“Panic Buying Of Food In New Jersey?”
by NewRoom
“Supermarkets in northeastern New Jersey are literally swamped with customers tonight, so much so that in some locations like Hoboken, lines are literally around the store to get it! It is a rather unusual situation since there are no closures or shortages of any kind, so SuperStation95 sent one of our intrepid editors, Chris Rivera, to ask what- if anything- is going on? He reports below:
“ShopRite in Hoboken, NJ is one of the largest supermarkets in Hudson County, and certainly the largest in this upscale, preppie, city of one square mile. Situated on the western side of the mighty Hudson River, one can see the entire New York City Skyline from just about everywhere in Hoboken. It’s a beautiful city.
So what is it that is causing lines out the door and wrapping around supermarkets in town? Despite the huge parking lot, I had to find street parking to head over to the ShopRite. I found a space about a block away. As I approached, I could see lots of typical Hoboken folks, chatting with each other as they patiently wait to get inside. I asked a few, why the big lines?
“Banks in Italy are collapsing” said Margarie Sytola. ”People can’t get money to buy food, the ATM’s are all out of cash.” I asked her why a banking issue in Italy would send her to the supermarket in Hoboken, NJ and she snapped back “The world is connected. What happens in Europe eventually happens here. I’m not going to be one of the people caught with nothing if the banks close.”
Jeff Charles, a nearby shopper who overheard our conversation, chimed-in. ”The banks never stopped gambling with our money after they were bailed out in 2008″ he said. ”The oldest bank in Italy, been in business since the year 1472, is going under. If a bank that old is going under, the rest don’t stand a chance” he said.
George Kiaffas, from Athens Greece was also waiting in line. He had experienced the bank “holidays’ in Athens last year before he got out and moved with his family in the US. ”The bankers are all in it together, around the whole world” he said. ”They rape the public and when they lose all our money gambling, they get the politicians to bail them out- but the politicians are broke now, so there won’t be anybody to bail anybody out” he continued. ”I took what little money I have out of the bank and I keep it in a safe place now; they won’t cause me to go hungry ever again” he added.
I thought it strange that these people all had similar concerns: the banks going under. So I walked around the corner of the store, smoked a cigarette, and took-up conversations with people who were so far away, they couldn’t possibly have heard anything the other folks told me. I told a nearby woman who I was, and that I was doing a story on why there seems to be a big rush to buy food. Her name is Irena Miskova from Russia and her answer: “The banks are collapsing again and there’s no money for the government to bail them out!”
I was stunned. At that moment, it was instantly clear to me that this is panic buying of food for fear of a bank collapse! Here. In America. Hoboken, NJ. Amazing!
I told Irena that here in the US, we have the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) which insures all our accounts for up to $250,000. She replied “Yes, but if you read the fine print, they can take up a YEAR to start paying your back, and up to five years to finish the pay back. How will I live over those years?” Whoa. This woman read the fine print. Nobody EVER reads the fine print! Hell, even _I_ didn’t read the fine print!
Max Baker, in line ahead of Irena, chimed in: “The FDIC doesn’t have nearly enough money to pay everyone if a bank like Citibank or JP Morgan goes under. And with Obama playing nasty with China over those islands in the South China Sea, we could see a naval battle with them in the very close future. If that happens, China won’t finance our debt anymore and Congress will have to print the money. That triggers inflation and we’ll all be wiped out.”
I was starting to feel very uncomfortable at this point. How is it that all these average, typical, everyday people were so informed about world events? How is it that they keep abreast of this stuff? I’m in the news business and I didn’t have a clue as to these concerns. Yet here were literally hundreds of typical, everyday, average people in Hoboken, New Jersey, who are so tuned-in to what’s going on around the world, that they’re stocking-up on food because Banks in Italy are failing.
