The computer has shown that this would be a cycle in commodities from 2020.05 into 2024 but it clarified this would be caused by shortages rather than a speculative boom. Simultaneously, it projected a rise in war and civil unrest simultaneously during this cycle. Those forecasts have been correct and I doubt anyone can argue against that fact.
I do try my personal best to interpret it correctly. I too am only human which is why I try to distinguish my opinion from the forecast. Because this cycle is a combination of war and commodity shortages that were set in motion by COVID, the risk of the Ukrainian war escalating out of control is serious.
The fact that the Pentagon refused to allow Poland to send jets and has refused to provide a no-fly zone despite the nonsense Zelensky, implies to me the US military is not trying to start WWIII despite all the stupid actions coming from Biden & co. Ukraine and Russia supply 30% of the world grain supply and the bulk of that goes to the Middle East. The longer this war goes on, the greater the food disturbances and that will only feed into continuous riots.
We need to follow the money trail behind Zelensky to get to the truth. He does not give up on trying to start WWIII. The question is why? Anyone with has a brain understands that if NATO grants any of his requests, then we are in an all-out war and China will be with Russia. That is not a happy ending.

Well at least we’re still the children what is important in life. So, there’s that.
Fucking fags are disgusting but sadly shit like this is just another symptom not the problem.
The amusing graph shows 2032 as the peak of western civ. au contraire I say. I can’t pinpoint that year exactly(the moon landing pulls it a bit past 1960) but we’re well on the downward slope now. And man are we ever picking up speed. You can live on your seed corn for only so long and ours is pretty much depleted.
IOW, western civ has jumped the sharks kiddies. Oh boy, wait until the dollar is no longer the reserve currency and that baby is in the batter’s box.
Gotta wonder how my dad and uncles would be taking this. 2 were on the ground in Europe, my dad flew bombers and another was island hopping in the Pacific.
The Useless Idiots should be waving the communist flag and getting ready for their liquidation.
And… its already strike two…
This is your nation on two party fake wrestling. A nation of ideas , they said.
I drive by this old farmhouse at the T of an intersection. When there were no cars home I observed a flood of rats in the door yard frolicking and doing what rats do uninhibited with an ample food supply.
Inevitably an exterminator is required.
Children’s well being is the hill we should be willing to die on.
Squirels?
The Medium is the Message.
Freedom Convoy causes tyranny in Canada.
Another Freedom Convoy appears to have inspired WWIII to avoid the confrontation.
We are in a world gone mad, a world where The Means Justifies the Ends. Perhaps, it is because the Message is the Medium now.
Think about it… Why would you believe anything Rachel Maddow says?
Think about it… Why would Rachel Maddow believe anything you say?
What if a significant number of truckdrivers decided to send the world a message by visiting their political leaders in as variety of peaceful ways and just when they were about to reach their goal, the most incompetent boob to ever reside in the White House since Ulysses S. Grant drank himself into a rambling stupor, what if that idiot prodded Russia into war with an ally. What if that idiot thinks NATO is anything but a good shopping TDY?
Spoiler: Grant may have drank too much at times, and tended to have a slurred voice after only one or two drinks, making many people believe him to be drunk when he was perhaps only tipsy. According to most opinions, he rarely drank when in the White House.
But, it made for a well-composed sentence, but in hindsight, I could find other incompetent White House boobs for comparison.
the most incompetent boob to ever reside in the White House since {insert incompetent president here} drank himself into a rambling stupor
So what if all of this actually CAUSES food riots in the days and months ahead, just as China and Russia emerge as the new world superpower alliance.
Talk to me about civil unrest then. Still waters run deep. Good neighbors respect one another’s fences. That is why good fences make good neighbors.
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It’s strange what desire will make foolish people do…
Not all together true Admin. The Amish rely on the services of people who drive cars/mostly vans to take them places rather like taxi service. It is a thriving business and at any grocery store in Podunk these vans are lined up waiting on Amish to do a large grocery shopping.
The Amish will pay more just like everyone else.
I’m sure they’re doing that for convenience now. They have back up plan for later.
Because it is winter dude.
Food riots? Sounds like those that are living in a city are pretty f*cked.
When there is no food in the cities guess where the malcontents will go! THE COUNTRY! In droves with guns! Be prepared to fight for that last cheeseburger as the elite sit in their hideyholes swilling down champagne and caviar.
For certain. We are as prepared as we are ever going to be. One advantage we have is almost everyone is on the same page in a 20mi radius. Even some that live near us will be a threat. I hope they either leave or get taken out first. As for the city stragglers…my biggest worry is with the blacks. They have that tribal instinct and have guns. They will loot and riot the cities and sub-urban areas. There will be some bloodshed in the rural areas.
When the SHTF then that age old adage of trust but verify will be shortened to verify first.
Some things my nieghbour has stated lately has removed him from the trust side to the holding my cards close to the chest side… We’ve prepared as best we can but like Tyson says, :”everyone has a plan until punched in the face”.
I’m beginning to think the mental prep is the bigger obstacle to over come. I’m ready as can be to defend my family and their provisions and do whats necessary, even extreme violence thats been locked away for a long time.
