Water wars

china
China has less agricultural land available per person, then Saudi Arabia and started hording food months ago 70% world grain reserves (Did Putin warn China a year ago that he would invade Ukraine?) (https://archive.ph/4QIsg). Egypt and most of the world has only three months of food reserves, China has eighteen months. https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/chinas-northeastern-black-soil-grain-field-alarmingly-depleted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNMlIZbz49s China could run out of water by Feb 2023

The landmass of China has over 90,000 dams that weren't properly maintained due to Deng Xiaoping's push for rapid development, the Three Gorges dam for example is basically a huge heap of concrete plastered on top of the bedrock, it wasn't anchored with rebar. In 25 years, 28000 rivers have vanished: cheap goods are coming to end. Each dam is the personal fiefdom of a CCP member, maximizing his personal gain by not allowing for example dam overflows to be channeled to his dam. Each rainy season, excess water breaches these dams, flooding the crops: we are heading for food shortages, but the governments of the world don't want to cause panic by alerting us to it. Ammonia prices have risen over 1000% resulting in shortages of urea fertilizer, because the Democrats are doing everything in their power to prevent oil and natural gas production. Natural gas is the main feedstock for nitrogen. Skipping one cycle of urea fertilizer results in a 40% reduction in corn yield, the main feed for cattle. Large mega farm corporations in the US couldn't secure enough urea, it wasn't available at any price. Bill Gates acquired vast tracts of land using proxies at auctions, his ownership could eventually not be kept under wraps.

"Organic" manure based fertilizer won't work because it pivots atop the industrial base of nitrogen production. It is a carbon based container of nitrogen, as opposed to a purer commercial bag of urea based nitrogen: cow manure, like Wind energy turbines and solar panels aren't perpetual motion machines. Ultimately you need a source of energy to suck the nitrogen out of the air, with only a percentage of such energy converted to electric energy. http://harmful.cat-v.org/science/organic-food "....Other than salt and water, pretty much all food is organic, making the term both redundant and meaningless. The movement for “organic” food is a textbook example of the naturalistic fallacy at a social scale. Similarly to so called fair trade, its claims are difficult to falsify because both the premises and the expected outcomes are so fuzzily and vaguely defined. The use of words like “fair”, “organic” and “natural” don’t have any rational and scientific purpose and are intended only to elicit emotional responses...." All food is made with two primary mineral elements in the periodic table Potassium and Phosphate, Nitrogen is a gas. There is a Zeno and Sorites type paradox with the warm fuzzy "earthiness" we get with "organic" transitioning from raw phosphate rock(Zeno and Sorites paradox solved, Descartes failed syllogism).

Poor environmental regulations, weak enforcement and local corruption mean that factories can discharge their wastewater directly into rivers and lakes. What’s more, many hazardous chemicals that are restricted or banned completely in Europe and elsewhere are not regulated in China. These chemicals have already been recognized as having serious threats to the environment and health, but in China they can still be used in large quantities and without oversight. https://borgenproject.org/10-facts-about-water-pollution/ https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/e265132b7e984c0081f4422618ce818d https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/coming-removal-mandate-heaven-part-3-political-infighting and archive https://archive.ph/AS6RS part 3

Water is an unseen, vital input for all economic activity. Beyond agriculture, water is critical for power generation, mining, industry and the consumer products we rely on every single day. Like the estimated 3000 gallons of water that it takes to make the typical smartphone. https://readyforclimate.org/reports/water-crisis-in-china/ China’s economy is structurally deficient in water resources and electric power. Profound impacts on global supply chains as China’s economy struggles to adjust Structural deficiency raises risks of a near term economic hard landing in China See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJEs-28CD0E channel adapt2030 Russia stopped weat exports and fertilizer. Ukraine's invasion spiked gas futures by 40% in Europe, electricity prices are around ZAR5.4, ZA's rates is R2.50 on average.

