Until I started covering this I never realized how tangled our financial system and food supply chain was. Seriously! I don’t think we realize this until we have to understand it.
I am going to share four articles with y’all for this video I hope y’all will take time to read them.
Most Americans Are Not Going To Be Able To Handle What Lies Ahead
According to Tyler Durden, this virus isn’t the end of the world. I agree. I am not so much worried about a virus as I am the financial fallout. We are currently binge-watching tv shows and eating. If obesity was the only problem we could celebrate. Not only are people binge eating but they are binge drinking, gambling, and using drugs (legal and illegal). On top of everything else, no one is allowed to go to a gym. Pioneers walked a lot. There’s a hint. Use common sense for your area. Social distancing, using a mask if you are required to and so on. I personally have been watching a lot of DVDs, Netflix, and Hulu. We get out to walk Sarge because he can’t walk himself. Bottom line of this article is that the longer Americans are forced to hunker down, the more self-destructive we will become.
Virus triggers African unrest: Riots break out in Johannesburg over food shortages and Lesotho’s under-fire PM deploys army to ‘restore order’ as Covid-19 claims over 1,000 lives across the continent – including Nigerian presidential aide
Here is something to think about the longer this lockdown goes on. Will these riots happen here in America. I don’t have an answer and according to the above article, we will be too fat, lazy, and completely out of shape to riot over anything besides a shortage of Oreos. The truth is this disruption was engineered. We do have some people who came out to protest on Trump’s cue but that is it. It took a green light from this fat arrogant jerk to get people to protest our lockdown.
Across India, a massive agricultural crisis in the making due to coronavirus shutdown
Let’s be honest, this virus isn’t the reason we are going to see shortages of food across the world. It has exposed weakness in the system. It will affect the shortages we will see in the Fall and into 2021. Possible even up till 2025. What people won’t talk about is the fact we are going into a Solar Minimum. Which simply means less sun and more terrible weather. Leaving out DARPA’s involvement. There is no doubt that crops like rice, wheat, and various other crops will be in trouble and the things we are used to seeing will be going away for a long time. Which brings us to the next article on winter wheat plantings.
With winter wheat plantings down, is a shortage looming
Last year at this time there were serious rainstorms that flooded fields across America. Thank you, DARPA. (Defence Advancement Research Project Agency https://www.darpa.mil) They, of course, don’t tell all their secret research plans or accomplishments. We are also seeing a mass culling of livestock. Partly because they can’t be processed in time and partly because the government has ordered them to.
The links are below and I hope y’all will take time to read the articles.
