THE COST OF AVOIDING THE STEW POT
In groundbreaking news, Haiti has a cholera outbreak. This is news? You really think there hasn’t been a previous one for almost a year? Regardless, it does help illustrate a very important point to preppers. The area affected didn’t see damage from the earthquake (
Earthquake
). What happened was the refugees from the damaged area came there and overloaded the region. So, not only do refugees want to kill you and put you in the stewpot, they also want to crap in the water supply and kill off the ones they don’t eat. Refugees are STRANGER DANGER!!!(
I Can Play It Safe
) Kill them all, do not let them in. Send them up to Idaho for good old fashion Christian charity. I would advise you to take your chances going to Hell by being a selfish bastard. And remember, folks turned away will have no shame and send out old people and little kids and hoochie mommas (
Hoochie Momma
) to entice you. And frankly, that just might work. A few weeks after the collapse all the fat bitches with fake boobs will have lost weight and actually start to look pretty good. And the kids will look all sad and pitiful. But unless you are planning to start a cotton weaving factory or other endeavor that utilizes child labor, don’t fall for it. Those little bastards will eat you out of house and home and then complain about having no batteries to play their GameBoy (
NINTENDO GAMEBOY ADVANCE SP, COBALT BLUE
)( after robbing the batteries from a critical tool ). Even if you kill the adult males that sent out the decoys, the cute/hot ones they are sending out will endanger your health anyway. Kill them all, there are plenty to spare in your area. Kids and ho’s. Or, ho’s that will have kids.

“The U.S. has done a marvelous job of ameliorating the effects of Peak Oil Imports; and while Peak Oil might still be debatable, I think any statistician would be hard pressed to counter the Peak Imports circumstance.)”
*
If I’m not mistaken, oil imports are down something like 25% ( if not a third ) from four/five years ago. Since we imported almost 75% of our oil ( we were using 20 million barrels a day before the decline and we only produce six ) this is a huge deal. As is quoted above, even the drooling inbred banjo playing mouth breathers who think resources never deplete and Peak Oil (
Peak Oil and the Second Great Depression (2010-2030): A Survival Guide for Investors and Savers After Peak Oil
) is just my own paranoid fantasy, import decline is oh so very real and could only be denied by the kind of life form even the aforementioned retard would look down on. Our own beloved government that is always so truthful and never fudges any numbers like the amount of VC killed or the numbers of Iraqi civilians NOT killed or inflation rates or the unemployment numbers, even they are reporting import numbers being down. So if you and your butt buddy Bammy who went to Stockholm together to get his Nobel prize and stayed in a fancy hotel while you sucked the peanuts out of his ass, if you both are trying to tell me that imports are not down than I must lose all my self restraint and impeccable manners and scream that you are dumber than a box of rocks. So, now that we’ve established that import decline is real by degrading and ridiculing anyone that doesn’t agree with us, kind of like the global warming (
The Great Global Warming Blunder: How Mother Nature Fooled the World's Top Climate Scientists
) advocates who have stated that anyone not agreeing with them is a traitor and will be put on a melting icecap to die, we can get to the main point here. “The US has done a marvelous job of ameliorating the effects of Peak Oil Imports” by which he agreed to downgrade to simple “effects of import decline, no Peak Oil here, nothing to see, move along and remain calm” just to shut you up and get on with the statement, which I agree is a swell thing to do on his part.
*
What has been the price we have paid to avoid the stewpot? What did we have to do to avoid a full on economic collapse ( since we are talking about import decline rather than global supply decline, we won’t consider total collapse- just economic )? We nationalized a lot of industry, from cars to housing loans. We doubled our debt to keep the bankers going just a little bit longer. Our unemployment either doubled or quadrupled, depending on whose numbers you believe. We took almost half of our corn supply and turned it into ethanol. As a result almost everything in the food supply chain doubled or quadrupled in price. And that was just from corn no longer being cheaper than dirt. It had little to do with debased currency (
Debased currency and the London monetary conference
) or increased grain exports to feed a drought stricken world. The price of crude doubled even as we turned our food into fuel. We elected a complete and utter moron as President ( but that was just icing on the cake, as almost anyone other than Hillary Clinton would have done just as bad of a job- Hillary would have/will [ when she nukes the other government officials above her in the line of succession- remember, you heard it here first which will get me rendentioned to Syria ] do triple the damage ). Your home lost half its value and it is a matter of a few years- NOT decades- before you lose your pension. Personally I think the hoopla over privatizing 401(k)’s is a smoke screen for how close public pensions are to insolvency. And remember, for something like the last twelve out of fifteen months the US Treasury has had to make up for a deficient in the Social Security payments. That system has been broke for a year even as these whores on the Bammy payroll are telling you the program won’t be insolvent until some impossible date like 2031.
*
All this has been what happened when we lost twenty percent of our energy supply ( 75% of 20 million is 15. A third of that gone leaves 10, which added to our six is 16. 16 out of twenty equals a total lose of 20% of our energy supply- and I’ve used conservative numbers. I think our imports are only 8 ). Just twenty percent. If we’ve lost oil imports for five years I think we can all agree that we’ll lose more every year hereafter. Things going bad has only started. May we live in interesting times.

