After DECADES of hammering my farmer cousins to Prepare for another Great Depression... I just learned that the 3 siblings have Sold their homes (with 5 acres each) and have purchased (free and clear) more land with 2 houses already and are building a 3rd house. The banks are Not thrilled as ALL of this: land, houses, out-buildings, equipment are All debt free. It is the first time since our Grandparents time that these farmer families are debt free.
“Hi, I’m from the government and I’m here to help”. The ONLY solution to that is the 1st Amendment if that goes well and the 2nd Amendment.if it doesn’t.
@@georgeorwell3501government are. The enemy of the people government is to big it's crowding out private investment banks are enemies of the people aswell everyone needs to get to know their local farmers and strike up a friendship 😊
My grandparents planted 4 acres of garden and grew everything they needed , I inherited there property and i`m getting it ready to plant again , tractor gets rebuilt next week.
Doing similar here, in Australia. We have 100 acres not far out of Melbourne and have never grown a crop of anything other than thistles on it. I recently bought a Zetor 7245 tractor/loader needing some work (hydraulic leaks and brakes not working). I'm well into the repair work already and bought some useful implements such as a post rammer, grass Slasher, Harrows, and Cultivator. My sister started running a small flock of sheep and with dad being a retired butcher a few have already made their way onto the dinner table. We intend to get our veggie garden/greenhouse happening soon. P. S. I lost my job in April 2020 and hope to find work soon. I blame our government (not the virus) for the shutdowns and consequent economic impact.
I appreciate your information. My great grandmother was born in 1899. She said I would live through what she survived. Her advice was toilet paper, v8 juice and pineapple juice to keep scurvy away, grow your own food, learn sewing, knitting and crocheting, keep way negative people, and stay positive. And live well below your means and stock up food and can food for winter. She died at age 95 I am from Michigan. She told me the truth as we are living this right now. From the suburbs of Atlanta, GA USA
My nana said this. “Stock up a dry food storage for 1 year supply for each member of the house to foresee you through the growing period of your garden” “Buy grains, barley wheat and rye for bread and porridge” “Buy fruit trees, oranges, limes, lemons, apples, olives, nectarines, cherries, this will keep vitamins high and also help with preserving and changing the ph of soil if needed” “Grow all herbs and spices, this is Medicean and will aid you to pickle your food” “Grow all types of vegetables, mark the seasons, have two plots, one for growing and one for priming for the next season with waste and compost” “Learn to filter water, this will keep you hydrated” “Grow medicinal plants, this will take away pain” “Do what my mother did, grow a community garden out the front of your home, allow people to work it and take supplies, keep the back garden for yourself, teach people how to collect and grow seeds so your community can grow and survive”
That clip of milk being dumped always kills me. Soup kitchens with no food and what there was off a dairy is dumped. Just dumped. The depression that proceeded the Great Depression is almost unknown. Government doesn’t want you to know about it because it was short only because the government stayed out of it. Less government is THE ANSWER
In the age of abundance more people are dying of complications related to too much food consumption as opposed to too little. The biological programming to eat whenever food is available is now detrimental to human health, leading to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and ultimately an early death.
Stay your asses in the city unless you're ready to fight. I don't want to have to kill a bunch of scarecrows trying to take what I've stored up for my family.
@@Network126 This lesson from the past is not about leaving the city. It's about not counting on anybody else to save you. If the financial system collapses, the government won't be able to help you, no matter how much they say they will. You are the only one responsible for saving yourself. God knows ain't no kumbaya when shit hits the fan.
@@Network126 We are on the verge of hyperinflation. I would suggest transforming your fiat into different kinds of assets, such as gold and bitcoin. It's no coincidence the price of bitcoin is shooting up hand in hand with the money supply. The smart money already knows if they hold fiat, very soon they will have to use their entire net worth to buy a meal.
Then again more information is available widely and globally. All you need is a public tablet or computer and access to WiFi and tell me one trade, skill, course or language you can’t learn for free.

These are from my dad's writings. He passed away a few years ago. He was born in 1925. My grandparents(his parents) farmed a mile south of Dunrea, Manitoba in Canada. In the Dirty Thirties: "We used to hire men to help with the stooking and then keep them to help with the threshing later. And where did we get the men? Off the train! The train came everyday from Winnipeg and every day it was loaded with men, not riding in the train because they had no money but riding on top of the train by the dozens. When it got to Dunrea, 140 miles from Winnipeg, there were still usually 15 to 20 men on the roof of the train. They would get off the train and start walking into the country looking for work. We lived on one of the main roads out of Dunrea, so quite a few men took that road. The train got into Dunrea about 4:30 or 5 o'clock. By the time they had walked as far as our farm it was just about suppertime. The men would come in to our place to ask for a job, so that was how we got the men we needed. Of course we couldn't hire all the men that came but we could feed them and that's what we did. We fed hundreds of men in the 30's. We, also, had a bunk house that had 2 or 3 beds in it. That's where our hired men stayed. And if there was any room that's where the men off the train could sleep. In the morning we would give breakfast and they went on their way."
Thank you Neil. My late father, born 1912, told me as a child what his family had to do to survive the 'great depression'. One story: when the family mule died, my father's mother hitched him to the plow; there was no money to buy another mule or oxen. He was 18/19 years old, and, you guessed it, strong as an ox. As she steered the plow, my father pulled it, like a draft animal. He would always cry when he told the story. If they had not done that, there would have not been a garden and they would have starved to death.
As soon as the lockdown started in March I rented a land share and started growing vegetables and fruit. You could see it coming a mile away. Anyone here watch the Ice Age Farmer channel?
I have a brexit barrel 10 percent of every food shop goes into the barrel. 3 years now. And i practice with the contents to find out what works. Things like anchovies go a long way with endless rice.
jimmie200 I'm worried about the banks. I knew an elderly man ten years ago who grew up during the Great Depression. He told me that his family has a small farm; chickens, a few pigs, a substantial garden that they lived off of. Once a year after they would butcher pigs, they sold the meat, then kept the breeding pigs. His mom would take the money they made to the bank and deposit it for the items they could not make, like flour, salt, clothes, etc. There were rumors going around that the banks were going to close. His mom gathered their yearly deposit and went into the bank. She spoke to the president of the bank, telling him of her concerns of the bank closing. He assured her they were solvent and that she was hearing rumors. She deposited the money. Two days later, the bank closed, just locked the door. The Depression started. No one could get any of their money out of the bank. One year later she got her money back, but she got pennies on the dollar. It was almost nothing. He said if they didn't have their garden, the chickens and pigs for meat, they would have starved to death. He said people did starve to death. This is what concerns me, the banks. They aren't going to tell us.
How many hours research? Three hundred!😯 Wow! All I can say Neil, is: brilliant job! And... Sounds a lot like today, doesn't it. Oh dear me... Thank-you, Neil,for your magnificent effort with this podcast!🤗 It is timely, educational, and very, very relevant to what is going on right now, in the third decade of the 21st century. Brilliant job!😀👍👏
My pop was born 1910 in Wagga Wagga Australia. During ww1 they had to hunt rabbits for food and went bare foot because they grew out of their shoes. WW2 was another kick in the guts. He said that we were headed for it all again and that it would be worse this time because because of how ignorant, weak and dumb this generation of people are 🥺
The dumbing down of the populations is intentional and has been on a fast tract for about 50 years. They have a long plan and we're often manipulated into following along because we're too busy surviving or trying to 'keep up with the Jones' as portrayed by TV shows, movies and advertisements.
@@happygardener28 it seems we have been trained to be dependant on companies rather than ourselves.Everything is made to be unfixable or difficult to fix.so called green companies like tesla do everything in their power to discourage home mechanics and even punish those who do it. The virus has trained us to comply on mass.
Canada here: My elderly neighbor told me this; During the Great Depression, he was around 10 yrs old and lived near the Exibition Stadiums Toronto. With tears in his eyes he told me that him and his friends watched flatbed trucks dump bodies of people who had starved to death in the bldgs. We are in worst shape than during the great depression, thank to our corrupt government.
Governments always start wars when the economy collapse. When this hits; we will be going to war. War will not be like other wars. It will be bio and weather wars. No one will be safe. It may end our civilization. All governments are going to pull out all this high tech that has been repressed and it will blow our minds... what they have. Nuclear may occur; but honestly ,all nations want the land for growing food and to own. They are not going to destroy it.. they will try to kill us off with other means and then vaccinate their people and walk in and populate. Get close to Christ and get ready.. this pandemic was from a lab and either released or got out accidentally.. but still man made. They were trying to develop an vaccine for AIDS and SARS and it got into the Chinese population. I heard stories of over 30 million died before the first wave ended. We now have two new mutated viruses and they are now saying the vaccine will not prevent you from getting these... and they don't know if it will even help you... Get your ph balanced, eat right, stay clean, and practice good exercise and eating habits. If you have your Ph levels right, exercise right to keep your body cleansed and take your supplements you should be safer. .
@@rebeccashetter8389 We had chinese scientists at a bio_lab in Winnipeg, Canada actually got caught taking the Ebola virus back to China.We also had 42 kg of Carfentinel found in Ontario that the govt said wasn't a security risk,one grain of this could kill you.
According to the latest research papers published in the US, starvation during the Great Depression made people healthier and those people lived longer after all.
My grandfather turned 99 this past Sept. Born 1921. And lived through it all. he worked for the CCC in the late 1930s. He still lives alone and takes care of himself Thank God and can recall everything perfectly. We are from the MOuntains of Western North Carolina, US. He has said many times they, our family, and any else they knew who lived in small rural towns (less than 2,000 people then and now) if they did not grow their own food they would not have eaten. He like many served in WWII. he was a screaming eagle who bombed & helped clear Utah beach for our invading troops. He has said over and over it is all lining up the same just a different time. Everything is looking the same.
Also, there are some interesting interviews on TH-cam with people who survived the concentration camps in Nazi Germany.... They are all ringing the alarm bell too...
@@RedSpiralHandTV here's a statement from a very old lady who survived the horrors of the nazi camps. She was asked, "Do you think the world will ever experience the likes of it again", she replies "yes if people dont question things, if people just accept everything their told, yes the world will experience it again but on a much larger scale and we will all be complicit in it. Depopulation by sinister & cunning means.
My History teacher always said history runs like a wheel. The same problems in the past always happen again in the future. This is true as most people don't want to learn from the lessons learned by our for fathers. Thank you for this interesting video. Greetings from South Africa.
I'm a new subscriber from Indiana- US. My mom was one of 9 children. Born in Texas in 1927. She said she was 20yrs old before someone explained that they had been living in a depression. Her family were migrant workers that picked cotton and lived along the side of the road was common. Rarely had shoes. Cookies were their Xmas gift. Sugar was so hard to find. She passed almost a year ago. She knew what was happening and told me to prepare for anything. Thanks mom for being such a great mentor and friend. Oct. 2022- SHTF is around the corner.
My great grandpa planted potatoes between the sidewalk and street. He put nets in the trees and caught birds to eat. Remember 4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie
Both of my parents lived thru the depression. My dad was born in 1908 and my mom was born in 1915. I won't tell you how old I am. Neither of them wanted to tell us anything about the depression. They would mention bread lines when we didn't like what was put before us at dinner time. My dad only gave us one story. He said that there was no work. Men would stand around a work site and when one of the workers keeled over from exhaustion and dropped his shovel, the first one in the ditch to grab it, had the job. My mother was born and raised on a farm in Kentucky. They had food for the table but nothing else. The only story she ever gave us was when a family came thru the area. They had nothing. My grandfather let them live in a shed on the farm for a time. My mother said her family gave them a large tin of peanut butter and the makings for biscuits. She said you could live on peanut butter. Those are the only stories they gave us.
Go long peanut 🥜 butter. High in protein, high in fat. Not else what else it's high in but it might be a good idea to keep a couple of extra jars in the pantry. And stock up on biscuit making supplies.
My grandmother went through it with flying colors. She took in military men. There was no place for 5hem to stay. They gave her all th3ir rashons. She didnt want for anything.
This is fascinating! Thx so much for all your work on this Neil. Years ago I found a newspaper from 1930 in the attic of a house I lived in...I read the whole thing. There was no mention of the stock market crash, no mention of financial hardship at all. No one was aware yet what was about to happen to them, even though the wheels were already in motion.. I think about that a lot now.
I work in agriculture. With a small stack of Silver and a good stash of seeds, agricultural implements, a workshop to make or fix anything. I have spent 12 years relearning old skills and learning new. Many of my friends are farmers. 2008 was a warning for me which I took very seriously. GLA.
@@cyclop1972 2008 for me. After more than a decade as a network administrator and five years running my own business. I decided that agriculture would be the last business to fall. For the last 30 years I have studied many subjects, if the collapse is going to happen, let it be in my time, so my grandchildren don't have to suffer the pain. GLA
I haven't gotten that far watching this, but this is what happened here in the U.S. a few months ago. Since the schools and restaurants closed, the farmers decided to throw away good milk and turning over good food crops. All the while, food banks are experiencing miles' long lines. A very sad waste of resources.
@@dogfacedponysoldier5971 - Part of the economic cycle, it happens every 8-10 years, when the rich exchange their worthless dollars for something more tangible, like land and property...

