BIG AG, WEALTH TRANSFERS AND THE GREAT RESET

       So it appears that, going into November, we're likely to see an end to Federal Food Subsidies. OMB Director Russ Vought and Elon Musk's DOGE mole 'Big Balls' Corsetine, along with House Speaker Mike Johnson have more or less eliminated any possible emergency funding for the USDA to keep such programs solvent. Vought, Johnson, and USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins are all Christian Nationalists and proponents of the Seven Mountain Mandate---the Christo-Fascist takeover of social institutions (a Reactionary version of Cultural Marxism, in other words). Not to worry, though: State Security Forces, many of whom were hired with fat signing bonuses, will still be well-fed and well-paid, just like they always are in authoritarian regimes. They'll be ready to put down any food riots, which is just the pretext that the Administration wants for invoking the Insurrection Act.

        The mass roundups of immigrants and dissidents; the tariffs targeting American farmers and food production; the bailout of WEF member and Argentine strongman Javier Milei are part of the same program. Argentina is about a year ahead of where we're planned to be. Milei has spoken at US 'Conservative' events like CPAC and his wealth-transfers in Argentina were admired by Elon Musk and other American Oligarchs.

        One of the first things that Milei did was eliminating all of Argentina's farm subsidies and turn over their functions to Globalist Agricultural Combines. The recent bailout that the White House gave to Argentina didn't help Argentine farmers in the least: it bailed out Big Ag and the Banking Cartels who funded their projects there. Meanwhile, American farms continue declining while predatory corporations swoop in and take over from independent farmers. It's basically an extension of the power-grabs initiated during the Scamdemic; and with a crony of Bill Gates now running the Department of the Interior, Federal Lands are also getting thrown into the mix. 

          The SNAP program, too, is administered through the USDA and despite decades of corruption and Corporate Outsourcing, it is still tied to funding farm subsidies. The real blow is aimed at Americans who have been frozen out society and into poverty by previous wealth-transfers and whom the Elites consider useless eaters and unnecessary burdens on society. Last month, the USDA ended its periodic reports on Food Insecurity, claiming it was Liberal Propaganda; although in fairness, nobody in the Government ever acted on such reports anyway. 

         In the kind of culture that American society has degenerated into, Might Makes Right has become the new Golden Rule. The ethos of this sort of Social Darwinism has permeated much of our Culture including the Churches. In the past, Christian Churches in the United States worked to eliminate poverty. Today, the general tendency is to equate wealth with virtue and poverty with sinfulness: regardless of how any of these circumstances came about. 

       The fact that we have this number of Americans on SNAP is a disgrace; but it is disgraceful precisely because our supposedly superior economic system has failed. The Free Market is a system designed for a moral people: we however have become a nation of bullies, grifters, and narcissists where selfishness is considered being realistic and gratuitous cruelty is seen as a sign of strong leadership. Thus, it has become a system of mutual exploitation. Needless to say, under such circumstances, nepotism, backstabbing, and ruthlessness are highly prized qualifications; merit and character, not so much. As Klaus Schwab said: "In the Postmodern Economy, it's not the big fish who eat the little fish. It's the fast fish who eat the slow fish."

     What we've evolved into economically is essentially the very sorts of abuses that we once opposed: the Alpha Superman of the Nazis and the Party System of Social Credit in some Communist States describe our economy as much as it did their's. Let's look at a sampling of some statements from the Top 1%:

     Here's what our Head-of-State had to say to military commanders recently about those who might be conflicted over being tasked with carrying out illegal orders:

    “If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future.” 

    Kevin O'Leary, who sells software to schools and companies to screen admissions and hiring said this about those who protest Israel:

     “It’s happening right now as we speak. I’m just one firm doing this. When we dig deep into the dark web for your background, I’ll see you. We don’t even consider that person...If your passion for a cause is more important than your future career, go for it. I’m not saying you shouldn’t do that. I think you should think about your future. Think about your career. Think about your personal brand. Think about all the opportunities you’ll never know that you missed. You’ll never know why you didn’t get that loan, or that mortgage, or that job, or get that board seat.”

     Safra Catz, an executive with WEF Startegic Partner Oracle---which just took over TikTok--- had this to say on the same subject:

   "When you connect with Oracle you understand that we are committed to the U.S. and Israel. We are not flexible regarding our mission, and our commitment to Israel is second to none. This is a free world and I love my employees, but if they don't agree with our mission to support the State of Israel then maybe we aren't the right company for them."

     Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, bragged in 2021 that his organization was enforcing Global Sustainability and Gender-Equality initiatives regardless of any laws:

     "We believe that when a company is not effectively addressing a material issue, its directors should be held accountable. Last year BlackRock voted against or withheld votes from 4,800 directors at 2,700 different companies. Where we feel companies and boards are not producing effective sustainability disclosures or implementing frameworks for managing these issues, we will hold board members accountable."

