FOOD

Russia produces a huge amount of wheat. So does Ukraine, or they did until Russia invaded the country. The EU and the United States have blocked the buying of Russian wheat because of the invasion. At least, that’s the reason they give.

China has a crop shortage, so they need more food. They will buy the Russian wheat.

We in the USA import most of our chemical fertilizers and the price has gone way up because of the war and shipping problems, including the Russian embargo. So we will grow less food this year. That means we may not export much, if anything, to Europe, and there will be shortages both here and in Europe that may lead to starvation in some areas.

Food cost has been skyrocketing in the States. Most recently eggs are rising in price at grocery stores. The reason is a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) spreading across the US and the problem has gotten so bad that, according to the Department of Agriculture, millions of chickens and turkeys have had to be slaughtered at poultry farms around the country
.
Bloomberg reports HPAI has been detected in commercial poultry operations, backyard farms, and wild flocks up and down the East Coast and across the Midwest since Jan. 26. Chicken meat and eggs are primary staples of the American diet.

Very strange that a deadly new form of Bird Flu is wiping out our chickens and turkeys right at the same time all this other stuff is going on, isn’t it? You don’t suppose that it will become transmissible to humans, do you? Or that it could have been created in a bio-lab, do you? Do you? I do, I think it could have.

A disease like that will have no problem spreading around the entire world. Why? BECAUSE BIRDS FLY. They migrate across great distances. Then when it spreads to people, and people travel everywhere, then all the birds and all the people get sick together, and the only advantage that has is that the more people that die, the less there are that need to eat birds.

So The Plan becomes more obvious as time goes by. Wars, plagues and famines go together, they always have, and I bet a nickel that the war between Russia and Ukraine doesn’t stay contained to just them. I may have already won the bet, as Belarus has begun sending troops into Ukraine as well, and I’ll be amazed if the NATO nations don’t react to that in some way besides providing more bullets to Ukraine.

Anyway, screw them all. I’ve been stocking up on food and supplies steadily for the past year and I’m pretty sure I have at least a year’s supply or more of food stashed away now, if things get bad around here.

I keep saying, be prepared.
