Ann Barnhardt: DOUBLE RED ALERT (Soros buying up farmland)

Double Red Alert

Posted by Ann Barnhardt - June 24, AD 2011 9:01 AM MST

Two HUGE intel leads in my email box this morning from way-back contacts that I've had for years, that are actually somewhat connected concepts.

1. File this one under "Now It All Makes Sense". A Missouri farming and ranching contact just got off a conference call wherein he was informed that the federal government is sending out letters to all of the flooded out farmers in the Missouri River flood plain and bottoms notifying them that the Army Corps of Engineers will offer to BUY THEIR LAND.

Intentionally flood massive acreage of highly productive farmground. Destroy people's communities and homes. Catch them while they are desperate and afraid and then swoop in and buy the ground cheap. Those evil sons of bitches.

2. Speaking of evil sons of bitches, George Soros appears to be "investing" in farmground through the same puppet company that he used to get into the grain elevator and fertilizer business. The company is called Ospraie Capital Management and is buying up farmground in a joint venture with Teays River Investments as a partner. Here is that announcement:

Click Here: http://www.absolutereturn-alpha.com/Article/2242566/Ospraie-Launches-JV-Agriculture-Fund.html

Okay. Here's the connection. This Ospraie outfit was a hedge fund specializing in commodities that was started and run by some cocky child who didn't know how to trade bear markets and got his butt kicked into next week in the grain market of 2008. He also lost a fortune trying to trade RARE EARTH METALS. In fact, it was so bad that he had to shut his fund down because he had promised his investors that he would give them all of their investment money back if the fund lost more than 30% in one year. Whoopsie.

But it appears that Soros swooped in and saved the day because this Ospraie is the "co-investor" with Soros that bought the remnants of ConAgra's trading operation and renamed it . . . Gavilon. In the industry, it is widely acknowledged that Ospraie IS Soros. That three-page article citation is here, copy and paste the URL into your address bar:

http://money.cnn.com/2008/11/12/news/companies/ospraie_demos.fortune/index.htm

As you probably remember, Gavilon just recently bought both DeBruce Grain out of Kansas City and the biggest grain elevator company in the Pacific Northwest, thus making Soros (who is the money behind Gavilon through both his own Soros Fund Management AND his de facto control of Ospraie) the third-largest grain company in the U.S. with 280 million bushels of storage capacity, behind only Archer Daniels Midland (542 million bushels storage capacity) and Cargill (344 million bushels storage capacity). That citation is here:

http://www.world-grain.com/News/News%20Home/Features/2010/12/A%20powerful%20signal.aspx?p=1

Bottom line: Soros, through Ospraie, is buying up farmground. Please also note that the hotlink citation above is dated June 26, 2009. My contact says this has been going on for two years - and also remember what I told you about farmground prices inflating wildly, especially in Illinois. I have personally confirmed farmground in Illinois selling for $13,000 per acre within the last month, whereas that same kind of ground in Illinois was going for $5500 per acre the day Obama was inaugurated.

Spread the word.

Control the food, control the population.

Note ConAgra mention in article. Twenty years ago, I heard ConAgra was the name to watch in that "control." Now that Soros has renamed it, it looks like "Gavilon" is the new one to remember.

BTW, who authorizes the Army Corps of Engineers' activities, for example the blasting of the New Madrid levee, which resulted in the flooding of 130,000 acres of MO farmland?

Control the food producing land and eventually you control population growth or size.

The one worlders want to get rid of about 5 billion of us they consider...excess.

That sort of fits like a puzzle piece right next to the fact that there were some Nazis who lamented the fact that Christianity had spread throughout the West. They believed that Islam was a superior "religion" and an ideology that they could have put to better use.

That’s a really chilling list. As usual, chock-full of ignorant, elitist leftists who know how to do everything better than “the peasants.”

"Not many people I know can just sit and devote 2 hrs to watching and listening to a video."

They do it w/ movies and sitting around watching tv. You don't have to watch it, just have it on in the background. There is MUCH info there, probably too much to do in less than 2 hours.

the people who have been hurt here and in other places need to start trying and stringing up the bureaucrats and toadies who provide, direct and implement these policies.

Or else we all die.

He’s doing it to survive the coming collapse.

One he played a large role in propagating(assuming you mean Soros)....humans seem to never learn their lesson when it comes to tyrants/despots.

...until it's too late.

Thanks much for the link! I know one of the newest mega-mega farms is in Canada on Indian land that has brought in Wall Street type investors. http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/03/26/sprottresources-farm-idUSN2651097520090326 Sprott is hardly the only Mr. Moneybags investor in One Earth Farms

That was a major crime against humanity. Glenn Beck mentioned it but no one else. Cairo Illinois should have been sacrificed not the Missouri farmland

The democrats and the wealthy who own them have been slaughtering millions for decades as a means to empower their agendas. The current methodology is even more purposeful murder of miilons than the use of the abortion holocaust the democrats arranged, defended, funded, and exploited. By controlling the production of food raised here and elsewhere, these demonic bastards will murder tens of millions in far off countries having hungry faces to feed who will be starved out of existence for ‘utilitarian purposes’. Soros is as evil as any one man can get, and he buys and sells minor minions of dead souls who do his evil bidding. But Soros is not the larger power broker, it is the few banking families who are even more powerful aqnd better hidden from scrutiny than George the deadsoul Soros. Agenda 21 is being carried out before our eyes and we don’t even realize it. Barry the bass turd was placed in his position to be used by those who own him.
