World Bank President David Malpass appears on CBS with media propagandist Margaret Brennan, a woman of exceptionally low intelligence, to discuss the current state of global economics and the likely consequences. I have been saying this for a year and I will repeat, the absence of food will change things.
Within the interview [Transcript Here] the status and solutions that Malpass outlines are accurate and factual, albeit couched in gentle terms acceptable to the globalists. As noted by Malpass, if a shift in messaging and actual policy for energy and finance does not take place, the outcome will be bad for food production and government stability.
The World Bank president accurately states increased production is urgently needed to avoid global shortages. However, that increase in production is only possible if the leaders of the largest economies reverse their positions on energy development and finance. The world needs oil and natural gas production to increase dramatically in order to stave off food shortages. Unfortunately, those pragmatic recommendations are falling on deaf political ears. WATCH:
[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: There are a lot of stressors on the global economic system right now, how do you describe where we are?
MALPASS: It’s a sharp slowdown, including even China. So we’ve seen the world growth fall by half since January in terms of GDP growth. But there’s also shortages, there’s inflation. And the food shortages for the poorer countries are becoming a significant concern, they already are.
MARGARET BRENNAN: I mean, global inflation, it’s not just the US it’s other wealthy countries around the world. But you’re also describing a recipe for global instability.
MALPASS: It feeds in when there’s not enough food that for- for weaker countries, poorer countries, that- that causes instability. And it’s a big factor in the turnover of governments that’s been occurring in quite a few of the countries. And then there also has to be much more discussion of what to do about the fiscal challenges that you know, running out of money for government as well as food. And so these all go together into fragility, very concerning.
MARGARET BRENNAN: COVID caused the deepest global recession since World War Two. Now, the world economy is in danger because of this Russian invasion in Ukraine. How do you avoid a global recession with all of these factors?
MALPASS: Some countries, it’s going to be very hard to do that. I think that leadership from the stronger countries is very important. There are a lot of possibilities, tools, for example, the- the central banks have many more tools than in 2008. You know, there were, there are regulatory tools that they have, they now hold huge bond portfolios, those could be- those are all funded by money from banks. So if there is reduction in the bond portfolios, that frees up capital that could be used for these supply chains that are so strained. The bottom line is there needs to be lots more production and that’s most available to the strongest countries. The U.S. is the world’s biggest economy and can increase production more than anybody else. And so that becomes one of the key variables in the outlook. What are you doing today, to increase production of everything, the world needs practically everything that the U.S. makes and there needs to be a process to really boost that production.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So if you were talking to Jerome Powell, that chair of the US Federal Reserve, you would say focus less on interest rates, focus more on what?
MALPASS: He’s got multiple tools. One is regulatory policy, the Fed is a sort of an important regulator of banks. So let the banks lend more. But then also on the bond side, reducing the bond portfolio would return more money to banks, all of the money being used to hold the bond portfolio comes from banks. And if they had more, they could lend and also the non-bank sector of the U.S. economy. That’s one of the most innovative, and it could put more money into the supply chain.
MARGARET BRENNAN: It’s interesting, you say that, the banks, I heard something from a U.S. official talking about that as an impediment to oil companies right now and President Biden’s calling on them to produce more energy. Is that a problem, that you see?
MALPASS: Big problem, and it’s really around the world markets look ahead, and they look at what the regulatory policy is going to be into the future. So if you’re an oil company, you hear the message from all around that, that the- the politicians don’t want your oil. And so- so then you- you drill less you put you make less of your R&D plans. You know, R&D is research and development is critical to the innovation in every sector. In developing countries, they aren’t producing energy either, because they’re constrained by bank regulations by the lack of financing.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But even at this meeting of the largest global, you know, Western economies at the G7, there’s going to be focus on sustainability, there’s going to be focus on climate change, the message there is switch away from fossil fuels. But then at the same time, you’re hearing Germany, build a coal burning once again, the United States urging oil and gas production once again, because of the crisis with Russia. So how do all these pieces fit together without impacting growth in a negative way?
MALPASS: There’s an inconsistency [in energy policy] and it’s a moment in time the world’s trying to reduce the dependence on Russia, and also on China. And it needs to keep markets open and not restrict exports and finance the new investments that’s needed, and there’s not clarity in Europe. You know, some of the countries want nuclear power, some want natural gas, and they’re talking about importing natural gas, but they’re doing it slowly. So that for the poorer countries in the world, this is also- it’s a conundrum, how are we going to get forward when Europe is drawing in so much of the world’s natural gas.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So a state department official said, a few days ago, food crisis will be at least a three-year problem. What time horizon do you put on the food crisis and the energy crisis?
MALPASS: I’ll say one thing, it’s possible to produce enough to soften that crisis. But at the rate that we’re going right now, the fertilizer isn’t being made, you know, fertilizer comes a giant source of fertilizer is from natural gas, through the ammonium channel into the most useful fertilizer. And it also is used to make the electricity that converts the minerals into fertilizer, and that’s just not happening. So a lot of the world is shutting down for lack of fertilizer, and then those shortages of crops will last for multiple years. We need to break that cycle, and do it pretty forcefully now, through announcements. The markets listen to what the governments are saying. And I think if the governments were saying, if the central banks were saying there’ll be currency stability, meaning years and years from now, the currencies won’t have devalued, they won’t be causing inflation, they’re going to be strong and stable for the long term, that would go a long way and the same thing on this production side of the economies, say that you want your strong economies to produce twice as much as they are right now. That’s within reach for many of these innovation techniques.
MARGARET BRENNAN: The Federal Reserve Chair said this week in this country, that recession is certainly a possibility, in part because of higher interest rates. Citigroup puts the odds of a recession at 50%. What’s your projection here for the world’s most important economy?
