Money plays such an important role in our lives that most of us could not imagine surviving without it. Yet that is exactly what you need to do if you want to prepare for an economic condition called deflation.

Deflation is the term economists use to describe a “general decline in prices, often caused by a reduction in the supply of money or credit.” A good way to think of deflation is as the opposite of inflation. Inflation occurs when there is too much money in circulation, which destroys its value and raises prices. When deflation occurs, there is too little money available, which often causes prices to collapse and the economy to shut down.

In severe cases of deflation there can be no money available at all not — even at the banks. This nightmare actually occurred during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when there were places in the United States where there was no cash available at all. More recently, it has happened in Greece, where ATMs ran out of cash and where banks placed limits on the amount of money that could be withdrawn.

People had no money to pay bills or buy food for their families. Employers had no money to pay employees, customers had no money to buy goods, and many people were reduced to bartering to survive. During the Great Depression, farmers would pay professionals such as mechanics and doctors with food because they had no money and no credit.

The situation got so bad that in some areas of the country, local governments, chambers of commerce and businesses issued their own currencies — the so-called depression scrip. The scrip often took the form of pieces of paper that people used as money because there was no government currency available. The scrip was used to pay workers or buy goods.

At one point during the Great Depression, the money shortage got so severe that the US government considered issuing a national scrip as an alternative to the dollar. That plan was eventually dropped and the government solved the crisis by simply printing more dollars.

Many people have known survivors of the Great Depression who liked to keep large amounts of cash on hand. Others would hoard food and other items. Those people developed that habit because they remembered what life without money was like. The fear of the deflation that occurred in the 1930s haunted them all of their lives.

The frightening reality is that the threat of deflation is still real. Some knowledgeable individuals, such as wealth preservation experts Will and Bill Bonner, believe that a sudden deflation leading to a national or international money shortage is still possible today.

The Bonners, who have studied some of the world’s knowledgeable investors such as George Soros, believe that the next financial crisis will begin with a “violent monetary shock” similar to the one that occurred during the Great Depression. They predict that money could suddenly disappear overnight, causing the economy to come to a grinding halt.

What Happens When Money Vanishes

Historical accounts of the Great Depression show us some of the possible effects of such a violent monetary shock. The damage caused by such a violent deflation can include:

The sudden collapse of prices. The Great Depression began with the collapse of stock market prices in 1929. That was preceded by the collapse of agricultural prices in the United States during the 1920s. During that crisis, land prices in rural areas collapsed, causing large numbers of rural banks to fail. When the banks failed, the government liquidated them and their assets, which included lots of foreclosed farmland, an action that further drove prices and made the crisis worse.

Everything you have — your investments, your home and your possessions — could suddenly lose all of its value. We saw this happen during the mortgage bubble of 2007-2008, when many people found themselves “underwater.” That occurs when the amount a home is mortgaged for exceeds the property’s value.

The collapse in prices during the Great Depression particularly hurt farmers who relied on commodity prices. Newsreels from the early 1930s show farmers dumping grain on the ground and pouring out milk because they could not sell them.

Bank runs and the collapse of financial institutions. A bank run or banking panic occurs when all of a bank’s depositors try to take their money out at once. Bank runs often trigger the collapse of financial institutions, which prompts even more bank runs. Between 1930 and 1933 nearly 10,000 banks failed or were suspended. The panic got so bad that President Franklin D. Roosevelt actually suspended all bank transactions in the US between March 6 and March 10, 1933 to prevent further runs in his so-called “bank holiday.”

During the banking crisis of the 1930s, many Americans lost their life savings simply because they were not able to get to the bank fast enough and withdraw their money. Even some wealthy individuals ended up on the streets and in bread lines because they could not get money from the bank.

Massive unemployment. It is a simple and obvious fact that when there is no money, there are no jobs. At the height of the Great Depression in 1933, 24.75 percent of the nation’s labor force, or one in four workers, were unemployed. Around 12.83 million people were out of work at a time when America’s total population was only around 93 million people. That unemployment persisted for years, with 8.1 million Americans still out of work in 1940 in the 11^th year of the Great Depression. The unemployment created by the Depression only ended when World War II created “jobs” in the form of the draft and war production.

Hunger and Starvation. Not surprisingly, hunger and in some cases death from starvation can become a problem after deflation. Historians disagree on the number of people who died during the Great Depression.

