FINANCIAL FOREBODINGS FUEL FOOD FEARS

Market skeptic, Eric deCarbonnel in his December 17, 2009 anal­ytic report makes this bold statement: “If you read any economic, fi­nancial, or political analysis for 2010 that doesn’t mention the food shortage looming next year, throw it in the trash, as it is worthless.” He then goes on to state, “There is overwhelming, undeniable evidence that the world will run out of food next year. When this happens, the resulting triple digit food inflation will lead panicking central banks around the world to dump their foreign reserves to appreciate their currencies and lower the cost of food imports, causing the collapse of the dollar, the treasury market, derivative markets, and the global financial system. The US will experience economic disintegration.”  (2010 Food Crisis for Dummies by Eric deCarbonnel. Millennium Ark: Hot News).
        There appears to be, according to evidence presented by several researchers, a good chance of a looming food crisis coming upon this nation as early as this year (2010). This is not a definite thing but a very strong likelihood as conditions are now leading us in that dir­ection rather rapidly. All indications are that this crisis could pre­cipitate upon us soon. Mr. deCarbonnel calls this THE CRISIS and states that it is “the one that makes all doomsday scenarios come true.”
        Keep in mind we have a Federal government that is directed by the Global Financial Elite to bring about a contrived financial crisis and a devaluation and collapse of the U.S. dollar. Couple that situation with the evidence of a looming food shortage and you have a recipe for disaster. Just what is the evidence?
        Early in 2009 the supply and demand in agricultural markets was badly out of balance. As reported by deCarbonnel and others, the world is experiencing a catastrophic fall in food production partly due to the financial crisis and partly due to adverse weather conditions.
        According to analyst, Eric deCarbonnel, we have “overconsumption leading to disaster.” He explains the production and pricing of agri­cultural goods: “It is absolutely key to understand that the produc­tion of agricultural goods is a fixed, once a year cycle (or twice a year in the case of double crops). The wheat, corn, soybeans and other food staples are harvested in the fall/spring and then that is it for production. It doesn’t matter how high prices go or how desperate people get, no new supply can be brought online until the next harvest at the earliest. The supply must last until the next harvest, which is why it is critical that food is correctly priced to avoid overconsumption, otherwise food shortages will occur.
        “The USDA, by manufacturing the data needed to keep supply and demand in balance, has ensured that agricultural commodities are in­correctly priced, which has lead to overconsumption and has guaranteed disaster next year (2010) when supplies run out.”(Ibid, p 2).
        There seems to be an astounding lack of awareness that something is critically wrong in the agricultural market. The USDA (UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE) seems to be saying two things at once. The USDA estimates for 2009/2010 make no sense. On the one hand, they pre­dicted a record corn and soybean (and even other crops) harvest; and on the other hand, they declared half the counties in the Midwest to be primary disaster areas. Those counties designated are based on a criteria  of 30% loss in the value of at least one crop in the county.
        Mr. deCarbonnel states, “The same USDA that is predicting record harvests is also declaring disaster areas across half (of the counties) because of catastrophic crop losses!  To eliminate any doubt that this might be an innocent mistake, the USDA is even predicting record soy­bean harvests in the same states (Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Alabama) where it has declared virtually all counties to have exper­ienced 30% production losses.  It (doesn’t take a) rocket scientist to realize something is horribly wrong.” (2010 Food Crisis for Dummies, p  3. Emphasis in the original).
        So now we have a confusing divide between reality and government pronouncements. We have two distinct, contradicting realities: One is of record crops and plentiful supply; and the other is of agricul­tural devastation and ruin. Some articles are being written that re­port on both contradicting realities in the same article. (For 2009, the USDA was projecting the largest soybean crop on record at 3.3 bil­lion bushels and the second largest corn crop at 12.9 billion bushels).
        The TRUE REALITY is that U.S, farmers have suffered the worst harvest season ever seen! Let’s take a look “in the field” as to what farmers were experiencing during the 2009 growing and harvesting seasons state by state.

        •Iowa - August 4: “When hail decimated crops near Lawler acid Waucoma in June, it was the worst Iowa State University Extension field agrono­mist Brian Lang had ever seen. ‘I’ve never really seen bad hailed corn at tassel state and I’ve never seen it this bad, this widespread.’ Lang said, ‘There were 400,000 acres damaged with 10% totally destroyed. Even for the crop that didn’t get hurt too much, this came at the worst possible time, tasseling.’
        ‘I’ve never seen a hail storm this big.’ said Julie Vulk, Farm Service Agency executive director in Winneshiek County and interim dir­ector in Fayette County. ‘It’s just hard to wrap your brain around it.’ Vulk estimated that 50% of farmers don’t have insurance. [Iowa was then hit by another devastating hail storm on August 9.]”

