The United States, Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia, North Korea, China, Myanmar and Cuba all allow or have allowed indefinite detention of its citizens. That’s right, I included the United States in that list.

With the passage and signing of the National Defense Authorization Act, the United States now allows indefinite detention of American citizens. Even though the current administration says it won’t do that. Oh really? All we have to do is look a history and we can see that has not been the case.

Not Hitler, not the Communist Soviet Union, not Hitler’s Germany, not China, not North Korea, not Myanmar, not even Cuba had the bravado to put down their indefinite detention policy on paper and sign it into law. They just did it. But not here in the United States. We are the ones that “just want to be safe from terrorists”, even it costs us every last freedom we’ve got.

People don’t even seem to be minding the pervasive mission creep of the Department of Homeland Security into every aspect of our lives. A of people say:

I bring these things up because you need to see that this is not America anymore. We still have the illusion of America, but the principles that this country was founded on are quickly being lost. The beacon of liberty that has always been the United States is about to go out.

I suggest that you make emergency preparations for your family. Make an emergency preparedness plan and start implementing it. Store some food and water. If you are worried about what the neighbors will say, then keep your mouth shut. You only open yourself up to ridicule when you tell everyone what you are doing. Learn how to keep a secret.

Do it now while you still have time.

If you think your family can’t survive a food shortage, then please continue reading.

Natural disasters are increasing both in frequency and intensity. It is crucial to consider all the types of disasters and their locations when you are putting together an emergency preparedness plan.

The graph below shows the number of disasters drastically increasing over the last half century. In 2010, there were over 900 major disasters worldwide. And global disasters will probably over 1000 for 2011.

The following map shows the US counties that declared natural disasters through September 30, 2011. Notice that it’s practically the entire US.

Now, you have seen that natural disasters are increasing and you are thinking about forming an emergency preparedness plan. When it comes to emergency food, what type should you store?

The best solution for long term emergency food storage is a supply of nutritious, good tasting Freeze Dried Food. Freeze Dried foods rehydrate faster than any other type of foods, and they require little or no cooking and save valuable fuel and water.

Freeze Dried Foods store longer, are nutritiously superior to other types, and taste better than any other food available for long term food storage. In addition, freeze dried foods typically have a storage life of decades, 25 years plus! Actually, they gave been proven by government testing to store with a high degree of nutritional value for over 30 years. Imagine that.

Freeze Dried foods can be used as an emergency food supply for any major disaster or emergency, whether natural or man-made. These foods are enjoyed by leaders at the highest levels of government, Congress, the Cabinet and above, senior members of the U.S. Military, and the astronauts.

This is not the same as your father’s and grandfather’s old dried stuff from WWII, Korea or even Vietnam. There have been considerable advances in food preservation technology since the 1960s. Freeze Dried Food is comparable to or superior to the best fresh frozen foods, but without the need for refrigeration or rotation.

Freeze Dried Survival Food is your best choice.

Every day the world population grows. When it comes to feeding all those people, a common idea is to just grow more food. However, it is not as easy as that. Now, I do not agree with the idea that there are too many people in the world. However, there are tremendous pressures being put on the world’s food supply.

Growing more food sounds like a good idea, but industrial farming over the last 40 years hasn’t proved that to be the case. Yes, advances in agriculture have increased crop yields per acre. But, those greater yields are offset by the fact that farmland is being lost in the United States at an ever-increasing rate.

On average, we lose one acre of U.S. farmland every minute. Most of this loss is due to the conversion of land from farms to industrial and residential uses. Between 2002 and 2007, 4,080,300 acres of farmland were converted for development. This is roughly the area of Massachusetts and is just part of a long-term trend.

Over the past 25 years, every state in the country has suffered a net loss of farmland. The biggest losers are Texas (1.5 million acres), Ohio (796,000 acres), North Carolina (766,000 acres), California
(616,000 acres), and Georgia (566,000 acres).

We could use more land for food, but we are also going to need more land for everything. Right now, industrial and residential development is winning out. Remember those 219,000 new people coming over for dinner tomorrow? And the next day? And the next day? Demands for land use is coming from every area, not just from the farmers. The pressures on land management will increase to a level never seen before.

