The Survival Blog is the most popular Preparedness website on the Internet with more than 80 million unique visits since July 2005. "Since its launch in 2005, SurvivalBlog has been the Internet’s most popular daily blog on survival and preparedness topics."[1]

It was founded by Conservative Christian Libertarian New York Times best-selling Survivalist author James Wesley Rawles of the American Redoubt (Idaho-Montana area - "Somewhere West of the Rockies")

James Wesley, Rawles (“JWR”) is the most popular survivalist author (for both non-fiction and dystopian fiction) according to both the New York Times and Amazon.com and is a former U.S. Army Intelligence officer and technical writer. He is now a full-time novelist and part-time blogger and Survivalist retreat consultant. He founded SurvivalBlog in 2005, and now serves as Senior Editor. Day-to-day operation of the blog is handled by Hugh J. Latimer (“HJL”), their Managing Editor.

SurvivalBlog has created a very large virtual "patriot prepper" community of some of the most brilliant people in a wide variety of disciplines. Despite their differences, they all have an interest in preparedness and survivalism, which is of course naturally from a Conservative values - Traditional values - American values - Small town values - Family values perspective. There are very few liberals (particularly those of the Teacup Generation) interested in "being prepared" for any difficult times or circumstances. This is because most leftists erroneously hope they can rely on Big government-Welfare state-Nanny state (Obamunism: Income redistribution of ObamaCare-Social Security-FEMA) due their entitlement mentality indoctrination primarily from the Public school values - Professor values of the Public schools in the United States (Teachers' unions) and from the Hollywood values, San Francisco values and Fashion industry values propaganda machines of the Mainstream media and its liberal media elite.

Mr. Rawles is a Christian, and holds to Reformed doctrine / Reformed Churches denomination. His view of history is of the geographical determinist] school and his view of economics is of the fiscally conservative Austrian School of Economics. Politically, Mr. Rawles is a Constitutionalist Christian libertarian. All of these have shaped his views on preparedness and thus most of the news and articles on his 1,441 pages worth of in-depth articles[2] are from this perspective.

This has already happened to at least 75 U.S. web sites without Fourth Amendment due process of law (http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/130763-homeland-security-dept-seizes-domain-names-). Their DNS records were changed, essentially erasing them from the “phone books of the Internet.” Also see this article: U.S. Government Shuts Down 84,000 Web sites, ‘By Mistake’ (http://torrentfreak.com/u-s-government-shuts-down-84000-websites-by-mistake-110216/).