Massive expansion of government and its power. In his first 100 days in office in 1933, Roosevelt signed 15 major pieces of legislation, several of which established massive new bureaucracies. During the 1920s there were 553,000 civilian employees of the federal government, but by 1940 the federal government had more than 1 million civilian employees. For the first time in American history, the federal government even tried to set prices for products under the National Recovery Act. The government also told farmers what to grow under the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Those laws were so blatantly unconstitutional that the US Supreme Court struck them down in 1935 and 1936.

Increased taxation. When money disappears government gets desperate and imposes more and taxes in an attempt to squeeze more money out of the economy. During the Depression, the maximum income tax rate was raised from 20 percent to 55 percent, gift taxes were increased from .75 percent to 33.5 percent, and new taxes were levied on automobiles, gasoline, telegrams, telephone calls and even checks. By 1934, the United States had the highest tax rates in the world. In 1935 taxes were raised again. Historian Murray Rothbard estimates that the effective tax rate in the United States increased from 16 percent to 29 percent during the Depression.

Why it Could Be Worse Today

If such an event were to occur in today’s world, it could be far worse than the Great Depression.

People were far more self-sufficient in the 1930s, as large numbers of families lived on farms and grew their own food. Even many Americans who lived in town maintained gardens and chicken coops. In those days people also hunted for meat, canned and preserved their own food and baked their own bread. People also sewed their own clothes and fixed their own cars, which gave them a high level of self-sufficiency.

Today, most Americans rely solely on supermarkets for food, and many families no longer even cook. Few people bother to sew, and most of us do not even change the oil in our cars. If our money were to disappear, we would be as helpless as children.

It’s time that we learn the lessons of the Americans who survived the Great Depression. That lesson was to be as self-sufficient as possible so you can survive, no matter what.

Scrape away the hand-wringing about interest rates and we find a bedrock of complacency. Nobody seems to doubt that the status quo can grind on for another 30 years doing the same stuff it’s done for the past 30 years.

The U.S. economy and its financial system operate under the implicit belief that the Federal Reserve controls the direction of the economy and finance. This belief isn’t in Fed influence, it’s in Fed control: The Fed can reverse a stock market decline on a dime, it can reverse a recession, it can do “whatever it takes” to keep markets stable and expansive.

The history of the past 30 years seems to support this belief. Every time a financial crisis has manifested, the Fed has “saved the day” with some new policy extreme, changing the rules, jacking up its balance sheet 10-fold and so on.

The assumption here is that nothing can bring down a system that can create as much money as it needs to solve any spot of bother and we have the past 30 years of history to prove it.

Nobody seems to think there are any constraints on the Perpetual Motion Finance Machine. Few seem to ponder the possibility that the whole freaking shebang of debt and leverage might give way and tumble over the cliff regardless of what reforms (gold-backed currencies, etc.) and other financial modifications are instituted.

In other words, few seem willing to entertain the possibility that the system is now beyond the point that a return to stability is possible. In systems terms, the whole shebang (the global financial system and the global economy it enables) has veered so far out of equilibrium that incremental policy tweaks can no longer restore equilibrium.

The flaw in this confidence in Fed control is the three speculative bubbles that have inflated and burst in the era of Fed Control, 1995 to the present. These bubbles could not have inflated without a “dovish” Fed pushing interest rates down and juicing the financial system with liquidity/credit.

Since all speculative bubbles eventually burst, the Fed is forced into “rescue mode,” which requires ever more extreme manipulation, oops, I mean intervention, to stabilize the bubble bursting and inflate the next bubble.

What few entertain as a possibility is the Fed is losing control of the economy and finance for systemic reasons that have nothing to do with Fed policy per se. In other words, it’s not a “Fed policy error” that brings the system down, it’s much larger forces: diminishing returns and second-order effects.

The immediate effect of new Fed policy extremes is strong, much like a new drug has an immediate effect. But as the drug is injected again and again, it loses its efficacy. In medicine this is a biological process; in finance, it’s a psychological process as participants habituate to every new Fed policy extreme and count on its 1) permanence and 2) continued efficacy.

For example, the Fed’s trick of lowering bond yields/interest rates. Participants can confidently increase their exposure to risk to insane levels and dispense with hedges because they’re confident the Fed will drop interest rates back to zero if the stock market falters.

This confidence in the efficacy of Fed policies can be understood as a buffer, providing resilience and a backstop (“the Fed Put”) to any financial/economic instability. Participants stop panicking the moment the Fed announces a new dovish policy, even if the policy has limited effect on real-world conditions.

The decline of real-world efficacy is masked by the instant euphoria of participants, who have come to count on the Fed’s actions resolving crises literally overnight.

