CDC Withholding Data on COVID-19 Vaccines Because “They might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective” and “The figures would be misrepresented by anti-vaccine groups”

Yesterday we reported how the Epoch Times obtained emails that showed the FDA and NIH have been secretly studying neurological problems that have appeared in people after they took a COVID-19 vaccine. But the Epoch Times was not the only news organization to report that data from COVID-19 vaccine injuries has been concealed from the public by Government health agencies. The New York Times also reported yesterday that the CDC is not publishing large portions of the Covid data it collects. "For more than a year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has collected data on hospitalizations for Covid-19 in the United States and broken it down by age, race and vaccination status. But it has not made most of the information public. Two full years into the pandemic, the agency leading the country’s response to the public health emergency has published only a tiny fraction of the data it has collected, several people familiar with the data said." (Source: NYT) And what is the reason why they have not published all this data according to the New York Times? "Kristen Nordlund, a spokeswoman for the C.D.C., said the agency has been slow to release the different streams of data because basically, at the end of the day, it’s not yet ready for prime time. She said the agency’s priority when gathering any data is to ensure that it’s accurate and actionable. Another reason is fear that the information might be misinterpreted, Ms. Nordlund said." So there you have it. This information alone is enough to charge and convict all the heads of the U.S. health agencies, including the FDA, NIH, and the entire department of Health and Human Services with criminal intent to commit fraud resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, and millions injured by the illegally rushed-to-market COVID-19 shots under President Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed, and the mass distribution and concealment of the data showing how ineffective and deadly these shots are under the Biden administration. So why is the information only now being leaked to news media like Epoch Times and the New York Times? That's the big question, and whatever the answer is, it surely is nothing good. Are they ready to crash the economy and move to the next "crisis" to hide their criminal activities?

68,000% Increase in Strokes as FDA and NIH Secretly Study Reports of Neurological Injuries After COVID-19 Vaccines

The Epoch Times published an explosive report today stating that they have received emails that allegedly show that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) have been quietly studying neurological problems that have appeared in people after they took a COVID-19 vaccine. An examination of the FDA and CDC's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) confirms that deaths and injuries due to neurological issues following COVID-19 injections have skyrocketed, when compared to the same adverse events reported following all FDA-approved vaccines for the previous 30 years. And while none of the U.S. Health Agencies have published or made public their research on these post-vaccine neurological injuries, many medical journals have. The COVID-19 experimental vaccines, which were given emergency use authorization illegally, should have been immediately pulled from the market at least a year ago. Will these criminals in the pharmaceutical industry who pay billions of dollars to get their products approved by the FDA ever face justice for the mass murder they have caused?

40,000 Deaths Following COVID Shots in European Database as Life Insurance Death Claims Skyrocket

The European (EEA and non-EEA countries) database of suspected drug reaction reports is EudraVigilance, verified by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and they are now reporting 39,997 fatalities, and 3,666,011 injuries following injections of four experimental COVID-19 shots. From the total of injuries recorded, almost half of them (1,727,226) are serious injuries. Edward Dowd is a former Portfolio Manager for Blackrock where he managed a 14 billion dollar portfolio. He was recently interviewed by Kristi Leigh and in this interview he discusses the surge of death payouts recorded in the Life Insurance industry in the 4th quarter of 2021. While Life Insurance companies suffered in 2021, the year the COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out, funeral businesses saw a surge in sales.

After Trudeau Freezes Protesters’ Bank Accounts a Run on Canadian Banks Shuts Down Services

Banks in Canada started freezing accounts of those who allegedly were supporting the Trucker Freedom Convoy protests yesterday. As news of bank accounts being frozen spread, several major Canadian banks went offline in what appeared to be a bank run. Trudeau faced his critics in Ottawa earlier today at the House of Commons, and reportedly stated: "We understand that Canadians are frustrated with [COVID-19]. Some protesters came to Ottawa to express their frustrations and fatigue with public health measures. That's their right. It's a right that we'll defend in this free and democratic country. But the illegal blockades and occupations are not peaceful protests. They have to stop." According to Trudeau's Justice Minister, apparently those "illegal blockades and occupations" include being a Trump supporter, which can result in your bank account being frozen. Protesters apparently are not backing down, and Dr. Byram Bridle reportedly called on all Canadians to now head to Ottawa to join the protests.

