What world government? You must be a crazy conspiracy theorist! Nothing to see here….

I’m not seeing the world government part.  I didn’t look at every page. It just looks like the usual elitist global warming, world peace pap.  It’s got condeliza rice and Colin powel on the front page, who are Bush new world order types. But other than that, I’m not seeing it.

I see a lot of globalist corporations and individuals along with a strong antiAmerica First message to spread to political candidates up and down the ballots in local and national races.

Gigacide Meaning
Gigacide means a mass murder of a billion or more people. There was no word for this so fashioned the tool from words I found in a drawer. I sometimes do this, such as the word AfPak War. I made that up. You may see New York Times article in which the author is trying to figure out where it came from. It came from me and then gained global usage.

I also made up Kopp-Echells Effect. Some of your donations have added to progress in languages. Thank you!






American war correspondent and photographer Michael Yon named the halo that is caused by dust striking helicopter blades the Kopp-Etchells effect after two soldiers, one American, the other British -- Cpl. Benjamin Kopp and Cpl. Joseph Etchells -- who died in Afghanistan in July 2009. Usually only seen overseas because it requires large, powerful helicopters (often military) and lots of dust, the Kopp-Etchells effect occurs because sand particles are harder than the metal abrasion strips, typically titanium or nickel, placed on helicopter rotor blades. When the sand hits the metal, the surface begins to erode and sparks fly.

The Washington Standard A List of 33 Things we know About the Coming Food Shortages	CNBC Heres why Food Shortages Are Unlikely to Occur in the U.S.
#1 The hard red winter wheat crop in the United States this year “was the smallest since 1963”.	The war in Ukraine is putting a massive strain on the global food supply.
#2 It is being projected that the rice harvest in California will be “half what it would be in a normal year”.	Food prices are rising at historic rates, while prices for commodities like wheat and corn are at their highest levels in a decade.
#3 The U.S. tomato harvest will come in at just 10.5 million tons in 2022.  That is over a million tons lower than a normal year.	Despite those factors, experts don’t expect food shortages to occur in the United States.
#4 This will be the worst U.S. corn harvest in at least a decade.	“It’s important to realize that the U.S. doesn’t import very much from Ukraine,” explained Joseph Glauber, a senior research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute.
#5 Year-to-date shipments of carrots in the United States are down 45 percent	“We may see some shelves that are empty for various kinds of food products like we have for a while now as we recover from the pandemic,” said Scott Irwin, chair of agricultural marketing at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “But I can say with some real confidence that in the United States, the average consumer is not going to see a shortage of bread because of what’s going on in Ukraine.
#6 Year-to-date shipments of sweet corn in the United States are down 20 percent.
#7 Year-to-date shipments of sweet potatoes in the United States are down 13 percent.
#8 Year-to-date shipments of celery in the United States are down 11 percent.
#9 Total peach production in the U.S. is down 15 percent from last year.

Blah, blah, blah.

Nobody really knows, but there sure is a lot of repeating talking points.

The horrors of Hollywood movies can’t compare to what horrors the real world will produce.


China Pairs Armed Robot Dogs With Drones That Can Drop Them Anywhere

Russians embrace precious metals: Sberbank sold 89 tonnes of silver and 7 tonnes of gold in 2022

Russia's largest lender Sberbank sold 100 tonnes of precious metals, and 89 tonnes of that was silver.

Sberbank customers have opened 300,000 new unallocated metal accounts between January and September, Interfax reported, citing the bank's statement this week.

And the total amount of precious metals sold was around 100 tonnes. According to the bank, nearly seven tonnes of that was gold, 89 tons was silver, and a tonne each of platinum and palladium.

On gold, Russians spent around $550 million at Sberbank.

Unallocated precious metal accounts mean the bank remains the owner of the precious metal bought, and the clients' accounts only get credited. Sberbank has developed the option of unallocated precious metals accounts to expedite the process of opening the account and selling precious metals.