Thanks Neil, just found your channel. I came of age in the mid 80’s, raised on consumption, urban affluent background. My parents didn’t repair, mend, grow their own food. I don’t have any of these skills either. I have sold up, down sized and moved to the country, I don’t have debt, and are eliminating cost: Solar panels, battery storage, electric vehicle, and thanks to you tube I’m planting my first ever garden. The information and analogies to modern day are enlightening. I feel that I’m on the right track without even knowing it…
My grandparents told me of an out of work architect who sold pens and pencils etc just to get by . They would buy a few (unneeded) items from him . After the depression he came over to thank them both , he would not of survived without them buying a few of those paltry items .
Thanks, Neil! My father was born in 1931. He was the youngest of 4 children. He grew up hearing that his mother wished he'd never been born - she didn't want any more children. (his next oldest brother was born in 1929 - probably before "The Crash".) His father died when he was 20 months old, leaving his mother a widow with 4 children. She received a small monthly death benefit, but it was much less than his salary. He was a lineman for Edison Power and Electric in the Phoenix area. He was struck by lightning while fixing downed power lines. The grief and strain affected her the rest of her life. They ate lots of rice and beans and cornbread. They only ate meat on Sunday - usually fried chicken. When I was growing up, my dad often cooked fried chicken on Sundays. I can only guess what it represented to him.
Since the beginning of the pandemic. I've been telling my family that I feel like there's another depression coming in the next couple of years. I have a sense about things, unfortunately don't know how to use it. After seeing this, I more sure of it coming. 😭😭
When you listen to your grandparents and your mother and father who were born before the great depression and throughout the great depression you will have the best information about what the great depression was like to live through. How do I know this is because I did ask about what they had lived through and how they would be able to take care of themselves. From what they had said to me I am telling you that we are now facing the same thing starting to happen again yet this time the depression will be much worse.

Spot on ! Finally someone who understands what is going on, this is a direct consequence of many things, including and especially Reagan's "Primacy of finance" theory (and dogma) that was 'successfully' implemented in his administration. Which turned Lincoln's preference for labor over capital upside down. It actually started before Reagan with Nixon's destruction of Bretton Woods to allow sudden and steep valuation changes in currency, rather than the gradual curves that Bretton had encouraged. Gradual changes tend to benefit producers and the "real economy" as you succintly put it, while rapid erratic changes are to the benefit of parasitic non-productive speculators, generally working with inside information. if not root manipulation of currency values as we saw in the Long Term Capital Management debacle of the late 90's. The mess really was oput on steroids by Reagan. And this neo-liberal policy thrust has been continued under every subsequent administration since. Reaching a zenith with Bill Clinton signing the disasterous repeal of Glass Steagal towards the end of his 2nd term. A law that had sensibly, and effectively banned mergers of investment banks and insurance companied with FDIC insured main street deposit banks. Helping to prevent major economic crashes from 1934 to 2008. The resulting 2008 crash directly related to neo-liberal dereguation like repeal of GS. There is opposition that has arisen to this insane policy of "feeding the malignant cancer all the economic blood of society" on both the right (Ron Paul) and the left (Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren) among others. But when that opposition starts gaining traction, the propaganda surges big time in the corporate media controlled by the cabal you identify so well. Labeling anyone who opposes this scam - dal style policy 'insane' or 'extreme' ... the ultimate height of chutzpah and projectionism. The metrics of the result of this "paradise for parasites" policy can be measured many ways, perhaps best by the share of Gross Corporate Profit (GCP) captured by banks, and financial institutions. In1980 that share was 17% of GCP, which was more than justified by the minimal value such institutions added to the economy already. But by the time they had crashed the economy in 2008, their share had ballooned to a truly mestastatic 42% ... a number that is at least as high if not higher today. THis insanity is completely unsustainable, but the propaganda power of it's purveyors is so strong I fear that we are doomed to remain in it's grip. Watching the tent cities grow, while real estate is artificially inflated beyond affordability by the 'RE' arm of the aptly labeled 'FIRE' and real compensation stagnate for all the productive sectors of the economy by the stranglehold of the 'FI' arm... as Lincoln's financial adviser Henry Charles Carey eloquently put in the 1860's "Banks make good servants, but they are terrible masters'" THANKS for your response. will read. As lucky STEM Boomer, it has taken me some time to get a handle on the fraudulent economics. I was oblivious to the wholesale gutting of our middle class. Wolff and Hudson shine much needed light on the "REAL ECONOMY" I was puzzled by the term unearned income, it extends deeply into corporate America. For me it was the 5% year over year targets, but they did not apply to employee income, only to management and stock holders. They turned "employee satisfaction" around 180 degree to mean "employee engagement", How can we make you feel good while screwing you. Merry Christmas. Stay safe.

