Excerpt -
If you have not stockpiled at least two years of supplies, just stop what you are doing and get on it. Plant a garden if possible. Get chickens. Learn to fish. Notice I have never sold any of the supplies, and rarely even mention models of pro ducts other than a few like Katadyn water filters, or Berkey, but I make no money from that and have no relationships any companies. People often say that I should set up an online store. But that would undermine the message. If I tell you to stock up and then provide a link, the message is undermined. Most folks smart enough to read my pages have been preparing for a long time. Comparing notes with each other. Searching for holes in their strategies. Some folks even make dry runs by turning off their water and electricity for varying periods in order to find more weaknesses in their plans. Self defense is vital. We’ve seen 911 is a joke. We are our keeper. A grandmother with a little training can throw some serious self defense downrange. Later this year we likely will see various governments within the Unites States starting with price controls and increased subsidies. Governments always do this when they are losing control. These policies will exacerbate situations. OGUS will push to make rationing electronic to gain even more control of every aspect of our existence. All the indicators are there. Stock up thick. The clock is ticking. Conditions are set: 2022 will become serious. 2023 will be a year of starvation in many countries. I do not even see a way out of this. Too much inertia and sabotage. Serious famine creates real pandemic, more war, and HOP — Human Osmotic Pressure — which leads to migrations. https://michaelyon.locals.com/post/2069821/am-jumping-out-the-overton-window-again |

