50 million bison once roamed the US.
But by the end of the 19th century, there were only a few hundred.
A thread on the control of food in the Great Plains and parallels to today.

2/ The story begins with US settlers expanding west into the Great Plains in the 19th century.
There they encountered several Native American tribes and the bison.
The Native American's relationship with bison was strong, relying on them for tents, clothing, food, and more.

3/ As Americans settled in the Great Plains, there were some disagreements...
Americans wanted to build infrastructure such as railways.
The Natives wished to be left alone on their land.
To get what the Americans wanted, they would have to get the Natives off the land.

4/ Battles & bloodshed ensued, but ultimately, the US Gov decided there was a better way to accomplish its aims.
By decimating the bison population.
By eliminating their food source, the US could coerce the Natives to live a docile life on the reservation.

5/ The 2 men tasked with the job were former Major Generals of the Civil War, Phillip Sheridan and William Tecumseh Sherman.
Both of them had experience in "Scorched Earth" tactics.
"Sherman knew that as long as Sioux hunted buffalo, they'd never surrender to life with a plow."

"Sherman knew that as long as Sioux hunted buffalo, they'd never surrender to life with a plow."
6/ And in October 1868, Sheridan wrote to Sherman that their best hope to control the Native Americans was to βmake them poor by the destruction of their stock, and then settle them on the lands allotted to them.β
7/ So that is what they did.
The US Army organized extravagant hunting trips to draw interest in destroying the bison population.
Eventually, the government achieved the political agenda.
The number of bison fell to fewer than 400 before the end of the 1800s.

8/ As we know well today, the US Gov was successful in confiscating the land from Natives.
But now you know how it was done - by control of their food.
Understanding that there is historical precedent for controlling a population with food, let us fast forward to the present.

9/ There is another attack on food.
This time not concentrated in the Great Plains, but globally.
It's not a bloody massacre of animals but rather a propaganda campaign.
Spearheaded by the WEF Great Reset Agenda.

10/ Just as bison were slaughtered ruthlessly for political aims, so too are cows demonized socially for political aims.
Cows are not being shot by the thousands, but there is a political agenda to reduce the amount of cows grazing pasture.

11/ Cows are vilified for their contribution to the "climate emergency."
And thus, globalists are calling for a reduction in cow emissions.
For instance, the Netherlands now aims to reduce nitrogen by 50% by 2030.

12/ To cut nitrogen by 50%, livestock count must be reduced by a minimum 30%.
And a reduction in herd size will bankrupt many farmers, allowing the Gov to confiscate their land.
This will cause food shortages and famine across the world.
And give Gov more control of the food.

13/ Sri Lanka is one step ahead of the Netherlands.
In 2021, the Gov banned chemical fertilizer from complying w emissions policy.
Fertilizer shortage caused a food shortage in 2022.
And now, the country has collapsed due to food and energy insecurity.

14/ But why would the ruling class want this?
History would suggest to control the population.
Globalists can consolidate control over food systems by bankrupting farmers & confiscating their land.
In the name of a "climate emergency," they can take away beef & give you bugs.

15/ If you are just awakening from your pod, the "climate emergency" is just another "ESG" power grab.
It is a way to control capital allocation, especially in food & energy markets, masquerading as a social good.

16/ The globalists like Bill Gates want to push their high margin, chemical "plant-based" and bug sludge onto you.
Making them richer and giving them more power over the food systems.
Those chemicals will also cause illnesses that require Pharma products to cure.

17/ And as they control the new food supply of bugs and plants, the beef prices will continue to become artificially high.
This year alone, beef prices are approx. 20% higher due to money printing, higher input costs, and supply chain disruptions.

18/ In case you don't believe me...
Will Harris, a 4th-generation cattleman at White Oak Pasture, said, "The food shortage that I'm expecting fairly soon will be intentionally created. It will be aΒ supply shortage, as opposed to aΒ real food shortage."

19/ The situation is dire.
But you don't have to eat the bugs.
You can shake the hand of your local farmers and ranchers.
The relationship provides your rancher with a reliable source of income and provides you with reliable high-quality animal protein.

20/ Given the current state of the world, this is one of the necessary actions to build a sound life for you and your family.
There is no predicting what comes next, but you will be at peace knowing you have buffered yourself from the attack on the global food system.