My maternal grandfather was an engineer . He settled for a 3-day-a-week job at Buick building cars. My paternal grandmother was sleeping on the floor of a friends rooming house for free with newspapers for blankets. My father was in a children’s home. The millennial generation is in for a seriously bad shock.
Many people are confused about starvation, they think that starvation is no food until you drop over, which it is but it also people who get sick and die because of malnutrition( not enough vitamins).
Some imagine starvation to be that you miss a few meals and you keel over at a later date to then die peacefully in your sleep, however, the first thing to go is your mind and how quickly you can solve problems as a lack of nutrition takes over to the brain. Then comes the constant pains and stomach grinding as it begs for food, people who are half strayed are easily controlled ask Starlin, you are constantly cold and you will find it hard to sleep, the list goes on.
I moved to the countryside just over 2 years ago because I saw this coming. I grow a lot of my own food in containers so it doesn't look like a vegetable garden and can be brought inside if things get really bad.
I wanted to add this because it might make just one person think outside the box as it pertains to food. Here in Australia it is summer and normally that means lovely stone fruits including peaches and plums a plenty in the stores, but not this year. Sure the fruit ripened but because the COVID situation has changed regulations surrounding numbers of persons able to work not only picking the fruit sorting and boxing them safely, as well as the backpackers who would normally pick the fruit have been unable to do so. THIS is the SAME as during the last Depression and simply means that this increases the cost of the available fruit and creates shortages in the marketplace. As of a fortnight ago almost 40 MILLION tonnes of fruit was destroyed and buried underground so far this year. What a travesty! The hunger is already HERE and people are finding it difficult to make ends meet as it is but it is going to get MUCH WORSE! Now I'm 56 and I have a disability and I walk with a stick but I have collected many kilos of fruit from homes and businesses who have trees but don't want the fruit. I live in a small rural community. I know it sounds ridiculous but I have over 10 kilos of peaches which cost me nothing and I have made jam, relish and I'm about to can some in syrup. Next weekend I'll get some more. The agricultural store in town had 3 plum trees loaded with fruit that was falling through the cracks in the fence and I was treading on it. I went in and asked permission to pick the fruit for jam. I made 3 trips there and I must have got 40 kilos of plums, some of which I couldn't use, but it didn't cost me anything but time and energy. Last night I was walking in the back lane behind my property and I found a pear tree where underneath it was about 30 kilos of pears lying on the ground and much had been eaten by birds but some was ok. I bought a wheelbarrow full of fruit from that ONE tree home and today I will dry some of it. I picked the rest of the fruit off the tree and I must have another 10 kilos from that. I also ended up with apples which had started to fall to the ground and become bird feed. The property is currently unoccupied but I have left a note giving details they can use to contact me. I COULDN'T allow that waste to happen. Guess who's making apples and mint jelly today? I have to take painkillers so I can stand up to do this work but NOTHING is more important than preserving the food we have NOW for tomorrow. Many,many more will be hungry a year from now and the cost will continue to increase exponentially. I also have a large garden, and the gardens of the Depression were known as Victory Gardens and sometimes those gardens prevented starvation. It won't take long for the food in those warehouses to run out when more than 100 million people are desperate to feed their families. Look around your own neighborhoods and ask the owners if they want money for their fruit or barter and offer some preserved fruit for them. We are ALL going to be hungry. Please get prepared TODAY!
You alone, in all your efforts, represent what it means to know and feel blessed by God's abundance. Just look around ! It's everywhere right? Anyway no preachy teaching here..Just BRAVO for your wisdom, insight and productive response to a dire situation ahead!! God leads and provides the way if we live for him today!
@monicaburton7230 Dear Monica, it was strange seeing your reply and then rereading a comment which I wrote over 2 years ago and seeing what has been seen to be true within. Here we are in mid 2023 and grocery prices just continue to increase, but I am afraid that give it another 12 months and not only would the prices have gone up again but the supply will have decreased and we will be under rationing. If only most people Monica KNEW just how MUCH food has been intentionally destroyed these past few years they would be HORRIFIED! It's an absolute abomination what those in power have done to farming and the food supply. Here in Australia it's winter and it IS cold but at least THIS winter I can put the heating on, but I might not be able to next year because electricity prices are going to keep rising while supply is diminished intentionally. Thank you Monica for your kind words and for reminding me of what I said back then and my Heavenly Father still watches over me and blesses me with abundance. I'm no longer very mobile and I am booked in for a hip replacement in early September. I'm very slow but I try to do as much as I can each and every day! God bless you and your family! Praise God for He IS faithful.
I’m in the building trade in England. I did a job for an elderly lady whose family have owned a dairy farm for generations. She told me she was a little girl at the time of the Wall Street crash, and at the time they had to find new and inventive ways to hide the produce. At night starving raiders would come looking for it.
The bets thing one can do is start your back yard gardens. Plant simple crops such as Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Spinach and other vegetables that produce within a month. Have some rain harvesting barrels etc
The entries were depressing and sobering. My father was born in 1940 and never talked about depression because he was born into a family that tried to scrape by. His siblings were born in 1929, 1931, and 1933. My dad experienced times when he felt neglected because he was the last one born. I asked my aunt and uncles about their childhood and my about grandparents. They did not give much detail other than to say that my grandfather was a quiet man who kept his feelings to himself, while my grandmother constantly worked odd jobs to support the family. I realize they come from a generation where feelings are suppressed and not discussed, unlike today. I know that my dad's upbringing shaped the type of person my dad became since he became the first member of his family to earn a college degree. He became an engineer who worked at Lockheed Martin for 30 years. He preached the value of a college degree while he always told me to save. My mother knew how to save money because she came from poverty and discrimination to become a self-taught bookkeeper. My point is that an event that could happen 100 years ago can be felt for generations. Events that happen in a person's life impact who they become. Respectfully,
Mark, thanks for sharing your story. My late father who passed away this year in March 2020 at the age of 90. He was born in 1930. He spent hours talking about his childhood and the tough times. Before he passed away, he said the 1929 Depression was bad but the coming downturn will be worse with the governments using a mask to cover up the downturn.. So I think my late dad would call the economic downturn ; The covid19 depression.
City societies have been sterilized to where the food on the shelves come from. I grew up in the mountains of northern Idaho and our food came from wild game that my Dad shot either with a gun or bow and arrow which he was very good at both. My Mom knew how to make that meat last for a year at a time for a family of 5. She foraged from the land and canned food too. Today my childhood girlfriends still go hunting and can food while I’ve become accustomed to buying my meat in a store...i no longer live in the mountains and us city dwellers are all screwed.
When the depression started, the bank called my grandfather’s mortgage. Even though he had never missed a payment, he was told to pay off the mortgage or the bank would take the house. Actually, the bank didn’t want the money, they wanted the house. Fortunately, grandpa had a job driving a two-horse hitch on the hills of San Francisco delivering groceries. His boss lent him the money to pay the bank. For the rest if his life, Grandpa hated banks and kept his money in the top bureau drawer. His daughter, my mom, graduated high school in 1932. Experienced adults couldn’t find jobs, teenagers had little hope. So mom went to the best dress shop in Alameda and offered to work for free for one year. Occasionally, the owner would give her a dress that hadn’t sold. But at year’s end, mom knew everything about retail, from bookkeeping to window dressing.
Thank you, Neil, for this excellent presentation. I am 75, ex UK; my parents and grandparents lived through the depression, and it is very interesting for me to listen to this chronology of events. Dancing to exhaustion: blood sport, not that different from the Roman arenas! History is not linear: it is cyclic.
I love history and this was quite the eye-opener. My grandparents owned a farm and my mom, her sister, and 9 brothers worked the land. They churned butter, milked cows, had fresh eggs and butchered pigs, and goats. They also grew their own vegetables. They never went hungry. This was quite the eye-opener. I know you put out this video a year ago but it seems things are starting to play out with food shortages, fires at food processing plants, and cattle and poultry being killed. I live in the city but have been prepping for a few years, stocking up on food. I have a garden and grow vegetables. I think many people are not aware of what's coming. I have tried to warn family and friends but I'm a conspiracy theorist. You just can't make them drink the water when you lead them to a natural spring. They just don't get it. Thank you for taking the time to make this series. It was excellent!
I have been watching your channel for a few months. This is your most powerful work to date. I congratulate you and thank you profusely for the time and dedication to research you give freely to us all. God bless you.
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words - this has been a BIG & difficult project for me to produce, so thank you, it means a lot to receive your appreciation.
Farmers were already dumping milk on the ground in March of last year, here in the States. Restaurants were shutting down, and there wasn't enough small packaging to make their unused milk available to grocery stores. A pity we couldn't have ramped up cheese production to utilize the surplus. In the 1980s government warehouses gave away tons of cheese in 5lb. blocks and free boxes of powdered milk to anyone who stood in line, regardless of income. That was back when we still had politicians with foresight, who had lived through the Great Depression. To paraphrase an old saying: Those who can't remember history are UNABLE to repeat it.
@@bobbybob713 Yes, God will not come to save anybody who didn't believe in Him. God will come to save every body believed in him and did God's will on earth.
@@thepositiveside2197 Lol When is he coming?! People have been saying that for a ages. I say god doesn't give a crap. That god is evil. He permits slavery, rape, genocide, killing women and children, ethnic cleansing, against free will, puts people to death for not worshipping him on a sabbath, child abuse.
This was very enjoyable. It's also worth analysing the actions of Wall Street in this crisis - in many respects they catalysed and accelerated the crash, in order to execute one of those upward transfers of wealth we've become familiar with in the past couple of decades. They picked up companies for peanuts, bought out farms and properties for pennies on the dollar. The millions who suffered, who starved, who died - they were just collateral damage.
Thank you for your hard work in making these videos. I grew up in the 50's and my mom was very frugal. At the end of the week we had a stew made up of the weeks left overs. She washed and saved tin foil. She saved bacon grease in a coffee can. Mom sewed and darned socks. Nothing it seems was wasted. My dad had a small vegetable garden in our tiny back yard. Mom canned. And we lived on the out skirts of the city. That was common then. My parents remembered the Depression.
The next depression will be MUCH worse: Lower morality Lower ethics Less real life skills Less resilient More tender Less hardy More anger Lazier Expect government to save them. The list goes on and on. Matthew 24:8
One big difference. In the 30s churches were full the moral fabric was strong, today the combination of immorality and social media we would have chaos in the likes we have never seen before.
Agreed. There is alot happening at the moment, some of which has happened in the past, but never all of this stuff together at the same time. God Bless everyone.
Depressions are engineered, we have decades of lending encouraged, then the depressions hit and the wealthy buy up more property cheap. These super wealthy are also linked to the lending...they win both ways.
I am 64 years old from a small village in southern India in the midst of westron ghats.Now I live in Bangalore. We went thorough great hardship from 1972-1977 and there were days we have to go hungry.The family with 5 children.I had to leave studies and started job at age 18 in postal department and with great difficulties continued studies and worked in State bank.This episode relates to my story and I become emotional.Thank u Neil for bringing it
I am glad we are retired and not depending on a paycheck right now. Even though we were born in the 50's, we were raised by survivors of the Depression. I believe we are much more selfsufficient than most.
If you "depend" on SSI you are dependent on the government. We've all paid into it..it is not an entitlement. But our Government has robbed the fund blind.
In the 1930's the Government ABANDONED the people. It's a historical fact that they said the burden falls to local communities to feed the people. Many starved.
@@NeilMcCoyWard I feel already now abandoned by the government. With this corona hysteria and all it’s restrictions and rules, my business is destined to fail
Just watched this again with a friend and see it's still very relevant. I appreciate all the research you've done. I am a member and continously find your material pertinent. Thank you.
My grandmother's father (she is still alive - 90+) hated FDR for what he had the farmers do - between slaughtering pigs and crops while others starved. Also - I am looking into rural + land for food and shelter; 2020 has taught me not to trust the government for anything - other than taxes. And yes... we are likely heading towards a Great Depression IMO.
You ain't gonna be buying any land...the Governments are ready to take everything we own!.... your money is next to disappear... blackouts on and off with 5G and smart meters...you will soon be owned and managed by your Governments, or not, as all Governments will be disbanded due to all the civil unrest that is going to be unleashed on every country by the 1% elite in their country side retreats away from the cities.... everything we do will be as the New World Order says, or else face loosing your entire livelyhood and existence, all down to having your chip in your hand is switched off!!... Covid 19 and 21 is real and the vaccines are real, real bad!.... Love and Peace 🙏❣️
Thank you for the hours you spent, very important information. My dad was a little boy during the Great Depression. I was expecting this, this month I pay off my mortgage, 16 years early by living as if poor. I bought 1/3 acre in the middle of nowhere and have been converting it into a food forest/vegetable gardens. Added many wild edible because most people don't know you can eat them. I keep getting cards with a Google map views of my property, along with offers from real estate people. I have zero interest in selling.
Thank you for this video. Eye opening. Everyone needs to find their own path to become as independent as possible. Don't rely on the Banks, Govt and pensions for your life. If you reach a level where you don't care about them then you will find your path to freedom.
Don't lose heart people... we have hydroponics and hanging gardens that can be planted on the side of buildings and vertical hydroponics in your apartment by a window. We have grow lights for closet gardening. We have small quail that can be raised inside an apartment and this will give you eggs and meat. The roofs of high rises can be used to raise chickens and pigeons. We can do this.. as communities. The high rises have acres of outside hanging and planting wall space. Water collected on the roof will enable you to water the plants. We can do this... learn, learn, learn. and share what you learned with others. Take care and stay safe.
This reminds me of Illinois. People are moving out of Illinois (especially the Chicago area) because of high property taxes. And that's probably not the only place.
Has anyone heard of or tried using UCC-1 filing? New territory for me. It is one of those things when you go to go research there are some that say it is legitimate & others who call it (& anything surrounding it) a conspiracy theory. That alone makes me think it is worth the research. The fact that the form is on government website & it is not widely known about makes it even more interesting. Hopefully it can (and will) be used for our good (for a change). Good luck everyone ❤.
Buy gold or silver or both, think about it as savings that gives over time, the dollar may not stay strong for long, but with silver or gold as an aset you can sell the precious metals for the current value of the dollar and pay you taxes, during a economic crisis. So lets say you have cash saved up ($25,000) and the dollar looses 50% of its value that will mean that your savings lost $12,500 dollars in purchasing power now you need to come up with another $12,500 at that moment to make up for what you lost, now say you buy silver, last year where silver was about $15 dollars an ounce now it value is $27 dollars an ounce that's a $12 increase in one year, the dollar index last year was $95 and change now the dollar index is $89.77 thats a lost of $6 and change of purchasing power of the dollar, back in the recession of 2008 the dollar index dropped as low as $70.69 while silver hit $35 an ounce and gold hit $2000 an ounce so people that had precious metals in any form be it, jewelry, bullion, silverware etc, or even teeth fillings they were ahead of everyone else that had no precious metals at all and they were the ones that kept their homes and road the waves safely. Hope I made some sense here and stay save, and remember if you don't hold it you dont own it.
I have been reading The Great Depression Diary by Benjamin Roth great book and while reading I was really struck by the similarities from that era to now. I have tried to prepare as much as possible (no debt, own home, precious metals, stay out of stock market -except a bit in gold stocks) but even my husband doesn't realize how bad it will be. The time is has never been better for people to find reliable news sources and to be cautious with their $$. Peter Schiff, zerohedge and of course Neil will help.
I’m in the U.K....my husband thinks I’m mad saying we are in a sinking ship world wide. I’m so worried coz all our savings for retirement are in the bank and pension funds....do you think I should buy gold and silver now ??
Thank you for reposting this three part series about the depression. You say that the depression in our future will be worse. I don't doubt it. I wonder if you could do a brief update soon and reiterate your opinions; it has been two years since you created the series and I'd like to know when you think the next depression will happen. Thanks, Neil. God bless you and yours, too.
My parents grew up during the depression. Children often had to work because of illness in the family. One thing you didn't mention is there were no welfare or social service program, not in Canada anyway. The only things people received were bags of grains or flour. Flour bags were made into blouses or underwear. Families were separated by high unemployment. Men were hopping trains and working at any job to pay them in dollars or in food and shelter. One story I remember clearly was about a man away working who got regular letters forwarded on to him from his wife. Thinking something happened to his family, not receiving letters he quit his job. When reaching home he found that his wife had only money to make the last loaf of bread for her children, or buy the stamps for the letter.
And sheep busy buying crap from Amazon, watching MSM news rubbish and trimming up their social media accounts.... Everything tends to come as a "full surprise". Except that this time once they´ll wake up they will be in for a huge shock.
it has taken me some time to get a handle on the fraudulent economics. I was oblivious to the wholesale gutting of our middle class. Wolff and Hudson shine much needed light on the "REAL ECONOMY" I was puzzled by the term unearned income, it extends deeply into corporate America. For me it was the 5% year over year targets, but they did not apply to employee income, only to management and stock holders. They turned "employee satisfaction" around 180 degree to mean "employee engagement", How can we make you feel good while screwing you. Merry Christmas. Stay safe.
I grew up in Soviet Union. Everything we are, we grew in my grandmother's garden. I mean, everything. We canned everything, had underground food cellars, dried berries, forged mushrooms etc. At school we were though something like home ed, were girls were thought how to cook, pluck chickens and ducks, knit, sew....you name it. I am not worried. To this day, I still do some of the stuff.
I wonder why they never include these events in schools. I, really, feel your work should be given all the support from various academic institutions and translated to many languages because it's a ground breaking work that I intend to view many times. Well done, Neil.
In Southern California, there is a rash of commercial buildings being burned down. Also vacant commercial strip malls are being demolished--no hope for them ever being rented out. The only new commercial/industrial buildings being built are warehouses.
Neil after seeing the videos, I purchased and read this book. I can honestly say it was a very eye opening about what is happening today. I want to thank you for introducing this book to me keep up the Good work thanks Joseph.
I see that many family members, adult children are now moving back with their folks. I would urge all to start a garden, learn how to sprout and feed yourself. Even start with a large pot by a window and start growing something. So many youtubes to show you how.
Third time watching....It's all coming true. Watched it first two years ago. It's like fine wine, it just gets better. Thanks for military service but even more importantly for you humanitarian contribution. People need to know this!
What you read here is exact effect of sanctions when US imposes it on another country. Speaking from first-hand experience from 1993-2000 in Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) with sanctions having exactly the same effect on the civilian population.
While I don't like taxes either. They are used to provide, roads, fire departments, police, schooling (back when it was worth something), waste collection and such. We as citizens need to start keeping a tighter watch on the politicians and their policies, but too often we are too busy just getting by.
@@happygardener28 I agree. Property taxes in particular seem to be a necessity. I'm just saying that if people can't work and earn enough money to even pay their property taxes, then the government can take the property away from them. Something we need to keep in mind.
I have heard many stories from my grandparents about how they lived on cucumber sandwitches growing up during the depression. My grandmothers toes were crippled her entire life because she had to were shoes that where way too small for years because it was all she had to wear.
An old man showed me a photo of his family in the thirties. Only the father had shoes. The girls wore dresses made from flour sacks. He said they were all dressed in their finest for this portrait.
My great grandmother lived through this time in rural north georgia. She said it was dark times her dad lost their farm to the bank and he worked all day for a jar of honey. She never had a bank account. She didn't complain but their was alot of things she didn't share about that time. Her dad committed suicide a couple of years into the depression.
My father born 1911, was 18 in 1929, and lived his entire 20’s struggling for a living. He always said the history books lied, in the cities crime was horrific and many died of starvation, particularly elders. The soup and breadlines were not enough…
Thank you so much for this research. 🙏 My first reaction is anger: 😡 These situations are cruel, senseless, and unnecessary. How can governments be so stupid and heartless? I am a psychologist, but still cannot wrap my head around it, even as I see much of it about to reoccur. God help us all. 🙏