     This is the New Right's idea of a Free Market. Add onto all of this the various Speech Codes, enforced Political Correctness, and whatever other whims these kooks come up with and we see that only the most degraded or desperate people could tolerate working under these kinds of conditions. Servility and self-abnegation are what these would-be Supermen demand though, as seen in the above quotations. How is this any different from the sort of 'job security' we find under totalitarian states?

     As we move into the Accelerationist Phase of the Great Reset, the drive to stamp out independent businesses and farms---which were already contracting as the economic noose tightened around them---is going into overdrive. The sad fact is that we got to this point by buying into the same philosophy now being used to entrap us even further. As long as Americans want to cling to the fantasy that Survival of the Fittest is a worthy social (and increasingly, a spiritual) goal, we will go onto the Great Reset, letting the unfit and undesirables fall by the wayside. 

     

     

      

      

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

      An interesting article appeared this weekend in the Murdoch-owned New York Post. The USDA, HHS, and DOGE apparently are working with members of the Uniparty in Congress to put restrictions on recipients of Food Stamps (EBT/SNAP). 

    “President Trump has been given a mandate by the majority of Americans to Make America Healthy Again, and those in his administration, like RFK Jr. and Senator Marco Rubio, have directly advocated for eliminating junk food purchases with SNAP,” Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK), who is leading 'The Healthy SNAP Act,' told Fox News Digital.

    On the surface, this idea has some merit; although it's difficult to reconcile what amounts to top-down Social Engineering with Conservatism. It's also a bit unsettling that, with the USDA on the hook to Bill Gates and DOGE under the thumb of Klaus Schwab, such people are going to be deciding what is acceptable food and what isn't.

    The real problem with choices made under the Food Stamp Program is that price-gouging by Big Ag makes healthier food choices unaffordable. Contrary to what many 'Conservatives' seem to imagine, Food Stamps aren't a blank check that recipients use to eat better than non-recipients. According to the article itself, the average SNAP recipient receives $211.93 per month. That's seven dollars a day that they have to spend on food. Considering that a pound of ground beef and a gallon of milk are often over that amount, and whole-grain bread and eggs are fairly close to that, bad food choices are simply being made because it's cheaper. 

    Not only does the public suffer from Big Ag's price-gouging, the proposed tariffs on net agricultural exporters like Canada, Mexico, and China are going to create both more scarcity of prime agricultural products as well as higher prices. In other words, so far from 'protecting public health' this is simply another wealth-transfer scheme. Of course, too, WEF people---who currently dominate the Republican Party---will offer their healthier alternatives and if we don't see the poor outright required to purchase such products, they will be forced to by sheer economic necessity.

      If these fake Conservatives were really concerned about what they claim, they would enforce and enact laws on producers ensuring better standards. They would enforce anti-trust laws against Agricultural Combines and ensure that independent farmers had some level of competition. Instead, though, we've had regulatory agencies gutted of any oversight and Wall Street billionaires and WEF Oligarchs put in charge of policy. The WEF Agenda is fairly clear; by 2030, Americans will have just as much to eat as the Oligarchy thinks necessary to squeeze the maximum production out of them at minimal cost to the Elites. This is to be expected from a political movement which holds up Mediaeval Europe as the ideal society.

    The way to reduce dependence on SNAP and encourage healthier eating choices is to ensure that healthier foods are affordable. The Republicans are doing a replay here of Obamacare---which instead of making healthcare affordable and accessible enriched and empowered the same Plutocrats who want to do for our food supply what they've done for healthcare. Affordability would actually empower consumers, but that isn't what the Uniparty wants. 

    Of course, there's no explaining any of this to the True Believers. When the WEF reaches its goals in 2030 and it takes a six-figure yearly income to buy meat, milk, and bread, you can bet we'll be reading articles on how based and Red Pilled eating the ersatz alternatives really are, or how we should lift ourselves by our bootstraps and how starvation and malnutrition are lifestyle choices. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Robber Barons will go on rioting in the spoils and laughing in their sleeves at the simpletons who empower them. 

     

     

IMAGINE IF YOU WILL...

        Imagine for a moment that the Democrats had 'won' the 2024 Elections and Kamala immediately had proceeded to elevate a henchman of George Soros and homo-rights activist to the Treasury Department; who then proceeded to open the Department to a WEF Young Global Leader and seized control of agencies investigating his Wall Street cronies. Imagine if Kamala had blocked background checks to potential employees of government agencies, fired all of the departmental inspectors-general, and began systematic purges of Civil Service to appoint Party loyalists. 

      Imagine if Kamala's Pentagon boss banned media outlets from press conferences and unilaterally suspended the 1878 Posse Comitatus law (which was put into effect by an actual Conservative Republican) and gave the military internal police duties. 

