Not Hungry
I thought about hunger a few hears ago and identified 7 distinct types of hunger. It pays to know the different types and what to do about it when you experience each.
- Physical Hunger
- Nutrient Deficit Generated Hunger
- Emotional Hunger
- Excitotoxin Eating Compulsion
- Hormonal Hunger
- Psychosomatic Hunger
- Post Stress, Cortisol Generated Hunger
I describe them in more detail on page 91 of my now 1050 page book on How to Live the Healthiest Life. If you would like to save yourself a lot of sifting to get what I consider to be the best info I have come across in the last 14 years, check it out at: https://howtolivethehealthiestlife.com/
Weather Why
This is part of the Grand Solar Minimum…..it’s called Meridional Flow. A wavy Jet Stream. Usually, the jet stream is more or less in a straight line. But with the Solar Cycle causing changes,….the Jet gets all wiggly. Hot air get up to where it almost never goes,….like Spain and England at 120F,….and cold air gets down to where it almost never goes, like Australia this winter. That’s of why scientists and NOAA and NASA are all agreeing that we are now IN a Grand Solar Minimum. This is what caused the last mini ice age,….called the Maunder Minimum. Go look it up! Boy things changed a lot!
Satellite Imagery Shows Global Crop Declines – Except For Russia And China
Infrared satellite imagery designed to measure moisture levels and the health of farmlands suggests that staple crops such as wheat are in poor condition and in sharp decline among major exporters including the Ukraine, the US and India. Two countries do have bumper crops so far though; namely Russia and China.
It is hard to say which governments and institutions monitor this data, but a few months ago a multitude of political leaders and global banks issued simultaneous warnings of a “global food shortage” and an impending crisis. Such institutions included the IMF, World Bank, the BIS and even the White House. So far, a perfect storm of stagflation, supply chain disruptions and poor weather conditions have combined to disrupt food production around the world.
Price inflation due to central bank stimulus measures has been enough to do incredible damage to the many national economies, but a single bad year for crops on top of this could spell disaster.
Russia and China, on the other hand, are enjoying a strategic advantage. As we entered spring of this year, the mainstream media heralded the end of the Russian economy and the swift collapse of their war efforts in Ukraine. Today, Russia is selling more oil and exporting more commodities than ever before, and both Russia and China now have the most healthy staple crops in the world. It’s almost as if the public in the west has been deliberately misled about our economic strength.
Sadly, many people in the west have forgotten the importance of commodities, industry and energy in terms of geopolitical leverage. Without dominance of these three arenas there is no chance for a nation or group of nations to dictate terms to a country that has such advantages. Economic warfare is about independent production and adaptability; these are two things the US and Europe do not have right now.
With declines in crop exports, food prices will rise even further this year and there is also the possibility that Russia could cut off the EU and other nations from access to their agricultural market. Though the Kremlin says this will not happen, given the right trigger event it remains a legitimate threat. Already this month Europe is on the edge of an economic cliff as they wait to see if the Russian “maintenance shutdown” of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline is actually temporary, or the beginning of a full bore energy crisis that will last for years.
In other words, the temptation for the eastern nations to use food as a weapon against NATO countries will be just as high on their list as oil and gas. With food and energy stability in doubt there is also a considerable danger of civil unrest. Third world nations are likely to see the worst of the shortages, but price inflation in necessities is here to stay for first world countries as well. And along with that comes all the associated economic problems, including rising crime, rising unemployment and rising poverty.

Coercion
Ignorance Is Bliss
I think not! This is a false datum promulgated I suspect by those without the courage to look and see the evil that is present. As I have as my email footer:
One of my aims in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
Our most formidable enemies are:
Personal and collective ignorance,
personal and organisational out-ethics,
lack of personal integrity and
lack of self-discipline.
What we don’t know and what we know we should do but do not discipline
ourselves to do are two things that will kill us. Gradually or suddenly.
Self-discipline is a skill and just like any skill, it improves with practice.
On what are you going to practice yours today?

Gazprom Declares Force Majeure, Will Halt Gas Flows To Germany Indefinitely
The Russian gas supplier Gazprom cannot obtain needed maintenance parts from Canada.
The embargo on exports to Russia is backfiring most horrendously.
Or having the intended effect of creating hardship for the masses.
Depends on whether you think the politicians in the west are incompetent or genocidal.
