MAKE SURE YOU’RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear
arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in
government.
Thomas Jefferson
"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no
matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear
arms ... The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against
arbitrary government, one more safeguard, against the tyranny which now
appears remote in America but which historically has proven to be always
possible."
-- Hubert H. Humphrey, Senator, Vice President, 22 October 1959
Please keep this going. With God's help, we CAN make a difference!
The 2010 Election Day ...
Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
1. They voted to not give you a S.S. cost of living raise in
2010 and 2011.
2. Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years
and you will not get the 3% COLA or $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and
costs $1,600 or $3,200 for husband and wife. Plain enough??????
3. Every member of Congress will get an added $10,000 which is
putting them very close to $ 200,000 per year. Sounds like an elite class
to us.
4. They vote themselves a raise and better benefits. They only
care about WE THE PEOPLE on election day, right? You never did anything
about it in the past. The time for action is near!!!!
5. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie,
Barnie, et al, care about you? SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED.
*** THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLITICAL PARTIES!
IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE ENTIRE SITTING CONGRESS, Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE.
The election in 2010 will be a sea-change to the mindset of
any member of Congress who may survive.
MAKE SURE YOU’RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND REMIND THE REPLACEMENTS
NOT TO SCREW UP LIKE THE GUYS THEY ARE REPLACING.
THIS IS A MUST DO!
It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you ARE finally
tired of this abuse.

Street Report from the G20 by Bill Quigley
From: PAPA JOHN
Date: 9/29/2009
Bill Quigley: Street Report from the G20
The G20 in Pittsburgh showed us how pitifully fearful our leaders have become. What no terrorist could do to us, our own leaders did.
Out of fear of the possibility of a terrorist attack, authorities militarize our towns, scare our people away, stop daily life and quash our constitutional rights.
For days, downtown Pittsburgh, home to the G20, was a turned into a militarized people-free ghost town. Sirens screamed day and night. Helicopters crisscrossed the skies. Gunboats sat in the rivers. The skies were defended by Air Force jets. Streets were barricaded by huge cement blocks and fencing. Bridges were closed with National Guard across the entrances. Public transportation was stopped downtown. Amtrak train service was suspended for days.
In many areas, there were armed police every 100 feet. Businesses closed. Schools closed. Tens of thousands were unable to work.
Four thousand police were on duty plus 2500 National Guard plus Coast Guard and Air Force and dozens of other security agencies. A thousand volunteers from other police forces were sworn in to help out.
Police were dressed in battle gear, bulky black ninja turtle outfits: helmets with clear visors, strapped on body armor, shin guards, big boots, batons, and long guns.
In addition to helicopters, the police had hundreds of cars and motorcycles , armored vehicles, monster trucks, small electric go-karts. There were even passenger vans screaming through town so stuffed with heavily armed ninja turtles that the side and rear doors remained open.
No terrorists showed up at the G20.
Since no terrorists showed up, those in charge of the heavily armed security forces chose to deploy their forces around those who were protesting.
Not everyone is delighted that 20 countries control 80% of the world’s resources. Several thousand of them chose to express their displeasure by protesting.
Unfortunately, the officials in charge thought that it was more important to create a militarized people-free zone around the G20 people than to allow freedom of speech, freedom of assembly or the freedom to protest.
It took a lawsuit by the Center for Constitutional Rights and the ACLU to get any major protest permitted anywhere near downtown Pittsburgh. Even then, the police “forgot” what was permitted and turned people away from areas of town. Hundreds of police also harassed a bus of people who were giving away free food — repeatedly detaining the bus and searching it and its passengers without warrants.
Then a group of young people decided that they did not need a permit to express their human and constitutional rights to freedom. They announced they were going to hold their own gathering at a city park and go down the deserted city streets to protest the G20. Maybe 200 of these young people were self-described anarchists, dressed in black, many with bandanas across their faces. The police warned everyone these people were very scary. My cab driver said the anarchist spokesperson looked like Harry Potter in a black hoodie. The anarchists were joined in the park by hundreds of other activists of all ages, ultimately one thousand strong, all insisting on exercising their right to protest.
This drove the authorities crazy.
Battle dressed ninja turtles showed up at the park and formed a line across one entrance. Helicopters buzzed overhead. Armored vehicles gathered.
The crowd surged out of the park and up a side street yelling, chanting, drumming, and holding signs. As they exited the park, everyone passed an ice cream truck that was playing “It’s a small world after all.” Indeed.
Any remaining doubts about the militarization of the police were dispelled shortly after the crowd left the park. A few blocks away the police unveiled their latest high tech anti-protestor toy. It was mounted on the back of a huge black truck. The Pittsburgh-Gazette described it as Long Range Acoustic Device designed to break up crowds with piercing noise. Similar devices have been used in Fallujah, Mosul and Basra Iraq. The police backed the truck up, told people not to go any further down the street and then blasted them with piercing noise.
