Famine

Economic collapse can lead to a breakdown of society and mass food shortages. Severe drought or weather, natural disaster, or a man-made catastrophe like an EMP can also bring on food shortages, and famine, followed by starvation. Millions go hungry. Countless people die. How to survive a widespread famine.

Most Americans have only experienced the consequences of massive famine on their television screens. In 1981, in the movie The Road Warrior (played by Mel Gibson), this survivor in the apocalyptic wasteland of Australia experienced the results of widespread famine first hand. His way to survive: Dog food. Canned dog food.

I can’t remember the brand name. Alpo maybe. But does it even matter? The point is this: In a time of mass famine following nuclear war or some catastrophic disaster that takes place, people who survive may find themselves eating things they would never imagine themselves ever capable of eating. Or you simply starve to death.

Famine - A social and economic crisis that is often accompanied by widespread malnutrition and starvation which leads to epidemic and significantly increased mortality.

Here are a few good tips for preparing for a famine of Biblical proportions, a famine that experts believe could be a direct consequence of a widespread disaster, economic collapse, or even a nuclear terrorist attack, which is a growing risk today to the U.S.

Famine from EMP

The much talked about and feared EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) could also lead to famine, at least in the nation affected by the EMP. It’s not that an EMP will cause food to stop growing: Instead, a famine will take place when transportation comes to a halt and food out in counties and states where farming is plenty suddenly have no way to transport seasonal harvest to several million people out in distant cities.

Mass starvation on a widespread scale is a very real threat and can threaten your very survival. That includes your family and friends.
It also include your neighbors, yes that couple that seems so well put together. When pets start disappearing from around your neighborhood, it might be your neighbors behind the disappearances. After about 1 day without food your neighbors may resort to asking other neighbors for food, and then begging if no one is willing to hand over much.

Hungry People Group Up

What happens if you have a few neighbors that are unprepared? Those without may band together, and go after those who have. Guess what? If your neighbors don’t see you out looking for food, begging for food, and instead simply locking yourself inside your home, in their minds they’re going to suspect you’re sitting on a bunch of food.

If enough hungry people band together, they may decide to take it from you by force.

Finally, after about three days of your neighbors going hungry it’s possible that someone will mention “pets”; when day five rolls around, and still no food, there’s a good chance that it’s going to be open season on pets, I’m talking cats and dogs.

Have Stocks of Food, Water to Combat Famine

Do you understand now why it’s important to have at least a few weeks of extra food and water on hand? A famine resulting from any number of disasters has the potential to wreck havoc fast on Western nations. Having not experienced true hunger before, it is likely to affect Westerners more than it does say people in third world countries.

It may not happen right away, in the first few days of food shortages. But after several weeks food may start becoming sparse around the neighborhood; local church pantries may start running dry (outside of a miraculous provision from God, which is always a possibility, looking at the Bible). And then the day is going to come when there is simply no more food around the neighborhood.

Knowing how a few of your neighbors may act, you might want to buy yourself a ton of cheap bulk food like rice and beans, in addition to your typical emergency food stocks. That way you can at least have something to give to your neighbors, and hopefully keep them from turning on you, should they suspect that indeed you actually have quite a bit of food. Personally, I’m a Bible-believer, and live by faith knowing God will provide for me as I provide for others. That’s a hard pill for some to swallow, especially in a time of disaster. But it has proven to be the case for me in modern times. I’ve been down to almost nothing several times and then miraculously God has provided.

Famine, in History

The End of the Old Kingdom- In the mid 22nd century B.C., Egypt was a hot bed of activity with a large population of people, which translated into a lot of mouths to feed; farming in the region provided food and the Nile River was a chief provider of water. Out of nowhere a brief change took place in the local climate that impacted Egypt’s food supply during the time of Unas (2381-2345). No one really understands what caused the weather problems; however, the results of this climate change seem clear.

