• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It has been reported that there is or is going to be a shortage of grains, rice, wheat, corn. Part of this is from the production of Ethenol and the fact that corn is used in some way in almost everything. Rice and wheat because of worldwide demand and the farmers converting to corn in this country for fuel production. Many are storing flour, rice, and so on, do you think this will correct itself or get worse?

Texe Marrs, an excitable guy, predicted this years ago.
I feel, in my opinion, think its orchestrated by 'the government'.
Looks like the LDS won't have to worry.;)
lol, yes, this is worldwide and there are already people becoming disgruntled in the poorer countries, I can foresee afew things that could come of this. I would advise if you stockpile that you find a good hiding spot buried somewhere whatever is good as there is a hoarding provision if martial law would ever kick in and they would take your surtplus.

There is an issue with this and I think it's exactly what is happening in oil.

The Corn Belt is by far the most productive in the world and there is plenty of crops to go around for the US. But as commodity brokers tend to do is panic. When they panic they force the prices up. Of course that causes a huge problem in production prices.

I also think that the countries that are having the hardest time of it are also dealing with corrupt gov'ts.

Commodities traders are to be blamed for the oil as well since it is theior speculation that has added about a 1/3 of the price of a barrel of oil and yes in some ways the corn for ethenol is tied in with this. Personally, I dont know how these traders live with themselves doing this to people, judgement will be severe I think on this. It is causing so much hardship and death.

Old story from my old survivalist days in the late 70/s...don't just stockpile food.

One guy stockpiles only food and another guy stockpiles only guns & ammo...when the balloon goes up, guess who eats?;)

Let's just say that it's time to rotate and add to that dusty Y2K supply downstairs ;)

Unfortunately, that is what we are all afraid of James!

Another thing about our food is what they are doing to the seeds - don't understand why they are doing it - but they are generically altering the seeds - lots of countries will not accept these altered seeds and bees won't pollinate them- thus the bee farmers are losing many of their bees.

The food supply is being altered - the farmers that don't want to go along with it and have their own seeds are being polluted by other farms by the wind plowing the altered pollen to their crops. It is a long story and as I said I don't understand it - maybe some of you are more familiar with it.

They are saying it is causing a lot of cancers also. I'll have to do more studying on this one - I just heard it being discussed in the news, but didn't go any farther to see what it is.

God promised to provide for us - I do not believe He meant to do that by us arming ourselves. The only thing I will arm myself with is God's word.