The crowd then moved to other streets. Now they were being tracked by helicopters. The police repeatedly tried to block them from re-grouping ultimately firing tear gas into the crowd injuring hundreds including people in the residential neighborhood where the police decided to confront the marchers. I was treated to some of the tear gas myself and I found the Pittsburgh brand to be spiced with a hint of kelbasa. Fortunately, I was handed some paper towels soaked in apple cider vinegar which helped fight the tears and cough a bit. Who would have thought?
After the large group broke and ran from the tear gas, smaller groups went into commercial neighborhoods and broke glass at a bank and a couple of other businesses. The police chased and the glass breakers ran. And the police chased and the people ran. For a few hours.
By day the police were menacing, but at night they lost their cool. Around a park by the University of Pittsburgh the ninja turtles pushed and shoved and beat and arrested not just protestors but people passing by. One young woman reported she and her friend watched Grey’s Anatomy and were on their way back to their dorm when they were cornered by police. One was bruised by police baton and her friend was arrested. Police shot tear gas, pepper spray, smoke canisters, and rubber bullets. They pushed with big plastic shields and struck with batons.
The biggest march was Friday. Thousands of people from Pittsburgh and other places protested the G20. Since the court had ruled on this march, the police did not confront the marchers. Ninja turtled police showed up in formation sometimes and the helicopters hovered but no confrontations occurred.
Again Friday night, riot clad police fought with students outside of the University of Pittsburgh. To what end was just as unclear as the night before.
Ultimately about 200 were arrested, mostly in clashes with the police around the University.
The G20 leaders left by helicopter and limousine.
Pittsburgh now belongs again to the people of Pittsburgh. The cement barricades were removed, the fences were taken down, the bridges and roads were opened. The gunboats packed up and left. The police packed away their ninja turtle outfits and tear gas and rubber bullets. They don’t look like military commandos anymore. No more gunboats on the river. No more sirens all the time. No more armored vehicles and ear splitting machines used in Iraq. On Monday the businesses will open and kids will have to go back to school. Civil society has returned.
It is now probably even safe to exercise constitutional rights in Pittsburgh once again.
The USA really showed those terrorists didn’t we?

"Tell me what a Police State Looks Like" by Cindy Sheehan
by Cindy Sheehan
Thursday, September 24,2009
“Pittsburgh is what a police state looks like!”
I have been to dozens of protests, large and small, since my son was killed in Iraq, but I have never seen anything like today and the only term I can use is: Profound Overkill. There were easily two cops/soldiers for every one of us protesters…or maybe even 3 to 1.
About two thousand of us gathered in Arsenal Park in Pittsburgh to try and march downtown. We were all peaceful and had no weapons. We had only traveled a few blocks when cops dressed like they were in full combat with heavily armed opponents stopped us and blocked our way with a new weapon called “LRAD:” A new “crowd control” device. LRAD stands for: “Long Range Acoustical Device.” I was, unfortunately near it when the cops turned it on. It’s painful.
The group dispersed and went in many different directions. Some of us got to a corner a few blocks up from where we were initially stopped and I am not kidding, at least 500 cops were stopped in formation at this intersection with their gas masks on and nightsticks at the ready to crack the head of anyone who actually tried to peacefully cross their lines…unarmed, of course.
I spoke to dozens of cops today and tried to explain to them that we peaceful protesters are only trying to exercise our 1st Amendment rights and the cops should be protecting us, members of their own class, and not suppressing our freedoms and actually physically hurting us.
There was absolutely no reason for the over-reaction of the police state to the protesters today. Do not believe the news propaganda that says the protesters were the cause of the violence…it was the cops. The thugs even dropped tear gas from helicopters. We’re like ants trying to struggle against anteaters.
Seeing the National Guard troops, fresh from Iraq, broke my heart the hardest. I also talked to dozens of them, none had ever heard of posse commitatus, and asked them if my son, their brother, died in Iraq so they could steal the rights of his mother. Most of them wouldn’t even look at me. The cops and soldiers should be ashamed of themselves for allowing their selves to be used as tools of the Robber Class “elites.”
“Just following orders” is not a defense.
The G20 will announce tomorrow that they will become the new “permanent council” for international economic cooperation. Who the hell do they think they are? Who voted for this? Who gives them the authority to have this power over our wellbeing and our very lives?
We do, that’s who.
We allow the Robber Class complete, destructive control over our lives by not taking to the streets and outnumbering the thugs 10 to 1; 100 to 1; 1000 to 1
There’s so few of them and so many of us.
When we will learn?