      Imagine if Kamala's Intel Director appointee was a WEF Young Global Leader and her FBI appointee was a former Obama Intel Operative, both of whom assured the Senate that they would support no clemency for Edward Snowden and fully backed Government Domestic Espionage programs. 

     Imagine if Kamala had created new positions to direct Federal spending without Congressional approval, deregulate Cryptocurrencies without regulatory oversight, and fund an initiative to create databases on all Americans. 

    Imagine if Kamala had turned over the Interior and Agriculture Departments to stooges of Bill Gates, again with no regulatory oversight involved. 

    Imagine if Kamala had declared a State of National Emergency her first day in and began issuing Executive Orders for mass-raids, building concentration camps, sealing borders, and contact-tracing and mass-registrations. 

    If all of these things had happened, do we suppose that there would be nothing but slobbering praise coming from the so-called 'Alternative Media?' Or would we would we be hearing 24/7 outrage over what those Commie Liberals were doing?

   I think that we know the answer to those questions. The question that arises now is: Are we going to stop looking the other way and start standing for the Constitution and self-government again?

ANOTHER STUDY FINDS UNSAFE ELEMENTS IN FOOD SUPPLY

      Robert Kennedy's organization, Children's Health Defense Network, which previously exposed the potential harmful chemicals being pushed by the Corporate Oligarchs with no Government oversight, has published the results of another study which shows that many products consumed by Americans is laced heavily with the chemical compound, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate. This particular compound is allegedly used as a leaving agent and stabilizer in baked goods and is used widely as well in processed cheese. It has been linked to reproductive damage in both males and females. 

    "The prevalence of sodium aluminum phosphate in school lunches and fast food items, such as pizza dough and hamburger buns, is concerning," Dr. Naomi Wolf said. "This is what your child is eating. This is what you are putting inside your body when you eat muffins, fast food, hamburger buns, frozen pizza, cereals and almost any kind of processed baked good.”

    Of course, the typical American parent of today is a lot more concerned with new and more potent strains of recreational marijuana than about whatever his kids might be eating at school. Despite the fact that another recent study showed that nearly one-third of American girls in their teens and twenties consider themselves bisexual, and studies showing that the average 20-year old male today has lower testosterone levels than 70-year old men had as recently as the 1980s, or that even the UN has warned our health agencies about our declining fertility rates, or that we've hit rock-bottom among Developed Nations in infant mortality, nobody seems to have noticed that maybe our young people are in trouble. Just because gender dysphoria is running rampant and over half of young adult men are living at home and not even seeking a relationship, it doesn't seem to have occurred to anybody that something may be wrong.

   Fertility issues and our looming demographic crisis are not even on the radar-screen of any major politicians this year, which is unsurprising. The Corporate Oligarchs are pursuing a depopulation agenda, and the USDA---which should be regulating food supplies---is wholly captured by interests connected with the Great Reset, and has been for some time. As is with the current moral philosophy of the United States, most parents want a top-down solution, because, after all it takes a village; and so far the Controlled Opposition has responded by banning and clamping down on social media outlets (so younger people have even fewer opportunities to meet); and restricting immigration because that, supposedly, is tainting our national blood---which doesn't seem especially healthy to begin with. 

     Sodium Aluminum Phosphate was last reviewed by the FDA in 1977, which is roughly how long it's been since the US has had an Agricultural Department not controlled by Big Ag or Big Pharma. It's use has been banned in several other countries, most notably Scandinavia. A Democrat Congresswoman from Illinois recently proposed a review of the chemical's use, which is unlikely to see the light of day given the Corporate stranglehold that Big Ag has over the GOP leadership, or the influence of woke NGOs seizing American farmlands have over the Democrats. 

    The important thing that we as individuals can do is be aware of these potentially harmful additives, what the objectives of the people promoting them are, and take appropriate precautions. No top-down solution is likely forthcoming; but sadly, most Americans will continue on blissful ignorance while our young people sink further into degeneracy and decay. 

US BEEF SUPPLY CONTINUES TO DECLINE AS PRICES SOAR

    While weekend election-year dramas were focusing on debates on how we best can defend our borders against migrant farm-workers, how we can defend BlackRock's shipping interests in the Red Sea, and whom Taylor Swift might endorse for President, the USDA quietly slipped another rather embarrassing report under the media radar screen. It seems that American beef cattle production has reached a 73-year low: which most Americans probably noticed (if they weren't too stoned during shopping) at their local supermarkets. That is, for those who still have a local supermarket in Exceptional America. 

   These numbers need to be taken in some context. The US population in 1950 was about half of what it is today, so the smaller herd size then didn't have nearly the impact on prices from the demand-side that it has now.

    Also, inflation rates have grown by over 1000% since then, while the adjusted income levels for all of us little people has been stagnated for over five decades. 

