Kurt Saxon is a survivalist crank and a bit of a loser who is among the most prolific writers on the subject, and claims to have come up with the word. He is kind of insane, and also a bit of a racist.

[edit] History as a loser

Saxon was born "Donald Eugene Sisco" on 6 March 1932, and has managed to be in enough crank organizations to fill every sanitarium in the US, including the American Nazi Party, the early Minutemen, the Scientologist, Satanist and John Birch Society Cults. He managed to keep his head on straight long enough to (and you cannot make this up) testify before Congress in 1970, proving once and for all that the 60's were a terrible time in the world.

[edit] Congressional Testimony

To demonstrate his sheer insanity, Saxon has a copy of the transcript of his Congressional Testimony on his website, because apparently an insane 80 year old can operate a computer better than my 45 year old mother. In his testimony he advocated for the use of bombs by police and citizens to kill leftists and machine guns to be used on college protesters. No, really. This also proves completely that everything the government did under Tricky Dick was insanely evil.

[edit] Activities as a loser

Most of what Saxon did in his early years as a raging looney was to reprint out of date magazines and public domain books (such as military instructional manuals and antiquated reference books with lapsed copyrights) into books about home projects in chemistry, electricity and similar activities, imaginatively titled "Granddad's Wonderful World of Chemistry". He has been writing about the imminent end of civilization (here after referred to, in his words "disneyland for dummies") since the early 70s. As of March 2012 there is no more evidence for the end of civilization then when he first predicted it 40 years ago, or any other point in the last 4,000 years plenty of evidence for the imminent collapse of civilization Disneyland for Dummies. To vent his insanity he also wrote a few books on improvised weaponry, and ran a magazine called The Survivor. It ended shortly thereafter. When the Militia movement was going full steaming pile of crap in the early 90s he started another short lived magazine called U.S. Militia

He has also written a dozen books, mostly about survivalism and paramilitary crap including improvised weapons and poison making, but also less insane things, like how to slash food budgets.

[edit] Insane views

His social views amount to saying that civilization Disneyland for Dummies is evil because it dares to allow the not physically strong and/or healthy to survive, and when civilization Disneyland for Dummies finally gets around to collapsing (for various reasons that never make sense) only those with practical knowledge will survive.

He's also a bit of a racist, and has some naughty things to say about Islam including (oh, irony) that it has a violent agenda.

He is also an atheist and pro-abortion, because a stopped clock is right twice a day.
