    And now we have a fire in a seed storage silo in Spokane Valley, April, 29 2022. You had better stock up on seeds too.

    Folks, I rarely if ever post a video on three threads in parallel. (And I don't want to encourage others! ) But this is VERY VERY important, a detailed, high-quality summary by Chris Martenson of the systemic collapse that the EU and (very probably) the US are now almost inevitably heading towards.

    It's about energy, and food, and also fertilizer — the shortage of which in the US Martenson is questioning whether is due to malice or stupidity. Martenson uses the word "starve" several times, including in his video title.

    And he made this video before he heard of Vladimir Putin's decree earlier today banning Russian exports of oil, gas, wheat and other commodities to "unfriendly nations". That will lead to very, very bad times in the EU and the US.

    While food shortages worldwide will be very serious, certainly in developing countries (leading to huge migration problems, principally in Europe: but that's a different topic), it may be the "unfriendly nations to Russia" that will be brought to their knees.

    MUST SEE. Never has Martenson chosen a title like this.

    Will You Starve to Death This Year?

    RUMORS OUT OF YEMEN: CHICKEN FEED POISONED

    Yemen has suddenly had a massive chicken die off across the entire country with all regions being affected simultaneously, and not the way an avian pandemic would hit. Yemenis are highly suspicious that the UN or some other bad actor like the CIA got onto the ships that brought the chicken feed and poisoned the food during "inspections" while the ships sat in port for far longer than usual wait times.

    Is the rumor true? who knows, but consider this:


    The WEF wants meat for the most part banned, if not entirely banned. So far they are removing meat from the food supply by claiming there are pandemics that require all chickens to be destroyed.

    It would be perfectly possible to produce a "pandemic" by poisoning food supplies and when the farmers check to see why their animals are sick, all WEF&associates need to do is produce falsified test results that say the animals are sick with the "fill in the blank" flu. This has been done before, and does happen in places like Yemen. All it takes is for one bad actor in an entire supply line to introduce the poison at some point and BAM-O, all the animals are dead. Animals do not have diverse sources of food, they have single point sources and it is easy to nail all the food in one spot. This is probably happening.

    I believe the major poultry farms in the United States that have had "avian flu" outbreaks have in fact had their food supplies poisoned, and that they were subsequently lied to about the results of that poisoning being "bird flu" and now "Please destroy all your chickens". It's one of the oldest tricks in the book, which has up until recently not often been played. But it has been played lots in the past, enough so that the people in Yemen did not forget.

    ‘Unprecedented’ Bird Flu Epidemic Ripping Through Canada


    Alberto Pezzali - WPA Pool/Getty Images

    Breitbart London7 May 20220

    CALGARY, Alberta (AP) – Canadian poultry farmers are facing fear and stress as a highly pathogenic strain of H5N1 avian influenza is currently circulating in both wild and domestic flocks across North America.

    According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency poultry and egg producers in Canada have lost more than 1.7 million birds to avian influenza since late 2021. That tally includes both birds that have died of the virus and birds that have been euthanized.’

    David Hyink, an Alberta chicken farmer, checks his barns each day with a sense of trepidation. He knows if the disease were to turn up on his property, it would mean the loss of his entire flock.

    Avian influenza has a high...

    This is killing two birds with one stone. In the news so that people are aware of the possibility of a future bird flu that will kill millions, while at the same time reducing food supply rapidly to produce famine first in the third world then developed countries.

    The controllers prepare events years ahead. The covid pandemic would not be implemented so easily or even believable if there were no SARS1, swine flu, avian flu and Mers appearing in a line. Dealy viruses are very rare and far between in history, and it is not possible in a mere decade or two they have become commonplace. You are always made mentally prepared for the horror, but not physically prepared so that you can avoid it.

    I do quite of bit of work for cattle owners here , because of covid a bunch of butchers went out of business and now many that are still in existence are so overwhelmed with trying to process beef from bullet to being hamburger. Some butchers here in this area are telling some farmers to reserve there spot for their cattle of up to a 1 year wait to get processed . Hamburger now is running $3.50 to $5.00 a ponud and butchering has doubled . Just an fyi

    Large Fire at Minnesota Commercial Egg Farm Likely Killed Thousands of Chickens
    https://welovetrump.com/2022/05/29/l...s-of-chickens/

    An enormous late-night blaze at a commercial egg farm likely left thousands of chickens dead Saturday night near Cokato, Minnesota.

