I try to drop in to get a feel about what issues there might be with food supply like the title says but this thread is 95% doomer shit posting.

Blah, blah, blah. Tons of actual info in this thread, but you actually have to look at what is presented.

I finally made time to listen to this today.  Thanks again for posting.  Well worth the time!  It does provide more puzzle pieces to get a clearer picture of what’s going on now and what has been going on for several decades.

Watched it. Even my wife took a listen. She's not into that kind of thing but she learned a few things.

Skipped 78 pgs … Major league yawn fest.

By the way, THE! Ohio St. Buckeyes are pounding Maryland heiny.

I fully understand your basis for this statement.  As this thread progressed, I found myself questioning some of my posts that veered away from the main topic, but at the same time, the more I saw, the more I realized that this is all connected.  The obvious one is the war in Ukraine and the disruption of crops, but it all will end up affecting our access to food - illegal immigration, CBDC, digital passports, weather and access to energy, and on and on.  

As pointed out early in this thread, famine is not just lack of food, it’s also lack of money or means to acquire food.  All of the these things will have a direct impact on everyone’s ability to eat and feed our families.  This is a manmade crisis and is being used against the population of the world as a control mechanism.  

It’s long past the time to realize that and time to start preparing for the arrival of hard times.  Inaction guarantees the doomer outcome.  Knowledge is power.  Now is the time to to utilize that power to the fullest potential possible, especially if you have family that depends on how you react.

I try to throw in some comedy from time to time.  Not everyone appreciates my sense of humor.

Maybe it is doomer talk. Or maybe it’s not.

I recall buck19delta got a lot of grins with his “These are the salad days.  Stock up now” thread. Until the salad days were over.

Maybe these are the salad days for…. Salads, and beef, chicken, pork, and lobster.

What is it in people that compels them to take time out of their day to post about how much they think a topic is B.S.?

This thread is just an aggregator, x-posting from other sites and threads for people to make up their own mind.  If you think it's B.S., congratulations and have a cookie.  Once done with your cookie, go back to your sandbox to play in and we'll stay in ours.

I've read every page and this thread contains tons of valuable information.
I want to thank Alacran for his efforts and hope he will continue to post the type of content he has been posting.

In fact, ALL of the crises are man made for the purpose of enabling liberal fascist government.

(This thread is my "newspaper". )

I watched several YT videos yesterday, many from European sources & perspectives.  My sense is there is a visceral anger that certainly exists just under the censorship radar.  The possibility of overthrowing governments is not out of the question.  The only question is when?

Gosh that sounds awful. I’d quit dropping in.

The only reason this thread hasn’t been archived is because I and others continue to find stories that warn of food shortages and potential famine that give credence to the original post.   Other events such as wars, coups, natural disasters, and government policies are also exasperating that possibility.

Anyone with half a brain can see tough times are ahead,  but to what extent?

I thank him regularly.

Appreciate it.  

I must admit that I’ve watched videos and read article that I would not have normally read and have been amazed at some of the things I’ve learned along the way.  Many of it, I’m just trying to pass on to others.

I view it as those folks having an all or nothing mentality. That’s where they’re making a mistake.

Folks need to take what they want and leave the rest. That’s no different than any subject where you have an open discussion occurring. None of us will ever agree on every aspect or thought process. Especially something as negative as watching the world crumble around us.

Just look at the social and political divide in our country. It’s absolutely spun off it’s axis. A great majority of the left hates us and we likewise despise them. And thats not just going to magically fix itself overnight. Now we are experiencing a slide in the economy and the majority of the population is becoming financially strapped.

The rest of the world is experiencing the same thing. Some places worse, some not quite as bad. But make no mistake, the world as we know it has dramatically changed in the last few years.

This thread is just a clearinghouse for sharing that information. Like I previously said; take away what you want, ignore the rest. The smartass edgelord comments serve no purpose.

