Is it just a coincidence when Biden, WEF, and IMF predict Global Food Shortages and Large Food Manufacturers are suddenly on fire? What about this H1N1 Avian Flu with fake PCR test causing the murder of millions of chickens and turkeys? Gates buying up all the farmland, blocking out the sun, invested in the seed banks and “digitalizing” agriculture – but more importantly invested in artificial meat. UN & their “eat bugs” campaign. What else is going on? Well, I haven’t been following this narrative, but this post will be for collecting my notes as I encounter information as usual.

Food Chain Reaction: A Global Security Game
The Center for American Progress, World Wildlife Fund, Cargill, Mars, and CNA developed and executed a policy decision-making game designed to explore issues arising from, and possible responses to, global food system disruptions. The game took place in November 2015 in Washington, D.C., and included senior officials and subject matter experts on teams representing Brazil, Continental Africa, China, the European Union (EU), India, the United States, Multilateral Institutions, and Business and Investors. During four rounds of game play spanning the decade 2020 to 2030, players confronted food system pressure at the intersection of population growth, urbanization, severe weather, and social unrest. In response, players crafted policies, made decisions, and took actions that dynamically influenced the state of the world as the game advanced. As the chain reaction of impacts tied to their choices became apparent, players experienced first-hand how their decisions and actions influenced global food security. At the conclusion of the game, players highlighted significant lessons learned and expressed increased preparedness to collaboratively address food security.
November, 2015 “Food Chain Reaction: A Global Food Security Game is a simulation and role-playing exercise intended to improve understanding of how governments, institutions, and private sector interests might interact to address a crisis in the global food system. The scenario is set five years from today in a world where population growth, rapid urbanization, extreme weather, and political crises combine to threaten global food security.
The game’s players—high-level decision makers representing nations, international institutions, and the private sector—will collaborate, negotiate, make decisions, and confront tradeoffs while dealing with a chain reaction of consequences resulting from their actions.”
“The year is 2020. Our global food system is under stress. All countries are experiencing mounting pressures. Under this scenario, a group of leaders from government, the private sector, international institutions and NGOs will engage in a simulation to determine how they will react as the food supply becomes increasingly destabilized.”
The game was set between the years 2020 and 2030. The simulation projected the decade to bring forth two major food crises, with prices approaching 400% of the long term average; a raft of climate-related extreme weather events; governments toppling in Pakistan and Ukraine; and famine and refugee crises in Bangladesh, Myanmar, Chad and Sudan.
In the simulation, one governmental solution was a tax on meat. Another? A global carbon tax.
The players were organized into eight teams.
- 6 of the teams represented
- Brazil
- China
- the European Union (EU)
- India
- the United States
- Continental Africa
- 7th team represented Business and Investors
- 8th team represented Multilateral Institutions (e.g., World Bank, United Nations, Non-Governmental Organizations).
Teams pledged to build international information networks and early warning systems on hunger and crops together, invest jointly in smart agricultural technology and build up global food stocks as a buffer against climate shocks.

