What I do know is, we can not trust the prevalence of external sources to feed ourselves. While it may not seem too bad at the moment, there are reasons to be concerned. We must think seriously about these matters and continue efficiently and quietly prepping.
There is currently too much noise and fluff out there to extract something useful from most reports. We will have to wait a bit longer. While you wait, I suggest checking the economic news as often as you sanitize your hands. I have posted official information here that is grounded in facts. My research has resulted in trustworthy information gathered from reliable sources. Whether you trust them or not, that’s up to you.
Have food prices been affected?
An article posted on the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition website mentions that food prices seem to have not been deeply affected on a global scale at this time.
While economic models suggest Covid-19 will not have a major impact on global food prices, it is anticipated to put upward pressure on food prices in some areas of the world. Similar food price shocks have had large consequences in the past.
This article also mentions critical data that was missed and a new tool developed to help fill in that data. GAIN took a look at the data and determined the price of many food items have indeed gone up in all countries due to the pandemic.
What about farmworkers from the south and the food supply?
NPR (National Public Radio) explains:
About 250,000 workers came to the U.S. on H-2A visas last year, the majority of them from Mexico. They’ve become an increasingly important piece of America’s food industry.
Also reported by the NPR was the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City suspended non-emergency visa appointments out of health concerns. However, farm employers were notified that most of the farmworkers would still be able to get visas. Business as usual, so it would seem. Yet there is still this fear of lack of food supply.
Things will change. They always do.
We preppers face things like this differently. However, I have discovered non-preppers are selling their properties and heading to the hills. This is an excellent attitude to have for those who can. It will also diminish pressure upon the existing production infrastructure and even provide some positive flow of products to the local areas, which could need it.
Nearly everyone is seeing shortages of imports.
In 2012 we had everything we wanted to buy in my piece of heaven. Now, most of the food is imported or incredibly expensive. As far as I know, all of the pasta, rice, cornmeal, and other local products that once were enough are now luxury commodities. As I’ve mentioned, vast fortunes keep being made with the importers. It’s highly suspicious to learn that most of this trade comes from Turkey. (Yes, the same country where Nicolas was seen enjoying a Cuban cigar while devouring a large steak prepared by the infamous Salt Bae in a luxury restaurant.)
Tough times produce tough people.
One of my friends has already started his business producing, bottling, and selling mayonnaise. Another of my friends, who I mentioned before, has thrived because his family owns a bee farm. I told him when gasoline started to become scarce to get rid of his sedan and replace it with a good diesel SUV, but he didn’t listen. Now he’s struggling, but still getting ahead, to distribute his product. The pandemic gave the ruling communist party a perfect excuse to impose travel restrictions from one municipal entity (like your counties in the U.S. or parishes in the U.K.) to another.
If someone in 2012 had told me that our almost entire food production and importing network was going to crash, I would have listened. I knew that many dirty business were going on with the oil revenues. Our local food production wasn’t enough. It hasn’t been for some time, as the population grew a lot between 2000 and 2010. People migrated from farming lands to the oil-producing states, making it necessary to import products like meat, milk, and rice from Argentina, Uruguay, and other Southern countries. These products sold at a loss, in the (previously State-seized) supermarket chain targeted to function as a tool in the domination and subjugation scheme. The scheme was to control the food supply and starve those who dare to refuse the imposition of the socialist party line.
What should be the next course of action?

We have witnessed these last few years an awesome setup of industries being born: the agricultural robots, vertical automated farming (as inefficiently from an energy perspective as it is at the moment), and similar initiatives.

