As Global Food Prices Spiral Out Of Control, Panic Buying Of Food Will
Become Increasingly Common
As Biden continues to
fumble; citizens suffer…
Even in the best of years we struggle to feed everyone in the
world, and the last two years have definitely not been the best of years.
Global weather patterns have gone completely nuts, major natural disasters are
happening with alarming frequency, and the COVID pandemic has played havoc with
supply chains all over the world. As a result, food prices have been
absolutely soaring. In fact, the UN is telling us that global food prices
were up 40
percent in
the 15 months ending in June…
Global food prices are rising along with many other commodities
and constitute a major part of the inflation picture.
According to UN Food and Agriculture Organisation’s biannual
global food outlook, prices had risen by 40% in the 15 months to June and the
trend has continued. That is the largest increase since 2010-11, which students
are geopolitical events will know was one of the major triggers of the so
called Arab Spring that red to a revolution in Egypt and upheaval elsewhere.
Needless to say, this is going to hurt those at the bottom of the
economic food chain the most.
Those that are living on five
dollars or less a day simply cannot afford to pay 40 percent more for food.
If food prices continue to escalate rapidly, it is probably
inevitable that we will see food riots and widespread civil unrest all around
the planet.
I have been relentlessly warning my
readers that
this was coming, but of course many in the general population didn’t want to
listen to such warnings.
But now even the communist government of China is telling people
to become preppers. Prices for some vegetables increased by more than 50
percent during the month of October, and on Monday Chinese citizens were
directed to
stockpile food for the coming months…
The country’s Ministry of Commerce late Monday issued a notice directing
local governments to encourage people to stockpile “daily necessities,”
including vegetables, oils and poultry, in order to “meet the needs of daily
life and emergencies.”
The agency also urged local authorities to make sure that people
have an “adequate supply” of essentials this winter into next spring. And it
told those authorities to keep prices stable — a source of anxiety in recent
weeks, as the cost of vegetables has surged throughout China because of
unusually heavy rainfall that has hurt crops.
Have you ever heard of China doing something like this ever
before?
Of course not.
And that is because global conditions have fundamentally changed.
If you do not understand this yet, you need to wake up.
Once this directive was issued in China, it caused a massive
wave of panic buying in local supermarkets…
The directive was released on the government’s Weibo account, a
similar platform to Twitter, stated: “Ministry of Commerce encourages households to stockpile
daily necessities as needed.” It had more than 17
million views as of Tuesday. Some netizens were concerned that an impending
invasion of Taiwan was the reason for the stockpiling directive.
“As soon as this news came out, all the old people near me went
crazy panic buying in the supermarket,” wrote one Weibo user.
Could it be possible that Chinese officials want people to prepare
because an invasion of Taiwan is coming soon?
Yes, that is possible, but hopefully we aren’t at that point yet.
I definitely believe that military conflict is approaching, but
let us hope that it can be put off for as long as possible.
Here in the United States, we are certainly not ready for a
showdown with China over Taiwan, because we have begun the process of kicking
large numbers of people out of the military. For instance, just check
out what the
Air Force is doing…
The Air Force has discharged 40 service members and is now
preparing to address the thousands of others who failed to get a coronavirus vaccination before the Nov. 1
deadline officials imposed, becoming the first branch to execute what military
leaders consider an
essential protective measure but one that critics believe will undermine
America’s ability to defend itself.
And now that the OSHA mandate is about
to kick in,
big corporations all over America are bracing for catastrophic personnel
losses. In certain cases, some companies could lose close to half of their
workers…
In Wichita, Kansas, nearly half of the roughly 10,000 employees at
aircraft companies Textron Inc and Spirit AeroSystems remain unvaccinated
against COVID-19, risking their jobs in defiance of a federal mandate,
according to a union official.
“We’re going to lose a lot of employees over this,” said Cornell
Adams, head of the local Machinists union district. Many workers did not object
to the vaccines as such, he said, but were staunchly opposed to what they see
as government meddling in personal health decisions.
Why in the world would Joe Biden think that this is a good idea?
Forcing millions of highly qualified Americans out of their jobs
in the middle of the most epic worker shortage in U.S. history is an
incredibly stupid thing to do.
But Joe Biden is doing it anyway.
Meanwhile, Pfizer is laughing all the way to the bank…
Pfizer Inc on Tuesday said it expected 2021 sales of the COVID-19
vaccine it developed with German partner BioNTech SE to reach $36 billion and forecast
another $29 billion from the shot in 2022, topping analyst estimates for both
years.
The U.S. drugmaker said it is seeking to sign more vaccine deals
with countries, which could drive sales even higher next year. It has the
capacity to produce 4 billion doses in 2022 and has based its projections on
sales of 1.7 billion doses.
Like with so many other things in our society, ultimately this is
all about the money.
Looking ahead, governments around the world are going to continue
to create, borrow and spend new money at a staggering pace, and that will push
worldwide food prices higher.
And the new global energy crisis that has
suddenly erupted will also push worldwide food prices higher.
On top of everything else, I expect that a variety of other
factors will combine to continue to suppress agricultural production all over
the planet.
So that means that for once I actually agree with the Chinese
government.
Stock up while you still can, because things are starting to get
really crazy out there.

SIDEBAR
Enroll in a seven-lecture
course that I prepared with the help and under the auspices of Hillsdale
College. It is called “American Citizenship and Its Decline,” and
the online course is based on my latest book, the recently released The Dying Citizen.
Like the book, the
course describes the current crises in America as symptoms of a far larger
problem: the steady decline of the autonomy and political influence of the
citizen.
While it may seem as if going without
electricity would be nothing but an unfortunate inconvenience, the truth is
much more harrowing. To better understand why 90% of the
population would die if the lights went out, consider the following ways in
which losing electricity would impact our society.
No Electricity Means No Water -
Almost no one carries a bucket to a well to draw up water anymore. What this
means is that our water sources are now dependent on electricity. If an EMP
strikes, the vast majority of the population would lose access to fresh water
as soon as the water towers run dry...

The communist rats in DC/White House should all be arrested; charged w/ many crimes including accessory to murder/child trafficking/drug running on our border; influence peddling and more.
We watched Tucker's series on the so-called Jan 4 Insurrection; sure popped the air from Pelosi's BS narrative [& the socialist media talking airheads]...can we have a 'legal' insurrections as it sure seems our country could use a real one against the rats/commies who have infected the district of corruption.
Now that over-the-hill socialist rat says he has a plan to 'study' inflation; what an ass
