Force majeure becoming the norm in commodities and derivatives markets, which means higher prices and more social unrest

2 months ago -

Reuters picked up the story and reported that a union strike at Newmont's Peñasquito mine in Mexico is limiting delivery on some of the mine's products – except that report failed to mention silver as one of the metals that Newmont is failing to deliver to customers.

The report mentioned zinc, lead, and gold, but conveniently left out the silver portion, presumably to avoid spooking the silver or silver derivatives market. Now why would they do that if not to deceive the ...

MEGADROUGHT: U.S. corn yields at DISMAL levels compared to 2008

January 17, 2023 -

Many corn fields in these states are now abandoned due to parched crops that failed to produce as expected. Just 79.2 million acres were harvested last year – a 1.6-million-acre decline, and the smallest overall harvest in terms of acres since 2008.

As a result, grain supplies are substantially lower than expected. And there is more to come for wheat and other crops that are similarly dry as a bone and in desperate need of rain.

Globally speaking, food prices ...

This nuclear bomb ready to drop on America and the world’s economy cannot be solved: Why the derivatives time bomb is a financial weapon of mass destruction the FED cannot fix

March 27, 2023 -

(Article by Alan Barton republished from AllNewsPipeLine.com)Wikipedia says the game of Craps is “a dice game in which players bet on the outcomes of the roll of a pair of dice. Players can wager money against each other (playing "street craps") or against a bank ("casino craps").”  As I read through the rules and gaming strategies on that game, I see no difference between playing derivatives markets and shooting craps.  Well, perhaps the amounts of money as I suppose ...

National security threat: Grand Forks City Council blocks Chinese-owned corn mill near air base

February 13, 2023 -

In a 5-0 vote, the Grand Forks City Council (GFCC) rejected on Feb. 6 the Fufeng Group's proposal to open a corn mill within the vicinity of the Grand Forks Air Force Base (AFB). Fufeng, which is based in China's eastern Shandong Province, purchased 370 acres of land in Grand Forks for $2.6 million in 2022.

Brazil sends first-ever corn shipment to China – is U.S. losing its commodity trade dominance?

January 05, 2023 -

Never before has Brazilian corn been purchased by China, despite being the world's second-largest corn exporter. The U.S. is still the global leader in corn exports, but some speculate that this might not be the case in the coming years as expanding Asian economies increasingly rely on South America for food commodities.

The Star Isis, as the bulk carrier from Brazil is called, just delivered 68,000 metric tons of grain for Chinese trader Cofco Corp. China's decision ...

U.S. to wage economic WAR on Mexico for refusing to grow, import any more GMO corn

a month ago -

Following two-and-a-half months of failed negotiations, U.S. overlords are calling for the creation of a dispute settlement panel under a North American trade deal to try to strongarm Mexico into accepting the toxic corn.

In case you missed it, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) decreed back in 2020 that all GMO corn, as well as glyphosate (Roundup) herbicide, is to be completely phased out of his country by January 2024.

Mexico poised to ban imports of toxic GMO corn; U.S. farmers who grow it are panicking

February 02, 2023 -

Since most U.S. corn is genetically engineered, the American farmers who grow it will no longer have Mexico as a customer – which could decimate their businesses, in some cases.

Describing the situation as "the most catastrophic thing to happen to corn farmers," Fox Business ran a segment on the move, which could force American corn farmers to switch to non-GMO or organic corn crops instead – which would be good for everyone.

Up until now, Mexico was the largest ...

Creepy Bill Gates featured in GMO corn video pushing Africans to grow and eat his lab-concocted, pest-killing cobs of Frankencorn

October 03, 2022 -

In his ultimate nerd way, Bill tries to seem hip and cool in his latest genetically mutated corn video, where he lip-syncs to a cartoon-like voice about corn and corn juice. Gates owns more US farm land than anyone, about a quarter-million acres (that's larger than New York City) spanning 18 states, so he wants to grow only his corn, and no other kind ever again.Remember, GM corn proven unsafe for human consumption in chronic toxicity study from 2012

Extreme weather such as the harsh winter in Uzbekistan and the prolonged drought in Argentina, coupled with the Russia-Ukraine war, forced many countries to ban exports of staple vegetables, fruits, grains and commodities.

The Non-Bailout BAILOUT commences – total system collapse temporarily averted with emergency liquidity flood

March 13, 2023 -

The entire US banking system would have collapsed starting today if not for the FDIC jumping in and offering to rescue even non-insured depositors at SVB. Normally the FDIC covers only $250K in deposits per person or institution. To try to avert a total systemic collapse, they announced in an emergency session yesterday that they would cover all deposits for these banks.

The problem is that the FDIC only had slightly over $100 billion in funds to carry this out.

March 29, 2023 -

Dr. Stephen Leeb, one of the world's top money managers, says that JPMorgan's gold derivate short positions are so numerous and large that they likely exceed the entirety of the bank's assets on hand – which is a very dangerous position in which to be.

"What I lose sleep over is how much exposure does a bank like JPMorgan have to the [gold] derivative market," Leeb is quoted as saying, adding that it is an "open secret" in the gold market that JPMorgan is heavy in gold ...

January 27, 2023 -
