I only know this fellow as someone who does documentaries, not prepping.

At 8:45 he talks about the countries that have STOPPED exporting food.



The price of cooking oil in Germany has increased by 600%.



At 11:00 he mentions the escalating price of ammonium nitrate since 2020. Was 200 pounds sterling per ton, now is 600 pounds sterling.

Plane Crashes Near General Mills Food Plant Amid Outbreak Of Fires In Food Processing Facilities Across The Nation

By Alicia Powe

Published April 22, 2022 at 12:15pm


A small plane killed two people as it crashed near a General Mills plant in Georgia on Thursday night.



The plane reportedly exploded on impact and came close to demolishing the cereal manufacturer’s facility.



“Obviously this was a devastating crash and there are no survivors,” Covington police Capt. Ken Malcolm told the press following the collision. “We are working on a lead to determine who the victims were in the crash.”



“According to witnesses, they believe the plane was having trouble gaining altitude. They could hear that there was engine trouble,” he continued. “Suddenly the plane veered to the right and immediately came straight down and crashed into the lot behind us. This is the General Mills plant that produces cereal here in our area. The plane went down in an isolated area here on the lot behind us in an area where they store tractor-trailers. The plane came down into four, what appear to be empty, trailers.”


“The fact that it didn’t crash into the plant, saved many lives,” Malcolm added. “Our job is to contain the scene, turn over the scene to the [Federal Aviation Administration].”

Strange Trend of Food Processing Plant Fires Appears Across the US

At least sixteen fires have broken out at food processing plants, impacting the nation's supply of beef and poultry

PUBLISHED: APRIL 21, 2022 | BY MICHAEL ROBISON



There has been an outbreak of fires in food processing facilities across the nation in the last six months as food prices soar and supply chains are stressed to their limits.

The fires began showing up regularly in the news after a fire closed a Tyson Foods meat processing plant in Kansas. The location was a primary beef processing location for the company and the U.S. supply chain, providing about 6% of U.S. beef.



After the fire, analysts began speculating that the impact could drive up market prices for meat nationwide. Dan Norcini, part of the beef and poultry trading markets, said the cattle market would likely “respond negatively” to news of the fire. He said the long-term impact would depend on how long the plant stays closed.



Just days later, in August of 2021, the Patak Meat Processing facility burned near Atlanta. The media took notice because the family-owned business is beloved in its community locally, and its products are purchased nationwide.



The fire in Georgia barely had a minor impact on the food supply chain nationwide. But, in September, a fire at JBS USA, a meat processing facility in Nebraska, threatened the meat supply for the entire nation profoundly. The plant reportedly processes about 5% of the nation’s beef, and closure would directly impact the supply chain.



The trend has continued repeatedly through the end of 2021 and into 2022.



In February, Shearer’s Food Processing Plant in Hermiston, Oregon, burned down, leaving two employees injured. On April 13, Taylor Farms Food Processing Plant in Salinas, California, burned and prompted evacuations. On April 19, the Headquarters of Azure Standard Food Processing Plant in Dufur, Oregon, also burned.



People are beginning to notice because the fires are threatening an already stressed supply chain of food in the U.S.

The trend continues: on March 16, a massive fire wiped out much of a Walmart fulfillment center in Plainfield, Indiana. The event was severe enough to warrant the ATF to investigate.



Another incident occurred on April 11, at New Hampshire’s East Conway Beef and Pork, when a fire so large broke out that it took respondents 16 hours to extinguish.



At least 16 such disasters have taken place at food processing facilities nationwide. While most of the incidents have shown no foul play after investigation, the trend presents a curious string of events across the country.

It remains to be seen what the direct impact will be. Still, as the nation continues to face soaring food prices and trouble with supply chain operations, there could be a significant impact on the cost and availability of food for Americans.

(Natural News) A pattern of fires striking food facilities across the United States suggests that arson team are targeting food facilities for destruction. This theory, if confirmed, is consistent with other engineered tactics now being deployed to destroy food abundance in America:



The partial halting of grain and fertilizer deliveries by Union Pacific railroad, which is largely owned by Blackrock and Vanguard investment funds.

