Prepare for the Bread Lines

Sunday, June 15, 2008 (03:18:35)
When Herbert Hoover took office, the economy was booming and times were good. During his four year term, household income fell 35% and unemployment rose to 25%. The Great Depression began after his first year in office, and despite efforts to implement volunteer efforts and government action, he was unable to end the economy's downward spiral. He lacked charisma in relating to voters and had poor skills in working with politicians.

Sound familiar?

George Bush's approval ratings hover between 25-28%. Jimmy Carter's popularity dipped to 28% in 1979 and Richard Nixon and Harry Truman suffered ratings in the low-to-mid 20% in the last years of their administrations. The difference between the other president's low ratings and that of George Bush, GW's are accompanied by a severe downturn in the economy. No matter what he says from the podium or what Bernanke of the Federal Reserve Bank says, people are worse off now that they were eight years ago.

Today, I make less than one fifth what I used to make, my bills have more than doubled and my current job is instable.

I know I am not alone.

World Hunger - Who Is To Blame?

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Many parts of America, long considered the breadbasket of the world, are now confronting a once unthinkable phenomenon: food rationing. Major retailers in New York, in areas of New England, and on the West Coast are limiting purchases of flour, rice, and cooking oil as demand outstrips supply. There are also anecdotal reports that some consumers are hoarding grain stocks.  

At a Costco Warehouse in Mountain View, Calif., yesterday, shoppers grew frustrated and occasionally uttered expletives as they searched in vain for the large sacks of rice they usually buy.


Food prices are soaring.  Millions of people around the world are starving.  Who is to blame? 

The answer to that question may surprise you.

Overcome With Reality

Luke 12:54-56
12:54 Jesus also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A rainstorm is coming,’ and it does.
12:55 And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and there is.
12:56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how can you not know how to interpret the present time?

People think they are pretty smart. Everyone does. They believe that their own logic is infallible. They believe they have a grip on their surroundings and are able to second guess the majority of troubles that come their way. It's a survival mechanism that we all have, or at least...well, we believe we have it.

When we don't have enough information to plan for the near future, we look to experts who also believe their logic is infallible. That's where we run into trouble, because people are not as smart as they think they are. Perhaps you are feeling the pain and embarrassment of misplaced faith.

OCEANO, California (AP) -- A homeless woman has died of suffocation after being buried by three men on a California beach -- a fate her family described as her greatest fear.

Three men were being held on involuntary manslaughter charges in the death Wednesday of 53-year-old Patricia Ann Kalbskopf.

They allegedly poured sand over her while she was passed out drunk at some dunes along the state's central coast.

Investigators say they don't believe the men, who were also drinking, intended to kill Kalbskopf, but their actions resulted in her death.

Kalbskopf's niece, Lisa Cruz, said her aunt's fear of burial was so acute she made the family promise to cremate her after her death. The family plans to honor the request.

Whatever Happened to SARS?

Monday, May 05, 2008 (04:04:44)
Do you remember SARS? Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome struck between November 2002 and July 2003, with 8,096 known infected cases and 774 deaths. Paranoid schizophrenics posted all over the Internet, stating that the pandemic would fill hospitals to capacity. There would be bodies lying in the streets, food shortages, lack of emergency services and ultimately, Marshall Law. Then came the news of Avian Flu. Were you one of those who raided the grocery stores, bought guns and ammunition and N95 face masks?

Will SARS or the bird flu get us? Probably. We'll also be destroyed by hurricanes, earthquakes, super bugs, global warming and we'll become slaves to the New World Order.
