welcome everyone to Brighton conversations Today we have just an awesome guest.
I consider him a rock star.
He is called the Ice Age Farmer and he joins us to talk about engineered food scarcity and he has been one of the top educators out there all over, well everywhere that he's not banned.
Because the bands are happening.
But he's on Telegram.
His username there is Ice Age Farmer.
And he's also got his website, IceAgeFarmer.com.
And he has got a ton of information to share with us today.
Christian, thank you for joining me.
It's really an honor to have you on again.
Thanks, Mike.
I'm glad to be back.
Well, your work is really impressive.
I've been listening to your videos, following your work, and you just have such a detailed analysis of what's going on with the food supply.
I know it's a lot to get into, but if you could summarize it right now.
And by the way, I hear roosters in your background and in my background.
This is crazy.
Our roosters are talking to each other.
I've got roosters, too.
I can never get them to shut up during interviews.
He was calm until we hit record, so that's just the way it goes.
I know, that's what happens to me.
Like, they hear my voice, and then they're like, I've got to chime in, right?
So, anyway, sorry, but what's the summary of the food scarcity situation going on?
Like, where do we even begin to understand this?
Yeah, it is a huge question.
First of all, I heard you mention engineered food shortages on Alex just a couple days ago.
So thank you for getting those words out there.
I maintain this is one of the most important conversations we can have.
And I'm glad that that phrase and these concepts are getting out there.
I went back, Mike, to our last conversation just to get a sense of what we had covered and where we left off.
And also because I took a fair bit of heat about, and I know these are words that are familiar to you as well, about being a fear monger and peddling doom and these sorts of things.
It is now, in retrospect, pretty astonishing that it has played out pretty much exactly as we were describing, anticipating a grains shortage because USDA was chronically overreporting yields and underreporting losses.
We've had that day of reckoning now over the last five months here where the USDA has each month come out with an estimate that said, actually, we didn't have as many grains as we told you we did last month, and they just keep retroactively adjusting those ending stocks.
And so we've seen that exactly what we was describing was true.
And that happened even as China continued to just extract out the substance of our country, taking record deliveries of grain and soybeans.
And just to quantify that, when I say record, I don't just mean, you know, it was higher than it usually is.
I mean, literally looking at a year's worth of corn from any previous year's record within a single week in the last couple months here.
So it's off the charts.
It's obvious that there's something seismic and fundamental going on to the world food supply right now.
Other countries have started taking steps to protect their own food supplies.
You know, Brazil pretty much sold their entire soybean crop to China, but has now started to try and import them from Argentina, which is causing Argentina to say, we're probably going to raise our tariffs on this stuff.
We don't want you to eat out, you know, we're trying to control our domestic prices here.
So we're going to raise taxes there.
Ukraine and Russia, actually Russia just yesterday again raised the duties on wheat exports.
So other countries are instituting these measures, trying to either tax more aggressively or just flat out cap, put limits on the amount of grains that they're willing to share with the rest of the world.
And just to quickly qualify that, you know, the countries we just named that were doing that, Brazil, Argentina, Russia, Ukraine, these are the breadbasket countries of the world.
These are the exporters.
And when they start limiting their exports, the importing countries, you know, you can imagine, don't, they don't get food.
And there were some amazing quotes and Turkmenistan next door was saying, you know, if we don't get these grains from Ukraine, you're effectively dooming us to starvation.
And you don't see those words in mainstream media reports between diplomats frequently.
You're dooming us to starvation.
And there were then reports that Turkmenistan had to send out police agents with government agencies to try and make sure that the farmers who were harvesting their grains were making sure to give them deliveries to the government.
So it's really gotten pretty dicey in the areas of the world that depend on those imports from the breadbaskets as they start to shut down.
But again, you can see that this has all played out.
Now we are sitting at eight-year highs for corn and soybean prices.
China and Brazil have both announced initiatives to try and reformulate their animal feed using something other than corn and soybeans, which is probably nutritionally a great idea.
But in this context, what it communicates is that they're not able to get those things.
It's not economically feasible, so it's not for dollars.
It's not for money that they're doing that.
It's because they can't get the corn and soybeans to make animal feed.
So, yes, the food prices for humans also, not just animal feed, rising ridiculously, and that's ending animal agriculture for a lot of ranchers across the world.
But food prices, too, are rising, and this is something almost anyone seeing this broadcast is already experiencing when you go to the grocery store.
