Tightening our Belts


There is nothing funny about the next essays I will be publishing on the =
economic crisis but today's focus will take your breath away, so prepare =
yourself. I asked my assistant Claudia French RN her feelings about my =
financial and current events writings and she said, "They are very =
interesting and informative and I always learn something new from these =
essays. But it's probably too late to do someone like me any good, so I =
get disturbed by it all. It's easy to run from this kind of information =
and try to bury your head in the sand and just hope for the best. It =
makes me feel helpless and hopeless. It's the only thing I really don't =
like about your essays on this. The helpless and hopeless endings, they =
always make me cry. But tears and fears don't go very far to changing =
anything or turning things around. I'm afraid no amount of writing, =
reporting, editorializing, you tube clips or ranting will have any =
effect of waking people up."


To Claudia and my readers I would like to say that it is not my intent =
to instill helplessness or hopelessness for these feelings do hurt. I =
recognize the considerable strength it takes to wrap ones mind around =
these cataclysmic issues, and sometimes I feel drained by concentrating =
so intensely on such things; my wife certainly hears too much from me on =
it. But my commitment in life is to truth and to speak it and live it no =
matter what the cost.


In my writings I am hoping to bring awareness and understanding to my =
readers and it is my wish that this brings a heightened sense of both =
awareness and preparedness. It is sad that for most options are very =
limited and windows of opportunity will close more and more quickly now. =
But it is my bet that most of us can do something even if it's as simple =
as stocking up on food, basic medicines of natural-allopathic origin =
like magnesium chloride and iodine and securing a pure water supply with =
good water filtration systems to help us with our health and survival. =
Certainly it is time to start thinking of banding together with others =
in small groups for the sake of health, sanity and survival.


When looking at current affairs it is very important to get perspective =
through looking at how trends are running parallel and how issues are =
merging. According to Donald Coxe, global portfolio strategist at BMO =
Financial Group, "A new crisis is emerging, a global food catastrophe =
that will reach further and be more crippling than anything the world =
has ever seen. The credit crunch and the reverberations of soaring oil =
prices around the world will pale in comparison to what is about to =
transpire. The greatest challenge to the world is not US$100 oil; it's =
getting enough food so that the new middle class can eat the way our =
middle class does, and that means we've got to expand food output =
dramatically. "[i] Julian Cribb, from Sydney's University of Technology =
agrees saying that the oil and credit crises rattling world economies =
were nothing compared to the threat from emerging global food shortages.


"In an "unforeseen and unprecedented" shift, the world food supply is =
dwindling rapidly and food prices are soaring to historic levels, the =
top food and agriculture official of the United Nations warned last =
month," wrote Elisabeth Rosenthal for the International Herald Tribune. =
Pakistan is stockpiling wheat and using its military to guard flour =
mills. Indonesian consumers have taken to the streets to protest rising =
soy prices. Malaysia no longer lets people take sugar, flour or cooking =
oil out of the country.=20


The growing appetite of China and other fast-developing nations has =
combined with the expansion of bio-fuel programs in the United States =
and Europe to transform the global food situation. The risks of food =
riots and malnutrition will surge in the next year as the global supply =
of grain comes under more pressure than at any time in 50 years. So far, =
crises have been averted because states have eaten into national stocks, =
but this seems to be changing.=20


China has huge foreign exchange reserves and could buy the global food =
crop many times over. You can bet your bottom dollar that the =
competition for the world's food supplies will become (or in recent days =
has already become) a shark feeding frenzy. We live in a capitalist =
civilization and that means that money can buy food until governments =
stop the flow of exports no matter what price is offered, which is =
already happening. But such moves limit international supplies further =
thus reinforcing the upward spiral in prices.


If you have not already noticed during the ever-increasing heat it is =
becoming harder and harder to stay fully hydrated.