     While all of this has been a benefit to Agribusiness consortia and the financial oligarchies funding them, it hasn't helped the American public too much. Because of these high prices, Americans often settle for lower-quality, less-healthy substitutes, which is reflected in our soaring obesity, type 2 diabetes, and infertility rates as well as our declining life expectancy rates. 

   Nobody is really bringing up any of these rather inconvenient issues during our biennial electoral circuses, although the Controlled Opposition will no doubt find some way to blame it all on immigrants leeching off the Food Stamp Program or the Chinese buying up American farmland. Given the millions that Big Ag spends on lobbying and that the majority of that spending lines GOP pockets, it's doubtful that anybody on the Right will have much to say about either Big Ag's or High Finance's hands in all of this price-gouging. 

   It is also highly likely that the influence of gangs of Corporate Crooks like the World Economic Forum will be dismissed as tin-foil hat conspiracy theories, even though the Commercial Oligarchs there have made no secret of their belief that there are too many useless eaters on the planet and indeed, fully 34 of the WEF's Elite Top 100 Strategic Partners are engaged in the Agribusiness Industry. Agribusiness giant Nestle is well-represented on the WEF Board of Trustees: in fact, the likely successor to Father Klaus when he goes the way of all flesh is the former CEO of Nestle, who not only believes that food chains should be in the hands of a few moneyed elites, but that water supplies should be as well. The Biden/Harris Junta has been reducing farmland in accordance with WEF goals and none of this has been challenged by Republicans in any way.

   But let's go on believing instead that holding our noses and voting those evil Democrats out in November magically will fix everything. McDonald's will have 15-cent hamburgers again and all of their employees will be native-born Americans once the Republicans are back in charge. The Republicans won't do stupid things like imposing bogus Green Energy schemes that drive up food prices, right?

       The best thing that most of us can do is organize campaigns like people doing abroad to buy local or from companies tied as little as possible to Big Ag. Network with local farmers and people who garden and raise their own food. Ignore the bloviating coming from both parties because neither have any solutions: in fact, everything they propose is counterproductive to our food security or public health. The fact that Marijuana is one of America's leading cash crops today and that most Americans have no idea how food is even produced shows about how much we can count on voting our way out of this. 

   

    

MYSTERY MEAT AND PLASTIC BANANAS

   A project funded in part by the intrepid Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to assess the quality of the garbage fed American schoolchildren USDA School Lunch Program published its results this weekend. I think that most of us realize that foods served in public schools is substandard is no surprise (well, except to Conservative and Churchian parents who were doubtless as unaware of school lunch quality as they claim to have been about CRT, and Drag Queen Story Hours). 

  The project's actual findings however were probably worse than most of us suspected. 

    "Of the 43 school items tested, 95.3%, had detectable levels of glyphosate weed killer, the most widely used herbicide in the world, a known carcinogen."

   "100% of the wheat products were positive with glyphosate, averaging 42.09 ng/g."

   "29 different types of pesticides were present in 74% of the school lunches." 

    "Thiabendazole, an immune suppressant, was found in 27.9% of the samples." 

    "Piperonal Butoxide, a developmental toxin that causes birth defects and neurodevelopment disruptions, was in 41% of the samples." 

   "4 veterinary drugs and hormones were found in 9 school lunch samples at levels up to 130.76 ng/g."

   "100% of the school lunch samples contained heavy metals at levels up to 6,293 X higher than the EPA’s maximum levels allowed in drinking water."

   "The majority of the samples was abysmally low in nutrients."

   One is tempted to say that is inexcusable, but that phrase has become more or less the definition of American Public Schools in general. Our schools are rat's-nests of corruption, abject failures in their alleged purposes of educating anybody; bullying, violence, and child-abuse are routinely perpetrated by students and school employees alike, drugs are dished out like candy; perverted social workers and thuggish administrators and faculty rule with an iron fist---in short, they are more like prisons than anything else---and apparently the food is just as bad. That shouldn't be surprising since the Corporate monopolies who provide school lunches also cater to the Prison-Industrial Complex. 

     American parents of today, of course, could care less about any of this. However, this wasn't always the case. When President Truman signed the National School Lunch Act into law in 1946, Corporate profiteers and shady NGOs were actually prohibited from pushing their tentacles into the program. Food was purchased by brokers from the US Department of Agriculture. The restrictions were loosened somewhat in the 1970s and 1980s, but even by the end of the Reagan Administration, only 4% of school districts outsourced to private contractors. 

    Then came the 'deregulation' craze of the 1990s. Clinton/Gore Neoliberalism pushed the 'Private-Public Partnership' philosophy to the hilt---fully aided and abetted by RINOs in control of Congress. Alongside of that came Hillary Clinton's It Takes a Village philosophy of abdicating parental responsibilities---fully aided and abetted by American parents. Since that time, American parents have looked upon the public schools as a subsidized babysitting service. The only debate has been whether or not schools would be run under the privatized Socialist model or the State Socialist model. The recent fusion of 'woke' Corporatism and the Bureaucratic State has resolved that debate for all intents and purposes. 

