The control of food for use as a weapon is an ancient practice. The House of Windsor inherited certain routes and infrastructure.
One finds the practice in ancient Babylon/Mesopotamia 4,000 years ago. In Greece, the cults of Apollo, Demeter and Rhea-Cybele often controlled the shipment of grain and other food through the temples. In Imperial Rome, the control of grain became the basis of the empire.
Rome was the center. Conquered outlying colonies in Gaul, Brittany, Spain, Sicily, Egypt, North Africa and the Mediterranean which had to ship grain to the noble Roman families, as taxes and tribute. Often, the grain tax was greater than the land could bear, and areas of North Africa, for instance, were turned into dust bowls.
The evil city-state of Venice took over grain routes, particularly after the Fourth Crusade (1202–1204). The main, 13th-century Venetian, trading routes had their eastern termini in Constantinople, the ports of the Oltremare (which were the lands of the crusading states), and Alexandria, Egypt.
Goods from these ports were shipped to Venic, and, from there, made their way up the Po Valley to markets in Lombardy, or over the Alpine passes to the Rhône and into France. Eventually, Venetian trade extended to the Mongol empire in the East.
By the 15th century, although Venice was still very much a merchant empire, it had franchised some of its grain and other trade to the powerful Burgundian duchy, whose effective headquarters was Antwerp.
This empire, encompassing parts of France, extended from Amsterdam and Belgium to much of present-day Switzerland. From this Venetian-Lombard-Burgundian nexus, each of the food cartel’s six leading grain companies was either founded or inherited a substantial part of its operations today.
By the 18th and 19th centuries, the British Levant and East India companies had absorbed many of these Venetian operations. In the 19th century, the London-based Baltic Mercantile and Shipping Exchange became the world’s leading instrument for contracting for and shipping grain.
Ten to 12 pivotal companies, assisted by another three dozen, run the world’s food supply. They are the key components of the Anglo-Dutch-Swiss-American cartel, which is grouped around the two families.
Led by the six leading grain companies, this food and raw materials cartel has complete domination over the world’s cereals and grains supplies, from wheat to oats and corn, from barley to sorghum and rye. But it also controls meat, dairy, edible oils and fats, fruits and vegetables, sugar, and all forms of spices.
Each year, tens of millions die from the most elementary lack of their daily bread. This is the result of the work of the BAC cartel. And, as the ongoing financial collapse wipes out bloated speculative financial paper, the oligarchy has moved into hoarding, increasing its food and raw materials holdings. It is prepared to apply a tourniquet to food production and export supplies, not only to poor nations but to advanced sector nations as well.
Today, food warfare is firmly under the control of London and New York. Today’s food companies were created by having had a section of this ancient set of Mesopotamian-Roman-Venetian-British food networks and infrastructure carved out for them.
The oligarchy has built up a single, integrated, raw materials cartel, with three divisions: energy, raw materials and increasingly scarce food supplies.
Let The Poor Court The Rich
“What game theory character have you become?”
Your non-fitness standards (mind, body, spirit) in life have become our new fitness standards.
In game theory, this would be called our new “survival mechanism.”
It is a high time preference form of living — meaning, more consumption, random decision-making, false hope on institutional thought — and will deliver a mediocre lifestyle and shorter life span.
Low time preference forms of living — meaning, less consumption, intentional decision-making — and a longer life span are going to require a new form of critical thinking that most people cannot do or do not realize they need to develop.
“Let the poor court the rich for a living; and that under their protection they may enjoy a sluggish tranquility; and let the rich abuse the poor as their dependents, to minister to their pride. Let the people applaud not those who protect their interest, but those who provide them with pleasure.”
Our society today is living in a game that they did not realize had been designed and it started several years ago. Game theory and evolution was written about by John Maynard Smith in 1982.
In his book, “Evolution and the Theory of Games,” the theory of games, first developed to analyze economic behavior, is modified so that it can be applied to evolving populations. His concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy is relevant whenever the best thing to do for an animal or plant depends on what others are doing. The theory leads to testable predictions about the evolution of behavior, sex and genetic systems, and growth and life history patterns. His book contains a full account of the theory, and the data relevant to it.
“Let the people applaud not those who protect their interest, but those who provide them with pleasure. Let no severe duty be commanded, no impurity forbidden.”
As we create data with every step we take, we are being profiled in a way that is not fully understood and has never been achieved before. Much of the data mining and analysis that is being done on a personal level, which in turn creates your online profile, which leads to your purchasing and behavioral identity is a new frontier.