 • Wisconsin - July 28: “For Kevin Leahy, it’s a total loss. He doubts any of his 600 acres - of what used to resemble corn north of Shulls­Shullsburg will be harvested.

“Kamps was at home during the storm and knew his crops would be in trouble when the oak leaves around his house started falling to the ground. The wind blew a drift of hail more than 2 feet high in front of his patio door, he said.

 “‘It was like a big sand blaster,’ Kamps Said. ‘I’ve seen damage before but not near so widespread and so major. This took everything we had.’” 

Texas - August 14: “Texas state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon said that at least nine of the 254 counties in Texas - the nation’s most drought-stricken state - are suffering through their driest con­ditions since modern record-keeping began in 1895

“Making matters worse are the relentless 100-degree days across the southern portion of Texas that has been under drought conditions since September 2007.

“The impact has been felt most by farmers and ranchers in the nation’s No. 2 agriculture-producing state. Texas officials estimate statewide crop and livestock losses from the drought at $3.6 billion.

“‘ We’ve had some dry spells, but not as bad as this,’ said Rod Santa Ana with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service. ‘It hurts bad.  A lot of these cotton fields didn’t even come up. It’s just bare ground.  You’d never know cotton was even planted there.”’ 

* Wyoming - August 21: “David Kane, a rancher near Sheridan, Wyo., who said the grasshoppers on his ranch are the worst they’ve been in more than 20 years. Kane already sold off part of his herd because the pests ate his cows’ food.

‘They’re devastating.’ Kane said. ‘They were so bad on the ranch that we sprayed our meadows because the second-cutting of alfalfa wouldn’t green-up because they were eating it as fast as it was trying to grow.’” 

* New Jersey - September 26: “‘The rains have just killed me this year, said Tucker Gant, 51, a vegetable and fruit farmer in Elk, who estimates his total losses this year at nearly $220,000.
        ‘Nobody has ever seen rain as drastic as this year, even talking to old-time farmers.’ Said Frasso, a third-generation farmer who esti­mates losses so far at roughly $50,000.
        ‘It’s never been this bad as far as I can remember,’ said Gant, pointing to water pooling in a field as he drove his pickup truck along a bumpy dirt trail toward 35 acres of barley overrun by tall weeds. ‘I have never seen water lay there more than two days. It should have been harvested, but you can’t harvest weeds taller than barley.”’ 

* Louisiana - October 8:  “Three weeks of heavy rains are threatening northeastern Louisiana’s soybean, sweet potato and cotton crops, some of which have already shown significant deterioration in the fields.  ‘It’s killing us.’ Said Ouachita Parish producer Gary Mathes.  ‘We cut some beans a week ago that we had to sell at a salvage price of $3 a bushel.’  ‘We fought a short corn crop, but we had one heck of a bean crop and the rain is taking it away from us.’  Mathes said.” 

* Louisiana - October 17:  Farmers are seeing the worst year than previous years.  Some parishes like Morehouse, “have received more than 30 inches of rain since September 12, literally drowning crops that were mature and ready for harvest when the rain began.”  Soybeans have suffered the worst with some crops never taken out of the field. 

* Nebraska - Minnesota - October 12: “Weather adversity could shave as much as 200 million to 300 million bushels from expectations for a 3.25 billion bushel crop nationally, a Nebraska soybean official said Monday.
        “‘Our part of the country got snow,’ said Victor Bohuslavsky of the Nebraska Soybean Board Monday. ‘And I talked to people in Minne­sota this morning and they had hardly started harvest and they were blasted with snow.’” 

* Illinois - November 2: “The autumn monsoons are hard to figure, said Benjamin Sittrell, a -meteorologist for the National Weather Ser­vice office in suburban St. Louis. ‘Typically during the late-year period, it’s our driest portion of the year,’ Sittrell said. ‘To see such astronomically high amounts of precipitation, where we got sever­al inches above the previous record levels, is very abnormal.
        “Sittrell said thousands of acres of farmland are under water, particularly in the flat areas of southern and western Illinois where the Illinois, Ohio and Kaskaskia rivers are among several that are flooding.” 