   Regulatory Capture of the USDA was observed as early as 1997 and since then the School Lunch Program has been wholly under the thumb of Big Agricultural interests. People, for example, like those running the Gates Foundation which is swallowing up American farmland and promoting global depopulation are major donors to USDA programs. Tom Vilsack, the Junta's current Minister of Agriculture, served under Obama and worked as a Big Ag lobbyist during the Trump years. In fact, Vilsack's top political donors are notoriously short of farmers, but dominated by PACs, lobbyists, and real-estate moguls like Warren Buffett, a WEF linchpin and co-chair of the aforementioned Gates Foundation.

   During Obama's term, Vilsack famously championed the use of beef by-products in public schools. Organic Insider notes that Vilsack's other noteworthy policies were:

     Vilsack's nomination by the Junta, incidentally, was supported by 44 Republican Senators.
       

    Today, American school lunch programs are dominated by three supranational Corporate cartels: the Compass Group, Aramark, and Sodexo---two of which are foreign-owned, and all three of which have very dubious reputations. In fact, their catalog of crimes is so blatant that even Wikipedia called them out here, here, and here. The Compass CEO responsible for most of the company's illegal activities died under suspicious circumstances in 2017, but even that hasn't affected their status as an industry leader. Aramark's CEO John Zillmer is on the Board of Directors of the Gates Foundation-funded Ecolab, which in turn is also a major Government contractor.

  All three of these contractors are also heavily tied to US Agribusiness interests, specifically Kraft Foods and Tyson Foods, the latter of which has managed to rack up an ever greater track-record of Corporate malfeasance than the three previously mentioned combined. Tyson is a member of the World Economic Forum, and closely connected politically with the Clinton Family. (One of Tyson's top lobbyists in DC is former Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas). The Junta's Ambassador to the WEF, John Kerry, and WEF Oligarch Warren Buffett are major stakeholders in Kraft Foods. Republican Senators John Hoeven and Roy Blunt own about a quarter-million dollars in Kraft stock. 

   According to the USDA's own numbers, the food served in 87% of public, non-charter schools in 2014-15 offered branded foods for à la carte purchase during meal times, and vending machines were available in 30% of all schools (including 71% of high schools). It's hardly any accident that childhood obesity rates have skyrocketed since the phony 'deregulation' of the 90s as fast as toxicity levels in school lunches have. 

   As might be expected, the quality of food purchased by contractors is not an especially high priority. In fact, their general practice is to purchase unsalable processed foods which barely meet standards for consumption at pennies on the dollar, and then palm them off on public schools for a fat government subsidy. They will never be held to account for these practices either. Besides their control of the USDA, the 'Big Three' have a sizable battery of Beltway lobbyists---the overwhelming majority of whom are revolving-door former federal officials. 

  Ultimately, though, the responsibility falls upon American parents who have looked the other way and allowed this situation to happen. They can plead ignorance all they want to, but increasing obesity rates and sicknesses---not to mention that their kids probably complained about the food more than once---hardly could have escaped their notice. If they'd paid as much attention to their children's diets as they have checking their stock-returns and the newest strains of recreational drugs, maybe this wouldn't have happened. I feel sad for the children and teens caught in these public-school hells, but for their parents, I feel no sympathy whatsoever. 

   Our public schools are a disaster, and it is another disaster of the American people's own making. It's become impossible anymore to listen to pundits on the Right spouting off about parenting as though their own hypocrisy and duplicity had nothing to do with our failed schools and broken homes. One recalls, during the Scamdemic, it was the Conservatives---not the Liberal Left---who were demanding the loudest to reopen these failed institutions. Recall also at that time, schools were demanding mandatory masking and Loyalty Vaxxes.

  In fact, 2022 election polls show that family and education are not even on Conservative voters' list of priorities. As for the Democrats, the 'right' to kill unborn babies is their top concern. Saving the same lives is a distant third priority among the so-called Right: behind making more money and scapegoating immigrants. Tell us all again that we're the Party of Principle standing for faith, family, and freedom. Even if we could imagine a fair election at this point I don't believe that the Right deserves to win. Those who disregard the welfare of their own families can't be trusted with the welfare of a nation. 

   

   

   

LIBERAL MEATHEADS TO DESIGN YOUR DINNERS

    While America's Conservative leadership has been busy whooping it up this month with their Leftist colleagues---celebrating 'Pride Month' and our new Memorial and Independence days---the social termites behind the Great Reset were busy on the job. Friend of the blog Elle1978 reported that the World Health Organization issued a manifesto listing meat consumption as a "proven cause of cancer." The once-venerable international organization has been toying with the classification since 2014, and apparently now feels that the payoffs were high enough the science was settled on this most important issue. The fact that almost half of WHO's annual budget is funded by WEF-connected organizations and governments is probably only a coincidence, right?