Welcome to 2024: The Last Year of America?
The next eight months of your life should be devoted to preparing for a black swan event EMERALD ROBINSON MAR 16, 2024 I’ve had a nagging fear for more than a few months, now, that most Americans have their election math totally wrong. You know these people. You love these people. We’re talking about your friends and family. The problem is not that they’re stupid or disengaged or indifferent. The problem is: they’re living in the old America. The brutal truth is that many people are still mentally living in that vanished country where the rule of law exists — where your vote actually counts — where the FBI doesn’t create a false flag operation on January 6th to stop investigations of election fraud in swing states — and where major cities don’t release violent criminals onto the streets without bail. They still don’t fully grasp the truth: they’re now actually residents of the Banana Republic of Biden. These people are fully convinced that the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump — which is true — and so they plan to remedy this disaster by voting once again for President Trump in 2024. Do you see the flaw in their plan? Sure, President Trump has the overwhelming support of the American people — but the Biden regime has everything else. They’ve got control of the CIA — and the FBI. They have the NSA. They have DHS too — and the Pentagon. They’ve got the legacy media — and most of the courts. The Democrats have kept an iron grip on the federal bureaucracy since before I was born — and the NGOs for most of my life. They’ve got Hollywood. They’ve got Big Tech. They’ve got the schools and the universities. Need I continue? Now you have to be really honest with yourself: which side controls the 2024 election? That's why America is headed for chaos. After all: if the voting machines are rigged, then how does it matter if your favorite candidate is leading in the polls right now?  This assessment brings me to the central question: what’s your Plan B after the November election? What is your back-up plan if you find yourself permanently exiled from the old America? The next eight months of your life should be devoted to buying yourself insurance for a black swan event — such as the end of the republic.
That’s not just my opinion by the way — it’s the sober assessment of quite a few security analysts and ex-military types who have appeared on my television show in the last few years. Meanwhile, when your elected representatives in Congress (like Anna Paulina Luna) publicly admit on social media that America's secret police now consider ordinary GOP voters to be “violent extremists” and “terrorists” then it’s time to ask yourself: do you still think you're voting the Biden regime out of power in November? That’s why it’s time to stop listening to any conservative media figure who tells you the Biden regime is “stupid” or “incompetent.” That’s just happy talk to conceal how the GOP has ceased to exist as a political party in the last few years, and merged with the Democrats.  If I’m being really honest, it looks to me like the Biden regime is conducting a communist takeover of America — and it's doing just fine. After all, we are entering the fourth year of this coup. Once the election was stolen in 2020, and the national security institutions that are responsible for preventing such a catastrophe actually ignored the events and protected the perpetrators, I began to have my doubts that the CIA and the FBI and DHS and DoD — and about 10 million of their contractors and agents and assets — were still, you know, on the side of the American people. And if that’s true, then the next eight months should be spent getting prepared. So, yes, I want you to vote in November — and, yes, I want you to prepare for the communist takeover of America when your vote won’t matter anymore. That might seem contradictory or incoherent but it’s basic strategy: you plan to win the battle, but you also plan for an orderly retreat so that you can survive to fight another day. No, I’m not being gloomy or hopeless. I’m not telling you to quit. I’m not encouraging you to stop voting. I’m telling you to get prepared. What does that really mean? It means you should get a satellite phone. You should buy more guns and ammo. You should stockpile medicine and water and food. Hold cash. Hold gold and silver. Have an emergency plan with your friends and family. It’s time to get serious. Remember: the billionaire Facebook grifter Mark Zuckerberg just built a huge underground bomb shelter in Hawaii for no apparent reason. That should tell you everything you need to know. You do realize that you’re in the middle of a global conspiracy to end the democratic West, right? You’ve heard about The Great Reset haven’t you? You don't want to believe it's true — of course. That's why you keep ignoring the obvious signs. That’s called: magical thinking. We’re already at the stage of the communist revolution in which 320,000 illegal aliens have been flown into the United States by the Biden regime to occupy your country and to eventually serve as soldiers and police who are loyal to the communists. We’re already at the stage when the agents of the Biden regime are openly admitting that they will not allow Trump to hold the office again if he's elected. They're telling you he should be denied classified briefings right now. They’re telling you that it’s time to dissolve the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and order American soldiers to disarm the people. They will not allow a peaceful transfer of power. I hope that I’m wrong — but what happens to you if I’m right? https://www.emerald.tv/p/welcome-to-2024-the-last-year-of |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Drakich: This is something I've been doing research on. Outside of the Northeast, where they produce about 1 calorie for every 10 calories consumed, the rest of the US is close to self-sufficient (or produces a surplus) in net calorie terms. The problem is, food processing is highly centralized and concentrated. For example, a lot of cows are grown in Texas for meat. But most of those cows are processed into beef in the mid-west. A lot of that beef, in turn, is shipped to the northeast to be further processed into various "manufactured" foods. So while we are resilient from a production perspective, we are vulnerable from a processing perspective. Additionally, agriculture is an industrial activity in the United States. Most farms and ranches aren't self-sufficient. Farmers buy seed, fertilizer, pesticides, fuel. They require mechanization to plant and harvest. The need electricity to irrigate (in some areas). Ranches depend on feed grown on farms and bought from mills. A significant regional supply disruption could create a cascade of events that make things a little more touch and go. A lot of people do not realize that Florida has a huge cattle industry also. States like Texas, Florida and other southern states could survive. We have food crops, energy production means like oil, and beef. Pig farming could be ramped up pretty quickly. Coastal Southern states have ports for shipping. What's the north have now. What does the north offer anymore. Nothing that we could not do without and replace. They are the one's who preach CW2 all the time simply because they do not want to lose power. The Democratic Socialist dictatorship are the ones chumming up the population for another CW2. Yet they want to disarm the people who'd fight for them. Import a terrorist army to fill the ranks of America's military. They have said for many years that America's constitution is outdated and give America's to many right. That it must be updated. Yeah updated to give them the government more power. I honestly believe that America is gone over the edge and is far to divided and war is the only thing left. It's going to happen. When is the only question. All one has has to do is look back in history before they erase it. Everything that started the last CW is happening all over again and only fools are burying their heads in the sand like ostriches. Especially when the Democratic Socialist dictatorship is openly warning about a CW2 if they lose. They will not cede power without a fight. They are stirring the pot of discontent and war right now. They are importing an Army of illegal criminals. If the Democratic Socialist dictatorship can not have America they will burn it down. Just look at who their POTUS nominee is. A senile old man with dementia. This is the best they have...,seriously. These criminal thugs in Washington only have power because we allow it. We far out number these tyrants who are openly destroying our nation. A small group of people. Americans as a whole rules this nation's not these...... |

Remember food and gas rationing during ww2 and gas rationing various years afterwards. I remember gas rationing in the 70s/80s long lines ect. You could only buy gas on certain days based on your license plate numbers I believe. I was in the Army at the time and it really did not effect bases gas stations. They ran as usual if I remember correctly.