And you see especially meat and poultry prices just have really risen over the first part of this year.
And this is why, of course, because we're feeling it now, the White House had to come out a few weeks ago and put out that little announcement about inflation.
Oh, don't pay no attention to that inflation behind the curtain, trying to make the case that it was all baseline effects because we shut down last year.
And so it's going to seem like there's a little more.
It's just numbers.
Don't worry about it.
And all the mainstream media ran with that story.
But the reality is that, no, we've printed more dollars than one could even imagine was possible just within the last year to fight this war on COVID.
And so we're now facing a situation where there's a legitimate commodity shortage.
We are looking at a hyperinflationary setup, having printed all these dollars in other countries around the world saying, maybe we don't want to do business.
I think Russia just said, we don't want to do business with all these settlements in USD anymore.
So countries are jumping ship.
And that means that all those dollars, all that inflation only has one place to come.
And that's here, back home to roost.
And so we're experiencing that.
And then, of course, this is a supply chain crisis as well.
And this was not yet completely in view as much.
And we'd seen some disturbances here.
Food deliveries had been faltering, and you could sort of see the picturing appearing.
But they've taken what was initially just some shocks to the supply chain and disturbances here and people staying home because of COVID or whatever factory is shutting down.
All of that caused a lot of problems, but it really wasn't...
Until they just started taking this thing out and heating it.
And by that I mean, you know, obviously metaphorically, they shut down the Texas grid for a while.
They jammed a ship.
I think this is all deliberate.
They jammed a ship in the Suez Canal.
There's a container shortage where people aren't able to get the containers they need to move goods and services around the world.
And we can talk all day about how, you know, what we've built here, this is the case not just for agriculture and like the CAFOs where no one in their right mind would advocate that we shove animals into a very small amount of space and feed them antibiotics.
Nobody wants that.
But they created that system.
They acquired Tyson, etc., acquired all the family farms and then imposed these conditions.
And now they're stepping back and putting the camera on it and pointing at it, this straw man, this disgusting thing that they created and saying, sorry guys, This is terrible.
You're not allowed to keep animals anymore, right?
They're trying to take your ability to feed your family away because of pointing at their own creation.
Well, the same thing is happening over on the shipping side where we've got this ridiculous situation where meat can be raised in the United States and then it's frozen and shipped to China to be cut up.
In some cases then it's frozen again and shipped somewhere else to be breaded and fried and then comes back to be on our shelves.
Like the idea of shipping an animal, and this is true for any part, these value added parts across the globalized supply chain.
So you can make the case, I would agree with you actually, that it does make sense what we've done, that we've built this incredibly interconnected global economy where we have to move goods and services in little pieces around on these shipping containers and suddenly we can't get the shipping containers and it's all falling apart.
So the confluence of these three things, hyperinflation setup, legitimate commodity shortage, and then shipping, just catastrophe.
We've got a line of ships 20 plus deep waiting to dock on the west port and the ports on the west coast.
The confluence of these three things is...
Exactly.
And that's not even to get into the things that are going on socially and politically here in terms of the Rwanda-style race war, the Yugoslavian-style trying to divide the country.
And so, yeah, it's very incendiary, the entire situation right now.
Alright, so let me ask you this.
What are the main factors that you think are contributing to the collapse of supply of these key grains?
I mean, is it COVID shutdowns?
Is it price of raw materials that go into that?
Is it labor shortages?
What's going on?
And it's not just in America, as you said, it's around the world.
But what are the main factors you think?
Yes.
I mean, we spoke a lot last time about the grand solar minimum and how there are natural cycles affecting crop production.
And I think you can't understate the effect that that's having.
There's lots of crop losses around the world that are happening due to a precipitative extremes, the shortening of the growing season on both sides of the farm.
We just saw France lost their entire grape crop very recently because of frost there.
We had snow.
In fact, right now we're having cold temperatures throughout the corn belt.
That's part of the reason why corn and soybean prices are inching up is because We've now seen tremendous crop failures, again, due to the precipitative extremes in Brazil, that delayed the harvesting of soybeans.
And that meant that their third crop, their saffrona crop, it's called, of corn, didn't get planted during its optimum window.
And so again, they said, well, maybe it's going to work.
And then again, each week they come out, it's just another double digits drop in the health of that crop.
And so as that happens, and as the cold temperatures linger in the U.S., analysts are saying, you know, we're not finding the relief to get back to pipeline levels.
And we've been, as we've covered, we've been below pipeline levels of these grains for some time.