We strongly recommend that you purchase certain items every time you visit the store to rebuild your personal stockpile while you can.
Does fear generate empty shelves syndrome?
According to an article on the USDA blog, data currently available shows the U.S. will remain “well supplied, and food will continue to be affordable.” Nonetheless, shelves in many parts of the US continue to be bare. Stores are still rationing certain items. The report offers other reassurances, including the fact that all industries in the food supply chain have been deemed essential and excused from any shelter-in-place orders.
Another possible explanation for the empty shelves is many restaurants have closed or are going out of business. People are going to buy much more food at retail stores. But this seems to be temporary.
Still, I find it concerning to read posts in our Facebook group reporting that meat and fish processing plants have been closed due to a high infection percentage of employees. If those plants are not subject to shelter-in-place orders, are those infected people at work? I have not read anything about the pandemic sweeping out an entire crew. Not yet.
Learn to adapt to the reality surrounding you quickly.
You have to adapt to the new rules.
Fear-based or not, food prices are going to be higher, thanks to uncertainty being much higher. No matter your degree of confidence in your food supply, it would be best to be as independent as you can be. All of my plans have not resulted exactly as once thought, but that’s OK. I can adapt myself to the circumstances, and keep moving.
My dear readers, for the first time in many years, I believe, it’s not a professional degree that is going to bring food to your table. It’s not even if you are smarter or stronger. Maybe those with money will have it easy for some time. But, I believe having a variety of skills is your best survival tool. Skills used to do something with added value: transform raw materials, or grow some kind of commodity.
Welcome the change and make changes.
After being locked down in their own houses, people who never saw the need for prepping are now researching bugout locations, city bunkers, BOVs, alternate energy sources, and learning about what they consider useful…maybe for the next disaster. People are preparing for the next event because it is coming. And this preparedness takes the pressure off the emergency teams and organizations, allowing the redirection of resources and time for those who really find themselves in trouble.
The more food we produce for ourselves and others, in addition to the development of our own careers, will add value that is hard to quantify. Enough with the industrial big agro! It’s time for self-sustainable farming, where everybody must collaborate.
Be safe! And don’t forget to stay tuned!

Nick will be sharing trades and concepts and discussing current trends. Today we discuss:

Remember, the state of California is the 5th largest economy in the world. This type of thing happens every options expiration.
2. Bank earnings are starting to be reported. Earlier today, JPM, WFC and C all reported earnings. I really don’t care what the company says, but the reaction in the stock is what matters. The financial stocks have been market laggards since June 8th, 2020. JPM and Goldman are the most important names to watch in the sector. Nick is looking

Retail stocks are also catching a bid. CAT is up 3%, John Deere up and Honeywell also up. You need to take a broad stance.

Jon Miltimore, managing editor for the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE.org), has done amazing work on explaining the numbers behind the Coronavirus disaster. Unfortunately the mainstream media hasn’t bothered.
They’re tied to the narrative that things are getting worse and worse. And that doesn’t appear to be the truth. In fact, while confirmed cases may have greatly increased, hospitalizations and deaths have declined greatly. The science of keeping track of the virus has devolved into a political contest.

Insider trading data and filings show that $274,423,314 worth of shares were sold between July 2019 and July 2020. What isn’t shocking is that there was only $999,989 worth of shares bought on February 18, 2020 from insiders, specifically Director Sagan Paul.
Not shockingly,

In Australia, anyone traveling from Victoria, or people who have visited the state in the past 14 days, are barred from entering Queensland unless they are returning residents or have a rare exemption. They fined a group of people $24,000 for trying to enter Queensland and lying about where they had been. This is no longer a government that respects people or human rights. They are using COVID as an excuse to be draconian to the point that historically such governments have always been tyrannical.

The Queensland police are being extremely nasty fining people $4,000 if they try to enter Queensland. One must wonder at what point do such tactics invoke extreme violence? Police officers who protect the government like this are often seen as the face of tyranny. They should be very careful when a line is crossed and the people turn against the government, because that is when the police will find themselves hunted as traitors to the people.

investmentwatchblog--2020-07-16--US Trade Is Crippled by the American Government, Not the Chinese

