A Man-Made Catastrophe<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What I am about to tell you is not a prediction; it is a warning based on hard evidence. By the end of 2027, if the Strait of Hormuz accrues many more months of wartime closure, millions of people will starve to death. Not because of a drought or a plague, but because a small group of men in Washington and Tel Aviv chose war over peace. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has already cut off the flow of fertilizer to the world\u2019s most vulnerable nations, and the food system is now collapsing in slow motion. This is not an accident. It is a deliberate, engineered famine, and I am going to show you exactly who is responsible.<\/p>\n

The trigger was the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which began in earnest in late February. As the LifeSiteNews report of April 22, 2026, states: \u201cthe current military campaign is choking fertilizer supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, potentially triggering the worst food crisis since the 1970s.\u201d\u00a0[1]<\/sup>\u00a0The mainstream media wants you to believe this is a tragic side effect of war. I believe it is the goal. Depopulation has been the quiet ambition of the globalist elite for decades, and now they have found their perfect weapon: starvation.<\/p>\n

The Mechanism: How Fertilizer Becomes Famine<\/h2>\n

Modern agriculture is utterly dependent on synthetic fertilizer, which in turn depends on natural gas and sulfur. Roughly one-third of the world\u2019s seaborne fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz. With that strait effectively closed since March 2026, the supply of ammonia, urea, and phosphates has collapsed.<\/p>\n

The Ron Paul Institute reports that \u201cthe price of the two main fertilizer ingredients, ammonia and urea, spiked 20% and 50% respectively\u201d in late March, and the situation has only worsened since then.\u00a0[2]<\/sup>\u00a0The International Energy Agency confirms that global oil flows have fallen 13% and LNG shipments 20%, cutting off the very feedstocks needed to grow food.\u00a0[3]<\/sup><\/p>\n

What happens when fertilizer disappears? Crop yields do not fall linearly; they plummet. As I explained in my March 2026 article \u201cThe Haber-Bosch House of Cards,\u201d a 10% reduction in fertilizer can lead to a 25% loss in harvest.\u00a0[4]<\/sup>\u00a0Without nitrogen, wheat, rice, and corn — the crops that sustain billions — simply fail. Willow Tohi, writing for Natural News, calls the Strait of Hormuz \u201cthe hunger chokepoint\u201d and notes that the blockade \u201chas severely disrupted the global supply of nitrogen fertilizers, which are essential for modern agriculture.\u201d\u00a0[5]<\/sup>\u00a0This is not a natural disaster; it is a supply chain deliberately broken by war.<\/p>\n

The Countries That Will Be Hit Hardest<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Already, Sudan is in phase?5 famine. More than 22 million people there require emergency food aid, and their planting season runs from June to July. If fertilizer does not arrive by then, the entire region will face a catastrophic harvest failure. Yemen, Somalia, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, and Egypt are next in line — all nations dependent on imported fertilizer and natural gas. The United Nations Office for Project Services warns that continued disruption could push 45 million more people into hunger worldwide.\u00a0[6]<\/sup><\/p>\n

Notice a pattern? Nearly all of these countries are in Africa or South Asia. This is not a coincidence. In my research using AI to map global vulnerabilities, I found that the same nations that are already food-insecure are the ones most dependent on Hormuz transit. They are the target. As Peter Zeihan writes in \u201cDisunited Nations,\u201d the geopolitical game is about controlling resources and populations; the weak are simply expected to die.\u00a0[7]<\/sup>\u00a0Sharon Astyk, in her book \u201cDepletion and Abundance,\u201d warned years ago that \u201cour food is grown with oil, packaged in oil, and transported with oil\u201d — and when the oil and gas are cut, the food stops.\u00a0[8]<\/sup>\u00a0That day is here.<\/p>\n

Who Is to Blame? The War of Choice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let me be clear: this war was chosen. Iran did not attack the United States. President Trump escalated a conflict that was entirely avoidable. In my March 2026 article \u201cThe Famine Years: How Trump\u2019s Unnecessary War Has Put Global Food Security on the Brink,\u201d I wrote: \u201cThe choice to escalate strikes on Iran and enforce a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is not a defensive necessity; it is an act of aggression that has severed the world\u2019s most critical artery of commerce.\u201d\u00a0[9]<\/sup><\/p>\n

Every day the Strait remains closed because of U.S. intransigence is a day that condemns thousands to death. Iran controls the Strait, and rather than negotiate a reasonable toll deal that would allow fertilizer shipments to flow, the administration has chosen to maintain a blockade. As Michael Yon and I discussed in our interviews, the closure could easily be blamed on Iran, but the real power to open it lies with the White House.\u00a0[10]<\/sup>\u00a0The Bright Videos Network reported that \u201cover 3000 vessels are stranded in the Persian Gulf\u201d because insurers will not cover voyages without Iranian permission.\u00a0[11]<\/sup>\u00a0This is not incompetence; it is deliberate. The globalists want population reduction, and this war delivers it.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: Hope, Preparedness, and the Truth<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If the Strait of Hormuz reopened tomorrow, the worst could be avoided — crops could still be planted, and millions of lives could be saved. But given the political dynamics and the entrenched war agenda, that seems unlikely. I urge you to prepare: grow your own food, store clean water and non-perishable supplies, and learn self?reliance. This is not panic; it is prudence. The only way to survive an engineered famine is to decentralize your food system.<\/p>\n

We must also pray for peace and hold the warmongers accountable. The truth is our only weapon against this engineered catastrophe. Join me at\u00a0NaturalNews.com<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0BrightVideos.com<\/a>\u00a0as we track this crisis and expose the real agenda. The coming famine is not fate — it is a crime, and those who commit it must be named and stopped.<\/p>\n
