An inflection point has been reached with respect to the collapse of modern agriculture as we enter the Grand Solar Minimum and the climate changes -- and the system is responding by clamping down on truth.

As the US experiences its worst planting on record, China is facing a one-two punch from African Swine Fever and Armyworm. Food prices are rising.

Canada officially reports a 14-year high of arctic sea ice levels.

Will ASF come to US, and inspire forced vaccines for livestock?

Christian breaks it down.

Heavy winter snow and ice finally melts into Lake Michigan along the Milwaukee Harbor along the lakefront.
In 2017 "Climate Experts" had irrefutable proof that the Great Lakes would continue an evaporation decline spiral due to climate change, but today we are at 100 year high water marks with all of the great lakes about to set the highest water marks ever set. We also see the same "this place is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world" headlines coming out of the same Great Lakes. When will the corporate media begin asking hard questions why so many bad predictions didn't pan out?

A prehistoric forest of hundreds of trees which died more than 4,500 years ago has been uncovered on a Welsh beach after low tides and a storm
A prehistoric forest of hundreds of trees which died more than 4,500 years ago has been uncovered on a Welsh beach after low tides and a storm
A prehistoric forest which was buried under water and sand more than 4,500 years ago and inspired a local legend has been uncovered on a Welsh beach.

The forest near the village of Borth, Ceredigion, Mid Wales, used to stretch for up to three miles along the shore between Ynys-las and Borth but eventually was buried under layers of peat, sand and saltwater.

The eerie remains of these ancient trees under Borth's beach have led to the local legend of the mythical Sunken Kingdom of Wales, called Cantre'r Gwaelod.

Folklore has it that Cantre'r Gwaelod, or the Sunken Hundred, was a once-fertile land and township stretching for 20 miles, but was lost beneath the waves in a mythical age.

The fields of Murcia have again been hit by storms and hail this spring, and this has caused serious damage to crops in the municipalities of Cieza, Blanca and Jumilla.

Manuel Martínez, vice-president of the agricultural cooperatives federation Fecoam, said that "up to one hundred percent of the harvest has been lost in some areas, such as the Macetúa area, where there was a lot of rainfall and hail." The actual extent of the damage has yet to be evaluated.

The stone fruit harvest was in full swing in these areas of the Region, so these products are the most affected.

Other areas that could have been affected are La Carrichosa, La Corredera, El Horno, Elipe or Venta del Olivo, says Martínez.
