The coming crisis

Posted by Matt in May 5th, 2008

But at the same time, the economies of China and India have continued growing, which accelerates the consumption of petroleum-related products and increases the amount and quality of food each person eats. These three facts have conspired to produce a global shortage of crude oil which has exacerbated the world’s inability to feed itself. If the world cannot produce significantly more barrels of oil per day, while at the same time the developing world’s appetite continues to increase and the global population continues its climb, there won’t be enough oil to go around or enough food for everyone to eat.

In just the past two weeks we have been given a foretaste of what that might mean as news organizations have reported rioting and social unrest in developing countries around the world as a result of food shortages; Canadian Bank analyst Jeff Rubin predicted oil prices will “soar to $225 a barrel by 2012.” Many experts expect these twin afflictions to remain for the foreseeable future.

Oil for Food - Iraq
May 2005 News that Ahmed Chalabi helped compile the oil for food kickback list has led to questions about its reliability. Now, a high profile anti-war protestor has admitted he was offered oil vouchers by Tariq Aziz When the oil for food programme was established, it was meant to help the Iraqi people. But the main benefactors seem to have been friends of Saddam's regime. "The Iraqi Government wanted to curry favour with those individuals and gave them oil at advantageous prices," claims Claude Hankes-Drielsam, advisor to the Iraqi Governing Council. They were then able to sell the oil on at market prices, reaping millions in profit. Like many of Tariq Aziz's friends, Father Jean Marie Benjamin is accused of accepting these paybacks. "He benefited from Saddam Hussein's regime," alleges...

Our Daily bread- food storage, peak oil, economic collapse,
Short video showing hand harvesting and primitive processing of home grown wheat. Wheat is the "staff of life" and essential to your food storage. One of the "Basic 4" of Esther Dickey's "Passport to Survival" 1960's era food storage and preparedness book along with honey, dry milk and salt. We advocate a much more rounded food storage program, but these 4 components are still essential parts. Eventually in a long term disaster your storage food will run out. Having experience with growing grains will be essential to any survivalist or homesteader. Raising your own grains now ensures your family a CLEAN, SAFE source of whole grains. www.survivalreport.net www.homesteadingandsurvival.com tags- survivalist, survival, peak oil, end of oil, end times, prophecy, nuclear war,...
