Two interesting developments tell the same story in a nutshell, for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. The first is the growing move towards gold by national reserve banks, rather than continue to put their trust in the US dollar. Central banks around the world are increasing the gold they hold… Continue reading Follow the gold, follow the food – they tell the same story

Food: higher prices, more shortages – and it’s not just inflation
Last month I published an article titled “Remember those warnings about the food supply?” In it, I noted: The fertilizer market is currently incapable of supplying enough product to meet demand – and that may affect next season’s harvest quite appreciably, not just in the USA, but worldwide. Now the Wall Street Journal warns… Continue reading Food: higher prices, more shortages – and it’s not just inflation
Good point!
Recce Rifleman posts this image from social media: However, he believes it leaves something to be desired: Please point to one societal collapse from the past 200+ years where these skills trumped combat skills. This point is certainly not putting down skills of growing food and general “survivalism,” but is pointing out that combat… Continue reading Good point!
Thanksgiving 2021
Despite all the “woke” nonsense that’s permeated our country, there’s still a great deal to be thankful for this year. I’m particularly grateful to God for my wife, our friends, the area we live in, and the blessings of being able to live relatively normal lives despite the disruptions causing such harm to so… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2021
Another factor in food production: giant corporate control
I’ve been reading extensively about factors affecting the food supply pipeline in particular, ever since this became an issue during the COVID-19 pandemic. I came across a very interesting article from 2011, examining the meat-packing industry and the problems it’s causing for ranchers and farmers. It’s ten years old, but from what I’ve been… Continue reading Another factor in food production: giant corporate control
If you don’t believe “preppers”, how about believing China’s official government warning?
One of the most frustrating things about warning readers to prepare for hard times, and to have at least 30 days’ food and other essential supplies on hand in case of emergencies or shortages, is the number of people who simply shrug off such advice. They counter that it won’t be that bad, or… Continue reading If you don’t believe “preppers”, how about believing China’s official government warning?
This funeral will definitely be in good taste
Food-lovers (particularly dessert-lovers) will be saddened to learn that the inventor of tiramisu has died. Restaurateur Ado Campeol, dubbed “the father of Tiramisu” by Italian media, has died aged 93. Campeol was the owner of Le Beccherie, a restaurant in Treviso in northern Italy where the famous dessert was invented by his wife and… Continue reading This funeral will definitely be in good taste
Eating your way to financial security???
I have to admit, this is ingenious – and an example of real “outside-the-box” thinking. Hungry for financial flexibility, a California man named Dylan shelled out a measly $150 a year to eat every meal at Six Flags Magic Mountain in order to save thousands, pay off his student loan debt, get married and… Continue reading Eating your way to financial security???
Here it comes: the shortages start to hit home – and so does the backlash
I was saddened to read a post by Linda Fox over at Liberty’s Torch yesterday evening. It bears out what I’ve been saying in these pages for a long time, and brings home the fact that food shortages are no longer just a prospect – they’re becoming a reality. Do please note her last… Continue reading Here it comes: the shortages start to hit home – and so does the backlash
Something fishy in the food supply pipeline…
The ingenious ways in which producers try to get around laws and regulations are on display in a customs dispute up in Maine. A customs dispute at the U.S.-Canada border is threatening America’s supply of a key fish used for popular products such as fish sticks and fast food sandwiches. The Alaska pollock has… Continue reading Something fishy in the food supply pipeline…