Good Monday James,
Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Things are sure looking up. The G20 had a nice little meeting (the cookies and coffee were good I hear), the stock market is up today, we're a week away from some more "hope and change". Take some time to smell the roses. Just don't look at the US$ index and see that we've been sold down the river.
In answer to the millet question from Fridays Minions Comments--I do not think it will store as long as wheat and yes it is more expensive than wheat.
The reason I store it is because what going to happen when you eat your last bite of your food storage?
In my marginal climate with crappy soil, I can get a dependable harvest of millet. I've tried test plots of many different grains and millet is dependable and extremely easy to harvest (try growing buckwheat sometime--very hard to thresh). It grows in crappy weather and it taste pretty good (doctor it up like you would rice).
I store tons of wheat, beans and other basic food storage. But I store a little millet for survival gardening after the collapse. Nobody knows what it looks like and you can grow it in small patches right in plain site.

Well that rolling stone that gathers no moss is rolling down hill picking up a lot of crap. I don't think you could chip it off with a jack hammer.
So leads me to believe that we indeed need to worry about ourselves. Seems the government will sell us cheap.
Also would like to say this about that! There are no plans for survival that will be air tight. There are over 300 Million people here in the US. Unless a pandemic happens your going to have to fight off every known kind of vermin here. Your chances anywhere are so endangered. So you had better have your wits about you. Running or staying stationary have such horrible results if you haven't used your noggin'.
Even the most experienced, trained, supplied person is going to have trouble if it gets as bad as in could.
I recall you spoke in a post months ago about basically needing to be well prepared and fortunate enough that no one (or very few people) find you after things implode. Otherwise, you are in a dilemma. Turn away the refugees and wait for the return of even more refugees now that you are found... or commit murder as a preemptive defense. It's ugly either way.
"So if you and your butt buddy Bammy who went to Stockholm together to get his Nobel prize and stayed in a fancy hotel while you sucked the peanuts out of his ass"
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Best line yet, m'lord. Bravo! BRAVO!
Once again you have done a wonderful job. I woke up feeling pretty good and looking forward to the day and now I fight the impulse to end it all rather than face a future of eating nothing but god damn wheat.
I used to think there would be a black swan event that would just destroy civilization in a afternoon. Now I think the evil international bankers who rule the world with the help of the reptilian alien overlords will drag this shit out till we all give up.
I'm going to go have some strong coffee with thick cream and lots of sugar.Four eggs over hard,Yukon gold taters and a couple of pork chops. Hopefully,it will ease the pain of knowing we are so fucked.

Inspirational sir.
