Announcing: the publication of Joel Skousen's 3rd Edition of  = The Secure Home

Finally Available Again= After 17 Years!

This is the long awaited update of my original and popular work, The Surv= ival Home Manual, last printed in 1982.  It has a new title and is a near total rewrite--expanded from 300 pages to 700 pages.  This book is intended to give you all the information you need to implement a high sec= urity and self-sufficient residence or retreat, from initial design strategy to alternate electric systems and high security shelter construction deta= ils.  This massive volume shows you how to accomplish the complex process of integrating all of the security and self-sufficiency systems into a co= nventional structure.  My lists of  specific product and equipment recomme= ndations, along with sources, will save you months of research.
 

Here Is Why This Book Is So Important

First, someday everyone will wish they had a home with higher levels of security and self-sufficiency.  Most of you who are receiving this Email have had some contact with my work regarding the coming Y2k problem= .  Along with my book Strategic Relocation, this book will giv= e you the best one-stop source of information found anywhere in the prepare= dness, security and self-sufficiency field.  However, what I want to concen= trate on in this message is a much more dangerous and long-term threat--the threat of another major World War.  Only this time it will be nuclear, in my opinion.  I am very concerned about the zeal with whi= ch the Clinton Administration and some of the NATO nations have decided to start pushing the world around and rearranging other's nation's affairs according to their New World Order image.  I think there is a darker agenda going on here and that humanitarian reasons are only a cover. = ; In preparation for war, this new expanded edition of my classic book will be extremely helpful.  There are a other few books that explain how to design high security shelters in your back yard, but this is the only book that integrates a complete range of all the security features and self-sufficiency equipment into a conventional home--where I presu= me most of you would prefer to stay.   I will now detail some key evidence that confirms my feelings that we are being pushed towards a war= .  If you are not interested in this analysis, feel free to scroll down to the end for a listing of the book's Table of Contents.
 

The Coming Threat of War

Criminal behavior is not the only threat to our security.  The real problem is a government that has a very dark and secret agenda--to replac= e constitutional liberty with a phony type of “freedom” called the “T= hird Way”  coupled to a New World Order (NWO).   The Third Wa= y is supposed to be a benevolent mix of the best of capitalism and the best of socialism.  But, it is nothing more than the old British Fabian socialism (private ownership but government control) dressed up in euphem= istic, nice- sounding terms.  It has nothing to do with real freedom.  Like controlled “free trade” it is only a hook to get Americans to ta= ke the bait of increased globalist organizations, (like NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and the World Court) that will turn freedom into bureaucratic, “managed care” and undermine the constitutional protection for individual libert= y--which is the only true form of freedom.

The same globalist promoters who gave us the UN and NATO want all the world’s people to give up their “isolationist views” (meaning sover= eignty) and become a partner in enforcing their version of “values” and “de= mocracy.”  Tony Blair said it openly at the Chicago Economic Club--that Kosovo is a purposeful invasion of another country to set a pattern of intervent= ionism that will force the rest of the world to finally agree to a new and revis= ed NATO and UN, with powers to intervene wherever resistance to world govern= ment develops.
 

A Dark, Hidden Agenda on the World Stage

The presumed humanitarian motives for intervention in Kosovo are just ano= ther cover to justify rearranging the New World Order.  The new globalist agenda has a new name, by the way.  They are now calling it the “d= octrine of International Community.”  If these would-be saviors of humanit= y were really sincere about humanitarian intervention, they would have inte= rvened in the ethnic cleansing going on in the Sudan, Rwanda, and Tibet where millions are crying for deliverance as you read this.   What this charade is really doing is branding the Western nations as aggressor= s, and causing a dramatic rise in hatred against the West in many parts of the world--especially Slavic nations.  It is also intentionally weak= ening the US military, and draining our national resources.

