Ann Barnhardt: DOUBLE RED ALERT (Soros buying up farmland)

Double Red Alert

Posted by Ann Barnhardt - June 24, AD 2011 9:01 AM MST

Two HUGE intel leads in my email box this morning from way-back contacts that I've had for years, that are actually somewhat connected concepts.

1. File this one under "Now It All Makes Sense". A Missouri farming and ranching contact just got off a conference call wherein he was informed that the federal government is sending out letters to all of the flooded out farmers in the Missouri River flood plain and bottoms notifying them that the Army Corps of Engineers will offer to BUY THEIR LAND.

Intentionally flood massive acreage of highly productive farmground. Destroy people's communities and homes. Catch them while they are desperate and afraid and then swoop in and buy the ground cheap. Those evil sons of bitches.

2. Speaking of evil sons of bitches, George Soros appears to be "investing" in farmground through the same puppet company that he used to get into the grain elevator and fertilizer business. The company is called Ospraie Capital Management and is buying up farmground in a joint venture with Teays River Investments as a partner. Here is that announcement:

Click Here: http://www.absolutereturn-alpha.com/Article/2242566/Ospraie-Launches-JV-Agriculture-Fund.html

Okay. Here's the connection. This Ospraie outfit was a hedge fund specializing in commodities that was started and run by some cocky child who didn't know how to trade bear markets and got his butt kicked into next week in the grain market of 2008. He also lost a fortune trying to trade RARE EARTH METALS. In fact, it was so bad that he had to shut his fund down because he had promised his investors that he would give them all of their investment money back if the fund lost more than 30% in one year. Whoopsie.

But it appears that Soros swooped in and saved the day because this Ospraie is the "co-investor" with Soros that bought the remnants of ConAgra's trading operation and renamed it . . . Gavilon. In the industry, it is widely acknowledged that Ospraie IS Soros. That three-page article citation is here, copy and paste the URL into your address bar:

http://money.cnn.com/2008/11/12/news/companies/ospraie_demos.fortune/index.htm

As you probably remember, Gavilon just recently bought both DeBruce Grain out of Kansas City and the biggest grain elevator company in the Pacific Northwest, thus making Soros (who is the money behind Gavilon through both his own Soros Fund Management AND his de facto control of Ospraie) the third-largest grain company in the U.S. with 280 million bushels of storage capacity, behind only Archer Daniels Midland (542 million bushels storage capacity) and Cargill (344 million bushels storage capacity). That citation is here:

http://www.world-grain.com/News/News%20Home/Features/2010/12/A%20powerful%20signal.aspx?p=1

Bottom line: Soros, through Ospraie, is buying up farmground. Please also note that the hotlink citation above is dated June 26, 2009. My contact says this has been going on for two years - and also remember what I told you about farmground prices inflating wildly, especially in Illinois. I have personally confirmed farmground in Illinois selling for $13,000 per acre within the last month, whereas that same kind of ground in Illinois was going for $5500 per acre the day Obama was inaugurated.

Spread the word.

I've made Ann's site one of my frequent favorites. She's a God (but no one else) fearing U.S. American patriot...

... and a good example of the kind of folks we need to lead us and take back the U.S.

May God Bless America Again.

Soros is in his 80’s and will be cooking in hell soon, but he’s positioning his son or sons to continue his evil deeds.
What evil people.

Anorther good agro blog is http://bigpictureagriculture.blogspot.com/

Keep in mind that Soros is only one wolf amongst a pack of hedge funds and private capital (and government capital from the ME and Asia) that have been acquiring farmland around the world, and the trend has been recognizable since at least 2003.

The largest private farmers in the US are now a hedge fund in NY/CT with 15 full time employees, the managing directors have had to learn the agro biz from the ground up.

Easy. He ‘s trying to gain a controlling interest in food production... and in its pricing.

That means he will control a lot of the domestic supply of food as well as control our domestic supply of energy (in that he won't let us have a domestic supply of energy).

Call us paranoid, but after you have a dozen Gulfstreams and a hundred homes in several countries, what do you want next? You want to own people. You own people by having the power of life and death over them. Soros is only the vanguard. We have several other progressive billionaires bent on our slavery to their greater egos.

Do you think the EPA really cared about the environment when they shut down the San Joaquin farms? When food gets scarce, people get panicky. Panic and chaos is what the progressives want.

IMHO, Soros is the most evil man in America right now. More evil than his puppet, Barry Soetoro.

Johnathan Soros is an ideological carbon copy of dear old dad. We’ll be dealing with the Soros empire for many years to come.

Control the food producing land and eventually you control population growth or size.

The one worlders want to get rid of about 5 billion of us they consider...excess.

"so why is it a bad thing he is buying farmland? i dont get it. what are they going to do with it? just asking"

Have you ever heard that commercial on talk radio about the coming financial collapse and what to do about it? I forget the name of it, I'll try to look it up in my history, but they state we all need to buy farmland to survive.

Let me see if I can find it....

If you control the crop production, you control the commodities prices. It’s a great leverage on manipulating the other markets. Inflation, scarcity, and dumping are all part of the process.
This ranks with the ethanol scam. Even worse, Soros knows that if this starts to look weak, Barack will make the Tax Payers buy the land from him and the greenies will prevent it from ever being put back into production.
A starving people are a desperate people. In Soros’ mind it might might even take him back to the people’s rebellion of 1917 Russia. (If only history rather than indoctrination was taught in public schools.)

Given Soros’ history of undermining countries’ economies and the fact that farmland produces food for both internal consumption and sale to other countries, I'm concerned that with his resources, he may negatively influence American self sufficiency.

LDS church owns $5 billion worth of farmland worldwide, tops this list of investors. http://u.blakeclan.org/co

I had no idea the mormon church owned so much farmland.

Yep and I get the sinking feeling that most of that 5 billion will be white people since we are held resposible for all of the ill in the world...They plan that only the important ones like them are left....
