Fully agree with your insights, Gary. A 'scarcity' mindset also makes the majority of people instantly selfish as they perceive themselves in a survival situation. With less out there, there is obviously less to share. A deepening of the ongoing divides - they work so hard at sustaining - occurs.

Insidious.

Yes exactly, so easier to control through divide and conquer tactics too!

Why do you think I started Bush Food Forager? You can't ration nature if you know what's out there to eat!

Good idea. The hedgerows in the UK are laden with fruit which goes to waste. Maybe one silver lining of rationing is that people will start to reconnect where their food actually comes from.

You write: "I hope that one outcome of this report by the Times is to make it abundantly obvious now that they are creating these extreme fear factors and disaster narratives, precisely as a means for manipulating the population . . . Again, I think when they keep explicitly laying out their agendas and their strategies, we should probably believe them!" MY MAIN RESPONSE: They have been making their plans obviously clear for a long time. The AWAKE take heed, but cannot reach (til now anyway) the vast majority of the SPELL-BOUND. As for the report, the AWAKE are already awake, don't need that article - and the SPELL-BOUND are, if anything, put deeper within the spell. So yes, I believe what they say they are planning. I already have a very good idea of that. WHAT MATTERS MOST, from my perspective anyway, is DISRUPTING. I could see no indication of how this can be done in your article. Maybe that's the next step.

Good and fair points. The main thing that is "new" here is the juxtaposition of the explicit agenda and something major happening which is very tangible in real lives of people - the real rationing of food in the supermarket in the UL. I like the concept of disruption, I am also thinking in terms of disobedience. Will ponder.

I believe this happened with the whole pandemic rehearsals. My experience is this is a repeat - a favorite tactic. The putting the story all over the place makes it more easy to swallow for the spell-bound when it happens - because the narrative has already been put it in place.

Yes, agree on the method. And they sure have created a lot of confusion in society, especially in the young folks. There is also a "demoralization" factor?

Albo says we must spend $130,000,000,000+ on the AUKUS Nuclear Subs to drive us into the gutter.

Spot on! When George Soros, well over a decade ago, wrote in his own book that in order to implement his vision globalism it would be necessary to denude the United States of her sovereignty, we here across the pond should have listened. Years later, as he dedicated $1 Billion to effect his political changes we should have organized against it. Western democracies are historically slow to awaken to any danger and it is maddening to those of us who are more farseeing than others, but we should never grow weary in well doing - we must continue spreading the word to effect cultural change which in turn will bring political change.

Yes, I see old Soros is still at it!

Bang on the nose! Manufactured, to manipulate (pressure) behavior changes 'they' deem good (for their pocket books of course, NOT the planet. Screw the planet.) How do we know its not for the planet? Because... they still dump CO2, they still use plastic, they still drive cars and use / need gasoline and diesel (imagine not being able to running the cooling pumps on all the nuke reactors in the world... bam and there goes the neighborhood/country. Or hum, are those pumps and circuits hardened for an EMP? Cause you know, XX class solar flare.. incoming?

