WORRIED ABOUT FOOD YET?


Before we begin, as I chastise you severely for ignoring me, which if you do not tread very carefully will also include a “told you so” dance, a hearty hi ho and thanks for all the fish to the mystery minion who sent me a cash donation. I think I’ll use that to get my long delayed supply of dry bleach ( from the link from Rawles, http://www.inyopools.com/ , the calcium hypochlorite that needs 1/8th ounce to make a gallon of bleach, $3.50 per pound ).

What was it, two weeks ago I passed on the info about the Canadian wheat shortage ( The War and the World's Wheat: The Risks of a Shortage Next Harvest ) being projected? Then came the drought in Thailand. Then the flooding in Pakistan. No news on that one, but one should assume crop destruction. This morning ( Wednesday ), news of the Russian grain shortages. So, are you worried about food yet? If that news alone doesn’t concern you, turn to the Mainstream Media and perform the standard Alice In Wonderland Through The Looking Glass ( Through the Looking - Glass and What Alice Found There: With Fifty Illustrations ) math. Take whatever they say and reverse it. That is a true gauge of the real news, and saves you a lot of time searching the Web. Not long after the Russian news, a jovial commentator assured us that this was super deluxe wonderful news since it meant that American farmers would now get a fair price on their grain. As opposed to, one imagines, an unfair one that crippled the industry. Now, as the patriotic music swelled in the background, flags unfurled and Mom stepped out with a fresh baked apple pie, you might have wondered how mega-corporate grain conglomerates had been hurt in the past as they sucked up Department Of Agriculture food subsidy tax dollars and pushed Frankenfoods ( patent pending or already granted ) seeds on Third World peasants and shoved corn syrup down our throats. But forget about that. Let’s pretend that middle America independent farmers were still around to enjoy increased grain prices. The flipside is that they are either going to ship all of our grain overseas or charge us an arm and a leg to buy it ourselves. Oh, you silly little boys, continues our Pollyanna spokesperson, even if wheat doubles in price that means that bread only goes up a nickel a loaf since the package costs more ( I guess I don’t even need to mention that this propaganda slop was dished up into the public trough by NPR, the official news channel of the Obamma Health Care Plan [ G.O.P. Health Care Plan ? Don't Get Sick ! PINBACK BUTTON 1.25" Pin / Badge Anti-Republican ] ).

Now, since our corporate masters are making more money and since Yuppie Scum won’t notice a price increase in their $3.99 muti-grain loaf of bread, I suppose I shouldn’t be worried. But the last time we had oil shoot up along with a rice shortage the price of wheat went up fifty percent and the price of flour on the shelf doubled. So I could give two craps about corporate farmers or the price of bread. I’m worried about a bag of wheat kernels ( The Proteins of the Wheat Kernel ) going from an already high $15 to $20 or $25. I’m worried about a bag of flour going from $1.60 to $2.50. I expect it, I forecast it at the beginning of the year. I won’t let it stop me from buying more, but it sure will allow me to buy a lot less. For the rest of you, the ones that keep looking at me with a slightly crooked sarcastic smirk, I guess this doesn’t matter since you feel no need to stockpile grain. Why look, you gasp condescendingly, we are America. Nothing bad happens to us because Baby Jesus ( Beautiful 24k Gold Layered GL Spiritual Mary Holding Baby Jesus Laser Charm Necklace - 18" chain Lifetime Warranty! Comes in Fancy Velvet Gift Box (MR48) ) loves the heck out of us. We won’t ever run out of oil, even if we are down to half of what we used to pump. Never mind that the Gulf oil is the lions share of that half. The same gulf that is seeing a slowdown in production out of lawyer fears. Obamma, who we refused to believe is the puppet of the bankers because that would mean we would be labeled conspiracy nuts, has done the unthinkable and put roadblocks in the way of domestic oil production. But it must be because It Is For The Children, because a Democrat isn’t evil like a Republican. Just because our nation peaked in oil ( Confronting Collapse: The Crisis of Energy and Money in a Post Peak Oil World ) forty years ago does not mean we can’t just continue on the path of prosperity by printing up wealth.

When is it the appropriate time to panic? After the emergency starts? So you can be one of the mob running down to Wal-Mart ( Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price ) with your 20 shot Glock ( Glock Part Black Disassembly Tool ), ready to get into a firefight for a few cans of picked beets? Because, hey, we all know that a buttload of limp wrist 9mm will overcome any problem. Just like an AR-15 turns you into a special forces commando. Me, I’ve got no problem admitting I’m scared to death of that mob and I’m staying the hell away from them. I already have my food because I panicked early. I took the Too Early warning signs and stocked up ( not that you are ever done stocking up, but past a minimum level it is all more cushion or security blanket than actual need ), rather than wait for the Too Late Clear As A Bell warning announcement. Back in the day of imminent Soviet ( Hat Russian Soviet Army Black KGB * Fur Military Cossack Ushanka * Size L ) destruction, you stocked up early, because you had no warning of missile attack ( as it turns out, we largely created the myth of Soviet danger ourselves, regime puppet whores calling themselves experts pretending to study the myth as fact ). Today, for some bizarre reason, we think we can forecast a famine easier than that missile attack. But at least you have a little more time. More than the twenty minutes of old.

Okay, so what if this is yet another unfounded scare? What if we avert disaster again? Who cares! This is more a warning sign than a crystal ball projection. When the levee is almost overflowing, do you assume it will soon slop over or do you wish it would stop and so hang around to keep checking it? I just think this is a hell of a warning sign and you are retarded to ignore it. Get food stockpiled, already. Prices will keep going up if for no other reason than inflation ( as your wages drop in purchasing power ). Or they can double tomorrow. Play it safe.
