Last week, I received news from a contact who is friends with one of the biggest billionaire shipping families in the world. He told me they had no ships at sea right now, because operating them meant running at a loss.
This weekend, reports are circulating saying much the same thing: The North Atlantic has little or no cargo ships traveling in its waters. Instead, they are anchored. Unmoving. Empty.

Not ALL shipping has stopped., But a very large portion of it has.
Yes, a lot of FUD here, yet...it does spotlight a disturbing trend.

There have been some observers commenting for months on the Baltic Dry Index and the lack of cargo shipping
Meanwhile ships loaded with oil are sitting at sea, no demand
If the shelves at Walmart and Dollar Tree are empty within a month, we’ll know this is true.

Fake claim that appeared to start on zero hedge. Ships are still coming in and out of ports.

A quick search of FR will turn up the thread, and the port arrivals websites.
thanks! That was the post I was looking for.
Why excerpt this blog with the fake claim?
The Baltic Dri Index does seem to be falling off a cliff.

On the other hand, there is still plenty of fresh fruit in the grocery stores. Therefore SOMETHING is moving.
not true Please don’t feed the fears.
I did a search as per normal protocol. Said thread must not have been recent.
To save space and for discussion purposes. It's the first I've heard of it.
WHY WORRY.....
you’re all prepared aren’t you
not in debt over your head
not leveraged in the market
able to sustain yourself for a few months
a stash of ready cash when the banks close down
a generator when the lights go out
food wehn the market shelves are bare
you’re able to protect yourself and your family cause you have the means to protect yourself
remember the cops will take 20-30 minutes to respond... if at all
if not eating doughnuts or sleeping
right ???????
YEAH RIGHT
SURE YOU ARE
the word ‘baloney’ comes to mind
It is all going over the cliff, you know. SHTF times may not be far behind.
This topic most certainly shall NOT be touched upon at the State of the Union message, or if it is, somehow it will be shifted to “Republicans’ fault”.
