Here's why, a must read for all Americans:

http://www.infowars.com/worse-than-healthcare-gov-ebt-food-stamp-system-crash-is-inevitable-heres-why/

Mike Adams of Natural News has written a well-thought out piece of what's coming down the track. It's all laid out and on point.

If you haven't started prepping by now, I suggest you start - seeds especially, food, essential items and home security.

This is getting all too real, the writing is on the wall.

And even for us non Americans, it's coming sometime to us soon. (Unless the ptb have their sight on Australia as some kind of ark, with us as their serfs).

Not the same but is along those lines ... actually could be very much more imminent (if true).

Just posted this elsewhere and adding it here.

Let's set aside a debt default for the moment.

The government shutdown itself I don't think too many people (myself included) were real concerned about. Inconvenience to some sure but ...

Just came across something that could get *real ugly* (if true) and not too far away if the shutdown continues.


States have (allegedly) been getting notified to suspend November foodstamps until further notice.

Stop and think about that in lieu of what just happened last weekend.

50 million families are on foodstamps (rightly or wrongly ... another topic).

Not a terribly reliable site but I followed the Utah link to a local newspaper confirming the story.

Take link to see the (alleged) scanned image of the USDA letter to states.

Update! Shock Report:

Food Stamp End Coming In November?
Tuesday, October 15, 2013 5:27% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Update: The USDA is directing states to NOT issue November food stamps according to the letter directly below. Remainder of story including a brand new video from Dahboo77 are below.:

States across America have been warned that food stamps may not be coming in November and to now prepare for fallout should no agreement be reached on the US government shutdown. With riots being threatened already on Twitter and elsewhere should food stamps not be accepted any longer, how will millions of Americans who depend upon food stamps survive and is this the apocalyptic ’end game’ we have all been waiting and preparing for? People are already warning that they will ‘steal’ and ‘do whatever they need to do to survive’. Is this our 72 hour notice? Video report below.

States across the country are being told to stop the supplemental nutrition assistance program for the month of November, pending further notice.

That’s according to a letter from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Fox 13 obtained a copy from the Crossroads Urban Center in downtown Salt Lake City. Crossroads says if Utah families don’t get food stamps, they’ll turn to the local food pantries, which are already strapped due to the government shutdown. Homeless people Fox 13 talked to, some who use SNAP, say losing food stamps would mean going hungry.

“This is going to create a huge hardship for the people we serve here in our food pantry,” says Bill Tibbits who is the Associate Director at Crossroads Urban Center.
They posted a letter from the USDA on its Facebook page. It says in part, “in the interest of preserving maximum flexibility, we are directing states to hold their November issuance files and delay transmission to state electronic benefit transfer vendors until further notice.”

“What this means if there’s not a deal, if Congress doesn’t reach a deal to get federal government back up and running, in Utah about 100,000 families won’t get food stamp benefit,” says Tibbits.

People out on the streets like Richard Phillips says, “It could impact us and it’s going to cause problems because you’re going to come to find out that people are going to steal and do what they have to do to survive.”

“People out here are going to go without food,” says Loralee Smith whose been homeless since August and says the uncertainty is making her uneasy about where her next meal will come from. “I’m on food stamps, I don’t know if I’m going to get them, a lot of people are on food stamps and they don’t know if they’re going to get them.”

Yes I read that today too, Calz. Like you say, don't know how authentic it is.

The link to the Utah Fox news appears legit ... that's as far as I checked. If it, in fact, is being implemented nationwide there will be screaming loud and clear at any moment.

Here is the story regarding the state of Utah which seems to add some legitimacy ...

Who knows?

Utah families on food stamps could be cut off soon

States across the country are being told to stop the supplemental nutrition assistance program for the month of November, pending further notice.

That’s according to a letter from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Fox 13 obtained a copy from the Crossroads Urban Center in downtown Salt Lake City. Crossroads says if Utah families don’t get food stamps, they’ll turn to the local food pantries, which are already strapped due to the government shutdown. Homeless people Fox 13 talked to, some who use SNAP, say losing food stamps would mean going hungry.

“This is going to create a huge hardship for the people we serve here in our food pantry,” says Bill Tibbits who is the Associate Director at Crossroads Urban Center.

They posted a letter from the USDA on its Facebook page. It says in part, “in the interest of preserving maximum flexibility, we are directing states to hold their November issuance files and delay transmission to state electronic benefit transfer vendors until further notice.”

“What this means if there’s not a deal, if Congress doesn’t reach a deal to get federal government back up and running, in Utah about 100,000 families won’t get food stamp benefit,” says Tibbits.

In other words, tens of thousands of Utah families may not be able to feed their children come November.

People out on the streets like Richard Phillips says, “It could impact us and it’s going to cause problems because you’re going to come to find out that people are going to steal and do what they have to do to survive.”

“People out here are going to go without food,” says Loralee Smith whose been homeless since August and says the uncertainty is making her uneasy about where her next meal will come from. “I’m on food stamps, I don’t know if I’m going to get them, a lot of people are on food stamps and they don’t know if they’re going to get them.”

Others say if SNAP shuts down, they’ll find a way to feed themselves.

“There’s always food pantries to go to, to get food,” says Mason who is homeless and relies on food stamps. However, Crossroads says there’s no way they could handle the increase if food stamps go away.

“We’ll be affected because if people, if a family doesn’t get food stamp benefits, they’re going to come here,” says Tibbits. “Wee can’t, there’s no way we could deal with it.”

The local pantries are already feeling the pinch because WIC, a federal program which provides baby formula and food to families in need has been affected by the shutdown. With SNAP on the chopping block temporarily, Crossroads fears their shelves will soon be empty

Well ... the odd thing is most all went to "region 3" (around Washington DC and surrounding area) as well as some to Texas.

There are/were also a much higher concentration of "drills" in the region 3 area.

Make of that what you will ... food stamps going offline would be nationwide.