That is not to say it couldn't all fall apart (perhaps due to economic upheaval) but if it did, it would be regional supply issues not widespread famine - at least at first. Yon greatly underestimates what level of "human osmotic pressure" is required to crush the USA. Perhaps so did the democrats, which would explain part of why they have purposely exacerbated the border crisis. Other countries are not so lucky as we are. They are experiencing food shortages NOW. The crisis can evolve and change form quickly, but don't underestimate the ability of powerful forces to kick the can to avoid (postpone, really) total collapse.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By exponentialpi: Talk of price controls is picking back up in MSM. Now it’s medical care. With inflation rebounding, it would not surprise me if they try it with groceries and fuel. If history is any guide, that's when the real food shortages will begin. And the black market will thrive. Suddenly all the unemployed will have a job if they want it. That job will be standing in line for food, then selling it at a mark up. Basically 22 Ammo neckbearding x1000.... but with food. If you haven't watched videos of the Ushanka Show on youtube it's worth it. About a guy who grew up in Russia and Ukraine under the Soviets. I think a lot of what he describes in his videos we will see.  SPEKULYANT. Pesky Profiteers of the Socialist Economy #ussr It's funny, it seems to be a recurring theme that often times you become the people you fight against for so long. You can see it in may cultures. |

everybody assumes i'm getting ready for the end of the world or somesuch what i'm really doing is bringing the store to my house. a whole lot of what's sitting on the shelf at the store can be moved into mylar with an oxygen absorber and last years and years. almost everything can with a freeze dryer. the end of the world might happen but rationing is exponentially more likely and as a collector of WWII era foodstuffs i'm well aware of what that means. even before the war times were still tough coming out of the depression, most men gained weight in the service. |

So I was just in NYC with my son. We did not see any Nat Guard in any of the stations we were in. I did see NYPD with rifles in the one under Madison Square. While we were there though there was an incident of some guy lighting 2 cans on fire and throwing them at a random person. No idea what was in the cans or what happened to the person that threw them, or the one that got hit. Also there was the fight on the subway where the perp was disarmed and shot in the head. I did not personally witness either of these, just saw them on the local news. Hell no, its not normal for the military to be patroling the street, airports or subways. People just dont even blink an eye though. really, really sad |

These people are fully convinced that the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump — which is true — and so they plan to remedy this disaster by voting once again for President Trump in 2024. Do you see the flaw in their plan? Sure, President Trump has the overwhelming support of the American people — but the Biden regime has everything else. They’ve got control of the CIA — and the FBI. They have the NSA. They have DHS too — and the Pentagon. They’ve got the legacy media — and most of the courts. The Democrats have kept an iron grip on the federal bureaucracy since before I was born — and the NGOs for most of my life. They’ve got Hollywood. They’ve got Big Tech. They’ve got the schools and the universities. Need I continue? Now you have to be really honest with yourself: which side controls the 2024 election? That's why America is headed for chaos. After all: if the voting machines are rigged, then how does it matter if your favorite candidate is leading in the polls right now? https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd2291d17-7244-4e59-b96c-1cd9a25408c5_1290x1283.jpeg This assessment brings me to the central question: what’s your Plan B after the November election?

That’s why it’s time to stop listening to any conservative media figure who tells you the Biden regime is “stupid” or “incompetent.” That’s just happy talk to conceal how the GOP has ceased to exist as a political party in the last few years, and merged with the Democrats. https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1653209e-2b97-4004-ab22-daec44cd01fc_1196x733.png If I’m being really honest, it looks to me like the Biden regime is conducting a communist takeover of America — and it's doing just fine.

