“Inflation is coming down,” Presidentish Joe Biden insisted in his State of the Union address earlier this month, but new figures show Biden is full of the usual malarkey. “We have more to do, but here at home, inflation is coming down.” Meanwhile, I went to fill up my car yesterday but escrow fell through.

At least I’m not in the market for a new car, something most Americans used to look forward to, but which is increasingly out of reach for millions. Fortune reported last week that “new cars are now toys for the rich,” as “the average price for a new vehicle in the US has jumped to almost $50,000.”

That’s up 30 percent since just 2019. Worse, rising interest rates — a harsh necessity to tame inflation — have caused monthly payments to rise even faster. That shiny new car you might have had your eye on will now cost an eye-watering $777 in base payments alone.

“Every aspect of buying and owning a car has gotten more expensive and outpaced the rate of inflation so it’s important to be more knowledgeable,” CarEdge expert Zach Shefska told Buffalo’s WHRZ News last week.

The average monthly loan payment for a used car is up to $544. As a young lad of 19, way back when, I once spent $700 on a good enough used car, if barely. Not $700 monthly. Total.

There is a silver lining to Biden’s dark cloud of inflation — if you’re a car manufacturer, that is. Car sales might be down — 8% since 2021 — but profits are going nowhere but up. “Ford’s gross profit rose 4.4% in 2022 from a year earlier,” according to that Fortune report, “while GM’s adjusted earnings grew by about $200 million to reach $14.5 billion.” Tesla made an annual profit of $12.6 billion in 2022, with revenues up 51 percent over 2021, “despite missing its sales forecast.”

Must be nice.

Did you want to fill’er up, too? Gas prices are “primed to rise in a few weeks,” according to GasBuddy. They’re already on the way up in the West where I live. Here in Colorado, the average price for a gallon of regular is back up over $4 after briefly dipping to around $3 last year. Californians are closing in on $5 once more, already at nearly $4.75.

Somehow though, a gallon of gas in California is still less than a dozen eggs almost anywhere. “The average price of a dozen large Grade A eggs ran at $4.82 in January,” according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics last week. Not only are those eggs more expensive than the most expensive gallon of regular in the country, but it’s also more than the price of a pound of ground beef — that’s the first time eggs have eclipsed ground beef since BLS started tracking those prices more than 40 years ago.

In states like Colorado, where Democrats have passed strict laws regulating how chickens are kept, prices are even higher. My local Kroger-owned grocery store’s house-brand large white eggs are $4.99. The jumbo size will cost you more.

Home price inflation continues, albeit more slowly than before. Prices rose “only” 7.7 percent annually last November, down from October’s hectic 9.2 percent annualized increase. Nevertheless, monthly payments are going up unabated — just like monthly car payments — due to rising interest rates. “Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the average on the benchmark 30-year rate rose to 6.32% from 6.12% last week,” according to ABC News. “The average rate a year ago was 3.92%.”

That’s Joe Biden’s inflation tax making us all poorer, just trying to buy the same food, cars, and houses we could buy before his spending orgy began.

The Left is winning its war on the American middle class through attrition.

US, States Seek Farmland Restrictions for Foreign Nationals

US, States Seek Farmland Restrictions for Foreign Nationals

Days after the suspected Chinese spy balloon crossed the nation, Americans are questioning how our government can keep us secure and protect us from any and all threats from countries like China. This includes asking why foreign countries currently own about 897 million acres of American farm and forest land.

A Montana rancher, Michael Miller, who witnessed last week’s Chinese balloon pass overhead questioned China’s potential threat to our nation’s economy. “Like many throughout the country, Miller wonders if stricter laws are needed to bar farmland sales to foreign nationals so power over agriculture and the food supply doesn’t end up in the wrong hands,” reported the Associated Press. 

“It’s best not to have a foreign entity buying up land, especially one that’s not really friendly to us,” Miller told AP. “They are just going to take us over economically, instead of military-wise.” 

Many lawmakers across the nation feel the same way about foreign countries purchasing land, leading to at least 11 state legislatures considering measures to address their concerns. That includes Montana and North Dakota, where the “U.S. Air Force recently warned that a $700 million corn mill proposed near a military base by the American subsidiary of a Chinese company would risk national security.” 

Last week, Senators Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) introduced the Promoting Agriculture Safeguards and Security (PASS) Act “aimed at preventing China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea from investing in, purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring U.S. farmland.” 

In their joint press release, Tester and Rounds declared: 

“As a third-generation Montana farmer, I’m not going to sit back and let our foreign adversaries weaken our national security by buying up American farmland,” said Tester. “That’s why I’m proud to be joining my friend Senator Rounds on this bipartisan effort to prevent foreign entities from acquiring U.S. farmland and ensure our farmers have a seat at the table when the government makes decisions impacting our national security.” 

“Protecting American farmland is critical to maintaining our national security,” said Rounds. “In my travels around South Dakota, I have heard from many farmers and ranchers who are concerned about foreign adversaries owning American farmland. It is time to put a stop to this and take action. This legislation makes certain American interests are protected by blacklisting foreign adversaries from purchasing land or businesses involved in agriculture.” 

Not only are lawmakers seeking to keep foreign adversaries from investing in American land and businesses, but some are also seeking to outright ban these countries’ citizens from buying land. USA Today shared that “lawmakers in Texas, Florida, Arkansas and in Congress have proposed laws banning citizens of China from buying land, homes or other buildings in the United States.” 

A proposed bill (SB-147) in the Texas statehouse would bar purchases by people from North Korea, Russia, Iran, and China, including green-card holders, visa holders, and asylum seekers. The laws would not apply to U.S. citizens. Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) earlier this year said he would sign it.  

USA Today reported that “opponents of the proposals say backers are using familiar rhetoric to advance a racist agenda exploiting fear to attack outsiders”: 

“It’s a resurrection of the ‘Yellow Peril’: We are outsiders who are threats,” said Russell Jeung, a professor of Asian American studies at San Francisco State University. “They are creating policies that aren’t grounded in evidence or sound economic analysis, but are really based on stereotypes and outsized fears. And it works.” 

Manjusha Kulkarni, executive director of AAPI Equity Alliance and founder of Stop AAPI Hate said, “It is scapegoating, it’s stigmatizing, and it plays into the view of Chinese Americans and Asian Americans as the perpetual foreigner: They can never be American enough, and when you put these policies into place, you perpetuate that stigma and the attacks on Asian Americans.” 

Lawmakers seeking the restrictive legislation fear that the Chinese government is exploiting the openness of our society to spy, steal trade secrets, and otherwise undercut the United States by controlling critical supply chains. As of 2019, Smithfield Foods, a Chinese-owned company, held 76 percent of Chinese-owned farmland across the nation. They export pork products to China as the country seeks food resources around the world.  

A recent report from the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission warned that China’s need for food is driving its efforts to buy farmland abroad, along with buying or stealing the technology behind genetically modified crops, sophisticated livestock management systems, and advanced farming equipment. 

“The United States is a global leader in all of these fields, making it a prime trading partner and often a target of China’s efforts to strengthen its agriculture sector and food security, sometimes through illicit means,” the report said. “These efforts present several risks to U.S. economic and national security.” 

Foreign investment in the United States — especially from North Korea, Russia, Iran, and China — should be questioned and monitored as a potential threat. American lawmakers are on the right path to keeping our land secure while protecting our nation’s sovereignty.

A commercial chicken coop recently went up in flames for unknown reasons. If this were a one-off event, it would probably be unremarkable. But, as Jeff Reynolds has previously documented, there appears to be a pattern of infernos engulfing food production and processing sites.

Via NBC Connecticut:

More than 100 firefighters worked to put out a large fire at an egg farm in Bozrah on Saturday.

Firefighters said the fire was in a 50 foot by 600 foot operating chicken coop at Hillandale Farms on Schwartz Road.

Crews from 16 surrounding departments including Colchester, East Haddam, Salem, Gardner Lake, Lebanon, Franklin, Yantic and Sterling, Taftville, Montville, Oakdale and Lisbon and more than 100 firefighters total responded to the scene.

It’s unclear what may have started the fire. [emphasis added]

If you pay close attention to these stories, a recurring theme is either real or feigned uncertainty of the cause by the authorities.

Tucker Carlson, virtually alone in the legacy media, did an excellent segment recently chronicling the bizarre food processor fire phenomenon and the wider egg shortage issue.

Is this all just a massive coincidence? It’s certainly possible. Stranger things have occurred. But, again, there appears to be a clear pattern. Beyond speculation, here’s what we know:

  • The peasants are not to consume meat in the new techno-utopia per directives from the WEF and filtered down to the national and local levels of occupied territories.
  • Starvation is an excellent social control tool that has been used strategically throughout history by authoritarian regimes — Stalin, Mao, etc.
  • We know next to nothing about what the Deep State, particularly the intelligence agencies, do in the dark. Congressional oversight is a sick joke. What we do know is that they are extremely well-funded, and they have no issue violating the limits of their intended scope. If the CIA is capable of orchestrating an assassination of a sitting U.S. president, which increasingly moves out of the conspiracy theory realm into conspiracy fact, then blowing up rural egg farms is comparatively a logistical cakewalk.
  • The corporate media is largely silent on the agricultural fire phenomenon, which usually indicates they would rather keep it out of the public discourse, possibly to avert a serious investigation into the cause.

You put the rest of the puzzle pieces together however you please. We’re left to figure serious issues like this out on our own because our government if it can be called “ours,” has no interest in tackling actual fundamental Public Health™ issues like whether the techno-slaves have food to eat.

USDA Partners with Groups Linked to Terror to Bring Halal Food to Muslims

When there is more to Hamas and hummus than just similar-sounding names

BY JOE KAUFMAN

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/usda-partners-with-groups-linked-to-terror-to-bring-halal-food-to-muslims/;

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the section of our government that is responsible for ensuring that our food is safe for American consumption. Yet, when it comes to food consumed by Muslim Americans, the USDA has been relying on groups associated with terrorism – the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and Islamic Relief (IR) – for assistance and is even partnering with these groups. The following will explain why our government needs to break ties with these radical outfits and worry not just about food safety, but national security.

According to ICNA Relief, the social services division of ICNA, the group has been “working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the past two years to provide guidance on expanding halal food options through the emergency food assistance program (TEFAP)… In the future, we will be working to educate USDA suppliers, distributors, and wholesalers on the requirements of halal certification.”

The USDA states on its website, “For specific Halal information the following organizations may be helpful: ICNA Relief [and] Islamic Relief USA.”  The USDA website also lists Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA) as a USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) “partner organization.” IRUSA is the US branch of IR. IR’s global headquarters, Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), is based in Birmingham, England.

ICNA was founded as the American arm of the South Asian Islamist group Jamaat-e-Islami (JI). As such, ICNA has significant links to South Asian terrorists. For over three decades, ICNA has harbored former JI killing squad commander Ashrafuzzaman Khan, who, in November 2013, was sentenced to death (in absentia) for the murders of 18 people during the 1971 Bangladesh genocide. Khan has served as ICNA Vice President and ICNA-New York President. ICNA has as well collaborated with and promoted Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), a banned front for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the group behind the November 2008 Mumbai, India terror attacks.