Whether or not the USDA admitted it then or only in the last six months now, that's been the case.
So, and then I think it would be remiss not to say that there's absolutely weather warfare going on, right?
The derecho and some of the losses in China were so pronounced and with such a mathematical precision through the exact routes of where the maximum of grain is usually produced.
But who do you think is behind the weather warfare on China?
Sure.
So I think they are doing the same thing there.
They are trying to engineer food scarcity and make the case that farming and ranching just doesn't work anymore.
It's dirty and antiquated, and we've got to move to the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
This is all part of that larger agenda that we've talked about so much, about moving to a post-human world, a transhumanist world.
Eliminating humans from the entire supply chain and divorcing them from nature, fundamentally locking them into smart cities, making sure that the food supply we're being fed is artificially created, is embedded with these nano dust or spores, with something that they can use to track that commodity from its point of genesis in the GMO world.
You know, CRISPR-modified vat of cell-cultured meat all the way through you.
And then, you know, it's not just the Internet of Things.
Now it's the Internet of Bodies.
So you can expect your food to be communicating with you and then ultimately with the smart sewers underneath you as it passes through.
And it's a really disturbing way to sort of phrase this whole thing.
But that is exactly the level of fidelity that the beast system requires and is architected.
And they're just implementing that now.
So that's a sort of a roundabout answer there.
But yeah.
Yeah, that's a lot of shocking detail.
But just to circle back on that, who would want to crush China's crop production?
And who has the technology to use weather weapons in order to do that?
We can call it the powers that shouldn't be.
Catherine Austin Fitts likes to say Mr.
Globalist.
I think there are many names for the cryptocracy, but it's clear that they're working in overdrive right now, having called now for the decade of action up to 2030.
All these goals aligning around that date, this key date that happens to be right as solar cycle 25 completes, which is already a small solar cycle in terms of the number of solar activity, the amount of sunspots.
And then we're supposed to, we're projected to then enter into that Maunder style minimum where solar activity just drops off and situations in terms of the growing conditions like we've been talking about, the precipitative extremes, the less stable growing conditions.
But also, Mike, in terms of seismic and volcanic activity, all of these things are supposed to really come home to roost around that key date of 2030, which is why I would suggest that Mr.
Globalist, or they, or whatever you want to say here, They're working against the deadline.
It's not them that have just arbitrarily chosen this.
And that's why their actions sometimes seem, you know, even against their own interests in terms of being so rushed.
But they've got a hard deadline here and they're working to hit it.
Now, there's a question I've been wanting to ask you.
I think many viewers will want to ask you as well.
On a personal level, You're fully aware of what's happening here.
What are you doing to increase your own food self-reliance and food sustainability?
What kinds of specific actions are you taking to survive the scarcity?
Yeah, it's a fantastic question and thank you.
I've absolutely been trying to get off the system, stop depending.
It's actually the same answer for everything, even when you look at just as food.
These are systems that are toxic anyway.
If you look at GMO foods and all the stuff you can buy, by and large, the stuff you get at the store is just not good for you anymore.
So it's for a long time been a good idea to start growing your own food.
But now it's the case that there's a controlled demolition of food and the energy system.
We talked about the grid being increasingly unreliable, and we can talk about the cyber pandemic that they're promising us approaching as well.
But these are broken, brittle systems, and more to the point, they're now being attacked so that they can beat people into submission and push forward this technocratic agenda upon them.
So the name of the game is to stop depending on those systems.
And yes, to that end, even when I still lived in the city, I started looking at growing methods that you can do in small spaces.
You can talk about farming insects.
I tried crickets, but they were quite loud.
I would actually recommend mealworms because they're quieter, and your wife might appreciate that.
But aquaponics is a very elegant, self-contained solution where even in a small amount of space, you can grow a nice amount of leafy greens, which is a great way to supplement whatever you can get from the stores.
And then ultimately, yeah, I did.
Of course, I left the city when I was able.
And I've been adding as much food production systems as I can climb the learning curves for it.
Because there are absolutely learning curves to be climbed for every animal you add to your operation.
for every different kind of growing setup you're pursuing.
One of the main places I always want to tell people to start is look at the five principles of soil health, of good soil husbandry, because it all scales, right?
If you're talking about your shelf in the kitchen, that kind of an herb garden to containers of soil on top of your RV, but scaled all the way up to a massive farm operation, Those five principles of soil husbandry all have to do with just creating an environment where the life in the soil can just take off and thrive.
