From cops guarding grocery store dumpsters to prevent people from scavenging foods that have not gone bad yet, to inflation, to food index projections, we are seeing the results of the arbitrary state lockdowns, flooding, early freezes and a number of issues in between.

Food price increases, food insecurity, joblessness number still extremely high, and a nation that “feels” on edge, are all contributing factors felt in nations before social unrest.

Food in connected to almost everything we do. If hungry, one doesn’t think properly, the worse the hunger, the worse the thinking. One also doesn’t sleep well if terrified of how they are going to keep feeding their children, or even keeping a roof over their head. That stress almost always effects the health of those under the most stress. Doctors bill soon occur, and if one cannot afford to put dinner on the table, they certainly can’t afford to get sick, etc….etc….etc…

That is just one example of the overwhelming chain reaction that one small problem can cause.

With the media still in the “Biden is NOT Orange Man Bad, therefore everything he does we support” mode, the issues of food prices, general inflation, and food insecurity nationally versus globally, is relegated to bottom of the fold news, if they report on it at all.

The point here is that food and water are two things no one can live without, and with food prices rising fast than incomes are, people other than preppers need to start learning about vegetable, fruit and herb gardening.

Sure folks can, and should have a healthy stock of freeze dried fruits and veggies, but nothing even comes close in comparison to your own home grown food. It is fresh, you know what is in it, when it was harvested, no added chemicals to keep it looking fresh, and best of all, aside from the initial gardening and planting costs, free. 

After your first harvest, you have generally made your money back on what you spent to start your gardens.

This also applies to preppers that know all about growing their own food, because Spring is almost here and it that time again to get your sprouts started, your garden area tilled in preparation for planting.

Note: For those that have absolutely no time to grow your own fruit and veggie garden due to work, no space, health issues, whatever, we do have our ‘Still Or Back In Stock ANP Shopping Page‘, which I will update again next week.

ARE YOU READY FOR SPRING?

Artichokes, Arugula, Asparagus, Beets, Broccoli, Snow Peas, Carrots, Celery, Swiss Chard, Fennel, Garlic, Kale, Leeks, Lettuce, Radishes, Rhubarb, Spinach, Corn, Scallions, Potatoes, Cucumbers, Honeydew Melon, Tomatoes, Beans, and Raspberries, are just some of the fruits and vegetables that can be started in the spring.

For those with the space, time, energy and incentive to keep up with an outdoor garden, sprouting indoors to prepare for planting later, gives you time to get your garden area tilled and prepared.

Keeping books on gardening should always come in handy, especially if for some unforeseen reason one cannot get online to look up some pertinent information on gardening.

Grow bags are also an awesome way to grow certain vegetables. Most call themselves potato planting bags, but the can be used for carrots, peppers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and more.

Bags can also be moved around if necessary, protecting your fruits and/or vegetables from bad weather or other things that can ruin your garden.

CRITTERS AND CREATURES

One of the most annoying aspects of gardening, at least for Stefan and I, are the critters and creatures that simply love to eat our newly planted gardens. From deer to chipmunks, possums to rabbits and anything else that lives in your specific areas, they can ruin countless hours of works and quite literally take the food off your table.

I see people recommending fences as a first line of defense, but personally those haven’t worked out well for us. The deer jump over them, chipmunks and rabbits just go through the holes in the fencing, and birds are almost impossible to keep out.

Some easy fixes include planting something unappealing to the wildlife, like garlic or onions, surrounding the plants you do want to protect.

Others use things like chili powder, one taste and the chippers run for the hills.

Some use those little foil strips which shine from the sun and blow in the wind and scare animals away.

BOTTOM LINE

Food insecurity is hitting millions of Americans, from the lockdowns to the job losses, along with the extreme price increases that are expected to rise even more, it has never been as important than right now, to start preparing to rely on only yourself and your family.

Once you are starving, it is too late.

For those that want to garden indoors, we will be addressing that and what is needed in an upcoming piece.

Happy growing everyone!!

