The GOAL here is incite open revolt to usher in complete martial law, totalitarianism as the food runs out.

We are at the jump off point. Get ready. Stay strong.

As I'd warned in this report, grains are cut off from export from Canada -- HALF of the grain exports go through shipment. HALF of the 3rd largest grain exporter shipments. A significant chunk of an already poor harvest is stuck in the prairies:

Storms at Canada’s Biggest Port Leave Grain Stuck in Prairie

(Bloomberg) -- Mountains of wheat and canola are stranded in Canada after storms blocked access to the Port of Vancouver during peak shipping season.

There’s no rail access to Canada’a biggest port after days of torrential rain and landslides. About 20 vessels are waiting for deliveries, while a couple hundred thousand tons of grain are stuck in transit, according to Quorum, a company that monitors Canada’s grain transportation system.

It’s so bad that some exporters may even be forced to declare force majeure to avoid penalties as they won’t be able to make deliveries on time, said Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevator Association.

Record-high fertiliser prices in Australia could disrupt food supplies

Experts believe farmers may ration use of fertiliser [IAF: as is already happening in India], leading to lower yield and higher global food prices

Surging energy costs and export restrictions from usual overseas suppliers are leading to record high fertiliser prices in Australia, with analysts predicting farmers could be forced to ration its use, potentially disrupting global food supply.

He said as a result, “we’ll see more rationing, as farmers will use less fertiliser because it’s too expensive” which could disrupt the global food supply chains.

“Fertiliser is one of the key components ensuring we’re able to feed the world.

“If farmers are using less fertiliser, there’s the potential for lower yields and if there’s lower yields there’s less food to go around.”

Organic wheat, for example, yields 30% less on average than the synthetically fertilised equivalent, according to Whitelaw.

Access to food being restricted — starts with the employees:

ALDI to terminate employment of all Unvaccinated workers by March 2022

The supermarket chain ALDI, has written to all employees informing them that they have until 1st March 2022, to provide proof of their Covid-19 vaccination status, and if they refuse to do so or are confirmed to be not-vaccinated then their employment will be terminated.

The proposed mandate will apply to all ALDI stores in Australia, the current testing ground for the most Draconian and disproportionate restrictions, but it’s only a matter of time before they enforce the same policy throughout stores elsewhere.

Very interesting to see ‘Little Ice Age’ coming out of the Mirror with respect to their inbound storm:

“I couldn't imagine a better weather pattern for cold weather fans, with forecast models showing a northerly straight from the Arctic next week. There is not likely to be any relief from the freezing temperatures for weeks as it will hang around -2C to -4C for much of the country."

UK weather forecast: Heavy snow to fall 'for days' as temperatures fall to -12C
The UK is set to have freezing temperatures from the start of next week which are likely to drop to as low as -12C by the end of the month while snow is predicted that will last for days

Brits face freezing temperatures from the start of next week along with several days of snow, which could extend as far south as London.

From there the mercury will fall dramatically and possibly hit -12C by the end of November in what has been called a “little ice age” due to Arctic plumes blowing south.

What if extreme weather froze your bank account?

The World Economic Forum’s new mini promo makes it clear that we should expect more failures of infrastructure and financial networks — not just due to cyberattacks, but now also “global warming.”

A remarkably thinly veiled threat to take down society, blame your carbon footprint, justify the #ClimateLockdown. The lashings will continue until you eat bugs. “Thank you sir may I have another?”

WEF Warns: Global Warming to Disrupt Financial System, "Freeze" Bank Accounts

In its latest predictive propaganda, the World Economic Forum asks, "What if extreme weather FROZE your bank account?" It is clear that deliberate interruptions to critical infrastructure are coming, and will be blamed on climate change in order to make the case that an imagined "climate disaster" requires carbon lockdowns and the totalitarian response for which the technocrats have been salivating for generations. Prepare for these disruptions -- particularly to our food -- now!

Fertilizer shortage may lead to spring scramble on North America's farms

A global shortage of nitrogen fertilizer is driving prices to record levels, prompting North America's farmers to delay purchases and raising the risk of a spring scramble to apply the crop nutrient before planting season.

Farmers apply nitrogen to boost yields of corn, canola and wheat, and higher fertilizer costs could translate into higher meat and bread prices. Global urea prices this month topped $1,000 per tonne for the first time.

World food prices hit a 10-year high, according to the United Nations food agency, led by increases in cereal crops like wheat and vegetable oils.

GRAINS-Paris wheat sets new record highs as traders fret on world supplies (ie we are running out)

Nov 23 (Reuters) - Paris wheat futures rose to new record peaks on Tuesday, while Chicago wheat consolidated near a nine-year high, as quality risks in Australia's harvest and a deterioration in U.S. growing conditions kept attention on tightening global supplies.

On Paris-based Euronext, December wheat BL2Z1 rose to a new all-time high (ATH) for a Euronext contract at 312.25 euros ($351.06) a tonne.

"There is no end in sight to the price rally in the near future," Commerzbank said of wheat, citing factors including harvest rain in Australia, flood disruption to Canadian exports and the prospect of rising export taxes in Russia.

In Australia, heavy rains in eastern regions are threatening to damage crops, adding to quality concerns after early harvest results in the west showed disappointing protein content. Dry conditions in some U.S. winter wheat belts have also fuelled early worries about next year's harvests.

