I saw this WWII poster at Boing Boing and it really fits with what I have been working on and the fact that I haven’t bought any clothes for myself in years (you should see my worn out jeans).
Picture found at Boing Boing
The last thing I bought was a suit for a job interview four years ago. Other than a few shirts as Christmas presents, I have no new clothes. As a matter of fact, I did “inherit” some clothes when my Father-in-law passed away in July, but it was after the rest of the family scavenged thru and I received the left-overs. They got the clothes, best knives, and all the change he had saved for years (except for the pennies, which must have weighed too much for them to carry).
Today, I know that I must plant another garden, just to make sure we have food to eat next winter, for I suspect that food prices will skyrocket more than the 10-15% we have already seen this year. So, like every year, take a look at the preparation for BuelahMan’s Wicked Garden:

I know we have noticed in this household. Every penny counts with us and there are absolutely no “extras” that we can afford. As a matter of fact, my only real salvation comes from the fact that I grow a substantial amount of the food we eat and had planned to go bigger this year. This is now complicated because It appears I tore my Achilles tendon on Saturday, which will keep me off my feet for a while (going to the doctor today with money I don’t have to confirm this today).
My wife returned from the grocery store 2 days ago witha gallon of milk that cost over $3.50. Just three weeks ago it was less than $3.00.
Everything else is extremely high, but going up more. And we are not alone. Egypt, where we have been spreading Democracy for the past 30+ years to no effect have huge percentages of their income going to all food stuffs. And guess what, these are the primary reasons those people are revolting… not because they desire Democracy (especially the type that comes at the hot end of a rifle), but because they cannot afford to live and feed their families any longer.
Forbes Magazine tells us that corn is up 94% since June, soybeans are up 51% since June, and wheat is up 80% since June. This means that virtually everything you eat is rising with it (including the soon to be defunct “Dollar Menu” from that poison center, McDonald’s.
Prices on cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and asparagus (and many other vegetables) are set to double or triple starting right now (just go to the grocery store and see for yourself).
It looks like many of these items will be completely wiped out. In other words, you won’t be able to buy them at any price!
It is happening in India, as well:
Its happening in China, where they saw a 4.9% inflation in a one month period (if you do the math for the milk example I gave, you will see that it is an even larger percentage increase than 5%).

People are rioting all over the world (with a notable exception). And Americans are told that they simply need “democracy”. But I bet if you could ask those in Mozambique, Yemen, Algeria and virtually everywhere else in the world, our form of democracy is the very last thing they want. Like me, they want food for their family, no idiotic fantasy called American democracy (which, of course, WE don’t even have). Democracy doesn’t bode well in a Fascist State (just sayin’).
And I haven’t even begun discussing all the natural disasters that will complicate (even more) the food shortages and HUNGER the world is now experiencing.
Big Freezes in the SW USA and Mexico… floods in Australia…Excessive heat in S America… floods in Argentina… on and on and on. It all adds up to pricing that will make Egypt look like a dream world, once it fully hits.
Now, we have a corrupt government that WILL (not “might”) implement austerity measures here. But it won’t come at the cost of Empire. Oh, no, no. It will come at the cost of old people who count on Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security. It will come at the price of the poorest staving children in America dying. It will come in the guise of pulling up boot straps that are worn to a frazzle and are like an old piece of leather strapping… it falls apart with just a hint of a small tug.
But the question after all of this (and my YEARS of warning anyone who will listen): Will Americans’ Even Notice?
Probably not until it is too late (which it already is).
Good Luck! You’re Screwed!

In follow up to my Food Nazis post, I find that Max Igan gives us the only viable response to the S510 Food Modernization Act, which is for everyone to grow their garden in open defiance of this bogus “law”. Just ignore it and grow your food, which is a natural right. This won’t be much of a stretch for many of my older southern friends who grew up and likely still grow their own gardens. But for those city folk who have forgotten about self sufficiency, you should pay particular attention to what is transpiring and what it means to folks.
They are trying to control your food. All of it. They don’t want you to provide for yourself as the prices for their corporately run factory farm foods skyrocket, ensuring their profits are kept and you are poisoned.