The mass culling of chickens and turkeys, using fraudulent PCR testing to claim there’s another “bird flu epidemic” that requires the mass destruction of egg-producing chickens (and other birds used for meat).

The government paying farmers to plow their crops under, effectively incentivizing the destruction of the food supply.

Joe Biden’s dismantling of America’s energy infrastructure (pipelines, drilling, etc.) which directly impacts agriculture, creating vastly increased prices for farming inputs such as fuel and fertilizer.

In a recent broadcast, Black Conservative Patriot (BCP) asked his audience to crowdsource reports of fires affecting food facilities in the last few months. His audience produced the following list. It hasn’t been fully vetted, but several recent fires such as the Azure Standard fire and the Taylor Farms food processing facility fire in Salinas, California, are both widely covered in recent news stories.



– Dried milk plant – Idaho fire 10-21

– Food processing plant fire San Antonio 12-21

– JBS beef plant fire 12-21

– Mississippi poultry feed mill boiler explosion 12–21

– Hamilton Mountain poultry processing plant fire 1-22

– LeCompte Feed mill fire, Louisiana 1-22

– Bonanza meat company fire El Paso, Texas 2-22

– Shearer’s Food Plant Fire, Oregon 2-22

– Mauston Wisconsin River Meats fire 2-22

– Food bank in Maricopa county Arizona- food pantry 50,000 pounds of food destroyed by fire 3–22

– Nestle fire Arkansas. 3-22

– Walmart distribution Center fire 3–22

– Potato processing plant Penobscot, Maine 3-22

– Sherbrooke, Canada food processing fire 4-22

– Fire grain elevator plant fire, Kansas 4-22

– Fertilizer plant fire 4-22

– Azure Standard fire 4-22

– Food processing plant fire, Salinas California 4-22

Granted, there exists a certain background frequency of fires even in normal times, but this pattern of so many fires striking so many food facilities in such as short period of time is raising eyebrows.



Union Pacific railroad is shutting down transportation of grains and fertilizer, even as demand for such agricultural inputs is skyrocketing

The recent Union Pacific announcement that they would start de-platforming rail cars carrying fertilizer to US farmers only adds to the speculation that all this is somehow coordinated to create food scarcity in America. It also begs the question: As the world is running straight into a global food crisis, why would the US rail infrastructure companies decide to drop fertilizer and grain shipments?



“If we do not see reductions to the operating inventory through their voluntary efforts, then we will begin metering traffic after April 18th,” announced a Union Pacific press release that targeted at least 30 companies that ship fertilizer, grain and other goods by rail. The term “metering” means forced de-platforming, of course. Companies like CF Industries were warned that if they did not voluntarily reduce the number of rail cars they were using, they would be banished from the entire rail system.



CF Industries, in its own announcement, warned that, “Not only will fertilizer be delayed by these shipping restrictions, but additional fertilizer needed to complete spring applications may be unable to reach farmers at all. By placing this arbitrary restriction on just a handful of shippers, Union Pacific is jeopardizing farmers’ harvests and increasing the cost of food for consumers.”



That same announcement revealed that 30 companies are facing similar restrictions. Union Pacific claims it is overloaded with demand and can’t handle it, so they’re buying more locomotives… a process that will likely take years to complete, if ever.



Engineered food shortages will lead to food riots and civil unrest around the world

The United Nations’ FAO is already warning that food prices are spiking at the astonishing rate of 12.6% per month, according to the FAO’s latest data (March, 2022).



The IMF, meanwhile, is publicly warning that the accelerating food supply shortages will lead to waves of social unrest across the globe. From that story:



Protests have already erupted in Peru due to unrelenting inflation, and this is probably only a taste of what is to come as the problem spreads.



Sky-high food prices, especially in poorer countries, will make it unaffordable for many families to make ends meet. This will lead to protests and riots – and as the dominoes continue to fall throughout the rest of the world, hell on earth will ensue.



