In today’s show, we have Local Prepper on with us to talk about the birth of the military-industrial complex, how nukes changed the world, and if big tech is in the midst of its own Oppenheimer moment. The current discussion around artificial intelligence (A.I.) mirrors the one that took place around 80 years ago regarding nuclear weapons. The question at hand is whether this technology will benefit humanity or lead to our downfall. During this era, McCarthyism and the early stages of the military-industrial complex emerged, both of which have significantly impacted the fundamental nature of the United States and how the government views its role here and on the world stage.

In this group, we bring together preppers and survivalists to share our knowledge and skills so that we can become more self-reliant and better prepared for emergencies. Finding the balance between preparing for disasters and living a fulfilling, joyful life is a crucial aspect of being a prepper, so we might as well have a little fun while we’re doing it. When you join the Survivalist Prepper community, you’ll get access to the following: * Preparedness Education: Whether a novice embarking on your prepping journey or a seasoned veteran with years of experience, learning something new can be challenging. From just starting your food storage plan to more advanced prepping topics, you’re bound to find answers here. * Prepper Networking Events: I do quite a bit on YouTube, Rumble, and the podcast, but there is some content I reserve for true fans and supporters. In this group, we do live events, collaborations, tutorials, and even giveaways now and then. * Emergency Preparedness Courses: This group is an extension of the Bug Out Location membership website, which has preparedness courses and training for all levels of preparedness. This group will be the hub for everything new and upcoming at the BOL.  * A Community of Preppers: The most exciting part about this community is the ability to network with like-minded preppers individually or as a group. You can post a question for the group, private message people individually, and get feedback on any projects you are working on. JOIN TODAY! 7 DAY FREE TRIAL