ICNA has been linked to terrorist financing. In August 2006, ICNA was a top donor and partner to JI charity Al-Khidmat Foundation (AKF), at the same time AKF led a delegation to Damascus, Syria to hand deliver $100,000 to the then-global head of Hamas, Khaled Mashal, at his residence. ICNA continues to be a partner and donor to AKF. In October 2000, ICNA placed on its website links to the official sites of Hamas and Hezbollah as well as a directive issued by then-ICNA President Mohammad Yunus to provide “material support” to “fellow Chechnyan Muslims,” while providing a link to qoqaz.net (‘Jihad in Chechnya’), a financing/recruitment website for al-Qaeda.

ICNA has an Islamic outreach (dawah) division, WhyIslam. On the WhyIslam website, one finds an essay, ‘Gender Equity in Islam,’ sanctioning domestic violence. It states, “[W]omen on whose part you fear disloyalty… beat them.” Not long ago, the site featured a message board used by forum moderators to make posts deriding Jews and supporting Hamas and Israel’s destruction. One moderator, Marwan, discussing an Indian eatery called “Hitler’s cross,” vilely joked, “Nazi restaurant… I wonder if they have kosher meals.” Another said that Jews who speak against Israel… “deserve peace and life… The rest will one day end up in the Mediterranean sea.”

Like ICNA, Islamic Relief has several ties to overseas terrorism. As a result, IR has been banned by a number of nations. In May 2006, Israel labeled IR a front for Hamas. In November 2014, the UAE government designated IR as a terrorist group. Also in 2014, Britain’s HSBC bank cut ties with Islamic Relief over concerns about “terrorist financing.” And in October 2017, Bangladesh’s NGO Affairs Bureau banned Islamic Relief in fear the group would conduct terrorist recruitment of Myanmar refugees. In November 1999, it was reported that Islamic Relief had collected and sent over $6 million to Chechen rebels with ties to Al-Qaeda.

IRUSA board member and ex-Chairman, Khaled Lamada, has used social media to promote the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. According to the Middle East Forum, “Lamada has circulated text praising the ‘jihad’ of the ‘Mujahidin of Egypt’ for ‘causing the Jews many defeats’” and “republished claims on Facebook that praise Hamas for inflicting a ‘huge defeat’ against the ‘Zionist entity.’” In June 2015, Lamada tweeted that it is “absurd” to classify Hamas “as a terrorist organization.” Lamada has visited suicide bombing supporter Mazen Mokhtar at the hospital and praised anti-Semitic Egyptian cleric Salah Sultan as “the honor of the homeland.”

What could possibly be the legitimate reason for the USDA or any governmental organization to partner with either ICNA or Islamic Relief? In truth, there is none. These groups are dangerous to society and threats to national security. Their associations with terror and bigotry render any expertise that they may or may not have in Halal food moot.

Instead of embracing these groups, as the USDA has done, the agency should look to shut them down. There is no excuse to partner with either of these two radical entities, as a partnership implies an acceptance of the hatred and violence they are linked to.

IMMINENT FOOD CRISIS! – Fuel Shortage Could Lead To SOCIETAL COLLAPSE! – What You NEED To Know!

Josh Sigurdson reports on the controlled collapse of the supply chain and the grid as we come up on a complete collapse of the fuel supply in the United States and very little being done about it.

With less than 15 days left of the diesel supply, many are warning to deaf ears that the supply chain could see a complete collapse the likes of which we've never seen. Many experts and banks are even saying we are facing societal collapse.

We tried to warn Europe and few listened. Now they're facing the consequences if they did not prepare. Now it's coming to the United States.

All the while, the governments of the world are exacerbating the crisis in every way humanly possible and it all leads to the planned collapse of an empire and the rise of a new world order based on a cashless society, a Great Reset, and a controlled technocracy based in social credit and carbon credits.

“Let Them Eat Worms!” Schools in The Netherlands Offer Children Worms as Food

“Let Them Eat Worms!” Schools in The Netherlands Offer Children Worms as Food

When the World Economic Forum and other globalists began suggesting that the world could be “conditioned” to eat weeds and insects as part of a plan to use “alternative” and more “sustainable” foods to cut down on livestock farming, which the climate hysterics claim is a large contributor to global warming, the tendency of many was to smirk and dismiss the idea as absurd.

Unfortunately, hundreds of schools in The Netherlands have taken the idea to heart and have begun feeding elementary school children mealworms, Lupine worms, and other insects in an effort to destigmatize the eating of bugs going forward, as a part of their “Taste Mission Adventurous Proteins” campaign, a part of Dutch Food Week, which occurred last week.

The goal of the program is, apparently, to both encourage and normalize the ingestion of insects as a meat substitute and as a more “sustainable” option for food going forward. The program looks to bring about “behavioral changes” in children so that they embrace more “sustainable food.”

The European Union (EU) food safety agency found that mealworms and certain other insects were safe for human consumption and approved them for sale in late 2021. Yellow mealworms when dried are said to taste like peanuts.

“There are clear environmental and economic benefits if you substitute traditional sources of animal proteins with those that require less feed, produce less waste and result in fewer greenhouse gas emissions,” said Italian economic statistician Mario Mazzocchi. “Lower costs and prices could enhance food security and new demand will open economic opportunities too, but these could also affect existing sectors.”

The Dutch government has been engaged in a systematic thinning of the nation’s agricultural industry with onerous new emission targets, which farmers say will drive many out of business. The Netherlands is aiming for a 30-percent reduction in livestock overall as a part of their goal to reach “net zero” emissions by 2050.

The Netherlands is not the only nation participating in the “Great Reset” goal of moving to a bug-based diet. In Australia, more than a thousand schools are offering chips laced with cricket protein made by the edible bug company Circle Harvest.

“Made with all-natural ingredients we’ve hopped up the nutrition in our tasty Cricket Corn Chips using a new little ingredient…Crickets!” Circle Harvest’s website claims. “With an awesome crunchy texture and mouth-watering flavor you’ll be singing (or chirping) for more.”

“You are already eating insects — you just don’t know,” said the company’s founder Skye Blackburn, an entomologist. “It’s better for you, and it’s better for the planet,” Blackburn claimed.

Globalists have even coined a new term for edible insects, referring to them as “micro-livestock.” Actress Nicole Kidman used the term when she filmed a video for Vanity Fair in 2018.

“I’m here to reveal my hidden talent, eating micro livestock.’” Kidman says in the video, which goes on to show her choking down an assortment of bug-based cuisine.

“Two billion people in the world eat bugs, and I’m one of them,” the actress claims.

Despite the EU’s and the World Economic Forum’s insistence that bugs are just fine to eat, the jury’s still out according to some scientists.

“There are no specific limits for insects in foods; however, the presence of foreign objects such as insects may render food unsuitable,” a spokesperson for the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) told The Epoch Times.

“The Code specifies that food businesses take all necessary steps to prevent the likelihood of food becoming contaminated, such as keeping food processing areas and equipment clean, well maintained and free of pests,” the spokesperson went on to say.

Getting to children in order to change minds on what much of civilization has determined is disgusting is foremost on the minds of the globalists who would have us eat insects.

“Our research suggests that some disgust responses, once set early in childhood, are hard to shift,” writes University of Auckland Professor of Health Psychology Nathan Consedine. “But responses involving culturally conditioned ideas of what is ‘natural’ may be modified over time.”

“Given evidence about how much of which we consider disgusting is cultural and learned, marketing campaigns could help shift attitudes about what is ‘natural,’” Consedine said.

So, if the globalists can just “market” bug eating in the right way, they think it’ll no longer be revolting. And the Great Reset proponents are not above using children as guinea pigs for their nefarious purposes.

Food inflation hits 40% as CPI explodes; inflation reaches catastrophic 40-year high as Biden puts America on the path of Sri Lanka

BY MIKE ADAMS

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-10-13-food-inflation-hits-40-as-cpi-explodes-inflation.html;

(Natural News) Food inflation is exploding as much as 40% year over year (for fresh and dried vegetables) while today’s CPI number is deemed a catastrophe for the Biden administration and its disastrous economic failures. On Wednesday, the PPI (Producer Price Index) rose 0.4% for the month, twice the expected amount, and today’s CPI print reveals a shocking 8.2% year-over-year inflation rate, the highest in 40 years.

The highest price increases are being seen in food, airfare, natural gas, health insurance, and public transportation. Butter is up 32.2% and eggs are up 30.5%. A Breitbart news story reveals more shocking numbers: (note the nearly 16% increase in vegetable prices in just one month…)

– Fresh and dried vegetables: up 15.7 percent for the month and 40.2 percent for the year.
– Grains: up 10.7 percent for the month and 30.4 percent for the year.
– Fresh eggs: up 16.7 percent for the month and 97.3 percent for the year.
– Bakery products: up 0.8 percent for the month and 14.0 percent for the year.
– Pasta: up 1.1 percent for the month and 34.1 percent for the year.

This is, of course, exactly what happens when a tyrannical, economically illiterate government wages war on food, farmers, and fertilizer while engaging in insane levels of money printing that accelerate the collapse of the value of the dollar.

Understand that “inflation” isn’t even the right word for this. It should rightly be called central bank theft from the people because that’s largely where this phenomenon comes from. Except, in this case, there are also fundamental food shortages at play which have been engineered into the system to cause scarcity and famine.

Brighteon.TV

So we really have a combination of a central bank financial cartel looting everybody’s currency and a criminal, illegitimate government that’s actively destroying the energy infrastructure that’s necessary for fertilizer and farming.

The end result is, of course, entirely predictable: Widespread starvation and an eventual mass uprising across America as people can no longer afford to eat.

Perhaps that’s why White House Director of National Council Brian Deese just said that things are, “moving in the right direction.” Seriously, this is what he just said:

Government, MSM gaslighting Americans about food industry sabotage and mysterious fires

(Natural News) News reports and eyewitness testimonies about the fires destroying food manufacturing plants in the countries are strong evidence that there’s something sinister going on. However, the government and mainstream media (MSM) are simply ignoring these.

Dr. Jane Ruby could not help but wonder, asking this on Sept. 26: “Are they trying to replicate the fear and panic to a larger degree than what happened in 2020? When people panicked and cleaned out grocery stores for simple items like toilet paper, but didn’t even understand why they were doing it? Well, maybe, but on a much bigger scale.”

Ruby touched on the shortages of food, fuel, and fertilizer – which lines up with the elites’ plans for global starvation. However, she also mentioned the role of the MSM in shaping the public’s opinion in all of this.

“Maybe if it’s contrived, it’s real, but it’s being forced,” Ruby commented about the “spontaneous” combustion and conflagration happening at hundreds of food manufacturing plants. She added that by the summer of 2022, the list of fires and other incidents related to the food shortages had grown to include meatpacking plants in Georgia, Illinois, and other states. (Related: Pattern of fires striking food facilities across the USA suggests ARSON TEAMS are burning down America’s food production infrastructure.)

These incidents went on and on, but no investigations were made because no lives were lost – except for things that affected hundreds of food manufacturing plants that could impact a country’s ability to distribute food to its citizens.

