We have absolutely no idea whether the people in Crimea prefer to be on the Russian or the Ukrainian side. Those votes were as fake as the ones that were used in the Soviet Union and now being used for Obama support. Probably came off the same press. With the Russian army occupying the Crimea, one has to be suicidal to voice anything outside of the permitted responses.

we call them heirloom seeds though. I believe when they are passed down through the generations they should be called heritage though.

The latest is that they froze Putin's Netflix account! Oh what will he do?!

Yes I do have my heritage seeds. Seeds that have been passed down for generations.
Please understand that in no way would I ever put you on the spot. That is not my nature. I try my best to pass along what I know to anyone that will listen Robbie. The people of our country are in for some hard lessons that are soon to come. I have others out there that are setting up pick up locations and travel logs to make it here should it get real bad. While I do not have a large farm, I am well equipped and preparing more every season. This was once a community that could feed thousands and now hundreds would be pushing it close. Those of us teaching others to grow their own, raise their own, canning skills, herding and even fishing know fully well what is happening. The major supermarket owner in our area is making connections with those of us locally that grow in order to supply his stores when the day comes. The laws for reselling of home canned goods will be pretty much thrown out the window even though they will try to do as much damage as possible as they now do. Cheese making is on my list of things to learn this year. There is not much I cannot do to survive without outside help.
thought I would lighten the conversation a bit.
For the love of America, I will fight.

I must correct my statement. A friend just popped by and told me she is now on assistance. So I do know someone directly connected. she lost her job because she had to have emergency surgery. Here comes the reason behind the 7 p's.

Also, just because it is a thing that is told does not make it a true thing.
I am connected with the industry in a few ways. This is a serious issue. WE import more than we produce in many areas that create a balanced diet. Man cannot live on bread alone.

Mono crops do not lead to a food industry. Look into what we grow.

We do not produce as we once did. There went jobs. We do not grow as we once did. There comes rise in food cost.
All of this in the name of what? For whom?

I do not know anyone directly connected to accurately respond but I do know from economics in general that we are headed for serious trouble. Too many have the mind set of a thing being owed them by our government.
Ever heard of the 7 P's. proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance. Someone slept through economics class.

WE have allowed our government to do this. The fact that parasites are and always will be parasites cannot be changed. They are what they are. It is the working, responsible people, however, that have allowed the parasites to thrive. We are constantly being cowed by this human vermin and subjugated to their will. We have accepted that we owe something to them simply because they exist. They demand, we give. Why? Everywhere you go, from schools to supermarkets to churches - same push - give, donate, support, feed - to someone who is supposedly in need! Everyone is in need and the need business is very profitable for parasites at all levels. Yet, instead of rebuking them at every level and calling them what they are, we pull out our wallets and pay them off. If we were to stop this insanity at the lowest level, call the vermin what they are in their faces, we can stop this cycle. It takes a bit of guts, but the alternative is this gutless, vermin-ridden society that we have.

U.S. House of Representatives Bill “H.R. 2847”
What will happen this July?

We are balancing a bubble on the head of a pin. Eventually it will burst.

I have heard some theories that the "glitch" last year to the EBT cards was planned. It was done to see what would happen if the cards didn't work properly. Not sure if it was intentional but mayhem ensued. When the freebies stop, it won't be pretty.

Allow me to add more. I believe we are looming towards total disaster. Prices for basic food items are rising at an alarming rate. No one earning minimum wage can afford to buy a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread today. They have not been able to do so for some time now. It gets worse. I believe that this government has so indebted us that we are facing the collapse of the US dollar, which will lead to collapse of our economy. Banks will fail to open, grocery store shelves will be empty. I do not believe we have the time to make the changes necessary to hold on to our way of life. I believe the way of life we have had for the last 50 years will soon be gone.
I know I can kick, scream and talk until I am blue in the face only to be starred at with bewilderment, as if I am quoting from some horror story. Too many do not believe that the government will ever fail, that they can continue to take without recourse. Our government has allowed this to go on for so long they do not know how to stop it.

This is very sad indeed. It is as if Americans have become so lethargic they will agree to anything so long as no one bothers them. The hard earned privileges have no meaning today. Sad really sad.
We have our work cut out for us if this is ever going to change.
When so many have become addicted to the freebees, once those things have been reduced or totally stopped, will result in out cry such as never been heard.

Yes!

Here is more proof that has had me baffled for some time - do others out there actually believe it when they are told Obooma got 110%-140% any where for what ever reason? Do they really believe that we Americans are that ignorant.

My point was that the 95% or 97% (depending on the source) was pre-counted and preordained. About as believable as when Obama got 110% vote in Philadelphia and 140% in Ohio... At least the Russians know their arithmetic better than some of the morons in the US government schools and know to stop "counting" once they approach 100%.