The harmful effects of global warming on daily life are already showing =
up, and hundreds of millions of people eventually will not have enough =
water or food. Lester R. Brown of the Earth Policy Institute, who has =
been following this issue for decades said, "Farmers are facing a record =
growth in the demand for grain at a time when the backlog of technology =
to raise grain yields is shrinking, when underground water reserves are =
being depleted, and when rising temperatures threaten to shrink future =
harvests. Water tables are now falling and wells are going dry in =
countries that contain half the world's people, including the big three =
grain producers-China, India, and the United States. In China, water =
shortages have helped lower the wheat harvest from its peak of 123 =
million tons in 1997 to below 100 million tons in recent years."


And that means you and I have good reason to FINALLY think of a food =
storage program for food prices are heading up to the stratosphere. This =
rising food crisis, which caused the price of food to increase nearly =
40% this past year, is just starting to create international tensions =
and is one of the reasons governments are not going to be able to =
control events like they would like. An Indian government ban of rice =
exports has plunged neighboring Bangladesh into crisis, in a grim =
preview of growing global grain shortages.=20


The chief of the Bangladesh army, Gen Moeen U Ahmed, said that he was =
"very concerned" about the problem of rice supplies.


Leading rice-exporting nations such as India and Vietnam are reducing =
sales overseas to check domestic price rises and previously healthy =
buffer stocks in the world's largest rice exporter, Thailand, are =
shrinking. The February 7 ban by India's Ministry of Commerce and =
Industry intensifies a worldwide rice shortage that according to the =
Rome-based United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization drove up =
prices so dramatically this last year.[ii]=20


Wheat prices having been going up recently at their maximum daily =
allowance of 30 cents on a bushel.


Commodity markets are brushing aside fears of a US recession and are =
showing strong gains across the board with platinum and spring wheat =
recording dramatic gains this week. In Minneapolis, daily trading limits =
were expanded to cope with the strength of hard red spring wheat, with =
the March contract up 28 per cent to a record $19.88 a bushel this week. =
Argentina has extended limitations on wheat exports to March 17 to =
guarantee domestic supplies. The American Baking Association has =
suggested US wheat exports be curtailed to ensure enough supplies for =
domestic use.[iii] This is super inflation that is not inflation because =
the prices are not going through the roof just because of monetary =
expansion. "We" are facing real shortages!=20


Extreme weather events, a growing population, increasing affluence =
adding more meat to diets and diversion of grain crops for subsidized =
biofuels have led to depleted food reserves and soaring prices. World =
wheat stores declined 11 percent this year, to the lowest level since =
1980. That corresponds to 12 weeks of the world's total consumption - =
much less than the average of 18 weeks consumption in storage during the =
period 2000-2005. There are only 8 weeks of corn left, down from 11 =
weeks in this earlier period. Prices of wheat and oilseeds are at record =
highs. Wheat prices have risen by $130 per ton, or 52 percent, since a =
year ago as of only 30 days ago.[iv] U.S. wheat futures broke $10 a =
bushel for the first time in January of this year but now have already =
soared to a record of almost 20 dollars a bushel this week, the =
agricultural equivalent of $200 a barrel oil. Only last month it was =
$100 dollar a barrel priced wheat.=20


"We're seeing more people hungry and at greater numbers than before," =
Josette Sheeran, executive director of the Rome-based World Food =
Program, said this week. "We're seeing many people being priced out of =
the food markets for the first time," said Sheeran. Some 100 million =
tones of cereals are being diverted to the production of biofuels each =
year. Nearly all of that is corn - 12 per cent of all the corn consumed =
around the globe.[v] We are increasingly taking food out of babies' =
mouths transferring the calories to the energy sector and we are all =
going to pay through the nose for this.=20


Of course it is the billions on fixed and low incomes who are already =
feeling the pinch of these rising food prices and even more affluent =
folks are complaining and using their credit cards to buy food. This all =
makes me remember the time almost 25 years ago when I worked for =
Christopher Hills and his spirulina company. We used to sell 22 pound =
buckets of spirulina for survival and food storage programs.=20


My experience of folks today so far is that few people are going out of =
their way to change the basics of their lives, and as the Boston Globe =
reported recently, "nobody is stockpiling canned goods just yet." Thanks =
to media censorship and government control we can understand why. How =
many of us are acutely aware of what is going on? How many of us had =
their fingers on the above information even though every week we feel it =
increasingly hitting us in the pocket book at the supermarket?


