Biblical Famine Predicted at UN

126

The United Nations Organization, which “missed” the pandemic and which should work on programs to overcome the crisis, began to make apocalyptic forecasts. The UN said that the spread of a new type of coronavirus around the planet can lead to serious food problems.

From a statement by the head of the World Food Program, David Beasley:



In a few months, the planet may face a famine of biblical proportions. If we do not take action together, it will become a reality. Measures must be taken to ensure the food security of countries.

According to Mr. Beasley, those who live in zones of military conflict will face hunger first of all.

We are talking about Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, South Sudan. Also mentioned are Venezuela, Ethiopia, Haiti, Nigeria and others.

Beasley:

According to our forecasts, by the end of this year, 30 countries of the world with a total population of 265 million people will experience a large famine.

At the same time, the World Food Program Directorate noted that in 2019, at least 77 million people faced an acute shortage of food products.

Experts believe that these figures are significantly underestimated. They clearly do not take into account the number of refugees who have left their permanent residence in recent years. Millions of them could not find an opportunity to provide for themselves and their families.

      Of course. Now it’s spring, time to sow, not to engage in self-isolation. Otherwise, there will be nothing to eat. Apparently the world elites are trying to achieve this.

        I also think, but what will happen in Russia with a new crop? In the same Leningrad region, for example, if the quarantine in St. Petersburg drags on?
        Citizens are not recommended to travel to summer cottages while quarantine is in effect. And time is moving toward landing.
        For many citizens, their own harvest in the summer cottage is a great help for the family with harvesting for the winter. Will they manage to plant something and grow for a short northern summer.
        And there will be many such needy people who have lost their jobs as a result of quarantine.

          Tatyana! With all due respect, I did not understand you. I live just on the Karelian Isthmus. In the mornings on weekends, there are a lot of cars on Primorskoye Shosse. To the summer cottages past us leave from St. Petersburg, and local, all who need it unhindered. I just heard that Beglov recommended that all old people take refuge in summer cottages. It's too early to plant, but the early flowers have already appeared. As for the famine in the Russian Federation, I heard that the government has reduced quotas for the export of wheat from Russia. They predict a bad harvest, I don’t know! Everything can be - winter was stupid, snowless, but it does not depend on Beglov.

            Well, the old people in the country - not so hot any workers. This is the first.
            And the second one. The city of St. Petersburg is a huge multi-million city, served by ELECTRICITY.
            Country gardening around the city of St. Petersburg has divorced since the Soviet era and not everyone has a car.
            And if there is a car in the family, then not everyone and not always in the family goes to the country for summer cottages for those who really need it.

            Of course, they anticipate. And they predict that the supply of other food from abroad may be limited. The main thing is that the Russian Federation for some types of food continues to depend on other countries. For example, for the same beef.
            Talks are already going on in St. Petersburg and Moscow about the possibility of attracting unemployed citizens who have lost their jobs due to quarantine to the fields, instead of foreign labor migrants.

              Tatyana. Old people are different. But that is not the point. Judging by the mood of my neighbors, I’m sure that everything they want to plant will be planted - that’s not the way Russian people are. Judging by the stories, they even planted cabbage in the blockade even on St. Isaac's Square. So they will come as anyone convenient, even on the train, at least somehow. By the way, in the mornings, electric trains pass us as before, only daytime canceled. As for wheat. Since it’s just that they are exported from Russia in large quantities to Egypt. It was for the reduction of export quotas for grain, thereby provoking hunger in Africa, that Russia was criticized at the UN. That is why in the foreign media they raised a howl that Russia is not only dirty to the whole world, but also wants to starve the blacks. Therefore, the article is strange. Apparently, from the sources that the author used, they removed the criticism of Russia from the UN.

                The Russian Federation exported excess wheat abroad in exchange for meat supplies. And now, in connection with quarantine, it will be forced to fatten its cattle for meat.
                Here the "collective West" has its own - in terms of meat - MARKET interest in supporting its own livestock and agriculture, and not a humanitarian interest for African countries.

                  Well, let's not eat beef! So what? According to it, providing half the consumption, we will reduce the consumption of beef in half. But!! For chicken and pork production in the country exceeds consumption. We will eat pork and chicken means .. Generally I do not see any problems in this area.

