    I'd say it's probably the same kind of laser weaponry that has been causing the California fires. The lasers have been caught in photos.
    Hi Natalie. From the first I heard of it, that idea has seemed improbable. First, the technical specs, US mil is not yet operational with their laser weapon candidates. 2, China would have (stolen) it, and would be hitting lots of places besides Cali. Fun thought, nonetheless. ~8)

    There is 6 page long, quite detailed thread on the subject. A good place to start might be here:

    I think this belongs here, but there might also need to be a new thread titled Turmoil in The Netherlands. The Dutch government is shutting down farms due to "nitrogen levels and climate change" — which has to be yet a new level of destructive, administrative insanity.

    Whether this is due to sheer dumb stupidity, or high-level malevolence that's simply another form of evil, the resulting food shortages will be manufactured here as well.

    Bizarre, maybe even more so than the explanation as to why, which makes it yet another "coincidence". Nice twist in relation to BG.

    Pay attention to the Data part (on the fires) in relation to the Media.

    Check out Kwak.

    Contemplate this, had a trucker in my shop yesterday , he said he just got a letter from his place of work stating there may be disruptions in the additives called DEF that they add to diesel fuel starting next month . It is my understanding DEF is needed in diesel fuel for vehicles 2012 and newer to run, this would include farm equipment I Think ? DEF comes from china , There wont be a shortage of the fuel but just the additives. Now were heading towards harvest season here in the states , lets pray this doesnt happen on every level but just a heads up. I did call a buddy of mine that has 100 trucks and he said he has only heard rumors so far. Will see.

    Here's an explanation of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). The fluid is stored in a separate tank.

    gilbarco
    Quote What is DEF?

    Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a solution of urea and water that’s injected into the exhaust stream of diesel vehicles to turn NOx gases (harmful emissions) into nitrogen and water. This system is called a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) implemented by vehicle manufacturers to meet EPA emissions standards in 2010. This is a way of meeting the standards without compromising engine performance or fuel efficiency. DEF is not a fuel additive and is stored in separate tanks.

    Who needs DEF, why?

    DEF is a requirement for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles with diesel engines produced after 2010. The vehicle is programmed to inject the DEF into the exhaust stream to meet emissions requirements. If the vehicle is allowed to run out of DEF, the engine performance will be reduced, and lower speeds are imposed.

    What are the different delivery modes of DEF?

    DEF can be purchased in several ways. There are varying sizes of jugs/containers a driver can purchase. This requires the driver to transfer the DEF into the vehicle manually. DEF can also be dispensed into the vehicle through a fueling dispenser when equipped.

    (Food shortages are just the beginning of the catastrophes Wiggington is covering in this video, while pointing out the ones that are already in full progress.
    I thought the geomagnetic reversal was the greatest and nearest cause for alarm, but this news is so dire and convincing it's making me reconsider.
    I don't see how the globalists are going to be able to hide or explain away what's really going on for much longer. )


    "California redwoods in flames, Australia under water, crops failing all over the world, it's just getting started. Earth's rapidly deteriorating ozone layer is finally coming to light in new reports as the impacts of extreme UV radiation become too hard to hide. Will the majority of the masses continue to ignore and deny this near term existential threat? Record drought and deluge scenarios continue to take their toll on crop production all over the world. How soon till food shelves empty out? The climate engineers continue to cut off precipitation from much of the western US. Las Vegas is so desperate to keep the water flowing that they drilled a 1.5 billion dollar tunnel under the deepest part of the lake in order to drain the last drop. https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/d... Does Vegas now serve as an example of the human race trying to survive on a rapidly dying planet?
    All are needed in the critical battle to wake populations to what is coming, we must make every day count. Share credible data from a credible source, make your voice heard. Awareness raising efforts can be carried out from your own home computer."

