Study Famine Now
10 October 2022

Any ‘leader’ at this moment who is not cancelling everything to focus on Elections/Energy/Food/Border/War is just a clown. A big clown with a big nose and big goofy shoes.

This is the most serious moment in human history.

This is a great book on famine, btw.

Highly suggest reading five books on famine ASAP.

Interesting speech on how the CCP is going after Okinawa as a way to get to the main island of Japan and how they are are also preparing for a global famine.  Japan is indeed the next target after Taiwan.

Exclusive — Michael Yon: Globalist-Driven Energy Crisis Has Put Europe on Brink of Freezing, Widespread Food Shortages


Michael Yon, a photojournalist specializing in war and a retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, said on Monday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow that the manufactured energy crisis in Europe will lead to famines and freezing across the continent.

The government-driven suppression of fossil fuels by “greenists” and “globalists,” Yon observed, inevitably drives up the costs of food due to inflation of nitrogen-based fertilizers and the logistical costs of transporting foodstuff commodities.

“We’re actually beyond the precipice at this point,” Yon stated. “We’re falling. It’s too late. There’s going to be famine, and the question is, ‘How big and how many people are going to get hit?'”

Fossil fuels cannot be replaced by alternatives marketed by the left as “green” and “renewable” sources of energy, Yon held.

He said, “Some people talk about energy as if everything’s interchangeable, as if solar panels and windmills and nuclear plants can replace natural gas, which [they] simply cannot.”

“Now, of the 26 major plants in Europe that produce nitrogen-based fertilizers, all of them are either closed down or almost closed down,” Yon added. “This will lead to famine. It’s just mathematics at this point.”

The sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline exacerbated an ongoing energy crisis that had already driven Germans and others Europeans to cut down trees for use as heating fuel in winter.

“People are going to literally freeze to death in Germany,” Yon warned. “They’re going to freeze, and then they’re going to starve,” he said of Poland and other European countries.

Yon projected that government-driven suppression of fertilizer production, marketed as a measure to combat “climate change,” will further drive famines in Brazil and India due to globalization of relevant supply chains.

“Countries like Brazil and India, who are entirely dependent on European nitrogen-based fertilizers, they’re simply going to have famine,” he remarked. “There’s just no way out of it at this point.”

Yon has repeatedly cautioned of a growing “triangle of death” and “human osmotic pressure” causing mass migration driven by globalist machinations: pandemics, famines, and wars.

Pandemics, famines, and war “go together,” he emphasized. “You get one, you always get the other two. There is no exception. If you get a large war or a large famine or a large pandemic, you will always get the other two. No exception.”

So, let's parse the numbers.

Take $13 billion.

Assume the cartels make $2500 per human smuggled across the border.

Also assume, for the purposes of easy math, that not a single human crosses the border without paying the fee.

That's 5.2 million illegals in a single year.


And yes, the cartels charge some people more than $2500 (they also charge some people less).  There are also a lot of illegals that don't pay the fee that cross over.

A Morgenthau Plan for the World?

There are many differences, of course. In the 1940s, the Allied plan was to deindustrialize only Germany, Today, the former Allies are de-industralizing their own societies all over Europe, heavy industry by fertilizer factory by farm, and don't forget about the US. It's all so easy after we were  softened up by the initial assault of plandemic lockdown. Back in the 1940s, the deindustrailization of Germany (halted around 1947) was in the name of war reparations; the rationale for depopulation was in ideas of collective retribution. Today, de-industrialization and projected deprivation are in the name of war in Ukraine via push-me pull-you sanctions and shortages; depopulation by "vaccine," of course, is long underway "for our health."

Moscow was behind the original Morgenthau Plan as a means to destroy Germany as a bulwark against its expansion into Europe. Could Moscow be behind the Great Reset today?

No, no, no, the Great Reset is the WEF, you say. Plus, the central bankers and Bill Gates and Big Tech. Plus, the top-down-elites running their nations into the ground. Right you are. I agree. It's a multivariously hideous united front that is making war on our common humanity.