I agree that all of this is manmade, except for maybe the weather.  Some say that weather can be manipulated by man.  I’m not quite ready to go there yet, but as the curtain keeps being pulled back further & further, it really wouldn’t surprise me if it shows to be true.

Hoover Dam Brings Electricity to 1.3 Million—It's At Risk of Shutting Down

What experts are calling an "on-again, off-again" drought for the past two decades is depleting the Colorado River and its two main reservoirs. If the situation continues, the millions of Americans receiving water and electricity from the Hoover Dam could be effected.

The Colorado River feeds two reservoirs––Lake Mead and Lake Powell––which supply the water that powers the Hoover Dam's capability to create electricity for 1.3 million people. The Hoover Dam also provides water to 25 million people, but if water falls another 150 feet, the reservoirs won't be full enough to power the Hoover Dam.

How Do Water Levels Effect The Hoover Dam?

In the 1990s, reservoir levels were at 100 percent, according to Richard Seager, a climate scientist at Columbia University. Now, levels hover around 30 percent. It takes years to restore the levels in the expansive reservoirs, and Seager doubts the levels will ever return to what they were in the 1990s.

Water levels are currently 100 feet above what it takes to pass through the dam properly. If they drop 150 feet, levels will reach what's known as a dead pool and no longer pass through the dam at all, according to an article by KARE 11.

A Quarter of Americans at Risk of Winter Power Blackouts, Grid Emergencies

(Bloomberg) — Large swaths of North America may face blackouts and other energy emergencies during bouts of extreme cold this winter as coal and natural gas supplies tighten, according to a US regulatory agency.

The electric grids at most risk of supply shortfalls are in Texas, the central US system stretching from the Great Lakes to Louisiana, New England and the Carolinas, the North American Electric Reliability Council said in its seasonal assessment Thursday. Severe weather may stress grids by causing demand to soar while supplies of natural gas, coal and back-up fuel oil are all tight, leaving little room for error, according to the report.

“The trend is we see more areas at risk, we see more retirements of critical generation, fuel challenges and we are doing everything we can,” John Moura, NERC’s director of reliability assessment, said during a media briefing. “These challenges don’t kind of appear out of nowhere.”

NERC’s warning touches at least a quarter of Americans, who are poised to see already high utility bills soar even more this winter. Electricity demand has rebounded faster than anyone anticipated after the Covid-19 pandemic shutdowns. Prices of gas, the No. 1 power-plant fuel in the US, are high because of below-average stockpiles and strong exports to Europe as Russia wages a war on Ukraine. A possible railroad strike also threatens to impact coal supplies.

“As the demand for electricity risks outpacing the available supply during peak winter conditions, consumers face an inconceivable but real threat of rolling blackouts,” Jim Matheson, chief executive officer of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, said in an emailed statement. “It doesn’t have to be this way. But absent a shift in state and federal energy policy, this is a reality we will face for years to come.”

The central US grid managed by the Midcontinent Independent System Operator has tight power supplies after a large number of generators shut last winter and its Gulf Coast plants haven’t done enough to protect against cold weather, NERC said. New England’s perennially constrained gas supplies are even more strained this year because Europe is scrambling for every molecule of the fuel to keep warm.

“There is a very real possibility that New England could be facing a dire set of consequences this winter,” James Danly, a commissioner on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, said during the agency’s meeting Thursday.

Energy transition is taking place at different paces based on state policies and economics, Moura said. Grids are relying more on weather-dependent sources — wind and solar — while at the same time getting battered by more frequent extreme storms, he said.

Overall, though, the report is less dire than the one heading into last winter. The outlook for winter hydropower generation in the West has improved and the Southwest Power Pool has added new gas and wind generation.

In Texas, efforts to prepare the gas infrastructure and power plants reduces the odds of a repeat of the widespread blackouts in February 2021 that lasted for days and left more than 200 people dead, NERC said.

