Folks around Zanesville, Ohio, had to worry about over 50 dangerous animals roaming around (including lions, tigers and bears) until the authorities shot and killed all of them. Most of us are not thinking about lions wandering in our neighborhood.
I practice situational awareness and I almost always conceal carry my pistol when I go out. I live in town so I am more concerned with looking out for “bad guys” that I might need to defend myself and my children against. This story just gives me more reasons to continue to be vigilant but to include also include looking out for any dangerous animals – including aggressive (or rabid) dogs on the loose and local wild and [potentially] dangerous animals such as coyotes and foxes.
While trees aren’t usually considered dangerous to humans, I recently learned the importance of looking up when outside. We found that a large branch in a tree in our backyard was dangling over an area where our kids place frequently. It could have really hurt our children had it fallen on them. Thankfully, hubby was able to bring it down safely.
Situational awareness is a habit that is so important to develop. Get into the habit and teach your children while you are at it! Make it a game with the kids. Teach them to be still and observe their surrounding.
I highly encourage you to listen to the following podcasts on situational awareness, especially those of you who are not in the habit of practicing situational awareness.
That was a crazy story! The owner was crazier still. I often see coyotes out on my morning walks/runs but I am not so sure what I would do if I came across a Bengal Tiger. I carry as well…but you have to wonder how many shots from a 9mm would take downn a lion or tiger? Not to mention the fact that you would be totally caught off guard. We even have black bear wander down into our area from time to time. It’s quite rare, but it has happened. That you can accept, black bear are native to my state, it’s in your realm of belief. But a lion? Those roam the plains of Africa. How long would it take your mind to register that…”one of theses critters is not like the other…” and what in G-d’s name is it doing here?
Having spent 40+ Yrs. as a Missionary, (14 of them on foreign fields), I have a well honed habit of CONTINUAL “O.O.T.A. LOOP”ing: [Observe, Orient, Tactical, Action]. It’s literally saved my life several times, and the ONE TIME I didn’t utilize it, I was mugged in Capital Heights, Washington D.C.!?!
So, I WHOLE HEARTEDLY advise ANYone who HASN’T learned the methodology of “Situational Awareness” to listen to those two pod casts, and BEGIN immediately forming the habits necessary to keep yourself safe in a World that is slowly but insidiously coming unraveled. ONLY YOU can really make CERTAIN that YOU & YOURS ARE as safe as is humanly possible…Do NOT depend upon others!.
Hey Chris,
Just wanted to take a moment out of my life to thank you for all the life changing decisions/events that have occurred because of the information you've brought to the forefront when I discovered you, DTOM, & the SOL academy.
I shunned the psychopaths in my life, closed my facebook, took every hour of free time to see the academy and read A LOT (a first for me), learned that I have a deep innate thirst for knowledge and teaching, jumped head first on topics I would have NEVER taken an interest in if not for waking up (finance, economics, politics, psychology, to name a few), and view everything in a completely different, but forward thinking and more intricate way.
What you say is so true ... "once your eyes are open, you can never close them again" - EVER.
The magnitude of all the changes that I've made in my life because of the SOL academy are so huge that I can't even begin to put a word on it. It's like a golden seed of life, love & truth, planted in my mind that is making me realize what does matter, what is real, and what I want be at the end of the day to myself, loved ones, and the world.
Hope you're having a well-deserved and wonderful time with your family. A toast to you, the individuals in our group, and all the great and positive things to come despite such times.
Peace.
- Irving A.

I just finished the 10 modules of the Sons of Liberty Academy. I have never been so educated and aware, in such a short time.
I now have a game plan and see my role more clearly. It all makes sense.
It is very important to understand what is going on in our world and how to fight against it most effectively.
45 hours of video is a lot of information (I spend 3 weeks day and night, going through the course).
I would look for information on my own and it would take me a lot of time but to have it done and just to be able to build on that is great.
I do appreciate it to be free otherwise I would not be able to take it.
Thanks;
Raj

I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you. I've been studying the Academy, about to start module 5.
The information I've observed to this point has opened my mind to new ideas, and also reaffirmed some beliefs I've always had. I feel a tremendous sense of confidence now, the fear is subsiding, and I'm excited to complete the Academy and find the direction I can take with my future, as well as my friends and family.
As Bill Hicks said, the next revolution will be a revolution of ideas. I'm glad to be a part of this program.
Many thanks,
Michael

"Silver Shield,
The Sons of Liberty Academy is really fantastic! I highly recommend the Academy and the hard work and dedication to the truth that Silver Shield has put forth for defenders of Freedom and Liberty.
The betrayal of the Tea Party loyalist is becoming evident. A rebellion is brewing day by day, and the Power Elite have every right to be very worried.
Awaken People don't be fooled again! Join the Academy.."

My only regret is that I did not have this knowledge 20 years ago. The Sons of Liberty Academy is truly life changing.
If anyone is on the fence about joining the Academy, I will tell them they are doing themselves, their family and the country a injustice by not taking it.
Don’t let the money stand in the way, the course is invaluable and will pay for it self many times over with the finance info within the course.
I have two masters degrees and the Sons of Liberty Academy has been of greater benefit than all the “formal” education I have received.
Thanks Chris! You are a true Patriot and hero! -Randy H.

"I am very excited about what I've learned so far! I have 3 more modules to complete. I've gone through a few of them twice, especially when there is history discussed. I find that very interesting. I am going to run through the entire Academy again, and review all the additional materials linked below the videos. There is so, so much information. Thank you for your hard work putting this together.
I am spreading the word."

"I have just finished watching Module Six and continue to be amazed at the deception perpetrated on the American people.
I applaud your work and thank you sincerely for these eye-opening truths you have laid out.
I never had an interest in politics or our monetary system because it seemed too confusing, however, the simple way it is taught in the Academy has far surpassed any education I have received in my 35 years on this earth."

"In just a few short months, I've gone from being a skeptic to being a believer.
I'm a born-again Christian, a veteran, and a patriot, but I'm also a realist.
I now prep and am protecting my assets.
DTOM has played a big part in my new education.
Heck, I love the T-shirts, too!
Thanks for doing a great job. Now I Get It!!!!"

Thank you for giving me the wisdom of awareness.
I have been sharing it with others, but there are so many more to reach. I am not afraid of the changes we will soon see, but confident that I am prepared to handle them. We are building a strong group here in my area and have shared your website with several key people of influence here.
Thank God I found you and took the time to go through the Academy. At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, my life will never be the same, and for that I am very grateful.