This isn’t just stupidity, there is method to this apparent madness.=   The induced anti-American sentiment is precisely what is needed to set the stage for the next World War.   The Globalists desperately need another war to fully justifying the destruction of all national sove= reignty and forcing all nations into a huge world government with full police and military powers.   Bill Clinton and the NWO boys are busy setti= ng us up to be the prime focus of the next war.  That’s right--we are to be the main target, for the first time in history.  Fomenting hat= red in Russia against Americans is a necessary prelude to this war, and that is what you and I are witnessing in the Balkans.  These conniving leaders have no more sympathy for the refugees in Kosovo than they had for the children in Columbine High School.  Both of these tragedies provide unique opportunities for them to further both national and person= al disarmament respectively.  In my World Affairs Brief Internet newsle= tter I  detail what I believe are the specific intents behind this future war as well as other interesting behind the scenes information.
 

We Can No Longer Trust our Leaders

Lying has become epidemic among all levels of government.  Even wors= e are purposeful omissions of critical facts that would allow Americans to understand the danger we face.   What few patriotic agents rema= in in the CIA and FBI are constantly muzzled to make sure no word leaks out about government collusion to take down liberty and corrupt the public’= s will to resist.   The words, “National Security” are invoke= d time after time to silence military personnel, government agents and even local police to force them to remain silent when they see egregious viola= tions of law and liberty.

How can any thinking person believe Bill Clinton when he assures us there are no nuclear threats pointed at America’s children?   Naturally, he gets away with it because most people want to believe him--= to consider the alternative (nuclear war) is unthinkable for most.  Let= ’s ask some key questions: When the Chinese Communists claim they have stole= n nothing from America, do you believe them?  Of course not.  The= n why should you believe them when they claim they are no longer targeting American cities?  Why should you believe the Russian’s similar den= ials when they have been lying and cheating for years on every aspect of disar= mament?   Of course, it is easier to believe when the truth is masked with the care= fully crafted propaganda about Russian military weakness.  Nothing could be further from the truth (see the World Affairs Brief).  Furthermor= e, both the Russians and the Chinese went ballistic (pun intended) when Clin= ton announced he was going along with a Republican proposal (he was lying aga= in) to implement a puny 200 interceptor Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) system.&= nbsp; Why would the Russians and Chinese be so upset with a purely defensive system?  The Russians themselves have a massive ABM system in place already.   It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out t= hat there is only one reason they are rabidly opposing ABMs--because they int= end to strike with ballistic missiles someday.  Meanwhile America sleeps.
 

So How Do We Prepare For Such A Crisis?

It isn’t easy, and it will cost money, but when you look at the alterna= tives, you’ll kick yourself someday if you don’t do some important things no= w while you still can.
· First, you need to make sure you don’t live in a nuclear t= arget area, or even in a major metro that will turn into chaos when a strike comes.  See my book Strategic Relocation--North American Guide to Safe Places  for target locations and the answers to your relocation questions or the planning of a contingency retreat.
· Second, each family needs to have some shelter against fallo= ut.   Most people won’t die when exposed to low levels of radiation--but they will still get very sick and may even wish they were dead.  There will be long term health problems thereafter as well.  So do plan on making preparations.  My How to Implement a High Security Shelter in the Home details how to do a concrete block shelter within an existing garage or basement.  The Secure Home details poured concrete constru= ction, which is much easier when building a new  house or adding on to your existing house.  The Secure Home also has the full range of details on self-sufficiency and security that is lacking in the smaller High Secu= rity Shelter Plan book.  Both books have their unique place depending on your circumstances.
· Third, there will be tremendous social unrest, dislocation, and eventual tyranny in the aftermath of war.  You need to prepare for some form of energy and production self-sufficiency so that you and your family don’t have to join the long lines of refugees and the starv= ing people throwing themselves at the mercy of warring governments. &nbs= p; The Secure Home covers the full range of all self-sufficiency systems and equipment--plus all the sources where you can find them.  I’ve don= e most of the homework for you--a real time saver.
· Fourth, you need to start stockpiling food, water, tools, equipment, and supplies.   In a future financial collapse, due to either war or depression, these extensive stockpiles can effectively reduce you need for funds.  Its like being out of debt--you can hunk= er down and cut your spending to almost zero.  All this requires storag= e space and planning.   For valuables you must provide for concea= led safe storage areas.  I cover all these aspects in detail, plus  lots more.   Full details on the book are on my website: http://www.xsw.com/securehome
