If things unfolded as they proclaim, there would be no point in preparing for there would\u00a0be nothing left. Movies like the Planet of the Apes were based upon this theory. The likelihood that there will be an economic and political upheaval\u00a0is 100% on point.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"fancybox image\" href=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/PopulationOfRome.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62573 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/PopulationOfRome.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/PopulationOfRome.jpg 907w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/PopulationOfRome-300x279.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/PopulationOfRome-768x714.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/PopulationOfRome-180x167.jpg 180w, https:\/\/d33wjekvz3zs1a.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/PopulationOfRome-600x558.jpg 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><\/strong>I have recommended keeping a stash of food, but <strong>not<\/strong>for the reasons they put out there by the doom &amp; gloom people. The winters are going to keep getting colder. As they\u00a0do, this will also disrupt the food supply. I have warned that historically, it is Global Cooling that kills off people \u2013 not Global Warming.\u00a0 Additionally, as political unrest rises, there will also be a disruption in the food supply. The majority of people are incapable of growing food for themselves, so society as a whole has this great vulnerability as was the case in in the eternal city of Rome.\u00a0I simply look at history and there is no agenda in what I publish. We are entitled to just the facts.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, as taxes kept rising, and public safety became a growing concern in the urban life, more and more people began to migrate leaving Rome walking away from their property. There is simply a cycle where we all come together to form great societies, the ruling class becomes greedy, and then the cycle turns we migrate back to suburbia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Collapse of Society \u2013 Are the Doom &amp; Gloomers Even on the Right Page?
