Starving people are easy to control with handouts of food. ~comments

[z3n]

Between all the distributor/warehouse and factory fires exacerbating shortages, and everything working toward food shortages, its really hard not to feel like this stuff is all accidental/incidental/bad-luck

[ecomcon]

They really really want to cause trouble.

[DannyTN]

On an earlier thread, another Freeper responded that it’s not just fertilizer. Union Pacific claims to be short handed.

But Black Conservative Patriot, on youtube, has a video up reporting fires at multiple food processing plants for the last 3 months all occurring on Wednesday or Thursday.

Without a sense of how many fires normally occur, can’t say if it’s something or not.

[From The Deer Stand]

More Democrat BS. Remember in November!

[Leaning Right]

I’ve looked into this. Union Pacific Railroad is cutting back on some of its rail shipments due to transportation problems. Many companies are involved.

CF is one of those companies. They are upset, and rightly so. But Union Pacific is not deliberately targeting them. And Union Pacific is not part of some evil scheme to starve the country.

[joe fonebone]

Allow me to cut through the hype and sum this up....
Union Pacific is NOT restricting the flow of fertilizer..

UP owns a vast number of their own cars, that are contracted out to carry freight.
They are overloaded, and behind schedule for their own cars.
In order to meet their contacts, they have had to restrict the number of PRIVATE cars they can haul.
The fertilizer is on PRIVATE cars.

There is no vast conspiracy here.

People who live near Amish farmers are truly fortunate.

[DesertRhino]

Almost like a plan, isn’t it?

Fidelity group and Blackrock at the root of more chaos?

[one guy in new jersey]

Stalinist tactics.

In response to people telling him the things they need the most, Brandon is using that information as a roadmap, meaning, that he is focusing specifically on denying those people those things they themselves say they need the most.

This was done with HCQ/Hydroxychloroquine.

This was done with Ivermectin.

This was done with Monoclonal Antibodies in Florida.

The tactic is satanic but effective for its intended purpose, which is to bring an entire populace to its knees

Virtually ALL the famines of the 20th Century were man-made! Get ready to tighten your belt. The New World Order is cutting your food

[Sequoyah101]

An entire article about reduced rail shipments and not a SINGLE word or line as to WHY?

Why?

[meatloaf]

The key word is “private” car. That means the UP is restricting moving laden rail cars it doesn’t own.

UP seems to have changed how they manage. They have a huge number of engines parked.

[Chode]

just another manufactured crisis...

[Wuli]

This is the beginning of the story and most reports are leaving it out, making it look like the actions of Union Pacific are merely capricious and intentionally trying to hurt farming, which does not seem to be the case:

[G Larry]

No answer to the question, "Who made this decision?"

Union Pacific did NOT make this decision on it's own and neither did Warren Buffet. (major UP Stockholder).

We need answers!!!!!

There is no rational basis or economic basis for UP to make this decision.

[G Larry]

I suspect Larry Fink (BlackRock).

[bgill]

It’s all part of the NWO plan.