Long-term food storage - Backwoods Home
by Jackie Clay
You’ve decided that you’re going to put at least a year’s worth of
food away for your family just in case. Great!
Everyone should do that. We store enough to feed friends, extended
family, and neighbors from time to time, as well. We could not turn
down anyone who came to us saying, “I’m hungry.” So I stock up more
than most people do.
Flours and grains
Man may not live by bread alone, but grains form the base for many
meals, especially during a period of hard times. With flours and whole
grains stored, you have the main ingredient for homemade pastas, breads, rolls, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, tortillas and other flat breads,
pie crusts, cookies, cakes, and more.
I store unbleached (who needs bleaching compounds in their diet?)
flour, at least 200 pounds, in 25-pound store bags, wrapped in plastic
bags and duct tape, in Rubbermaid garbage cans with locking lids in my
pantry. This will feed three of us, plus extra for friends and family, for
over a year, coupled with other flour products and whole grains.
You can add any specialty flours your family likes, such as rye, amaranth,
or Durham (for specialty pastas).
In addition to this flour, I like at least 100 pounds of hard wheat
(sometimes called “wheat berries”). As ground whole wheat goes rancid
fairly quickly, I like this wheat on hand to grind for all of my whole
wheat recipes. In addition, whole wheat grain will grow when planted,
making wheat growing on a fairly small plot possible to restock my supply. As little as a 50x50-foot plot will grow enough wheat for a
small family’s needs.
I also stock about 20 pounds of cornmeal, 20 pounds of masa harina
de maize (corn flour) which I use to make tamales and corn tortillas,
along with 25 pounds of popcorn (grinds nicely for cornmeal, as well
as popping for treats), and 25 pounds of hominy corn (makes hominy
and also masa harina de maize).
Rice, both brown and white, fits nicely in our storage pantry. We also
store about 25 pounds of a combination of white and brown rice with a
few pounds of wild rice mixed in.
And don’t forget rolled oats. They are much more versatile than just
using them for oatmeal. I include them in several multi-grain breads,
breakfast cake, bars, meat loaf, granola, and cookies. And as for oatmeal,
we like it cooked up with peaches, strawberries, and apples with
cinnamon for a treat.
Any grains that are ground, especially cornmeal, masa harina de
maize, and whole wheat, will get rancid quicker than do whole grains,
which usually stay good for many years. Even so, flours (except whole
wheat flour) will stay perfectly good for five years or more if kept dry
and stored in airtight and bug- and rodent-proof containers.
I buy my white flour, cornmeal, etc. on sale at local supermarkets,
usually just before Thanksgiving, as it is cheaper then. Otherwise, I pick it up at Sam’s Club or other restaurant supply houses.
I pick up whole grains from local grain farmers. Sometimes the wheat needs a bit more cleaning if dusty, but a few pours from one basket
to another on a windy day ensures very clean wheat. (And my wheat
is not treated with toxic fumigants in storage bins before being ground
into flour, as is most wheat sold to flour mills.)
When buying flour to store, be absolutely sure the bags are completely
sealed, with no flour leaking out, to prevent flour weevil problems.
In areas where there is a weevil problem (webs and “bugs” in unsealed
cornmeal and flour), some folks freeze each bag of flour for several
days before wrapping and storing it in completely bug-proof containers.
I have not done this, but I am exceptionally careful not to store any flour
products that were not very well sealed from the processing plant, and
I keep them in insect-proof containers. Remember that these moths are
very small and squeeze through very tiny openings.
It is not necessary to buy flours and grains from long-term storage
companies unless you fear flooding. In this case, sealed tins or buckets
of flours would be a good idea. I’ve had plain white flour stored for over
five years, which is just as good today as it was when I bought it.
Beans and other legumes
When one thinks of long-term storage, usually dried beans come first
to mind. I guess this is because they remain good for so long, are nutritious, and taste pretty darned good to boot. But, for heaven’s sake, don’t just buy a hundred pounds of navy beans and say you’re all set for whatever may come your way. All beans do not taste the same. There’s a big,
big difference between a large white lima and a Jacob’s cattle bean, for
instance. Some taste nutty, some bland. Some cook up quickly, some
require hours of cooking. Some remain firm after cooking, others get
mushy and soft. Experiment with a wide variety of beans before committing
to a choice.
We store about 50 pounds of combined legumes, which include pintos,
Cherokee mixed cornfield beans, Jacob’s cattle, Hopi black bush,
navies, red kidney, and a dozen old Native American varieties, along
with lentils, soup peas, black-eyed peas, and garbanzos.
Beans are a great protein source and combine well in many different
dishes. Refried beans, fried dry pea patties, stews, soups, chiles, baked
beans, and casseroles are just a few uses for these versatile legumes.
