Is the Food Crisis Over or Just Getting Started?

Guest Post by Chris MacIntosh

Food Crisis Just Getting Started

Are you hungry? Good, according to the central planners.

The folks over at the UN stopped destroying the world for a brief few minutes to publish a piece (snapshot below) justifying their behavior and explaining the “benefits” of the famine they’ve engineered.

Not making this up.

The article remained on the UN website for a day or so before being deleted after it went viral on social media, with people horrified at the truly unbelievable evil. The good thing about this is that as they continue with their predictive programming and NLP (seriously, look into both and it promises to blow your mind), more and more people wake from their trance. Once woken, they realize the incredible danger they are all in. And that is a good thing because you can’t fight an enemy until you understand one exists.

The “great reset” requires a populace beholden to the government and nobody else. As the central planners pursue their agenda of getting there, this is bound to be fraught with an awakening and a lot of angst.

The Great Awakening of the Average Joe

While Joe Sixpack doesn’t understand most of these, he doesn’t actually need to.

What Joe does care about is when he can’t afford groceries and when his electricity bill now suddenly wipes out his entire annual disposable income.

And that is enough to provide both pushback and an increasing ability to awaken to the horrors of what comes for him if this communist agenda masquerading as a plan to “save us from climate change” is NOT stopped in its tracks.

And with this realization will come politicians — many who themselves are parasites but doing what comes naturally to them: sensing a shift in the winds and rushing to get in front of it, champion it, and gain support.

Here, take a look. According to France24, Giuseppe Conte, the head of Five Star, said:

I have a strong fear that September will be a time when many families will face the terrible choice of paying their electricity bills or buying food. We are absolutely willing to dialogue, to make our constructive contribution to the government, to Draghi, (but) we are not willing to write a blank cheque.

He’s not wrong, of course, but this is a thug who was a massive contributor to the problems our proverbial “Joe” now faces.

Take a look at this.

And as we’ve been continuously saying: energy underpins EVERYTHING. Which is why Eurozone CPI looks like it just mainlined viagra.

And this is saying something because as you know the way they measure CPI is, of course, complete hogwash and roughly half the real rate. Check out John Williams’ Shadowstats, where inflation in the US is calculated based on the methodology used back in the 80’s (pre-fraud). It just hit 17.3%. That’s a tad more than the 9.1% print they just tried to trick you with.

The other thing “Joe” cares about is when the government — under the guise of “saving the planet” — begins the process of stealing up to 50% of the farms in the Netherlands.

Reducing Nitrogen Emissions

Under a ridiculous narrative of “reducing nitrogen omissions” the Dutch government are proceeding with a blatant land grab of 30% of the Farmland. It is worth pointing out that air is 78% nitrogen. These morons have literally decided that air is dangerous.

Anyway, the farmers are having none of it and have blockaded roads, airports, and distribution centers. The fishermen have joined in and blocked the ports.

Domestically the Dutch farmers have massive support. Gratefully, people seem to intuitively understand that without them there will be no food. The propaganda is no longer having the desired effect on the populace. What a shame!

Every day a few more people wake to reality, and once you wake, you can’t unsee what you’ve seen. The existing political parties’ credibility is severely damaged. I’ve thought for some years now that if there is to be a shift, it will likely come from third parties. This is true across the Western world, and not uniquely a Dutch thing.

The Farmer–Citizen Movement in the Netherlands is now gaining momentum and size faster than any other.

Over in France, the Marxist agenda gathers momentum.

France plans full nationalization of power utility EDF

France will fully nationalise EDF (EDF.PA), Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said on Wednesday, in a move that would give the government more control over a restructuring of the debt-laden group while contending with a European energy crisis.

It is at this point that we should review a little history.

The last head of a European government to be killed and eaten by a mob was Dutch Johan de Witt in 1672, who was mutilated, hung, and had his liver roasted and digested by Orangists in the Hague.

Davos man deserves at least as much.

In the meantime, Europeans are going to be cold and hungry. Winter is just a few short months away now which brings us to investment implications. The stampede will begin in earnest for food and all those banned products like fertilizer.

I put up more than 24 quarts of tomatoes, squash, and a variety of sauces that will add to our larder down under our home where it is nice and cool. I store root vegetables there for a while, then can those too.

Please grasp that there is only so much time until they decide just-in-time is just-for-vaccinated.

If the preacher man is still around, perhaps you will share the one about the storehouse.

Maybe a modern day de Witt can wander down to your larder too. You’re gonna need protein too.

