Revolution: Food Riots Are Coming
Revolution in West is last major sign before the three days of darkness

Note: Not an endorsement
The economy is $19 trillion dollars in debt, we have a $240 trillion dollar unfunded and mandated set of liabilities (e.g. Social Security) and the 800 pound gorilla in the room is the $1.5 quadrillion dollar credit swap derivatives debt on a planet whose entire GDP is just $70 trillion dollars. It is only a matter of time until this house of cards come crashing down around us. When that day comes, our food vulnerabilities will be exposed first and foremost.
The Baltic Dry Index
The best measure of the health of the world’s economy is the Baltic Dry Index (BDI). After reaching record lows in March of 2015, the BDI briefly rallied. However, that rally appears to have been no more than the traditional “dead man’s bounce”.BDI Reports indicate another downward spiraling plunge is underway, once again.The major danger associated with a flat BDI is that it indicates that credit is hard to obtain. Obtaining credit is a prerequisite to shipping product, namely, food. According to the persistent low BDI figures, America is an economic setback from the total disruption of food shipments.A record low BDI is a bigger threat to the American people than the military activities of the Chinese and the Russians. Americans could go to bed this Friday night and by Monday, the food shelves could be empty. Mass starvation would commence within days. This is America’s biggest national security threat.
America’s Food Vulnerability
In a case of “defend the nation and starve”, military families are feeling even more stress from not being able to obtain sufficient quantities of food as 25% of America military families require outside assistance in getting enough to eat. What does this say about an administration which uses our soldiers to defend the nation and then kicks them to the curb by denying their VA health benefits as the government also starves their families because they cannot survive on what we pay our soldiers? This is disgraceful, but it is the Obama fundamental transformation of American way!
America Has No Way to Keep Up with Food Inflation
Late last year, the New York Times, stated that the typical American family is now worth 36% less than it was worth only 10 years ago! Shockingly, one out of every six men, ranging in ages from 25 to 54, are not employed. Median family income in the United States is 7% lower than it was in 2000.There is no way that the majority of American families can keep pace with food inflation as the wages of Americans are now inversely correlated with the rising food prices. This is a prescription for disaster. The most vulnerable to starvation within the present economic climate are the children as an amazing twenty six percent of all children are living below the poverty level.With these kind of distressing statistics, a significant number of Americans are vulnerable to politically motivated “food blackmail” in these times of economic distress.
There is historical evidence that food vulnerability may have been planned for a long time by elements of the U.S. government.
The US Government and Its Food Deprivation Policies
The
use of food as a political manipulation tool, by the U.S. government,
has been a matter of official U.S. governmental covert policy since
1974-1975.In December, 1974, National Security Council directed by Henry Kissinger completed a classified study entitled, “National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.” The study was based upon the unproven claims that population growth in Lesser Developed Countries (LDC) constituted a serious risk to America’s national security.
In November 1975 President Ford, based upon the tenets of NSSM 200 outlined a classified plan to forcibly reduce population growth in LDC countries through birth control, war and famine. Ford’s new national security adviser, Brent Scowcroft, in conjunction with then CIA Director, George H. W. Bush, were tasked with implementing the plan and the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture assisted in the implementation of these insane genocidal plans.
NSSM
200 formally raised the question, “Would food be considered an
instrument of national power? Is the U.S. prepared to accept food
rationing to help people who can’t/won’t control their population
growth?” Kissinger has answered these questions when he stated that he
was predicting a series of contrived famines, created by mandatory
programs and this would make exclusive reliance on birth control
programs unnecessary in this modern day application of eugenics in a
scheme that would allow Henry to have his cake and eat it too in that
the world would finally be rid of the “useless eaters!”Third world population control, using food as one of the primary weapons, has long been a matter of official covert national policy and a portion of President Obama’s Executive Order 13603 (EO), National Defense Resources Preparedness is a continuation of that policy. Only now, the intended targets are not the LDC’s, but are instead, the American people and after Obama declares martial law, food will undoubtedly be used to subjugate the more resistant regions of our country.
The lessons of history clearly demonstrate that dictatorial regimes, whether they be Socialists, Communists, and Marxists will not hesitate to use food as a weapon against their own people in order to solidify power and impose absolute autocratic control. Food can be withheld from the masses by preventing it from being grown and harvested, by contaminating it and rendering it unfit for human consumption or by simply preventing food from being distributed to a targeted population. And there is a third strategy that the government can employ when subjugating a population by withholding food, that would be food which has a long shelf life. And this is exactly what we see, the Federal government is stockpiling survival food with a long shelf life.