* Arkansas - November 4: Agricultura l  county extension officials were stating that “We are going to be lucky to make half a crop compared to the last couple of years, all because of the weather.” “Seven or eight weeks ago, we were looking at 1,100 to 1,200 pound cotton” lint yield per acre, Gus Wilson said. “Now we’re 500 to 600 pounds.”
        The soybeans are just as bad. Wilson said “We have lost at least 60% to 80% due to the weather. Our rice is going to be half. This is the worst I’ve ever seen and I’ve been a county agent for eight years and around farming all my life.”
        County extension agent Gus Wilson stated, after taking a sample of soybeans with  100% damage, “My father is 82 years old and he’s farmed 55 to 60 years. He says this is the worst harvest season he’s ever seen. Out of his career, he said only one year comes close - he can’t remember if it was in the late 1950s or early 1960s.”
        Some farmers have experienced a total loss, in some crops. In the delta area of Mississippi, a farmer brought in 1,110 bushels of soy­beans but got paid for only 11. The rest were damaged. (We could go on and fill several more pages with such reports as all the foregoing, but space does not permit).
        Record crop production is a USDA fantasy. Major crop losses and agricultural ruin is the true reality. The two realities can’t coexist. Obviously someone is lying and the evidence supports the farmers’ story.
        America’s farmers were not alone in suffering crop losses due to adverse weather conditions. Consider the following:

 (1) The worst drought in half a century has turned Argentina’s once fertile soil to dust and pushed the country into a state of emergency. Cow carcasses litter the prairie fields, and sun-scorched soy plants wither under the South American summer sun. The country’s wheat yield for 2009 was 8.7 million metric tons, down from 16.3 million in 2008.

 (2) Australia is suffering the longest running and most severe drought on the planet. November temperature records were broken all over east­ern Australia, and lower wheat yields than expected were reported, leading to production estimate cuts. Profarmer Australia has cut their Australian wheat production estimate by 1 MMT to 20.9 MMT, and Common­wealth Bank of Australia reduced their estimate by 0.7 MMT to 21.6 MMT (USDA’s current estimate  of course, is an insane 23.5 MMT). Finally, in September, Sydney saw the sky turn blood red by the worst dust storm in 70 years, which carried an estimated, 5 million tons of soil from drought-ravaged farmland into the Pacific Ocean.  [RESEARCH EDITOR’S NOTE: This editor has seen photographs of dust-covered land­scape with an eerie blood-red sky that made one feel that it was taken on Mars. Truly apocalyptic!]

(3) Northern China was hit by the worst drought in 50 years. Chinese wheat production was predicted to be down 10% ‘In A Best Case Scenar­io.’ The sustained drought led to water and food shortages in June for more than 2.37 million people in northwest China’s Ningxia Hui Region. Chinese corn production is expected to shrink at least 10%, with shortages developing by spring-summer of 2010. 

(4) The Middle East and Central Asia are suffering from the worst droughts in recent history, and food grain production has dropped to some of the lowest levels in decades. Total wheat production in the wider drought-affected region is currently estimated to have declined by at least 22% in 2009. 

(5) Wind, rain, and hail ruined India’s spring wheat crop. Following failed wheat harvest, India then experienced the driest monsoon in 37 years. In terms of affected area, India’s drought was the worst since 1918. Farmers who could no longer irrigate crops now feared nothing would be left to drink. Millions of poor villagers across southern India are facing an imminent food shortage following months of intense drought and recent devastating floods. 

(6) Etc...” (As taken from: “2010 Food Crisis For Dummies” by Eric deCarbonnel, p 11. Millennium Ark: Hot News). 

To complicate matters and helping to fuel food fears is the wor­sening financial crisis. Eric deCarbonnel states, “On top of the world­wide abnormal weather, the low commodity prices and lack of credit caused ‘the financial crisis and harmed production. The lack of credit curbed farmers’ ability to buy seeds and fertilizers limiting produc­tion, and low prices at the end of 2008 discouraged the planting of new crops in 2009.  In Kansas for example, farmers seeded nine million acres, the smallest planting for half a century.

“Between the effects of the financial crisis and the abnormal weather experienced across the globe, the idea that 2009/2010 saw record harvest of anything is pure fantasy.” (Ibid, pp 11 & 12).

