AIDS is spread by food? BTW Try cooking meat.

All of these diseases entered the human population because of people eating mammals. There will be more.

“According to the World Health Organization, HIV cannot be transmitted by water or food.”

Protests from farmers are starting to spread to other countries. Increases in fuel and fertilizer prices are affecting farmers throughout Europe.

At the same time as the farmers are protesting, energy and food shortages are worsening and are likely to cause major disruptions in Europe. German labor unions are concerned that natural gas shortages will cause the collapse of whole industries.

About HIV/AIDS | HIV Basics | HIV/AIDS | CDC.

The chimpanzee version of the virus is called simian immunodeficiency virus. It was probably passed to humans when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came in contact with their infected blood.

People don’t pay much attention to elite meetings or panels where all these things are worked out. When oil and food prices double or become scarce, people begin to notice.
I’m thinking some people made some serious miscalculations in their plans.

God, I really hoped with Brexit I wouldn’t have to hear any more EU banana inspector stories.

A basic problem is when the people in charge cling to failed narratives rather than admit their mistakes and change their policies.

Printing massive amounts of money, environmental policies to reduce use of fossil fuels and fertilizer, and self-inflicted sanctions on energy and food products are creating a perfect storm of shortages and inflation in western countries. Instead of changing directions, the ruling elites seem to be doubling down on the same self-destructive policies.

It will be interesting to see what the government does.

Will they back off of the unpopular policies?

Or will they go full-Canadian and start confiscating farms, farm equipment, and bank accounts?

If they’re gonna block food DCs, there’s no need to do anything. Just wait for the public to turn on them.

Unless they turn the public on the Antoinettes

Putting strangers on an involuntary hunger strike won’t work in their favor. If they’re successful in disrupting the food supply, the public will beg the government to kill them.

35

It will if they can make their case and shift the blame

Brandon is trying it now with the gas pumps. It’s not working, mostly because he’s a dumb ass.

36

Can’t shift the blame if they’re stopping other people from working by blocking facilities. There’s a clear cause to the disrupted food supply and it’s a visble blockade at the gate.

37

We’ll see.

Russian farmers were greedy capitalists too…

It looks like the farmers’ protests are finally getting some attention from the US media.

It will be interesting to see if the Biden State Department respond to farmers’ protests in Europe in the same way they did with similar protests in India last year:

Or will Washington demand a crackdown like they did with the truckers in Canada:

They will go the fascist route most likely.
