Are You Ready For

The Coming Food Riots?

• It is a simple fact that U.S. food reserves are nearly non-existent. Product is rushed from field to store as rapidly as possible. 
• So what happens when that tenuous supply chain is interrupted of a multi-year drought, terrorism or an EMP Blast that shuts down the power grid and Internet?  Food riots.

(Motherboard)  -  The US national security industry is planning for the impact of an unprecedented global food crisis lasting as long as a decade, according to reports by a government contractor.

The studies published by CNA Corporation in December 2015, unreported until now, describe a detailed simulation of a protracted global food crisis from 2020 to 2030.

The simulation, titled ‘Food Chain Reaction’, was a desktop gaming exercise involving the participation of 65 officials from the US, Europe, Africa, India, Brazil, and key multilateral and intergovernmental institutions.

The scenario for the ‘Food Chain Reaction’ simulation was created by experts brought in from the State Department, the World Bank, and agribusiness giant Cargill, along with independent specialists. CNA Corp’s Institute for Public Research, which ran the simulation, primarily provides scientific research services for the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Held from November 9-10 in 2015, the “game” attempted to simulate a plausible global food crisis triggered by “food price and supply swings amidst burgeoning population growth, rapid urbanization, severe weather events, and social unrest.”

By 2024, the scenario saw global food prices spike by as much as 395 percent due to prolonged crop failures in key food basket regions, driven largely by climate change, oil price spikes, and confused responses from the international community.

“Disruptions affected developed and developing countries alike, creating political and economic instability, and contributing to social unrest in certain areas,” the project’s technical report states.

The report notes that at the end of the simulation, the teams highlighted the important role of “extreme weather events” and “food insecurity” in exacerbating “instances of significant internal and external migration and social unrest.” These, in turn, greatly “contribute to conflict.”

NATIONAL SECURITY

Although the scenario was not produced as a forecast, it was designed to provide a plausible framework to test the resilience of the national security system from the perspective of the US government, private industry, and civil society.

CNA Corporation is a government contractor established in 1942 to provide scientific research for the US Navy and Marine Corps. Its CEO, Dr. Katherine A. W. McGrady, is a scientific analyst to the US military’s Chief of Naval Operations and the Vice Chief of Naval Operations.

Four different organisations commissioned CNA Corp to conduct the exercise: the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Center for American Progress, giant food corporation Cargill, which controls a quarter of US grain exports, and Mars Inc., the global sweet manufacturer.

One outcome was a panel hosted on Tuesday by the Center for American Progress on ‘The National Security implications of Climate Change and Food Security’, featuring Nancy Stetson, the US State Department’s Special Representative for Global Food Security.

Baltimore Riots

Riots over race relations will be nothing compared to food riots

FROM CROP FAILURE TO SYSTEM FAILURE

The game begins in 2020 with a reasonably healthy global economy and oil prices that have now rebounded to $75 a barrel. Food prices climb steadily due to “weather-related disruptions to agricultural production,” affecting South and Southeast Asia, Australia, and North America. Global crop production falls 1 percent short of expectations leading to decreases in stock and further modest price increases.

Things get really rough after 2023 due to serious droughts and heatwaves in China, India, Russia, and Ukraine, coinciding with oil prices that rapidly increase to above $100 a barrel.

By 2024, heat and drought hit the European Union, Russia, and Ukraine, while subsiding elsewhere, triggering a food price spike “reaching 395 percent of long-term averages,” and a global economic slowdown.

By 2027, these conditions begin to calm only because an economic slump has diminished demand, while high prices stimulate food production. A respite from weather-related disruptions allows food stocks to be re-built, and prices then come down gradually.

The game closes with an optimistic scenario of food prices dropping from 395 to 141 percent of long-term averages and a recovering global economy.

GOP Gives $500 Million to UN’s Green Climate Slush Fund

GOP Senate Fucks Voters Again

• There is only one political party in the U.S. - The Republicrat Party of, by and for Big Government, open borders and oligarchy.
• Both parties are bought and paid for by special interest Billionaire Cartels. They laugh at you and your "party loyalty" while lining the pockets of their buddies with cold hard cash.

(The Hill)  -  The Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday adopted a $500 million spending package for the Green Climate Fund, an international climate change adaptation program.

Members approved the funding, via an amendment from Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and others, on a voice vote, despite strong Republican opposition to the measure.

The amendment removes language from the committee-approved State Department and Foreign Operations funding bill preventing the State Department from providing money for the fund, a program designed to support poor countries that are impacted by climate change. 

