There it is folks. I hope people can see the natural arc of this self-fulfilling prophecy now. This also is why you should make sure you have potassium iodide tablets in your prep kit.
During a NATO press conference in Madrid [Transcript Here], today Joe Biden specifically attributed the upcoming global food shortage to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden was emphatic when responding to a question about oil costs, western nation energy development and the pending food shortage.
BIDEN…”I think there’s a lot of things we can do and we will do. But the bottom line is: Ultimately, the reason why gas prices are up is because of Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia. The reason why the food crisis exist is because of Russia — Russia not allowing grain to get out of Ukraine.” WATCH:
Please understand… The food shortage is a done deal. We are beyond the point where current action could impact what is coming. The timeframe to mitigate any global food shortage is in the rear-view. Efforts to mitigate the food crisis should have been done months ago. Nothing was or is being done.
The Western Alliance now needs a scapegoat, a justification for a food crisis that is almost certain to surface. We do not know the scale of the shortage, but we do know global food supplies are going to be less than needed to feed the world population.
The direct cause of the food shortage is the Western government decision to prioritize climate change over food production. The Build Back Better climate change agenda has created massive disruption with energy products (biofuel, fertilizer, diesel, natural gas etc) which are critical for the efficient production of food. However, the western alliance cannot and will not take responsibility for the food crisis. Instead, as you are seeing above, their plan is to blame Russia.
Stopping Russia from starving the world will be the justification for a physical escalation of conflict between NATO and Russia. All of the signs and indicators point in this direction. None of the geopolitical or global economic signs point away from this direction. A NATO led war with Russia is not a matter of “if”, it is a question of “when?”
The NATO and western alliance that is currently engaging in the military buildup against Russia is the exact same alliance of governments’ who are chasing the climate change agenda at all costs.
I know it sounds outlandish, but the World Economic Forum multinational corporations that influence and manipulate geopolitical politics are the driving force for this needed war with Russia. Their holy grail of Climate Change policy, and the massive shift in global economic power that comes with executing the climate change agenda, is so consequential to the geopolitical world that such a massive move is needed.
More specifically, we already know there is going to be a global food shortage as a result of the new world order energy policy that underpins the Build Back Better agenda. We do not know the extent of the food deficit; however, we do know less food, perhaps much less food, is going to be available on a global basis.
We also know the majority voices, including the United States, within the NATO alliance have decided it is more important to follow the climate change policy than it is to feed people. [Africa Example] The U.K and Germany proposed trying to avoid further conflict by generating more food [source]. The U.S. and Canada have blocked the effort saying that maintaining the shift toward new western energy development is more important.
Maintaining the development of a new western energy system to drive economic activity is more urgent and important than the looming crisis of global famine. Accepting that reality, understanding the priorities as outlined, are the keys to understanding why the western alliance need the war with Russia {GO DEEP}.
I cannot emphasize this enough. If you do not accept the scale, scope and severity of the collective west’s entrenched commitment to climate change, you will be caught off-guard and not understand what is coming.
NATO and Western Govt, led by the policy of Joe Biden, have placed oil and gas sanctions against Russia. Those U.S-led Russian energy sanctions follow similar sanctions already in place against oil and gas from Iran and Venezuela.
Simultaneously the G7, Western Alliance will not allow Africa to develop their own use of natural gas to produce fertilizer to increase crop yield/harvest. [source] The G7 control food production in Africa by controlling the energy company investment needed to manufacture fertilizer. Again, as with the biofuel issue [source], the G7 and Western Alliance are prioritizing Climate Change energy policy over food production. Which will ultimately cause food shortages and famine.
However, within this forecast dynamic, now the “WEST” has an ideological problem. Sooner or later the issues will surface with massive interest. People around the world will figure this out. The absence of food will change things. People in all parts of the world will eventually get angry once they realize the absence of food is being caused by Western Govt prioritizing Climate Change over people.
Things will get intense. Things will get ugly. The Western “leaders” need a scapegoat, a way to focus the world’s anger away from them… and toward something else. Their advanced narrative messaging has already surfaced in the words of National Security Coordinator for Strategic Communication, John Kirby:
“President Putin is, no kidding, weaponizing food. Let’s just call it what it is: He’s weaponizing food. He’s got an essential blockade there in the Black Sea so that nothing can leave by sea — and that’s, of course, how Ukraine has historically gotten its grain to markets.” [source]
It is not coincidental that John Kirby was moved from Pentagon spokesperson to NSC strategic communications at the White House. Kirby’s prior move into the White House is as much related to what is coming as the 101st Airborne deployment today.
