Yeah but if you skip ahead towards the end you will see that it is just a scare tactic to get you to buy their book which costs $50. Not saying it may or maynot be true, but these sorta things usually string stuff together to create a sense of impending doom, fear mongering, just food for thought, but it did seem to explain alot though.

Not a hoax, so much as it is a classic piece of advertising. It's not a bad idea to read the book, as nobody can really foretell the future and sometimes, most times even, things happen that surprise most people. The so-called Jasmine Revolution was one. I expected something like this, but not so soon. Unfortunately for the poor, the hikes in food prices are not likely to end any time soon. This is mostly due to the stimulus spending in Washington as well as QE1 and QE2. Remember that the price of most international trade goods is still denominated in dollars. What this means is that any change in the supply of dollars will be, sooner or later, reflected by a rise in all prices. This idiot President we have has increased the money supply something like 200%. The last time something like this happened was in 1979, not a stellar year for the US. In fact the best way to help the poor is to have a stable money supply because that doesn't decrease the value of money: dailyreckoning.com/stable-money-supply-the-real-way-to-help-the-poor/Whenever you increase the supply of something, the value of that something falls. This can be good, say, in food prices, where more people can afford more food. Or it can be bad, say, in money prices, where the value of each unit of money decreases as the supply goes up. In the end, that is what is going to tank the US.