Republicans have opposed the fund for a host of reasons and fought hard to block funding for it during last year’s appropriations process. At the time, they said the funding shouldn't go forward unless the Senate got to vote on the international climate change agreement reached in December. 

A year-end spending deal didn’t fund the U.S.’s contribution to the climate program, but the State Department was able to find $500 million within its budget for it anyway. 

The Obama administration has promised $3 billion for the program by 2020.

Facebook's Zuckerberg builds wall around estate; Condemns Trump for wall building

Zuckerberg's wall

Walls for Billionaires 

but not for common people

• Leftist Zillionaire CEO Mark Zuckerberg attacked Trump for daring to try and protect America's border with a wall.  
• Meanwhile hypocrite Zuckerberg protects the borders to his property with a wall.

(TMZ)  -  Mark Zuckerberg's 6' stone wall around his $100 million Kauai property has blocked out the Pacific Ocean to neighbors ... some of whom are livid.

The Facebook founder bought the 750-acre estate in 2014 and now wants to shore it up, but a 5'8" neighbor for one is furious, because now she can't see water.

Some neighbors claim they've tried reaching out to Zuckerberg, to no avail.

TMZ contacted the zoning department in the area and we were told no one has lodged a formal complaint and there is no investigation.

We contacted someone from the Planning Dept. and turns out Zuck has every right to build a 6' wall if he wants ... and he wants.

Nigel Farage 20 years ago you laughed at me, you are not laughing now

Nigel Farage - Patriot

A true patriot, UKIP Leader Nigel Farage rips into the corrupt European Union while the "Conservative" Party and Labour Party lick the boots of Big Government.

"Racists" Everywhere
Remember if you dare to say out loud that your nation has the right to exist behind secure borders then you are a vicious racist.  Well then you can count me in with the UKIP and Donald Trump as a "racist".

In the last general election voters had a real choice. Vote for the open borders Conservative and Labour Parties or vote for UKIP.  Naturally the Sheeple voters licked the boots of their Masters and voted for open borders.  But UKIP did not give up and last week Britain voted to leave the European Union.

How I fell in love with my sex doll

God Bless Free Enterprise

Once again free enterprise creates a 

product people actually want

(New York Post)  -  A Japanese man fell in love with his sex doll but swears he’s no dummy.

Senji Nakajima, 61, of Tokyo, says he got so fed-up with complicated human relationships that he coupled off with a life-sized rubber doll to avoid heartache.

“She never betrays,” Nakajima said. “I’m tired of modern, rational humans. They are heartless.”

The married father of two bathes the doll, who is named Saori, takes her shopping and sleeps next to “her” every night.

“For me, she is more than a doll,” said Nakajima, who first shacked up with Saori six years ago. “Not just a silicon rubber. She needs much help, but still is my perfect partner who shares precious moments with me and enriches my life.”

At first, he just used her for sex while he lived away from his wife. But the relationship soon blossomed into a full-blown rubber romance.

Nakajima started spending more time with his pretty plastic partner, taking her on long walks in a wheelchair and wooing her with some admittedly one-sided pillow talk.

Now he loves her so much that he’s ready to swear off flesh-and-blood companionship for good. He dresses Saori in wigs, lacy gowns and jewelry, and even claims she has a personality.

Nakajima also enjoys watching TV with the doll and isn’t embarrassed to take her out on the town.

Makers of dolls like Saori boast that they’re so lifelike, men who buy them will never want a real girlfriend again.

The dolls, which are not inflatable, go for roughly $4,000 a pop.

There are more than 50 brands of the dolls for sale in Asia, where the market for sex dolls is booming.

Scarlett Johansson sex droid

From “Blade Runner” to “Ex Machina,” robotic lovers have been a staple fantasy of sci-fi films for years. But one man—RealDoll CEO Matt McMullen—is trying to make AI-enhanced sex robots a reality. In his factory in San Marcos, California, McMullen is experimenting with adding artificial intelligence to his high-end, ultra-lifelike silicone “love dolls,” which cost more than $5,000 apiece. With this new AI, McMullen is hoping that his dolls could one day be more than just sex toys — they could be real romantic partners for humans, capable of thinking, talking, and loving like a real partner.  (More)

Navy SEAL: Hillary ‘Killed My Friends’ In Benghazi

(Daily Caller)  -  Former Navy SEAL Tej Gill, who was friends with two of the Americans who were killed in the Benghazi attack, says that Hillary Clinton “killed my friends.”