So you want to keep it covered at all times.
you want to keep a plant alive even in the winter, a cover crop, something in the ground, because plants are just these little solar panels that are taking the sun's energy and feeding it down into your soil life.
And that's the name of the game.
It's called exodus.
It's like this sugary stuff that they take the energy of the sun and they feed it down.
So you want to cover it up, don't till it, don't disturb it.
Keep a living plant in the ground at all times, feeding energy into the soil.
And integrating animals is one of these five principles of good soil husbandry, which is another reason why they're so keen on ending animal agriculture.
Yeah, I'm going to ask you about that.
Yeah.
So anyway, it's just a good place to start because it works at all scales.
And really, when you've got just really good, filthy soils, just robust stuff, it's teeming with life and worms, and you put a seed in there, you almost can't help but get a really nice crop.
So it's a good place to start.
Yeah, I have rarely seen a successful, sustainable, natural food production system that did not use animals in some way, even just to create fertilizer for the crops.
But I've got to ask you, you mentioned crickets and mealworms.
Was it your intention to eat these, or what were you raising them for?
Absolutely, I sure did.
I tried some crickets, a little bit of butter, a little bit of garlic.
Actually, they were fantastic.
They are enjoyed in parts of the world.
Yes, I'm willing to consider any methods of protein consumption.
I'm also not going to speak ill of it until I've tried it, because my beef, so to speak, with the crickets, It's not that I am ideologically opposed to eating bugs or really to eating anything.
I think it should be your choice.
I think we should have the ability to raise animals and eat them if we choose, including crickets.
But eliminating our free choice, telling us that animals are filthy and a thing of the past is problematic for me.
Yeah, I agree.
And many people watching this might say, well...
Gosh, the United Nations is pushing, you know, eating crickets and moving people over to an insect diet.
But for them, that's just a tactic to get rid of animal farming, whereas you are just exploring all available options, it sounds like.
But how do you eat mealworms?
I mean, what do you do?
You pan fry them?
You have like a mealworm omelet?
I've never tried that.
What do you do with mealworms?
So I haven't personally tried the mealworms yet.
But yeah, my understanding is you cook them up pretty much the same way as the crickets and pretty much just what you would do with any little crispy protein.
Put them in with some oil and sort of saute them with some garlic.
I imagine they're delicious.
But the mealworms are also really good supplemental protein for chickens.
So that's why I was adding mealworms to my operation here.
Oh, that's a good point, yes.
Looking for things that you can, you know, this ties back to your question of how am I handling it.
It's looking for how do I produce more, but not just in an additive way, because I don't have time to keep adding more systems and then trying to tend to them.
And I've cut out a lot of things, like I had spirulina early on, but it took a lot of work.
Sure.
To maintain this culture of little cyanobacteria and then filter it out just to get a little smudge of protein.
You can do it.
It works.
It just wasn't give me the return I needed for the investment.
And what I'm looking for when I add, you know, chickens to my operation is that, yes, I get the eggs from them, but they're also producing manure, which goes back into the garden.
Then I add bees because they're like working with me out in the fields when I'm working, you know, Pruning trees and I just see them out going from flower to flower in the trees.
It feels like I've got a little army of worker bees with me.
So these things that add not just more work but are a synergistic effect get into this virtuous cycle of investing into your food production are all really good.
I think you understand also from what you're saying that good food production is about energy management.
You're really monitoring and you're shifting energy.
It goes into the mealworms, and then the mealworms go into the chickens, and then the chickens produce other outputs.
All the energy starts with sunlight or maybe external inputs if you have food compost from groceries or something, but it's all energy going into the system.
If you don't know how to manage energy, you will starve on that system.
I think what a lot of people don't realize is it's hard.
To grow your own diet.
I think most people would die if they had to grow their own diet.
Most of modern people.
Not maybe 100 years ago.
But it's a lot of work.
And even when I lived in Ecuador, I was growing up to 70% of my diet, but I had help with labor.
Here in the States, I think I may be only growing 20-25% of my diet right now, and that's not easy either.
What's your goal?
To be 100% off-grid or 50% or what are you aiming for?
I mean, yeah, I think the better...
We should all have this goal of maximizing as much as we can do.
And I would...
This is a good time to say, because I'd sort of hinted, it's not just food.
And especially when we're looking at a hyperinflationary setup here, there's no way to...
The only way, I should say, to get ahead of that.
