While meeting with European allies last March, Joe Biden said that they “talked about how we could increase and disseminate more rapidly food shortages.” This was on camera at a press conference. The media didn’t seem to care much, though, and when the statement itself was disseminated online, Facebook labeled it “false news.” Perhaps the idea was that Biden, being senile, will spout falsehoods.
Then again, senile people can also forget to suppress what they’re supposed to keep hidden, some may counter.
Note, too, that the White House never corrected Biden’s odd statement, according to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Whatever the truth, here’s what requires no guesswork: There have been increasing food shortages since that time. Egg prices have recently been skyrocketing, for example, which authorities attribute to the avian flu’s effects. Yet now there’s a report about poultry farmers complaining that their hens had suddenly stopped laying eggs for extended periods, a phenomenon they blame on corporation-sourced chicken feed. They also claim that when they switched to locally sourced grain, their birds immediately became productive again.
This all, of course, sounds like a conspiracy theory, and maybe that’s all it is. Or is it a conspiracy fact?
Someone who may suspect the latter is the aforementioned Carlson. On his show Monday, the commentator opened talking about Biden’s odd March 2022 press conference, which took place in Brussels, Belgium, where Biden had been meeting with other globalist pseudo-elites. At the conference, he “explained that the sanctions he was imposing against Russia, while morally necessary, were also going to cause food shortages around the world, including here in the United States,” related Carlson. “It’s going to be real,” Biden said. He later made his odd food-shortages statement (video below).
Addressing the media’s ignoring of the story and Big Tech censorship of it, Carlson noted that, apparently, “Taking Joe Biden literally qualifies as ‘misinformation.’” Of course, it would be front-page news had Trump uttered such a thing just prior to food shortages’ manifestation.
Carlson later addressed egg prices, up 100 percent in some places. Casting doubt on the claim the avian flu is solely to blame, the commentator then presented another curious story, saying that
some chicken farmers, have noticed something odd. Their chickens aren’t laying eggs or as many eggs. And these chickens don’t appear sick with avian flu…. They’re just not producing eggs.
Now healthy hens lay eggs on a regular basis, every 24 to 26 hours. But suddenly, chicken owners all over the country — not all of them, but a lot of them — are reporting they’re not getting any eggs or as many…. Some have concluded their chicken feed may be responsible.
Carlson presented on his program a couple of poultry farmers who said that when they switched from the big-brand feed they’d previously used, their hens’ productivity resumed. One of them referenced a feed called “Producer’s Pride,” a Purina brand. Carlson then explained:
Most chicken feed brands are made by Purina. Purina also makes Producer’s Pride … cattle feed[, which was] recently subject to a recall after regulators linked the product to a series of unexplained cattle deaths. It was removed from shelves because there was a good chance you shouldn’t be feeding it to livestock.
Could that be happening again? Now, we don’t know. But we should tell you because again, no one else seems to be keeping track of this, that it’s not just Producer’s Pride that some chicken owners are worried about. Some have concerns about several other chicken feed brands made by Purina.
Carlson stated that his show reached out to Purina, whose people said they investigated the matter and determined their feed was not the issue. Carlson admits he doesn’t know one way or the other, but criticized other media’s incuriosity. (video below).
In addition, Carlson mentioned fires and other disasters that have recently befallen food-production facilities. Since this is a big story in some quarters, I investigated the matter to determine if these events were statistically anomalous. Here’s what I found.
Susan McKelvey, a National Fire Protection Association spokesman, “noted in an email that national data show the country averaged more than 5,000 fires annually at manufacturing and processing facilities, not just food plants, between 2015 and 2019,” related U.S. News & World Report last May. “She estimated that there have ‘been approximately 20 fires in U.S. food processing facilities in the first 4 months of 2022, which is not extreme at all and does not signal anything out of the ordinary.’”
“The recent inquiries around these fires appears to be a case of people suddenly paying attention to them and being surprised about how often they do occur,” McKelvey stated.
I did suspect this could be the case. It’s reminiscent of how the Left and its media (mainstream) cited black-church fires in 1990s as evidence that America was rife with racial hatred; in reality, a certain number of churches every year are destroyed by fire quite accidentally.
Could the chicken-feed matter also be explained by way of highly publicized anomalies? Perhaps. But it’s the media’s job to shine a light on such stories and ferret out the truth, whatever it may be. Certainly, if there’s time to focus on mythical “white supremacy,” there’s time for this.
What’s for sure is that with the economy (and everything else), Biden laid an egg — and so did the people who enabled this senile man’s rise to power.
