Ohio State University Professor of Entomology Susan Jones was on Fox Business discussing what she calls the bedbug pandemic. She expects that the bed bug population will explode in the next 3-5 years. She gives a lot of good information about these vermin.
Grizzly Bears Encroaching on Human Habitat
Bear spray is essential if you’re in danger of running into a bear, because unlike a gun the spray will most likely drive off the attacker, while a gun may make the dying animal charge you. In a SHTF situation you can’t afford to be mauled by a Ol’ Ephraim, but if you live in the suburbs or a rural area your chances of running into him are increasing:

Australians Warned About American Whooping Cough Epidemic
While our media plays down the epidemic, largely because the outbreaks are traced to un-vaccinated illegal immigrant populations and the politically correct anti-vaxxer movement in many cases, other countries are warning their citizens to be cautious if they travel to our shores:
Australia Thursday warned travellers to the United States to watch out for a whooping cough outbreak which has claimed the lives of several babies.
The foreign affairs department said a number of American states had been hit by the disease including California, where local reports say nine babies have died.
“Several US states have reported an increase in cases and/or localised outbreaks of pertussis (whooping cough), including a state-wide epidemic in California,” the travel advice says.
“The United States government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises it is not necessary to delay travel to an area that is experiencing a pertussis outbreak, but visitors should make sure they are up to date on their vaccines.”
Whooping cough is highly contagious, but mild in adults. It is very dangerous for children however and California has recorded a number of deaths recently.
Pagans Plotted Grenade Attack on Hell’s Angels
After a member f the Pagans MC was assaulted by Hell’s Angels the leader of the club plotted a grenade attack on the rival gang, according to an A.T.F. investigation. The Pagans, who are outnumbered by the Angels and their Mexican Mafia allies, decided not to confront the Angels directly but were planning an ambush using home made explosives which would be thrown at the Angels as they rode through Long Island:
The Pagans and Hells Angels have been bitter enemies for years, but the murder conspiracy detailed in the 31-count indictment began in August 2009 after the beating of a Pagans member.
Then-Pagans “president of presidents” John (JR) Eberling ordered the violent response and tasked the undercover agent to carry out the plot, court papers say.
The agent secretly taped a planning session at a Rocky Point, L.I. tattoo parlor that doubled as the Pagans’ headquarters.
“Eberling cautioned that the Pagans were outnumbered at present and must be ‘smart’ about attacking. He promised the ‘hammer’s still going to drop on them (the Hells Angels),'” Miskiewicz said.
The Pagans members referred to the homemade grenades as “Christmas presents” they would lob at the Hells Angels as they rode through Long Island.
Eberling, 39, of Suffolk County, was arraigned in Long Island Federal Court and ordered held without bail.
Agents recovered the nail bomb in a safe in gang member Ezra Davis’ home in Holbrook.
With municipal services facing budget shortfalls and police departments facing cuts a Pagans/Angels war is the last thing any area needs, but ironically the receding authority of the state all but assures that war will happen.