Global warming prevented the hedge funds from investing the funds we need to prevent oil spiking to $140 as with the 2008 crash. Even if they were to invest the funds tomorrow, it will take six years at the earliest for the energy to come on line. Peter Zeihan(see Libgen dot info) estimates that two billion people will die of starvation over the next twenty years and that five million barrels of Russian oil will eventually be permanently removed from the market because they don't have the means of maintaining the wells, as the US oil services companies left and aren't coming back. Millions will starve in 2023 around the world, as there is no fertilizer, the ANC stalling solar and wind power prevents Sasol from expanding its domestic fertilizer production with coal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMxE7fQPpvI China will lose 1.5mil barrels of oil as African oil is diverted to Europe who will essentially start recolonizing Africa. China, like Russia had delusions of power. Their wheat was harvested 45days to early because they know that West African oil is about to be cut off. The crop was harvested green and is only suitable for animal fodder. Worsening the situation is that they are not getting their pig production back to normal and will need to transition to rice which needs a lot of Peak phosphate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erONP33MBlA (published Feb 2021, the prediction on food purchasing spree have realized) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsJM5NBsPcI published Apr.2022. The largest floods in the last 400 years are beginning to overwhelm China's central cities and surrounding grain growing and agriculture zones. At present 100+ million people will need to evacuate. With the unfathomable losses of food production, China will need to go on a buying spree unlike the world has ever seen for food imports. This will start with rice from Asia and move to every continent. The images in the video will give you an idea of the situation, and the precarious events our world will witness. Gold, silver, cryptocurrency, how will China pay for it all? China didn't build the dams for flood control but electricity generation.

https://archive.ph/IMWmh (20 oct 2022) I am trying to sound the alarm about this as loudly as I can. The global food crisis just continues to intensify, and things are going to get really bad in 2023. As you will see below, two-thirds of European fertilizer production has already been shut down, currency problems are causing massive headaches for poor nations that need to import food, global weather patterns continue to be completely crazy, and the bird flu is killing millions upon millions of chickens and turkeys all over the planet. On top of everything else, the war in Ukraine is going to restrict the flow of agricultural and fertilizer exports from that part of the world for a long time to come, because there is no end to the war in sight. In essence, we are facing a “perfect storm” for global food production, and that “perfect storm” is only going to get worse in the months ahead.

https://www.yara.com/news-and-media/news/archive/news-2022/war-and-food-crisis-in-europe/ Russia and Ukraine are world powers in a global and fragile food system. The long-term consequences of the war on global food supply will impact both the rich and the poor parts of the world. It is essential to reduce the dependency on Russia. Ukraine is one of the world’s leading agricultural nations and the world’s second biggest within grains. The farmers are now entering a crucial stage in the agricultural season in which input factors such as fertilizer, seeds and water will determine the yield of the coming harvest. The most extreme calculations indicate that if fertilizer is not added to the soil, the crops can be reduced by 50% by the next harvest. In addition to being one of the largest producers of wheat, Russia has enormous resources in terms of nutrients. Plants need nitrogen, phosphate, and potash to grow. Nitrogen is supplied from ammonia, which is produced from nitrogen from air and natural gas. The importance of gas has been on the agenda in the debate around the high European gas prices in 2021 and beginning of 2022

https://archive.ph/ijNZj Trudeau’s fertilizer ‘ban’ threatens to create a food crisis, Spectator Australia. The Dutch and Canadian governments do actually have a point in attempting to ban nitrogen from being dumped into the soil(global warming is the pretext, the real problem is water and peak phosphate). It leads to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutrophication of our rivers and dams. The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartbeespoort_Dam is unusable for agriculture(the main problem being raw sewage pollution not agricultural runoff). We need closed loop meat production with greenhouses. Our water situation is so severe, that it should be clear that large cattle based farming and distant consumption is not sustainable: the phosphate from the black water must be recycled and to do this you need huge amounts or either nuclear, solar or wind energy(solar and wind won't work where 80% of earth's population lives).