Five NATO Aircraft Carriers Are Currently Operating In European Waters

NATO says the five carrier deployments are all separate, but highlight the alliance’s capacity to conduct major coordinated naval operations.

Five aircraft carriers from four different NATO member countries, including the U.S. Navy's newest supercarrier the USS Gerald R. Ford, which is on its first operational deployment, together with a multitude of escorts, are currently sailing in bodies of water around Europe. The alliance says that these simultaneous deployments have provided a valuable opportunity to demonstrate its procedures for coordinating disparate activities of a large number of major naval assets, just as it might do in a future high-end conflict.

This all of course comes as NATO continues to maintain a heightened force posture in light of Russia's ongoing war on Ukraine. Now long-standing fears of the potential for that conflict to spill over into neighboring countries were highlighted just this week after an errant missile crossed the border between Ukraine and Poland and killed two individuals on a farm in the latter country, which is a NATO member.

Video from last Thursday but makes some very good points about shipping and supply chains.  He projects Amazon will do away with free shipping which could signal that something bigger is on the horizon.

My recent amazon orders have had had delays or outright not deliverable with the shipment lost through internal channels to be delivered by amazon.  My only option was to cancel the delivery and reorder at current prices.  Amazon did not offer to resend contents of original order even though they acknowledged the package was lost through their internal shipping process.

Legalizing Border Crossing for All: The Next Stage of Biden's Migration Crisis

CIS gets rare access to a secretive, expanding program that makes border crossing "legal"

MEXICALI, Mexico – This northern Mexican city across from California is one of the latest to go live with an unreported, legally questionable new immigration strategy that President Joe Biden’s administration has discretely unfurled for months all along the U.S. southern border.

Twice a day, seven days a week since September, Mexicali city officials working closely with Biden’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection, on a secure shared “CBP-ONE” online platform, select hundreds of people a month for their escorted government-to-government handoffs through the land port of entry to Calexico, Calif. Once the Americans check their paperwork, they legally admit intending illegal border crossers like Nicaraguan Maria Esperanza Diaz Ruiz, 42, into the U.S. interior under a questionable authority known as “humanitarian or significant public benefit parole.”

Maria Esperanza Diaz Ruiz of Nicaragua waits at a Mexicali government shelter for imminent transport over the Calexico, California port of entry on November 2, 2022
Maria Esperanza Diaz Ruiz of Nicaragua waits at a Mexicali government shelter for imminent transport over the Calexico, Calif., port of entry.
They are free to start new lives under the benefit, with work authorization and the right to apply for asylum part of the package.

As she waited with 25 other selected immigrants for her legal ride to America, Maria told the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) she’d left home figuring she would have to pay smugglers to cross her over the border illegally. But up-trail word from friends reached her down-trail by cell phone that the Biden administration had legally admitted them and many others from Mexicali under the new humanitarian parole program.

They told Maria, “This is real. This is really a real program. This is not a magic trick,” she told CIS.

Maria came to Mexicali as soon as she could. A local migrant shelter took her in, and while she was fed and housed in relative security, American volunteers, lawyers, and activists helped her collect the documents America required: just the right documented story of woe, a psychologist attesting to suffered traumas and fear of returning home, proof of citizenship and identity, a clear criminal background, need for urgent free American medical treatment, and a sponsor in the U.S. willing to financially support the applicant. The story Maria proffered is that she worked for a government official in Nicaragua whose homosexuality drew death threats from her ex-husband, also a government worker, against her and her boss.

“I had to leave because I would be killed,” she claimed.

On that claimed basis, Maria was now waiting for a Mexican immigration service bus to drive her and 30 others in her group into America, still unable to believe her unlikely good fortune.

“I am so happy, so, so happy,” Maria said.

Teams of Mexicali city administrators work feverishly to enter each chosen immigrant into the CBP-ONE data portal so the Americans can pre-approve them for handoff at the Calexico border crossing.

