Description

One of the results of the Ukraine War has been the increased global recognition of the important role played by Ukrainian grain in feeding large swaths of the international population. Now it turns out that a number of international firms, including notorious financial institutions like Blackrock and Vanguard, have been snapping up Ukrainian farmland. Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula and journalist Don DeBar discuss how these firms’ dumping of cheap Ukrainian wheat on the Polish market has undermined Poland’s support for the war.

No country should be able to own farm land or land for that matter in another country.

It’s easier to control the worlds food supply if you own all the farmland.

That transnational corporations are overtaking the grain market in Ukraine echoes what corporations did to Latin America (and other countries). The new imperialism. Don Debar is a great guest!

Every tragedy is followed by horrid actions by the rich, and we have to pretend none of these tragedies are planned. How do they profit every single time? How does all this land loss always end up in the same hands?

They own everything. What they don't own they have plans to own. George Carlin has a bit about it. He saw it decades ago.

"BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street manage a stunning $15 trillion in combined assets, equivalent to more than three-quarters the size of the US economy." Dissolve all of these companies and externally audit all of their employees of the past 40 years.
