Full Version: 20 Signs That A Horrific Global Food Crisis Is Coming
















Would have to agree for the most part.
It does look bleak. There will be a period when some people may starve; alot of people. There are also some positive things that have been devolped that may help get off the dependance of Oil for transportation. There is currently two new vehicles that have had models displayed;
1. operates on compressed air. It holds several tanks of compressed air. When one is depleted, it switches over to another tank. The motion of the car replenishes the empty tank. It isn't prepetual, but can go about 1000 miles.
2. Water powered car. Exhaust is water also.

There are so many people that aren't aware let alone prepared. During the last Congressional possible government shut down, I got a call from my Daughter because they may not get a paycheck ( Husband in Air Force). She said she only buys food for 3 or 4 days at a time, "need money". She was one of the family members that thought I was crazy stocking food. Maybe she's a little more awake now! I hope so.
This isn't going to help either. Just hit the news. Guess rev Williams was correct. Saudis annouces cutting oil output.
We were talking about this the other day. The price of diesel fuel around here right ow is $3.99 a gallon. and I am sure that the farmers are really paying a ton for their tractors to be run in the fields. It will all start proving itself this fall when we see the prices at the stores.

Right now is the best time to be buying stuff up. I personally have been buying up loads of canned goods. Its been on sale the past week 2 cans for 79 cents. I figured I had better buy, buy, buy. While it's cheap.

Lately, I don't buy things unless if its on sale or if I have a coupon for it. But with the pries going up for food lately. I try and buy it on sale and use a coupon at the same time. Coffee this past week was on sale for $7.99. Last month it was $5.99. So I bought one and used a $2 off coupon so I paid what I would have last month.

When I see the coffee going up $2 a can its a bit much. But everything is going up. In fact I saw the cheap water for $1.59 a gallon on sale. Where you normally pay $1.19 a gallon. We will continue to see the prices going up. I am sure of that.

2015|GeoEngineering - Goverments have confirmed they are spraying the skies to test different methods of weather conditions, which now seem to be killing the surface land - sea - and air. Is California part of the global food and water shortage agenda by weather manipulation? For decades the government has been seeding skies to make snow and they can make rain if they want too.

The Keiser Report that Food Riots are A Mathematical Certainty "Even though prices went down prices have shot up again. That's pushed us above the level of our threshold or in the range in which we begin to be worried about social unrest, food riots and revolutions. Based on our mathematical model prices are going to continue to increase. A lot of it is due to commodity speculation. That is going to put us even higher than the previous two peaks. This isn't going to take much time, a few weeks or a few months. Then on the response side how do countries buffer their citizens, the poor from stresses in food systems. There are big policy options, but also country-based options in terms of interventions to protect its populace"

Where is the Food? The tinfoil crew could have diminished the supply of MH. Not a huge company.
Not sure who the government ordered from. Mountain House is not an MRE.
Now, planting an organic garden is an act of defiance. It is time for some outdated, unconstitutional laws to be scrapped. Informally sharing seed with a neighbor who gardens down the street is illegal in multiple states in the US. The penalty for violating this ridiculous law is a fine of up to $7,500 a day. Like so many other senseless laws, this rule needs to be put to rest.

You can’t even give away seeds to someone in your own neighborhood under certain laws. For example, in Minnesota, where seed laws on the books are so laughable that unless you buy an annual permit and submit each lot of seeds for germination testing, you are defying the law. You even have to attach an appropriate label, even if you aren’t sharing the seeds with a local seed sharing library and just want to give them to your daughter-in-law for her new garden.

Even the 300 seed libraries throughout the US can’t give away seeds or facilitate the exchange of seeds between organic gardeners unless they purchase a permit.