Such incidents have been chalked up as “conspiracy theories,” but Ruby pointed out that the MSM is incredibly dangerous. Together with the government, it has assured people that the food supply remains uninterrupted. However, many have observed the fires that consumed many food production facilities – something too much to ignore.

MSM gaslighting citizens to create a fake narrative

Ruby accused the MSM of “doing the opposite of what it’s supposed to be doing,” which is to keep authorities honest or make them as transparent as possible. Instead, the MSM has become an active conspirator and led people to believe the opposite of what is actually happening.

“It’s pretty unbelievable. When you look at it, even the reporters that are on these sets talking about it barely show any curiosity. Why aren’t we getting an investigation? They just kind of report like a robot,” she said.

Fortune, for instance, reported in June that “scary headlines” about food shortages are misleading – saying there is enough to feed everyone despite evidence saying otherwise.

Anybody who has been in grocery stores lately would have noticed that there were months that went by when certain products were unavailable because distributors stopped producing or manufacturing them. Today, Americans are seeing red herrings as the U.S. come on the heels of another election, and lies and misinformation are being spread.

“The point is to take a step back. What am I looking at? What are they saying? What is their proof? What do they want us [ordinary citizens] to do? Does that make sense?” Ruby pointed out.

With the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, inflation, and a $30 trillion debt that is still rising, the United States in 2022 looks a lot like the recession of 2008. Americans watched their retirement savings disappear, and those who had their 401K could be at risk again. Yet, the government is keeping this information – and more – away from the people.

Hurricane Ian takes out FERTILIZER production for North America, power grid DOWN, widespread supply chain damage

BY MIKE ADAMS

SEE: https://naturalnews.com/2022-09-29-hurricane-ian-takes-out-fertilizer-production-for-north-america.html;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

(Natural News) The devastation of Hurricane Ian has implications far beyond Florida itself. One of the largest fertilizer companies in the world, Mosaic, is located right in the devastation path of Ian, which lingered for over 12 hours in Central Florida, dropping actual feet of rain in some areas, causing widespread flooding and infrastructure damage. That, combined with the sustained hurricane-force winds, ripped some communities to shreds and left almost no structure standing in certain areas.

The Mosaic company in Central Florida provides 50% of the granulated phosphate fertilizer used by North American farmers, according to its online data sheet (PDF). The company also provides 12% of the global supply for granulated phosphate fertilizer. This means Hurricane Ian just made the global fertilizer shortage far worse than what it was already, even after the fertilizer shortages caused by natural gas shutdowns in Europe (and the recent sabotage explosion of the Nord Stream pipelines).

The upshot of all this? Expect even more food scarcity and price inflation in 2023 and beyond, with high prices and crop scarcity to persist for many years to come.

We hope that Mosaic — which employs 3,000 full-time workers and 3,000 additional contractors — can get back on its feet as soon as possible and resume deliveries of phosphate fertilizer.

Florida’s power grid and cell towers remain down, and many will stay down for weeks to come

Also today, I interviewed “Steve” of Strategic Response Partners, a private company that’s hired by hospitals, hotels, retirement centers, and hotels to help handle emergencies and disasters like hurricanes and more. The website of his company is SRP24.com if you want to see what they do. The full interview will be posted Friday late morning, but he told me that many people sustained serious bodily injuries from flying shrapnel propelled by extremely high winds. Other people fell on slippery tiles and suffered broken bones or fractures. Some people got injured in the evacuations, and the number of dead that will ultimately be found will likely shock most people.

Steve told me that the US Coast Guard is right now stockpiling body bags far beyond the numbers being shown on the news. He implied that first responders are anticipating large numbers of dead from the flooding and the injuries. He described “proof of life” teams that are searching homes, retirement community buildings, and other structures for evidence of whether individuals are dead or alive (so that family members, employers, etc., can be notified either way).

I also spoke with Tina from the Satellite Phone Store (SAT123.c0m) — a Brighteon sponsor — whose offices are located in Sarasota, Florida. They’ve been handing out satellite phones and Bivy sticks (two-way satellite messaging devices) to first responders and law enforcement up and down Florida’s West Coast and central counties. With the power grid down and cell towers not working for a large portion of the state, satellite devices are the only means of reliable comms.

They still have Bivy sticks available for purchase, by the way, which allow for satellite-based two-way text messaging communications. They have 1,000 satellite phones inbound by the end of October and are taking pre-orders for those phones, which will sell out immediately (sat phones haven’t been available all year due to the Ukraine war).

See my recent interview with a Texas border operator who uses Bivy sticks to communicate with interdiction teams that are helping to halt the flow of illegal weapons, drugs, and human subjects across the open border:

The global supply chain collapse will make rebuilding extremely challenging

Some areas of Florida look like an “atomic bomb” got dropped, Tina told me in an interview today. Total devastation, with barely anything left standing. Storm surges exceeded 20 feet of height in some areas, and high winds turned signage, roofs, and other structures into projectile missiles (shrapnel) that shredded everything in sight.

The rebuilding of Florida, however, will be an extremely difficult endeavor given the fragile state of the supply chain for construction materials, including electrical supplies, plumbing parts, roofing material, lumber, tools, generators, and more. Almost regardless of how much money is thrown at this situation, the lack of availability for these supplies (and the lack of labor) means that Florida will require not just months but years to return to pre-Ian status. Insurance companies are likely to squabble over payouts, too, resulting in extremely frustrating delays in the reimbursement for damage, causing some people to decide to move and rebuild in another state altogether.

The good news is that Floridians are resilient, determined people, and they are led by an extraordinary Governor (DeSantis) who is showing tremendous leadership in deploying state resources to help save lives and get people back on their feet. Florida isn’t a blue state run by clueless Democrats who have no idea how supply chains work. It’s a red state led by a governor who is likely going to see his own approval ratings skyrocket as he demonstrates the kind of post-storm leadership that makes him look more and more presidential.

But it’s the people of Florida who really deserve the credit for being so resilient and capable, even as they suffered tremendous destruction due to a disaster.

There’s a much bigger storm coming… prepare accordingly

Hurricane Ian should be a reminder to us all that devastating events can strike at any moment with little warning, and they can escalate far beyond our expectations in terms of damage, disruptions, and deaths. While those in Florida deserve our prayers and assistance, the rest of us should look upon this as a reminder that the time for all of us to get prepared is NOW.

Food scarcity is now a certainty for 2023 and years beyond.

Fuel prices are on the rise, and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is nearly drained (gee, thanks Biden).

The world’s fertilizer supply is on the brink of collapse, and agricultural production has plummeted globally.

Geoengineering (weather weapons) has unleashed droughts, floods, and possibly even hurricanes, devastating the food supply and thrusting the western half of the United States into a severe water shortage.

And then someone blew up the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, just to punish We the People a little bit more (or technically, the people of Europe).

A financial storm is already underway as the Ponzi stock market unravels and the fake fiat currency systems of the world teeter on the verge of collapse.

Finally, the insane, deranged leaders of the illegitimate Biden regime are trying to push the world into nuclear Armageddon just so they don’t have to go through with the mid-term elections and lose control of the US House of Representatives (and possibly even the Senate).

Hurricane Ian was devastating, and yet it was only a small taste of bigger storms yet to come.

Prepare accordingly.

‘Fundamentally Transforming’ America Into a Communist Hellhole

You first have to tear the country down completely.

BY D.W. WILBER

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fundamentally-transforming-america-into-a-communist-hellhole/;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

Let’s cut to the chase. In order to “fundamentally transform” America from a vibrant and free capitalist society into just another communist hellhole, you first have to tear it down completely, following the Marxist mantra of “the ends justify the means.”

In order to achieve that, it would include uncontrolled spending to create massive debt that the country simply cannot sustain, thereby crashing the economy. People see their savings and bank accounts dwindle to nothing as a result of ever-increasing inflation. Eventually finding themselves dependent on government handouts for their very survival.

In addition, open the borders and flood the country with illegal immigration, overwhelming the social welfare system that is put in place to provide help and support to Americans. Instead pass those resources onto those who illegally entered the country, justifying it all as a humanitarian gesture.

Create a ‘climate emergency’ and turn it into a clarion call for groups of people who are easily manipulated. Make energy independence a thing of the past, and Americans become more susceptible to the whims of other countries in providing the energy necessary to drive our country’s economy and allow people to go to work, and stay warm in the winter. Rolling power outages become the norm as electric services are purposefully disrupted, and people look to the government to solve the problems.

Normalize and ‘mainstream’ deviant behaviors and attack anyone or any group that supports traditional morality and traditional gender roles. Expose children and youths to the same deviancy, and take the teaching of morality out of the hands of parents. Also, attack traditional religion, and infiltrate and change organized religions from within by corrupting traditional doctrine into something accepting, even applauding what was once considered sin.

Then you undermine civil authorities. Neuter and demoralize the police so that crime runs rampant on America’s streets. People become fearful in their own homes and venture out only as a last resort. Once crime is out of control people become more willing to accept a strong government crackdown, including the loss of what were once considered sacrosanct Constitutional rights.

Also focus efforts on disarming the population so that they have no means of protecting themselves, or resisting government oppression. An unarmed society is much easier to control than a society where people can defend themselves against crime, and government overreach.

Make endless accusations against and demonize your political enemies, and cover up your own questionable and illegal activities. Accuse your opposition of racism and every kind of ‘phobia’ you can think of, with the help of a compliant news media that is under your complete control.

Weaken the military with arbitrary and meaningless social justice experiments, and spend less time training in actual warfighting capabilities. A demoralized military will experience retention problems of their most qualified and best leaders.

What’s going on is a multi-step process and has been well underway for decades now, but it kicked into high gear with the election of a barely concealed Marxist in 2008. The current administration is nothing more than a front, a convenient collection of useful idiots and Marxist allies for the one elected back in 2008.

So how do we stop it? Well, to use the left’s own words against them, we stop it “by any means necessary”. First off never ever give up your guns. The Second Amendment is the one thing that keeps the communist wolves at bat. Secondly, take back our education system. Time to stop the communist indoctrination of our children. Run for school boards so that you have a say in what textbooks your children learn from, and who teaches your children.  Thirdly, insist on fairness, and unbiased news media. If they refuse, hit them in the pocketbook by letting their advertisers know how you feel, and where you’ll be spending your money.

And finally, protect the integrity of the vote. ‘Election Day’ should be the only election day.  Too many opportunities for fraud to occur. Absentee ballots for people out of the country should be the only ‘mail-in voting’. Proper, government-issued identification only for verified American citizens should be acceptable proof that one is qualified to vote in any election. Registration to vote should be restricted to no less than one month prior to the date of the election.  No more drive up, register, and vote the same day.

Voting is a right for American citizens, but it also comes with responsibility. If exercising their vote is important enough to people, then people will follow whatever rules are put in place to protect the integrity of their vote.

We need to be prepared to do whatever is necessary to fight back and prevent the “fundamental transformation” of our country, America as a free nation is at risk. If that means raising the stakes on them first then so be it.  If we don’t, they’re going to do it to us.

