Must Read: Shelves Go Bare And MREs Are Sold Out, As Media Fuels Panic Buying And Economic Hysteria. And A Rant

I’m sure everyone right now is aware of all the fears of an energy and supply chain crisis (unless you live under a rock), that is happening in America and all over the world.

Normally, regular readers are accustom to me staying fairly neutral with the reports until I give my commentary on it. But not this report. I need to do a bit of ranting for a change, and I need to say some things that may be harsh to some. So if you can’t handle that, then perhaps turn away now. I am going to say some things that may sound arrogant and condescending: it is not meant to be, but I must speak like a fool in some respects. So please, bare with me as, there are some things I need to say.

So, where do I start? Well, I guess let’s start with all the fear the media has created once again, and a bit of a recap of some things. Now being broadcast across a wide spectrum of different news outlets covering the political spectrum, is this ‘gorilla panic’ of supply chain storages that continue to persist and get worse, an energy debacle, and inflation that keeps increasing.

Now, as regular readers of The WP know, I have been debunking this narrative that the economy was booming since day one (and I’ll cover some of that here in a moment). And that narrative still holds true, there are just some “looming problems” and “inconveniences” that the media can no longer ignore.

But as I have said for so long, anytime the media (whether it be varying degrees of the right, left, or center) puts something out there – especially on the television screen, headlines on social media, and email inbox stories – it’s because they are conjuring up some sort of narrative; even if there is truth to it, they have to put some kind of a spin on it. Ultimately, it’s firstly about money, but then to also beget emotional, mental, and physical responses; tearing down common sense and critical thinking. I’ve covered this many times.

[27] An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. [28] A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. [29] A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. [30] He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

Proverbs 16:27-30

Someone had sent me a report/podcast of Glenn Beck from The Blaze in late-September, sounding the alarm on how the economy was really to go through some pressure. -Gee, ya think so? Of course, I don’t need Beck to tell me the blatantly obvious. But, there are hundreds of thousands who follow The Blaze – who are locked into their politically-divided echo chambers, where they get seemingly all of their news from. Of course, these large outlets are not about telling the whole and complete truth. Rather, they just keep people blind and comatose to reality, and only talk about things that they want to push while keeping their “market share” in tact. In the case of The Blaze, it is a daily dose of waffling on and on about (by and large) how stupid liberals are. And of course, the same can be said on the other side of the coin for so many outlets as well.

My point is, these outlets never actually cover the real facts of what is going on. They want to control and bewitch you into believing some kind of twisted narrative.

The function of propaganda is, for example, not to weigh and ponder the rights of different people, but exclusively to emphasize the one right which it has set out to argue for. Its task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.

Mein Kampf

But I mention The Blaze because it’s not like they are some sort of economic outlet, nor do they really ever talk about it begin with. So when they began to push that narrative, I began to realize the media was prepping people to go out and panic buy again. It was already happening (as noted in other WinePress reports), but a whole new surge of it, only furthering the supply chain demand issues.

And so now, the media on both sides of the coin are freaking people out.

Remember when this Covid shamdemic really kicked into high gear in March of 2020? Do you remember what they were showing us on the news outlets? It was all the same clips of these elderly and obese patients being carted off to a hospital in agony. And from that, the masses were led to believe it was this horrible thing, as you could see the utter panic in people’s eyes when you went out shopping. But on top of that, they were telling us the hospitals were going to be jammed. It never happened. Reports quickly came in online of people filming empty hospitals and doctor’s offices.

The media created total panic. And that, of course, was just one aspect of it.

But I mention that because it is the same thing they are doing now. By now, I am sure you are seeing pictures plastered all over mainstream media of these empty and barren shelves. Is that true? Sure, but you see, just like with the Covid hospital panic, just a handful of pictures is now triggering more (not all) of the masses to go out and strip the stores of toilet paper, cheap canned goods, flash frozen items, poison pop, potato chips, taco kits, spaghetti, Ramen, and so on.