Jermaine Flemming had other concerns. He talked about the recent violence against police in Dallas and other cities around the country, and worries that these protests are getting out of hand. ”They keep attacking the cops and sooner or later states are gonna call out the national guard; then none of us will be able to go out to the store to get anything” he said. He said it’s better to have extra food for his family for a couple weeks, and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
As I was talking to these folks, several large tractor-trailers were pulling-into the loading docks at the back of the store. So I walked over to see what I could find out from those guys. To a man, they all said they were not authorized to speak on behalf of the company, but they told me some basic info. Each supermarket has computers which track inventory. When the computers see that items are running low or sold out, they automatically place an order with their supplier, Wakerfern Corporation, and replacement inventory is on a truck the very next day. Wakefern, they say, has gigantic warehouses and there are no shortages of any food items at all.
I left the store in a sort of stunned silence. I felt so out-of-the-loop. So unprepared. So many people talking about banks in Italy, and even worried about the effect of the violent “Black Lives Matter” protests. These folks are all thinking ahead. I felt like I was so pre-occupied with the here-and-now, I wasn’t paying attention to what was clearly on the horizon. How is it that they could see it so clearly while I didn’t have a clue? Then I realized, all these people were older than me. I’m in my early 30′s. Most of them were in their 50′s or 60′s. They’ve lived longer. They know more. That’s how life works.
I called my wife from my cellular phone and told her what was happening. She was taken aback, and immediately told me she was heading out to the store to stock-up on long-term food. Big bags of rice, bags of beans, boxes of pasta, jars of sauce, canned meats, veggies, fruits, stuff that will last a good long time. I agreed it was the right thing for us to do. Like Jermaine Flemming said, it’s better to have it, and not need it, than to need it, and not have it. So much for the space in the basement I was going to use as my “man cave.” Oh well, and so it goes.”

The people there are obviously scared shitless that fatass Chris Christie is going to get it all FIRST !!!
Well if the people of NJ need food they can always throw Chris Krusty on a bonfire. Probably tastier and more nutritious than Krusty Whitman.
Hey that governor’s fat ass could feed a LOT of homeless HUNGRY people in New Jersey who’s magic SNAP cards don’t work any more !!! When the money’s gone and times are hard just grill him up in the back yard !!!
I am certain that he would burn for approximately 5 days.
Hummm, I agree with these people. Stock up while you can.
Strange though, look at that tower at the SuperStation95. Possible FEMA camp site.
Yikes!!!!
One word for you. SKYLIGHT.
Not everything is a boogieman trying to scare you.

Don’t forget the bread and the toilet paper. Everybody knows in any sort of emergency, folks from the northeast stock up on bread and toilet paper!!!
I have finally decided to stock up on tequila and weed. Got enough for 10 years as this looks like it’s getting serious.
There are no banks collapsing in Italy, is a lie.
About this happening in New Jersey I’ve no info about it.
If you don’t believe me here is a link to Italian news, if you don’t understand Italian, google translate it.

Oh, yh, the headline was ‘Superstation95 creates false panic by reporting on non-existent bank runs!’. Editor that published the story reportedly ‘full of shit’.
Odd that Reuters hasn’t picked up the story as they did in June of 2015.
In fact, a web search only returns the Superstation95 story and a couple of blogs that either reported prior to vetting the story or pasted it regardless because it fit their narrative.
again, Martin Armstrong reported yesterday atms had run out of cash and people lined up for blocks-he has office in rome
I’m not sure if this article is true are not, but if you don’t believe EU banks are in bad shape, you haven’t got a clue.
Do you expect MSM of any sort to say this? This would all but ensure a collapse immediately.
The authors apparent ignorance of what is going on (and it’s amazing that he actually admits it), only shows what others, who are awake, have been saying all along…that the MSM is in cahoots with other agencies to keep Main Stream viewers (the sheeple), unaware of the situations that are taking place right under their noses. How can anyone with even a below average IQ…NOT know that things are really bad now? What rock do they live under? Even if they don’t follow the Alternative Media outlets, plain observation should tell them something. If this example can be multiplied by the tens of thousands or more, who possibly get their news solely from MSM outlets, we should have some REAL interesting issues to contend with when things collapse for good later on. Zombies, anyone?