   The World Economic Forum has made no secret of its plans for denying meat to the peasantry. Minimizing meat consumption (for us non-Elites) is part of their expressed goals to achieve by 2030. The WHO proclamation is a pseudo-scientific pretext for governments to impose the Elites' agenda. If anyone doubts that this could happen, just think back to what WHO's declaration that an influenza outbreak was a global pandemic accomplished.

   In spite of the fact that meat products are becoming increasingly scarce and more costly, the average Ameroboob---including those on the Right---are in denial that the Great Reset is real; and that these WEF scum intend to do exactly what they say. The California Supreme Court ruled (coincidentally on the same day that the WHO pronouncement came out) that activists' efforts to mandate meat products be given warning labels can proceed. This follows another California decision mandating restrictions on pork farmers. Oregon and Colorado have initiatives underway to ban slaughterhouses and processing plants. 

    In case anyone believes that the average American is too intelligent to fall for these scams consider the findings of several polls:

"An online survey commissioned by the Innovation Center of U.S. Dairy last year found a frighteningly low level of agricultural literacy among Americans: 16 million people thought that chocolate milk comes from brown cows, 40% of California 4th, 5th and 6th graders didn't know that hamburgers come from cows, orange juice was the nation's most popular "fruit," and french fries and potato chips were the nation's most popular "vegetables.”

"The 2017 Michigan State University Food Literacy Poll also exposed an overwhelming disconnect between Americans and their food. The question, “How often do you seek information about where your food was grown and how it was produced?” exposed that 35% of the people surveyed rarely look into where their food comes from, and 13% never do."

Although probably unsurprisingly, a survey conducted by the Center for Food Integrity also found that 59% of Ameroboobs imagine that they "have all the information necessary to make informed decisions." That same study found that only 30% believe that farmers take care of the environment and "80% moderately or strongly agree that they are more concerned about global warming and climate change than they were a year ago."

Actual farmers, however, who are probably in the best position to know state:

"In 2011,two national surveys by the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance’s (USFRA) Foods Dialogues Project collected data on opinions, attitudes and questions consumers and farmers and ranchers have about the current and future state of how food is grown and raised in the U.S.; the results revealed that “lack of access to information, as well as no interest or passion for the topic, have divided consumer opinion on the direction of agriculture.”When asked about their impressions of consumers, 86% of farmers and ranchers responded that “the average consumer has little to no knowledge about modern farming and ranching,” and 58% felt that “consumers have a completely inaccurate perception of farming and ranching.” Their top priorities for what they want consumers to better understand are: 1) the effect of pesticides, fertilizers and antibiotics on food, 2) where food comes from in general, 3) proper care of livestock and poultry, 4) the effect of government regulations on farming and ranching, and 5) the economic value of agriculture."

Somehow I have a feeling that consumers of marijuana are much more knowledgeable when it comes to that particular agricultural product, but I digress.

How did America reach this level of stupidity? Jeff Bezos' own news outlet, The Washington Post actually gave us a clue following one of the studies mentioned above:

"The United States Department of Agriculture, or USDA, did a study in the early 1990s. They found that nearly 1 in 5 adults did not know that hamburgers are made from beef. Many more were not familiar with the basic facts about farming. Kids aren't learning about where food comes from, and experts in agricultural education do not think much has changed since the 1990s. "At the end of the day, it's an exposure issue," said Cecily Upton. Upton is the co-founder of the nonprofit FoodCorps. The group brings agricultural and nutrition education into elementary schools. Upton says kids don't learn in school where food comes from before it gets to the store. "A team of researchers interviewed fourth-fifth- and sixth-graders at a school in a California city. More than half of those students didn't know pickles were cucumbers. They did not know that onions and lettuce were plants. About 4 in 10 students didn't know that hamburgers came from cows. And 3 in 10 didn't know that cheese is made from milk."

So...we've known about this problem since the 1990s? The USDA Study that Bezos' outfit cites was conducted in 1993. A child entering Kindergarten that year would be 33 years old now---and the public schools were failing even back then. Let that thought sink in, and let the Conservatives who are now clutching their bow-ties in pious horror over shifting cultural attitudes explain to all of us where they've been all those years.

The Junta, meanwhile, has outlined its intention to seize 18% of private land by 2030. That this is intended to be agricultural lands---primarily ranch lands---is evident from the fact that the USDA is in charge of the program. From the USDA website (April 21st):

   "Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced today that USDA will open enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) with higher payment rates, new incentives, and a more targeted focus on the program’s role in climate change mitigation...In 2021, CRP is capped at 25 million acres, and currently 20.8 million acres are enrolled. Furthermore, the cap will gradually increase to 27 million acres by 2023. To help increase producer interest and enrollment, FSA is:

• Adjusting soil rental rates. This enables additional flexibility for rate adjustments, including a possible increase in rates where appropriate.
• Increasing payments for Practice Incentives from 20% to 50%. This incentive for continuous CRP practices is based on the cost of establishment and is in addition to cost share payments.
• Increasing payments for water quality practices. Rates are increasing from 10% to 20% for certain water quality benefiting practices available through the CRP continuous signup, such as grassed waterways, riparian buffers, and filter strips.
• Establishing a CRP Grassland minimum rental rate. This benefits more than 1,300 counties with rates currently below the minimum."