And again, is this true in many places in America, or Canada, the U.K., Australia, and so on. Absolutely, and I had warned it was happening many months ago before mainstream media made it is this “pressing” issue, as they are now. My point is, the already strained system is now getting pushed even harder. Still, the large bulk of American society has absolutely no idea what is going on, but more and more are starting to get driven into doing stupid purchases – purchases that they would have never made UNLESS THE MEDIA TOLD THEM TO DO SO!

You get my point?

And it doesn’t help when you get people like Peter Schiff who gets on Fox News and emphatically telling the hundreds of thousands in the viewing audience to “Buy Now!”

Gee, thanks Schiff… you just freaked out a bunch of people to go panic buy and make the problem worse! And I mention this because these are things I have been saying for a LONG time now (I’ll get into more of that later); but why is it only now that he and so many others are sounding the alarm on this, in tandem with the rest of the media? -Because the media is on another propaganda mission.

Furthermore, I saw this other day and I laughed out loud when I saw it: Al Roker and other hosts on NBC’s Today Show were telling people how to prepare an emergency go-bag! I’ll just be straight as a bullet: the people who watch the Today show are imbeciles who have no clue about any kind of reality. Now, I am not saying all the tips that were shown are bad, but it relates to a report I did not too long ago about these misconceptions and mindsets that will get preppers killed: and it’s this idea that people are just going to pack a little tiny bag of “survival goodies” (like picking your favorite Halloween candy from the basket) and bug-out when things get “bad,” and you’ll be safe. It’s insanity.

But you see, beyond the goofiness of it all, it adds into the fear panic, and planting seeds of fear into the broad masses’ minds.

I know I am a going on a tangent here, but I am trying to make a point, to which I will further elaborate upon as we go.

But as the supply chains and inflation continue to escalate out of control, the Press Secretary Jen Psaki was questioned by CNN’s Jake Tapper about these problems. The context of part of the interview was regarding White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain re-tweeting a post that said these inflation issues are “high class problems.”

Psaki doubled-down on this and just defaulted to blaming Covid:

Tapper: Inflation is skyrocketing. Doesn’t it seem tone deaf to say rising prices and empty grocery store shelves are ‘high class problems’? Isn’t that a bit dismissive?

Psaki: The fact is that the unemployment rate is half of what it was about a year ago. More people have jobs, more people are buying goods, that’s increasing demand. That’s a good thing. At the same time, we know supply is low because we’re coming out of the pandemic.

What people should know is inflation is going to come down next year, economists have said that, they’re all projecting that.

Tapper: Chief of Staff Ron Klain, back when he was a private citizen, went after the Trump White House for efforts to dismiss price rises. Why did Ron Klain think rising prices were a serious concern under Trump but not under Biden?

Psaki: I can tell you from sitting in meetings with Ron Klain, he is obsessed with lowering costs for the American people.

You know it’s utter bull crap when even Jake Tapper bites his lip when he hears this! Of course, Tapper does not press her on basic questions as to why the ports are jammed. But this is just how tone-deaf our so-called leadership is (they don’t a run hamster wheel let alone a country). I mean I don’t think I need to commentate on how asinine those statements were.

But what is even crazier is this: amongst all these undeniable problems in the economy, markets still keep hitting new record highs. We just hit an all-time new record yesterday! Of course, WinePress readers know why (the Feds who keep artificially dumping in trillions in “quantitative easing,” buying up the debt, and next to zero rates), but nearly this entire country has no clue as to why. The average person has now been conditioned by the media, and other political parasites like Trump and his swamp creature lackeys, pointing to fake a stock market that has no bearing on reality.

But regardless, the markets continue to ascend higher, as the real economy (the middle class) gets castrated in broad daylight. For more on this latest round of economic news, I suggest you watch Gregory Mannarino’s latest update.