Like some people say, well, if you go way into debt, then you're spending money that will be cheap.
Like maybe, but you're going way into debt.
I don't know.
It's the only way to really...
Get ahead of this is to move from a model of being a consumer to being a model where you're a producer, where you are producing your own food.
You're not going out and working for dollars for some job and then coming home or going to the store and finding that actually you can't even afford the bread you were hoping to buy that morning because it's already gone up.
We've heard these stories from Weimar and the buckets of cash.
That's not where we want to end up.
But if you are, you know, it looks like that with lumber right now.
Lumber, from one day to the next, they get a new price list and they're laughing at it and it's not funny from my perspective.
It's really getting ridiculous.
So how do you, you know, it's the same conversation we just had with food, but now you apply it to everything that we're, you know, that it's going to be affected by a collapse of the supply chain.
In a hyperinflationary scenario.
How do you get ahead of that with lumber?
Well, you can maybe buy some advance and stack it and it doesn't really store that well.
Or you invest the capital that you do have right now into a wood mill and you become someone who can produce that for your neighbors.
When they realize, oh, I need a compost bin, right?
As they start to realize they need to be moving to producers as well.
You can be there with your wood mill and help them to make that transition because they're going to need tools and equipment and new structures and all that.
And if they go to the hardware store and there isn't any lumber or it's $500 a sheet, it's not practicable to then make the transition to being self-sustaining.
So I think anyone has awareness, anyone that's watching this conversation and wants to try and get ahead of this situation should be rapidly deploying their capital in ways that makes them, positions them on the producer side of this whole equation.
That is key.
Yeah.
So medicines, you can have an herbal garden and learn to make tinctures.
You can get ahead of it on producing clothes and repairing car parts.
You can get a 3D printer and load up on plastic resins if you can still find it.
I know we're short there too already.
Because then as there are, you know, people's things break down or they need, again, they need to build new systems.
You can be there to produce parts that we're just simply not able to procure from a broken supply chain anymore.
So apply that thinking, that model to anything.
If I can't get stuff at this store, what is it that I will wish I have?
Go invest in that now.
If you're going to need it in the next year, get it now.
If you're going to need it long term, figure out how to make it now because this is where we are right now.
You really nailed the key point here, I think, which is to be a producer, not a consumer, or to change that ratio in your favor.
And even rainwater harvesting is essentially being a producer of drinkable water, or at least a catcher of it.
Everything from food and lumber, and you're absolutely right.
Right now, investing in a lumber mill, a home lumber mill, I've seen some that you can just mount like a circular saw onto their device, and you can make your own 2x4s, and probably they're even better than the store bought 2x4s if you're using You know, some harder woods and so on.
So yeah, become a producer.
But now part of that, of course, is also under attack.
I want to ask you about this.
There is a ballot initiative in Oregon that is hoping to outlaw any kind of animal slaughter or animal husbandry practices such as insemination or castrating a bull, for example.
But they want to make it, I think, a felony crime to slaughter a chicken to eat the chicken.
This is not just an attack on ranching, but this is an attack on homesteaders who need those sources of food in order to survive.
What are your thoughts on that ballot initiative, and do you think it has any chance of passing?
I would certainly hope not.
I think that one still is, you know, the language there is still a little too extreme, even in Oregon, for it to get by.
And there's a lot of good people in Oregon and a lot of industry that still depends on that.
So they would need at least to massage that language heavily to carve out exceptions.
But we can just look at the direction, right, at the direction they're heading here, because certainly they're trending and they're going to start with the, if you will, the low-hanging fruit of these states like Oregon, California, Washington.
Colorado, in fact, has an initiative called the PAWS Act, which does look like it's gained some traction here.
And in a similar fashion, the way that the Livestock Association there puts it is, this criminalizes our job.
We can't do basic animal husbandry as we've always done it.
Veterinary and improved practices are now being outlawed, yes, with criminal penalties.
And so, yeah, these are indicative of the way that they're going to be chipping away at animal agriculture.
It is that stated goal.
We've heard it from the CEO of Impossible Foods, who wears his No Cows t-shirt.
Pat Brown, who's heavily funded by Bill Gates, who's out here saying we should all be eating 100% beef, even as he funds the fake meat and says, I'm going to make a million dollars off that.
So yeah, we need to understand and appreciate that there is absolutely a war on our ability to feed our families, and that is both at the meat level, like we're saying, they want to shut down farming and ranching completely.