The decay of diminishing returns occurs under the radar. Few understand all the Fed’s actions (reverse repos, etc.) or the scale of these operations, or their efficacy in terms of correcting disequilibrium/instabilities in the real-world economy and markets.

While participants continue to believe these buffers will always protect the system from hazard, the buffers have eroded. The next Fed “save” fails, revealing the buffers have collapsed. Put another way, the Fed has lost control.

Every new Fed policy extreme generates second-order effects that unleash unintended consequences. The prime example is moral hazard, the belief that risk can be taken on to boost speculative gains without suffering any consequences of that risk blowing up.

Since participants believe the Fed will slash interest rates back to zero as soon as markets swoon, they increase their gambles based on that confidence. Any debt taken on today can be rolled over into lower rates in the future, so there’s no limit on risk or credit expansion.

The riskiest possible expansions of credit — to fund stock buybacks, acquisitions of competitors, etc. — are greenlighted based on the confidence that the Fed will always push interest rates back toward zero as soon as conditions wobble.

This confidence sets up a feedback loop in which Fed policies push participants to extremes of risk and debt that guarantee speculative bubbles inflate and then burst, demanding fresh Fed policy extremes. In other words, the Fed has created a doom loop in which the most insane risk is transformed into a “safe bet” based on the expectation of a Fed “save.”

But what if the Fed is unable to push policies to new extremes due to systemic constraints? What if policies that worked like magic before no longer work this time around due to diminishing returns/collapse of buffers?

What if the Fed cannot reverse the doom loop of second-order effects its previous policy extremes have generated? These outcomes don’t seem farfetched to anyone who studies systems dynamics. Rather, they seem inevitable and predictable.

What if the Fed has already lost control but nobody dares question the confidence in Fed omnipotence? It’s not the Fed policy extremes that work the magic, after all; it’s the confidence of participants that resolves the bubble bursting crisis.

Those who look at systems dynamics have solid reasons for seeing this third massive Everything Bubble as the last bubble. When this bubble bursts, there will be no fourth or fifth bubble, there will only be rubble.

WHAT ARE THE BASIC FACTS?

There are no words…simply, no words for what is happening in Gaza right now. I know, I know, most Americans are listening to the mainstream media and believe that we should wholeheartedly stand behind Israel. They say this without any research nor knowledge of what’s happened in the region since 1948. They have no idea that their hard-earned tax payer dollars are being used as genocide and to support the apartheid state of Israel. Over $13 MILLION dollars/day! Yet, our Veterans can barely get the help they need as they age. In his video about “Zionism” in his book “Liberty Defined,” Congressman Ron Paul points out how “it costs the American taxpayers plenty…in perpetuity.”

The majority of Americans do not even understand basic facts about Gaza such as how it is the most densely populated place on the face of the earth, over 70% of the people in Gaza are refugees and half of the population is children!!

The recent, so-called, “attack” on Israel was supposedly done with rockets and arms from a handful of people who parachuted into the area. This happened against the 4th largest military in the world?! This happened against a country who has one of the most sophisticated intelligence systems in the world?! What happened to the Iron Dome? There is a HUGE difference between the homemade rockets from the Palestinians versus the massive military airstrikes from Israel. This is clearly nothing more than propaganda displayed to the world as a “False Flag.” How do we know it’s a false flag? Because Israel created Hamas in the first place and continues to fund it. U.S. Congressman Ron Paul pointed this out many years ago on the House Floor and Norman Finkelstein said that he “is factually correct” but…he also accurately states that “it is water under the bridge” because it has been a historical FACT for so long.

An overwhelming majority of the people in Israel are even saying how this whole thing is the fault of the insane and dangerous madman named Netanyahu. “Four out of five Jewish Israelis believe the government and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are to blame for the mass infiltration of Hamas terrorists into Israel and the massacre that followed.” Go back and read that factual statement one more time. This will not be good for the Israeli citizens and they know it! How sad on all sides of this insanity.

As for the, so-called, “elections” of Hamas by the Palestinian people, it was no democratic fair election of the people. Why do I say that? Because, as usual, the corrupt American government dictated how it would happen. Senator Hillary Clinton said this about it, “We should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.” As Norman Finkelstein points out, “the democratic process was never allowed to the Palestinian people!!”

PROPAGANDA IS THE WEAPON OF WAR

Propaganda is how all wars begin. The Gulf of Tonkien “attack” that supposedly started the Vietnam War but never occurred. WW2 started out with some crazy accusation of German soldiers passing babies around with their bayonets which turned out to be nothing but lying propaganda but thousands of people died because of this lie. This is no different than what is happening right now with the false accusation of babies being beheaded. It didn’t happen. It was nothing more than a false statement from a reporter in the area.