Obama FDA Head that Allowed Opioid Crisis to Increase Confirmed to Lead the FDA Again as COVID Shots Set to Join Annual Flu Shots in Windfall for Big Pharma

Apparently Robert Califf did such a good job of helping Big Pharma shield themselves from any liabilities due to the opioid crisis that destroyed the lives of so many Americans while he was head of the FDA under President Obama, that he is being brought back to lead the FDA again to help Big Pharma continue growing in record profits and sales as they get ready to expand the market for the COVID-19 gene-altering shots by having Americans get vaccinated every year, along with the already profitable flu shots. While he was approved to lead the FDA by the Senate in an overwhelming vote of support with an 89-4 Senate vote on his confirmation in 2016, this time around he barely survived the confirmation vote which was 50-46, facing bi-partisan opposition to his confirmation. Yesterday, Project Veritas released a video recording with "FDA Executive Officer, Christopher Cole" who was caught on camera admitting that the FDA was planning making the COVID shots an annual requirement, in a financial windfall for the Pfizer and other COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers. He also confirmed that the FDA works for the pharmaceutical companies who pay the FDA "hundreds of millions of dollars a year to hire and keep the reviewers to approve their products."

Pedophile Prince Andrews Buys his way Out of Justice – Settles Sex Abuse Case before Trial

It was the bombshell lawsuit that wasn’t. Six months and six days after Virginia Giuffre filed suit against British royal Prince Andrew, alleging that he had sexually assaulted her while she was a minor, the lawsuit has been settled out of court, for an undisclosed sum. Andrew will make a “substantial donation” to Giuffre’s victims’ rights charity and appears to admit no wrongdoing. He does express regret for his association with former pal Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier in whose homes Giuffre alleged she had been sexually abused. No mention of Epstein’s former girlfriend and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, whose London home was the site of one of the alleged incidents of abuse. The lawsuit’s speedy conclusion leaves more questions than it answers. Andrew had consistently denied Giuffre’s accusations, most notably in a disastrous BBC interview in which he claimed, among other things, that a medical condition rendered him unable to sweat. Giuffre had intended to force Andrew to turn over evidence supporting his medical condition, but, alas, it will remain a mystery. And what of the provenance of the famous photograph featuring Giuffre, Maxwell and Andrew? The British prince said he had no recollection of the photo and left open the possibility that the photograph was a fake. No resolution on that question, either.

Former FDA Commissioner and Current Pfizer Board Member Scott Gottlieb Admits Not Enough Children Under 5 Have COVID to Test Vaccine

Scott Gottlieb is the poster boy for everything that is wrong with America today. He was the top dog at the FDA being appointed as its Commissioner from May 11, 2017 to April 5, 2019 before joining the Board of Directors of Pfizer. This morning CNBC interviewed him to explain why the FDA decided to delay approving Pfizer's COVID-19 shots for children between the ages of 6 months and 4 years old. Gottlieb was NOT interviewed as a guest, but as a "CNBC contributor," which means he also works for the corporate media. When you look at the government statistics regarding the COVID-19 "vaccines" which clearly show that these products are maiming and killing millions of people, and yet the corporate media never publishes these statistics that the government has, and the government health agencies never take action to stop these crimes, you can look to Americans like Scott Gottlieb to understand why nothing ever happens to bring these criminals to justice. While in past years it was Big Oil that fueled the Wall Street Billionaires and Central Banks which allowed them to totally control all aspects of America life, today it is clearly Big Pharma. Big Pharma, especially since COVID and President Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed that robbed what was remaining of America's wealth and handed it over to his buddies on Wall Street, now controls all aspects of American life, including the corporate media, the government health agencies, the politicians at the national level, and the U.S. Military along with their various intelligence agencies. So what did the Big Pharma mouthpiece Scott Gottlieb say this morning to explain the FDA's delay in approving his company's COVID-19 vaccines for young children? He said there were not enough children that young who were sick with COVID-19 to be able to complete the studies. The woman at CNBC interviewing Gottlieb stated that she had talked to people over the weekend that questioned whether or not children that young actually needed the vaccine, but Gottlieb assured her, and Pfizer's investors, that the 400 alleged deaths from COVID over the past 2 years in this age group, and the difficulty they were having in finding children that young infected with COVID-19, was not going to stop them from rolling out this shot for babies and toddlers.