Notice how the looming shortage of food is being blamed on Russian President Vladimir Putin. “He’s weaponizing food,” Kirby repeats, this is a significant and telling advance narrative. What Kirby is outlining is the western government justification for the upcoming war against Russia.
The collective western leaders, positioned by the NATO talking points, are going to justify war against Russia as a needed fight to stop the global food crisis from worsening. They will claim it is Russian President Vladimir Putin who has disrupted the world energy production.
NATO and the western alliance will claim Putin is the reason why food fertilizer is in short supply. NATO will claim that Putin’s war in Ukraine is the source of the global energy, food and subsequent economic crisis. Just like Putin has been blamed for higher energy and gasoline prices, so too will Putin be blamed for starving millions of people.
The war against Russia will be justified as the war to stop Putin from creating mass starvation.
If you cannot see how this is being constructed through all of the sub-links, citations and sources above, I cannot lay this out more clearly.
A NATO and western alliance war with Russia is not a matter of “if“, it is now a question of when? Perhaps Vladimir Putin can outwit them somehow; but unless a massive number of people in the world begin to accurately see what is happening, no change in direction is likely.
Be proactive just in case. Buy potassium iodide pills now, they will not be available when you need them. Prepare for shortages in many essential products and most importantly, accept things as they are – NOT as you would wish them to be. The Build Back Better global energy agenda is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

We can see no political scenario where the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) will report a negative second quarter GDP number, despite the reality of a contracted economy.
A negative second quarter GDP would mean the Joe Biden economic policies have resulted in a recession. Yes, the economy is contracting; and yes, the economy is in an actual recession. However, it would be too politically damaging for the federal bureaucrats to quantify it accurately.
That being said, the Atlanta Fed is now calculating a negative 1% second quarter GDP result [DATA HERE]:
(Fed Reserve) – The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the second quarter of 2022 is -1.0 percent on June 30, down from 0.3 percent on June 27. After recent releases from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis and the US Census Bureau, the nowcasts of second-quarter real personal consumption expenditures growth and real gross private domestic investment growth decreased from 2.7 percent and -8.1 percent, respectively, to 1.7 percent and -13.2 percent, respectively. (link)
CTH predicts the BEA is likely to generate a statistical report somewhere in the +0.5% range. Just enough positive GDP to avoid the literal definition of a recession. The BEA report will be issued at the end of July and if they follow recent patterns, they will likely underestimate the inflation rate as well as under-calculate the import data.

The Environmental Protect Agency (EPA) was attempting to restrict the energy production from coal-based power plants through a regulatory cap-and-trade scheme intended to limit the emissions from electricity plants. However, by a 6-3 vote the Supreme Court said today the Clean Air Act does not give the EPA broad authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. [pdf Ruling Here] The regulation -if any- must come from congress, not regulatory fiat from an executive agency.
New York Post – The Supreme Court rolled back the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants Thursday, dealing a massive blow to the Biden administration’s plans to fight climate change.
The 6-3 decision overturned a lower court ruling that gave the federal agency virtually unlimited regulatory powers through the Clean Air Act. […] Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts agreed with the states that “it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme.”
“A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body,” he added.
Roberts also noted that the EPA claimed to have the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions only after Congress declined to expand that authority through legislation.
“At bottom, the Clean Power Plan essentially adopted a cap-and-trade scheme, or set of state cap-and-trade schemes, for carbon,” the chief justice wrote. ” … Congress, however, has consistently rejected proposals to amend the Clean Air Act to create such a program. It has also declined to enact similar measures, such as a carbon tax … Given these circumstances, our precedent counsels skepticism toward EPA’s claim …” (read more)
We’ve heard of the refugees and people fleeing Syria for a better life, but the media rarely reports how dire the situation has become. Reuters recently reported that 1.5% of the Syrian population is DEAD due to the ongoing war. Estimates state that around 83 people (18 who are innocent children) die every day in Syria. So why has everyone overlooked this decade-long deadly battle?