Which essentially means that the Regime intends to phase out water and grazing rights while driving enough ranchers into bankruptcy to be able to seize their land. Vilsack pursued a similar policy when he worked for the Obama Administration---but in spite of this, 44 of 50 Republican Senators voted for Vilsack's confirmation as USDA head. With the exception of Ted Cruz, not one Republican Senator from the major ranching States in the West voted against Vilsack's nomination.

It probably wouldn't have mattered anyway. Once the Regime really starts ramping up its restrictions on meat, a plurality of Americans will be stupid enough to believe it's for their own good and the majority hasn't either the moral will or enough self-respect left to resist. The rest of us expect a new normal of meat shortages, price inflation, and considerable shaming for questioning the settled science. We're going back to those wonderful days of Feudalism when a roast chicken was a holiday meal for the peasants. The Elites in their castles, however, will have steak and filet mignon as a regular course.

But there are things that the rest of us can do. Disengage, disunite, disconnect from the box-store supermarkets as much as possible. Now is the time to research independent and local farmers who can effect deliveries, if possible. Some in the rural areas may be inclined to learn some hunting and fishing skills; as well as processing fresh meats. It's a fairly safe bet that shortages of meat will also lead to scarcity of meat by-products like eggs and dairy foods, so knowing your local farmer is a really good plan. There are plenty (for now) forums on the Web serving the farming community which would be a good place to start.

THE PORK BARREL PROJECT OF 2021

     Well, there's some good news and some bad news across the news wires this weekend. The good news is that unofficial polls---at least according to Conservative headlines in the news feeds---show that Republicans are gaining ground and pose a significant threat for taking back Congress in 2022.

   

    A little levity doesn't hurt; since the bad news is well, pretty bad. Most of us, including the now millions reduced to poverty during the recent Revolution, have noticed heavy inflation in food prices. Some of us have also noticed that certain commodities are either missing or not quite as abundant on grocery shelves as they used to be. This seems to be especially true in the meat departments. It has now been quietly announced that the pork industry is in some serious trouble. 

   It isn't only a matter of pork; all meat production is badly crippled right now. Shortly before being forced out of office, the Trump Administration produced a final USDA Report on commodities and price inflation for 2020: "The largest price increases were for meat categories: beef and veal prices increased by 9.6 percent, pork prices by 6.3 percent, and poultry prices by 5.6 percent." The Beef Industry was harder hit than most by the Scam-demic perpetrators; we're certain though that the fact that the largest beef producer in America was strongly pro-Trump was just a coincidence and that he wasn't being intentionally targeted by the Insurgents or anything. 

   Most meat-industry experts are rather naively clinging to the belief that supply and demand is going to stabilize in 2021. If we actually still had a Free Enterprise System operational in the United States, I would tend to agree. However, Crony-Capitalism and the Activist Government they control are working hard to ensure that Americans drastically reduce meat production and consumption. The State of California is deliberately targeting the pork industry and on Friday, our nominal Head-of-State called in a series of Executive Orders aimed at vastly restricting agricultural land use. The Junta's plan is to take 30% of American lands out of private use or control---which would have a devastating effect on industries like beef and sheep farming, where grazing and water access is essential. 

   This is neither a 'supply-and-demand' nor a 'conservation' issue. These measures are being driven by the Junta's masters in the Financial Elite.

   For those inclined to snort at the idea of a 'Great Reset' being orchestrated by international crooks at the World Economic Forum (in spite of the fact that they openly publicize their intentions), we would like to call attention that Biden referred in his plan to the "30 by 30 Program", an idea that the WEF has been pushing for at least three years. And note that beyond 2030, the thugs in Davos want "an additional 20% to be maintained or restored to a natural state and designated as climate stabilization areas." 

   These WEF clowns are also quite open about their intentions to wipe out meat production. Instead, they are promoting laboratory-invented meat substitutes (which, just coincidentally of course, WEF members have financial interests in developing).

   

      Some skeptics might ask the question why the Agribusiness Cartels---which are another hugely powerful special interest---would go along with this plan since meat accounts for a significant portion of their industry. The answer is simple. Plant-based products, including synthetic meats, are cheaper to produce and require far less overhead. The type of lab-produced synthetic meats that Schwab is promoting currently are expensive, but mass-production would lower the production cost considerably. Of course, it wouldn't be any cheaper in the stores than natural meat, thus the profit-margins for the stakeholder capitalists would rise while the consumer sees no benefit. 

