Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations.

But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let nations work together to come up with a new world economic framework, of mutual benefit. More farmers and ranchers, and more food!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farmers and ranchers of the world joining together is the powerful moral force that can bring the world back on track.

Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions.

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hungry Shall Be Fed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hungry Shall Be Fed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let nations work together to come up with a new world economic framework, of mutual benefit. More farmers and ranchers, and more food!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany.

Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

North German Businessmen Call for Russian Gas and Nord Stream 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014Entrepreneurs in Germany\u2019s northern state of Mecklenburg-Prepomerania called for Russian natural gas delivered via Nord Stream 2, and ridiculed currently planned experiments with LNG terminals. The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014In an open letter to Chancellor Olaf Scholz, a collection of utilities, housing associations, and other municipal enterprises of southern Saxony (in particular, the Vogtland region) call for a de-escalation of the anti-Russia campaign, an end to sanctions on Russia, and an end to arms deliveries to Ukraine.

The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let nations work together to come up with a new world economic framework, of mutual benefit. More farmers and ranchers, and more food!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Tyskland l\u00e5ter det s\u00e5 h\u00e4r:  German Open Letter to Scholz: Stop Arms Deliveries, Restore Relations to Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014In an open letter to Chancellor Olaf Scholz, a collection of utilities, housing associations, and other municipal enterprises of southern Saxony (in particular, the Vogtland region) call for a de-escalation of the anti-Russia campaign, an end to sanctions on Russia, and an end to arms deliveries to Ukraine. The restoration of diplomatic relations to Russia has priority, whereas prolonging the war, they warn, will lead to more destruction and misery. Otherwise, the signers both endorse keeping coal and nuclear power and call for increased efforts to develop renewables for power sources<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North German Businessmen Call for Russian Gas and Nord Stream 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014Entrepreneurs in Germany\u2019s northern state of Mecklenburg-Prepomerania called for Russian natural gas delivered via Nord Stream 2, and ridiculed currently planned experiments with LNG terminals. The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014In an open letter to Chancellor Olaf Scholz, a collection of utilities, housing associations, and other municipal enterprises of southern Saxony (in particular, the Vogtland region) call for a de-escalation of the anti-Russia campaign, an end to sanctions on Russia, and an end to arms deliveries to Ukraine.

      North German Businessmen Call for Russian Gas and Nord Stream 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014Entrepreneurs in Germany\u2019s northern state of Mecklenburg-Prepomerania called for Russian natural gas delivered via Nord Stream 2, and ridiculed currently planned experiments with LNG terminals. The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany.

      Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          North German Businessmen Call for Russian Gas and Nord Stream 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014Entrepreneurs in Germany\u2019s northern state of Mecklenburg-Prepomerania called for Russian natural gas delivered via Nord Stream 2, and ridiculed currently planned experiments with LNG terminals. The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany.

          Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons.

            German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            The Hungry Shall Be Fed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Let nations work together to come up with a new world economic framework, of mutual benefit. More farmers and ranchers, and more food!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014In an open letter to Chancellor Olaf Scholz, a collection of utilities, housing associations, and other municipal enterprises of southern Saxony (in particular, the Vogtland region) call for a de-escalation of the anti-Russia campaign, an end to sanctions on Russia, and an end to arms deliveries to Ukraine. The restoration of diplomatic relations to Russia has priority, whereas prolonging the war, they warn, will lead to more destruction and misery.

              North German Businessmen Call for Russian Gas and Nord Stream 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014Entrepreneurs in Germany\u2019s northern state of Mecklenburg-Prepomerania called for Russian natural gas delivered via Nord Stream 2, and ridiculed currently planned experiments with LNG terminals. The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany.

                  Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next.

                  Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The Hungry Shall Be Fed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Let nations work together to come up with a new world economic framework, of mutual benefit. More farmers and ranchers, and more food!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014In an open letter to Chancellor Olaf Scholz, a collection of utilities, housing associations, and other municipal enterprises of southern Saxony (in particular, the Vogtland region) call for a de-escalation of the anti-Russia campaign, an end to sanctions on Russia, and an end to arms deliveries to Ukraine. The restoration of diplomatic relations to Russia has priority, whereas prolonging the war, they warn, will lead to more destruction and misery. Otherwise, the signers both endorse keeping coal and nuclear power and call for increased efforts to develop renewables for power sources<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          North German Businessmen Call for Russian Gas and Nord Stream 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014Entrepreneurs in Germany\u2019s northern state of Mecklenburg-Prepomerania called for Russian natural gas delivered via Nord Stream 2, and ridiculed currently planned experiments with LNG terminals. The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                          Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restoration of diplomatic relations to Russia has priority, whereas prolonging the war, they warn, will lead to more destruction and misery.

