Resource Of The Week: King World News- Broadcast
As I’ve mentioned before, I like to listen to a number of financial and personal safety podcasts on a regular basis. Recently, I’ve started listening to a new one.
A couple of years ago, I happened to catch Eric King on the Financial Sense Newshour. I was pretty impressed by what he had to say, and shared the same concern he had of a “strongman” along the lines of Hitler and Stalin coming to power after a U.S. financial crash. I knew King headed up King World News (KWN), and when I finally headed over to his website to listen to one his interviews with the sort of people who correctly-called the U.S. housing bust and Great Recession, I kept coming on back for more.
Enter King World News- Broadcast.
From Wikipedia:
Eric King created King World News (KWN) in 2009 to fill a void he saw in mainstream journalism’s lack of coverage of essential information about financial markets. Each week, King conducts audio-only interviews with important people from business and finance.
In addition, King broadcasts something called the “KWN Weekly Metals Wrap” each Saturday. From the website:
We have added new segments to the KWN Weekly Metals Wrap covering gold, silver, trading and a plethora of other factors affecting the precious metals markets. I am giving King World News listeners globally access to what has long been my secret weapons in researching where gold and silver are headed directionally along with the COT Report. We Cover the Commitment of Traders Report in detail as well as a number of other factors which can influence the gold and silver market price action.
Looking back to the beginning of May, King has interviewed notable members of the financial/investing community like:
• Art Cashin (most recent)- Director of Floor Operations for UBS Financial Services & CNBC Market Commentator
• William Kaye- Founder, Vice Chairman and Senior Managing Director of the Pacific Alliance Group of Companies
• James Turk- Founder & Chairman of GoldMoney
• Andrew Maguire- Whistleblower & Independent London Metals Trader
• John Hathaway- Senior Managing Director & Portfolio Manager, Tocqueville Funds
• John Embry- Chief Investment Strategist for Sprott Gold & Precious Minerals Fund
• Dr. Paul Craig Roberts- Economist, Co-Founder of Reaganomics
• Jean-Marie Eveillard- Senior Adviser, Portfolio Management for First Eagle Funds
• Dr. Stephen Leeb- Chairman & Chief Investment Officer of Leeb Capital
I, myself, have King’s interview with James Turk uploaded into my mp3 player and ready to be listened to when (if) I have the time this weekend.
Eric manages to extract very insightful material from such well-informed individuals. Perhaps you might find what they have to say valuable too?

Resource Of The Week: Trigger Time TV
Last week’s “Resource Of The Week” was Student of The Gun, a firearms-related show that originally could only be viewed on satellite television but now can be watched on the Internet. In that same mold is Trigger Time TV, which features on the Pursuit Channel (available on DirecTV and DISH Network) but whose past episodes are archived on their website. From that site:
Trigger Time is a television show that brings together firearms professionals from across the United States to provide the highest level of firearms training and information to firearms enthusiasts across the country. We truly have an All Star roster of firearms professionals. Take a few minutes and review our show, our hosts, and how you can be a part of our television show. We are currently looking for products and services to highlight on television.
GOALS OF THE SHOW
• Showcase a variety of shooting personalities
• Entertain audiences with dynamic techniques
• Provide real world safety & training practices
• Educate a gun loving population on proper handling
• Introduce new shooters to a plethora of equipment
• Offer advanced tips for high level marksmen

I was lucky enough to discover Trigger Time TV early on in its production. The recently-departed Mark Craighead, owner/founder of CrossBreed Holsters, hosted Season 1 of the show, which consisted of 10 episodes.
Mike Lamb, founder of training/consulting firm Stoic Ventures, took over the role of host for Season 2, which is comprised of 8 episodes as far as I can tell.
According to the Trigger Time TV Facebook page, as of May 6 the crew is busy filming Season 3 of the show.
I really enjoy watching Trigger Time TV. Like Student of The Gun, it’s packed with valuable firearms-related information. My biggest problem has been forgetting to watch the TV show when it airs on the Pursuit Channel. But because past episodes are being archived on the Internet, that’s no longer a problem anymore. I can just catch it when I have time. Awesome.
Check out Trigger Time TV over on their website here.