After DECADES of hammering my farmer cousins to Prepare for another Great Depression... I just learned that the 3 siblings have Sold their homes (with 5 acres each) and have purchased (free and clear) more land with 2 houses already and are building a 3rd house. The banks are Not thrilled as ALL of this: land, houses, out-buildings, equipment are All debt free. It is the first time since our Grandparents time that these farmer families are debt free.
Your cousins are going to be local heroes in the community in my eyes they are heroes now
One of the most important lessons you must learn in life to survive is that the government is not your friend!
That's why they called the system demoncrazy. It produced governments that are madly against its people.
“Hi, I’m from the government and I’m here to help”. The ONLY solution to that is the
1st Amendment if that goes well and the
2nd Amendment.if it doesn’t.
Agreed 👍 government is the enemy of the people
@@georgeorwell3501government are. The enemy of the people government is to big it's crowding out private investment banks are enemies of the people aswell everyone needs to get to know their local farmers and strike up a friendship 😊
My grandparents planted 4 acres of garden and grew everything they needed , I inherited there property and i`m getting it ready to plant again , tractor gets rebuilt next week.
That’s wonderful. You are wise.
Doing similar here, in Australia. We have 100 acres not far out of Melbourne and have never grown a crop of anything other than thistles on it. I recently bought a Zetor 7245 tractor/loader needing some work (hydraulic leaks and brakes not working). I'm well into the repair work already and bought some useful implements such as a post rammer, grass Slasher, Harrows, and Cultivator. My sister started running a small flock of sheep and with dad being a retired butcher a few have already made their way onto the dinner table. We intend to get our veggie garden/greenhouse happening soon.
P. S. I lost my job in April 2020 and hope to find work soon. I blame our government (not the virus) for the shutdowns and consequent economic impact.
How is the tractor?
@@immaculateorganicsoaps3533 Still waiting on the mechanic to pick it up , it is hunting season ,and these guys are working about 8 hrs a week
Damn lucky you.
I appreciate your information. My great grandmother was born in 1899. She said I would live through what she survived. Her advice was toilet paper, v8 juice and pineapple juice to keep scurvy away, grow your own food, learn sewing, knitting and crocheting, keep way negative people, and stay positive. And live well below your means and stock up food and can food for winter. She died at age 95 I am from Michigan. She told me the truth as we are living this right now. From the suburbs of Atlanta, GA USA
My mum lived through two world wars and taught me the same, being frugal is in my DNA.Stock up on rice, lentils etc.
Also gather, dry and store edible weeds. Often very nutrition rich :)
Priceless!
Wow my great grandpa was the same and he also died at 95! I'm also from Michigan, my family owned Superior Fish in Royal Oak.
My nana said this.
“Stock up a dry food storage for 1 year supply for each member of the house to foresee you through the growing period of your garden”
“Buy grains, barley wheat and rye for bread and porridge”
“Buy fruit trees, oranges, limes, lemons, apples, olives, nectarines, cherries, this will keep vitamins high and also help with preserving and changing the ph of soil if needed”
“Grow all herbs and spices, this is Medicean and will aid you to pickle your food”
“Grow all types of vegetables, mark the seasons, have two plots, one for growing and one for priming for the next season with waste and compost”
“Learn to filter water, this will keep you hydrated”
“Grow medicinal plants, this will take away pain”
“Do what my mother did, grow a community garden out the front of your home, allow people to work it and take supplies, keep the back garden for yourself, teach people how to collect and grow seeds so your community can grow and survive”
That clip of milk being dumped always kills me. Soup kitchens with no food and what there was off a dairy is dumped. Just dumped.
The depression that proceeded the Great Depression is almost unknown. Government doesn’t want you to know about it because it was short only because the government stayed out of it. Less government is THE ANSWER
I was brought up to never throw food away. Always use it towards another meal. It shocks me how people throw food away.
It drives me crazy in my own home.My daughter will make food and eat it once,I end up eating leftovers for a week.We have become greedy and entitled.
Same here, I work at red lobster and we replate all the time
@R Hood right!? Ew
In india its how I have been raised .. never waste food.
In the age of abundance more people are dying of complications related to too much food consumption as opposed to too little. The biological programming to eat whenever food is available is now detrimental to human health, leading to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and ultimately an early death.
"Many who stayed in the city, waiting for government relief, starved to death"
Always take your future into your own hands, folks
I can believe it 100%
Stay your asses in the city unless you're ready to fight. I don't want to have to kill a bunch of scarecrows trying to take what I've stored up for my family.
What are we supposed to do then? Take over and steal some land to grow food on?
@@Network126 This lesson from the past is not about leaving the city. It's about not counting on anybody else to save you. If the financial system collapses, the government won't be able to help you, no matter how much they say they will. You are the only one responsible for saving yourself. God knows ain't no kumbaya when shit hits the fan.
@@Network126 We are on the verge of hyperinflation. I would suggest transforming your fiat into different kinds of assets, such as gold and bitcoin. It's no coincidence the price of bitcoin is shooting up hand in hand with the money supply. The smart money already knows if they hold fiat, very soon they will have to use their entire net worth to buy a meal.
Back then there were so many tradesmen and people knew how to do things and fix things. These days nobody knows how to do anything anymore.