You can buy your beans in local markets, health food stores, and coops,
or you can do like we do, and grow your own.
All beans store a long, long time in an airtight and bug and rodentproof
container. I keep mine in gallon glass jars and in decorative popcorn
tins, right on handy shelves in the kitchen. While old beans do take
longer to cook up tender, they last indefinitely; I’ve grown beans from
500-year-old seeds. And if you can grow plants from seed, you can certainly
eat them.
Dried pasta
While I make a lot of homemade pasta, I still keep quite a bit in our
storage pantry. When you’re busy with a survival situation, you may not
have time to make pasta. So I’ve put away 10 pounds of long spaghetti,
10 pounds of lasagna noodles, 10 pounds of wide egg noodles, 5
pounds of alphabet macaroni, 15 pounds of elbow macaroni, and a few
pounds of assorted pasta noodles.
This dry pasta keeps indefinitely when stored in a dry, bug and rodentproof
container. As with my beans and other legumes, I use decorative
popcorn tins and gallon glass jars.
Sugar and honey
You will probably agree with me that we all eat too much sugar. And
although honey is natural and better for us than refined sugar, it’s still
sugar. But in bad times, we usually feel better with “treats” from time
to time. And these treats often include sugar. Also, much fruit is home
canned with a sugar syrup, and if you’re going to can to keep your
pantry from running out in bad times, you’ll need quite a bit for fruits,
pickles, jams, jellies, preserves, etc.
Although my husband Bob is a diabetic, we do include sugar in our
storage pantry. I keep a 25-pound sack in a plastic garbage can, along with assorted other dry foods. Much of this sugar is used in canning and
desserts for my son, David, and myself. Bob needs a sugar substitute.
Sugar stores indefinitely if kept dry. If it should get damp and harden,
you can still save it. Beat the bag with a hammer, being careful not to
split the sack. (I would put the paper bag in a heavy plastic bag, just in
case.) Soon the hard lump will be many smaller ones, easy to crumble
with your hand.
Honey is a good long-term storage bet. I keep two gallons of honey,
stored in quart jars. Honey may crystallize if it gets too cool, but it is
still good and will re-liquify if warmed up by sitting the jar in a
saucepan of boiling water. Raw honey only needs to be put into quart
or larger jars and sealed. I have 15-year-old honey that’s still great. (In
case you’re wondering, I try to keep a little of each food for a long, long
time, to see just how long it will remain good. I do rotate my long-term
storage food, using the oldest and replacing it with newer food in an
ongoing process.)
Besides these two sweeteners, I keep 10 pounds of brown sugar and 5
pounds of powdered sugar, stored in the bag they come in until I’m
ready to use them. These bags are stored in the plastic garbage can,
along with the white sugar and much more. The only problem I’ve had
regularly with brown sugar is hardening in the bag. I’ve cured this by
breaking the sugar into chunks, dropping them into a gallon glass jar
and adding a piece of paper towel, dampened with water. Close the jar
and in a few days the sugar will be soft again.
Miscellaneous dry goods
Powdered egg is a handy dry food to keep on the pantry shelves. The
modern powdered egg is much better than the old “green eggs” of military
service days. Not only is it great in cooking, but it tastes pretty
good too. I keep three #10 cans, which hold almost a gallon, on my
pantry shelves.
Powdered margarine and butter are another “must have” for most
families. These are reconstituted with either water or vegetable oil, with the oil tasting much better. I keep three of each, even though we have a
cow and goats. One never knows when they may be dry and you need
butter.
Powdered cheese is a great product that stores easily. I use it in macaroni
and cheese, on popcorn, in potatoes au gratin, casseroles, and
more. I keep about 10 pounds of a powdered cheese sauce that I buy
from a local restaurant supply house quite inexpensively.
Dry yeast is a definite must in a long-term storage pantry, as well as
in everyday use. I buy mine in 1-pound vacuum packed aluminum foil
bags. Unopened and frozen, they last indefinitely. Unopened and on the
shelf, they’ll last for a couple of years. Opened and on the shelf, dry
yeast is active for about a year or a little more. I keep an unopened bag
in my propane fridge’s freezer, figuring that if an emergency situation
occurs, causing us to have to do without the fridge, my yeast will still
be good for better than a year. I have another one on the shelf that I use
every day.
Baking soda is also a necessary baking leavening agent, also useful
for an antacid, deodorant, cleaner, and more. It keeps on the shelf forever. I keep 5 pounds.
Baking powder is hard to do without. You’ll need it for quick breads,
such as corn bread and biscuits, which are very important in emergencies
because you can eat well and spend only minutes in baking. It
keeps well for years without losing its leavening ability. I keep two
large tins, one to use and one to store.