In fact, it's not just the meat.
We're also seeing this happen on the farm side.
So vegans and vegetarians don't need to feel, you know, snooty and sanctimonious here.
This is going to affect you, too.
We just saw the FDA ruled that there was a recent E. coli outbreak on a farm on the West Coast here.
And they said, well, actually, they cited some regulatory language and said a clause that looks like this would be a reasonably foreseeable outbreak, and therefore you're not eligible for, you know, this and this insurance treatment.
Because your lettuce is being grown next to a field that has cows in it.
It sounds sort of innocuous or maybe not a big deal, but this is a directly now, we're making this equivalence.
Growing food outdoors, especially growing it near animals, it's dirty and it's dangerous, and any reasonable person wouldn't do that anymore.
That's their message.
Say that again?
That's their message.
Yes, absolutely.
I don't want anybody to quote you out of context.
That's you quoting their thinking.
Yeah, and it is a theme that is pervasive right now.
It even ties back.
You can see it instilled in the entire COVID narrative.
That's why they've clung, despite all odds and evidence, to this idea that it came from a meat market and it's because of food.
They're tying the pandemic to food and food systems.
Fauci himself put out that paper last summer that said, Well, you know, the abstract was like, if you look back at where pandemics actually began, it was when mankind started domesticating animals and raising crops.
So even Fauci is making this idea out there that farming and ranching is the genesis of our problem here.
And they're going to, yeah, that's part of their agenda.
So, now, on top of this, this attack on ranching practices, and by the way, the insanity of that is just off the charts.
If that law passes, or the ballot initiative in Oregon, if it becomes law, it says you can only harvest meat from an animal that died of natural causes, like cancer, for example.
So, you would have old cancerous cows expiring.
Who would want to eat that meat?
Number one, it would be a $100 cancer burger It'd be so expensive, and it would be the worst meat quality ever.
So that's one aspect of this.
But then, I mean, it might make roadkill look pretty darn good at that point, you know?
Just harvesting roadkill would be the freshest meat that you could get.
And some people do that right now.
But...
What about then the fact that they're trying to bring in the Green New Deal attack on combustion engines?
And, of course, all farming operations that operate on any scale, even small-scale ranching, every farmer has a tractor.
The tractor has a combustion engine.
There are no batteries that power those tractors, and a farmer needs a tractor for lots of reasons.
Moving dirt, fixing roads and pathways, moving like a water tank for the cows, moving that around, or sometimes dragging off a cow that died giving birth.
You know, that happens.
I live around cows in Texas.
Sometimes they die, and you've got to move them.
So you need tools, but they're trying to outlaw those tools as well.
They sure are.
Yeah.
And that's part of the zero carbon agenda that is a takeover of every aspect of human activity and economic activity on the planet.
It's appalling.
Food is absolutely a vector in that whole equation.
And that's part of the reason that they're saying that beef needs to be going first.
You probably saw some of the media around, you know, just this week, Biden was out there at the climate conference.
Saying that committing the U.S. to a lot of these same carbon emissions goals that would indicate that, yeah, people are going to have to be forced onto electric cars.
There's a document out of the U.K. that I covered in a report called Absolute Slavery, because the name of their agenda is Absolute Zero.
And as you run through the lines, it's just clear.
I mean, it's astounding.
And that's why I wanted to really highlight it, that you look at air travel.
And it says, okay, by 2030, it's only going to be major hubs for international flights and all other airports will be shut down.
And then over by 2050, there's a big red dot.
It says, no, there's no air travel.
You don't have it.
Next line, shipping.
Well, it looks like every ship out there has carbon emissions, so clearly we're going to have to reduce shipping by 2030.
This is why the Suez is getting blocked, right?
And then the next day you see, well, we got that one ship stuck over there.
It doesn't look like shipping works anymore.
We're really going to have to rethink our supply.
All these academics came out and said we're going to have to change everything because of that one ship.
And sure enough, when you look at the absolute zero timeline out of the Fires group in the UK, It draws unambiguously the same red dot All shipping will stop by 2050.
It will be drastically reduced by 2030, and everything will be moved by train.
The train line looks like it grows exponentially.
Biden actually was just announcing also in the last month, huge amounts, part of his infrastructure bill, right?
Just huge amounts of capital directed towards Amtrak.
To drastically revitalize their infrastructure and build new pathways to parts of the country, which when you overlay it with the, you know, the smart cities of the future, the big super cities, mega regions, the emerging mega regions agenda 2030 map, it's isomorphic.
