You’ve probably been hearing a lot about urban survival and the various aspects related to it. It may even influence you to enroll in a class or go to a boot camp and get yourself some form of intensive training.

However during this time you still don’t know what SHTF actually means. SHTF stands for shit hits the fan. People who prepare themselves for the urban survival lifestyles and survivalists believe this is the stage when a civilization is undergoing a complete breakdown and there’s a lot of unrest possibly from threats of civil unrest, a terrorist attack, war or an epidemic.

So you were confronted with a SHTF situation and you’ve still managed to pull through with great ease. Now that the situation is going back to normal and you may have to move back into your own home. But how do you deal with this SHTF aftermath? Who gives you the guarantee that you and your family won’t still be affected?

The fact is that it is still all in your hands to see that nothing happens to you and your family. There’s a certain way of dealing with the aftermath as well. And if that way is followed, you can be rest assured that nothing can possibly happen to you. Here are a few things that you can do to ensure that you life gets back to normal after the SHTF:

1. Before the SHTF, you’ll stock up on not only necessities but also “just in case items” if you have a safe place to do so. By doing so, you’ll be securing your future and, once the SHTF ends, you’ll have a more than normal stock of things that you will need.

2. Prepare yourself for a struggle and please don’t think it will be easy as living in the woods and hunting animals and having them for dinner. The aftermath will be such that once the bullets and the stored food are gone; you’ll be going back to the basics just like our ancestors did centuries before. It’s definitely not going to be a cake walk if that’s what you’re expecting it to be.

3. You have to be self sufficient. Learn how to grow your own food, how to make compost and biogas, etc. This will help you become self sufficient and not depend on others for the basic needs of you and your family.

4. It is said that 50% of people will be dead after SHTF. So you need to ensure that you don’t catch any infectious diseases. You can prevent this from happening to you and your family by maintaining your personal hygiene and avoiding contact with infected persons.

Be self sufficient by learning how to survive after the SHTF. There’s no substitute for training in urban survival. Rest assured that your money will be well spent in the long run.

Mastering a number of Urban Survival Techniques is critical to being able to make it in the tough economic times that are coming to America. The riots and economic issues that we see in Europe are only beginning, are only going to get worse, and are going to show up here on our shores.

Urban Survival Techniques are much less about self-defense and firearms and such, and are rather much more about making it through daily life when we are experiencing the next Great Depression and a collapse of the US Dollar, making all the goods we import much more expensive.

It’s important to think of these skills in two sets of categories. The first category simply lists the various skill sets that you will need in the future. The second category defines the skills that you do and don’t have. In this article, we’ll look at the first category – the broadly defined skill sets that you need to be cultivating for your sake and the sake of your family.

Urban Survival Techniques – Skills Sets

1. Ensuring a safe supply of drinking water is the first, most critical thing on the list. Whether a tornado or other natural disaster wipes out the water treatment facility or the power grid goes down and you have no water pressure at your faucet, you need water to live. Consider also that the number one cause of death among children in the world is unsafe drinking water, and you get a sobering idea of what it is we take for granted.
2. Having enough food is the next priority. Since most Americans don’t have enough non-perishables on hand to last more than a week, and in a disaster whatever is in your refrigerator or freezer will not last more than two days, we are in a precarious situation. Ask any grocery store manager and you will discover that a 3 day supply of food is the most any store has on hand. This means that unless you want to be a refugee or dependent on the government during a crisis, you had better learn about the proper way to store at least a couple weeks supply of food.
3. Having a “Plan B” for first aid or medical care in case the hospital or clinic is unavailable is the next priority. We take health care – especially emergency services – for granted. However, if the power grid is down or fuel supplies are interrupted and vehicles stop moving, we need to have a well thought out plan for how we will get the medical attention we may need.

Here’s just a small glimpse of what you’ll find in The Lost SuperFoods:

The US Army’s Forgotten Food Miracle And 126 Superfoods That You Can Store Without Refrigeration for Years

Watch the video below!

Headed by undemocratic Dem Rep. James Clyburn, current House Whip, he — like the vast majority of others in Congress — are mortal enemies of protecting and preserving public health.

The subcommittee he heads is mandated to support and suppress reality about the mother of all state-sponsored scams.

It has nothing to do with serving the public interest.

Nothing related to with promoting healthcare as it should be practiced.

Nothing to do with protecting against “waste, fraud, abuse, price gouging, profiteering, or other abusive practices related to” all things flu/covid.

Nothing to do with the heavily promoted “pandemic” because nothing of the sort exists, an invented one alone to push the made-in-the-USA/West health and freedom-destroying agenda.

What Clyburn’s subcommittee calls a “coronavirus crisis” relates only countless millions who’ve been irreparably harmed by kill shots, masking and all else related to the state-sponsored scam.

In late October, Clyburn called for an FTC probe to determine whether entities and individuals that promote  use of known safe and effective ivermectin and hydroxchloroquine (HCQ) violated federal law.

He called Americans who remain jab-free “influenced by misinformation (sic).”

And he falsely claimed that America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS), along with likeminded entities and individuals, are “endangering American lives and harming our efforts to stop the spread of the virus (sic).”

He cited phony claims by the Pharma-controlled FDA, CDC and NIAID, falsely claiming that ivermectin and HCQ “are not effective in preventing or treating coronavirus (sic) and can cause severe illness (sic),” adding:

“The promotion of falsehoods about coronavirus (sic), questionable treatments (sic), and (mass-jabbing) is life-threatening (sic).”

“I believe these deceptive practices (sic) may also violate the FTC Act, the (Flu/Covid) Consumer Protection Act, or other relevant laws (sic).”

Clyburn’s bald-faced Big Lies to push health-destroying kill shots were exposed long ago.

Never before in human history has the health and well-being of so many people been in such grave danger as now.

Never before were poorly developed, inadequately tested experimental drugs so heavily promoted — on a foundation of bald-faced Big Lies with the worst of diabolical aims in mind.

Never before were fetuses and all others from infancy to old age as threatened by what’s designed to cause irreparable harm, yet falsely promoted as safe and effective.

Never before were medical associations, medical schools, hospitals and MSM bribed with big bucks to promote what harms health.

In the US, anti-public health agencies call for babies and infants to be jabbed with the following:

Three hepatitis B shots.

One for hepatitis A.

Two for rotavirus.

Four for diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis.

