Episode-222- Food Storage, Famland and New Currencies

Posted on June 17, 2009 by Modern Survival| 6 Comments
Episode-222- Food Storage, Famland and New Currencies [ 36:45 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today is sort of a free wheeling show.  I discuss three main topics including money moving to buy farmland, the alliance of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) nations for a new currency and basic food storage for new survivalists

  • Getting Started with Emergency Food Storage – Starting with the philosophy of “store what you eat and eat what you store”.  Then we expand on building a basis with low cost long term storables from the supermarket.  From there into adding in true long term storage foods such as Mountain House, etc.
  • Next up is this BRIC Nations – Join me as I discuss the actions of Brazil, Russia, India and China as they plan for a new global currency basis.  I also analyze why this alliance makes sense and why we should be figuring out how to deal with the results because they are coming.
  • The final topic today is farmland investing – George Soros and Jim Rodgers are pumping money into buying farmland.  The meaning?  Food shortages are all but assured in the future.  However, I have a compelling case for why this investment COULD backfire if they don’t evaluate land management techniques if the play is designed for long term holding.

Episode-220- 9 Underrated Global Threats [ 51:03 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today we take a look at 9 underrated threats, I refer to them as underrated because they don’t really get discussed in main stream media or when they are discussed no deep understanding of them, their historical significance or their interconnected nature.

Today we discuss the following threats and what they might mean to use in the future.

  • China’s move to create a “big ten” and own the global automotive industry
  • Europe’s massive immigration problems
  • The effect of Monsanto and other agricultural giants imposing seed patents in third world nations
  • The fact that China and Russia have been buying up gold this year
  • China’s big move in buying up contracts on exports, natural resources, mining companies, manufacturing facilities and more
  • The depletion of global fossil aquifers
  • China’s move to basically own Africa and why they could very well pull it off
  • The global tax system based on the Global Warming Scam
  • How an economic recovery at the wrong time could long term be a huge threat to the US and Western Europe

Episode-19- Six More Reasons the United States Economy Faces Trouble [ 43:34 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

In this edition of The Survival Podcast we cover six things effecting the future of our economy that are not really being talked about. We also officially announced our Listener Appreciation Contest.

Today we discuss six major economic trials coming for the US and the world they include..

  • FAS 157 that take away some of the gray book keeping by US Banks and Insurance companies but still let Freddie Mac hide billions in losses.
  • The combined effect growing illegal immigrants and universal health care will place on an economy already 100 Trillion in the hole. Along with how this is just another attempt to institute a new form of class warfare.
  • The rise of China as a global capitalist force and what it may mean for us long term.
  • The fact that Gas in the US has hit a tipping point that the oil companies have recognized and pushed off additional costs to the airlines in the form of jack up pricing on Jet Aircraft Fuel and how that can only last so long.
  • The coming pull out of many investors and what that means to a market driven by investment.
  • The final nail of our coffin may end up being the return of “common sense economics” by the average American.

Remember to comment, make suggestions, etc. And please check out our Listener Appreciation Contest page and help us grow.