U.S. citizens are the most indoctrinated people on earth. They are also =
the most entertained and the least informed.


- Charles  Sullivan, Hard Lessons


I would like to share something a martial arts teacher once said to me. =
"People learn from two things - impact and repetition." Today I think it =
appropriate to take out a two by four and go for impact and try to break =
down some of the inertia we have toward insight and change.=20


Let me please ask you the reader what if anything you felt and thought =
reading about this gathering food crisis? Did you feel upset, insecure =
at the prospect of living in a world of ever increasing shortages and =
higher prices on foods? Did you connect to the reality that million of =
people are going to starve? When it comes to food both empathy and fear =
are appropriate. Empathy drives us to reach out and help others and fear =
can motivate us to take care of our families and ourselves.=20


No one is going to like reading what I am going to share next but what I =
am going to communicate takes us back to one of the nobler souls =
(Russian) that has walked the earth and one of the deepest questions we =
can ever be asked. The point to the below is to increase ones awareness =
and caring by seeing and feeling how deep the rabbit hole goes, how far =
we have come from the basic attributes of the heart, which is after all =
the center of the vulnerability of our beings.=20


Imagine that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object =
of making men happy in the end, giving them peace and rest at last, but =
that it was essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny =
creature, and to found that edifice on its un-avenged tears, would you =
consent to be the architect on those conditions? Tell me, and tell the =
truth.


- Fyodor Dostoyevsky


Read Dostoyevsky' s words again before reading what Arthur Silber =
writes, "There is one final point to be made about all this - and that =
has to do with the supreme value of a single human life. In our =
desensitized, dehumanized age, most people have almost no appreciation =
for what I'm talking about, and our political establishment and media =
only make this grievous failing worse. Each of us is unique; not one of =
us can be replaced. Each of us has a family, loved ones, friends and a =
life that is a web of caring, interdependence, and joy. When even one of =
us is killed or horribly injured for no justifiable reason, the damage =
affects countless people in addition to the primary victim. Sometimes, =
the survivors are irreparably damaged as well. Even the survivors' =
wounds can last a lifetime."


So how do we Americans stack up in this regard? Pervasive torture, the =
humiliation, dehumanization and sexual degradation of prisoners, the =
gratuitous beatings, the rapes, the outright murders, dozens of them, =
which took place at U.S. prisons in Iraq didn't faze the Pentagon or the =
White House or the American public very much, did it?[vi]=20


The media in the United States refuses to allow Americans to be made =
aware of these critical crisis issues facing all of humanity.=20


Rape is one of the worst torments a person can experience but it is one =
of the least reported crimes within the UK and the USA. In the States =
alone every hour 78 woman are raped. That's 1,872 per day, 13,000 a =
week, 52,000 a month, 629,000 a year. Let's face it; we are not that =
sensitive to the sufferings of others, and when it comes to child sexual =
abuse or rape we hardly are aware that a large percentage of women =
around us have suffered quietly through it - and are still suffering =
through it for it is a kind of suffering that happens on a deep level =
and most often lasts for a life time. Many men also suffer the same =
abuses, the same hurts but our media finds not the time or space to =
report any of this.=20


Everywhere around us the pattern has been set to reduce our awareness =
and feelings to the sufferings of others. People can be sexually =
attacked, tortured, drugged by the pharmaceutical industry, poisoned by =
the chemical industry, injected with mercury, given lethal combination =
drugs for legal execution and on and on. Today's news in this regard was =
that the lives of 22,000 patients could have been saved if U.S. =
regulators had been quicker to remove a Bayer AG drug used to stem =
bleeding during open heart surgery, according to a medical researcher =
interviewed by CBS Television's 60 Minutes program.[vii]=20