Back in March, Russians went on a gold-buying spree as the ruble collapsed following the country's invasion of Ukraine.

Major local banks have reported a surge in demand for gold as Russians rushed to invest in the bullion and coins to protect their savings. The country's central bank even had to temporarily halt the country's own gold purchases from local banks to leave the inventory for regular consumers.

During the same month, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law scrapping the 20% value-added tax on metals purchases. The move was designed to encourage the buying of precious metals over foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar and euro at a time when the Russian ruble was plummeting.

Dwindling Mississippi Grounds Barges, Threatens Shipments
Largest barge operator in the US declares force majeure
River isn’t set to see replenishing rainfalls anytime soon

A logjam of more than 100 ships, tugboats and their convoys of barges in the shrinking Mississippi River is threatening to grind trade of grains, fertilizer, metals and petroleum to a halt.

The largest US barge operator warned customers it won’t be able to make good on deliveries. Ingram Barge Co. declared force majeure in a letter to customers due to “near-historic” low water conditions on the Mississippi, the top route to get US grains and soybeans to the world market.

Drought has reduced water levels along the biggest US waterway by so much that vessels are running aground. The Coast Guard is responding to grounded vessels in at least two places, near Stack Island between Louisiana and Mississippi, and upriver near Memphis, according to a statement. American Commercial Barge Line, another shipping company, said on in a post on its website that it’s the most severe impact to navigation since 1988.

Barge Backup on the Mighty Mississippi
Coast Guard responds to grounded vessels near Memphis, Stack Island

Covered barges full of grain and soy float from U.S. farm country to terminals in the Gulf of Mexico, while crude oil, refined products and imported steel also travel through sections of the waterway. Some 60% of all grain exported from the US is shipped on the Mississippi River through the Port of New Orleans and the Port of South Louisiana, according to the National Park Service.

The logjam is coming at the worst time as the soybean and corn harvests are each about one-fifth complete and supplies will start piling up. The river woes, coupled with a soaring dollar, are destroying demand for US supplies even with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine still impeding shipments in the Black Sea.

“We’re losing demand because of reduced export capacity,” Susan David, grain analyst in St. Louis, said by phone. “We’re creating piles everywhere.”

The Coast Guard said there was a queue of 122 vessels at Stack Island and 15 vessels at Memphis. Due to increased groundings, the number of vessels in tow is being restricted.

Meanwhile, any snags in fertilizer shipments -- which farmers rely on to plant crops for next year -- are happening as nutrients to grow food have soared and as Hurricane Ian temporarily shut production at a Mosaic Co. fertilizer plant in Florida.

“The Mississippi River is vital to the fertilizer transportation network,” said Alexis Maxwell, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence.

A peaking La Nina is limiting storms coming in from the southwest that would replenish rivers, and any significant relief is unlikely through the first 10 days of November, according to World Weather Inc. president Drew Lerner.

“I don’t have a major storm coming up for the balance of the month,” Lerner said. “I’m a little pessimistic and not feeling good about the situation.”

I could definitely live with that.  

That last thing, I mean.  The other stuff sounds kind of bad.  

I believe that’s what they refer to in the movie business as foreshadowing except in this movie, we’re not just watching it, we’re living it.

Even if just restricted to that, think that won’t have an effect globally?

I remember back in the 1990s when the Mississippi flooded WAY over its banks.  

Abundance to nearly bone dry.  More foreshadowing?

This war will only get bigger.

@disclosetv 🧐Keep your eyes out for a dirty bomb false flag by the deep state!!! Either that or a real nuke will be used in Europe somewhere!!

Why did OP change the thread title?

Didnt it used to say August or September at the latest?

Never did.  That’s something others brought into the discussion.

The original thread title was simply A Dire Warning from Michael Yon.  I just added Food Shortages & Global Famine in the title for clarity.


and that was back in May.

China doesn’t want to be left out of this coming Armageddon Party.