Propaganda used to be illegal in the United States but that all changed with the passing of the NDAA bill in 2012 which also says how it can throw innocent civilians into a military prison, INDEFINITELY, without any due process of the law. That should frighten the pants off any red-blooded American especially since law enforcement departments across the nation have been receiving military training from the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) for a very long time. My dear Uncle Walt was a County Sheriff back in the 70’s and he fully embodied the meaning of the phrase “for the justice of the peace” which is how law enforcement agencies used to operate in the U.S. He put his life on the line to ensure that “PEACE” prevailed but he would have NEVER acted like a military soldier at war to the innocent people of his small Nebraska town. When one analyzes how our police forces have changed for the worst, it is truly heartbreaking and it is all because the IDF has ushered in the police state.

WHAT ABOUT THE LAW?

The really scary part is that we live in a WORLD of lawlessness!! As Dan Asmussen, Director of membership of TLBTalk.com, said in his article, “It would be far more accurate to conclude that international law has not even been applied in the Zionist-Palestinian issue.” Dan also accurately paints the picture of the region when he says it is an “unparalleled violation of elementary principles of humanity.” What Israel has been doing in the region since 1949 is illegal, inhumane, unethical, and downright pure evil. One of the best historians and authors on the topic, Norman Finkelstein has been pointing this out for over 40 years and has thoroughly researched the world reports done by the humanitarian organizations whose job it is to report the facts of the situation happening in that region of the world. This was a quote from the President of the ICRC, (International Committee of the Red Cross) when he went into Gaza to assess the situation after “Operation Protective Edge” in 2014 which murdered 550 Palestinian children and demolished 18,000 homes. His job is to go to war zones around the world and he said, “I’ve NEVER seen such massive destruction EVER before!”

NO OTHER OPTIONS FOR THE PALESTINIANS

Some people ask why the people of Gaza don’t just leave the country. They can’t. Nobody can go in or out without going through military checkpoints due to the occupation. It is an open-air prison surrounded by military in the air, water, and land. The military also restricts electricity, water, medical supplies and other basic fundamental needs of the Palestinians and they have done this for decades. What is the difference between Hamas and the people of Gaza? This poses a bit of a difficult answer that most Americans do not understand because as historian, Norman Finkelstein, describes “the blockade creates a synthesis and assimilation between the people and Hamas, they have no other options…they have no other choices.” His recent article states how “the recent situation is a “slave revolt” inside Israel.” The good news is that 31 different organizations within Harvard University are now exposing this fact and showing how Israel is “entirely responsible” for the current situation.

People don’t really understand that most of the people in the Gaza Strip today were born into that concentration camp. Let that sink in! It is an open-air concentration camp as defined by many experts on the subject such as Norman Finkelstein, Human Rights Watch, Noam Chomsky, Philip Weiss, etc….

Philip Giraldi (National Security Editor of “The UNZ Review” alternative media) just wrote an article on UNZ where he reported the truth of how Israel intends to wipe out the children of Gaza. Yes…wipe them out! He states that the “Netanyahu-allied government minister Ayelet Shaked memorably has called for Israel not only to exterminate all Palestinian children, whom she has described as “little snakes,” but also to kill their mothers who gave birth to them.” Evil? Absolutely to the core.

So the “Jews and their lies” (as Martin Luther called it in his ) are trying to tell people throughout the world how babies are being beheaded when it never happened…yet the reality is that they intend to wipe out ALL children in Gaza and their mothers. See the difference? Whatever happened to sparing the women and children from war as defined by the UN declaration, the Geneva Convention, and the International Red Cross? This is just one more way that Israel goes against international law with no consequences for their illegal actions.

This whole situation is actually much deeper and far broader than Israel versus Palestine because the conflict immediately turned to the war drums beating for the U.S. to go against Iran. The “Neocons” jumped right on that idea because they are really progressives who believe that we should never let a good crisis go to waste. Israel has even said that there is no evidence that Iran was involved in Hamas attack yet American sleazy politicians would have everyone believing that they were behind the whole thing. Of course the neocons would say this since neoconservatism has “Jewish roots” as described in this paper at Georgetown University or this article where the author states the fact of how “it wasn’t until the 1970s, during the Carter administration, that neoconservative Jews defected from the Democratic Party because of Carter’s advocacy of an evenhanded approach vis-à-vis Israel and the Palestinians and for a return to the 1967 borders.” I, wholeheartedly agree that Americans should be gravely concerned about these Israeli-centric leftists who have infiltrated American politics. And, last but not least, the infamous John Mearsheimer (Author of the book “The Israel Lobby” which I own) explains how “the Neoconservatives are, by their own admission, deeply committed to Israel.”