Lake Moeris dried out, the Nile lowered, and bad harvests followed. Unfortunately for ancient Egypt, that spurred on a great famine throughout their lands. All of these factors also led to civil unrest and that meant crime and revolts.

The Old Kingdom never fully recovered.

Famine, Modern Day

The Causes of Famine and Mass Starvation

Famine can be caused by any number of factors. One of the most common reasons behind famine is climate change (as previously noted). When that happens drought, crop issues, and pestilence are often culprits.

Famine can also be brought on by war and political problems.

Politically, at different times in history, choices have been made by governments that have resulted in famines. Many times those in power have literally deprived the middle income and poor. In fact, many believe that the North Korean famine of the 1990s was a direct result of government actions forced on the people.

There are many who believe that almost all famine is — in essence — truly compelled more by politics than nature (in other words, problems that cause issues in the food supply can be handled by a pro-active government; one that is adequately prepared for a disaster and any food shortages that may arise).

Regardless, with the natural changes occurring all around us — some say climate change or global warming, others say the hand of God and the Bible “end times” of the modern world — the possibility of widespread famine due to climat change or widespread disaster is becoming more and more plausible, even in the United States of America.

  • With many such scenarios, the problem may not be so much a lack of resources as much as dealing with Other People. Civil society today is already edgy and aggressively self-centered. Best to have a trusted circle. Developing discernment of characters will be just as helpful as skill as scavenging.

  • seems like the threat to most is lack of government

  • This is related to your survival, so pay attention:

    Catholic mystics say the following: That soon God is going to let our enemies punish us severely for the sins of abortion, homosexuality, contraception, pornography, immodesty in dress, drugs, divorce, greed, excessive pleasures, etc, but mostly for the sin of “apostasy” now happening in both the Church and the “former” Christian West. God is going to step back, do nothing, so to speak and let our enemies have their way, for awhile, until His Justice has been appeased (i.e. until we have payed a great price for our sins). Both the hierarchy of the Church (Catholic) and its peoples have abandoned near 2000 years of true Christian doctrine and faith for modernism and for presenting man as the new God instead of Christ and God Himself.

    The Mystics say that soon comes a total world economic collapse, followed by months of the most violent civil war and revolution in American and Europe the world has ever seen, then when all is in turmoil and chaos, Russia and China attack both Europe and America. WW3 will last for approx 3-4 years, three quarters of the world will die and the war is forced to an end by the “Three Days of Darkness”. Following this economic collapse, civil war and revolution and WW3 comes an era of peace and prosperity that the world has ever seen for a few generations and then man begins to fall again and then comes the anti-Christ.

    According to these mystics all this is soon to happen possibly the major events to happen by next late spring early summer. When this present Pope dies, again possibly this spring (that right) the new Pope will shock both the world and the Church. Pope Pius XIII (From the visions of St. Pope Pius X who say in his visions a communist revolution in Italy and a future Pope “of like name” fleeing over the bodies of his priests (i.e. priests and bishops) into exile where he is hunted down and killed. When this new Pope is elected he returns the Church immediately to its former disciplines, mass, rituals, condemnations, doctrines etc, he condemns Vatican Council II and the Popes since then for their part in the wholesale destruction and harm they have done both to the Church and souls. This in turn tells Satan his time is up and he yells “so be it – WAR”. Immedately revolutions, civil wars break out in all of Europe and within a few months (late July) Russia attacks.

    - Sister Lucia of Fatima said in 1990: “Russia will attack America”
    - Blessed Sister Elena Aiello, (1895-1961) said in 1959: “Russia will attack and overrun all of Europe and attack America with her ‘secret’ armies. Every major city in the world will be destroyed by massive earthquakes, apocalyptic storms and events, including may cities, provinces, land areas, and “countries” will be swallowed up in these massive earthquakes.
    – In 1984, Pope JPII asked a German mystic what he had seen in his visions to which he replied: I saw the sky black with planes and missiles coming out of Russia in numbers the world had never dreamed they were amassing, towards the West (Europe) and two submarines surfacing on the East and West Coast of America and firing their missiles at the coastal cities.

