The Coming Starvation In America
The Coming Starvation In America
3 years ago while I was traveling in Brazil, a shaman friend of mine warned me of mass starvation, inundations, wars, riots and extreme violence all over USA, then at the end of the conversation, he stared into my eyes and said, ‘YOU WILL BE EATING YOUR NEIGHBORS!’

The government of the United States, by Law was to always maintain a three year mixed- grain survival storage for every man, woman, and child in the United States
Like most Laws of the land, the politicians never took heed as to why our wise ancestors had this reserve requirement established. It was to make sure, that, in the time of a National Emergency, the people had the most important mainstay needed for survival individually and as a Nation.Remember, the people make the Nation, the Nation does not make the people
In the 1960's and 1970's the different political administrations of Washington, D. C. walked away from sanity and started to give the surplus grains which where in elevator storage all over the country, to other nations, such as the Soviet Union, India, etc.. This continued over two decades, until the elevators were empty and the reserve of grains that were in reserve as per a national crisis.... were gone.Of course this was done as to enhance international "friendship" with other nations, even if those other nations were self-admitted enemies of the United States
Remember, there was enough grain in storage, paid for by the American tax- payer, to last the masses inside the United States for three full years, if need be But now it all is but gone!
By 1996, the United States Department of Agriculture (U. S. D. A.) claimed that there was enough food in ware-house storage to last every man, woman and child in the cities a 3 day supply and a 5 day supply for every man, woman, and child in the countryside, should a great national emergency occur.In other words, if food trucks stopped running, the food supplies for the masses would be 3 days in the cities and 5 days in the countryside
In 2003, the U. S. D. A. stopped measuring for "days in reserve" of food for every man, woman, and child in the United States because the amount of food in storage in the United States dropped under a 1 day food supply for every man, woman, and child in the United States. Thus, the U. S. D. A.started to measure in individual pounds as to how much food was in the food-chain per person in the United States as per 300 million people
In 2003, there was 77 pounds of food per person in the warehouse food- chain in the United States.What this means, is that during a national emergency, only 77 pounds of food per person is available before all food is TOTALLY GONE in the United States
By September of 2005, there is now only 15.7 pounds of reserved foodstuffs in the food-chain for every man, woman, and child in the United States. This means that there has been an 80% decrease in the past two years. That decrease is becoming greater with every passing day in the United States. Of the 15.7 pounds of warehoused reserved food-stuffs, 11.0 pounds of the 15.7 pounds consists of unprocessed wheat. The rest of the 15.7 pounds of survival foods in storage for every man, woman, and child, totaling 47 pounds, consists of the following foods:
1. Non-fat dry milk 2. Cheese 3. Corn by the bushel 4.Peanuts by the pound 5 Lentils by the pound
That's it folks ! . . . This is what the District of Columbia has set aside representing the 15.7 pounds in the survival food-chain for every man, woman, and child to stay alive on. This is not a daily supply, this amount represents the total food everyone will get for .... how long, who knows!