                    Beef meat is needed, because pork is not recommended for everyone because of fat content - especially for certain diseases.

                    And the matter is not only in beef, but also in the lack of natural milk, sour cream, cottage cheese and butter. There are too many artificial substitutes for these foods in the country.

                      It's just about beef, like meat. Replace means lamb, chicken, fish, turkey to whom pork is not kosher or not halal. There is also enough milk and dairy products, the only problem is cattle meat. Our climate is not suitable for competitive rearing of bull-calves for meat, well, it’s not necessary. Enough other sources of protein. At the same time, beef is produced in Russia in sufficient quantities to feed people with health problems.

                      I haven’t bought beef for a long time. From meat there are now chickens, turkey and pork on the table. I have pork for every taste near me in a store in a store from a pig farm. There is a tenderloin. Not a single zhirinka is visible. The diabetic wife prefers chicken and turkey.

                    Curfew - not quarantine - the garden is not a hindrance! And for violation of the quarantine, which lasts around the clock, during the war, as well as for violation of curfew, they would definitely be put to the wall. Just go outside at any time of the day!

                    It is good that there was no epidemic in Leningrad. And then the German invaders really counted on the occurrence of an epidemic in the besieged Leningrad!
                    However, the defenders of Leningrad selflessly consciously saved the city from an epidemic,

                  Tatyana! There was no quarantine in the blockade. It's right! BUT WAS HUNGER. And now in St. Petersburg, no quarantine, no hunger. Now we do not have quarantine, but self-isolation. In our town, the police really began to walk, but they have not fined anyone yet, although drunkards sometimes drink on the playground, I saw it myself. My late mother and sisters survived the blockade. And I have something to tell, they remembered, but I will not retell, because I do not want to shock the audience. But to compare today and the blockade is at least, however there are no words ...

              Migrants are not particularly used in field work. In agricultural holdings and for farmers, work is in full swing, and they did not have any particular restrictions. In crop production now (maybe, except for greenhouse farms), a lot of people are not required.

            I am outraged that you can walk with a dog, but you just can't go outside. Well, if you just hang out on the street, and if I need to dig a garden and plant potatoes and other vegetables? I’m alone in my garden, I’m not hanging out with anyone - why am I breaking self-isolation? If I abandon this garden, who will give me potatoes, onions, etc. in winter? Buying them for retirement is unlikely to be possible, because their prices will probably be sky-high. Therefore, I decided: I’d better pay a 5 thousand fine (if I get caught) than count the rubles all winter and wonder what to buy, a kilo of potatoes or a bottle of milk. I hope our authorities change their minds and allow the people to be in their areas, at least during the landing.

            The government "cut". I remember the government once was able to ban the sale of grain abroad in August 2010. I personally saw a line of grain carriers stretching then from Novorossiysk and almost to Krasnodar. However, this did not save from a sharp rise in prices on the domestic market. Moreover, given the 2010 embargo and the 2014 restrictions, our exporters insured themselves and found loopholes to bypass the restrictions, for example, through the "gasket firms" of the "union state" or the SCO countries that are subject to preferential export regimes.

The daily summer train from Sestroretsk to Leipyasuo, there at the owls. Voskovsky authorities gave the plots; apparently, he wouldn’t go. Obviously, an uratskoye decision, because you can take an electric train to Beloostrov and transfer to Vyborgskaya there. It is inconvenient and just unsafe, since the Vyborg electric trains are just crowded.

              Especially for you, I made a small detour and walked past the playground. By the way, about 350 meters from this site there is a Khrushchevka in which a positive person according to covert 19 is hospitalized.
              There are really fewer people in the metro, but this is largely due to the fact that one significant part of the population does not need to work, and the other to study, but these parts of the population perfectly compensate for this with walks around the city and trips to the dacha barbecue. It was too lazy to stomp a quarter on foot, so I would get out on the Victory Park and take a picture like "there are no visitors there and the police are fining everyone"

But, as far as I had to communicate with farmers, they have no time to travel abroad, maybe for a maximum of a week, and even then not every year. I wrote about those who roam abroad regularly, so to speak "new class", "people of the world." They are not tied to the ground.

      Tolerance is good when a European is full and satisfied with life. And when there is nothing to eat - tolerance passes.

    In general, nothing new has been said. The reasons are the same, no one was in a hurry to eliminate them before they are not going to eliminate them later.