It is believed that some of the AI algorithms being used are front-running any decision-making abilities of the engineers and scientists that created them. The smart grid you are participating in has created a cloud around you.
We are going to talk about one aspect of this smart grid, our food consumption in the United States. It is apparent and often censored that we are in the worst health crisis the world has ever seen and it has many afflictions. These would include obesity, diabetes and heart disease to name a few. Each one of these health issues is created by food consumption purchased from the global industrial food complex.
Our food that we are consuming is killing us and it is being done with world-class marketing and the power of the fiat dollar with expert data mining and analysis. Our government, global corporations and investment firms are designing this form of game theory. You are being profiled by your food consumption and your desire to search for taste, convenience and comfort. You are a game character.
“Let kings estimate their prosperity, not by the righteousness, but by the servility of their subjects. Let the provinces stand loyal to the kings, not as moral guides, but as lords of their possessions and purveyors of their pleasures; not with a hearty reverence, but a crooked and servile fear.”
As we try to survive, the new survival guide relies on mass consumption of processed and nutrient weak food, a pharmaceutical industry that keeps designing and pumping out medicines and pills that create dependency and addiction rather than a cure that leads to better health. With this high time preference form of living, our health industry has become reactive rather than proactive. We are continuously placing band-aids on our appetites and our physical, emotional and mental health.
Our food laws and regulations are designed to be deceptive and misleading. As we yearn to rise above the madness of the world, we become a realm of pleasure that has been engineered in a way that has created a cloud and a shield of self-indulgence and sabotage.
“Let the laws take cognizance rather of the injury done to another man’s property, than of that done to one’s own person. If a man be a nuisance to his neighbor, or injure his property, family, or person, let him be actionable; but in his own affairs let everyone with impunity do what he will in company with his own family, and with those who willingly join him.”
As we have moved into the digital and virtual world, we have willingly inserted a form of surveillance into our personal property. We have not injected it, but we carry it everywhere. It’s the first item that we touch in the morning and the last thought before we go to bed. We take it with us to the bathroom and the dinner table. We can even purchase one that can be used while we are submerged in water.
Our smartphones are transmitting who we are every second of every day. It creates a profile about us that knows us better than we know ourselves. It is a pleasure addiction that delivers mass amounts of emotions, thoughts and actionable behaviors. Most of them were designed in an engineering lab in Silicon Valley, Chinese labs, and the U.S. intelligence apparatus. Not only do we have these pocket trackers but also we have designed our homes to be broadcast networks of our personal lives. From the Internet of Things to Internet of Behaviors, 5G, and every digital voice assistant you could ever want.
This type of lifestyle has allowed us to drown out our suffering and gives us a false sense of empowerment and luxury. Once again, all in the name of convenience and comfort. What a wonderful web that keeps us secure and warm and above all well fed in our world where famine kills millions each year because of our centralized, corporate and government greed.
“Let there be a plentiful supply of public prostitutes for everyone who wishes to use them, but especially for those who are too poor to keep one for their private use. Let there be erected houses of the largest and most ornate description; in these let there be provided the most sumptuous banquets, where every one who pleases may, by day or night, play, drink, vomit, dissipate. Let there be everywhere heard the rustling of dancers, the loud, immodest laughter of the theatre; let a succession of the most cruel and the most voluptuous pleasures maintain a perpetual excitement.”
But we, now as a society, are not allowed to say anything. We are told to follow along and do not disrespect or shame people that are being misled by this system. There is no angle to use to try to inform others that there is an issue. You are a game character in a game you didn’t choose to play but were snatched out of your current reality and formulated to be led down a path in which has created a false reality .
Growing up close to agriculture I see the similarities between how Bitcoin is built from the ground up just like a harvest is done. How the plebs running their nodes are the same as how ranchers interact with one another and the land to increase and strengthen their community. And ultimately, knowing the source of your seed increases the positive benefit of knowing the truth about your food intelligence. Food intelligence is now the Beef Initiative — bitcoin is the store of value for the farmer or rancher, he just doesn’t realize it.
This idea is about our children’s lives. It has everything to do with grain, and beef. The grain supply, poison it is, has been used to fuel the fiat deception of the beef industry. Bitcoin once again is a chance to decentralize the monetary system in order to revitalize the beef industry.
The vision is to decentralize the beef industry across the state of Texas and the U.S. — then around the globe.
It is time to “Mine Your Protein” in a new way.
“We cannot force anyone to hear a message they are not willing to receive, but we must never underestimate the power of the seed.”
