US announces they are deploying 15,000 troops, guided-missile destroyers, 100+ aircraft, and unmanned platforms for 'Project Freedom' to escort commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz starting TODAY.

If you were hoping this conflict would magically de-escalate and major food/energy crises might be avoided, it's not looking that way.

You still have time this season: get your hands in the soil! Plant a garden, expand what you're growing/raising, or connect with local community & farmers. Building resilience in your own food production is one of the most meaningful things you can do RIGHT NOW to make tomorrow better.

Thermal Drones Hunt French Farmers' Cattle - Russia Slaughters Livestock

Surveillance of food production is ramping up, as France deploys drones using thermal imaging to detect "unauthorized" cattle. Meanwhile, Russia is mass culling healthy animals. Centralization of the food supply never ends well. Decentralize--start growing food today!

Chevron CEO admits oil shortages are now hitting and without energy, economies will start shrinking:

He echoes what I'd said weeks ago, that the IEA-ordered release of reserves has slowed the impact, but that we're now hitting the end of that:

"We will start to ​see physical shortages," Wirth said, noting that surplus supply in commercial markets, ​tankers in so-called shadow fleets avoiding sanctions, and national strategic reserves were being absorbed.

"Demand needs to move to meet supply," he said. "Economies are going to have ​to slow."

He pointed out that the last scheduled shipment ​of oil from ​the Gulf was ⁠being offloaded at the Port of Long Beach, which supplies Los Angeles and southern California.

As 'box of ticks dropped on farm' videos are going viral, it's interesting that the mainstream media is drawing attention to it, yet calling it a hoax/conspiracy theory.

It DOES make one remember WEF-linked 'bioethicist' Matthew Liang openly discussing genetically engineering "tiny humans" and making humans allergic to meat to fight climate change...

This Time Is Different [VIDEO]

The world is racing toward energy collapse and global depression. But this time, the rules have changed: no victory gardens. No resilience. Just digital IDs, CBDC, rationing, and engineered dependence. This time is different.

A sober, big-picture look at the long-planned collapse into the Great Reset -- and why growing your own food is more important now than ever.

Bezos invests in "Arrived" — so the 'common man' can own a share of rental properties.

JD Vance invests in "AcreTrader" — making it easier for people invest in farmland.

The media hails it as "democratization of ownership" — deceptive marketing to obfuscate the truth, that it ELIMINATES PRIVATE OWNERSHIP of homes and farms. The real ownership stays in these REITs, holding companies, BlackRock, et al.

They said "You'll own nothing and be happy." And they meant it. You get a fractional share and a dividend. They keep the asset and the control.

Want to get rich quick? Pitch CarSlicer: "As cars become too expensive to own, CarSlicer makes it possible for the common man to own a slice of a robotaxi fleet!"

The WEF crowd will throw money at you. But then, you'd be working for the devil...

Welcome to financialization of everything. The Great Taking is upon us...

NEW PODCAST! 🎙👨‍🌾🛂

Christian Westbrook (@iceagefarmer) discusses the omnicrisis being used to engineer social control. Globalist entities are utilizing food scarcity, energy rationing, and AI-driven surveillance—a “beast system”—to dismantle national sovereignty and individual autonomy. Both Western and Eastern powers are equally complicit in implementing these oppressive technologies. To counter this neo-feudalism, Westbrook advocates for spiritual resilience and practical self-sufficiency. https://geopoliticsandempire.com/2026/05/05/westbrook-peace-omnicrisis

Billions of Private Student Messages Hacked Across 8,809 Schools [VIDEO]

Billions of private student messages across 8,809 schools have been hacked by the ShinyHunters group. This is what "smart schools" actually deliver: a dumb (and predictable) result of centralization of education into one vulnerable cloud. It is the latest example of why planetary-scale consolidation of data--as with Palantir's taking over military ops and farm production data--doesn’t bring efficiency or safety — it brings fragility at scale.

People must understand the true cost of these AI data centers isn't just tremendous amounts of water (as they turn off water to gardens in Utah) or power (as they prepare to lock us down for an energy crisis) -- it is our sovereignty and security.

If you’re done feeding data into the beast systems of the technocrats, spread the word.

The Tokenization Trap: You'll Own Nothing, They'll Control Everything [VIDEO]

Bezos, Vance, BlackRock, and the WEF are turning homes, cars, farms, and even nature into tiny fractional slices you "own", while they keep the asset...and the control.

With tokenized assets, your dividend only pays if you (or the asset) obey the technocrats' rules. ESG scores, carbon targets, compliance metrics, all will be enforced automatically.

They weren't joking about “You’ll Own Nothing." Watch this video to learn how it works:

Hantavirus being blamed on climate change. When "global warming" stops being scary, they had to double down on the narrative. They also say "humans interacting with wild environments" is to blame—as if humans haven't been in nature since the dawn of time—which speaks to their idea that humans must be "separated" from unsafe, dirty nature, and herded into the smart cities. (I covered this 5 years ago when even Fauci was saying zoonotic diseases would be the source of future pandemics):

"Experts blame climate change and habitat destruction for the rise in cases of the disease, which is usually caused by exposure to the urine or feces of infected rodents.

