Food Rationing: Problem, Reaction, Solution Politics
Posted by Carol Webb on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008
It doesn’t give me any pleasure to write this article. Food shortages are about to become part of our everyday consciousness, instead of a reality that some of us believed to be inevitable, but others believed impossible.
When you walk into your supermarket and see bare shelves and ration notices pinned up, it could cause the fear reaction which creates panic. Not good for you or your family.
Be Prepared
Slowly stock up with those groceries that although won’t taste good, will provide nourishment. Beans, lentils, flour, dried milk, dry pet food etc. If you buy cans make a note of the sell-buy date.
Population Control
By reading between the lines, we might have expected this situation. Alex Jones has told us many times that the Illuminati want to eradicate the middle-class, and that food shortages would be one of the tools used to achieve this.
Problem, Reaction, Solution Politics
You need to understand though, that this is not a famine. This is a controlled event. Problem, Reaction, Solution population control.
- First, create a problem, in this case a food shortage by paying farmers not to plant crops, and buy increasing demand by using food to create fuel.
- Then blame it on the citizens of the industrialized world. By feeding off our guilt for being obese and ignorant gluttons, shift the blame pushing us morally and financially to give up our relative lavish lifestyles.
- This will in turn lower our standard to living to a more tolerable level for our elites. After all if we are not going to take up the responsibility of self-determination and allow ourselves to be subjects, why should we live any better than the slaves in the “developing world”.
Protecting Your Plot
Do we really want to allow ourselves to expend energy on protecting our food with shot-guns in the way that the farmers in Thailand are willing to do:
In Thailand, farmers are sleeping in their fields after reports that thieves are stealing the rice, now worth $600 a tonne, straight out of the fields. Four people have died in Egypt in clashes over subsidized flour that was being sold for profit on the black market. There have been food riots in Morocco, Senegal, and Cameroon.
Blowing In The Wind
I have to say that: “It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow someone some good.” And in this case Monsanto will reap exactly what it has sown. If there are food shortages, manufactured or otherwise, are we going to eat genetically modified food or go hungry?
GM Cuts Crop Yields
The Hidden truth here though is that genetic modification actually cuts the productivity of crops, an authoritative new study shows, undermining repeated claims that a switch to the controversial technology is needed to solve the growing world food crisis.’
Big Pharma’ (pharmaceutical companies) will benefit too: Are we going to submit to vaccinations for manufactured dis-ease, or are we going to starve?
Alter DNA By Feeding GM Foods
The study – carried out over the past three years at the University of Kansas in the US grain belt – has found that GM soya produces about 10 per cent less food than its conventional equivalent, contradicting assertions by advocates of the technology that it increases yields.
Professor Barney Gordon, of the university’s department of agronomy, said he started the research – reported in the journal Better Crops – because many farmers who had changed over to the GM crop had “noticed that yields are not as high as expected even under optimal conditions”. He added: “People were asking the question ‘how come I don’t get as high a yield as I used to?’”
The new study confirms earlier research at the University of Nebraska, which found that another Monsanto GM soya produced 6 per cent less than its closest conventional relative, and 11 per cent less than the best non-GM soya available.
The Nebraska study suggested that two factors are at work. First, it takes time to modify a plant and, while this is being done, better conventional ones are being developed. This is acknowledged even by the fervently pro-GM US Department of Agriculture, which has admitted that the time lag could lead to a “decrease” in yields.
Veri-Chip manufacturer ‘Digital Angel’, will feed you and implant you without charge. Are you willing to stand by and let your family starve, or accept the chip?
The chip works both ways, as any radio will with modification, adding to their ability to control the population. Perhaps Americans will be required to relinquish their guns? Would that be preferable to starving?
All of this was planned many years ago, and boasted about by Illuminati front man Henry Kissinger. Another example of a plan for population control being hidden in..’Full View’.

Headline Check
I was dubious about this next headline as I couldn’t find a reliable source, but Presidential Candidate ‘Ron Paul’, cleared up the issue with his statement that Canadian troops will be used…In the event of martial law.
Canadian Troops To Patrol US Cities As Food Riots Feared
An estimated time-line in these reports states that the American people could begin seeing Canadian Soldiers in their cities as early as this summer, as many experts are predicting that the massive food shortages being reported all around the World will begin causing food riots in many American cities.
Republican Congressman Ron Paul recently appeared on nationally syndicated radio and again reiterated his deep concern that foreign troops are mobilizing outside and inside America to be used as assets in a martial law takeover by the Bush administration.
