Global Famine Is Not an Accident… It’s an Engineered Plan for Depopulation
For years, I have warned alongside Michael Yon that a global famine is not a natural disaster but an engineered depopulation event. Now, in the spring of 2026, the evidence is undeniable. The deliberate sabotage of oil refineries, the systematic shutdown of fertilizer plants, and the force majeure declarations on natural gas exports are not random acts of geopolitical conflict — they are coordinated strikes against humanity’s ability to feed itself. As I watch the headlines about empty diesel pumps in Sydney and desperate queues for fuel in Manila, I am convinced this is the opening phase of a long-planned strategy to reduce the global population by cutting off the energy and fertilizer inputs that sustain modern agriculture. [1] This is not merely a crisis; it is a war on our food supply, and the architects operate from boardrooms and bunkers, not battlefields.
The Engineered Famine Is Here
The primary lever of this engineered famine is the interdiction of the Haber-Bosch process — the chemical reaction that converts natural gas into nitrogen fertilizer. Without it, roughly four billion people cannot be fed. [2] As Peter Kalmus explains in his book Being the Change, the majority of nitrogen on Earth is now fixed industrially, and if your diet is typical of industrial civilization, at least one-half of the nitrogen in your body comes from a fertilizer plant. [3] When globalists attack natural gas infrastructure, they are not just disrupting energy markets; they are severing the chemical lifeline that keeps half of humanity alive.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has thrown a wrench into the supply chain of fertilizers and other raw materials, as the ECB president warned recently. [4] This is not merely an oil shock — it is a fertilizer shock, a food shock, and ultimately a starvation shock. It’s clear that the attacks on energy infrastructure are a coordinated assault on humanity’s ability to sustain itself. Without fuel, farming collapses. Without fertilizer, harvests vanish. The pattern is unmistakable: every refinery bombing, every pipeline rupture, every port blockade tightens the noose around our food supply.
The Sabotage of Fertilizer and Fuel
Strategic choke points are being systematically threatened or closed across the globe: the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Malacca, the Danish Strait and more. These are not just trade routes; they are the arteries of global food and energy distribution. As I documented in my article on the oil shock and dollar collapse, the Strait of Hormuz alone carries about 20% of the world’s oil, and its closure has stranded up to 3,000 vessels in the Persian Gulf. [5][6] This is a grand strategy to control routes, resources, and ultimately populations. The same pattern has driven every major war in history: those who control the choke points control the food, and those who control the food control the people.
Meanwhile, the partial destruction of Qatar’s natural gas infrastructure — which I called the opening salvo of the energy collapse — has eliminated a critical source of feedstock for fertilizer production. [7] The global sulfur crisis that follows is the chemical Achilles heel of modern civilization, as I explained in a recent report. [8] Without sulfuric acid, phosphate fertilizers cannot be produced; without phosphate, crops fail. These are not accidents — they are deliberate acts of economic warfare designed to starve billions. The globalists understand basic chemistry far better than the average citizen, and they are weaponizing it against us.
Depopulation: The Real Agenda
Historical famines in Ireland, Ukraine, and China demonstrate that engineered starvation is a proven depopulation weapon. The Holodomor in Ukraine, as I documented in a recent article, killed millions of people through state-organized food confiscation and supply blockade. [9] Today’s elites openly view us as “useless eaters.” The World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” is not about rebuilding — it is about reducing human numbers to a manageable level for their technocratic control. COVID was the test run: a mass compliance experiment that proved they could shut down economies, enforce lockdowns, and push experimental injections. Now they are preparing the final phase with Hantavirus narratives and digital IDs, combining famine with mass surveillance. [10]
The depopulation agenda is real, and the evidence is overwhelming. As I discussed with Steve Quayle, the government’s purchasing of radiological decontamination equipment and chemical detection papers signals preparation for events that seem to be designed to cause mass casualties. [11] The globalists want us to believe this is all chaos and misfortune, but in my view, it is a deliberate strategy. They are using the same playbook that succeeded in the Irish Potato Famine, as Tom Standage describes in An Edible History of Humanity: the British government allowed starvation to continue while exporting food from Ireland. [12]
Resilience and Survival: What You Must Do Now
The good news is that individuals can still opt out of this system. Mennonite and Amish communities, along with preparedness pioneers like Marjory Wildcraft, have shown that growing your own food — planting millet, storing seeds, raising animals — can save lives when the supply chains collapse. [13] I recommend eliminating counterparty risk from your wealth, too. Physical gold and silver, sourced from trusted dealers, hold their value when fiat currencies melt down. But even more important is storing calories: stockpile non-hybrid seeds, learn to preserve harvests, and build a local food network.