    Fire crews responded to a call shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday night for the incident at a Forsman Farms facility in Stockholm Township, Minnesota.

    Crews found heavy fire coming from a barn housing chickens and manure.

    The main building involved in the fire was significantly damaged and there was light damage to a neighboring building, deputies say.

    The country that has the highest percent of food waste, is the US. Around 30-40% of food is wasted and they are the first to worry about food shortages.

    I think the most urgent thing to improve right now, on every country of the world, is food management. They should build a system for food distribution on many levels, until it's wasted.

    I hope food shortages don't happen. If they do then I hope people find a way to survive ok. Despite food processing plants burning down in the last few months, and port lockdowns stalling global trade, and then crippling diesel prices, despite these I still hold.out hope it won't be as bad as I am fearing. I'm prepared as well as I can just in case, but people who.prepare aren't going to be the problem; in a bad case scenario the problem will be surprised and unprepared people who are hungry and desperate because they have a hungry family to.feed. What lines would you cross if you were desperate to feed your starving family? I'm still naively half hoping it won't happen..., wish me luck

    What concerns me is that many don't have much in the way of skills to cope with this. Have you noticed Matthew the proliferation of 'food kits' in the UK now? They are for people who have minimal cooking skills, so they're paying through the nose for a pack of ready-weighed ingredients whereas it is much less expensive to have a stock of food basics to use.

    A uni student told me 18 years ago that she was self-taught in how to cook, but her school lessons on 'cookery' were a load of theory and then they made things up from packets. My school cookery lessons were in a long room with about a dozen small kitchen units and we would be shown how to make something - from basic ingredients, not packets - then we would have a go ourselves in a kitchen unit with our teacher keeping an eye on us.

    Of course back then it was cooking and sewing for girls, woodwork and metalwork for boys; I would have liked to have done all of those but am grateful for those skills that I acquired at school. I've seen a deterioration in all those skills in my lifetime, from being raised by the wartime generation who all managed to get through rationing with resourcefulness. The weekends of my youth always saw people tending their gardens and doing varying degrees of car maintenance (I've known quite a few men who were able to get their cars ready for the annual MOT inspection of road worthiness without having to pay a garage), but you don't see that now. I've tried to get a friend at least to plant a few strawberry plants and a couple of tomato plants, both of which are really low maintenance, but she "can't be bothered".

    Now that all those useful skills have been massively eroded, I don't have much hope for the majority of the population. I can only hope that many people will start to learn fast.

    Even in the 60’s, my Mum taught me to cook from raw, and grow food. In my cookery classes loads of girls had no clue, and sewing clothes were pathetic.
    Today, I despair, takeaway society is disgraceful, obesity endemic, so folk are going to starve unless they are taught to cook, forage, grow just like our old folks did to survive during the world wars. So upsetting…

    Same here - my Mum taught me a lot too! I remember sitting at the dining table in the mornings, she would teach me basic arithmetic, the seasons, the alphabet, how to tell the time... I could read by 2 years of age. She also taught me cooking basics, sewing and knitting.

    Nowadays you see some 2 year olds with an iPad...

    Today, I despair, takeaway society is disgraceful, obesity endemic, so folk are going to starve unless they are taught to cook, forage, grow just like our old folks did to survive during the world wars. So upsetting…
    This was intentional and a deliberate assault on beauty and health. We have been living in a state of continual terrorism. There is HATRED for LIFE and wish for GOOD on earth be destroyed. I hope we will be assisted by a Divine Intervention which will sweep away the INVERTED perception... that GOOD is bad and BAD is Good.

    One of the most dangerous aspects is that this INVERSION is transmitted from one person to another. One may find a sea change when puberty hits where sudden rebellion appears. I wonder WHY and I think I see the reason?

    "Rebellion" happens because people have had no adult who saw through the whole scheme and taught the youth what is really happening. Instead, platitudes and lies along with ignorance are spread. One MUST master oneself so one must learn the tools early.

    Giving people "rules" to FOLLOW with the wish to "protect", creates people who react AGAINST constraint rebel and fall into the hands of EVIL. The infection is passed peer to peer during the time of life when children are becoming self aware beings who seek to be part of the "world".