    Two things I've accidentally overheard on the news today (yeah, I don't simply like to listen to them at all): There's going to be food shortages and the prices are going to be even higher than now. Then I went to buy beer to my nearest grocery store and heard on the radio that they're already trying to figure out if this monkey virus is the next covid. Btw, NOT ONE of the customers were wearing masks. And boom, suddenly no one in Finland cares if the Russians are going to attack here anymore. That was fast, like 3 months. Lol

    "Besides being a physicist, ecologist, activist, editor, and author of numerous books, Vandana Shiva is a tireless defender of the environment. She is the founder of Navdanya, a movement for biodiversity conservation and farmers’ rights. She is also the founder and director of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Natural Resource Policy. Shiva fights for changes in the practice and paradigms of agriculture and food: “I don’t want to live in a world where five giant companies control our health and our food.”

    Intellectual property rights, biodiversity, biotechnology, bioethics, and genetic engineering are among the fields where Shiva has contributed intellectually and through activist campaigns. During the 1970s, she participated in the nonviolent Chipko movement, whose main participants were women. She has assisted grassroots organizations of the Green movement in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Ireland, Switzerland, and Austria with campaigns against genetic engineering. Shiva has also served as an adviser to governments in India and abroad as well as non-governmental organizations, including the International Forum on Globalization, the Women’s Environment and Development Organization, the Third World Network, and the Asia Pacific People’s Environment Network."

    Govt. Shocked - Efforts To Refill Lake Powell Have Failed

    "The Bureau of Reclamation introduced two plans earlier this year to increase the water level in Glen Canyon Dams reservoir, Lake Powell. These two plans had some initial success but at the beginning of July, the water levels in Lake Powell started to decline again. This summer is bringing some very high temperatures to America's South West and this increases electricity demand. To produce more power at the Glen Canyon Dam, Reclamation is releasing more water. This is causing Lake Powell's water level to decline, a situation that is not sustainable.

    In this video, we take a look at the current water levels in Lake Powell. Then we discuss how the Federal Government is requiring states that consume Colorado River water to significantly reduce water consumption. If states do not voluntarily reduce water use the Federal Government will step in and force huge mandatory water cuts in many southwestern states including California and Arizona."

    Back in July Steve Quayle was posting emails on Q-Alerts about mysterious food freezer failures and malfunctions in his home state of Montana.

    This one is current and there's images in the link.
    Montana Daily Gazette
    Quote Once again, the attacks continue, and this time, it’s the west side Great Falls Walmart. It’s not a coincidence that so many Montana stores and warehouses are just happening to ‘losing power.‘

    One particular resident revealed details.

    “West side GF Walmart is the latest hit with mystery ‘power outage.’ Word is nothing to be saved; all are waste. These were all fresh products; frozen items were still available. Interesting how only fresh, refrigerated meats, bakery, juice, dairy, and eggs were affected. Most absurd was the train of shopping carts blocking the lunchmeat, cheese, butter, dairy, egg, breakfast items coolers…with employees posted to guard this food, which they intend to waste. There’s a pattern of deception here. This has happened in Billings, Bozeman, Roundup? Missoula?

    Other Great Falls residents chimed in with the following.

    “Like it’s a setup and by design……manufactured food shortages. Find your local gardeners, egg producers, and meat producers. We have plenty to sell to you directly, and it will be much better quality than you can get at Walmart.

    “In the past week, I have seen similar at Missoula Winco and at least two mini-marts.”

    The west side Walmart in Great Falls looks like a morgue. This is eery and scary, folks, don’t delay. Start navigating and looking for other viable food sources. Click here to bypass the mainstream food market.

    How are fresh foods wasted and not frozen foods? And what’s with all these employees ‘guarding’ the fresh foods? The mystery continues. Stay connected for more updates on the situation.

    There was a fire at QC Poultry processing facility in Montebello, California. Strange the address is 1111 W. Olympic Blvd.

    Google Maps

    collapse.news
    Quote QC Poultry saw its Montebello, Calif., processing plant go up in flames over the weekend, adding to a spate of “accidental fires” targeting food facilities in recent months.