                              North German Businessmen Call for Russian Gas and Nord Stream 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                              Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014Entrepreneurs in Germany\u2019s northern state of Mecklenburg-Prepomerania called for Russian natural gas delivered via Nord Stream 2, and ridiculed currently planned experiments with LNG terminals. The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                              Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                              Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                              Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              The Hungry Shall Be Fed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Let nations work together to come up with a new world economic framework, of mutual benefit. More farmers and ranchers, and more food!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production.

                                  Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restoration of diplomatic relations to Russia has priority, whereas prolonging the war, they warn, will lead to more destruction and misery.

The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                      Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production.

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014Entrepreneurs in Germany\u2019s northern state of Mecklenburg-Prepomerania called for Russian natural gas delivered via Nord Stream 2, and ridiculed currently planned experiments with LNG terminals. The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                          Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping.

The restoration of diplomatic relations to Russia has priority, whereas prolonging the war, they warn, will lead to more destruction and misery. Otherwise, the signers both endorse keeping coal and nuclear power and call for increased efforts to develop renewables for power sources<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                              Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                              Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                              Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Let nations work together to come up with a new world economic framework, of mutual benefit. More farmers and ranchers, and more food!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              A gold trader named Ronan Manly wrote, on goldseek.com Aug. 31, an extremely detailed account taken from three Russian news sources, of this plan, its submission to the Russian Finance Ministry by the EAEC of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and the Finance Ministry\u2019s forwarding of the plan to various Russian industrial companies, evidently for responses. https:\/\/goldseek.com\/article\/eurasian-alliance-plans-moscow-world-standard-destroy-lbmas-monopoly-precious-metals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                              Even more so than with energy and food commodities, this plan is one for battle, because the UK and United States Treasuries and monetary authorities are determined to ban Russian miners and refiners from the London Bullion Markets Association (they have already done that) and to ban the sale of Russian-produced gold anywhere in the world. Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restoration of diplomatic relations to Russia has priority, whereas prolonging the war, they warn, will lead to more destruction and misery.

The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  A gold trader named Ronan Manly wrote, on goldseek.com Aug. 31, an extremely detailed account taken from three Russian news sources, of this plan, its submission to the Russian Finance Ministry by the EAEC of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and the Finance Ministry\u2019s forwarding of the plan to various Russian industrial companies, evidently for responses. https:\/\/goldseek.com\/article\/eurasian-alliance-plans-moscow-world-standard-destroy-lbmas-monopoly-precious-metals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                  Even more so than with energy and food commodities, this plan is one for battle, because the UK and United States Treasuries and monetary authorities are determined to ban Russian miners and refiners from the London Bullion Markets Association (they have already done that) and to ban the sale of Russian-produced gold anywhere in the world. Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restoration of diplomatic relations to Russia has priority, whereas prolonging the war, they warn, will lead to more destruction and misery. Otherwise, the signers both endorse keeping coal and nuclear power and call for increased efforts to develop renewables for power sources<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      A Hot Autumn of mass protests is coming in Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Farmers Shift Battle Maneuvers: Aug. 26 Berlin Demo Off, National Rally in Bonn Aug. 31;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Take the Point: Support the German Farmers!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      A gold trader named Ronan Manly wrote, on goldseek.com Aug. 31, an extremely detailed account taken from three Russian news sources, of this plan, its submission to the Russian Finance Ministry by the EAEC of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and the Finance Ministry\u2019s forwarding of the plan to various Russian industrial companies, evidently for responses. https:\/\/goldseek.com\/article\/eurasian-alliance-plans-moscow-world-standard-destroy-lbmas-monopoly-precious-metals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      Even more so than with energy and food commodities, this plan is one for battle, because the UK and United States Treasuries and monetary authorities are determined to ban Russian miners and refiners from the London Bullion Markets Association (they have already done that) and to ban the sale of Russian-produced gold anywhere in the world. Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                      There is reported other, useful action by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation toward stable currency-exchange ratios between the ruble and other major currencies. [pbg]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restoration of diplomatic relations to Russia has priority, whereas prolonging the war, they warn, will lead to more destruction and misery.