Four for haemophilus influenza.

Four for pneumococcal conjugate.

Three for polio.

One for measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, and annual flu shots.

None of the above and other jabs work as claimed.

Vaccines are unsafe instead of the other way around — notably health-destroying flu/covid jabs.

Pushing all of the above prioritizes profits over public health, ordinary people used and abused as unwitting guinea pigs.

Before infants advance from crawling to walking, their health has been compromised by an extensive cocktail of harmful jabs at the expense of their immune systems and overall well-being.

Most medical research is funded by Pharma — firms wanting nothing interfering with their ability to maximize revenue and profits.

Truth-telling physicians and scientists aren’t interviewed by MSM, just sources who stick to the fabricated official narrative.

Everyone jabbed for flu/covid was irreparably harmed, some collapsing, becoming disabled or dying straightaway.

Harm showing up in others days, weeks or months later.

Some are symptom-free longer-term.

The lifespan of everyone jabbed for flu/covid was shortened.

Yet the vast majority of illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths from kill shots are falsely attributed to other causes.

Independent research indisputably shows that unjabbed individuals are profoundly safer than their jabbed counterparts.

Yet truth-telling physicians are at risk of being delicensed for doing the right thing.

Whoever says flu/covid jabs are safe is lying — including governments, their MSM press agents and Pharma profiteers.

Since mass-jabbing began, there’s been an explosion of heart disease, cancer and other major diseases.

Countless numbers of people were disabled by their toxins.

All Western regimes and their MSM co-conspirators lie, deceive and can never be trusted.

Kill shots and all else flu/covid is Exhibit A.

A Final Comment

Pharma-controlled US (anti-public) health officials lied claiming a heightened risk of flu/covid this winter.

Reciting pre-scripted lines, the fake Biden once again pushed kill shots.

Along with more monster than man Fauci, the Biden regime’s so-called flu/covid coordinator, Ashish Jha, pushed toxic jabs and boosters ahead of winter.

Protecting and preserving health requires shunning what they advise.

US/Western regimes and Nazi-infested Ukraine were caught red-handed reinventing reality on the ground time and again.

Their propaganda reports feature state-approved Big Lies while suppressing truth and full disclosure.

According to puppet Zelensky regime fake news, its military close to collapse “eliminated 91,150 Russian” soldiers (sic), including 550 over the past day (sic).

And this divorced from reality rubbish:

Battered and beaten regime troops “destroyed 2,922 Russian tanks (sic), 5,892 armored personnel vehicles (sic), 1,908 artillery systems (sic), 395 MLRS (sic), 210 air defense systems (sic), 281 aircraft (sic), 263 helicopters (sic), 1,573 UAVs (sic), 531 cruise missiles (sic), 16 ships/boats (sic), 4,479 vehicles and fuel tanks (sic), and 163 special equipment units (sic).”

All of the above trash doesn’t rise to the level of bad fiction.

The same goes for falsely claiming that Russia’s “biggest losses” are in Krasny Liman and Artyomovsk.

A previous article stressed how overpowering Russian military firepower and tactical superiority are bleeding the former nation-state to death.

In 10 months of fighting, the regime sustained hundreds of thousands of casualties.

They’ll keep increasing exponentially as long as fighting continues.

In stark contrast to how the regime’s military is heading toward collapse, Russian casualties have been a small fraction of Ukrainian ones.

In the battle for control of Artemovsk and surrounding areas, regime troops are fighting trench warfare in frigid knee-deep water full of corpses.

Deaths and injuries are so extensive that no one is keeping count.

Yet according to puppet Zelensky’s reinvention of indisputable reality on the ground, “our victory (sic) is being achieved (sic) by strength of arms (sic).”

During the early weeks of Russia’s liberating SMO, the US-installed buffoon operated from Poland, falsely pretending to be in Ukraine.

He’ll likely head back there or somewhere else cross-border when the regime’s military collapses.

Ukraine as it once was no longer exists.

Russian hypersonic high-precision strikes left half of its territory without electricity, heat, tap water and sanitation.

In other areas, rolling blackouts continue, including in Kiev, Odessa and Dnepropetrovsk regions.

Air raid alerts are an every day thing.

Devastating Russian strikes can occur anywhere at any time.

Its hypersonic munitions cannot be intercepted by US/Western-supplied air defense systems.

On Saturday, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said the following:

The US-dominated West wants forever war on Russia continued.

“So its special military operation won’t end” as long as expendable Kiev troops remain to be eliminated.

“If they want to fight until the last Ukrainian, or the last Pole and other mercenaries, that’s their choice.” 

“So far, neither our intelligence agencies nor I see their willingness to engage in full-scale talks.”

Kiev greatly erred by allying with the empire of lies and forever wars, especially by challenging Russia’s overwhelmingly superior firepower.

Charging Orthodox Christian clergy with “justification, recognition as legitimate, or denial of (nonexistent Russian) “aggression (or) glorification of its participants” is a sign of desperation.

The Kiev-based Pechersk Lavra monastery is Ukraine’s most prominent Orthodox Christian site.

It’s not connected to the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine or the Moscow Patriarchate.

Yet in late November, Ukrainian SBU domestic security thugs raided the monastery on the phony pretext of preventing “subversive activities of Russian special services (sic).”

Falsely claiming that it was being used to conceal “saboteurs, foreign agents and weapons” was invented rubbish to justify what was unjustifiable.

Russia slammed what happened as an example of how dominant Ukrainian Nazis operate extrajudicially.

Separately as US/Western regimes deplete their ability to keep supplying the regime with weapons and munitions, the empire of lies won’t be able to keep pouring them into Ukraine if Congress doesn’t agree on funding the Pentagon by Dec. 16.

While a one-year stopgap funding bill could be passed to resolve the issue, it would be a historical first if adopted.

At this time, Congressional legislation includes $29 billion less than what dominant Biden regime hardliners requested for FY 2023.

If what’s adopted excludes the $29 billion, hegemon USA will be hard-pressed to keep supplying Ukrainian Nazis with weapons and munitions by spring next year or earlier, according to the Pentagon’s chief financial officer, Michael McCord.

While this issue may be resolved ahead, Kiev is exhausting its weapons and munitions faster than US/Western regimes can resupply its troops.

And much of what’s shipped is either destroyed by Russia or resold on the dark web to terrorist groups and other buyers by Zelensky and other hugely corrupted regime officials.

