What will a loaf of bread cost next year?
Guest Commentary by Joyce Morrison
Joyce Morrison is a pro-family activist whose field of expertise includes private property rights. Morrison attempts to educate the public regarding the dangers coming to their local communities through Sustainable Development and Agenda 21 programs which are designed to gradually take control of all private property through undue regulations. Morrison is also a farmer.
The mere thought of a food shortage in America is unthinkable…or is it?
Headlines read, “Planting season weather perplexing for farmers.” “Weather may cut yields,” “Further spike in food costs feared due to floods,” “Food shortages,” -- these are headlines preparing us for the fact we will no longer have the cheapest, safest food in the world.
All spring the breadbasket of America has been deluged with floods, wind storms, tornados, heavy rain and hail. Illinois has even felt tremors from earthquakes. Farmers have struggled for their fields to be dry enough to get a crop planted only to have the seeds pounded in the ground by more rain. Beans break their necks trying to get through the crust left by the hard rains -- and they have to be replanted. Water has stood on the small seedlings that have sprouted, while acres sit idly by, too wet to plant.
Major flooding has hit the whole area including Arkansas, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Minnesota…on top of devastating tornadoes. Upland fields have been flooded by 5 to 10 inches of rain in one storm.
In Central Illinois there have been reports of enough standing water in the fields that when the wind is blowing, there are big waves. Water standing on crops for more than a couple of days will drown the plants.
We have had cold weather when it should have been warm. We have had warm weather when it should have been cold. People are skiing on fresh snow in Colorado…in June.
Major cities in Iowa have flooded and, as the waters recede, the Mississippi River is flooding communities and fields down river as it travels to the Gulf of Mexico. Thousands of acres of rich farmland are now under water.
Some of the richest farm ground in the nation will not produce a crop this year because the flood waters will not recede in time to allow the ground to dry to plant. Farmers in other parts of the country are suffering from drought. Fires have become common in California and Florida.
Corn did not get planted in a timely manner this spring. The growing crop will not produce as well because the July heat will injure the pollen that is necessary to fill the ears with grains of corn. It is too late to replant corn and very chancy on beans, if the weather turns hot and dry.
What is going on? People who have survived many disasters in their lifetime are shaking their heads in disbelief. This time it is different. Man-made global warming is not causing this. 31,000 scientists dispute man has caused global warming--in spite of what Al Gore says. Some scoffers have actually been reading their Bibles and found that Revelations 6:6 talks about a day’s wage for a loaf of bread.
If we have the technology to go to the moon, or survive in outer space, do we also have the technology to control the weather?

"Technology will make available, to the leaders of major nations, techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security forces need be appraised... [T]echniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm." -- writes former National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, in his book "Between Two Ages.”
Weather modification is the general term that refers to any human attempt to alter the weather. On March 3, 2005, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas introduced the Weather Modification Research and Technology Transfer Authorization Act of 2005 (S.517), 1st Session, 109th Congress, on the floor of the U.S. Senate. The bill would establish the Weather Modification Operations and Research Board to overlook weather modification research.
As levees are over-topped by unprecedented flooding -- only comparable to 1993 -- it is cause to wonder, “Is there a reason to clear the Mississippi River Corridor? Does the National Park Service (NPS) have plans that does not include human habitat along the Mississippi River Corridor?"
What about certain legislation such as HR 1796? “To amend the National Trails System Act to designate the Route of the Mississippi River from its headwaters in the state of Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico for the study for potential addition to the National Trails System as a National Scenic Trail, National Historic Trail.”
Are we being paranoid knowing the power of eminent domain that goes with the NPS and the Trails system? Are we putting the wrong dots together -- or is the real picture unfolding?
Henry Kissinger was reported to have said, “Control the food and you control the people.” Controlling people is as simple as controlling food and water, through a variety of controls, including control of the land.
