Are they going to make weekly visits to ensure that you "eat your peas"?

Saw a picture posted on Twitter of the Venezuelan Natl Guard “inspecting” shopping carts to make sure they’re not violating any rules.

Anyway, my first thought on seeing that, was the left in this country would love to post cops at the exits of grocery stores to “inspect” your cart for food you “shouldn’t be eating.” Is this so crazy to think it may not ever happen?

one step closer to the mark of the beast

One of the many successes of socialism.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. Revelation 13:17

[Marcella]

When I bought long term food, I ordered it in amounts that wouldn't cause someone to wonder what all those boxes were. I bought some one month, skipped a month, bought some the next month, so the boxes coming weren't stacks of them at one time and not every month.

Went to store today, bought four cans of Hormel roast beef and gravy. I keep buying cans of meat as no long term food is meat. The stamp on these meat cans says Sell By 1-4-2016. Now, since it is “sell by” that means it's still good way past 2016. It should be good almost forever but, when about to open, always check cans for leakage or swelling or bad smell when opened.

I understand why the govn. is giving out cards to track food because people were buying every day and selling it for more money rather than using it. But, they will eventually use the cards to allow you only to buy “x” number of something.

Yes, it's important in this country to buy food now while there is plenty of it. Buying when there is plenty, is not hoarding. When there is little of it, buying it all, would be called hoarding.

I go by what happened on board that ship when it was stranded in the ocean due to a fire in the engine room, and food couldn't get delivered to them. They set up lines, buffet style, and people filled their plates, then stuck more food in their pockets and purses. So, the crew put up signs to take only what you put on your plate so others could have food. The people ignored that and still took more food than on their plate - into pockets and purses it went. They didn't care if others didn't get food, they were going to take all they could for themselves.

That is what is going to happen if we are short of food here. People will not leave food for others. There is plenty for everyone now, so buy all you can. And, DON'T FORGET PICKLE RELISH for all that tuna in the can. A tuna sandwich cries out for pickle relish.

Instead of admitting socialism is a failure

And this situation is a perfect example of why the communists want to take away the guns from the public. Which is easier to control, a city such as Chicago or several rural counties. The Chicago people have no guns (and the gang bangers will be recruited by the police) and it will be little more than sheep herding.

One of the best books ever written on commies is A Revolution In The Family by Shirley Christian. Documents Sandinistas takeover of Nicaragua. One day there was thriving farmer’s markets with amazing crops. The very next day, rationing. Commies, liberals, socialists, National Socialists, I hate them all.

When you have ruined your country’s economy, you have to ration out what little is left somehow . . .