“This crisis unfolds even as the global economy has not yet fully recovered from the pandemic,” says Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the IMF’s research development director.



When even the globalist institutions are warning about widespread food riots, civil unrest and the potential for political revolutions around the world, you know things are looking rather dim.



Analysis: The engineered collapse of the US food supply is part of the collapse / reset plan to destroy America

In our analysis, these data points are not merely coincidence. They indicate a well planned, well funded scheme to create food scarcity across the USA in the second half of 2022 and extending well into 2023.



Whoever is running this plan wants Americans to panic from hunger.



That panic will of course lead to uprisings and food riots, almost certainly followed by food rationing and, eventually, government-mandated price controls.



I have also predicted that the corrupt Biden regime will direct limited food supplies to “blue” areas while starving “red” areas as a run-up to civil war in America. Biden has already indicated he will use similar powers to weaponize supplies by denying the supply of monoclonal antibodies to red states. That action is a kind of medical sanction and an act of war against the red states.



To survive the engineered starvation that’s coming, we strongly urge all readers to learn how to grow food. ICanGrowFood.com is a Brighteon sponsor and features a free webinar video that shows you how to grow a huge amount of food in a very small space (about the same space of 2-3 parking lot spaces for cars).



You can also search Brighteon.com for the term “Kratky” to find all sorts of videos about the Kratky non-circulating hydroponic grow method, which is also the one that I use to produce massive amounts of vegetables with minimal effort.



Watch my hydroponics how-to videos at PrepWithMike.com to see how I use this simple, low-tech technology to grow food.

IMF now warning that food supply shortages will create waves of social unrest across the globe

(Natural News) The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a warning about the future, which looks grim.



If things continue as they are now – and they more than likely will – global food shortages will continue. The result will be supply issues and civil unrest, likely beginning in the Third World and spreading from there.



Protests have already erupted in Peru due to unrelenting inflation, and this is probably only a taste of what is to come as the problem spreads.



Sky-high food prices, especially in poorer countries, will make it unaffordable for many families to make ends meet. This will lead to protests and riots – and as the dominoes continue to fall throughout the rest of the world, hell on earth will ensue.



“This crisis unfolds even as the global economy has not yet fully recovered from the pandemic,” says Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the IMF’s research development director.



In a post he wrote, Gourinchas blamed a mix of high inflation and supply problems for the unfolding disaster that the world is witnessing. The most vulnerable countries, he added, will experience the fallout first, followed eventually by the rest of the world.



“Even before the war, inflation in many countries had been rising due to supply-demand imbalances and policy support during the pandemic, prompting a tightening of monetary policy,” Gourinchas added.



“In this context, beyond its immediate and tragic humanitarian impact, the war will slow economic growth and increase inflation.”



Will the entire world go hungry?

Gourinchas went on to talk about how increases in both food and fuel prices are likely to spur even more social unrest, starting in poorer countries. Central banks, he says, will have to adjust their policies somehow to try to anchor both medium- and long-term inflation expectations.



Brighteon.TV

If they fail at this – and they eventually will, since central banking is a Ponzi scheme that cannot persist forever without eventually collapsing under its own weight – then the situation will spiral even more out of control.



Even if central banks can get a hold on inflation somehow, food shortages are likely to persist for years to come, Gourinchas further suggests. Countries like China are now hoarding food, while “breadbasket” countries like Ukraine are no longer exporting and not planting nearly as many acres as usual due to the war.



It is a perfect storm, you might say, that seems to have taken out the global economy already. The full fallout has just not manifested yet in its entirety.



It was the IMF, just to clarify, that used the words hell on earth in an earlier report to describe what it sees coming on the horizon.

WATCH: Tucker Carlson Discusses Food Processing Plants Across the Country Catching Fire, Over a Dozen Factories Destroyed, Including Two THIS WEEK in Plane Crashes

By Julian Conradson

Published April 23, 2022 at 7:00am


With the cost of energy skyrocketing and record-breaking inflation, the Biden administration came out last month and warned the public about “food shortages” hitting the US.



