Food Shortage and Energy Crisis Ahead?

A number of of news reports warning about coming food shortages and increased food prices have emerged over the last few days. The stated culprits for this coming crisis, we are told, are war and weather.

Independent journalists and outlets such as this one have warned for many years that globalists are fomenting global famine. An independent journalist who has traveled the world extensively recently told The New American that the wars in Ukraine and Iran, the coordinated migration crisis targeting Western Civilization, and upcoming food shortages are all connected.

On Sunday, Polymarket Money announced on its X account: “JUST IN: JPMorgan warns a massive global food supply crisis could begin next year as fertilizer shortages tighten agricultural supply.” The JP Morgan report, titled “Food Security Is National Security: A Compounding Storm,” has been magnified by a host of media outlets. The report, written by an international bank, is not available to the public.  

Climate Change to Blame?

“JP Morgan warned of food inflation in the first part of next year as a potentially historic El Niño, combined with disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz caused by the Iran war and other factors, have created a perfect storm for food production capacity,” Newsweek reported Monday.

El Niño is a natural climate pattern that happens when a large part of the tropical Pacific Ocean gets unusually warm. An El Niño impacts temperatures and rainfall. It can help farms and livestock producers in some regions while hurting others. The one coming this year is expected to turn up the heat and usher in drought in some places and bring heavy rains and flooding in other places. The upcoming El Niño has been a major topic of discussion in weather-focused circles.

Some international legacy outlets are pinning the upcoming food crisis, in part, on “man-made” climate change, which is part of a long running campaign of hysterical screeching that blames very hot or very cold weather on SUVs and air-conditioning. In a report published Monday, The Guardian said that “successive intense heatwaves and an increasingly severe, continent-wide drought have left many of Europe’s farmers in an ‘unprecedented’ crisis, with vegetable and grain growers in particular warning of ‘catastrophic’ harvests.”

Poor Harvests

The article reports astounding reduction in food production across Europe. “French vegetable production is down by a very significant extent compared with previous years, French growers have said, with shortfalls put at 25% for courgettes, 35% for lettuces, 40% for peas, 60% for broccoli and 50% to 100% for artichokes,” said the Guardian. Dairy farmers are also reporting reduced yields, between 10 and 15 percent. Egg production is down by 1 million eggs a day. And it Italy, according to The Guardian, milk production is down by 20 percent.

Production of corn, rice, soya beans, and other vegetables and fruit are also suffering. Spanish production has also declined. “Cereal harvests are 35% below the previous year in Castilla y León, 49% in the Madrid region and 24% in Andalucía,” according to the Guardian. “Sheep and goat’s milk production is also down 6.5% and 10.8% respectively.”

The Guardian uses this news to remind its readers that this is what we get for not believing in man-made climate change. “The overall cost to the sector, including damage caused by wildfires and heavy storms, is put at more than €3bn.” And it’s the result, in part, of “accelerated, human-caused global heating.” What the Guardian conveniently leaves out is that nearly 500 people have been arrested as suspected arsonists in relation to fires in France. This reflects what has happened in Canada and the United States, where arsonists or alleged arsonists are at the center of some of the most destructive fires.

Energy Shock

The JP Morgan report is authored by a team led by senior global economist Nora Szentivanyi, who graduated from the London School of Economics. The report stresses the impact that reduced traffic in the Strait of Hormuz will have on prices. “Szentivanyi’s team found that this year’s energy shock could roughly double the inflationary hit of a super El Niño, lifting global food prices by about 1.3 to 1.5 percentage points against a historical average of 0.7.,” reported the International Business Times. “The report traced the pressure to a single weak point, fertilizer, and named rice, sugar, coffee, and cocoa as the crops most exposed.”

A June news report from Fertilizer Daily said that “seven in ten U.S. farmers could not afford all the fertilizer they needed for the 2026 crop.” The restricted flow through the Strait of Hormuz, caused by a war of choice on the part of the United States, is the main reason. Fertilizer prices in the United States spiked 56 percent over eight weeks right after President Donald Trump launched the war in February. Prices eventually slightly eased.

The JP Morgan report says the fertilizer effect will disproportionately impact Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Since the United States imports most of its coffee, cocoa, and a large share of its sugar, Americans will see these impacts in the checkout lane.

According to JP Morgan report, as relayed by various outlets, the crisis began during the Covid era when the world was put on lockdown. The lockdowns, of course, reduced production. Then came the war in Ukraine, which further strained energy and food supplies. The war reduced the global grain supply, of which Ukraine is a large contributor, and strained oil and natural gas supply, of which Russia is a large supplier of.

The International Business Times notes a telling signal of what is likely coming: “China has been building food and fertilizer reserves for years and released commercial fertilizer stockpiles early this spring as Gulf supplies tightened.”

Immigration and Famine

The alarms are widespread. War correspondent, former Special Forces operator, and independent journalist Michael Yon has been warning of coming food shortages for a long time. He recently told The New American that the people behind upcoming famines are the same ones behind mass migration. “What’s happening here is global,” he said. “The people attacking the food and pushing the death jab, and got this war going with Ukraine and Russia and Iran — it may seem like these are very disparate parts unrelated, but they are intimately related.”

Yon said there are “different oligarchical systems that are trying to rule the world.” One of those systems, one of the “Zionists components,” is working on depopulation. This system is the one fueling famine and wars.

According to Yon, wars and famines trigger mass migration as people move in search of food and peace. Yon spent time in the Darien Gap in Panama when the Joe Biden administration invited the entire world to illegally cross into the United States. He personally watched the facilitators direct migrants to the host countries. Chief among the facilitators is the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

There are others, such as the Hebrew Aide Society, Lutheran Services, Red Cross, and various Catholic charities, Yon pointed out. He has watched IOM help third-world migrants find their way through airports and give them paperwork so they can get into various Western countries. He saw IOM in Istanbul, where it was helping migrants get to Canada. In El Salvador, he took a flight with migrants who were heading to London.

The ultimate point, according to Yon, is to replace the people of the West. And it’s not just the West. He said it’s happening in places such as Japan as well.

Yon, whose interview happened before the aforementioned news reports emerged this week, said that the plan includes “knocking out the farmers, knocking out the fishermen, burning down fertilizer supplies.” He predicted in July 2025 that “the Zionists will close the Strait of Hormuz and blame Iran.” He wrote, “Extended closure of Hormuz and other routes such as Panama/Suez/Malacca, would lead to massive famine.” As of this week, we are seeing a coordinated international media campaign warning of exactly this.