MALPASS: We put out a report three weeks ago that didn’t have the US in recession. But we said in downside scenarios there could be and so I don’t disagree with those estimates that you’re seeing there. And I would say the key variable is what do you do today to provide more production that addresses both the recession problem and also the inflation problem because you- you just push goods into the market and you make it clear to the world, we’re going to produce so much, you won’t be able to get that price.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So do you agree with Fed officials when they say it’s going to take at least two years, a couple of years before we get inflation back down to 2%?
MALPASS: It’s going to take time to come down, but again, that depends on what our- what’s your forecast for oil prices, for natural gas prices, for fertilizer? I guess it’s- it’s clearly- it’s going to take- months and months and maybe two years to bring inflation back down. It- markets respond, though, to signals. And so I think the important question is, can there be enough signals out of the U.S. but also the other advanced- the big economies, that they’re going to provide more production. And the reason I keep coming back to that central banks have a lot to do with whether businesses feel that they can borrow more money. It’s the regulatory policy, also this, this control of so many bonds, you know, in Japan, they’ve bought up a huge part of the national debt, so the central bank, but takes money from the banking system and buys government bonds. That’s not adding to supply in Japan.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So lastly, before I let you go, you have warned on this program before about a debt crisis in these developing countries, the emerging markets, with interest rates headed up is that now where we are, are we at crisis?
MALPASS: We’re at crisis, and we see more countries falling in one by one, we’ve seen that Sri Lanka in the very grave difficulties there. But it’s, it’s going to be many countries because of as you say, the interest rates going up and also their GDP going down in- in this slow growth environment of the world. The solution is a lot more production intent from the advanced economies.
MARGARET BRENNAN: A perilous moment for the global economy, David.
MALPASS: Dangerous, and I just hope we can push through strongly and with confidence.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Thank you very much for your time.
Hungry people with guns. What could go wrong?
gun country won’t go hungry.
un-gun countries will starve. We will just see price shock here in America.
Thats about right
I disagree. The USSA will feel real pain and millions more will die as a direct result of O’Bidenomics. Government’s solution to problems created by bloated corrupt government is always more government. I have said for over 20 years that if you continue to grow government exponentially you cannot remain free. With bigger government comes more waste, fraud and corruption! They have to control everything we do and now we are allowing them to kill us with deadly experimental drugs that are NOT VACCINES! The US dollar is well on its way to being worthless. Everything our hijacked stolen government does only causes more death and harm to American’s and the rest of the world. They control the media so the Sheeple around the world and at home will remain in the dark. What can we do? 3 RETIRED MILITARY GENERALS ARE WARNING ALL AMERICANS! IF WE DON’T FIGHT BACK OUR FREEDOM AND COUNTRY IS GONE! America is in deep peril and fighting for survival!

We The People need to convene a Convention of States to repeal the Federal Income Tax and to forbid indiscriminate money-printing. DEFUND THE SWAMP!
Convention of States is a trick. Once in one, they can rewrite the whole constitution, not just the part that needs fixed.
Thanks Philip. Will watch later.
On a lighter note the old country philosophers are mostly right.
I fondly recall a plummy BBC reporter asking an old country yokel who he was going to vote for in an upcoming British election.
The old boy said ‘I don’t vote’
The stuffed shirt asked in astonishment ‘Why not?
‘It does not matter who I vote for – the bloody government gets in’
The rural land owners in the US are generally self reliant. The battles will come when those same land owners are forced to defend their land and food. No amount of bs “gun control” will keep hard-core land owners from keeping what’s theirs
What could go wrong without a gun if there’s hungry people? not enough for gun shy, unable control self so unable control triggers? Stupid people not going shut it up till they eat with sporks and live surrounded by rubber walls. Get real and stop being overly DOMESTICATED… we come from dirt, dust to dust no matter the genic code, spirit or brain-trained belief a gun will hurt you! Only a person’s action can perform pain, no piece of metal!
Unfortunately I suspect this is the plan. This is why you have seen the welcome wagon rolled out for hoards of migrants. This is not your grandma’s amnesty plan anymore. This is a Chinese Fire Drill to get as many mouths over here to feed as possible before the squeeze. They know forcibly removing firearms from America is futile. They may have decided the best way to accomplish this monumental task is to have us do it ourselves.
These TV bimbos are generally thin – you’d think they’d be more concerned about the coming food shortages…
Add to that, they are living in cities that are going to be pure anarchy if food stops coming.
Can you imagine NYC without food. The Ghetto Rats will be storming all those expensive apartments that surround Central Park and robbing anything available. There won’t be enough security to keep these people safe. Remember the PO PO will be starving as well and will probably be joining the Rats.
Within four weeks the city dwellers will be eating each other. ‘Should be a plan to keep them in the cities, and not let them out raping and pillaging in the country side.
I have a hunch that “We’re not going to be in this together.”(tm) when the urban community storms up Main St. USA demanding things.
That’s a better strategy than sitting at home waiting for them to come for your home, food and family. Sounds like a good project for our truckers to work on.
Those NYC apartments will be empty of residents & their money gone with them. The “TV stars” will broadcast from anywhere else in the World to keep feeding the BS to the American mushrooms. The Democrats WILL. destroy the cities and millions of people that can’t escape. This is the WEF plan and the Dims are all in.
With the WEF’s last project being pretty much a flop (population reduced by only a few million people), It’s likely they have something far more substantial in the works.
That looks more like an exercise of control than reduction of population.
Very few people are concerned about the coming food shortages, and they will stay that way until the shortages begin to seriously impact them. The problem is worse if they took the blue pill and compounded even more by ridiculously high salaries. Starvation is always a poor man’s problem. What, Margaret worry?
Someone called them all Pfizer employees. Is it true, big Pharma can only advertise in the US?
These problems are being created to bring a planned collapse so people will DEMAND a ” New Order ” in the world.
