And You Shall Eat Bugs




And You Shall Eat Bugs













Step by step, a monstrous plan is being worked out.

A new European Union regulation dated January 3 now allows crickets and the grain mold beetle to be processed in food. Since 2021, the mealworm—the larva of the flour beetle—and the migratory locust have received EU approval as novel foods. The EU’s website informs that there are eight more “applications for insects intended to be marketed in different forms.” Thus more and more insects could soon make it into our cereal, meats and other foods. This legislation is enabling a creepy infiltration of our food.

“Nobody will be forced to eat insects,” the European Commission tweeted on January 18. You know it’s bad if you read such a statement. The reality is that such regulations could make it hard to avoid them.

It’s hard to miss the constant propaganda telling us that eating meat is bad for us and for the climate. Eating bugs is increasingly promoted as a protein alternative.

“The consumption of insects … contributes positively to the environment and to health and livelihoods,” a European Commission statement reads. “The environmental benefits of rearing insects for food are founded on the high feed conversion efficiency of insects, less greenhouse gas emissions, less use of water and arable lands, and the use of insect-based bioconversion as a marketable solution for reducing food waste.”

The new law says the addition of insects must be labeled close to where the ingredients are if mixed under other regular produce. Thus, one could say, everyone still has the choice to eat them or not. But we should beware where these steps are leading. Today you can bypass the bug and vegetarian “meat” aisle, but in the future, this might get harder. Not only are those sections getting longer, but also, the real meat section may soon have creepy infiltrators.

In 2019, Fox News wrote: “Maggots Will Be Added to Sausage, Specialty Foods as Meat Alternative, Scientists Claim.” Food scientists at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, were incorporating insects such as maggots and locusts into specialty foods. At what point will their experiment land on your plate?

“An overpopulated world is going to struggle to find enough protein unless people are willing to open their minds, and stomachs, to a much broader notion of food,” meat science professor Dr. Louwrens Hoffman told Fox News. “Would you eat a commercial sausage made from maggots? What about other insect larvae and even whole insects like locusts? The biggest potential for sustainable protein production lies with insects and new plant sources.”

This might soon become a self-fulfilled prophecy in Europe. More and more farms are being forced to shut down to meet EU climate change regulations. It’s no coincidence that more and more bugs are, at the same time, permitted to make it into food. The Word Economic Forum found as many as five ways that eating bugs can reduce climate change, so their goal is to get as much of it into foods as they can. We are now seeing the first regulations in Europe to allow for that. If future regulations allow or even demand a certain percentage of insects in every burger sold in supermarkets, it will be tough to find 100 percent meat options.

Growing up in Germany, I have had my own experience with trying to find 100 percent beef or chicken. Though I am not a Jew by heritage or traditional belief, I do believe it necessary to follow God’s laws regarding clean and unclean meats outlined in Leviticus 11. But avoiding pork in Germany was incredibly difficult. At any local event with food carts, you can’t buy a sausage or burger—all have pork in them; or if you ask about it, the sellers won’t know and give you a strange look. Order a pasta or a salad, and it is sprinkled with bacon. So you have to get your sausage from the store. But even there you will have a hard time finding one without pork as one of its ingredients.

Why do manufacturers do this? Maybe it’s cheaper. Germany is the biggest pork producer in Europe. But given Germany’s history of murdering 6 million Jews in just one period and persecuting and killing them in previous centuries, would it not be appropriate to at least attempt to make their lives easier? But the opposite is the case.

Now imagine you have to check for every insect that could be part of the food you’d like to purchase. Or worse, you have to avoid them all because 100 percent meat has been outlawed. Considering today’s headlines, this doesn’t seem far-fetched. Locusts are one of the few insects the Bible classifies as clean. The vast majority of other insects are unclean. Thus, obeying these laws and living a healthy lifestyle that includes meats may become harder and harder.

This trend toward demonizing meat is nothing new. In The Nazi War on Cancer, Robert N. Proctor writes: “Nazi nutritionists mounted a frontal attack on Germans’ excessive consumption of meat, sweets and fat, and argued for a return to ‘more natural’ foods such as cereals, fresh fruit and vegetables.” This was part of their effort to gain absolute control over citizens. Nazi slogans from the time read: “Your body belongs to the nation! Your body belongs to the führer! You have the duty to be healthy! Food is not a private matter!” Today, they say it’s for the climate, but it is the same war against meats.

Last month, German international discount retailer chain Lidl announced that it will significantly reduce the proportion of animal products it offers because “there is no second planet.”

