It truly IS this simple. Hard to implement, but it’s been done for centuries in the Communist & Totalitarian parts of the world:

“If you control the food supply, you control everything,” Newman said.

“One of the things that the communists loved to do is create scarcity and create dependents. As long as you have independent people who are able to take care of themselves, there really is no need for the government to run your life and to control everything that you do,” Newman said.

“Americans are good examples,” Newman continued. “As long as the food production is widely diffused, and it’s in the hands of independent producers, it becomes very difficult to get people to bend to your will.”

“The whole idea of using food as a weapon has been a hallmark of communist regimes for 100 years, Newman explained. “It’s also been a hallmark of the very same people who are openly promoting the U.N. Agenda 2030, the sustainable development goals, and even the World Economic Forum.”

Those who contrived “the controlled demolition of our food supply … want to completely restructure it,” in order to gain total centralized control of that because it gives them absolute power over everybody under their jurisdiction, Newman said.”

Free Rice Cookers for all! But, there’s no water and there’s no rice...

Very good post.

[Jane Long]

Exactly right.

And, add in the fear mechanism.

Commie/totalitarian regimes must instill fear, to get the citizens to comply.

Cultured Meat- one company has the production cost for chicken breast down to $1.70/lb. Really only good for nuggets and patties because they can't duplicate muscle texture so it's more like the chopped and formed products.

Gene-Edited Veggies grown indoors in vertical farms using AI and robotics.

The manufacture of all that high tech equipment and the chemicals used sure does look "sustainable". Same thing as wind turbines, solar panels and a gazillion batteries. It's all a transfer of wealth and control to a certain group of people.

All these things have something in common. They can all be patented. What kind of food is patented right now? RoundUp ready corn/soy. Who owns it? Big Pharma since Bayer bought Monsanto. How much of the market do they control? 80% iirc.(quick search says 90% in 2003) All the other high tech produced food is being funded by various investors including asset managers.

They're also working on gene-edited livestock and you just know farmers will jump on board if they can make a little more money(to start with), just like they did with roundup ready corn.

That means techies, pharma and financier types will own almost all food production and all of them are globalist/futurist/progressive/technocrat types.

The future will be some kind of mix of Idiocracy, Elysium, Hunger Games and some other dystopian nightmares like Black Mirror episodes if they have their way.

RoundUp is failing. There are more roundup resistant weeds every year and some farmers are getting away from it. The seed's more expensive and now they're having to mechanically cultivate to knock down weeds again like pre-roundup days.

Use cash, grow food, store food, collect barter items, build community networks.
