Ice Age Farmer warns about engineered food SCARCITY as a weapon to control humanity
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome everybody to Bright Town Conversations.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and in this series we talk with thought leaders across the world and across many different sectors of the economy, philosophy, and so on.
Today we have a very special guest, a first-time guest joining us.
You know him as the Ice Age Farmer, and his name is Christian Westbrook, and he can be found at iceagefarmer.com, and he has some really intriguing videos, some analysis of the food supply disruptions and other issues that we'll talk about today.
I noticed him on brighteon.com.
I I don't know if other people were posting his videos or if he was posting them or what, but I saw his videos on Brighteon.
I had to have him on.
He joins us today.
Christian, it's an honor to have you on.
Thanks for joining me.
Likewise, Mike.
Thanks so much for having me.
Yeah, well, let's just start with the basics here because you've really started to make waves out there with your spot-on analysis of food supply disruptions, especially in the context of COVID-19.
But could you give us a little background of, you know, sort of how you came to this?
Why the name Ice Age Farmer, by the way?
And what really is your focus and your mission right now?
Sure.
So I've been paying attention to the space for a long time, but it wasn't until really I started digging into the natural cycles of the sun, sort of the antidote to the global warming hysteria, that it sort of cut through a lot of the agendas, all of the endless spending as if there was never going to be a reckoning of debt, all of the strange desires to take over the food supply, all of these congealed into this looming something.
In the future.
And you've done great work for years now on this, the chronic attack on the food supply, but so too is there an acute attack that we're going on right now.
And that's the one that I think it's absolutely critical that we bring attention to today.
The natural cycles of the sun, as it turns out, when you look back in history, there's a normal 11-year cycle, sort of a heartbeat of the sun called the Schwab cycle, where the sun's activity picks up and there's more sunspots, and then it sort of dims off for a bit.
And in both of these states, there are very real effects on the planet, but so too are there larger cycles, and these are known as the grand maxima or the grand minima, during which, as it turns out, agriculture on our planet, a lot of things, but among those, agriculture is very significantly impacted.
And as a result, when you look back in history, you see periods where crops failed and people starved, tens of millions of people across Europe.
It's really informative.
And I think now that we see the sunspots dropping off and we've been headed into a modern grand minimum, that's what we need to be talking about.
That's what we need to be preparing for.
And as it turns out, we've learned this year that the, I think the cryptocracy, if you will, the powers that shouldn't be, have long known about these cycles, have taken steps like the disinfo campaign of global warming to preclude us from reaching those correct conclusions and to throw us off the scent.
But all along, they have been anticipating this and planning to use it like the Fabian socialists, as you know, do.
They wait in until the time is right.
And this is it.
This is the prime time as the world food systems collapse to seize complete control, to do a total totalitarian takeover and advance their transhuman agenda.
Wow.
So you're really talking about the weaponization of food scarcity, also kind of combined with a propaganda weapon of deliberate disinformation to mislead people about the causes of that scarcity so that they will turn over their liberty or sovereignty to centralize command and control structures that are actually intending on killing them.
If I can paraphrase what you just said, does that sound accurate?
Yeah, there's no question.
I think we've seen all of these agendas that we've seen develop sort of slowly in the background, percolating on the back burner for decades, centuries in some cases now, all congealed into this nasty glob of globalist nonsense that's all rushing forward, a blitzkrieg of these totalitarian agendas all in 2020.
And a lot of them, you know...
Some of them don't make sense without some precipitating event that is needed to give teeth to those agendas.
People don't want to sign up all of their privacy away to contact tracers.
They don't want to start eating insect-based protein.
There are things that are just a bridge too far for a lot of people to jump.
But when you put them in the context of a global engineered food crisis, then it all starts to make sense.
Yeah, I mean, when I was a child, you know, my grandparents used to make Rice Krispie treats, and I guess today, soon, it's going to be Rice Crickets treats, because that's what they're pushing, is crickets as a protein source.
But you're absolutely right.
You know, back in the 70s, the universities were teaching Grad students and so on, that we were facing a global cooling crisis.
Time Magazine, I think even back in the 80s, had full-page covers that were warning about the coming Ice Age and global cooling.
And then, of course, they just flipped a script in the late 80s or early 90s, I'm not sure exactly when, and Al Gore started screaming about global warming, which then later morphed into climate change because they couldn't decide which way it was changing.
The coming ice age was the consensus in the 1970s, but as you're describing it, there is actually a cooling era that is accelerating right now on this planet.
Is that correct?
Absolutely.
And it's more fair and accurate to describe it as a period of more unstable growing seasons and weather in general.
Like when you look back at some of those, even the original publications 40, 50 years ago, it's stunning.
From the 70s, you see that sunspots are going to drop off and the jet stream will cease to be a straight thing.
It'll turn into these, it's called meridional flows, where cold air comes down from the Arctic and invades the growing zones, killing off crops and vice versa.
You see pockets of warm air extending up into the Arctic.
And right now, those exact patterns are being described as the polar vortex and blamed on global warming, or the Arctic warming and blamed on global warming.
So they've hijacked that narrative, and they've insisted that it's global warming or nothing, and that's been a false duality, right, where some people say that the planet's getting hotter, and it's because of cow farts, and then that has sort of forced the other side to adopt the position of, no, that's nonsense, but in that dialogue, we've lost track of the actual truth, which is that, no, our planet goes through perfectly normal natural cycles.
We've been through them before, and they do involve a slight cooling, but more to the point, again, a loss of the That's really key.
Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that because, yeah, crop production requires the ability to predict production, you know, to make investments in seeds and investments in farming, locations and equipment and so on.
You need to have stability.
You need to have predictability.
And what you're saying is that I think with increased...
Extremities, let's say, or extremes in weather.
That predictability is gone, and crops are going to freeze in some cases.
Other crops are going to die of drought in other cases.
But it's the same phenomenon behind all of this.
So we have crop risks going through the roof, even though the farmers are applying the same algorithms and the same logic as before, but now crop failure risk has skyrocketed.
Yeah, you're exactly right.
And I could give you a few examples.
The best way to get a picture of this yourself is to go to iceagefarmer.com slash history.
And I've compiled a list of the examples from the past because there's just no more efficient way to learn.
When you look back at the previous instances of this, we have Thomas Jefferson writing about how their corn yields were dropped to 10% at some point.
Lewis and Clark were going across the continent and encountering temperatures as low as minus 100 degrees in North Dakota.
Just, as you say, extremes that are hard to put into context during the weather that we know and we're familiar with.
Even Wikipedia, if you go look at their article on solar cycles, is unambiguous in that we've been in a modern maximum of sunspot activity.
And that translates directly to very stable growing seasons.
But Wikipedia also tells you that we exited that grand minimum in 2008.
And so that asks the question, where are we now?
What's going on?
And when you look at what we're experiencing, like the tremendous flooding across the U.S. last year, that record prevent plant, so much so that we're now having seed shortages of cover crops.
So that was in the spring, and this is the shortening of the growing season on both sides.
There was a blizzard last September that just ended the growing season for sugar beets and for a lot of the Midwest, especially where they had been locked out because of the flooding.
And then just this morning, we saw a lot of the corn hitting 30 degrees in parts of the Midwest.
So yeah, we are year after year experiencing this narrowing of the growing season.
You can even see it quantitatively.
There is a measurement called growing degree days, which measures the amount of heat available to a plant throughout the growing season.
It's sort of an accumulation over time.
And GDD dropped precipitously off between 2018 and 2019, meaning there were parts of the U.S. where you could go and see their values, and they had...
Literally, they drop below the requisite number of growing degree days to get a certain crop to maturity, which means we can make the statement, there are parts of the world that could grow corn two years ago that cannot today, and that's why we're seeing the food supply dwindle.
And again, because of a lack of heat, a lack of warmth.
And I know you speak about this from time to time on your videos, but I want to bring people's attention to the fact that the global geopolitical implications of farming difficulties, i.e.
food scarcity, food prices, and so on, are enormous.
There's political stability when there's food stability.
And there's food stability when there is climate stability, let's say.
And then when this variability increases, as you just described, some places are colder, other places might be hotter, and so on, and crops are subjected to stress and failures.
This inevitably, I mean, throughout world history, it leads to political stress or geopolitical upheavals, especially when Citizens of a certain region discover that they can no longer afford to put food on the table or it becomes a very high percentage of their income.
They're spending 50% of their income on food, which is the case in many third world nations right now that are just barely on the edge of food sustenance.
So this is global instability in realms far outside of food.
So the sun alters politics through this process, and yet we have a political system today that completely tries to delete the sun as having any influence over human society at all.
It's incredible.
That's right.
Just strip it out of the IPC models altogether.
No, you're exactly right.
And it's very impressive when you look back even further beyond the Dalton minimum and the Monder minimum, which we can look at the history in Europe and even North America at how that affected us.
But the Chinese keep extensive records, both of sunspots and, of course, of their history, of their empires.
And time and time again, as the sun enters these grand minima, as it drops off activity and the growing seasons suffer, you see that the empires decline because the crops fail and the people believe that the king has lost the divine right.
He's obviously fallen from grace in the eyes of God.
So it's time to depose him and install a new leader who will bring back the growing seasons and food.
So there's no question that the activity on the sun drives the climate on our planet.
Through that, human activity and cultures and rising and falling of empires.
And that's why, I would quickly add, that's why these totalitarian, the globalists have to seize.
It's not just that the Fabian socialists were waiting for the right time.
It's actually, they had to clamp down upon everything right now because the food production was failing.
And if they wanted to retain power, then they had to impose a global totalitarian state with perfect control and perfect awareness of all of these resources.
This is really fascinating because what you're saying is that even before the COVID-19, I believe it was a genetically engineered bioweapon, but even before it was created and funded by governments, including in part the NIH,
Even before that happened, you're saying that the people who run the world knew that a food collapse essentially was on the way, and they needed a catalyst to seize power before the food collapse would lead to mass uprising and social discontent, which always leads to breakdowns of government structures around the world.
Is that a fair statement of what you're saying, that they were aware that this was going to happen?
Asking you to repeat what you just said, but I want the audience to be really clear that this is what we're saying.
No, I appreciate that.
And there's no question, right?
I think as you've covered, we've seen for decades now this gradually moving food away from everything that is natural towards what I call the transhumanist food.
So they've been creating genetically modified crops.
They've been pushing people in the UN agendas from the IPCC that filters down to the EU Farm to Fork policy and now to the Rockefeller Reset the Table policy.
All of these think tanks and unelected dictatorial boards have all been advancing this gradually.
We're pushing humans away from natural food.
And there's no question in my mind that that's because they knew we were heading right into a period where food production, as we've known it, is changing.
It's not going to be possible anymore.
And yet, have they, in your view, in some ways miscalculated?
Because, for example, with GMOs, they would often promise that genetically engineered crops could be more drought resistant, so they would continue to produce more food during these high-risk climate variability eras.