Now, this mess is coming over into the U.S. as the FBI recently gave warning about threats of, so-called, “terrorism” happening. The puppets of the Zionist regime…the necons…need their wars to happen and that is why puppet Nikki Haley said “finish them” about Iran and how “they don’t deserve to exist on this earth” in regards to Hamas (which Israel created in the first place…go back to the top of this article). Could someone get more evil than that? Apparently she has absolutely zero morals and no faith in Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ who came for ALL nations.

So, who benefits the most from all of these “wars and rumors of wars?” The Zionist/Rothschild political regime. Who benefits from the evangelical “christian-zionist movement” which the HBO documentary, Vice, describes is 4 times larger than all the Jews on the face of the earth? The Zionist/Rothschild political regime. Who has tried nonviolent solutions again and again to no avail? The Palestinians. In 2018, they held the nonviolent “Great March of The Return” and Israel snipers targeted medical personnel, journalists, people with physical disabilities and, Norman Finkelstein also explains in the video just listed how Gaza is “unliveable.” In 2017, Robert Piper (Senior Humanitarian official responsible for the West Bank and Gaza) stated that “Gaza had crossed the unliveability threshold a long time ago.” That is horrible sad and inhumane by all international definitions of the word.

WHAT IS THE MORAL SOLUTION?

Many Americans who have been brainwashed by the mainstream media and Hollywood films would claim how Israel has a right to defend itself by force in the current conflict and any conflicts of the past but…do they? As Norman Finkelstein asks, “does a rapist have a right to self defense if the victim resists by scratching him?” …I stand strongly with Norman about how absolutely ridiculous this, so-called, “debate” is on whether Israel has the right to use force. If truthful logic and historical research is applied, then Norman is 100% correct in sternly explaining “Israel has no right to use any force” while the mainstream media tells people how Gaza must be “more non-violent.” What the hell? How can a nation become “more non-violent” when they have tried time and again to use nonviolent means such as peaceful negotiations, the Great March of Return in 2018 (which was nonviolent at the very beginning), the BDS movement and many other attempts?

HOW IS ALL OF THIS SATANIC EVIL?

David Ben Gurion, Israel’s first Prime Minister, was an ethnic cleanser as Henry Makow covers in this book review where he states, “For Ben-Gurion, the ‘Arabs’ were no more than one-dimensional objects on the landscape that had to be removed. They had no right to be in Palestine let alone the right to stay there. Had he seen them as equal human beings he could not have been a Zionist.”

The plan from the Israeli government under the reign of Netanyahu is calling for extermination of the people in Gaza (over 2 million who are mostly children). Yoave Gallant, the Defense minister has announced “No electricity, no food, no water, no gas – – it’s all closed. We are dealing with human animals.” Amnesty International says, “This is an explicit confirmation that these acts have been taken to punish civilians in Gaza for the actions of Palestinian armed groups. Amnesty reiterates that Palestinian civilians are not responsible for the crimes of Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups and Israel must not, under international law, make them suffer for acts they play no role in and cannot control.” So, the overwhelming majority of the people of Israel know that Israel has done this for a killing spree in Gaza. Large humanitarian organizations like Amnesty International explicitly confirm that these acts have occurred in order to punish innocent civilians of Gaza when they have done nothing against Israel. The entire international community understands how this is calling for a complete annihilation of the people of Gaza yet the U.S. doesn’t get it. How in the hell is that happening? The people of the U.S. are being mocked and look so ridiculous. Biden looks like the typical bumbling idiot in his recent visit to Israel where he pledges unwavering U.S. support for Israel (please explain why in the hell our government is promising unwavering support for a foreign government???!!) as this article says, “International condemnation is universal minus the US.” And as if it isn’t enough that the whole world laughs at the usurper of the Constitution living in the White House, they are blaming the U.S. for the ethnic cleansing of  the Palestinians in Gaza – Sami Abou Shehadeh, a former member of the Israeli Knesset, has blamed Biden and other leaders for giving Israel “a green light for ethnic cleaning”.

This is pure evil, at the core, and the completely corrupt government of the U.S. is behind it all using your hard-earned fruits of your labor.

And, today, it gets even worse as a call for humanitarian pause of all of this bombing has been proposed but – get this – The United States government has used their veto power at the UN to stop it!