After a couple of hours, a Mexican immigration van finally pulled up to the front. A white-uniformed federal officer swung open the van door as the 25 men, women, and children piled in with a few belongings. The bus transported them into a gated section of the port of entry, where they were to be handed over to Americans for processing. CIS was not allowed to follow beyond the gated area.

Qatar Signs World’s ‘Longest’ Gas Supply Deal With China

QatarEnergy announced a 27-year natural gas supply deal with China Monday, calling it the “longest” ever seen as it strengthened ties with Asia at a time when Europe is scrambling for alternative sources.

The state energy company will send four million tonnes of liquefied natural gas annually from its new North Field East project to China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), it said.

The deal “marks the longest gas supply agreement in the history of the LNG industry”, said Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Qatar’s energy minister and QatarEnergy’s chief executive.

Asian countries led by China, Japan and South Korea are the main market for Qatar’s gas, which is increasingly being sought by European countries since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Negotiations with European countries have struggled as Germany and others have baulked at signing the sort of long-term deals made with Asian nations.

North Field is at the centre of Qatar’s expansion of its liquefied natural gas production by more than 60 percent to 126 million tonnes a year by 2027.

China is the first country to seal a deal for North Field East.

The Chinese company’s chairman revealed that it had also requested a full share of the North Field South project that is dominated by Western energy giants.

The accord would “further solidify the excellent bilateral relations between the People’s Republic of China and the State of Qatar and help meet China’s growing energy needs”, Kaabi said.

Sinopec chairman Ma Yongsheng, who took part in a virtual signing ceremony from Beijing, said it was a “milestone” accord as “Qatar is the world’s largest LNG supplier and China is the world’s largest LNG importer”.

He told the ceremony that he had “formally” requested in October last year a share of Qatar’s North Field South project. TotalEnergies of France, Shell of Britain and US giant ConocoPhillips will share the 25 percent foreign stake in the field.

“Thank you for taking it into serious consideration,” Ma told Kaabi at the ceremony, adding that Sinopec wanted to explore other potential deals with QatarEnergy.

Thanks, guys!

LOL They have to get the ships to china right?  Good luck with that....

Wanted to post something similar - well said.

Just because I haven’t commented on this doesn’t mean it hadn’t been on my mind.

May have to resort to Amazon.

This is criminal.  By law, even if her life were at risk, she would have to apply for asylum in the first safe country, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize or Mexico.  She cannot pass through all of them to declare at the country of her choosing,  this is international and US law for asylum.

This thread is like a scatter diagram where the subconscious intuition needs to figure out where the trend line is heading.

Trust your gut. Your OWN gut about things.

UK Dad only lets family use heating once a month, and they all wear torches (headlamps) after electric bill goes from £140 to £320 monthly.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/dad-only-lets-family-use-7833703

Per the article they turn the heat on once a week, rarely run the tv, and use a drying rack for clothing.

One would think Amazon being such a HUGE company that it's run well. I was a business partner of theirs several years ago. They outright stole from me. EVERYTHING is run overseas and the US partners have no
power whatsoever. It's a clusterfuck. US management would continually apologize to me. Several years ago Amazon took away(from the management) all text and phone privileges to talk to "the big guys" overseas. They can only email them now.
I also worked for them as a delivery driver for exactly one shift. They stole money from me and I fired them. I'm also permanently banned from leaving reviews on Amazon. I called out all the fake reviews for a product and got a
nasty email from them. Lifetime banned the next day. Amazon is not what people think they are. How they stay in business is a miracle.

That's an amazing story, and I don't doubt what you say is true.

I deal with Amazon just as a regular retail customer and their service has been great. I honestly don't know how I can receive an order in under 24 hours, but they do it frequently.  I'm an electrician and have been relying on Amazon more and more for materials, as Home Depot is becoming more and more like a third world nation with their chronic shortages. As I understand it, Amazon is the storefront and I'm actually buying from a variety of different sellers. Whatever they're doing, it works for me.