We outnumber them by a large margin. We need to get better organized, and more committed. We can prevent the greatest nation on Earth from becoming just another communist hellhole.

 

USDA air dropping vaccines from helicopters across 13 states, using vaccine “bait” deemed HAZARDOUS if ingested~The USDA Is Practicing Crony Capitalism by the Billions~Plum Island resurfaces: Secret research programs run by the USDA, DoD, and DHS are engineering agricultural bioweapons to starve nations into collapse

(Natural News) The USDA, like many federal agencies, is deeply invested in the business of extermination. For example, most people don’t realize that the USDA mass murders millions of birds every year through deliberate poisoning campaigns. Natural News has published the USDA’s list of bird extermination from 2009 (PDF), showing how the agency murdered over four million birds in 2009 alone.

That program is called “Bye Bye Blackbird,” and it’s just one of many mass extermination programs run by the USDA. Another program involves the USDA mass murdering foxes, coyotes, bears, mountain lions, bobcats, and river otters. As Natural News reported in 2018:

According to the latest report, the federal program last year killed 357 gray wolves; 69,041 adult coyotes, plus an unknown number of coyote pups in 393 destroyed dens; 624,845 red-winged blackbirds; 552 black bears; 319 mountain lions; 1,001 bobcats; 675 river otters, including 587 killed “unintentionally”; 3,827 foxes, plus an unknown number of fox pups in 128 dens; and 23,646 beavers.

Also in 2018, the USDA was caught murdering hundreds of kittens in incineration ovens as part of a medical experimentation operation. As NaturalNews reported in 2018:

…[T]he USDA has been experimenting on kittens by feeding them parasite-riddled raw meat for two or three weeks so their feces can be collected. Then they are killed via incineration. And at the end of the “study,” Bishops says, the USDA admitted that the baby animals were healthy.

Congressman Mike Bishop sounded off on the USDA’s kitten murder practice, saying:

I’m shocked and disturbed that for decades the USDA — the very organization charged with enforcing animal welfare laws — has been unnecessarily killing hundreds of kittens in expensive and inefficient lab experiments. Any government research program like this one that’s been funded since the Nixon administration needs to be put under the microscope, especially when it involves using kittens as disposable test tubes in harmful tests that most taxpayers oppose.

The USDA, in other words, slaughters millions of animals a year and runs cruel medical experiments on kittens (among other animals). This is the same USDA that conspires with pesticide manufacturers to poison the human food supply with synthetic chemicals, including herbicides like atrazine which are known “chemical castrators” that alter human hormone expression.

Now, this same agency is air-dropping edible “vaccines” across 13 states, claiming to be controlling raccoons and rabies. But the bait is so dangerous, it’s never supposed to be ingested (keep reading).

USDA uses a fleet of helicopters to mass poison the landscape with “rabies vaccines” disguised as food

According to the Associated Press via DailyPress.com, the USDA is now air-dropping “millions of packets of oral rabies vaccines” across 13 US states. Those states include:

  • Alabama
  • Maine
  • Pennsylvania
  • West Virginia
  • Virginia
  • Tennessee

The USDA claims these “rabies vaccines” are embedded in food bits that are currently flavored with fishmeal. This will, of course, encourage all sorts of wildlife to eat the vaccine traps, causing unknown consequences in wildlife animals that will obviously ingest the tainted treats. Domestic dogs and cats can also stumble upon the tainted food bits and ingest them, causing involuntary “vaccination” against rabies, which can kill pets. (Although rare, death is one of the side effects of rabies vaccination.)

Note carefully that the USDA is in the business of exterminating animals, so when they drop “bait” from helicopters, laced with potentially harmful or even deadly rabies vaccine ingredients, it’s not difficult to realize the real motivation of this program.

This isn’t the first time the US government has unleashed biological warfare specimens into the wild, either. Although “fact checkers” vehemently deny this accusation, many people believe the US government engineered and released Lyme Disease as a biological weapon. More recently, it is now exhaustively documented that the US Army helped engineer SARS-CoV-2 and then handed the bioweapon to China’s Wuhan labs for final gain-of-function enhancement. (Even mainstream medical journals such as The Lancet now admit the lab origins of covid are a likely explanation.) This turned out to be a global depopulation and infertility weapon which has unleashed unprecedented havoc across the world, enticing people to be injected with yet another biological weapon: The mRNA covid “vaccine” that’s killing human beings by the millions all over the world.

What the USDA does with blackbirds is the same thing the vaccine industry is doing to humans: It always seems to be about extermination and depopulation.

The vaccine bait being dropped across 13 states, it turns out, isn’t even safe to ingest.

Oral vaccine deemed “hazardous to health” if ingested, poses threat to humans and pets if touched

The USDA’s APHIS department (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) runs the oral rabies vaccine program, and it doesn’t even bother to claim these vaccines are safe. (See its Oral Rabies Vaccine and Bait Information page here.)

The Safety Data Sheet for the vaccine, manufactured by Merial, tells a larger story. Although these vaccine baits/traps are intended by the USDA to be orally consumed by animals, the Safety Data Sheet warns:

Potentially hazardous to health if any of the following should occur: Ingestion, parenteral inoculation, droplet or aerosol exposure of mucous membranes or if broken skin is exposed to infectious fluids or tissues.

In other words, the vaccine is “hazardous to health” if ingested. Yet ingestion is exactly what the USDA is achieving by coating this vaccine with fishmeal and dropping it across 13 states to be consumed by every kind of wild animal imaginable. The entire purpose of this delivery mechanism is to have the hazardous vaccines ingested.

That same warning sheet also says, “Localized skin lesions are possible” if exposed to this vaccine.

And even though these vaccine bait morsels are apparently tossed out of vehicles onto public roads, according to the USDA itself, the substances they contain are toxic to people. According to DailyPress.com, the USDA tosses these toxic vaccine bait products out of vehicles in America’s cities:

[They are] being dropped from planes in rural areas and from vehicles in urban and suburban areas.

People drive around the cities and toss these from vehicles, in other words. What could possibly go wrong?

These oral vaccines are not safe for people or animals, “All people should avoid contact”

The Safety Data Sheet explains more about the risks of coming into contact with these food bait vaccines:

– All people should avoid contact, but young children, pregnant women, individuals with immune deficiencies, or those on steroids should avoid contact with this vaccine.

Merely touching the vaccine food bait can also be risky, as the Safety Data Sheet warns, “Danger through skin absorption.”

In addition, even though the USDA is dropping these vaccine baits from helicopters, where many of them will wash into local waterways, the Safety Data Sheet specifically warns about how hazardous this product is to groundwater:

Do not allow undiluted products or large quantities of them to reach groundwater, watercourse, or sewage system.

Anyone who finds these vaccine food bait chunks on the ground is advised to dispose of them as follows: “Incinerate in EPA licensed Bio/Medical waste facility.”

Yet, they are flung far and wide from aircraft, helicopters, and vehicles, indiscriminately contaminating wildlife areas in 13 US states, no doubt causing widespread illness, suffering, and pollution among wildlife and natural ecosystems.

That’s the USDA in a nutshell: Poison, murder and kill wildlife by the millions, then claim to be “vaccinating” the world by distributing yet more poison across America’s cities. It sounds like the USDA, much like the FDA, functions as just another “captured agency” in the pocket of Big Pharma / Big Chemical, caring nothing about the health or safety of both animals and human beings.

For your own safety, if you happen to see bait-shaped chunks of food falling out of the sky, you might want to keep your distance. Or wear latex gloves to pick up the sample, place it in a sealed plastic bag, and don’t flush it into the sewage system. See if you can find an EPA-licensed biomedical waste facility for incineration, since that’s what you’re supposed to do with this, apparently.

It’s just another day of the government working to poison the world and kill more people and animals. What else is new?

The USDA Is Practicing Crony Capitalism by the Billions

BY CHRIS QUEEN

SEE: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/chris-queen/2022/09/21/the-usda-is-practicing-crony-capitalism-by-the-billions-n1631079;

Last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released its first list of grant recipients for the Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program. In typical big government fashion, this first round of 70 recipients — to the tune of a total of $2.8 billion — is the largest group of winners of largesse, with projects asking for $5 million to $100 million.

The federal government will announce the list of smaller grant winners from a pool of 450 applicants asking for $18 billion in taxpayer money. The USDA criteria for doling out funds to larger projects included the mitigation of greenhouse gases, but for the smaller projects, the program adds greater scrutiny for “Equity/Environmental Justice (EJ)/Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) Reach.” Of course.

White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Ga., applied for a grant in conjunction with its own Center for Agricultural Resilience, but the USDA didn’t select White Oak to receive funds.

You might remember White Oak Pastures from when its owner, Will Harris, took on Bill Gates for the billionaire’s purchase of massive amounts of farmland. The ever-opinionated Harris explains his “sour grapes” with the USDA on the farm’s blog.

“As some of y’all know, we have been grazing our sheep underneath large utility-sized solar arrays for over two years,” Harris writes. “We see it as a win-win for farmers, energy companies, and the planet. We also see it as a way for underserved farmers to gain access to land without having to come up with a huge cash outlay.”

“We wanted to expand this practice and then offer classes to others to teach them to do it,” he continues. “I thought that it would be considered to be a great project.”

Related: American Farmer Puts Bill Gates on Notice

Alas, the grant wasn’t in the cards, but Harris pointed out some of the recipients of grants, and these names may raise your blood pressure. Among the Lead Partners and Major Partners who received federal money are the following corporations:

  • Pepsico
  • Cargill
  • JBS
  • Coca-Cola
  • John Deere
  • Microsoft
  • Butcher Box
  • Nestle-Purina
  • Walmart
  • Anheuser-Busch
  • Smithfield Foods
  • Blue Apron
  • ADM
  • Nutrein Ag Solutions
  • Target
  • Bayer
  • McDonalds
  • Mars
  • Unilever
  • Google
  • Campbell’s Soup

To be fair, there are individual farms, smaller businesses, and educational institutions that received grant money, but these corporations and other large companies have their hands in these projects.

Why do these massive, multi-national corporations need federal money for these projects? And why are the same leftists who complain about big companies making too much profit so eager to throw big government money at these same corporations? It must be because they’re producing projects that target climate change, aim for minority communities, and promote “equity.” (And as an aside, isn’t it odd how the environmental movement has sold out to the racial-grievance hucksters these days?)

Never one to hold back, Harris says exactly what we’re all thinking.

“Who on earth would be better qualified to develop environmental solutions than the multinational companies who were complicit in f-cking our climate up[?]” he concludes.

He has a point: we shouldn’t trust these corporations to do anything good for the environment. Nor should we trust the government to dole out money in a way that might actually be more equitable than trying to score political points.

The USDA is picking winners and losers — both in who benefits from the federal largesse and who ultimately could benefit from these projects. And for so much taxpayer money to go toward large companies rather than to the farms that are doing the work at the ground level is a shame. Because helping independent farmers might genuinely achieve “equity” and benefit the environment more than throwing billions of dollars at corporations.