    Reports indicate that the facility, located just east of East Los Angeles and southwest of the San Gabriel Valley, caught fire at around 4pm on Sunday. When firefighters arrived, they witnessed massive plumes of smoke bellowing from the building – see video footage below:

    Quote A representative for the city of Montebello said that QC Poultry, located at 1111 W. Olympic Blvd., had building damaged and that numerous commercial cars may have been destroyed by fire, according to KTLA.

    A huge fire broke out at Rungis Market near Paris. These fires are unusual in the rate of burn and acceleration of the smoke. It's as if additional accelerant is added or there's underground structures involved. They have an almost volcanic nature. It reminds me of the recent fire in Rome. These incidents could have a covid-like motive and that would be to weaken a nation and the depopulation agenda would be secondary.

    ANALYSIS: Europe to become “ECONOMIC WASTELAND” as industry dies, banks fail and food production plunges

    Monday, September 26, 2022 by: Mike Adams

    (Natural News) Europe’s economy, currencies and industries are in free fall, plunging toward “economic wasteland” status that’s less than a year away if natural gas supplies from Russia aren’t quickly restored. That’s the conclusion of numerous experts who have spoken to Natural News over the last two weeks, including war correspondent Michael Yon, Finnish economist Tuomas Malinen, global agricultural trends researcher David Dubyne, and Italian-American author Leo Zagami.

    The situation is so dire that Germany chemical giant BASF — formerly part of the Nazi-run IG Farben chemical conglomerate that carried out war crimes against humanity — is now threatening to shut down operations for industrial plants that have run continuously since the 1960s. As explained by author Philip Oltermann in a UK Guardian article entitled, “How gas rationing at Germany’s BASF plant could plunge Europe into crisis,” BASF is close to shutting down its massive chemical facilities in Germany due to a lack of natural gas. But shutting down production might be permanent, since no one knows if the plants can ever resume operations after a shutdown, since the very act of shutting the system down may break it.

    BASF is critical to the world’s supply chain for fertilizer, petroleum refining, medicines, plastics, consumer products, industrial materials and more. If BASF were to go down, Western Europe’s industrial economy would rapidly collapse into ruin, and the global supply chain crisis would dramatically worsen far beyond anything we saw due to covid lockdowns.

    To understand all this, first consider this March, 2022 Reuters article, “BASF says it would stop output if gas supplies fell to half its needs.” That article explains:

    Germany’s BASF (BASFn.DE) said on Wednesday it would have to stop production if natural gas supplies fell to less than half its needs, as the world’s largest chemicals group warned of the damage to its operations from Europe’s power crunch.

    The article reveals that BASF not only uses natural gas as its energy source for chemical manufacturing, but that the hydrocarbons in natural gas are the feed stock for critical chemical production such as ammonia (NH3) which must have hydrogen (H) from hydrocarbon molecules. You can’t simply replace natural gas with electricity, since electricity contains no hydrogen. Thus, wind and solar power can never replace natural gas in industry and manufacturing, including for fertilizer production, plastics and more. As Reuters explains:

    In Europe, BASF uses around 60% of the gas it buys to generate energy needed in production and the remaining 40% as a raw material to produce important basic chemicals…

    Note that the above Reuters article was published well before Gazprom ceased gas flows in Nord Stream 1. Current flow is at zero, and Russia has no compelling reason to restore flows anytime soon. This means Germany is running on stored natural gas even as winter approaches. Those gas stores will not last even through the end of this year, by the way, and the really cold weather hits in 2023.

    BASF warns of an imminent shutdown due to lack of natural gas
    If natural gas supplies fall to 50% of BASF’s full demand, the company will have to shut down operations. Via The Guardian:

    “Once we can receive significantly and permanently less than 50% of our maximum requirements, we would need to wind down the entire site,” says Daniela Rechenberger, a company spokesperson. “That is something that has never happened in BASF’s history, and something no one here would want to see happening. But we would have little choice.”