Hopefully, this rather lengthy overview of the evolution of electromagnetic treatments is laying a secure foundation for understanding the promise of healing in the future. My own studies go back to the early 70s so I am going somewhat from memory, but this is safe so long as the principles are understood.Initially, all the investigative work done by Dr. Albert Abrams involved direct contact with the patients. Since some patients were in very poor condition, occasionally medical students stood in for the patients by using some sort of connection, such as a wire and much later a sample, what is often called a witness. This might be a drop of blood, saliva, hair, or a photograph. Over time, this evolved into remote treatments that, of course, raised some eyebrows as well as many accusations that have to be understood in context.My apologies that some details slip my mind, but an experiment was done in England using unexposed film and a frequency device. The subject was to visualize pictures lost in bombing, photographs with sentimental value. After a very successful day, one of the staff noticed that the machine had not been plugged in. It is easy to imagine the restlessness in the room as well as the attempts to explain how this might have been possible.At this juncture, we obviously have to ask if the results has any relationship to the frequency device or merely to thoughts. This is very important because reliance had been placed on the equipment rather than the much more subjective nature of an invisible factor that defies both time and space.Personally, I do not think the one theory negates the other, but both require examination. Since the advent of the germ theory, a lot of attention shifted from the individual to the pathogen. If we examine the history of medicine, there were epochs when compassion seemed lacking and the burden of sin or karma weighed heavily on the human psyche. Doctors sometimes withheld treatment on the grounds that patients deserved to suffer for their misdeeds. Shifting the blame to a microorganism lifted the guilt by implicating an impersonal causal factor. This was potentially very broad since it could include hygiene, contamination of water or food, or microscopic organisms that only a few specialists had ever actually seen.We could argue that the pendulum swung very far in the opposite direction. However, in doing so, all the blame tended to fall on the germ. Within the radionics world, these pathogens had specific identifiable frequencies that could be negated. From a sociological and psychological perspective, this was liberating, but the responsibility placed on the doctor was now greater than ever. In short, the doctor could be blamed for the failures . . . and patients tended to place inordinate faith in their skills.Meanwhile, the psychospiritual patterns underlying the manifestation of disease were largely ignored, even ridiculed as unscientific. Somewhere in between these extremes, there is a lot to explore so the fact that an experiment succeeded despite the fact that the frequency device was unplugged takes some explanation.At 80, it feels justifiable to include personal observations even if they lack footnotes. The idea of a vibratory factor being causal is probably not new, but we probably have to see that the concept of an invisible force gave rise to an avalanche of alternative healing practices, not all of which are entirely grounded in either science or reality. That said, in the right hands, many of these practices have both integrity and efficacy.We cannot, however, appreciate them unless we understand the underlying principles. Just as pathogens have frequencies, all life forms not only have patterns but the capacity to respond to internal and external influences. To make this as clear as possible, try to visualize the unexposed photographic plate or film responding to the thought of the individual who wanted to reconstruct an heirloom photograph. It is very easy to understand the sentimental value, but exactly how is that energy transmitted to the film? We can speculate that the clearer the inner visualization, the better the image outcome would be, but can we explain this in medically acceptable terms?Two points stand out for me. First, the subject or patient has a blueprint that he or she can project. Second, this pattern could be stronger than a temporary application of a frequency.This leads to the question of whether a frequency treatment involves one session or multiple sessions. We find practitioners on both sides of this fence, but I will argue in favor of multiple sessions because patterns are often very deep and persistent. Applying a frequency or a psychological understanding to a pattern may shift it, but it may or may not be a permanent fix since the tendency to get back in the same rut may be quite strong.Perhaps my father said it best. One day, he showed me a horoscope. I asked, ”What’s this?” He said, “I’m going to marry her.” I said, “What? Another Piscean named Ruth?” He said, “Yes, it’s easier to make a mistake you are used to than a brand new one.” Well, he did have a sense of humor, but . . .It is very easy to go off on tangents because the subject matter is actually vast. As a music therapist, I cannot separate “frequency” from “waves” so the interface between something like radionics and music is cymatics. Here, we see that sound and frequency actually cause movement and formation of patterns, but they are not necessarily permanent. The patterns are formed by the “application” of sound, but when the sound is no longer vibrating, the forms tend to reshape after the frequency application is suspended.If we define frequency broadly enough, it will include not just the devices stemming from the work of Abrams, Rife, Voll, and others, but all the tuning forks, singing bowls, hands on healing and noise of our civilization such as endless audible and inaudible use of waves for broadcasting, the noise of machines and vehicles and planes, as well as the sounds of babbling brooks and wind. To this, we can add the songs of birds and music. On top of this, we can add all the electromagnetic pollution, everything from Wi-Fi to the circuit boards in our appliances. This is a soup, and everything affects everything so none of us are exempt from influence, probably not even if inside a Faraday cage, but thoughts probably ignore the barriers that block EMF. Moreover, as we have seen, thoughts are actually both creative and powerful. The work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, Messages from Water, certainly points this direction.Yesterday, I added a new section on music, mostly without commentary. The purpose is simply to share performances that are outstanding. For me, sound is inseparable from frequency, but this series of essays still has a little ways to go.

As to rationing of cash, people would find other means to do business, as they did in the US during the Great Depression of the 1930s, where many small towns especially in rural areas, ran out of circulating cash. Silver money was hoarded and not used, or there wasn't any at all, so people paid in scrip, or other means, such as "wooden nickels". As for "This would create a scarcity of fossil fuels", consider that the scarcity is already here - fossil fuels, especially light sweet crude oil, are in a state of depletion: https://ourfiniteworld.com/2023/06/30/the-world-economy-is-becoming-unglued-models-miss-real-world-behavior/

Yes, Chris Martenson of Peak Prosperity also reckons we have passed "peak oil".

Before Covid, I had started to hear a bit more about Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Developmental. Over time, it has occurred to me the scope of this agenda. It is to generate the fear that something big will happen and we as global citizens need to do something. The event could be environmental, economic, a health crisis or social upheaval. To stop this to be determined crisis or emergency, the Sustainable development goals will not stop, but rather lessen the damage. The people must sacrifice, while the corporations and elite benefit. It is about the public being scripted to be lockdowed, follow emergency medical and social procedures, while giving up their access to access to monetary resources.

Gary, I have been slowly, patiently, thoughtfully "stocking up," rather than feeling anxious and wanting to get it all done in a weekend. I bought stackable bins so everything is "grab-and-go" ready. (And that reminds me: I ought to fill some more bins this weekend!)

“the government and the elected leaders are precisely the people responsible for the county’s food security”

Consider it may be unwise to trust random strangers with your and your family’s survival. They might decide to kill you (or facilitate your death) to alleviate that responsibility. Best to always take responsibility yourself.

Yes, I am not saying we should put our personal safety or health in their hands, quite the opposite, https://garysharpe.substack.com/p/why-i-wont-take-health-advice-from but when the national level security is compromised we should hold their feet to the fire...

We are doing this to ourselves by not being prepared. Change your mindset and your life so you are less vulnerable and we all win. We can choose to be different, independent outliers who choose to fight being “collected” at the whim of elitists who see themselves as gods.