Eighty percent of mankind lives where solar and wind won't work, neither transmission of the energy because the copper and steel isn't available and even if it were the power lines can't cross all the internal boundaries in the US for example because each land owner must give permission. Seventy five percent of countries depend on nitrogen imports, Russia as the largest exporter will be isolated for years to come, reduced to exporting limited commodities. Which is the few that will be left, western banks had to write off $1trillion in investments. Their supply of high tech has been cut and probably won't be restored to prevent them from developing their own Hymars.

In this new global order of deindustrialization, the 80% stuck in windless and sunless plains would have to migrate to where they can setup their own solar or wind energy. South Africa and Ethiopia are obvious destinations, but migration from Europe won't be allowed by their respective governments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfvfHX-ZECM Analyst Graham Stephan's premise in the video is that history repeats itself and it doesn't: history isn't a force but an effect. We have an energy fiasco on our hands that cannot be resolved by drilling for more oil as the labor isn't there, lead times too long and the hedge funds don't want to allow it(Global warming). In the past the markets recovered because the energy was there, this time around it won't happen. Or at least not for the next 30 years(Zeihan). Russia has subsidized socialist and punitive income redistribution for the past thirty years and kept a lid on global inflation: 50% of South African taxes are spent on salaries, in the US over 70% is spent on social programs. The nuclear power stations,harbors, railways, etc. that should have been built with China's economic push and destruction of their water weren't done, it is to late now to import all the transformers, cables etc. It physically won't be available as China implodes over the next ten years.

German voters shut down all sixteen their nuclear(three left in operation) power reactors(Greenpeace was infiltrated by the KGB(FSB) according to Zeihan). Democracy allows the majority to refuse small modular nuclear reactors(pebble bed) for black water recycling and the majority is always wrong about almost everything, everyone though pays the price. -- https://fuelsupply.news/ As Germany’s natural gas supply runs dry, major corporations that use it such as chemical giant BASF are having to pay more for what they can get while also drastically cutting production. BASF reportedly had to pay an additional 800 million euros (about $809.5 million) in the second quarter compared to a year earlier while slashing output of ammonia, which requires large amounts of gas in order to produce. --- https://archive.ph/PKCPf 14 July 2022 Like in many parts of the world, harvests underway in eastern Europe have suffered from a fertilizer crisis -- and things could get worse. That’s according to Hungarian producer Nitrogenmuvek Zrt, which sees grain yields falling 15% to 20% this year in a region that includes major European exporters Romania and Poland. Farmers have cut nutrient usage due to high prices and supply issues, at a time when dryness has also threatened crops. Fertilizers have become more expensive as a rally in natural gas -- a crucial feedstock -- raised costs and cut output. Sanctions on Belarusian potash and China’s move to rein in shipments have added to the crunch. That in turn is threatening global crop supplies that have been strained by the war in the breadbasket nation of Ukraine. - https://www.world-grain.com/articles/17207-fertilizer-prices-sharply-higher-year-over-year

