My Bavarian German immigrant mother grew up under Naziism and then later Soviet Communism in East Germany. Her grandfather was gassed in Auschwitz for protesting Hitler in the town square. Near starvation and oppression drove she and her sisters to immigrate to then free and prosperous America. She now thinks life here is approaching what she experienced in Soviet East Germany.
For about five years while she and her six siblings lived under the Soviets, they were not allowed to grow their own food, relying instead on government rations and food lines, sometimes going days without eating, sometimes so malnourished they were too sickly to go to school. For several years she had protein malnutrition syndrome, expending more calories than she consumed, looking like those little African kids you see on TV very skinny but with big bellies.
Even today she eats every last morsel on her plate, thankful what God has given her. She always picks clean chicken bones to get every last strand of meat.
Friends, we are approaching what they experienced. What land you have access to, start planting and canning food. Now. Even under Nazi Germany during WW2, before the Soviets, she and her family relatively thrived on a large garden, raising a few pigs and chickens for eggs. Ironically, those were, as she describes, “our good years.”
Do you want to be under socialist rule to receive your ration of food via Walmart? Food distribution becoming effectively nationalized. To buy what you need (food) using digital dollars, requiring some kind of digital monitoring system on (or in) your body?