The average American eats approximately 2,000 pounds of food per year. With all things considered, having an emergency food supply just makes sense.

          Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer
          or ruler, yet it stores its provision in summer and gathers its food at harvest (Proverbs 6:6-8)

A recent survey revealed the number one catastrophic event that Americans worry about the most.

Many are deathly afraid of a major terrorist attack. Others live in constant fear of natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes and hurricanes. Others are incredibly concerned that a massive pandemic will break out or that World War III will erupt in the Middle East. There are certainly a lot of potential catastrophic events that one can worry about. But the number one catastrophic event that Americans worry about is economic collapse. That’s what a recent survey found that was conducted by Leiflin Inc. for the EcoHealth Alliance.

Again and again, opinion polls have found that the number one issue American voters are concerned about is the economy. The truth is that average Americans are deeply, deeply concerned about unemployment, debt, the housing crash and the steady decline in the standard of living. And why not? It has been many years since the U.S. economy has operated at a normal level.

Here are the results of the survey. Remember that the people were asked about what they feared the most:

• Economic Collapse: 63%
• Natural Disaster: 46%
• Terrorist Attack: 44%
• Global Disease Outbreak: 33%
• Global War: 27%
• Nuclear Accident: 25%
• Global Warming: 22%
• Fuel Shortage: 15%
• Cyber War: 8%
• Famine: 8%
• Oil Spill: 6%
• Industrial Accident: 5%

As you can tell from the result, economic collapse was the winner by a large margin.

So are there good reasons for the American people to be concerned about an economic collapse?

Of course there are. Right now, we are seeing the financial world come apart in slow motion. But because these stocks have declined over the course of a year, and not on a single day, it doesn’t feel like a collapse to most people.

Unfortunately, things are about to get a whole lot worse. Global credit markets are really freezing up – especially in Europe.

Considering the fact that the entire global financial system is based on credit and debt, that is a very bad thing.

Our system simply does not work when banks do not want to lend money to each other or to businesses.

If you want to see what happens when a collapse happens and a depression begins, just look at what is happening now in Greece….

• The number of suicides has increased by 40 percent in the past year.
• About a third of the nation is now living in poverty.
• Thefts and burglaries nearly doubled between 2007 and 2009.
• 100,000 businesses have been closed since the beginning of the crisis.
• The unemployment rate for those under the age of 24 is 39 percent.
• Hundreds of families are abandoning their children. Some are taking them to charitable institutions and others are handing them directly over to the government.

Does that seem shocking to you? Well, all of this is coming to America eventually.

Someday we will see American parents abandoning their children because they cannot take care of them anymore.

Someday we will see suicides skyrocket in America because people have lost all hope.

Someday we will see thefts and burglaries soar to unprecedented heights as millions of desperate people attempt to try to find some way to survive.

It is all coming.

Prepare while you still can.

First of all, you must understand this:

Reasons to Buy a Freeze Dried Food Supply

Emergency Food manufacturers buy raw ingredients by the truckload. It is the same type of food that you can buy in the grocery stores. They get it from the same suppliers. You may be disappointed knowing that, but consider why a person buys an emergency food supply. They buy it as insurance in case there is an major disaster or emergency that would limit or block their access to food in the stores.

They also realize that in a major disaster, the government is not going to be able to take care of them. If you don’t know that, you should. The Department of Homeland Security has advised everyone to have a minimum of 3 days worth of food and water. And some of their publications advise having a minimum of two weeks of food and water. In my opinion, a one month supply is the absolute minimum.

Now that we understand why we would buy freeze dried food and where the raw ingredients come from, let’s take a look at how it is made.

How Freeze Dried Food is Made

Freeze-drying has several advantages over other food preservation methods. Freeze drying is actually a three step process. It takes the three steps to freeze-dry the food, and a fourth step to reconstitute it just before it is eaten.

Let’s look at the advantages of freeze drying over other food preparation methods. This will explain why freeze dried food is particularly well-suited for long term food storage programs.

