by Robert Wheeler – The Organic Prepper May 27, 2021
In an effort to raise awareness of the U.S.’s looming famine, I recently wrote, “Are You Ready For The EVERYTHING Shortage?” As hyperbolic as it might seem, that title is not an exaggeration. It’s the future we face if we don’t do something to change course.
Also, over the past several months, I’ve written several articles to alarm activists and preppers alike regarding the coming shortage of necessities like food and water. And virtually everything else.
Don’t say you weren’t warned about famine
In the article I mentioned above, I wrote about global shortages and coming shortages facing the worldwide economy. And my other articles warned of food, chip, fuel, and commodity shortages. I also wrote about inflation, crop failures, and scarcity of any goods consumers may need or want.
I will save you my rehashing of that article, but another that I suggest you read is my article entitled “Next On The List of American Catastrophes? A Western Megadrought.” This article details a drought in the American West that is not coming but is already here. I drew the connection between this drought and the future effect of food shortages in America. Many might have ignored that warning.
A month later and the drought is still here, and so are its effects.
Some farmers aren’t even bothering to plant.
In California, some areas are so dry that farmers are not even bothering to plant crops this season. Growers located north of San Francisco pulled out of local farmers’ markets and now produce-box programs. However, County Line Harvest, which farms around 30 acres in Petaluma, does not have enough water to grow the lettuces, peppers, and other produce that go into the subscription boxes. Many other farms nearby are saying the same thing.
California grows a third of the US’s vegetables and 2/3 of the nation’s fruits and nuts. Dry weather is now causing a significant hiccup in food prices and inflation that is already taking place across the US.
But California only has to hold on until the rainy season!
That has already passed.
Only the rainy season was anything but rainy.
And, of course, there are the wildfires.
As the drought worsens in California, the state has already had more than 900 additional wildfires than it did at this point in 2020. Which itself was a record-breaking year that resulted in more than 4% of the state’s land burned. This year’s fires have burned about five times as much land as they did last year at this time.
California’s mountains and foothills will see above-normal wildfire activity from June to August and possibly even into the fall. Keep in mind, about 94% of California is experiencing drought conditions ranging from moderate to exceptional.
Don’t believe me? Pay attention to the trees
Another tell-tale sign is the fact that usually, drought-tolerant trees in both Arizona and California are dying. As Wildfire Today writes,
Junipers are dying in Arizona from a lack of water. The East Bay Times reports that drought is likely responsible for dead or dying acacia, eucalyptus, and Monterey pines in East Bay Regional Parks near San Francisco.
The Associated Press also reports:
In Arizona, junipers are succumbing to the 20-year drought and its two-year intensification, said Joel McMillin, a forest health zone leader for the U.S. Forest Service there. Officials haven’t done a precise count, but anecdotally, the die-off is 5% to 30%, with some patches up to 60%.
. . . . .
In California, normally drought-tolerant blue oaks are dying around the San Francisco Bay Area, said Scott Stephens, a fire science professor at the University of California, Berkeley. “They don’t have access to water. Soil moisture is so low. When you start to see blue oak dying, that gets your attention.”
The drought is affecting the Dakotas also. In North Dakota, for instance, cattle ranchers see grazing lands die off because of no rain. No rain means no grass, which means no hay, which means no food for cattle. If the ranchers can’t sustain the cattle, they have to sell them off or cull the herd, and that is precisely what they are doing. And can you guess what happens when cattle and other livestock get culled? That $3 burger just got more expensive.
In fact, herd culling has reached the point where co-owner Larry Schnell says the auction has two sales a week, which will continue through May.
Last Thursday, Schnell said the auction sold 700 cow-calf pairs.
“We’re in extreme drought,” Schnell said. “We haven’t had a really good rain since September 2019.”
Parks are closing to prevent overfishing due to the drought
And in Colorado, the drought has become so bad that Colorado Parks and Wildlife Officials announced that they are closing a .6 mile of the Yampa River to prevent overfishing that would result from the drought. Because the water releases into the Yampa are “critically low” at only 20% of the average for this time of year and will likely soon fall below 15%.