Refinery that supplies estimated one-third of Lower Mainland gas runs out of crude oil

Calgary-based Parkland Corp.’s Burnaby refinery, which supplies an estimated one-third of the gas to the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island said Tuesday it has stopped processing operations because it had run out of crude oil due to the Trans Mountain pipeline shutdown after last week’s catastrophic flooding.

“Parkland maintains some crude-oil storage on-site, so up until today, it has been able to continue operations,” said Kent Fellows, a professor at the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy.

“Trans Mountain would also normally be shipping about 27,000 barrels per day of gasoline and diesel from refineries near Edmonton to the Lower Mainland in B.C.,” said Fellows.

Flood waters are highly toxic — and much of the affected BC farmland now needs remediation:

Concerns over contaminated floodwater, decaying animals from Sumas Prairie
…
“You can’t get them water. You have no grain. Your feed is compromised,” he said.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before. God willing, we never see anything like this again in our lifetime.”

Thousands of cows were rescued from Sumas Prairie, but the B.C. Dairy Association also reports about 500 cattle have died there during the floods. More than 100,000 chickens also did not survive.

One of the problems now facing farmers is what to do with the decaying animals. “We’ve got to get them out and dispose of them in the proper way,” Verdonk said.

Another pressing problem for farmers is the floodwaters that continue to make fields in eastern Sumas Prairie look like lakes and have turned roads into rivers. “This water’s contaminated. There’s been dead chickens, dead cows, dead other farm animals. There’s manure pits,” he explained.

That contaminated water is also top-of-mind for blueberry farmers with flooded fields, “The plants roots are not getting oxygen. The water is toxic with all the contaminants. The chemicals, the manure’s in there. The fuel’s in there," said blueberry farmer Harry Sidhu.

He said his family has two farms still under eight feet of water.

“The soil itself, it’s contaminated. It’s going to need to be remediated,” he said, adding that thousands of acres of berries will need to be ripped out and replaced.

“It’s catastrophic. It’s horrific,” he said. “We need immediate relief.”

WHO says it's time for countries to have 'healthy debate' about mandatory vaccination

The World Health Organisation has suggested it is time for countries to have a conversation about mandatory COVID-19 vaccines, saying: "It's a healthy debate to have."

Robb Butler, executive director for WHO Europe, told Kay Burley on Sky News: "Mandatory vaccination can, but doesn't always increase uptake."

However, he suggested countries - and individuals - should now be thinking about the issue.

German Power Prices Soar As Arctic Blast To Bring "Significant Snow"

Europe's first cold spell of the heating season has arrived, pressuring power prices higher as freezing temperatures ushers in increased power demand to heat building structures across the central-west region.

German day-ahead power prices jumped to the second-highest level ever, 273.89 euros per megawatt-hour. Day-ahead power prices are also higher in France and Netherlands.

Weather models for Germany show between Nov. 24 - Dec. 4. -- the average temperature will hover well below the 30-year norm or around 30-35 degrees. Low temps will dip into the mid 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

The cold snap will test Germany and the other parts of Europe's energy systems already under stress due to the lowest natural gas stockpiles since 2013. There appears to be no relief in dwindling gas flows into the continent as German energy regulators decided to suspend the Nord Stream 2 pipeline certification process last week. With every hiccup the Russian to German pipeline faces, natural gas prices increase, forcing power prices higher. There's also the issue that more power generation has to be diverted from alternative energy sources to fossil fuels due to unreliability:

"Wind generation and temperatures below the seasonal norm are increasing gas-for-power and heating demand; this provides bullish pressure to day-ahead contract," Inspired Energy said in a report.

Europe is staring into a perfect storm of forces that could spark a winter of discontent and continue socio-economic chaos on the continent. EU politicians won't publicly say, but they need Putin's gas to avert an energy crisis this coming winter that could sweep many politicians out of power due to uncontrollable energy inflation.

Return of Mao-Era Coal Coupons Show China’s Crisis Isn’t Over

A local government in China is resurrecting coal coupons -- a relic of Mao Zedong’s planned economy days -- to ensure its citizens have access to heating fuel as they brace for a bitter winter.

Shuozhou, located in the heart of coal country in Shanxi province, has distributed coupons to 47,000 families to help them purchase the heating fuel, the official China Youth Daily reported on Wednesday. Each coupon is good for two tons of subsidized coal, enough for each household to last through the winter and early spring.

CEO of commodity trading giant Trafigura (and the media) keep beating the drum about rolling blackouts across Europe: "Europe is at risk of power outages this winter due to insufficient gas reserves and over the long-term, oil could rise above $100 a barrel.”

Yet the rep from ENTSO-E, the bloc's electricity network operators, says the media is hyping up the risk, "Blackouts are extreme and very rare events in Europe," said the group's spokesperson, adding that the last major grid outage in Europe happened nearly two decades ago. Since then, the continent's grids are better connected, allowing electricity and gas to flow easily between countries.

Note that Trafigura is a WEF partner — https://www.weforum.org/organizations/trafigura — note he is even pictured here in the Reuters article in front of a WEF logo! A not-so-subtle nod, part of the club...

What does he know that the industry experts don’t? What will happen to the EU energy supply this winter (and who will do it)?

I don’t know — but I do know you should have water, heat and cooking on hand.