The Feds Have Been Preparing for the Coming Food Shortages Since 2008
As far back as 2008, I can find evidence that the government was attempting to stockpile as much survival food as possible. These events prompted prominent brokers and key media members to advise the public to begin storing food as long as six years ago in anticipation of what is about ready to happen.In 2011, FEMA issued a “Request for information” (RFI), in which they inquired about the availability for 140 million emergency meal kits with a shelf life of 36 months along with blankets. Please read the FEMA document, listed below in the Appendix, and then I defy the reader to not be concerned about the long-standing pattern of this government in acquiring vast amounts of food.
Collision Course with Disaster
One can hope to survive if the government allows the banks to use the MERS mortgage fraud to seize your home. One can hope to survive if this administration seizes your guns. However, food inflation coupled with declining wages is a prescription for disaster. I do not think it is possible to overstate the dangers covered in this article. America needs to prepare to defend themselves. The day of reckoning is coming. Buy survival food, store it and hide it! Make certain you have a way to protect your food and water. Form alliances with your neighbors. And don’t forget to store your Bible in your bug out kit.'The End Is Close For Sure' - Civil War, Insurrection And Martial Law
By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine
It is happening now.
After reading a number of SQ Alerts in regards to customer testimonies on banking problems, trouble withdrawing funds that should be available, and basic harassment towards long-time bank users, I pulled up the verified Consumer Affairs Complaints and Reviews, by the thousands, for some of the biggest banks in America, and we see a massive deterioration of services, accessing and/or withdrawing funds, and availability issues being reported all across the board.
A list of five huge banks and the thousands of complaints from customers, are linked below. It is noteworthy that these complaints are what are referred to as "verified" by Consumer Affairs.
Stepping back and looking at the big picture shown clearly in headlines over the last few years we see a premeditated and systematic push by the government towards civil war and insurrection which will lead to the lockdown of America.... martial law.
Setting aside the deliberate divisive push using race, class warfare and targeting of Americans such as Christians, veterans, constitutionalists, preppers, survivalists by the U.S. government by deeming them "extremists" and implying they are more dangerous that terror groups, labeling them as "domestic terrorists," (all of which will play a part in determining the "enemy" when the total lockdown begins), we focus this article on the banking system and the blatant preparations they have been making to confiscate depositors' funds and doing so in a manner where it will be over before the majority of Americans even learn it has begun.
Before connecting the dots it is imperative to remember two major points.
First Point- The U.S. goverment has put legal mechanisms in place to conficate depositors money, which has been documented by Ellen Brown and many others over the last couple of years.
Although few depositors realize it, legally the bank owns the depositor’s funds as soon as they are put in the bank. Our money becomes the bank’s, and we become unsecured creditors holding IOUs or promises to pay. (See here and here.) But until now the bank has been obligated to pay the money back on demand in the form of cash. Under the FDIC-BOE plan, our IOUs will be converted into “bank equity.” The bank will get the money and we will get stock in the bank.....
More:
If our IOUs are converted to bank stock, they will no longer
be subject to insurance protection but will be “at risk” and vulnerable
to being wiped out, just as the Lehman Brothers shareholders were in
2008. That this dire scenario could actually materialize was
underscored by Yves Smith in a March 19th post titled When You Weren’t Looking, Democrat Bank Stooges Launch Bills to Permit Bailouts, Deregulate Derivatives. She writes:
In the US, depositors have actually been put in a worse
position than Cyprus deposit-holders, at least if they are at the big
banks that play in the derivatives casino. The regulators have turned a
blind eye as banks use their depositaries to fund derivatives exposures.
And as bad as that is, the depositors, unlike their Cypriot confreres,
aren’t even senior creditors. Remember Lehman? When the investment bank
failed, unsecured creditors (and remember, depositors are unsecured creditors)
got eight cents on the dollar. One big reason was that derivatives
counterparties require collateral for any exposures, meaning they are
secured creditors. The 2005 bankruptcy reforms made derivatives
counterparties senior to unsecured lenders.
How many of your family members, friends or neighbors understand that the government has put laws in place that allows banks to simply take their money if they deem it necessary? What will their reaction be to go bed one Friday night with X amount of money in their accounts just to wake up on Monday to find out the majority of it is just gone?