But what really separates the goals of the WEF-world from the goals of Russia? It strikes me that neither side in the war in Ukraine is fighting to prevent  looming famine and want across the world, or to restore and expand the flow of energy, fertilizer and grain to save modern society. The fact is, neither side seems to be the slightest bit concerned about looming famine or the loss of energy, fertilizer and grain, or the loss of modern society.

The reason this is so seems very simple. The quest for the Great Reset demands the absence of food and energy as much as the quest for "Greater Russia"  causes them.

If we dare to look ahead to the dread endgame, after we seem destined to find ourselves in an unprecedented era of society-wide de-industrialization and shortage, who will be the side that has the most energy, the most grain, and the most nukes?

Klaus Schwab?

Opinion: Food inflation has soared in the U.S. And now farmers are planting wheat in the most expensive harvest ever


https://www.marketwatch.com/story/food-inflation-has-soared-in-the-u-s-and-now-farmers-are-planting-wheat-in-the-most-expensive-harvest-ever-11665426242

U.S. farmers are planting wheat during a critical time, as food prices remain high because of a host of issues including widespread inflation, supply-chain snarls, droughts and Russia’s war in Ukraine.

This year’s planting season is fraught for farmers, especially in the Plains states where much of wheat grows. Producers are seeding wheat through a third straight year of drought, and weather forecasts for another La Nina phenomenon — the counterpart to El Nino — means dry conditions are likely to stay.

On Monday, benchmark wheat prices spiked to a two-week high of $9.42 a bushel as Russia bombed several Ukrainian cities, including the capital of Kyiv, in retaliation for Saturday’s destruction of a bridge to Crimea. All of this underscores just how volatile prices are.

The government will release September figures for food and other costs in its Consumer Price Index report Thursday. In its previous release for August, food was one of the biggest contributions to inflation — the index for that category surged 11.4% over 12 months, the biggest gain since 1979.

Drought is limiting wheat yields
Wheat prices spiked to an all-time high of around $12.75/bushel in the early weeks of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, then fell 42% from those highs as the U.S. harvest rolled in, Ukraine exported some grain and recession fears weighed on wheat values.

Since late summer into early fall, prices rose about 20% from lows, in part after the U.S. Department of Agriculture acknowledged this year’s drought-decimated harvest, cutting both yield and harvested acres.

U.S. farmers are about 40% done seeding the winter wheat crop, on track for their usual pace. Wheat prices around $9.50/bushel are well above the 14-year average price of $5.62 for the year ending 2020, according to the University of Illinois.

Whether farmers benefit from those prices is an open question. Sterling Smith, director of agriculture research at AgriSompo North America, said the 2022 crop, whether it was wheat, corn or soybeans, was the most expensive harvest ever because of high prices for inputs such as diesel, natural gas and fertilizer.

It’s going to be another expensive year as energy prices and crop inputs stay costly. The Mosaic Co. MOS, -5.19% said in its August earnings report that nutrient prices are elevated and reduced global supplies for fertilizer ingredients means some demand goes unfulfilled. Other fertilizer companies including CF Industries CF, -2.51%, Nutrien NTR, -3.55% and CVR Partners UAN, -1.14% have echoed similar comments.

Smith said farmers are focusing on their most productive lands and irrigated fields, but with farming, Mother Nature plays a role.

“It’s luck of the draw. If your bad acres that didn’t get fertilized get the rain, and your good acres that got fertilized don’t get the rain, suddenly, you have a problem,” he said.

Logistics problems reduce crop quality
Kathy Kriskey, a commodity exchange traded fund specialist at Invesco, said even with a drought-cut crop, there is enough wheat; the issue is getting it to the right places.

Logistics remain snarled because of the supply-chain issues dating back to the beginning of Covid. A strong U.S. dollar makes U.S. exports more expensive for foreign buyers, while low water levels on the Mississippi River limits how much can be moved. With some of last year’s crops still binned and new supplies of wheat, corn and soybeans coming, those new crops may pile up outside.

The drought affected quality, Smith said, and any crops stored unprotected from weather will see further declines in quality. That will impact food producers ranging from General Mills GIS, 1.74% and Kellogg K, 2.02% to Mondelez MDLZ, 0.88% to Hostess Brands TWNK, 1.26% that may have certain specifications to make their products taste familiar to consumers. That could make high-quality crops very expensive and prices for ordinary or poor-quality crops discounted, he added.

