Just FYI

We don’t get wheat from Ukraine.

US wheat production will be down for 2022, maybe 10%, mostly weather related.

Try Kansas, North Dakota, Washington and Montana.

Very little wheat in Iowa or Nebraska.

All part of ‘The Plan©️’. There are MANY in, and behind the scenes in XiJinBiden’s administration that are on side with, or are a part of ‘der Führer und Reichskanzler’ Klaus Schwab’s WEF. Eliminate the ‘useless eaters’, especially those in the West, who STAND for freedom!

They, the WEF, figure that the immigrants from Africa can provide the ‘brawn’ for the hard work, while not expecting anywhere near as high a living as those in the Northern hemisphere demand. Asians historically, live in ‘top down’ countries, where those at the top ‘command’ their underlings, who generally, follow the orders given.

One need only look to PRC (Politically Repressive Canada), to see the wholesale population replacement plan, as foisted by Prime Mistake True-dolt, Schwab’s number 1 poodle!

I like the part about burning politicians homes down. Kind of a silver lining.

“When has the government ever solved anything.”

Not recently. But telling them to stop what they are doing and them ignoring us because we don’t have a fix of any nature they are going to accept is just going to have the catastrophe hit sooner. So providing a slow down for them to get voted out of power before the entire supply line goes into the toilet is one way to offer them a way to do their job in the best interest of all the people and not just them and their green group.

If you are not going to stop them, or offer a way to slow it down since you are not going to stop them, you are just inviting them to continue exactly as they are. And they don’t give one little iota how you feel as they can go at it any way they want without a way to slow it down. If you can come up with a way that doesn’t put a bunch in their panties that helps the situation you can’t outright win, then they will continue to screw you to the fence post on the inside of the corral. And there isn’t any way to force them without embarrassing them without workable compromise.

I support the incarceration of abortionists architects of the coming famine, the creation of a market to sell their body parts to the highest bidder, and the liquidation of their assets to repay their debts to society.

The US exports wheat. We don’t import it.
IF world market prices goes up we’ll probably export more to take advantage of those prices, probably causing prices to go up here as well.
The problem is for countries like Indonesia, Egypt, the PRC, etc., who DO import significant quantities of wheat. About 30% of the normal export supply has been cut off, along with supplies of fertilizer (from Russia).

Prepper Ping - Global Food Supply at risk, supply chain already is breaking down, and Washington is insulated
If you don't have diesel for trains, tractor-trailers, and local delivery box trucks, food in warehouses will never even get distributed
Increased Federal regulations have restricted our petroleum refineries ability to provide supply to the demand
Read the entire article to gain insight as to what is happening to the international, global markets

" “The war in Ukraine, extremely bizarre weather patterns, nightmarish plagues and a historic fertilizer crisis have combined to create a “perfect storm”
that isn’t going away any time soon.
As a result, the food that won’t be grown in 2022 will become an extremely severe global problem by the end of this calendar year.
Global wheat prices have already risen by more than 40 percent since the start of 2022, but this is just the beginning.
Meanwhile, we are facing unthinkable diesel fuel shortages in the United States this summer, and as you will see below there are “no plans” to increase refining capacity in this country for the foreseeable future." (Emphasis theirs)

Last week, the price of diesel fuel in the U.S. rose to an all-time record high of $5.62 a gallon, and it is only going to go higher.
The biggest reason why we are facing such a supply crunch right now
is because there are “simply too few refineries turning oil into usable fuels”… (Emphasis theirs)

"From record gasoline prices to higher airfares to fears of diesel rationing ahead, America’s runaway energy market is disquieting both US travelers and the wider economy.
But the chief driver isn’t high crude prices or even the rebound in demand: It’s simply too few refineries turning oil into usable fuels."

"Surely more refineries are being built to meet the growing demand, right? Wrong.
Mountains of regulations that have been instituted by our politicians
make it extremely difficult to build and operate a new refinery in this country."

"As a result, we are being told that “the supply squeeze is only going to get worse” for the foreseeable future…
To a very large degree, we have done this to ourselves.
And as I keep telling my readers, decades of very foolish decisions are starting to catch up with us in a major way."

"Our trucks and our trains run on diesel, and so a shortage of diesel will only make our ongoing supply chain crisis even worse."

(My Comment): If you think that the shortages are bad now, imagine what winter is going to look like .. or even 2023 ?
This years crop provides seed for next years crop.. Uh Oh !
International markets are already affected and have resulted in civil unrest, upset established governments, and rioting
Canned goods, dehydrated foods consume no need of energy for long-term food storage, .. but present problems for those who are on restricted diets
Act accordingly (!) and prepare now !

Food and diesel are much too important not to be rationed by the government.

I would rather they be hanged from the neck until dead in public, but your terms are acceptable also.