But, in essence, By creating GMO monoculture crops, they've actually reduced the genetic variability of the food system.
And in doing so, they have greatly heightened the risk of catastrophic food failures that even they may not have anticipated.
Yeah, it's infinitely more vulnerable.
You're exactly right.
I think the solution to this is to move back to highly diversified, regenerative practices, indigenous practices, go back to what has worked for humanity all along, rather than, as they would suggest, fail forward to even more lab-grown meat, indoor farming of crops.
Right now, they want to advance their agenda even further by pointing at this nasty creation they've already created.
Yeah, we know.
It's disgusting.
We've been talking about that for years now.
We don't like GMOs either.
It's exactly the same as the factory farming, right?
There is no thinking person in their right mind who could argue that factory farming is a good thing.
It's wholly disgusting.
There's nothing good about it.
Absolutely.
Yeah, from the animals to the people.
So anyone that's aware of that would speak out against it.
But now again, we see they're pointing at that and saying, ooh, it looks like this actually isn't that good.
We need to eliminate animal agriculture altogether, which again, it's failing forward to an even worse situation where they have even more control.
And I just want to quickly qualify that by saying, if you eliminate animal agriculture, you remove one of, if not the most critical links in a holistic system where you've got nutrients cycling through a homestead or a regenerative farm.
You need the animals to turn grass and other things into manure to feed that.
And if you don't have animals, then you become, again, wholly dependent on the system for the inputs, for the chemical fertilizers, which is exactly what they want.
So yes, it all ties together a further enslavement of humanity.
Yeah, you're exactly right.
I'm glad you mentioned that.
Even on my ranch, we've got Nigerian dwarf goats that produce fertilizer.
They run around, eat all the grass and leaves.
Well, not so much grass.
They like leaves and shrubs for the most part.
And then they produce fertilizer that can be easily put on banana plants and fig trees that I've got and things like that.
And in essence, the animals are collecting sunlight energy and concentrating it into a convenient pelletized form.
That's why goats are so awesome to have around.
But I want to get back to something you said.
The loss of genetic diversity of the crops is something that appears to have also been engineered because you've seen seed companies purchased by these large corporate conglomerates.
You've seen in Mexico, for example, there used to be 25 or 30 varieties of maize, and now that has collapsed to something like five.
Even in the U.S., you used to be able to go online, let's say, 20 years ago and purchase something like 40 varieties of onions and things like that, and now that's collapsed as well.
The seed diversity has been under an extreme collapse for...
Let's say the last two decades.
And that's happened under the cover of technology and advancement and efficiency.
But we have lost our genetic food heritage on this planet.
And you can't just bring it back overnight.
You're exactly right.
This serial consolidation done through mergers and acquisitions of Monsanto and Syngenta has meant that, yeah, we've lost the gift from God of the genetic diversity of plants on this planet.
It's not just that we had beautiful genetics, which we did.
This is literally the words given to us as we left the Garden of Eden, by the sweat of your brow, you will eat.
But no longer.
Now the technocrats want it to be, by virtue of us, existing in their beast system and using their genetically modified seeds.
It's all different now.
We're going to eat because we submit to Bill Gates and we drink his genetically modified breast milk.
It's really...
Complete satanic attack on all that is good and true.
That's why I say it's transhumanist food.
Just yesterday, something happened which was stunning as well.
You saw Amazon and Wish both actually move to ban sales of seeds internationally, which means they're literally cutting off the movement of seeds between people and between nations.
Mike, as you know, this is What agriculture is.
This is how we've existed until this point in time, is bringing wheat out of the Middle East and bringing corn out of Mexico and rice out of Asia.
These are now staples around the world by virtue of the fact that we did that, that we brought the seeds that work and took them with us to continue eating as we entered new places.
So there's no question this is an assault on humanity and the most basic ways that we exist.
Well, that's extraordinary.
Yeah, I saw that news as well.
Amazon banning international seed sales into the United States, which I think came after those mystery seeds from China were being shipped all over the country.
That's right.
But wow, why wouldn't they only ban seeds from China, you know, instead of from everywhere?
But that's just the way Amazon is.
Let me ask you a little bit about you personally, because For people watching you for the first time, you seem just remarkably well-informed on these topics that we're talking about.
You've obviously done a lot of research and you're able to articulate these very important ideas.
But, you know, you seem really young for someone who would typically know this information.
How on earth did you get into this?
Because...
Look, most people in America have no clue about food.
They don't even know where it comes from.
They don't know what's in it.
Nothing.
They're just eating whatever.
They have no clue.
But you know a lot about this.
How did that happen?
That's a good question.
I appreciate that, by the way, Mike.
I perhaps am not as young as I look, but I've been looking at these things for a long time.
You know, when I started as a research scientist with a background in AI and machine learning and robotics and was doing some, this is back in, you know, 1999, was doing some research into how robots could figure out where they are.
I was working with some teams at NASA, and I thought that was really cool.
Until one day, I heard from one of our NASA colleagues who said, oh, that last iteration of the algorithm worked really well.
So I sent it over to the DOD, to the guys with the shotgun robots.
And I said, whoa, this is not who I am.
This is not what I want to do with my life.
And so I got out.
Building Terminators?
Yeah.
So I don't do AI from that point forward.
And then I went to work for a hedge fund.
And I thought, oh, this is cool.
This is money.
There's a lot of resources.
And so that means there'll be great innovation.
And we'll see what it's like to work close to the markets.
And then I saw them making the sausage of cutting up mortgage payments into tranches and selling those off as AAA. And I said, how is this legal?