Resource Of The Week: Student Of The Gun
One of the great things about satellite television (at least, DISH Network) is the number of shows dedicated to personal defense and the shooting sports.
But I’ve noticed a trend lately. A number of these productions are no longer limited to just being watched on the television set.
Take American Airgunner for example (a past ROTW that I blogged about here). These days, the show, which is devoted to air gun shooting sports, can be seen on satellite TV (Pursuit Channel) with archived episodes available on the Internet (YouTube.com).
Also available for viewing these days on the World Wide Web (hardly hear that term anymore) is Student of the Gun. My first exposure to SOTG was the TV show that used to air on DISH Network (Sportsman Channel). I thought it was really good. As time went on, however, I learned the television production was part of something larger. From their website:
Being a Student of the Gun is not about being a novice or beginner. Student of the Gun represents a life’s journey of education, enlightenment and the enjoyment of firearms. Each episode will introduce the viewer to new and interesting firearms as well as the latest gear to go with them.
We will travel throughout the United States seeking the advice and expertise of the best firearms trainers available. Sometimes deadly serious, sometimes just for fun, Student of the Gun will always strive to educate and entertain their viewers while offering them an insiders’ look at the worlds of firearms.
Paul G. Markel became a U.S. Marine in 1987 and served his nation during times of war and peace. A law enforcement veteran, Paul was a police officer for seventeen years before becoming a full-time Small Arms and Tactics Instructor. During the late unpleasantness, Mr. Markel has trained thousands of U.S. Military troops prior to their deployment to combat zones. He is and will remain a dedicated Student of the Gun.
“Bug-Out Bag Guns”

Now joining the TV show (available only via the Internet these days as far as I can tell) in the SOTG lineup are:
• Student of the Gun Radio Show (listened to first episode- good stuff; now on Episode 8)
• Student of the Gun Blog
• Student of the Gun HomeRoom (short “lectures”- mini-lessons- by “Professor Paul” Markel)
These resources contain lots of terrific firearm-related information, and can be easily-accessed in one place- the Student of the Gun website. Check it out!

Resource Of The Week: 20 Websites For Finding Local Food, Family Farms, Markets, Stands, Co-Ops, And More Near You
These days, I pay more attention to the source, quality, and cost of the food I consume than I used to (still have a long way to go however).
I have to thank my wonderful girlfriend for getting me started on the “right track” here.
And I was really glad to have stumbled on a March 8 article on finding locally-grown healthy food on the Activist Post website. Heather Callaghan wrote:
As demand for local and raw goods continue to rise, more people are asking – where do I find local organic? Where do I find raw milk and join a herd share? Where are the farmers markets, co-ops and stands?
Search engines are actually terrible at locating these underground hubs, which makes it so frustrating to try and opt out of corporate chains, save money, and build your family’s health. If you’ve ever gotten a bunch of ‘Yelp’ listings for weight loss pills while searching, you know what I’m talking about. I’ve helped a few people find a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) but I found it by accident. So where are they all hiding?
As it turns out, many of the farmers and markets you’re looking for have teamed up with certain websites to be mapped. Use this easy list to find yours today. They won’t all be on the same map, but you will be sure to find markets and family farms in your area that were previously invisible.
Heather went on to provide a list (website addresses) of “20 Quick Resources to Find Local Food, Farms, Markets, Stands, Co-ops and more!”
The websites she posted were terrific (I talked about LocalHarvest in a March 2011 post on beating higher food prices). I particularly liked reading about FarmMatch (“Unique because whoever you are, you can put yourself on the map to be matched with producers in your area”). And I’ll have to bookmark LocalDirt (“Helps you buy right from the farm. It’s also a marketplace that allows you to sell and trade. Got eggs? Sell them to your neighbors here.”) for when that Wisconsin homestead becomes reality.
Heather did a great job compiling this helpful collection of food-related resources, which are located on the Activist Post website here.
Eat healthy, my friends. And enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Resource Of The Week: American Airgunner TV Show
I’ve been blogging about air guns quite a bit recently. And while I know of quite a few firearm-related shows on my satellite TV these days, did you know there’s also a show out there devoted solely to air guns? Enter American Airgunner. From the show’s website:
Our mission is to promote non-powder guns (airguns) as safe, recreational, hunting, and sport shooting products while informing and educating viewers about the safe uses of airguns and related products.
American Airgunner was created by Paul Capello and began airing in 2008. At the beginning of 2012, production was assumed by Umarex USA, Inc., under the direction of Fort Smith based 5 Star Productions, LLC.. The 2013 season will be hosted by Rossi Morreale with Steve Criner covering airgun hunts. American Airgunner is now on a production journey that includes airgun hunting, technical segments and an airgun challenge in which contestants use both skill and strategy to knock down and explode various targets with a multitude of airguns.
You can follow American Airgunner by watching the show on the Pursuit Channel, visiting AmericanAirgunner.com, liking the Facebook page, following our Twitter account, or subscribing to us on YouTube.
“American Airgunner 2013 Season Teaser”
YouTube Video
I first became aware of the show a couple of years ago when Paul Capello and Crystal Ackley were the co-hosts. I mentioned Paul just last week in an “Advertiser Spotlight” post I did about Pyramid Air, for which the well-known airgunner records, edits, and publishes Airgun Reporter in which he reviews all aspects of an air gun. Crystal now has a budding acting career in Hollywood. Together the two made a good team, which made for a terrific TV show. I wish both Paul and Crystal all the best with their future projects.
As I’ve noted recently, air guns are becoming an attractive supplement to firearm training. Firearm owners may want to give American Airgunner a look to see if such guns might be of some use to them in this respect. In addition, a number of air guns are known to make fine hunting tools. From the sounds of it, the upcoming 2013 episodes will be focusing on that aspect quite a bit.
If you don’t have the Pursuit Channel, you can watch all of 2012’s episodes (when Umarex assumed control of the series) on YouTube here.