     Currently, meat substitutes are available from more or less natural sources as well, but there is little demand for those, and high demand for natural meat. The Crony-Capitalist solution is an easy one: simply eliminate the supply of one commodity and the demand problem is solved. If you want real meat in the future, you'll have to get your shotgun and provide your own---assuming that the Oligarchs still allow us to own guns and permit humans to enter 'green spaces'. Just like the good days in the Middle Ages when poachers got hung for killing the King's deer. 

     All of this propaganda is being sold to fools and NPCs under the pretense of protecting the environment. It's been done before. Recall how easily Angloboobs fell for anti-tobacco propaganda and rolled over for sugar taxes, and contrived price inflation for coffee. They bought into the propaganda that alcoholic beverages like beer isn't a foodstuff and must be heavily taxed and regulated. The Elites have been calling for, and in some localities implemented, taxes, surcharges, and bans on trans-fats. The Obama Administration seriously considered once a 20% federal tax on whatever products they (and the vested interests) determined were 'junk foods.' Angloboobs have been accepting artificial inflation in other necessities like gasoline prices ever since the staged OPEC Oil Embargo in 1973, and the obscene cost of housing. It's not at all a difficult matter to rip off anyone in the English-speaking world. In fact, in the U.S. at least, just convince them it's for the good of everybody and people part with dollars voluntarily. It's the same tactic that street bums have employed successfully for years. 

   In the case of street bums, they ask for money for food and shelter, then typically run to the nearest drug pusher once they're paid off. Later that night, they'll thank you by dropping by your house and stealing your lawn mower to pawn it and buy more drugs. In the case of the Elites, they want your tax money to 'improve the world' then riot in the spoils and thank you by taking your Liberty. In reality, both types are bums and social parasites. The only difference is that the street bum wants the Free Lunch while the Elites want the $500-a-Plate Exclusive. 

  It's quite a change from the Trump Administration, when a series of foreign trade deals and domestic deregulation of farmlands were causing a huge expansion in the agricultural sector, including price deflation and more consumer choice. But it was Orange Man Bad and now we can expect a 'New Normal' of food shortages, price inflation, and bureaucrats deciding what we should eat. 

WHACKO LEFT GNASHES TEETH AT TRUMP'S COLUMBUS DAY TRIUMPHS

   Today is Columbus Day, of course. Columbus is the last dead white male to have a national holiday named for him; so the Leftist Whackos have been active during the last decade to efface his memory. Columbus also brought Western Civilization and Culture to the Americas, which is another reason he's despised by fake Indians like Pocahontas Warren and other members of the Cigar Store Tribe. 

  One of the greatest innovations that Europeans brought to America was Agricultural Science. As primitive as it was in the late 15th Century, it was still a vast improvement over the hunter-gather systems practiced by the natives. But even today, agriculture is a significant economic pursuit of the American Indians. In fact, agriculture has been expanding quite rapidly over the last decade; and will probably expand even further as the Trump Administration has expanded Indian lands and begun infrastructure reform on Reservations. According to the USDA's last Agricultural Census (2012), American Indians owned nearly 40,000 farms totaling around 51,000,000 acres producing nearly $2 billion in agricultural goods annually.

   Indian farmers---as well as farmers generally---received a huge boon just before the Columbus Day Holiday when President Trump and Chinese Vice-President Liu announced a massive agricultural trade-deal which will expand American exports to China some 500 to 600 percent. According to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, this agricultural deal exceeds the largest one in history by 250%.

   Thus, while the Chinese will be consuming more American beef and pork, the Corporate Media and other Leftist poltroons are eating crow. So much for all their talk about 'Trade Wars' with China---which was never anything but a myth anyway. Just as we predicted too, the threatened tariffs will not happen. Neither side really wants a Trade War; tariffs are something like the economic equivalent of Mutually-Assured Destruction. The fact that both countries can wipe out each others' economies insures negotiations. 

   Stung by all of these developments, the Media Jackals tried to divert attention from them at the Press Conference with questions like:

   "Mr. President, on that point, can you assure that American people that you did not bring up Joe Biden in these negotiations; that you have not brought up that with the Chinese?"
    
  "Mr. President, how do you assure the American people that this deal, over the next three, four, five weeks, won’t fall apart as it’s being papered?"

 "Did you tell them anything about the impeachment process and how that might affect your ability to complete this deal?"

   Somehow, though, with the Agricultural Sector expanding at an exponential rate, it's doubtful that the media pea-shooting is going to amount to much with American farmers. Or, for that matter with American Indians. With Trump, the Indians get economic boosts, crime and pollution cleaned up on Indian lands, and better infrastructure. With the Liberals, they get 'Indigenous Peoples' Day' on the calendar. There is a difference.
