much as humanity would like to think that our technology has conquered nature, that simply is not the case.
Without
the rain that falls from the sky, there would be mass starvation on this
planet. We are not immune to drought, and there are a lot of indications
that the drought we are experiencing right now is just the beginning of a
longer trend.
For

The
heat and drought are causing massive problems for farmers and ranchers all over
the country. The following is an excerpt from the shocking information
that Ron Klinefelter shared on standeyo.com the other day....
This
month, the 3 nearest cattlemen’s livestock auctions set ALL TIME EVER records
for livestock sales, as farmers sell off their herds. There was only one early
cutting of hay this year, and the round bales are going for $100/bale. (This
should normally cost $20-25/bale.) We had a pipe break in our 340 foot deep
well, which necessitated us getting the pump pulling truck out here this last
month. When we originally drilled the well, in the “plenty of rain years”, the
water rose to within 24 feet of the surface. Last month, it was 180 feet down
to the water level, and we are down in a valley bottom, and not irrigating out
of it. The guy pulling the pump told me that the call he made earlier in the
day to a guy who wasn’t getting any water in his pressure tank, found, when
they pulled the pump, that the water level was now 40 feet BELOW the pump,
which was completely dry and burnt out! Some of the rural water systems have
also run out of water, and burnt their pumps out.

Coupled
with hot and humid summer weather, the prolonged blackout has forced outraged
citizens to take to the streets to protest the tough living conditions.
According
to PressTV,
power company offices all over the country have been attacked by angry
citizens....
Offices
of Pepco, the Pakistan Electric Power Company, were also attacked in Islamabad,
Abbottabad, Charsadda, Okara, Multan, Mandi Bahauddin, Sialkot, and Sheikhupura
and many of them were reportedly set ablaze.
So
what happens someday if the power goes out for all of us for an extended period
of time?
All
it would take is one really, really bad solar storm. A massive EMP burst
from the sun could potentially fry electronics all over the planet.
Scientists tell us that such a burst has happened before and that one is likely
to happen again.
In a previous article, I discussed what the world might
look like after such an EMP burst....
Just
imagine a world where nobody has power, most cars will not start, the Internet
has been fried, the financial system is offline indefinitely, nobody can make
any phone calls and virtually all commerce across the entire country is brought
to a complete stop. A nation that does not know how to live without
technology would be almost entirely stripped of it at that point.
So
are you ready for these things?
Are
you ready for the power grid to go down?
Are
you ready for a massive food shortage caused by extended drought?
Just
because we have experienced incredibly good times for decades does not mean that
things will always be that way.
Our
world is becoming increasingly unstable. The economy is falling apart, war in the
In
such an environment, it only makes sense to work hard to prepare yourself and
your family for what is coming.
There
is evidence that the system is starting to fail wherever you look, so now is
the time to work to become more independent of the system.
In
the end, it is those that are totally dependent on the system that will feel
the most pain when everything begins to completely fall apart.