“Food companies are going to have challenges here. This is not good news for food inflation. You could have a situation where grain prices could potentially come down. But food prices are going go up because of quality issues,” he said.

‘Elephant in the room’
Ukraine exported some grain this summer under the Black Sea Grain Initiative, a deal between Russia and Ukraine, which helped cap wheat prices, but how much those farmers can plant for next year’s harvest is open to debate, said Jerry Gidel, an analyst at Midland Research.

Recently, Moscow claimed to have annexed Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson, and a USDA map shows the four regions represent 21% of Ukraine’s wheat-producing areas.

“The big elephant in the room is the Ukrainian food corridor, with our friend Mr. Putin running the show and threatening to use nuclear warheads and declaring areas his property,” Gidel said.

Wheat prices for all three exchanges — Chicago Board of Trade, Kansas City and Minneapolis — spiked on the pickup in the Russian-Ukraine war over the weekend. However, Kriskey said as the benchmark, the CBOT is where market speculators express their views on the situation in Ukraine.

“People think Ukraine equals wheat. … Even though they’re trading a U.S. contract, they’re basically (saying) this is where I want to put my money,” she said.

The Invesco DB Agriculture ETF DBA, -0.29% has a 12.5% weighting to wheat, which tracks both CBOT and Kansas City wheat futures. The Teucrium Wheat ETF WEAT, -2.62% follows CBOT wheat futures.

Besides droughts in the U.S. and Europe hampering production, Argentina’s crop is also being hit by La Nina-induced dryness, Gidel said. Canada and Australia have ample crops that help global supplies. Russia also had a hefty harvest, but its exports were limited to countries it is friendly with, such as Syria and other parts of the Mideast, he added.

Kriskey said the Black Sea Grain Initiative expires in late November, and she added that Putin has complained that much of that wheat is going to the EU, with only one-third going to low-income countries.

Gidel said wheat often is under the radar because it’s grown and available everywhere. But he said the Ukraine situation remains a powder keg, especially if Russia decides to shut off Ukrainian exports, which could lift futures prices. “Wheat can be an $8 item, or a $12 item,” he said.

That could spell trouble for consumers again. “Food costs in in the bread aisle and the cereal aisle. This fall and winter could be quite interesting,” Gidel said.

I couldn’t help but think of the “a day’s wage for a loaf of bread” verse from Revelation when reading this, which prompted me to do a search that found the following article.  Just something to ponder.




A Day’s Wage for a Loaf of Bread


“When He opened the the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, ‘Come’.  And I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand.  And I heard as it were a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”  Revelation 6:6


The verse above is the description of the 3rd of 7 seal judgments of the 7 year tribulation, or 70th Week of Daniel.  My goal here is to bear out the possibility that we are now living in the circumstances that will lead to the fulfillment of this verse in the tribulation period.  These circumstances are being driven by what is called Modern Monetary Theory, which is now being fully implemented by our government and the rest of the world.  I’ll get into this in a minute.

You can find various perspectives regarding the meaning of the above passage.  It is pretty much a universal belief that a denarius was about a day’s wage when John wrote Revelation.  Matthew 20:2 seems to confirm it.  And a quart of wheat would make a loaf of bread.

What is not obvious is what the scales, oil and wine represent.

Some interpret this passage as famine with hyperinflation.  Seems reasonable.  Although the 4th seal is the judgment death-by-famine-and-pestilence, and not the 3rd seal.  That brings into question the scales, oil and wine and their meaning.

I interpret this verse symbolically.  The scales are clearly symbolic of something, as are the oil and wine.

Some say the scales represent famine because it would be necessary to measure out the wheat and barley carefully and precisely, due to scarcity.  Some say they represent judgment.  From what I can tell, this is primarily because our symbol of justice is lady liberty holding a sword and scales.

I think perhaps the scales represent balance and fairness, or justness.  I also have an idea that the oil and wine represent plenty and abundance.  Bread was a basic staple, but oil and wine were luxuries.  

