U.S. Food Crisis: Walmart Feeds for Freedom? The military chows down on the real Hunger Games!

Video

Incomplete (tip-o-the iceberg) list of main stream news links announcing United States food supply shutdowns, emergencies, outbreaks and recalls for June 2022:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating a mysterious outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections, and for some unknown reason the FDA is refusing to name the infected foods!

Protein/energy bars recalled due to E.coli infestation.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), more than 38-million people in the U.S. are food ‘insecure’!

Wegmans grocery chain store recalls Vidalia onions due to Listeria infestation.

Cheese sold across nine states recalled due to Listeria infestation.

As of 29JUN2022, a total of 23 cases of listeriosis, a bacterial infection usually caused by eating food contaminated with listeria, were recorded in 10 states, causing 22 hospitalizations and one death.

U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns against ‘snuggling’ your poultry, due to salmonella infestation.

Dog food recalled due to salmonella infestation.

Is there a salmonella epidemic?

After 40-million dead birds, hot weather might be killing off the bird flu virus.
.

Hi-tech indoor farming might cause food prices to go up, certainly too expensive for most mom-n-pop start-ups.

Long explanation how food crisis is second biggest factor behind price inflation (housing is number one). Food price inflation directly linked to fertilizer shortage caused by sanctions and war, yet as a result fertilizer is being stockpiled (farming ops are buying more than what they need out of fear) which will have a long term effect of fertilizer price drops, reducing food prices:

International food analysts (this leftist-liberal report loves to call them ‘experts’) say the food crisis is actually about “…access to food, that people don’t have money to pay for food, that people are jobless.” It is not about a lack of food (I’ve already posted about migrant farm workers in Idaho that say the same thing):

IDAHO: Long term drought is draining farm irrigation canals.

University of Idaho study says there is a correlation between agricultural chemicals and cancer!

Desperate farmers trying different methods in an attempt to save water and money.

On 15JUN2022, Walmart conducted their yearly Feed ’em for Freedom food fest, on Camp Atterbury, for state National Guard personnel, and their families.  Never mind that taxpayers already pay for the meals of military personnel, Walmart probably gets a tax write-off for providing a free BBQ for them. Is this a covert way for the Department of Defense to save money, by preparing state militia to rely on private sector donations for their meals?

NORTH CAROLINA:

On 29JUN2022, U.S. Marines with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) volunteered to help operate the Unite Way’s Children Healthy Eating on Weekends (CHEW) Center, in Jacksonville.

VIRGINIA: On Fort Lee, the USDA kicked off its 13th annual Feds Feed Families (FFF) campaign.  This means that for the past 13 years federal employees are being encouraged to donate food to silly-vilians, I mean civilians who are going hungry. Isn’t that a sign the country’s economy sucks? After all, a federal job is considered the best paying entry level job now, and I remember when being a federal employee meant you got less than private sector minimum wage (because I was one)!  The FFF program will be collecting food until September 30th.  This year U.S. military officials are blaming the food crisis on The Pandemic, as well as domestic and foreign political intrigues: “The annual Feds Feed Families food drive is one of the best ways for commissaries and military families to give back to the communities which host us around the nation. Unfortunately, with the pandemic and related issues of the last few years, the need is as great as it has been in a long time. The good news is that a little goes a long way.”-Sergeant Major Michael R. Saucedo, U.S. Marine Corps, Director of Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA)

Reuters: International health ‘experts’ now say food crisis is as bad as CoViD-19, new pandemics caused by food crisis!

The situation in Sri Lanka is so bad that enemies in the civil war have joined together to protest the government!  This 07JUN2022 report explains that Sri Lank is the first to fall, and massive shortages of all things, including food, is not about actual shortages but about the for-profit capitalist globalist logistics/supply chain:

Reuters: Sri Lanka government begs farmers to plant more rice, however, rice production is down 50% due to capitalist economic reasons (currency collapse & inflation), so where is the incentive to plant more?  Tea and corn also threatened as farmers do not have the estimated $600-million to buy the needed fertilizers!

