Unless there is some sort of unforeseen miracle, millions of people could literally starve to death in 2021. We are facing a global food crisis that is unlike anything we have ever seen before in modern times, and 2021 is going to be the year when it starts to become extremely painful all over the globe. But don’t take my word for it. David Beasley is the head of the UN World Food Program, and so he is in a better position to assess the global hunger crisis than any of us. According to Beasley, 2021 “is literally going to be catastrophic” and his organization is facing “the worst humanitarian crisis year since the beginning of the United Nations”…
“2021 is literally going to be catastrophic based on what we’re seeing at this stage of the game,” said Beasley, adding that for a dozen countries, famine is “knocking on the door.”
He said 2021 was likely to be “the worst humanitarian crisis year since the beginning of the United Nations” 75 years ago and “we’re not going to be able to fund everything … so we have to prioritize, as I say, the icebergs in front of the Titanic.”
Beasley is feverishly trying to raise more money to meet the rising tide of hunger that he is witnessing all across the planet, but he feels like he is fighting a losing battle.
Freakish weather patterns, crippling droughts and colossal armies of locusts have devastated crops throughout 2021, and the COVID pandemic is putting an extreme amount of stress on global food distribution systems.
As a result, food prices are surging and hundreds of millions of people living in impoverished countries now find themselves unable to afford enough food to eat on a regular basis.
Here in the United States, approximately 50 million people have experienced food insecurity at some point in 2021. According to PBS, this hunger crisis is even worse than what we went through during the last recession…
Those fighting hunger say they’ve never seen anything like this in America, even during the Great Recession of 2007-2009.
After the initial wave of fear caused by the COVID pandemic started to subside, a lot of Americans thought that we were out of the woods, but now a new wave of lockdowns is being instituted and CNN is reporting that the hunger crisis in America is actually “getting worse” as we approach the end of the year…
Hunger skyrocketed at the pandemic’s onset because of record high job losses, school closures and strained food pantries. But at that point, Americans were better positioned to make ends meet with support from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) Act and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamp, benefits. Yet, as we near year’s end, the problem is getting worse, not better. With the expiration of CARES Act benefits and without any hint as to when the next round of federal aid will hit people’s pockets, families around the country are suffering and will likely continue to do so throughout the holiday season.
Could it be possible that 2021 will end up being even painful for hungry Americans than 2020 was?
That is difficult to imagine, because the numbers from this year have been truly horrific. The AP analyzed Feeding America data from 181 different food banks, and they found that those food banks had given out 57 percent more food in 2020 than they did in 2019.
If the demand continues to skyrocket, eventually there simply will not be enough food for everyone.
We are all familiar with the photographs from the Great Depression that show men waiting in very long lines for free food.
Well, the same thing is happening now, but with a twist. Needy people are lining up as early as 2 AM and are waiting in their vehicles for up to 12 hours just to get a few bags of provisions from their local food banks…
The history books are filled with iconic images of America’s struggles against hunger. Among the most memorable are the Depression-era photos of men standing in breadlines, huddled in long coats and fedoras, their eyes large with fear. An overhead sign reads: “Free Soup. Coffee and a Doughnut for the Unemployed.”
This year’s portrait of hunger has a distinctively bird’s eye view: Enormous traffic jams captured from drone-carrying cameras. Cars inching along, each driver waiting hours for a box or bag of food. From Anaheim, California to San Antonio, Texas to Toledo, Ohio and Orlando, Florida and points in-between, thousands of vehicles carrying hungry people queued up for miles across the horizon. In New York, and other large cities, people stand, waiting for blocks on end.
Of course my readers were warned in advance that all of this was coming.
For years I have been warning my readers that economic collapse, civil unrest and global famine were approaching, and I strongly urged everyone to stockpile food and supplies.
Now we are constantly being bombarded by headlines that declare that the days that I have been warning about are here, and 2021 threatens to be even worse than 2020 was.
Today, I came across a news story that I think is an appropriate metaphor for what we are potentially facing in 2021. Hundreds of black vultures have invaded the town of Marietta, Pennsylvania and they are causing tremendous problems. They are tearing up rooftops and garbage cans, they are defecating all over the place, and they “spew vomit that smells ‘like rotting corpses’ on sidewalks and homes”.