When a guy talks a tough game and folds like a cheap shirt on a perceived risk, then my trust level gets quietly drawn off the table. Just changes the trip line for bug out a little further out is all… sad…
I am referring to the number of people armed and ready to defend against the city hoodlums. As things progress and worsen I am sure they may become a threat themselves. I don’t have much trust in anyone honestly. I too have a neighbor that talked the talk all these years. Now he is showing his true colors after his wife left him and he cannot do a damn thing on his own. Always bitching and complaining. I keep my eye on him now.
To old to bug out. I will defend y castle till I see Jesus face to face. My life is in his hands..
Ditto here… I’ll defend with everything I have but at some point I may have to bug out… Not for myself but for the grandkids… I’m no use to them dead… Their dad is useless so we’ll have to step up there is all…
That “attitude” in year 2000 sent bullets at “associatives” i recall, and rather than “their” appointed “managements”…
Come get some.
The “malcontents” have no idea what is in store in “the country”
The “3 Esses” is what they’ll get.
Lets face it, we are a joke and a liability to the world with a hopelessly corrupt govt. Anyone with half a brain can see that our presidential election was stolen. Joe Biden got more votes than any other president EVER. Who would believe that except a “sold their souls to the devil” ?intelligence? community. They wouldn’t even consider the possibility and declared war and “sanctioned” anyone who suggested otherwise. What are we paying you clowns for? I suppose you were too busy promoting “diversity”, CRT and importing useless uneducated trash all over this once great land. You’ll all burn in hell for what you did and neglected to do. If you would have done your jobs, the Bush’s, Clintons, Obama & Bidens would all be in jail and the whole world wouldn’t be praying for Russia to nuke DC.
Let’s be clear, the whole world isn’t praying for a nuclear war with Russia, they are simply praying for a tactical missile to decimate the People’s House infested with CongressCritters while the President is mumbling to the entire assembly plus SCOTUS and non-elected Corruptocrats and the Joint Chiefs of Grift, including both Austin and Milley and any other bootlicking General you can cram in the audience, along with the PressCorps Whores.
Death within a quarter mile, no further.
That ends the nonsense.

New Constitutional Convention.
End of Problem.
A nice tidy solution but I do not trust today’s minds to concoct a better document than the one we already have but do not follow. Against constitutional conventions. If our own was properly wielded we could get out of this mess.
That works, too, but first the teensy tiny little bomblet.
😁
Kabuumba, the problem solving noise!
It appears to me that they cannot stop the agenda that they have promoted.For some reason they have to double down until the whole world is in flames.The great reset is the origin of all this and,,I think Klauss Schwab should at least halt his progress until we can get back to some sense of civility.He must see that his lieutenants are all barking crazy trying to put his ideas into a sphere of intolerance and are certain to culminate in destruction.Maybe he can be persuaded but,if not,our civilisation is going to die out and leaders will not be needed.
I can’t wait until there are food riots by Popeye’s / Burger King / Golden Corral / Pancake House, in the ghetto. All by people that are at least 100 pounds overweight.
Should provide some entertaining video.
While my son and I were in the Oklahoma City area, we stopped at what was once an Alberson’s grocery at the corner of 15th and Post Road (MWC) wanting to buy some loaves of that bread they sold every day by the hundreds of loaves fresh from their ovens, then slid into paper sleeve for easy pickup after work.
If you are an Okie and know the bread I’m talking about, tell me what Alberson’s you shopped at. Seriously good crusty bread.
The manager of the store talked to my son for quite a while, telling him they could no longer get the frozen dough used to make the loaves. (C’mon, even I knew they weren’t starting from scratch every day… that would be something the Amish do.) So, they stopped offering a lot of goods but he gave my son the name of the company that sold them the frozen dough.
It really was the best bread in town. I’m hungry now. I may make bread.
There will be no food riots at my house for quite a while because God has blessed me by giving me discernment when I asked for it and guidance when I did not.
On the recent trip to take my stepson some of the beef that fell into our freezer from heaven for $2.39 per pound including processing, we paid closer attention to those around us, moreso than usual, especially on the road between Oklahoma City and Tulsa and then to Joplin, I didn’t even stop at the big McDonalds across I-44, as I almost always did in the past. It looked kind of creepy to me and there were hardly any cars and very few trucks.
There were trucks on the road, but definitely not as many as one would normally see on the journey. It makes the drive more pleasant, but I did a lot of shopping while there and I saw what I saw.
I acted accordingly and after my son helped me load what I got at the US Foods Chef Store (I-240 and Walker) and we headed back to Tulsa to provision my new grandson’s parents for the next three months or so.
My son helped me load it all and when we were driving away, he simply asked if I was expecting a war.
Food shortage in the Middle East where the oil is.
Yeah I dont see that happening, but who doesn’t have oil and is no longer energy independent since Schmoe the Usurper took office?
Well, you know what they say but this is in America and we are always 3 doughnuts away from a RIOT!
Uh, I associate doughnuts with Cops who are OK in flyover country but we are probably in trouble if Popeyes runs out of fried chicken and the mini-marts run out of beer.
Let the parallel economies and societies begin. Smaller communities cooperating with one another to their mutual benefits are better.