Most important is no matter what the US/West supplies to Kiev, at most it can delay but not prevent Russia’s triumph over the scourge of what hegemon USA created.

Its days are numbered.

Americans are used to being pretty much immune to any real social or economic calamities, with memories of the Great Depression being something that is limited to textbooks. We have gotten to the point where, even with the current recession, we just can’t imagine an all out economic collapse could ever happen here in our country.

However, the signs are that the very thing that we think of as unthinkable is becoming more and more probable with every passing week. An economic collapse is more likely than ever before, and with it, food shortages and power outages. Just how could that be true?

First off, the power outages and food shortages are just natural results of the economic collapse. Both food shortages and power outages are consequences of the supply chain disruptions that occur when an economy collapses.

An economic collapse like what is most likely to occur in the United States would be a scenario where the government has to print more and more money to pay its bills and that causes enormous inflation. Very quickly, the inflation turns to hyperinflation, where instead of 5% per year, the rate of inflation becomes 5% per month and then, for a brief period of panic, even 5% per week.

Important Below:

Here’s just a small glimpse of what you’ll find in The Lost SuperFoods:

The US Army’s Forgotten Food Miracle And 126 Superfoods That You Can Store Without Refrigeration for Years

Watch the video below!

When the economic collapse begins and inflation skyrockets, suppliers of all sorts of products get very reluctant to ship their goods today because next week they might get a drastically higher price. Add to that the concerns that they might never get paid and more and more companies suddenly go bankrupt, and very quickly there are food shortages in the stores, even though there is plenty of food in the country.

This same dynamic affects all of the public utilities. Contractors become reluctant to perform work for the electrical utilities and other public works employers as they are concerned that by the time they are paid, their money will buy only a fraction of what it would have bought when they earned it.

This disruption in the supply chain and with contractors and key government workers causes repairs and maintenance in critical infrastructure to get delayed, making things like the electrical power grid less reliable and more prone to breakdown.

This was a key lesson from the economic collapse of Argentina. A wealthy country with a strong middle class suddenly had issues with rolling blackouts and less than reliable electrical service. It was quiet a shock to the population. However, it should not come as such a big shock if this scenario unfolds in America.

So if we know that economic collapse, food shortages and power outages are increasingly likely to happen in the United States, we are faced with a decision. We can take some measures to prepare – either extreme measures like the “Doomsday Preppers” on TV, or some more modest measures – and remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

When foreign ministers of NATO regimes meet in Bucharest, Romania on Nov. 29 and 30, they’ll likely hear US-installed alliance puppet, Stoltenberg, say words to the following:

The war-making alliance “will continue to stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes,” what he said last week, adding:

Claiming that Russia “threaten(s) Euro-Atlantic peace and security” is a bald-faced Big Lie.

So is saying “President Putin is failing in Ukraine (sic).”

The same goes for falsely accusing him of “responding with more brutality (sic).”

And the following reinvention of reality:

“We are all paying a price for Russia’s” liberating SMO.

“If we let Putin win, all of us will pay a much higher price for many years to come (sic).”

Aggressor Ukraine since 2014 “is the victim (sic).”

“There will be no lasting peace if (Russia) wins (sic).”

“At our meeting in Bucharest, I will call for more” weapons and munitions for Ukrainian Nazis.

Not a word from Stotenberg about US-orchestrated and directed aggression by Ukraine since spring 2014 against Donbass residential communities.

He was silent about years of good faith Russian conflict resolution diplomacy, what hegemon USA-dominated NATO undermined.

And not a word about Kiev’s flagrant breach of Minsk I and II conflict resolution agreements — as ordered by its US master. 

Nothing about Russia’s right of self-defense, the legitimacy of its SMO according to the UN Charter and other international law.

Nothing about certain defeat and collapse of Ukraine’s made-in-the-USA military.

Nothing about Nazified rule under a figurehead puppet.

Nothing about a good v. pure evil conflict with Russia on the right side of history.

Stoltenberg is a mouthpiece for US imperial interests.

His hyperventilating leaves reality on the ground unchanged.

From day-one of its liberating SMO, Nazi-infested Ukraine’s fate was sealed — its only way out not taken.

It includes unconditional capitulation to Russia’s demands for demilitarization, deNazification and liberation of parts of its territory under illegal occupation by Kiev troops.

There never was any doubt about Russia’s ability to achieve the above aims.

Ukraine is paying dearly for allying with hegemon USA, allowing its foot soldiers to be used as expendable cannon fodder for a lost cause.

Of concern is the risk of pushing things too far by US/NATO regimes — the risk of crossing the line to greater direct confrontation between Russia and the war-making alliance than already.

By letter to the Champaign, IL News-Gazette, Law Professor Francis Boyle warned about the risk of unthinkable war between the world’s dominant nuclear powers, saying the following:

“US-Russia war in offing”

“The Pentagon recently announced that it was opening a new Army headquarters in Germany with 300 military staff members headed up by a three-star general for the alleged purpose of ‘coordinating security assistance for Ukraine.’ ”

“As a matter of fact, this is a US war-command staff headquarters for the purpose of waging war against Russia.”

“The last time I dealt personally with a three-star general was when I lectured and debated for an entire afternoon at the US Military Academy at West Point, NY, before their senior conference on ;’nuclear deterrence’ in front of, among others, the three-star general in charge of war operations for the Pentagon.”

“The Pentagon places three-star generals in charge of war operations — not managing inventory.”

“And the Pentagon does not use a military headquarters staff of 300 to audit managing inventory.”

“This is a war-headquarters staff.”

“The US is going to war against Russia unless the American people and Congress can figure out some way to stop it.”

“A good start would be supporting my draft bill of impeachment against (the White House occupant) for unconstitutional and existentially dangerous war-making in Ukraine, which is now in circulation on Capitol Hill.”

“The launch of a Ukrainian missile into Polish territory that killed two people and almost triggered Article 5 of the NATO pact proves it.”

In 2018, I warned about hegemon USA’s hostile anti-Russia agenda, an unacceptably dangerous situation gotten worse since that time.

Inventing a nonexistent Russian threat, US-dominated NATO military bases surround the country.

Its leadership is falsely accused of aggression and interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

Illegal US sanctions target the country, including ones Trump approved by signing into law the 2017 Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).

