Why is this even an issue?

In the last hundred years four manuscripts have been dictated through blinking. The authors used an intermediary and either used Morse code or some other form of code that was then used to create the manuscript. more famous that a book like The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is something more popular like a Brief History of Time . Stephen Hawking hasn’t spoken a word for almost three decades and yet has managed to publish more that twenty papers and challenge the notion that matter cannot be destroyed.

That said why is there a question as to whether or not Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will be able to answer questions. I have full faith in the medical community being able to make this person able to tell the world all.

We’ve overcome the Gun Dudes jamming and have made contact with the ever elusive Glen Tate. The author of the 299 Days series is a close friend and someone who’s perspective on the world I’ve come to respect a great deal. With all that has happen this last week i thing that we could all use a little bit of Glen. Now keep in mind that Mr. Tate does not have the most… sunny of dispositions today but that might have something do do with where he’s calling from but that would be a guess.

TGRP Episode 310: Interview with Tim Matters from Tactical Walls

This is just a few shades cooler than having you gun sitting on the night stand or a few mags in the cupboard just in case something goes bump in the night and you have to bump back. Tactical wall allows you to not just store firearms and ammo in critical locations in your home but also to camouflage them.  The systems are designed to accommodate most carbine sized rifles and a wide variety of pistols. These items are not a safe but help bridge the gap between the safe and quick ready access in multiple location in you home.

Think of it as concealed carry for you house allowing you t have spare mags, shot gun shells and even a rifle handy away from you safe, bedroom or man cave. Tim in a veteran of the United Stated Air Force and is a firm believer in home defense. Needless to say I like. Too bad I can do this at school….

TGRP Episode 309: The Great Lahar

The velocity of the America’s government is getting far to great. there is not longer any subtlety to it. All that remains is the brute force is all that the bullies in Washington D.C.  have to use. But long ago a group of enlightened men created protections from this kind of problem.

When the Constitution was crafted there were certain provisions placed into it such as the checks and balances that are suppose to exist. Each of the three branches acting as a checks on the other but that is not how things have turned out in the last few years. Where the pace of government is much shower as we have entered a down turn in the course of our nation the speed with which things are progressing.

There are many miss understanding about the authority that the federal government has that authority ends with the 9th and 10th Amendments and this needs to be passed on up to those who believe they reign over us.

TGRP Episode 307: A Garand Idea

In the series that addresses the service rifles of the 20th century We come the the M1 Garand. There is more to this rifle than the sum of it’s parts or it’s development. It along with a collection of other weapons would help create the most robust fighting force in the world. The Garand saw a great deal of action as a stand alone weapon but more than that the Garand was part of a combined arms team on the fire team an squad level that has persisted to today.

TGRP Episode 306: Some Food for Thought

Since food is one of the essential elements that we need to survive. Today along with the many problems that we have with the things that are done to and put into food as well as the supply chain that America and a number of other nations have adopted. Today the podcast will go into not just this but also look into food storage, homesteading for freedom and how a person or family can plan and use food storage to save money. This episode focuses on everyday food because that is what most people will be familiar with. There are long term store-able food that can and should be part of one’s preps but for the person just getting started this is easier to get a hold of. The rule is that one should eat what they store and store what they eat.

TGRP Episode 305: Water Table

Water is one of the most precious resources on the planet. It is in short supply from the deserts of Africa to the dwindling waters of the Ogallala Aquifer (Running out of Water) . There is a need to understand what is happening with water in our world and the ways that we can make it work for us. The is surprisingly little water on earth and it is so rare that NASA invests billions looking for signs of it on other planets when looking for life.

TGRP Episode 304: Prepping for the Harbor

After my appearance on our local radio station I wanted to do a little bit of community outreach to the people of Grays Harbor Washington. The station is 1450 am and 94.7 fm KBKW. The show is call Coffee Talk and is quite the show. The host Doug McDowell invites leaders of the community and other local commentators on to the show to talk about topics that concern the county and the communities within the county. From Sheriff Rick Scott to little old me there guests are invited to help better the community and the show is an excellent forum to that end.

Originally I came onto the show to talk about guns and their roll in our communities through some of the same topics that I have brought to my regular listeners in the past but due to the direction that came up the last time I was on the air I decided to dedicate and entire two hour episode to the topic of prepping in my community. I will do one or two more episodes specifically on this because as a podcaster I am not forced into time constraints as talk radio hosts are and this is a good way to get the information into the community.