This passage may be describing a situation where hyperinflation is rampant and those with little can barely pay for basic necessities.  However, in this not-so-distant future period, the wealthy are not suffering, and still can have their treats.

Today in the U.S. and the world, economic inequality, whether measured through the gaps in income or wealth between richer and poorer households, continues to widen.  According to the Pew Research Center, “the wealth gap among upper-income families and middle- and lower-income families is sharper than the income gap and is growing more rapidly”.

For people like Harari, this is a real goal: “The leading project of the Scientific Revolution is to give humankind eternal life.” They want to live forever & regard human frailty as a weakness - when it is really one of our greatest strengths. A man like this cannot understand the concept of giving your life to save another because nobility, humanity & humility are not part of his psyche & of no value in a world where he lives forever as a god.



Excerpt from Chapter 14 – Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Until recently, you would not have heard scientists, or anyone else, speak so bluntly. “Defeat death?! What nonsense! We are only trying to cure cancer, tuberculosis, and Alzheimer’s disease,” they insisted. People avoided the issue of death because the goal seemed too elusive. Why create unreasonable expectations? We’re now at a point, however, where we can be frank about it. The leading project of the Scientific Revolution is to give humankind eternal life. Even if killing death seems a distant goal, we have already achieved things that were inconceivable a few centuries ago.

I haven’t even watched all of it yet, but wow!

Synopsis:
We will not be affected by fertilizer shortage until next year. But the three years of drought we are experiencing now has severely decreased the amount of grain in the USA.  Ranchers are culling their herds now because they can’t feed them or get enough water. So prices in a year or two will skyrocket. Oklahoma ranchers predicted ground beef could reach $50/lb in two years.

I'm sure they *wish* it could go to $50/lb. I wouldn't count on it. The beef market would collapse because nobody could afford it.

Some of the small cattle ranchers up where my brother lives have been cutting back their herds due to the drought. Lack of water and high feed prices (since grazing is problematic due to the drought) are causing them to cut back. Lots of folks selling at the same time drives down prices initially but ensures much higher prices in a year or so.

Well, looks like The Court Jester is available on Pluto now.  Don’t know if it has anything with Angela Lansbury or not but I may have to watch it while it’s still available to watch for free.

Chicken prices are pretty high now, maybe not $50/lb. but definitely has increased dramatically already.  I wouldn’t be surprised if beef did go that high.


If it does, that would be another dystopian reality from Soylent Green.

Chicken prices are down a lot. I paid $15 for 10 lb's of breasts and they had drums [legs] for $5 for 5 lb's.

This is not correct.  Chicken has dropped tremendously on the wholesale market in the last number of weeks.  Earlier this year I was paying $ 4.00 per lb for boneless skinless chicken breast.  My price on about 3,000 lbs being delivered this Friday will be between $ 1.20 to $ 1.30 a lb.  There is also zero chance of ground beef reaching $ 50.00 in a year or two - excluding the possibility of US hyperinflation.  South American imports will keep the price far lower than that.  There is great reason to be concerned, but it is also important to be accurate with our figures & concerns.

Well, this was unexpected.

I was doing my daily Bible study this morning, and was led by the Spirit to the book of Leviticus, which I typically avoid.  For those of you who do not know, this is where the laws were laid down for the children of Israel on how to conduct religious services, and also how to conduct themselves in their daily lives.  We all know pork was forbidden to them.  Many other things were too, like shell fish.

New International Version
Leviticus 11:20 All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be regarded as unclean by you. 21 There are, however, some flying insects that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. 22 Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. 23 But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean.

I have read this before years ago, but thought little of it.  I had no desire then, nor now, to eat crickets and thought it was a non-issue for us modern people.  But given the recent push towards eating crickets, this took me by surprise.  I mention this because I have read a number of times here on arfcom that crickets have chiton in them, which is bad for humans.  But the Lord's food rules were designed to keep the Israelites healthy.

I really don't know what to make of all this.  I know that permitting them to eat crickets is not the same things as commanding them to eat crickets, and I have no intention of eating crickets.  But now I wonder if this is the Lord telling us it is okay, or whether this is some trickery by the devil to subvert God's will by taking His Word out of context.  It would not be the first time he used such deceptive tactics.