    We are talking about Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, South Sudan. Also mentioned are Venezuela, Ethiopia, Haiti, Nigeria and others.

    The United Nations Organization, which “missed” the pandemic and which should work on programs to overcome the crisis, began to make apocalyptic forecasts.

    And what else can UN officials do, hunger is not hunger, virus is not a virus, they will get their grandmothers rather big.
    As always, the hunger strike assistance program will be announced, they will start handing out food handouts and not investing in the development of local agricultural production. Why does someone need a competitor, it is better to be a monopolist in agricultural production and skim the cream, and officials do not care what budget they cut, state or international.

    The UN said that the spread of a new type of coronavirus around the planet can lead to serious food problems.

    and at this time, American farmers are destroying their crops. For they cannot sell.

    Of course. Now it’s spring, time to sow, not to engage in self-isolation. Otherwise, there will be nothing to eat. Apparently the world elites are trying to achieve this.

    It seems that this is precisely what the world Zionist-financial mafia is seeking. They have plenty of experience in organizing mass hunger. After the seizure of power in Russia in 1917, they were quite successfully engaged in this.

    Has the UN somehow turned into an outside observer? Those. they will make hunger forecasts, but will they prevent negative developments?
    And the governments of most countries now, copying the position of the UN, are fighting with their people, not with the virus.

    From a statement by David Beasley, head of the World Food Program

    I translate, this Beasley is stuffing the price of his office and is trying to achieve an increase in money for her.
    The UN said ....
    - a very crafty phrase, the UN did not say anything, Beasley said.

    The state of Rusco EASY it is possible to increase RESERVES OF ALL FOOD and right now time for it !!! Ode to Old Egypt Commodity Reserves Exist! If there will be a deeply global crisis, it is necessary to provide social programs to help pensioners and the poor in FOOD! This is SIMPLE MATH. It would take about 6 months to grow a bull, but the most important thing is food for them, and if there is grain there will be food. Whether production is expensive or not during a deep crisis NO QUESTION; yes, a cover of bread will be paid in GOLD. The state did the right thing with a reduction in grain exports, and production must also be increased! The fish are very important, and the resources in Russia for production are HUGE !!! If there is starvation in Russia THIS WILL BE AN INTENTION NO CONSEQUENCES OF THE CRISIS !!! RUSSIA CAN FEED 3 billion ice floes if you want!
    But the garden in private owners must have and increase production as much as you can.
    The weight of the world will be in a shortage of products and many will look at the United States and Rusiu, and as a result, the United States will probably steal one from the other, and not help.
    BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT IS THE COUNTRY WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO FEED 3 BILLION PEOPLE, EVERYONE IS WHICH CRISIS WILL FEED 300 MILLION FOR EASY IF THE STATE WILL CORRECTLY DO !!!

    In agriculture, they both worked and are working. This can be called a "continuous cycle enterprise". And they sow, and do all the work required. Of course, with the observance of precautions (mask)

    I also think, but what will happen in Russia with a new crop ?.

    It will be fine. Perhaps even a "battle" for the harvest. Quarantine does not apply to agricultural work

    As for the famine in the Russian Federation, I heard that the government has reduced quotas for the export of wheat from Russia

    Has reduced. And significantly. From 36 EMNIP to 7 million tons of wheat ...

    I haven’t bought beef for a long time. From meat there are now chickens, turkey and pork on the table. I have pork for every taste near me in a store in a store from a pig farm. There is a tenderloin. Not a single zhirinka is visible. The diabetic wife prefers chicken and turkey.

    I haven’t bought lamb for a long time. Everything else - chicken, turkey, pork and beef - in the diet. Maybe only in a slightly smaller amount than before

    Quote: СРЦ П-15
    I am outraged that you can walk with a dog, but you just can't go outside. Well, if you just hang out on the street, and if I need to dig a garden and plant potatoes and other vegetables? I’m alone in my garden, I’m not hanging out with anyone - why am I breaking self-isolation?

