Just got back in from shopping and it has started once again, folks are panic buying, people are sensing that something big is coming perhaps, we saw a lady in Lidl tonight trying to buy several packs of toilet roll and was refused more than two packs, she made such a commotion you would think they were not making any more.
The recent round a -bout of lockdowns is having the expected effects and people are gearing up for a run on commodities all around these parts, TPTB truly know how to manipulate the paraigm don't they.
Has anyone else noticed any trends upon these lines?

yes, we noticed it in Costco on Monday, the great toilet roll panic had returned, but thankfully, Costco had placed a limit of 1 pack, which is still 45 rolls ffs.
People are pre-empting a second lockdown I think, and panic buying now.
I noticed a lot of out of stocks in the pasta and cereal aisle yesterday in Sainsburys near me.
I still cannot get my head around the toilet roll stashing, but sadly the madness will only get worse due the media over-hyping the increase in cases and local lockdowns.
Can you imagine what it will be like at Xmas???

The early signs of neigbours stealing from others has surfaced, several of our local cottages in our tiny square have been bought up already, of the ten houses only two remain actual locals, the rest are owned by people from mid and South country, some have two houses here and are preparing to get out of dodge as the saying goes.
There is an urgency with a few of our close freinds to begin planting their own gardens and the local farmers are not leaving their wintering stock animals too far away from their home base.
Xmas is going to be a lockdown I reckon, to push people over the edge, TPTB are truly going for broke on this one, what on earth have the cabal got over on them, in their little black book, mind boggles.
I have never seen a small closely knit community so divided as right now.

Two and a half years later and there is still a sense of unrest in the air, a few of our close neighbours who moved into our area from Southern regions of the Uk are selling up already, our community is still feeling the effects of the lockdowns.
Shops in town who began a new venture have already closed and only the best small shops are managing to stay afloat of the situation, a few have downsized in order of staying in bussiness and moved into the council run indoor market because the overheads are much cheaper than the high street, ten pounds a day for a single stall, many are selling cheap rubish from china and other wares, our pound shop is now closed.
In my trade, motor trade, spare parts are getting harder to obtain and if you cn get them they often take weeks, ebay is also very slow overall, the manufactured scarsity is really taking its toll of how we function, whie the banks have all cosed but Barclays who are down to one staff and due to close themselves very soon.

When last summer there were these scary stories about rising COVID hospitalisations, I was afraid that from December to March we would once again get masks, social distancing, vaccination passports and an ever changing lockdown (with changes every couple of weeks).
But nothing like that over here in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. No scary stories about COVID cases, no lockdown, and a very small amount of idiots going outside masked (I estimate less than 1%).
It's almost like they're planning an even scarier pandemic (something like ebola).
There are however some scary stories about the rising inflation and poverty (besides WEF Young global leader Putin). This seems more real to me than the plandemic ever was (and of course just as planned!).
When people are "hoarding" now in the supermarket it's about getting a special deal...
Other than that it's interesting that since the plandemic was started, there has been a huge increase in people openly talking about conspiracy theories. Before March 2020 this was very rare over here. I don't believe that this will lead to anything good though.
The "conspiracy" minded herd can easily be pacified with "peace protests". All the more so, as they can always give us "controlled opposition" whistleblowers to distract us and hide the real scandals...

What we have seen recently in Lidl are signs saying, When its gone its gone and inflation running at around 50 percent in real terms compared to the pre lock down era.
We are definitely being prepared for something that many will end up supporting instead of fighting, food and prices is a visible weapon, scarcity is another, many items now take twice as long to arrive due to strikes and availability, as vendours and or sellers ditch the items that are now not in high demand, thus the de-sellection is also part of the bigger picture.
In the Netherlands, one has a system highly adapt at production and one that can supply, that is why the powers need to slow things down to a level where you will need to import more than you export, it is a tried and tested technique to stagnate the economy, once we cross a certain point you cannot function and survive.
The war is on the people themselves and their ability to adapt, in a nut shell, that they are trying to crack wide open.

We were shoping at LiDl recently and spotted a sign in the special offers isles saying when its gone its gone, is this some kind of programming perhaps, or merely a conspiracy, but it certainly sticks in the sub consciousness.

It seems the world trade wars are now ramping up to cut off several staple and global produce, India has just banned rice exports and stoped wheat exports earlier.
Those who study history know that hot wars follow trade wars, and the seeds of doubt have already been sewn with Ukraine of late, as the world begins to get hungry all common sense is thrown out the window.
The speculators are gearing themselves up to make astronomical profits from all of this, one such family is the Royal in the Uk, their wind farm rental payments are due to come in early next year doubling their payments from land rent where the windmills are situated.
