We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz throws the global fertilizer market into a frenzy: roughly 33% of global fertilizer exports—including urea, ammonia, and sulphur—pass through the strait. For urea:
- Qatar (~13% of global exports)
- Saudi Arabia (~11%)
- Iran (~10%, and recently shut down completely due to the conflict)
- Oman (~8%)
- UAE (~4%)
In 2024 China slashed its urea exports by 83% YoY due to new export restrictions.
The net effect of these is that about 40% of the world nitrogen fertilizer supply is suddenly no longer available for export, which has traders at major importers (India, Brazil) panic buying to secure theirs.
Not only does this translate to very real impact on food supply and prices — it conveniently aligns with the WEF/UN agenda to "reduce nitrogen pollution..."

The World Microbiome Partnership (WMP) is an international forum founded in 2023 with funding from the EU Horizon 2020 to create a governance structure for microbiome manipulation across agriculture, medicine, and climate policy.
The WMP is aligned with the One Health and Planetary Health agendas (the same ones behind both the EAT-Lancet commissions "Planetary Health Diet" and the UN's Food Systems Summit that promises to eliminate animal agriculture).
WMP participants include the WHO, the CDC, NIH, and biotech firms. They promote the idea that microbial communities must be governed like other strategic assets.
The key thing to understand is that the technocrats are reframing the microbiome as critical infrastructure: more like an energy grid or communication network than a sacred, living ecosystem.
As biotech companies deploy platforms to build GMO microbes to do everything from "manufacturing", to biomarkers, to surveillance — the WMP seeks control of these novel systems, ...
A court in Vienna has caused a storm after confirming that a financial ruling based on Islamic law, or Sharia, is legally valid in Austria.
Critics say the judgment opens the door to “parallel justice” and undermines the country’s legal system.
The case began when two Muslim men agreed that any disputes between them would be settled by an Islamic arbitration panel using Sharia rules.
When a disagreement arose, the tribunal ordered one of them to pay €320,000. He refused, arguing that Sharia is open to different interpretations and goes against Austria’s core values.
But the Vienna Regional Court dismissed his appeal. Judges said Austrian law allows people to choose arbitration systems for financial and property disputes, as long as the result does not break Austria’s “fundamental legal values.”
The court added that it was not its role to examine whether Sharia itself was fair, but only whether the outcome contradicted Austrian law.
The ruling has sparked fierce criticism. Manfred ...
