Food Shortages: A Controlled Burn?

“God made man, then he made firefighters.” [Wiggin Sessions] May 13, 2022 Food Shortages: A Controlled Burn? “God made man, then he made firefighters.” — Joe Biden [Addison Wiggin]Dear Reader, I grew up in New Hampshire. For a living, my parents bought and restored old colonial era houses. Between the ages of five and eight, we lived on a farm first established in 1751. We grew our own vegetables. Raised chickens. My father was a beekeeper. My mother planted flowers and made bouquets to sell on the side of the road alongside the pumpkins and gourds we grew. All the while, we worked on the house. We rented part of the acreage to a family friend who ran a dairy farm. “Uncle Doug” we called him was also the Speaker of the House in New Hampshire. He used the rented land to grow corn for his cows. Very pastoral, eh? It was nice. Every year, either in early spring or late fall, we’d gather friends and family and do what’s called a “controlled burn”. We’d set fires in the field and burn tall dormant grass and as much of the remaining corn stalks as we could gather. I remember it as a festive occasion. For some odd reason, I was remembering the controlled burns this morning while reading an article on G. Edward Griffin’s website “Need To Know”. You’ll recall Griffin is the author [The Creature From Jekyll Island]( about the background and collusion on that famous island off the coast of Georgia yielding our beloved Federal Reserve in 1913. “Who Owns Union Pacific Railway and Why Did It Cut Shipping of Fertilizer to Farmers?” reads the headline that caught my eye. Since we’ve already been taken to task by Professor Phil this week for writing about the trade dispute between CF Industries (CFI) and Union Pacific, we thought we’d read a little more. What I found would probably not be to Professor Phil’s standards, because there was very little citation. The article is little more than a reprint of the CFI press release explaining why farmers will not be getting their fertilizer shipments in time for spring planting on the rails owned by Union Pacific. But the headline and lead offer a little twist. The investment firm BlackRock and the fund behemoth Vanguard apparently own majority stakes in both companies. “This is layers of odd,” the article reads, “as many readers are aware, the prices of fertilizer have skyrocketed as supplies have been heavily impacted by increased energy costs and supply chain issues.” The cost of fertilizer is, as we wrote about, is likely to cause lower farm yields. That’s not a scientific assessment, but it does shimmer under the light of economic reason. After laboring through the press release, one finds a link to this headline: “BlackRock CEO and World Economic Forum globalist Larry Fink says corporations must work harder to ‘force’ people to change behaviors.” One presumes, behaviors must change if they’re to achieve their net-zero by 2030 agenda. I’m only following the breadcrumbs laid out by Griffin’s team here: Is it possible that BlackRock and Vanguard have engineered a shortage of fertilizer to achieve their globalist climate change agenda? Are they creating a shortage on purpose to increase both demand and price for fertilizer? If the dearth in fertilizer leads to mild food shortages and/or a decision to buy alternate products… does that accomplish what the article intones? “Behaviors are going to have to change,” Fink told a forum at the New York Times in 2018, “and this is one thing we are asking companies, you have to force behaviors. At BlackRock we are forcing behaviors.” As Chairman and CEO of BlackRock, Fink presides over $10 trillion in assets. He is a member of the World Economic Forum’s board of trustees and is listed as one of their top “agenda contributors.” He is on the board of directors of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) which effectively determines U.S. Foreign Policy. And this little known fact, he sits on the International Rescue Committee, one of nine private agencies that funnel refugees from destabilized countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, and Sudan all places the U.S. Military has been actively involved. How does a guy like Larry Fink have time or the moral turpitude to orchestrate a food shortage in the middle of America? Maybe a test run? A controlled burn? C’mon, it’s Friday. Give a guy a chance to work the imaginary muscle a bit. We’re sure Professor Phil will find our musings entertaining, if unseemly, but probably not enough to share this one with his students. Follow your bliss, [Addison Wiggin] Addison Wiggin Founder, The Wiggin Sessions P.S. Larry Fink is no doubt fast friends with Mark Carney, another fanboy of Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF). You may remember Carney is the only man in history to ever be the head of two central banks at the same time – Canada and England. He also, as the head of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFNZ), managed to raise $130 trillion in private money at COP26 back in October 2021 for climate change initiatives like those expressed by Fink and the rest of the [Davos Crowd](. You could probably direct a lot of train traffic and cargo with $130 trillion. P.P.S.
