Quercus Bio, a new startup AgTech company whose co-founders have previous funding connections with BlackRock and Google Ventures, is using AI to create "designer mini-proteins" which enter "target plants" and kill them.
They expect to replace glyphosate and other herbicides, as weeds have become increasingly resilient -- and, as they note, face too much regulatory scrutiny and consumer acceptance problems.
Rather than move to regenerative approaches and permaculture polycultures, they seek to 'fail forward' with even an more mad scientist approach on the "resistance treadmill." And as a bonus, they can do so without any regulation or oversight (as with the GMO microbes that are deploying now to replace fertilizer).

Sony announced that it's suspending fulfillment of all orders for nearly its entire SD and CF express memory card product lines "due to the global shortage of semiconductors (memory) and other factors."
This is not random. This comes on the back of consumer memory manufacturers announcing they will shift production to big expensive chips for GPUs — in other words, the big data centers.
What is happening is a shift at the semiconductor production level away from powerful consumer devices (laptops/desktop/cameras), towards cloud-only devices.
Soon there will only be "thin" devices that interact with cloud services that, like Sam Altman openly described, will be metered like utilities — because there won't even be components available for consumer devices.
This pushes your data—your documents, photos, videos—into the hands of the technocrats, where it is surveilled, shared with intelligence agencies, and used to train their AI models — and ensures no one will be able to run powerful AI models locally.
They want to centralize and control everything.
This is how you are losing your #RightToCompute. Silently. Gradually. And Relentlessly.

Food Crisis' Silver Lining: End Meat - Oxford Prof Admits [VIDEO]
In a recent New Scientist interview titled “The Global Food System Is Breaking - Here's Why,” Oxford professor Paul Behrens called the crisis a needed "global disaster" and the "silver lining" that will finally push through long-planned dietary shifts (like only eating beef every two weeks) and break farming's link to fossil fuels.
From the horse’s mouth: they openly say the coming hardship is "the push they've been waiting for," with "dietary changes" labeled as "the biggest lever."
Watch as the conversation quickly shifts from real problems to using this crisis as leverage for technocratic control over what ends up on your plate.

Digital Energy Relief Credits: You'll Have No Energy and Be Happy [VIDEO]
The same people who said “you’ll own nothing and be happy” are now running the response to the 2026 energy crisis. The IEA (whose boss chairs the WEF Energy Advisory Board) now has a public scoreboard tracking how governments are reacting: subsidies, tax cuts, flash loans in Australia, France, Spain and beyond.
It’s classic helicopter money…but that can’t last. You can print money. You can’t print food or kilowatt-hours.
Mark my words: next comes Digital Energy Relief Credits — programmable CBDC tokens in your digital ID wallet, good only for approved fuel, temporary, and tracked. Once those credits are scoped or geofenced? You’re living in a 15-minute city whether you like it or not.
The cure they’re offering is worse than the disease.
Start growing your own food. Build real resilience. Stay off the permission layer where you can.
And spread the word — this is happening in plain sight!

OpenAI CEO Altman says it's "totally possible" that there will be "a world shaking cyber attack this year that would get people's attention."
In this nod to Klaus Schwab's "cyberpandemic," we know that this planned attack will be used to justify restricted access to AI systems because they are "simply too powerful to entrust to the public." Altman's other statements about "metered access to AI, like a utility" reinforce that they are heading to this model.
They just need the right crisis to justify it. That crisis is long planned, and coming.

"Iran" targeting US power & water
A new joint advisory from FBI, CISA, NSA, EPA, Dept of Energy, and US Cyber Command claims Iran-affiliated actors are actively hacking programmable logic controllers (PLCs) — the little black boxes that run pumps, valves, chemical dosing, turbines, and substations across America's critical infrastructure.
This potentially impacts energy, water/wastewater treatment, irrigation districts for farms, and municipal government facilities.

New Zealand: pharmaceutical shortages already beginning due to supply chain issues — canary in the coal mine for rest of world.
The agency had listed isosorbide mononitrate, an angina medication, as the first drug to have shipping delays because of the conflict — a common medication that a lot of people depended on and the shortage due to the closure of the strait was very serious.
"Isosorbide is mainly used for angina. It opens up the arteries so that more blood flows through and more oxygen gets to the heart muscle. So, if you have angina, that's an essential medicine for stopping the angina attacks," he said.
Food, water, medicine — shorten your supply chains (i.e. grow your own herbs, whatever it takes) stat!

Iran halts ALL petrochemical exports after last week's US-Israeli strikes
Iran’s National Petrochemical Company (NPC) has halted its petrochemical exports "until further notice" to prioritize domestic supply, which was disrupted by US-Israeli strikes between February 28 and April 8.
Iran is a major exporter of polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene, as well as other petrochemical products used to manufacture plastics and a wide range of consumer and industrial goods.
“As you are aware, in view of the current conditions and the damages arising from war and hostile attacks against the country, supporting domestic industries and consumers is of great importance and sensitivity,” Mohammad Motaghi, the NPC’s director of development of downstream industries, said.

Yes: Australia's "Exercise Convergence" imagined energy shortages and a bird flu outbreak in early 2026:
"The multi-day crisis scenario explores the impact of fuel supply shortages, the transmission of HPAI H5 bird flu to animals and humans, natural hazards, power outages, international repatriations, supply chain disruptions, and social unrest.
"Approximately 350 participants from all levels of government, emergency services, charities, critical infrastructure, supermarkets, health, telecommunications, animal welfare, transport and logistics will work together to ensure all response systems are integrated and identify gaps for improvement."
This is REAL. This is why oil deliveries were halted BEFORE the Iran conflict went hot. This is why the fuel supply was restricted AS the media PUSHED people to go "stock up."
This is not organic, it is the scripted crisis we are now experiencing to usher in an incredibly destructive reshaping of the global energy markets and new financial system.

World faces food ‘catastrophe’ if Strait of Hormuz disruption persists: FAO
A prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could result in a global food “catastrophe”, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has warned, as shipments of critical agricultural inputs remain blocked in the key waterway due to the US-Israel war on Iran.
Food prices have not risen yet because existing stocks are absorbing the shock, the United Nations body’s chief economist, Maximo Torero, said in an interview on Monday, alongside David Laborde, director of FAO’s agrifood economics division.
