New Executive Order – food, gas prices to skyrocket

Reblogged from bunkerville

Here is a White House Executive Order that should raise the price of food and gas to be prohibitive. Enough rules and regs and most businesses bend under the weight. An outright ban? Not sure about that, but farmers will bear the cost and burden. We will no doubt end up riding bicycles and foraging for food if Obama has his way.

Just as Stalin starved millions in the Ukraine as part of his consolidation of
power this administration with Obama as it’s figurehead are planning on
starving their intended subjects into submission.

Obama issued an Executive order on August 1, 2013 that will effectively ban Ammonium Nitrate in the USA. It will become too expensive and create too much possible civil and criminal liability to manufacture, store, or transport it.  Clinton did the same thing to Anhydrous Ammonia dealers in 1999.  It put most Anhydrous dealers out of business.  Obama is imposing the same regs and adding explosives regulations on top of OSHA and EPA regulations.  It’s all there if you know how to read bureacratese.

Tannerite will probably be banned outright as soon as DHS & BATFE finish making policy based on this E.O.  Whether or not they can criminalize it I don’t know.  You can count on it being taken off the market though.  The government has had it’s sights on Tannerite for a long time now.

Food and Fuel prices will skyrocket because Ammonium Nitrate forms the basis for almost all nitrogen in granular fertilizers used in American farming.  There are no cost and ease of manufacture/use equivalents for ammonium nitrate.  Supply and demand economics are going to be the harsh lesson of the day.  Crop yields will go down.  Corn is the basis for the American food supply and the fuel additive ethanol.  A.N. is critical in corn production.

This is my take on the first step in the E.O. to gain control of this commodity. Always a pilot program first.

(a) Within 45 days of the date of this order, the Working Group shall deploy a
pilot program, involving the EPA, Department of Labor, Department of Homeland  Security, and any other appropriate agency, to validate best practices and to  test innovative methods for Federal interagency collaboration regarding chemical  facility safety and security. The pilot program shall operate in at least one region and shall integrate regional Federal, State, local, and tribal assets, where appropriate. The pilot program shall include innovative and effective methods of collecting, storing, and using facility information, stakeholder outreach, inspection planning, and, as appropriate, joint inspection efforts.
The Working Group shall take into account the results of the pilot program in developing integrated standard operating procedures pursuant to subsection (b)  of this section.