Salt is needed, not only to improve the flavor of foods but in meat
preservation and canning. I keep 10 pounds of iodized salt in 1-pound
boxes, and 10 pounds of canning salt. Canning salt is used in pickles
because table salt contains chemicals that sometimes cause pickles to
soften or discolor. Dry salt will keep forever. If it should harden, beat it with a hammer and it will be made useable.
Dry milk is a necessity, even for those of us who have dairy animals.
One never knows when your animals may be dry and you need milk...today. Dehydrated milk does not taste as good as fresh. But it is great for cooking and it will work on cereal or for chocolate milk. The boxes at your local store will last for years with no change in taste. I keep about 10 pounds of dry milk, even though we have dairy animals.
Spices are indispensable. Be sure to store a wide variety of your
favorites. True, spices do lose some of their flavor in a year or so. But
better to have an old spice than no spice. They will “keep” forever, but
will slowly lose their potency. I buy most of mine in oriental markets
and restaurant supply houses.
Miscellaneous canned necessities
Peanut butter isn’t just for kids, folks. It’s a tasty, great protein
source that’s versatile, as well. No one guesses that the secret ingredient
in my best stir-fry is a tablespoonful of chunky peanut butter.
Remember that besides peanut butter sandwiches and spread on toast,
you can bake cookies and other desserts with this protein-filled treat.
Unopened, it’ll last for years.
Shortening and vegetable oils will make cooking more of a pleasure,
not to mention all the baking you may want to do. Most shortenings will
store indefinitely in the pantry and unopened bottles of vegetable oils
will be fine for over a year, usually longer. Rotate the oils more frequently than the solid shortening. You will probably like using corn oil to reconstitute your powdered margarine and butter, instead of water. You’ll use more shortening and vegetable oil in a year than you’d guess. I store a dozen cans of shortening and 6 large bottles of vegetable oil.
Dehydrated foods
Unless you need sealed cans of dehydrated foods, you can dehydrate
food for long-term storage yourself. It’s amazing how easy it is to dry
foods at home. While I homecan a huge variety of foods, I also rely on
dehydrated foods, which complement the canned foods. For instance,
canned peas taste like nasty mush. Sorry, Jolly Green, it’s the truth. So instead of canning my peas, I dehydrate them. When rehydrated, they
taste almost as good as fresh.
What foods can you dehydrate? Here is just a sample: raisins, cherries,
pineapple, peaches, apples, plums, watermelon, peas, corn, hominy, beans, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, peppers, squash, pumpkin, apricots, mushrooms, asparagus, turnips, rutabagas, raspberries, blueberries, citrus peel, bananas, mangos, fruit leathers of all types and mixtures, and jerky. Gee, I get hungry just making this list.
Canned foods
While you can buy up a bunch of canned meats, vegetables, fruits,
jams, jellies, pickles, and so forth at the store to put in a long-term storage pantry, it’s a good idea to learn to homecan foods. Both will have
an indefinite shelf life, but homecanned foods will be much more tasty
and nutritious. And if a situation develops where you can not buy more
storebought food, you can reuse your jars and rings (not lids) and
homecan more food to restock your pantry. All it takes is a garden and
a little skill.
Here are some samples of home canned foods you can store and use:
apples, applesauce, apricots, baby foods, asparagus, barbecue sauces,
beans of all types, beef roasts, stew meat, beets, blackberries, cabbage,
corn, carrots, celery, cherries, cheese, chicken, chili, clam chowder,
clams, conserves, corned beef, crab apple jelly & pickles, cranberry
sauce, elderberry jelly, elk, fish, grapefruit, grapes, grape jelly, greens, jams, ground beef, jellies, juices, lamb, maple syrup, mixed vegetables, mincemeat, moose, mushrooms, okra, parsnips, peaches, pears, peppers, pickles, pie fillings, plums, plum jelly and conserve, poke, pork, potatoes, poultry, preserves, pumpkin, rabbit, raspberries, rhubarb, salsa, sauerkraut, sausage, seafoods, soups, taco meat, taco sauce, tomatoes, tomato catsup, tomato sauce, turkey, turnips, venison, watermelon pickles, wild game, fowl, and much more.
Remember though, there are 52 weeks in a year, so if times get tough
you will need more food than you first think. There may be no fast food, only homecooked meals. Calculate carefully and err on the bountiful
side, rather than have your family go hungry. And can a wide variety.
No family likes to eat beans every meal.
Pet foods
Perhaps the easiest foods to store for your dogs and cats are dry foods.
Under decent storage conditions, a good quality dog or cat food will
remain fresh for at least a year. Store a high quality dry food, not the
“cheaper” brands. As with most everything, you get what you pay for.
Add up what your pets eat in a week, a month, then multiply it by 12.
Store in rodent-proof containers.
