Greetings and welcome to the Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #283. Thanks for stopping by for this week's edition of the PENL. Hope you had a blessed week here on God's creation. Even through all the ongoing changes we are witnessing, we still must realize on this day we are very blessed and fortunate people when one looks around the world. Sometimes we have to stop and take a deep breath to appreciate all the good things around us. Sometimes the negative bad things are human factors that we can control by making better choices and changes.
I don't know about your location but here in East TN near the Smokey Mountains we are having autumn type mornings in the low 50s. I mowed a yard full of leaves yesterday that has fallen the past few weeks. I'm seeing trees that typically hold their leaves until late September about 80% free of leaves already. Things are pretty burned up from a lack of rain all summer.
We've commented on crop and garden failures the past few weeks and I'm still getting more emails from folks sharing the news of their own issues and failures with this year's garden. Plants growing but not yielding anything beyond flowering. This is an example of a why it is so important to prepare an assortment of food resources. We need a mindset of "two years" preparation. If you plan to survive using your garden production as part of your resources and you get no yield, what is your backup.
Planning and preparing comes to down to this one simple fact. It is on you.
Let us move along.

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 -
If you get mad or upset watching this video, maybe you should immediately contact your elected officials and demand accountability at the border. No more excuses. We all must ask ourselves (I already have, did, and continue) why is our federal and state government officials openly promoting and allowing the invasion of our nation? Oh wait, it's not only America. It's happening in our nations with a majority Caucasian population. I have discussed my feelings on this point in previous videos and newsletters.

Preparedness - The importance of water and the reality of the threat daily
FEMA says, "be prepared" and have a plan, do you? Threats come in many sizes and shapes, both from within and outside sources. America's water infrastructure is old and failing quickly. Just like with food, if you don't understand the need for self-assurance, you are depending on and assuming someone else is taking care of your essential need. When you drink water from a glass do you close your eyes? If you don't understand what is happening to our water through a treatment system, you may want to close your eyes, so you don't see the floaties in your water, We assume all is good each time we turn on our faucet. We also assume because we have a water filtration system on our home water, we are good to go, Blind trust will bite us in the behind,
Quiz - How many of you load a case of bottled water in your rear compartment or trunk and haul it around all summer until its used up? Do you realize what the heat is doing to your bottled water while you wait to drink it? Great thinking, but the next step is understanding why your water could become an issue.
This is a must watch regarding water sanitation and purification. Excellent. Remember, water is the most important resource, and it will make you extremely ill to the point of killing you if you don't have appropriate care and medication to treat your water borne illness.
Weather Changes equals impacts on food production. It is getting worse and the production vs global needs for human and animal consumption is getting worse. What is your plan?
Only if you dare. Enter at your own risk: We can continue being a sheep or stand up and become a sheepdog. Only you can decide for yourself. If you claim to be or want to be a sheepdog you need to listen to this video through the end.