So 2015 they have a tabletop simulation (yeah one of hundreds about the pandemic but this one was about Global Food shortages in 2020-2030).
Our “elite psychopaths are literally obsessed with over-population”, this in ingrained in them throughout their lives, their families are on eugenics/population councils, their education, their social-circle.. it’s all “population, population, population”….
Anyway, so 5 years ago, they have this wargame simulation, using their ever-faulty “modelling” that there’s going to be so many people in 2020-2030, that there’s going to be a global food supply shortage.
These brilliant minds came up with these solutions:
- “Global Carbon Tax”
- and a tax on meat.
(Interestingly as a side-comment, they also predicted the governments toppling in Ukraine and Pakistan… love their crystal balls.)
Anyway, these brilliant minds, that the world is basically obeying and complying to right now, include…:
- John “Centre of the Pizzagate-Scandal” Podesta (Center for American Progress)
- Cargill (bigAg – think: Bill & Melinda Gates/Monsanto/and other investors in the destruction of the world’s livestock in favour of their lab-created seeds & lab-created food and Big-Tech-created Agriculture… robotic-farming/GMO seeds/lab-created fertilizers and livestock foods, etc….etc…etc.. would take all day to locate the whole list for these guys, and whoever is behind Cargill only gets announced with various press-releases, their financial statements are private)
(to me, that means Vanguard & the Central Bankers – but no evidence of that, other than their press-release connections) - CNA (informs decisions of Navy / Marine / DOD / FAA / FEMA / DHS / DOJ, etc) – creator of the war-games
- WWF (founded by Julian Huxley… eugenics guy who wanted to remove “undesirable variants from the human gene pool” and wrote 2 books critical of the genetics in the Soviet Union, and brother to the infamous Aldous Huxley, the writer of the dystopian “Brave New World” we’re kind of living out)
Anyway, the whole world obviously seems to be taking directions from these so-called brilliant minds right now, but alarmingly.. (well, it should be alarming to most thinking-people), is their “solutions” to “not enough food” is “put more tax on food”, and to “over-regulate” our farmers and increase water-taxes. kind of making it much harder to increase the food supply…?
IF — their modelling was correct.. (which it never is)…but… “IF” — there was a global food shortage intended for 2020-2030 based on “too many people” like they model….
Then, wouldn’t the solution be “grow more food, encourage people to grow their own food, and support our farmers”?
The opposite is what we have done, the opposite is what we’re doing, we’re really in an inverse-world.
Behind the scenes they are:
- buying up all the farmland
- killing the livestock
- over-regulating the farmers
- forcing farmers to use their GMO-seed (which they’re forced to keep re-purchasing because these lab-created seeds can’t be re-grown, let alone zero safety studies done on what these do to our livestock or humans because “it looks the same, and that’s good enough”)
- trying to convince farmers to use their tech-robotics and grow their gmo-soy in place of humans & livestock..
- incentivizing traditional farmers to retire
- and more..
For instance, in Ballarat, where I live, there is over a million spent a year on gardeners and landscapers and so on… you know, those groups of people going around and creating “mothers day” flower-displays and “welcome to Ballarat” on the side of the road, mowing the lawns on the side of the road, planting “flowers” – inedible flowers – everywhere, and spraying the “weeds”.
If there was an intended global food-shortage that they planned-for, those same people could be used to grow food on the side of the road… food could be abundant in this town… food, heritage non-gmo food, could be freely grown. Instead of banning people from ‘sustainable areas”, you could create “sustainable areas” – food for all.
Instead, in Victoria, we have just brought in this new bill… clearly a globalist-hard-on bill that puts even more pressure on our farmers to obey these globalist-elite-recommendations, and gives more power to law enforcement — these kinds of bills that look “good” on the surface (they promote it to the general public by bringing up animal-abuse, etc so this would give law enforcement more powers in such chases)… is how we fucked-over our farmers in the first place (i.e. Lima which completely destroyed over 90% of our manufacturing and agriculture in around 5-10 yrs), and is what is needed to bring in some pretty draconian shit coming up, like the mass-slaughtering of livestock with fake epidemics, and this could also be an ‘in’ to forcing our farmers to use their draconian fake lab-meat for the livestock, to banning people from growing their own food, as well as enforcing the use of “their” GMO-Eugenics-Seeds.
Our leaders, are globalist-puppets.
Joining international treaties that have completely fucked Australia’s sovereignty and made us completely reliant on foreign control. Corporate control – it’s all “money”. Australia is a “business”.
The globalists (if I list them all, your eyes will glaze-over) have taken over:
- the world’s food supply
- fertilizer supply
- seed banks
- land
- agriculture
In addition to these genetically-edited & genetically-modified foods/seeds, we have foreign entities who apparently were given the rights over our own water lol.
“Create the problem, own the solution”.
The sooner the people realize the chess-game that’s being played on our planet – that we’re kept too-distracted to look at, the sooner we can bring common-sense to our local councils.
Or at least if people become aware that we are the pawns in this chess-game and that the pawns have the power to be way more strategic in their moves to help each other survive what is coming – if we unite & work together, then we have a chance.
But whilst everyone puts their head in the sand and just lets them do whatever they want, keeps playing games & being distracted by the tv, we are just going to see this dictatorship and globalist-power-grab ever-more increasing and increasing.
The leaders think only of the paypacket of the day, and not for the future generations.
The big parties including the Greens are not working for the people. The big parties that you automatically vote for because your dad and grandpa always voted for them, are not the same parties your parents and grandparents voted for. Two-years of an obvious-accelerated global takeover should make people a little more conscious that something is not right.
“You will own nothing, they will own everything”.