The hostile to peace measure targeted Russia, Iran and North Korea — not for any threat they pose, solely because they’re free from US control.

The Obama/Biden regime confiscated Russian diplomatic properties in the US — for invented reasons.

No legitimate ones existed.

Its diplomats were undiplomatically expelled.

Where hegemon USA goes, Western vassals follow — even when harming their own self-interest.

Last week, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, explained the following:

“As regards embassies, our diplomatic presence has actually been minimized in certain countries, largely EU countries we announced as unfriendly.”

“We have just one or two diplomats in (these) countries.”

Some diplomatic presence is maintained “because citizens and compatriots are there.”

“Organizations are there that every day require the issuance of documents, certificates of birth, passports, legalization of translations, and so on.”

“This is a routine job that has to be done, not merely to keep some diplomatic presence. They are working every day.”

Hostile actions by US/Western regimes forced Russia to respond defensively.

They repeatedly conduct provocative military exercises near its borders — rehearsals for preemptive war.

Under Obama/Biden — especially since undemocratic Dems usurped power by brazen election rigging in 2020, repeated in 2022 midterms — the risk of US-initiated nuclear war on Russia has been unacceptably heightened.

What’s unthinkable is possible because of US rage to control independent nations by whatever it takes to achieve its drive for unchallenged global hegemony.

Put another way, both wings of the US war party — especially Dems — may destroy planet earth by its rage to own it, its resources and populations to be exploited as serfs.

The Obama/Biden regime launched war in Ukraine after its 2014 coup, Russia falsely blamed for its aggression.

The Trump regime abandoned compliance with the landmark 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in August 2019 — on the phony pretext of Russian non-compliance, along with his intention to counter nonbelligerent China. 

Nothing justifies unjustifiable US actions on the world stage — especially its weaponization of Ukraine for perpetual war on Russia.

If nuclear war occurs ahead, it’ll be made-in-the-USA — most likely by recklessly dangerous undemocratic Dems.

Russia hopes for the best but prepared for the worst, Vladimir Putin saying:

“If the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will without doubt use all available means to protect Russia and our people.”

“This is not a bluff.”

Unlike his forked-tongue Western counterparts, Putin says what he means and means what he says.

He and others around him want world peace, stability and cooperative relations with other nations, according to the rule of law.

Longstanding US-dominated NATO policy is worlds apart different in pursuit of the war-making alliance’s diabolical aims.

Is nuclear war inevitable?

What’s unthinkable is more ominously possible than any previous time since the dawn of the nuclear age.

Other than the obvious consequences, what might we expect from a partial economic collapse? A total collapse of the economy would throw the nation into utter chaos. But what if we endure an economic depression, or a severe and long-lasting downturn? I think that some of the effects are not so obvious.

1. The college and university system will collapse

As I explained in this previous post, the system of higher education is a house of cards. The cost of getting a college degree has risen sharply and steadily, while real income has remained relatively flat. The price rise is due to the easy availability of grants and loans for education. But with so many persons getting a college degree, its value in the marketplace has plummeted. Many college grads are out of work, or they are working in a job that does not require a degree. Eventually, this practice of paying more and more, for something that is worth less and less, will collapse the system. Colleges and universities will not have enough paying students, and professors will not agree to a drastic pay cut. Overhead expenses are far too high.

All that is needed is an economic collapse, or partial collapse, to topple this house of cards. Many universities and colleges will be forced by economics to shut down.

2. Agricultural yields will plummet

The current U.S. agricultural system is based on the expectation of high yields. But high yields are obtained by high inputs — all the things that go into growing the crop, including lots of fertilizer, perhaps irrigation, herbicides, pesticides, labor, machinery. Then those high yields are sold and the money is then used to fund the inputs for the next crop cycle.

An economic collapse will mean that farmers will not be able to afford all the inputs needed for high yields. And when yields fall, the amount of money from that crop will be less. Then the next crop cycle will have even less money for inputs, resulting in even lower yields. And the process will continue — lower yields, less money, lower inputs — until many farmers are out of business and a food crisis results.

3. Violent crime will increase

When people lack money and food, they become desperate. And desperate people do desperate things. Theft and robbery will skyrocket, and people will be afraid in their homes, and afraid to go out in the community. Even a quick trip to the market will become risky. Sales of most goods will plummet, causing the economic crisis to worsen. Protests will turn violent. Home invasion robberies will become much more common. Many people will be killed or injured as a result of this increase in violent crimes.

4. Law enforcement will be overwhelmed

The law enforcement system in the U.S. is commercial. Officers are paid. We don’t keep a large excess of officers on the payroll, just in case crime sharply increases. So it is relatively easy for the system to be overwhelmed. And that means a call to 911 might not bring the police to your door in time, if at all. Those who have firearms for home defense will be much better off than those who rely solely on the police. But many households have no firearms. And that means that robberies will increase, and so will the economic damage and the number of injuries and deaths.

5. The healthcare system will be overwhelmed

The healthcare system is also commercial, and lacks a safety margin in the form of excess doctors and nurses. Hospitals operate at close to capacity. A sudden increase in persons who are sick or injured will overwhelm the system.

The aforementioned increase in violent crime will undoubtedly increase injuries. But it is less obvious that a disruption to the food production and distribution system will increase illnesses. Plenty of good healthy food is the first line of defense against illness. Malnourished persons are much more likely to get sick. So an extended disruption to the food supply will cause an increase in illnesses.

6. Travel anywhere will become dangerous

As a result of all the above described problems, travel will be dangerous. Want to make a quick trip to the supermarket? You risk having your house robbed, if it is left unoccupied. And you risk being attacked on your way back from the market. Robbers might wait outside the market and follow anyone who looks like they purchased a lot of food.

There will be protests in many places, and violence will often break out. People who are hungry and afraid do not make the best decisions. Then there is the cultural aspect of the situation. We live in a culture that tells us to expect the government to take care of us, and to protest whenever anything doesn’t go our way. Ironically, self-sufficiency is abhorrent to our narcissistic culture.

I expect that the roadways will be dangerous, as violent criminals will see travelers as easier targets than homes.

7. The death rate will jump higher

People will be malnourished because of the disruption in the food supply, so they will get sick more easily. Violent crimes and violent protests will result in many more injuries than usual. And yet healthcare will be much more difficult to access. There will be a shortage of hospital beds. It will be difficult to get a doctor’s appointment. There may be a shortage of prescription and OTC medications.

