The Global Food Crisis Economic Collapse and Survivalism
News items on the "global food crisis" are a little thin at the moment: the media is having an orgasm over Obama and the US Presidential elections so they have taken a break from serious reporting. Nevertheless, all the important articles which I have read predict that hungry times are ahead due to a series of factors - rising Third World population levels, the rise of meat eating in India and China, the use of food for biofuels and speculation. Bulk US food retailers are rationing rice and that's just the start.
Although we at this blog would like to see an in-gathering of our folk in a new homeland in Russia, first we need to survive long enough to get up the momentum for change. That requires short-term survivalist measures. Don't panic but slowly stock up on long-life food items and put these items in vermin proof containers (powered milk, packages of dried beans, lentils, flour etc.) Get a vegetable garden going if you can. You may in time, experience the joy of having a full belly while your enemies starve.