Plum Island resurfaces: Secret research programs run by the USDA, DoD, and DHS are engineering agricultural bioweapons to starve nations into collapse 

BY MIKE ADAMS

SEE: https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-09-21-plum-island-agricultural-bioweapons-usda-and-dod-secret-research.html;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

(Natural News) The US Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) has been actively involved in engineering biological weapons for decades. Long before Fauci and the NIH were funding gain-of-function bioweapons development with the People’s Liberation Army in Wuhan, China, the USDA ran a bioweapons facility on Plum Island that was tasked with researching agricultural weapons that could be used to attack and destroy the food supply of enemy nations. (Both Cuba and the former Soviet Union were considered likely targets.)

In a bombshell story published by Xinhua news agency in 2021, author, researcher, and journalism professor Karl Grossman alleges that Lyme Disease was one of the many bioweapons produced in this US government-funded laboratory originally staffed by Nazi scientists who were brought to the USA under Operation Paperclip, a program that saw the US government recruit former Nazi scientists to work in fields like rocketry (NASA), medicine and computing. From that story:

The “godfather” of the Plum Island laboratory was a Nazi bioweapon expert, Erich Traub, who was brought to the United States after the Second World War.

“During WWII, Traub ran a Nazi secret biological warfare laboratory in the Baltic on an island called Riems, with a mission to poison cattle in the Soviet Union. Also, Traub had some familiarity with the New York area before WWII. He was also involved in Nazi activities on the Long Island,” Grossman noted.

“There was a military base on the island at that time for over 50 years, which was called Fort Terry. Thus this notion was to make this laboratory to do biological warfare,” he said, noting the lab was later taken over by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

This bioweapons laboratory facility, launched by Nazi scientists and later handed over to the USDA, was involved in agricultural bioweapons that could be used to attack the Soviet Union and other nations:

“In 1993, an investigative reporter for Newsday, John McDonald, was able to obtain documents including a document which was reprinted on the front page of Newsday,” he said.

“This document said the mission of Plum Island would in fact develop biological warfare weaponry that would be used to poison cattle and other livestock in the former Soviet Union,” he added.

Grossman goes on to reveal that a USDA tour guide admitted to him that the Plum Island facility was, indeed, involved in biological warfare research but the agency claimed it was “defensive” research. That’s the same excuse currently used by Fauci and the NIH when it comes to funding SARS-CoV-2 gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

A 2005 GAO report confirms collusion between DHS and USDA on pathogens that can be transformed into agricultural bioweapons

In his interview, Grossman cites a 2005 GAO report that he explains makes reference to pathogens that can be turned into agricultural bioweapons. We have confirmed the existence of this report on the GAO.gov website (remarkably, it hasn’t been scrubbed yet).

The report is entitled, “Plum Island Animal Disease Center: DHS and USDA Are Successfully Coordinating Current Work, but Long-Term Plans Are Being Assessed.”

The document is indexed as “GAO-06-132” and can be found at this link:

https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-06-132

The full text of this research document, available at this link on the GAO’s servers, confirms all the following:

  • The USDA ran the Plum Island bioweapons research facility until June of 2003.
  • At that time, operations were transferred to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), confirming its research had national security implications.
  • Currently, the USDA and DHS collaborate on bioweapons research at the facility, under the cover story of studying “foreign animal diseases.”
  • The DHS funds all the operations there. From the GAO report: “DHS is now responsible for all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining Plum Island.”
  • DHS was working in the early 2000s to expand the facility to handle “higher biosecurity” threats. Specifically, they sought to expand the Plum Island facility to, “enable the study of other highly contagious viruses in large animals, such as Nipah virus, which affects swine and can also be fatal to humans.”
    • Rift Valley fever was also being researched at the Plum Island facility. From the report: “Research conducted outside of Plum Island on Nipah virus and Rift Valley fever is very limited.”
    • The USDA, DHS, and GAO were all aware that Nipah virus and Rift Valley fever could be deployed against human populations and modern economies to achieve significant economic and food supply disruptions. From the report: “Nipah virus and Rift Valley fever… which affect both humans and livestock, as warranting greater attention because an outbreak could result in economic disruption or interfere with trade.”

    Just as Fauci used the NIAID and “defensive research” as a cover story for the gain-of-function development of a covid bioweapon that was unleashed upon America (followed by the vaccine bioweapon which is a far more aggressive infertility and depopulation attack), we believe the USDA used the “foreign animal diseases” storyline as a cover for its pursuit of deadly agricultural biological weapons that could be used to devastate a nation’s food supply. In the case of Lyme Disease, such a weapon could even attack humans and inject them with toxic pathogens. 

The USDA now appears to be unleashing biological weapons on America

As you ponder this true history about the USDA, remember that the same agency is right now using a fleet of helicopters to carpet bomb 13 US states with toxic “rabies vaccine” food bait. It’s made with a vaccine that’s listed as “hazardous to health” if “ingested,” indicating that this is actually a USDA-promoted bioweapon being deployed against the United States rather than the old Soviet Union.

More likely, the USDA is spreading rabies-like bioweapons across the United States right now, using a fleet of helicopters and vehicles to toss these “vaccines” onto roadways, including those in urban areas (which makes no sense since there’s virtually no wildlife in urban areas).

In our coverage from yesterday, we documented how these so-called “oral rabies vaccines” is listed as “Potentially hazardous to health if ingested.” You can see it listed right on the sheet at this link from the manufacturer’s website.

That same sheet says quite plainly, “All people should avoid contact” with this so-called rabies vaccine, yet it is being indiscriminately thrown onto roadways and wildlife areas across 13 US states. This DailyPress.com article confirms that these toxic bait packets are being tossed from vehicles in urban areas, meaning the USDA is quite literally hiring people to drive around America’s cities and dump toxic rabies poison on America’s streets. This sounds like something they might have once done to the Soviet Union as a bioweapons attack, but now they’re doing it in America.

Yet we are supposed to believe that the USDA cares so much about raccoons that they would hire fleets of helicopters and vehicles just to keep those raccoons safe from a pathogen. 

This is the same agency that approves of genetically modified crops and deadly chemical pesticides and herbicides that now saturate the US food supply. Based on its history and actions, the USDA should be called the “United States Death Agency.”

Thanks to COVID fraud and deception, the institutions of “science” and infectious disease have proven they cannot be trusted

The huge takeaway from all this is that the covid plandemic has exhaustively demonstrated how so-called science-based institutions can never be trusted to tell the truth about the real motivations behind their infectious disease research. Any time they claim to be doing “defensive” research into biological weapons or deadly pathogens, they’re actually conducting offensive research in conjunction with the DoD or DHS.

Hence the entire existence of Pentagon-funded bioweapons facilities in Ukraine. And Africa, too.

Remember, every time Fauci told us he wasn’t approving funding for gain-of-function research about covid, he was lying. When the USDA says they are researching defensive solutions for biological threats to livestock, they are lying, too.

The USDA is the same agency that incinerated kittens in ovens after conducting cruel research on them. We covered that story in 2018, and the USDA never denied carrying out these activities. Do you trust the ethics and morality of a government agency that incinerates kittens in ovens?

The USDA, much like the NIH, NIAID, CDC, and FDA, is in the business of harming humanity by developing and deploying biological weapons through multiple vectors, including food, wildlife, genetic engineering, and vaccines. No federal agency combines so many horrors under one roof, nor does any other agency so perfectly align with the Luciferian agendas of mass suffering and death. See USDAwatch.com for more news coverage of the USDA’s mass poisoning of America.

Giant homeless encampments set to explode across US; Organized Retail Criminals (ORCs) unleash coordinated mass thefts and violence

(Natural News) Worsening inflation (stemming from endless fiat currency money printing) is causing food, energy, and housing to become unaffordable for millions of Americans, putting them on a trajectory of homelessness and destitution.

Right now, homeless encampments are expanding in cities like Los Angeles, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Oakland. The situation is bound to get far worse as inflation accelerates and people find themselves jobless due to plummeting economic activity while manufacturers downsize operations.

All across America right now, people are moving out of (unaffordable) apartments and rental homes, and moving into RVs or campers. Many of these people have jobs yet still can’t afford to save enough money for a down payment on a home. As economic conditions deteriorate, many of these people will move from RVs to cars or trucks… and then eventually to tents on the street. There, they are largely forgotten by the very same bureaucrats who promised them jobs and government assistance. Those are also the same bureaucrats who created the very problems that cause homelessness in the first place, such as worsening inflation by handing out stimulus money… or forcing small businesses to shut down over “covid” claims.

The controlled demolition of America is well underway.

While most homeless people are non-violent individuals who are merely trying to survive in a collapsing civilization, problems such as drug addiction, mental illness, public health violations, and violence continue to plague homeless encampments. These tent cities are almost always filthy, rodent-ridden, feces-festering shantytown fixtures that reek of trash and desperation. As they grow in size and numbers, they are going to pose a significant challenge to the operations of entire cities, especially given that these encampments have their own rules, leadership, and underground economies. They do not abide by mainstream society’s rules, and except in rare cases, local police and city council members pretend these homeless encampments don’t exist. They are, in effect, “no-go zones” for police and first responders, except on the rare occasions when city leaders decide to “clean out” all the tents and trash, thrusting the homeless individuals who lived there into even more desperate circumstances.

With the US economy collapsing, homelessness is going to become a way of life for millions more Americans. In order to survive, many of these individuals turn to retail theft, shoplifting all sorts of goods (including food) from local retail establishments.

The Epoch Times reports on, “The growing threat of organized retail crime,” citing so-called “ORC rings” (Organized Retail Crime = ORC) that are growing more numerous and powerful in cities across America:

The massive wave of retail thefts in the United States over the past two years has become a major challenge for both the retail industry and law enforcement.

The number of increasingly professional organized retail crime (ORC) rings and their frequent attacks have reached a crisis scale, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF) in a Sept. 14 report.

That article cites NRF vice president Mark Meadows, explaining, “These highly sophisticated criminal rings jeopardize employee and customer safety and disrupt store operations. Retailers are bolstering security efforts to counteract these increasingly dangerous and aggressive criminal activities.”

Epoch Times adds:

Items under CRAVED include apparel, health and beauty, electronics/appliances, accessories, food and beverage, footwear, home furnishings, housewares, home improvement, eyewear, office supplies, infant care, and toys.

“We are seeing more and more, particularly, organized retail crime,” said Corrie Barry, Best Buy’s CEO, in late 2021 to the NY Post.

“You can see that pressure in our financials. And more importantly, frankly, you can see that pressure with our associates. It’s traumatizing,” she said. 

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce demanded earlier this year that Congress take action to address the rise of ORC crimes, calling them a “national emergency.”

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva blamed radical Democrats and prosecutors, saying that they “live in this ‘woke palace’ where they’re not affected by the policies, but the average person IS impacted by them.”

In other words, America is beginning to see the rise of organized retail theft rings that are increasingly terrorizing brick-and-mortar stores, traumatizing their employees, and looting their merchandise.

It doesn’t take a genius to realize most of these retail stores are going to cease operations in these areas, leaving locals with a barren landscape of abandoned retail buildings.