It's exactly the same path.
So there's just no doubt anymore.
Mike, there was a point in time where we could have this conversation and you would say, it kind of seems like this, or maybe if you kind of project a little bit, you can see how they could be...
No, no.
We're past this.
Any reasonable person looking at what's going on would draw the conclusion that this agenda that they've openly described, that we can read about here, is actively being implemented.
And furthermore, it's being done in hyperdrive.
So we've all got to pass on the word of what's going on right now and make sure people know and can find it.
You're absolutely right.
It's also, anybody who looks at this would have to conclude that the people running this plan are criminally insane.
And I remember a few years ago, I forgot who it was, I think it was a Democrat that was arguing you could build train tracks from New York to London.
And so they think they're going to build trains across oceans, I guess, to get rid of shipping.
That sounds like a Democrat idea.
But also, even if you look at artificial meat, you know, they say artificial meat, I mean, its position is being green and ecologically sound, but if you really study the inputs that go into artificial meat, you know, you're talking genetically modified soybeans grown in a former rainforest that was clear-cut to be a soybean farm in Brazil, and then you have all these inputs that go into it, all the fossil fuels, all the fertilizers, and then all the transportation and all the processing, and you realize it's actually more green to slaughter a cow next door.
You know?
It really is.
But they just lie.
And they say that all plants are green and all animals are dirty.
And that is absolutely not the case.
Not the case whatsoever.
Now, I'm not a proponent of confined animal farms or CAFOs.
I'm not a proponent of that because I do care about the quality of life that they have.
Local meat that's locally produced with free-range animals that are ethically grown and harvested, that is a sustainable, ecologically sound food supply system.
Yeah, there's no doubt.
And this is also, you know, if you have any doubt about, you know, what's going on, it's when you actually look at what's being done and realize, like you said, I mean, you actually crushed that.
It doesn't make any sense to turn massive areas of the Brazilian rainforest into monocropped soybean, GMO at that soybeans for growing impossible burgers, which are on the order of dog food level nutrition.
Like none of it makes sense.
And that's when you're like, oh, wait a minute.
What they're doing is not actually to try and help people.
This is an agenda to take total control over the food supply.
And the good news here is that people are realizing it.
And if they start pushing through...
The flip side of agendas or attempts like the Colorado Paws Act to try and put ranchers out of business is it's going to...
I mean, you're poking the bear.
You're going to wake up a lot of people when you start taking away farming and ranching and meat from Americans.
Yeah.
And we're already seeing signs of this happening in India, for example, where there's a massive amount of pharma protests, people saying, look, there's clearly an attempt by the administration here to take over our food supply and use it as a political weapon to beat us into submission.
And there are 250 million people.
This is the biggest protest in human history.
And so I take this as a good sign.
Yeah, that's, you know, I did the math and that's more than like 10 times the size of all of the world's militaries put together.
So you want to think about how powerful humanity is when they figure out, when we figure out that they're trying to take our food away.
You're going to see these kinds of uprisings and we're going to be, you know, moving the needle here.
And that's why it's important to have these conversations and make sure we're properly educated.
So if maybe that's even the reaction they want, right, is a massive uprising.
In some cases, I think that's true the way they're Ram a lot of this stuff through.
But particularly if that's the case, then we need to all really understand the long game, the idea that they're trying to get us through that fourth industrial revolution, push nanobot-enabled foods and medicines in us and put us into the complete surveillance state.
Or else we might find ourselves out there protesting and actually, you know, furthering their agenda somehow.
So that's the only caveat there.
But another example of that was Croatia, where there's a fantastic piece where a guy wrote, you know, he's like, look, this is the way that we've always lived in Croatia.
One village has, you know, an onion and maybe it turns round and Purple.
And then the next one over, the onion gets sort of long and white.
And you can sort of hybridize them.
Or if you plant, if you're a new farmer, a new, you know, newly married, you'll get seeds from all of the villages to celebrate your marriage.
And that's sort of like your dowry.
And then you go out and plant these seeds.
And because of this really rich seed stock and the biodiversity, you're going to have great yields.
One of them could fail, but the other one is going to do.
This is the way that humans, in fact, have always lived, right?
Seeds are wealth.
You get part of your, you know, Starting a new family is that you're handed off this wealth and start your own farm.
And so as the EU comes in and says with their farm to fork agenda, which is basically the same thing, it's like their version, their flavor of the Rockefeller Foundation's reset the table agenda.