The most resilient communities are those that have decentralized their food, energy, and finances. I have been stockpiling fertilizer myself and urging others to do the same, because the price of a bag of urea today may be the difference between life and death tomorrow. [14] Learn old-world skills: canning, fermenting, herbal medicine, and water purification. The globalists want us to be dependent and fatalistic, but I believe we can still choose resilience and community over submission. The time to act is now — not when the shelves are empty and the banks are closed.
Conclusion: The Only Path Forward
The great starvation is not an accident; it is a plan. But it is a plan that can be foiled by millions of individuals who refuse to be passive victims.
We must reject the narrative of helplessness and act: grow food, stack precious metals, support local agriculture, and prepare our families. As I have warned repeatedly, the famine is coming, and only the prepared will thrive.
There is still a window — narrow but real — to build the resilience that will carry us through the collapse. Choose life, choose freedom, and choose to be ready. Because the crisis is fast approaching.

Food aid flotilla sets sail again from Turkey, bound for Gaza
Story by DPA International • 15h •
Two weeks after being intercepted by the Israeli navy, beaten and interrogated an international Gaza food id flotilla has again set sail from Turkey, organizers and the Turkish state news agency Anadolu said on Thursday.
Turkey has warned israel no harm must come to its citizens.
The Global Sumud Flotilla departed from the Turkish port of Marmaris with more than 50 vessels carrying activists from 40 countries, organizers wrote on X.Platform.
The international group aims to challenge Israel’s naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, in place since 2007 with Egyptian support, and deliver food to the starving war-ravaged enclave.
On April 30, the Israeli Navy intercepted more than 20 flotilla vessels in international waters off Crete, 175 people were beaten under interrogation and detained , according to Israeli figures. Most detainees were transferred to Greece and repatriated, while two activists taken to Israel were deported after more than a week, the scars on their bodies looked like electrical shocks
The movement later regrouped under Turkeys protection.
Several European Union states, including Germany, questioned whether the interception in international waters complied with international law. Israel has defended the operation as lawful and accused some activists of taking food to the Islamist militant group Hamas in Gaza.
The activists are aware of risks of interception but are committed to regroup and set sail “again and again until the illegal blockade is lifted,” said Mustafa Özbek of the Turkish rights group IHH, which backs the flotilla organization.
Israel has said again, no food or medical aid will be allowed into Gaza
Rothschild and the Sassoon families made big money from the irish famine
The jews who ran the UKs war on germany managed to starve germany
the people were eating grass soup, and crushing acorns into hot water to drink
Dr David Cohen said the starvation of gaza is a practice run and
the UK will get it real bad
a large part of palestine and lebanon will be turned to growing food to sell at very high prices, the world will pay, or get nought
Where is there famine? Your whole premise is a lie.
Where are all the farmers crying “gimme fertiliser”?
Where are the empty food stores? The cities with cars empty of fuel?
Manila? That’s the Philippines. They have fuck ups all the time.
A few pumps empty in Sydney?
That’s it?
During your scamdemic they were telling you all the “food distribution centres” were being burnt down. Remember? Now it’s oil depos.
C.l.i.c.k. b.a.i.t.
I am a huge fan of depopulation, especially when starvation comes around or wars. But, if there are less people , then, who will buy all those pharma drugs ? Each pharma product gets anywhere from 25 to 48 million prescriptions filled, and a steady customer base. And then what will the fentanyl distributors do when all their former addicts have starved to death. And if there are less drivers on the road , then what will all those sheriffs and cops do, with no one to put into their jails ?
“You rejected Him who died for you and followed the one who didn’t”
People, even non-believers, should, before they eventually get confronted by that terrible judgment, consider: what if it were true? Wouldn’t then I be a rock-stupid loser?
Wouldn’t it be better for you to somehow stay on the safe side?
Because terrible things are coming and you may not have another opportunity if fate suddenly knocks at your door .