And I remember the Harvard PhD turned and smiled at me and said, it is legal.
That's the beauty of it.
And I said, okay, these guys are...
I mean, it's straight up crime.
This is ridiculous.
And so, you know, it's been that kind of an exploration as I woke up, basically, right, to who actually is in control of this world, who really rules this realm.
And all of these informed my path along the journey.
But it wasn't until, as I said, the natural cycles of the sun and their effects on food, and then looking into the way that agriculture has worked and has already been taken over by the Rockefellers and the Green Revolution and Bill Gates with his new programs that he's just launched this year to even further accelerate their efforts to push and then looking into the way that agriculture has worked and has already been taken over by the Rockefellers We just have to override their indigenous practices.
It's the most basic assault on humanity that I can imagine.
And as I've said, that's why it's the most important conversation to have.
That's why I'm here.
So one of the things you just mentioned, I share that observation with you where, in fact, I did a podcast the other day talking about all the most profitable corporations that run our world, they manufacture and sell poison in one form or another.
Media companies is poison for your mind.
Food companies, poison for your body.
Healthcare companies, it's just pharmaceutical poison or chemotherapy poison.
Political tribes are geopolitical poison, destroying society, destroying liberty and so on.
And you look at the companies that are powerful today, like Coca-Cola or Google, poisoning your search results.
right There are very few examples of companies that are actually doing anything good for humanity and doing well financially.
It's like our whole system, you know, a free market system.
I mean, look at Bayer, look at Monsanto, making hundreds of billions of dollars off of the glyphosate poisoning of the world, you know, coming out of the era of Agent Orange poisoning as a weapon of war, and getting away with it.
Having the court settlements or the court judgments reduced substantially so they don't have to pay the big award money to victims and so on.
How is it, how did a free market system become so twisted and perverse where it rewards the most toxic corporations that are toxic to humanity?
How did that happen, you think?
Yeah.
It's a very astute observation, Mike.
And I think the fastest answer is just to say we don't enjoy a free market.
We have seen, you know, when we talk about Monsanto and the mergers and acquisitions, that kind of a pattern you can see everywhere.
Coca-Cola buys up natural fruit juice pressing companies and then swaps it out to sugar.
You know, I can't remember the name of that brand, but we've seen where it was, oh, it's naked juice.
That's right.
Yeah.
And they start adding sugars and colors.
And it's just like, well, this was a health product.
Why was it necessary?
Why did you destroy that brand?
That's not necessary.
This is how they operate.
And it really is insightful as to who the lord of this realm is, right?
And his agenda, the fact that this is a debt-based money system created by Babylonian banksters years ago.
So it makes sense they are able to use that capital to move things in their agendas.
And I also want to add that's going to happen now in hyperdrive because we are summarily leaving behind any notion of the free market.
We now see this talk of true cost accounting.
We've seen Christine Lagarde and the European Central Bank say that Because of global warming, from now on, we are going to take into consideration carbon emissions as part of our finance system.
And so we're not going to give loans to anyone that has petrochemical companies.
We're not going to give loans or guarantees to farms or ranches because of cow farts.
And if you're a grasshopper farm, then you get the money.
This is the answer to your question, is they push society in the direction they want through social engineering and through capital, making it available only to the people who are working in the directions that they want.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And then they create artificial scarcity for the masses.
And we've seen with these COVID lockdowns, we've seen how the elite that rules society, they have one set of rules for themselves, Nancy Pelosi at the hair salon, and then they have a completely different set of rules for everybody else.
So while the masses starve, you know, in the capital cities, of course, the elite are going to be eating, you know, delicious meals like Out of Hunger Games.
You know, in fact, this is like Global Hunger Games, basically, at this point.
Where the Black Lives Matter protesters are the contestants, you know, versus the patriot prayer groups on the streets, and, you know, the world is watching with mobile phones that are the cameras, and then corporations are, like, flying in balloons of donations, Coca-Cola, Nike, McDonald's, Yeah, I mean, this is Hunger Games, man.
It's actually playing out.
It's pretty accurate.
And it's even as if we were all the contestants.
Because, Mike, what we've seen now is that between this food agenda, but also the digital currency, the digital known traveler ID, like I said, all of these agendas that are all launching forward right now, a system is being constructed.
I'd call it the beast system, because I think it's an appropriate term, is being constructed wherein if you fail to comply with their requests, if you don't socially distance enough, Or if you don't stay on home on quarantine day, then, you know, you won't get your food that week.
And that's why we all have to start growing food right now because it will be used as a weapon to ensure compliance.
You're not kidding.
It's all going to come down to food credits on your little crypto food cards.
And if you don't obey in your social scoring system, you're going to lose food credits.
This is not hyperbole.
We've just seen two weeks ago, Xi Jinping unveiled China's clean your plate.
I can't even say it with a straight face.
Clean your plate initiative.
The nanny state is invading.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Clean your plate.
In your plate, which says, for one thing, you're not allowed to even show yourself eating large portions on social media, and if you attempt to do so, your smartphone will tell you you should be valuing food.
But more to the point, if you go and take food waste to one of these new, artificially intelligent, facial recognition-enabled trash cans...
It will weigh your food waste and determine that you've thrown away too much, and it will penalize your social credit score.
I'm not making this up and projecting or imagining.
This has already been described and implemented.
So it's not a big jump to suggest the way we're going from here.
This is some crazy Orwellian nightmare.
Let me ask you, you mentioned the Federal Reserve debt and how we have a debt-based system in terms of economics, and you're absolutely right about that.