All of these factors will make life a riskier endeavor.

Now if you are a seasoned prepper, who has long considered the dangers inherent in an economic collapse, you may have anticipated some of the above consequences. But I hope I’ve added to your understanding of the possible problems that we may soon face.

During the Great Depression, women made up 25% of the work force, but their jobs were more unstable, temporary or seasonal then men, and the unemployment rate was much greater. There was also a decided bias and cultural view that “women didn’t work” and in fact many who were employed full time often called themselves “homemakers.” Neither men in the workforce, the unions, nor any branch of government were ready to accept the reality of working women, and this bias caused females intense hardship during the Great Depression.

The 1930’s was particularly hard on single, divorced or widowed women, but it was harder still on women who weren’t White. Women of color had to overcome both sexual and racial stereotyping. Black women in the North suffered an astounding 42.9% unemployment, while 23.2%. of White women were without work according to the 1937 census. In the South, both Black and White women were equally unemployed at 26%. In contrast, the unemployment rate for Black and White men in the North (38.9%/18.1%) and South (18%/16% respectively) were also lower than female counterparts.

The financial situation in Harlem was bleak even before the Great Depression. But afterward, the emerging Black working class in the North was decimated by wholesale layoffs of Black industrial workers. To be Black and a woman alone, made keeping a job or finding another one nearly impossible. The racial work hierarchy replaced Black women in waitressing or domestic work, with White women, now desperate for work, and willing to take steep wage cuts.

Survival Entrepreneurs
At the start of the Depression, while one study found that homeless women were most likely factory and service workers, domestics, garment workers, waitresses and beauticians; another suggested that the beauty industry was a major source of income for Black women. These women, later known as “survivalist entrepreneurs,” became self-employed in response to a desperate need to find an independent means of livelihood.”

Replaced by White women in more traditional domestic work as cooks, maids, nurses, and laundresses, even skilled and educated Black women were so hopeless, ”that they actually offered their services at the so-called ‘slave markets’-street corners where Negro women congregated to await White housewives who came daily to take their pick and bid wages down” (Boyd, 2000 citing Drake and Cayton, 1945/1962:246). Moreover, the home domestic service was very difficult, if not impossible, to coordinate with family responsibilities, as the domestic servant was usually on call ”around the clock” and was subject to the ”arbitrary power of individual employers.”

Inn Keepers and Hairdressers
Two occupations were sought out by Black women, in order to address both the need for income (or barter items) and their domestic responsibilities in northern cities during the Great Depression: (1) boarding house and lodging house keeping; and (2) hairdressing and beauty culture.

During the “Great Migration” of 1915-1930, thousands of Blacks from the South, mostly young, single men, streamed into Northern cities, looking for places to stay temporarily while they searched for housing and jobs. Housing these migrants created opportunities for Black working-class women,-now unemployed-to pay their rent.

According to one estimate, ”at least one-third” of Black families in the urban North had lodgers or boarders during the Great Migration (Thomas, 1992:93, citing Henri, 1976). The need was so great, multiple boarders were housed, leading one survey of northern Black families to report that ”seventy-five percent of the Negro homes have so many lodgers that they are really hotels.”

Women were usually at the center of these webs of family and community networks within the Black community:

“They ”undertook the greatest part of the burden” of helping the newcomers find interim housing. Women played ”connective and leadership roles” in northern Black communities, not only because it was considered traditional “woman’s work,” but also because taking in boarders and lodgers helped Black women combine housework with an informal, income-producing activity (Grossman, 1989:133). In addition, boarding and lodging house keeping was often combined with other types of self-employment. Some of the Black women who kept boarders and lodgers also earned money by making artificial flowers and lamp shades at home.” (Boyd, 2000)

In addition from 1890 to 1940, ”barbers and hairdressers” were the largest segments of the Black business population, together comprising about one third of this population in 1940 (Boyd, 2000 citing Oak, 1949:48).

“Blacks tended to gravitate into these occupations because “White barbers, hairdressers, and beauticians were unwilling or unable to style the hair of Blacks or to provide the hair preparations and cosmetics used by them. Thus, Black barbers, hairdressers, and beauticians had a ”protected consumer market” based on Whites’ desires for social distance from Blacks and on the special demands of Black consumers. Accordingly, these Black entrepreneurs were sheltered from outside competitors and could monopolize the trades of beauty culture and hairdressing within their own communities.

Black women who were seeking jobs believed that one’s appearance was a crucial factor in finding employment. Black self-help organizations in northern cities, such as the Urban League and the National Council of Negro Women, stressed the importance of good grooming to the newly arrived Black women from the South, advising them to have neat hair and clean nails when searching for work. Above all, the women were told avoid wearing ”head rags” and ”dust caps” in public (Boyd, 2000 citing Drake and Cayton, 1945/1962:247, 301; Grossman, 1989:150-151).

These warnings were particularly relevant to those who were looking for secretarial or white-collar jobs, for Black women needed straight hair and light skin to have any chance of obtaining such positions. Despite the hard times, beauty parlors and barber shops were the most numerous and viable Black-owned enterprises in Black communities (e.g., Boyd, 2000 citing Drake and Cayton, 1945/1962:450-451).

Black women entrepreneurs in the urban North also opened stores and restaurants, with modest savings ”as a means of securing a living” (Boyd, 2000 citing Frazier, 1949:405). Called ”depression businesses,” these marginal enterprises were often classified as proprietorships, even though they tended to operate out of ”houses, basements, and old buildings” (Boyd, 2000 citing Drake and Cayton, 1945/1962:454).

“Food stores and eating and drinking places were the most common of these businesses, because, if they failed, their owners could still live off their stocks.”

“Protestant Whites Only”
These businesses were a necessity for Black women, as the preference for hiring Whites climbed steeply during the Depression. In the Philadelphia Public Employment Office in 1932 & 1933, 68% of job orders for women specified “Whites Only.” In New York City, Black women were forced to go to separate unemployment offices in Harlem to seek work. Black churches and church-related institutions, a traditional source of help to the Black community, were overwhelmed by the demand, during the 1930’s. Municipal shelters, required to “accept everyone,” still reported that Catholics and African American women were “particularly hard to place.”