* The Commercial Real Estate Bubble.  As a Global Research report states there are “more (financial) bubbles waiting to burst.” With the housing crash still not over, the next bubble to burst could very well be the Commercial Real Estate Bubble.  According to Deutsche Bank CEO Josef Ackerman, “A piece of the puzzle that must be calculated into any determination of the depth of our economic doldrums is the condition of commercial real estate - the shopping malls, hotels and office buildings that tend to go along with real estate expansions.”  The article then goes on to say, “Residential investment went down 28.9% from 2005-2007, and at the same time, nonresidential investment grew 24.9%, thus, commercial real estate was serving as a buffer against the declining housing market.’”
        Furthermore, it has been reported, “Commercial real estate lags behind housing trends, and so too, will the crisis, as ‘commercial construction projects are losing their appeal.’  Further, ‘there are lots of reasons to suspect that commercial real estate was subject to some of the loose lending practices that afflicted the residential market. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s Survey of Credit Underwriting Practices found that whereas in 2003 just ‘2 % of banks were easing their underwriting standards on commercial construction loans, by 2006 almost a third of them were relaxing.’ In May it was reported that, ‘Almost 80% of domestic banks are tighteninn their lending standards for commercial real-estate loans,’ and that, ‘we may face double-bubble trouble for real estate and the economy.’
        “In late July of 2009, it was reported that, ‘Commercial real estate’s decline is a significant issue facing the economy because it may result in more losses for the financial industry than resident­ial real estate. This category includes apartment buildings, hotels, office towers, and shopping malls.’ Worth noting is that, ‘As the economy has struggled developers and Landlords have had to call on a helping hand from the US Federal Reserve in order to try to get credit flowing so that they can refinance existing buildings or even to com­plete partially constructed projects.’ So again, the Fed is delaying the inevitable by providing more liquidity to an already inflated bub­ble. As the Financial Post pointed out, ‘From Vancouver to Manhattan, we are seeing rising office vacancies and declines in offices rents. “‘ (“Entering the -Greatest Depression in History - More Bubbles Waiting to Burst” by Andrew Gavin Marshall, p 1. Global Research. August 7, 2009).

* The Bailout Bubble. The so-called “stimulus package” is being protrayed as having revived the economy. However, as per usual, key factors are being misrepresented.  
        About the Bailout Bubble, Mr. Marshall reports, “At the end of March of 2009, Bloomberg reported  that, ‘The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve have spent, lent or committed $12.8 trillion, an amount that approaches the value of everything produced in the country last year.’ This amount ‘works out to $42,105 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. and 14 times the $899.8 billion of currency in circu­lation. The nation’s gross product was $14.2 trillion in 2008.’
        “Gerald Celente, the head of the Trends Research Institute, the major trend-forcasting agency in the world, wrote in May of 2009 of the ‘bailout bubble.’ Celente’s forecasts are not to be taken lightly, as he accurately predicted the 1987 stock market crash, the fall of the Soviet Union, the 1998 Russian economic collapse, the 1997 East Asian economic crisis, the 2000 Dot-com bubble burst, the 2001 reces­sion, the start of a recession in 2007 and the housing market collapse of 2008, among other things.
        “On May 13, 2009, Celente released a Trend Alert, reporting that, ‘The biggest financial bubble in history is being inflated in plain sight,’ and that, ‘This is the Mother of All Bubbles, and when it ex­plodes .., it will signal the end to the boom/bust cycle that has char­acterized economic activity throughout the developed world.’  Further, ‘This is much bigger than the Dot-com and Real Estate bubbles which hit speculators, investors and financiers the hardest. However destruc­tive the effects of these busts on employment, savings and productivity, the Free Market Capitalist framework was left intact. But when the ‘Bailout Bubble’ explodes, the system goes with it.’
        “Celente further explained that, ‘Phantom dollars, printed out of thin air, backed by nothing ... and producing next to nothing ... defines the ‘Bailout Bubble.’ Just as with the other bubbles, so too will this one burst. But unlike Dot-com and Real Estate, when the ‘Bailout Bubble’ pops, neither the President nor the Federal Reserve will have the fiscal fixes or monetary policies available to inflate another.’ Celente elaborated, ‘Given the pattern of governments to parley egregious failures into mega-failures, the classic trend they follow, when all else fails, is to take their nation to war,’ and that, ‘While we cannot pinpoint precisely when the ‘Bailout Bubble’ will burst, we are certain it will. When it does, it should be understood that a major war could follow.’
        “However, this ‘Bailout Bubble’ that Celente was referring to at the time was the $12.8 trillion reported by Bloomberg. As of July, estimates put this bubble at nearly double the previous estimate.” (Ibid, p 2).
        Relative to the comment by Celente, “that a major war could fol­low,” the reader is encouraged to read point 11 of New World Order Agenda Timeline as told to Pastor Lindsey Williams. It certainly fits. War is certainly being planned for by the New World Order elite.
        It is indicated by those who have studied the situation that the U.S, is experiencing economic disintegration and as the dollar loses value, hyperinflation will set in. The planned devaluation of the dollar means the purchasing power of the dollar will drop ever lower and eventually within two years will be absolutely worthless.
        The two situations outlined above: the food production crisis and the financial crisis, will combine to produce possible famine and chao­tic conditions in the very near future. The U.S, consumer has been the driving force of the U.S. economy for decades. With the collapsing dollar, and the worsening agricultural production crisis as well as the financial crisis taken together, will wipe out America’s purchasing power and potentially cause famine in this country. Conditions will be worse than in the Great Depression.
        What has happened in the last year or so, will give a preview of what to expect next.
        “‘Tent cities’ are growing all around the country.
        “California is experiencing a meltdown.
        “Police cars are being repossessed due to failing tax revenues.
        “Major retailers, hotel chains, and theme parks are going bankrupt.
        “Loan quality at American banks is the worst in at least a quarter century and is deteriorating at the fastest pace ever.
        “The victims of this financial disaster don’t have the money to bury their loved ones.
        “US states have started printing their own currencies.
        “Recession has put a major strain on social security trust fund.
        “US Contract law torn apart.” (“2010 Food Crisis For Dummies” by Eric deCarbonnel, p 21. Millennium Ark: Hot News). 