The Israeli government is calling for the people of Gaza to leave yet they have absolutely nowhere to go and they know it. As Miko Pelod (Israeli-American activist and author of “the General’s Son”) says the people of Gaza cannot leave and that “Israel is the reason they cannot leave.” That is the definition of genocide. Genocide is COMPLETE EVIL no matter how much lipstick is put on that Zionist political pig!

The al-Ahli Christian hospital in Gaza was bombed (more than 800 Gazans, mostly women and children) and Israel is trying to say that it was done from a failed rocket launch out of Gaza; however, this vital video PROVES that this is a total lie. Those bombs are American made. Once again, only evil forces do this type of thing in order to carry on their genocidal actions that have been occurring for 75 years!!

Gaza is the world’s largest open-air concentration camp where the people are being denied food, clean water, medical supplies and education facilities and this didn’t just start this month. It has been happening for decades. Gaza is a land under siege and military occupation. The fence they broke down (being shown everywhere on mainstream media) is NOT an Israeli fence. It is a fence that was preventing them from getting to their homes.

ISRAEL IS AN APARTHEID STATE!!

**If there is any video that you watch in all of these factual ones listed in this article, do yourself a favor and at the very least watch that video about how it is definitely an apartheid state (it’s only 12 minutes long).

These are the same two corrupt governments who did everything they could to try and put the USS Liberty at the bottom of the ocean back in 1967, killing 34 American servicemen and wounding 173. Why? Because it was a state of the art signals intelligence platform ship and the, “6-day war” was happening at the time. Ronald Kukal (a friend of mine and a survivor of the USS Liberty) was asked if he considers the State of Israel to be an “ally” and he said,

“No, I think that they—I’m talking mainly about the leadership in Israel—are Zionists.”

But Ron states it best when he said, “I believe on June 8, 1967, we looked Satan in the eye and lived to tell about it.”

If that isn’t evil, I don’t know what is…

Don’t get caught up in choosing sides of this conflict that is really no conflict, at all. Israel is funding both sides of the war as they always do because, as Mike Stone points out, “Hamas is Israel in the same way that Al-Queda is Israel, and that ISIS is Israel.” He accurately explains how this is a situation of “Satanists versus humanity, not Hamas vs Israel” and that is my entire point of this article! We are all in a spiritual war of good against evil and people should really be careful in their research to unleash the gospel truth of what’s happening. Israel is falsely trying to claim that they did not bomb the Christian hospital in Gaza when they did and their “own digital spokesperson appointed by Netanyahu himself literally admitted to bombing the hospital and then deleted it a few minutes later” (click any link in the paragraph above see the photo of it).

Don’t get played…

FINAL THOUGHTS

I will end by saying that I am not pro-Israel nor am I pro-Palestinian because I believe that the whole thing is another divide and conquer strategy from those who want to rule the world because their Talmud tells them so. I also, FIRMLY, believe that it is the duty of the citizens of those nations to fight their own battles. I am pro-freedom, pro-truth, and pro-justice for ALL people of the world because Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ preached His gospel to the whole world and came “for a testimony of all nations” (Matthew 24:14).

We are in a spiritual war and I think many of us strongly believe that it is the biggest spiritual war in the history of all time…Jesus Christ said, “Blessed are the peacemakers” in His Sermon on the Mount.

I pray for peace on earth but how can it ever occur with a military occupation such as the one happening with the IDF and the Zionist plans for “the greater Israel” project which will gobble up more land in an illegal manner?

We have all been warned of how communism would move throughout the whole world and even into the United States of America. In 2017, over 70,000 people witnessed “the micracle of the sun” when Our Lady, the Virgin Mary, Mother of God visited 3 small children in Fatima, Portugal to warn the world how “Russia will spread her errors throughout the world.” There was even a movie made about the event. She also said that “various nations will be annihilated” and I cannot help but wonder if Gaza will eventually be one of them? I sure hope and pray not…but all of these plans for the Jewish one world government or New World Order are connected in political ways and in the truthful history of what has occurred with the Zionist-Freemasonry takeover of the Catholic Church.

As a traditional Catholic who only attends the TRUE Latin Mass of the Roman Catholic Church and rejects any/all things to do with the evil, “Vatican 2 council” of the 60’s, I stand firmly in the promises made by “Our Lady of Fatima” when it comes to world peace.

May God be with everyone who is speaking the truth about the satanic evil that is doing this for world dominance. May God protect the innocent civilians, especially the women and children, who are being caught up in these evil plans.

A disaster strikes in your city so severe that military, law enforcement, and major emergency response forces such as FEMA are deployed to handle the situation.

