Goodnight y'all, God is Good!

Marjory Wildcraft and I caught up and had a candid conversations about world events, the engineered "poly-crisis," and why there is still hope even and especially as things get really hairy. Join us!

High diesel prices are putting farmers in the red, threatening harvest season — ground reports needed

US average just hit $5.47/gal, up 8% in the last month. With diesel crack prices hitting record highs and inventories at record lows, it's likely to increase further. Farmers have already absorbed high fertilizer prices (if they were lucky enough to even find it!), so if diesel prices explode right now, many would be forced to leave crops in the field.

We saw this in Australia: in March, BP's distributors were told to limit deliveries, CAUSING shortages which forced farmers to abandon their crops.

The can-kicking (releases from SPR, nonstop “the Strait is open” jawboning) got us through the summer, but if that ends in the next 2-4 weeks, right as we enter into prime harvest season, the effect on combines, grain carts, drying, and transport would be disastrous.

The technocrats would then reach for their pre-written crisis playbooks: fuel/food rationing via Digital IDs.

► On-the-Ground Diesel Reports Needed NOW:
Seeing restrictions in your area (partial fills, “contract customers only,” tanker delays, bulk deliveries throttled)? Please send details: [email protected] . Photos, supplier emails, co-op notices, local news — anything helps shed light. 🙏

It is no surprise that WEF-partner Tyson is closing their beef plants, citing a cattle shortage. Their whole play was to buy up and consolidate the industry, even as they invested heavily in fake meat. Tyson bought a 5% stake in Beyond Meat in 2016, before selling it in 2019 as it launched its own plant-based line. They also backed cultured-meat startups and other alternative proteins.

Meanwhile, Impossible Foods founder/CEO Patrick Brown has been more explicit: he wants to “put the animal agriculture industry out of business” and has described the goal as “game over” for traditional livestock, aiming to replace animals altogether by 2035.

Cattle numbers are at multi-decade lows. Processors are closing plants.

They told us exactly what they planned to do.
And now they’re doing it.