April 21, 2022, General Mills Plant, Covington, GA; Two people died after a plane crashed into an empty lot at a General Mills plant in Covington, GA, used to store tractor-trailers. Witnesses believe the aircraft had trouble gaining altitude when it suddenly veered right and immediately came down into the lot. The plane appeared to explode upon impact, catching several empty trailers on fire due to the crash. The police captain said that many lives were saved because the plane did not directly crash into the plant, as it crashed about 300 feet away from the plant. The NTSB is investigating the crash.

April 13, 2022, Gem State Processing, Heyburn, ID; An experienced UPS pilot’s plane crashed into the roof of the potato and food processing plant, killing the pilot instantly. The facility sources 18,000 acres of Idaho potatoes. The distraught father of pilot Brittney Infanger, 30, said his daughter knew the area well and often flew into the airport near the plant. He added, “There’s a 60-foot chimney sticking out of the food processing plant—no lights on it, dead center—straight across the runway. So whenever you come in, you have to fly over the top of this and drop down. The airport needs to be closed, period.”

April 13, 2022, Taylor Farms, Salinas, CA; Reports say the fire started in a wall and spread rapidly to the attic at the 225,000 processing plant, a major producer of fruits and vegetables. More than 100 firefighters were needed to contain the blaze as there were concerns of an ammonia explosion at the plant. It is believed the plant stored 40,000 gallons of ammonia. For over 27 years, Taylor Farms, with nearly 22,000 employees, has built a network of 20 facilities across America. As the company navigates rebuilding the Salinas plant, they are currently moving into another space in Salinas. They are grateful that their Yuma, AZ plant is fully operational.

February 28, 2022, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Sunnyside, WA; A tremendous commercial structure fire at the fertilizer facility started from smoldering sulfur, according to reports. An 18,000 sq ft. storage building at the plant was destroyed by the fire, and no one was injured. More than 1.7 million pounds of sulfur burned—though fire officials were more concerned with the hazardous ammonium sulfate. Authorities say 236,000 lbs of the substance, considered the most dangerous chemical in the plant, burned early into the blaze. The fire occurred shortly after a load of sulfur was deposited in the building. Sunnyside fire chief said the fire department believes the fire was mechanical, but there isn’t a way to know for sure because the fire damaged the machinery used to unload the sulfur. The facility is back in operation except for the dry fertilizer shed and the liquid fertilizer load-out area.

February 22, 2022, Shearer’s Foods, Hermiston, OR; a massive explosion and fire destroyed the potato chip plant. Two weeks after the fire, the company had laid off all of its nearly 250 employees. The company is exploring its options, noting that it will take at least 15-18 months to rebuild to the point of resuming production. The fire is believed to have been caused by the explosion of a portable natural gas-powered boiler.
- Open Letter – March 8, 2022 – “After assessing the damage, it’s clear that the destruction is too great to quickly rebuild and begin production in the near term. Unfortunately, it would take at least 15-18 months before we could resume production. We have not yet decided the future of the Shearer’s Hermiston site.

It is part of a massive overhaul of farm grants, incentivising farmers to protect the environment. Some older farmers are resistant to new “green” methods, Environment Secretary George Eustice believes, and he wants them to move on.“ (110) UK government to pay older farmers to retire BBC 2016 https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-57149744

The UK government admit that in order to meet the Paris Agreement they need to spray the sky with chemicals that reflect sunlight.
“SRM technologies reflect some of the Sun’s energy that reaches Earth back into space. Examples include the brightening of marine clouds and injection of aerosols into the stratosphere”
Since we also signed the Paris agreement, I’m trying to find if Australia has some official documents agreeing to also block out the sun … anyone got it (or want to help find it?)