Jon Jandai points out that there is no justifiable reason for food shortages:

The NATO members started the whole thing by imposing food sanctions against Russia. On 06JUN2022, Wynken Blynken & Nod, I mean the U.S. Secretary of State, as well as the Secretary of Agriculture, continue the lie that Russia is causing the global food crisis. Secretary Blinken:

U.S. Disaster 2022: Hurricane Hunters issue warning

Video

U.S. Atlantic hurricane season=June 1st to November 30th

For the start of June 2022, the U.S. Air Force, Army and Coast Guard issued some type of warning for this year’s hurricane season.

U.S. Army photo by Matt Roe, 01JUN2022.

On 01JUN2022, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers joined the city of New Orleans, as well as other local and state agencies in Louisiana, in pleading with residents to prepare for hurricanes and to heed evacuation orders/advisories. Also on 01JUN2022, U.S. Coast Guard District 8 issued a video reviewing the past few years of hurricane action for the Gulf states, including off-season action (incorrectly referred to as “inactive season”, because if there are still hurricanes then it is not “inactive”) and tropical storms:

The first baby formula shipments came from Nestlé in Switzerland (paid with your taxes), this latest shipment is from Nestlé’s Gerber factory in Netherlands. 29 pallets worth were delivered to Ramstein Air Base and loaded-up onto a FedEx MD11 aircraft.

U.S. Food Crisis, 22MAY2022: OPERATION FLY FORMULA; YOUR TAXES USED TO FUND THE BABY FORMULA INDUSTRY, DOMESTIC & FOREIGN!

FedEx has a long history of being involved with taxpayer funded military/government shipments, some dubious:

U.S. Logistics Shenanigans 2022: U.S. Naval Base Ventura County is allowing FedEx the use of Port Hueneme, to avoid all the private sector ports in California, which are backed up with container ships. Port Hueneme is considered “a strategic West Coast deep water seaport”, and it is only FedEx that is being allowed to use it!

Pandemic 2020:

FedEx is one of the many private sector transportation companies getting tax dollars to transport PPE and vaccines, in what the military calls a Pandemic Airbridge!

Operation Jupiter 2015: Seoul-Washington Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) Joint Committee is now overseeing a Joint Working Group (JWG) investigation into why FedEx delivered live weaponized anthrax to the U.S. Forces Korea Osan Air Base!

Korean Public Service and Transport Workers’ Union wants to sue the U.S. based delivery company FedEx, because it was FedEx, using Korean union members, that delivered the live anthrax samples to labs in Republic of Korea!

False Flag 2014: In northern California a large FedEx tractor trailer rig crossed into oncoming traffic and slammed head on into a tour bus.  Victims describe what sounded like a “sonic boom” as the FedEx truck instantly exploded.  It’s very odd that a front end collision would cause on explosion because the fuel tanks on both vehicles are not located in the front!

It is called Operation Fly Formula, supposedly ordered by U. S. President Joseph R. Biden Junior.  (the details are here WhiteHouse.gov: Biden Administration Approves First Operation Fly Formula Mission) Biden’s order also supports the re-opening of a capitalist corporation baby formula factory owned by Abbott Nutrition, and relaxes importation rules for foreign made baby formulas that are not currently sold in the U.S.!

Forget the ‘Pandemic’, its Bird Flu now! Don’t say I didn’t warn you (’cause I did, in 2020).

In January 2022, the H5N1 Bird Flu was confirmed in the small Eastern European country of Latvia.

This should be no surprise, because H5N1 was confirmed in NATO member state Latvia in 2021.

By the end of February 2021, Latvia decided to impose “enhanced biosecurity measures”, not over ‘The Pandemic’, but because of Bird Flu!

Latvia is so afraid for its poultry industry that it now requires vehicles that operate near poultry farms to be decontaminated (aka an agricultural wash), and that includes NATO military vehicles training for the Ukraine Crisis!
