America Will Survive, Part 2

By Pastor Roger Anghis

As I pointed out in the last column, the attacks on America’s lifestyle are not coming from outside the nation but from inside, our own government. I will agree that this present administration is heavily influenced by the globalists at the World Economic Forum. I will also say that the WEF has no jurisdiction over the United States and our Congress had better keep the ideologies of the WEF out of our government. With that said, we need to look at what our government is doing to our food supply. There are so many things to look at here that I will only be able to skim over them. Let it be known that I have no faith in any way shape or form in 99% of our government agencies, The FDA, EPA, ATF, and the rest of the alphabet agencies. They have proven to be an enemy to Americans instead of protectors as they were originally designed to be.

Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen all kinds of incompetence that’s caused a baby formula shortage, supply chain problems, fires at food facilities, and egg shortages.

We didn’t have any of these problems until President Joe Biden and his group of liberals took power.

In the last three years, we’ve learned how cooperations and the beltway politicians on both parties joined together for the sake of power and money.

In America, federal regulators – like the ones that want to ban gas stoves – are allowing food corporations to use chemicals that are banned in many countries around the world.

For example, Potassium bromate, a suspected carcinogen banned for human consumption in Europe, China, and India, but can be used in the USA.

Food makers use the chemical, usually in the form of a powder or crystals, to strengthen the dough. The chemical is in more than 100 products.

“There is evidence that it may be toxic to human consumers, that it may even either initiate or promote the development of tumors,” professor Erik Millstone, an expert on food additives at the England’s University of Sussex, told CBS News.[1]

We see the EPA allow a product called glyphosate to be sprayed on our food and our food to be genetically modified to resist glyphosate. Glyphosate is the main ingredient in Roundup. It is designed to kill everything it is sprayed on. It is also the main ingredient in a product that those from the Viet Nam era remember as Agent Orange. It has caused millions of deaths and diseases for those that have been exposed to it. But the EPA says it is safe. Just like Biden, they lie. The United States seems to ignore the concerns of other nations when it comes to additives in our food. It’s not just potassium bromate. A range of other chemicals and substances banned in Europe over health concerns are also permitted in the U.S., including Titanium dioxide (also known as E171); Brominated vegetable oil (BVO) (E443); Potassium bromate (E924); Azodicarbonamide (E927a) and Propylparaben (E217).

Millstone, who’s spent almost half a century researching food and agriculture science, said most Americans were likely completely unaware that they were being exposed on a daily basis to substances in their food viewed as dangerous in Europe.

In response to the report, the FDA told CBS News that all food additives require “pre-market evaluation” and “regulations require evidence that each substance is safe at its intended level of use before it may be added to foods.”

“Post-approval, our scientists continue to review relevant new information to determine whether there are safety questions and whether the use of such substance is no longer safe,” the agency added.

The FDA added that if potassium bromate is used correctly during production, it converts into a harmless substance. But they admitted not all of the compounds used in a recipe may convert, and “control measures” are utilized to minimize the amount in a final product.[2]

In accordance with the wishes of the WEF the Biden administration has facilitated a lot of the WEF’s agenda. Biden is doing what he can to cut back on beef production for the sake of ‘climate change’. I understand that they think a good protein replacement for beef are bugs. They are welcome to eat bugs but I’m not inclined to eat bird food. Our system is not designed to eat bugs. But in 2023, beef is likely to be in short supply, forcing Americans to get their robust protein fix and dietary centerpiece from something other than red meat.

According to Beef Magazine, the USDA estimates that the average American will consume 5.6% less beef in 2023 than they did in 2022 — the steepest decline in consumption in nearly 40 years. Consumers’ choice to buy less beef is related to economic concerns, such as inflation, lackluster GDP growth, and escalating beef costs brought on by an ongoing shortage of the meat.[3]

Beef is not the only item that we may see shortages of this year. Lettuce may be in short supply because of weather and disease brought on by a critter called thrips. Champagne may be in short supply because of bad planning by breweries and the weather. Butter is on the list for possible shortages, corn is also on the list. This does not bother me too much as I get my corn from a non-GMO farm. Eggs are in danger because there have been so many fires at eggs-producing facilities as well as losing 49 million birds across 46 states to the bird flu. Bread could be in short supply because of the war in Ukraine. Olive oil is at risk because a tree-blighting bacteria of Latin American origin called Xylella fastidiosa surfaced and made its way to the Puglia region of Italy, where 12% of the world’s olive oil supply is produced. By 2021, Xylella had infected a solid third of the area’s 60 million olive trees, making the fruit unusable before completely killing the tree itself.

The bacteria is the cause of a 50-70% olive oil production reduction since it took hold.[4]

All of this is not good news but America has survived a lot worse and we will survive this as well. We are fighters and when someone tries to take away what is ours, we take a stand. Just like during the Revolutionary War, not all stood for our freedom. Only about 15% of the population supported the effort and we won anyway because we were on God’s side. We will win this one too for the same reason. But do not forget, we will have to fight. It may not be with guns and I hope it is not but we will have to fight.
