I for one AVOID anything to do with people like alex jones or others who are pushing any sort of an agenda/s. I have met mr. jones & found him to be a hate filled little man with a very large “little man” syndrome. He finds issue with everything that does not have his name connected with it. I also have the same type of issue with mr. eib him self...rush..
There are a lot of very worth while books out there that are filled with very useful info without the political preaching. I have in my personal reference library, military operations manuals, books on blacksmithing, air gunning, fishing tips, hunting tips, gardening info, electrical building manuals,medical treatment books ect....[Due to all my head injuries, I have forgotten a lot of information, so I keep a large library at my fingertips, to fall back on when I need them.]
But this is just my personal position on such people.
There’s a book I found called “The Knowledge” that looks very useful. It doesn’t have many blueprints, but it gives enough understanding of the basics of how things work, that it could take a small group of people from the stone age to the mid-1940s level of technology, within a single generation.
I found it fascinating enough to read for fun.
Unfortunately, I share your opinion of “Mr. EIB.” He has really disappointed me of late.
I’m sorry to hear that Mr. Jones is as you describe. I only listen to him occasionally. Lately, he has gained some credibility with me. While he does have a very high energy presentation, of which a little goes a long way, nonetheless he does at times have good guests on. He even interviewed Donald Trump recently, which is why I decided to listen to some of the other shows lately. I have not met him, so cannot judge as you did whether he is hate-filled or not. So far, what I’ve heard, he does not seem to be. To each his own. I will certainly keep your assessment of him in mind.
Skousen is quite interesting. We purchased his book, “Strategic Relocation,” some time ago, and it is very well done. Perhaps it can be obtained elsewhere. It is still a very outstanding resource book IMHO, Alex Jones notwithstanding. Skousen’s book is his own, and does NOT contain an agenda and “preaching.” He gives pure data on how states stack up on such things as water resources, population densities, firearm laws, and geographical kinds of consideration.
Cresson Kearny, as far as I know, has no direct association with Alex Jones. As far as I can tell, he has no agenda other than to help people survive a nuclear event. We first obtained this book in the mid-90’s. His work can be found many places, but I listed the Amazon entry in my post.
I’m glad you have a good library. I wasn’t suggesting that yours was insufficient. I was simply responding to your post, and providing some sources for people to consider according to the topic you introduced of relocation and disaster prep which we have found useful.
BTW - FWIW - I don’t have an agenda either, other than to be helpful.