These are from my dad's writings. He passed away a few years ago. He was born in 1925.
My grandparents(his parents) farmed a mile south of Dunrea, Manitoba in Canada.
In the Dirty Thirties:
"We used to hire men to help with the stooking and then keep them to help with the threshing later. And where did we get the men?
Off the train! The train came everyday from Winnipeg and every day it was loaded with men, not riding in the train because they had no money but riding on top of the train by the dozens. When it got to Dunrea, 140 miles from Winnipeg, there were still usually 15 to 20 men on the roof of the train. They would get off the train and start walking into the country looking for work.
We lived on one of the main roads out of Dunrea, so quite a few men took that road.
The train got into Dunrea about 4:30 or 5 o'clock. By the time they had walked as far as our farm it was just about suppertime. The men would come in to our place to ask for a job, so that was how we got the men we needed. Of course we couldn't hire all the men that came but we could feed them and that's what we did. We fed hundreds of men in the 30's.
We, also, had a bunk house that had 2 or 3 beds in it. That's where our hired men stayed. And if there was any room that's where the men off the train could sleep.
In the morning we would give breakfast and they went on their way."
so touching
Thank you Neil. My late father, born 1912, told me as a child what his family had to do to survive the 'great depression'. One story: when the family mule died, my father's mother hitched him to the plow; there was no money to buy another mule or oxen. He was 18/19 years old, and, you guessed it, strong as an ox. As she steered the plow, my father pulled it, like a draft animal. He would always cry when he told the story. If they had not done that, there would have not been a garden and they would have starved to death.
Wow, that's a powerful story Robert!
Powerful story, thank you.
When I come across stories from that time period, it really makes me marvel at the human spirit of survival. Glad they made it through that period.
Scary 😲
My God!!! 😔😔
As soon as the lockdown started in March I rented a land share and started growing vegetables and fruit. You could see it coming a mile away. Anyone here watch the Ice Age Farmer channel?

I'm worried about the banks. I knew an elderly man ten years ago who grew up during the Great Depression. He told me that his family has a small farm; chickens, a few pigs, a substantial garden that they lived off of. Once a year after they would butcher pigs, they sold the meat, then kept the breeding pigs. His mom would take the money they made to the bank and deposit it for the items they could not make, like flour, salt, clothes, etc. There were rumors going around that the banks were going to close. His mom gathered their yearly deposit and went into the bank. She spoke to the president of the bank, telling him of her concerns of the bank closing. He assured her they were solvent and that she was hearing rumors. She deposited the money. Two days later, the bank closed, just locked the door. The Depression started. No one could get any of their money out of the bank. One year later she got her money back, but she got pennies on the dollar. It was almost nothing. He said if they didn't have their garden, the chickens and pigs for meat, they would have starved to death. He said people did starve to death. This is what concerns me, the banks. They aren't going to tell us.
Reading this comment now is a little more scary than when you first posted.
Get your money out of the bank 🏦 only keep enough cash to cover direct debits and mortgage payments 😊
How many hours research?
Three hundred!😯
Wow!
All I can say Neil, is: brilliant job!
And...
Sounds a lot like today, doesn't it. Oh dear me...
Thank-you, Neil,for your magnificent effort with this podcast!🤗 It is timely, educational, and very, very relevant to what is going on right now, in the third decade of the 21st century.
Brilliant job!😀👍👏
My pop was born 1910 in Wagga Wagga Australia. During ww1 they had to hunt rabbits for food and went bare foot because they grew out of their shoes. WW2 was another kick in the guts. He said that we were headed for it all again and that it would be worse this time because because of how ignorant, weak and dumb this generation of people are 🥺
The dumbing down of the populations is intentional and has been on a fast tract for about 50 years. They have a long plan and we're often manipulated into following along because we're too busy surviving or trying to 'keep up with the Jones' as portrayed by TV shows, movies and advertisements.
@@happygardener28 well said, dumb and dumber alright. Yes keeping up with the Jones’s has most of these idiots in big debts 😂
Here's where us Gen-X'ers with the DIY mindset, grown up in recession, will come out of this as warriors.
@@happygardener28 it seems we have been trained to be dependant on companies rather than ourselves.Everything is made to be unfixable or difficult to fix.so called green companies like tesla do everything in their power to discourage home mechanics and even punish those who do it.

@john hopokins is this an insult or?
Canada here: My elderly neighbor told me this; During the Great Depression, he was around 10 yrs old and lived near the Exibition Stadiums Toronto. With tears in his eyes he told me that him and his friends watched flatbed trucks dump bodies of people who had starved to death in the bldgs. We are in worst shape than during the great depression, thank to our corrupt government.
Governments always start wars when the economy collapse. When this hits; we will be going to war. War will not be like other wars. It will be bio and weather wars. No one will be safe. It may end our civilization. All governments are going to pull out all this high tech that has been repressed and it will blow our minds... what they have. Nuclear may occur; but honestly ,all nations want the land for growing food and to own. They are not going to destroy it.. they will try to kill us off with other means and then vaccinate their people and walk in and populate. Get close to Christ and get ready.. this pandemic was from a lab and either released or got out accidentally.. but still man made. They were trying to develop an vaccine for AIDS and SARS and it got into the Chinese population. I heard stories of over 30 million died before the first wave ended. We now have two new mutated viruses and they are now saying the vaccine will not prevent you from getting these... and they don't know if it will even help you...

