You're not going to believe this Riley. Some criminals stole the networking cables and equipment in the village and took down out Internet. Wecome to the Mad max anarcho-tyranny. I've been too busy to do much posting but have been reading your posts. I hope all is well. :)

This is too good not to share:

Life is the result of the struggle between dynamic opposites

Form and Chaos, Substance and Oblivion, Light and Dark

And all the infinite variations of Yin and Yang

When the pendulum swings in favour of one

It will eventually swing in favour of it's opposite

Thus the balance of the universe is maintained

Amazing album.

Peter Zeihan said that by late 2022, the fall to be more precise, the world will have enough food to sustain 6billion people, not the 7.8bi currently alive.

all of that due to crop failures, unplanted crops (Ukraine may leave 30-50% of its arable area unplanted this season) and pure lack of fertilizers

Yours truly, who gets half of his iincome from a soybean & corn farm in Central Brazil, completely agrees with him. Just that I think SHTF by late winter 2023 (always northern hemisphere seasons for reference).

Surprising no one, the hit will be disproportionately on AFrica and the poorer parts of Asia. This is why Macron is getting so histerical , because he sees the writing on the wall, tens of millions of africans and arabs on the verge of starvation moving north to the Mediterranean shores.

Riley is more than right in leaving Moscow to some refuge in mountains. About potatoes I don´t understand, but I give a tip here. China calls seeds "Agricultural semiconductors" with reason. America controls the supply pf corn and wheat seeds worldwide. Soybeans are different because there is something about plants who have different genders (soybeans) and plants in which both genders coexist in the same vegetal (corn or example).

If you are dealing with the second type (i.e. corn) make sure to have fertile seeds, seeds whose plant they originate is able to produce fertile seeds. you can still find fertile seeds pretty much everywhere, they are just completely inadequate for large scale commercial farming.