But I want to bring our conversation to the agricultural debt, because as you are well aware, so many of the farming practices that are undertaken today around the world, they are non-sustainable in the sense that they are borrowing from the future resources, which is a form of debt.
For example, topsoil reduction through the farming practices that just eliminate soil, the killing of soil microbes with things like glyphosate, the use of fossil water supplies that are non-sustainable.
And this is throughout the Midwest of America.
It's fossil water.
It's dropping, you know, a foot a year in the aquifers.
It's not coming back for a thousand years.
There are so many things that are being done, like just clear-cutting forests to grow genetically modified soybeans in Brazil.
That whole system is non-sustainable.
Eventually, the whole rainforest ecosystem just collapses because you don't have the water transpiration cycles respected in that system.
At the same time that we are printing our way to monetary collapse, aren't we then also borrowing a form of agricultural debt that will lead to food collapse on top of everything else that you've said?
Absolutely.
We're committing eco-sign, and this is part of why they're now pointing at what they have done, looking at the damage that they themselves have wrought, and saying, oh, we can't do this anymore.
We need to start eating crickets.
Mike, literally, if you read the Rockefeller Foundation's Reset the Table document a couple weeks ago, it says, the Green Revolution helped to feed people.
But it did so at the expense of, yes, causing great damage to our agriculture, loss of topsoil resources, people being subjugated to treatment that they shouldn't.
And they even concede that the Rockefeller Foundation had its hand in that Green Revolution.
So they even take part of the blame as they suggest that we fail forward even further into their nonsense.
And it's pretty remarkable.
Well, at some point, as this worsens, aren't they going to just have to turn to soylent green, you know?
Really, just compost the bodies.
Well, I guess that's already legal in Washington State, composting dead humans and spreading the bio-sludge on food crops.
That's already happening.
But what about just directly harvesting the dead humans and turning them into soylent green?
It's a pretty gruesome thought.
You know, there oddly and frighteningly has been already some of the initial social engineering campaigns around this kind of a thing.
You've seen cannibalism mentioned by, it's staggering, by professors who are saying in order to solve the climate crisis, we're going to have to start eating each other.
And they certainly have already started unveiling these new products that are made of cockroach milk or other things that are distinctly unappetizing and should not be thought of as food sources.
But as you said, this is all pushing the ball in that direction, transhumanist food.
Would we be considered white meat then?
Will there be a racial component to cannibalizing white people for white meat?
Is that going to be part of the conversation?
I wouldn't want to speculate, but it is fair to say that race has certainly been invoking.
We talk about systemic racism.
Again, from the Rockefeller Foundation's documents, it's talking about removing funding from the farms and ranches.
Because they're dirty and nasty and making sure that we fund new alternative agriculture and giving priority in doing so to Black, Indigenous people of color.
And I actually had to look up the term BIPOC, which stands for that, when I first encountered it because it's just so bizarre and out of place to read about race in a document about food.
We all eat food every day.
But you're right.
Man, it ties right into the conversation about South Africa and the treatment of farmers there, ongoing.
And I think, yeah, we need to have our eye on that as well.
Well, I can't help but notice that...
The pathway to food freedom for all humanity is decentralization.
It should be about teaching everybody to farm and legalizing front yard gardens all across America, for example.
They shouldn't be able to throw you in jail for growing cucumbers in your front yard.
And yet, what we continue to see is the centralization of food and food resources, such as seeds and pesticides and big, high, large-scale farming operations, CAFOs, as you mentioned.
These are all centralization command and control structures that really threaten food supplies.
But there's no incentive anywhere in government or corporations to share power with the people.
They don't want the people to have their own honest money system, to make their own medicine, to grow their own food, to have their own speech.
Nothing.
No, it's all about taking power from people in every realm.
That's right.
And, you know, they've told us that.
Henry Kissinger unambiguously told us all, if you control food, you control people.
And actually, Dr. Vandana Shiva went a step further and said, if you control seeds, then you control food.
It's more powerful than guns.
It's more powerful than bombs.
That is the most potent weapon to control the population of the world is to control seeds.
And that's why they have been working for generations now to consolidate the power of the ownership of the genetics.
And that's why they're locking down the seed sales now.
They tried to do it just by banning sales of seeds.
Whitmer in Michigan did that in March.
But people, you know, We still have some sense of, wait, we should be able to feed ourselves or garden if we want to.
So that didn't work, and that's why they had to go through the process of the Chinese mystery seeds falsifying.
But you're dead on to say that we need to move to a distributed model of growing food.
It's stunning, and I want to make sure we pay attention also to their...
There is an acute attack on our food system, in addition to the chronic one that we're describing, the generations went long, where under the guise of COVID-19, they are going out and shutting down the meat plants.
They mandate testing, which we now know from the New York Times last week has a 90% false positive.
That's right.
So, of course, they mandate testing, which means you will have people testing positive.
And that means they have this pretense under which they're shutting down the food system right now across the world, but most acutely in the United States.
And over the past few weeks, we've seen that.
Because we're entering harvest season.
I've been talking about this for months, and I said, watch, when we get to the harvest season, this is going to happen to the farm workers.
And it is, Mike.
They have just said that, again, in Michigan, they have mandated COVID-19 testing for any farm labor.
Inslee in Washington just did the same thing last week.
And so inevitably, that means these people are going to be testing positive.
California, Gruesome Newsome, our governor here, has established COVID-19 for Farm strike teams, Mike, that have been sent out to ensure compliance with OSHA. And that means that they're shutting down farms.
They just did so to foster farms, a meat plant down south.