They are imagining that if they promise food that people will do what they want.
And yet these “leaders” can’t even feed the populations of their own countries. This will be another test of the lethal passivity western people have embraced. If we can’t even stop our politicians from exporting food when our own shelves are empty, we deserve to starve.
My thinking exactly – I get this feeling these people are sitting there going “Good grief, what will it take to get these idiots to revolt”- so they can enact a global “security” lockdown – for our own good of course. Naturally the special “event” goons will be supplied with enough incendiary material to make the TV visual as alarming and frightening as possible. They have to create the illusion that the world is ending and ONLY they can save us. Of course we’ll have to do whatever they tell us, but again it’ll only be for our own good – sort-of.
Well, most of us have read the Bible and we know that we will not bow down to false gods. Come what may.
Lol….nope.
…and eventually, the people will proclaim a leader of the “new order” and he will be the antichrist. He’ll do wonders, even proclaim himself god, all, exactly as prophecy foretold. Things aren’t falling apart, they’re falling into place.
Agree.
Yes they are. After the rapture, the world will be in chaos. The people left will gladly follow the antichrist who will ‘take charge’ of the situation.
Abomination of Desolation? Are the Hebrews ready to rebuild the Temple, yet?
Al Aqsa mosque is still there, so I think it would mean war with the Islamic world if they tried. Somehow that mosque must go before the temple can be built again.
There have been recent discoveries that place the original temple in a place unoccupied. Plus, the rebuild of the temple could be an old tent affair from their days of wandering in the wilderness. It does not have to be construction of an actual stick or mortar building. Two red heifers have been born, last year IIRC.
If I were in a 3rd world country, that New World Order would be one where countries with lots of food and fertilizer and oil traded them in exchange for gold or alternate commodities or even labor.
When your stomach is empty, western BS that doesn’t deliver real solutions are not going to work. The BRICS have the commodities and they have the political ideology that exists in the real world that recognizes the need and desire for those commodities.
The woke have taken over the west and nothing will stop them from their insane desire to cull the world of humanity and force depraved morality on the survivors. We are in a profoundly bizarre situation where rooting against evil is rooting against ourselves.
“so the ‘Sheeple’ will Demand. Educated conservatives will demand no such thing.

Swamp draining is a serious business.
✝️God, Help. Please.
how are these food shortages happening?
Did COVID policy make food sit and rot? then the next season manipulated situations made the fertilizer so high it wasnt profitable to grow?
Corruption makes food rot. Remember how much was sitting around in Puerto Rico during the hurricane?
Yeah, and they want to be a state. Can’t grow their own food, must steal it from others, and then can’t distribute the emergency food because the NG wouldn’t come to work or clear the roads. Then it was stolen.
Just cut them loose.
Their truckers were too good to come to San Juan and move the food from the port. The NG had cleared the roads and built a landing strip on a nearby mountain. The perishables had working generators. The b!tch mayor let the generators run out of fuel and wouldn’t let the truckers go off strike and the food rotted.
And we are chock-a-block with Puerto Ricans in Florida as a result. God help us.
In 2020, there was a massive shift in how Americans consumed food as a result of shutting down the economy. As sundance pointed out, everyone who got most of their nutrition outside the home (restaurants) had to shift to in-home dining (grocery stores). This stressed the supply system, which operates on a “Just in Time” basis. There was simply no way shift the supply chains to fit the shift in consumption in a short period of time.
Farmers and ranchers could get their food to markets. The restaurants were closed, and there was no way for the markets to absorb the restaurants’ food supplies because the markets lacked the logistical capacity to do so.
Additionally, there were disruptions in plants, production facilities, and shipping facilities as businesses adopted the ineffective policies designed to limit community spread (such as social distancing).
In 2020 and in 2021, the supply chains underwent stress that depleted existing supply chains.
Starting after the 2020 election, the new administration and Democratic governors began ramming through Green New Deal policies. These put new stresses on the supply chain. The clearest example is the West Coast port backlog, caused by new policies which now demand all trucks servicing the ports be low emission. There are not enough trucks to make up the difference. Thus a backlog.
Most disasterous of all has been the energy policies. No more oil or gas leases means less available and more expensive oil and gas. That drives up the cost of producing and shipping everything. Then came the Russian sanctions, which not only further reduced energy available to the West but reduced the amount of fertilizer available as well.
Sundance has pointed out the US stores about one year’s worth of food ahead of time. In normal times this allows the food supply to be smoothed out when there is a bad harvest or other problems. However, the combination of covid and the New Green Deal policies are now putting extreme stress on the global food system.
All of this has very little to do with covid, and much to do with the diasterous and destructive policies made by Western leaders in the name of covid and Ukrainian sovereignty.
About a year ago, a Canadian farmer filmed himself dumping a truck of 20,000 chickens which he was going to have to slaughter. The Trudeau government’s covid policies did not allow him to get the chickens to market.
That is what the covid policies did to the food supply.
Add to all this in 2022 especially, the government is killing chickens, turkeys, and pigs in the name of bird and swine “flus,” and all the “mysterious” explosions, fires, and total destruction of food processing plants, chicken and turkey farms, and slaughter houses, all over the country.
Coinkydinks, right?
More like enemy action
EXACTLY SO!
Stalin starved hundreds of thousands of farmers to death in 1932-33 by forcing them to send all the grain they produced to the cities. Those who tried to glean the fields of any overlooked kernels of grain were shot to death by Stalin’s soldiers. Although estimates vary, approximately 5 to 7 million people were starved to death in an officially recognized genocide. It’s called Holodomor, and the people were Kulaks, Ukrainian peasants living in what was then a part of the Soviet Socialist Republic. They had become prosperous enough as farmers to achieve a near middle class status. Raising themselves above the level of landless peasants made them seem a threat to the totalitarian Soviet regime. Genocide is a feature of communism, not an anomaly. We would be fools to overlook indications of artificially created shortages of life-sustaining supplies — food of course, being the most critical commodity.
