Survival and Beyond - Radio.NaturalNews.com

My heart goes out to all the victims of the tornado in Oklahoma and their families. One of the first issues I discuss is the trend towards non-preparedness and "short-term thinking" among individuals and in communities that are prone to natural disaster. I cover the latest developments in the IRS scandal involving those who were behind the targeting of patriot groups and the trail of lies and denial all the way up the chain of command. I also talk about Monsanto's recent attempts to alter the 2013 Farm Bill to block states from demanding GMO labeling. I'm spreading the word about the worldwide "March Against Monsanto" and the long-term reasons why GM crops are the biggest threat to our ecosystem. I also offer my final conclusion about Adam Kokesh's armed march on Washington DC and why I think it's a BAD idea. I also read listener's mail, which led to many interesting topics, including disconnecting yourself from the "system" and how empowering people with the truth about reality creation, consciousness and connectedness is one of the most important things we can do as individuals (among several other topics!)

Those of us who are "awake" like to think there has been a noticeable increase in the numbers of people who are no longer getting suckered in by the media lies, government cover-ups, conflicting reports and obvious malfeasance towards the American people, but nothing drives that home more than when your own mom starts talking about false flags and the signs of tyranny! I also discuss some other topical subjects such as the latest anomalous weather patterns in terms of geo-engineering and the HAARP array(s). I talk about some of the unanswered questions around the Boston Marathon bombing, the IRS as Obama's Gestapo and how to fight back against weaponized drones, as well as some productive thoughts on consciousness and connectedness. I also invited Aquaponics expert and system designer; Chad Hudspeth to the show to talk about this great method of perpetual food production!

How's that for an eclectic mix of topics? On this show, Ed talks about former DHS officer turned Whistleblower; Julia Davis who was ruthlessly investigated, labeled a "domestic terrorist", arrested and imprisoned twice (exonerated on both counts) all for doing her job, trying to protect her country... Yet again illustrating that the REAL war that DHS is waging is not against terror, but the American people. He also talks about the results of new studies conducted by the Pew Research Center and the Bureau of Justice Statistics that both show - despite what the MSM would have us all believe - that gun violence has actually dropped precipitously since 1993. Ed discusses the phenomenon of "Lucid Dreaming" and relates a recent experience, as well as one of the most effective principles in manifesting your own reality (as well as other twists and turns along the stream of consciousness).

On this show, Ed talks about embarking on another adventure and possible relocation to yet another part of this great country as well as the considerations involved from both a personal and survival perspective. He brings up a seldom discussed factor that blows yet another hole in the "Lone Wolf" survival fallacy. He also Reflects on the last year of producing and hosting Survival and Beyond and where the show is going in the future. But most importantly, he addresses the growing militarization of DHS and the threat it poses to the American people.

On this show, Ed explores what the definition of what freedom really is, as well as some excursions into whether we can finally write off governance as a failed experiment (after only 2,000 years of trial and error). He also speaks about what "individuality" really means and though we may all be separate, self-aware entities, we are all intrinsically connected to one another and how you have the energy to create your own destiny. Of course Ed goes off on many of his famous tangents, covering too may topics to be covered in this description (so you'll just have to listen to hear what else he talks about). Ed also welcomes his good friend Lisa Bedford (The Survival Mom) back to the show talking about her new radio network!

This week on the show, my good friend; John Milandred (founder of Pioneer Living and the Prepper Podcast Radio Network) drops by to talk about the media, homesteading, "survivalism", prepping and other important topics. Then, I interview Marshall Nelson; one of the founders of AwarenessAct.com - the fastest growing social network for patriots. If you're no longer asleep and you're fed up with the censorship and data-mining on Facebook, you should check this site out!

Ed Starts off the show discussing this unusually long winter with the psychological and emotional effects it brings and alternative methods of dealing with it from his own personal experience. He also talks about the importance of reality consciousness, metaphysics and spirituality as a weapon against opression. Then he shifts gears illustrating how the tyranny that we fear is coming down the road is already here. The latest sign being the newly minted "Monsanto Protection Act" which essentially removes the last obstacle to complete corporate control of our food supply. On the bright side, he also talks about the successes of PANDA and the growing number of states standing up to NDAA and the signs of more sheeple waking up. He also welcomes Jim Jones, the founder of Live Free USA (one of the oldest survivalist/preparedness organizations in the country) to the show!