We’re facing famine conditions.
The drought isn’t coming. It’s here
And whatever you think might be the causes, there are no signs that any reasonable solutions will be discovered or implemented any time soon. The best course of action is to prepare and plan. Now.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you see any way it could be avoidable? How do you plan to prep for this possibility? Let’s talk about it in the comments.
About Robert
Robert Wheeler has been quietly researching world events for two decades. After witnessing the global network of NGOs and several ‘Revolutions’ they engineered in a number of different countries, Wheeler began analyzing current events through these lenses.
Whatever is actually happening to the weather in the US it is likely being exaggerated by the money power running everything, just like everything else for the sole purpose to take more and more control over our lives. It is all part of the centralization process with all power going into their hands. The only way now for freedom to the truth and over our lives is to fight back through all of our block chains for information and control over our own finances.

All part of the plan. Here in the UK the government is gradually switching the country over to a war economy. The can’t try for a lightning campaign against Russia as things are now.
Don’t worry ?
Comrad Kommissar Billy Goetz will grow food for you on his land recently acquired & I would imagine that Comrads Kommissars Bezos, Suckerberger will contribute to feed the American Goyim ??
since the bees will die out there will be anyway no more crop
and glyphosat monsanto and JEW WORLD ORDER + WEF
will do the rest . AT LEAST WE FEED WITH FIATPAPER !
F*ck California. Most Californians can eat sh*t as far as I’m concerned, those sniveling commies and degenerates. If Americans were smart, they’d invade California and mow down 3/4 of the population, especially in the cities.
As for Arizona, it’s a f*cking desert, it’s been a f*cking desert for a long time, so what did they expect building cities there?
I’m sorry to hear about the Dakotas; not a place I’d care to live, but I’ve known some good and decent people from those parts. My area has been getting plenty of rain, so maybe I’ll go up and by some head of cattle up there and transport them down to where they have a fighting chance.
A lot of us have been telling people for years to start preparing. I’m sorry if they didn’t listen as it’s almost too late for them to get it in gear unless they have a lot of money to buy everything they need in short order to set up a viable, self-sustained, defensible homestead.
Friend. within the last two days, I viewed a video of a young farmer saying the government is offering to buy farmers’ crops to be destroyed or be paid to not grow their crops. I should have gotten the video’s address but I did not. I hope you find it and put it on your wonderful site. Terry
I’ll wager that the false Christians who support Israel are not “preppers” and have no survival skills, which means that they will soon die off, which is good.
I think it’s just amazing that people are completely ignorant to not see that what’s happening is precisely what happened in 1917 Russia and post rise to power of Hitler in the Weimar Republic. Horrific divide and conquer, food shortages, unemployment and of course a war to draw all of them in to pay them to feed their families while they are all killed.
Of course, I do not buy into Russia tampering with elections, whatsoever, but what I a beginning to believe is a war between the US & EU against Russia and China with the latter winning overwhelmingly. I do see the US being an occupied country, most certainly.
But people don’t get it do they? They’ve been talking about the US government stopping people from growing food for a long time now. If it’s not stopping farmers getting across borders to feed cattle, it’s arresting people who are growing food at home. But again, tell this to your average Joe and they laugh calling you a nutter, because they’re truly plugged into the tell-a-vision and being programmed.
Waw,
Guaranteed, the only people who prep are patriots/nationalists. Why? Because unlike everyone else, they actually give a sh*t about their nation, their culture, traditions and the sacrifices their ancestors made so they could walk the land.
You’re very, very correct. It’s the non preppers, Joe Public, Antifa, BLM, the fake Christians (liberal hippy Christianity) and the lefties who will all bite the bullet when tshtf. And of course, all those taking the vaccine as well. One day, it will simply be a case of ‘us vs them’ and their security services will have been almost annihilated, either by disease, war or waking up to see their in tptb’s sights as well.