And no one would say August or September if they were paying attention anyway. The harvest just now came in. But people love to try to discredit current world events for some reason.

There was this thread, which had July - August in the title.

If there’s going to be a designated month in an election year, at least have it as the month or the month after the election is held in.

I worked on CH47 Chinooks in Vietnam. The front rotor tilts more than the rear in order to pull the craft forward. There are swashplates that cause each blade to change its pitch in different positions as the heads rotate to give fine maneuvering control.

@planemaker

OMG, imagine the irony of the U.S. supporting the Russians in a war against China.

Wasn't there a line in a documentary about 600 million screaming Chinamen being on our side?

Yeah, August and September were dates that were brought up because that’s when we would start to have hard data on Northern hemisphere fall harvests, not because people were expecting famines to start in August and September.  Famines, if and when they occur this year are more likely to hit in March and April.

Will this lead to a shortage of Somalis??  

And for no reason at all. None of this had to happen, it's being done intentionally, like that stick in the bicycle wheel meme.

People have literally been brainwashed into believing success is bad and we should choose austerity.

Rush used to point out on his show that success isn't mutually exclusive, it doesn't take from others. I'm totally not saying it right, maybe someone else remembers.

Of course this doesn't seem to include the politicians and globalists.

Prosperity does not have to be a zero sum game.

Democrats believe for one person to gain, someone else must lose.  

But Rush said that in a prosperous economy, everyone can gain because the level of prosperity for everyone goes up through increased productivity.  As someone, Reagan perhaps, once said, a rising tide lifts all boats.

I once opined a couple of decades ago about how our industry was moving to China.  On the one hand, I enjoyed the cheap prices Chinese labor produced. But on the other hand, I knew in the long run, it reduced American prosperity because our productivity decreased. We became a nation of consumers rather than producers.  

We can change that.  But it will require more than investment and canny business acumen. It will require a work ethic that seems to have disappeared somewhere along the way.  That is why Marxist economies never prosper. People perceive the only way to get rich is in non productive ways like political position or corruption.  Such things tear away the work ethic most people are born with.

Gangster War
07 October 2022
London, England

Starlink communications problems reported in Ukraine. Elon Musk provides Starlink communications to Ukrainians. Now, with global toes hanging over precipice of nuclear Armageddon, Elon Musk suggested political resolution. To which the weakly educated Ukrainian thugs responded with verbal attacks on Musk.

Mr T-shirt Zelensky, the actor hired to pretend to be leader of Ukraine, even calls for first strike war on Russia. Which of course would mean full/scale nuclear combat with hydrogen bombs, EMP galore. Gigacide. Followed by Road Warrior and World War IV of sticks and stones, as one wise man predicted.

Maybe the thug Ukrainians don’t realize their gangsterism has limits and their gangster words bring lethal consequences.

Ukrainians publicly abused their Patron Saint of Communications, Elon Musk. Musk can shut them down with a mouse click. Gangsters must learn table manners. Zelensky calling for nuclear war.

With ‘allies’ like this, Putin maybe has a point after all.​

The last 2+ years have also arguably been the greatest assault on the middle class and small business owners in the history of the world.  There is no indication that it will stop.  On the contrary, we all know it will get worse, much worse.

That alone has destroyed the work ethic and morale of not just America, but many countries.  The media and governments will point the finger at free enterprise & capitalism as the blame for the coming economic crash and most will gladly give away freedom for perceived security as the new systems are rolled out.

Nord Stream sabotage investigator found dead at home.

It’s worse than I expected.

Translation:  Deputy Head of The Swedish parquet, Erik Ollsen, dead at home Found. Cause bee sting, cremated a few hours later. In charge of investigation into Nordstream sabotage.

Why was he cremated?  To hide the polonium? Poison? To eliminate examination of the bee sting?

And why would the Dutch permit him to be cremated without a thorough investigation?  This is worse than Clintonicide.  This sounds like a Tom Clancy novel with the Dutch government in collusion.