It’s also a good idea to include a few cans of quality dog and cat food
for a treat now and then. I knew a lady who survived the depression
with her dear fox terrier. The woman was very poor and could not
afford any dog food, whatsoever. And, of course, there were very few
table scraps. So to feed her beloved pet, she trapped woodchucks and
muskrats, which she skinned for a few dollars and canned the boned
meat for her dog. Coupled with a few meager table scraps, her fox terrier
came through the hard times fat and sassy.
You and your family can come through hard times in triumph, not merely “survive” them. All it takes is a bit of planning, a lot of hard work, and some ingenuity.
http://www.backwoodscooking.com/pantry_list.php
You’ve decided that you’re going to put at least a year’s worth of
food away for your family just in case. Great!
Everyone should do that. We store enough to feed friends, extended
family, and neighbors from time to time, as well. We could not turn
down anyone who came to us saying, “I’m hungry.” So I stock up more
than most people do.
Flours and grains
Man may not live by bread alone, but grains form the base for many
meals, especially during a period of hard times. With flours and whole
grains stored, you have the main ingredient for homemade pastas, breads, rolls, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, tortillas and other flat breads,
pie crusts, cookies, cakes, and more.
I store unbleached (who needs bleaching compounds in their diet?)
flour, at least 200 pounds, in 25-pound store bags, wrapped in plastic
bags and duct tape, in Rubbermaid garbage cans with locking lids in my
pantry. This will feed three of us, plus extra for friends and family, for
over a year, coupled with other flour products and whole grains.
You can add any specialty flours your family likes, such as rye, amaranth,
or Durham (for specialty pastas).
In addition to this flour, I like at least 100 pounds of hard wheat
(sometimes called “wheat berries”). As ground whole wheat goes rancid
fairly quickly, I like this wheat on hand to grind for all of my whole
wheat recipes. In addition, whole wheat grain will grow when planted,
making wheat growing on a fairly small plot possible to restock my supply. As little as a 50x50-foot plot will grow enough wheat for a
small family’s needs.
I also stock about 20 pounds of cornmeal, 20 pounds of masa harina
de maize (corn flour) which I use to make tamales and corn tortillas,
along with 25 pounds of popcorn (grinds nicely for cornmeal, as well
as popping for treats), and 25 pounds of hominy corn (makes hominy
and also masa harina de maize).
Rice, both brown and white, fits nicely in our storage pantry. We also
store about 25 pounds of a combination of white and brown rice with a
few pounds of wild rice mixed in.
And don’t forget rolled oats. They are much more versatile than just
using them for oatmeal. I include them in several multi-grain breads,
breakfast cake, bars, meat loaf, granola, and cookies. And as for oatmeal,
we like it cooked up with peaches, strawberries, and apples with
cinnamon for a treat.
Any grains that are ground, especially cornmeal, masa harina de
maize, and whole wheat, will get rancid quicker than do whole grains,
which usually stay good for many years. Even so, flours (except whole
wheat flour) will stay perfectly good for five years or more if kept dry
and stored in airtight and bug- and rodent-proof containers.
I buy my white flour, cornmeal, etc. on sale at local supermarkets,
usually just before Thanksgiving, as it is cheaper then. Otherwise, I pick it up at Sam’s Club or other restaurant supply houses.
I pick up whole grains from local grain farmers. Sometimes the wheat needs a bit more cleaning if dusty, but a few pours from one basket
to another on a windy day ensures very clean wheat. (And my wheat
is not treated with toxic fumigants in storage bins before being ground
into flour, as is most wheat sold to flour mills.)
When buying flour to store, be absolutely sure the bags are completely
sealed, with no flour leaking out, to prevent flour weevil problems.
In areas where there is a weevil problem (webs and “bugs” in unsealed
cornmeal and flour), some folks freeze each bag of flour for several
days before wrapping and storing it in completely bug-proof containers.
I have not done this, but I am exceptionally careful not to store any flour
products that were not very well sealed from the processing plant, and
I keep them in insect-proof containers. Remember that these moths are
very small and squeeze through very tiny openings.
It is not necessary to buy flours and grains from long-term storage
companies unless you fear flooding. In this case, sealed tins or buckets
of flours would be a good idea. I’ve had plain white flour stored for over
five years, which is just as good today as it was when I bought it.
Beans and other legumes
When one thinks of long-term storage, usually dried beans come first
to mind. I guess this is because they remain good for so long, are nutritious, and taste pretty darned good to boot. But, for heaven’s sake, don’t just buy a hundred pounds of navy beans and say you’re all set for whatever may come your way. All beans do not taste the same. There’s a big,
big difference between a large white lima and a Jacob’s cattle bean, for
instance. Some taste nutty, some bland. Some cook up quickly, some
require hours of cooking. Some remain firm after cooking, others get
mushy and soft. Experiment with a wide variety of beans before committing
to a choice.
