Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu said “An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.”
This is exactly what we are seeing in the policies of the WEF (World Economic Forum) and the United Nations policy of " Agenda 2030", as well as our own national _residential policies.
The situation is the same in the Netherlands where they want farmers to quit farming and reduce their livestock.
It seems they all forget about the demonstration project in Sri Lanka of eliminating all nitrogen for agricultural products,
and now Sri Lankans now have run-away inflation, as well as social and economic chaos, as well as government instability.
The basic "Prepper Rule" is :
"Store what you eat, ..and eat what you store"(food rotation program to lower expenses and cut down waste).
Where do you start ? Look at your last 3 - 4 weeks food bills for stuff that you regularly use. Instead of buying 2 cans of tuna, buy 3 cans and put one up in storage.
Then anticipate shortages of essential commodities according to what you are able to purchase and can store: food, batteries, clothing, medicines, transportation, home heating, fuel, power, glasses, charcoal, etc.
Don't go into debt to get and store Prepper supplies; use closets, under the bed storage, for regular purchases, or cover boxes with plywood and a tablecloth,
which then becomes regular and common furniture etc., etc.
Over a period of time, prepping becomes a habit and a lifestyle of economy, especially in the time of inflation where prices rise bi-monthly or more frequently.