The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost. There is no price comparison, no competition that would prevent prices from rising and rising. Especially since there is a much better option.\u201d According to J\u00fcrgens, the completed Nord Stream 2 pipeline should go into operation after all: \u201cOn our board, all the members I\u2019ve asked about this so far have clearly spoken in favor of it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Aug. 17, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The situation in Europe continues very hot among farmers leading protests against the EU and national governments\u2019 orders to curb farming, and cut food production, in the name of greening the environment. The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d The German farmers\u2019 initiative in Berlin this month, is taking the point for action we need worldwide for people to restore sovereignty to their respective nations and put in place policies in the common interest of all peoples, starting with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Sept. 1, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The government of Russia, with consultation and encouragement from bodies of the BRICS and of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), is continuing the work of establishing new, non-speculative, and stable international producer prices for the most important commodities, including gold. As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          A gold trader named Ronan Manly wrote, on goldseek.com Aug. 31, an extremely detailed account taken from three Russian news sources, of this plan, its submission to the Russian Finance Ministry by the EAEC of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and the Finance Ministry\u2019s forwarding of the plan to various Russian industrial companies, evidently for responses. https:\/\/goldseek.com\/article\/eurasian-alliance-plans-moscow-world-standard-destroy-lbmas-monopoly-precious-metals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                          Even more so than with energy and food commodities, this plan is one for battle, because the UK and United States Treasuries and monetary authorities are determined to ban Russian miners and refiners from the London Bullion Markets Association (they have already done that) and to ban the sale of Russian-produced gold anywhere in the world. Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              In addition to resurging farmers protests, unrest among mittelstand and crafts, and other protests against the onrushing inflation, there is also momentum to revitalize the economic protest wave of the 2004 Monday Rallies against government plans for cuts in welfare and unemployment pay. This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement was issued this month by participants in a farm and ranch leaders (virtual) meeting from four countries, as an initiative to crossfire international support.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Aug. 16, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The following statement is circulating internationally to publicize and organize broad support for the farmers\u2019 frontline protests. It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              The sources of today\u2019s attacks on agriculture have also prevented the construction of the large-scale infrastructure projects for water and power that would defend against predictable weather extremes\u2014drought, floods, heatwaves, storms.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Russia Is Moving To Set New International Producer Prices for Commodities, Including Gold<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Sept. 1, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The government of Russia, with consultation and encouragement from bodies of the BRICS and of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), is continuing the work of establishing new, non-speculative, and stable international producer prices for the most important commodities, including gold. As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              A gold trader named Ronan Manly wrote, on goldseek.com Aug. 31, an extremely detailed account taken from three Russian news sources, of this plan, its submission to the Russian Finance Ministry by the EAEC of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and the Finance Ministry\u2019s forwarding of the plan to various Russian industrial companies, evidently for responses. https:\/\/goldseek.com\/article\/eurasian-alliance-plans-moscow-world-standard-destroy-lbmas-monopoly-precious-metals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              Even more so than with energy and food commodities, this plan is one for battle, because the UK and United States Treasuries and monetary authorities are determined to ban Russian miners and refiners from the London Bullion Markets Association (they have already done that) and to ban the sale of Russian-produced gold anywhere in the world. Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                              There is reported other, useful action by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation toward stable currency-exchange ratios between the ruble and other major currencies. [pbg]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The head of the state\u2019s Business Association, Gerd Juergens, declared in an interview with the Nordkurier<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  \u201cWe want to import liquefied gas to Germany by ship and we don\u2019t even know what it will cost.

This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  The Aug. 26 farm demonstration German farmers set for Berlin has been cancelled for that date, and word will be given for what happens there next. German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations.

                                                                  Russia Is Moving To Set New International Producer Prices for Commodities, Including Gold<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  Sept. 1, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The government of Russia, with consultation and encouragement from bodies of the BRICS and of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), is continuing the work of establishing new, non-speculative, and stable international producer prices for the most important commodities, including gold. As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                  A gold trader named Ronan Manly wrote, on goldseek.com Aug. 31, an extremely detailed account taken from three Russian news sources, of this plan, its submission to the Russian Finance Ministry by the EAEC of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and the Finance Ministry\u2019s forwarding of the plan to various Russian industrial companies, evidently for responses. https:\/\/goldseek.com\/article\/eurasian-alliance-plans-moscow-world-standard-destroy-lbmas-monopoly-precious-metals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      Sept. 1, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The government of Russia, with consultation and encouragement from bodies of the BRICS and of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), is continuing the work of establishing new, non-speculative, and stable international producer prices for the most important commodities, including gold. As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                      Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          Sept. 1, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The government of Russia, with consultation and encouragement from bodies of the BRICS and of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), is continuing the work of establishing new, non-speculative, and stable international producer prices for the most important commodities, including gold. As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                          Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle.

