This Fuckin Drought, man!

Dresden, do you always value things in relative terms?

You should care if it affects you. Food prices WILL go up because it's the corn crop bro; that will effect you unless you decide to live off of nothing but locally-grown fish and pineapples.

And I you don't live in HI all the time anyway... Do you have no plans to go back to big bear this year at all?

I blame the mexicans for food prices going up. Tens of millions are here illegally, and much more "legally". Demand needs to go down, we need to pick our own shit and all will be well. Until then, I hope it gets worse... I got a place in big bear, hawaii, palm springs and la. I only go to hawaii twice a year to checkup on things, but its only a plane ticket away when i see shit getting really bad.
 


You mean the island of Hawaii? Oahu is the main island and nobody here is on catchment and it doesn't rain very often on this island.

Correct, on the big island, 2 acers. Mostly water catchment. Yeah not many on oahu have this, that place looks like fucking la. Fuckers better not swim to my shit when shtf
 
That's it; see if I warn any of you about oncoming evil shit again.

If you can't be bothered to watch that video where that the river barges are almost not able to pass the river bottoms already, and put two and two together for yourself, then I don't even know why I'd want to hand any of you good advice on a silver plate like this.

Watched the video and the Army Corps doesn’t expect the river to become completely unnavigable this summer due in part to their dredging efforts.

It's definitely bad but it's certainly not evil enough to get that concerned.
 
Buddy of mine in NE Kansas sent me these photos taken a few weeks ago.

Says shit out there is worse than more recent years, but not as doom and gloom as you and the media make it out to be. But again, you live out there too and I know all of fuck about the corn industry. Just adding some pictures. Look at them.

About what it looks like here in Nebraska. I'll snap some pics later as ill be traveling. I was looking at it the other day about 10% die off.
 
LukeP you're starting to seriously lose it. Maybe you should talk to a psychologist about this?

You're going to lose all credibility once Romney wins the GOP nomination at the Republican National Convention. You already have plenty of skeptics.

I'm starting to lose it that the corn is all dead in the field next to me? What the fuck, do I need to take samples and send them to all you fuckers for you to believe me?

Christ.

Back up the truck...

1. Obomba is going to win by a LARGE landslide. It is NOT going to be close.

2. I've been saying that for a long time now. You must have only heard what you wanted to hear and thought I was proclaiming that Paul would definitely win. The truth is that Paul has no interest in winning, and shut down his campaign a long time ago despite a large surplus of campaign funds. :disgust:

The RNC later this month will be interesting because so many Paul fanatics are going to try to force him to become president, but Paul himself will continue to do everything within his power to squash that momentum. It's tragic, but such is life in america now.

And yes, I know my sig still says Paul 2012, but it's out of loyalty, not a freaking prognostication.
 
Alright, that's too much trolling. Boatburner, you are one post away from going on my ignore list.

FYI: Forecasting

But your pictures obviously trump NOAA and the dead corn outside my window so I guess I'd better just shut up now, right?
 
Im seriously not trying to troll you. You just make everything seem like a doomsday movie come true. Things dont work that way in the real world. Its not everything cool today and tomorrow you drive up to the gas station and cant buy any gasoline, so you walk to walmart and its out of stock. Mere minutes later, you see an angry mob roaming through your rural area pillaging and burning like its a middle ages viking invasion.

According to this dude, that's basically how it happened.
 
Hey luke, wasn't the dollar and the U.S supposed to collapse by now because some countries decided to stop selling oil in the U.S. dollar? Well they did it, and much time has passed, but we didn't go to war with them, and the dollar has increased in value relative to other nations currencies.
Here's the 1 year chart:

It may eventually go down but everything goes up and down. I wouldn't have mentioned it but that one thread of yours made it sound like you were 100% sure it was days away from total collapse.

But don't get me wrong. I like your posts and you have some of the most informative ones on the site. I also like reading conspiracy ideas and disaster stuff. That's why I've listened to Alex Jones on and off for a long time. But the thing about all conspiracy theorists is that they preach doom and gloom every single day.. saying it's completely imminent. But the more specific the prediction, the more they are completely fucking wrong after the date passes. Just like doomsday preachers and your local psychic.

