   At the risk of being redundant and simplistic:

   Oil (and Natty Gas) IS FOOD. Fuel for tractors, truckers, refrigeration units, factories processing, FERTILIZER, Pesticides, Herbicides and plastic for protecting it.

   As America’s best known Jewish Diplomat said:

   If you control the food, you control a nation. If you control the energy, you control a region. If you control the money, you control the world.

   Henry A. Kissinger

   Oil scarcity = fertilizer scarcity and America IMPORTS FOOD, so events that harm say Vietnam makes frozen fish-shrimp and rice less available.

   In the United States, food imports play a significant role in the overall food supply. According to the USDA Economic Research Service, the data set provides import values of edible products entering U.S. ports, detailing the products’ origin of shipment
   USDA
   . Approximately 15% of the food consumed in the U.S. is imported, highlighting the importance of foreign sources in the American food system

   (100% of coffee, most teas, chocolate)

   The top imported food categories include fruits and vegetables, which have seen a steady rise since 2000

   Since California is America’s fruits and vegetables food basket BECAUSE they can often do more than one harvest a year (succession plantings) AND has been in serious MAN MADE Regulations drought that food supply has been reduced.

   As of July 2026, approximately 86% of Idaho is experiencing active drought conditions, ranging from moderate to exceptional severity.

   Idaho is a major agricultural state, producing potatoes, wheat, barley, sugar beets, hay, corn, dry beans, fruits, hops, and peppermint.

   I could on but you see that not just the idiot war limiting oil = fertilizer etc. The weather isn’t helping.

   So, a noticeable reduction in supply of food, plus the Gov.com shoving fake money at EBT and such to control unrest CAN equal Very HIGH Inflation, even hyperinflation aka Weimar Germany.

   Fixed income and working poor, even in debt “Middle Class” will be screwed as usual.

   Can anybody SEE a “Financial Emergency” requiring an immediate Patriot style E-Dollar to “control inflation” or such?

   Henry A. Kissinger would be proud.

   Got shelf stable food? Trusted friends, trusted family and a strong faith in God. History shows these more valuable than gold.