But, first, they were stripped of their weapons.
True, but rogue governments have so any ways to assault their people in mind and body that I wonder how much good it will do us to have guns. Of course, we must never give up our right to bear arms. Is it enough save our freedom? I want to believe so.
Our attitude is the biggest defense. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn pointed out how much difference it would have made just if the cars that took people away had their tires knifed while in the neighborhood.
FDR starved 7 million Americans to death in the Great Depression, an American forced urbanization, mechanization, and centralization scheme that took nearly ten years and ended only when the Communist Roosevelt managed to ignore a Japanese delegation for three days in order to permit the bombing of Pearl Harbor so that the United States could be plunged into a two-front total war which would finalize the industrialization and deracinization of America’s populace making the American people a largely urban and suburban faceless, rootless, faithless mass-marketing blob-Borg going forward.
Compare the 1930 and 1940 census. We lost 7 million souls, and not to emigration, either. FDR was a murdering Communist thug whose murderous policies resulted in moving Americans off the farm, into cities and suburbia, out of the churches, and away from any knowledge of our roots and families. We became much easier to control when our children no longer knew their grand parents, much less their great grandparents and where their people were from.
see my post above.
Just diesel price increases are enough to kill a balance sheet for wine grapes. How about a nice $50 bottle of Pinot Noir to go with your crickets? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Indeed, diesel prices and availability at any price are KEY.
What the World Bank President seems to suggest here is that reduced production is the largest cause of food shortages. COVID contributed to the reduced production (of everything-not just food). I don’t know, but am guessing any food wasted during the pandemic was insignificant to the problems we have in the pipeline.
There are several good articles in the archives at CTH about the cycles of food production and distribution work and how disruptions in production work their way through the system. Look up “Food” in the archives.
There are also articles in the archives about where fertilizer comes from (a huge percentage from Ukraine and Russia) and if you can’t get or can’t afford to get fertilizer at the right time in the production cycle, that creates a multi-year problem.
Lack of fertilizer makes prices for what’s available skyrocket. The increased cost gets added to the price of food for people and animals raised for meat.
Biden’s first day in office, he shut down major oil pipelines. The smaller supply of oil caused sharp price increases. Add the increased energy cost and you can see how food is skyrocketing.
Then consider some farmers couldn’t produce as much (or any) crops because they couldn’t get or couldn’t afford fertilizer. They produce less-less supply-more price increases.
Joe Biden intentionally shut down US oil production and instigated the war in Ukraine. Those 2 things are major causes of decreased food production and increased prices. Hard to imagine that was not his (or his handlers’) intention.
The answers are out there.
The “ruling classes” who are supposed to be the “grown-ups in the room” are too stupid and/or too corrupt to do what is needed.
President Trump – if he can overcome the cheating – will fix this in a year.
I hope you are right.
We will overcome the cheating. We just haven’t been shown all of the evidence just yet. It will come soon.
I believe President Trump said “We could fix this in 30 minutes” at 1 of his rallies.
yup
Staying in a cabin in Montana this week 15 miles outside of a town of 700 people. We have glorious mountain views and a view of a run down old barn with a “Trump 2020 No More Bullshxt” sign on the side. It makes me happy every time I look at it.
Pro-tip: the political establishment ain’t reversing!
War on oil is war on your world. It’s really that simple. The cultist just don’t get it.
yes they do it’s the plan.
JW, the only thing that makes sense to me about the “war on oil” is that wealthy countries have made up “climate change” as an excuse to save their own supplies and use up the supplies of countries like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia while preserving their own. Otherwise, how do we explain Biden shutting down US production thru existing pipelines, then begging SA to produce more and ship it all the way around the globe to us. How could that possibly be considered a “green” policy?
So very shortsighted really…….These maybe issues today…. but not the most important issues in the long run.
How about mass migration…and the fact that African countries are breeding so fast that we will have another billion by 2050 and the associated problems…housing ….. water…… infrastructure …state dependency…… war….and untruthful countries…..
The world does not really revolve around countries that have no idea how to feed themselves…..even though they have been around 400 thousand years longer than anyone else!
The over population narrative is a myth.
There is ample land and farmers to raise food for the people of this planet.
The selfish leaders are to blame as we can see happening here in America.
https://commonplacefacts.com/2019/08/05/could-the-worlds-population-fit-into-one-u-s-state/amp/
Most of this new population will come from Africa who cannot feed themselves today let alone when there are two billion more of them.
The issue has never been land…there is so much arable land in Africa to feed them all….. you know just like when the colonials did…… and it may have seemed very easy to some like Mugabe eh?
The problem is corruption.
Where do you get this? I have heard for a long time, from many sources, that it is not possible in the near future for the earth’s population to go much over 9 billion, because for instance the peak age of population in China is now in their mid-50s, and so many nations around the world have far below replacement reproduction. Doesn’t matter how many people you have; if the women are beyond childbearing age, the population isn’t going up for a while. And now we are starting to see infertility effects from the vaccine.
Im sorry for wishing for catastrophe … but I say … HARDER! FASTER! Murder 200 million people like the communists did. Kill a big chunk of the world’s population via your FAKE “green” policies. Go ahead … vilify “Big Oil”. The same Big Oil that keeps people warm and fed. Go ahead … slaughter people.
sadly, that is the ONLY way to bring the people under age 40 who have been brainwashed by their public school teachers to embrace a world without “dirty” fossil fuels. Let them embrace a world in which they cannot afford to feed themselves.