But then, to your surprise, you have FEMA personnel and law enforcement agents knocking on your door…and they demand to enter and see and take all the food, water, and supplies that you have on hand.

When deployed, FEMA provides disaster-relief experts to assist with the efforts of state and local governments, deploys personnel and equipment to assist with disaster-relief efforts and recovery, and offers funding to help support the rebuilding phase after the disaster has ended.

In a nutshell, FEMA is an agency designed to help handle and coordinate responses to major disasters. When they come it’s ‘to help’ right?

That’s what you may think until the FEMA personnel come knocking on your front door and demanding to take what you have.

But why would FEMA try to requisition your stockpile of food and supplies in the first place? Could they get away with it? If so, how should you react? We’ll attempt to answer those questions in this article.

Why Would FEMA Requisition Your Stockpile?
One scenario in which FEMA could requisition your possessions, including your stockpile, is if martial law were to be declared.

Knock Knock! It’s FEMA, We Need Your Stockpile
Martial law is the complete suspension of current laws enacted by the civilian government in favor of laws set by military authorities. Usually invoked during times of emergency, such as war or natural disaster, the purpose of martial law is to give the local authorities unlimited authority to create and enforce laws.

In other words, when martial law is declared, all existing laws on the books would effectively go out the window. Forget about having freedom of speech or the right to own your property. If the authorities were to decree in a martial law that they can come onto your property and take anything they want, there would be nothing to stop them from doing so.

That’s because when martial law is declared, it will be a top priority of the authorities to maintain strict control over the local population.

This will involve four major steps:

Controlling the movements of the population and ensuring no one can leave (unless if the affected area needs to be evacuated)
Controlling speech and propaganda
Disarming the population to ensure they can’t fight back
Making the population dependent on the authorities for food, water, and medication
After Hurricane Katrina, police units literally went door-to-door to confiscate firearms from legal gun owners.

In a longer term situation, the government could do the same thing, only they would take food, water, medicine, and other necessities. FEMA, with support from deployed law enforcement or military units, is an agency that would be among the most likely to carry this out.

The purpose of doing so would be to ensure that people can’t be self-sufficient. The authorities could then create bread lines to force people to stand in line for food. In other words, people will only be able to eat when and where the authorities would decree. They could withhold food

How Should You React and Prepare?
A major disaster that involves government agencies confiscating necessities and supplies from the local population may seem unlikely, but it’s not at all outside the realm of probability. That’s why it’s a potential scenario that you need to be ready for.

There are three primary things you should do to react to this kind of situation:

Hide Your Stockpile
Knock Knock! It’s FEMA, We Need Your Stockpile
Think about extra hidden rooms in the home where you could store food, water, medicine, and other items.

If no such room exists in your home, consider making one.

For example, would it be possible to build a storage area into a wall?

Or what if you built an underground storage place outside?

The point is to make sure that not all of your preps are clearly obvious. When the FEMA personnel come stomping through your house, you want to make sure it’s difficult for them to detect your stockpile.

They’ll likely check the kitchen, pantry, and garage first; whether they give the rest of the house and property a closer inspection likely depends on how strictly they’ve been ordered to remove the food and water supplies from the local population.

For an added tip, consider having multiple secret rooms or storage areas. In the event the FEMA personnel find and requisition one stockpile, they’ll hopefully be satisfied and move onto the next house.

Don’t Resist The Authorities
Secondly, make sure that you don’t resist the authorities when the time comes. Whether you like it or not, if FEMA and police are at your door you’re not going to be able to resist them, and if you do, you’ll be arrested and your items will be confiscated anyway.

Knock Knock! It’s FEMA, We Need Your Stockpile
Play it safe, and don’t resist while ensuring that much of your preps are kept a secret. Besides food, water, and medicine, the same goes for your firearms, ammunition, and other valuables as well.

Anything you think the government would want to confiscate from you, you’ll want to keep hidden in the event of a large-scale disaster happening.

Don’t Make It Obvious That You’re A Prepper
Additionally, you won’t want to announce to the rest of the world that you’re a prepper either. It’s always smart to keep your preps under-the-radar and only to inform those close to you within your circle of trust about your preparations.

This is one more reason why it’s smart to have your stockpiles hidden and not so obvious. If you have guests over at your house, for instance, they may not think twice about your preparations now but they definitely will remember after disaster strikes.