My grandfather turned 99 this past Sept. Born 1921. And lived through it all. he worked for the CCC in the late 1930s. He still lives alone and takes care of himself Thank God and can recall everything perfectly. We are from the MOuntains of Western North Carolina, US. He has said many times they, our family, and any else they knew who lived in small rural towns (less than 2,000 people then and now) if they did not grow their own food they would not have eaten. He like many served in WWII. he was a screaming eagle who bombed & helped clear Utah beach for our invading troops. He has said over and over it is all lining up the same just a different time. Everything is looking the same.
Wow! What a MAN! Shame we don't have too many like him these days... God bless him, please send me a photo of his 100th birthday.
Your grandfather should write his diary too. We need to remember these things, not to be feed untruth history.
Also, there are some interesting interviews on TH-cam with people who survived the concentration camps in Nazi Germany.... They are all ringing the alarm bell too...
@@RedSpiralHandTV here's a statement from a very old lady who survived the horrors of the nazi camps. She was asked, "Do you think the world will ever experience the likes of it again", she replies "yes if people dont question things, if people just accept everything their told, yes the world will experience it again but on a much larger scale and we will all be complicit in it.

My History teacher always said history runs like a wheel. The same problems in the past always happen again in the future. This is true as most people don't want to learn from the lessons learned by our for fathers. Thank you for this interesting video. Greetings from South Africa.
What happened in the past were tests for what is happening now. It was all planned & tested for hundreds of years.
I'm a new subscriber from Indiana- US. My mom was one of 9 children. Born in Texas in 1927. She said she was 20yrs old before someone explained that they had been living in a depression. Her family were migrant workers that picked cotton and lived along the side of the road was common. Rarely had shoes. Cookies were their Xmas gift. Sugar was so hard to find.
She passed almost a year ago. She knew what was happening and told me to prepare for anything. Thanks mom for being such a great mentor and friend. Oct. 2022- SHTF is around the corner.
Our mom (child of the Depression) a week before she passed exclaimed: "I'll be glad that I won't be here when SHTF". This was in 2011.
My great grandpa planted potatoes between the sidewalk and street. He put nets in the trees and caught birds to eat. Remember 4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie
Stunning parallels. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - George Santayana
Both of my parents lived thru the depression. My dad was born in 1908 and my mom was born in 1915. I won't tell you how old I am. Neither of them wanted to tell us anything about the depression. They would mention bread lines when we didn't like what was put before us at dinner time. My dad only gave us one story. He said that there was no work. Men would stand around a work site and when one of the workers keeled over from exhaustion and dropped his shovel, the first one in the ditch to grab it, had the job. My mother was born and raised on a farm in Kentucky. They had food for the table but nothing else. The only story she ever gave us was when a family came thru the area. They had nothing. My grandfather let them live in a shed on the farm for a time. My mother said her family gave them a large tin of peanut butter and the makings for biscuits. She said you could live on peanut butter. Those are the only stories they gave us.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing that story with us!
Thats heavy stuff man. Thanks for sharing.
We need to hear these survival stories, they're useful for what's to come.
Go long peanut 🥜 butter.
High in protein, high in fat.
Not else what else it's high in but it might be a good idea to keep a couple of extra jars in the pantry.
And stock up on biscuit making supplies.
My grandmother went through it with flying colors. She took in military men. There was no place for 5hem to stay. They gave her all th3ir rashons. She didnt want for anything.
This is fascinating! Thx so much for all your work on this Neil. Years ago I found a newspaper from 1930 in the attic of a house I lived in...I read the whole thing. There was no mention of the stock market crash, no mention of financial hardship at all. No one was aware yet what was about to happen to them, even though the wheels were already in motion.. I think about that a lot now.
Agree. Same with war. It does not happens LIKE THAT. Its step by step, wheels in motion. Background games.

Thanks Neil, just found your channel. I came of age in the mid 80’s, raised on consumption, urban affluent background. My parents didn’t repair, mend, grow their own food. I don’t have any of these skills either. I have sold up, down sized and moved to the country, I don’t have debt, and are eliminating cost: Solar panels, battery storage, electric vehicle, and thanks to you tube I’m planting my first ever garden. The information and analogies to modern day are enlightening. I feel that I’m on the right track without even knowing it…
My grandparents told me of an out of work architect who sold pens and pencils etc just to get by . They would buy a few (unneeded) items from him . After the depression he came over to thank them both , he would not of survived without them buying a few of those paltry items .
Thanks, Neil! My father was born in 1931. He was the youngest of 4 children. He grew up hearing that his mother wished he'd never been born - she didn't want any more children. (his next oldest brother was born in 1929 - probably before "The Crash".) His father died when he was 20 months old, leaving his mother a widow with 4 children. She received a small monthly death benefit, but it was much less than his salary. He was a lineman for Edison Power and Electric in the Phoenix area. He was struck by lightning while fixing downed power lines. The grief and strain affected her the rest of her life. They ate lots of rice and beans and cornbread. They only ate meat on Sunday - usually fried chicken. When I was growing up, my dad often cooked fried chicken on Sundays. I can only guess what it represented to him.
That's such a sad story.
@@juliecooper8115 Thanks. God bless.

When you listen to your grandparents and your mother and father who were born before the great depression and throughout the great depression you will have the best information about what the great depression was like to live through. How do I know this is because I did ask about what they had lived through and how they would be able to take care of themselves. From what they had said to me I am telling you that we are now facing the same thing starting to happen again yet this time the depression will be much worse.

@@NeilMcCoyWard De nada,even so I speak Italian.
Spot on ! Finally someone who understands what is going on, this is a direct consequence of many things, including and especially Reagan's "Primacy of finance" theory (and dogma) that was 'successfully' implemented in his administration. Which turned Lincoln's preference for labor over capital upside down. It actually started before Reagan with Nixon's destruction of Bretton Woods to allow sudden and steep valuation changes in currency, rather than the gradual curves that Bretton had encouraged. Gradual changes tend to benefit producers and the "real economy" as you succintly put it, while rapid erratic changes are to the benefit of parasitic non-productive speculators, generally working with inside information. if not root manipulation of currency values as we saw in the Long Term Capital Management debacle of the late 90's. The mess really was oput on steroids by Reagan. And this neo-liberal policy thrust has been continued under every subsequent administration since. Reaching a zenith with Bill Clinton signing the disasterous repeal of Glass Steagal towards the end of his 2nd term. A law that had sensibly, and effectively banned mergers of investment banks and insurance companied with FDIC insured main street deposit banks. Helping to prevent major economic crashes from 1934 to 2008. The resulting 2008 crash directly related to neo-liberal dereguation like repeal of GS. There is opposition that has arisen to this insane policy of "feeding the malignant cancer all the economic blood of society" on both the right (Ron Paul) and the left (Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren) among others. But when that opposition starts gaining traction, the propaganda surges big time in the corporate media controlled by the cabal you identify so well. Labeling anyone who opposes this scam - dal style policy 'insane' or 'extreme' ... the ultimate height of chutzpah and projectionism. The metrics of the result of this "paradise for parasites" policy can be measured many ways, perhaps best by the share of Gross Corporate Profit (GCP) captured by banks, and financial institutions. In1980 that share was 17% of GCP, which was more than justified by the minimal value such institutions added to the economy already. But by the time they had crashed the economy in 2008, their share had ballooned to a truly mestastatic 42% ... a number that is at least as high if not higher today. THis insanity is completely unsustainable, but the propaganda power of it's purveyors is so strong I fear that we are doomed to remain in it's grip. Watching the tent cities grow, while real estate is artificially inflated beyond affordability by the 'RE' arm of the aptly labeled 'FIRE' and real compensation stagnate for all the productive sectors of the economy by the stranglehold of the 'FI' arm... as Lincoln's financial adviser Henry Charles Carey eloquently put in the 1860's "Banks make good servants, but they are terrible masters'"
THANKS for your response. will read. As lucky STEM Boomer, it has taken me some time to
get a handle on the fraudulent economics. I was oblivious to the wholesale gutting of our middle class. Wolff and Hudson
shine much needed light on the "REAL ECONOMY" I was puzzled by the term unearned income, it extends deeply into
corporate America. For me it was the 5% year over year targets, but they did not apply to employee income, only to management and
stock holders. They turned "employee satisfaction" around 180 degree to mean "employee engagement", How can we make you

Many people are confused about starvation, they think that starvation is no food until you drop over, which it is but it also people who get sick and die because of malnutrition( not enough vitamins).
Some imagine starvation to be that you miss a few meals and you keel over at a later date to then die peacefully in your sleep, however, the first thing to go is your mind and how quickly you can solve problems as a lack of nutrition takes over to the brain.
Then comes the constant pains and stomach grinding as it begs for food, people who are half strayed are easily controlled ask Starlin, you are constantly cold and you will find it hard to sleep, the list goes on.
I moved to the countryside just over 2 years ago because I saw this coming. I grow a lot of my own food in containers so it doesn't look like a vegetable garden and can be brought inside if things get really bad.