And yeah, so we're entering a situation where production is systematically being shut down right now as we enter the election season where we know they're trying to engineer absolute chaos in this nation.
So here's what's extraordinary.
You talk about the Central Valley in California.
Newsom sends out COVID strike teams, mandatory testing.
And if people had the flu shot last year, they'd probably test positive for COVID-19 this year because of the false positives and the partial matching of viral fragments and so on.
And yet, you know, Newsom will have those farms shut down.
But when they take the sewage from Los Angeles, they collect all the sewage and they make bio sludge.
They'll spread that all over the farms.
And Newsom has no problem with that.
You have any idea what the viral load is in aggregated human sewage from the city of Los Angeles?
They spread that all over the farms.
Let's shut it down for.
It's disgusting.
It's insane.
But it doesn't matter, right?
There's no attachment to reality anymore.
It's just these excuses and pretenses.
And the more ridiculous they are, like don't wear face masks, now wear face masks, the more insane their demands are, the further enslaved the population is.
Because a person who's doing something they know is irrational, Just because they're told has just given up all self-respect.
That is a doubly enslaved person.
But you're right.
They're shutting down the food supply right now.
It's also astonishing when you think about, you know, okay, maybe that makes sense.
Maybe we should protect farm workers, which is, of course, the pretense.
It's farm worker protections.
It's to keep the workers and the meat plants safe.
But somehow that's all done without even acknowledging that Amazon distribution centers are working just fine.
I'm able to go to Walmart and walk around just fine.
None of this applies anywhere other than the food system that they want to shut down.
So yeah, there's no actual logic here.
It's just the agenda.
No, I mean, their logic is insane, as you said.
They'll say, well, 5,000 Black Lives Matter protesters can walk down the street, and they can protest, and that's fine.
And most of those are white people, by the way.
But if that group happened to stop and pick some strawberries, then suddenly that would be a disaster.
Exactly right, yeah.
It's just something.
No, it's insane.
Okay, let me ask you about, I don't know if you're making any specific predictions, but I'd like to get your sense of where this is headed, because we already have the food bank lines across America.
You've got thousands of families lined up in car lanes to collect food.
Well, you know...
Presumably it's food.
It's probably just processed crap for the most part that they're getting.
I'm not sure I would call it food.
But they're lining up to get calories, let's say, processed calories.
How bad is this going to get this year?
I mean, when are people going to see the next wave of real shortages in the grocery stores?
Or is it just going to be in massive food inflation where it's unaffordable?
How do you think this is going to play out this year?
Well, we're already seeing massive food inflation, so that's a given.
And then I think to answer that question, we can do so best by looking back at what they have told us themselves.
Five years ago, there was one of these simulations, much like Event 201 was a simulation that they happened to foresee that a coronavirus might get out and how would the global governments work together.
Five years ago, John Podesta at the Center for American Progress hosted a food chain reaction game event.
And that game projected that in five years, in the year 2020, following a pandemic pandemic, Those gorilla gardeners, yeah.
So they've laid out this script that we now find ourselves walking.
And as far as what my predictions are, yeah, I do think that, I mean, the food prices are already rising.
I think that they will engineer limited collapse of the food supply because if they completely collapse everything, and as we know, it goes Mad Max style and everyone loses control, and nobody wants that.
What they want is people to feel just enough pain to not be able to get their burgers at Wendy's, as it was happening earlier in the summer, that they're made aware of these problems so that they can continue with the problem-reaction-solution dialectic.
But especially in the U.S. right now, I do think there's a lot of rumors, I don't know if you've heard these, about a brucellosis injection into our food supply, a deliberate tainting of the food, which would...
I haven't been able to substantiate these rumors, although it would presumably be hard to do so in advance of it.
But when you look back at the predictive programming, the media has been pummeling us with story after story about COVID-19 found on frozen shrimp.
Just today, COVID-19 can exist on salmon for a week.
Meat is dirty and tainted and it's a barbarous relic from the past and we really have to put this down.
The next pandemic will emerge from poultry farms and kill half of humanity.
I mean, it's relentless.
The way that they are conflating food and meat, especially with pandemics.
And I do think that a number of their agendas would be served by a food false flag within the next couple of months here from creating that second wave that Bill Gates called pandemic too, right?
They've been pretty open about this next wave that we're entering into.
And I think that's something we need to keep our eye on.
Well, a lot of the food-producing regions of the country are under the control of Democrats who appear to be, dare I say, enemies of America.
The way Newsom operates is as if he wants to damage this country as much as possible.
And much the same is true with Governor Brown in Oregon and Governor Inslee in Washington State.
That's a lot of big food-producing regions.
Thankfully, I live in Texas.
We produce a lot of food in Texas, and we have Governor Abbott.
It sounds like you're in California, is that correct?
I am right now.
Does that mean it's temporary?
We'll see, yeah.
Okay, alright.
Maybe I'm pushing too far on that, but I don't know where you are in California, but try not to be anywhere close to the cities.
By the way, you know, I originally saw your videos on Brighteon.
Do you have a Brighteon channel yet?
I do.
I have left it behind at the moment.
Okay.
Well, keep posting there, and I will tell my editorial staff to cover your videos as you post them there, because we really...
You know, your videos, the quality of your ideas, and the strength of your arguments, that's exactly what we really want on Brighttown as a platform.
So please keep posting there, and I'll direct my staff to pay attention to that.
We've also just launched Brighttown.social.
So it's a Twitter alternative.
And if you want to use that, grab your name, Ice Age Farmer, there, and just start posting social media.
That's in beta, but it's...
