Home Made Apple Jack
Applejack is a drink once popular in the
colonial times. It is mentioned throughout
historical literature in connection with American heroes such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. The drink is a strong alcoholic beverage derived from fermented apple juice or cider. The water is driven out of the cider leaving a highly alcoholic beverage behind.
The good thing about Applejack is that you can make it with normal household
equipment. No stills, open flames, or specialized brewing equipment is necessary

The good thing about Applejack is that you can make it with normal household
equipment. No stills, open flames, or specialized brewing equipment is necessary
Things You'll Need
A fermentation vessel (i.e. a plastic bucket w/lid , glass carboy,
plastic water bottles or whatever)
A mesh kitchen colander
A FERMENTATION LOCK (A device that allows air to escape when
fermenting, but does not allow bacteria to enter. Can be purchased at a
homebrew supply shop for about $1.)
A funnel
A couple empty milk jugs or similar containers
A freezer
1 gallon water
1 gallon apple
juice
4 pounds of brown
sugar
1-2 packs of wine
or champagne yeast
Boil 1 gallon of water. Turn off heat and dissolve the brown sugar in the water. Allow the sugar and water mixture to cool to about 80 degrees
2
Combine apple juice and sugar water mixture in a clean
fermentation vessel of your choice. Add yeast and attach fermentation lock.
3
Wait for a few
weeks or until fermentation is complete. If using a fermentation lock, watch
for the bubbling to slow down to 1 bubble per minute or so.
4
Put the fermented
cider into a container or containers of your choice.
Place the cider in the freezer and leave it alone for a few days.
Place the cider in the freezer and leave it alone for a few days.

Once the cider
turns to slush, using the mesh colander, start draining the apple beverage from the ice. The white slush should be
removed.

Using the funnel/
colander combination carefully collect the runnings into a milk jug or similar
vessel.

Repeat steps 4,
5, and 6 until it no longer freezes.
Some cider or apple juice contains chemical preservatives. Read the label and do not use this type of juice.

Lease Solar Power
Despite government energy credits, solar is still rather
expensive. Lease terms vary widely so it
pays to investigate before committing and bear in mind, you don’t want to shell
out $25,000 and up to buy or install equipment.
Most leases last at least 15 years and have substantial penalties for
early termination. Make sure the firm
pays for the maintenance and repair expenses.

Road Testing a National Internal Passport System
The Transportation
Security Administration's (TSA) now has a covert and systematic expansion into
covering "all forms of ground transportation... complete with traveler
checkpoints and individualized tracking of cars, trains, telephones, and
computers."
This means the
imposition of airport-style "security" screenings upon travelers
opting for various forms of ground transportation. What future generations of
Americans will be conditioned to expect as "normal" should be seen by
more of us for the historic milestone that it really is: The birth of a
Soviet-style internal passport system where individuals could someday be
blocked from travelling if they don't have official permission.
Forbes reported in March 2011 that documents obtained
through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests show the Department of
Homeland Security, under whose jurisdiction the TSA falls, has been testing
pilot programs to "deploy mobile scanning units that can be set up at
public events and in train stations along with mobile x-ray vans capable of
scanning pedestrians on city streets."
The Parting Thought-Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha ya gonna do when they come for you?
The militarization of US police forces is ongoing and escalating. Many
cities and towns now own tanks, armed personnel carriers, even attack
helicopters, and almost all are outfitted with military weapons not available
to the general public.
And, they are not just arming cops and weekend warriors for domestic
purposes. Active duty Marines are now being trained for law enforcement
operations all over the world (of which the US remains a part) specifically
to deal with civil uprisings, and the US government knows that civil
uprisings are coming to a town near you just as soon as the fantasy of a
healing economy is shattered, the US dollar fails, and unemployment goes to
30%+ in real numbers.
So what will you do when they come for you after declaring all citizens
must give up their weapons for ‘the public good.” There’s no way you can fight
against this with a hunting rifle.
"...for the last two years, the President's Budget Submissions for
the Department of Defense have included purchases of a significant amount of
combat equipment, including armored vehicles, helicopters and even artillery,
under an obscure section of the FY2008 National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) for the purposes of "homeland defense missions, domestic emergency
responses, and providing military support to civil authorities." Items
purchased under the section include combat vehicles, tanks, helicopters,
artillery, mortar systems, missiles, small arms and communications equipment.
Justifications for the budget items indicate that many of the purchases are
part of routine resupply and maintenance, yet in each case the procurement is
cited as being "necessary for use by the active and reserve components of
the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency
responses, and providing military support to civil authorities" under
section 1815 of the FY 2008 NDAA." (Emphasis supplied.)