I hear you. I don’t wish starvation and war on anyone. But, the globalists do and that’s where we are. The pious and oblivious people in my extended family, will not understand until there’s nothing on the shelves, no gas for their cars, no money in their bank accounts, etc. I do believe some of them will get in the cattle cars. I’ve preached it until I decided to be quiet and just do it rather than talk about it. They know I moved to a farm in the boonies and believe the 2nd Amendment shall not be infringed – they still don’t understand it. They prefer their city niceties and vacations. They may never understand it. From Holocaust testimonies, many survivors talked about how their family members were still in denial as they walked to the gas chambers. I guess it’s human nature to not face the truth early on and do something about it – I guess a lot of people don’t like facing hard truths. It’s so sad to me when the handwriting is written so plainly on the wall. It’s so obvious. Why can’t they face the truth? I just don’t know.
I pray for divine intervention.
Amen.
Many of us have loved ones who won’t even stock up on a little extra food “just in case”. I think for them it is not about the hassle. It’s that taking any steps to protect themselves would require them to look at something scary. We pray for them.
We built our own family butchery this year. It is well equipped with professional slicers, grinders, and meat saws. We can hang up to 4 beef in our cooler. Huge garden, large orchard. Grape vines. Ponds to fish in. Screw these evil globalists. No one in our circle of family or friends will go hungry.
I commend you but the world you describe is not one I want to live in. So you have enough people with enough guns to keep away the ever larger groups looking to take what you have? No thanks.
What is your alternative then? To be empty and defenseless? To go ahead and die then? Help me, I’m misunderstanding you.
Just be aware that the local authorities know of your set up. If your area begins to experience food shortages, they will come knocking asking for contributions for the community. At first, they will be polite and even grateful for your donations, but it will never be enough. At some point you may be charged with hoarding and your operation will be taken over. A defensive perimeter with plenty of ammunition might be a worthwhile investment.
I have no doubt a committee is meeting somewhere, to address a challenging issue;
The MUST develop and promulgate a new word, with negative connotations, to replace “black market”,..due to its obvious rascist overtones.
Hording and black marketeering, by whatever name WILL be villified, and illegal.
I’m just not sure anyone will CARE.
Shoot the first and second one that shows up. The third one will say you weren’t home.
If your little dream world was in South Africa, how long till your whole family was out among your grape vines with burning tires around your necks?
If your neighborhood looks like SA you have settled in the wrong place.
LOL! He better have a FAL!
well done.
The fewer people around you who know this, the better off you will be.
Good for you. I don’t understand some of the comments here. Why wouldn’t anyone be thankful for trying to be more self-sufficient? I would be happy to be your neighbor since I need farm animals butchered from time to time.
People are pointing out that if a small group is prospering and all their neighbors are starving, the prosperous ones had better be able to defend what they have if they want to keep it and their lives.
Build berms, defensive positions, tire spikes or other means to close roads and paths. And plenty of ammunition and the people who know how to use it.
I think what the commenters are saying is that when the spit hits the fan, you will not survive just because you have provisions. You may survive a little longer, but in the end, you will lose it all to the gangs of starving people. If you were in an area that is very isolated and very hard to get to and surrounded by natural barriers, and you have plenty of ammo and guns, you might survive longer.
Gangs of starving people are gangs of dying people. First 90 days thins out the herd. Old, fat, sick, stupid, lazy,die first. Pay attention to Bosnia. They went tribal overnight.
At least American Woman has a plan. It’s good to be prepared for what may happen, since we can’t predict to future. It’s impossible to be prepared for all eventuallities with out God’s help.
Yes, which is better: having nothing like everybody around you, or earning the gratitude of those around you by helping them? Up until recently, the US was generally appreciated around the world for a national version of doing the latter. The result was people trying to come to America to join in the bounty.
Proverbs 11:26 “The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.”
I am trying very hard to duplicate this.
This guy should just say it. The Green New Deal policies are Stalin/Mao level stupid and disastrous. This technocrat/leftist social engineering NEVER WORKS. Oh, let’s starve people so we can get them to accept collective farming! Oh, let’s force countries off fossil fuels, even though 40% of the world’s population in China, India and Russia aren’t going to play along. So we will destroy the West economically, cause mass starvation and social/political unrest, and we still won’t save the planet from ‘carbon pollution’. Stop these woketards now. Sane people stand up.
He did say it.
“…it’s a big factor in the turnover of governments that’s been occurring in quite a few of the countries.”
The shortages, inflation, economic crises around the world, is the fault of western governments that morphed into a central world government, he just had to use language that hid the message.
I wonder what the illegals brought in by this admin were told; oh, I know, the west is the problem, ruined your countries and we are taking their guns. Go get your land… Hope people see this…and remember the caravans of mostly men of a fighting age.
So is Bungles Biden and gang of stooges still going to divert corn from the food supply to increase ethanol in fuel?
mike>: Yes, all across the US, ethanol is in fuel supply, reducing mileage and corroding engine parts.
The breeds of corn used for ethanol are not used for food. They are different strains.
It is field corn. It can be converted to food.

Noah Webster Jr 1786- “It prevents the adoption of any measures that are requisite for us as a nation; it keeps us from paying our honest debts…It also throws out of our power all the profits of commerce, and this drains us of cash. Is not this the devil? Yes, my countrymen, an empty purse is the devil.”
You will own nothing and be happy
I don’t need some dumb ass to tell me the solution. All I need to know is Trump will solve it.
Margaret Brennan won’t be starving or joining any food riots.
Who knows what favors she provides to those in power.
Someone somewhere is pretty sure she will taste like chicken.
“What are you doing today, to increase production of everything, the world needs practically everything that the U.S. makes and there needs to be a process to really boost that production.”
A thick ooze of crony caps & commies requires GooGone first.