No one knows the numbers of Black women left homeless in the early thirty’s, but it was no doubt substantial, and invisible to the mostly white investigators. Instead, the media chose to focus on, and publicize the plight of White, homeless, middle-class “white collar” workers, as, by 1931 and 1932, unemployment spread to this middle-class. White-collar and college-educated women, usually accustomed “to regular employment and stable domicile,” became the “New Poor.” We don’t know the homeless rates for these women, beyond an educated guess, but of all the homeless in urban centers, 10% were suggested to be women. We do know, however, that the demand for “female beds” in shelters climbed from a bit over 3,000 in 1920 to 56,808 by 1932 in one city and in another, from 1929 -1930, demand rose 270%.

“Having an Address is a Luxury Now…”
Even these beds, however, were the last stop on the path towards homelessness and were designed for “habitually destitute” women, and avoided at all cost by those who were homeless for the first time. Some number ended up in shelters, but even more were not registered with any agency. Resources were few. Emergency home relief was restricted to families with dependent children until 1934. “Having an address is a luxury just now” an unemployed college woman told a social worker in 1932.

These newly destitute urban women were the shocked and dazed who drifted from one unemployment office to the next, resting in Grand Central or Pennsylvania station, and who rode the subway all night (the “five cent room”), or slept in the park, and who ate in penny kitchens. Slow to seek assistance, and fearful and ashamed to ask for charity, these women were often on the verge of starvation before they sought help. They were, according to one report, often the “saddest and most difficult to help.” These women “starved slowly in furnished rooms. They sold their furniture, their clothes, and then their bodies.”

The Emancipated Woman and Gender Myths
If cultural myths were that women “didn’t work,” then those that did were invisible. Their political voice was mute. Gender role demanded that women remain “someone’s poor relation,” who returned back to the rural homestead during times of trouble, to help out around the home, and were given shelter. These idyllic nurturing, pre-industrial mythical family homes were large enough to accommodate everyone. The new reality was much bleaker. Urban apartments, no bigger than two or three rooms, required “maiden aunts” or “single cousins” to “shift for themselves.” What remained of the family was often a strained, overburdened, over-crowded household that often contained severe domestic troubles of its own.

In addition, few, other than African Americans, were with the rural roots to return to. And this assumed that a woman once emancipated and tasting past success would remain “malleable.” The female role was an out-of-date myth, but was nonetheless a potent one. The “new woman” of the roaring twenties was now left without a social face during the Great Depression. Without a home–the quintessential element of womanhood–she was, paradoxically, ignored and invisible.

“…Neighborliness has been Stretched Beyond Human Endurance.”
In reality, more than half of these employed women had never married, while others were divorced, deserted, separated or claimed to be widowed. We don’t know how many were lesbian women. Some had dependent parents and siblings who relied on them for support. Fewer had children who were living with extended family. Women’s wages were historically low for most female professions, and allowed little capacity for substantial “emergency” savings, but most of these women were financially independent. In Milwaukee, for example, 60% of those seeking help had been self-supporting in 1929. In New York, this figure was 85%. Their available work was often the most volatile and at risk. Some had been unemployed for months, while others for a year or more. With savings and insurance gone, they had tapped out their informal social networks. One social worker, in late 1931, testified to a Senate committee that “neighborliness has been stretched not only beyond its capacity but beyond human endurance.”

Older women were often discriminated against because of their age, and their long history of living outside of traditional family systems. When work was available, it often specified, as did one job in Philadelphia, a demand for “white stenographers and clerks, under (age) 25.”

The Invisible Woman
The Great Depression’s effect on women, then, as it is now, was invisible to the eye. The tangible evidence of breadlines, Hoovervilles, and men selling apples on street corners, did not contain images of urban women. Unemployment, hunger and homelessness was considered a “man’s problem” and the distress and despair was measured in that way. In photographic images, and news reports, destitute urban women were overlooked or not apparent. It was considered unseemly to be a homeless woman, and they were often hidden from public view, ushered in through back door entrances, and fed in private.

Partly, the problem lay in expectations. While homelessness in men had swelled periodically during periods of economic crisis, since the depression of the 1890’s onward, large numbers of homeless women “on their own” were a new phenomenon. Public officials were unprepared: Without children, they were, early on, excluded from emergency shelters. One building with a capacity of 155 beds and six cribs, lodged over 56,000 “beds” during the third year of the depression. Still, these figures do not take account the number of women turned away, because they weren’t White or Protestant.

As the Great Depression wore on, wanting only a way to make money, these women were excluded from “New Deal” work programs set up to help the unemployed. Men were seen as “breadwinners,” holding greater claim to economic resources. While outreach and charitable agencies finally did emerge, they were often inadequate to meet the demand.

Whereas black women had particular hard times participating in the mainstream economy during the Great Depression, they did have some opportunity to find alternative employment within their own communities, because of unique migration patterns that had occurred during that period. White women, in contrast, had a keyhole opportunity, if they were young and of considerable skills, although their skin color alone offered them greater access to whatever traditional employment was still available.

The rejection of traditional female roles, and the desire for emancipation, however, put these women at profound risk once the economy collapsed. In any case, single women, with both black and white skin, fared worse and were invisible sufferers.

As we enter the Second Great Depression, who will be the new “invisible homeless” and will women, as a group, fare better this time?

Preparing to survive in a post-SHTF world is challenging. More than anything, we have to realize that we’re preparing blind. We don’t know what sort of disaster we’re facing or what the post-disaster world is going to look like. With those two pieces of information missing, it’s hard to know exactly how people will react and what they will do. Therefore, we must prepare for the worst.

There is a wide-ranging assumption that public servants will abandon their posts. I would have to say that this assumption is totally unfair. We live in a hurricane zone and my wife is a city employee. She and her co-workers are required to agree that they will stay on the job, protecting the citizens of the city and keeping city services running, both during and after a hurricane. While a few might abandon their posts if things get bad enough, most seem to be people who will follow through on that requirement.

But what about a worst-case scenario? What about in the wake of an EMP or other grid-destroying event, which would result in a true breakdown of society and the banking system; a situation where they would no longer be paid to do their jobs?

That’s a difficult question. For some, like my wife, their positions probably wouldn’t exist anymore. But the real issue here is emergency workers and law enforcement officers. We would greatly need their services in the wake of such a serious disaster. Would they stay on the job or would they feel they had to abandon their posts to care for their families?

