The World Has a New Weapon: It's Called 'Fertilizer'

India's urea allows Sri Lankan farmers to plant in the May-August season and arrives at a time of critical need. The country was spending about $400 million annually to import fertilizer, but had not been able to make purchases recently due to the lack of foreign exchange. The government in March 2021 banned chemical fertilizer to conserve depleted currency reserves.

How a fertilizer ban became a part of Sri Lanka’s Crisis

I admit my ignorance. What keeps the US or Brazil, for example, from producing all the fertilizer it needs, from its own resources?

Hunger as a military tactic is nothing new

Well ratings for CNN, MSNBC, the J6 hearings, keep falling. We have lots of fertilizer coming out of them, but nobody is paying attention to it.

Florida has the nations largest phosphate deposits but the envirowhackos are calling for a cessation of mining due to algal blooms in local waters.

We’re going to have a self-inflicted famine.

The most effective weapons in the world are food, energy and fertilizer. We live in a new bipolar world. The western globalists are wrecking their economies to divest themselves of most their capacity to produce all three. The BRICKS+ side attracts the world’s most prolific producers of all three. I wonder who’ll dominate?

I’m just guessing but it could be US taxes, environmental laws, regulations, corporate hostility, cheap overseas labor and stuff.

it ordered **only** organic fertilizer could be used. It was part of the Green mind grope.

[silent majority rising]

The fertilizer capitol of the world is Washington D.C. The media are the largest spreaders of that fertilizer.

“We’re going to have a self-inflicted famine.”

Perhaps inflicted by the 50% who support the CPUSA/’Rats.

The EPA.

Fertilize the fields with wood chipped envirowhackos

Biden banning natural gas fracking. Phosphate mines shut down and phosphate regs.

The price of energy is the cause.
Haber-Bosch Process is the only way known to break N2 triple bond and then reform it to NH3.
This is why after a big lightning storm, the grass and trees look so green.
Lightning has enough energy to break the N2 bond.

Biden's greenies are shutting down oil and natural gas operations. Both produce raw materials to manufacture and transport fertilizers. This has been underway since shortly after his inauguration. It is part of the overall scheme to generate a government caused famine. You are the carbon they are intent to reduce.

The EPA and the WH. The Haber-Bosch process uses natural gas as a major feedstock. Expanding these capabilities in the US isn’t happening.
