I really don't want to get on the Bill Gates conspiracy train.
He's an opportunistic business shark who has spent decades weaseling his way into positions of power, and he's become one of the richest men on the planet for his acumen in that area.
That being said, there's a reason the world's richest people got ludicrously richer throughout the pandemic, and why they are likely to get even richer during whatever crisis comes next...
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has rattled the global economy, creating a volatile stock market and sending oil and gas prices to unprecedented levels.
High gas prices are in turn raising the price of fertilizer, which is crucial for the nutrients in crops that billions of people need to live.
Gotta admit, when you're on the "we-need-less-people-to-save-the-planet" team, some mass starvation sounds better than an NIH funded virus that escaped a Chinese lab!
Speaking of China, much of the supply-chain issue with fertilizer began last summer, when China announced it was curbing fertilizer exports to focus on domestic supply due to the internal dysfunctions its communist police state has a tendency of creating.
Our reliance on China caused the entire world supply to be strained, and now it's being strained further.
Peter Zeihan, a geopolitical analyst and author, told FOX Business the world was on the verge of "the worst fertilizer situation in modern history in terms of supply" before the Russians rolled into Ukraine.
"All three source materials that go into fertilizer (phosphate, nitrogen, potash) are subject to abject shortage. And even if the war were to stop tomorrow, it's already too late. It's too late for the planting season for the Northern Hemisphere this year."
Zeihan forecasted that the crisis will hit Brazil, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia the hardest as they will likely see significantly lower yields "than what is necessary to support the global population."
"And as food prices rise, as they've been for the last two weeks – and pretty sharply – farmers will do what farmers do. They will plant what they think that they can grow for the greatest bang for their buck," Zeihan said. "So, I can see (the United States) increasing our production and our exports by a small amount. But the scale of what we're talking about here is insufficient food for hundreds of millions of people."
It's funny how the woke like to talk about the historic injustices of the world's imperialistic powers, but they are totally blind to the ways those in power – from Putin to Joe Biden to Jeffrey Epstein to Bill Gates – are causing mass suffering to the world's poor with things like lockdowns, mandates, warmongering, open borders, climate virtue signaling, the sexual indoctrination of kids, and rare-earth mining in developing nations for electric batteries.
But how bad is the fertilizer/food problem in the States alone?
Take a gander:
Translation: Enjoy the types of food the masses have grown to enjoy for the first time in human history over the last century, because you might not be getting the foods you love for awhile.
Oh, then break out your great-grandma's canning and farming knowledge that got her through the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. You're gonna need it.
It's not America, however, that needs to worry the most:
Manish Raizada, a professor in the Department of Plant Agriculture at the Canadian University of Guelph, predicted that the crisis has the potential to impact billions of people in developing nations who rely on subsistence farms.
"Anytime essential oil or natural gas prices increase, nitrogen fertilizer prices increase. And the last time this really happened was around 2008 when there was a big shock worldwide. It pushed 150 million more people on earth into chronic malnutrition," Raizada said. "I really fear that's happening right now."
You want to know why conservatives are against stupid climate games and other woke policies? This is it.
But hey, in the aftermath of mass starvation, those who control assets like farmland are gonna make it big to reshape the world in their image. And Bill Gates is now the largest private owner of farmland in America.
It's a great time to be a woke elite!