Some fair-weather friends of free trade have been rethinking their positions in the face of supposed Chinese economic weaponization of pharmaceuticals .
They are now embracing managed trade instead .
Why ?
Consider the following threat made by Tsinghua University ’ s economics professor Dr. Li Daokui : “ We are at the mercy of others when it comes to computer chips , but we are the world ’ s largest exporter of raw materials for vitamins and antibiotics….Should we reduce the exports , the medical systems of some western countries will not run well.
” He recently espoused this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Conference in China .
As a result , US spokesmen are running scared .
For example , according to Rosemary Gibson , a senior adviser on healthcare issues at the bioethics-focused Hastings Center , “ Medicines can be used as a weapon of war against the United States.
” So , should we limit free trade with China to t-shirts , toys , swimming clogs , and other nonessentials , but set up protective tariffs against the importation from there of important products such as medicines ( and also face masks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more self-sufficient ) ?
This would certainly promote domestic production .
This argument is buttressed by the fact that China has been exporting gargantuan percentages of medicinal drugs used in the US , for example , ibuprofen ( 95 percent ) , hydrocortisone ( 91 percent ) , acetaminophen ( 70 percent ) , penicillin ( 45 percent ) , heparin ( 40 percent ) , according to Commerce Department data .

In what way , then , has government interference with economic freedom rendered us more vulnerable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thing , there are price gouging laws .
If not for them , Americans and other non-Chinese entrepreneurs could rev up these industries in about five minutes .
Ok , ok , that is an exaggeration , but only a slight one .

Some fair-weather friends of free trade have been rethinking their positions in the face of supposed Chinese economic weaponization of pharmaceuticals. They are now embracing managed trade instead. Why?
Consider the following threat made by Tsinghua University’s economics professor Dr. Li Daokui: “We are at the mercy of others when it comes to computer chips, but we are the world’s largest exporter of raw materials for vitamins and antibiotics….Should we reduce the exports, the medical systems of some western countries will not run well.” He recently espoused this intimidation at the very important National People’s Conference in China.
As a result, US spokesmen are running scared. For example, according to Rosemary Gibson, a senior adviser on healthcare issues at the bioethics-focused Hastings Center, “Medicines can be used as a weapon of war against the United States.”
So, should we limit free trade with China to t-shirts, toys, swimming clogs, and other nonessentials, but set up protective tariffs against the importation from there of important products such as medicines (and also face masks, surgical gloves so as to become more self-sufficient)? This would certainly promote domestic production.
This argument is buttressed by the fact that China has been exporting gargantuan percentages of medicinal drugs used in the US, for example, ibuprofen (95 percent), hydrocortisone (91 percent), acetaminophen (70 percent), penicillin (45 percent), heparin (40 percent), according to Commerce Department data. Overall, China accounts for some 80 percent of the US supply of antibiotics.
No, this mercantilist argument must be rejected. Protectionism interferes with worldwide specialization and the division of labor that undergirds a growing and prosperous economy. Adam Smith said it pretty well a couple of years back: the wealth of nations emanates from economic freedom in general, and from free trade in particular.

We must realize that unrestricted international trade is only part of laissez-faire capitalism. If its other roots are cut off, then, yes, the case for tariffs looks stronger. In what way, then, has government interference with economic freedom rendered us more vulnerable to these Chinese threats?
For one thing, there are price gouging laws. If not for them, Americans and other non-Chinese entrepreneurs could rev up these industries in about five minutes. Ok, ok, that is an exaggeration, but only a slight one. If there were no limits on the prices that could be charged by domestic producers, it would be wildly profitable for them to step into the breach and undercut any Chinese threat of this sort.

Our pharmaceutical industry is “fighting” the Chinese in this economic “war” with both its hands tied behind its back. Hey, I could beat heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in a boxing match if he were similarly handcuffed (and he weren’t allowed to hit me with his stomach).
The economic analysis of this issue is akin to the one correctly employed regarding the Standard Oil antitrust case of 1911. Rockefeller was indicted for engaging in predatory pricing. He was accused of lowering prices in one small area of the US way below the costs of production. He would suffer a temporary loss financed via his far-reaching oil refinery empire.

investmentwatchblog--2020-07-16--Former Trump national security advisor John Bolton is a swinger