I mentioned in 2013 how former President Obama wanted to invade Syria. In 2009, Qatar proposed a pipeline that would have sent energy to Europe from Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Jordan. Then Syrian ruler Assad, backed by Russia, began negotiating for a different pipeline with Iran that would run gas to Europe from Iraq and Syria. Russia saw an economic advantage to having the latter pipeline as the US was too closely linked to Qatar, and therefore, the Iranian pipeline became a priority for Russia.
Putin met with Obama in 2015 to ask him to support Assad against ISIS. Obama objected as that was not economically beneficial for the US and would give Russia almost a monopoly over European energy. Obama began suddenly lifting sanctions on Iran to break the forming alliance. Russia entered Syria on the exact day the ECM predicted, and the US began backing Assad’s opposition even though that meant funding the terrorist group ISIS.
There have been no developments on the Iran–Iraq–Syria pipeline (known as the friendship pipeline) since 2013. The Syrian people have been left to rot. There is so much virtue signaling for Ukraine, but numerous nations invaded Syria and left their economy and infrastructure in shambles. No politician cares about the people; nearly all decisions are made based on money. The US lost this battle as Russia remains an energy powerhouse with a stronghold on the entire energy sector. Thanks, Obama.
French President Emmanuel Macron pulled US President Joe Biden aside at the G7 summit to explain a few basic facts. Biden has been demanding Middle Eastern nations ramp up their oil and gas production to help offset the energy crisis his administration has created. It’s ok to drill and take from the environment as long as it is not on US soil.
Journalist Michael Shellenberger tweeted part of the exchange between the US and French leaders: “I had a call with MBZ,” Macron said. (MBZ is the leader of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.) “He told me two things. I’m at a maximum [production capacity] and [the] Saudis can increase by 150 [thousands barrels per day].”
Reporters were visibly in earshot when Macron spoke to Biden, which seems like a strategic move. It is a not-so-subtle effort to explain to the US, as the world is watching, that they have the power to ramp up production on its own without grappling for help from other nations.
It is very curious that Cassidy Hutchenson is testifying to what would be considered inadmissible evidence in a court of law. She has said that President Donald Trump was so irate that his Secret Service detail wouldn’t take him to the Capitol on Jan. 6 that he tried to grab the wheel of the armored limousine, then attacked one of the agents, according to testimony from a top former White House aide. This is HEARSAY and this political agenda of January 6th is a kangaroo court in its grand sense.
The entire object here is to claim January 6th was an armed insurrection so they can constitutionally prevent Trump from running again. This so-called “evidence” from Cassidy Hutchenson would NEVER be allowed in any court of law. The only person who could give such evidence would be the Secret Service agent. It must be someone with personal knowledge. Hutchenson has ruined her career for who would hire her fearing she could testify against her boss and makes up anything.
A proper constitutional investigation would be to take Hutchinson’s statement, identify the Secret Service agent, and then subpoena him to the stand. The fact that they never contacted the Secret Service raises a HUGE Red Flag that they are simply trying to poison the minds of everyone knowing that this is NOT acceptable evidence in a court of law.
This is like a disgruntled neighbor calling the cops saying they “think” you killed your spouse because they have not seen them for a week when they are merely out of town. I have deep concerns that now Hutchinson may have been offered something in return for this testimony and here we have Liz Cheney, whose father created the Iraq Way on fake information killing millions of people, and was responsible for the rise of ISIS, claiming falsely that “the case for prosecuting Donald Trump just got much stronger.” She is NOT stupid. She is an is an American attorney and therefore knows that HEARSAY is not acceptable in any court in the world. She is DELIBERATELY lying to the public to prevent Trump from ever running for President.
I hope Wyoming just moves West and joins California for hopefully they will secede from the Union and I will cheer – good riddance! This is not about the rule of law. This is about oppression. The Justice Department is trying to give people who were just there taking a selfie 5 years in prison.

In his opening monologue tonight, Fox News host Tucker Carlson outlined a political list of DOJ and FBI targets over the past 18 months. Some of these examples are probably forgotten; however, when you see the examples highlighted with a timeline it really does showcase how our system of government has been weaponized by a corrupt Dept of Justice and corrupt FBI.
The part where the political dissidents are outlined begins at 05:39 (prompted) WATCH:
