Famines Are Man-Made

Via Ken, news on what rising prices mean to logistics.
It’s a problem many have been hearing about for months now: the high price of gas. But what many who aren’t in the industry might not realize is how the skyrocketing cost of diesel fuel, in particular, is hurting truckers.
While the Energy Information Administration said gas prices are down by one penny in the last week, that’s not giving any relief to drivers, who say some companies are being forced to lay off employees.
That’s the case for Omar Edwards of North Carolina, a truck driver who owns and operates his own company. He’s had to let some employees go, and is looking for other ways to maximize profit.
“I’m heading over to Atlanta to actually pick up one of my drivers,” Edwards said. “We’re going to be team driving right now.”
Speaking to NewsNation local affiliate WJZY, Edwards said this could lead to less trucks on the road.
“A lot of these trucks you see now are not going to be here anymore. A lot of these trucks are a small company like myself that just can’t afford to pay these high prices,” Edwards said.
AAA on Tuesday recorded a record national average of $5.57 for a gallon of diesel fuel.
Preventing pipelines and refusal to issue drilling permits has consequences. In this case fewer trucks on the road, less goods delivered to market, and empty grocery shelves.
In related news North of the border, Canadian farmers will continue to suffer under the yoke of tyranny.
CALGARY, AB: The Western Canadian Wheat Growers are shocked by the depth of the impact of the federal government’s proposed 30% reduction in fertilizer emissions. Fertilizer Canada has had an independent analysis of the effects of the proposed emissions reduction.
The analysis by Meyers Norris Penny (MNP) calculates that “If Canada adopt(s) the EU model, the potential economic impact of reduced fertilizer use would be devastating to Canadian farmers”. The calculations show that by 2030, the prairie provinces will have the following losses:
- Alberta – $2.95B loss in their Canola and Spring Wheat crops
- Saskatchewan – $4.61B loss in their Canola and Spring Wheat crops
- Manitoba – $1.58B loss in their Canola, Corn and Spring Wheat crops
Droughts are natural. Famines are man-made.

They have a playbook and are running it. The WEF conference (“Davos”) announcing this painful “transition” we’re in toward green energy. Those comments are picked up by the Comms team on Air Force One and the puppet’s staff – still in his overseas visit to Korea, Japan, et al – immediately incorporate that word into a speech by the marionette, along with words alluding to the pain.
Again, at its core this is not operational incompetence. They have a plan.

I’ve been saying for years that they are not stupid, they are evil, and there’s a big difference.

Americans have the collective power to deal with any regime that holds Americans hostage and rules by treason and tyranny. The most important things Americans lack are the willpower and willingless to sacrifice their fat lazy hedonist lifestyles for liberty and freedom.
And this is why the Communists will complere their takeover of the United States with ease.