“Increasing human interaction with wild environments, habitat destruction, the establishment of small urbanizations in rural areas, and the effects of climate change contribute to the appearance of cases outside historically endemic areas,” the ministry said.

Anyone going to a risk area for tourism, if it is not cleared of undergrowth, represents a very high danger,” Debbag said.

Hantavirus Blamed on Climate Change - The Zoonotic Threat Realized

"Experts" are blaming the new hantavirus outbreak on “climate change” and “increasing human interaction with nature.”

In other words, nature is dangerous! Going outside, living rural, or being with animals is reckless. This is the precisely the narrative I warned of in 2020: the zoonotic threat is being used to herd people into smart cities. Now, six years later, that exact script is playing out right on schedule.

Watch to see how the Hantavirus outbreak connects to Agenda 2030, tokenized financial systems, and technocratic agenda.

Bird Flu Goes Airborne: Stage Set for Next Pandemic [VIDEO]

A new study confirms live, infectious H5N1 is spreading through the air on California dairy farms — just as we're being flooded with hantavirus stories warning that "animals are dangerous."

Meanwhile, major infrastructure moves are quietly falling into place: Ginkgo just spun out its biosecurity unit into Perimeter Systems with defense-tech money, Palantir secured massive USDA farm data access, and advanced tools to "adjudicate" virus origins are now in private hands (the same network who funded the gain of function research...).

Former CDC Director Robert Redfield has been warning this was coming for years. Australia ran rehearsals for the exact scenario. Walmart is staging pandemic plexiglass again. And enforcement precedents are already active.

I connect the dots on the full picture: surveillance, narrative control, capital positioning, and what it means for food sovereignty.

50,000 Lake Tahoe residents told to "find their own power" after utility company directs their output to data centers.

Google, Apple, and Microsoft have either built or are planning facilities around the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center east of Reno — and residents, who are already paying drastically increased rates, are now learning their energy supplier is simply redirecting its output.

"the energy supplier for the Lake Tahoe region [NV Energy] is telling the utility company [Liberty Utilities] that it has less than a year to find another power source."

One wouldn't do this ... unless one WANTED an outcry against the new data centers.

Wheat exploded in price yesterday (limit up) after USDA forecast that over 8 million acres of HRW (Hard Red Wheat) will be abandoned in the Great Plains

That's 37% of planted acreage reported in the March Prospective Planting report, and means U.S. farmers this year will harvest their smallest wheat crop since 1972.

This comes on top of already record-low planted acreage heading into the season (lowest since 1919 in some metrics). Global supplies are tightening too.

Expect bread, pasta, baked goods, and processed foods to climb in the coming months — and pressure on livestock feed could push meat/dairy prices higher as well. This is another brick in the wall of rising food costs.

Grow your own food — that is the answer. Stock seeds, expand the garden, learn to preserve, and connect with local growers.

Farmers Abandon Wheat Crop, Igniting Global Food Shortage Fears [VIDEO]

Wheat futures explode after the USDA dropped a bombshell: 10.5+ million acres of U.S. wheat abandoned, marking the smallest American wheat crop since 1972. Hard Red Winter (the main bread wheat) is getting crushed, with production down sharply and futures limit-up.

Globally it's no better: major exporters like Australia (-17%), Argentina (-25%), Canada (-12%), and others are all down at once. The result? A tightening world supply that mainstream analysts say is now raising serious food shortage fears.

Why are farmers walking away from fields? Drought + skyrocketing diesel prices are making harvest uneconomical on millions of acres.

What does this means for you? Sharply higher prices for bread, pasta, flour, cereals, and baked goods are coming. It also pushes up livestock feed costs, which will drive higher meat, dairy, and egg prices in the months ahead.

Climate Cultists Now Punishing the Elderly for "Sinning" Against the Planet

Danish Green party politician openly defends capping nursing home residents at just 80 grams of beef per week (about 11g/day = less than a single taco):

“Everyone, including the elderly, must contribute to achieving our climate goals. It is precisely the generation that has screwed up the most.”

They aren't even hiding it any more — rationing protein for the elderly is not about the climate. It's about control. They want to break the food system, destroy traditional farming and ranching, and dictate who eats what.

From this to the biometric ID needed for food aid in India, "The Great Reset" targets the vulnerable first.

Food prices posted the largest month-to-month increase in four years in April as energy volatility starts to hit.

Growing a garden is a FANTASTIC investment: in finances, in health, and in liberty!

Food prices jumped 0.7% in April alone (up 2.9% year-over-year), the largest month-to-month increase in four years. "Higher freight and energy costs are just starting to impact the rise in consumer food prices, but it could take up to six months or more for costs to fully reflect the current environment."

Tomatoes have had the largest run-up in prices, 15 percent higher since March and 30 percent above February. Even the NYTimes is saying "Tomato prices are soaring".

Ukraine Aims to Liquidate Family Farms

The gov is pushing an amendment to Civil Code that eliminates "Family Farm" as a legal entity, forcing farmers to re-register as sole proprietorship or a full LLC (or go black market).

Experts are warning this causes all sorts of headaches for traditional farms—including inheritance issues— and fuels the consolidation of independent/smale-scale food production into large corporate hands.

The technocratic takeover of food proceeds around the world!