3,573 Fetal Deaths in VAERS Following COVID-19 Vaccines – 1,867% Increase Over Non-COVID Vaccines

The most recent update of the U.S. Government's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) database shows that there have now been 3,573 fetal deaths following COVID-19 vaccines. Using the exact same search parameters for all FDA-approved vaccines for the previous 30+ years before the COVID-19 vaccines were given emergency use authorization in December of 2020, we find 2,519 fetal deaths, the vast majority of which followed vaccines produced by Merck. Here are the yearly averages: 82 fetal deaths per year following non-COVID vaccines - 3063 fetal deaths per year following COVID-19 vaccines. To get a more accurate percentage of how many more fetal deaths are following the COVID-19 vaccines than all other FDA approved vaccines, we have to also factor in the number of doses administered. The U.S. Government's Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) complies data on the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, and a report that they published on 12/01/2021 shows that there were over 4 billion (4,092,757,049) doses of vaccines administered in the United States between 1/01/2006 through 12/31/2019, a year before the COVID-19 vaccines were given emergency use authorizations. Using that date range I repeated the exact same search for fetal deaths recorded in VAERS during that time, and VAERS reports 1,369 deaths from among those 4 billion+ doses administered between 1/01/2006 through 12/31/2019. The CDC reported this past week that there have been 543 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered as of February 3, 2022. So from 2006 through 2019, there was 1 fetal death recorded in VAERS for every 2,989,596 doses of vaccines administered. From December, 2020 through February 4, 2022, there has been 1 fetal death recorded in VAERS for ever 151,973 doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered. That's a 1,867% increase of fetal deaths recorded in VAERS following COVID-19 vaccines. I've run out of superlatives to use in the English language to describe this. Here are two recent stories from young mothers who lost their unborn babies just after receiving a second COVID-19 vaccine. Perhaps their words and their experiences, which obviously represent, at least, many thousands of others, can better communicate just how truly horrible this is.

Did Recent Court Rulings Force the FDA to Delay Approving Pfizer’s COVID Shots for Infants?

Operation Warp Speed has hit its first bump in the road. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced yesterday that it was delaying approval of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccines for young children between the ages of 6 months and 4 years old. Since up until this point the FDA has illegally approved all other Pfizer COVID-19 "vaccines" by simply rubber-stamping Pfizer's own data which is hidden from the public, the question that begs to be answered is, why? Pfizer has worked hard to hide the clinical data from their trials from the public, but recent court rulings have not exactly gone their way. The FDA had originally asked the court to delay releasing their clinical data for 75 years, but then agreed to provide 500 pages per month. In late January, Attorney Aaron Siri reported that a federal judge shot down the FDA’s requested rate of 500 pages per month and instead ordered the FDA to produce at the rate of 55,000 pages per month starting on March 1. Siri also reported that Pfizer was joining the FDA in the case. And why not, since the FDA basically works for Pfizer? Last week, the judge in this case, U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman, denied Pfizer's request (for now) to join the case. The next day, Pfizer redlined changes in their 4th quarter earnings release from 2021, adding language warnings that 'Unfavorable Pre-Clinical, Clinical Or Safety Data' may impact business in 2022. It's too bad for Pfizer that Donald Trump is no longer president, because he could have intervened to help Pfizer get their shots out to those 18 million children by strong-arming the FDA, like he originally did back in December 2020 when he threatened the FDA head, Dr. Stephen Hahn, to approve the COVID-19 shots or be fired.

Canadian Government is Getting Desperate as Ontario Premier Doug Ford Declares State of Emergency over Trucker Blockades

Major border entries from Canada to the U.S. remain closed today, Friday, February 11th, as the Canadian Government appears to be reaching a point of desperation in their efforts to shut down the Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy, as today Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency in Ontario, with yet more threats made against the protesters who seem to have become immune to the government's scare tactics. Announcing the stiffest penalties yet, Doug Ford has threatened the protesters with fines up to $100,000 and a year in prison if they don't stop the blockades.  Canadians, however, seem unfazed, fully understanding that they are indeed in control, and that the government does not have the resources to tow away their trucks nor arrest them all. 