We store about 50 pounds of combined legumes, which include pintos,
Cherokee mixed cornfield beans, Jacob’s cattle, Hopi black bush,
navies, red kidney, and a dozen old Native American varieties, along
with lentils, soup peas, black-eyed peas, and garbanzos.
Beans are a great protein source and combine well in many different
dishes. Refried beans, fried dry pea patties, stews, soups, chiles, baked
beans, and casseroles are just a few uses for these versatile legumes.
You can buy your beans in local markets, health food stores, and coops,
or you can do like we do, and grow your own.
All beans store a long, long time in an airtight and bug and rodentproof
container. I keep mine in gallon glass jars and in decorative popcorn
tins, right on handy shelves in the kitchen. While old beans do take
longer to cook up tender, they last indefinitely; I’ve grown beans from
500-year-old seeds. And if you can grow plants from seed, you can certainly
eat them.
Dried pasta
While I make a lot of homemade pasta, I still keep quite a bit in our
storage pantry. When you’re busy with a survival situation, you may not
have time to make pasta. So I’ve put away 10 pounds of long spaghetti,
10 pounds of lasagna noodles, 10 pounds of wide egg noodles, 5
pounds of alphabet macaroni, 15 pounds of elbow macaroni, and a few
pounds of assorted pasta noodles.
This dry pasta keeps indefinitely when stored in a dry, bug and rodentproof
container. As with my beans and other legumes, I use decorative
popcorn tins and gallon glass jars.
Sugar and honey
You will probably agree with me that we all eat too much sugar. And
although honey is natural and better for us than refined sugar, it’s still
sugar. But in bad times, we usually feel better with “treats” from time
to time. And these treats often include sugar. Also, much fruit is home
canned with a sugar syrup, and if you’re going to can to keep your
pantry from running out in bad times, you’ll need quite a bit for fruits,
pickles, jams, jellies, preserves, etc.
Although my husband Bob is a diabetic, we do include sugar in our
storage pantry. I keep a 25-pound sack in a plastic garbage can, along with assorted other dry foods. Much of this sugar is used in canning and
desserts for my son, David, and myself. Bob needs a sugar substitute.
Sugar stores indefinitely if kept dry. If it should get damp and harden,
you can still save it. Beat the bag with a hammer, being careful not to
split the sack. (I would put the paper bag in a heavy plastic bag, just in
case.) Soon the hard lump will be many smaller ones, easy to crumble
with your hand.
Honey is a good long-term storage bet. I keep two gallons of honey,
stored in quart jars. Honey may crystallize if it gets too cool, but it is
still good and will re-liquify if warmed up by sitting the jar in a
saucepan of boiling water. Raw honey only needs to be put into quart
or larger jars and sealed. I have 15-year-old honey that’s still great. (In
case you’re wondering, I try to keep a little of each food for a long, long
time, to see just how long it will remain good. I do rotate my long-term
storage food, using the oldest and replacing it with newer food in an
ongoing process.)
Besides these two sweeteners, I keep 10 pounds of brown sugar and 5
pounds of powdered sugar, stored in the bag they come in until I’m
ready to use them. These bags are stored in the plastic garbage can,
along with the white sugar and much more. The only problem I’ve had
regularly with brown sugar is hardening in the bag. I’ve cured this by
breaking the sugar into chunks, dropping them into a gallon glass jar
and adding a piece of paper towel, dampened with water. Close the jar
and in a few days the sugar will be soft again.

And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity....
Thanks: rickeypickles
No this is not good.....It's great...There's little to nothing in this that can be disputed. Most are already disillusioned, but are either too proud or too dumb to see what this Clown has pulled on the American people..... The Battle Cry that echoes across this faltering Nation is: "Where's My Check"....."It sure as hell ain't In the Mail." (They hardly noticed the $10/week change in tax withholding.) But four more years is too long for "Tea Parties" to prevent this likely conclusion.
Written by an unknown Pastor's Wife, and brilliantly said:
And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America , having lost their morals, their work initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as “The One”. He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you. My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence. For I shall save you with Hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has built must be destroyed."
And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what “The One” would do, he had promised that he would bring change, and they proclaimed “Yes We Can”.
And “The One” said "We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Change is good!"
Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats,"---- And the people said "Sock it to them!" "---- and “Redistribute their wealth."
And then He said, "Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody"
And the people said, "Show us the money!"
And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??"
And “The One” ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were hacked, publicized, and ridiculed; though no crime could be found.
One lone reporter asked, "That shouldn’t be, isn't that Marxist policy?"
And she was banished from the kingdom!
Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?"
And “The One” said, "Simple. I shall sit with them and talk kindly to them and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!"
