Resource Shock

The Shock Plan for Getting Ready – Scenarios

We have now reached the point where the answer to the preparation question, is ‘it depends’. Each one of you is different. Each of you has different abilities and challenges. Each of you has a different responsibility. Each of you has a different calling from God. And, that means that how you respond to disaster will be different. Furthermore, there is more than one disaster coming our way. The financial disaster that looms over us is just the first of many.

Undeniable Fact 3 – Global Resource Production Has Stopped Increasing or is Declining

Understand the reason why Egyptians are killing each other. They do not have enough to eat. Over half of their daily calorie intake is imported, and we are already seeing Egyptian children with stunted growth and stunted mental development.