@@FaithandNova True but I live in a village and most people grow their own anyway. We already swap and share.
I wanted to add this because it might make just one person think outside the box as it pertains to food. Here in Australia it is summer and normally that means lovely stone fruits including peaches and plums a plenty in the stores, but not this year. Sure the fruit ripened but because the COVID situation has changed regulations surrounding numbers of persons able to work not only picking the fruit sorting and boxing them safely, as well as the backpackers who would normally pick the fruit have been unable to do so. THIS is the SAME as during the last Depression and simply means that this increases the cost of the available fruit and creates shortages in the marketplace. As of a fortnight ago almost 40 MILLION tonnes of fruit was destroyed and buried underground so far this year. What a travesty! The hunger is already HERE and people are finding it difficult to make ends meet as it is but it is going to get MUCH WORSE! Now I'm 56 and I have a disability and I walk with a stick but I have collected many kilos of fruit from homes and businesses who have trees but don't want the fruit. I live in a small rural community. I know it sounds ridiculous but I have over 10 kilos of peaches which cost me nothing and I have made jam, relish and I'm about to can some in syrup. Next weekend I'll get some more. The agricultural store in town had 3 plum trees loaded with fruit that was falling through the cracks in the fence and I was treading on it. I went in and asked permission to pick the fruit for jam. I made 3 trips there and I must have got 40 kilos of plums, some of which I couldn't use, but it didn't cost me anything but time and energy. Last night I was walking in the back lane behind my property and I found a pear tree where underneath it was about 30 kilos of pears lying on the ground and much had been eaten by birds but some was ok. I bought a wheelbarrow full of fruit from that ONE tree home and today I will dry some of it. I picked the rest of the fruit off the tree and I must have another 10 kilos from that. I also ended up with apples which had started to fall to the ground and become bird feed. The property is currently unoccupied but I have left a note giving details they can use to contact me. I COULDN'T allow that waste to happen. Guess who's making apples and mint jelly today? I have to take painkillers so I can stand up to do this work but NOTHING is more important than preserving the food we have NOW for tomorrow. Many,many more will be hungry a year from now and the cost will continue to increase exponentially. I also have a large garden, and the gardens of the Depression were known as Victory Gardens and sometimes those gardens prevented starvation. It won't take long for the food in those warehouses to run out when more than 100 million people are desperate to feed their families. Look around your own neighborhoods and ask the owners if they want money for their fruit or barter and offer some preserved fruit for them. We are ALL going to be hungry. Please get prepared TODAY!
Amazing deeds

@monicaburton7230 Dear Monica, it was strange seeing your reply and then rereading a comment which I wrote over 2 years ago and seeing what has been seen to be true within. Here we are in mid 2023 and grocery prices just continue to increase, but I am afraid that give it another 12 months and not only would the prices have gone up again but the supply will have decreased and we will be under rationing. If only most people Monica KNEW just how MUCH food has been intentionally destroyed these past few years they would be HORRIFIED! It's an absolute abomination what those in power have done to farming and the food supply. Here in Australia it's winter and it IS cold but at least THIS winter I can put the heating on, but I might not be able to next year because electricity prices are going to keep rising while supply is diminished intentionally. Thank you Monica for your kind words and for reminding me of what I said back then and my Heavenly Father still watches over me and blesses me with abundance. I'm no longer very mobile and I am booked in for a hip replacement in early September. I'm very slow but I try to do as much as I can each and every day! God bless you and your family! Praise God for He IS faithful.

I’m in the building trade in England. I did a job for an elderly lady whose family have owned a dairy farm for generations. She told me she was a little girl at the time of the Wall Street crash, and at the time they had to find new and inventive ways to hide the produce. At night starving raiders would come looking for it.
wow
The bets thing one can do is start your back yard gardens. Plant simple crops such as Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Spinach and other vegetables that produce within a month. Have some rain harvesting barrels etc
The entries were depressing and sobering.
My father was born in 1940 and never talked about depression because he was born into a family that tried to scrape by. His siblings were born in 1929, 1931, and 1933. My dad experienced times when he felt neglected because he was the last one born.
I asked my aunt and uncles about their childhood and my about grandparents. They did not give much detail other than to say that my grandfather was a quiet man who kept his feelings to himself, while my grandmother constantly worked odd jobs to support the family. I realize they come from a generation where feelings are suppressed and not discussed, unlike today.
I know that my dad's upbringing shaped the type of person my dad became since he became the first member of his family to earn a college degree. He became an engineer who worked at Lockheed Martin for 30 years. He preached the value of a college degree while he always told me to save. My mother knew how to save money because she came from poverty and discrimination to become a self-taught bookkeeper.
My point is that an event that could happen 100 years ago can be felt for generations. Events that happen in a person's life impact who they become.
Respectfully,
Mark, thanks for sharing your story. My late father who passed away this year in March 2020 at the age of 90. He was born in 1930. He spent hours talking about his childhood and the tough times. Before he passed away, he said the 1929 Depression was bad but the coming downturn will be worse with the governments using a mask to cover up the downturn.. So I think my late dad would call the economic downturn ; The covid19 depression.
Beautifully expounded 🌹
Mark, Thank you for sharing! So well written, and so impactful.
City societies have been sterilized to where the food on the shelves come from. I grew up in the mountains of northern Idaho and our food came from wild game that my Dad shot either with a gun or bow and arrow which he was very good at both. My Mom knew how to make that meat last for a year at a time for a family of 5. She foraged from the land and canned food too. Today my childhood girlfriends still go hunting and can food while I’ve become accustomed to buying my meat in a store...i no longer live in the mountains and us city dwellers are all screwed.
When the depression started, the bank called my grandfather’s mortgage. Even though he had never missed a payment, he was told to pay off the mortgage or the bank would take the house. Actually, the bank didn’t want the money, they wanted the house. Fortunately, grandpa had a job driving a two-horse hitch on the hills of San Francisco delivering groceries. His boss lent him the money to pay the bank. For the rest if his life, Grandpa hated banks and kept his money in the top bureau drawer.
His daughter, my mom, graduated high school in 1932. Experienced adults couldn’t find jobs, teenagers had little hope. So mom went to the best dress shop in Alameda and offered to work for free for one year. Occasionally, the owner would give her a dress that hadn’t sold. But at year’s end, mom knew everything about retail, from bookkeeping to window dressing.
Thank you, Neil, for this excellent presentation. I am 75, ex UK; my parents and grandparents lived through the depression, and it is very interesting for me to listen to this chronology of events.
Dancing to exhaustion: blood sport, not that different from the Roman arenas! History is not linear: it is cyclic.
I love history and this was quite the eye-opener. My grandparents owned a farm and my mom, her sister, and 9 brothers worked the land. They churned butter, milked cows, had fresh eggs and butchered pigs, and goats. They also grew their own vegetables. They never went hungry. This was quite the eye-opener. I know you put out this video a year ago but it seems things are starting to play out with food shortages, fires at food processing plants, and cattle and poultry being killed. I live in the city but have been prepping for a few years, stocking up on food. I have a garden and grow vegetables. I think many people are not aware of what's coming. I have tried to warn family and friends but I'm a conspiracy theorist. You just can't make them drink the water when you lead them to a natural spring. They just don't get it. Thank you for taking the time to make this series. It was excellent!

Farmers were already dumping milk on the ground in March of last year, here in the States. Restaurants were shutting down, and there wasn't enough small packaging to make their unused milk available to grocery stores.
A pity we couldn't have ramped up cheese production to utilize the surplus. In the 1980s government warehouses gave away tons of cheese in 5lb. blocks and free boxes of powdered milk to anyone who stood in line, regardless of income. That was back when we still had politicians with foresight, who had lived through the Great Depression.
To paraphrase an old saying: Those who can't remember history are UNABLE to repeat it.
I don’t remember that from the 1980s
This really applies today.

This was very enjoyable. It's also worth analysing the actions of Wall Street in this crisis - in many respects they catalysed and accelerated the crash, in order to execute one of those upward transfers of wealth we've become familiar with in the past couple of decades. They picked up companies for peanuts, bought out farms and properties for pennies on the dollar. The millions who suffered, who starved, who died - they were just collateral damage.
Don't forget, this depression is government induced

I heard that the 1929 depression was planned by the Rothschilds.

Thank you for your hard work in making these videos. I grew up in the 50's and my mom was very frugal. At the end of the week we had a stew made up of the weeks left overs. She washed and saved tin foil. She saved bacon grease in a coffee can. Mom sewed and darned socks. Nothing it seems was wasted. My dad had a small vegetable garden in our tiny back yard. Mom canned. And we lived on the out skirts of the city. That was common then. My parents remembered the Depression.
The next depression will be MUCH worse:
Lower morality
Lower ethics
Less real life skills
Less resilient
More tender
Less hardy
More anger
Lazier
Expect government to save them.
The list goes on and on.

