There has always been a struggle over resources down through history. When any resources become scarce or cost too much like oil and food do now, it is inevitable that there will be trouble. Since the cost of oil and food is totally out of control worldwide it seems, those in countries with the most money and influence will tend to come out on top.
Strangely enough, one of the countries that is best positioned worldwide right now is Brazil. They decided in the last 10 years or so to completely convert over to sugarcane based ethanol as a fuel. So, as a result they are not having the kinds of problems that most of the rest of the world is because they grow almost all their own fuel. So as long as they are consuming food grown in Brazil they don't have to pay the extreme prices for fuel or food paid elsewhere. Because of this they might not go into a major recession like the rest of the world appears to be now because of seemingly uncontrollable fuel and food costs.
Maybe there is a lesson here for the rest of the world. Countries that prepare for the inevitable survive well and those who don't don't survive well or maybe not at all!
As I mentioned in another article "Truth" is the most valuable survival commodity in the world. Since there appears to be so little of it in the world press anywhere, the most likely people to survive all this in the end will be the ones who are able to find out the real truth and to act on it so they and their families can survive whatever comes!