Jacob Rothschild wrote the US dollar “is being phased out not with a whimper but with the bang of a mushroom cloud in the creation of unlimited trillions.””Quite frankly even if we were to make the US dollar debt to us $70 trillion as you say, what we have found is that people around the world, despite complaining about our alleged abuses of power, still keep demanding the stuff. It is very similar to the heroin industry, which grew out of our venture in China in the 19th century during the opium trade. The more you produce the more people get addicted to the stuff.”
Rothschild revealed that the plan is to create US dollars until the bubble pops. The plan is to replace it with a digital world currency. But this will take a financial crisis. The question is how much money will they need to create until this happens?  In the meantime we are witnessing a financial feeding frenzy.
Patriot Rising: “Yes, it is nice to get a big, fat government check in the mail. But in the process we are rapidly destroying our currency, and what we are doing to future generations of Americans is beyond criminal.”So This Is How The U.S. Dollar Dies…by Patriot Rising(henrymakow.com)
Our leaders are killing the U.S. dollar, and it is being done to thunderous applause. The House and the Senate have now both passed the 1.9 trillion dollar “COVID relief bill”, and it will go to Joe Biden’s desk for his signature. 
 Of course we don’t actually have 1.9 trillion dollars to spend on yet another “COVID relief” package. In fact, we don’t even have one dollar to spend on another “COVID relief” package. 
 Every single dollar that is spent will have to be “borrowed,” and that will soon push our national debt beyond the 30 trillion dollar mark. 
 Sadly, our politicians seem convinced that giant mountains of dollars can be printed, borrowed and spent indefinitely without any repercussions, and most Americans fully support what they are doing. 
 In fact, one recent poll found that a whopping 78 percent of all Americans support more stimulus checks… A huge majority of Americans, including nearly two-thirds of Republicans, support the $1,400 stimulus checks President Biden is calling for, and his full $1.9 trillion stimulus proposal also has strong public backing, according to a new poll from Quinnipiac University. 
 The poll found that 78 percent of Americans supported the stimulus checks, including 90 percent of Democrats and 64 percent of Republicans — suggesting that Republicans in Congress who want to reduce the checks to $1,000 are out of step with their constituents on this issue. 
 If you are in that 78 percent, you are wrong. Yes, it is nice to get a big, fat government check in the mail. But in the process we are rapidly destroying our currency, and what we are doing to future generations of Americans is beyond criminal. 
 Previous COVID relief bills have had wide bipartisan support, but this one passed almost entirely along party lines… The final vote Saturday in the Senate was 50-49 with all Republicans voting against the measure and all members of the Senate Democratic caucus supporting it. 
Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, was not present for the vote. In the House, it didn’t earn a single Republican vote in the two times the bill came to a vote. Biden ran on his ability to broker bipartisan efforts on Capitol Hill, drawing on his 36 years in the Senate and eight years as vice president. 
Republicans have viewed the bill as a betrayal of the bipartisanship Biden embraced and spoke of during his campaign. This is being called a “big win” for Biden, and when Pelosi announced that the bill had passed the House she did a little “shimmy”… 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the 220-211 vote result from the chair, prompting the bill’s supporters to burst into applause. Just a single Democrat voted against it. Her glee at the outcome was evident even though she had a mask on. She executed what her daughter Christine called a ‘shimmy’ as she gavelled down the vote in a chamber where a five-vote majority gave her very little wiggle room.
 After the vote was over, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy referred to the COVID relief package as “socialism”… He described it as a “laundry list of leftwing priorities” that “do not meet the needs of American families.” 
 “It is very liberal,” he said. “They called this the most progressive piece of legislation in history. For those who are watching, progressive means socialism.” 
 He is right, but I just wish that he would have figured that out several COVID relief packages ago. Because the truth is that what we have already done to our currency is absolutely nightmarish. 
This is the latest M1 chart from the Federal Reserve… 
 Thanks to our wild spending politicians and unprecedented intervention in the financial markets by the Federal Reserve, we have now entered an era of hyperinflation. 
 It took from the founding of the United States to 2020 for M1 to get to 4 trillion dollars. And then it took about one year for M1 to go from 4 trillion dollars to 18 trillion dollars. This is utter madness. 
 Of course the chart above doesn’t even reflect the impact that this new COVID relief package will have. Another 1.9 trillion dollars is about to be poured into the system, and that will make things even worse. 
 Needless to say, most Wall Street investors are absolutely thrilled that another tsunami of money is coming. 
 One recent poll found that “37% of Main Street investors” plan to pour stimulus money directly into the Wall Street casino… A recent Deutsche Bank survey found that 37% of Main Street investors, some of who could be members of the Reddit community, will plow a “large chunk” of stimulus money, about $170 billion, “directly into equities.” 