Democrats in Illinois have legalized squatting and trespassing… police will no longer remove anyone from your private property

The bureaucratic geniuses in Illinois — who favor criminals and punish the law-abiding — recently passed and signed into law the “SAFE-T Act” which would eliminate bail for second-degree murder, arson, kidnapping, violent assaults, and many other series crimes. In essence, the act allows police to arrest a murderer, hand him a ticket to appear in court next year, then release him right back onto the streets to murder again.

State Senator Donald DeWitte is desperately trying to repeal this dangerous, lawless act that was pushed by Democrats. From Senator DeWitte’s website:

“I can’t walk down the street without being stopped by someone who asks how the SAFE-T Act can be stopped,” said Sen. DeWitte. “Constituents are particularly worried about criminal offenses that will, as of January 1, be considered ‘non-detainable.’ People have legitimate concerns, and we need to pump the breaks on implementation so the long list of unintended consequences tied to the Act can be addressed.”

DeWitte continued, “According to state’s attorneys across the state, the Act will make it extremely difficult for them to hold violent criminals pre-trial, including crimes as serious as murder if the accused person no longer poses a significant threat to a specifically identifiable person. General risk is no longer good enough, and that heightened standard will cause some very dangerous individuals to be released within hours of their arrest.”

Those same state’s attorneys have said offenses like second-degree murder, arson, aggravated battery, kidnapping, burglary, robbery, intimidation, aggravated DUI, aggravating fleeing & eluding drug offenses, threatening a public official, and drug-induced homicide could no longer meet the standard for pre-trial detention.

What many people don’t yet realize is that trespassing is no longer a crime that law enforcement can prevent. They can’t arrest and remove squatters, for example, who decide to move into your shed, garage, RV, or home.

As ABC7 Chicago reports:

Grundy County Sheriff Ken Briley is raising concerns because the law will ban arrest for people accused of certain misdemeanors. He cited trespassing as an example.

“Today, I can arrest him if you sign a complaint for trespassing,” Briley said. “January 1st, I’m not going to be able to do that. The law says I have to write him a ticket and leave.”

In other words, the homeless masses will soon be able to move into any home they choose, and police will not remove them, even if they are trespassing.

This means private property owners in Illinois have no legal means by which to remove individuals — including drug addicts, prostitutes and violent criminals — who invade their property. If you leave your home for a weekend and a homeless person breaks in and takes over your home, you have no legal means to remove them.

This means you are on your own, and you have to decide how to handle potentially large groups of people who are now living in your garage or home. If the police do nothing, do you have the right to be your own police? What level of force can a private citizen exert in order to convince a trespasser to leave?

In Democrat-run cities and counties, it’s obvious that private property owners who threaten trespassers using guns or knives will, themselves, be arrested and prosecuted by radical left-wing District Attorneys. In other words, if you find squatters in your home, crapping on the carpet and spraying graffiti on the walls, and you call the police to remove them, the police will tell you there’s nothing they can do. If you pull a gun and try to force the squatters to leave, the police will arrest you, and while you’re in jail, those squatters will rip your home to shreds and probably set it on fire.

This is Illinois under Democrat control, and it’s a feature of civilization collapse that’s coming to every “blue” city and county across America, where criminals are protected and the law-abiding are punished. A similar situation already exists in Oregon, for example, where some property owners are quite literally listing homes for sale that already have squatters who refuse to leave. These property listings, as you might imagine, are heavily discounted, and buyers are not allowed to tour the homes or see inside them before making offers. That’s because somebody probably already crapped on the carpet and set the wallpaper on fire.

If you currently own property in the state of Illinois, your property value is about to get crushed

A sensible question arises from all this: What is the value of private property in a state where the security of such property cannot be enforced? The answer is zero.

No home is worth anything if a flash mob of homeless looters can rampage through your home at any time, with the full approval of the state’s left-leaning lawmakers, while police are unwilling to do anything to stop it (because they are bound by the new law).

If you own real estate in Illinois, sell it before January 1.

If you don’t sell your property and leave Illinois, you are bonkers.

If you live in the state of Illinois, leave before January 1 or get to a rural, conservative community where you have a chance of finding law enforcement, judges, and juries that still recognize common sense and the right to defend your own home against looters and squatters.

Because remember: As homelessness explodes across America, millions of destitute, desperate people will take over private homes and buildings, rendering the very idea of private property null and void. Now it’s the mob’s property, and mob rule is exactly what Democrats are striving for, which is why they deliberately wrote and passed this law to nullify private property and unleash violent criminals onto the streets of Illinois.

Chaos is coming to the blue cities… all by design.

You will witness a wave of American refugees fleeing the collapsing blue cities

Illinois, California, Oregon, Washington, New York, New Jersey, and other democrat-dominates states are about to be plunged into a hellish, Mad Max-like scenario, where police are powerless, criminal gangs run rampant across society, and law-abiding citizens either flee or get raped and murdered. It looks like Democrats are finally getting the society they voted for, and as this accelerates, we are going to see a wave of refugees fleeing the cities and seeking sanity in red states / rural America, where secure borders will be quickly erected to halt the influx of democrats who ruined their own home states and now want to cause the same destruction everywhere else.

Those who stay behind will find themselves fighting zombies and orcs, like something out of a mishmash of Lord of the Rings meets The Walking Dead. The good news is that with collapsing consumer demand, ammunition is about to become a lot more affordable. (It’s true. Firearms and ammo sales are plummeting right now, and you should expect to see ammunition on sale soon.) Once you understand the wave of violence, lawlessness and insanity that’s rapidly approaching, you’ll quickly realize you can never have too much ammo.

Get yourself some ballistic armor while you’re at it: www.HopliteArmor.com gives you 10% off using discount code “ranger.” It’s all made in the USA using advanced polymers and materials. (Hopelite Armor is a Brighteon sponsor.)

If you need swords and knives, my top choice is DawsonKnives.com, which also offers a 10% discount for those using the code “ranger” (good through Sep 30). Given that this whole scenario may go full Book of Eli (a reference to the Denzel Washington movie), acquiring fully functional fighting swords and knives no longer seems like an outlandish idea. Swords, after all, don’t need ammo.

‘Nutrionist’ Tells Us to Eat What We Want, Shun ‘Fatphobia’

L.A. School District Shares Video from ‘Nutritionist’ Who Says Eating Right Is Racist

BY ROBERT SPENCER

Your dreams have come true, kids: French fries and pizza are now good for you, so eat up, or else: if you don’t, you might be suspected of “white supremacism.” If you thought things couldn’t possibly get any crazier, forget it: a “nutritionist” has proclaimed that “nutrition standards are rooted in whiteness,” and so like Robert E. Lee and Bull Connor, they’ve got to go. Nor is the nutritionist in question, Kéra Nyemb-Diop, some nut raving on the street corner; she works for Mondelez International, which is so concerned about nutrition that it produces Oreos and Chips Ahoy! She is so well respected that the Los Angeles Unified School District’s (LAUSD) Office of Human Relations Diversity and Equity (HRDE) just shared her eating-right-is-racism video on its Instagram account. Oh yes, they did.

It comes as no surprise, really, now that women are men and men are drag queens in primary schools, that someone who calls herself a “nutritionist” would tell us something like this and, instead of being laughed out of her profession, would be held up by what is supposed to be an organization of sane and sober educators as someone who actually has something to tell us. The video that the L.A. school district wanted those who are foolish enough to follow it on Instagram to see begins with one woman offering another a plate of doughnuts, and being absolutely baffled when they’re refused. “Are they moldy? I mean, are they poisoned?” The woman who refused a doughnut is speechless, whereupon the fatty snack pusher scolds her: “Hmm. You’re judging my food choices based on a false standard of ‘health,’ again, aren’t you?”

The refusenik says happily, “Guilty!,” but she doesn’t get off that easily. The video then cuts to Kéra Nyemb-Diop herself, identified only as “@Black.Nutritionist,” who declares: “Diet culture, fatphobia and systems of oppression have created false hierarchies of food; it shows up everywhere.” A bit later in the video, a woman appears who is identified as “@SavageXFatty.” A woman named Maya Finoh, whose tweets are protected, has that Twitter account, and here’s her Twitter bio: “cultural worker. a salone pikin from the 919. like claudia jones i’m left of marx. they/them.” In the video, she says: “We are all incorrectly taught from a young age that our size and therefore the foods that we eat are markers of our self-worth. Moralizing food can lead to harmful relationships with food and disordered eating.” See? If you say that people ought to eat right, it’ll just make them eat even worse.

Nyemb-Diop then continues: “Instead of focusing on ‘good’ and ‘bad’ choices, try to approach food with neutrality in mind.” “Neutrality” in this context means that a doughnut is as good as a plate of broccoli, a salad absolutely equivalent to a dish of ice cream. “The only foods that are bad for you,” insists @SavageXFatty, “are foods that contain allergens (intolerances), poisons, and contaminants, or foods that are spoiled or is otherwise inedible.” Nyemb-Diop concludes: “Eat without guilt regardless of what society says.”

Related: You Won’t Believe What Woke Left-Wing Kooks Think Is ‘Racist’ Now

Now, Nyemb-Diop almost certainly knows how false and dangerous this all is, especially when there is already an epidemic of obesity among people of all ages. But she appears to be a committed ideologue. She insists that  “nutrition standards are rooted in whiteness” and that the “health space is FLOODED with whitewashed nutritional standards that not only forget but exclude and demonize the food of those of the GLOBAL MAJORITY.” Racist to the core, as you might expect, Nyemb-Diop railed against the racists who say it’s healthier to maintain good nutrition: “I don’t know who made these white European bodies the standard but… oh that’s right, YT [white] people did! Because there ain’t a diverse culture on the face of this earth trying to look like these mediocre white men.”

Asked why LAUSD would spread Nyemb-Diop’s ridiculous and hateful theories, LAUSD spokesperson Sharon Haber passed the buck and laid the politically correct blather on thick: “To our knowledge, the social media content in question did not originate from any employee at Los Angeles Unified. We support the highest nutritional standards for our students and continue to ensure all social media content promotes a safe, welcoming, and affirming learning environment for all.”

Great, but in this age of Lizzo and morbidly obese Abercrombie & Fitch models, it’s much more likely that someone at LAUSD thought Nyemb-Diop’s message was what parents and students needed to hear. This madness runs very deep.

A Railroad Strike Could Be Imminent if Negotiations Fail~Supply collapse: America just days away from total rail shutdown as nationwide strike looms

BY RYAN LEDENDECKER

If I were you, I’d go out and grab a few packages of toilet paper before Friday.

At the end of August, I wrote about a poll taken by thousands of rail workers that indicated their overwhelming willingness to strike on Sept. 16, which marks the end of a “cooling-off period” set forth by an executive order signed by President Joe Biden aimed at keeping the railroads up and running.

Two weeks ago, my piece on the potential strike was one of few on the internet warning of the potential widespread economic disaster awaiting Americans should the railroads — especially freight lines — shut down for any length of time.

I noted at the time:

To be clear, a railroad worker strike would be an unmitigated disaster for America, and it would probably make the early pandemic supply chain issues, which were certainly bad, look like no big deal.

