Dear Friends,
It seems to me, what we are facing is a centrally planned famine, because with central planning, famine is not a failure, it is a feature. With the federal reserve squeezing demand out of the public economy with raising interest rates, and the federal government increasing spending into the trillions, with over a trillion in interest payments a year now, aggregate demand still increases, but the portion that is in the hands of the American people diminishes. This, and the inflation they created with shutting down supply while ginning demand with stimulus… creates stealth socialism. With the unequaled power of the administrative state, the real rulers of this planet are implementing their ideal for a new world order, stakeholder capitalism or global governance. Call it what you will, I call it… global fascism.
Food processing plants across the US are burning flat. That may be a consequence of stupidity, or malevolence, neither is a resounding commendation for those in charge. Moreover, using regulation to suppress the production of food, suggests the industrial fires may be part of a long term Hegelian manipulation. Luck runs in streaks, but bad streaks are only made possible by stupidity. Just as good streaks of luck are precipitated by wisdom. Like a gambler who looses everything in a card game… over and over. Then gets kneecapped for welshing, and laments, how could this have happened? I think it was Confucius who said, The sage takes the safe path while the fool takes a dangerous one. The train derailments are another example of stupidity in action… of those in charge.
The war on nitrogen fertilizer is really a war on humanity. It was fertilizer that changed the dire predictions of the 1970’s Marxists (today’s post modernist) from worldwide famine by 1990, to the least number, both in actual numbers and as a percentage of the human population, living in absolute want. In other words, because of fertilizer, people have more to eat today, than at any other time in human history. The experts in the administrative state believe that nitrogen is a toxic and dangerous pollutant. Apparently unaware that over 80% of the air we breathe is nitrogen… or not. So they are waging war on it. By doing so they have bankrupted farms across the planet and set us up for a world wide famine. One I am sure they will blame, not on their own stupidity or malevolence, but on capitalism.
The elite have been preparing the ground for rationing, making bugs and pond scum part of our daily cuisine, for at least the last decade. One thing you can say about creating such poverty, want and suffering in the world is… nothing makes a Wagu Chateau Briand taste better, than knowing the rest of us are eating crickets, worms and pond scum. Rationing is the ultimate expression of power over a people. Under a regime of rationing, the people must ask permission even to eat. Now that is power. The only way to make it better is to force us to use CBDCs. With a central bank digital currency, our rulers could control every aspect of our lives, to the minutest detail. With the flip of a switch. If all we can buy are bugs and pond scum, then bugs and pond scum are for breakfast, lunch and supper.
All these problems with the food supply are imposed from the governments of the world, not due to some global climate disaster. They are a Hegelian manipulation to usurp power. I fail to understand how global warming, makes it colder, leading to industrial fires, train derailments and making people flood across our boarders to get free stuff? Hot or cold, people want free stuff. Train derailments are typically a failure of the tracks or wheels, not racism. Industrial fires usually are the result of a multitude of failures. Of the fire detection system, the suppression sprinklers and management, not typically from a lack of intersectionalism. How long before bridges start collapsing? From the war on nitrogen fertilizer and inflation to crime, every problem we are seeing is a failure of government.
Back when we had freedom, capitalism was allowed to work and people were sane, the US produced too much food, so much so we dumped it on other nations, crushing their domestic farms. Now, due to the centrally planned famine, eggs, meat and potatoes are expensive! The more our economy is usurped by the central planners the worse it operates. I think one thing we all agree on is, our lives are far too important to put in the inept hands of central planners. Mao did it best but they all had a shot at the marks. Stalin starved millions in Ukraine, Lenin starved the Kulaks out of existence and everywhere central planning is applied, there has been similar results. That our wannabe central planners are stealth socialists is no surprise, what is surprising, is that the rest of us are foolish enough not to notice.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
