The company which was holding Hillary Clinton’s email server now acknowledges that it may not have been “wiped” after all. And of course, if Hillary didn’t wipe, she also didn’t wash her hands of potentially incriminating evidence, all of which means that the few supporters who are turning out to shake her withered talons are likely to be exposing themselves to a nasty dose of email e-coli. Or, uh, something.

I am not afraid of an economic collapse.  Coming from someone that runs “The Economic Collapse Blog”, I am sure that sounds like a very odd statement.  But it is true.  I have no fear of economic collapse, even though I am fully convinced that the hardest times that any of us have ever experienced are ahead.  I spend countless numbers of hours in front of my computer immersed in deeply disturbing information, and yet I sleep more soundly at night than I ever have before.  In fact, my wife and I seek to live in a constant state of “shalom”, which is the Hebrew word for peace.  So how is this possible?  How can “the economic collapse guy” not be absolutely overwhelmed by fear, depression and paranoia?

Unlike so many that write about these things, I believe that preparation for what is ahead goes far beyond the physical.  So I am constantly stressing the need for mental, emotional and especially spiritual preparation.  Personally, I have absolutely no idea how atheists are going to make it through what is coming.  They don’t understand why they are here, they don’t understand why history is unfolding the way that it is, and they have absolutely no hope for the future beyond this life.  If you greatly fear death and you can’t stand to lose the possessions that you have accumulated, the years ahead are going to be exceedingly difficult for you.

My relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ gives my life meaning and purpose.  He took the broken pieces of my life and turned them into a beautiful thing, and He can do the same for you.

It only took one year later for this prophetic video to come true.

Iran has discovered an unexpectedly high reserve of uranium and will soon begin extracting the radioactive element at a new mine, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization said on Saturday.

The comments cast doubt on previous assessments from some Western analysts who said the country had a low supply and sooner or later would need to import uranium, the raw material needed for its nuclear program.

Any indication Iran could become more self-sufficient will be closely watched by world powers, which reached a landmark deal with Tehran in July over its program. They had feared the nuclear activities were aimed at acquiring the capability to produce atomic weapons – something denied by Tehran.

“I cannot announce (the level of) Iran’s uranium mine reserves. The important thing is that before aerial prospecting for uranium ores we were not too optimistic, but the new discoveries have made us confident about our reserves,” Iranian nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.

Salehi said uranium exploration had covered almost two-thirds of Iran and would be complete in the next four years.

Uranium can be used for civilian power production and scientific purposes, but is also a key ingredient in nuclear weapons.

The July deal between Iran and world powers will lift international sanctions on Iran in exchange for at least a decade of curbs on the country’s nuclear activity.

Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri has called on young Muslim men in the United States and other Western countries to carry out lone wolf attacks and urged greater unity between militants.

“I call on all Muslims who can harm the countries of the crusader coalition not to hesitate,” he said in an audio recording posted online, referring to nations making up the Western-led coalition in Iraq and Syria, which include Australia.

“We must now focus on moving the war to the heart of the homes and cities of the crusader West and specifically America.”

From the DNC War Room:

So Congress (impotently) tries to uphold the Constitution and the “DNC War Room” wants me to elect Democrats? Can anyone explain why we pay taxes tribute to this “government”?

1. Harvard Professor Raoul Berger’s meticulously documented book, Government by Judiciary: The Transformation of the Fourteenth Amendment,proves by means of  thousands of quotes from the Congressional Debates, that the purpose of Sec. 1 of  the 14^th Amendment was to extend citizenship to freed slaves and to protect them from southern Black Codes which denied them basic God given Rights.

2. The “equal protection” clause within Sec. 1 of the 14th Amendment says:

No State shall “…deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

In Ch.10 of his book, [go to page 222 of this pdf ed],  Prof. Berger shows the true meaning of the “equal protection” clause:  The “equal protection” was limited to the rights enumerated in The Civil Rights Act of 1866.  Section 1 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 says:

“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America …
That all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States; and such citizens, of every race and color, without regard to any previous condition of slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall have the same right, in every State and Territory in the United States, to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, and give evidence, to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real and personal property, and to full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of person and property, as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like punishment, pains, and penalties, and to none other, any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, to the contrary notwithstanding.”

There’s an idea from Star Trek that I’ve always appreciated: “Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.”

What this means to me is that, whether out in space or here on Earth, there’s no set prescription for how to live our lives. We are all unique, and we should celebrate our differences.

Now, some folks may disagree. They may shake their heads in disapproval or discomfort at all of the beautiful diversity that makes this country great. But when I’m confronted with that kind of close-mindedness, I just look at the incredible progress we’ve made together. Decades of hard work and passion have brought us where I always knew we could go — to a place where love is love, and marriage equality is the law of the land.

My husband Brad and I are going to join the Democratic National Committee — and President Barack Obama! — in New York City later this month for its annual LGBT Gala, and I want you to come, too.

After the Supreme Court’s landmark marriage equality ruling in June, we have a lot to celebrate. And I don’t know about you, but I want to thank the President in person for his continued support of the LGBT community.

If you chip in $3 or whatever you can to the DNC right now, you’ll be automatically entered to win a free trip to NYC to join President Obama and me at the LGBT Gala.

I really hope to see you there!

The Bible is clear on the sin of homosexuality. We may be labeled as haters for believing in morality but the Lord knows the truth. So no, I will not donate any financial support for this evil government or sin.

At this time, the Sparks31 blog has been discontinued.

A mailing list has been created to continue discussions, and for book and newsletter announcements.  It’s here. If you are a subscriber you should subscribe as all future announcements will be posted there.

Any future technical content will appear in the Signal-3 Newsletter.

My latest two books are available here in PDF format for free download. If you like what you read in it, then subscribe to Signal-3 to get more up to date info. The next issue is coming out later this month, so there is still time to be able to get it. Otherwise, it comes out bi-monthy on every odd-numbered month.

There remain two classes that are open to the public.  The information is listed here. Anyone outside of Wyoming who wishes to schedule a class can do so at the standard rate of $2500. An initial non-refundable $1000 is required, with the balance due no later than 30 days before the class date. Do not even bother to email me unless you are ready to pay the initial deposit.

If you live in Wyoming, you only need to ask me for instructional help <sparks31@unseen.is>, and I will be more than happy to teach your group what you need to know. This service is free of charge, but if you feel compelled to reimburse me for the service, throw me a 1/10th ounce Gold Eagle, some 1 oz. Silver Rounds, ammo, (certain) livestock, or even a bottle of Wyoming Whiskey.

So where do I start? It really wasn’t one particular thing that led to this blog going dark. More like a whole bunch of things, aided by the introspection of a 1600 mile drive. Some of the more particularly annoying things were, in no particular order:
