Empty Store Shelves Coming to America

Empty Store Shelves Coming to America

The National Inflation Association today issued a warning to all Americans that empty store shelves will likely be coming to America as a result of government price controls during the upcoming hyperinflationary crisis. This morning, NIA released a video preview of what hyperinflation will look like in the U.S. This extremely important must see video is now available on NIA's video page. http://inflation.us/videos.html

NIA's six-minute video released today goes into detail about an event that took place just outside of Boston, Massachusetts in May of this year. This story was widely ignored by the nationwide mainstream media, but NIA believes it was one of the most important news events of the first half of 2010. Although this particular crisis in Boston was due to decaying infrastructure, NIA believes a currency crisis will lead to the same type of panic on a nationwide basis.

NIA hopes that this video serves as a wake-up call for Americans to take the necessary steps to prepare for hyperinflation and become educated about the U.S. economy. In Zimbabwe during hyperinflation, Zimbabweans were forced to transact in gold and silver. It's only a matter of time before the U.S. dollar becomes worthless and the only Americans with wealth will be those who own gold and silver.

Citizens of Boston were able to survive their recent crisis with the help of the National Guard, but the National Guard won't be there for Americans during hyperinflation. 40.2 million Americans are currently living off of food stamps, but food stamps won't have any purchasing power during hyperinflation. The United States' day of reckoning is ahead. We cannot go on living with record budget deficits and accelerating national debt growth forever.

Just yesterday it was announced that for the first time ever, a major credit ratings agency has given China a higher credit rating than the U.S. While most credit ratings agencies including Moody's, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings still rate U.S. debt as AAA, NIA believes the real credit rating of the U.S. should be junk. The only way one could possibly justify a U.S. credit rating of AAA is by taking into account the Federal Reserve's ability to monetize our debt through inflation. However, printing money to pay off debt is a lot worse than defaulting on it. Inflation is very deceptive, it destroys the value of savings while transferring wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich.

The U.S. has a budget deficit just from Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid alone. NIA urges President Obama to implement dramatic cuts to these entitlement programs immediately, while simultaneously reducing the size of government across the board. Time is growing short for Obama to rein in government spending. The longer Obama waits to reverse course, the harder it will be for the U.S. to recover from the calamity that is about to unfold.

Please forward this message to everybody you know. It is essential to the well-being of all your family members and friends that they watch our new video entitled "Empty Store Shelves Coming to America" by going to: http://inflation.us/videos.html

The fit will hit the shan eventually.
I do not agree that Social Security is an entitlement. It was intended as a "trust" account. Originally the account was to be separate from all other government money and used only for the elderly or disabled.
Typically, the government stole the money from us that we paid in over our entire lifetimes. It will be the same with healthcare insurance. We are forced to pay in but are limited on what we will receive in return.

I do not expect Social Security to be there for me in 10 years, when I reach retirement age. I have no large nest egg or IRA. I do have a home paid for, a refuge hideaway, and very little debt (truck payment)
I do believe we need to adjust to the idea of having much less income and less buying power. Time to study the old ways, before electricity and stocked grocery store shelves. Most of all, have a plan to GET OUT OF THE LARGE CITIES !!!!

I do believe you are right but man did i get a good laught at the political correct comment

Time for people to start relying on their God given skills instead of what can be had at the stores.

We have a small yard, and have turned the whole thing into a garden. We just harvested our potatoes, and are getting ready to pant the next batch. Our harvest was about 25 pounds, and could have been bigger had we planned it better and the weather had been a bit more cooperative (we had a late start to our spring, too much rain). Peas coming in, green beans, corn and carrots. It is not a lot, but whatever people can do for themselves will benefit them in the long run and get them off of the failing systems rolls.

Remember there are thousands of your neighbors who are completly UNPREPARED for any disruption of power, water, or food. They will be out looking for supplies.
Better stockpile more than food.......

Texan, that is so true. Lately, our town, population just over 100,000 , which the main new population is all of the metro areas "disidents" from the yuppy buyout of once poor neighborhoods in Portland. So, the majority of these people live a completely different lifestyle (my nice way of saying they are welfare lapping, government trained dysfunctionals, breeding more dysfunctionals out here now).

These people worry me, a lot. I see them in the grocery store, spending their 500 dollars or so in food stamps on junk food. They will be the panickers, and the ones who will be the main trouble. Our only hope is where we live. Sound funny? It's not. The complex is older, looks on it's way to being run down, and likely not much of a target. Anyone would walk in and see it here and think there was nothing to get. Then they will target the nicer neighborhood right behind us and beyond.

I also know my way around all of the open forest lands around here (where there are springs for fresh clean water), and we always have our camping gear intact and ready all in the garage, so if needed, we could get out of town. However, I presume we would be left alone just due to the appearance of where we live.