The USA would need foreign troops because they are engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it now begins to make sense why they are kept there. Americans wouldn’t shoot Americans, but Chinese troops would. I’m less sure of Canadians…but of course their families would be fed!
Here are 2 articles, 1 from America and 1 from Japan. I’ve checked and re-checked and they both appear to be from adequate sources, and as such require our attention and deep consideration.
International Herald Tribune quote:
Soaring food prices and global grain shortages are bringing new pressures on governments, food companies and consumers to relax their longstanding resistance to genetically engineered crops.
In Japan and South Korea, some manufacturers for the first time have begun buying genetically engineered corn for use in soft drinks, snacks and other foods. Until now, to avoid consumer backlash, the companies have paid extra to buy conventionally grown corn. But with prices having tripled in two years, it has become too expensive to be so finicky.
Food Rationing Confronts Breadbasket of the World
By JOSH GERSTEIN, Staff Reporter of the Sun | April 21, 2008MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Many parts of America, long considered the breadbasket of the world, are now confronting a once unthinkable phenomenon: food rationing.
Major retailers in New York, in areas of New England, and on the West Coast are limiting purchases of flour, rice, and cooking oil as demand outstrips supply. There are also anecdotal reports that some consumers are hoarding grain stocks.
At a Costco Warehouse in Mountain View, Calif., yesterday, shoppers grew frustrated and occasionally uttered expletives as they searched in vain for the large sacks of rice they usually buy.
“Where’s the rice?” an engineer from Palo Alto, Calif., Yajun Liu, said. “You should be able to buy something like rice. This is ridiculous.”
The bustling store in the heart of Silicon Valley usually sells four or five varieties of rice to a clientèle largely of Asian immigrants, but only about half a pallet of Indian-grown Basmati rice was left in stock. A 20-pound bag was selling for $15.99.
“Due to the limited availability of rice, we are limiting rice purchases based on your prior purchasing history,” a sign above the dwindling supply said.
A store manager referred questions to officials at Costco headquarters near Seattle, who did not return calls or e-mail messages yesterday.
An employee at the Costco store in Queens said there were no restrictions on rice buying, but limits were being imposed on purchases of oil and flour.
The curbs and shortages are being tracked with concern by survivalists who view the phenomenon as a harbinger of more serious trouble to come.
“It’s sporadic. It’s not every store, but it’s becoming more commonplace,” the editor of SurvivalBlog.com, James Rawles, said. “The number of reports I’ve been getting from readers who have seen signs posted with limits has increased almost exponentially, I’d say in the last three to five weeks.”
Spiking food prices have led to riots in recent weeks in Haiti, Indonesia, and several African nations. India recently banned export of all but the highest quality rice, and Vietnam blocked the signing of new contract for foreign rice sales.
“I’m surprised the Bush administration hasn’t slapped export controls on wheat,” Mr. Rawles said. “The Asian countries are here buying every kind of wheat.”
“There have been so many stories about worldwide shortages that it encourages people to stock up. What most people don’t realize is that supply chains have changed, so inventories are very short,” Mr. Rawles, a former Army intelligence officer, said. “Even if people increased their purchasing by 20%, all the store shelves would be wiped out.”
At the moment, large chain retailers seem more prone to shortages and limits than do smaller chains and mom-and-pop stores, perhaps because store managers at the larger companies have less discretion to increase prices locally.
Mr. Rawles said the spot shortages seemed to be most frequent in the Northeast and all the way along the West Coast. He said he had heard reports of buying limits at Sam’s Club warehouses, which are owned by Wal-Mart Stores, but a spokesman for the company, Kory Lundberg, said he was not aware of any shortages or limits.
For now, rice is available at Asian markets in California, though consumers have fewer choices when buying the largest bags. “At our neighborhood store, it’s very expensive, more than $30” for a 25-pound bag, a housewife from Mountain View, Theresa Esquerra, said. “I’m not going to pay $30. Maybe we’ll just eat bread.”
Japan is suffering because they produce very little of their own food. There are many other countries who have used and abused the farming community until they have been forced to sell their land for building, ‘affordable housing’. I have watched the UK doing this for years.
Japan Runs Out of Butter
Japan’s acute butter shortage, which has confounded bakeries, restaurants and now families across the country, is the latest unforeseen result of the global agricultural commodities crisis.
Last week, as the prices of wheat and barley continued their relentless climb, the Japanese Government discovered it had exhausted its ¥230 billion ($A2.37 billion) budget for the grains with two months remaining. It was forced to call on an emergency ¥55 billion reserve to ensure it could continue feeding the nation.