No matter where this trend is heading and no matter how many bugs will be in future burgers, we must see the bigger picture. We are living in a world hostile toward God and His laws (Romans 8:7). That includes God’s health laws outlined in Leviticus 11. God specifically shows that the eating of certain meats is good. He also condemns the eating of certain bugs. God calls unclean foods an “abomination.” Mankind today has rejected those laws and calls the abomination a delight.

Anytime the Bible forbids something, mankind does it. Anytime the Bible commands something, mankind does it not. The Bible says: You shall not eat all bugs. Mankind says: You shall eat bugs.

Though many people are upset about bugs being forced into their diet, they themselves have rejected God’s laws and thus invited such curses to increasingly befall modern society. To learn more, read “Is the Old Testament Reliable?

Social Credit Brazilian Style: All UBI Recipients Must be Vaxxed

Social Credit Brazilian Style: All UBI Recipients Must be Vaxxed


 By Mark E. Jeftovic

Anybody who seriously thinks that Universal Basic Income (UBI) programs of the future won’t be full-blown social credit systems need look no further than Brazil, where newly selected socialist / globalist Lula da Silva just decreed that the Bolsa Familia program will require family members to be vaccinated in order to continue receiving benefits.

“We can’t play, it’s a question of science. If I have 10 covid vaccines to take, I will take all that is necessary ”.

The news comes via The Rio Times, which describes the Bolsa program as “a social welfare program for the poorest families in Brazil” and “a kind of Universal Basic Income”.

UBI is considered by many to be beneficent and inevitable. I personally believe the latter but not the former.

However, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that if you’re dependent on The Saviour State for your sustenance (as Charles Hugh Smith calls it),  you are, in effect, their chattel.

CBDCs will be the rails for UBI programs

The emergence of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) initiatives in nearly every nation on earth clearly signals the direction this is going. Nearly every CBDC white paper or proposal I’ve come across have the following three characteristics spelled out in plain text, and I expect every CBDC to have these five capabilities baked-in, whether or not they are initially enabled (or  documented).

#1) Expiry dates / use-by dates

CBDCs will have expiry dates after which their value will evaporate or erode. What I’ve noticed is white papers coming out of central banks started framing it as a feature, not a bug, to facilitate “recovery of lost funds”.

Abstract
An important feature of physical cash payments is resilience, which is due to their indifference to power outages or network coverage. Many central banks are exploring issuing digital cash substitutes with similar online payment functionality. Such substitutes could incorporate novel features, making them more desirable than physical cash. This paper considers introducing an expiry date for online digital currency balances to automate personal loss recovery. We show that this functionality could substantially increase consumer demand for digital cash, with the time to expiration playing an important role. Having more information available to the central bank improves accuracy of loss recovery but may decrease welfare.
— Best Before Expiry? Expiring Digital Currency and Loss Recovery, Bank of Canada Staff Paper, December 24, 2021

However, the real reason CBDCs will have expiry dates is to stimulate money velocity and keep recipients dependent.

#2) “Anti-hoarding” features

Saving for the future is being rebranded as “hoarding” and it is becoming officially unfashionable because personal savings reduces dependancy on the state. The easiest mechanism for achieving this will be through negative interest rates on savings accounts, as per this IMF white paper,

“A world with lower inflation (and even zero inflation) and no persistent recessions may sound like a pipe dream, but we argue that it is possible by transitioning to an “electronic money standard.” Such a transition requires eliminating the zero lower bound, which central banks can achieve using readily available tools. Breaking the zero lower bound implies that the optimal rate of inflation will be lower than in the presence of the lower bound. This will empower central banks to quickly restore full employment and, over the medium term, possibly move toward targeting full price stability with zero inflation.”

…which goes on to outline the challenges there would be in eliminating the “arbitrage” between digital and physical cash:

A zero lower bound can be broken through a combination of (1) adopting or strengthening an electronic money standard in which electronic money is the unit of account and (2) implementing a time-varying interest rate (or more generally, rate of return) on paper currency (cash). Then, as the interest rate on cash moves in line with the official policy rates, there is no arbitrage between cash and money in the bank. Operationally this can be done while remaining quite close to the current monetary system, but there are several legal, communication, and political challenges to a transition to such an electronic money standard (Agarwal, and Kimball 2019).

(Despite the current rise in rates, once the money printers fire back up, this is where we’re headed.)

#3) Total Information Awareness

Once it’s digitized in a centralized database (central banks) – as opposed to being cryptographically secured on a decentralized blockchain (Bitcoin) – everything becomes known to central authorities instantly. Taxation can be applied per transaction; but, more interestingly – prices can also be modified on the fly.

If you’re behind on your property or income taxes – or have an unpaid fine (maybe because you’re fighting it), for example, they could simply enable a rolling garnishee on your wallet until it’s paid off.