The last thing you’d want is for your neighbors to come knocking on your door after a disaster demanding you share your food, or otherwise for them to alert FEMA personnel that you have

In the event of a major natural disaster or emergency that brings on a massive government response, be prepared to have government forces coming to your door for your stockpile. The best way to get around this to ensure you won’t be dependent on the upcoming breadlines is to keep part of your stockpile hidden and secret.

Where are some hidden places in your home or property where you could safely stockpile food and water? This is something you’ll want to start thinking about if you haven’t already.

Other than the obvious consequences, what might we expect from a partial economic collapse? A total collapse of the economy would throw the nation into utter chaos. But what if we endure an economic depression, or a severe and long-lasting downturn? I think that some of the effects are not so obvious.

1. The college and university system will collapse

As I explained in this previous post, the system of higher education is a house of cards. The cost of getting a college degree has risen sharply and steadily, while real income has remained relatively flat. The price rise is due to the easy availability of grants and loans for education. But with so many persons getting a college degree, its value in the marketplace has plummeted. Many college grads are out of work, or they are working in a job that does not require a degree. Eventually, this practice of paying more and more, for something that is worth less and less, will collapse the system. Colleges and universities will not have enough paying students, and professors will not agree to a drastic pay cut. Overhead expenses are far too high.

All that is needed is an economic collapse, or partial collapse, to topple this house of cards. Many universities and colleges will be forced by economics to shut down.

2. Agricultural yields will plummet

The current U.S. agricultural system is based on the expectation of high yields. But high yields are obtained by high inputs — all the things that go into growing the crop, including lots of fertilizer, perhaps irrigation, herbicides, pesticides, labor, machinery. Then those high yields are sold and the money is then used to fund the inputs for the next crop cycle.

An economic collapse will mean that farmers will not be able to afford all the inputs needed for high yields. And when yields fall, the amount of money from that crop will be less. Then the next crop cycle will have even less money for inputs, resulting in even lower yields. And the process will continue — lower yields, less money, lower inputs — until many farmers are out of business and a food crisis results.

3. Violent crime will increase

When people lack money and food, they become desperate. And desperate people do desperate things. Theft and robbery will skyrocket, and people will be afraid in their homes, and afraid to go out in the community. Even a quick trip to the market will become risky. Sales of most goods will plummet, causing the economic crisis to worsen. Protests will turn violent. Home invasion robberies will become much more common. Many people will be killed or injured as a result of this increase in violent crimes.

4. Law enforcement will be overwhelmed

The law enforcement system in the U.S. is commercial. Officers are paid. We don’t keep a large excess of officers on the payroll, just in case crime sharply increases. So it is relatively easy for the system to be overwhelmed. And that means a call to 911 might not bring the police to your door in time, if at all. Those who have firearms for home defense will be much better off than those who rely solely on the police. But many households have no firearms. And that means that robberies will increase, and so will the economic damage and the number of injuries and deaths.

5. The healthcare system will be overwhelmed

The healthcare system is also commercial, and lacks a safety margin in the form of excess doctors and nurses. Hospitals operate at close to capacity. A sudden increase in persons who are sick or injured will overwhelm the system.

The aforementioned increase in violent crime will undoubtedly increase injuries. But it is less obvious that a disruption to the food production and distribution system will increase illnesses. Plenty of good healthy food is the first line of defense against illness. Malnourished persons are much more likely to get sick. So an extended disruption to the food supply will cause an increase in illnesses.

6. Travel anywhere will become dangerous

As a result of all the above described problems, travel will be dangerous. Want to make a quick trip to the supermarket? You risk having your house robbed, if it is left unoccupied. And you risk being attacked on your way back from the market. Robbers might wait outside the market and follow anyone who looks like they purchased a lot of food.

There will be protests in many places, and violence will often break out. People who are hungry and afraid do not make the best decisions. Then there is the cultural aspect of the situation. We live in a culture that tells us to expect the government to take care of us, and to protest whenever anything doesn’t go our way. Ironically, self-sufficiency is abhorrent to our narcissistic culture.

I expect that the roadways will be dangerous, as violent criminals will see travelers as easier targets than homes.

7. The death rate will jump higher

People will be malnourished because of the disruption in the food supply, so they will get sick more easily. Violent crimes and violent protests will result in many more injuries than usual. And yet healthcare will be much more difficult to access. There will be a shortage of hospital beds. It will be difficult to get a doctor’s appointment. There may be a shortage of prescription and OTC medications.

All of these factors will make life a riskier endeavor.

Now if you are a seasoned prepper, who has long considered the dangers inherent in an economic collapse, you may have anticipated some of the above consequences. But I hope I’ve added to your understanding of the possible problems that we may soon face.