Finally, roughly 48 hours ahead of a possible strike guaranteed to cripple the U.S. economy, the issue gained the attention it deserves. A quick scroll through social media this morning — and this is purely anecdotal — gave me the gut feeling that a strike is imminent. Workers are clearly ticked-off and claim to have been mistreated for far too long, demanding nothing less than total satisfaction and markedly improved working environments.

Here’s one railroad worker who received a lot of attention over his post, in which he made clear that he believes union rail workers — over 110,000 of them — should strike and send a message.

It would be the first major railroad strike since the 1990s. Railroad strikes have such a profoundly negative impact on the nation that they usually require Congress to intervene quickly with legislation to halt them. In past instances of railroad strikes, Congress has managed to pass legislation and have it signed by the president in less than 48 hours to end railroad strikes.

There’s absolutely no doubt that the Biden administration and congressional leaders, at this very moment, are in a last-minute huddle to prepare a response to a possible strike. But it’s quite the political predicament given that we’re eight weeks out from a major midterm election. Biden and Democratic leaders in Congress could soon be in a position to force hundreds of thousands of angry union workers — a massive voting bloc — to return to work in less-than-desirable conditions.

Yikes.

According to Fox Business, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh has been deeply involved in talks with the railroad carriers and unions. President Biden himself has also reportedly taken on the issue personally, for what it’s worth. The Labor Department recently issued a statement on the rapidly developing situation.

“The parties continue to negotiate, and last night Secretary Walsh again engaged to push the parties to reach a resolution that averts any shutdown of our rail system. This was followed by dozens of calls from the president’s cabinet and top administration officials and months of administration efforts. All parties need to stay at the table, bargain in good faith to resolve outstanding issues, and come to an agreement,” a Labor Department spokesperson said.

In July, President Biden signed an executive order to form a Presidential Emergency Board (PEB) to negotiate an agreement between railroad unions and the carriers. A poll conducted in August among members of Railroad Workers United (RWU) revealed that a vast majority of railroad workers rejected the Biden administration’s attempt to intervene.

The RWU survey, as The Hill noted, revealed that railroaders — a vast majority at 96% — are still unsatisfied with the terms of the PEB, and are ready to walk out on Sept. 15 — the date when the PEB-established “cooling off period” ends. RWU indicated on its website that it received just over 3,100 responses as of late August.

National Review noted Wednesday morning that in many ways, the railroad strike, which would cripple the U.S. economy even further, has already begun, as several carriers are halting certain modes of transport and shutting down passenger lines in what appears to be the anticipation of a strike.

The American Association of Railroads said that this week they’ve begun taking steps to secure the shipments of hazardous and security-sensitive materials, such as chlorine used to purify drinking water and chemicals used in fertilizer, and warned that, “other freight customers may also start to experience delayed or suspended service over the course of [this] week, as the railroads prepare for the possibility that current labor negotiations do not result in a resolution and are required to safely and securely reduce operations.”

The NR piece added that Norfolk Southern and BSNF, two major rail carriers, have already initiated shutdown procedures for intermodal traffic as both companies prepare for strike conditions.

Adding more speculative fuel to the fire was Amtrak’s latest response, as the passenger line has already canceled some of its long-distance passenger routes. It made the decision to cancel the routes to avoid leaving passengers stranded on the tracks should the strike commence sometime early Friday morning.

The economic pain from a railroad strike would be tremendous, with the industry reporting that such a strike will result in empty store shelves and billions of lost dollars in economic output — not to mention the unintended consequences for the numerous industries that depend on railroad transportation.

Freightwaves noted:

The Association of American Railroads estimates that a nationwide shutdown of rail operations could cost $2 billion in lost economic output each day, according to a report released Thursday. AAR reached its conclusions by updating data from a 1992 Federal Railroad Administration econometric study.

AAR, which represents freight and passenger railroads, also said a short-term switch to trucks or barges “would be costly and disruptive,” with an additional 467,000 long-haul trucks needed per day to handle the freight that would have otherwise gone on rail.

Hopefully, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has some notes about the situation in her binder, because something tells me she’s gonna have more than a couple of questions from the press on the matter in the coming days.

(Natural News) By the end of the week (around September 18), more than 100,000 railroad workers across America are slated to walk off the job as part of a nationwide freight-rail strike that has been brewing for several months now.

Officials from the Biden regime are reportedly in talks right now with others in the transportation industry, including truckers, shippers, and air freight, to forge “contingency plans” for when the rail shutdown inevitably materializes. Loss of rail service will deliver a massive blow to an already fragile and failing supply chain, we are told, and Biden’s people have been tasked with developing a solution.

Nearly 30 percent of all United States freight moves via rail, the latest data shows. Half of that is bulk commodities such as energy, food, chemicals, metals, and wood products, while the other half is shipping containers full of consumer goods.

If the strike ensues as planned, the U.S. economy will lose $2 billion per day in supply chain disruptions. This will be an absolute disaster for Joe Biden and other Democrats who are vying to keep their party in power this November.

Will Biden fulfill his promise of being the most “pro-union” president in history?

We are told that most of the railroad unions involved in contract disputes have either already reached agreements or are on the verge of doing so as of September 12. Two unions representing more than 100,000 workers, however, have not and are prepared to strike as soon as Friday, September 16 unless an agreement can be made before the deadline.

At the heart of the dispute is the unions’ demand that workers be allowed to take unpaid time off for doctors’ appointments without being penalized. Rail lines do not want to allow that while workers say it needs to be part of their contracts if they are to continue working past Friday.

It is now or never for Joe Biden to keep the rail lines running, which he promised to do when he dubbed himself the most pro-union president in American history. If talks sour and workers walk off the job this Friday, then Biden will have made an even bigger fool of himself than he already has.

“Most of the 12 railroad unions have reached or finalized tentative agreements with BNSF Railway, CSX Corp., Kansas City Southern, Norfolk Southern Corp., and Union Pacific Corp. via collective bargaining,” one report explains.

“Two unions, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen and the International Association of Sheet Metal Air, Rail and Transportation Workers, accounting for more than 100,000 workers, are still holding out while negotiating.”

Amtrak has already issued a warning to passengers that travel interruptions have already begun as three long-distance routes have been removed from its train schedule.

“To avoid possible passenger disruptions while on route … these adjustments are necessary to ensure trains can reach their terminals prior to freight railroad service interruption if a resolution in negotiations is not reached,” Amtrak said in a statement.

The Association of American Railroads also issued a warning that a freight rail shutdown could “devastate” Amtrak’s operations, resulting in tens of thousands of – if not more – daily commuters no longer being able to get to work.

“Coal would stop,” added Ernie Thrasher, CEO of Xcoal Energy & Resources LLC, the biggest U.S. exporter of coal. “No coal is going to move until these guys go back to work.”

Other products that will no longer move include corn, wheat, soybeans, and other soy-based products, lumber, corn syrup, liquor, animal feed and various other grains and foods.

Public Schools Brainwashing Children to Eat Bugs

Public Schools Brainwashing Children to Eat Bugs

BY ALEX NEWMAN

SEE: https://thenewamerican.com/public-schools-brainwashing-children-to-eat-bugs;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

Following recommendations by the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, governments and “education” publishers are using “public schools” to indoctrinate American children into eating bugs and weeds.   

Just last week, The Newman Report received pictures of an assignment for 5th-grade students in a Sarasota, Florida, elementary school touting the alleged benefits of consuming insects. 

The documents, sent by a concerned parent turned whistleblower, begin with a reading assignment headlined “Bugs: Food of the Future?”

According to the propaganda piece, there are “several reasons scientists support the use of insects as an important food source in the future.” These include claims that bugs are “a good source of nutrition” and have a “much smaller impact on the environment.” 

Another reading assignment for the same 10-year-old student, this one headlined “Eating Bugs and Seaweed: Americans Need to Open Their Minds,” doubled down on the creepy propaganda. 

“Eating insects is an efficient way to provide basic food needs,” the passage claimed. “If people knew the facts, they might change their minds.” 

“Americans need to get past their fears of eating unfamiliar things,” the propaganda piece decreed. “For many reasons, insects and seaweed may be the foods of the future.” 

Of course, there was no mention of the many concerns about eating insects. These include the presence of chitin in bugs, which according to a 2017 study posted at the National Institutes of Health website “provoke human innate immunity to generate a deluge of inflammatory cytokines, which injure organs (leading to asthma, atopic dermatitis, etc.), and in persistent situations lead to death (multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cancer, etc.).” A 2019 study posted on NIH highlighted concerns about how eating insects transmit dangerous parasites to humans and animals. 

The reading assignments for impressionable school children also did not mention that in Leviticus 11:41, the Bible describes eating most types of insects as “an abomination.”

After the reading assignments, students were expected to complete a number of multiple-choice questions again celebrating the eating of creepy crawlers as an environmentally friendly, nutritious alternative to fish, beef and chicken.  

The propaganda was produced by Benchmark Education, which describes itself as “a leading provider of literacy and language programs, intervention resources, and professional teaching resources for K-12 ELA learning.” Schools nationwide use its propaganda resources, which boast of being aligned with Common Core. 

The company has previously come under fire in places like Colorado for quack reading programs that “didn’t properly cover reading basics like phonics and phonological awareness,” as one educator in Denver put it. 

The company’s website is also filled with dangerous far-left extremism such as “diversity” and “culturally responsive teaching” masquerading as “education.” 

But none of this is happening in a vacuum. This writer first exposed the UN agenda to have Westerners eat bugs almost a decade ago when the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) — currently led by a member of the Communist Party of China — put out a report calling for a massive entomophagy propaganda campaign in schools and media.  

“Western societies require tailored media communication strategies and educational programmes (sic) that address the disgust factor,” the UN FAO report declared in 2013, calling for “cooperation between all sectors of the education community.”

“Addressing the entomophagy disgust factor in Western societies might depend largely on the ability to involve the entire educational community,” the report continues. “For this reason, engaging all sectors is recommended, particularly in Western societies.”

That the UN’s highly dishonest and disgusting insects-as-food propaganda has found its way into U.S. elementary schools is hardly surprising. What is surprising is that parents continue to tolerate these outrageous abuses of their children that threaten not just their children’s well-being, but the nation itself.

Soldiers Told to Apply for Food Stamps as Biden Sends Billions for Ukraine Military

Go Army! Eat Navy!

It seems the Democrats’ plan for our military is to have them vaxxed, woke, and broke. Thanks to a scorching case of Bidenflation, active service members are struggling to make ends meet here on the homefront. Rather than tossing our soldiers a well-deserved raise, the Pentagon’s official response is, “Get on the dole, dogface.”

How can the government expect our armed forces to wake up at 5 a.m. and spend 10 hours a day learning battle techniques the difference between genderqueers and pansexuals on an empty stomach?

Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael A. Grinston released financial guidance to his soldiers recently, stating, “With inflation affecting everything from gas prices to groceries to rent, some Soldiers and their families are finding it harder to get by on the budgets they’ve set and used before. Soldiers of all ranks can seek guidance, assistance, and advice through the Army’s Financial Readiness Program.”

SHAME ON BIDEN-O-RAMA! Roughly 25% of our enlisted service personnel can’t afford to eat properly. 

