Please Michael keep writing and pay no mind. It makes people think about things that may be wrong or right. I have been reading you for years. I have never believed everything over the years but it did make me think. Like I brought silver when it was $11.00 an oz. There will always be hate. That’s just us stupid humans.

A couple years ago, when the price of fertilizer went through the roof, ranchers here used manure instead. Just like the old days.

Just came back from Houston. My son works for his father at Chemstar. They are busier than ever, no slowing down with shipments, product, etc. Makes you wonder what's really going on.

Iran was supplying urea to the world? How did that get past sanctions?

The majority of nitrogen fertilizer needs Natural Gas to take it out of the atmosphere.The ,UK blew up the feed stock to BSAF in Germany with the Nordstream pipelines for the main source of nitrogen fertilizer in the EU. Now Qatar has shut down their EU LNG.

Great news, RFK, jr now supports the cancer-causing glyphosate to save our food! Yay! Poison for everyone! Yippee!

If this doesn’t convince the last few stragglers that Mr Trump *isn’t* a steamroller who forces good people with good intentions to become evil people with evil intentions, there’s no hope for you.

You should read about the Dunning-Kruger effect, your not an analyst. I hate glyphosate, but the scale of the decisions made at the executive level is way over your head. Turning the cruise ship in the harbor takes time.

I know about Dunning-Kruger. At no point did I make any mention that I was more intelligent than anyone, so maybe you want me to review it and break it down for YOU?

Here in flyover country farmers are struggling to maintain profitability. Even with large farms they are barely breaking even. I talked to a guy a few days ago who said e had just downsized from 2700 acres to 2000 and he is barely profitable. I find that amazing considering how much land costs in the central part of our state.

But the big equipment manufacturers just keep pumping out million dollar tractors and combines. Wonder how many acres you have to have to afford those?

Michael, you are still missing another huge point, regarding famine.

85% of all food to the gulf countries is imported by ship. With Iran and Ansar Allah (Houthis) shutting down the Strait of Hormuz as well as the Suez, in the very near future these countries will begin mass starvation. At that point, will the common person accept this new reality, or will they overthrow the monarchies that rule them? The people of Bahrain have already begun.

Now as for those countries most affected by the losses of fertilizer, these are India, Brazil, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, South Africa, Ethiopia, Niger, Thailand & Bangladesh.

It is easy to blame Iran for this, but that is the excuse for those persons with low intelligence. Iran did not start this war; that was Israel, England and the US.

Iran and Russia gamed every scenario, and have now chosen to forcefully expel the United States from the mideast, and possibly to end Israel or at least its hegemony.

And they are succeeding.

War, famine and perstilence. The big three.

Wow, harbinger of doom, you are the man to bring along all this junk to worry about. Do you ever think of anything positive.? Do you have a nice religious words, many times at the end of your articles, but the last thing I think you are as religious. We pray to a god of love and life and he wants us to be happy. That’s the last thing I get from you. All you do. negative things. Does that ever bother you? Or is that how you make your living by spreading terrible, rotten, nasty things. You know most of the stuff you mentioned never happens. Let me repeat that most everything that you warn us about. Never happens. You are so far removed from the prophet of God. It’s unreal. Again everything you talk about Never happens. You and Sylvia Browne have about the same scorecard. Pathetic!

Be careful...when you least expect it, it will happen. Who would have ever thought the entire world...every country's leader...could shut down all the countries at the same time. Even though it was a minor test from God....they still managed to do it...successfully...of course with the help from their worshipped leader "Satan". Mr. Snyder has always had a blog like this. A blog to warn people. A blog to tell people to prepare. Of course most so-called Christians state that we don't have to prepare because God will protect us. What would have happened if Joseph said No to God to stocking up on wheat for 7 years to prepare for the 7 year famine? We must prepare like the ant....and not take God for granted. Who knows...your "Preps" may actually be planned by God for the wondering, homeless, groups of surviving Christians in the end times. I understand what you're saying Mr. Brown...I really do...but be careful. Stating this with love....

Use Cow dung, green leaves, and kitchen waste to rich compost that feeds our crops naturally, our process is sustainable, eco-friendly, and rooted in African wisdom.

Human Urine as Fertilizer:

A person can produce as much urine per year to fertilize roughly 3200-4300 square feet of crops!

Used at a household level, the urine that a family produces is more than enough to help sustain a home garden.

Well truth be told = Mike Adams has been in a slump for quite awhile now, as all of his Sky is Falling Shout outs have failed to happen

Predictions of famine are a bit premature. I seriously doubt the Iranians can keep the shippig lanes closed. You cry wolf one too many times, sir. I hardly read your posts anymore
