Obamao's regime is determined to undermine our capitalism
-
Inflation is beginning to be noticed all over the country...
and globally, they say there is a looming food crisis.
And our dollar is being intentionally devalued.
And our debt is completely unsustainable.
If our country gets hammered by runaway inflation, riots by union thugs like in France
after further benefits are not gained from the Obamao regime,
all of our families can be in jeapardy.
The gov can't bail all of us out on food. And the video clips show Van Jones and other communists/socialists
talking about needing serious unrest to manipulate a move further to the left. One prominent commie
even said if violence is needed, that is what they need to do.
I believe we are in serious trouble, and this corrupt president will exec order us right to the edge of our
having lost our freedoms entirely.
Please consider stocking up on food, etc. It can't hurt, but if worse comes to worse, you will
be saving your family's well-being. It also wouldn't hurt to get a gun for home protection.
The money has completely been thrown out the window to the point of us not being able
to get our county back.
BTW, a bag of corn and wheat unground, will last a long time. You just need a hand grinder,
or maybe an electric grinder, and have a generator.

Be Prepared: An Introduction to Food Storage
November 19, 2010 - 1:30 ET
In the age of the 24 hour supermarket, food storage may seem like a crazy concept. But economic forces are converging in such a way that skyrocketing food prices no longer seem like a possibility, more and more they appear to be an impending certainty. While Glenn could be wrong about inflation, there’s no harm in being prepared. Don’t be the person holding up a sign looking for help, be the person with a life raft. Look at the information on food storage and decide what’s best for you and your family.
THINGS TO CONSIDER
- No refrigeration, plan for emergency assuming no electricity.
- Be nutritious, there may be some more physical activity required (ie. Blizzard requires more shoveling)
- Keep calorie count
FOOD
- Recommend you start with 2 week supply of food
- Good no-cook food items
- Energy bars / breakfast bars- Almonds- Peanut butter- Tuna packages- Canned pasta- Dried fruit / canned fruit- Dry milk- Instant coffee- V-8 juice- Plan around the way you already eat.
- Build around 3 categories of food
-Grocery store goods: often inexpensive, and it’s all familiar stuff. (i.e. mac & cheese)-Freeze dried foods: lightweight and don’t take up much room. more expensive up front, but priced out per serving, it’s budget friendly.-Bulk dry food: rice, beans, dehydrated fruits and vegetables, cornmeal, wheat, dried milk, etc. It will be the backbone of your food storage and last up to 20-30 years.- Don’t stock up on it unless you know you like it.
- Look at ingredients. You don’t want something high in sodium or preservatives
- Pay attention to shelf life. Take a look at package, can. Soup doesn’t need water and can store this for a few years. Plastic bags and cardboard boxes – 1 yr max
WATER
- Easiest way to store is by using cleaned out 2 liter soda bottles. You can easily clean out with hot water, drop of soap. Rinse thoroughly. That type of plastic is safe for storage.
- Recommend 2 liter soda bottle / per person / per day. For consumption and washing.
- If a situation where water is an issue, be sure to have stash of paper plates & freeze dried meals.
- If you can heat water, then at least you can enjoy a hot meal (i.e. mac & cheese, pasta, soup)
STORAGE
- 5 main enemies to storing food
-Temperature: ideal is 40 degrees - 72 degrees.For every 18 degrees above 72, food will lose its’ nutritional value by half-Humidity:Store food off the floor and away from outside walls-Pests: Keep food in air-tight containers clean up food particles on the shelves or floor-Oxygen: Use oxygen absorbers, rotate food, vacuum packing food to reduce oxidation-Light:Keep your pantry area dark. If food is in clear containers, keep them in labeled boxes with lids.- Look for places where can you declutter (I have water bottles stored under my kids’ beds)
- You can store food in bin under a bed, clear out space in closet and designate a shelf.
- I recommend pieces of furniture that can double as storage. (i.e. Bench that opens up with a storage component – especially good for small homes)
- Store in a place that you won’t be dipping into constantly.
NON-FOOD ITEMS
- Items like toilet paper, can be bulky but it can be stored in garage, attic, shed, etc. moisture will affect it but temperature won’t.
- Non-food items, purposefully 1-2 weeks supply
- Go through entire day and jot down every non-item used. Soap, shampoo, contact solution, etc. buy extras of those.
- Keep easily organized in buckets (i.e. dental, laundry, etc.)
- Give serious consideration to how your family will cope when power is down. Communication, entertainment, What would we do to take care of pets? Keep things cool in the home, etc?

I live along the coast and we try to always be prepared due to hurricanes. If you have lived in a city where you had to go not just a few days but weeks without power. You will learn that you do not want to have to rely on FEMA or any other organization.
But I do understand what Cal's warning is about, needless to say many will not listen.
How many have a few bill$ put back in case you need to leave an area and the power is out and you will not be able to rely on your credit/debit card.
Senario: What if gas went beyond the $4 a gallon mark again, lets say it shot up to over $6 bucks a gallon. Will we still see the surplus of food and goods on the shelves of our local food chain? inflation is bad, but not everyone considers the deflation of the dollar and how it can criple a country.