*** You will own nothing, they will own everything ***
Over-regulating every aspect of our lives, always under the guise of “helping”.. and people always believe it, until they find themselves wearing a mask outdoors riding a bike … (and even then apparently)
For people that don’t know the grand plan to take over the world’s food & seed supply, this may not look like a dangerous bill, but this is exactly the kind of bill needed, to be able to use fake pcr testing on live stock and completely destroy things based on a farce or to force farmers into using the NWO-GMO-foods/lab-created fertilizers and so on… and there’s nothing the farmers will be able to do about it… they’ll think they are contaminated or will have to comply with using “government sanctioned fertilizers and chemicals – even if they don’t want to put that filth on their land.. ” – and be helpless to save their animals and plants … the corruption is out of control in this world, and the bad guys keep moving towards their goals
We Should want our farmers to have access to their water again, without “authorities”… “foreign-controlled-corporation-funded “authorities” over-regulating them for their own agenda… we should want our farmers to have the ability to say no to GMO/NWO/Lab-Made fertilizers, chemicals, and seeds – which has NEVER been tested for safety “apparently if it “looks” like the real thing, that’s good enough”…, and we should want our farmers to be able to say No to GMO-Feed for their livestock when NO safety testing has been done on what that means for the animals…. or what happens to us long-term by consuming it.
The Agricultural Amendment Bill 2022 will devastate our farming state & give corporations complete control over our food security.
Should this bill become law, it will:
- Have a negative impact on farmers.
- Benefit the agrochemical industry.
- Allow the powerful international agrochemical to lobby our politicians and influence decision making here in Victoria.
There are many facets of the Agriculture Legislation Amendment Bill 2022, which are of concern. In particular the area of increasing government and governmental agency power over farmers – for example, new powers granted to ‘authorised officers’ who in exercising their function risk violating farmers’ personal, property and privacy rights.
Surprise visits from ‘authorised officers’ who do not even have to reveal their identity, who can take away their materials, destroy their crops and administer unreasonably large fines could become a reality for Australian farmers if this bill passes. Farmers in this country already have high rates of suicide, with one death every 10 days. Do they really need to work in a more aggressive, regulatory landscape, which potentially jeopardises their physical and mental wellbeing?
Laws that give the government the ability to implement unusual surveillance and control were passed without the general public being aware this was taking place.
“The APVMA is a corporate Commonwealth entity company that was established in 1993 as an independent statutory authority responsible for assessing and registering pesticides and veterinary medicines proposed for supply in Australia…”
This is not a reflection of reality. There is evidence that the so-called independence of regulatory decisions made by the APVMA has been compromised by political donations to Labor and the Coalition. (read full post for many, many examples & references).
What this bill means for farmers:
The Bill sitting in Parliament at this moment is an unusual bill in how it seeks to:
1. Implement a highly regulated surveillance approach to agriculture.
2. Implement an ‘AVPMA approved only’ approach to what farmers and urban farmers like us may use on their crops.
3. Support increased powers of regulation over the old and failing systems of expensive agrochemical inputs into farms.
4. Neglects privacy and/or trespassing protections.
5. Provide chemical suppliers with the ability to refuse financial mediation that bankrupts farmers.
None of these new ‘powers’ will help our farmers’ mental health, their soil health, crop yields, or the nutritional needs of our nation.
Could this bill undermine the regenerative organic approach to chemical-free farming?
Deep-Dive into the bill:
Here are some of the sections to consider;
1- The purpose of the act is to amend the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use) Act 1992 in relation to inspection and enforcement;
Under section 1 (iv)- to make other miscellaneous and consequential amendments.
- What defines miscellaneous?
- Are the inspectors allowed to make up miscellaneous rules as they go?
2- Division 1—Inspection and enforcement powers
In section 4(1) of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use), Act 1992 insert the following definitions-
“inspect, in relation to a power to inspect, includes search; place includes;
(A) ANY LAND; AND
(B) ANY TEMPORARY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE;
What could this mean?
- A complete breach of your privacy and permitting trespassing?
- Does this include private homes and backyards?
- What stops a disgruntled inspector from constantly pursuing and harassing a particular farmer or a group of farmers?
- Does this mean the APVMA Inspectors can also intrude on organically certified farms that sit outside their regulatory authority?
- Are they allowed to shut down organic farms for non-compliance with their scheduled toxic chemicals and pesticides?
54 – Power to enter and inspect
(1) An authorised officer may at any reasonable time enter and inspect any place, other than a place occupied as a residence, and inspect anything found at that place if the authorised officer reasonably suspects that-
(a) any fertiliser or stock food has been, is being or may be manufactured at the place; or
(b) any chemical product, fertiliser or stock food has been, is being or may be sold, kept, stored or prepared for use at the place; or
(c) there is any equipment at the place that has been, is being or may be used in connection with the use or manufacture of a chemical product, fertiliser or stock food; or
(d) there is an aircraft at the place that has been, is being or may be used for aerial spraying; or
(e) agricultural spraying has been, is being or may be carried on at the place; or
(f) there are any contaminated stock or agricultural produce, or plants from which contaminated agricultural produce is likely to be derived, at the place; or
(g) the place has been contaminated by the use of an agricultural chemical product; or
(h) the place is occupied or apparently occupied by a person who holds, or whom the authorised officer reasonably suspects is required to hold, a licence, certificate or permit under this Act, the regulations or an Order under this Act.
(2) An authorised officer may at any reasonable time enter any place, other than a place occupied as a residence if the authorised officer reasonably believes that it is necessary to do so in order to access another place that may be entered under subsection (1).
(3) In exercising any powers under this section, an authorized officer must—
(a) cause as little inconvenience as possible; and
(b) not remain at the place any longer than is reasonably necessary.
What could this mean?
- APVMA has grounds to act outside the scope of its legislative power and confiscate organic inputs, fertilisers or stock food?
- Does this mean a disgruntled farmer or corporation could contaminate a farm in an attempt to cripple the farmer financially?
- If a corporate-owned farm dumps chemicals into a waterway that consequently affects neighbouring farms? Are they also reviewed and potentially fined?
54AC- Announcement on entry
2) If the occupier, apparent occupier, driver or person in charge is not present when an authorised officer exercises a power of entry under this Division, the authorised officer must, on leaving the place, vehicle, vessel or aircraft, leave a notice setting out-
What could this mean?
- The APVMA or authorised officers can enter our farmer’s properties without them being home?
54AD- Persons assisting authorised officer
(1) An authorised officer may request the assistance of any person for the purpose of entry and inspection of a place, vehicle, vessel or aircraft and the taking of any other action under this Division.
What could this mean?
- Any person?
- Does this mean they could engage a local mobster?
- Or a union thug to join them on their enforcement conquest?
54AH- Taking photographs and making recordings, sketches or drawings
An authorised officer may at any reasonable time take photographs, make any audio, visual or audiovisual recordings or make any sketches or drawings.
What could this mean?
- We are legalising spying on farmers?
- Have we not already seen this illegally occur with Sarah Rees
- What would stop an “authorised officer” from taking photos of farmers and their children?
- What would stop an “authorised officer” from blackmailing farmers in the situation that compromising images are taken?
(c) Remove the document for as long as is reasonably necessary to make copies or take extracts.
What could this mean?
- What type of documents? Further, into the legislation, the officer may seek the farmers’ financials without reason or cause.
In section 57(3) of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use) Act 1992, after “produce” insert “in a court of competent jurisdiction as a debt”.
20 Destruction notice
(1) Insert the following heading to section 58 of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use) Act 1992- “Notice to destroy or otherwise deal with chemical products and agricultural produce”.
What could this mean?
- Do the “Authoritarian Officers” administer these regulations on organic farms and agricultural produce?
- What are the thresholds for destruction?
- Is it only chemicals that are administered under the AgVet code?
After section 19(9) of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use), Act 1992 insert—
(10) If there is an approved label for a chemical product at the time of use, a reference in this section to the label is a reference to the approved label for the chemical product at that time (whether or not the approved label is marked on or attached to the package of the chemical product), unless—
(a) the chemical product is used in accordance with written instructions issued by a veterinary practitioner in the course of veterinary practice; or
(b) the chemical product is a prescribed chemical product or is used in prescribed circumstances or both.
What could this mean?
- Organically certified products and labels are included in the scope of the Act?

