Here We Go!

Scanning the headlines this morning was enough to cause me to start worrying, again.

This crap going on in Ukraine is already starting to have serious repercussions and it is only going to get very, very much worse down the road.

One of the issues that I have trying to communicate my concerns to The Wifely Unit is that she doesn’t ever look down the road. She pretty much lives in a week to week mode.

I try to look at things in a year to year mode at the very least.

You can see this from my long past posts and the Byline in the header where it says Documenting The Death Of America.

That came to me over ten years ago and it has proven to be quite prophetic here as of late.

What has me worried at the moment is the long term consequences of this war in Ukraine regarding prices and availability of quite a few commodities.

Between Russia and Ukraine, they produce ONE QUARTER of the entire World Supply of Wheat.

Corn is another biggie.

Not to mention scads of other things that are already in limited supply.

Ask any European about natural gas supply issues, they are screwed if Russia decides to shut the valve off.

Right now this morning, oil has already went over $104 a barrel, Wheat futures are skyrocketing, Gold has hit $2,000 an ounce at least once and someone dumped a huge load of paper on Silver that so far HASN”T BEEN DELIVERED.

Only 10% of the physical Silver has been delivered.

This is very troublesome.

If there is a run on physical Silver and it can’t be delivered there is going to be a MASSIVE reaction, GLOBALLY.

There is Blood in the water.

The food supply issues are only going to get worse.

Farmers are paying up to 4X more for fertilizer, if they can find it, than last year and many are saying they aren’t going to be able to plant Corn this year.

THIS IS A HUGE RED FLAG.

There are no Government food stockpiles anymore.

You are on your own.

Inflation is already causing serious problems as it is causing things like food and gasoline to eat up bigger and bigger portions of incomes.

Now throw in these projected shortages on top of that.

Things are going to get real ugly in the coming months.

All of this is happening by design, I have said repeatedly that the Commie’s favorite weapon is food, it looks like the fiends from the WEF are well aware of the power it represents when you control the food and energy supplies for an entire planet.

Just for giggles add in the Chinky Flu and their Death Jab program and maybe you will start to get an inkling of just how devious and serious these people are about wiping out large sections of the population.

Because we are on our own, I am not just sitting here watching all of this happening while sitting on my thumb and bitching about it.

I very strongly suggest that everyone else take a good look around at what is coming and take appropriate measures.

Ten years ago the media tried to label Preppers as circus sideshow freaks.

If you trusted the media, you are an idiot.

Soon to be a very hungry idiot.

In Case You Haven’t Been Paying Attention, They Are Trying To Kill Your Ass

And they are trying to do it from all angles.

If you have any of these at home,

THROW THEM OUT.

Poison Control Centers Warn About Toxic Chemical in At-Home COVID-19 Test Kits

By Jack Phillips February 27, 2022 Updated: February 28, 2022

Some at-home rapid COVID-19 tests contain a toxic chemical that may be harmful to both children and adults, according to health officials.

The Cincinnati Drug and Poison Information Center reported an uptick in accidental exposures to a possibly toxic substance, sodium azide, in at-home COVID-19 test kits, according to a blog post. Meanwhile, the National Poison Control Center issued a warning about the chemical.

“It is important to know that the extraction vial in many rapid antigen kits includes the chemical sodium azide as a preservative agent,” the center said. “The BinaxNow, BD Veritor, Flowflex, and Celltrion DiaTrust COVID-19 rapid antigen kits all contain this chemical.”

Sodium azide is a colorless, odorless powder that testers dip cotton swabs into. The chemical is found in herbicides, pest control agents, and airbags for cars.

“Small doses of sodium azide can lower blood pressure, and larger doses may cause more serious health effects,” an advisory from Health Canada also said. “ProClin is also found in many kits. It contains chemicals that can cause skin and eye irritation, as well as allergic reactions.”

Some hospitals around the United States say they have received a surge in phone calls about exposures to the chemical.

“We started getting our first exposures to these test kits around early November,” said Sheila Goertemoeller, pharmacist and clinical toxicologist for the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. “It was, really, all ages.”

“Mostly, I’ve been very worried about our young children.”

Accidental exposure is occurring among both children and adults, said Dr. Kelly Johnson-Arbor, with the National Capital Poison Center in Washington, told WNEP over the weekend.

“People might mistake them for eye drops. Children might drop it onto their skin. Adults will sometimes mistakenly put them into their eyes,” she said.

“You don’t want to leave it on the skin because it could potentially cause an allergic reaction or a skin rash.

“If someone drinks the solution, it’s really important to contact poison control right away. The solutions have different ingredients. Some have non-toxic ingredients and others have more dangerous ingredients.”

Officials told WNEP that there’s no need to throw away the test kits, but people should be mindful when using them.

“Use them properly, dispose of them properly, and it won’t cause an issue,” Dr. Jeffrey Jahre, with St. Luke’s University Health Network, told the outlet.

If you suspect you or someone you know has ingested the chemical, officials recommend not to make the person vomit. For eye exposures, rinse the eyes for 15 to 20 minutes with warm water. For skin exposures, rinse the skin well with tap water. Immediately check the Poison Control Center’s online tool for guidance or call poison control at 1-800-222-1222, the website says.Jack PhillipsBREAKING NEWS REPORTER

Bank Runs Have Started In Russia Too

First it was Canada, now the Russians are scrambling trying to get foreign currency out of their banks because it has because their government has been blocked from using the SWIFT system.

The Ruble is expected to take a beating starting tomorrow.

“I‘m In Shock”: Russians Scramble To Pull Money From ATMs As Bank Runs Begin

In his brief assessment on the impact exclusion from SWIFT would have on Ukrainian banks, hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman said that “once a bank can’t transfer or receive funds from other banks, its solvency can be at risk. If I were Russian, I would take my money out now. Bank runs could begin in Russia on Monday.

It has already started.

Follow that link to read the rest.

WWIII is well under way people. There may be tanks and planes and bombs dropping in Ukraine but the rest of the entire planet is fighting a 4th Gen war using cyber attacks and economic weapons.

Food insecurity, supply chain interruptions and energy availability are also part of the arsenal being deployed against every citizen of the world, right now, as you read this.

It ain’t going to get any better anytime soon either, as a matter of fact, it is just getting warmed up.
