"The Economic Collapse Hits Home: 1 Out Of 4 US Children Could Suffer From Hunger By The End Of 2020"
"The 2020 economic collapse has certainly smashed millions of hopes and dreams, but for children, it has removed prospects for a healthy growth and a flourishing childhood, considering that one out of four American children has been suffering from acute hunger throughout this year. The U.S. has nearly 75 million children, and approximately 18 million of them are now in food-insecure households. As a consequence of the current economic recession, their parents have lost their jobs, therefore, the ability to provide for their kids most basic needs.
Many of these households are also on the brink of eviction, and as federal programs expire and food banks get increasingly overwhelmed the situation of these families is about to get much more aggravating. It's lamentable to see our great nation go down this troubled path - one that could potentially compromise the future of our next generation. In this video, we expose this incredibly concerning issue that authorities haven't been taking seriously and the mainstream media doesn't seem to be properly addressing.
Ever since the health crisis struck in America and triggered the most damaging economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s, a large chunk of our population suddenly lost their main source of income. The majority of these people have never needed external assistance to find ways of ensuring their survival, but now they are counting on government handouts, food distribution events, and the kindness of others to provide a plate of food for their kids. Unfortunately, oftentimes outside help is not enough. According to Feeding America, by December, over 50 million people could be experiencing food insecurity. The organization has warned that one in six Americans and one in four children could go hungry - a 50 percent increase from 2019.
Overall, this massive spike in food insecurity is a clear result of the record unemployment and underemployment rates. An alarming 5.6 million households have struggled to put enough food on the table in the last week of November, which means, several families didn't have what to eat during Thanksgiving.
Although the U.S. has a vast network of food banks across its territory, the demand has been so high that there simply is not going to be enough food if it continues to soar in the months ahead. According to Feeding America, food banks have consistently seen a 60 percent increase in demand compared to this time last year.
Now, as several states started to impose new lockdowns to control the rampant spread of the virus and record-high hospitalization rates, such unprecedented demand for food aid will persist as we advance towards the end of the year. In Texas, the North Texas Food Bank told that before the collapse happened, their aim was to distribute 92 million meals by 2025. But by early June, they had largely surpassed that target.
In Cleveland, where 5,000 families showed up for the pre-Thanksgiving drive-in distribution. About 54% of the food distributed was directed to children and seniors. Some states such as New Mexico and California are on the verge of a famine calamity. According to Sonya Warwick of Albuquerque's Road Runner Food Bank, one in three children are experiencing hunger this year, while in rural California, the executive director of Tulare County FoodLink Nicole Celaya disclosed that "the food cliff is looming. The food system hasn't done a very good job of meeting the increased need. As viral case numbers continue to rise, it's going to get worse."
This staggering level of hunger is something only seen before during the Great Depression. Still, almost a century later, the cracks are large enough for tens of millions of Americans to slip and fall right into poverty. As pantries are running low, and another stimulus package is out of sight, many food banks don't know how they will continue to feed Americans.

“Choose Your Words: Failure”
"The Grand Inevitability of Unavoidable Endings"
"It is true people are known by their actions. We are what we do. Or, more specifically, we are what we do and not what we say we’ll do. Actions speak louder than words. It means if the swamp were to be truly drained, there would have been a steady progression of media revelations indicating genuine results during the Trump administration. Therefore, to quantify any progress of swamp draining, I collated headlines in a series of articles posted in the spring and summer of 2018. The objective at that time was to identify actual trends prior to the midterm elections based upon reported news, instead of political spin, empty promises, smoke and mirrors.
The final compilation of the series of articles was posted on September 1, 2018 and was entitled “Destination in Sight”. It summarized specific trends in accordance with previous monthly postings and there were two prominent progressions identified:
1.) The advancement of Socialism and
2.) The technological ascendency of Orwell’s Big Brother.
Accordingly, over the past few years, we have witnessed corrupt manifestations of sheer political power, seemingly, crashing in waves – each one higher than the last as measured by historical consequence: Russiagate, the Mueller investigation, impeachment, Covid, and, now, a stolen election paired to a propagandic media narrative which has warped reality for millions of Americans.
At this point, it no longer matters whether President Trump is a real swamp fighter, a naïve dupe, or a symbol of (misplaced?) hope to his supporters. In truth, the tsunamis of trends were formed decades ago in America and have since grown larger than any campaign platform or presidential administration.
1.) Fight the empire.
2.) Sell out.
3.) Or choose one’s battles carefully and deliberately.
"Whether Trump wins another term or a convenient stock market crash installs a socialist president and secures a blue wave in 2020, the current administration will have served the bleeding of the nation’s brake lines before the Big Stop. And, undoubtedly, this blogger and those reading these words have defiantly distinct digital footprints. So when the final votes are counted on the inevitable day, the new sheriffs will be in town. They’re coming for us all and all we thought we ever had."
Like a flower, a nation was planted onto the fertile ground. It grew and blossomed under the midday sun but now wilts and dies. The seasons come and go. The sun rises and sets. We are born, we flourish and fade. Everything turns.
The truth is, no matter who is president, vaccinations will be, at the very least, strongly encouraged by means of economic pressure; and, at most, submission to medical tyranny will be mandated in order to travel, work, shop, buy, or sell.
In his four-act drama “Man and Superman”, the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw penned the following quote: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
And has that not been the Story of Man since the first campfire? But what kind of progress? Isn’t that a most important consideration?
William Butler Yeats in his poem “The Second Coming”, wrote:
The Covid pandemic was unleashed by psychopaths who now demand the plebeians to submit for reasons of safety. The irony is ridiculous. And, now, an American presidential election is in the process of being illegally stolen by the same psychopaths who will soon issue despotic edicts on a citizenry expected to acquiesce and obey.
This is tyranny.
Entire red regions, and counties possessing constitutionally-committed law enforcement agents, could, potentially, be fortified in a balkanized America, and primarily through the coordination and cooperation of existing civil administrations. But the heads of select institutions and agencies will need to work together quickly and decisively for any micro-constitutional republics to achieve self-sufficiency before Mordor swallows all.
The answers are not in the problem. The answers are in the answer. It means compromise is a strategy for failure. Now is the time to rise; to shine like stars at midnight."