The U. S. D. A.Crop Production Report per September 12, 2005, contained said information, and this information was brought forth by Alan Guebert of the Farm & Food Report
Collective communist farming failed in the Soviet Union and communist China, and the present form of Collective Farming (paying the farmers not to grow food) has totally failed in the United States
Mr.Guebert also stated, that one more disaster as the likes of the hurricanes Katrina or Rita against the United States, or anything to compare to such in whatever way, would create such a food panic, it would make the New Orleans rioting look like the Mardi Gras
The United States Government for the past 75 years has been driving the United States deeper and deeper into the realm of communism. The United States is financially broke, the farms are broken down, the Nation has been de-industrialized, and the outsourcing of jobs continues to this day. Both corrupt federal administrations, the Democrat and Republican eat off the same plate.They have labeled that plate; "Screw the taxpayer, each and every one of them"
Our European ancestors were very wise, honest and full of common sense. They had food cellars where they had food canned, that could last them well over a year, insuring them that they would be able to plant a crop the following summer, and still be able to survive waiting for crops to mature and harvest.They did not rely on the corrupt politicians who are liars and thieves
But as I said, time passed by and the people put a false trust in their elected and appointed public servants thinking that these same people were looking out for their personal interests.How sadly wrong the people were then, and still are
In conclusion, I highly suggest that you pull your head out of the sand, check your food supplies, and if you do not have 6 months to a years food in reserve, then you had best sell something or do whatever you have to do, to immediately prepare yourself and your loved ones for safety If you can store two years at this time: DO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Remember, the 15.7 pounds of food in reserve is becoming less by the day, and at the present rate of speed, the United States is heading to what is called.... meal to meal.One more major disaster will drive the United States to its knees
The federal government, for itself, has millions of tons of preserved foods stashed away in underground storages, but this food is not for the masses, unless they surrender their firearms, and then they will get a food coupon from the *feds* to buy out of the federal government food warehouse wherever it is set up in your area
............. has always subjected and controlled the masses using FOOD. Remember, FOOD CONTROL IS PEOPLE CONTROL.New Orleans was your cue: Now prepare! You have been warned
Your blood is off my hands!

Some sought a cart of groceries the week before Thanksgiving, others sought a way to keep from losing their homes in the new year.By the thousands, a diverse group of Southern Californians converged on two events Saturday aimed at helping families in hard economic times
The problems, and the aid offered, were vastly different.But both reflected the worries and needs of many
In Montebello, nearly 5,000 turned out for a food giveaway, a number that stunned organizers who had tried to keep it a low-key event, targeting publicity to several churches and schools. But word of mouth proved stronger than a few fliers, and crowds inundated Montebello Park. A diverse mix of people stood in a six-hour-long line -- families from middle- and working-class communities, including Pico Rivera, Montebello, Norwalk and Whittier.No one left empty-handed, though
In Van Nuys, about 2,000 homeowners attended a workshop promoted as Home Preservation Day. But this was not about how to lay tile or install plumbing. A bank had mailed notices to homeowners in trouble with their mortgages, and Saturday offered them a chance to rework the terms of their loans. Bankers had hoped 100 would turn out, and planned for 200.Loan counselors had time to meet with a fraction of homeowners and some were turned away
Filling empty cupboards
Just a few paychecks ago, Betty Gillis, 44, was volunteering at a food pantry, handing out food to the needy.Saturday, she found herself on the receiving end of a food giveaway
Last month, the Whittier pharmacy technician was juggling two jobs to support her disabled husband, mother-in-law, and college student daughter. But her full-time employer cut her hours because there were too few customers.Her bosses also required her to work on weekends, forcing her to quit her second job -- and the money ran out
So on Saturday, Gillis stood in a block-long line at Montebello Park and accepted a cart-full of groceries for Thanksgiving week
"My daughter asked me the other day, 'Are we so poor that we have to stand in line for food?' And I said, 'Yeah,' " Gillis said
The scene in Montebello reflected the crisis confronting local food banks struggling to keep up with demand that has surged more than 40% since last year, according to Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.New to food lines are middle-class families -- including some that until recently earned $70,000 a year
