Warning from the Farm

Corn and other shortages are being anticipated as a result of fertilizer and seed shortages:

“Things for 2022 are interesting (and scary). Input costs for things like fertilizer, liquid nitrogen and seeds are like triple and quadruple the old prices. It will not be profitable to plant this year. Let me repeat, the economics will NOT work.

Our plan, is to drop about 700 acres of corn off and convert to soybeans (they use less fertilizer, and we also have chicken manure from that operation). Guess what? We are not the only ones with those plans. Already there is a shortage of soybean seeds, so we will see how that will work out.

The way I see it, there will be a major grain shortage later in the year, especially with corn. I mean, we are small with that. What about these people in the midwest who have like 10,000 acres of corn? This will not be good.”

This would be a good spring to put in a garden, and it’s probably a good idea to stock up a bit on your food supplies.

Trudeau Flees Canada

This means he’s not Prime Minister anymore, right?

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family have left their home in the national’s capital Ottawa for a secret location as up to 50,000 truckers gather to protest against the country’s vaccine mandate and Covid lockdowns.

Hundreds of truckers drove their giant rigs into the Canadian capital Ottawa on Saturday as part of a self-titled ‘Freedom Convoy’ which started as a protest against vaccine mandates required to cross the US border.

Days earlier, he had called the truckers headed for the city a ‘small fringe minority’ before the convoy of hundreds of vehicles grew up to 45 miles long as it made its way to the capital.

If the USA addressed the Canadian situation the same way it handled the Venezuelan situation, it would already have declared Jordan Peterson the new democratically-legitimate leader of Canada and transferred all of the Canadian gold reserves to his personal account.

I’m not suggesting it should, merely that it’s interesting to observe the different way the US government and media behave toward these fleeing foreign leaders, depending upon how controlled the deposed leader is by the New Neo-Liberal, Rules-Based World Order.

“A Rare and Direct Warning”

It would be difficult for China to make it any more clear what will happen if the USA continues encouraging the Taiwan island authorities to seek independence from China:

In a recent interview with US media, Chinese Ambassador to the US Qin Gang said that if the Taiwan island authority, emboldened by the US, keeps going down the road for independence, it would most likely involve China and the US “in a military conflict.” He also compared the Taiwan question to “the biggest tinderbox” between China and the US.

The ambassador’s words sent shockwaves to the US. US media believe this is a rare and direct warning from Chinese mainland to the US and Taiwan.

This was the first one-on-one interview of Qin as China’s ambassador to the US, and the audience was the Americans. The views he expressed were not only a clear signal to US political elites – he warned them not to continue to play with fire on the Taiwan question or they will face dire consequences – he also intended to let more Americans realize the seriousness of the consequences of “using Taiwan to contain the Chinese mainland” and who the real destroyer of peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits is.

The US government can appeal to democracy, the new neo-liberal rules-based world order, or Mighty Cthulhu all it likes, but there are certain geopolitical realities it is going to accept, one way or another. First, Russia is not going to permit NATO expansion or US missiles near its borders. Second, Taiwan is part of China.

Whether it has to accept those realities the hard way or not is the only question. If the neocons remain in control and remain hell-bent on war, Russia and China will give it to them. But the war is very unlikely to proceed along the nice little controlled path that the neocons have in mind.

Interview with an Elder God

While rooting around my WND audio interviews, I discovered an old interview from the 2012 election season with an unlikely political figure.

We are deeply privileged to have the opportunity to speak with another potential candidate for the presidency. He’s been asleep beneath the ice for centuries, but now he’s up, he’s active, and he’s thinking about throwing his tentacles in the ring in 2012! So, I’m pleased to welcome The Thing That Should Not Be himself, Dread Chtulhu! So, Mighty Cthulhu, I understand you’re thinking about a run for the presidency!

Yes, America has tried voting for the lesser evil and you’ve seen how that’s worked out. It’s time to vote for the Greater Evil!

And that would be you?

Yes, of course. Unless Hillary gets into the race again.

But you haven’t made up your mind yet.

Not yet. There are some issues.

Issues?

Potential problems.

Like what?

I’m afraid there may be a few indiscreet tweets.

Really?

Hey, when you’re sleeping beneath the Antarctic Ice, things can get a little slow, you know what I mean?

You’re on Twitter? Who were you tweeting with?

Arianna Huffington. That is one NASTY greek goddess. She’s got a mouth that I can only describe as FILTHY. Nice lady.

Arianna Huffington, wow. Okay, anyone else?

Well, I sent a picture to that little singer girl, Justin Beeber, but she didn’t hit me back.

I think Bieber is a boy.