All of them flowing through, you know, down from the UN and the World Economic Forum think tanks.
But the EU gave lip service to protecting indigenous heirloom seeds and practices.
But then when it actually comes down to it, they say, no, you need to register your seed and it's now illegal to save your seed and sell it.
Again, it's just like with the animals, and this is the theme here, is that they are criminalizing what is a basic human right, what is normal human activity.
They're moving the goalposts.
That's now not allowed anymore, Mike.
We're not allowed to do things that way.
It's just astonishing that it's happening so quickly.
Again, the things that you've been warning about are being put into play every day, and the same with the things I've been warning about.
But I can't help but think the people pushing this, or at least supporting it, I have no clue the ramifications of how it's going to impact them.
So I'm not talking about the globalists, but let's say the local politicians.
Let's go back to Oregon.
The Portland city council members or lawmakers or mayors of different cities around Oregon or even the governor of Oregon, they might say, this is great.
Let's outlaw all ranching activities.
And then, you know, a year later, they're shopping in the grocery store and there's no food.
Not even much of the plant food that they say they wanted because the food supply has broken down.
I thought one area of Oregon wanted to ban diesel, by the way.
What kind of effect is that going on?
I mean, come on.
These people are going to be starving to death and then they're going to beg Biden for a bailout.
And even if Biden gives them a bailout, oh, here's a bunch of fake currency on a debit card.
They take the debit card to the grocery store.
The f***ing store is still empty!
You know, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
And bleep that out, please.
But, I mean, these people are insane.
They're insane.
There's still no food.
Yeah.
It's hard to argue with anything you said there.
I think there are well-meaning people as cogs in the system.
I think Kay Brown probably has a relationship with the Chinese, but that's sort of beside the point.
Yeah.
I mean, it's an extermination agenda.
There's really no other way to put it at this point.
And, you know, this is part of why they were standing up those pandemic pallets.
We saw, you know, some municipalities and cities stocking food to the rafters last year.
None of that, you know, it didn't have anything to do with COVID, right?
None of that got used at all.
But it's all now in terms of, okay, now we actually, we are hitting that hockey stick in terms of food prices, many prices, but food among them.
And that means that, yes, every week there are sadly more and more people that can't afford, that are making trade-offs at a minimum of how do I keep my family fed?
And what can I even get there?
Go ahead.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
We only have a couple minutes left.
We've got to wrap this up.
But on the bright side of this, the silver lining, isn't it also then the high prices of food, doesn't that make it more justifiable for people to enter activities like home hydroponics and home gardening and all those things?
So it might be a silver lining for people who are willing to learn some new skills.
Absolutely.
And the only qualification there is that we also have to be fighting to retain our ability to do that, right?
if they're trying to criminalize that and trying to work against our ability to, to create local food systems and local economies that would get away from that digital dollar that of course is tied to the social credit system, of course is going to be used to allow you to only transact in certain ways.
Maybe you can buy meat if you took your shots, but you can't, maybe you're, you know, it's all, everything you imagine about how a social credit score system would be implemented gets tied into those digital dollars that will be part of the way they print out of the inflation ahead of us.
But, but yeah, so hopefully more and more and that's okay.
So back to, it is a silver lining.
More and more people are going to want to get roosters and start growing food.
And that's why for those of us having this conversation now, it's very important that we all do that.
We grow our gardens as much as possible.
We save seeds because then we'll be, and they're just so prolific.
We'll be armed with just huge buckets of seed.
I've got a huge bucket of sorghum here and I, and I'm giving it away to my neighbors because I mean, What that's, that's what I want to do with it.
I can't imagine anything better than all of my neighbors also growing food with me.
So it's in everyone's interest right now to be growing, saving seed and spreading the word.
Well said.
Very good words of wisdom from the Ice Age farmer folks.
Krishna, I want to thank you for joining me today.
You are a wellspring of knowledge and also all your warnings are really critical for people to listen to.
This situation is going to spiral into mass starvation if we don't reverse some of these trends.
There's no doubt about that in my mind.
And I think people need to share your videos and check out your website, iceagefarmer.com.
Thank you for joining me today.
I hope we get a chance to talk again soon.
Even if we don't, maybe our roosters will talk to each other again soon.
We'll have a cock-a-doodle-doo livestream debate or something.
Okay, thanks, Christian.
Thank you, Mike.
I appreciate it.
A global reset is coming.
And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