It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping.

                                                                              Sept. 1, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The government of Russia, with consultation and encouragement from bodies of the BRICS and of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), is continuing the work of establishing new, non-speculative, and stable international producer prices for the most important commodities, including gold. As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                              Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels.

The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle.

This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer.

One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  Sept. 1, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The government of Russia, with consultation and encouragement from bodies of the BRICS and of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), is continuing the work of establishing new, non-speculative, and stable international producer prices for the most important commodities, including gold. As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                  Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                      In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle.

                                                                                          German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                          A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                          The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                          The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                          Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                          Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons.

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                          In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                          Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              Our support for the German and Dutch farmers is a call to action among our fellow citizens, in whichever country we may be, to restore national sovereignty, and stop the destructive dictates and the trans-national finance and cartel powers behind them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              We need sovereign government action, and collaboration among nations, to expand independent food producers everywhere, and mobilize emergency and long- term measures to vastly increase food production. We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              Food is not a \u201cfarmer\u2019s issue.\u201d We call on people from all walks of life to join with us, in supporting the Berlin Aug. 26 farmers\u2019 demonstration and beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              Support the German Farmers! No Cuts to Farming Anywhere! The Hungry Shall Be Fed!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                              Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle.

This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                  A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                  The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions.

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                  Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                  In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      Sept. 1, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The government of Russia, with consultation and encouragement from bodies of the BRICS and of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), is continuing the work of establishing new, non-speculative, and stable international producer prices for the most important commodities, including gold. As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels.

The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          Take Emergency Action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          For all these reasons, world food output is now falling dangerously. World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          The basic steps to take include: 1) mobilize to maximize inputs for the coming crop seasons in all farmbelts possible; 2) provide the aid needed to maintain and expand livestock; 3) suspend and\/or cancel all green orders to restrict and cut agriculture; 4) override food cartel practices wherever they are detrimental to the national interests involved; unwind and prevent trans-national monopoly farming, and start priority anti-trust action; 5) stop the run-away food speculation on the Chicago, London and other commodity exchanges; 6) take measures to stabilize prices received and paid by the farmer, on the parity principle; 7) take measures to back young families starting up, toward a million new family farms in the United States alone; 8) re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle, to restore sound banking, with no more bail-outs to the mega-banks; 9) direct credit into the overdue infrastructure projects (water, rail, power) on every continent, to support existing and vast new farmbelts; 10) back collaboration on these priorities among major nations\u2014especially including Russia, China, and India\u2014and in the immediate term, work together to deliver emergency food aid to all points of need.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She presented a plan for regulating the TTF future market (sometime in the future) and for refunding utilities facing margin calls (immediately).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          \"We're proposing a temporary measure as part of the emergency instrument: a so-called \"intra-day price spike collar,\" McGuinness said. \"Now what this is about smoothing out is smoothing excessive volatility and price spikes in gas and electricity derivative markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          \"It is a price collar that limits extreme changes in a short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          \"And in that sense, it is not intended to prevent prices from moving upwards or indeed downwards, but rather to ensure that these movements are more incremental than what we observed at some times over the past months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          EU trading venues for energy derivatives will have to put such a tool in place by the end of January, under the control of national and European regulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          \"But in the interim period, we will be asking EU trading venues to set up intraday volatility tools that would broadly achieve the same result.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          \"We know some energy market participants have experienced pressures on liquidity because of higher margin calls linked to rising energy prices. Usually collateral is provided in the form of cash. Today we are adopting a delegated act that expands the list of what these companies can use as collateral. We are doing this on a temporary basis. Energy firms will be allowed to use uncollateralized bank guarantees.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          Finally, the cherry on the cake: Margin requirements for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives will be lowered. In other words, they will combat speculation by making it easier to speculate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          \"The third measure is also related to energy derivatives markets. And this is an amendment to another delegated act for energy firms using OTCs\u2014over the counter\u2014derivatives. We are raising the clearing threshold from \u20ac3 billion today to \u20ac4 billion. And below this \u20ac4 billion threshold, firms using over-the-counter derivatives will not have to provide margins for the bilateral trades. And again, this is in line with ESMA's recommendations, reflecting the sharp price rises in energy derivatives.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          Sept. 1, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The government of Russia, with consultation and encouragement from bodies of the BRICS and of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), is continuing the work of establishing new, non-speculative, and stable international producer prices for the most important commodities, including gold. As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                          Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle.

