Active Self Protection "Attitude. Skills. Plan." https://activeselfprotection.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsE_m2z1NrvF2ImeNWh84mw This YouTube channel has been one of the most instructive I've seen (FDR excepted!). Short 5 minute videos show footage from real life situations and instructs you on how to defend yourself in those situations. Includes robberies, carjackings, home invasions, gun attacks, knife attacks, surprise attacks, etc. I highly recommend spending some time watching ASP's material. With the increase in violence from the Left, it's important to be able to identify situations before they happen, and if they happen be prepared to act. Here are some examples (actual footage of shootings, user descrection. . . )

Here's an idea: A smartphone application that allows users to stream audio and video to a server in the cloud. This could be used to protect citizen against unlawful police (or any other) force. Currently smartphones have the ability to record data, but these devices can be easily destroyed or confiscated. Applications such as Periscope and Meerkat enable users to broadcast live video streams, but, as far as I know, don't enable them to store the video for later reference. The idea application would allow for this storage and later reference. A use-case would be: A user is stopped by the police; the user starts the application and the phone's video camera begins observing the interaction; the data from the device is streamed over the Internet to an online server; when the stream is disconnected it is stored securely and indexed to the user's account for later retrieval. I'd be happy for any feedback on the idea, and if anyone is interested in working to bring it to fruition please let me know. I have the skills to work on creating such an application, but not the manpower to do it in any sort of realistic time frame.

So have any of you ever thought about what you would do if you survived the first days of panic in a zombie apocalypse? I have had fun thinking about it and at one point I came across a really deep question while watching The Walking Dead. Are you allowed to shoot someone on sight if everyone you have met so far has done it to you? I mean you can't know what is this particular persons plan, but you can pretty safely assume he is going to try to kill you like everyone else. Would you have the moral duty to take your chances, or are you allowed to kill him? It is easy to say that it is "either him or me", but you can't be sure about it. What if you have kids or a loved one with you? Does killing someone to protect your family from POTENTIAL danger make you a bad person? I know that many people would just shut these questions out during an outbreak but I want to really think about it. This fits to almost any disaster scenario where chaos breaks out. Are you allowed to do whatever it takes to survive in a life threatening situation? Who are the most valuable people? Are everyone equally valuable, so if your kids are in potential danger you are still not allowed to take aggressive action? I have always had a very strict NO to this question, but I want to hear your opinion as well! "In this life now, you kill or you die... Or you die and you kill." -Philip Blake Markus FIN

OK so let's say that you are sitting on a pot of oil and a company contracts with you to get your product out of the ground and to market, and you both agree upon the DRO to use and things are working out just fine. Then some other country comes in with their armed forces and take the property for themselves. What happens? How could this be prevented in a free society?
