We are already in a Recession.
It’s going to get much, much, worse.
There is so much bad happening right this very minute that it’s kind of hard to be worrying about what’s still coming but I believe that forewarned is forearmed.
Now, on top of all of the food processing plant fires in the recent past, I just stumbled on this.
Before anyone jumps my ass about the source, I am just putting this out there.
I have done zero other research and can’t verify this information.
Perhaps someone with more time or who is closer to these locations can verify it.
However, if true, it points to a concerted effort to intentionally destroy even more of the food supply available.
| CORRECTION 60-70 TONS OF FROZEN FOOD DESTROYED DUE TO SUSPICIOUS MULTIPLE FREEZER FAILURES IN BILLINGS AND LAUREL MONTANA ,SAMS CLUB/COSTCO/WALMART:THERES NO BACK STOCK AVAILABLE TO REPLENISH WHAT SOEVERSteve, I know you’ll get this info out to the people who will listen. Today around 4pm I received a call from my source at the Billings Regional Landfill that Sam’s Club was unloading now their 3rd roll off truck full of frozen foods. The full load dumped and destroyed was roughly 40-50 TONS of frozen food. This was all being monitored for full destruction at the landfill. Apparently their main Freezer went out over night due to a Freon leak and the exhaust vent was pumping hot air in. This was also confirmed by another source who works for an answering service here in town that takes the repair company calls. Roughly 30 minutes later i get a text from the same Call Service source stating they recieved a repair call for Costco because their big meat cooler had been down for an unknown amount of time and they were also loading up product to dispose of. Im waiting to hear back from a contact at Costco to see how much was lost. Then around 6pm I get a call from a friend who has inside info on the walmart in Laurel, MT (only 12 minites outside billings city limits) saying they also had a freezer fail and we loading up 20 tons of “spoiled food” into roll off trucks to destroy. Then around 6:45pm my landfill source got a call about a fire on the trash pile (the same pile all the food was sent to). This fire was burning hot and black. We have been watching them put it out for almost 2 hours now. “Now do you think any of this food will be replenished’? Do you think they will be sending more food to the biggest city in Montana? My guess is not. If they do it will be nowhere near the amount to recover the loss. SQ-PICTURE OF LAND FILL FIRE HAS BEEN SENT TO ME AND WILL UPDATE!MEN IN SUITS OVERSEEING DESTRUCTION OF FOOD -BOTH ON SITES AND AT DUMP! |

| After 30+ Years as a refrigeration service tech,Montana Refrigeration Failure-Multiple freezer failures, almost simultaneously…. highly improbable… and mostly impossible!…I can tell you… THIS IS STEAMY BS!!!! ALL freezers have high temp alarm systems, connected to alarm companies. I’ve NEVER been in a large commercial freezer that had a forced vent system to outside air….a failed electric defrost termination control and continuous operation of evaporator fans… maybe… Also.. larger systems are required to have refrigerant leak alarms. Multiple freezer failures, almost simultaneously…. highly improbable… and mostly impossible! MANY safety protocols would need to be breached. THIS WAS A DIRECT ATTACK!!!! Frozen food is the weakest link in the chain. As a side note… the box stores and large grocery chains usually have service contracts with national affiliated contractors. Service response is generally required within 3 hrs or less. In the event of unrepairable systems, refrigerated semi trailers are brought in and the product moved. Also… commercial freezers run at 20+ below zero to minimize frosting… Think about how many hours would be required to defrost that much product, to where refreezing is not allowed… +10°. NOTE: The total value of the product plus all disposal costs are covered by insurance. I smell an inside corporate RAT!!! UPDATE ONE-Hi Steve, Our Walmart in Manchester Iowa lost their refrigeration late last night. I stopped by to get something about 1900 our time, and most of the coolers and shelves were cleared of everything. I didn’t think much of it until my wife looked at your website and saw the story you posted about the cooler situations in Montana. Interesting… B-in Iowa |
Like I said, grain of salt, trust but verify etc.
Still, if true, 50 TONS of frozen food is no small amount.
Would I put it past someone to be doing this intentionally?
Let me ask you a question to answer that.
Has anyone really come up with good explanations why all those processing plants mysteriously went up in flames one after another?
The answer to both is NO.
I did a search on Startpage for Billings Mt. 60 tons of frozen food destroyed.
There are multiple sites reporting on this.
For what that’s worth.
Fuck to the hell. Guess I’ll be learning to eat those whistle pigs grand pappy said were good eats… Or cicadas. Soft shell vs hard shell chucky baby?
Meats good just lots of labor for so little of it.
Does it taste like chicken? 😁. Seriously though, is it gamey? I’ve had plenty of wild game but don’t like the overtly gaminess of some. But I’ll eat what I must. And when I speak of whistle pigs, I’m referring to ground hogs, like Punxsutawney Pete. They get quite sizable round here.
This is horrific to say the least. We are at war – its not like they havent told us to our faces what they planned on doing to us. Dirty Bastards. Stock your freezers while you can, coming to a mid western town near you.