Who You Allow to Define “Sickness” Determines if You Live in Slavery, or Freedom

In the mornings I listen to a "Christian Radio" station that plays uplifting and encouraging music to start my day. I listen for the music, but invariably these "Christian" radio stations feel the need to also feature speakers, usually "pastors," who share short little stories or messages played between songs that are supposed to represent Biblical teaching. Yesterday, the following story was shared on this particular station (I could not find this story in written format anywhere, so I am recalling this from memory and it may not be 100% accurate.). "A young mother was recently diagnosed with advanced cancer. Her doctors gave her two choices. One, she could go to a place like Acapulco and live out her remaining few days in comfortable surroundings. Or alternatively, she could undergo chemotherapy which would extend her life by about 5 years, but she would live in constant agony and suffering during those 5 years from the effects of chemotherapy. The young mother made the tough decision to go through with chemotherapy so she could extend her life by 5 years, because she said that she wanted to spend as much time as possible with her children, so that if they needed her, she would be there for them." The reason that this story was broadcast on a Christian radio show, is obviously because in Christianity today, choosing to make sacrifices for the sake of your family is considered very noble, and because Christians have a very high regard of the medical system, and doctors, whom Christians are taught are to be obeyed. Her choice was obviously being broadcast to communicate that she chose the most moral, and noble option available to her, the "Christian" thing to do. Well I am here today to tell you that she made the wrong choice, and that her choice was neither moral, nor noble. First of all, given only those two options, the better choice would probably have been to pack up the whole family, put life on hold for a while, and head to a beautiful place like Acapulco in Mexico with warm, sunny days by the ocean. Being in such a relaxing and restful atmosphere with her loved ones might have literally cured her cancer without pharmaceutical products. But most of all, her choice was the wrong one because she chose to obey her doctors, and accept their diagnosis of her alleged "sickness" and their prescribed treatments, which only provided two options, as if there were no others available. Who is missing in this story? God. Did God diagnose this young mother as "sick" according to how the Bible defines "sickness"? Were her options really only the two options her doctors gave to her? How you view the definition of "sickness" and who you view as the authority in diagnosing someone as "sick," determines if you are living a life of slavery to medical "authorities," or you are living a life of freedom, where "sickness" has no power over you, because you do not fear it.

California Lawmakers Fast-Tracking Child Health Bills to Erode Parental Rights

California lawmakers have chosen to fast-track several key child health bills that will further erode parental rights and infringe on parents’ ability to maintain medical freedom. Specifically, three fast-tracked bills involve forced COVID-19 vaccinations for children for school enrollment, and another allowing minor children to make their own vaccine decisions away from a parent. A third bill requires health care staff to complete cultural humility training to provide trans-inclusive health care. The Globe spoke with Karen England, Executive Director of the Capitol Resource Institute (CRI), a pro-family public policy organization educating, equipping, and engaging California citizens for 34 years. England shared her grave concerns about the bills, as well as the legislative processes being circumvented. “California has become like a co-parent in a divorce,” England said. “Government is the parent with custody and we are the visiting parent which has little say in important decisions. They think parents are the enemy and the barrier for what government wants to do.”

Truckers Block Windsor-Detroit Border as Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe Announces End of Vaccine Mandates

The Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy entered its 11th day today, as two border crossings from Canada to the U.S. were closed down by protesters. Rebel News is reporting that the Alberta - Montana border at Coutts has been closed again, this time by farmers. The border crossing in Alberta was not the only border closed down overnight, however, as the bridge between Windsor and Detroit was also blocked and shut down. Ian Miles Cheong of Rebel News reports: "The Ambassador Bridge that connects Windsor, Ontario to Detroit, Michigan has been completely blockaded by a convoy of trucks protesting the COVID-19 vaccine mandates, which remains ongoing in Canada’s capital city of Ottawa. Efforts by the Freedom Convoy further in the north spilled over to the border crossing, the largest international suspension bridge and a major transportation artery between the United States and Canada as protesters blocked traffic on Monday evening. Speaking to the Detroit Free Press, Gregg Ward, the president of Detroit-Windsor Truck Ferry said that the bridge closing is unprecedented and that the last time the bridge closed for a protest was in 1990." Meanwhile, back in Alberta, Pastor Artur Pawlowski was arrested, again, as he tried to join the protesters in Coutts. Rebel News is reporting that he was arrested by an undercover SWAT team that had staked out his home in Calgary. In Saskatchewan, Premier Scott Moe announced today that all proof of vaccine mandates in Saskatchewan will end this coming Sunday. He did not reference the Truckers Convoy, but instead used the excuse that the COVID-19 vaccines were "not effective" in stopping transmission of the current variant, Omicron, and that therefore the mandates are no longer needed. Since he erroneously stated that the vaccines were effective for past variants of COVID-19, he obviously left the door open to issue mandates again in the future, and of course never mentioned just how deadly these shots are, especially for children. In fact, his Chief Medical Health Officer, Dr. Saqib Shahab, followed his remarks by encouraging children to get one of the deadly shots. However, Premier Scott Moe said it was "time to heal" and time for people in Saskatchewan to come together and stop judging their neighbors and others in their community for having differences of opinion on the wearing of masks and getting vaccines. Will this announcement now pave the way for the rest of the Canadian Government to end vaccine mandates while still "saving face" and not referencing the Trucker Convoy protests?

