4 hours ago US Government Pouring Money into US Invasion 01 Feb 2023 Darien Gap, Panama Almost 0400 and the jungle creatures are loud. This is a mind dump sans edit before another big day talking with migrants, Am still down here. The ‘migration’ camps have at least doubled in size since my last droning. This was openly done by USA/Globalists. Appears the current rate of flow through Darien Gap is approximately 1,000 ‘migrants.’ The vast majority are military aged males. Roughly 90% of those I saw yesterday — and most days — are military aged males including teenagers. Increasing numbers of Mainland Chinese are coming. I am here this time with two Chinese translators. One speaks Mandarin, the other Cantonese. The about 50 Mainlanders we encountered yesterday were all speaking Mandarin, none Cantonese, They are from many parts of China including places like Xian. They are flush with cash and appear to be middle class. They wire money to themselves in advance so that when robbed they do not have too much risk to the nest eggs. |

As inflation continues to bite - the Consumer Price Index for December showed that, over the last 12 months, the all-items index increased 6.5 percent, before seasonal adjustment - the numbers of those feeling the pinch is still rising. Of 4,000 people surveyed by industry publication Pymnts.com and LendingClub, between December 8 and 23, a total of 64 percent said they were living paycheck-to-paycheck. That means 166 million Americans are unable to save any money at all at the end of the month. And of those 166 million, 8 million - almost 5 percent - were earning more than $100,000 a year. The total figure represents a 9 percent increase from last year. The average American earns $58,260 a year, according to the Bureau of Labor statistics. |

Still not seeing famine around the globe. It looks like Peter Zeihan and Michael Yon both overestimated the food crisis.
There is famine projected to occur in the Horn of Africa in 2023. Link to UK Parliament Library At the same time, it seems like food issues are an annual problem in that region. There are already relief agencies set up decades ago to deal with that crisis whenever the warlords allow them to bring in food. So I am not as concerned about them as I would otherwise be. On the other hand, food price inflation has hit everywhere. We have all seen food prices rise in the U.S., although the amount seems to be a matter of dispute. The Biden administration seems to think it is around 10%, while anecdotally, it seems to be more like 20%. In sub-Saharan Africa, the average increase in food prices is around 20%, while in Rwanda, it is much higher, around 40%. Will we see famine in the U.S.? It seems unlikely. A more pertinent question is how much more will the price of food increase in the coming year? How many people will struggle too eat as a result? Below is a chart detailing the five conditions of Food Insecurity, as defined by the United Nations.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By amannamedjed: Will we see famine in the U.S.? It seems unlikely. A more pertinent question is how much more will the price of food increase in the coming year? How many people will struggle too eat as a result? Famine is defined as a "shortage" or "scarcity" of food. Price of food and availability are related, when it hits at home. The average American is now spending 30% more on food than last year (real numbers), without an increase in salary, they end up with less in the fridge. So perhaps its a personal level 'famine'. When stores cant/wont/are unable to stock inventory, due to price increase, supply chain issues, etc., that's technically a 'famine' at the distribution level, is it not? How many of those families going without does it take to make a 'famine'? How many isles need to be empty of product acrossed the country to make it a famine? I'd say, for a lot of people right now, they may already be there!  |

As noted by some back in 2022, the glut of meat products as well as the crops from last harvest will run out in 2023 and the status beyond that will be from future harvest and meat production. I think Michael Yon’s timeline is off, how much is still to be determined. While we’ve seen supply shortages since 2020, a major downturn in the economy, war, weather, and adding more & more people through the southern border could really put a strain on supplies as well as the supply chain by the end of this year. Not that famine will be headline news in America in 2023, empty food banks, numbers of homeless, capacity of homeless shelters, food stamp numbers, inability to pay mortgages & car payments, etc... could be commonly reported stories by Christmas 2023. I certainly hope not, but the headwinds indicate rough times are still ahead even for us in America. As far as other parts of the world, New Zealand is seeing massive flooding that will affect their farming and ranching, Pakistan is currently going through inflation and famine of the poor. I admittedly haven't kept up with this thread like I had before Christmas and the typical news has been slower lately, I think mostly due to a milder than expected winter in Europe, lower gas prices, and the calm before the big offensives begin in Ukraine. Fingers crossed that nothing major happens in 2023 but there are just so many things coming at us and which ones will be impacting that it’s hard to tell just how things really will be later this year. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DamageDone: Famine is defined as a "shortage" or "scarcity" of food. Price of food and availability are related, when it hits at home. The average American is now spending 30% more on food than last year (real numbers), without an increase in salary, they end up with less in the fridge. So perhaps its a personal level 'famine'. When stores cant/wont/are unable to stock inventory, due to price increase, supply chain issues, etc., that's technically a 'famine' at the distribution level, is it not? How many of those families going without does it take to make a 'famine'? How many isles need to be empty of product acrossed the country to make it a famine? I'd say, for a lot of people right now, they may already be there! Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DamageDone: Originally Posted By amannamedjed: Will we see famine in the U.S.? It seems unlikely.

