THEI’s Own Rick Osmon on Coast To Coast AM for 4th of July

Coast to Coast AM

THEI’s Own Rick Osmon on Coast To Coast AM with George Noory for 4th of July

Second Half: Rick Osmon was a civilian electronics technician with US Navy where he worked with the highest levels of technology. Applying his knowledge to archeological [sic] evidence, he claims to have found sites occupied by ancient Romans and others in North America.

Tune in to hear how ancient people, including Romans in America, communicated all the way across a continent in a day using a line of sight communications network.

There it is!!

Probably by the time I get this post finished and published, there will have been 10,000,000 views (ten million!) of this web site since December 15, 2012. And, no, the world didn’t end shortly after that either…

 

Anyway, it’s is with our thanks I announce a milestone of folks actually clicking on our stuff

Airships Anew!

by Rick Osmon

 

The Sun story (I found thanks to the Drudge Report) about a 460 foot long yacht that sports its own helo pad and airship is kinda cool. I’m not sure it’s practical, but it’s kinda cool. I guess practicality may depend on your application or need for vindication.

SUN STORY

 

Of course, the US Navy has the most complete history of pairing airships to surface ships, but everybody from NASA to Goodyear has practical application under their respective belt. To date, most of the practical application has been for surveillance or observation.

We’ve also carried stories about heavy lift freight airships, remote access hospital modules deployed by airship, equatorial arboreal species scientists using airships to enable research, and dozens of other potential applications of airships. And yet, the only airships we see commonly are somehow tied to sports or other major event coverage…. Meaning, of course, a form of surveillance and observation.

You’ve also seen us publish many, many stories about “drones”. How they have and will continue to endanger your privacy while adding to both your potential for improving personal security and detracting from it.

So what happens when the two technologies combine? What happens when a drone can stay aloft for months at a time while supporting the types of cameras that can read a license plate from a hundred and eight miles in space? Will they be used to capture more cute kitten footage for Facebook?

Dad shoots down Drone Spying on His Sunbathing Daughter: UPDATED

A Louisville, Kentucky father is facing felony charges for shooting down a drone.

“I didn’t shoot across the road, I didn’t shoot across my neighbor’s fences, I shot directly into the air,” William Merideth said.

Shortly afterwards, police showed up and took Merideth into custody.

Military.com and Associated Press are reporting use of chlorine gas bombs by Islamic State fighters against government troops and civilians in Kurdish Iraq.

The Kurds allege at least three such attacks in the past six months. Twenty seven years ago, an entire town, some 5,000 Kurdish men, women, and children, were killed and another 10,000 injured by Iraqi chemical warheads in Halabja.

THEI EXCLUSIVE: Prepping Possum Holler, Part Two: Biogas Generator Systems

Exclusive “Off the Grid” Report

Prepping Possum Holler
Part Two: Bio-gas Generator Systems

Prepping Possum Holler, Part one

by Rick Osmon THEI.us Web Master/Writer

In the event of a total societal and industrial breakdown, the local gas station has about 6 hours of stock. After that, you’ll either be burning stored gasoline or making your own fuel. Most people would be clueless where to start on the latter. I sure was, and then I spent time and money to get educated on it. So now I have a clue, but I haven’t yet solved the case.

Bio-gas is one form of fuel that your stationary small engines (like generators) can be adapted to use. Burning it is actually easy, but manufacturing it and storing it are not so much. Almost any vegetable matter, including manure, can be turned into biogas and solid byproducts (fertilizer), but, as you may imagine, it can be a dirty and dangerous business.

Another source of gas is lake water, well sort of. The bubbles that come up through a lake are methane and quite combustible.

So, I’m working on a system to collect that gas and run it into a generator. On my scale, it will require at least a quarter acre to an acre of heavy plastic sheeting, a bunch of plastic pipe, some metal pipe, valves, some weights, a couple thousand zip ties, a thousand feet of heavy buried electrical cable, a small generator house, and will require a decent size jon boat and a few hundred feet of rope for the installation process. In order to maintain the gas pressure I will need to run the engine(s), the highest point of the collector will have to be at least 17 feet beneath the lake surface.

I have several advantages in this scheme: (1) I own the lake and it’s of appropriate form and size, (2) I already own a generator capable of powering the all electric farmstead, (3) it’s rural, so the noise, code, and zoning restrictions are not insurmountable, (4) there are several interested private parties willing to help with construction and installation.

There are also some disadvantages: (1) I have no way of actually measuring the amount of methane this lake produces, so I can’t know for sure the production is adequate for this plan; (2) The plastic sheeting could be subject to damage during certain recreational activities and fishing in this lake could end up being a primary source of protein in a true SHTF scenario; (3) One level or another of government is going to figure out a way to tax it.

There are also some modifications required to make the generator run on biogas. I’ll be using the research already done by others as a starting point, but I still need to get it right the first time if I don’t want to buy expensive replacement parts. Some of the best work has been done by B. T. Nijaguna

If I get everything right, I should be able to produce 6.375 kW continuously – on free fuel – using a generator I already own, generally available materials, and comparatively easy construction.

That would generally be more electrical power than this place would consume and, in theory, I would be able to sell some back to the grid. But right now, my home State of Indiana is entertaining a move to allow the grid operators (DUKE) to only pay wholesale AND to charge fees for hooking up as a seller. This will kill most wannabe small producers’ plans. I’ll forego the net metering and lose the revenue from sales in exchange for not paying their exorbitant rates.

Possum Holler Prepping: Rocket Motors

From Possum Holler:
When a SHTF event happens, the FAA rules may not apply, until then, pay close attention the Grant’s advice at the end of this video! Other than that, very cool project stuff. These can be used for a number of practical applications besides aerial surveillance photography. They were once used to deploy large nets for animal capture, signalling, line throwing, and, of course, ordnance delivery. Just remember, you can’t “unlight” a solid rocket motor fuse.

Prepping at Possum Holler, Part one

Stuck out in the sticks as our place is, should a real disaster happen, we are on our own with regard to utilities. While it is possible to live completely off the grid and even somewhat rewarding and gratifying to do so, it’s also a real pain in the ass. But there will come a day (or a week or an eternity) when there is no other choice.

Yes, we have generators and a few used photo-voltaic panels (which are near the far end of the useless scale by the time somebody gets rid of them), but we also need something that will generate enough heat to melt steel without eating all our every day living energy. So, we found a couple “free to a good home” rear projection TV’s that don’t work right or don’t use the digital signal or for some reason don’t suit the persons parting with said TV’s. Well, rather than expend many hours making a documentary video about how to use a rear projection TV as a steel mill, here’s one already made by Grant Thompson “The King of Random”. I think maybe he’s also the King of Life Hacks

Video of the Day: Teens are baffled by ’90s Internet

The Fine Brothers (TheFineBros) recently put up this Youtube video in which teens react to 1990’s internet technology. The video is worth watching, yes, and the 4.8 million views seems to indicate some level of success for the production. But I got stuck reading through the nearly 18,000 comments. I’m sure the NSA controllers have a robot app for that.