Zeihan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai6OOQrt7_o Peter Zeihan is a geopolitical strategist and the author of four books, including most recently, The End of the World is Just the Beginning. In this episode, Peter talks about the civil unrest – and pending demographic collapse -- in China, why “Apple has refused to see the writing on the wall” in China, Mexico as America’s most important trading partner, why he is investing in commodities, and why -- despite the unraveling now underway in many parts of the world -- he believes “the American system will thrive.” (Recorded December 2, 2022.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRT7P-VKM0k The world is changing faster than ever, and a lot of the countries, dynamics, peace treaties and structures we're familiar with may be about to come to an end. Peter's job consists of him analysing data from geography, demographics, and global politics to understand economic trends and make predictions. And if his predictions are correct, the next 50 years are going to look incredibly different. Expect to learn why China will lose half of it's population by 2050, why globalisation is coming to an end even though we're more connected than ever, why population demographics are one of the most important factors in determining the future, whether automation will help or hinder us, whether food shortages are actually something to panic about and much more...  It will take at least three years to rebuild fertilizer capacity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OqhmGtYAVU Peter Zeihan: The Real Map of Oil - How Nationalism and Globalism are driving the world to war https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY7safPDnvM Russia oil pipes for exporting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD0sq5GN7xc electricity and natural gas Jul 29, 2022 Iowa Conference 2022: Agriculture at the End of the World Russia was always going to invade Ukraine. Chinese manufacturing supply chains were always going to break. Global access to agricultural inputs was always going to end. Inflation was always going to rise. And now that the end of globalization is upon us, we can start preparing for what comes next: the greatest agricultural expansion in the history of the republic(US). Potash(40%) comes from Russia and Belarus and isn't being exported. China, the largest exporter of phosphate has suspended all exports to make rice because it had to cull all its pigs. Siberian oil will freeze up because Halliburton has exited Russia and Russia can't duplicate the technology of the western oil services companies. Ukraine will never export grain again, its infrastructure was bombed out by Russia. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zGQFceDrIM agricultural, energy and policy failure, China won't last. Underground water is pumped from below one kilometer, it will cease within a few years. Within the next ten years 500mil Chinese people will starve to death. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtH9rJAHbEA Energy at the End of the World Seminar | Part 3 | Peter Zeihancommentator wrote: Shale is more complicated than Peter Zeihan makes it out to be. One can't just stop and start wells on a dime, it takes time and expertise and specialized machinery, plus some wells once they are stopped can never be restarted. I know about 0.05% or less of what there is to know about shale, but I do know it's pretty complicated to react as fast as two months.

If war not resolved within two months, Russia will have to shutdown all oil production, restarting it will take years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp_oEma1J5w Russia’s Black Sea naval presence, which provides both military and economic leverage over Kyiv, had been disrupting Ukraine’s maritime trade even before the invasion.

Following Thursday’s attack, Ukraine suspended operations sea ports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3SearQIQC8 Energy flows to Europe could stop within a few weeks from Russia and will eventually win the war but at a large cost. They will have to level cities due to the arms coming into Ukraine, the conclusion seems to be that Zelinski should surrender to prevent this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxdHm2dmvKE "....Dr Jordan B Peterson lists the reasons why we're seeing an extended conflict in Ukraine, and explains why a culture war in the West has fueled the Russian fire...." Zeihan's take on the situation is that Russia has been invaded fifty times during its existence and needs to secure the nine gateways to its flat planes, Ukraine are two of those gateways.

Oil, gas, coal and the “ags” are all spiralling higher together, with metals catching up fast. It is a systemic stagflation shock, an intractable problem for central bankers. It acts like a war reparations tax on the economies of importing nations and is ultimately contractionary. Natasha Kaneva, from JP Morgan, said inventories of tradable commodities are critically low and the world is running out of safety buffers. This is a recipe for “non-linear price increases”, she said.Unlike the West, China is prepared. It has been stocking up for months and holds 84 per cent of the world’s copper, 70 per cent of its corn and 51 per cent of its wheat. “China has bought enormous quantities of US soy in recent weeks,” said Rabobank.

Specifically, the video investigates how droughts in California and the Amazon lead to water scarcity for local residents, wildfires, and changing landscapes. These droughts are now exacerbated by climate change and will only make water scarcity and water access worse if drastic action is not taken to curb climate change. In addition, California's Central Valley shows clearly how agriculture can make droughts even worse by drawing unsustainable levels of water out of surrounding aquifers. The water crisis around the globe and in Central Valley has become so bad that many residents are forced to get bottled water because their tap or well water is contaminated or non-existent. In short, we're facing a global water crisis, a shortage of water that, if addressed through water conservation and climate change can be avoided.