When you lose your job, it’s a depression.” is bad enough on it’s own without injecting runaway inflation and supply problems. That’s how you get a huge demand for government assistance programs. Perhaps that’s the strategy? |

Last bag of the “family size” I saw, at least someone in the family would be starving. I may have told the story but I’ll tell it again. Before Christmas, I had been craving Cool Ranch Doritos and finally went down the chips aisle at walmart for the first time in quite a while. Yep, the bag sizes of all brands and flavors were oddly skinnier but still tall which made me think of the Pringles can. How long will it be before Doritos come stacked in a similar can? I can’t remember how many oz. the size was or even how much it costs, but I still remember the chips basically had no seasoning on them. It didn’t taste anything like I had remembered. Very bland. You know? If it had still had that flavor that it had before and satisfied that craving that I had, I would probably still buy some from time to time just to indulge once in a while, but since it wasn’t even worthy of some knock-off generic imitation, I ain’t spending $5 - $10 for a bag just to be disappointed all over again. Oh well.... |

The fertilizer issue here probably has not reached its peak yet, at least not for those of us at the end of the supply chain. I am somewhat concerned about the sky-high prices for birds and the bottomed-out bovine stocks. But I don't expect to starve. I am concerned about the needy who show up at the charity I am associated with. There are more of them than before, and food prices keep squeezing. Perhaps it is too soon to let up just yet. Yon was predicting food disaster as early as autumn of 2022. I think we can safely say he missed it by at least 9 months, and maybe a lot longer. I note he is not talking about famine nearly as much now and is now going on about the migration issue. On that topic, I think he is correct to be worried. I haven't heard much from Peter Zeihen lately either. Did he quietly revise his thinking? |

I haven't heard much from Peter Zeihen lately either. Did he quietly revise his thinking? I do think you’re right on the timing. I believe most think it will happen sooner that it actually does because what they see is so big, it must be coming very quickly. After all in the real world, little sports cars go fast, but big trucks are the ones that move slow. Yon does still posts about famine from time fo time. I haven’t been relaying some of those posts as much lately due to not having access to the full post content or accompanying video. Sometimes I can wait a day or two and find the complete package, sometimes it’s still not accessible. Even then, most pertain to his thoughts towards his initial prediction and not what’s currently happening somewhere in the world. Timing is always the biggest variable with anything. Hyper-inflation, CBDC, war, solar flares, collapse of countries, companies, institutions, economies, etc..., we can see many of these things coming, but when will they actually arrive? Will they arrive at all? I’ve daydreamed about what I’m going to do once I get home from work before and end up getting in a traffic jam due to a wreck ahead. Sometimes, I’m able to get off the freeway and bypass the accident, sometimes I’m not near an exit ramp don’t have that option. Either way, my plans usually are either amended or scrapped altogether as a result. Even the smallest variable can have a big impact on timing. Maybe that ain’t the best analogy, but it’s all I got in me today. |

Here is one of Michael Yon’s postings mentioning famine from today. I just can’t access of find the accompanying video -
https://michaelyon.locals.com/post/1020159/my-latest-interview Michael Yon@MichaelYon 8 hours ago Make Iguana Eggs Great Again 02 Feb 2023 Panama, Central America Was tracking ‘migrants’ yesterday. These Embera Indians sell pork, chicken, and iguana to migrants. Been awhile since I had iguana. When i saw the eggs, reminded me of egg prices in America. Exploding due to the attacks on our food supply. When we go into global famines, know who caused it. Some Swiss are working to kick WEF out of Switzerland. Globalists/CCP are directly responsible for the invasions of Europe and North America. More guilty are the Europeans and Americans who allow this to continue. Hunger will spread soon. Why are more FEMA camps on the horizon in America? To pen and exterminate the sheep? To assemble, indoctrinate, and to arm these invaders from around the world? What do you think? ——— |

After Egypt the rest of Africa is fucked. ME will have issues. He has not mentioned India or Pakistan. Although India is pissed at Germany over NG and India needs the NG for fertilizer. He also says the US cannot produce enough to stop it. The US will be fine but have higher prices. |

All the walmart brand knockoffs have that disclaimer including some well known brands. |