The Truckers vs The Canadian Government: Be Prepared for What’s Coming Next

As we head into the second week of the Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy, the news from those on the ground is that the Government is about to bring in riot police to Ottawa and start arresting people, treating them as "terrorists," rather than negotiating with the protesters. Several former Canadian police have also voiced their opinions about the current tactics the government is using against the protesters, and one of them is Danny Bulford, a former tactical officer with the Canadian Police who was previously assigned to guard Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. He states that these arrests are not lawful, but a "scare tactic to coerce people into submission." He encourages the protesters to "hold the line."

Comedian Collapses on Stage During Joke: “I’m vaxxed, double vaxxed, boosted, and Jesus loves me most”

Pro-COVID-19 vaccine fanatics who criticize or mock in public those who refuse the COVID injections continue to experience the principle found in the Bible that states "you reap what you sow" or what others refer to as "karma" as they are struck down dead or injured, sometimes in full view of the public. TMZ is reporting today that Comedian Heather McDonald, the former "Chelsea Lately" star, was headlining a sold-out show in Tempe, Arizona, when she collapsed on stage during her second joke. "Comedian Heather McDonald fell hard during a show in Tempe, Arizona, but it was no joke ... it was a medical emergency. Eyewitnesses tell TMZ ... the former Chelsea Lately star was headlining the sold-out show, when she delivered her second joke ... 'I'm vaxxed, double vaxxed, boosted ... and flu shot and shingle shot and haven't gotten COVID and Jesus loves me most.' As soon as she delivered the joke, she just collapsed and hit her head on the floor. Everyone thought at first it was all part of the act, but it was not. She was conscious, but clearly, all was not well. An EMT and a nurse happened to be in the audience ... they rushed up on stage to provide first aid. The 911 call came in as a seizure, but no one really knows yet. An ambulance came and paramedics tended to Heather."

38,983 Deaths and 3,530,362 Injuries Following COVID Shots in European Database as Mass Funeral for Children who Died After Pfizer Vaccine Held in Switzerland

The European (EEA and non-EEA countries) database of suspected drug reaction reports is EudraVigilance, verified by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and they are now reporting 38,983 fatalities, and 3,530,362 injuries following injections of four experimental COVID-19 shots. From the total of injuries recorded, almost half of them (1,672,872 ) are serious injuries. On January 29, 2021 a mass funeral protest for children who have died after receiving a Pfizer vaccine was held in Geneva, Switzerland. Someone recorded the event and made a short video.

Whistleblower: Gunshot Wounds, Baby Deliveries, Car Accidents All Being Coded as “COVID” in Hospitals to Keep Federal Funding Flowing

More evidence is surfacing showing that hospitals today are still collecting federal funds as an incentive to diagnose patients with "COVID" via a PCR Test, even if the patient was brought to the hospital with gunshot wounds, or to have a child, or from a car accident. Project Veritas released a video yesterday of a whistleblower, Jeanne Stagg, who was working as a Senior Administrative Nurse at United Healthcare in Louisiana. She came forward to expose the fraudulent practices still going on in hospitals today where people who have no symptoms of COVID come into the hospital, such as from gunshot wounds, or to have a baby, or because they were in a car accident, and are then tested positive for COVID and coded as a "COVID patient" when they are admitted to the hospital. This releases federal funding that financially benefits the hospitals, but can literally kill the patient because they get the wrong treatment. And to demonstrate how this is happening, a man has just come forward to give his testimony in public about how he was in a car accident, where EMS ambulance services arrived on the scene and sedated him against his will, air lifted him to a hospital allegedly in Tucson, Arizona, and he woke up 8 hours later on a ventilator because he was diagnosed as a "COVID" patient. He was all alone in his room when he woke up, so he took himself off of the ventilator, removed the IV and catheter, and demanded to be released from the hospital. He considers himself lucky to be alive today.

