Food Prices to Rise 10-14 Percent by October

[SOCOM42]

Prices rising her are not the only problem... Lots of empty shelves at the nearest walmart... no cases of bottled water, no gatorade/poweraid, empty chip shelves... juices empty..

I didn't need any of that shit... just noticed is all

Well the water is down enough so that I could get out for here today.

I went to Walmart this evening, 5:30 our time, there were few people compared to noon time.

The shelves were reasonably stocked, short on a couple of items,

everything you mentioned was in full supply, full shelves.

The bread aisle was kind of short as usual, breadstuffs are outsourced to local bakeries,

and they only deliver once a day, early in the morning.

I was able to get everything on our list.

China, with China Joe Biden's approval would own our food supply.

Now I have a small farm, but this years rain would be slim pickins to last until next spring.

Again, back to logistics. There is a marked difference between owning them on paper and controlling the actual land. The only logistical way to do that is through the Chinese military or with US law enforcement or military, that's my point.

In a scenario where CONUS is in the middle of a Civil War, how likely do you think it is for the Chinese military to land on our shores, and get to our farmland? Let alone maintain a logistical chain to support them? Even the US military would find that impossible for any length of time or over a large enough area and this is our 'home turf,' where it is reasonable to assume many would know the area.

How often do you think the bank is going to be physically foreclosing on a property when their branches are on fire and their agents are disappearing?

"New" US military under a Biden like regime would do it for them.

under biden shit gone up on almost everything and news wont place the blame on who

now if this was under trump it be all over the news

Maybe, but what happens to the 'old,' military? Are they going to put a 9mm round in the back of their head along with their DD214?

I think the issue here is time. What would have worked in Europe with a populace that is used to subservience to the government doesn't work as well in the US where both sides of the political spectrum are used to giving the feds a big middle finger, it is part of our societal DNA.

If they had ten years to get everything in place, then maybe they could do it, but I think they pushed too hard under Obama and played their hand too heavy against Trump. These same tactics worked in Canada if you were watching, but they got massive pushback here in the states. A large part of that is how out Constitution is setup.

Just in case you havn't been shopping at the Market lately, beef prices are up almost twice what they were a year ago and bacon is up by almost 50%. Great Job oe and Dr Fauchi on making sure that we all suffer when it was totally unnecessary

The fact that Joe Biden is sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office today is proof that the American public has become subservient. We let an election get hijacked and let a President get sworn in that was NOT voted for by a majority of Americans. "We will get them next time" only works for so long, as eventually, there is no "next time". Alas, Babylon!

I don't think the bulk of people are subservient, I think they have lost faith in the electoral process, and there is only one course of action after that.

This is what truly scares me, and should scare many of us. We all know how truly fragile society is, how easily it falls apart whenever there is a crisis, real or imagined.

What happens when, let's say just %25 of the adult population, decides they no longer believe they should follow the government's laws?
What happens when we don't have just one Waco compound, but have dozens of them in every state? What about when neighborhoods in cities decide the same thing and start barring police officers?

You might say it cannot happen, but that is exactly what I saw in Baghdad and they were significantly less armed and less trained than the average American.

We let an election get hijacked and let a President get sworn in that was NOT voted for by a majority of Americans. "We will get them next time" only works for so long, as eventually, there is no "next time". Alas, Babylon!

What were we supposed to do, honestly? I'm not being flippant or a smart-ass, but this is the real question here.

Were we supposed to grab our rifles, body armor and drag politicians out of their offices then execute them in the street?
Should we have gone around to election official's houses, pulled them out and strung them over the highways by their necks as a warning?
Maybe we should have rioted, burned down our cities and attacked police officers?
We could have pulled a page from Sadr city and burned dissidents alive?

What, realistically, were we supposed to do within the limits of our current electoral, primary and two-party system?





I feel I may have derailed this thread in my bourbon fueled ranting, maybe a new thread? Thoughts?

I understand what juskom95 is saying, war doesn't make sense, but then again, it rarely does. I don't see a direct sudden attack by either Russia or China against the US. Certainly not an outright invasion. Rather I see a progression of events that leads us into war. We protect this, they protect that. One move begets another. There are a lot of points of contention between the 3 powers and a lot of fingers hovering over a lot of buttons.

No one believed WWII was coming except for a guy named Churchill and a few others. One move on top of another, whether it makes sense or not, war always comes. The chess game is being played as we speak.

That was kind of what I was meaning, but alcohol got in the way. I was trying to step out what I see as a rough timeline.

I think, when I get done today, I'm going to jot this stuff down and see how close I am in the future.

Yup. I think the Politicians believe they can 'buy,' China off.