Chicago Begins Evicting Migrants From Shelters, Citing Strain on Resources
Officials say more than 2,000 people would be evicted by the end of April, as volunteer groups scramble to assist them. Chicago officials on Sunday began evicting some migrants from shelters, joining other cities that have made similar moves to ease pressure on overstretched resources. The process is starting gradually. Out of the nearly 11,000 migrants living in 23 homeless shelters in Chicago, according to the Office of Emergency Management and Communications, a fraction — 34 single adults — were required to leave on Sunday. Many people will be eligible for exemptions. They will be determined on a case-by-case basis, city officials said, for pregnant women, people with certain medical issues and migrants who are already in the process of securing housing. Families with children can receive renewable 30-day extensions. But officials said that more than 2,000 people would be evicted by the end of April. And many families with children may be forced to exit the shelter network altogether by the summer. Backed by an army of volunteers, Chicago and other cities have found shelter for migrants, enrolled their children in schools, provided food assistance and held workshops to help them fill out paperwork to apply for work permits. But housing migrants has been draining city coffers — Chicago has received more than 37,000 migrants since August 2022. Overall, in the past year, hundreds of thousands of migrants have ended up in large cities. The evictions are placing even more pressure on the volunteers as they scramble to fill the void. Many of them said they had grave concerns about the impact, particularly when they begin to apply to families. . . https://archive.is/RRBhJ |

LA battles spate of 'burglary tourists' as marauding gangs from Chile, Ecuador Colombia and Peru jet in on 90-day visas and ransack millionaire mansions before fleeing back to South America
- The LAPD has launched a task force to combat the threat of 'burglary tourists' - Internationals from South America have abused American visa laws to steal - Some have been accused of over 30 robberies throughout southern California The Los Angeles Police Department has launched a task force to try to crack down on 'burglary tourists' who use the US tourism visa system to commit crimes. Cunning criminals from Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru target wealthy neighborhoods in places with relaxed criminal justice laws to conduct home burglaries - before returning home with the loot while out on bail. The troubling trend of 'lanzas internacionales' - translated to 'international thieves' - dates back at least two years across America, while the problem has also reared its ugly head in the United Kingdom.

With food inflation still hot, consumers turn to buy now, pay later to buy groceries and takeout
Money is tight, food prices are soaring, and that’s turning more and more Americans to buy now, pay later options to stay afloat. Last year, some 15 million consumers — or 6.5% of the US population — reported using BNPL installment loans to pay for groceries or manage their weekly food expenses, according to research from PYMNTS Intelligence. Out of that share, about 5.4% of the households using BNPL to afford groceries were low-income. Meaning there was still a slim share of higher-earners, those making over $100,000 annually, using the popular "pay-in-four" installment loans to purchase food each month. According to experts, the trend may bleed into this year as consumers across all income groups continue to grapple with climbing prices. “As the cost of living rises, people find it harder to manage their budgets and cover their expenses,” attorney and personal finance expert Erika Kullberg told Yahoo Finance. “Therefore, BNPL offers a short-term answer by allowing shoppers to spread out payments over time.” . . https://www.aol.com/food-inflation-still-hot-consumers-140000018.html |