In an interview on SiriusXM radio on Tuesday, Gill told host Stephen Bannon about his bumper stickers with the statement “Hillary Clinton killed my friends” that have “gone viral” among those in the SEAL community. 

When asked what he means by the phrase “Hillary Clinton killed my friends,” Gill replied, “Well, [Clinton] literally killed my friends, Ty Woods and Glenn Doherty. I’ve known Ty since ’97 and Glen since 2003. They were both good friends. Her actions led to their deaths.”

“By denying multiple requests for the upgraded security at the the consulate, at the outpost, it was attacked. The terrorists just literally pushed the gate open. They flooded that compound in ten seconds and took it over, and the CIA guys had to go down the street and rescue them and then they got killed because of her,” Gill argued.

“If that consulate would have been hardened like it should have been, none of that would’ve happened. If there were Marines there, if there were belt-fed machine guns and heavy weapons there, they could have repelled that attack but instead … the terrorist literally pushed the gate open.”

Democrats attack 3 of the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights

Everyone in favor of gutting the Bill of Rights raise your right hand.

The Slow March to Fascism

"The fact that a major U.S. political party -- which still considers itself mainstream -- is now willing to specifically target amendments designed to protect Americans from tyrannical government control is alarming, to say the least."  -  IBD

• I love ripping the crap out of the Marxist Democrats. But in this July 4th week let us not forget that the Big Government loving "Conservative" GOP falls all over itself to attack the 4th Amendment, 5th Amendment, 10th Amendment as well as others.

From Investor's Business Daily

Freedom: Hillary Clinton and other leaders in her party always talk about how they want to grant new rights to Americans. They talk about the "right to affordable health care," the "right to a college education," the "right to a livable wage." But at the same time, many of these same Democrats have been agitating to restrict or outright repeal existing rights enshrined in the Constitution's Bill of Rights.

In just the past few months, in fact, members of the Democratic party  have targeted the 1st, 2nd and 5th Amendments for attack. Here are the details, in reverse order:

Denying Due Process

Last week, House Democrats staged a sit in to demand a vote on a gun control bill that would have denied anyone on the government's "no fly" list the right to buy a gun.

The problem is that someone can make it on the list "no fly" based on the flimsiest of evidence, mere suspicion, or for no apparent reason at all.

As a result, denying everyone on this list the right to buy a gun would risk denying them due process, a protection guaranteed by the 5th Amendment, which says among other things that no one can "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."

Even the gun-control-supporting ACLU game out against such bills for that reason, saying that the watch list is "error-prone and unreliable" and that it would "place individuals on blacklists without a meaningful process to correct government error and clear their names."

Liberal reporter Glenn Greenwald was even more emphatic. "In the lexicon of the leading liberal lights of the Democratic Party, someone deemed by the U.S. government to be suspicious -- placed in secret on a list, with no evidence presented and no court process -- is the equivalent of 'ISIS.' And to demand due process be accorded is to arm ISIS."

It's not as though the Democrats staging the sit in didn't understand this. In fact, they were protesting because the House leadership would only bring up a bill that included due process protections. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., complained that "due process is what's killing us right now" when it comes to denying gun purchases to people suspected of having ties to terrorism.

Battles of Lexington and Concord

Torching the 2^nd Amendment

When not trying to limit 5th Amendment protections in their zeal for gun control, Democrats are increasingly calling not just for restrictions on purchases for would-be terrorists or bans on "assault rifles," but to scrap the 2nd Amendment entirely.

"The Second Amendment needs some changing, because Americans don't agree with it and we've had it," Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., declared last week.

After Gabby Giffords was shot, liberal talk show host Bill Maher said that the Democratic party should "come out against the 2nd Amendment." Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., responded, "I sure wish they would."

Retired liberal justice John Paul Stevens wrote on op-ed saying the 2nd Amendment should itself be amended, so that the right to own guns only would apply to those who are actively serving in a militia.

Targeting Free Speech

Incredibly, the Democrats' disdain for the Bill of Rights includes even the 1st Amendment's protection of free speech. Party leaders are openly pushing to limit free speech rights when it conflicts with their own viewpoints.

In a speech at an Iowa community college, for example, Hillary Clinton said: "We need to fix our dysfunctional political system and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all, even if that takes a constitutional amendment."

Left unsaid is that the only way to do what she suggests would be to put restrictions on the 1st Amendment. A couple years ago, 54 Senate Democrats voted for a new constitutional amendment that would do just that.