- (a) insert the following definition— “Secretary means Secretary to the Department;”;
- (b) the definition of chief administrator is repealed;
- (c) for the definition of Department substitute— “Department means Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions;”;
- (d) the definition of Secretary to the Department of Health is repealed.
What could this mean?
- The removal of the Health Department from all chemicals used?
- The inability of the Health Department to determine links between human health and toxic chemicals?
- Shouldn’t the Health Department be made aware of all chemicals used to ensure that they are able to isolate human and animal illnesses?
An authorised officer may, at any time without a warrant, search any parcel, basket, bag, box or receptacle for anything which the authorised officer reasonably believes has been, is being, or is likely to be, used in the importing, keeping, trading or releasing of pest animals or noxious weeds in contravention of this Act, and may do any one or more of the following-
- (a) inspect and take photographs (including video recordings) of anything found during the course of the search;
- (b) with whatever assistance is required, take and keep samples of any of the following found during the course of the search
- (e) seize anything found during the course of the search if the authorised officer believes on reasonable grounds that it is necessary to seize the thing in order to prevent it.
A person is not excused from producing a document or record or answering a question if required to do so under this Part on the ground that the production of the document or record or the response to the question would tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty.
(3) Despite subsection (1), if, before producing a document or record or answering a question required under this Part a natural person claims that the production of the document or record or the response to the question would tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty, the document or record or response is not admissible in evidence against the person in any criminal or civil proceeding, or in any proceeding for the imposition of a penalty other than in a proceeding for an offence under section 84(e).
What could this mean?
- This section means the farmer or person is denied rights to legal counsel.
- The farmer’s property can be searched without a warrant.
- The authorised officer can take what they like.
56 application for authority to cultivate and process low-THC cannabis
(1) For section 62(1) of the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981 substitute—
58 New section 63A inserted After section 63 of the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981 insert-
63A when Secretary must refuse to issue authority
If the Secretary is notified under section 63(3)(c) that the Chief Commissioner of Police opposes the issuing of the authority, the Secretary must not issue the authority.”
The entire section through to section 80 sets a very concerning precedent that allows the Chief Police commissioner the power to overrule the secretary, whilst allowing the Chief Police Commissioner the ability to suppress the decision by way of “protected information”.

