Get ready for massive grain rallies and higher food prices as a monster El Nino develops

Do yourself a favor and open a commodity account or get long some of these commodity ETF's like the Teucrium family of funds' CORN, SOYB, CANE and WEAT.

Data from ocean-observing satellites and other ocean sensors indicate that El Niño conditions appear to be developing in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Conditions in May 2014 bear some similarities to those of May 1997, a year that brought one of the most potent El Niño events of the 20th century.
During an El Niño, easterly trade winds in the Pacific falter and allow giant waves of warm water — known as Kelvin waves — to drift across from the western Pacific toward South America. Surface waters in the central and eastern Pacific become significantly warmer than normal, altering weather patterns and affecting fisheries along the west coasts of the Americas. El Niño also can have a significant influence on weather and climate far from the tropics.

You can make BIG money here (especially in Ag futures) if this developing El Nino produces the effects that it did in the late 90s.

How A Family Went A Year Without Sugar - Could An Industry Lobby Go A Year w/o NeoLiberalism?

How An Australian family went a year without sugar
There are those who cannot instantly reason by analogy. So let's challenge them to simply practice doing so, in small steps.

Start off imagining that NeoLiberalism is synonymous with Corporate Welfare.

After all, even Albert Einstein said that imagination was far more important than knowledge, or even logic.

Now, imagine the MICC keiretsu surviving a year w/o ... well, all the MICC policy incest!

Go ahead, just imagine something along those lines. See, you can do it. It won't break anything. Now imagine many things, and then start selecting any of those novel thoughts which actually are unexpectedly supported by available evidence. It's called pattern recognition.

See! You're actually THINKING!!! Anyone can do it. Even writers from San Francisco with PhDs. :)

Now just do a equally simple exercise every morning, with your yoga. Start small and ramp up, so you don't overload your amygdala and panic. Before you know it, you'll be able to easily & instantly model changing circumstances, dynamic systems .... EVEN CHANGING CONTEXT!!!

Can't hurt to try. You may eventually even see your animosity to change transformed to open curiosity. Acquiring the habit of quick thinking is what all teamwork begins with, regardless of what those team skills are applied to.

Now back to the subject. Why can't some country today go a year without NeoLiberalism? Why not OUR country?
