I have tried and tried to warn people that this government means to use food as a weapon to force compliance with its will, but may on hear thought I was nuts, they think that the free market will save them, that there's no need for strategic stock plies of food. Between this bill, the fact that there are no longer food reserves being held and with the Chinese so flush with dollars that they will be able to buy the bread right out of our mouths those not prepared will have a long road to hoe. Those of you claiming silver and gold are the answer try eating it. When bread is scarce available and you have a loaf how much are you going to be willing to sell it for? Food, guns and ammo.
A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

I agree I also worry about them confiscating the gold so I have only a small amount preferring to be ready and have supplies. I think you can also barter better if there is a bank holiday, etc.

Me, too. It's awful late now for warnings.