This is horrible. stock up while you can!
food has being the weapon of choice for tyrants forever.
that said. home and small scale farming will be the only thing to save some of us.
and even then, you will have to post guards around any food source you have.
when you think about it, it is the best weapon “they ” can use against the mass of people- i.e. getting us to kill each other off in the getting enough to eat.
remember one thing. being civil on 90% of the people is at best skin deep.
just look at the after turkey day sales to see how bad people will get/go to get what they want.
food is a winner for them, reduce the food supply and some people will die off, the ones that DON’T will be fighting the others for what little is left.
gardens that don’t look like gardens will be one way to get around this, as most people have little to no idea what food looks like in the fields. unless it looks like
something like a garden or crop field. think of peanuts, most of the soldiers in the army of the north had no idea what they looked like, so they didn’t destroy the plants. it was the only reason why the south didn’t starve to death in 1865-6. we need to start thinking along the same lines here.
spuds don’t look like much of anything, easy to hide in plain sight.
grown in old hay bails. cardboard boxes or whatever will work.
learning how to grow and can your produce will be very important here in the near future the way shit is going.
it does look like they want to kill off as many people as they can. the problem that
“they” don’t see yet, is the ones left alive will be a lot harder to handle than they think.
also in this, is the problem of people all over the world saying “fuck you” to this whole idea of a reset. comms is one thing they will clamp down on hard.
they do not want us comparing notes or anything else for that matter.
as long as they can make you “feel” like there is nothing you can do, or as one person you can’t change anything. you will go along with the program.
because, if they ever got around to talking with others and figuring out what they trying to pull here. the fuckers are done. and they know that too.
the thing is, a lot of those inbred fuckers can’t see how fucked up their plan is
or how hard it will be to pull off. this is where helping and teaching others how to grow food and other things will pay off big time.
the covid scam worked in way they never thought of- it did wake a lot of people up to the bullshit these clowns are doing.
and when people start dropping like flies from the not a vax clot shot,,
there will be no place for them to hide anymore.
they say 40% of the people DIDN’T take the shot, I bet it a lot higher than that
depending on where you look/are.
we need a few things to survive , food, shelter, clean water and maybe meds.
we best get to working on that.
There are no HVAC parts. Everyone is waiting forever. You can alarm all you want, but if the part isn’t around, the part isn’t around. and billings is 600 miles from the next nearest “big” city. (probably Denver).
60 tons of food is nothing. ti’s 3 truckloads. A Costco probably gets 10 or 20 TRUCKLOADS of deliveries a day. 7 days a week. A food warehouse ships hundreds of truckloads of food to grocery stores every day. There are multiple food warehouses in every big city. (not Billings, again, nearest is Denver).
It sucks for Billings (a city of about 200k people), but this is a giant nothing burger.
Probably should’ve read your post before I wrote mine.
In the 100 years or so that large commercial food plants have been in operation, there have been no, none, nada instances where more than one fire at these types of locations has broken out in a decade, never mind one year.
Add in the fires at fertilizer plants and now this? What conclusion would one draw from these incidents.
Yet, from the MSM, crickets, never mind any kind of investigative journalism, not to mention nothing being reported or investigated even at non-MSM sites like Breitbart or Gateway Pundit.
3 times is enemy action.
Spicy times are here. The big boogaloo is just around the corner. The only thing that surprises me now is the rampant normalcy bias in everyone around me. I’m just gonna hunker down and be the grey man until my cover is blown.
Yeah ok, 60 tons sounds like a lot but thats less than
3 semi-trailers. Right now theres thousands of trucks hauling
food around this country.
Not saying there’s no tomfoolery about but lets keep in perspective.
60 tons IS a lot. The friggin greenies start with what you call small
then advance to larger and larger. Another frog in the water pot
type that grows til it’s out of control and by then it’s a damn
mass food shortage.
Just like in real estate location, location, location is a big part of self sufficiency and self sufficiency is the answer to supply side problems. Anyone living in a blue hive has tons of added problems and stress from all the unprepared and gimmedats. Heck even in a very small community in the absolute middle of nowhere we figure our first order of business will be to protect our resources and survive the die off of the first few weeks because I don’t know of anyone here I trust to have my six.
After that it will just be the day to day grind of subsistence living. Unless some ferals find their way this far out. Then I guess we’ll find out if all that long distance target practice was worth it.
We still have home grown veggies and fruit in the freezers from the past several years. Just hung a beef in our cold room on Saturday, most likely will start cutting and wrapping this weekend and then when the cold room is empty knock a second beef down and repeat the process. There’s the next years worth of beef for the family. Three yearlings are on pasture for the year after that. There’s contingency plans for preserving meat if the power goes out.