What Sibler has written and published on this is enough to chill =
anyone's soul. "If you have ever wondered how a serial murderer - a =
murderer who is sane and fully aware of the acts he has committed - can =
remain steadfastly convinced of his own moral superiority and show not =
even the slightest glimmer of remorse, you should not wonder any longer. =
The United States government is such a murderer. It conducts its murders =
in full view of the entire world. It even boasts of them. Our =
government, and all our leading commentators, still maintain that the =
end justifies the means - and that even the slaughter of hundreds of =
thousands of innocents is of no moral consequence, provided a sufficient =
number of people can delude themselves into believing the final result =
is a success." Silber is thinking of what some people estimate are a =
million deaths in Iraq since the American led invasion but when writing =
the above he was thinking about only one particular five-year-old Iraqi =
girl who was killed by a bomb.=20


Sibler continues saying, "We are a nation that has voluntarily renounced =
all its most crucial values, and all its founding principles. We can =
appeal all we want to "American exceptionalism, " but any =
"exceptionalism" that remains ours is that of a mass murderer without a =
soul, and without a conscience. It is useless to appeal to any =
"American" sense of morality: we have none. It does not matter how =
immense the pile of corpses grows: we will not surrender or even =
question our delusion that we are right, and that nothing we do can be =
profoundly, unforgivably wrong."=20


It seems we have the answer to Fyodor Dostoyevsky question.


>From the point of the pure heart, that is not separate from itself and =
what it feels, we can see almost all of human life as manifesting =
different degrees of uncaring, rejection, and denial of feelings. At one =
end of the spectrum we have the pure heart that cares totally and at the =
other, the sociopath and psychopaths who have clearly lost all capacity =
to feel, all capacity for empathy. And the rest of us are somewhere =
in-between. My writings are for beings that care and are able to deal =
with the painful realities of life without slipping onto the dark side =
of denial.


The dark night that seems to be headed our way might indeed be necessary =
for it does seem that most of our lessons need to come the hard way. =
Such is the nature of the collective ego of humankind. The individual =
cannot completely escape collective events and the collective is the sum =
total of all individual components. Though we can build illusions about =
the supremacy of our individualities, and the individualities of others, =
there is a level of reality that cannot be divided. This is the true and =
ancient meaning of individuality, "that which cannot be divided."=20


Epilogue

When you think of the shadow government of assassins, arms dealers, drug =
smugglers, former CIA operatives and top US military personnel who have =
been running foreign policy unaccountable to the public these past few =
decades, and the secret plans to use FEMA to institute martial law and =
ultimately suspend the Constitution we should shiver. There is going to =
be no shortage of reasons in the near future to declare martial law. =
It's a nightmare just waiting to happen.


Stopped for speeding in Vermont and as I usually do I objected in jest =
to the charge. No big deal, just friendly talk. Or so I thought, until =
the officer put his hand on his gun and asked if I was calling him a =
liar.


It is just at times like these that bring out the worst in people and =
it's the worst people who come to power. We see that even with the =
police. "My husband and I were once pulled over while in NYC's Midtown =
Tunnel. We obviously drove until we were out of the tunnel and then =
stopped. While in the tunnel, the officer sped up to our car and drove =
right next to us, lights ablaze, his window open, holding up a PA and =
shouting like a madman for us to pull over! I looked at him in disbelief =
from my car window and signaled with my hand to lower his voice and calm =
down. "OK, OK, don't have a heart attack!" I could not figure out what =
the problem was. When he stormed up to our car, once we stopped, he was =
screaming uncontrollably, his face bright red, and he was frothing at =
the mouth (I swear!). He was carrying on like a rageaholic! What could =
we have possibly done that was so terrible, I asked? Why, we switched =
lanes when funneling into the tunnel. Oh, the horror. We are such a =
menace! We deserve to be locked up, of course!"=20


Yes she deserved to be treated this way and everyone who lights up a =
joint should be put in jail. This is the insanity of our times. As the =
worst things are happening to people all around the globe society is =
ready to stomp not only on minor misdeeds and traffic violations but on =
deeds (like smoking pot) that are not misdeeds at all but a possible =
treatment for cancer and many other serious medical problems.=20


We have to be strong just to read this kind of material forget about =
living in a civilization that made it all so. It might be good to get up =
and run around and curse, healthy anger could be good at a moment like =
this but in the end we can only be angry also with ourselves if we are =
honest. I don't know anyone including myself who has not been duped into =
the system to one degree or another. Thus anger in the end is fruitless =
so a better idea is to pray. There is after all a force, a spirit that =
can and does comfort our souls even at the worst of times if we tune =
into it.=20

Wheat market gone wild
Driven by fears of shortage, the price per bushel has shattered records.