We're trying...
We're fighting hard to create alternative platforms where people can openly discuss ideas like we are doing here.
I've been deplatformed from YouTube for years, and eventually you will be too, no doubt, because you're intelligent.
That's not allowed.
Well, thank you for that.
I'll check into it, yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Now, if you talk more like Cardi B, then you'd be a hero on YouTube.
You know what I mean?
Very little resistance there, yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I mean, you'd be like a super celebrity or whatever.
Okay, um...
One of the last questions I want to ask you then is the social engineering around food.
What types of things do you think they will demand of people to get the – eventually what's going to become, I think, more nationwide food cards or food stamp cards – Could they require people to be vaccinated to get their food credits?
Could you be required to not speak out against Democrats, let's say, in order to get your food card?
Or what if you quoted Bible scripture?
Then maybe they would reduce your food allotment and so on.
Do you think these types of things might be put in place because the system is already kind of really trying to control people's thoughts and speech?
Yeah, I think everything is certainly moving in the direction you're suggesting.
I think it'll take a little while longer before they say this kind of, you know, you can't talk like a Democrat, because it seems like a very obviously superficially partisan thing.
And people, the social engineering will need to be more subtle than that.
Look more like at China right now, right, with the way that they are Encouraging people to serve smaller serving sizes.
In fact, the Clean Your Plate initiative said that if you and a group of four friends go out to eat, that you can't order five plates anymore.
Mike, that's gluttonous and you should be ashamed of yourself.
You should only order four plates for the five people of you.
It's called the N-1 rule because you can't order plates for everyone at the table anymore.
And I just find that's a stunning example of how they will be harassed Hurting people away from the patterns of the past and into this idea of food scarcity, into this artificial scarcity.
There are also pictures of this restaurant in the Philippines that has erected these, it's like sets of jail bars of different widths.
And if you can squeeze into the very narrow bars, if you're so skinny that you can fit through there, then you can get free food.
Otherwise, if you can fit through the somewhat skinny bars, you'll get a 20% discount.
But if you can't fit through the bars at all, you've got to pay full price.
And it only takes a moment of reflection to realize that, in fact, this is the implementation of the fat tax that we've heard about before.
It's just that that didn't really fly because, you know, you don't want to be fat shaming.
That's another part of the agenda that's sort of conflicted there.
So we had to rethink this one.
And now, instead, it's a skinny discount.
Functionally equivalent to a fact tax, but somehow more politically correct.
We can get away with that one.
And so, yeah, you can see that they are moving people in the direction of thinking totally differently about food.
Yeah, well, if they try the China rule, the N-1 rule in the United States, number one, that won't work because nobody can do four-fifths fractionation calculations in America.
Even N-1 is probably considered racist by the professors at Harvard who say that math and science are racist, so that would never fly.
As far as the bars go, I'm just wondering how many people would end up stuck in those bars trying to get a free meal.
It's like, pull my leg out, I'm stuck in here!
You know, there'd be lawsuits over that.
But no kidding, there does seem to be, even already, a lot of programming around the alternative artificial meat companies to say, oh, this is green, this is environmentally friendly, when a lot of it's actually made from GMOs.
And, you know, crazy MSG type of ingredients and, you know, products sourced from very far away with a lot of road miles on them and so on where, you know, if you just like butchered a local cow, you know, once a year, that would actually be cleaner food by far, you know?
But there is all this brainwashing right now.
To put us onto this heavily processed food that they're calling meat that I can't even touch that stuff.
It's gross.
And it's full of toxic chemicals.
It's gross, man.
And then they're going to feed us crickets on top of that, too.
And maybe each other.
Who knows?
Yep.
And you should be proud for doing your part to save the Earth.
And the most concerning part is that you see the USDA actually, again, under the guise of, well, COVID-19, it's an emergency.
We're going to drop our labeling requirements.
And as long as you substitute in ingredients that have more or less the same amount of protein and fat, then it's pretty much okay.
And people with food allergies are freaking out, right?
Because obviously they need to know.
That's the whole point of a food label is you know it's in your food.
But the USDA has already, like as of now, has relaxed those requirements.
And so you can lie legally on your food labels.
This is a law professor at Harvard, not just some environmental professor.
A law professor from Harvard wrote to where they, by the way, have a lot of staff working on artificially lab-grown meat, all these projects.
So one of these law professors wrote to the USDA and petitioned for the ability to say that lab-grown meat Just label it beef.
Just call it chicken, whatever it is that you do in your lab.
And it stuns me that these people have no ethical problem with the idea that just because in their laboratory they have been able to advance their facsimile of meat to the point where people can't tell, That somehow means that it's now all right to lie to them and tell them that it's meat.
It's a very deceptive practice that they don't seem to have a problem with.
And so the idea that we could be going to the store and buying what we think is beef, what's labeled beef, what they're actually claiming and certifying is beef, but was really just pea protein with some dyes added in.
It's a pretty crazy thought.
Well, let me share a couple of things with you here because, you know, I'm in the food industry.
We're audited by the USDA. We are surprised and inspected by the FDA and the state of Texas.
Let me tell you something that I think is going to shock the viewers.
Never once in all the years of the Health Ranger store business and food manufacturing and everything, never once has any government authority ever checked to see if our ingredients label was accurate.
Not once.
Never happened.
Now, they'll come and sample foods.
The FDA will sample foods and then they'll say, oh, you've got to quarantine that.
For two weeks while we do the tests.
And you know, they're running tests for heavy metals, maybe E. coli, who knows.
But we do all those tests in advance anyway, so we already know the answer.
