WTO declares 'Polycrisis', requiring global government, as no one country can solve it — a worldwide problem/reaction/solution:

“This polycrisis... is really unprecedented. And what is very central to all of this is that no one country can solve this crisis on its own. This is the time that you need the world working together. You need global solidarity,” she said.

The WTO chief drew attention to export controls, which, as she repeatedly stated, should be eased in order to avoid making an already dire situation worse. [IAF: this was precisely the script from Podesta's 2015 'Food Chain Reaction Game']

So this is the "Global problems require global solutions" narrative now for food shortages, as has also been used with "climate crisis" and covid.

"Could a food shortage be coming?" Record diesel prices are crushing farmers

“I’ve got a tractor hooked up to my corn planter out here, no diesel fuel, and I can’t afford to get any.”

The crushing reality of record diesel fuel prices is pushing farmers to the brink and may affect food availability. <- [READ IT AGAIN]

“We have reached that point to where it is very close to being a sinking ship,” Kotzmoyer, a legislative affairs specialist for the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, testified to state lawmakers Tuesday. “We are teetering on the edge right now. Food may not be as available because of the fuel price surge."

Stunning footage of thousands (10k+) of dead cattle in Kansas yesterday.

It is reported these cattle died of excessive heat — while temps were not excessively high, there was also high humidity and no wind.

Others are speculating that this is exceptional even for summer heat, and this is another blatant destructive act perpetrated on our food supply.

What do you think?

‘Marching towards starvation’: UN warns of hell on earth if Ukraine war goes on

Unprecedented food shortages could spark riots in dozens of countries as Black Sea blockade adds to pressures, says WFP chief

Dozens of countries risk protests, riots and political violence this year as food prices surge around the world, the head of the food-aid branch of the United Nations has warned.

Director of the UN World Food Programme (WFP), said the world faced “frightening” shortages that could destabilise countries that depend on wheat exports from Ukraine and Russia.

“Even before the Ukraine crisis, we were facing an unprecedented global food crisis because of Covid and fuel price increases,” said Beasley. “Then, we thought it couldn’t get any worse, but this war has been devastating.”

Somehow the “animals are dirty and dangerous” narrative always returns to YOUR animals, and YOUR garden!
