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.

They’ll force all humans into the cities. Sounds crazy? They’ve published this plan repeatedly.

Agenda 21, sustainable growth, wildlands project, etc. Call it what you will, it's just the ame product under a different label.

...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’.

Considering that they have continued to send billions of dollars we don't have to questionable governments overseas, it is entirely conceivable that the people they intend to go hungry are us.

"Though they claim to be hoarding food stuff throughout the world for their membership it is really for those in the upper hierarchy and "appointed" to escape any pending catastrophe which might occur. The members frankly are screwed...and being screwed by this organization."

I have to disagree. I saw with my own eyes boxes and boxes and boxes of Mormon food that had been given to a poor Mormon Mexican woman and she put them under her trailer and didn't use most of the stuff. I saw this when she died and all the the boxes of food were pulled out from under her trailer.

The idea is there is little which is overseen by any authority other than their leadership....the facts you’ve claimed that this woman hoarded what she was given and never used it attests to the fact yet again...who really is in charge among them.

1. There have been posts here in recent weeks about huge tracts of land in sub-Saharan Africa being bought up for agricultural purposes. George Soros was mentioned as being a participant.

2. Jimmy Rogers, the commodities guy was on the Glenn Beck show a week or two ago. Just some generalities on what the future holds. But he mentioned that agriculture has been such a lousy business for the past few decades, and that Ag schools have been turning out a decreasing number of people. (I don’t profess to know a thing about agriculture). But he maintains that food prices will continue to sky rocket, and there wi be an increasing need of people with farm skills.

Our enemy is very well organized and their plan is advanced.

What are WE doing to deter them from their plans?

LOL...I’m *SCREAMING* at my monitor ...LOL...I find it incomprehensible, that in seconds, you can have all sorts of research at your fingertips. I’m so tired of stoopid and lazy!

As my SO says: “THINK!!!, MORE THAN YOU HAVE TO!”

I give up!

“Yep and I get the sinking feeling that most of that 5 billion will be white people”...
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

How could “most” of that five billion be white people when there are not nearly five billion on the Earth? I think you can see what I mean. According to most recent figures there are not quite seven billion on the planet and white people are a small minority of the total. I don’t believe the entire white population comes anywhere close to half of five billion.

you are out of your mind.

the idea that any one person or entity can “control the food supply” is ridiculous.

Only as far *out of my mind* [sic] as you are just plain stoopid.

I know searching is not your forte. I'll not do it for you. You might learn more that way.

Tell that to the 7,000,000 Ukrainians in the 1932-1933 genocide under Stalin. <----[hint] there are enough keywords in that sentence to get you what you need to know.

***going back to screaming at my monitor!!!!!!!!!!*** GEESH!

There is a long Youtube movie revealing the starving of millions in the Ukraine under Stalin. He sent troops to collect ALL the grain raised there, and while there the troops collected all the potatoes and other garden vegetables for themselves! With the way the democrat party works to divide the nation into factions (think union dole) and racial mobs, you can easily imagine sending certain trained operatives (think N.E. union thuggery) into regions where food scarcity is planned for the struggling population not wearing barry the bastard's mark of obedience.

SHHHHHHHHHHHH! Don’t tell beebuster2000.

I know some of the history of these hard-working stalwart people. My grandmother came from Kiev, Ukraine in a remarkable escape from Stalin henchmen in 1932 through Ellis Island. Her father remained on the farm to guard it and his beloved work horses. Family legend said he was shot by the NKVD, who found him sharing horse meat with his starving neighbors, his own work horses he had killed and butchered.

It's been a while since I've run across someone who writes a non sequitur of their own post. Meh. Good luck and godspeed.