        The above conditions are being brought about deliberately by the New World order elite to control and subjugate this nation. It is also being done as a population control (reduction) measure.
        Above and beyond the foregoing are certain measures such as the House resolution 875 bill known as the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 that if passed, would place small farmers and organic food growers under the direct supervision of the Federal government. Strict, regulations and guidelines for food producers, processors and distri­butors would be enforced. All farms would have to register with the government. Of course this would also include an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip system to track food products etc.  This oppressive system could close down small farmers and organic growers. This sup­posedly is being done to prevent food hazards - contamination, food borne illnesses etc. Most of such food hazards have been in foreign food imports and in industrial-type Big Agricultural operations which are not subject to such stiff regulations.
        Then there is Monsanto who is attempting to destroy all seeds but their own. Monsanto is, as Dr. Mercola states, “one of the most evil companies on the planet.” In light of this statement, consider the following report.
        “Some say that if farmers don’t want problems from Monsanto, they simply shouldn’t buy Monsanto’s GMO seeds. But it isn’t quite that simple. Monsanto contaminates the fields, trespasses onto the land taking samples, and then sues, saying they own the crop.
        “Meanwhile, Monsanto is taking many other steps to keep farmers and everyone else from having any access at all to buying, collecting, and saving of normal seeds.
        “1. They’ve bought up the seed companies across the Midwest.

“2. They’ve written Monsanto seed laws and gotten legislators to put them through, that make cleaning, collecting and storing of seeds so onerous in terms of fees and paperwork that having normal seed be­comes almost impossible.

“3. Monsanto is pushing laws that ensure farmers and citizens can’t block the planting of GMO crops even if they can contaminate other crops.

“4. There are Monsanto regulations buried in the FDA rules that make a farmer’s seed cleaning equipment illegal because it’s now con­sidered a ‘source of seed contamination.’

“Monsanto has sued more than 1,500 farmers whose fields had simply been contaminated by GM (genetically modified) crops.” (“Monsanto’s Many Attempts to Destroy All Seeds but Their Own” by Dr. Mercola, p 1. Mercola.com).

Monsanto, one of the main seed companies involved in the Doomsday Seed Vault (See: “Heaven’s Warnings Concerning Contrived Food and Fuel Shortages,” Shrine Newsletter, Autumn 2008), is the leader in genetical­ly modified seeds with at least 674 biotechnology patents, more than any other company. They invest over $2 million on research and devel­opment.

The New World Order elite control the economy through their cen­tral banks and through the petroleum industry control all else includ­ing agriculture especially food production. Henry Kissinger of Kissinger Associates has stated, “If you control the oil, you control the coun­try; if you control the food, you control the population.” This is precisely their plan. This is why you need to grow your own food and adopt a self-sustaining way of life. As far as finances, Necedah revelation and Father Charles Coughlin gave instructions to purchase gold and silver coins and to adopt a localized REAL money system. This is the only way one will survive the future food and financial crisis ahead.

Necedah revelation warned over 30 years ago: “WAKE UP, WAKE UP! THE TIME IS RUNNING OUT! THE ENEMY IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL...” (Dec. 1, 1978). This is even more true now. In fact time to prepare and gather what you need for survival has about RUN OUT! Time and oppor­tunity will rapidly diminish over the next two years. This could be your LAST CHANCE!
