6 Ways Food is Being Used as a Weapon
You had better grow your own Mommy and Sally or you will not have enough food this winter or any other winter spring summer or fall coming. Big brother (and I don't mean little Tommy, I mean UNCLE SAM) has finally gained control over every member of your family through driving food costs up so high that all you can afford is top ramen! Sam did that thru farming regulations (which bankrupt small farmers leaving huge corps in control -- allowing fixed prices.) He did it thru inflation-- Letting wall Street rule, He did it thru engineered scarcity of proteins. And he did it thru leaving so many toxins in commercial foods that they can end your life early. USEFUL to the Social Security Admin so that old people don't cost the GOV any longtime pension money.
Last, you are under BigBro's thumb bigtime if you BELIEVE that you need to ever eat a stitch of AGRIbusiness junk food to be fed! The trick is to READ UP on cooking your own, from scratch. Read up on easy, breezy growing your own, thusly escaping from the hamster cage of starvation. You can control the nutrition thing, eat real food, not phony baloney empty carbs wired for shelf life! (or shelf death.)
Hungry people will do anything for food, which means that those who have control over food can use it as leverage. (Ditto control over WATER which you pay huge prices for and it's GOING UP all the time!)
In 1974, Henry Kissinger actually suggested using food as a weapon to induce targeted population reduction. (found in a previously classified 200-page report, National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.)
Scarily enough, the primary tactic to be applied is that food aid would be withheld from developing nations until they submitted to birth control policies: Starve or stop sexing it up.
There is some established precedent for taking account of family planning performance in appraisal of assistance requirements by AID [U.S. Agency for International Development] and consultative groups. Since population growth is a major determinant of increases in food demand, allocation of scarce resources should take account of what steps a country is taking in population control as well as food production.
In these sensitive relations, however, it is important in style as well as substance to avoid the appearance of coercion. So, food was to be used as just another method of imperial colonization to force countries to conform their policies to those desired by the controllers. Notably, this tactic only works as a blunt weapon on territories enduring a severe economic collapse and with little resources for food production. Today, however, it appears that the entire globe is receiving an arsenal of food bombs as there appears to be a multifaceted attack on people's access to food. In other words, what has been an admitted tactic for nearly 40 years of controlling food aid for regional population reduction has now grown more complex and expansive.
Because of massive corporate consolidation of agriculture, centrally coordinated global regulations, a devalued commodity-dollar and unrestrained commodity speculation, chemical and genetic modification, and real or manipulated food shortages; there is indeed a war being waged -- with food as the primary weapon. Understand, this is a not purely a war on food, but rather a war on the general population. Therefore, it is crucial to understand these tactics in order to defend against them.
Here are six ways food is being used to wage war against the population: Learn to recognize them so when they come YOUR way, you'll realize the guys on high want SOMETHING FROM YOU. Maybe tolerating half the salary.
1. Food inflation: Crippling food inflation is now affecting every corner
of the world with the poorest feeling the worst pangs. The U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization's (FAO) food price index increased by 3 points
to 234 points in June – a 39% increase on the year. These increases are
causing mass starvation and rioting in many poor regions of the world,
but they are also beginning to punish the middle-class in the Industrialized
nations. The price of food is inflating primarily because of a devalued
commodity-dollar from excessive money printing and Wall Street commodity
speculation. Perhaps it's more appropriate to call it commodity manipulation,
not
speculation. As William Engdahl recently pointed out: "The ability to manipulate
the price of essential foods worldwide at will -- almost irrespective of
today’s physical supply and demand for grains -- is quite recent....Up
until the grain crisis of the mid-1970s there was no single 'world price'
for grain, the benchmark for the price
of all foods and food products." What fuels commodity speculation
is not just the obvious decline of the dollar and a flight to something
tangible, but also genuine supply concerns based on a variety of factors
that cause crop shortages like extreme weather or disease. Regardless of
real or manipulated food shortages, food prices will continue to rise because
of increased demand and an incrementally weaker dollar. Luckily, there
are many ways to protect yourself from food inflation and the food war
in general.
2. Shortages: Through supply controls, food shortages have been used
as a weapon to create regional conflicts, to
encourage peacekeeping missions, and as a foreign policy carrot --
as clearly outlined in Kissinger's 1974, Memorandum 200. The most recent
examples can be found with the current and ongoing negotiations with
North Korea who perpetually holds a nuclear gun to the West's head
in exchange for food. Somalia, who was food self-sufficient until the 1970s,
has become a "failed state" because of food shortages. Significantly, the
situation in Somalia and other large-scale famine are usually caused by
a manipulated economic collapse. In fact, many have reported that the lack
of food was an underlying factor of the Egyptian revolution. Because
of corporate consolidation of staple crops such as corn, soybeans, and
wheat -- and the central control of food aid -- it is now easy to manipulate
food shortages. But, clearly, there are also catastrophic weather events
that destroy production in entire regions such as the heat wave in Russia
last summer that caused them to restrict
wheat exports in what some referred to as food wars. Many countries
who had contracts with Russia were not happy, and their protectionist move
had global effects on the food prices. In other words, imminent food
shortages are typically a localized problem, but because the food system
is so interconnected, local problems now affect the global community.