Resource Of The Week: Pyramid Air’s Airgun Academy
Back on June 1, I talked about using air guns as firearm training tools. For those wanting to utilize air pistols and rifles as part of their training regimen, but don’t know where to start- enter Pyramid Air’s Airgun Academy. Pyramid Air, based out of Warrensville, Ohio, is “the largest airgun web site in the world,” according to their website. This vendor of all sorts and sizes of air guns established its “academy” to assist newbies. From the Airgun Academy home page:
Welcome to Airgun Academy

Resource Of The Week: Deep Earth Bunker Radio
Many of you need no introduction to Deep Earth Bunker LLC. Back on March 9 I introduced the new Discovery Channel TV show Doomsday Bunkers and wrote:
Enter Scott Bales, an engineer by trade and owner of Deep Earth Bunker out of Dallas, Texas. From their website:
We manufacture and design, Bunkers and Storm/Hurricane Shelters Panic Vaults and Safe Rooms!
According to Bales, DEB started off fabricating storm shelters first, then added bunkers due to prepper demand. From the show:
Extreme weather and a volatile economy have triggered an explosion of new preppers. Scott’s Texas plant has been bombarded with new orders.
The company has built and installed hundreds of bunkers to date.
While surfing the DEB website earlier this week I noticed Scott and company now had something called Deep Earth Bunker Radio. From the site:
The Host of Doomsday Bunkers Scott and guests, talking about many issues as well as bunkers!
Sounds neat. It looks like the first show premiered on Saturday, May 26, but they ran into technical problems. I downloaded the next two shows- which aired that next day and that following Saturday- onto my MP3 player earlier this week. From the website:
Make up Show Deep Earth Bunker
Sun, May 27, 2012We apologize for our first show on Saturday, the servers which handle live streaming and callers was down and we couldnt take calls or stream live, a recording of the show is on deepearthbunker.com, we stopped 45 mins early because our scheduled callers couldnt get into the system. So we scheduled a 1 hr show tonight in order to make up for it.
Guests toight, Steve Willis from EP2 Tactical Bunker, Michael Haden from EP1 , James , And Big Johnny Price…
Doomsday Bunkers and Deep Earth Bunker
Sat, June 2, 2012THIS WEEKS RADIO SHOW WILL BE AT 9CST INSTEAD OF 8 BECAUSE ILL BE ON ANOTHER SHOW FROM 7-8 CST. WE WILL BEGIN AT 9CST-11PM THIS SATURDAY, GIVES ME A 1 HR BREAK BETWEEN SHOWS!
We have several guests on the show, including DUTCHSINSE, and several clients of Deep Earth Bunker.
The Producer of our show is Dixon Troyer, and 20 year Veteran producer of several tv shows and doomsday bunkers our show! He also was a actor back in the day.
We can take questions about our show , what we are doing now, etc.. As well as discuss many things going on in the world, why people need to protect themselves.
GOVERNMENT ISSUES
HAARP WEATHER MODS
FEMA CAMPS
GUNS
EVERYTHING
Also the Media that we are about to do on national tv and other radio stations, news stations.
We can talk about almost anything.
I listened to both shows, and I must admit, I didn’t know what to think at first. The production quality wasn’t as polished as something like The Survival Podcast. Scott Bales even went off-air late during the June 2 show. But I’ve always been more about the content when it comes to these things, so the rough-around-the-edges production and glitches weren’t that big of a deal for me. I have a pretty good idea Dixon, Scott, and the rest of the gang will iron things out as the show progresses.
About content. The topics for each show were announced at the beginning of the broadcasts, and a number of subjects were discussed, including the “Amero,” bartering, bug-out bags, bunkers (of course!), current threats, self-sufficiency, weapons, and zombies, to name a few. Call-in guests contributed to the discussion. These included preppers, bunker clients who appeared on Doomsday Bunkers episodes, and even a producer of National Geographic Channel’s Doomsday Preppers, who got into prepping after working on that show. Listeners were also invited to call in as well.
Overall, I liked the two installments I listened to of Deep Earth Bunker Radio. Nothing was really in-depth, but they touched on a lot of subjects. Some stuff I found interesting/useful, others things, not so much. But someone else probably did though, so that’s cool. Following-up with DEB clients who appeared on Doomsday Bunkers was neat, as was the Doomsday Preppers producer’s story. I plan on listening to their next show, which is scheduled to be broadcast tomorrow, Saturday, June 9.
You can go to the Deep Earth Bunker Radio website here to find out more.