And then a couple weeks later they say, okay, yeah, you can sell that food, it's okay now.
They have never audited ingredients labels.
So I think that across the industry, companies can put anything they want on their labels.
Nobody's checking.
Nobody's checking.
And the USDA doesn't test organic foods for heavy metals.
Did you know that?
There's no test.
In fact, the USDA doesn't test foods for pesticides that are certified organic.
There's no test...
The organic certification is only certifying a process of the inputs into a farm.
They don't test the final result.
Never happens.
There are no pesticide tests for organic produce.
Zero.
Did you know that?
That's pretty amazing.
It really does underline the fact that these people are not actually there to protect consumers or people in any way.
It is a regulation game, it is a power seize, and they have been establishing this structure that they're now really using to shut down farms and producers altogether.
Well, it's just shocking.
I want to ask you though, before we wrap this up, Ice Age Farmer, so what's really the motivation behind that name that you've chosen?
Yeah, I neglected to mention that earlier.
So when you look at the natural cycles of the sun and the fact that there are colder times and that we are going into one of those right now, the genesis of my YouTube channel was really, okay, so if that's going to happen, we should be talking about that and we should figure out how we're going to grow food in more resilient ways.
And that was really where the conversation started and it has evolved as I looked more deeply into the The food industry and the agendas behind it at play here and the attack, the deliberate conscious attack on our food systems to take control.
It's been a ride.
Yeah, well, speaking of a ride, how about, you know, as you gain popularity, you're going to attract more and more attacks from the food deep state, we might say.
You know, the evil actors out there, the black hat operations will target you, you know, for malicious smear campaigns and so on.
I remember, for example, Food Babe, when she first arrived on the scene, and she was talking about, you know, yoga mat chemicals in Subway bread.
At the Subway restaurants.
And mainstream media would cover her stories nationwide.
They made her very famous.
The minute she started talking about GMOs, oh, everything turned against her.
It was like overnight, like flipping a switch.
Suddenly she was the enemy of humanity, and her Wikipedia page changed, and suddenly she's a horrible, quack science person.
So are you ready for the full force of the attacks that are coming?
No.
I was born ready, Mike.
I didn't go into this under any pretenses or certainly not to get popularity.
This is not the point.
The point is to put out the red alert about the attack on our food system.
And while I have encountered some friction from...
Leave it there...
I've gotten even more of people within the system reaching out and saying, you know, thank God you're talking about this.
Here's some information.
I've been working here and I've seen this and I didn't know where to take it.
And that has been really inspiring because at the end of the day, while it seems like we are fighting these massive multinational companies with infinite resources, the reality is that inside those companies comprise people and those people have consciousness, you And so I really feel like there are opportunities here that humanity has to overcome what seem like tremendously insurmountable challenges as we all just start doing the right thing.
Well, you hear that, folks?
All of you out there working for Procter& Gamble or Kellogg's, contact Ice Age Farmer here.
Be a whistleblower.
Go on the record with you.
And by the way, I think your voice is really important, and I want to thank you for taking the time to join us today.
I'm actually just really excited to be able to talk with you today.
You made my day.
And watching your videos is very inspiring to me.
I think, you know, more people should join you and I in sounding the alarm because without food we have no civilization, folks.
It's a basic thing.
You've got to have food sustainability.
And we are headed in the direction of a food collapse, an engineered food collapse.
And folks, it's people like Christian here, Ice Age Farmer, and to some extent myself and others, we're trying to warn you about this.
So let me just mention your website, iceagefarmer.com, and tell us what you have there at your site for people.
Yeah, so iceagefarmer.com is a place where you can find each report as I post them.
They're linked right now to YouTube, but in the event that YouTube pulls me down, then those will be flipped over to bitshoot or lbry.tv.
I've got a few different mirrors just anticipating that YouTube will cut the service at some point.
Yes, that's probably accurate.
There's a few different resources up there as well, wiki.iceagefarmer.com, which as I mentioned has some history about the previous Grand Solar Minima and how that played out because it's really important to look at how it happened before because that informs what we can expect, at least from nature and its effects on agriculture this time.
And then from that we can sort of project how the cryptocracy is going to use it to further their agendas.
And yeah, if you want to reach out to me, please do so at iceagefarmer at protonmail.com.
Oh, there we go.
IsaiahFarmer at ProtonMail.com.
Well, thank you so much, Christian.
It's really been an honor to be able to interview you today.
Thank you for your thoughts and your work, and I hope that you really continue with the passion and intelligence that you have demonstrated here today.
And look, I'm a fan of yours.
I'll help promote your videos in any way I can.
And if you've got breaking news, you want to come on and talk about it with me, just reach out to my producer and we'll set it up, okay?
I sure will, and I appreciate that, Mike.
Thanks so much again for having me on.
Well, thank you so much.
Yeah, thanks for joining me.
Well, that's the interview, folks.
Again, thank you for all your support.
Share this video everywhere that you can.
Visit Christian's website, IceAgeFarmer.com.
We'll put it on the screen for you as well.
And continue to post all your videos, folks, to BrightTown.com.
We love more videos about food and food freedom.
The site is kind of politics heavy right now.
We'd really love to have more about food and health, okay?
And gardening and food self-reliance, by the way.
That's what we really need to be teaching.
Seed saving, you know, pH alterations of your soil, things like that.
How to get rid of aphids and white flies without using toxic pesticide chemicals on your home garden.
All those kinds of things, your practical how-to knowledge.
We love that stuff.
So feel free to post it on brighteon.com.
Thank you for joining me today.
