All this talk of global food shortages, rising heating bills, war and health problems has made me cast my mind back to people who fought and were prepared to die for us in years gone by.

Men and women who sacrficed with a shrug of the shoulders and a salute to the flag and headed off to FIGHT for freedom.

As Easter and ANZAC Day approach, I wonder how many today realise that how we live as a child will be where we come home to when we pass?

I was recently invited to speak to a student group about alcohol prohibition. During the course of my talk, I shared with them perhaps the most chilling historical account of America’s failed experiment to ban the sale of alcohol.

The Prohibition Era (1920 -1933), which began with the passage of the Volstead Act, had many problems. Virtually overnight, millions of Americans became criminals for the “crime” of having a drink. Instead of people trading money for a jug of beer or a bottle of gin, they had to make their own or turn to the black market. It resulted in a surge of organized crime and the rise of many of the most notorious gangsters in history, including Al Capone, Dutch Schultz, and Charles “Lucky” Luciano.

Over the centuries, we have learned so much about the strength of the human spirit. That incredible ability to triumph over adversity, whether it be physical, emotional or mental agony... or all three at once.

As Easter is uppermost in our thoughts, so too is the concept of war. That conflict that drives us to delve deep and draw upon reserves that we often did not know we had. 

Well, we now have it officially announced. The Australian Federal election is to be held on the 21st day of May. That means we will have to enure endless hours and weeks of political posturing so as to convince us that we should vote for the incumbent government or the coalition of Labor and the Greens.

Obviously, people like me will be voting for One Nation, UAP, Liberal Democrats - anyone but the raving bloody lunatic parties who are our current choices.

But sadly, the same people who line up to get their children vaccinated and are now seeing them fall ill with heart conditions, the same people who wear face nappies and are terrified of their own shadows should that shadow be infected with Covid; these are the people who will decide OUR future.

A very alarming global food shortage has already begun, and it is only going to get worse in the months ahead.  I realize that this is not good news, but I would encourage you to share the information in this article with everyone that you can.  People deserve to understand what is happening, and they deserve an opportunity to get prepared.  The pace at which things are changing around the globe right now is absolutely breathtaking, but most people assume that life will just continue to carry on as it normally does.  Unfortunately, the truth is that a very real planetary emergency is developing right in front of our eyes.  The following are 20 facts about the emerging global food shortage that should chill you to the core…
