That it\u2019s nothing but a psy-op designed to spread panic and give suppliers an excuse to jack up their prices in response to fake \u201cscarcity\u201d created by the press.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are indications that this may be about to change.<\/p>\n<p>In a Brussels press conference on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iBxpwOmAQcw\">March 25th of this year<\/a>, Joe Biden said\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Regarding food shortages \u2013 yes, we did talk about shortages, and they\u2019re going to be real.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2026which is a decidedly odd thing to say.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time the only reason to strongly affirm something is \u201cgoing to be real\u201d from now on, is that up to that point it was not.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, there are a few signs that the food supply is about to genuinely come under attack.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Ukraine war &amp; Western sanctions<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s well documented that Russia\u2019s \u201cspecial operation\u201d in Ukraine has driven up the prices of oil, gas and wheat. Partly due to disruption on the ground, but mostly due to Western sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>Russia is the largest exporter of wheat and other grains in the world, and these products are used not just for making food for humans, but also as animal feed. Western nations boycotting Russian wheat will therefore potentially drive up the price of a huge variety of foodstuffs.<\/p>\n<p>We have already seen rationing of sunflower oil (a major Ukrainian export), with reports that this could extend to all kinds of other products including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10749143\/Cooking-oil-rationing-spread-products-amid-warnings-food-crisis-price-fears-grow.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sausages, chicken, pasta and beer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This war did not need to happen, it could have been prevented (and could still be stopped) by a simple agreement on Ukrainian neutrality. Combine that with the sweeping nature of the anti-Russian sanctions \u2013 unmatched in recent history \u2013 and you can reason that the chaos on the ground and concomitant increase in food prices is part of a deliberate policy serving the Great Reset agenda.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Increasing the price of oil<\/h4>\n<p>The increased price of oil has natural and obvious knock-on effects for every industrial sector \u2013 most especially transport, logistics and agriculture. Despite fears of a cost of living crisis, warnings of food shortages and Russia\u2019s status as the largest exporter of oil and gas in the world, Western nations and their allies have made virtually zero effort to lower the cost of oil.<\/p>\n<p>The high oil price has already seen the Russian ruble <a href=\"https:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2022\/04\/08\/despite-sanctions-the-ruble-is-stronger-than-before-the-war-why\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bounce back to pre-war strength<\/a>, and yet Saudi Arabia has been <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.businessinsider.com\/news\/commodities\/oil-price-today-asia-aramco-of-saudi-price-hikes-russia-2022-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increasing their prices<\/a>, not flooding the market to tank the price as they did in 2014\/15.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping the cost of petroleum high is a deliberate policy decision, and one that shows the cost of living crisis \u2013 and any resultant food shortages \u2013 are being engineered on purpose.<\/p>\n<div class=\"a124987f279ada0338469db0cf4fd76e\" data-index=\"9\">\n<div id=\"as4094\" data-title=\"You Might Also Like\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>3. Bird flu<\/h4>\n<p>The press is claiming there is a major bird flu outbreak going on. As we <a href=\"https:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2022\/04\/11\/bird-flu-another-phony-pandemic-this-time-for-chickens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published last week<\/a>, the dynamics of \u201cbird flu\u201d seem to be identical to Covid. Birds are tested for the virus using PCR tests, culled if they are \u201cpositive\u201d, and these culls are then labelled \u201cbird flu deaths\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This process has already seen at least 27 million poultry birds destroyed in the US alone, the world\u2019s largest exporter of both chicken and eggs. France, Canada and the UK have also culled millions of birds.<\/p>\n<p>Bird flu has already (allegedly) caused the price of chicken and eggs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10682501\/Egg-prices-skyrocket-52-TWO-MONTHS-bird-flu-decimates-commercial-flocks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to skyrocket<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>(As a potentially important aside, a new report has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/society\/2022\/apr\/24\/pigs-can-pass-deadly-superbugs-to-people-study-reveals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">warned that pigs can pass \u201csuperbugs\u201d to humans<\/a>, so pigs may be for the chop sometime soon, too)<\/p>\n<h4>4. UK &amp; US paying farmers to stop farming<\/h4>\n<p>Going back to last May, the Biden administration began pushing farmers to add agricultural land to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.governing.com\/now\/the-biden-administration-will-pay-farmers-more-money-not-to-farm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \u201cconservation reserve program\u201d<\/a>, a federally funded program allegedly aimed at preserving the environment. The program is essentially paying farmers not to farm. A very odd policy decision, given the widely predicted food shortages.<\/p>\n<p>A state-level plan in California is going to <a href=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/2022\/03\/california-drought-pay-farmers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pay farmers to grow less<\/a>, this time in the name of saving water.