Global Lock Down Begins as Food Shortages Loom

This video was originally published 19/9/2019

Let me bring you back to not only the cold and wet weather, but also the slowest planting season on record in the United States stretching back to 1938, in the hope that this will serve as a reminder, especially for those who have a memory of a ‘goldfish’.

This was accompanied by the biggest floods Nebraska had ever seen, along with multiple floods heading down the Mississippi River. This caused the Mississippi to crest to the highest level ever recorded and swamped farmland as well. The mainstream media, however, quit talking about the events.

Even with the silence from the media, you knew it was going to be tumultuous this coming harvest season. Illinois, for example, reported their corn planting progress, represented by the black line at the 10% mark (Below), compared to previous years of 100% on this chart. That is where we are in 2019 sitting at a 90% reduction in corn production.

Additionally, the chart below shows the losses and reduction of year-on-year averages, and as shown, — 65% in Illinois, — 59% in Indiana and a lot more negatives across the map. Now, do you think we are still going to have a good corn crop this year?

On the other hand, these are the numbers, percentage wise, of harvested corn by October 5th at record lows.

Anyhow, food prices are expected to move up greatly at the end of the year. Many people are aware of this because it is around the holiday time; Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, because this is the time when food prices would be heading up. Items will be 50% more than what they paid last year for the same items people might buy once a year, like cranberries or pumpkin mix. But manufacturers are using more cellulose filler in factory processed foods to off-set rising food input costs.

Reasons for this are related to the Grand Solar Minimum and there are already people out there, physicists, for instance, who are explaining this (GSM) to government officials, so they know what is happening with this 400-year solar cycle. Yet for some reason, this is not relayed to the people, which I guess in order to prevent panic.

When you start to see crops looking like this, iced out corn caused by the first frost in Iowa, which crippled corn farmers previously on September 10th, you know we are getting into losses. Now that the freeze is coming early, you can forget about the recent devastating floods, the maturation in growth has stopped with the cold temperatures.

Then what about inflation? That is a nasty little monster, which by the way is always a consistent 2% per year. We as a society are now coming into something that the central banks cannot control called food, because they cannot print more food. Print money yes to keep the logistics machine moving, print food no.

Conveniently though, these satellite images of the fires from the Saudi oil facilities can help explain away all these losses.

It gets even better when they come out and say, “Satellite images reveal it will take 6 months to repair these oil facilities.” This means five and a half million barrel draw down on the world total supply of oil, and this, for you and me, means inflation or prices hiking up.

Now, with the recent fires in Saudi Arabia, all the increases in prices for commodities can be explained away, and it would not be due to the Grand Solar Minimum or the North American crop losses or the 35% reduction of China’s crops from armyworm; it has to be the fires from the Saudi oil facilities that are making all your food prices go up.