Zaire and especially South Africa could find itself invaded by a Chinese armada(two destroyers will actually block this). The US and Europe might not have the will to counter this. CIA agent Thomas Cromwell(Steve Bannon) in a recent speech warned that China will invade Africa, displacing everybody towards Europe. This will weaken Europe so much that the US won't have the resolve to counter China. China has outright annexed disputed land and islands in a test run to see how Europe and the US will react when they eventually annex South Africa. With the complicity of the Chinese government, industrial chemicals are mass produced and shipped to Mexico for the manufacture of narcotics.Trump signaled Trump is signalling to China that the US is getting concerned.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjsThobgq7Q In places around the world, supplies of groundwater are rapidly vanishing. As aquifers decline and wells begin to go dry, people are being forced to confront a growing crisis. Much of the planet relies on groundwater. And in places around the world – from the United States to Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America – so much water is pumped from the ground that aquifers are being rapidly depleted and wells are going dry. Groundwater is disappearing beneath cornfields in Kansas, rice paddies in India, asparagus farms in Peru and orange groves in Morocco. As these critical water reserves are pumped beyond their limits, the threats are mounting for people who depend on aquifers to supply agriculture, sustain economies and provide drinking water. In some areas, fields have already turned to dust and farmers are struggling. Climate change is projected to increase the stresses on water supplies, and heated disputes are erupting in places where those with deep wells can keep pumping and leave others with dry wells.

Even as satellite measurements have revealed the problem’s severity on a global scale, many regions have failed to adequately address the problem. Aquifers largely remain unmanaged and unregulated, and water that seeped underground over tens of thousands of years is being gradually used up. In this documentary, USA TODAY and The Desert Sun investigate the consequences of this emerging crisis in several of the world’s hotspots of groundwater depletion. These are stories about people on four continents confronting questions of how to safeguard their aquifers for the future – and in some cases, how to cope as the water runs out.

Prof. Andrew Morriss, co-author of The False Promise of Green Energy, shows that these claims are based on unrealistic assumptions, poorly thought out models, and bad data. Rather than leading us to an eco-utopia, he argues that current green energy programs are crony capitalism that impoverishes American consumers and destroys American jobs.

horrifying-drought-causing-widespread-crop-failures-throughout-us-and-europe We really are reaching a major crisis point. Thanks to soaring fertilizer prices, insane weather patterns and the war in Ukraine, global food supplies have been getting tighter and tighter. So we really needed a banner year for agricultural production in both the United States and Europe in 2022, and that is not going to happen. In fact, unprecedented drought is absolutely devastating crops all over the northern hemisphere. A lot of people are complaining about how high food prices are right now, but just wait. If some sort of a miracle doesn’t happen, agricultural production is going to be way below expectations in both the United States and Europe, and that is going to have very serious implications for 2023.

The move by China earlier this week to ban phosphate exports until at least June of next year puts even more pressure on global phosphate trade. The U.S. doesn't buy much phosphate from China, but the country represents about 30% of world trade. Now China's traditional buyers will be looking elsewhere. "And it just continues around the world as everyone goes other places to buy, and then they run out," said Josh Linville, director of fertilizer for StoneX. "The ripple effect is that the entire world trade balance goes down, and there's just not enough out there to go around." The ripple effect won't be positive for growers, said Samuel Taylor, a farm inputs analyst for Rabobank. "You are likely to see pressure on urea, and the MAP and DAP, in particular. Those are the pricing products that were kind of really concerning." from dntpf.com

While on one side, Russia took its forces into Ukraine and started capturing territories, the US and Europe imposed heavy sanctions to cripple the Russian economy!! Russian goods were banned, Billion dollar businesses like MCD and Zara quit the Russian markets, Russia is banned from the swift network, their forex has been frozen and the west even started forcing other nations to stop trading with Russia!! --- https://archive.ph/mMWp9 Why Larry Fink is more worried about food prices than oil. There has been tremendous destruction of arable land in Ukraine ... globally the cost of fertiliser is up almost 100 per cent and that additional cost is reducing the amount of fertiliser used in farming. That is harming the quality of the crop worldwide.”
