Greetings and welcome to the Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #281. Thanks for stopping by for this week's edition of the PENL. We experienced a teaser this week in East TN with autumn like weather. Nice cool mornings and mild afternoons all through the week. It appears we are headed for another week of heat next week. I don't want to rush life but I'm about ready for autumn.
How's your garden efforts coming along at this point? It has been such a hot dry summer in many areas, and I've heard and continue hearing stories of failed garden efforts or specific veggies not growing. Once again, we have experienced squash and zucchini plants not growing. The plant grows fine and flowers but that is the extent of it. We planted 12 tomato plants and so far, we've picked four tomatoes. Another odd experience has been birds plucking our beet seeds out of the soil each time after three plantings. Our blueberry crop was half its normal size this year. It wasn't a productive year. Thank goodness we have stocked resources and reserves in the event we do have a bad year. How about you?
Did anyone else find it odd that the President of the United States stood on the platform at the Democratic National Convention this week and said, "we need to get rid of guns in America because they are killing our children." Yet, a few hundred feet away mobile vans parked outside the DNC offering free abortions, Murder on demand. It was a in your face Supreme Court, Conservatives and Christians. The same party wants and currently allows open borders for our new guest to enter the country. They tell us the numbers are down and the flow has slowed down. Lie. They are picking them up in South and Central America and flying them into the United States to conceal the number. Meanwhile, the DNC convention is like Fort Knox with erected fences all the way around the event. Just as an illegal entering the country can get free lodging and money, they are forbidden through the fences to attend the DNC. How about that. Monkey see but monkey can't do. Speaking of monkeys, the radicals jumped, cheered, and promised reeducation camps for conservatives while a 90-foot statue of a monkey was erected in Houston, Texas. These are interesting times we live as we pass through the book of life.
One of our Patriot sisters from north Alabama put this list together and I wanted to share it with you to print or write down for your own medical preparedness training and goals. Thanks much for her efforts and time. Good stuff.
Let us move along.
HFS New Affiliation with Aftershock Freeze Dried Foods - Do you still need to get prepared? Need long term food stock? Here you go. I have personally taste tested several of the freeze-dried products. GMO free and a choice between regular or Gluten free, I'm totally impressed with the quality and price of their products. Many of the other providers of dehydrated and freeze-dried foods left my fingers tingling and feeling a tad swollen. This was because of the sodium content. Not the case with Aftershock freeze-dried foods. Another great feature of Aftershock Preparedness meals is for a low price you get larger serving sizes in each bagged meal. For example, the Taco Rice Skillet was a serving size for five. The freeze-dried white chicken is a serving size for three, The Cajun Pasta Laya is a single serving. The prices are adjusted according to the serving size. They are 25- and 30-year shelf-life products depending on the product of choice. As an affiliate, if you use the following link, HFS will receive a small percentage of the purchase price which is great. The customer is getting a high-quality product and HFS receives a small payment to help financially support the HFS mission. It's a win all the way around. You can buy single packed meals, fruit, dairy, meat and vegetables, or you can buy the larger buckets with single packaged items in the bucket for easy storage. Use this link to get started.

We must make this brief public announcement to protect the innocent.
Ding, Ding, Ding....Attention HFS readers..... Opinions shared in this newsletter are just that, opinions, and nothing more. Read at your own risk. The owner and author of this site is not responsible for hurt feelings or thin-skinned readers. I do my best to show restraint and respect to the best extent possible. I take as many precautions as possible and try to remain as nonpolitical as possible, however, there are times when I just can't help but point certain things out. Occasionally I use words only Patriots recognize and understand. It's not personal against any non-Patriot. It's just the truth. Sometimes we must pull up our spenders and suck it up. Just saying. Stay the course, read what you want, and avoid the rest. Avoid fear porn as much as possible and the day will be okay. When all else fails… Keep the faith and always have Hope.
Thoughts for the week - HFS has been writing and speaking about the psychological side to what is happening in our nation and the world. If you don't understand it, you are missing the biggest part of the transition to the new world.
This is a must listen. Dr Malone is one of the worlds most documented professionals who the government set out to destroy during Covid because he went against the narrative. In this video he talks about everything HFS has been saying the past five years. This is well worth your time.
Preparedness - Food Production and dehydrating my own eggs.
Very good information and concepts.
Three Sisters of gardening concept. I had never heard of this before. Interesting.
Dehydrating eggs.- I have been doing an updated inventory of our dehydrated and freeze dried foods this week and decided to do a price check comparison of what we paid for our resources ten years ago compared to the prices today. Wow. The price of No 10 cans of scrambled and whole eggs has gone up over $50 per can. I would like to add more eggs to our reserves and started looking in to doing my own. Here is a video to show the steps needed to do them.

Prayers - Please keep our great nation, our elected leaders, military and first responders in your thoughts and prayers. We pray for good health and wisdom. Please pray for our leadership to find answers and guidance to the problems facing our great nation. May your faith remain strong and answers to the unknown provided. God is good and may our prayers blanket and protect you and your circumstances. I pray for each, and every one of our Patriots.
Our HFS family has many prayers needs for health and moral. We love you all and continue praying for each of you.
We pray for our Patriot brother in East TN awaiting confirmation on a recent diagnosis. We pray for uplifting news and long-term health. UPDATE: The blood test results from the Mayo was received and confirmed the original diagnosis of Dementia at age 43. Please continue prayers to this individual and his family.
We pray for our Patriot sister in northern GA who has dementia. We pray for her health and care in this long battle. We pray for her husband as well.
We pray for our Patriot brother in Northern Alabama and for positive results in his long-awaited surgery upcoming in August. UPDATE: God is good. Our brother had the appointment and now has a series of test he must pass before surgery can occur. Please continue prayer in this area.
We pray for our Patriot sister in Western, NC who continues to battle with her heart and breathing conditions.
We pray for our Patriot brother in Central, KY for a quick and complete recovery from a second leg surgery. UPDATE: We visited with our brother, and he was walking without assistance. He still has some pain as the result of the latest surgery impacting his knee.
We pray for our Patriot sister as she continues to suffer from brain issues. The Lord knows the specifics to this condition.
We pray for our Patriot sister on the Cumberland Plateau in her ongoing battle for a positive prognosis and treatment.
We pray for these individuals and their families.
May we pray for all the blessings and things in life to be thankful about and continued hope for revival around the world. We must continually pray for the unsaved, our family and friends who live each day without the protection for eternal life and salvation.
As Patriots we must stay strong and never give up. Our home, community, and nation need us now more than ever. Stay focused on your local community and things that will impact you around the nation. Don't allow the events around you to create fear in your life. Build your own self-reliance and focus on faith and hope. Remember we are a blessed nation, and we must continue to be great people today and make a better tomorrow. Keep charging.
Blessings,
Bravo Echo Out,
