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.

iloversarah2012, it’s pretty sad when a Mormon knows more about where everything belongs on FR than you do. Shut up and get lost.

And, BTW, I’m a Catholic

Besides the fact that Mao ordered mass killing and starvation at a government scale, another reason to really, really dislike the man.

Yes Mao Tse Tung was quite the demon. I’m sure his last associates were glad to see him croak...finally...at last.

He’s buying shares for the sake of stock exchange. If more shares of farmland are in the state of being owned and not up for sale, the price per share of farmland increases, that way, if Soros finally bites the dust, with the cost per share hopefully increased, he or his sons can sell the shares for money, and turn a profit based on how the price per acre of farmland has risen.

It has to do with Big Corps USA taking control of everything via use of government force/regulations.

Big Ins Industry has now passed a law to force everyone to purchase health insurance, or else they sic the government (IRS) on ya.

Big Ag passed laws to make ethanol (corn) use 20% and just voted themselves in a huge profit (increased price resulted to meet artificially government created demand, and then food corn also increased because of shortages.

Big Oil via ethonol refineries voted themselves profits also with the 20% mandated ethonol use.

The environment gets more CO2 becuz less gas mileage on ethonol mixtures. Big Oil sells more gas on the lowered ethonol.....

Meanwhile..... Soros is buying farmland. Why? What legislation is pending...... how ‘bout that one where it is or will be illegal to grow food in your own backyard garden? Which forces us to only eat Big Ag food, with all their genetic modifications, and chemicals sprayed on, with their overworked tired nutrient lacking soils.... to make us ill....

For those that believe in population control...

There are food shortages around the world, although the G-8 nations probably won’t notice it much yet. After all, the powers that be are still milking us for every last red cent....

Revolt - everyone needs to grow as much of your own food as possible, in every nook and cranny available. You won’t believe how much better you feel.

It’s all about world control of the food supply.

If he can store all of the grain, he can cause inflation or even a famine if he wants. This guy hates the United States.

It makes you wonder just how many artificial food crises have been designed over the years — or even centuries.

I read in an American Thinker recent article that the government was not controlling the flooding as they used to do in the past. It all fits in, Obama is the hammer and Soros is the hand holding the hammer.

RINO Schwareneggar could have told the Washington envios where to get off, but he didn’t. He could have called the California guard to protect the dam. Would Obama call him on it? I doubt it, he would have had to back down. Could Obama afford a war with Arizona and California? How many votes would that lose him?

Cherchez les RINOs. They will stab you in the back every time.

How much do the bishops keep? Didn’t the Catholic church get into trouble when it became a money making operation back in the middle ages instead of a church?

George Soros has been buying hundreds of thousands of acres of pampas land in South America. Back in the 1990s he bought over a million acres in Argentina.

His company, ADECOAGRO, raised cattle for beef during the mad cow disease scare, when England, the US and Canadian beef could not be sold in Europe.

In 2006 Argentina’s Federal Planning minister announced that Soros is investing “between 250 and 300 million dollars” to produce bio-fuel from corn and sugar cane in Santa Fe province, Argentina.