They’re not slowing down. In fact, they’re accelerating their plans:
“While at G7, Biden Announces Plan for Massive Vaccine Plant: ‘Hundreds of Millions of Doses Annually’ for Covid-19”
https://beckernews.com/biden-g7-45627/
FTA: President Joe Biden announced that his administration will pledge $200 billion towards a new Global Infrastructure Partnership that includes major health projects like a massive vaccine plant to produce ‘hundreds of millions’ of doses for Covid-19 and other diseases.
“We’re here today because we’re making this commitment together as a G-7 in coordination with one another to maximize the impact of our work collectively,” he added. “We aim to mobilize nearly 600 billion from the G-7 by 2027.”
“That’s why the United States together, the G-7 partners in the world bank are investing in a new industrial scale vaccine manufacturing facility in Senegal,” he said. “When complete we’ll have the potential produce hundreds of millions of doses of vaccine annually for COVID 19 and other diseases.”
They are all full-steam ahead with their implementation of The Great Reset; The Green New Deal; Agenda 2030, etc.
All of it! And, they don’t care how many people die or suffer due to their irrational & evil plans.
Well, when I think of high quality and standards, Senegal is always the very first place that comes to mind!
And, this will work as well as NATO, where contries fail to meet their commitment, or climate accords, ditto or any of a long list of “aspirational” but non-binding agreements are agreed to, and then ignored.
We’re investing because the international vaccine industry can’t afford to build plants.
Makes no sense, other than these are gigantic money laundering operations. Just like Ukraine was running single digit billions of graft, then Afghanistan ended and they had to upscale. Is that what it is? Sink the regular economy while providing gobs of money to those at the top? $200 billion used to fund a basic, no-frills war. Now it’s an unaudited plant in Senegal.
is it in Pineland?
So they are going to spend $200 billion MORE on a vaccine that doesn’t work? For a disease that 99% of people survive as easily as the flu? Why are they still pushing this?
I read Pfizer is doing away with those troublesome , pesty drug trials altogether. 😒 That’s the ticket \s
Sundance;
Unfortunately, those pragmatic recommendations are falling on deaf political ears.
No they are not. It’s the plan. Gates and cabal are not reducing the population by a billion they are reducing it to a billion. I farmed in my youth many years ago. It’s end of June planting is done except for late fall harvest; radishes, cabbage, quick turn crops, late flowers, maybe carrots and root crops. Coupled with less, little or no fertilizer northern hemisphere production planting is over and done.
War, famine and disease are steps 1,2,3 to wipe out a population. We have already been thru a dry run of #3. Step 1 is in the batters box and step 2 is warming up. Monkey pox is a diversion. The long term side effects of the mRNA vaccines will slow roll the deaths till the next scamdemic they are currently brewing up in China thank to Fauci’s continuing funding.

Break out the lottery boys because like Bill Paxton says, ” we are on a on way trip to hell”
Right on, Lenny.
GOD’S IN CONTROL! CHILL
Praise the Lord and pass the ammo!!!
A most apt analogy, would be the leaders of Coca Cola, as the dismal sales figures for “New Coke” came in, insisting they had a MESSAGING problem, rather than just admitting their product SUCKS.
But, that really IS the elitists mentality; its either the messaging,…OR “the useless eaters are just too stupid, to get it that we are doing all this, for THEIR benefit, even if it means killing off most of them!”
The specific policies they are pushing, they are simultaneously demonstrating that they are wrong.
Likewise, their overall concept of governance; they are demonstrating to all, that a technocracy, where unelected experts decide and implement policy, CENTRALISED government both with Swamp and Brussels, and elimination of the Nation State, for a One World Government, are TERRIBLE.
“a woman of exceptionally low intelligence”
you are far too kind.
Government is usually behind the eight ball with new technologies that change social life and perspectives. The old game of using government printing presses to flood the money markets, then find that system where a collapse could help to underwrite the bloated/false economy is not new, it is a poker game where someone at the table is being set up to carry the pain of getting robbed in ignorance to finance the other player who in reality set up this game.
Right now Putin is at the table; however, the other players (Westerners) are suffering to a point where they look to the United States, and in particular Joe Biden’s administration for signs to stop their pain and not to rip away their wealth because they went ahead and supported this game the United States is playing.
History might shed some light on the Russians. Their symbol is the bear, ours the Bald Eagle. What do bears do, how do they behave when mad, when cornered or when losing a fight if they cannot run away? The bet is that this Russian bear, Valdimir Putin, gets his seat at the table ripped away from him where he falls to the ground broken so that a new Russian player comes in to take his place. Who thought up this game plan?
What is the one event the West does not want to contemplate in regards to Putin’s move to survive? Yep, a nuclear bomb being exploded…somewhere everyone can see it, sense it and fear the doom such an act presents! Russians know about losing millions of citizens in war. The Russian bear knows how to hibernate during a cold (nuclear?) winter and survive.
Biden cannot be away from his home in Delaware for more than four days. He demands to smell the salt air and play with his pets, while meeting in secret with those who really run the show. So these shadow people are dragging us into a war with Russia. They believe Putin will be sacked from his position before any nuclear button is pushed.
Bet your lives on this hidden game. Spend your time marching against the Dobbs decision, do everything to take your eyes off the ball. Look around, everything is being strained to what appears its’ elastic limits. Rupture comes into the foreground.
The key to the Dobbs decision is the Judicial branch telling we Americans that this issue of abortion should be decided via the legislative system as “designed” within our Constitution, starting with our States. It is a centralization to de-centralization moment, it is a rational argument coming up against an emotional response.
The Hippocratic Oath…has a word, “pessary” within it. I venture most have no idea how old this Oath is (2300+yrs), nor what that word means. The argument of abortion is a very, very old argument, much like that chicken crossing the road. The game is to avoid being put in such a position where that is the option for one to consider. Female responsibility seems to be out of reach in such a discussion, maybe it is time to make it an active part.
