We need a hydroponics revolution, but the masters of our world will never tolerate losing control of the food supply to the starving masses. All of my kids have been taught to grow their own; hunt their own; raise there own, and store their own, and it probably won’t make any difference when the SWAT teams raid and destroy food hoards and gardens.

I'm sure this has been posted before but here is a refresher

Anyone out there think that this 
stuff isn't happening today in the U.S. ? All eight rules are
currently in play

How to create a social state by
Saul Alinsky:

There are eight levels of 
control that must be obtained before you are 
able to create a social state. The first is the 
most important.

1) Healthcare– Control healthcare and 
you control the people

2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty 
level as high as possible, poor people are 
easier to control and will not fight back if you 
are providing everything for them to live.

3) Debt – Increase the debt to an 
unsustainable level. That way you are able to 
increase taxes, and this will produce more 
poverty.

4) Gun Control– Remove the ability to 
defend themselves from the Government. That way 
you are able to create a police state.

5) Welfare – Take control of every 
aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and 
Income)

6) Education – Take control of what 
people read and listen to – take control of what 
children learn in school.

7) Religion – Remove the belief in 
the God from the Government and schools

8) Class Warfare – Divide the people 
into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause 
more discontent and it will be easier to take 
(Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.

Does any of this sound like what is 
happening to the United States ?

Remember the EPA/Government/Greenie chant: It is better to grow corn for ethanol than it is to grow it to feed people and animals.

Those of you, who haven't already done so, start gardening. Plant some perennial grains here and there, too. And don't fear the trolling political regulators. They'll be laid off soon enough.

So where does YOUR state stand?

We need, not only to grow some/more of our own food, we need to encourage farmers to grow and sell at farmer's markets - then when TSHIF, and the trucks stop rolling, bringing food from far off states to stock your grocers shelves, There will be food available locally -
