This is for the Food Shortage Deniers...

Fortune Favors the Bold

Did you know the WTO has IMPORT MANDATES for industrialized countries? Japan, which has no shortage of rice, is saying no to the WTO quota. As much as we will be upset about the rising prices, it's really the third world that will suffer the most as farmers are forced by the New World Order to export food when their own nation is starving.

I don't think anyone's really denying this stuff... they just might not know about it. All you have to do is turn on any of the MSM channels and you hear about food shortages around the world and rice being sold out or super expensive here in America, etc.

please read! George Ure is my first read Monday threw Saturday.. it only costs 40.00 per year if you want the really good info!

if we contributed to the run on Bear Stearns. I remember there was news about it here on DP befoe it happened.

is that the commodities market is in danger of a bubble, not unlike the housing bubble going on now. I believe there will be a lot of farmers who spend a lot of money to grow wheat to meet the demands of a shortage will be looking at losing billions. Same with corn (especially corn), rice an other commodities. The crises is the new bubbles being created by an manipulated "free" market.

If we all go out and mass purchase rice or other staples we are only going to further increase the distribution burden. We are not facing bread lines, some other countries are. Consider buying only a little extra over a period of eight to ten weeks. Please at least consider that this could be an attempt to blindly swing Americans' actions based on fear; this method has worked so well in the past.

Yes -- we've heard there have been food riots, there has also been at least some question to whether one of them one staged according a to one liveleak video. Let me just pose to you a question: If you wanted to create an artificial food crisis, what would the best method be? Get on CNN and tell semi-wealthy Americans they are facing food shortages, getting them to get up on purchase hundreds to a thousand dollars of rice beans and other staples? If 25% of the viewers of CNN and Alex Jones show and other shows talking about food shortages all go out and mass purchase these, would it in fact create the food crisis?

If X, Y, and Z poor countries were facing food shortages; and you either held commodities on the market OR were in favor of global depopulation (ie you wanted citizens to die...), what would the best method to exacerbate this situation be? Perhaps it would be to get CNN and Alex Jones show to spew food shortage propaganda; driving up food commodity prices (making the rich investors richer) and further pressuring the few countries still exporting food supplies and the global supply line. Those of you familiar with Problem-Reaction-Solution will recognize this; 'they' create the problem, and offer the solution. The solution appears to be acceptance of GMO foods.

Yes food shortages and crisis are probably undoubtedly coming, but don't help the scum create them. Water and food have been analyzed for use as weapons against people since at least the '70s.

Does anyone remember the Georgia/Florida water shortage that the news basically glossed over last year? (was it FL was short and wanted to steal water from GA or what? I dont remember the full details; b/c the news painted it as not too big a deal... whoops America)? How much of that is occurring elsewhere?

When Glenn Beck tells me to 'go out and stock up' I have to question it, I refuse to be another American sheeple led by fear.

I just got off the phone with someone living in Las Vegas, who told me about bell peppers being $4.00 each there; same price for one dozen eggs.

Isn't there or wasn't there once some sort of law on the books against hoarding in times of crisis? What would happen if one is charged with "hoarding" -- would the food be confiscated, would there be arrests; what? That's something I wonder about as I sock away the rice...

& the shelves are full to the max with rice - beans - oil etc. I asked a stocker about any shortage & he looked at me like I was a nut. Now they where out of the Rotisserie chickens - but that may of been because of a coupon - buy one get one free.

Do you think if the combination of extremely high prices in gas and the eventual high prices of Beer will make the people wake up. I don't think anything else has done the trick. But mess with beer and tobacco and you might get a revolution really going. The truckers are really gonna get going pretty soon if all this falls down on them. Except how do we know what's going on with the mexican truckers who have no tariffs and tax on their products are doing?

The unwashed masses must get hungry for liberty--maybe being physically hungry will awaken their instinctive thirst for freedom.

Please do not overlook dehydration instead of canning. It's more convenient, easier to store, and everything is re-useable. I also use a vacuum sealer (jar sealer) and mason jars for storage (not the disposable bags). If you dehydrate and vacuum seal your meat and produce, you can use the same canning lids over and over. I was amazed to learn that vacuum sealers work with regular mason jars and canning lids.

I run small loads every time I shop and most frequently dehydrate celery, broccoli, potato slices and cubes, carrots, green peppers, tomatoes, and onions) that taste wonderful in many recipes.

As far as meat, besides making jerky, you can also dehydrate ground beef (google hamburger rocks), ham, sausage, and many other things for making soups, stews, etc.

You save money buying produce in bulk, the stuff will store indefinitely at room temperature, and since the prep work is done when you store it - it's available to easily throw into a recipe.

A great resource is the Complete Dehydrator Cookbook by Mary Bell.

We just returned from Sams Club in Port Charlotte Fla and they have plenty of rice.

So does the Thai Store on Tamiami trail.

I had not heard about the truckers strike on the 17th but it is due. Those guys are in a real bind. As far as food, I have been storing food for the past year and for canning supplies, go to the local flea marts and buy up all the canning jars you can while you can. it is so much cheaper than buying new and they are just as serviceable as the new ones. I finally had to buy a new pressure canner as my old one ( 42yrs old) just was pretty worn out but found the new ones very reasonable at Wallmart.. Now everything gets canned as we buy fresh this spring. Hopefully we will have all of summer to prepare. If there is never a shortage of food then we will be way ahead and save a bundle as the price of food will rise as has the gas prices..

you control the people , you make the rules...you can starve them off slowly , one by one, person by person, child by child, you can heard them to the fema camps with little more than a whimper....they just werent counting on some of us waking up in time and having enough sense to store food and supplies and growing our gardens...its not enough for us to have for ourselves and our families.....we have to reach out and keep trying to wake up our neighbors,,we ve got to keep trying yall

All locations?!?!? I thought this food shortage was limited to some area in California...