LDS Preparedness Manual Updated
Back on April 4 last year, I talked about how many of the 14 million worldwide members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are quite knowledgeable when it comes to emergency preparedness. For the Mormons, being prepared and self-reliant is a way of life.
I also wrote:
For a closer look at some of the emergency preparedness practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, church member Christopher M. Parrett has uploaded a 222-page unofficial LDS Preparedness Manual (V5.03, January 1st, 2011, “Member Edition”) on the Another Voice of Warning website here (.pdf format). Interesting stuff.
This afternoon, I received a message from Christopher Parrett via the Survival And Prosperity “Contact” page that said the manual had been recently updated. According to Christopher, a new, 505-page 15th anniversary edition of the LDS Preparedness Manual is now available as a free download from www.ldsavow.com.
Topics covered in the 2012 General Membership Edition include:
• Emergency Preparedness. Why?
• Expert Counsel
• Getting Started
• Food Storage Tools & References
• Grains & Legumes
• Sugar, Milk, Fats & Oils
• Cooking Essentials
• Processing & Preservation
• Sprouting
• Storage
• Every Needful Thing
• 72 Hour Emergency Kit (Get Out Of Dodge / Bug Out Bag)
• Evacuation
• Communication
• Financial
• Medical
• Defense
• Heating, Cooking, Lighting
• Clothing
• Shelter
• Sanitation
• Testing your Preparedness
• Babies and Small Children
• Pandemics
• Terrorist
• Preparedness Outside Your Comfort Zone
Whew! As the editor- Parrett- said in his message:
This version represents the single largest update ever made over the last 15 years, more than “Doubling” the total size and content of the manual!!
You can download the 15th anniversary edition of the LDS Preparedness Manual here.

Resource Of The Week: BullionVault Weekly Wrap
One thing I’ve heard veteran gold investors and observers recommend is not to pay too much attention to the price action of the yellow metal unless you want to feel like you’re on a rollercoaster ride.
Yeah, it’s that volatile.
Still, I like to keep tabs on precious metals as part of my research/blogging, but not necessarily on a daily basis.
Enter “BullionVault Weekly Wrap”- a neat video series on YouTube that provides a clear, concise round-up of the week’s gold action. Silver is also covered.
For those who don’t know, BullionVault is the world’s largest online investment gold service and an advertising partner of Survival And Prosperity. I discussed the British-based company back on September 23.
And here’s the latest entry in that series, entitled “Gold Prices Shoot Back Above $1600:”
YouTube Video
“Bullion Vault Weekly Wrap” has a lot of promise. I intend to check in with the video series on a weekly basis to see how gold- and silver- have been performing.
The series is located on YouTube here.