Unlike the elite, globalists and most politicians think many Americans are very informed…we don’t just get our news from America…they invented something called the internet long ago…we can visit different countries to get our news, thanks to the interwebs and put two and two together. As of yet you don’t see that many Americans protesting or threatening revolution…because we know it would not be to our advantage to do so at this time, instead we plan and wait for the right moment…we are not ignorant. It will be the globalist one world government people who will get the big surprise …in the long run they will succumb to their own lust for power and greed …any mention of them will be tucked away in the back of some old dusty history book.
Except for “the smartest guy in the room” old Al Gore who actually thinks HE invented the internet , right ?!!!
If your going to stock up on food and supplies because you think there might be a breakdown of society because of the worldwide money problem you might want to consider the following.
Buy goods that have a long shelf life.
Buy medicines and if you can get extra from your doctor and get some good med kits.
Get water storage containers and water purification tablets.
Trade goods will be utmost…things you can trade for other things…like coffee…tea…sugar…flour…but the biggest trade good besides these will be salt…and all kinds of spices.
Buy ammunition for your guns.
Buy batteries, candles, kerosene lamps and extra kerosene, flashlights.
Buy axes, hatchets,shovels, hoes, picks.
Buy non GMO …heritage (orignial) seeds for a garden
If you can buy half a dozen chickens and lots of chicken feed…chickens can eat most scrap food too in a pinch.
Get a radio that doesn’t need electricity…they are hand crank…or can use batteries.
Stay away from crowds …keep your doors locked…and get some land in the country if you can away from cities.
a bought a box of twinkies(i am your average bin reader and thats all i can afford)
Serves you right for listening to Martin Armstrong.
not a bad idea they have a shelf life of about ten years
I am going to be laughing all day about your comment . FAF!!!!
White rice, pinto beans; unlimited shelf life if protected from vermin and bugs. I vacuum package mine. Note: always put your rice inside a zip lock and in the deep freeze for a week before packaging for long term storage to kill the bug eggs that are always present. Check at small discount type food stores for things like salt and sugar. It needs to be stored in something moisture proof to keep it from getting rock hard. I package mine in it’s original boxes or bags inside non-scented tall kitchen trash bags. Salt and sugar have an unlimited shelf life. Most cost effective water storage I have found are the 6 gallon gray BPA free water containers at Wally World in the camping department. They are flat sided and you can store a lot in a small space.
BS, simply not true.
The FDIC has 50,000,000,00 TO COVER $47,000,000,000.00 WORTH OF DEPOSITS. I’D BE CONCERNED TOO. LOOKS LIKEY ARE GOING TO BE ALITTLE SHOTY.
I am a non-smoker- just want to put that out there first off because the last thing on my mind are cigarettes.
Several years ago I had a vivid dream of being in a shelter like a big civic center gymnasium.
The item most in demand for trading were cigarettes. …..Just a suggestion- might not be a bad idea to have a few cartons for trading.
Every time I see your avatar I get that damn Jimmy Buffet song stuck in my head.
I think it’s all b.s. – panic mongering. Bottom line: typical East Coast mentality. That was one of the reasons that I left Jersey….people do not think any further than the PA border line.
Most are stocking up on Twinkies and diet Sprite. Diet of the Gods!

REPORT OF INVESTIGATION
Date: 12 July 2016
Details: Between 1205 and 1230 hours ET today, Tuesday, 12 July 2015, this investigator spoke by telephone to:
(1) an assistant manager/day shift (a), and
(2) the general manager(b) of the store depicted in the image below and identified as follows:
Shop Rite
900 Madison St,
Hoboken, NJ 07030
Tel: (201) 792-6070
This investigator inquired whether there has been any panic buying, a noticeable increase in sales traffic or volume, or any discernible rise in consumer purchases of food or personal items within the last 48-72 hours. This investigator also asked whether there have been lines of customers either waiting to enter the store (standing outside of the primary entrance) or longer-than-average check-out lines of customers waiting to leave.
Both respondents replied in the negative to each of the above questions.