This bill means many things to our food supply. One is if they decide that there is some ‘potential health risk’ in growing your own food or raising your own chickens, they can come onto your property without warning and forcibly rip it all out.
Another commenter wrote this:
The proposed amendments to the Agriculture Legislation Amendment Bill 2022 if passed, will affect freedoms for all people and agricultural practises. Posing a direct threat to our freedom to produce food to sustain ourselves and our livestock ultimately.
Changes to the ‘authorised officer’ definition to include ‘police’ give frightening overreaching authority.
- Increased penalties from $3,000 to $10,000 issued by these officers without the necessity to prove negligence threaten our freedoms to exist as sovereign beings – in direct conflict with common law freedoms.
- Imposed regulation around livestock vaccination will eventually lead to mRNA technologies entering the food chain.
- State government is creating additional markets and avenues to further allow these experimental drugs (with growing evidence of harm and unknown long term human health consequences) to unwittingly enter the bodies of unsuspecting Victorians.
- An attempt to justify and create additional markets for its newly purchased mRNA research and development plant that is the largest producer of mRNA technologies – the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere?
- Where does it stop?
- How can these proposed amendments be instigated without any form of industry or public consultation?
Collusion, corruption and corporate control is now a well trodden pattern in Victoria.
This bill is 183 pages long so few have the time to understand the implications.
Some say this bill is to protect big Ag chemical corporations.
Farmers are seeing our soil degrade and unable to sustain growth without increasing chemical inputs.
In contrast, the chemical free future of Regenerative agriculture, healthy soil, carbon draw down and safe organic foods for our farmers and our homes looks pretty exciting.
Andrews government will be coming after agriculture next. The Agriculture Legislation Amendment Bill 2022 has had it’s second reading in parliament.
- Biosecurity being the stated reason for changes. Increased enforcement powers, searching of property and persons without warrant.
- Increased fines, what was $1800 now $10,000 for providing false or misleading info.
- Landholder consent no longer required for Authorised Officers to take samples, stock (animals), documents.
- Authorised Officers no longer required to present identification. Heavy penalties for obstructing entry to the property.
(Wait, but why? So you dont know who to complain about? To increase fear? Are they getting ready to be deployed to shut down farms?)
Here are just a few examples from The Agriculture Legislation Amendment Bill 2022, Explanatory Memorandum:
- Authorised Officers no longer required to present identification:
- New section 53(4) of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use) Act 1992 creates an exception to the requirement under new section 53(3) for an authorised officer to produce their identity card. The exception provides that an authorised officer is not required to produce their identity card in exercising a power if the request is unreasonable in the circumstances, or the power is exercised by post or electronic communication…
- Heavy penalties for obstructing entry to the property:
- New section 54J of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use) Act 1992 creates an offence of failure to comply with the requirements of an authorised officer. The provision provides that a person commits an offence if without reasonable excuse, the person fails or refuses to comply with a requirement of an authorised officer under the Act. The maximum penalty for this offence is in the case of a corporation 100 penalty units and in any other case 50 penalty units…
- Increased fines, what was $1800 now $10.000 for providing false or misleading info:
- New section 54L of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use) Act 1992 creates an offence of false and misleading conduct or information. A person commits the offence if the person provides any information or produces any document or engages in any other conduct towards an authorised officer while they are performing a function or exercising a power, if the person knows that the information or conduct is or the document contains information that is false, or misleading in a material particular. The maximum penalty for this offence is in the case of a corporation 100 penalty units and in any other case 50 penalty units. Section 72A of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use) Act 1992 applies to the new offence, meaning that, if a body corporate commits the offence, officers of the body corporate also commit the offence.
Most concerning, they are putting in place laws which would allow them to charge you the money it cost them to destroy your own food supply:
- Clause 20 makes miscellaneous amendments to section 58 of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use) Act 1992 to clarify and modify the provision in relation to debt recovery and broaden the scope of the directions that may be included in a destruction notice. These amendments provide that a notice may, in addition to dealing with the destroying of chemical products, fertiliser, stock food, agricultural produce, plants or stock, also provide for otherwise dealing with the thing by alternatives means such as recycling.