And only keep in banks what you need to pay bills, property taxes, or send big bank money to small local banks or credit unions….cash out…or spend what can be spent on items now you might need in future…because unless you accept the Digital CBDC (“mark of the beast” system) you will likely be debanked, and, if you are a senior like me, prepare to lose your SS amd MC because you will not accept the Digital ID (“mark of the beast”? Because you won’t be able to buy or sell without it…unless you barter, or course). And move to the deserts/mountains/forests….where they will likely not put those damned Data Centers! Get out of the cities, and suburbs too!
‘We must reject the narrative of helplessness and act: grow food, stack precious metals, support local agriculture…’
No doubt this is, at least viz-a-vis food, sound advice. But it fails to look at the reality of today’s highly urbanised European society: Most of us live in flats or suburban houses with very little land. So where do we grow food crops? And how are those of us who live in rural settings and have land enough to practise subsistence farming: How are they to prevent the landless majority taking their produce forcibly?
Please consider the above, smart-arse advisers.
1. Where are people starving to death right now?
2. When is the shortage of NG for fertilizers going to hit the first victims and where?
3. Are there not other sources of NG and for fertilizers which both the US and Russia are presently capitalizing on?
3. So, what is Adams saying here? Is he trying to get the US and Israel to quickly withdraw from the war, or is he painting a dire picture of global crisis necessitating the quick elimination of Iranian resistance?
4. Clearly, Israel and the US started the war on a pretext as rotten and blatantly false as 9/11, so is Mike Adams demanding and saying that we ought to demand these rogue nations, including his own American nation, to back off and end the war on terms acceptable to Iran?
5. Or, is Adams really saying that because the US, Isreal, and all major nations are really a part of a globalist conspiracy, causing this huge existential crises to kill billions of people, that “we the people” in order to save humanity ought to rebel and start storming our legislatures, taking over the communications systems, and rounding up all of the elites? If he is right, then should we not at least be thinking and saying that? Where is the middle ground that will end the massive deceptions, violence, killings, and unjust usurpations?
6. Does anyone see any willingness for a revolution or a civil war to make any food, energy, or economic crisis even more real? Only in a few, it would seem. However, if the few in power at the other end of the sthick think that if they go to fast with their controls, and there is widespread starvations and privations in many nations then they also know they are risking their own hides, once the people realize they have nothing to lose. If so then they would only really want to mount the “THREAT” of such a crisis, or various highly-controlled crises, and mainly as pretexts to exercise even more and more gradual controls over us in the slow boil already taking place. Does Adams or anyone agree that is most likely the case?
7. Except from the growing numbers deemed as “unwanted” and “non-essential”, are not the rest of us not essentially parts in interdependent human infrastructures, all of their institutions, corporations, are technologies of the ownership class are similarly dependent on being filled with real people with real wants and demands. Even the currencies they make out of debt and which they manipulated are subject to the value they can get people to put on them. Is the war in Iran then just to usurp oil and NG for the West, and to get rid of the threat of Iran for more Israeli expansion and controls over West Asia, or is it mainly a pretext to manufacture the some huge existential THREAT of a pending extinction through famine and/or a nuclear WWIII? Is it not the case that such ends are not mutually exclusive? Are the globalists, the US deep state, Isreal, and the UK not controlled by the same powers?
8. If the globalists go too far too fast are not they risking their own hides such that even their wars blow up in their own faces?
9. It is well beyond any “coincidence” or “theory” of any kind, that the there is little to distinguish between the globalist crimes, psyops, and usurpations, and those crimes, psyops and usurpations of the US and Israeli going on in the Levant and Iran, and especially when it comes to the basic rights and integrity of actual people and their nations. Does Adams not think that the lying and rogue Trump administration is not working hand in glove with the globalists to deliberately create this crisis? Alternatively, are there really two radically-different camps opposing each other – such as the Rothschild-Zio-Jewish, me-first, US-led, fascist, war-mongering powers VERSUS the more “universal”, DEI, nation-collapsing, commie globalist powers?
10. Adams blames the globalists for this mess, but is he not also saying that the mess has been planned and is being engineered? Is it not being engineered by the US deep state and by the Trump administration, and the same powers which made and control Israel? Is Adams saying that Trump is a part of or somehow free of the globalist restraints. Is he not saying that the US is just another pawn of the globalists and is being used to create a planned crisis to sere the WEF resets and the UN Agendas for more globalist top-down controls over every aspect of our lives – with “preferential” rights to the superpower nations, and of course to Israel very much intending to become one?