There’s really no way of knowing the answer to that question until the time comes. It is a very individual question, so I imagine that some will stay, while others leave. Whether they stay or leave will largely determine whether they are friend or foe.

The Cops Who Stay on the Job

Police officers tend to be highly disciplined individuals, much like soldiers. In fact, many start out as soldiers, then move to law enforcement when they get out of the military. As such, they are largely people with a high regard for the law. Oh, there are the few bad apples; but despite stories saying otherwise, there aren’t many of them.

Those who stay on the job will be concerned with maintaining law and order in the worst of circumstances. They will also be subject to the politicians who are still in place over them. This means that if those politicians declare martial law, they will most likely enforce martial law, unless they believe that to be an unlawful order.

This could get sticky. As we saw during Hurricane Katrina, declaring martial law would probably mean they would be confiscating guns as well. That would put the police in the position of appearing to be the enemy in the eyes of any Second Amendment supporter. Whether or not they actually became an enemy would depend on how you, I and other gun owners would react to them. If we use force to reject their orders to turn over our guns, they will use force in response. That makes them our de-facto enemies.

The Cops Who Abandon their Posts

Some police officers may choose to abandon their posts, especially if they feel that their families are in danger. In that case, the question is what they will do to protect and care for their families. While there are very few bad cops out there, there is always the possibility that a cop will turn bad in such circumstances, out of desperation to take care of their families.

These people will be dangerous, because they will be able to present themselves to the public as law-enforcement officers, when in fact they are acting like criminals. There could even be some cases in smaller communities, where the police take over, much as warlords take over in times of anarchy. Should that happen, the police in question would be extremely dangerous.

It would be our duty, in such a case, to stand up against the police. But here’s the problem. How do you tell if what they are doing is in the public interest, or just in self-interest? If they are acting in the public interest, our duty is to support them, so we need to be sure they are the enemy, before treating them as such.

The National Guard

If military forces are called out to help gain control, it will be the National Guard, not the active military. US law prohibits the use of US military forces within the borders of the United States. Even if politicians in high places wanted to use the regular Army, it is doubtful that Army officers, all of whom know that prohibition in the law, would allow it.

But state Governors can call out the National Guard to help law enforcement in maintaining law and order. It’s not unusual for this to happen in the case of natural disasters. I would say that we should expect it to happen in a true SHTF scenario.

National Guard forces are US Army reserve soldiers and formations, which are “owned” by the governors of the several states. They serve a dual role, both as state owned military forces and reserves for the federal forces. If called out in a disaster situation, they could serve either to support law-enforcement or to provide disaster relief. In either case, they would be armed.

Should martial law be declared, it is highly likely that the National Guard would be called out. If guns are confiscated, they are the ones who would most likely do the confiscation. They would probably be as polite as possible about it; but if they decided to obey that order, they would do their best to fulfill it.

However, the National Guard, like other military forces, is made up of predominantly conservatives. There’s a very good chance that they would refuse an order to disarm the population. Military officers swear an oath to uphold the Constitution and they would likely see the disarm order as a clear violation of the Second Amendment. As such, it would be their duty to refuse that order.

UN Troops

Of all these options, UN troops is the most dangerous. Any decision to use UN troops would have to be made at the federal government level. Were such a decision to be made, the troops which would be brought in to help maintain civil order would not be American troops. They would be unfamiliar with our culture (other than what they had seen in movies) and unfamiliar with our laws.

To these troops, a firearm confiscation order would seem perfectly reasonable, especially when you consider that they would probably come from a country where they don’t enjoy our Second Amendment protections. There would be no appeal to them on the grounds of our Constitution.

Should this happen, refusing an order to turn over your guns would be dangerous. The only thing that would protect any of us is the fact that there is no federal gun registration. Even so, there are states which require a permit to own guns, as well as concealed carry licenses which many of us have. That would give them a starting point for where to look.

Getting into a battle with armed troops is foolish. In such a situation, the only practical recourse is to hide all your guns where they won’t be able to find them, with the exception of a few, which you could then allow them to confiscate, making them think you’ve obeyed the order.

Regardless of the specific situation we would end up encountering, chances are that any police or military forces which were still in operation, would be there as part of whatever government managed to survive. Unless such forces decide to go rogue, we can count on them being there to help.

That doesn’t mean they’ll be our friends though. Unless you know them personally, they will look on you with suspicion, just like they will everyone else. Anyone carrying a weapon openly will be suspect. That doesn’t mean that they’ll hassle you, take away your weapons, fire upon you or arrest you; it just means that they will be watching to make sure that you aren’t a problem that they need to deal with.

The best thing you and I will be able to do in such a situation is to keep ourselves below the radar, so that we aren’t noticed. If we are not noticed, hopefully we will be left alone.

Should orders go out to confiscate any supplies that are stockpiled, it would probably be a good time to put our bug out plans into effect. Hopefully, we’ll all have a cache of supplies elsewhere, so that when we lose the supplies that we have stockpiled at home, we’ll still be okay.

For as long as there have been people, there’s been famine. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors developed agriculture because, although most people’s diets actually got worse when they started farming, it was easier to build up the stores needed to survive a future shortage. Famines still happened, though; bad weather, disease, or pests could destroy the crops, and that usually meant starvation would follow. Famines are described in the Bible and the works of Greek and Roman historians. They regularly devastated Europe through the Middle Ages and as late as the 1840s, when blight ravaged the whole continent’s potato crop (not just Ireland’s) and killed over a million people.

What fewer people know is that famine has also reared its ugly head in the USA – and reduced some of the earliest settlers to squalor, degradation and finally cannibalism. It was an episode that threatened the whole idea of European settlement in North America; it also contains a lot of lessons for preppers.

The Optimists

Settlement of North America by English speakers goes back to the Virginia Charter; issued by King James I in 1606, it authorized English subjects to set up colonies in a swathe of land up the East Coast from what’s now North Carolina to well into modern Canada. Would-be settlers didn’t waste much time; an expedition was quickly organized, and set sail from Plymouth on December 20 the same year. On May 13, 1607 they landed on the coast of Virginia, and established a settlement named in honor of their King – Jamestown.

The original group of settlers was small and all-male, comprising 104 men and boys. They were adventurous, confident people, determined to build a life for themselves in a vast new land. They were also almost completely unprepared, and lacking many of the skills and supplies they would need to survive long-term.

