The world is enduring a "mega-crisis," between food, energy, and geopolitical crises, says Willem Middelkoop, CDF founder and author. He refers back to his call on a forthcoming, "super inflation crisis," which has now snowballed into catastrophe, he tells our Daniela Cambone at this year's Swiss Mining Institute conference. Central banks around the world have no choice right now but to, "create a recession, a soft landing," Middelkoop surmises. "Gold is the anti-dollar now," he states, and there will always be a war on gold from prominent financial institutions. Middelkoop concludes we have entered The Big Reset, "and it's time to get conservative and defensive," with your capital.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) today launches the findings of SIPRI Yearbook 2022, which assesses the current state of armaments, disarmament and international security. A key finding is that despite a marginal decrease in the number of nuclear warheads in 2021, nuclear arsenals are expected to grow over the coming decade. https://sipri.org/media/press-....release/2022/global-

Ukraine has lost a quarter of its arable land since Russia's invasion, notably in the south and east, the deputy agriculture minister said Monday while insisting that food security is not threatened. "Despite the loss of 25 percent of arable land, crop planting this year is more than sufficient" to ensure food for the population, Taras Vysotskiy told a news conference. https://www.barrons.com/news/u....kraine-has-lost-25-o

“We have been silent witnesses of evil deeds; we have been drenched by many storms; we have learnt the arts of equivocation and pretence; experience has made us suspicious of others and kept us from being truthful and open; intolerable conflicts have worn us down and even made us cynical. Are we still of any use? What we shall need is not geniuses, or cynics, or misanthropes, or clever tacticians, but plain, honest, and straightforward men. Will our inward power of resistance be strong enough, and our honesty with ourselves remorseless enough, for us to find our way back to simplicity and straightforwardness?” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

WTO declares 'Polycrisis', requiring global government, as no one country can solve it — a worldwide problem/reaction/solution:

“This polycrisis... is really unprecedented. And what is very central to all of this is that no one country can solve this crisis on its own. This is the time that you need the world working together. You need global solidarity,” she said.

The WTO chief drew attention to export controls, which, as she repeatedly stated, should be eased in order to avoid making an already dire situation worse. [IAF: this was precisely the script from Podesta's 2015 'Food Chain Reaction Game']

So this is the "Global problems require global solutions" narrative now for food shortages, as has also been used with "climate crisis" and covid.