In Cuba, hundreds take to the streets in rare protests as economic crisis deepens
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets Sunday in Cuba’s second-largest city, Santiago, demanding food and power amid a worsening economic crisis that has left many everyday Cubans with scarce amounts of each. In widely circulated videos on social media, Cubans in Santiago, in the east, can be heard chanting, “We are hungry,” as well as calling for electricity and food. Some residents have experienced power outages for 18 hours a day or more. While there have been occasional outbreaks of protests in the past few years, they are still rare on the tightly controlled, communist-run island. Videos circulated on social media also show protests in Bayamo, another city in the east. Cuba has been grappling with a severe economic crisis with shortages in food, medicine, fuel and power. Inflation has risen sharply, making many products unaffordable for Cubans who depend on an average monthly state salary of $16. Cuba has been under punishing U.S. sanctions for decades, which the Cuban government largely blames for their economic woes. The country’s Soviet-style, centrally planned economy has also affected Cuba’s economy negatively, according to economists. Cuba recently took some austerity measures including a steep hike in the price of gasoline, which has left people nervous. Ricardo Torres, a Cuban economist and fellow at American University in Washington, D.C., said there is no quick fix for the problems Cuba is facing with lack of power, which requires the purchase of fuel, and the shortages in food, which the island mostly imports, unless one of its allies comes to its rescue with aid. “Cuba should be talking about how to move away from its centrally planned economy and towards a market economy,” Torres said. “Two or three economic measures only put a Band-aid on the problem.” Following the protests, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel posted on X that “mediocre politicians and terrorists on social media” got together in South Florida to try to fire up the streets. The U.S. Embassy in Havana posted on X that it was aware of the peaceful protests in Santiago, Bayamo, Granma and elsewhere and urged Cuba’s government “to respect the human rights of the protestors and address the legitimate needs of the Cuban people.” Cuba’s foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez, responded, saying the “US government, particularly its embassy in #Cuba, should abstain from interfering in the internal affairs of our country and inciting social unrest.” . . https://www.yahoo.com/news/cuba-hundreds-streets-rare-protests-181952571.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall |

In Wisconsin, a vote for Biden or Trump could come down to grocery prices
The local Piggly Wiggly in Sheboygan is ground zero for economic discontent in an area with low unemployment and great job prospects SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Dawn Mohr stopped by the local Piggly Wiggly to pick up $6 worth of pork steaks last week and immediately remembered just how much she’s grown to hate grocery shopping. “Everything is so damn high,” she said, shaking her head at $3.09 bottles of Coca Cola. “Good ol’ Biden.” Mohr, a 54-year-old home health-care aide, mostly shops the clearance aisles. Her $17 hourly paycheck, which inched up 80 cents in the past two years, is hardly enough to cover the basics anymore. She says there’s no question she’ll vote for Donald Trump again. Every trip to the supermarket cements her resolve. “When Trump was president, there wasn’t inflation,” she said. “We could afford food.” . . https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/03/18/grocery-prices-election-wisconsin-biden-trump/ |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Alacran: In Cuba, hundreds take to the streets in rare protests as economic crisis deepens Hundreds of protesters took to the streets Sunday in Cuba’s second-largest city, Santiago, demanding food and power amid a worsening economic crisis that has left many everyday Cubans with scarce amounts of each. In widely circulated videos on social media, Cubans in Santiago, in the east, can be heard chanting, “We are hungry,” as well as calling for electricity and food. Some residents have experienced power outages for 18 hours a day or more. While there have been occasional outbreaks of protests in the past few years, they are still rare on the tightly controlled, communist-run island. Videos circulated on social media also show protests in Bayamo, another city in the east. Cuba has been grappling with a severe economic crisis with shortages in food, medicine, fuel and power. Inflation has risen sharply, making many products unaffordable for Cubans who depend on an average monthly state salary of $16. Cuba has been under punishing U.S. sanctions for decades, which the Cuban government largely blames for their economic woes.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RogueSpear2023: Welcome to Haiti of America Another dystopian fiction slides towards being nonfiction. Gang-ravaged Haiti 'is real-life Mad Max' on the brink of complete collapse Gang violence continued in Haiti over the weekend despite absentee Prime Minister Ariel Henry finally agreeing to resign last week - the situation on the ground has now been compared to Mad Max . . With food, water and fuel becoming increasingly scarce for those trapped in gang-controlled areas, the situation on the ground is "the worst that anyone has seen in decades" according to Catherin Russell, UNICEF executive director. She told CBS: "Many, many people there are suffering from serious hunger and malnutrition and we're not able to get enough aid to them... it's almost like a scene out of Mad Max, that's what it seems like." . . https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/gang-ravaged-haiti-is-real-32379446 |

I lost confidence in the Supreme Court when they refused to even hear arguments about election integrity. At that point, the fate of America was sealed. |