I raise rabbits. Lots of protein hopping around here and a bit in jars, pressure canned for 75 minutes at 10-12 psi.

I do anything with canned rabbit you might do with canned or leftover chicken.

Chicken and dumplings taste about the same with rabbit, as does any soups or stews or casseroles. Domestic rabbit is quite tender and tastes a lot more like chicken than wild rabbit.

Do you eat them when they start misbehaving after the third year?

I’ve harvested 220 lbs of tomatoes from the 8 plants in my garden so far this year. I won’t dig the potatoes until the end of Sept, so I don’t know about those yet. On the other side, the jalapenos did poorly this year for some reason.
To get good soil, just try to grow worms. They’ll take care of the rest.

i’ll go 1st–
i’m going to start back gardening again but my back is getting too old/creaky to bend over much so i’m going to use a bunch of planting boxes–
one of the areas that i would like to put one is an area i have never used b/c it is low & sometimes holds huge amounts of water–
i am putting the raised beds on cement blocks so i will have a total of approximately 20″ of dirt that i will be planting into–
my question–if water stands under the planters 4 long periods of time(days,sometimes weeks),how far will the water “wick”up into the soil?

1. You should be good with 20″ of soil above the water. I start my seedlings in a tray where I water from the bottom up in 3″ cups.

2. You can save both time and back ache if you use the Ruth Stout (deep mulch) gardening method. Look it up. I’ve been using it for better than 10 years and it works. Virtually no weeding, no tilling and only watered two times in 10 years, and then only specific broadleaf plants.

Tampa,
The water will wick up more than you might imagine. It depends on how well the bottom is “sealed”.
If the bottom is sealed well you’ll probably drown the plants.
We’ve gone to 15 gallon buckets. We buy Rubbermaid tubs (rectangular in shape) and I drill holes the sides about 2 inches from the bottom. This allows a big rain to drain from the tubs. We’ve had pretty god success. Other advantages you’ll use less fertilizer, less weeds (mulch the top 4inches), far easier harvests and you can move them around if they’re getting too much or not enough sun. Also, if a hurricane is coming you can pull them into a shed. We line the tubs with a polyester garden cloth and put a 2 inch PVC pipe standing up for easy watering. YT has a bunch of bucket gardening videos. We’ve had good success with potatoes, sweet potato, beets, tomatoes, beans etc.

Look into “Grow Bags”. I have been using 20 gallon ones for a couple of years and they are great.

Like these;

Easy to move and cheaper than plastic tubs or pots. Just watch the price. They go up and down a lot. I paid $65 for 20 20 gallon ones two years ago. They have gone up.

If you have a spare room like me, get a couple of LED grow lights and you can grow year round inside on tables. No bending or weather issues. I do carrots, peas, beans, cherry tomatoes, peppers, herbs.

I am lucky to have had a Dad that taught me how to hunt and fish, and that I didn’t waste my parents money by going to college, but learned a trade instead.
Plumbing, electric, hvac….all the ingredients of civilization is what I do.
Gardening is the one thing I enjoy doing, but am not real good at…yet.
I’ve had times I had so many tomatoes I couldn’t give them away other years not so much. I am very good at okra though.

Good for you.

I am giving up on potato growing. Didn’t work last year. Didn’t work this year. Meanwhile, we are inundated with basil, squash, cucumbers and tomatoes, so I am canning and freezing tomato sauce and pesto and will buy the potatoes.

Strange, I find them easy to grow in abundance. For the cost of 5lbs I get can 50lbs with little maintenance.

I can buy 5lb. of potatoes for $2.50, so right now I will leave that up to the grocery retailers. I spent money on dehydrated potato bits that are like hashbrowns about 10 years ago, they are still good.

You can only store potatoes for a short while, dehydrated can be stored a very long time. The enzyme value of raw potato is very high, once cooked they are not that good for you but taste great and fill the stomach. Maybe we need both raw and dehydrated.

True, potato’s are cheap. For me it’s just fun to do, not a survival thing. Where I live the elevation, varmints and tree canopy makes certain type’s of plant’s a challenge to grow.

This sort of thing

Must be something in the soil the potatoes don’t like as they are one of the easiest plants to grow.

I use NLP every day in my biz. For example: “Looking forward to hearing back from you soon on this proposal”. “We offer XYZ…by the XYZ…since XYZ’s the most efficient product…”

65%+ of Americans are visual, only 10-15% are auditory like me.
