This sounds like it is starting and coming our way!!!___________http://www.handsoffvenezuela.org/law_against_hoarding_speculation_2.htmNational Government will execute Law against Hoarding and Speculation By Agencia Bolivariana de Noticias Friday, 01 February 2008 Caracas, Jan 31 (ABN).- The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela will execute the Law against Hoarding and Speculation for those businessmen trying to create an irregular situation with the food chain products. The statements were made this Thursday by the Vice-president of the Republic, Ramón Carrizales, after a private meeting with National Assembly deputies, as well as the Minister of the People's Power for Interior and Justice, Ramón Rodríguez Chacín. He said it was a short but productive meeting, “where we talked about the reform of the Executive Oredr Law against Hoarding and Speculation, where it is established severe sanctions for those that fraudulently rig supply controls”. Carrizales pointed out that a People's Supply Commission was created to be in charge of the execution of this law, which will be led by the Ministry of the People's Power for Light Industries and Commerce. Regarding the immediate measure to be applied in order to solve the situation, he stated that the first step has been to attack those people hoarding food products trying to get an artificial increase in their prices. The Vice-president also stressed that Government is making easier for those people importing products that are not produced in the country and looking for a solution to some deficiencies at the agricultural sector. Regarding the situation at the border, Carrizales said that big storage warehouses are being used for hoarding purposes, especially at San Antonio del Táchira (Venezuelan city at the border with Colombia). “There is not a real shortage. It is something created artificially to make people nervous”. Carrizales assured that food products seized at the borders are being distributed in the region and they have been distributed at places where the people can get them. “People can not allow others manipulate them with this perverse tendency of frighten consumers to generate fear”, he said.

This is in Venezuela - as I said earlier, this is going on in a couple of

countries - where people REALLY do have problems getting the food they

need. This is right after that article you sent about something that

happened in 1918. So, if you want to believe it's happening now,

even though there isn't one shred of proof, start storing some stuff up.

I would, but we have no place to store it. When we move, I'll be sure

there is someplace to store some things. One never knows what can come

up. Weather - whatever. But, why try to make everyone scared of something

I can't see as a real possibility in the U.S.? At least not anytime in

the near future. There is a HUGE difference between the way those

countries are and the U.S.

Food hoarding is illegal in Venzuela, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe - there

may be more, but there is a theme here. Not one of these places has

anything to do with the way things are in the U.S. Think about their

government. The abject poverty they have - Look who is leading Veneazua -

Chavez. You might want to compare what happens in Venezula with what

happened in Russia - that's a closer comparison. But, as most people

know, comparing the way things were done, and are even now being done in

Russia is like comparing apples and oranges - they're two totally

different things. Name me any socialist or communist countries who don't

have issues with food, among other things. Hmmm, then we have Afghanistan

- the poppy capitol of the world. They ought to have plenty of money and

have plenty of food, but hmm, for some reason, they don't....Wonder

why?

Oh, and then IF Canda, institutes Martial law, food hoarding would also

be against the law. I wonder what the likelihood is of Canada instituting

Marital Law?

I really don't understand why you keep pushing this, when NO ONE has been

able to offer one iota of tangible proof. Nothing. Anywhere - except a

couple of people who keep trying to say something's happening when it

isn't. Can't we focus on issues that really are happening?