Would legal mechanisms have been put into place to confiscate depositors' money if TPTB wasn't planning to do so at some point?
Second Point - On April 12, 2016 the Federal Reserve released a 19-page letter that it and the FDIC had issued to the Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, which "identified a deficiency" in JPMorgan’s wind-down plan that could, in their words "pose serious adverse effects to the financial stability of the United States." (Page 11)
Zero Hedge makes the following point:
It’s important to parse the phrasing of that sentence. The Federal regulators didn’t say JPMorgan could pose a threat to its shareholders or Wall Street or the markets. It said the potential threat was to “the financial stability of the United States.”
U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN PREPARING FOR YEARS - THEY KNOW WHAT IS COMING
In December 2014, ANP reported on a strange solicitation by the US governments Comptroller of Acquisition Management, for a bid of $200,000 for survival kits for the employees of major banks. As was explained in the ANP article, these are the type of purchases usually reserved for the military or the FBI. (Solicitation is embedded in the December article and video shown below)
By February 2015 people started noticing that bullet proof glass was quickly being installed at banks across America, not just in areas where crime is high, but in banks located in small town grocery stores with one women telling Quayle - "Today I went inside our local Chase bank and to my surprise, the teller area had changed drastically. The tellers were now behind a glass wall. When I asked the teller when did this change take place, she said that workers where there all during the previous night installing it. Jokingly, I asked her if it was bullet proof glass and she confirmed that it was indeed. Please keep in mind that this bank is in a small grocery shopping center right outside of a neighborhood in a quiet suburban town about 35 miles north of Houston. I was shocked. They are preparing for something."
On April 13, 2016, another Quayle reader emails the following testimony:
Just had to share this on the heels of my trip to our local
Wells Fargo Bank here just outside of Clovis, CA by 5 minutes and into
Fresno.
.
When I walked into the branch, I notice it looked completely
different than from just a 3-4 weeks ago. There teller areas all the way
down the entire length of the wall were enclosed in clear material.
When it was my turn to go to the window, I asked the teller,
wow, you've remodeled in here. I asked her, is this plexiglass (lots of
laughs). She said, no, it's bullet proof glass. This stuff was very
thick - at least 4 inches. I said, "Oh, I supposed they felt they
probably should do this in light of what might be happening in the
financial world." She said to me, "Well, they decided they better do it
sooner than later." Now be aware, where I live, Clovis, CA, is a quiet,
well-mannered, somewhat rural city (just east and slightly north of
Fresno). The branch is also in a nice area. We do not have bank
robberies here! Trouble is coming soon I believe, and we better be
prepared and have our cash on hand. I do believe a financial collapse is
coming sooner than later.
Other alerts show that "signature cards" are mysteriously going missing which is preventing depositors from accessing their funds, people are being harrassed just to withdraw less than a thousand dollars, and Wells Fargo required a "finger print and phone number too," on top of the normal ID and debit card.
I never deposit my pay checks in my account I always cash them at Wells Fargo since that's where they're drawn from. Yesterday I went as usual to cash my check and not only did they want my identification and debit card from my checking account which is at citizens bank but they wanted my finger print and phone number too. THE END IS CLOSE FOR SURE. Anyone else out there seeing the same???
What banks are doing is taking cash out of the system, where banks often cannot produce cash on hand to allow for certain withdrawals, and are basically programming people to expect problems so when the total crash occurs they won't be aware that their money has been confiscated... until it is too late.
April 2015, under the guise of being "wary of natural disaster" the Fed started moving assets from New York to Chicago, with Reuters specifically parsing out the red herring that "sources" indicate the Fed was worried about "cyber attacks" against the Federal Reserve operations.
In the midst of other preparations, the government has also been stockpiling ammunition, conducting unprecedented military training exercises such as Jade Helm across the country, not on government land but on public lands, practicing round-ups and positioning military assets and arming government agencies that are not associated with law enforcement.
CIVIL WAR, INSURRECTION AND MARTIAL LAW
InfoWars reported on April 18, 2016, that "Top insurer Lloyds warns that a “pandemic” of global civil unrest could go viral, threatening international stability."
InfoWars also highlights something ANP has been tracking for years.. the stockpiling of assets and survival preparations by the government and the so-called "elites" in their bunkers in preparation for civil unrest, which could be caused by a terrorist attack, an EMP or a total financial meltdown.