Just started harvesting this years raspberries and blueberries, for some reason we’re about a month late this year. Spring strawberries are over but we’ll get a fall crop off the plants as well. The apple trees are carrying fruit that will be a fall harvest. Potatoes are already bigger than my fist and we’ve been eating fresh onions for the past three weeks. Of course we still have gallons of dried onions put back from previous harvests. Wheat harvest will be starting in a couple to few weeks and we’ll purchase several hundred pounds right out of the combine. You do have a manual flour mill converted for an electric motor (and readily converted back) and five gallon food safe buckets and lids don’t you.
Late August through September will see the rest of the truck garden, tomatoes, beets, sweet and chili peppers, carrots, and herbs, to name a few, harvested and processed for storage. We’ve been able to supplement our canning jar lids through North 40 and Walmart. Yeah I know, but when you need it, you need it and get it anywhere you find it.
Add in hunting and fishing and we probably should purchase another chest freezer just to be on the safe side for space.
We’re getting ready to top off 500 gallons of gasoline storage and seriously thinking about putting in another big LP gas tank for our dual fuel gen sets. When we run out of gaseous and liquid fuels it will be time to fall back on passive solar, wood and coal, even for refrigeration.
There’s probably five or six hundred pounds of honey waiting for me to make time on the extractor and that’s from previous years. I don’t know where they’re finding the nectar flow but the bees are putting up tons of honey this year. We had another 8 swarms come right into our back yard this year and managed to collect seven of them for our apiary. In addition got a call to do a cut out in an old outbuilding of another colony. I think these swarms come from hives set out in Canola fields because they always seem to come in from the south.
Speaking of honeybees, is anyone else who keeps bees finding random instances of missing queens in their hives? We’ve had five hives suddenly turn up queenless over the last two months. I’ve read some articles about queens not living as long and not a fecund as they used to be but nothing definitive. Fortunately for us all but two recovered on their own and we grafted brood frames from strong hives in the two that were completely broodless and are waiting to see if they are able to rear a queen. A very positive note is I haven’t seen any evidence of varroa mite on the sticky boards so far this year.
So on the food and water side of the equation for short and mid term needs we’re pretty well set. Long term we’ll have to relocate for reasons I won’t get into right now.
There’s a lot more we could do for a lot of other facets of survival if it all goes upside down but most of it needs to wait until we know what’s happening before we make haste slowly in any direction.
In summary I don’t fear survival, I fear, maybe that’s too strong a word, what concerns me more is all the other folks not ready for survival.

As I suspected.
You have been busier than a one armed paper hanger in a hurricane.
Glad to see you stop in, I am always wondering how you are doing.
As for what’s coming, I’m gonna do what I can do and hope my crafty ass can make it through the first wave.
If I can do that I figure I have a better shot than most.
I try to hit your blog at least every other day if not daily, it’s just that often I don’t feel like I really have anything to write that adds to the content or I write something and decide I don’t like it and delete rather than post it.
Yes, you with your knowledge, skill in using that knowledge and tools and resources are much better equipped to survive what’s coming than 99 percent of those within 30~50 miles of your current location.
I fully expect to see you on the other side and perhaps consider a melding of skills and resources at a location halfway between us that is much better suited to long term survival than either of our current locations. If you ever want to continue this conversation we can take it offline. I know you have my email, sorry I hardly ever check it anymore so be patient if you send something, I changed cell providers so I’ll email you my new number in case I haven’t already sent it to you.
later

Wes, I’m having a hell of a time with the bees here in SW Mo. Spring was cold and wet and now we are roasting at 106*. Poor mating weather all around for the second year running. Fecundity and acceptance are “off” here also. Most were slow to build with few swarms and supersedures either taking off slowly or failing. Queen rearing was a bust for me this year. On the mite front I bathtub my own Formic and have used Randy O’s Oxalic and Glycol on sponges. My main battles coming up are going to be with hive beetles and robbing if we don’t get some rain.
HTR
Sorry for the late reply, been doing field work for the last few days and the only reason I’m in this early today is the A/C in the Steiger failed around 10am and there’s no way I’m sitting on top of the heat from that engine and tranny all afternoon in the heat we are currently having. I finally had to admit defeat after lunch and shut down.
Our spring was wet too, especially for an area that only averages around 8 inches of rain a year, but it was actually good for us as it drove a lot of wildflower bloom we normally don’t get. The bees sure enjoyed it and most hives have seen good growth. The ones that turned up queenless have obviously shown a drop in numbers rather than a build up.
Varroa, I treat with Oxalic acid in a vaporizer two times a year, in the spring before honey supers and in the fall after I pull honey supers, whether I think the hives need it or not. I pulled sticky boards from five colonies over the weekend and didn’t find a single mite.
Hive beetles – I’m really fortunate, I’ve never had a hive beetle problem here since I established this apiary in 2004.
Now watch since I’ve bragged I’m going to get hammered with both problems.
Good luck with your bees

Wife just told me over dinner that she wasn’t able to get everything at the local neighborhood Walmart today. She said all of the coolers and freezers weren’t working and were covered with blankets. I didn’t think much of it and then I open this after dinner. This store is only 7 years old. Im nowhere near Montana and I don’t believe in coincidence.