The corporate push for synthetic foods
Fully artificial food is an increasingly popular trend focused on developing a new line of synthetically produced, ultra-processed food products by using recent advances in synthetic biology, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. These new products seek to imitate and replace animal products, food additives, and expensive, rare, or socially conflictive ingredients (such as palm oil). Biotech companies and agribusiness giants are seeing the opportunity to move into this promising market of “green” consumption and hence these products are marketed to a new generation of environmentally conscious consumers who are growing critical of the grim realities of industrial food production. As a result, meatless burgers and sausages, as well as imitations of cheese, dairy products, seafood, and others, have begun to flood the market, being found anywhere from fast food chains to local grocery stores.

Today the flag bearer is Bill Gates. In a nutshell: one billionaire given free access to use his wealth to bypass all international treaties and multilateral governance structures to help global corporations hijack the biodiversity and wealth of peasants by financing unscientific and undemocratic processes such as DivSeek, and to unleash untested technologies such as the CRISPR technology on humanity.” – Jan 11, 2020 (141) One Empire Over Seed: Control Over the World’s Seed Banks – Jan 11, 2020 https://regenerationinternational.org/2020/11/01/one-empire-over-seed-control-over-the-worlds-seed-banks/

- In January 2020, a new initiative announced by the Gates foundation called “The Bill & Melinda Gates Agricultural Innovations LLC”, or “Gates Ag One” in short was launched. Gates Ag One was formulated to be a subsidiary of the Gates Foundation and is to be led by Joe Cornelius, the previous director of the BMGF Global Growth & Opportunity Division. It is interesting to note that Cornelius came from being the former food, nutrition and technology development executive at Bayer Crop Science, following his previous position, in the 1990s, as Director for International Development at Monsanto – (note: Monsanto = Pfizer) (note: GMO foods = Eugenics)(145) Monsanto = Pfizer (146) GMO foods = Eugenics (147) Gates Ag One – Colonisation of Agriculture ~ navdanya (PDF) https://navdanyainternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/GATES-AG-ONE.pdf

- 2010: The fact that Ag One will be based in St. Louis, Missouri USA, home of Monsanto and other GMO and pesticide giants, is not a coincidence.

Agriculture, as the basis of human existence, can no longer be reduced to traditional farming; it must be innovative, intelligent, more productive and profitable, and at the same time sustainable.” “The alliance will contribute to the development and application of technological tools for the agricultural sector in the continent, to promote the digital transformation of the sector.” (152) 2018 – Microsoft and IICA signed an agreement to promote the use of technology in agriculture http://solocampo.com.ar/index/microsoft-e-iica-firmaron-un-acuerdo-para-potenciar-el-uso-de-tecnologia-en-el-agro/
- 2020 Navdanya has done a few well-researched reports laying out Gates’s takeover of the Agricultural industry with his “scientific technologies”.

- The world economic forum just posted this with the title ‘a taste of what’s to come’. If it’s not bugs and beetles they want you to eat, it’s 3D printed meat! Globalists have found a way to put farmers out of business, and make billions using a 3D-Printer and harvesting cells from a living cow. They grow ‘building blocks’ of meat in petri dishes, such as muscle and fat to give the same ‘texture’ as a real ribeye. wef.ch/uplink (159) WEF – a Taste of what’s to come

Action Track 2 of the Summit is EAT, an organisation linked to the World Economic Forum, with partners such as Nestlé and Danone, both leaders in the production of ultra-processed foods. The recommendations of the action plan come directly from the EAT-Lancet report “Food in the Anthropocene: the EAT-Lancet Commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems”. This is a highly controversial report because, while on the one hand it calls for sustainability and the transformation of food systems through the promotion of ‘healthy diets’, on the other hand it glosses over the direct role of industrial and chemical agriculture in creating unsustainable and unhealthy food systems.