I've seen it happen a million times with Jones. He makes 100 wrong predictions for every one he happens to get right. But when he gets something right oh you'll fucking hear about it for years. He'll basically consider himself a prophet. I'm saying all conspiracy theorists are like that. It's sad, and what's more sad is that people listen to them given their shitty record. It's exactly like doomsday preachers.

Not much has changed in 100 yrs man. Wallstreet and bankers have always been corrupt as shit. Politicians have always been corrupt as shit. Droughts come and go. Depressions come and go. Civilizations come and go but obviously the frequency is much much less. But if you have people out there every day of every year for centuries saying the government will collapse then one day someone will be right.. even if it's 300 yrs from now. Then I'm sure we'll put that idiot on a pedestal.

Just trying to say you should do more of your own research on shit before believing what some blogger or conspiracy theorist says. Someone says hyperinflation is imminent? Guess what, they've been saying that for decades. Go ahead and look at a real inflation graph and you'll see inflation has been amazingly low and steady for the past 10 yrs (about 2-4% a year). It's even more stable than it was when we had gold-backed currency. Reading people's opinions and blogs does jack shit.. you've got to look at real data and decide from that man.

1. This thread is about the Drought.

2. No one, not me, not my sources, said that the dollar would collapse/hyperinflate/inflate noticeably in 2012. As far as I can tell the groundwork has been laid by the BRICS in 2012 for the USD to hyperinflate at some point in the nearish future, likely within 4 years.

...Of course I wasn't even this specific before when I said that.


All of you guys jumping on my back in this thread really suck donkey dick, do you know that? I throw out evidence of bad things to come without even any prophetic dates attached and you guys immediately accuse me of jumping up on a soapbox and shouting "the end of the world is tomorrow at noon!"

I don't even watch Alex Jones... I've seen about a half dozen clips of his show when others here have linked to them, and the last one of those was like 3 months ago. His shouting & conspiratorial attitude is annoying as fuck.

For you guys to accuse me of being like that makes me want to puke... I don't shout, I don't give dates, I don't even say "This has a 100% chance of occurring" and I always quote my sources.


Just trying to say you should do more of your own research on shit before believing what some blogger or conspiracy theorist says.
What in the fucking fuck! Go look at my fucking OP. I started out by reporting FIRST-hand evidence (Local crops) and then by quoting MULTIPLE AUTHORITIES like NOAA.

I then proceeded to show you other angles on it like the reporting about the biggest river on the continent becoming impassible, which was video-reported on a mainstream media source while riding a barge down said river!

So there are no conspiracy theories here. Just actual testable facts... Far more responsible reporting than most others on WF ever bother to do!

:disgust::disgust::disgust:

I swear you fuckers are just trolling me... You can't really think I'm pulling an AJ here, can you?

Like I said, I like your posts, so no reason to get defensive. But people are mostly trolling cause it's fun and cause you're constantly posting conspiratorial/disasterish stuff.

My bad mentioning AJ and doomsday preachers, etc. You're not as bad as them of course. Just saying you don't want to end up like them constantly looking for stuff to worry about.

But I do remember that BRICS thread and there was a date you were expecting the dollar to collapse man.. it was the day that trading oil between those countries w/out the dollar started. The day came and went and is now long past and nothing happened.

It's just funny waiting to see what the next big thing will be. But you're right, you definitely are a better reporter than most WF posts. And you make lots of other awesome informative posts that have nothing to do with disasters, etc.
 
Luke y u no switch to Gary Johnson?
1. This thread is about the Drought. :p

2. I certainly wouldn't mind if GJ were to be our next president, but since I think that is equally as likely as if Dr. Paul were going to be our next president, I don't really see the point in "Switching."

Make no mistake, Jesus himself could run for POTUS in November and we'd still re-elect Obomba in a landslide.
 
droughts do come and go...but they do seem to be getting worse.

America better start acting like a business and work together instead of fighting against each other. China now rules manufacturing, soon - south america will rule the cash crops we once did.

YET we are still trying to ban the one thing that we're ABLE to grow: marijuana

fuck, someone help us
 
Awww, luke needs a hug.

But no, we all see there's a drought going on, but what exactly would you like us to do about it? Other than backing up a U-Haul to Walmart. Panicking isn't going to help anything.
