Before beginning let me reiterate that the supply crisis we are reporting on cannot be explained by incompetence or even horrid policy, it is by design. There simply is no other explanation.

On top the unprecedented amount of food manufacturing and processing plants being destroyed by "accidental" fires, leaks and in two cases planes crashing into them, bird flu, and supply shortages due to war, we are now seeing reports of the upcoming projected shortages and inflation due to the prolonged droughts right here in America.

Sometimes a visualization can say so much more than hundreds or even thousands of words can, so below is the updated drought map from U.S. Drought Monitor, along with the color guide as to the severity levels across the United States.

I would like to note that it was Steve Quayle, once again way ahead of the curve, who predicted what we are witnessing today in his film "Megadrought – The Annihilation of the Human Race Accelerates, which we highly recommend.

UPCOMING FOOD SHORTAGES AND INFLATION

We'll start with the headline news about the cost of ground beef, to which the experts aka the ranchers themselves, are predicting extraordinarily high price increases.
