Deadly Harvest

Dear Reader,

I hope that since you are reading this you are preparing. I cannot tell you for certain what is going to happen but, it is going to be interesting.

In the best case scenario there might be rationing of basic food stuffs in that you will only be able to purchase what you and your registered family can consume in one week.

This has happened in history time and again even to us Western societies that everyone complains are so decadent because it has not happened in the last 50 years. You will not be able to stock up, and if you prepare now then you can have supplemental calories on hand to help your family through the tough times.

During the First Depression there is many documented cases where workers were laid off and had to survive on government handouts to feed themselves and their families. When contracts were finally made and work resumed the workers could no longer do an actual days labour anymore because they were too weak.

An extra bag of rice, flour, sugar, dried green peas or lentils, box of salt and honey bought every week up until the time that they are needed will go a long way to helping yourself. These will store safely for years if kept dry so do not worry about them if you do not get to use them this winter.

Forget tinned stuffs unless it is basic soups or vegetables otherwise they cost too much for the food value that they give. A kilo or two of basic powdered soup bases is better and good too.

You can stretch your groceries by making soups instead of full course meals.

Simply basic stuff is what is important.

If you feel that you need chips or pop to keep you alive then you have never lived without and had to really survive. Good luck with that.

If this happens then you will have time now to prepare unless you already are, Good for you if that is the case.

If the government implements rationing then there is hope that maybe they will have enough organization to feed your whole country. The biggest thing is that they might actually acknowledge that there is a problem. Please do not bet your life or your families that big brother will take care of you.

Should the government decide not to ration when there is obvious short supply, and should they decide not to tell you what is going on, then imagine what it is like when a front line soldier who is asking for help on the radio is ignored by the officers and is left to explain his actions to the enemy who has surrounded his company and is intent on rendering him lifeless.

You will be expendable. If you have not picked up anything else on Levi's site then let it be that.

I am hearing different things about harvests around the world. I can tell you that here in Canada it is no different. When only half of the crops got planted in springtime (due to wet weather) I was worried.

I am talking an area the size of Europe that did not get planted.

Now that it is harvest time I am even more worried. The crop yields of the grains that have come off are 2/3'ds of what is normal per acre. But since we only got half the crops planted that makes it 1/3 of a normal crop.

Now we have wet weather on the Prairies.

Normally this can be handled but it is so wet that many farmers cannot get out onto the fields. There is grain that was swathed for harvesting but is now sprouting on the field from the moisture.

This cannot be used for humans.

Not to mention the amount that is going to be wasted on ethanol.

One friend of mine never even got anything planted. Every one is hoping for next year. Not to be a party pooper but it takes months to grow a crop.

This is not sprouts which you can eat in a week. When the government not-so-strategic food reserves run out the only thing available will be what you put aside or each other.

I know that I can skip a day or two without food, but six months will be stretching it.

The way it works is that when our harvest comes in we export to other countries, and when they harvest it is sold back to us so that we always have fresh harvest available. This is how our world's population grew so fast.

Globalization.

But when everybody has a bad year it only takes a couple of countries to upset the apple cart. ie.
Russia banning wheat exports, our crops failing. It would be very interesting to get the real numbers out of the USA this year too.

The only option the PTB will have is to implement a global war. Not one that destroys everything, but one in which many cities and their excess non productive populations can be removed from the equation and any shortages can be blamed on somebody else and what they did to collapse the food chain.

If they can feed 1 million people for 3 months why not kill half and have enough till next harvest? or better yet kill 3/4 and everyone left can eat for a year. Kill 9/10 and you have 2 and a half years to rebuild. Blame the bad crops on HAARP from Russia or China. Blame the lack of fuel on the war.

I used to wonder why they were building micro sized ethanol plants in towns every hundred miles in my area until I found out that the method for cracking the canola oil is the same as for crude oil and that is found all though the region.

The rebuilding will be done small scale, with every little fiefdom having its own refinery and military outpost. This also explained why the local governments have spent so much money building hurricane proof and self contained community/emergency buildings on the Prairies. Our local storm that damaged Yorkton on July 1st may have been a test case for the effectiveness of the local control.

When Levi mentioned that he was thinking of leaving the UK I wanted to ask him to come and live here and help out as only someone like he can. But the more I see going on the less I think that he would even have anything to do with the insanity that might be coming here.

(I still would, I would even find him a place to live if he wanted, maybe even help him with other essentials should he feel it necessary, just not a girlfriend that is his own problem)

It all makes me think of an old movie that was banned here in Canada years ago. Deadly Harvest. This movie was based upon the idea that a new ice age was forming and many of the worlds crops failed in one year.

The government in the movie hid the facts from the people. There was no where near enough food saved to keep everyone alive. When global food production stopped then all deliveries stopped. The people in the cities raided the countryside for food, while the military controlled the cities.

Deadly force was common, as was criminal control of the food. Clint Walker, played a farmer who was only trying to protect his family. Most city folk have played Doom or paintball, but most Country folk have had to rely on their own skills to either put meat on the table or remove unwanted animals from their property at least once.

Now I understand that some of you will not like this, some of you will think me blowing smoke, some of you think that I am a redneck country boy truck driving survivalist and have no place in a new age site and should stick to reading Guns n Ammo (which I detest).

But I read what you say and find hope for mankind.
It takes all sorts to make the world go round.

You are necessary too.

I want to see 2012 for all of mankind, my own curiosity drives me crazy. If everything should fail we can rebuild a new place for our loved ones and future generations to live in. If not then we can all live throughout the tempest and have a new understanding of ourselves and be better able to teach those who come after so that they can live the best lives possible.

But to see what happens after, we must be prepared to live through it.

Love and light will not fill an empty pot.
Nor protect you when seconds count and the police are minutes away. Sometimes when the Universe is trying to tell you something for your own good it is saying you must do it yourself.

At the very least buy a $10 slingshot and a bag of marbles. Just do not use it on me.