The bomb that Vlad is getting prepped may not wait till the West realizes they have attacked the Russian bear where Putin is just the present figurehead.
When one stops and thinks about that little hand held smart phone that can call anyone around this planet is less than 60 seconds, this has become a very small world where most people just want to get along with their neighbors. Hatreds have always existed and most likely will, but that big boy bomb can take away all rational thoughts in a split second.
We have clowns running the American government at the present time, I fear. Very dangerous clowns…
An interesting thought provoking comment. Nice.
Can you imagine sitting there and saying “Sri Lanka is in grave difficulty” as if it was an academic discussion while people are starving and rioting.
.
The globalists need to back the freak off. Their sick fantasies of global dominion, controlling every facet of a human being’s life, starving people into submission (you will eat bugs and you will like it), need to be stopped.
I pray for Divine intervention.
God intervenes with judgment and mercy. He is laughing at the G7 like kids laughed at Pinky and the Brain.
“God helps those that help themselves”, famous quote from somewhere.
Not from the Bible. The Bible is about God helping the helpless, and telling us to do what He does.
blah blah blah
sounds like a talk therapy session between two patients
The unspoken conversation:
WB: “We caused this”
Doofus Hack: “I know”
WB: “On purpose”
Doofus Hack: “I know”
This is like one of those “it’s easier to apologize than ask permission” scenarios
Under all that pompous, clueless discussion, comes the bottom line assumption that the US will increase production, just to give it to the starving 3rd world. Says NOTHING about Americans providing for Americans.
Just taking from us to give to them, without attention to our own.
Anybody feel like a big teat??
I heard him say, you need to MAGAfy Bidenomics.
I was shocked at how honest he was and never knew that natural gas is used to produce fertilizer. This global agenda is disgusting.
“I have been saying this for a year and I will repeat, the absence of food will change things.”
Well it certainly bumps us down the Maslow hierarchy. It also offers a narrow window between early pangs and death.
But hurry. While supplies don’t last.
And start growing your own.
The more money the feds keep printing , the bigger wheel barrel I’m gonna need to make change for a Benjamin, because soon, our hundreds will have about twenty zero’s added to them.
THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE IS THE ALIBI OF TYRANTS! THE TYRANT CAN ALWAYS FIND AN EXCUSE FOR HIS TYRANNY! THE UNJUST WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE REASONING OF THE INNOCENT! ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY!
Now why would the Marxists want to do that? They didn’t come all this way just to turn back now.
But then also on the bond side, reducing the bond portfolio would return more money to banks, all of the money being used to hold the bond portfolio comes from banks. And if they had more, they could lend and also the non-bank sector of the U.S. economy. That’s one of the most innovative, and it could put more money into the supply chain.
Talk about the art of talking around a subject with language that sounds like it means something.
Take for example, “reducing the bond portfolio would return more money to banks”
Just how does one reduce bond portfolios?
To me it there are only two ways, “Payoff the bonds(that is retire the bonds before term) or set the basis of the bonds value(the hard assets behind on the bonds on fire.
Let’s be clear the vast majority of these holdens are directly tried to municipal infrastructure projects sold to pension funds, etc and the mortgage market. The rest(about 12% my estimate are private corporate bonds used to fund R&D)
There is also another side to bond holdenings. That is if you calculate Treasury issue bonds.
Than these former bond market positions description becomes significantly smaller when you add in the Federal Bonds of Treasuries.
So I ask, specifically when you take inconsideration, “And if they had more, they could lend and also the non-bank sector of the U.S. economy. ”
Notice the effective disconnect in the language used here. There has been a deliberate disconnect in the talking points.
It is my position, “What is being talked about here is using liquidity to retire bond obligations by acknowledging that if the physical undying assets behind the bond become say worth 10 cents on the dollar then the banks and private equities, which hold and manage these bonds. Can take a paper market position of treating bonds as a manageable market cap liability.
Thus if the underlying asset comes into question, then the future value of the bond’s obligation becomes a liquidity advantage.
Which is to say, “If a given bond portfolio has a future obligation of 100 billion to retire the bond, then if what happens if the bond’s obligation can be settled for 10 billion.
Does that mean in Wall Street terms, “That there is a now nearly a 90 billion windfall on some spreadsheet.
And???
Is that now the money being talked about.
That is money, “Being talked about being able to lend.”
There is just one small devil in the details here.
“That is liquidity becoming the driving factor in inflation.”
That is more money becoming available without any corresponding change in supply side economics that drives inflation of more money chasing stagnant supply side economics.
If there is no change in energy policy and raw reasorces policy of production.
The only economic forecast is, “If Macroeconomics policy is that if more money chases limited resources. Then the only outcome will be an economic incentive that drives inflation.”
When you don’t have food, you have but one problem.
For those in the USA who have strongly advocated for the export of LPG in past years. Now all of the US will incur the results in the coming months while you count your oily coins. When cheap US NG is converted and exported to prop up the Globalist European Union, the orators are revealed as the controlled oppositional actors they are. Some of us have been watching. This is akin to taking US resources, providing a few US-based jobs for refinement, and sending the majority of jobs to other countries to process into products and robbing the US of thousands of good-paying jobs and the security they provide. But hey, without NG, you can advocate for more burning of food products.
Seems to me people have been paid off to start fires or otherwise cause food processing plants to shut down.
I think the government, through third parties, is paying off owners to shut down their plants, like the chicken processing plant that just announced closure, with no reason given.
This guy makes a lot of sense. His criticism of the USA is justified. We should be producing for the world. We did on a moments notice in WWII and could do it again, absent the war hopefully. He is also right in that developed countries like USA should be all in on producing using oil and natural gas for that production. With food and other shortages on the near horizon then those nations with the capability to produce should be working together to produce and build strong economies instead of funding political wars. Time to tell Zelensky were pulling our support for a war that cannot be won and if continued will only further destroy Ukraine and drain NATO resources.