Also starting to buy some silver. My son and I discussed this lastnight, and the idea to have a "fake-out" store of stuff, so if it ever came to it, things went bad and you have nutty people raiding homes, you hand that stuff to them and make a big deal out of it being all you have, but it really isn't. I firmly believe where we live, they would believe it.

Give turnips a try. They grow at the same rate as potatoes and you can use the leaves for greens while you are waiting for the turnips. You get to use the whole plant. Turnip leaves taste better if they are cooked, like in stew or soup. They can also be stir fried. They are very easy to grow....and nutritious.

For those of us who can not afford to buy silver or gold right now, think about what you can provide to those with gold and silver.
You can not eat gold or silver. People will need food, water, gas, medical supplies, shelter. Gather what you can to make a survival kit. Barter with what you have.
I feel like God has been preparing us for something really bad for a long time. We have lived with no electricity for months, almost lost our home in the '80's. Did some dehydrating and canning veggies for Y2k. We have bow hunters in the family who are quite good at it and can butcher and make jerky out of almost any meat. What we do not have much of is money to invest in gold or silver.
Something is going to happen. I don't know what or when. Praying people need to pray for instruction. God is able to supply all our needs. HE fed 40,000 in the wilderness before, HE can do it again.

redpony, good idea, but we are just not turnip eaters. Never grew up on them. Any root vegetable is the best to grow, as it can be kept good for a long time under the right conditions. Apples are this way too.

Texas, we have a food dehydrator, and need to start putting it to use. I also had wanted one of those vaccum seal appliances. Dehydrated food needs to be sealed or it can still grow mold.

Hunting I have never done, but if needed, could. Have to admit we had broiler chickens and simply took them to a "processors" down the road for a fee. They have a nice set-up of machines that do the gutting and feather removal, quite convenient.

We are aiming on moving soon, out of town, and would love to have our own milk cow (they now sell "portable" milking machines). Chickens for eggs and meat.

Coming from a daughter of a baker, remember, any baking mixes with shortening in them can go rancid, so it is best to just store flour, not to invest in too many mixes. Shortening unopened is ok, so is any oils (these would be very important to have in a stocked pantry situation). Even saw that some of the freeze dried companies have freeze dried butter and shortening, not a bad idea to get.

Have tried the dried, powdered butter.....yuk

Been thinking about a milk cow too. Our refuge place has a cold stream. Isn't that how the settlers kept milk? If you have milk, you can make butter.

That bad eh? Well, the freeze dried meals are not much to speak of either, but in a pinch it would be the difference between eating, or not, but so long as electricity was still available, butter can keep frozen for a long time. Shortening once opened (any oils) can go rancid, but if kept cool enough, in the dark, they should stay good for along time.

Our favorite so far is the freeze dried strawberries :D .

AmericanElizabeth - It sounds like you only have part of the equation. It is good that you have a garden and some "fake out items". However, it is folly to underestimate the depravity and desperation of those "dissidents" of whom you speak. They will not hesitate to take everything you have, including your life. I would suggest that you invest not only in silver, but also in lead (.38 claiber or better) :lol: . Then anything you share with the miscreants will be at your pleasure. For the rest, let them crawl to their masters in the government. And if they starve, all the better.

Good to 'see' you again Havoc - i'ts been a while. The situation yoiu described made me think of that movie that came out last year called the Road. Im going to have to get the book.....

I agree human depravity shows itself in the most desperate situations, as with hurricane Katrina.

I also agree having a gun (or three, my son is almost 18, husband was in military and has handled them) is prudent, it is just a hard pill for me to swallow, I did not grow up with guns, so it seems "strange" to me to have to consider guns now.

I do have a friend who currently has property not far away, and in case of truly bad circumstances, we'd go there. I also am thinking about taking some stores to her place for safekeeping too, she and I have been friends for 37 years, and we know she and her husband are trustworthy for this.

Thanks SicNTiredInSoCal. I have been lurking, if not actively posting. Sometimes I get so angry when reading these stories that I can not reply because I know my replies would reflect my anger and get deleted so I fume in silence. It is ironic that you spoke about 'The Road". It is a great example of the depths that human beings will sink to in times of stress. By the way, the movie is very close to the book except the book adds a little more grittiness.

AmericanElizabeth - I understand your apprehension about guns. Many people did not grow up around guns and therfore they have an initial fear of them. I am an avid target shooter and one of my great joys is seeing that smile that comes across a new shooters face when they realize the power and freedom that they can have by becoming a responsible gun owner. I hope that as you go forward with your contingency plans you will seriously consider that without the ability to protect what you have, you really have nothing.
