It appears that rather bad things loom on the not-distant horizon. Two years of effectively shutting off the world economy does not come without consequence.
Consider that China is no longer exporting fertilizer. Dozens of facilities for the production of basic commodities have gone up in flame, from foods to energy. Hand those occurrences to the actuaries and see what they would have to say about the odds of all that happening in the numbers and time frame.
We are being set up like bowling pins. Michael Yon seems to suspect that we have passed the economic tipping point. If he is correct, and I cannot find too much in his assumptions and logic that would strongly suggest otherwise, then great woes are inevitable, and not far off.
Consider the utter disaster unfolding in Sri Lanka. I've been in the software game a long time and one thing you never do is a flash cut into a major dot release. You ease into them, module by module and wait to see how things go so that you can readily back out in the case something proves verily amiss. So then ask yourself how could it be that the "government" in Sri Lanka bid their entire agricultural establishment cut over 100% to "organic" farming from one season to the next? NOBODY is that stupid, not even Sri Lankan "government" people. Therefore, this had to have been the product of informed malice. Can't be proven, so I will not beat that horse. But the fact remains that they are staring down the barrel of a punt-gun. When the famine comes, twenty million people will be wailing, gnashing their teeth, and perhaps eating their neighbors.
The filthy Dutch "government" has bid their farmers divest themselves of their cattle herds. Nederland is a dairy nation. My aunt is Dutch and she is appalled at what is happening. At 96, she sees with clear eyes what is going on and just yesterday told me that Brussels is attempting to kill off the indigenous Dutch in favor of the invading Muslim horde.
Panama is blowing up over... <drumroll>... FOOD.
Venezuela is lost.
Europe is about to get knocked on its ass, particularly if the predictions of an especially cold winter come to proof. What will one billion Europeans do? What will they do when America can no longer deliver LNG to them, not only for heat, but fertilizer production. Natural gas is absolutely critical for the production of synthetic soil amendments. If those are not available, hundreds of millions stand to starve.
Africa is a hot mess, as usual, but at least many of those people know how to live skinny, so they may actually fare better than the "first world" which has grown dependent - INTER-dependent. We stand soon to see first-hand the folly that is global interdependence, a concept against which I have railed since the first days. Vertical economic integration is an absolute must for any nation that wishes not to fall victim to circumstance or the caprice of a trading partner.
Hey there, Hawaii! They import 90%+ of their food. Imagine what it will be like when real shortages hit. People will flee that place for all they can swim. The sharks won't be able to keep up.
As mentioned, China is no longer exporting fertilizer, and I have heard they have stopped exporting food as well, though I cannot verify this. Anyone? But if true, your pants should be filling to the waist-band because it is a major indicator of what the Chinese are anticipating.
And what of the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline in 80 meters of Baltic Sea, a place known for dangerously strong currents? No Arab terrorist committed this act. This has the stench of a state-actor all over it - but who? USA? That would be an act of war against its own allies, not to mention Russia. Russia? What have they to gain?
Regardless of who did it, repair will take likely months, unless they have some very clever tech of which I am not aware. Nonetheless, fixing the breach is only half the battle. Purging the line not of just water, but seawater, which is endlessly corrosive. It would have to be flushed out for salt and then purged of moisture. I cannot imaine that taking anything less than a long time, long especially for shivering Europeans who have stupidly placed themselves at Russian mercy.
The disrupted supply chain in America is having palapble effects on farming here. We are currently eating into food stores. Some ranchers have culled off some or all of their herds. What will the sub/urbanites do when all the money they have will get them no bite to eat? We here are looking at big violence as sub/urban populations go full-panic for want of basic sustenance, if the claims of commodity disruption are true.
So what are we going to do - and here I mean not only short-term, but for the long? There are so many related questions, we could talk about this for days and weeks with no repetition. The devil is in the details, and there are so very many of those in play now. If some of the assertions are true, then we stand the chance of getting a first-hand lesson in just how tenuous our positions as living entities truly have become. We hang by threads, and have done so basically all our lives. But so long as that teal BMW could be had on demand, why worry?
In longer terms, what will you do in terms of altering your mental posture? Or will your gratitude for survival drive you to tolerate business as has become usual, bending over for the Tyrant when littleTyrant wakes up for some action? Will we as a people, those who might survive the apocalyptic events to come, learn anything worth learning? Will we readjust our attitudes to ones of utter and absolute intolerance of the intolerable? Will we embrace true liberty? If so, will we learn what needs learning in order to become free and remain so? Will we grow the stomachs to physically slaughter all who approach Patrick Henry's "altar", without reservation or remorse for becoming monsters in the face of threat?
We've been trained away from physicality by those in whose interest it lies for us to reject such measures. I say that we must become monsters of violent physicality when any threat to our sovereign liberties and the rights that evolve therefrom, arises. Those who so much as suggest such violations should be thrashed to within inches of their physical lives. Those who act should be killed outright, with neither hesitation nor compunction, for to tolerate the least trespass into one's rightful territory is to cede the point for all such incursions. Once a precedent is set in principle, establishing what then must perrforce be arbitrary lines in the sand becomes indefensible in principle. If Theye may go this far, then why not a mite further? The boundaries were set by God, if you will forgive my term. To cede the least epsilon to another is to cede all in principle. This is why we must be monstrous in the defense of our boundaries, literally destroying the physical reality of any and all who will not heed our warnings to stay on their sides of the fence.
Furious defense of self, family, and commnuity are the only ways that Theye who now fear us not, will be restrained. Such people must fear not only for their own miserable lives, but those of their entire families. There was a very good reason why entire families would be wiped from existence back in the old days. It was as much a warning to all comers of what awaited them in consequence for any hanky panky, as it was a material deterrent to vendetta. I submit that in this sense, our ancient forebears were far wiser than are we who are poisoned with the false egalitarianism of the progressive left, who have so successfully softened us to the point we no longer respond to direct threats against the children we so hollowly claim to love.
Choice stares us all in the face. We stand at a nexus, right here, right now. You WILL choose, by force of will, or through its absence. Either way, you will choose. So what shall it be? Will we as a population choose the way of the cowardly serf, or will be alter our minds in quantum fashion to choose the Freeman's life over that of the Weakman?
The globalists are waggling their willies in our faces, piecemeal removing the means of producing the basics for getting between days. They are doing it in blatant fashion, and thus far we are sitting idly, allowing it, save for a few brave and worthy souls in places like Nederlands, but they are not of sufficient mass, especially in the face of a state clearly willing to wage whatever violence they must to remove so much as the appearance of any challenge to their false authority.
We need numbers and those numbers need knowledge of basics that have been denied them. They need courage alien to most of them. They need measured and controlled rage against Theye who endeavor on this very day to bring their children to alienation and destruction. They need to become united in the posture of the Freeman; the peaceable warrior who wishes nothing more than cordial coexistence with his neighbors, but who has trained himself in the various disciplines of warfare and who will hesitate no whit to destroy all who threaten his sovereignty.
Again I ask, what will we do?