A Recap Of The Warning Signs

Now, I am not here to whet my whistle and toot my own horn, but I need to make a point: because a lot of what I am seeing irritates me because this is stuff I have been warning on for how long? Try since day one.

And I bring this up because there are many of you that faithfully follow and support The WinePress, are aware of these issues; while there are others who still just do not seem to get the message. Now, I realize most people will pass by and be punished (Proverbs 22:3), but I also know there are readers who are still sucked into the mainstream media narratives.

Some of you may have noticed I have been backing off on the economic reports. Why? Well, to be candid, many people are not reading them. I realize it’s dreary news, but it tis what it is. Especially, one of the last reports I did about the abysmal economic news going on in America got almost no views. Now, I can interpret that data many different ways, but I perceive there are those who are not paying attention to what’s going and is purposefully ignoring reality. This does not apply to everyone, but in light of all this panic buying going on, I had a bit of a “hunch” that some (or perhaps many) were out panic buying because of the media fear.

I know there will be those that are not understanding the underlying message I am trying to convey, the love and charity I have for people, and try and say I am just some pompous jerk, or something. Those people can think what they wish. As explained in others reports and backed up by the scriptures, the Lord has put me in the current position as a watchman: to warn brethren (and even those who are not born again) of what I see and what is coming.

I most certainly do not know everything, nor am I always right, but I can give God the glory that he bestowed upon me for the many spiritual gifts and perception he’s given me, especially for someone my age in the flesh (and even spiritually for that matter). I have been blowing the trumpet on this fake and dead economy for some time, along with the fears of inflation.

The WinePress officially went public on December 27th, 2020, and some of the first reports I posted was debunking this silly nonsense that America was in a boom and in the midst of a “v-shaped” recovery. On top of that, I reported on general trends for this year socially and economically, and they again warned that this year would not see improvement, but the opposite.

Since then, I continually sounded off what was going on in the real economy and dismantling the narrative that everything was just wonderful.

In early-May I explained in a very succinct way how the economy was broken beyond repair, just by looking at very basic ecomonic metrics that the media, politicians, economists, and schools do not want you to know. I will not get into all the details here, but the simple metrics are money velocity (the rate of which cash moves through an economy), and money supply – of which the Feds are printing trillions of dollars out of thin-air. So when you have more money in supply but it continually moves less and less, that moves the economy is dead and is hyper-inflationary; as those dollars start to follow the same amount of existing goods. Well, factor in worker and supply shortages, and the system begins to undergo even more tension – leading to the only option being to create more money! It’s that simple, and yet the Fed’s, Treasurer Yellen, and the media were all telling us it was “transitory.” HOW!? -You’re printing epic sums of money out of thin-air!

But of course, I have also called that bluff on that “transitory” garbage. But amidst these continued warnings on the rapidly collapsing economy, supply chains, and inflation, and so on; I continually warned to start buying up then, long before the zombies make a run on the stores. I said in that above report to take some basic steps to prepare, which were, to pay off debts, get in better physical condition, buy up ammo, live below your means, try to get out of congested areas and cities, and to “Have some additional food, water, clothing, ways to generate heat, cold, and so on. Be your own bank. Be your own grocery store.”

My point is, I have been warning about this for some time. And even before that report I was warning people it was not transitory and the economy was not getting remotely better. I even gave a bit of a prelude to that above report back in late-March, and an “epilogue” as to how the Fed’s are keeping the markets propped and the housing market hot. And even MORE of their money printing escapades in the beginning of July, along with other economic factors.

On January 23rd I remoted on the rise of core goods, and I said “I suggest seriously bulking up on raw ingredients and assets to prepare for the long haul, cause the dollar is going to crater SOON.” The same day I also reported on the rising gas prices then, and I said “It perhaps would be a wise decision to start stocking up on some gas reserves before prices get insane. I know I might consider doing that.” I did. Did you? And I warned on it again in May when the southern gas lines had a “cyber attack.” Moreover, have you been paying attention what is happening in the U.K., and elsewhere? This is why I said to buy up on some fuel back then.