Ever noticed that many rabid anti-Trumpers are moral degenerates ?
Here is another example .
John Bolton , 71 , was George W. Bush ’ s UN ambassador , and briefly President Trump ’ s national security advisor ( April 2018-September 2019 ) until he “ resigned , ” reportedly because Trump refused to give into Bolton ’ s “ neo-conservative ” war-mongering .
Bolton is an advocate for “ regime change ” in Iran , Syria , Libya , Venezuela , Cuba , Yemen , and North Korea .
After he effectively was fired , Bolton publicly turned against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scathing ” book on Trump that the President ’ s attorneys are trying to stop from being published on the grounds that the book contains classified information .
In June , in an interview with the UK Telegraph , claiming that Trump doesn ’ t “ represent the Republican cause that I want to back ” — read : war-mongering — Bolton said he ’ ll vote for Joe Biden this November .
( Note : Telegraph later amended the article to Bolton saying he will not vote for Trump . )
On @ @ @ @ @ @ @ & Nights published a blind reveal that John Bolton is a swinger .
So I went on the net to try to verify the blind reveal , and found several reports ( Daily Kos , New Zealand ’ s Scoop News ) confirming the reveal .
The reports all cited pornographer Larry Flynt as the source .
Below is Flynt ’ s account : May 11-LOS ANGELES – Court records concerning the divorce of John R. Bolton , the Bush administration ’ s nominee to become the next ambassador to the United Nations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ couple ’ s marital home when he was traveling abroad in mid-August 1982 .
The records further show that she took most of the couple ’ s furniture .
Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton ’ s first wife , Christina Bolton , was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations .
Mr. Flynt has obtained information from numerous sources that Mr. Bolton participated in paid visits to Plato ’ s Retreat , the popular @ @ @ @ @ @ @ City in the late 1970s and early 1980s .
“ The first Mrs. Bolton ’ s conduct raises the presumption that she fled out of fear for her safety or , at a minimum , it demonstrates that Mr. Bolton ’ s established inability to communicate or work respectfully with others extended to his intimate family relations , ” said Mr. Flynt .
“ The court records alone provide sufficient basis for further investigation of nominee Bolton by the Senate.
” ( Click here for court records ) .
Mr. Flynt continued , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United Nations must be free of any potential source of disrepute or blackmail.
” Mr. Flynt has contacted the State Department asking that they confirm or deny the allegations of Mr. Bolton ’ s prior conduct concerning his wife and the alleged paid visits to Plato ’ s Retreat .
He has also called upon the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to conduct an inquiry into the very serious evidence concerning his first wife ’ s fear of him .
Neither the State Department nor the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has yet responded to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hustler magazine publisher demanded an immediate response from Mr. Bolton .
Mr. Flynt has personal knowledge about sources corroborating the allegations of nominee Bolton ’ s misconduct , and he has called upon these persons to publicly come forward with their information .
“ First wife Christina Bolton has understandably remained silent on what led her to flee her husband of 10 years and to take the family belonging with hers .
A full inquiry would necessarily involve meetings with Mrs. Bolton to uncover the circumstances of her flight and the Committee should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mr. Flynt said .
Mr. Flynt has no further comment at this time , except to ask that the press examine the attached court document pertaining to Mrs. Bolton flight from her home .
Mr. Flynt is awaiting further leads regarding Mr. Bolton ’ s private behavior , at which point he will have more information to convey .

