[ note prior to starting this article.  I wrote all three articles without once considering cannibalism, a fact that only registered with a minions comment.  Strange, because just two days prior to beginning this series I had made a snarky comment about hunters with 223 caliber rifles being unable to bag their human game.  There is no excuse for my oversight, but this does NOT mean I am slipping into senility.  My mind was just on other topics, sidetracked.  I was distracted, not entering dementia.  After reflecting on my moronic slip for some time, I decided that this series was still fundamentally sound.  The speed of the collapse ( because so many cascading failures had preceded it, the system will crash quickly.  It will seem virtually overnight but there will be foreshocks ), the reluctance to revert to cannibalism for the vast majority of people even during a famine shown historically, the "it's different this time" near universal firearm ownership, all seem to indicate that cannibalism should not alter the timeframe unduly.  This obviously deserves an additional article, which will be forthcoming without too much delay.  Still, I do owe one and all an apology for my slip ]

I know I covered this before.  When, I have no idea.  Since I don’t index my work, or title it correctly, or give it much mind after we all finish up commenting on it, it is actually usually faster to just write up a new article on a subject than it is to find the first article.  And that is the writing still on blogs online.  My original blog is no longer live, as I didn’t moderate the comments and Google was forever sending me requests to remove offending politically incorrect material, without pinpointing where exactly it was.  Rather than constantly dredging through dozens of comments over dozens of days, I finally just flushed the blog.  Try finding anything in the mess I saved as a PDF or Word file.

*

I believe the original article was in reaction to Rawles asserting that the die-off would be one to two years or something similar.  Something which to me is totally unrealistic.  Eighty years ago, compact cities were surrounded by smallholder farms, which primarily relied on draft animals rather than machines ( the huge glut of foods during the Great Depression were from mechanizing the farms, the first Green Revolution as oil was turned into food.  Unfortunately, everyone thinks that paradigm still holds.  Sure, and east Texas is still providing most of the world with its oil ).

*

Transportation of food to the cities was still a necessity, but it wasn’t as exposed to disruption as it is today where we have a navy to protect the oil shipped over here from the middle east, which is used to irrigate corn fields in the Midwest and then used to haul that grain to factories and then thousands of miles away to consumers who use the grid to store and cook the food.  Food isn’t local anymore, and the little that is is still reliant on imported oil, because even with the short lived fracking oil ( which is directly a product of easy credit, derivatives and financial shenanigans ) bubble we still import a minimum of half our petroleum and over half of our artificial fertilizer.

*

A hundred years ago you had a twenty of thirty mile food transportation problem and today you have a twenty THOUSAND mile food transportation vulnerability ( food and all its components zip merrily along hither and yon, back and forth to the cheapest labor ).  With any disruption of oil or credit ( and need I remind you that the banks love to play in the derivatives market because one can never ever have enough extra hookers and blow in their extra mansions-this is vulnerable as well when a bank has one percent assets to cover liabilities and sometimes that one percent can be a counterparty risk asset-in other words a digital trinket rather than actual currency or gold ), transportation breaks down.

*

Oh, not to worry, your urban living ass bleats, the government will nationalize the farms and protect convoys and ship us the food.  Okay, even setting aside the issue of being unable to protect a simple Hummer convoy in failed state Iraq, let alone eight million barrels of oil a day from various locations ( being a naval hegemony to protect shipping lanes is like being a patrol car cop in the ghetto.  The threat along must work, because you can’t protect every single ship/citizen ), have you actually witnessed the government trying to do anything remotely competently lately?  I mean, I’m still waiting for a wall on the Mexican border, a withdrawal from Afghanistan, affordable health care and a retirement system that isn’t already broke.

*

There isn’t enough manpower to protect every single aspect of food production.  Like all monopolies on force, the fear of retaliation does most of the heavy lifting.  Absent that fear, the system breaks down.  Remember the Somali pirates?  They didn’t fear the Navy, and ran amok.  In theory, we stopped that and now there is no threat, although I think we just stopped reporting it after a few well publicized SEAL actions.  The problem doesn’t exist if we don’t see it.  Like hauling off World Trade Center rubble so we can’t analyze it for explosives residue, or pretend to kill Osama Bin Obammy, or “disappear“ long term unemployed.

*

Anyway.  Does it really take much imagination to figure out that a million threats to a million threads that prop up a global food supply chain can unravel at the speed of light when just a few crucial links fail?  If not enough food to matter is local, the vast majority if not the total dependent on global trade, and the government has a really bad track record of being honest and so anything they tell you is a lie and hence their assumption in a claim in their ability to secure this is likely erroneous, what in the name of all that is holy and just gives you the idea that we can still ship food around for a damn year?!?!

*

The nation state as an entity that is adequate for the tasks it has appropriated is directly tied to surplus resources.  Extra resources lead to extra forces protecting this monopoly AND delivering on its promises.  Since the basic task of monopolizing force has been undergoing an erosion for decades now, that basic contract of protection for support has been broken, what makes you think that the state can perform lesser tasks like protecting the food the citizens require?  The state cannot protect you from criminals or terrorists ( I understand that the terrorists were creatures of the deep state intelligence services, another Pearl Harbor false flag.  What YOU should understand is that the state has sold out its perceived role as protector for short term manipulation ), so why do you think it can protect its infrastructure as well?

*

The state cannot protect its military from the manipulations of its debt provider ( PC and female equality in combat positions inherently weakens our military readiness or effectiveness ).  And the military is going to protect all our food production?  The bank isn’t going to be throwing money at the military in the event of a major disruption.  How are they functioning well without it?  How do they even procure extra rounds or food themselves?   Continued tomorrow.
