"'socialist policies' will cause food shortages" (this is absurd)

i see the word 'socialist' bandyied around a lot on this and other forums. it seems to be equated with 'satanism', or something like that. americans even commonly refer to the democrats as 'socialist'.
it's really clear that most americans have no idea what 'socialism' means.

the highest standard of living is not enjoyed by americans, but by the swedes and norwegians, who have socialist governments.

Regardless of what term is used, the New World Order is what we have to deal with. The term used is not important and will get us tangled up in a useless argument.

That's what gets my goat every time.

Socialism isn't perfect but to see it bandied about in the same breath as satanism? That's just absurd.

No need for politics on this thread.

Take it or leave it. Take responsibility for yourself or not. It's your choice to ignore or to take action.

I think that food shortages (created by disruptions to the normal distribution channels) are a very likely feature of the future array of inconveniences to beset many people.

It will probably be a major catalyst to awaken the remainder of the sleepers. Hunger is pretty hard to ignore.

It is my sincere hope that at least one person benefits from the resources on this thread. If that happens, it's worth the effort.

I know I could if I could just push myself to stock up on a few months of food in advance. Always some kind of mental block getting in my way.