Among the various options for financial help and advice for soldiers and their spouses in the guidance is a link to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, aka SNAP, aka demeaning food stamps.

Here is the SNAP “guidance” from the Pentagon to our hungry soldiers:

SNAP is a U.S. government program that provides benefits to eligible low-income individuals and families via an electronic benefits transfer card that can be used like a debit card to purchase eligible food in authorized retail food stores. Service members and their families may be eligible. To determine qualification, visit the SNAP website or call the SNAP information line at 800-221-5689.

But here is what steams my clams: the Army can’t get a raise to buy food, yet the Democrats, drunk on power since they took all three branches of the government, have sent roughly $54 billion to Ukraine’s military. Let’s not forget the billions of dollars worth of war material that Joe “allegedly showered with his young daughter” Biden left to a bunch of terrorists. Telling those who lay their life on the line to apply for food stamps is a humiliating kick in the crotch for our nation’s patriotic warriors.

FACT-O-RAMA! Though we were never on food stamps when I was a kid, we didn’t have a lot of money. My mother would buy off-brand foods like “Hydrox” cookies instead of Oreos. Fruit Loops were for the rich kids. Fruit “Rings?” Now we’re talking!  Oh, the shame.

What Have We Learned?

We’ve learned that the toilet people in the Democrat Party, especially Biden, have wrought financial disaster for our country in a remarkably brief amount of time and we are all struggling, especially our underpaid soldiers. Meanwhile, those same assclowns sent mad stacks to another country’s military. Soon after, they told our struggling service women and men they won’t be getting a raise to help their financial debacle, but the country they defend is happy to humiliate them with food stamps. Not to mention, these same lib-clowns will spend trillions on pointless environmental programs to stave off a mythical catastrophe in which all of mankind is vaporized by solar flares because of cow farts.

Check out this new video by our friends at “Jokes and a Point.” They make fun of the bolshies better than anyone else on youtube. Remember, conservatives are way funnier than the commies.

Brace Yourself: Food Shortages Will Be a Reality in the West This Winter

Because most people don’t know a farmer personally anymore, everyone should realize that they don’t make piles of money producing our food. A good year can be followed by three bad ones, and 2022 has been a burden. Between record heat waves in the U.S. and abroad, droughts in the middle of the country, fertilizer shortages, and rising costs for just about every farm input, many American farms are on the brink. Everyone will feel the pinch in continued food price increases and shortages at the store.

As bad as the agricultural outlook is in America, it is far worse in Europe. The dedication to a green energy suicide pact on the continent is colliding with the news Russia will not ship any fossil fuels until the West lifts sanctions. The skyrocketing energy prices have farmers leaving crops in the fields to die.

In Norway, one farmer’s story is instructive. Vegetable farmer Per Odd Gjestvang is leaving his leeks in the field to die because the cost of harvesting and adequately storing them is too high: Around 29 tonnes of leeks are lost. It has a gross value of around 700,000. “This is madness. This is food that should have been harvested and taken care of,” says Gjestvang.

On the farm, the family grows around 3,000 tonnes of vegetables each growing season. The leeks had normally been taken to cold storage so that they would be found in Norwegian vegetable counters this winter. But the calculation simply does not add up for the farmer.

With today’s electricity prices, Gjestvang does not see it as financially sound to spend money on storing the vegetables. In that case, it will be a purely loss-making project, he believes.

It is easy to understand why he feels this way. Despite energy subsidies for farmers in the Netherlands, the costs have outstripped Gjestvang’s profit:

In the high season, Gjestvang uses around 80,000 kilowatt-hours a month for cooling. Previously, Gjestvang paid around [NOK] 24,000 for electricity per month. Now the price is almost 16 times as high.

The way the market is now, with a cautiously high electricity price of NOK five [the country’s base currency], it will be NOK 400,000. It is not possible to achieve, he says.

Norway’s largest vegetable producer is also considering storing the vegetables on the field for as long as possible beyond the autumn. It will be too expensive to store and cool the vegetables in the usual way. One carrot producer is already beyond the appropriate harvest time and believes his harvest will only be good for “pig fodder.”

Likewise, Sweden’s largest tomato producer is suspending operations for its winter crop. The firm’s price per kilowatt hour has more than doubled, and the winter crop is grown in a greenhouse. Total costs to produce the winter crop have increased tenfold since last season.

Swedish journalist Peter Imanuelsen notes these reductions in agricultural production are happening while the Netherlands is forcing 11,200 farms to close to meet climate goals. This action will cripple the food supply on the continent since the Netherlands is the world’s second-largest exporter of food:

In 2021, Germany was the largest international consumer of Dutch bio-products (€26.3 billion), followed by Belgium (€12.1 billion), France (€8.6 billion), and the UK (€8.6 billion).

Ornamental plants and flowers are the hottest export items for the Netherlands, raking in about €12 billion in 2021. Dairy products, eggs, meat, and vegetables profit over €25 billion combined.

Nearly every Western nation is proposing ways to control nitrogen emissions. Nitrogen is essential to plant growth. Even if a grower uses hydroponic systems, the plant food in the water contains nitrogen. I plant peas every fall in my own garden to nitrogen-fix the soil. Elites in Davos and the EU believe they have the solution to make agriculture more environmentally friendly. Their arrogance leads to a 21st century Lysenkoism that is anti-science and pro-scarcity.

And American farmers won’t escape the green power grab. The “Inflation Reduction Act” puts farmers under the control of the EPA to govern nitrogen emissions. Additionally, it allocates $20 billion to fund “climate-smart agricultural practices.” News from Europe helps us to predict how bureaucrats will use this money. Regulators will spend it reducing meat production further, especially beef, and lowering food output by restricting fertilizer and energy from fossil fuels.

Farmers are the most conservation-minded people alive because their livelihood depends on it. Yet, no Western government seems at all interested in listening to them.

THE GREAT UNRAVELING is now upon us… it’s all breaking down with stunning speed

(Natural News) The western world is breaking down with stunning speed as all the lies, delusions, corruption and fake fiat money printing have reached a tipping point of collapse. Nothing works anymore. The governments of the world are criminal cartels that are deliberately dismantling food and energy resources necessary to keep half the human population alive. This coming winter, Europeans are going to starve and freeze to death in record numbers that hearken back to the Dark Ages, pre-electricity, and pre-fossil fuels. North Americans won’t be spared either, as rolling blackouts and food scarcity will dramatically worsen in the coming months.

Food, fertility, energy, transportation, and supply chains are all being taken down in a controlled demolition of the western world. And taking its place will be the rising BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and more to join soon) that control most of the world’s commodities, natural gas, oil, fertilizer, and gold.

Western governments are waging genocidal wars against their own people

Informed Americans are fleeing US cities as lawlessness and violence take hold. The FBI and DOJ have been fully weaponized into a lawless crime cartel that terrorizes America’s conservatives. The CDC, FDA, and WHO continue to push deadly “vaccine” shots that are killing people by the millions, and Big Tech — which we now know rigged the 2020 election by censoring the true story of Hunter Biden’s laptop — is pushing woke transgenderism while protecting groomers, child mutilators, and abortion mass murderers.

The British Royal Navy just launched an aircraft carrier (the HMS Prince of Wales) that broke down just one day into a four-month mission. Apparently, one of the propellers (the “screws”) won’t work, and the multi-billion dollar vessel can only sail around in circles. Somehow, this is entirely fitting, given the insanity, corruption, and incompetence of not just the British Empire but the entire swath of Western European nations that now demonstrate pure incompetence and suicidal tendencies. No doubt there are plenty of transgenders, gays, and lesbians on board the HMS Prince of Wales, but none of them can figure out how to make the propellers work. This is the perfect showcase of what western civilization has become: An incompetent, groomified Idiocracy of gender delusions and bureaucratic stupidity, pretending to still be a world power while their own people are ready to be frozen and starved to death in a few months’ time.

It begs the question: How is NATO going to defeat Russia if they can’t launch an aircraft carrier that works beyond a single day? That same ship, by the way, has previously suffered ocean water flooding of the engine room, meaning the British can’t even build a modern ship that doesn’t catastrophically leak — something that even the ancient Vikings figured out centuries ago. Russia has nuclear-armed hypersonic missiles. The British Royal Navy has a gay aircraft carrier that barely floats and can’t sail, all while the British version of the Air Force has banned while males from flying aircraft from this day forward (seriously, it’s true). You do the math on where all this woketard insanity leads… and kiss the United Kingdom goodbye as a dominant political entity on planet Earth.

The same insanity gripping suicidal European leaders has also been applied to the USA and Canada

The yanks in America aren’t much better off, either. They have an economy running on debt fumes and the relic of the petrodollar which is soon to collapse into the history books as more financially solvent nations like Russia take the reins and lead world commerce for generations to come.

The continued suicide of the West knows no bounds. California recently banned the sale of new combustion engine cars and trucks beginning in 2035, even though California doesn’t — and won’t — have an electrical grid that can handle the charging of electric vehicles for the masses. Much like Europe is being thrust into the Dark Ages due to a deliberate dismantling of its energy infrastructure, California is intentionally trying to plunge its own citizens into a 19th-century existence without automobiles.

Should the people there — whoever manages to survive the incessant death shots mislabeled “vaccines” — resort to horses and bicycles? The state has already banned gasoline-powered chainsaws, lawnmowers, and leaf blowers, making forestry work nearly impossible to accomplish. In a few more years, first responders won’t even be able to use gasoline vehicles to respond to emergencies… not that any police are going to stick around much longer in crime-infested cities like Los Angeles in the first place.

America and all of western civilization are crumbling at astonishing speed. Food, energy, transportation, election integrity, free speech, religious freedom, public safety, and the currency itself are all eroding right before our eyes, all while brain-dead Biden claims that Republicans are “a threat to democracy.”

The total takedown of America has been the goal all along, of course, among Democrats who despise families, children, and the rule of law. We now live in a nation where armed Antifa lunatics stand guard to protect trannies and child groomers — in the state of Texas, no less — while police are ordered to stand down and watch. If armed conservatives guarded a conservative speaker, that would be deemed an “insurrection” or an act of “extremism.” When armed Antifa guards transgenders and child groomers, everyone is told to just tolerate the insanity and let their children be indoctrinated by pedophiles and lunatics.

We have reached the last chapter of western civilization, and the collapse will be a living hell for everyone, including those who kept pushing for exactly what we’re seeing unfold. Sadly, we’ve been warning about all this in the alternative media for a long, long time. As they say, Alex Jones was right yet again, because he was warning about this outcome in the post-9/11 years of 2001 – 2010. Now, America is paying the price of not listening to the warnings… and it’s only going to get far worse from here.

The War on Farmers and Food | Beyond the Cover

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the “green” global elites are aiming for total food control and that their power grab, which is now most evident in Holland, threatens the entire planet, including the United States. In this episode of “Beyond the Cover,” host Gary Benoit interviews senior editor William F. Jasper about this power grab and what can be done to stop it. Bill wrote two articles on the subject, “No Farmers, No Food” and “Biden’s War on Farmers,” that appears in the September 12, 2002 “The War on Farmers and Food” issue of The New American.
