"Papers Bitte"

No one remembers this? No one remembers Krystallnacht? There's no clues in history as to what is going on now? More to the point, what comes next.

The gulags. Pogroms. Starvation as a weapon to force society to comply. The lack of empathy is just beginning. It's how this happens. It starts with divisions, demonization of your enemies, riots, and then martial law. Censorship and being forced into compliance by overlords...

Then comes famine.

That's next.

It's important to remember that people grew a lot more of their own food 80 and 100 years ago, and for masses of people to starve, that ability to grow food had to be ended. People hunted and fished more then too. That was prevented too. It was so thoroughly prevented that people starved to death even though they tried everything they could to grow and get food.

No one's going to be hunting or fishing in the ashes of Oregon's forests this fall, or for years. Have some chickens? Well, bird flu means you can't have chickens. It's already being done. Home chicken flocks are being destroyed because of bird flu today, and you can bet it's coming to your backyard too. Don't think a nice garden in your backyard will keep you from starving, because it didn't keep people from starving back then.

Make sure your ability to eat is secret, because if it's able to be found, they will take it from you, because mass starvation only works if you're actually starving. The horrible oppression they want to force you to accept is so bad that they are going to starve you to death if you don't comply. They want you to comply or die, and it's happened before, many times.

Hundreds of millions of people starved to death in the 20th Century. They all wanted to eat. They all did extraordinary things to get food, and they all died from not enough food. We're nothing different from them.

Give this thought.

It's what's next after the surveillance, censorship, and mob violence. Look at history and learn it's lessons so that you don't learn them by repeating them. You don't want to learn about Bolsheviks, or Stalin, or Mao starving tens of millions of people to death by being one of the people Trump, Merkel, Ardern, or Andrews is starving to death.

To live you will have to have food to eat. When they want you to starve or comply, they will prevent you from being able to eat without their permission. Consider how you're going to do that after hoarding food becomes illegal and they search houses for stashes of food, and parade the evil hoarders before their starving neighbors. Think of the glares of those starving neighbors, and the hatred they will have for you, and the virtue signalling of the blackshirts, or red guard, or pretty pastel princesses parading you in front of them. Pol Pot made children kill their parents.

They might even eat us. Some folks are already advocating it. Insanity is no bar to eating. The floridly insane will say morals are a bar to eating when you're on the menu. People get eaten in every famine.

Not everyone is going to live. Some people won't prepare. Some people will try and fail. Lots of people today are saying 'Naw! Not in Victoria.' or 'Not in the USA.' Don't let normalcy bias kill you. It's not Russians that fall for this, or the Chinese, or Africans. People subjected to tyranny do. Tyranny starts like this, and starvation is next.

Live.

Look at history. Whenever censorship arises, starvation follows.

Prepare. Make sure your food supplies are secure from fire, flood, and searches, not just pests and spoilage. People that prepared for famine starved because their food was taken from them, their gardens were taken from them, and they were prevented from hunting and fishing. Millions of people who got just as hungry, who wanted to eat and feed their children just as much you will, died, and watched their children die, of starvation.

Guerrilla gardens. Get out of cities. Get familiar with edible weeds, pests, and anything you might be able to find where there's dirt that isn't trodden by thousands of boots daily. Figure out edible mushrooms, and learn how to set snares for rats. Remember that just one egg a day can keep you alive. All you need is one, secret, chicken per person.

Don't be fat and healthy when your neighbors are dying of malnutrition. Don't let it slip that you eat when they go hungry.

Tens of thousands of Oregonians have realized this week that they're not going to be foraging for food in the forests, like they thought they were in a food shortage. Have plan B, C, D.

Get ready for what comes after "Papers, please."

Thanks!