On July 11, 2020, Crazy Days & Nights published a blind reveal that John Bolton is a swinger.
So I went on the net to try to verify the blind reveal, and found several reports (Daily Kos, New Zealand’s Scoop News) confirming the reveal.
The reports all cited pornographer Larry Flynt as the source. Below is Flynt’s account:
May 11-LOS ANGELES – Court records concerning the divorce of John R. Bolton, the Bush administration’s nominee to become the next ambassador to the United Nations, show his first wife fled the couple’s marital home when he was traveling abroad in mid-August 1982. The records further show that she took most of the couple’s furniture. Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton’s first wife, Christina Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations. Mr. Flynt has obtained information from numerous sources that Mr. Bolton participated in paid visits to Plato’s Retreat, the popular swingers club that operated in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s. “The first Mrs. Bolton’s conduct raises the presumption that she fled out of fear for her safety or, at a minimum, it demonstrates that Mr. Bolton’s established inability to communicate or work respectfully with others extended to his intimate family relations,” said Mr. Flynt. “The court records alone provide sufficient basis for further investigation of nominee Bolton by the Senate.” (Click here for court records). Mr. Flynt continued, “The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations must be free of any potential source of disrepute or blackmail.” Mr. Flynt has contacted the State Department asking that they confirm or deny the allegations of Mr. Bolton’s prior conduct concerning his wife and the alleged paid visits to Plato’s Retreat. He has also called upon the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to conduct an inquiry into the very serious evidence concerning his first wife’s fear of him. Neither the State Department nor the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has yet responded to Mr. Flynt’s inquiries. The Hustler magazine publisher demanded an immediate response from Mr. Bolton. Mr. Flynt has personal knowledge about sources corroborating the allegations of nominee Bolton’s misconduct, and he has called upon these persons to publicly come forward with their information. “First wife Christina Bolton has understandably remained silent on what led her to flee her husband of 10 years and to take the family belonging with hers. A full inquiry would necessarily involve meetings with Mrs. Bolton to uncover the circumstances of her flight and the Committee should subpoena her in private session,” Mr. Flynt said. Mr. Flynt has no further comment at this time, except to ask that the press examine the attached court document pertaining to Mrs. Bolton flight from her home. Mr. Flynt is awaiting further leads regarding Mr. Bolton’s private behavior, at which point he will have more information to convey.

As people continue to push back and question the mainstream media ’ s official narrative , YouTube continues to take down those people ’ s channels .
Freedom of speech has been dead for a while , and if you haven ’ t noticed yet , it ’ s time to open your eyes .

Dan Dicks who created Press for Truth was removed and banned from YouTube .
When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they have something to say that you should probably pay attention to .
Dicks spent 14 years “ pressing for truth ” and exposing the governments , elitists , and central banks plotting to take over and enslave humanity .
Dicks has a channel on Bitchute , which seems to be one of the only platforms where censorship isn ’ t possible since it ’ s decentralized .
It won ’ t be long before YouTube is nothing more than makeup tutorials and mainstream media .
Nothing outside of the government ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are nefarious things happening behind the scenes , hence the blatant censorship .
Banned Video : Get Ready For The Great Reset Max Igan , SILENCED For Speaking Against Slavery of Government Anyone who speaks out against the enslavement of mankind is being silenced right now .
There ’ s no excuse for this .
YouTube has chosen the side of slavery for all of humanity and has made that very clear .
It doesn ’ t matter whether you believe what anyone has to say or not , the fact that people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ banned should tell you something .
If you can ’ t see it , or choose to look away , enjoy your chains .

Max Igan, SILENCED For Speaking Against Slavery of Government
Anyone who speaks out against the enslavement of mankind is being silenced right now. There’s no excuse for this. YouTube has chosen the side of slavery for all of humanity and has made that very clear. It doesn’t matter whether you believe what anyone has to say or not, the fact that people with largely the same message are being banned should tell you something. If you can’t see it, or choose to look away, enjoy your chains.

Millennial renters who were in the market pre-Covid just abandoned their home buying plans .