IS HE? Oh… well, wouldn’t that have been embarrassing.

You said a picture? What kind of picture?

Yeah, well, you want to talk about some RIDICULOUS BULGES. I got ’em. Lots of ’em.

I’m not sure America is ready for a naked tweeting president, Cthulhu.

Who said anything about naked? I was wearing silk boxers.

Classy. But still….

Let me set one thing straight. When the American people vote for Cthulhu, they will get the promised evil. The Greater Evil. Nonstop, full-time, pure and dedicated evil. I will devour puppies. I will tear the heads off foreign heads of state, and I will make America FEARED again!

You don’t think that sounds too much like Mitt Romney’s platform?

Does it? Hmmm, perhaps I’ll have to rethink my position on healthcare then.

So you’re in?

First we have to see if this Beeber girl goes to the press or not.

What about Arianna?

We’ve got a date this weekend. We’re going to see the Hangover 2. I love that little naked Japanese guy. Makes me laugh every time.

Thank you, Great Cthulhu. America’s next president or long-deceased elder god worshipped by mad homicidal cultists? Only time will tell.

Russia Rejects Globohomo

It’s pretty obvious who is the Evil Empire now, and it obviously isn’t ruling over the Russians anymore:

Russia’s Ministry of Culture has published a draft order setting out “traditional values” that it says must be protected from encroachment by foreign ideas, terrorists, and extremists amid a “global crisis” for public morality.

The document was posted on the ministry’s website this week for consultation, ahead of being presented to President Vladimir Putin for his signature, and is designed to provide “the foundations of government policy for the protection and strengthening of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.” The ordinance lays out what the authors see as integral Russian values and puts forward strategies for defending them against alleged incursion by foreign perspectives.

The draft text defines “traditional values” as “moral guidelines that form Russian citizens’ worldview, transferring from generation to generation, guaranteeing civil unity, forming the base of Russian civilizational identity and the nation’s unified cultural space, and manifesting uniquely and distinctly in the spiritual, historical, and cultural development of the multiethnic people of Russia.”

According to the order, examples of these values include “life, dignity, human rights and freedom, patriotism, civic consciousness, service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its fate, high moral ideals, a strong family, creative work, prioritizing the spiritual over the material, humanism, charity, justice, collectivism, mutual support and respect, historical memory and continuity between generations, and the unity of the peoples of Russia.”

The report claims, however, that these values are under threat from outside forces including terrorist and extremist organizations, multinational corporations, NGOs, and the US and its allies.

Remember, the US Empire is even more aggresssively anti-American than it is anti-Russian or anti-Chinese.

ADE Anomalies

Karl Denninger sees some troubling anomalies in the historic test-result data:

What these tables appear to show is that the jabs make you test negative but you get the disease anyway because you show up in the urgent care or emergency room with symptoms, they’re serious enough to drive you to the ER or urgent care clinic and, they claim, you actually have either Delta or Omicron but three quarters of the time the PCR test is negative.

Perhaps someone can explain to me why taking a jab that makes you test negative even though you’re ill with the disease and the MMWR claims you in fact have it in some way defines an “effective” jab?

What’s a plausible explanation for this? I can think of several — and none are good.

One of them I wrote about some time ago right here. If this turns out to be what’s going on not only does the “told ya so” flag go up the entire jab-fest industry and government knew damn well this could happen because that research paper dated from last May and they coerced and conned you into it anyway.

The lies are now being piled on top of lies used to cover previous lies, making it difficult to ascertain even what appears to be happening. That being said, one previous scenario does fit the confusing data being presented.

Let’s contemplate a possibility: The manufacturers know this and in fact knew it during Phase I and II testing; they characterized the antibodies produced and that is why they set the dose where they did; they knew that they had to wildly over-produce to get a high enough titer of the neutralizing antibodies or the shots would not work.

Now think about the game that might have been run:

1. You take the shot.

2. You get both protective (good) and non-protective (neutral) or possibly enhancing (very bad), antibodies.

3. The protective antibodies are enough to prevent you from getting seriously sick or dying. We all cheer, and all appears to be well in the world. The results look good — for a while.

4. Over time the antibody titer wanes. Now you don’t have enough neutralizing antibodies but still have some of the bad ones which, if you get infected, make it materially more-likely the infection will kill you.

It’s too soon to be certain that this is what is happening. But given the other signs of a mild ADE scenario being in play, it increasingly looks as if it is only the innocuousness of Omicron that has prevented ADE from harming the vaccinated population. But keep in mind that even with that positive development, the more dangerous scenario that is still on the table is if other non-Covid viruses are able to take advantage of the ADE channel provided by the vaxxes.