    IMO if I had any children in my life, I'd practice what I preach (hehe). It is easy to preach and hard to practice.

    I have wondered how to identify edible wild plants in my neighborhood. Here is something important

    Quote IDENTIFYING TOXIC PLANTS
    Identifying plants with any certainty can be challenging. When in doubt, there are some simple characteristics that can indicate whether a plant is poisonous, including:

    Milky white sap
    Thorns, spines, or fine hairs on the leaves or stems
    Pods with bulbs, beans, or seeds
    Stems or trunks that have an almond scent
    Three-leaved foliage growth
    Pink, purple, or black spurs on the grain head
    Foliage reminiscent of dill, parsley, or carrot fronds
    Intensely bitter or soapy flavor
    Many toxic plants exhibit one or more of these characteristics. However, there are also several edible wild plants that have similar distinguishing features and are nutrient-rich and delicious forest floor foods to enjoy on your outdoor adventures.
    One I have in abundance is

    Quote 7. CURLED DOCK
    Found throughout Australia, Europe, and North and South America, young curled dock is characterized by its wavy, elongated bright green leaves which have a slightly sour taste when eaten raw.

    The mature plant displays tightly clustered flower heads that change from green to reddish-brown throughout the pollination season and long, reddish stalks that are also edible. Be sure to remove the tough outer layer of the stalk and boil two to three times, changing the water between boils, to eliminate the bitter taste.


    Quote Curly Dock: A Plant for Year-Round Sustenance
    Curly dock (Rumex crispus, also called yellow dock) is one of those plants that is easily overlooked. It doesn’t have a showy flower and the leaves can look kind of generic. Furthermore, it’s not typically as prolific of a weed as dandelion— at least not in urban areas. It’s unfortunate that people aren’t more familiar with it, as the leaves, stem, seed, and root are all edible or medicinal. And with its wide distribution, it’s easy to start eating!

    Curly dock isn’t too discerning about its habitat, growing in full sun and part shade, fields, roadsides, trailsides, and other open areas. Native to Europe, it has been introduced to all fifty states in the US and all Canadian provinces except Nunavut.

    SEEDS
    As a relative of buckwheat, dock seeds are edible as well! Some people say they’re not worth harvesting because so much processing is required to separate the seed from the chaff. However, you can just grind the seed and chaff all together as one. It’s just extra fiber and won’t hurt you. Seeds appear in late summer, and should be harvested when they’re brown, dry, and papery. They often remain on the plant throughout winter.

    The seeds grow in massive quantities on the stem and are quite easy to collect. Simply pick the entire stem using a knife or clippers. Then strip the seeds from the stem over a paper bag or large bowl. You’ll have a large amount in no time! Sift the seeds through a sieve or colander to remove any bugs or debris. Then grind them in a grain grinder, coffee grinder, mortar and pestle, or blender to make flour. Store in an airtight container. Since the flour doesn’t have gluten and contains a high amount of fiber, it’s easier to work with if mixed with wheat flour.

    Crackers made with curly dock seeds.
    Recipe: Curly Dock Crackers
    From http://www.ediblewildfood.com/yellow-dock-crackers.aspx

    These crackers have a wonderfully earthy flavor. I think they combine well with something tart, like pickles, rhubarb preserves, or chutney. Serves 4 to 6.

    INGREDIENTS
    1 cup ground curly dock seed

    1 cup flour of your choice (I use all-purpose wheat flour)

    1 tsp. sea salt

    Water

    INSTRUCTIONS
    In a bowl mix together the ground yellow dock seed, flour, and salt. Add in water very slowly until the dough is pliable (not sticky).

    On a well-floured surface roll dough thinly. Cut into desired shapes. Then transfer them onto a well-greased baking sheet.

    Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 375°F or until crisp.

    Medicinal Properties
    Curly dock gets its other common name (yellow dock) from its yellow root, which gets its color from the compound anthraquinone. This compound has a laxative effect, making yellow dock root an excellent remedy for constipation. Furthermore, it stimulates the flow of bile, which aids digestion. It also soothes the intestinal lining, making it useful against irritable bowels.

    The root also has a diuretic effect, meaning that it stimulates urination. This can help with bloating, urinary tract infections, and urinary stones, especially when taking into account yellow dock’s soothing effect.

