German Government's Plans to Seize All Farms in Crisis
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/i...rms-in-crisis/

"Merkel’s Federal Cabinet has decided on new plans to supply the population in disasters … The draft law adopted on Wednesday according to participant data provides inter alia new powers … farms or other foodstuffs can be confiscated in order to ensure the nutrition of the population. The emergency plans are to take effect if a large number of Germans can no longer cover the free market with food. … the Ministry can only prescribe that only large retail outlets are opened. As a measure against looting, the law provides the submission of food under state supervision. In addition, usury prices should be avoided by means of fixed quantities or fixed prices. …"

Because state price–fixing and confiscation of food supply has been such a successful record from Stalin to Mao to Kim to Castro and many others including the recent example of Venezuela (and soon to add Merkel to the list?). Yes Comrade Merkel, choose a dictatorial oppressive strategy proven to starve only tens of millions of lives by the most conservative counts. Maybe Merkel

The draft law adopted on Wednesday

I'm having trouble finding material for this.

Well, it has been successful - smashingly so.

Successful for Stalin, that is - and for Mao and Kim and Castro and many others.

(Successful for the tens of millions who starve[d], though? Not so much ...)

My response to this, short of leaving Germany, would be a denial strategy. I'd rig my stores to burn prior to confiscation, and I would salt the earth such that it would bear nothing for a thousand years. Then I'd leave Germany, having left a really entertaining good-bye note for the thieves.

a joke Russian MP Zhirinovski told live on Russian TV:


Merkel comes to Washington DC and Obama takes her on a tour to his bunker and says:
- This is my Green button. If I press it, Africa is destroyed.
This is my Yellow button. If I press it, China is destroyed.
And this is my red button. If I press it, Europe and Russia are destroyed.
Merkel replyed:
You know, back in Berlin my Grandmother had a gold toilet bowl, a silver toilet bowl and a platinum toilet bowl.
But when the Russians came to Berlin in '45, she $#@!ted her pants right in the hallway!

(russ humor lol..)