On April 10th I warned of ammo inflation and shortages, and I said “I would recommend buying up on ammo if you have the means to do so. Even if supply chains finally start to level out, demand will still be high as inflation goes higher.” I warned on it again in August.

There have been plenty of examples, such as when I was warning about fast food inflation in March, tea inflation in June, milk inflation a couple days after.

In a little more recent times, I mentioned at the end of August that definite signs of the shelves going bare were real, and were picking up from where they were before. Even Kamala Harris, Vice-President of nothing, was telling people to buy up their Christmas presents then. What did she know that we don’t? A few days later I noted that toilet paper was once again picked clean (because we all know Charmin will save and protect these people). To which I said, “But seeing how absolutely nonsensical the people are anymore (and have been), expect these numbers and supply chain issues to go to the moon when the die-off starts to really kick in and lockdowns are reinstated.”

The last real warning on inflammation citing statements from Mannarino, which came at the end of September, a few weeks prior to the news hysteria.

My point is, I have been sounding off on this for quite some time.

And as for these supply chain problems, I’ve cited data that plainly shows that problems are totally deliberate and artificial. Even a Fed President openly admitted that the economic shutdown was PLANNED back in March of 2020.

Now as I said in the offset of this, I am not here to too my own horn and show off “just how right I was.” That’s not it at all. My point is to note just how the media is purposefully behind the curve, but also to make sure the people who find this report are awake. I know many faithful readers are awake and have been taking steps to better their situation. But, I know there are people that just don’t seem to get the message. A lot of those types are high-minded, they are proud, they are asleep, they are idle and slothful – and have no idea what is coming to a town near them very soon. Observe these scriptures:

[20] Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: [21] For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. [22] Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Romans 11:20-22

The context here is referring to how the nation of Israel was grafted out of the olive tree for their unbelief and rejection of Jesus Christ. The Gentiles (who mostly comprise the body of Christ, the church) have been graft in. But what happens is, if that wild olive tree branches (the church) begins to fax fat and boast (become high-minded because ‘I’m part of the church, God wouldn’t punish me.’), the Lord is telling us to fear that mindset, because it will lead to our own destruction. And what he is saying is he will destroy the church for their arrogance and wickedness. If they get too cozy with God’s goodness (which the body of Christ HAS), then the Lord will graft out that wild olive branch, and re-graft the original branches back in (the Jewish nation); as the chapter continues to explain, which starts with – as the saying goes – the Gentiles are “come to the full” (vs.25), the Lord deals with the Jews again, which plays out in the book of Revelation, and othrt gospel accounts.

The point is, and this goes for all of us (including me), if we get high-minded, the Lord will not spare us. Go read books like Numbers or Lamentations for example.

But continuing…

[14] And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; [15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. [16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. [17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: [18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. [19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. [20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Revelation 3:14-20

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Proverbs 19:15

The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

Proverbs 22:13

[6] Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: [7] Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, [8] Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. [9] How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? [10] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: [11] So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

Proverbs 6:6-11

The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Proverbs 13:4

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

Proverbs 20:4

Reader, do not be slothful, do not be a sluggard. Moreover, I can guarantee you myself, and others like Bryan Denlinger, are going to getting emails this winter from people who did jack-diddly squat to prepare. And I will have to turn those people away. You reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7-9), and if do nothing, you will reap that nothing.

So, this is why I recapped these facts to you earlier. I am trying to warn you. I am not always right, but I do the best that I can. I am just the messenger relaying what I see and what I think. What you do about it is between you and the Lord.

This leads into my next point:

MRE’s Are Sold Out, But Are They Worth It?

Amidst all this panic buying, one thing that has been just flying off the shelves and online are MREs (Meals Ready to Eat). These are those bags or buckets of powders that are marketed as the best things for preppers to have when the getting food at the grocery store is not applicable. They are better known for being used in the military.