Problem is that the squatters in the White House want a war with Russia and have no desire to produce to build a strong economy to produce ourselves out of a recession. All they have to do is unleash gas, oil and American ingenuity and the rest will take care of itself. Nope, They want to crash it all so they can build back better and create a global monarchy like the one out founders revolted against, and defeated by the way.
He’s calling for production of everything, but I think especially gas, oil, and fertilizer, and for the central banks to pledge that there will be currency stability, low inflation. A voice of reason. They seem to be doing the exact opposite. Let’s hope various bankers and heads of state chime in and agree with Malpass.
World Bank President David Malpass appears on CBS with media propagandist Margaret Brennan, a woman of exceptionally low intelligence………… Exact precise description of all leftist and RINO media parrots.
I guess these cocktail circuit elitist talking heads never learn. When their usefulness is all used up, out in the cold of cancel culture they go. For example, take a look at the previous “high class” propagandist Katie Couric. From hero to zero. Low intelligence Margaret Brennen, will eventually suffer the same fate.
After reading the transcript of the “interview” it is abundantly clear that low intelligence Brennen was handed a “climate change” scam defense script from the Build Back Better WEF supporting Biden cabal. Her job was to regurgitate and blame all the economic problems their “Green New Deal” is causing on “Russia, Russia, Russia” invading Ukraine. It appears Malpass was politely not buying what she was selling.
If the USA would announce we are going to lift restrictions on energy production, and stop closing or converting gasoline refineries; then gasoline and oil prices would go down very quickly.
Am I the only one that read this as a promotion for a new digital currency?
And I think if the governments were saying, if the central banks were saying there’ll be currency stability, meaning years and years from now, the currencies won’t have devalued, they won’t be causing inflation, they’re going to be strong and stable for the long term, that would go a long way and the same thing on this production side of the economies, say that you want your strong economies to produce twice as much as they are right now.
How is this financial imbecile in charge of anything to do with world finances? The assumptions and platitudes he mouths are extraordinarily arrogant and replete with contradictory gobbledygook. Not reassuring for people with genuine concerns about their economic welfare. Again, his G7 assumption of them being the “world” is depraved.
There have been many food source shutdowns of various types in the US.
Surely, in today’s world of cameras positioned in many places, someone has
an idea of the cause being sabotage? Has someone see something?
How do people like these two live with themselves? They dress up starvation and inability to obtain basic necessities by verbally patting one another on the back.
We need solutions, not foreboding doom. We long for true LEADERSHIP as well as sane representation.
By Design, these too big to fail-unGodly, call it Population Control.
“Markets respond to signals”. That is a key statement. The Biden administration sends out a definitive signal. They want to kill fossil fuels. Unfortunately, they don’t have a solution for replacing that energy. The markets know this. It doesn’t matter how often Biden ignorantly claims “green” energy can do the job, the markets know it cannot. As usual, when Biden speaks, a crisis is usually the result. This is why we have fallen so rapidly from a robust economy with low inflation and real wage growth to today, with just the opposite. Markets respond to signals…just as they would respond positively to opposite signals. Higher fossil fuel production would send the signal that our policymakers actually care about humanity and understand that the human race needs energy to advance. With the proper signals, our economy could improve rapidly. What are the chances that will happen? Slim to none would be my answer.
And yet the ethanol lobby budges out corn that could be grown for food. We are only 9 meals from anarchy
Note that David Malpass ran unsuccessfully for the US Senate from NY as a Rino candidate based on his economic consultancy that catered to Wall Street titans. He was appointed by Trump to the World Bank, but was never really part of the MAGA economic movement. He is basically a Larry Kudlow wannabe.
More bullshit and double talk. Just nineteen months ago the US economy was vibrant and functioning well. Almost by default, the rest of the world followed suit. So tell me Mr. Malpass and the other worthless failures, what has changed in that short period of time? Blaming this on Putin is so disgusting and dishonest. The fear and hysteria generated by a flu, known as Covid, has been sickening to watch. All this has been outright fraud!
Millions of Americans don’t even have the decency, or personal courage, to admit they have been duped.
For low information Americans everything gets measured in gasoline prices. For people in third world countries food is the primary concern. Starvation trumps gasoline shortages every time! American and aligned western countries have created this entire mess…. top to bottom.
Western Europe (EU) should be the initial first world nations to feel the pain. That’s exactly as it should be.
The US can show tremendous leadership by printing more money. Can’t print food or energy but by God we can pull money out of thin air.
If any of you have your own layingcritters (hens or geese or ducks), here is a cost-saving measure.
Don’t use dry layer ration and scratch grain any longer, it’s too expensive.
Use a pint scoop per four birds per day in a large plastic bucket with a gamma seal lid. Put in one pint scoop per four birds of layer ration AND scratch. Then, if your soil is poor in calcium, put in several pints of oyster shell (I use two for about twenty birds). Stir your dry ingredients well.
Take your bucket to the outside hose. Fill the bucket to cover the dry ingredients with about half and inch of water. Stir well, add water if needed to be sure you still have half an inch covering your ingredients once the water soaks the dry feed. Put your gamma lid on your bucket. Leave your bucket in your feed room to ferment for a day or two depending on temps in your area (I leave it to ferment for one day in Florida’s heat). I put the mix in rubber feed tubs in my hen yards (the feed tubs are black rubber ones like you use for horse feed), to the tune of four hands full per four hens every morning.
That is ALL the hens get. They eat it all by nightfall and are fat, sassy, and lay well. There is no waste. My feed bill was cut in half, there are fewer flies, and I haven’t seen a rodent in a long while.
Best to all you Treepers and your laying critters.