Millennial renters who were in the market pre-Covid just abandoned their home buying plans.
A lifestyle survey shows millennials top the list of those canceling home-buying plans.
At the start of 2020, 11% of renters said they were ready and planning to buy a home this year, according to a recent survey conducted on RENTCafe.com. Conditions were looking up for Gen X renters, 15% of whom were making plans to buy a home this year, as well as for 14% of Older Millennials. However, the pandemic has obstructed the path to homeownership for 43% of renters ready to buy, our survey results revealed The survey, which ran at the end of May 2020, asked 7,000 renters about their housing plans before and after the coronavirus hit.
One in Ten Renters Were Ready to Buy a Home
43% of prospective home buyers who said they changed their plans quoted economic uncertainty as the top reason for doing so, followed by loss of income as the second most cited reason. Given the unprecedented times we’re living in, even the few renters who were determined to make the commitment to buy a home this year are now getting cold feet. Moreover, as many as 50% of Older Millennials, the most likely demographic to become homeowners, were forced by the pandemic to let go of their dream.
The Math
11% were planning to buy a home. 43% canceled those plans.
Is the net impact 0.43 * 0.11 = 0.0473?
I suspect that is on the low side but even a 5% impact is significant.
Of course we are dealing with surveys as well. And we have not seen a sustained 43% decline in sales.
We will know much more in 6 months or so.
Other Plans
Half of Baby Boomer renters expressed no intention of ever buying again. The less costly, more convenient renting lifestyle may play a role. With renter households over 60 increasing considerably in the past decade, Boomers seem to be getting more and more comfortable with renting.
1/4 of Renters Will Never Buy a Home

Moving is a pain in the ass.

I speak from recent experience having just driven a U-Haul from Illinois to Utah these past four days.
That applies moving from house-to-house or apartment-to-house or any other combination. But a owning a house ties you down. If we do not like Utah we can try another place. That is not so easy if you own a house.
We left with an unsold house but we do own it free and clear, except of course for property taxes which are monstrous in Illinois: $15,000 a year on a $400,000 home.
Until I am convinced I have found the home I want to die in, put us in the never buy again category.
It Takes 3 Weeks to Escape Illinois
Why 3 weeks? That’s how long it takes to reserve a one-way U-Haul outbound.
“Everyone is leaving. No one is coming,” a U-Haul agent told us a few weeks ago.

This week the U.S. made it clear it is prepared to stop Communist China’s slow invasion of the South China Sea.

AMERICA MOVES TO PROTECT THE SOUTH CHINA SEA FROM COMMUNIST CHINA : Four years ago this week , the Chinese Communist Party declared war on international order in the form of a blunt rejection .
On July 12 , 2016 , The Hague ’ s international arbitral tribunal , relying on the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea treaty ( UNCLOS ) , issued a ruling supporting the Philippines ’ claims that China had violated Filipino territory in the South China Sea by seizing islets and “ sea features.

Despite having signed the sea treaty ( which meant accepting the arbitration process ) , the Chinese government callously ignored the verdict and disdained the court ’ s authority .
China ’ s blunt rejection of the decision stunned the Filipino government and alerted other nations on the Pacific Rim .
The Beijing regime not only broke a major treaty it had ratified but also openly maligned legal procedures created to promote peaceful resolution of international disputes .
Beijing ’ s thuggish rebuke sent the message that Chinese whim backed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economic power determined sovereignty in the South China Sea .
Reneging on treaties , spurning just verdicts and , of course , seizing territory without suffering severe consequences tells China ’ s leaders that its opponents are weak and lack the will to resist .
Undermining , co-opting and ultimately dominating global diplomatic and economic institutions ; public and private organizations ; and methods of interaction is another CCP goal .
Revealing weakness forwards this line of operation .
On July 13 , 2020 , Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China Sea that specifically aligns American policy with the tribunal ’ s decision .
“ Beijing ’ s claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea are completely unlawful , as is its campaign of bullying to control them , ” Pompeo said .

Even scarier than the pandemic for some in this country is the idea that they may have to actually get up off the couch, look for employment once again and earn money the old fashioned way: doing something productive.
It’s now less than 14 days until Americans surviving on $600 per week in extra unemployment benefits could see their “lifelines” come to an end. The program, which was designed to increase unemployment during the pandemic, has accounted for a majority of the Treasury’s $100 million in jobless payments last month and is scheduled to end before August, according to Bloomberg.

At the same time these benefits end, the Fed will continue to pump billions, if not trillions, into capital markets, facilitating an even further spread between the “haves” and the “have nots” in the country. For many Americans, it also means that they may have to dive into the meager savings they have.