This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                              The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                              Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She presented a plan for regulating the TTF future market (sometime in the future) and for refunding utilities facing margin calls (immediately).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                              \"We're proposing a temporary measure as part of the emergency instrument: a so-called \"intra-day price spike collar,\" McGuinness said. \"Now what this is about smoothing out is smoothing excessive volatility and price spikes in gas and electricity derivative markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                              \"It is a price collar that limits extreme changes in a short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually collateral is provided in the form of cash. Today we are adopting a delegated act that expands the list of what these companies can use as collateral. We are doing this on a temporary basis. Energy firms will be allowed to use uncollateralized bank guarantees.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, they will combat speculation by making it easier to speculate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                              \"The third measure is also related to energy derivatives markets.

We are raising the clearing threshold from \u20ac3 billion today to \u20ac4 billion. And below this \u20ac4 billion threshold, firms using over-the-counter derivatives will not have to provide margins for the bilateral trades.

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                              In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will start coming Monday, in many cities of Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                  Anticipating broad protests, the government, perfectly aware of what its own policies provoke, is trying to criminalize the protests beforehand.The  Irony is that whereas the establishment usually never mentions the original Monday Rallies of 1989, they do so now, in order to declare these were justified against the East German dictatorship, while such protest was not justified against the \u201edemocratic system\u201c of present Germany. The government and related security officials warn of \u201eextremists trying to hijack the protests\u201c, from the left to the right of German politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that farmers are doing this in the peak season for summer crops, calving, haymaking, and other functions, shows how extreme the crisis is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

German farmers plan a national demonstration on Aug. 31, in Bonn, following a big action Aug. 15 in Bonn, at which time they announced \u201cthey will be back.\u201d The Aug. 15 action began with a 400-tractor convoy into the city at dawn, which surrounded the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, which is still based in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                  Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                  The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                  German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                  A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                  The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                  The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                  Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                  Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping.

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      We stand together with the German farmers in their plans for a national demonstration in Berlin Aug. 26. (OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      Dutch farmers face mandates to cut livestock by as much as 30%. The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      The originators of these deadly mandates operate through an international constellation of globally powerful, private banks, NGOs, transnational corporations, and captive government offices. They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      We must expand, not cut, food production. We have a world food shortage emergency. Over 800 million people go hungry, and millions of them are headed to death by starvation. These numbers could double in a year. The world grains harvest is going down.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle. Build infrastructure (water, power, public health, transport) to protect from drought, floods, and all disasters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears in the EIR weekly (Aug. 19, 2022) by Robert L. Baker.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      German farmers will launch a demonstration in Berlin, August 26, continuing it as a \u201c365\u201d non-stop action, until the goal is met to end the policies now ruining farming, and cutting food production. This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      A constellation of international financial, environmentalist and corporate interests have set in motion a worldwide policy to reduce food production and eliminate family farming. The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                      In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle.

Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                          Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping.

