Greetings and welcome to the Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #275. Thanks for stopping by for this week's edition of the PENL. Here we are at mid-July, and it seems the world is struggling to flip itself right side up. What on earth is going on. Election, economy, heat, wars, and more. We are living through this chapter in the history of life. Where does it go and how does it end. A betting person may grab their bet off the table and walk away. Why? Because everyday changes and predicting tomorrow is impossible. The only thing that should be certain to us is the need to be prepared and only you know the answer to this point.
We have a president who is as unpredictable as the party he represents. It's no longer what is best for America. The world watches and our enemies lick their chops wondering if the longtime prediction of America's downfall from within is taking place today. Oh wait, it's not just America, just look at Europe and France to the future of America. The communist movement is in full motion destroying everything in their path. Folks, this is a global movement taking place. Remember back a few years ago when we felt alarmed to hear of teens eating Tide pods? As the old saying goes, "you haven't seen nothing yet." I would advise anyone reading this to prepare your personal insurance policy for being prepared. The list of surprises ahead is going to be staggering. Just don't forget the names Big Mike and HRC. Think of the period we are living through and who would represent the activist movement best. It's not about what you see, it's about what you don't see. Understand history, direction, money, power and desired outcome It's not about the fire burning the forest. It's about how well or not the forest floor has been primed and prepared for the desired outcome of the fire.
Ms. Lucy and I enjoyed a quick vacation over the July 4th holiday with family and friends in Western, NC at Lake Lure. Beautiful place and so peaceful. I don't think I need to state how hot and humid it was daily. It was the typical gathering of vacationers gathering for a vacation around a body of water. No vacation is complete without some preparedness chats and observation of the vacationers and locals. What did I see? Everyone observed was red, white, and blue. Just think Toby Keith and Hank Williams Jr types. Lots of t-shirts with I love America types of logos The golf-cart parade on July 4th was over 50 carts decorated with the Statue of Liberty and Lady Liberty decor. The fireworks show to close out July 4th celebrations was fantastic.
The last morning at the lake before returning home was the family rallying at a local breakfast place in a converted country home. Great food and yes, biscuits and gravy were put in front of me. Fantastic is the simplest way to put it. The place was packed out with a line waiting at the door for the next available table. The staff was overwhelmed. I noticed a well-dressed gentleman roughly mid 70s stood at the counter with his wife waiting on a table. It wasn't long before he stepped up and grabbed the coffee and walked table to table offering coffee to folkls needing a refill. When he wasn't filling coffee cups, he was stuffing clean utensils in paper sleeves for the next table to be set up for a new customer. A worker told me he was a regular who showed up each Sunday morning after church and offered his assistance without being prompted. Community. He could have complained about waiting so long for a table, but he offered his support instead. Community. The willingness of a community to help out as needed to fellow locals and businesses. The survival of America is going to be about how well bonded the community is.
HFS has been teaching and talking about the importance of community for several years. The Five Mile Radius to be specific. Surviving at the local level is the sustainable piece we all must have today and in the long run. Look around over the past few years during the Covid-19 era and think about the number of small family-owned establishments that are boarded up now. Those who survived are living on life support today. The cost of rent, resources, and labor is back breaking. If dependable labor can be found, in many cases they can't count back change to customers and offer poor customer service. This is the new America.
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 -
Next .... Prepping and America
For most of my close friends who I spend 95% of my available time with, preparing is like brushing your teeth or eating daily. It is essential and instilled in a way of life without fail. It is our personal life insurance policy to the world we live today. It's not about being anti-American or anti-government. It is a set of steps to be self-reliant and depend on one's own preparations and community. When a disaster strikes, who will get to you first? Who can help you first? Watching my family starve is not an option. Hearing gangs and bandits raid my community during a crisis is not an option. Your local Sheriff and law enforcement will be taxed to the max with higher priorities, and it will leave you on your own. I have witnessed it countless times in foreign lands and during natural disasters here in America. What say you?
Need more convincing? If you say you haven't heard this before, you are grossly disconnected from reality. We are being invaded on every corner and our government is asleep at the wheel.
Let us move along.

Other News -
1.From Jim Quin - The Burning Platform - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS – The Burning Platform - How true this is. I've been pretty much ignoring the national scene for the most part since 2016 because I have focused more on community and preparedness at the local level, outside of helping others get prepared. Nothing else matters because you aren't going to change the magnitude and layers of lies deceit and corruption going on. What's that saying about laying with pigs? (Thanks Festus, for this submission)

Your choice. (Thanks Festus, for this submission.)

5.

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.
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,