    Walking with a dog is, as you know, a necessary measure. As for the fact that you can’t go out on the street - stupid things. Nobody forbids you to go to a store or a pharmacy. And not even coming. But hanging around - yes, they can also impose a fine for this, because our people until they themselves have experienced something in their own skin - will treat all prohibitions as optional. You see him tired of sitting at home. This violates his constitutional rights. Let such people go and get sick - D. urakov is not sorry. I feel sorry for others who, because of such people, may end up in a hospital bed.
    As for the vegetable garden, if it is in your yard, and not in the country house outside the city, no one can do anything to you. Two of my friends live "on earth". although within the city limits. I called up. One said that he had already planted everything, the other was engaged in small-scale construction in his yard. And if necessary, he goes out into the yard and sits down in the gazebo.
    Self-isolation is not so much sitting in four walls, but reducing to the limit of the level of contacts outside the house ...

    Quote: SRC P-15
    Therefore, I decided: I’d better pay a 5 thousand fine (if I get caught) than count the rubles all winter and wonder what to buy, a kilo of potatoes or a bottle of milk.

    You can run into trips to the country repeatedly to control. Moreover, if the first or second time you pay 1 thousand, then in subsequent fines can increase up to 2-5 thousand EMNIP. So think what’s better. For once caught 30 times you can fly into the amount close to 40 thousand.

    Food and fresh water are strategic products, a gradual increase in their importance and role has long been predicted.
    Our country has everything to be a world leader in food supplies. We have our own oil, that is, fuels and lubricants, although it is not clear why fuels and lubricants are more expensive for our peasants than for peasants in those countries where fuels and lubricants are produced from imported Russian, our, oil.
    Many are accustomed to the expression they say we are the largest country in the world, we are the richest in resources, etc. Our country is really RICH, another question is how rationally resources are used and spent, how comfortable and equal conditions are created for residents of megalopolises and provinces. We have a stupid internal migration policy, we overload the European part of the country, instead of the second "development of Siberia and the Far East" we are in the process of migration from East to West, which is destructive for the country, for the economy of the Far East.
    We see the Finns as an example, and nothing prevents us from living in Karelia at least NOT WORSE, we see the Japanese, we see the infrastructure of this country on the islands, what prevents us from living on the islands and even more comfortable mainland conditions, at least NOT WORSE? .. .
    Much has been said about the development of infrastructure in the regions, but when will the talking room finally end? When instead of some incomprehensible ambitions in the international arena and failed projects one by one, the elected government will report primarily on what has been done in our own country, tangibly or tangibly, and not outside it, to no avail and without real impact for our economy as a whole. There is no sense in some supposedly strong international politics with a weak economy, and we have nothing to do with it, we still have something there due to the merits of the USSR, that is, members of the UN Security Council, etc. Yes, we are ONE OF the nuclear powers, but we are also one of the weakest economies, well, well, thanks to the nuclear shield we weren’t attacked, thanks to the grandfathers, and they won’t attack yet, but then what? - This is the level of the regional state, the country, Pakistan also has nuclear weapons, and Pyongyang also seems to own it. Yes, we have a huge territory, thanks to our ancestors, huge wealth, but they are used inefficiently, we are increasingly rolling back into the niche of a commodity country.
    Since we are talking about food as a strategic resource and product, we must understand that if we are like trained monkeys here, we will not develop and maintain our own mechanical engineering, and we are increasingly dominated by Western machines and tools in the fields, then this is worthless resource. We will pay for effective technologies and machines TAM, food grown HERE, we will always be the loser, in the role of catching up. Only the full complex and the whole chain, and agricultural technologies, and mechanical engineering, and science, and the general level of technological development of the country will allow us to really benefit from this and get advantages and benefits, and not work like a slave on a German tractor, most of it beating off its cost and service, and fuels and lubricants at exorbitant prices from domestic oligarchs and authorities that do not think of anything in the economy.
    We are worried about our various defense industry enterprises, discussing how difficult it will be for them after the reduction of the defense order, how much it will hit the staff, the employment in mono cities, etc. Who is stopping us from diversifying production, not only existing, but also newly created, right at the design stage? It’s not about conversion, but about a focused program, when the very same personnel would cook the armor, the arrow of the excavator, and the frame of the wheeled tractor? ... We have special conditions, much of the foreign experience will not take root on our soil, but much of We can put together elements of Western, Soviet and real domestic experience into a good puzzle. We can, but will we do it, will the mind prevail over the rest ... We will see - our country surprised not only the world, but also itself, and more than once. Food and its shortage is another chance and resource.