Residents have been desperately trying to scare them away, but they can’t shoot the vultures because they are protected by law…
More permanent solutions are in short supply, as the black vulture is federally protected and can’t be exterminated without permission.
It’s illegal in the US to trap, kill or own black vultures without a permit and violators can face a fine of up to $15,000 and up to six months in prison.
So those vultures will get to stay in Marietta for as long as they wish.
Sadly, vultures are now circling over America too. I have written countless articles about the rotting, decaying carcass that our society has become, and those that hate traditional American values have increasingly gained more and more power.
Now we are just a few weeks away from the start of 2021, and there is every indication that it is going to be an exceedingly painful year.
Makes sense. You must live in Hinkley.
“Any ‘famine’ coming is due to political arrangements not commodity shortages.”
Every famine since at least 1900 has been solely a result of government. In the modern era, there is no such thing as a famine that was not directly caused by politics and government.
I saw that too. What a bunch of low IQ monkeys.
The crisis will only happen if it is planned. Iowa is one of the biggest food producing states. Half of our acres are not even being planted because the Government Pays not to plant!?
I will have to tell God that his flooding and sending of Locusts should have been handled better by the country ag commission.
You have your mind closed down so far, I am surprised it allows you to breathe.
You won’t have any farmland left if the government keeps putting windmills in Iowa.
The only ‘pay not to plant’ acres are in the Conservation Reserve Program, which is capped at around 25 million acres, much less than 10% of America’s farm land.
Yup. By far the cause of most death’s in the sad history of man has been caused by man’s own miserable governments.
That is one reason America’s Free Constitutional Republic is so unique.
Yet even here, the Satanic Left has managed to unconstitutionally legalize infanticide to the tune of killing tens if not hundreds of thousands of unborn - because the UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT made state anti-abortion laws illegal.
The Constitution is the only legal bulwark of freedom and sanity keeping America from totalitarianism.
Good thing all those americans had the sense to prepare for a government induced famine by becoming quite obese, myself included. Significant ‘hunger’ is just what the doctor ordered for us. Leave most of the food for the already thin.
I read the same prediction, but said that the world would be starving by 2000.
Now most the world is fat.
Don’t worry, Gates and Fauci have a plan to kill off 7 billion people.
The U.S. has been the bank account for everything United Nations for Way too long.
Way tired of paying for every damned thing.
YOu cant feed your offspring then do not have them.
When you name your blog “End of the American Dream” I guess every silver lining has a cloud and every half empty glass has a leak.
You may be correct about the percentage, but 10% is a lot. In the 70s, iowa boasted that it alone could feed the entire world (perhaps not perfectly, but lots of bacon, milk, and cereal)

My Comment - The USA has over financed the UN for too long, and getting nothing but derogatory comments; we carried all the financial weight, alone for far too long.
The UN response to the covid-19 virus was to honor the Chinese('save face') as they allowed the Chinese population to infect the whole world.
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, World Health Organization (WHO)under the auspices of the UN, isn't even a medical doctor,
but the Chinese delegation insisted on his appointment,
and this was before the covid outbreak (!).
Also, the UN has NEVER had an independent audit from an outside source, and therefore any request for more money it totally unrealistic.
A future Worldwide food shortage may be a reality, but this isn't the organization to fund until after an independent audit is conducted,
as there has been no accountability for the monetary wastage that already is known to exist.
Don't blame covid for any worldwide famine and demand more money, until you clean out your own house, and eliminate the director who deceived the world.
Hey! No food! No shortage of butt wipes!!
Maybe your elderly neighbors on the corner only claim to not have guns.
bkmk
Considering the fact that throughout the winter months I take their weekly garbage out to the curb for them because they are too infirm, I think it's safe to say that it wouldn't matter even if they did have firearms.......LOL!

2021 has not happened yet or did I miss it? We have had several years now of various factors that impact the food supply. Given the usual effects of a grand solar minimum, and state of the world financial markets-which typically have to reset every 40 years or so, anyone who hasn’t been preparing for the last 5 years at a minimum is just not paying attention.
USA needs to get out of the UN, and the UN can leave the USA, or start paying taxes to USA. The organization itself was never set up to benefit the USA.