This fueled demand for the futures securities that had been sold short earlier, driving the price up further. The episode provoked heavy protests from different categories of operators, from network operators to some big players such as Shell, without the European Commission or other authorities intervening in any way or investigating the dynamics that produced the price distortion. On the other hand, in the current phase characterized by a war economy, there are those in the market who are undoubtedly gaining (a lot) from the enormous volatility of the TTF: in addition to the usual known [energy traders and major companies, such as ENI or BP], also countries such as Norway as in the past days, ICIS, the most important information and analysis site on commodities, highlighted that the Nordic country has become the first supplier in Europe, with 25% of the market, followed by U.S. liquefied gas and in third position, by Russian gas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would force all long positions to close, regardless of the losses incurred by traders; and withdraw the licenses of non-commercial traders. This would deflate the artificial demand for energy, bringing it more in phase with real demand, and automatically reduce the price.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                          Sept. 1, 2022 (EIRNS)\u2014The government of Russia, with consultation and encouragement from bodies of the BRICS and of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), is continuing the work of establishing new, non-speculative, and stable international producer prices for the most important commodities, including gold. As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                          In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                          Now it is reported that, since early July, Russian and EAEU senior officials have been discussing a new international precious metals exchange where the price of gold could be fixed. This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                              The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                              The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                              Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By all observers\u2019 own admission, the Amsterdam market is highly volatile, that is, extremely sensitive to price fluctuations, and scarcely liquid. Suffice it to consider that altogether the forward contracts that are traded can be worth about 250 million MW-hours per month, i.e., only the average value of real consumption in the entire EU, while normally a forward hedging system is a few multiples of the underlying product (e.g., oil).\u201d (In other words, very few players are involved.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fueled demand for the futures securities that had been sold short earlier, driving the price up further. The episode provoked heavy protests from different categories of operators, from network operators to some big players such as Shell, without the European Commission or other authorities intervening in any way or investigating the dynamics that produced the price distortion. On the other hand, in the current phase characterized by a war economy, there are those in the market who are undoubtedly gaining (a lot) from the enormous volatility of the TTF: in addition to the usual known [energy traders and major companies, such as ENI or BP], also countries such as Norway as in the past days, ICIS, the most important information and analysis site on commodities, highlighted that the Nordic country has become the first supplier in Europe, with 25% of the market, followed by U.S. liquefied gas and in third position, by Russian gas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would force all long positions to close, regardless of the losses incurred by traders; and withdraw the licenses of non-commercial traders. This would deflate the artificial demand for energy, bringing it more in phase with real demand, and automatically reduce the price.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                              In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle.

This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures.

The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                  The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                  The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                  Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                  Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                  Di Stefano wrote: \u201cThe TTF is a legalized gambling den where a very few operators ... determine the fate of millions of companies and hundreds of millions of European citizens. By all observers\u2019 own admission, the Amsterdam market is highly volatile, that is, extremely sensitive to price fluctuations, and scarcely liquid. Suffice it to consider that altogether the forward contracts that are traded can be worth about 250 million MW-hours per month, i.e., only the average value of real consumption in the entire EU, while normally a forward hedging system is a few multiples of the underlying product (e.g., oil).\u201d (In other words, very few players are involved.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                  \u201cThe first speculative jump in prices occurred after the end of the pandemic, precisely as a result of the bearish positions of large traders (Trafigura, Gunvor and Glencore, first and foremost): when the recovery became clear, prices moved upward and, therefore, they were forced to close deals by buying back gas contracts. This fueled demand for the futures securities that had been sold short earlier, driving the price up further. The episode provoked heavy protests from different categories of operators, from network operators to some big players such as Shell, without the European Commission or other authorities intervening in any way or investigating the dynamics that produced the price distortion. On the other hand, in the current phase characterized by a war economy, there are those in the market who are undoubtedly gaining (a lot) from the enormous volatility of the TTF: in addition to the usual known [energy traders and major companies, such as ENI or BP], also countries such as Norway as in the past days, ICIS, the most important information and analysis site on commodities, highlighted that the Nordic country has become the first supplier in Europe, with 25% of the market, followed by U.S. liquefied gas and in third position, by Russian gas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would force all long positions to close, regardless of the losses incurred by traders; and withdraw the licenses of non-commercial traders. This would deflate the artificial demand for energy, bringing it more in phase with real demand, and automatically reduce the price.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They must be stopped. They know full well their directives mean depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle.

This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                      The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                      Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAS 27\/22). European governments have kept a mafia-like omert\u00e0 on the issue, only addressing secondary aspects of it, when discussing energy costs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                      Di Stefano wrote: \u201cThe TTF is a legalized gambling den where a very few operators ... determine the fate of millions of companies and hundreds of millions of European citizens. By all observers\u2019 own admission, the Amsterdam market is highly volatile, that is, extremely sensitive to price fluctuations, and scarcely liquid. Suffice it to consider that altogether the forward contracts that are traded can be worth about 250 million MW-hours per month, i.e., only the average value of real consumption in the entire EU, while normally a forward hedging system is a few multiples of the underlying product (e.g., oil).\u201d (In other words, very few players are involved.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fueled demand for the futures securities that had been sold short earlier, driving the price up further. The episode provoked heavy protests from different categories of operators, from network operators to some big players such as Shell, without the European Commission or other authorities intervening in any way or investigating the dynamics that produced the price distortion. On the other hand, in the current phase characterized by a war economy, there are those in the market who are undoubtedly gaining (a lot) from the enormous volatility of the TTF: in addition to the usual known [energy traders and major companies, such as ENI or BP], also countries such as Norway as in the past days, ICIS, the most important information and analysis site on commodities, highlighted that the Nordic country has become the first supplier in Europe, with 25% of the market, followed by U.S. liquefied gas and in third position, by Russian gas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would force all long positions to close, regardless of the losses incurred by traders; and withdraw the licenses of non-commercial traders. This would deflate the artificial demand for energy, bringing it more in phase with real demand, and automatically reduce the price.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manly quotes both Sergei Glazyev of the EAEC and Russian National Security Council advisor Sergei Silvestrov on the intention to create a price standard of what Silvestrov calls [trade] \u201csettlement gold\u201d\u2014involving a basket of commodities as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle.