Naturally, like with the ‘Putin price hike’, fingers were pointed at the war in Ukraine for causing the shortages.



Biden himself was even trotted out by his handlers, warning that the shortages in the US would be nothing short of “real.”


Well, something odd and concerning has been happening ever since the Biden Administration made their ominous prediction. Over the past month, there has been a mysterious wave of destruction hitting the US food processing infrastructure that has seen “over a dozen” food production facilities destroyed completely or rendered inoperable.



This week alone there were TWO – yes two – separate incidents where a plane crashed into food processing plants, one in Idaho on April 13th, and the other in Georgia on the 21st at the General Mills Processing Facility.



In addition to the plane crashes, there have been numerous other incidents thismonth, including several fires and a sudden boiler explosion. The timing of this string of disastrous events has many people wondering what in the heck is going on?

Indonesia Bans Edible Oil Exports, Sparks "Mayhem" As Global Food Crisis Ahead


BY TYLER DURDEN

FRIDAY, APR 22, 2022 - 07:20 PM

The rise of food protectionism by countries could exacerbate a massive hunger crisis that could take the world by storm later this year (well, that's at least what the Rockefeller Foundation believes).



The world's biggest palm oil producer, Indonesia, is the latest country to embrace protectionist measures to mitigate domestic food shortages, according to Bloomberg.



President Joko Widodo on Friday announced the export ban of all cooking oil and palm oil products would begin on April 28.



Widodo said during a television broadcast that the measures aimed to ensure domestic markets had ample cooking oil supplies following a dramatic increase in prices.



"I will monitor and evaluate the implementation of this policy so availability of cooking oil in the domestic market becomes abundant and affordable," he said.



Following the news, traders are placing bullish bets that world supplies of cooking oil and palm oil products will tighten even more. U.S. soyoil futures jumped more than 3% to a record high of 84 cents per pound.

Tesco, the UK’s largest supermarket, begins cooking oil rationing amid supply disruption

Tuesday, April 26, 2022 by: Ethan Huff

Tags: BBC, Collapse, cooking oil, food rationing, food riots, grocery, Morrisons, rationing, Rockefeller Foundation, scarcity, starvation, supply disruptions, Tesco, United Kingdom, Waitrose


(Natural News) It is no longer possible for Brits to purchase more than three bottles of cooking oil at Tesco, the United Kingdom’s largest supermarket chain.



According to reports, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has choked off the world’s supply of sunflower oil, forcing Tesco, which has more than 4,000 retail stores, to limit sales to three bottles per customer.



Waitrose and Morrisons, two other major UK supermarket chains, have even tighter restrictions that only allow two bottles of cooking oil per customer.



Since much of the UK’s cooking oil comes from Ukraine, which is no longer exporting at the same rate (or at all), Tesco and other retailers throughout the country are taking drastic action to avoid a total supply collapse.



Cooking oil prices have already spiked about 20 percent on average over the past year. That figure is only expected to increase.



“We have good availability of cooking oils in stores and online,” Tesco said in a statement. “If a customer is unable to find their preferred oil, we have plenty of alternatives to choose from.”



“To make sure all of our customers can continue to get what they need, we’ve introduced a temporary buying limit of three items per customer on products from our cooking oil range.”



Buying restrictions on olive and rapeseed (canola) oils are also in place as customers shift to these and other oils amid the sunflower oil crisis.



Indonesia halts all exports of palm oil under new protectionist measures


In a statement to BBC News, the British Retail Consortium’s Tom Holder said the new rationing measures are temporary “to ensure availability for everyone.”



Supermarkets, he added, are “working with suppliers to ramp up production of alternative cooking oils to minimize impact on customers.”



Another oil that is about to be in short supply is palm oil, which is primarily sourced from Indonesia. The country has decided to hold onto its supplies amid escalating shortages around the world.



The situation with the food supply and global supply chain seems to get exponentially worse almost daily. And now the Rockefeller Foundation is warning that a total collapse could come “in the next six months,” to quote Foundation President Rajiv Shah.



This gives everyone around the end of October at the latest before the entire world changes dramatically.