One of the large producers of the more domestic and civilian-based kind is a company called Augason Farms. The company was so overloaded they completely ran out of everything, and released an official statement, explaining that they have taken down their website for 90 days, as they look to restock their raw materials, and to help improve shipping for the future.

But are these bags of insta-meals and Jim Bakker floatable buckets worth it? (And Bakker sells Augason Foods’ MRE buckets by the way).

The short answer is an emphatic NO. Now I know there are people who will get all bent out of shape when I say that, but do your own research. These things are HORRIBLE for your health. The amount of preservatives in them are ridiculous – which, overtime, the preservatives will breakdown what little “food” is left in the bags and buckets. Moreover, the damage they will do to your gut and other organs are terrible.

This video below summarizes it:

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Jeremiah 6:16

I encourage people to look backwards, and learn what people used to do for thousands of years as daily life. MRE’s did not exist. It will not be perfect obviously, but the closer to the ancient ways, the better.

So what should you eat and store instead?

Going back to December of 2020, one of the first reports I did was on raw ingredients to store and stock up on. You can read that report for more info, but this list included:

• Flour
• Oats
• Rice
• Sugar
• Beans
• Corn
• Salt
• Powdered Milk
• Pasta
• Potato Flakes

And to add to this list, HONEY is another healthy, fairly cheap, and SUPER long-lasting food that will add energy and boost immunity. Make sure it is raw, unfiltered, and as close as to your area as you can get it – as it will add to the immunity benefits.

Nuts and seeds are good too, but the nuts can be expensive depending on type and quality.

I also think things like some oils, such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Coconut, Avocado, Sunflower, and other, oils are good. Again, decent shelf life and they are healthy. Make sure they are USDA Organic and unrefined. This also includes your animal fats, like tallow, ghee, or bacon grease.

In terms of powders, do not waste time on harmful MREs, but get powders that are from dehydrated sources, so that the nutrients are mostly if not all preserved. There are different places you can look for that, but I like this one.

Do not also neglect condiments and spices. For example, if you go to Sam’s Club and go to the seasonings aisle, there are tons of USDA Organic spices that are GREAT for your health, and are cheap. These are things like: Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Turmeric, Cayenne, Garlic, Onion, Sea and Pink Himalayan Salt, and some others. Obviously those are not “meals,” but great additives to them. Or you can look up veggie or gelatin capsules, and pack them full and take them like a supplement.

Other things include sprouting. SUPER easy, healthy, and cheap.

In terms of meats, if you are not hunting or fishing, you can find freeze-died meats out there. Be careful of all the canned stuff or jerkies, as they are loaded full preservatives and chemicals. There are foods out there that have good clean meals that have USDA Organic certification, meant to be similar to MREs. Here is an example of that.

Furthermore, you can go to the store and buy truly organic meats, cook them, and then dehydrate them, and make them into a jerky, or crush it up and turn it into what’s called Pemmican, which is VERY healthy and long-lasting.

And also, I think people getting into the habit of fasting is a great idea. It costs no money and is super beneficial.

New Study Reveals Intermittent Fasting May Help Protect Older Adults From Injury And Hospitalization

Conclusion

My whole point with this report is to make sure you are awake and can see what is happening. Do not be like the sheeple.

If, for whatever reason, you have not done something about your situation, then listen good:

I believe this is the last real time you will have before things just get out of hand. If you thought panic buying was bad now, you have not seen anything yet. DO IT NOW before it is too late. “Go to the ant, though sluggard!”

I must also say this, too: unlike the lost world, those that are truly born-again can fear the Lord and not man. I say it all the time: he can and will provide, and you must have faith in him. But do not get high-minded and Laodicean and use that as an alibi to be slothful.

I hope I got some of you thinking today.

[5] Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. [6] So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Hebrews 13:5-6
