Chlormequat crop chemical is hormonally castrating males and denaturing females, subtly depopulating the Earth

2 months ago -

Worse yet, human urine samples from 2017 to 2023 suggest that chlormequat is increasing in the food supply, and showing up at higher concentrations in the population. The population is unknowingly being inundated with a toxin that essentially denatures the female and hormonally castrates the male.Chlormequat exposures are increasing in the U.S. population

Due to the chemical’s pervasiveness in the food supply, as documented in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental ...

Tulsi Gabbard calls on Congress to BAN atrazine and other dangerous crop chemicals linked to chemical castration of children

July 13, 2023 -

Atrazine is dangerous in that it alters a person's hormone profile. Studies show that frogs and other animals exposed to atrazine often turn into the opposite sex, i.e., male frogs become female, and vice versa. Many now speculate that perhaps the transgender craze is due in part to widespread atrazine exposure.

"Congress must ban atrazine, one of the most widely used and toxic herbicides, to stop further contamination of our food & water supply," Gabbard wrote in a tweet....

Appearing on a recent episode of the Health Ranger Report, DuByne unpacked what took place on April 10 and how it is impacting food production all around the world.

"We're starting to see sulfur dioxide spinning around the Northern Hemisphere, around 60 degrees north latitude, but it's being caught up in the polar easterlies causing spinning and cavitation in the atmosphere," DuByne explained.

"And that is going to wind its way all around the Arctic Circle, and the ...

Biden regime to spend $1.2B on terraforming operation that will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to kill plants and devastate food crop yields worldwide

August 14, 2023 -

Literally comprised of "huge vacuum cleaners sucking carbon dioxide out of the air," to quote CNN, the Biden regime's carbon capture agenda involves blasting "chemicals" into the air in order to remove natural greenhouse gases.

"Once removed, CO2 gets stored underground, or is used in industrial materials like cement," the fake news media outlet further explained.

Cocoa prices rise to highest level in 45 years as poor weather diminishes outlook for harvests

November 14, 2023 -

Global cocoa supplies are tightening amid concerns that current cocoa production levels might not be enough to replenish global stocks to avoid a deficit that underpins lower prices.

In a recent report, the government of the Ivory Coast – the world's largest cocoa producer – reported that, from Oct. 1 to Nov. 5, Ivorian farmers were only able to ship 288,686 metric tons (318,222 tons) of cocoa to the country's ports. This is a decrease of a whopping 17.3 percent compared ...

U.S. farmers abandoning failed wheat crops at fastest rate since World War I

May 17, 2023 -

If these expectations are met, then this will mean the lowest harvest ratio since 1917 at the height of World War I, the agency warned in its latest monthly food report.

America's Great Plains have been so dry for so many years now that crops simply are not getting enough moisture to thrive. Some fields are in such poor shape that the wheat crops they contain likely will not produce any heads, leaving no reason to harvest them.

Fortunately for farmers, they can still ...

Western nations deploy ships to protect underwater infrastructure following Balticconnector pipeline incident

No olive branch of peace as Israeli soldiers DESTROY Gaza’s olive harvest, farmers say

November 12, 2023 -

The current olive harvest in Gaza was already expected even before the October 7 Hamas attack to be "sheltoni," meaning small and not plentiful – this is because last year's olive harvest in Gaza was abundant, so the year following is typically a lot smaller – but because of Israel, this year's olive harvest in Gaza will be nothing short of a disaster.

"For olive trees, it is usual to experience one year with an abundant crop and the following year with a smaller one," ...
