What Is America’s Tipping Point-How Food Shortages and Riots Could Be Coming to America

When I discuss the increased possibility of food shortages and food riots happening right here in the United States, people look at me like I have lost my mind. How could that ever happen in the richest country in the world where we have so much food we export it to other countries? The answer comes as a shock to many people.

Food Riots Are Not Always About Food Shortages

Food riots are about panic, not always reality. The best example is the insanity that happens every year with Christmas shoppers on Black Friday. The video clips of people getting trampled for an Xbox or a Barbie Doll are all over YouTube.

The fact is that there are plenty of gifts for everyone to buy, but the fear is that you won’t be able to get the exact item you want, when you want and at the price you want. This is what turns normal people into crazed Black Friday shoppers.

Food riots are all too frequently the same. The fact is that most Americans have a 3-day supply or more of food in their homes, and even if they missed a meal or two, they would be fine. However, when the news reports come out that stores are running low and panic sets in, we learn firsthand that stores have only a three day supply of food at best on the shelves, and they can get emptied in a matter of hours during a panic.

Food Riots Can Cause Food Shortages

So the fact is that very often, it is not a food shortage that causes a food riot. However, as crazy as it sounds, the opposite can happen. A food riot empties out store shelves and then suppliers become reluctant to ship food the next day, causing a real food shortage. Why don’t they ship the food?

There are two reasons that suppliers get gun-shy about shipping their food to the stores in such a scenario. The first is the obvious concern for safety for the drivers. Everyone remembers how during the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles the truck driver Reginald Denny was dragged from his truck and beaten half to death.

The second reason is that if the panic is due to fears of an impending economic collapse, then suppliers are concerned that they may not get paid for their shipments if their customers go under during the turbulent economic events that are just unfolding.

Or, even if the customer is rock-solid financially, the fact is that prices can easily skyrocket in this type of situation, and shipping the goods next week instead of this week could mean a huge price difference.

So now that we have looked at the mechanics of how food riots and food shortages can happen suddenly, the question we all have to ask ourselves is how stable and secure is our country’s financial situation.

If we are confident that our leaders have everything under control and the national debt and the budget deficit are no big deal, and nothing happening with the Euro will impact us here in America, then we have nothing to worry about and there is no need to take simple precautions to protect ourselves.

However, for most Americans familiar with our economic state of affairs and the way our leaders in Washington are dealing (or not dealing) with things, that is a big “if.”

Epic collision: de-dollarization, OPEC cuts oil production, currency wars and Restrict Act

We have an epic collision of four powerful factors that are all pointing to the end of America as we know it (and the end of the dollar in due time).

First, global de-dollarization is rapidly accelerating as nearly every day, another nation announces it's ditching the dollar and carrying out international trade in its own currency.

Meanwhile, OPEC just dropped a bomb on the global economy by slashing oil production through the end of 2023. This will cause a spike in energy prices and push inflation even higher.

7 Things You'll Realize After Living Without Electricity

 

If you've ever wondered what it's like to live without electricity for a long time, just ask the people of Puerto Rico.* Many of them lived without power for nearly a year. And according to a Harvard study, the death rate in Puerto Rico nearly doubled after Hurricane Maria do to a lack of air conditioning and medical care.

It has been estimated that if the power went out all over the United States for a full year, 90% of the population wouldn't survive. That's how dependent we are on the power grid, which is a scary thought considering that a cyber attack or an EMP could bring it down at any time.

In this article, we'll take a look at some of the luxuries we take for granted. Here are seven things you'll realize after the power grid goes down...

The vulnerability of our national power grid is probably the most serious threat to our existence, and if it goes down, it can be even deadlier than the current pandemic.

When the power goes out, and people are left without electricity for long periods of time, they will panic, and things may never turn back to normal. Can you and your family survive a grid-down event?

8 Basic Survival Skills to Teach Your Children

As parents, we want to protect our children from harm. It’s in our DNA. So we diligently prepare for possible emergencies, and we educate ourselves on how to survive them.

Teaching your children to rely on you is a good thing, but we can’t possibly be with them at all times. Would your kids know what to do if they were on their own in a survival situation? If not, it’s time to teach your children some basic survival skills.

Your kids learn best by doing, so this spring and summer, make your camping and hiking excursions into opportunities to learn survival techniques. Even a walk in the woods can become a teachable moment as you share observations and information that could save their lives in a survival scenario...

The collapse of the dollar will be the collapse of the financial system, which will be very painful for a lot of people.  There are going to be millionaires and billionaires that could potentially be in food lines.  They are going to lose their wealth.

So sad but a core element of our demise has been the brainwashing of our younger generation [what we call the Terminal Generation]...since the 60s our education system has been hijacked by Marxists as has our media & many, many evil politicians.

The buying power of the dollar is declining before our eyes and explains, “A little over 15 months now, M2 money supply has contracted by about 5%. This is the first time since the 1930’s where money supply actually contracted. How is it the dollar is dropping in value versus other fiat currencies? The dollar is clearly dropping in value versus gold because we are over $2,000 per ounce, and inflation is really not abating. How is it that inflation is not abating if there are less dollars outstanding by 5%? You should have seen a decline in prices over the last 6 to 12 months, and we are not seeing that. . .

The new numbers have shown a comeback for inflation, surging to its highest levels in six months, and it’s now looking like there’s little chance our liar n chief can put this cat back in the bag.
Brace yourself-it will likely get worse under current feckless ‘leadership.’
