There is a war on food. As an absolute necessity of life, this seems like a ridiculously counterintuitive thing to do, but there you go.
Why is food suddenly a bad thing? Easy peasy: Farming uses nitrogen, and nitrogen is being blamed for global warming, so of course it must be eliminated. In the name of saving the planet, huge swaths of global food production are being targeted.
"Rice is to blame for around 10% of global emissions of methane, a gas that over two decades, traps about 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide," intones the AP. "Scientists say that if the world wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, rice cannot be ignored."
Who cares if half the global population depends on rice for food? Let 'em die.
Dutch farmers are being hounded off their farms by government goons, with some 3,000 farms expected to be seized within the next few years. This is not only killing agriculture, it's killing farmers (20 to 30 of whom commit suicide each year). The European Commission actually approved a plan that would pay livestock farmers to shut down indefinitely in designated conservation areas if they agree to never start animal breeding activity elsewhere. Considering that the Netherlands is a top exporter of meat and agricultural products around the world, what do you think this will do to food availability and prices?
Remember the Sri Lanka government's attempt to impose only organic farming methods on its nation? The result was nothing short of a humanitarian disaster, with up to 90% of the population experiencing hunger.
"Special presidential envoy for climate John Kerry recently warned that the world can't tackle climate change without first addressing emissions from agriculture," warns Eric Utter in American Thinker. "The attack on...

Famine is one of the favorite tactics of communists. It’s a quick, easy and effective way of eliminating opponents. Works every time.

And Stalin took all the farmer’s horses, promising the farmers tractors as a replacement. The horses were, of course, distributed as food; but the tractors never came, making food production even more impossible. Kind of reminds me of the forced transition to Electric Vehicles.
This is of enough concern to me that I’m actually DOING something about it ... ‘prepping’ if you will. One step is finding local supplies (not stores) of food in the event the shelves go bare at the store & actually, I am reducing the amount of ‘grocery’ shopping I do at the store. Currently working on more storage room for food stuffs & talking to family about making sure they can survive if ‘bad’ things happen ... and very bad things are headed our way where food is concerned, if the current trend continues.
Free markets have provided so much bounty for so long that humanity has lost the ability to imagine shortages and starvation. Mankind will soon be re-educated but by then it may be too late to change course.
I’ve been studying up on Franz Fanon and Jean Paul Sarte. The bottom line is they were communists. Fanon had some good points to present and advocated violence. He suggested it’s too late and the damage is done.
You can’t put the genie back in the bottle so the violence has already started because there’s no pushback.

The neoMalthusians’ object is to convince you to accept death, along with a billion or two others.
Global warming by CO2 has failed.
Climate change has failed.
“Renewable energy” is failing
Eating bugs is a non-starter.
They’re working on eliminating nitrate fertilizers
Now it’s methane from rice
- if we won’t cooperate they’ll starve us by force.
Prepper’s ping. Start your own garden and make sure to collect and dry the seeds each season.

If I remember correctly, the people of Sri Lanka burned down the homes of numerous politicians and forced some of them to flee the country.
As for The Netherlands, I heard the farmers formed a political party that is now the largest political party in that country.
Time to hunt Leftists. I’m about to say, F it, time for CW2. Communists do not need most of us...
These elites will need massive armies to keep the world under their boot
We certainly don’t need any communists.
The Dutch will eat. Their overseas customers will starve, due to reduced food output. The elitist scum are apparently fine with that; surely they have considered the possibility, especially after Sri Lanka.
Soon to be the case in the USA, thank to people like Jean Cherie.
We’re doing the same, as you know.
Those that are even partially prepared for emergencies will fare much better.
Been doing this for decades, as I’ve almost always lived in Blizzard and Tornado-threatened areas. It’s just common sense.
And the new ‘common sense’ is to distrust Mother Government at pretty much any level. We are on our own.