(Editor  -  Now the Democrat Party platform calls for prosecution of Global Warming Skeptics.)

Meanwhile, a YouGov poll taken last May found that a majority of Democrats said they support government limits on what they consider to be "hate speech." Only 26% of Democrats said they opposed such limits.

In California, Democrats pushed a state bill that would have criminalized speech that questions the "consensus" on climate change.

And Attorney General Loretta Lynch told the Senate Judiciary Committee in March that she has discussed with her colleagues the possibility of pursuing civil actions against "climate change deniers."

Democrats have long expressed frustration, if not outright contempt, for the Constitution whenever it hinders their ability to enact some new government program. President Obama has repeatedly complained about the "messy" process the Constitution's co-equal branches created, and has several times acted as though the Constitution's limits on the president's authority simply don't apply to him.

But the fact that a major U.S. political party -- which still considers itself mainstream -- is now willing to specifically target amendments designed to protect Americans from tyrannical government control is alarming, to say the least.

Hispanics in California lose jobs to lower paid Hispanics in Mexico

Open Borders NAFTA Strikes Again

Now we can't even grow our own strawberries

• Open border trade agreements passed by both parties are seeing jobs losses in every sector of the economy.
• In California we are seeing a largely Hispanic workforce being fired and the jobs shifted to a much lower paid Hispanic workforce in Mexico.

(Ventura County Star)  -  Oxnard-based Mandalay Berry Farms is closing and will lay off 565 employees.

The company informed the state Employment Development Department of the pending closure in a June 1 letter as required by the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The letter was disclosed at Tuesday's Ventura County Board of Supervisors meeting by Supervisor John Zaragoza, whose district encompasses Oxnard. The company has been in business since 1995.

"This letter is to inform you that Mandalay Berry Farms ... will be permanently closing all of its operations effective the end of this current season," company President John Dullam wrote.

The operations are conducted at nine ranches in Oxnard, he stated.

The employees who will be losing their jobs effective July 31 are 497 harvesters/pickers, 19 harvest machine operators, 15 foremen, 15 stackers, five irrigators, five truck drivers, four forklift drivers, three punchers and two office/administration workers, according to Dullam.

None of the employees are represented by unions, his letter stated.

Dullam did not return a call Tuesday seeking comment.

The disclosure about Mandalay follows last week's news that three other agricultural businesses in Oxnard, vegetable grower Hiji Brothers Inc., and two associated operations — seedling nursery Seaview Growers and shippers Richview Inc. — will be closing in early August. Together, they employ about 260 people.

John Krist, CEO of the Farm Bureau of Ventura County, said he didn't know the particulars of why Mandalay is closing.

"But what I can say is that the last three years have been extremely tough on strawberry growers in Ventura County," he said. "It's been a number of factors, but the bottom line is that prices have been pretty bad and berry growers have been losing money."

"Part of it has been caused by an expansion of production in Baja, with varieties that overlap with our traditional market window here in Ventura County," he said. "So more fruit than usual on the market. Demand hasn't increased commensurately. Prices have fallen."

Land and labor costs are considerably higher in Ventura County than they are in Baja, Krist said.

"The production cost equations are so different here than in Baja," he said. "You make money growing in Baja at price levels that cause growers here to lose money."

Still, strawberries remained the county's biggest crop in 2014, with a reported value of almost $628 million, according to the county's most recent annual crop report from the office of Agricultural Commissioner Henry Gonzales. Strawberries were followed by lemons, raspberries, nursery stock and celery.

Report Muslim Rape & the Feds Will Come After You

Speak Only Government 

Approved Thoughts

• Thought Crime  -  Obama's Big Brother US Attorney is threatening people if they dare spread what she considers "false information" on the Muslim rape of a 5 year old girl. 

(Front Page)  -  Another reminder how thoroughly committed the authorities are to pushing Muslim migration at any and all cost. Including at the cost of the Bill of Rights.

You may have heard about the sexual assault of a 5-year-old girl in Idaho by Muslim migrant children and a teenager. The facts are still not entirely clear. And the authorities are not helping matters any by making the defense of "refugees" into their priority.

United States Attorney Wendy J. Olson put out a press release warning, “the spread of false information or inflammatory or threatening statements about the perpetrators or the crime itself reduces public safety and may violate federal law. We have seen time and again that the spread of falsehoods about refugees divides our communities. I urge all citizens and residents to allow Mr. Loebs and Chief Kingsbury and their teams to do their jobs.”

Olson seems to have made Muslim refugees into her priority.

