We have a lot to cover regarding our food supply chain and it’s impending demise. We have farmers who are being told to “Quit Farming”. This is unheard of. But not only is it happening here in America, but it’s also happening across the world. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been on a shopping spree. How does that affect us? They are buying ranches and farms forcing multi-generational farms and ranches to close. Henry Kissinger once said “One who controls oil controls that nation. But one who controls food controls the world.” That is exactly what Gates Foundation is doing. They are buying up the sources of food and putting them out of business. We won’t go into his other ventures here that’s for Anarchy Land. 

Since this coronavirus mayhem broke out we have seen shortages of essential items like toilet paper, paper towels, bleach, and cold/flu products which have been rationed. We have seen food being rationed because of the mayhem. This has happened before. In 1914 there was a boom in agriculture. WW I sparked this boom and farmers took out loans for equipment that would help them produce more food. Of course, we know what happened in 1929. The crash came the prices dropped and farmers were paid to dump their crops by co-ops. We are seeing a repeat of this. The prices rose and now they are dropping. Packing factories are closing “indefinitely”! That is a scary word to think about. This implies that they will not be reopening any time soon. This applies to chicken, beef, and pork. Dairy products are going to be included. So much for Brazil sending Chickens to India. And if you are a farmworker don’t worry, the WhiteHouse is going to make your peanut pay even smaller. If you are even allowed to have a farm for people to work on you will be able to pay your farmhands even less. 

But don’t worry we will have cockroach milk and textured fake meat.