This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                          The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions.

                                                                                                                                          Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                          Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping.

By all observers\u2019 own admission, the Amsterdam market is highly volatile, that is, extremely sensitive to price fluctuations, and scarcely liquid. Suffice it to consider that altogether the forward contracts that are traded can be worth about 250 million MW-hours per month, i.e., only the average value of real consumption in the entire EU, while normally a forward hedging system is a few multiples of the underlying product (e.g., oil).\u201d (In other words, very few players are involved.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fueled demand for the futures securities that had been sold short earlier, driving the price up further. The episode provoked heavy protests from different categories of operators, from network operators to some big players such as Shell, without the European Commission or other authorities intervening in any way or investigating the dynamics that produced the price distortion. On the other hand, in the current phase characterized by a war economy, there are those in the market who are undoubtedly gaining (a lot) from the enormous volatility of the TTF: in addition to the usual known [energy traders and major companies, such as ENI or BP], also countries such as Norway as in the past days, ICIS, the most important information and analysis site on commodities, highlighted that the Nordic country has become the first supplier in Europe, with 25% of the market, followed by U.S. liquefied gas and in third position, by Russian gas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would force all long positions to close, regardless of the losses incurred by traders; and withdraw the licenses of non-commercial traders. This would deflate the artificial demand for energy, bringing it more in phase with real demand, and automatically reduce the price.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restoration of diplomatic relations to Russia has priority, whereas prolonging the war, they warn, will lead to more destruction and misery.

(OBS! This demo has been rescheduled to another date.)  They are on the front lines, alongside the Dutch and Flemish farmers, in protesting to stop the dictates that will shut down farms, and cause mass food shortages, ordered by their governments, and by the European Union in Brussels. The Berlin protest is designed as a \u201c365\u201d day action, to continue until the destructive policies are stopped.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself. Similar mandates are coming down in the Americas, and other targeted agriculture regions. The year 2030, and earlier are the deadlines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need mutual-interest trade and foreign relations, and cancellation of economic sanctions. Use anti-trust to bust up the monopolies. Re-regulate banking on the Glass-Steagall principle.

This backs the protest initiatives of the Dutch farmers, and others taking actions in Italy, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Chile, Canada, and elsewhere, including the U.S. cattlemen, fighting in the courts and legislatures. India\u2019s farmers have led the way. The particulars differ from place to place, but it\u2019s the same battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                              Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons.