Then “The One” said, "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes."
And one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes."
So “The One” said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Show us the money!"
Then “The One” said, "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!"
And the people yawned and the already slumping housing market fully collapsed.
And He said, "I shall mandate employer-funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage, and lower the white collar wage. And I shall also give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and even transportation to the free clinics."
And the people said, "Give me some of that!"
Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."
And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"
Then “The One” said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry, and perhaps even the oil industry (Cap & Trade/Carbon Tax) and though electricity rates will skyrocket, we shall soon build wind farms and solar power stations and drive green cars that I shall mandate in Detroit !"
And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates."
So “The One” said, "Not to worry. If your rebate ($10/week) isn't enough to cover your extra expenses ($3,000/year), we shall bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!" “Only the fat cats will have to pay.”
Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let's grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing..."
And the people said, "Hallelujah!!" And they made him King!
And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers; though they sold much less of their products. Others simply gave up and went out of business, and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support.
So “The One” again blamed the prior administration, extended unemployment benefits to a year, bailed out his favorite banks, and then took over the banks and auto industries. “The One” said, "I am the “The One” - The Messiah - and I'm here to save you! We shall just print more money so the government will have enough!" “Surely one trillion dollars will make everyone happy.” And immediately the Fed complied and the money presses roared.
And China reconsidered their one trillion dollars of loans to the US ,, and threatened to call in their debts. Other foreign trading partners said unto “The One”, "Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay more…. for everything…. as your dollar becomes worth less."
And the people said, "Wait a minute.. That is unfair!!"
And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. What factories are not owned by your government are owned by us. Now you shall play by our rules!"
And “The One” said “Americans are arrogant, divisive, and derisive!” "We will listen."
And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?"
But yea verily, it was too late. The people eventually set upon “The One” and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. But the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change that “The One” had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them from within, and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.
And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish, "Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!"
But it was too late, and the once-glorious “Home of the Brave and Land of the Free” was no more..

But four more years is too long for "Tea Parties" to prevent this likely conclusion.
Written by an unknown Pastor's Wife, and brilliantly said:
And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America , having lost their morals, their work initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as “The One”. He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you. My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence. For I shall save you with Hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has built must be destroyed."
And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what “The One” would do, he had promised that he would bring change, and they proclaimed “Yes We Can”.
And “The One” said "We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Change is good!"
Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats,"---- And the people said "Sock it to them!" "---- and “Redistribute their wealth."
And then He said, "Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody"
And the people said, "Show us the money!"
And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??"
And “The One” ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were hacked, publicized, and ridiculed; though no crime could be found.
One lone reporter asked, "That shouldn’t be, isn't that Marxist policy?"
And she was banished from the kingdom!
Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?"
And “The One” said, "Simple. I shall sit with them and talk kindly to them and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!"
Then “The One” said, "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes."
And one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes."
So “The One” said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Show us the money!"
Then “The One” said, "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!"
And the people yawned and the already slumping housing market fully collapsed.
And He said, "I shall mandate employer-funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage, and lower the white collar wage. And I shall also give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and even transportation to the free clinics."
And the people said, "Give me some of that!"
Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."
And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"
Then “The One” said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry, and perhaps even the oil industry (Cap & Trade/Carbon Tax) and though electricity rates will skyrocket, we shall soon build wind farms and solar power stations and drive green cars that I shall mandate in Detroit !"
And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates."
So “The One” said, "Not to worry. If your rebate ($10/week) isn't enough to cover your extra expenses ($3,000/year), we shall bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!" “Only the fat cats will have to pay.”
Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let's grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing..."
And the people said, "Hallelujah!!" And they made him King!
And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers; though they sold much less of their products. Others simply gave up and went out of business, and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support.
So “The One” again blamed the prior administration, extended unemployment benefits to a year, bailed out his favorite banks, and then took over the banks and auto industries. “The One” said, "I am the “The One” - The Messiah - and I'm here to save you! We shall just print more money so the government will have enough!" “Surely one trillion dollars will make everyone happy.” And immediately the Fed complied and the money presses roared.
And China reconsidered their one trillion dollars of loans to the US ,, and threatened to call in their debts. Other foreign trading partners said unto “The One”, "Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay more…. for everything…. as your dollar becomes worth less."
And the people said, "Wait a minute.. That is unfair!!"
And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. What factories are not owned by your government are owned by us. Now you shall play by our rules!"
And “The One” said “Americans are arrogant, divisive, and derisive!” "We will listen."
And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?"
But yea verily, it was too late. The people eventually set upon “The One” and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. But the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change that “The One” had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them from within, and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.
And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish, "Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!"
But it was too late, and the once-glorious “Home of the Brave and Land of the Free” was no more..