"We're used to seeing low-income people and seniors on a fixed income coming in.Now we're seeing more and more middle-class people coming in -- people who just lost their job, are trying to pay their mortgage, or tapping into their 401(k) because of the huge financial losses," said Darren Hoffman, a spokesman for the regional food bank
Saturday's event was sponsored by Heart of Compassion, a Montebello faith-based nonprofit food bank.Organizers were surprised by the large turnout -- more than double than expected -- because they did not heavily advertise the event
But before dawn, a line of 500 had already gathered in the park for the 10 a.m. opening. By noon, thousands of people stood in the warm November sun.Those in line hardly spoke, gazing into the park or holding on to restless children
When they approached the makeshift food bank -- a collection of blue-and-white tents in a parking lot -- each family took a metal shopping cart and steered it down a line of volunteers, receiving bags of oranges, cantaloupes, celery, cereal, tomatoes, pumpkin pies, yogurt, bottles of cooking oil and loaves of bread, among other items
Natalie Gomez, 25, held her purse and a single balloon for her 4-year-old daughter, who fidgeted during the five-hour wait.The Montebello woman said her husband's employer, a printing company, cut his hours because of decreasing business
"It's my first time here at an event like this," said Gomez in a quiet, tired voice
Martha Garcia, 36, of Pico Rivera, said she needed the donated food to offer some semblance of a feast this week.Garcia said most of her money is being saved for her 10-month-old son, who needs surgery
The donated food will help, she said.But there were no turkeys available
"On Thanksgiving," she said, "I won't have enough food"

PLATTEVILLE, Colo.-- A farm couple got a huge surprise when they opened their fields to anyone who wanted to pick up free vegetables left over after the harvest -- 40,000 people showed up
Joe and Chris Miller's fields were picked so clean Saturday that a second day of gleaning -- the ancient practice of picking up leftover food in farm fields -- was canceled Sunday. " 'Overwhelmed' is putting it mildly," Chris Miller said."People obviously need food"
She said she expected 5,000 to 10,000 people to show up Saturday to collect free potatoes, carrots and leeks. Instead, an estimated 11,000 vehicles snaked around cornfields and backed up more than two miles.About 30 acres of the 600-acre farm 37 miles north of Denver became a parking lot
Miller said they opened the farm to the free public harvest after hearing reports of food being stolen from churches.It was meant as a thank-you for customers

Want one more palpable sign of a desperate economy?
An estimated 40,000 people came to a Weld County farm Saturday to collect free potatoes, carrots and leeks
Cars snaked around cornfields and parallel parked along Colorado 66 and 119 early in the morning to get free food from the Miller family, who farm 600 acres outside of Platteville, about 37 miles north of Denver
As this prolonged Indian summer continued, the Millers had decided to give away produce because so much was left over at the end of their annual fall festival.Any day now, a few deep freezes would kill it off
They expected between 5,000 and 10,000 people spread out over a couple of days.Instead, they found themselves on Saturday morning inundated with cars and people with sacks and wagons and barrels ready to harvest whatever was available
The Millers canceled the second day of the giveaway originally planned for today because, as Chris Miller put it, "the pickins' are very slim now"
At one point, 30 acres of family farmland had become a parking lot. Their crowd estimate of 40,000 plus was based on the number of cars.Sheriff's officials said they "wouldn't be surprised" if that count was accurate
Traffic was backed up almost to Interstate 25, and police ticketed people who had illegally abandoned their cars in the frenzy
"Overwhelmed is putting it mildly," Miller said."People obviously need food"
Evidently, Platteville isn't the only place where this is the case.Last week in Denver, thieves broke into freezers owned by the Park Hill Grandparents Organization and stole Thanksgiving trimmings — including more than a dozen frozen turkeys — set to be donated
And in Lakewood on Saturday, people lined up in the dark at 6 a.m. to collect Thanksgiving boxes, donated by the Jeffco Action Center.By the end of the day, 5,141 people had gotten food — the biggest demand in 40 years
At the Miller Farm, it never got truly unruly
They had friends and family members help direct cars.Sheriff's deputies cruised up and down highways trying to move traffic along, after fielding complaints from neighbors
The family makes most of its money in the summer and fall, visiting 42 farmers markets a week, and hosting a fall festival where relatives charge an entry fee and then teach people about where their food comes from
Normally, any unpicked produce goes back to the land.But after hearing reports of food being stolen from some nearby churches, the Millers decided to let people take what they wanted for free
Sandra Justice, a Greeley resident who works at a technology company, brought her mother and son to pick potatoes.The price was nice, she said, but Justice also enjoyed picking her own food in these downtrodden times
"Everybody is so depressed about the economy," she said, noting she hauled off about 10 bags of vegetables. "This was a pure party.Everybody having a great time getting something for free"