    Astonishingly, BASF warns that if it were to shutter operations, no one knows whether it could be restarted:

    With large parts of the verbund site having run around the clock since the 1960s, BASF says it is unclear if production could simply be restarted afterwards or if the drop of pressure would cause some machinery to break.

    In other words, you can’t simply flip a switch and turn the plant off, then expect to flip the switch the other way and turn it all back on again. These systems are incredibly complex — ammonia production all by itself requires a network of 1,771 miles of pipeline at just one BASF facility (Ludwigshafen), merely to process and distribute ammonia across the 10 sq km campus. That ammonia is then used to create fertilizers, Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) and many other industrial chemicals, including engine oil additives.

    “The consequences of a shutdown at Ludwigshafen would be far-reaching, not just in Europe’s largest economy but the entire continent,” writes The Guardian. A shutdown of BASF would mean the closing down of automobile manufacturing, consumer products, agricultural chemicals, sterilization chemicals for hospitals and much more.

    Across Western Europe, ammonia production is already down by 70%, which will have devastating repercussions on spring planting in 2023 (expect mass famine across Europe throughout 2023 – 2024). Metals smelting operations are more than 50% shut down, and an industry group called Eurometaux has warned that without immediate government intervention (i.e. bailout money), Europe faces “permanent deindustrialization,” meaning it becomes an economic wasteland.

    From that warning letter, found here: (pdf) (emphasis added)

    RE: Europe’s non-ferrous metals producers call for emergency EU action to prevent permanent deindustrialisation from spiralling electricity and gas prices

    50% of the EU’s aluminium and zinc capacity has already been forced offline due to the power crisis, as well as significant curtailments in silicon and ferroalloys production and further impacts felt across copper and nickel sectors. In the last month, several companies have had to announce indefinite closures and many more are on the brink ahead of a life-or-death winter for many operations. Producers face electricity and gas costs over ten times higher than last year, far exceeding the sales price for their products. We know from experience that once a plant is closed it very often becomes a permanent situation, as re-opening implies significant uncertainty and cost.

    Imagine Europe without metals or chemicals. Essentially, we are looking at Western Europe being plunged into the 18th century, complete with 18th century plagues, famine and destitution.

    War correspondent Michael Yon warns of Europe’s collapse under “green” energy policies
    Saturday, I published an interview with war correspondent and analyst Michael Yon, who warns that Europes infatuation with “green” energy policies has pushed the continent to the brink of economic destruction, leading to famine, pandemics and war:

    What Michael Yon understands is that once European industry is shut down, it’s likely going to stay down for many years to come. As OilPrice.com warns in a new story, “Europe’s Energy Crisis Will Not Be “A One Winter Story.” From that story, we learn that this energy crisis is going to be a multi-year catastrophe:

    Even if European countries manage to survive winter, as it appears they will, they will face similar struggles the following winter.

    “This is not a one winter story, let’s just make it very, very clear,” Amrita Sen, founder and director of research at Energy Aspects, told Bloomberg television in an interview on Friday.

    Europe will need to ration demand in order to be able to balance the market, not only this winter but also the next winter and potentially the one after that, she noted.

    Germany also moved this week to nationalize its biggest gas importer, Uniper, to prevent a collapse of the German energy and gas suppliers. Across Europe, industries are forced to curb or shut down production due to soaring energy prices…

    The question remains: How many large energy suppliers and industrial giants can Germany bail out before the Euro collapses from all the money printing? How can Germany (or Western Europe as a whole) function without energy, metals, food and industry?

    Food production is also going offline across Europe
    Not surprisingly, this energy crisis is causing food production to plummet across Europe. As RT.com reports in a story, “EU farmers warn of food shortages“:

    Vegetable producers across northern and western Europe are considering halting operations, thus further threatening food supplies, as a result of the energy crisis hitting the continent, Reuters reported this week.