These small but mighty investors have gained notoriety in recent months, creating volatility and heavy volume in a number of heavily shorted stocks, such as GameStop Corp., AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and Bed Bath & Beyond Inc.
That should be very good news for stocks, but of course a major “trigger event” could crash the market at any time. So we will have to wait and see how all of this plays out.
Just hours after the House passed the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion stimulus package (which will unleash another wave of “stimmies” that will inevitably find their way into millions of Robinhood and other discount brokerage accounts), President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he would unveil “the next phase” of the US COVID-19 response on Thursday, which is also the one-year anniversary of the first COVID-inspired lockdowns in the US. Even if more stimulus checks are not involved, any new programs that Biden announces will cost money, and that involve more borrowing.
We are printing, borrowing and spending our way into oblivion, and we have nobody but ourselves to blame. As I was preparing to write this article, I just kept thinking of the scene from one of the Star Wars movies where Emperor Palpatine announces that the Republic will be reorganized as “the first Galactic Empire”, and the Senate erupts in applause. Our Republic is dying too, and our politicians are gleefully murdering the reserve currency of the entire planet. This is not going to end well, but you already knew that.

Trump’s covid advisor, Scott W. Atlas, 66, has discovered that anyone who questions the covid hoax narrative is mercilessly vilified. 
Communism is a satanic cult. It cannot win an honest debate because everything it promotes is a lie. Its goal is to destroy Western civilization. 
To enforce conformity,  it resorts to slander, misrepresentation and intimidation, including blackmail & murder.  

“With social media acting as the arbiter of allowable discussion, and with continued censorship and cancellation of those with views challenging the “accepted narrative,” the United States is on the verge of losing its cherished freedoms.”

MAKOW- Atlas works for the Hoover Institute so he can’t mention that the cancer that afflicts us is Communism, and its source is the Masonic Jewish central banking cartel. see What is Communism?
Protocols of Zion 5-1 —“We shall regulate mechanically all the actions of the political life of our subjects by new laws. These laws will withdraw one by one all the indulgences and liberties which have been permitted by the GOYIM, and our kingdom will be distinguished by a despotism of such magnificent proportions as to be at any moment and in every place in a position to wipe out any GOYIM who oppose us by deed or word.”

Science, Politics, and COVID: Will Truth Prevail?

The following is adapted from a speech delivered on February 18, 2021, at a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar in Phoenix, Arizona.
(abridged by henrymakow.com)
The COVID pandemic has been a tragedy, no doubt. But it has exposed profound issues in America that threaten the principles of freedom and order that we Americans often take for granted.
First, I have been shocked at the unprecedented exertion of power by the government since last March–issuing unilateral decrees, ordering the closure of businesses, churches, and schools, restricting personal movement, mandating behavior, and suspending indefinitely basic freedoms. 
Second, I was and remain stunned–almost frightened–at the acquiescence of the American people to such destructive, arbitrary, and wholly unscientific rules, restrictions, and mandates.
The pandemic also brought to the forefront things we have known existed and have tolerated for years: media bias, the decline of academic freedom on campuses, the heavy hand of Big Tech, and–now more obviously than ever–the politicization of science. Ultimately, the freedom of Americans to seek and state what they believe to be the truth is at risk….
SUPPRESSION OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM
And sadly, just as in Galileo’s time, the root of our problem lies in “the experts” and vested academic interests. At many universities–which are supposed to be America’s centers for critical thinking–those with views contrary to those of “the experts” currently in power find themselves intimidated. Many have become afraid to speak up.
But the suppression of academic freedom is not the extent of the problem on America’s campuses.