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the UK has a similar program going on for (again, allegedly) totally different reasons. Starting this past February, the British government is paying lump sums of up \u00a3100,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/government-commits-to-support-farmers-who-wish-to-leave-the-industry#:~:text=Government%20publishes%20response%20to%20the,delinked%20payments%20in%20England%20consultation.&amp;text=Farmers%20who%20wish%20to%20leave%20the%20industry%20will%20be%20supported,sector%20in%20a%20managed%20way.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to any farmers who want to retire from farming<\/a>. Again, a strange policy during a period of geopolitical unrest impacting the food supply.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Manufactured fertiliser shortages<\/h4>\n<p>Russia and Belarus are two of the biggest exporters of fertiliser and fertiliser-related products in the world, accounting for<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1278057\/export-value-fertilizers-worldwide-by-country\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> around 10 billion dollars<\/a> worth of trade manually. So, the war in Ukraine (and the sanctions) are already hitting the fertiliser market hard, with prices hitting new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global-development\/2022\/mar\/21\/fertiliser-prices-hit-new-highs-as-multiple-problems-affect-global-supplies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">all-time highs in March<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>China, the third biggest exporter of fertiliser in the world, has had a self-imposed export ban on the product since last summer, allegedly in an effort to keep domestic food prices low.<\/p>\n<p>Given that, it is very strange that America\u2019s Union Pacific Railway has suddenly placed a limit on the number of fertiliser deliveries it will make, informing fertiliser giant CF Industries they will need to cut their train car use by as much as 20%.<\/p>\n<p>In their public response, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfindustries.com\/newsroom\/2022\/union-pacific-shipping-restrictions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CF Industries stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The timing of this action by Union Pacific could not come at a worse time for farmers\u2026Not only will fertilizer be delayed by these shipping restrictions, but additional fertilizer needed to complete spring applications may be unable to reach farmers at all. By placing this arbitrary restriction on just a handful of shippers, Union Pacific is jeopardizing farmers\u2019 harvests and increasing the cost of food for consumers.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>BONUS: Fires at food processing plants<\/h4>\n<p>This get\u2019s a bonus slot, not an official spot, because of the multiple unknowns in this case.<\/p>\n<p>In the strangest and most ephemeral story on the list, it seems there has been a rash of fires at food processing plants all over the United States in the last six months. Since August 2021 at least 16 major fires have broken out at food processing plants all across the country.<\/p>\n<p>In September last year a meat processor in Nebraska burned down, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksnblocal4.com\/2021\/09\/13\/gi-fire-rescue-battling-fire-investigating-reported-explosion-jbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">impacting 5% of the country\u2019s beef supply<\/a>. In March of this year fire shut down a Nestle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodmanufacturing.com\/safety\/news\/22131565\/fire-shutters-arkansas-nestle-frozen-foods-plant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">frozen food plant in Arkansas<\/a> and a major potato processing site in Belfast, Maine was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wabi.tv\/2022\/03\/30\/officials-determine-cause-fire-belfast-potato-processing-facility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">almost levelled by a huge fire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The examples just keep on coming.<\/p>\n<p>In just the last week two different single-engine planes have crashed into two different food plants, causing major fires. One at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10729635\/Idaho-UPS-pilot-30-killed-instantly-plan-crashes-potato-processing-plant.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">potato processing plant in Idaho<\/a>, another at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/18337149\/general-mills-covington-georgia-fire-plane-crash-live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General Mills plant in Georgia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Right now we can\u2019t prove this is a deliberate campaign, or even statistically unusual, but it certainly warrants some further investigation.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a good write-up on this story on <a href=\"https:\/\/timcast.com\/news\/strange-trend-of-food-processing-plants-fires-manifests-across-the-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tim Pool\u2019s website<\/a>, and an in-depth twitter thread covering all the recent events from Dr Ben Braddock <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GraduatedBen\/status\/1516851257381642244\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p>In summary\u2026<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A war which did not need to happen is driving up food and oil prices.<\/li>\n<li>Sanctions which did not need to be put in place are <em>also<\/em> driving up food and oil prices.<\/li>\n<li>Western allies are intentionally raising their oil prices.<\/li>\n<li>Despite warning of a food crisis, US and UK are paying farmers not to farm.<\/li>\n<li>A \u201cbird flu epidemic\u201d very much like the fake Covid \u201cpandemic\u201d is driving up the price of poultry and eggs.<\/li>\n<li>Western companies are actively making the fertiliser shortages worse.<\/li>\n<li>Bizarre fires are crippling large sections of the US food industry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Taken individually maybe these points could all be seen as mistakes or coincidences, but when you put them all together it\u2019s not hard to spot the pattern.