    According to the report, skyrocketing power and gas prices are the biggest cost facing vegetable farmers employing greenhouse cultivation. Two French farmers renewing their electricity contracts for 2023 told the media outlet they were being quoted prices more than ten times higher than in 2021.

    It begs the question: How are Europeans going to eat this winter if the food growers can’t buy the energy needed to grow food? And how is industry going to function when companies like BASF go offline due to unavailability of natural gas?

    Germany is guaranteeing a collapse of industry by protecting gas supplies to residential households
    The German government’s policies now point to a collapse of industry across Western Europe, given that energy supplies to residential homes are given top priority. This means the cuts in energy usage will have to come from industrial producers like BASF. Via The Guardian:

    Under German law, households would be excluded from gas rationing along with other “protected” customers such as care homes or hospitals. The brunt of reductions would have to be made by industry, accountable for about a third of the country’s demand.

    Thus, industry is the target for severe cuts in energy usage. That means massive, energy-hungry mega-corporations like BASF have little chance of staying in production through this winter, and a shutdown has unknowable long-term consequences.

    Add to this scenario the risk of a nuclear war in Europe, as America and NATO countries keep pushing Russia into a nuclear escalation of some sort. If nuclear bombs begin to fall on European cities, then it’s over for not just European industry but also its financial system and central bank (ECB).

    As Leo Zagami writes on his website, “Europe will soon become a Nuclear wasteland as “the woke” West will be crushed for the arrival of the Antichrist.”

    He sees Western Europe collapsing into a Mad Max type of scenario, with near-total devastation of industry, food production, financial assets and more. David Dubyne told me in a recent interview that he thought Western Europe would not survive the coming winter without mass famine and people freezing to death, likely followed by civil unrest and the collapse of currencies. Just yesterday, the British Pound flash-crashed, revealing that European currencies are on the brink of free fall as investors flee Europe in anticipation of the coming economic doomsday scenarios that we’ve outlined here.

    This is “End of Days” for Europe
    The bottom line? The final chapter of Western Europe appears to be under way as self-inflicted COVID lockdown insanity — followed by “suicide sanctions” against Russia — have brought European industry, food and financial instruments to the brink of annihilation. The Europe we all once knew is about to be transformed into an economic wasteland worse than any post-World War II scenario you can think of, including the bombing of Dresden by allied forces. The hydrocarbon scarcity reality that has already been unleashed on Europe is not fixable for years to come, meaning Europeans are going to have to somehow survive for multiple winters with very little food, energy, industry, jobs or electricity.

    This is the real-world impact of delusional “green” policies that go hand it hand with wokeism of socialists and left-wing fascists who dominate European governments. It turns out you can’t actually power your economy with transgenderism fairy tales and solar power fantasies. Without hydrocarbons, your civilization collapses into ruin.

    That’s exactly what’s coming for Europe. We are watching the End of Days for the EU, the Euro, and the British Empire in particular, with the failure of the City of London and the Vatican to boot. Ten of the world’s most important banks are going to be wiped out across Europe, bringing the west’s financial infrastructure to a crippling end (part of the “great reset” agenda).

    Anyone who doesn’t want to be financially annihilated should probably take a hard look at physical gold and silver or other real-world assets that don’t vanish in a financial collapse. Notably, a lot of assets are about to get a whole lot cheaper, too, as demand destruction accelerates. Watch for prices of automobiles, homes, guns, ammo and certain commodities to fall in the coming months as western societies go bankrupt and are plunged into social chaos and political revolutions.
    For free society!

    I'm pleased to report that after a quick trip to France, I didn't see any adverse effects from the Rungis fire. The shops that I visited all looked well stocked, particularly of fresh foods, and I hope that this continues and that any ill effects on supply from the fire will not occur.

    One thing of note is that when looking for some inexpensive wine for cooking - these are labelled in one shop as "le moin cher" (the least expensive) - the sections with this label were stripped bare. It seems that the French are truly undergoing hardship as I've never seen this happen before, or has Europe's drought this year adversely affected the wine harvest? Maybe a combination of both?