11. Is not the construction of the huge data centers in the US and China actually just one more facet of the globalist agenda, for complete control over every aspect of our lives? Is not the NSA surveillance state central to the US deep state and as much of a globalist enterprise as the WEF?
12. Is not Trump actually a globalist decked up in the drag of nationalistic US MAGA stars & stripes?
13. What is “globalism” anyway? Was it not hatched and is mainly supported by both the Rothschild uber-alles, international-Jewry dynasty together with the more American and less-powerful Rockefeller dynasty? Is not the globalist movement made up of the exact powers which John Perkins exposed in his explosive 2004 book “Confessions of and Economic Hitman” – in total control of the US, and our own nations? The US-led Western “corporatocracy” bribed, blackmailed, coerced, murdered its way to destabilize, infiltrate, and debt-rig countless resource-rich nations after WWII, and Perkins was one of their leading hitmen in those operations – until his conscience got to him:
https://resistir.info/livros/john_perkins_confessions_of_an_economic_hit_man.pdf
Perkins named those central powers as the “corporatocracy” – which is made up the central banking cartels, the major corporations of the world, and our governments – all of which governments “coincidentally” happened to be puppets of the bankster money powers and the major corporations. Also “coincidentally”, those are the same powers which make up the globalist movement. They are the same powers and people behind the WEF, the WHO, and that fake organizations called the “United Nations”.
14 . Are these powers not working hand-in-glove with each other deliberately to create this alleged “food crisis” just as they have worked hand-in-globe to pull off the global warming fraud, the debt-rigging of our own nations, and now to fuel the THREAT of a WWIII, together with the FEAR of an economic collapse, and through galloping inflation making more and more people insecure and dependent on government handouts to buy food and to pay their rents?
15. Did not all of our governments, whether they were on the “globalist” side of the fence, or on the more alleged “nationalistic” side, work hand-in-hand with each other to impose on us the COVID PLANDEMIC. There was Trump right in there imposing all of the WEF and WHO mandates. Iran did the same. Have we ever seen such blatant fakery before?
16. Surely Adams must know whether or not Iran is playing a part in the same game with the US in mounting a global starvation threat. Even if the alleged destruction and the atrocities in the Middle East from the war are as bad as we are lead to believe (and we have to doubt that they are) we have to determine if its main purpose and why it is being stoked by the major financial, corporate and national powers is to coerce and frighten us into compliance through EXISTENTIAL THREATS AND CONTROLLED PRIVATIONS into the much more highly-centralized and totalitarian technological resets and control grids waiting for us sheeple?
Trump is definitely doing a number on Cuba.
11 million people entering oblivion.
Here in BC , Canada.
Farmers are out ploughing their fields and planting the crops.
The soil is rich and I have not seen them add fertilizers.
We live in a rainforest so water is rarely an issue.
Our greenhouse growers can now produce food year round.
Regular gas is about $2.20 per liter (CDN).but there won’t be any supply issues as we are next to Alberta, one of THE most oil- rich jurisdictions that exist.
I don’t see Mike Adams style issues here other than stagflation ie rising prices. and flatlining wages.
One’s local conditions and circumstances may vary.
Exactly sophie! Have been living as semi professional hermit in the “sticks” since more then 2 decades (with little interruptions) and one of the first things I figured was NO ONE EVER will be self-sufficient forever or for an extended time. A little while however long it maybe yes and it does not matter if one is one or is many. If one got what others do not have one will need to fight for it when starvation causes humble men to become savage animals. Humanity is a unit that is purposely diseased from within. And Mikey and the other theologian experts are part of the infectious crony coin disease that causes more fata morganas than anything else.
“there are none so blind as those WHO WILL NOT SEE
the writing is on the wall
look at it
When Lynn de Forest Rothschild married into the clan
she said quote
” we will be going into food production and control”
that word control made me shiver
In w w 2 the slogan was dig for victory
people were told grow your veg in window boxes
and any where you can
do the same now they will cull the useless eaters
its communust policy
at the seige of Leningrad the old and the young were killed
to leave more food for the fighters