@@NeilMcCoyWard I feel already now abandoned by the government. With this corona hysteria and all it’s restrictions and rules, my business is destined to fail
Just watched this again with a friend and see it's still very relevant. I appreciate all the research you've done. I am a member and continously find your material pertinent. Thank you.
This is most helpful , especially those of us that haven’t been schooled in how the economy, government, and banks can truly operate. TY
The difference is our ancestor's were made of iron tough people fantastic channel thankyou 🙏🌏🙏
My grandmother's father (she is still alive - 90+) hated FDR for what he had the farmers do - between slaughtering pigs and crops while others starved. Also - I am looking into rural + land for food and shelter; 2020 has taught me not to trust the government for anything - other than taxes. And yes... we are likely heading towards a Great Depression IMO.
Yeah my Father in Law said the same! He's still alive too
You ain't gonna be buying any land...the Governments are ready to take everything we own!.... your money is next to disappear... blackouts on and off with 5G and smart meters...you will soon be owned and managed by your Governments, or not, as all Governments will be disbanded due to all the civil unrest that is going to be unleashed on every country by the 1% elite in their country side retreats away from the cities.... everything we do will be as the New World Order says, or else face loosing your entire livelyhood and existence, all down to having your chip in your hand is switched off!!... Covid 19 and 21 is real and the vaccines are real, real bad!.... Love and Peace 🙏❣️

Thank you for the hours you spent, very important information. My dad was a little boy during the Great Depression. I was expecting this, this month I pay off my mortgage, 16 years early by living as if poor. I bought 1/3 acre in the middle of nowhere and have been converting it into a food forest/vegetable gardens. Added many wild edible because most people don't know you can eat them. I keep getting cards with a Google map views of my property, along with offers from real estate people. I have zero interest in selling.
Congratulations
Thank you for this video. Eye opening. Everyone needs to find their own path to become as independent as possible. Don't rely on the Banks, Govt and pensions for your life. If you reach a level where you don't care about them then you will find your path to freedom.
Well said
Awesome, I am glad you mentioned this series today.
Don't lose heart people... we have hydroponics and hanging gardens that can be planted on the side of buildings and vertical hydroponics in your apartment by a window. We have grow lights for closet gardening. We have small quail that can be raised inside an apartment and this will give you eggs and meat. The roofs of high rises can be used to raise chickens and pigeons. We can do this.. as communities. The high rises have acres of outside hanging and planting wall space. Water collected on the roof will enable you to water the plants. We can do this... learn, learn, learn. and share what you learned with others. Take care and stay safe.
Even if my house is fully paid off l still do not own it as long as l have to pay property tax.
That's how they're going to get them off of us, they'll just squeeze us out over time.
This reminds me of Illinois. People are moving out of Illinois (especially the Chicago area) because of high property taxes. And that's probably not the only place.
Has anyone heard of or tried using UCC-1 filing? New territory for me. It is one of those things when you go to go research there are some that say it is legitimate & others who call it (& anything surrounding it) a conspiracy theory. That alone makes me think it is worth the research. The fact that the form is on government website & it is not widely known about makes it even more interesting. Hopefully it can (and will) be used for our good (for a change).
Good luck everyone ❤.
Gov: Hippity hoppity ur house is now my property
You: I paid it off
Gov: no no No u didn’t pay that property tax
Buy gold or silver or both, think about it as savings that gives over time, the dollar may not stay strong for long, but with silver or gold as an aset you can sell the precious metals for the current value of the dollar and pay you taxes, during a economic crisis. So lets say you have cash saved up ($25,000) and the dollar looses 50% of its value that will mean that your savings lost $12,500 dollars in purchasing power now you need to come up with another $12,500 at that moment to make up for what you lost, now say you buy silver, last year where silver was about $15 dollars an ounce now it value is $27 dollars an ounce that's a $12 increase in one year, the dollar index last year was $95 and change now the dollar index is $89.77 thats a lost of $6 and change of purchasing power of the dollar, back in the recession of 2008 the dollar index dropped as low as $70.69 while silver hit $35 an ounce and gold hit $2000 an ounce so people that had precious metals in any form be it, jewelry, bullion, silverware etc, or even teeth fillings they were ahead of everyone else that had no precious metals at all and they were the ones that kept their homes and road the waves safely. Hope I made some sense here and stay save, and remember if you don't hold it you dont own it.
I wait every day for your videos!
😊
Me too!
I have been reading The Great Depression Diary by Benjamin Roth great book and while reading I was really struck by the similarities from that era to now. I have tried to prepare as much as possible (no debt, own home, precious metals, stay out of stock market -except a bit in gold stocks) but even my husband doesn't realize how bad it will be. The time is has never been better for people to find reliable news sources and to be cautious with their $$. Peter Schiff, zerohedge and of course Neil will help.
That was actually the best diary I read Freya
I am currently reading that book, it is a real eye opener
I’m in the U.K....my husband thinks I’m mad saying we are in a sinking ship world wide.
I’m so worried coz all our savings for retirement are in the bank and pension funds....do you think I should buy gold and silver now ??
@@merrioneaton9501 that is a great idea. I have the paperback version and will be passing it to my friend to read when I have finished
@@merrioneaton9501 where are you driving to?
Thank you for reposting this three part series about the depression.
You say that the depression in our future will be worse. I don't doubt it. I wonder if you could do a brief update soon and reiterate your opinions; it has been two years since you created the series and I'd like to know when you think the next depression will happen.
Thanks, Neil. God bless you and yours, too.
My parents grew up during the depression. Children often had to work because of illness in the family. One thing you didn't mention is there were no welfare or social service program, not in Canada anyway. The only things people received were bags of grains or flour. Flour bags were made into blouses or underwear. Families were separated by high unemployment. Men were hopping trains and working at any job to pay them in dollars or in food and shelter. One story I remember clearly was about a man away working who got regular letters forwarded on to him from his wife. Thinking something happened to his family, not receiving letters he quit his job. When reaching home he found that his wife had only money to make the last loaf of bread for her children, or buy the stamps for the letter.
What you described happening in Canada during the GD was what happened here in the states also.
Economic Depression is already here. We haven't really felt it yet due too all the government stimulus cheques, but the true reckoning is coming.
And sheep busy buying crap from Amazon, watching MSM news rubbish and trimming up their social media accounts.... Everything tends to come as a "full surprise". Except that this time once they´ll wake up they will be in for a huge shock.
I would tend to agree with you 👍
it has taken me some time to get a handle on the fraudulent economics. I was oblivious to the wholesale gutting of our middle class.
Wolff and Hudson shine much needed light on the "REAL ECONOMY" I was puzzled by the term unearned income, it extends deeply into
corporate America. For me it was the 5% year over year targets, but they did not apply to employee income, only to management and
stock holders. They turned "employee satisfaction" around 180 degree to mean "employee engagement", How can we make you
feel good while screwing you. Merry Christmas. Stay safe.
@@jamesmorton7881 That was an ouch of a statement without the lubricant! Merry, I don't know, stay safe, absolutely.
Completely agree with you
I grew up in Soviet Union. Everything we are, we grew in my grandmother's garden. I mean, everything. We canned everything, had underground food cellars, dried berries, forged mushrooms etc. At school we were though something like home ed, were girls were thought how to cook, pluck chickens and ducks, knit, sew....you name it. I am not worried. To this day, I still do some of the stuff.
My wife is the same, born in a village in Moldova in 1980....
I wonder why they never include these events in schools. I, really, feel your work should be given all the support from various academic institutions and translated to many languages because it's a ground breaking work that I intend to view many times. Well done, Neil.
Thank you Omar
Because the schools are run by the government and the government doesn't want you to know
Just watched this for the 2nd year. Great information. Heard things I'd forgotten.
In Southern California, there is a rash of commercial buildings being burned down. Also vacant commercial strip malls are being demolished--no hope for them ever being rented out. The only new commercial/industrial buildings being built are warehouses.
Neil after seeing the videos, I purchased and read this book. I can honestly say it was a very eye opening about what is happening today. I want to thank you for introducing this book to me keep up the Good work thanks Joseph.
This was by far eye opening and I hope people share it with friends so more people have better knowledge to face these crises.
I see that many family members, adult children are now moving back with their folks. I would urge all to start a garden, learn how to sprout and feed yourself. Even start with a large pot by a window and start growing something. So many youtubes to show you how.
Great advice Sonya
Third time watching....It's all coming true. Watched it first two years ago. It's like fine wine, it just gets better. Thanks for military service but even more importantly for you humanitarian contribution. People need to know this!
What you read here is exact effect of sanctions when US imposes it on another country. Speaking from first-hand experience from 1993-2000 in Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) with sanctions having exactly the same effect on the civilian population.
Also, if you can’t pay your property taxes, the government will take your home even if you have paid it off.
While I don't like taxes either. They are used to provide, roads, fire departments, police, schooling (back when it was worth something), waste collection and such. We as citizens need to start keeping a tighter watch on the politicians and their policies, but too often we are too busy just getting by.
@@happygardener28 I agree. Property taxes in particular seem to be a necessity. I'm just saying that if people can't work and earn enough money to even pay their property taxes, then the government can take the property away from them. Something we need to keep in mind.
I have heard many stories from my grandparents about how they lived on cucumber sandwitches growing up during the depression. My grandmothers toes were crippled her entire life because she had to were shoes that where way too small for years because it was all she had to wear.
An old man showed me a photo of his family in the thirties. Only the father had shoes. The girls wore dresses made from flour sacks. He said they were all dressed in their finest for this portrait.
My great grandmother lived through this time in rural north georgia. She said it was dark times her dad lost their farm to the bank and he worked all day for a jar of honey. She never had a bank account. She didn't complain but their was alot of things she didn't share about that time. Her dad committed suicide a couple of years into the depression.
Wow Rodney, what a story!
Good gosh.
thanks man ! always wish you and yours well .
Watching this today
My father born 1911, was 18 in 1929, and lived his entire 20’s struggling for a living. He always said the history books lied, in the cities crime was horrific and many died of starvation, particularly elders. The soup and breadlines were not enough…
Thank you so much for this research. 🙏 My first reaction is anger: 😡
These situations are cruel, senseless, and unnecessary. How can
governments be so stupid and heartless? I am a psychologist, but still
cannot wrap my head around it, even as I see much of it about to reoccur.
God help us all. 🙏
I am watching your videos and I can say what a great value you are offering! Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos.
You're most welcome, thanks
Thanks - an interesting perspective
