⚡ 🇨🇵 France in chaos again. Paris blockaded by French farmers
What started as a grassroots rally in mid-January has turned into a full-blown siege of the capital. Today, French farmers are threatening to blockade Paris to make their voices heard.
Agricultural unions are planning to block seven motorways leading into Paris. Between 1,500 and 2,500 tractors will take part in the blockade. The protesters want to disrupt the city's food supply "for at least 5 days, which will make it clear to Parisians that they need farmers".
While the French government cuts their money to finance Ukraine, cheap Ukrainian agricultural products flood their market and destroy their prices.
What are the farmers' main demands of the government?
▪️Adequate relief from rising fuel prices;
▪️Reduce cheap food imports from Ukraine;
▪️Denounce current agricultural policies that are damaging the EU economy;
▪️Tackling water scarcity;
▪️Reducing excessive bureaucracy (both in France and in the EU).
What counter-measures has the government announced?
🔹15,000 police officers mobilized to protect Paris, Rungis and the two main airports (Orly and Roissy-Charles de Gaulle);
🔹 the use of armored vehicles and helicopters against demonstrators if food markets and airports are occupied.

Police in Winona Minnesota are stunned after every single one of their Flock cameras were suddenly removed in a single night.
According to the police department, all 8 of the town's cameras were cut down and hauled away.
Police are asking for the public's help to identify the individual, but the public has been responding with comments such as:
"The Flock cameras tore themselves down"
"Whoever did it, was fishing with me"
"Whoever it was, was at Bible study with me"

US diesel crack surpasses $100 a barrel for the first time on supply disruptions
... and the supply of refined fuels is already nearly exhausted. A hard landing is visible ahead, for farmers, for trucking, and ... well, for everything that requires food (people) and energy (the entire economy).
These are very likely the final days of relative normalcy during which to prepare. Get ready.
🌾 🌍 🚜 JPMorgan warns a massive global food supply crisis could begin next year as fertilizer shortages tighten agricultural supply.
JPMorgan is the latest institutional research desk to warn that the next global food crisis may already be taking shape, driven by what its analysts describe as the "Five Ws": War, Weather, Warehousing, Water, and Waste.
In a new report titled Food Security Is National Security: A Compounding Storm, a team led by London-based senior global economist Nora Szentivanyi warned that disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz and the emergence of a potentially historic El Niño could weaken crop yields, constrain agricultural production, and keep food inflation elevated through the first half of 2027.
"Successive shocks since COVID have compounded, eroding food production capacity and keeping food price pressures elevated into 2027," Szentivanyi said, warning that "this is not a short-lived shock; it has reduced the likelihood of near-term disinflation, and the food ...