    Google and read:

    - JR Nyquist: For Patriots Who Think.
    - WW3 Prophecies and Visions from Central Europe. – Catholic mystics warning of the coming Russian attack on Europe.
    - The Prophecies of Blessed Sister Elena Aiello
    - The Prophecies of Alois Irimaier. Austrian mystic of the highest integrity and trustworthiness.
    - The Three Day’s Darkness: – Which will end WW3 and kill all those still remaining that are against Christ and His Church both “within” and without.

    Many Catholic mystics warn this is all to happen very soon, notwithstanding some false flags, martial law or other events in the meantime, but all very very soon; that Russia and China have been preparing for this attack, producing and preparing massive amounts of military equipment , fighters, tanks, equipment, missiles, etc, unbeknown Western nations. Obama’s mission was to prepare America for a Marxist Dictatorship and to assist the Russians and Chinese when they attack by reducing and depleting our resources, military readiness, finances, etc, which he is in full force accomplishing now.

    In America the mystics warn:

    - total world economic collapse
    - civil war and revolution and when all is in chaos and anarchy both Russia and China attack.
    - no electricity for over a year, no water, food, gas, transportation, stores, nothing but fighting, killing, gangs, mobs, mad and desperate peoples, and then foreign invaders. As many people die from the starvation and resulting diseases as from the fighting.

    America gets attacked from five or six sides:

    - Florida: Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil and other S. A. Marxist countries side with Russia.
    - Alaska: Russians attempt to reach US/Can border but are stopped by US/Can forces.
    - Minnesota: Largest pop. of Muslims and Russians live in Minn, Mich and the Dakota’s, this with the knowledge and admission of the CIA and FBI that there are in America many hidden large caches of weapons and supplies set up by the Russians and Chinese for some years now.
    - California: One Million Man amphibious attack on the West Coast by the Chinese “with help from within our own government”.
    - Mexico: Mexico side with the Russians an apparently Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba etc have already secretly made agreements and are preparing for this attack with the Russians.
    - Pennsylvania: Some sort of Russian force to land or start from the coast and attempt to drive through past Pittsburgh towards the interior.

    So: We here are also concerned with famine and disease along with defense and survival.
    These mystics warn get out of the cities, find a cottage, farm, relative, cabin, somewhere to go to when all breaks out. Now you have the time, prepare as best you can according to your means. In the end all, I repeat, all, of our enemies, all of the enemies of God and His Church and our country will be annihilated, but not at first; at first they seem to win near everywhere for a time, then God intervenes and turns the tables, so to speak and they are entirely annihilated, all those who support in any way, directly or indirectly the above sins willl have to answer to God and not one will be able to hide anywhere.

    So: Start now, even though it is very late in the game, now when you have some money, now when your money can buy something, now get your weapons for defense and protection, lots of ammo, food, and whatever you may understand you might neee. all according to your means, God will take care of the rest providing He sees that you did your best to prepare and you are on His side, so again to speak.

    Imagine, if these mystics are correct and authentic, and I think they are, over 250 million Americans are going to die very shortly. After all is over, after the Three Days of Darkness which will purify the whole world, all the streams, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc, will again be pure and pristine, all the pollution, bottles, bags, garbage, old tires, glass, etc, chemical pollution, all and every type of pollution will disappear from the lighting in the Three Days Darkness – we are talking of millions of bolts per second all over the world.

    Finally, we win in the end, the bad guys lose, are annihilated and it is mentioned that due to the massive proliferation of firearms, equipment and patriots, who assist in this battle, we win.’
    But remember that being a Patriot is not enough, you must be on God’s side or your end will be soon. Faithful Protestants and Catholics fight together and eventually, but not at first, begin to win miraculous battles.
