The chief of the world food program is now warning that a famine of “biblical proportions” may be set to sweep the world due the the economic disruption caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. As The Guardian reports:
The world is facing widespread famine “of biblical proportions” because of the coronavirus pandemic, the chief of the UN’s food relief agency has warned, with a short time to act before hundreds of millions starve.
More than 30 countries in the developing world could experience widespread famine, and in 10 of those countries there are already more than 1 million people on the brink of starvation, said David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Programme.
“We are not talking about people going to bed hungry,” he told the Guardian in an interview. “We are talking about extreme conditions, emergency status – people literally marching to the brink of starvation. If we don’t get food to people, people will die.”
…But the Covid-19 pandemic, which no one could have foreseen, has “taken us to uncharted territory”, he said. “Now, my goodness, this is a perfect storm. We are looking at widespread famines of biblical proportions.”
With the world’s food supply system in chaos as farm and industrial workers staying home to avoid infection, the hundreds of thousands already dead from the virus may pale in comparison to the devastation wreaked by the lockdown’s economic effects.
I love it when an agnostic group uses the term “Biblical proportions”
All the more reason to quit this self imposed destruction of the economy, and restore the business and commerce of America. The President shepherded one of greatest employment booms before the attack by the Chinese Virus and He can do it again, providing Republicans gain control of the House and retain control of the Senate.
So what is the name of this head of the world food program? And what program are we talking about? This smacks of fake news but will cause a stampede of food hording so is dangerous to put out there!
“World Food Program Chief Warns Of Famine Of ‘Biblical Proportions’ Due To Pandemic”
Well if I understand the information the UN has been handing out for the past 50 years or more this famine has been going on long before this pandemic ever took place. That’s all well and good, but if people don’t get back to work there are going to be a hell of a lot more starving people than that of Biblical proportions. I think if you have money or no money, at that point, it just won’t be all that important anymore. Then we’ll all be living in a New World Order.
Whatever! I will continue to plant seeds, and grow food with God’s Blessing.
I hope everyone will do the same in whatever style to make food available at some level.

The NWO will not allow that for long, as they must be able to “take care of” all of us. It’s also only a matter of time until they confiscate the food we have saved up so they can redistribute it to the people who didn’t save food. The end goal is to have us totally dependent on the NWO (whoever survives their depopuulation, anyway). Wait for the Fall, next Winter will be bad with them also wanting to lock us down for second or third wave of COVID, plus the flu. “Michigan Governor Deems Gardening Supplies — Including Fruit And Vegetable Seeds — ‘Non-Essential’:”

“Whatever” is a head-in-the-sand response to a coming problem. The governor of Michigan won’t let people buy garden seeds! This will spread, as the feds do not want you producing your own food. It’s okay now. as they allow us to “think” we still have autonomy & can make our own decisions. But one peek at Venezuela will tell you, once the feds have decimated the cattle industry, pork industry, sheep industry, and truck farming industries, they will have us all by the throat, according to the Rules for Radicals (Saul Alinsky) to which all democRAT politicians subscribe. Hussein oBlamer got government control of all surface water, waterways, standing water, runoff water, etc. I believe Trump reversed this but if democRATS gain control, ever, “draconian measures” will seem like a picnic. It won’t be draconian, it will be Hitleresque. Yes, you can grow your own food now, but if you’re the only one in your area with a nice garden, and your neighbors are starving, how long before they sneak over at night (or broad daylight) and take your harvest? Hope you are very remote!!!
Seemed kinda obvious to me from the start, yeah, everybody stops working and there are no supplies or food on the shelves in a few months. The libs think all these things come from the same place as their government checks, out of thin air.
hope we do not get to that situation,however it could possible happen if we do not heed the warning and change the way we behave. some countries in this world are facing that reality. so before you start mocking read and get imform . countries like africa and some poor countries are already facing famine and starvetion.. It is written in the bible and that was part of earlier christian and jesus. This country is heading for distruction. high deficit 23 trillions and counting, media controled and guide by the devil,bad polititian. hollywood devil cheear leaders and the list go on an on we not longer have god in our side and enventually will get punish.
The author did not spend any time in the military. I retired in 1982 and until that time many of us were worried about what to do in emergencies. We had civil defense programs when I was in school and one section was about what to do in epidemics. Governor Schwarzenegger built up a supply of ventilators, masks and even an emergency hospital that was sold by the democrat politicians. Don’t tell me that fiction writers were not warning us. The narrow minded politically oriented democrats would rather gather power than protect the citizens. Governor Cuomo had the ability to buy 16,000 ventilators at a bargain price and he chose to build a solar factory in Buffalo that went bankrupt. It is a matter of priorities and the democrat party priority is power over the people. Remember this the next time you vote.
If there’s famine in any of these 30 countries, then it’s due to over breeding!!! When you produce too many children and not enough agricultural land to support them, then you’ll have famine!!! We need to stop feeding these morons and let Mother Nature do her job!!!
Malthus predicted that population would continue to grow geometrically whild agriculture only would grow straight line. Eventually, the population would outgrow its food supply. Malthus forgot to factor in wars, plagues, and innovation. A long time ago, I read a book titled, “The Worldly Philosophers.” Malthus was one of the economists described in that book. Found his profile and theories on Wikipedia.
Sounds like organized one world order bullshit panic, fear and hysteria like commie Democraps are trying here. Open the country back up, people are mostly not staying home for fear if the courts but because wannabe dictator demoturds here have ordered states shut down. Open it yo and see how many girls back to work. Take common sense precautions. Open the country back up and stop the damn demoturds from using it to push their commie political agenda.
I think you are right on. Anyone that can grow a few of their own vegetables needs to get ready because it could take some pressure off of everyone.
If this is going to be the case, we have to help make the situation better. Don’t give any thing we grow ourselves to the Democrats in Washington, just the Republicans.
I want to see Pelosi get mad because she can’t have what she wants.