Speech Therapist: 364% Surge in Baby and Toddler Referrals Thanks to Mask Wearing

A speech therapist says that mask wearing during the pandemic has caused a 364% increase in patient referrals of babies and toddlers. Jaclyn Theek told WPBF News that before the pandemic, only 5 per cent of patients were babies and toddlers, but this has soared to 20 per cent. Parents are describing their children’s speech problems as “COVID delayed,” with face coverings the primary cause of their speaking skills being seriously impaired. As young as 8 months old, babies start learning how to speak by reading lips, a thankless task if parents and carers smother themselves with masks to comply with mandates.

Occupy Ottawa Day 4: All Eyes on Alberta as Truckers Stand Firm Against Threats and Police Stand Down!

Today's update on the Trucker Freedom Convoy switches to where the most intense action has been for the past couple of days in Coutts, Alberta, where Truckers are finishing up their 4th day of protesting at the border between Alberta and Montana. The Truckers were actually blocked in by the police, so there seems to be some confusion as to who is actually closing the border. The Truckers were willing to open a lane, but the police originally did not want to negotiate. Yesterday, Canadian police sent two officers to negotiate with the Truckers, who had agreed to open a lane to pass through the border, and the police apparently promised the truckers that while they would not allow more vehicles to join their group, they would allow food to be brought into them. However, it was soon discovered that they did not make good on their promise, and Truckers had to brave blizzard like conditions to walk several miles to get food. When the officers returned, the Truckers repeated their demands, which are to end the vaccine mandates, and dismissed the police, who promptly left. Today, an attorney arrived to represent the Truckers in their negotiations, and the Canadian police sent two new officers, apparently tactical officers, who read their demands to the Truckers to surrender themselves immediately or face the consequences. The Truckers stood their ground, and the police had no choice but to retreat. They apparently made a tactical error by sending a multitude of SWAT teams and other forces which left the check points unattended, which allowed many of the hundreds of other truckers waiting to join them to come through and join the protest, including farmers driving tractors and other equipment. Rebel News has had people embedded with the Truckers the whole time giving multiple video reports and interviews throughout the four days, and they are also helping to support the Truckers with legal fees. I have compiled all of their video reports from the past four days into one video. These videos were posted on the Twitter account. Watch this incredible report to find out just who these Truckers really are, their commitment, their resolve, and their bravery which is the exact opposite of how the corporate media is portraying them. Thank you to Rebel News! I hope you have these reports in other places besides Twitter!

Are the Globalists Intentionally Destroying the Food Supply Chain to Create a Crisis of Hunger and Starvation?

About 6,500 people were told to evacuate their homes in Winston-Salem, North Carolina today, when a fire broke out overnight at a fertilizer plant that Winston-Salem Fire Chief Trey Mayo said contained "an estimated 5,000 tons of finished fertilizer." The cause of the fire is not known. The facility is inspected by the fire department yearly, Mayo said. The last inspection was in December, and no violations were found. Taken in isolation, this news story would not be very alarming in terms of its impact on food production in the U.S., as fires at fertilizer plants do happen from time to time and are not that rare. The main focus of this news story being reported in the corporate media today is the safety of those close to the fire, as it should be. But when one considers the fact that the U.S. still imports a significant portion of its fertilizer from China, which stopped exporting phosphate to the U.S. in September last year to allegedly save their supplies for their own farmers, and that potassium chloride from potash comes mainly from Saskatchewan, Canada, where truckers are now protesting COVID vaccine mandates with little to no traffic coming across the borders which is fueling major concerns about fertilizer shortages, and that on top of all that many state organizations for corn, wheat and soybean producers sent a letter to the second largest fertilizer company in the U.S. last December complaining that "tariff barriers" from the second largest fertilizer company in the U.S. were preventing them from buying fertilizers from Morocco and Russia, suggests that perhaps something much more sinister is in play here, with potential disastrous results later this year. When the United States was founded in the 1700s, about 90% of the population was employed in agriculture. By the time Abraham Lincoln became President, that number had dropped down below 50%. Today, less than 1% of the U.S. population is employed in agriculture, and just a handful of companies control the food supply, here in the U.S. and around the world. Our agricultural system is heavily dependent on technology today, as mass production of food has caused a major depletion of our soil, which is dependent on fertilizers to grow crops today: no fertilizers, no crops, no food.
