1) A small example thread using biofuel ideology to explain.

2) Boris Johnson has proposed dropping biofuel mandates as an approach to quickly produce more food for people. Germany agrees but Joe Biden is blocking.

3) In the U.S. the Biden administration has mandated (they call it a waiver, but that's a misnomer) that ethanol must increase from 10% to 15% for use in gasoline. That's the E15 "waiver."

4) All gasoline refineries must prove they are using the biofuel by sending receipts for their purchase. These are called purchase credits (known as Renewable Identification Numbers, or RINs).

The purchase receipts or RIN credits must be sent to the EPA.

5) Any gasoline refinery that does not use E15 must purchase these RIN credits from parties that blended or imported biofuels directly.

This sets up a secondary income stream, a trading market for the larger oil companies, refineries and importers.

6) E15 requires a complete change in the infrastructure of the gasoline company from the refinery to storage, to transportation and eventually to the retailer.

E15 infrastructure does not widely exist. So, most gasoline refineries use the RIN credit system to sell non E15 gas.

7) The price of the RIN credits becomes embedded in the price of the gasoline.

When a mandate for E15 year-round is in place, that drives up the cost of gasoline, because more RIN credits need to be purchased. (Current Biden policy)

8) Think of it this way. Metaphor: The govt requires that margarine be used instead of butter in making bread.

The bread makers do not have equipment that will support the use of margarine instead of butter (and the bread customer does not want margarine).

9) The govt gives the bread maker the option of paying $1 to the USDA for not using margarine and to continue using butter.

The bread maker is forced to make a decision. Change equipment ($$$) or pay $1 to govt for each continued loaf of bread using butter.

10) The result of bread makers not switching to margarine means each loaf of bread now costs an additional $1 to you the customer.

This bread example is analogous to the RIN credit gasoline refinery issue with biofuels.

11) Mandating increased use of biofuels for gasoline is one part of the climate change agenda. ie. The Green New Deal and/or 'Build Back Better' policy agenda.

12) Mandating increased use of biofuels also means farmland used for human food production is now switched to create biofuel.

PM Johnson proposed dropping this approach in order to quickly produce more food with a pending global food shortage looming.

13) Justin Trudeau (Canada) and Joe Biden (USA) blocked the approach to increase food production, saying the climate change agenda is more important than feeding people.

14) NATO and Western Govt, led by the policy of Joe Biden have placed oil and gas sanctions against Russia.

Those U.S-led Russian energy sanctions follow similar sanctions already in place against oil and gas from Iran and Venezuela.

15) Simultaneously the G7, Western Alliance will not allow Africa to develop their own use of natural gas to produce fertilizer to increase crop yield/harvest.

The G7 control food production in Africa by controlling the energy company investment needed to manufacture fertilizer.

16) Again, as with the biofuel issue, the G7 and Western Alliance are prioritizing Climate Change energy policy over food production. Which will ultimately cause food shortages and famine.

17) However, now the "WEST" has an ideological problem.

People will figure this out. The absence of food will change things. People will get angry once they realize the absence of food is being caused by Western Govt prioritizing Climate Change over people.

18) Things will get intense. Things will get ugly. The Western "leaders" need a scapegoat, a way to focus the world's anger away from them... and toward something else.

19) Their already visible plan (Kirby example) is to place the blame here 👇

20) When the food shortage becomes serious, I mean when it really becomes serious, the blame escalation will need to increase in direct proportion to the hunger, famine and starvation.

This means they will need a direct war with Russia.

21) All of this "globally," which includes the energy driven inflation surfacing in the nations participating in the Build Back Better energy policy approach, is being driven by nations in Yellow.👇

This is the geopolitical battle, a narrative war, ahead of the looming hot war.
