The many uses for Alum Powder-AKA: Styptic
Alum powder, often found in spices department of grocery stores, is often used for pickling, as additive to preserve crispness for cucumbers and other foods. It is also one of several components in baking powder. Furthermore, it has many uses, popularly endorsed being a do-it-yourself home remedy and treatment for canker sores. Alum is readily available in many, sold in powder or crystalline stone in sachets found in groceries, pharmacies and online stores. Ingest it directly, the taste will be sweet and then cause the mouth to pucker. Most of us have eaten it or in contact with it, in one way or another.

The process of water purification using alum powder is very simple and
you can do it on your own. Start by assembling all the things you will need
before you start the purification process. These include a clean container, the
contaminated water and a reaction vessel. Put the contaminated in the reaction
vessel and then stir continuously. Next, add at least 1.4 ounces of alum powder
in the reaction vessel and stir continuously for five minutes. After sometime
you will start to notice some sediments as the phosphorus particles are
removed.
Many
weed-n-feed fertilizers carry the same ingredients as Agent Orange and can
cause headaches and illness for months.
Use this non-toxic option: Spray your lawn with a mix of 2 Tbs. of Epsom
salts per gallon of water, then water as usual.

Make Your Own Smoke Bomb for the 4th of July
The smoke bomb you would purchase from a fireworks store usually is
made from potassium chlorate (KClO3 - oxidizer), sugar (sucrose or
dextrin - fuel), sodium bicarbonate (otherwise known as baking soda - to
moderate the rate of the reaction and keep it from getting too hot), and a
powdered organic dye (for colored smoke). When a commercial smoke bomb is burned,
the reaction makes white smoke and the heat evaporates the organic dye.
Commercial smoke bombs have small holes through which the smoke and dye are
ejected, to create a jet of finely dispersed particles. Crafting this type of
smoke bomb is beyond most of us, but you can make an effective smoke bomb quite
easily. There are even colorants you can add if you want to make colored smoke.
Let's start out with instructions for the easiest/safest type of smoke bomb you
can make:
Smoke Bomb Materials
>sugar (sucrose or table sugar)
>potassium nitrate, KNO3, also known as saltpeter (buy it
online or you can find
this at some garden supply stores in the fertilizer section, some pharmacies
carry it too)
>skillet or pan
>aluminum foil
Pour about 3 parts potassium nitrate to 2 parts sugar into the skillet
(5:3 ratio is also good). Measurements don't need to be exact, but you want
more KNO3 than sugar. For example, you can use 1-1/2 cups KNO3
and 1 cup sugar. If you use equal amounts of KNO3 and sugar, your
smoke bomb will be harder to light and will burn more slowly. As you approach
the 5:3 KNO3:sugar ratio, you get a smoke bomb that burns more
quickly.
Apply low heat to the pan. Stir the mixture with a spoon using long strokes. If you see the grains of sugar starting to melt along the edges where you are stirring, remove the pan from the heat and reduce the temperature before continuing.
Basically you are carmelizing sugar. The mixture will melt and become a caramel or chocolate color. Continue heating/stirring until the ingredients are liquefied. Remove from heat.

Our system often treats elderly American men like absolute trash. Just check out
what happened to one elderly veteran up in
Montana recently....
Warren C. Bodeker is an 89 year old World War II Army Airborne combat
veteran and war hero, living in Montana, who is being thrown off of his own
land and thrown out of his own house, by Montana Federal Bankruptcy Trustee,
Christy Brandon, with the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Montana. And
to make matters worse, Warren’s wife Lorna just died of cancer this past year,
and is buried there on their land, right next to the house. Warren had planned
to live there till he died and then be buried right next to his wife, there on
their property at 11 Freedom Lane, in the town of Plains, Montana, but now, not
only is he being forced off his land, he is being forced to exhume his
wife’s body and take her with him.