When the signs of tyranny are all around us and the noose keeps getting tighter, it's natural for us to want to look to groups, organizations, leaders - or even politicians to affect meaningful change, but the true seat of power lies in the individual. Government only holds sway on those who are willing to be governed and lies only have weight when there are people willing to carry it. Will you be an active accomplice to your own enslavement, or will you be a conduit for mass awakening? The difference between freedom and 21st century serfdom depends on the compliance of the serfs. Those of us who are "awake" bear the responsibility of awakening the rest (not just in status updates on Facebook), or we may as well consign our progeny to the new world order.

This week on the show, I recount some of my earliest adventures and experiences in manifestation, illustrating how you create your own reality (whether you're conscious of it or not). My seemingly random meandering around the US and some of the miracles that happened along the way, as well as achieving "inner peace" (perhaps for the first time) living in a tent in rural Indiana... Of course, there's a lot more than that as well, but you'll have to listen to the show...

This week, Ed's back from Florida with some stories to tell about his encounters and experiences, including (as usual) some metaphysical observations about the nature of free will vs pre-destination (otherwise known as "fate"). This comes rise as a result of a life-changing experience that had nothing to do (seemingly) with the reason he was there in the first place... "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."

This week, Ed's currently on the road, making his way back from his recent adventure in Florida, but he put together a couple of popular interviews with two of the most respected authorities from the worlds of self reliance and survival! In the first half of the show, you'll hear Ed's conversation with renowned survival expert and self-reliance author; Christopher Nygeres. On the show they discuss what it means to live with "purpose", the survival learning process, urban survival and even the art of "squatting". The second half of the show features an encore of the popular interview Ed had with FerFAL Agguire, who survived the economic collapse of the Argentinian economy back in 2001 and wrote the acclaimed book "Surviving the Economic Collapse". It was a great discussion about a broad range of subjects, including (but not limited to) what to expect and how best to be prepared for an economic collapse. Ed will back next week with an all new show detailing what he learned and experienced (from profane to profound) in his most recent travels!

This week I'm doing the show from the road in central Florida where John Milandred and I have been shooting an episode for an upcoming TV program. While I've been here it was my distinct honor to spend some time with Joe Hurston; one of the most fascinating people I've had the pleasure to meet in all my years of survival and preparedness. Joe is a true force for good in the world who has spent the last 40 years literally flying (his own plane) into the most dangerous places on Earth, bringing life saving resources, help and hope to victims of the most horrific disasters in the U.S., Japan, Haiti, Indonesia, Pakistan, India and wherever help is most needed - often times in defiance of political and military forces. Joe is one of my personal heroes and I'm proud to call him my friend. He's a true example of what ONE PERSON can do to make a difference in the world and is an inspiration to preppers and survivalists everywhere.

On this week's show Ed recounts some of his early adventures across the country and the lessons learned (no matter how retrospectively). He also talks about how intent and faith could be playing a role in your life and manifestation without you even realizing it - and how powerful that energy could be when full intent is employed. Another topic of discussion is geographic frequency points and whether you are where you should be for maximum control of your reality.

This week on the show, I'm happy to have my good friend John Milandred back on the show after nearly a year long sabbatical! John is one of the founding members of the American Preppers Network as well as the founder of the online magazine; Pioneer Living and the Prepper Podcast Radio Network. His upbringing in the great northwest made him a life-long student of nature, learning from his father and grandfather both Native American and early pioneer survival skills. He ran a homestead with his wife and daughter in SE Oklahoma, raising their own crops and small livestock, living as close to a pioneer lifestyle as possible. John and I have had some good times over the years and it's been a while since we've had a chance to catch up. For those of you who know John, he's now settled back down on the homestead after a bit of adventure around the country and I thought it would be great to have him on the show! The conversation went long and all over the place :-) We talked about freedom, food, fluoride, homesteading, brainwashing, the Oklahoma Chupacabra, our conditioned culture and slave society and of course... manifesting reality.

On the show this week, Ed welcomes Charlie McGrath; host of Wide Awake News back to the show and discuss the issues involving the increase in media manipulation, the ongoing gun control debate and other topical issues. Ed also talks about the groundswell of Sheriffs in the U.S. taking a stand with Richard Mack against unconstitutional federal gun control laws and covers three irrefutable points that should shut down any anti-gun debate... (if only someone would use them!) As usual, Ed also explores a bit more into the realms of consciousness and the various perceptions of "reality". He also discusses the necessity to spread higher consciousness thinking as we approach what could be a tipping point for our world as we know it.