She issued a statement on ‘building resilient communities” on July 10, 2015, after meeting with law enforcement, the ACLU and other groups to discuss “anti-refugee” and “anti-Muslim” sentiments in Idaho and across the country that she deemed were “seeking to divide communities.”

Obama: Oath of Allegiance Optional for Muslims

GOP Joins Democrats for Open Borders

• The GOP has controlled Congress almost exclusively since 1995.  The next time you get angry about immigration call your open borders whore Republican Congressman or Senator. They are totally responsible.

(BREITBART) — Former Congressman Tom Tancredo joined SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon on Breitbart News Sunday to discuss Tancredo’s latest column for Breitbart News, “Obama Invites 18.7 Million Immigrants to Avoid Oath of Allegiance, Pledge to Defend America.”

Tancredo explained that, in July of 2015, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS, sometimes shortened by Tancredo to USIS) “decided there was part of the Oath of Allegiance that has been taken by millions, and millions, and millions of immigrants into this country. It’s the last thing they have to do before actually getting their citizenship” that should be made optional. It was the part of the oath in which immigrants promised, “If called upon, I will indeed take up arms to defend the United States of America.”

“They have told immigrants now – the next 18 million that are in the pipeline – they do not have to take that part of the oath. It’s still in there, but they’ve said it’s optional; you don’t have to swear,” said Tancredo.

He noted this change was made without permission from Congress, for reasons USIS has yet to disclose. “Where the hell was Congress? Where is Congress?” Tancredo asked. “Where has Congress been, over and over and over again, in these kinds of issues? They just simply did it."

Famine comes to Communist Venezuela

Communist Created Starvation 

in Venezuela

Venezuelans are lining up to validate their signatures on a recall referendum for President Maduro. Among the reasons for Maduro's unpopularity is that more and more people are starting to wonder where their next meal is coming from. 

These days, those who have enough Venezuelan currency (now trading at 1,000 bolivars to the dollar on the black market) to buy food often have a hard time finding any.

AT 9.30am on a Thursday six Venezuelans wait for a guided tour of the former military museum that is now the mausoleum of Hugo Chávez, the country’s populist president of 1999-2013. Across the road around 120 people are queuing for food at government-controlled prices from a state-run supermarket. The food queue starts at 3am. “Sometimes there’s food and sometimes there isn’t,” one would-be shopper says.

This is from this weekend:

CHRISTMAS VACATION Is A ‘Microagression’ Now

A Nation of Balless Pussies

• Instead of telling the Fascist Thought Police to go fuck themselves, our universities roll over like dogs and obey the commands of the first lunatic that comes along.

(Daily Caller)  -  The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill issued a guide this week which instructs students that Christmas vacations and telling a woman “I love your shoes!” are “microaggressions.”

The taxpayer-funded guide — entitled “Career corner: Understanding microaggressions” — also identifies golf outings and the words “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” as microaggressions.

The UNC Chapel Hill guide, published on Thursday, covers a wide range of menacing microaggressions — which are everyday words that radical leftists have decided to be angry or frustrated about.

Christmas vacations are a microaggression, the public university pontificates, because “academic calendars and encouraged vacations” which “are organized around major religious observances” centralize “the Christian faith” and diminish “non-Christian spiritual rituals and observances.”

Democrats put gun owners in database

Marxist Democrats 

Continue Gun Attacks

Open Borders Democrats eagerly import Muslims from terrorist states while trying to disarm American citizens.

(Fox 59 TV)  -  While the issue of gun control has made little headway in Congress, Hawaii this week enacted a series of gun laws, one of which the governor says makes it the first state to put firearm owners into a database.

That database, which is called the “Rap Back” system, is operated by the FBI and would notify police when a gun owner is arrested for a crime anywhere in the United States.

“This will allow county police departments in Hawaii to evaluate whether the firearm owner may continue to legally possess and own firearms,” the Hawaii governor’s office said in a statement.

“This is about our community’s safety and responsible gun ownership,” Gov. David Ige in a statement. “This system will better enable our law enforcement agencies to ensure the security of all Hawaii residents and visitors to our islands.”

Ige and the majority of the Hawaii state legislators are Democrats.

The NRA expressed its displeasure with the new state law tweeting: “Exercising constitutional rights in #Hawaii now gets you entered into a federal watchlist, er, database.”

During the public comment process regarding the bill, opponent Quentin Kealoha asked: “Why are law abiding citizens exercising their constitutional right being entered into a criminal database? Would you enter people exercising their right to free speech into a criminal database?”