SAS 27\/22). European governments have kept a mafia-like omert\u00e0 on the issue, only addressing secondary aspects of it, when discussing energy costs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                              Di Stefano wrote: \u201cThe TTF is a legalized gambling den where a very few operators ... determine the fate of millions of companies and hundreds of millions of European citizens. By all observers\u2019 own admission, the Amsterdam market is highly volatile, that is, extremely sensitive to price fluctuations, and scarcely liquid. Suffice it to consider that altogether the forward contracts that are traded can be worth about 250 million MW-hours per month, i.e., only the average value of real consumption in the entire EU, while normally a forward hedging system is a few multiples of the underlying product (e.g., oil).\u201d (In other words, very few players are involved.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fueled demand for the futures securities that had been sold short earlier, driving the price up further. The episode provoked heavy protests from different categories of operators, from network operators to some big players such as Shell, without the European Commission or other authorities intervening in any way or investigating the dynamics that produced the price distortion. On the other hand, in the current phase characterized by a war economy, there are those in the market who are undoubtedly gaining (a lot) from the enormous volatility of the TTF: in addition to the usual known [energy traders and major companies, such as ENI or BP], also countries such as Norway as in the past days, ICIS, the most important information and analysis site on commodities, highlighted that the Nordic country has become the first supplier in Europe, with 25% of the market, followed by U.S. liquefied gas and in third position, by Russian gas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would force all long positions to close, regardless of the losses incurred by traders; and withdraw the licenses of non-commercial traders. This would deflate the artificial demand for energy, bringing it more in phase with real demand, and automatically reduce the price.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As productive companies in Europe are being forced to reduce activity or shut down by the NATO central banks\u2019 wild and hyperinflationary monetary policies, and by sanctions that were intended to shut down Russian production, stable commodity prices and currency exchange rates are essential goals for a new international monetary and credit system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                              In July the Central Bank of the Russian Federation published two new commodity standards. The first was an international wheat standard, defined as the price (in rubles as a basis) of a metric ton of wheat delivered to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossysk for export shipment. The second standard was a metric ton of coal under the same conditions. Russian ministries simultaneously set export tax levels lower per metric ton, and payable in rubles. Since early July the international price of wheat in dollars has been relatively stable between $8 and $9\/bushel; with the ruble appreciating by about 6% against the dollar during that time, the wheat price in rubles has been relatively more stable, varying within a range of 5%. But these new international commodity prices in rubles are thus far aspirational, steps toward stable, long-term producer prices for the most important commodities\u2014in which the BRICS nations, and the EAEU nations, are dominant producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would be essential to any new credit and monetary system in which one of the BRICS national currencies\u2014or, in Russian President Putin\u2019s reported idea, a new international trade settlement currency\u2014would have a fixed value relative to gold or a \u201ccommodity basket\u201d including gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excuse for this is to reduce emissions and run-off of nitrous oxide and ammonia. German farmers face mandates to drastically cut use of fertilizer, pesticides and cropland itself.

The farmers and ranchers are defending food production to save humanity. That\u2019s why people in all walks of life must wake up and support them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                                  The world is in a food emergency of Biblical proportions. Over 800 million people are hungry, and millions of those are heading to starvation. Within a year, these numbers could double.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                                  The knowhow exists to end this crisis. We must expand the number of family farms, not shut them down. But farmers and ranchers are under attack.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                                  Attacks on Farming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                                  Drastic cuts to agriculture inputs and practices are underway under the excuse of preventing global warming. Within the framework of the Green Deal, in May 2020, the European Union launched the \u201cFarm-to-Fork Strategy\u201d ordering a 20% cut in fertilizer use, a 10% cut in land used in agriculture, a 50% cut in crop protection chemicals and microbials for livestock, etc. This will ruin farmers and cut food for millions. But compliance is ordered by 2030, with earlier deadlines set. The governments in the Netherlands, Germany, and some others among the 27 EU nations have dictated even more severe cuts. Dutch farmers are being told to get rid of 30% of their cattle, to prevent nitrogenous and carbon run-off and emissions. In the Americas, Ottawa has ordered Canadian farmers to cut fertilizer. In the U.S., 30% of land and water is to be locked out of agriculture use by 2030.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                                  Global cartels continue to dominate markets and pricing within nations, and enforce trade patterns between nations, to the detriment of all farmers and populations involved. One nation is forced to be an \u201cexport source\u201d region. Another nation is forced to be import dependent. The cartel tyranny works through the transnational agro-inputs suppliers, to the processors, shippers, and food retailers. These globalist interests\u2014the commodities wing of Wall Street and the City of London\u2014are interlocked entirely with the mega-banks pushing \u201cGreen Finance,\u201d and with the network of the World Wildlife Fund and related circles using \u201cconcern for nature\u201d to shut down production and cause human depopulation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                                                                  Hyperinflation and shortages of agriculture inputs are at the point of breakdown. The out-of-control prices of fuels, fertilizer, electricity, chemicals, and other farming inputs, along with worsening scarcity of supply, and collapse of logistics, guarantees famine. But neither remedies nor multi-national collaboration for solutions are yet coming from the government\/financial centers of the trans-Atlantic and Group of Seven (G7) nations. Instead, they are imposing economic sanctions, continuing with mega-bank bail-outs, hiking interest rates, and refusing to cooperate with other nations and groupings seeking to expand food output, e.g., the African Union, or the BRICS\u2014Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World \u201ctotal grains\u201d\u2014the staff of life (wheat, rice, corn\/maize, and others) is going down by millions of tons. Instead of a world harvest of over 4 billion tons of grain, we now produce less than 3 billion tons a year, and it is dropping. For 8 billion people, we need to double world food production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