These colonists were setting out to live in a place they had never visited before and knew little about. Surely they would have made sure they could survive in the worst-case scenario of what they would find there? Well, no. They didn’t.

Virginia was unsettled, but not totally unknown. Explorers had sailed along its coast and even landed there. The Jamestown settlers knew the land was inhabited, and that led them to make some dangerous assumptions. In the end, those assumptions would destroy the colony.

The colonists had no plan to make themselves self-sufficient in food, which any prepper knows is a basic survival requirement. Instead, they planned to rely on trade with the indigenous people, supplemented by some farming and occasional supply ships from England. That was a mistake. To compound it, they chose a settlement location based on how easy it was to defend. That’s an important factor in choosing a settlement, but it’s not the only factor.

Jamestown was located on a small island in the James River, separated from the mainland by a narrow channel. That channel made the island easy to defend, but it also meant there wasn’t a lot of game on it; the settlers couldn’t rely on hunting as a food source. Much of the island was also tidal wetlands, which couldn’t be farmed, and it was close enough to the sea that the water in the James River was brackish and undrinkable. As a place to build a self-sufficient settlement, it couldn’t have been much worse.

Despite its faults, though, Jamestown grew steadily for the next two years. Only 38 of the original settlers survived the first winter, but another hundred men joined them in January 1608. More arrived in October, including the colony’s first two women, and another 250 through the summer and fall of 1609. It seemed that Jamestown was a success – but that was all about to change.

The Fatal Food Supply Mistakes

Jamestown was situated on land that belonged to the Powhatan tribe, and relations between Chief Powhatan – father of the famous Pocahontas – and the settlers had often been tense. However, by mid-1609 personal respect between Chief Powhatan and leading colonist Captain John Smith had brought a truce, and the Powhatan tribe was the main source of the colony’s food.

Unfortunately, in August 1609 Smith was badly injured in a gunpowder explosion, probably an assassination attempt. His wounds were too severe for the colonists to treat, so in October – with winter approaching – he left for England on one of the ships that had brought more settlers. The leadership of the colony was taken over by John Ratcliffe, who didn’t have Smith’s knack of dealing with the natives, and Chief Powhatan decided to end the truce.

Chief Powhatan’s strategy was simple. He’d been observing the settlers since they arrived, and knew how precarious their food situation was, so there was an obvious way to force them to leave and get rid of the colony on his tribe’s land – starve them out.

Supply ships from England throughout 1609 had brought several hundred new colonists, but they hadn’t brought a lot of food. Most of the rations that had left England had been on a ship which separated from the supply fleet in a storm and ended up wrecked on Bermuda. Jamestown had pinned all its hopes on buying food from the Powhatan, and now that source was suddenly cut off.

To make matters even worse, a drought in the summer had wiped out almost all the crops in Jamestown’s small farms. Granaries and root cellars were virtually empty. Now, deliveries from the Powhatan stopped and the tribe began killing any settler who ventured onto the mainland to hunt. Jamestown went into the winter of 1609/10 with close to 500 residents, but stores to feed barely a tenth of that number until spring.

The Starving Time

Most of Jamestown’s early history is well enough known; settlers kept diaries, wrote letters home and sent reports to the Virginia Company and the King. In fall of 1609, though, the historical record suddenly goes dark. There are few detailed accounts of what happened in Jamestown between Captain Smith’s departure for England on October 4 and the arrival of two ships from Bermuda on May 23, 1610. Why? Probably because nobody who lived through that winter in Jamestown wanted to talk about what they did to survive.

The accounts that do survive tell of desperate measures. A few Indians were still willing to supply small amounts of food – but only in exchange for essentials that the colonists wouldn’t normally even consider trading. In early winter, many Jamestown residents gave away the tools they needed to build, farm and work at their trades. Some even traded the weapons they needed to defend themselves. It still wasn’t enough.

For archaeologists, rubbish heaps are a gold mine of information. Plant remains and household rubbish can tell us a lot about how people lived in the past, but few things are more informative than animal bones. If your dog dies and you’re not very sentimental, you might throw its body in the trash – but you won’t joint it first. That winter, the people of Jamestown were cutting up their dogs and throwing the bones in the trash. By that point the horses had probably all been eaten, and when the dogs were gone cat and rat bones started turning up in the rubbish heaps. Unable to hunt, the colonists were eating every animal they could get their hands on. But soon the animals were all gone, too, and at that point truly horrible things began to happen in the starving settlement.

Dark rumors about the colonists’ desperation have made it into the history books. There are tales of freshly buried corpses – and there were many burials that winter – being dug up overnight and butchered for meat. A husband was supposedly burned at the stake for killing his wife and hiding her salted flesh in his house. Foraging parties came back a man short, and some of them probably weren’t killed by Indians. These were all just stories, though. Then, in 2012, proof was found that the people of Jamestown really did resort to eating each other.

Cannibalism has happened often enough in human history that archaeologists are familiar with the distinctive cut marks left on the bones of victims. When the skull, jawbone and one leg of a girl aged about 14 were found in the cellar of the old Jamestown fort, where the colonists sheltered from Indian attacks that winter, archaeologists examined the remains for clues to what killed her. What they found was gruesome – she’d been butchered with an ax or cleaver, and the flesh cut from her bones with a knife.

There’s no possibility that this luckless girl was cannibalized by the Powhatan and her remains retrieved later; while the Indians pillaged parts of the settlement, the fort was held by the colonists through the winter. The girl hadn’t been given a decent burial, either. Her remains were found mixed in with a jumble of other bones, including a horse, dogs and squirrels.

Did hungry colonists kill the girl for food, or strip away her flesh after she died of some other cause? We’ll probably never know. But, once the taboo against eating human flesh has been broken and the recently dead consumed, it’s not such a big step to start wondering which of the living could be eaten next.

Being Prepared

The Starving Time of 1610 is a horror story from the distant past, but it contains lessons no prepper should forget. The colonists’ biggest mistake was not being self-sufficient in food. They survived for a while on outside sources, but when those sources were cut off by conflict with the Powhatan and winter storms in the Atlantic, starvation became inevitable. If you plan to survive long term, you need to ensure that you can feed yourself from sources you control and that you have reserves to keep you going if crops fail or you’re under siege for a while. Otherwise, you could end up as a footnote in some future archaeologist’s paper about 21st-century cannibalism.