Secondly, this investigator asked whether any media (television, print, radio or internet) had contacted this or any other Shop Rite named or owned store within that same period. Both responded in the negative. Lastly, this investigator inquired whether any media persons were observed or granted permission to conduct interviews with customers either inside or outside of their store. Again, both replied in the negative.
This investigator contacted two additional food retailers in the greater Hoboken, NJ area, receiving similar replies from both stores.
ADDITIONAL RESEARCH: ShopRite Supermarkets, with their corporate headquarters based in Keasbey, New Jersey, consists of 50 individually owned-and-operated affiliates with over 296 stores located in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. It is defined as a retailers’ cooperative (co-op) chain of supermarkets. Its corporate distribution arm has been identified and confirmed as Wakefern Food Corporation, which also owns 33 of the locations through subsidiary ShopRite Supermarkets making it the largest affiliate in the cooperative. It is also based in Keasbey, New Jersey.
CONCLUSION: This investigator found no evidence to support the claims or assertions contained within the report supplied.
You should become the Snopes of BIN.
You could even start your own website and advertise.
to be honest, I don’
t believe any story on this site! but I find the writing imaginative and mildly amusing!
It is the Italian connection is strong in Jersey. Kenyan’s in Africa are already lined up for jobs to build the Obama Library back home. People are morons.
Typical people in Hoboken? HaHa.. that explains everything.
Please stay west of the Hudson.
Sheeeeeeee-it.
I’ll stay west of the Mississippi.
yeah well, you know them jersey boys are a funny lot.
Don’t let the accent fool ya. Some of them can back down their own bulls.
I bought a bunch of five gallon air tight buckets with lids and put sugar, flour and rice in them, also have huge sacks of beans stored up and other things.
I live in Hoboken and I was at Shop Rite today and I can tell you one thing that this story is a total fraud and an invention. When I went to Shop Rite it was perfectly calm and there were no long lines and no reporters there interviewing anyone. Superstation95 is known for inventing stories like this.

Those who love others more than themselves will form communities and will survive. The best thing we can do is prepare, and prepare to share what we prepare. Those who love will be allowed to stay and evolve.
THIS REPORT IS BOGUS!
Many Americans, not just “older” ones, know to seek truth elsewhere because mass media is interested only in propaganda. The elite know that the more the people are deceived and divided, the longer they get to stay in power.
People when they pull the plug money will be worthless, it is happening in many countries right now!!!
When disasters strike the store shelves are emptied in less than 24 Hours.
There is usually much chaos, and beat downs at the grocery stores.
Just last summer the Government was using media platforms to send a message (Ads) telling people to prepare for disaster, “Tomorrow, may be the Day After”
I figured there was someone in Government trying to get the message out to Americans the best way they could.
I took the info serious, and stocked up. I don’t have much funds, but I used my know how to get stocked.
I stocked up on, Rice, Beans, Flour, Corn Meal, Honey, Yeast, Some can Goods, Seeds, Molasses, Canned vegetable oil, All types of dried grains, canning home grown vegetables, store back seed potatoes, and dry okra seed pods for future seed. Mainly collect every seed you can.
Now we keep the Garden growing all year by rotating areas, and crops.
Nothing is wasted, all vegetable scraps are fed to the chickens, in return they lay large eggs, and also produce highly potent chicken shit for fertilizer.
Using the Raised Garden Bed Chicken shit method will keep the soil very warm during the winter, so your crop does not freeze.
There is something very wrong, when out, and about people are in fear, as if some unknown force is driving terror among the masses.
Also rumours of people moving from the cities
The tensions is so thick it is like static electricity.
History has shown that in the past that countries have indeed started wars with pre-emptive strikes.
Also Natural Disasters.
Plus there are evil people/groups that also cause chaos, and carnage
Good Luck
Old news and superstaion95 has been offline for weeks. Why did you post this crap?
Old stories recirculating.

Sigh. You got panic between your ears. Nothing that’s posted on this site is real. So get lost or w/e. Go sprout these lies to you family and friends. Then see how you’ll be looked at LOL! Ffing charlatan. That’s the only thing you are.