3. Chemical Additives: Chemical additives, from pesticides to preservatives,
can only be viewed as a weapon in the depopulation agenda. Clearly, laboratory-concocted
chemicals were never meant for human consumption. Therefore, they can only
be attributed to an effort to deliberately and slowly poison the population.
Many food and drink toxins like fluoride, aspartame, or monosodium glutamate
(MSG) are now well-known to have negative health effects. Other lab creations
like high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are also beginning to prove very
unhealthy with tests showing mercury in corn syrup. Incidentally, we
dare you to find any sweet food that doesn't contain either aspartame or
HFCS. Even wholesome Campbell's Tomato soup has HFCS, as does Heinz
ketchup -- while nearly every candy or gum contains aspartame. It's
estimated that the average American consumes 12 teaspoons of HFCS per day,
while the younger population consumes nearly double that. "Mercury
is toxic in all its forms. Given how much high-fructose corn syrup
is consumed by children, it could be a significant additional source of
mercury never before considered," said Dr. David Wallinga of the Agriculture
and Trade Policy whose study found about a third of brand-name foods with
HFCS had measurable amounts of mercury. >
Pesticides fall into the chemical additive category -- GM pesticides
especially (called Bt toxins). They are found in the blood stream of nearly
all North Americans, and even in 80% of their unborn babies. It is presumed
these toxins are acquired by eating genetically modified corn or soy, and
from the livestock that feed on it. A recent study proved that the chemical
found in best-selling pesticides, glyphosate, causes birth defects among
other ailments. We must understand that although all of these toxins, and
a host of others, are approved for consumption by the FDA, it doesn't make
them safe. And even the ones that have exotic names but have yet to be
proven to have ill effects surely have a cumulative impact on human health.
They're so pervasive that it seems impossible to evade them, but there
are still ways to eat like a human.
4. Regulations: By restricting food freedom, regulatory agencies purposely
increase dependence on the Big Ag monopoly cartel that fully controls the
basic building blocks of food. Simply put, those who control the corn,
wheat, soybeans and rice, control all food, since all livestock and all
processed foods are dependent on those
food sources. In America, and increasingly around the world, this cartel
places their cronies in government regulatory agencies like the USDA to
weed out their competition through excessive regulation. Furthermore,
this restriction of food freedom is happening in concert across the
globe, precisely because it is a top-down globalist initiative driven by
international regulatory agencies such as the World Trade Organization
and the United Nations. It is a complex, interwoven agenda that takes into
account everything from health safety to land use rights in order to force
independent food producers to conform in ways that only benefit a global
corporate structure. Regulatory agencies are one of the primary weapons
deployed against independent living.
5. Genetic Modification: There are many reasons to avoid eating genetically
modified food, from health concerns to supporting a fundamentally evil
food cartel. Genetically modified foods are the path to monopolies over
human life through patented technology and environmental destruction by
chemical-heavy monoculture practices. GMOs are so pervasive in the United
States that it is estimated that 70% of the average American diet contains
them. Many European countries, and other regions, have rejected GMOs. Hungary
recently destroyed illegal GM corn crops and plans to make distributing
seeds a felony offense. However, because of corporate/political pressure,
most resistant countries are being forced to adopt them. All of this despite
the fact that environmental infection
and contamination are proven effects of transgenic plants. Meanwhile,
the control is being implemented under convoluted patent laws, where the
mutation itself signifies originality and control over the natural organism
it imitates.
6. The Weather: Weather undeniably affects food
access and food costs. One glance at maps across the globe reveals
that
food production areas are being especially hard hit, and we are seeing
prices rise accordingly. These natural events can be exploited both
by
speculators and governments. However, with the introduction of weather
modification, invested in by those such as Bill Gates and openly
promoted by elite globalist think tanks, concerns have been raised
over
the possibility that governments could use weather as a deliberate
weapon to create food wars. Accusations have already been leveled
charging exactly that. While some might dismiss the various
possibilities of "steering the weather" for malevolent purposes as
conspiracy, it is much more difficult to ignore the 1996 document
presented to the Air Force titled Owning the Weather 2025 (PDF),
which
explicitly states as a heading on page 10: Applying Weather-modification
to Military Operations. One key section states that weather
control
could be virtual, as well as literal: Offensive abilities could
provide spoofing options to create virtual weather in the enemy's
sensory and information systems, making it more likely for them to
make
decisions producing results of our choosing rather than theirs. It
would
also allow for the capability to mask or disguise our
weather-modification activities. Also key to the feasibility of
such a system is the ability to model the extremely complex nonlinear
system of global weather in ways that can accurately predict the outcome
of changes in the influencing variables.Conceivably, with enough
lead time and the right conditions, you could get “made-to-order”
weather. This would certainly be the ultimate endgame for anyone wishing
to use food as a weapon of control and profit. This possibility should
not be easily dismissed, but rather it warrants open-minded
investigation and research. > As we can see, food control is full
spectrum, with wars being declared on the individual, states, and
sovereign nations simultaneously. Food controllers utilize health,
politics, and economics to integrate their agenda. Only full spectrum
solutions can be employed as protection. There is much hope to be
offered through alternative markets, barter systems, and local co-ops.