To take Stanford, where I work, as an example, some professors have resorted to toxic smears in opinion pieces and organized rebukes aimed at those of us who criticized the failed health policies of the past year and who dared to serve our country under a president they despised–the latter apparently being the ultimate transgression.
Defamatory attacks with malicious intent based on straw-man arguments and out-of-context distortions are not acceptable in American society, let alone in our universities. There has been an attempt to intimidate and discredit me using falsifications and misrepresentations. This violates Stanford’s Code of Conduct, damages the Stanford name, and abuses the trust that parents and society place in educators.
It is understandable that most Stanford professors are not experts in the field of health policy and are ignorant of the data about the COVID pandemic. But that does not excuse the fact that some called recommendations that I made “falsehoods and misrepresentations of science.” That was a lie, and no matter how often lies are repeated by politically-driven accusers, and regardless of how often those lies are echoed in biased media, lies will never be true…
The claim in a recent Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) opinion piece by three Stanford professors that “nearly all public health experts were concerned that [Scott Atlas’s] recommendations could lead to tens of thousands (or more) of unnecessary deaths in the U.S. alone” is patently false and absurd on its face. 
As pointed out by Dr. Joel Zinberg in National Review, the Great Barrington Declaration–a proposal co-authored by medical scientists and epidemiologists from Stanford, Harvard, and Oxford–“is closer to the one condemned in the JAMA article than anything Atlas said.” Yet the Great Barrington Declaration has already been signed by over 50,000 medical and public health practitioners.
When critics display such ignorance about the scope of views held by experts, it exposes their bias and disqualifies their authority on these issues. Indeed, it is almost beyond parody that these same critics wrote that “professionalism demands honesty about what [experts] know and do not know.” …

My accusers have ignored my explicit, emphatic public denials about supporting the spread of the infection unchecked to achieve herd immunity–denials quoted widely in the media. Perhaps this is because my views are not the real object of their criticism. Perhaps it is because their true motive is to “cancel” anyone who accepted the call to serve America in the Trump administration.
MASKS
Regarding universal masks, 38 states have implemented mask mandates, most of them since at least the summer, with almost all the rest having mandates in their major cities. Widespread, general population mask usage has shown little empirical utility in terms of preventing cases, even though citing or describing evidence against their utility has been censored. Denmark also performed a randomized controlled study that showed that widespread mask usage had only minimal impact.
This is the reality: those who insist that universal mask usage has absolutely proven effective at controlling the spread of the COVID virus and is universally recommended according to “the science” are deliberately ignoring the evidence to the contrary. It is they who are propagating false and misleading information.
Those who say it is unethical, even dangerous, to question broad population mask mandates must also explain why many top infectious disease scientists and public health organizations question the efficacy of general population masking. …
Throughout this pandemic, the WHO’s “Advice on the use of masks in the context of COVID-19” has included the following statement: “At present, there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID-19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.” 

My advice on masks all along has been based on scientific data and matched the advice of many of the top scientists and public health organizations throughout the world.
CONCLUSION
At this point, one could make a reasonable case that those who continue to push societal restrictions without acknowledging their failures and the serious harms they caused are themselves putting forth dangerous misinformation.
Despite that, I will not call for their official rebuke or punishment. I will not try to cancel them. I will not try to extinguish their opinions. And I will not lie to distort their words and defame them. To do so would repeat the shameful stifling of discourse that is critical to educating the public and arriving at the scientific truths we desperately need.
If this shameful behavior continues, university mottos like Harvard’s “Truth,” Stanford’s “The Winds of Freedom Blow,” and Yale’s “Light and Truth” will need major revision.
Big Tech has piled on with its own heavy hand to help eliminate discussion of conflicting evidence. Without permitting open debate and admission of errors, we might never be able to respond effectively to any future crisis. Indeed, open debate should be more than permitted–it should be encouraged.
As a health policy scholar for over 15 years and as a professor at elite universities for 30 years, I am shocked and dismayed that so many faculty members at these universities are now dangerously intolerant of opinions contrary to their favored narrative.
Some even go further, distorting and misrepresenting words to delegitimize and even punish those of us willing to serve the country in the administration of a president they loathe. …
I also fear that the idea of science as a search for truth–a search utilizing the empirical scientific method–has been seriously damaged. Even the world’s leading scientific journals–The Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, Science, and Nature–have been contaminated by politics. What is more concerning, many in the public and in the scientific community have become fatigued by the arguments–and fatigue will allow fallacy to triumph over truth.
It is not at all clear whether our democratic republic will survive–but it is clear it will not survive unless more people begin to step up in defense of freedom of thought and speech.