BY TOM WEBB=20
Pioneer Press

Article Last Updated: 02/16/2008 12:08:04 AM CST

Decades from now, farmers will still talk about this week - the moment =
when wheat in Minneapolis soared to nearly $20 a bushel.=20

Like a 100-year flood, spring wheat prices have risen relentlessly all =
winter, obliterating every record in sight. At the Minneapolis Grain =
Exchange, wheat fever pushed prices to $19.80 a bushel in trading Friday =
- nearly triple the record from 1996.=20

To grain experts, it's a warning of what happens when grain supplies =
don't keep up with rising demand. Fear of scarcity and shortage push =
markets far beyond any norm.=20

"This wheat market has given us a glimpse of the what-if - what if we =
don't deliver the goods on the production side, because the demand is =
here," warned Ed Usset, a grain marketing specialist at the University =
of Minnesota.=20

For the past month, the hottest market in the nation has been the =
Minneapolis Grain Exchange, the nation's center for trading spring wheat =
futures. The high-protein wheat that farmers grow in Minnesota and the =
Dakotas is prized for making bread, but poor crops worldwide have left =
wheat supplies at a 60-year low.=20

The impact of that shortage reaches far beyond the wheat-trading pit in =
Minneapolis. Trading in Minneapolis has supercharged wheat markets in =
Chicago and Kansas City, Mo., as well. That has pushed corn and soybean =
prices to near-record levels - fueling a wave of uncertainty about =
everything from food price inflation to subsidies in the new farm bill =
to hunger in the developing world.=20

"Minneapolis, that's where this is all coming from, the shortage of the =
actual physical supply of spring wheat and durum," said Elaine Kub, a =
commodity market analyst at DTN. She suspects grain prices elsewhere =
will retreat, but there's little question about the clamor for spring =
wheat.=20

"People are desperate," Kub said. "You definitely heard stories from out =
in the country of elevators offering $20 a bushel and getting no =
sellers... You hear people tossing around the words 'wheat hoarding.' "=20

For decades, agriculture's great problem has been surplus, not scarcity. =
And ruinously low prices, not ruinously high ones. Farmers have =
complained bitterly about this, but consumers benefited from the great =
abundance of grains and proteins. This week's action in Minneapolis =
previews a different sort of marketplace.=20

"It's telling us how close we are to that tipping point in all =
commodities," said Usset, a former grain trader. "Every commodity I know =
would like more acres: corn needs more, soybeans need more... durum =
wheat, malt barley, sunflowers, they all want a little more production." =


The Minneapolis Grain Exchange itself is scrambling to adjust to the =
explosive markets. On Friday, the maximum daily trading limit rose to =
$1.35 a bushel - compared with 30 cents last week - and soon, the =
maximum daily limit will vanish. Officials suggested they had little =
choice. Markets were so volatile that they locked up day after day, so =
nobody could trade wheat futures at all.=20

"Whenever you have set caps, even if they're for good intentions to help =
protect certain people from abnormal price swings, you're going to run =
into others who are affected because you have those price caps," said =
Layne Carlson, treasurer of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange.=20

On Friday, for the first time in 12 trading sessions, the March wheat =
contract did not close up the maximum daily trading limit. Because of =
the higher limits, it closed at $19.35 a bushel, up 82 cents. The return =
of regular trading to the wheat pit may signal an end to the greatest =
run-up in wheat history, with wheat prices rising fourfold in a single =
year.=20

For farmers, that puts the 2008 Minneapolis wheat market atop the list =
of legendary bull markets. There haven't been many: the 1970s boom =
fueled by Russian exports, the drought-stressed corn market of 1988, the =
grain spike of 1996 and the soybean market of 2004.=20

"Absolutely, this is one for the record books, make no mistake about =
it," Usset said. "This will be talked about."=20