As we have recently highlighted, the ultra-wealthy are highly
concerned about civil unrest and have made moves to prepare for social
disorder.
Elitists are buying luxury bomb-proof survival bunkers,
with one of the companies behind the underground units, Vivos,
revealing that they are for the “protection of high net worth
individuals” against the threat posed by the “general public”.
We have noted and reported on a number of protests, riots, vandalism and violence, which has ratcheted up in frequency and intensity of the past few years, leaving many to wonder when the one "event" will occur that will tip the scales and lead to outright civil war, insurrection and martial law.
That "event" could very well be a total global economic collapse but the difference between a place like Cyprus, or European nations practicing "bail-ins" and confiscating depositors funds, and doing it here in the U.S. .... is the millions of armed Americans that exist.
BOTTOM LINE
Looking at everything compiled, from years of reports, it is apparent the government has been preparing for the eventual civil unrest that will occur when the economy collapses, so we believe everyone else should be preparing for it as well.
No one is suggesting a run on the banks, but we are recommending some basic preparations, withdraw what you can periodically from your bank and leave just enough in your accounts to pay your bills. Invest what you can afford to in food, water, medical supplies and basic necessities. If you can afford to, invest in precious metals, because we are seeing warnings the dollar will be devalued.
There is nothing to fear if you are prepared for what is on the horizon.

Top Insurer Warns Global Civil Unrest Could Go Viral
Violent riots threaten international stability
Top insurer Lloyds warns that a “pandemic” of global civil unrest could go viral, threatening international stability.
Lloyds commissioned leading global risk management consultancy the Risk Advisory Group to produce a report analyzing what factors could prompt the spread of civil unrest around the world.
The
report found that, “Instances of political violence contagion are
becoming more frequent and the contagion effect ever more rapid and
powerful,” with head of exposure management and reinsurance, Trevor
Maynard, warning that global outbreaks of violence are increasingly
likely to develop into “pandemics” of civil unrest.
This
transformation will lead to “widespread disruption yet prove extremely
difficult to anticipate,” and threaten “international stability,”
according to the report.
The
inquiry found that the potential for mass civil unrest represents a
“highly important dimension of political risk” and that preparations for
such scenarios are currently insufficient.
As
we have recently highlighted, the ultra-wealthy are highly concerned
about civil unrest and have made moves to prepare for social disorder.
Elitists are buying luxury bomb-proof survival bunkers,
with one of the companies behind the underground units, Vivos,
revealing that they are for the “protection of high net worth
individuals” against the threat posed by the “general public”.
“This
is for wealthy people who are concerned about various disaster
scenarios, but a common theme among them is a fear of civil unrest, a
fear of an uprising from the 99%,” said journalist Lynn Parramore, who
visited one of the facilities in Indiana.
Millionaires are fleeing Chicago and other major cities due to concerns over racial tensions and rising crime rates.
“About 3,000 individuals with net assets of $1 million or more,” left Chicago in just the last year alone according to the Chicago Tribune.
Paris and Rome are also seeing a mass exodus of millionaires, while wealthy elites are also installing panic rooms in their big city apartments due to fears over potential civil unrest and skyrocketing crime.
Land and remote homes in places like New Zealand are also popular with the global 1%,
with realtors citing the threat of worldwide financial instability and
domestic disorder as motivating factors behind the purchases.
Dire Warning Issued 'It Is Going To Be A Rough July' - From Georgia To Colorado Things Are Rapidly Spiraling Out of Control
By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine
BACKGROUND
When it was reported in early March that in preparation for the GOP Convention in Cleveland, slated for the week of July 18, 2016, the city of Cleveland was seeking to buy 2,000 sets of riot gear, we now have to wonder if that was because the RNC was not only preparing for "potential" trouble but understood the righteous anger that would be aimed directly at them after they decided to sideline millions and millions of voters from Georgia to Colorado ahead of the convention.
With less than a week to organize, Colorado Votes Matter, using a Facebook page, manage to get up to 200 people to the Colorado State Capitol building to protest the fact that Colorado bypassed voters totally in order to "select" their candidate, handing 34 delegates to Ted Cruz without any votes cast by residents of the state.
This was followed by the CO GOP tweeting "We did it. #NeverTrump," which was promptly removed with party officials denying they had tweeted it, but it was captured by quick thinking social media users.