Frozen foods retain fresh flavor and nutritional value, but require uniform, low temperature storage conditions, and that takes energy. Dehydrated and canned foods are shelf-stable, but high-temperature processing can degrade flavor, texture and nutritional content. Freeze-drying combines the best of these processing methods. It preserves freshness, color and aroma similar to frozen food, while providing the shelf-stable convenience of canned and dehydrated food.

The freeze drying process of different foods varies with temperature, time, pressure, and other intermediate steps. Foods are first tested for bacterial counts. Next, the food may be cut into smaller pieces, depending on its original size. For example, thick meats do not freeze dry very well, so they must be cut into smaller chunks before freeze drying.

Meat and seafood are then cooked before freeze drying. Fruits and vegetables are washed first. Some vegetables such as peas and corn have to be blanched.

The food is then placed on trays, the trays are placed in carts, and the carts are wheeled into cold rooms where the temperature can be as low as -40 degrees F. This causes the food to be frozen very quickly.

Next, the carts are moved from the cold room into the vacuum drying chamber. The drying stage involves a process known as sublimation. Sublimation is where a solid material is forced to change state into a gaseous state without ever becoming a liquid. The process is started by removing the air with a vacuum pump. The temperature is then raised to about 100 degrees F.

Since the pressure in the chamber is below the point where water can simultaneously exist as a solid, liquid, and gaseous state (called the triple point), the heat causes the ice crystals to change into water vapor. The vapor is then drawn off from the chamber, leaving only the food.

At this point, the dried food is filled with tiny voids, similar to a sponge. These voids are where the ice crystals were once present. This makes the food easier to absorb water when it is prepared for eating.

The dried food is then tested for moisture content and purity. Some foods may be ground into small pieces or even into a powder. Different ingredients are then blended together and the resulting food is packaged in airtight containers to prevent them from absorbing moisture from the air.

Freeze-dried foods have several advantages over other types of food for long term storage. They retain virtually all their fresh food taste and nutritional content. They maintain their original shape and texture, unlike dehydrated foods which shrink and shrivel due to high temperature processing. They weigh less than fresh food and take much less storage space. Finally, they stay fresh and can be stored at room temperature in their original packaging.

The price of basic purchases, such as food and fuel, have soared 43 per cent in the last decade. Ordinary families have been crippled by the skyrocketing cost of essential goods over the past ten years, a report has found.

These rising costs – far above general inflation – have already wiped out most of the gains in living standards made by families on low and modest incomes in the early 2000s, before the downturn began, according to research.

The analysis, which was commissioned by the Resolution Foundation think-tank, revealed the squeeze on living standards for ordinary households has been more severe than previously thought.

It found 30 per cent of working-age households now have incomes that are too low to afford the essential basket of goods.

According to the think tank’s boss, Britain is ‘in danger of drifting back into recession in 2012′. The report also showed that Labour’s stewardship of the economy may not have benefited ordinary families as much as the party had claimed.

Some household costs increased even more dramatically than the 43 per cent average, according to the study.

Household fuel has more than doubled in price during the 2000s and water bills have increased by 63 per cent, the report said.

Report author Donald Hirsch, from the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University, said: ‘This research shows the dramatic impact recent price increases have had on the ability of households to afford a minimum standard of living.

‘Of course, global pressures on prices are largely beyond our control.

‘But that makes it all the more important that we do all we can to reduce pressures in areas where we can make a difference, such as transport costs, council tax and energy prices.’

The analysis is based on the commonly accepted essential basket of goods, which includes food, fuel, public transport and very occasional treats for families with children. Fuel prices have more than doubled in the last decade

The official inflation measure, the Consumer Price Index, takes into account a wider basket of goods. Over the decade to 2010, CPI was 27 per cent.

Meanwhile, it has emerged that demand for frozen meals has rocketed among cash-strapped Britons desperate to cut their grocery bills and produce popular family meals for less.

The latest market data has revealed that the frozen food retail market has grown by 5.2 per cent since 2010. Volume sales of frozen meat and poultry are up 5.5 per cent, pizza by 3.6 per cent and frozen fish by 3.4 per cent.

Brian Young, director general of the British Frozen Food Federation, told The Grocer magazine: ‘In times of economic uncertainty choosing frozen meat and poultry allows consumers to make their favorite meals and foods at a much lower price point.’