    As a cooling and healing root, it has been used to treat several kinds of inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, and nettle rash. It is also useful against internal inflammation, such as arthritis and rheumatism.

    DECOCTION
    Yellow dock root should be made into a decoction, in which the plant matter is boiled, instead of an infusion, in which the plant matter is steeped in hot water. Decoctions are used for tough, woody material such as roots, bark, and twigs, in order to extract the active constituents. Infusions are used for herbs with delicate aromatic principles that require more careful preparation. To make a decoction, start with ½ cup finely chopped fresh root. (Make sure you scrub the root clean first!) If using dried root, you will need less: only about ⅓ of the original amount, or about 3 tablespoons in this instance. Put the chopped root in a non-reactive pot, such as stainless steel or glass. Add 3 cups cold water. Bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered about 20 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by approximately ⅓ (to 2 cups). Strain the liquid into a mug or jar and discard the plant material. The decoction can be drank hot or cold, and can be stored in the fridge for up to 48 hours. The standard dosage is one cup 3 times a day, though this varies depending on the person and the condition.

    Mark the Location
    Keep an eye out for this ordinary plant, and soon you will be able to pick it out of the landscape! The easiest time of year to notice it is in summer, fall, and often in the winter, when you can easily observe the multitudinous seeds. Then keep the spot in mind for some yummy greens the following spring, and dig in!

    Looking at the photo immediately above - I wondered if predation by snails/slugs was at least an indication of a plant which could be eaten by humans.

    We have foraging groups here in the UK, they meet and teach people how to identify edible plants and, most importantly, the ones that you should most definitely avoid!

    Maybe there is a similar group near you that you could join?

    Also - dock leaves are an antidote to a nettle sting, scrunch up a leaf and rub it straight away on the skin that has been stung. Dock usually grows near nettles. Young nettle leaves also make a good soup, though not to be eaten more than once a week as it's diuretic. Pick them with gloves on, of course!

    I bought a book or two to help me identify edible wild plants. I am Generation X although I am a Gen X nerd, so I ignored all crafts and played video games instead. This means my hand-eye coordination has had some extra training, but I am making up for my unwise choices now! I am on my way to becoming a soil nerd. This hit me and I can't believe it. Leaving my garden to rot for a couple of years helped... once I went to have a look and examine things I saw half objects, half soil. Now I realise everything is soil, or will be, and insect poo is magical. I'm not a soil nerd yet, I'm a happy idiot with a soil obsession. Ewan, your companion planting chart (here!) is kind of awesome. The forum has become a new shape for me, right under my feet, and now Project Avalon is an alternative growing forum

    Have you noticed Matthew the proliferation of 'food kits' in the UK now? They are for people who have minimal cooking skills, so they're paying through the nose for a pack of ready-weighed ingredients whereas it is much less expensive to have a stock of food basics to use.
    ...
    I hadn't noticed, but I see them now.

    https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/review/b...rant-meal-kits

    but I can't criticise, I'm still eating pre-made pies and I buy tinned custard. That reminds me, sugar might be very useful to have too much of right now; it can be used to make preserve and might become scarce. It doesn't go off.

    edit add: "... whereas it is much less expensive to have a stock of food basics to use." - and a stock of food might help people be in a stronger position if shortages happen.

    List of US-Based Food Manufacturing Plants Destroyed 2021-2022

    Here is the Updated List of US-Based Food Manufacturing Plants Destroyed Under Biden Administration
    By Jim Hoft
    Published June 11, 2022 at 8:15am

    Joe Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ is not working as planned, or is it?

    Gas prices are at record highs, stock markets are down, parents are having difficulty finding baby formula, and the cost of everything is way up.

    According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), there are currently no nationwide food shortages in the country.

    “There are currently no nationwide shortages of food, although in some cases the inventory of certain foods at your grocery store might be temporarily low before stores can restock,” the agency said on their website. “Food production and manufacturing are widely dispersed throughout the U.S. and there are currently no wide-spread disruptions reported in the supply chain.”

    As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, at least 18 major fires have erupted at food industry facilities and plants over the past six months. All of the fires have been officially listed as accidental or inconclusive.

    Now this… A Gateway Pundit reader sent us an updated list of US-based food manufacturing plants destroyed from 2021 to 2022 under the Biden administration.

    Below is the list of America’s 96 plants destroyed:
