Ice Age Farmer

Crops in the Americas are feeling El Niño, and Hormuz remains closed. The Atlantic Council calls it a worst case scenario: political collapse. The EU ran an exercise in 2024 with this scenario exactly, and recommended shifting diets away from meat. In fact, the policy recommendations from the IEA/FAO/UN all align strikingly well with the goals of the Net Zero agenda. It is critical to spread the w...

Record rains have stalled the U.S. corn and soybean harvest. Grain is sprouting and molding in the field, Europe's yields are down after heat/drought, and Black Sea grain ports are shut. Multiple breadbaskets are failing at once. This is precisely the scenario scripted in the 2015 Food Chain Reaction exercise, and the opening the technocrats want for tighter control of seed, farming, and access to...

A narrative is emerging around an AI-enhanced H5 (Bird Flu) pathogen, released on American farms, that will be used to advance many agendas from the biosecurity/biosurveillance state, to locking down access to AI models, to the end of animal agriculture. A former Homeland Security official published such a scenario on the very same day she authored the policy response, and Anthropic's recent warni...

Three weeks ago I said watch diesel as we go into harvest. Prices have exploded since; ExxonMobil’s Joliet refinery just shut down unexpectedly, and the situation in the Middle East keeps getting worse. Other voices are now also warning about crop abandonment as expenses are making a harvest economically unviable. Also: the USDA responds to one of my FOIAs about DARPA’s Tellus sensing-and-reportin...

Can heirloom seed make you self-sufficient? Are hybrids a trap? Steve Solomon once believed the hype: open-pollinated heirlooms over hybrids will set you free. Then he ran a seed company and trialed both. Much of what is sold as “heirloom” is old, poorly maintained commercial stock. Saving seed isn't as easy as one might think. This conversation is about what backyard seed saving can actually do,...

Can your garden feed you? Is organic food automatically nutritious? Steve Solomon spent decades believing it was. He and his family ate what he grew--and their health suffered. This set him on a quest to figure out what soil needs to produce actually nutrient-dense food. This conversation is about what was missing and how a homesteader or gardener can grow truly healthy food. Steve Solomon - The I...

The pressure on diesel continues to build heading into harvest. Prices have climbed further, on-farm inventories are low, Russia is extending its export ban, refining is running at historic stress levels, and farming associations in the UK and Germany are warning of a Food Crisis, as many producers may not have the cash to plant next season. Ground reports of delivery impacts are also starting to...

Grain shipments from both Russia and Ukraine have stopped as attacks continue on Black Sea ports and vessels. Farmers now face a severe crisis: unable to sell the harvest, many lack the cash to finish harvesting, let alone plant the next winter crop. Grain is being in the fields. This is a catastrophic failure in the global food supply. https://unshadowed.org https://unshadowed.org/support What do...

The world is hungry for grains and looking to the US...but diesel costs are already making the harvest economically unviable for many American farmers. We saw this before in Australia, where crops were abandoned and left in the ground. New data on inventories and demand just came out, and confirms we are rapidly entering an engineered food crisis. -- If you’re seeing any diesel allocation limits,...

Over the last six months, as strategic reserves have been released and issues papered over, the arteries of the global economy have closed. Oil reserves are now scraping bottom. Food and water crises have been declared. And the control systems that were once UN/WEF tabletop exercises have gone live. We are at the inflection point: the moment the technocratic system inserts itself between humanity...

Smart water meters with remote shut-off valves are rolling out now. They can automatically shut off your water after just 50 liters (13 gallons) per day ... or any arbitrary amount they decide. In Colorado, smart meters are already detecting and fining people for watering on the “wrong day." Munich is hitting gardeners with €50,000 fines. Ireland and France have "garden hose bans." This is the UN’...

Farmers in Russia report they can no longer get diesel. Suppliers are diverting fuel to western cities while rural areas are left dry. Even officials warn they must prepare for the “complete closure” of agriculture in the region. This is the canary in the coal mine. As the world burns through its strategic reserves to hide the energy shock, real farms are hitting the wall. No fuel means no plantin...

There is a coordinated push happening right now to replace traditional food with gene-edited, synthetic crops. At first it looks like normal business and innovation, but when you look closer you see something very different. In this video Christian breaks down an admission from Corteva Catalyst’s Senior Director Mathias Müller. He openly explained how Big Ag plans to let small startups do the risk...

The UN's FAO just warned of a major global food crisis triggered by the Strait of Hormuz conflict. In this video I decode their official policy recommendations and show what they actually mean for farmers and food production. From digital registries and surveillance to debt traps and corporate control, this is the technocratic takeover of food production hidden behind "resilience" language. The re...

European nations are starting to ration fuel--even as barge captains report they are not allowed to unload fuel onto the European continent. The UN has called this energy crisis a wonderful "moment to accelerate the energy transition," and the very same people who drafted climate agendas are now running the handling of the energy crisis. The technocrats are advancing their agendas at a breakneck s...

Countries worldwide are rolling out strikingly similar "energy austerity" measures overnight--including digital ID-based fuel rationing, 4-day workweeks, license-plate driving bans, AC temperature caps, and more--all in response to the latest crisis. But don't worry, they say, it's just for "2 weeks" ... let's talk about it. Substack: https://unshadowed.substack.com/p/two-weeks-to-flatten-the-fuel...

The media is now confirming what we've warned for years: energy lockdowns, food rationing, grounded planes, and the rapid dismantling of modern life are here. The IEA just issued their "emergency" playbook: speed limits, carpool mandates, no-fly zones, work-from-home pushes…all straight out of the Absolute Zero blueprint. The long-planned agenda for total control is going live. Let's talk about it...

Iran's Handala just wiped Stryker -- 200,000+ devices gone, global ops shut down in 79 countries -- and vowed "maximum chaos" is next. Imagine the same wiper hitting our just-in-time food distribution: shelves would run bare in days — even with food physically still there. The script is ready from CISA wargames, DHS advisories, media warnings, and Klaus Schwab's "makes COVID look like a minor blip...

Iran's escalating war is now striking on multiple fronts: massive cyber wiper attacks + real-world food and energy disruptions: Handala (Iran-linked)'s cyberattack on Stryker wiped data from 200,000 devices, halting operations. India's fertilizer production stopped due to LNG shortages, right before planting season. Fuel rationing hits West Australia (emergency-only sales) and Bangladesh, while Vi...

800 million people—roughly 10% of the world's population—now require biometric identification just to receive their monthly food rations. Fingerprints or facial scans are NOW mandatory at India's fair price shops, as digital ID systems like BritCard and the EU's Digital Wallet are being rolled out to support the technocrat's goal of a fully tokenized, blockchain-tracked food supply chains. How do...

Cyberattacks are now hitting the food supply chain. Less than 24 hours after my warning about vulnerabilities in U.S. food distribution and production, Qilin ransomware has hit Brothers Produce – Texas' largest fresh produce distributor supplying restaurants, schools, and military bases. Iranian hacker group Handala declares large-scale cyberattacks are incoming--and has already infiltrated a US b...

Experts and insiders are warning about a looming cyberattack on American critical infrastructure in retaliation for strikes in Iran. But it may not be the typical examples of the power grid or banks--food production is also highly vulnerable. The government has already been conducting tabletop exercises about what how such a cyberattack might cripple US farm activity. Christian breaks it down in t...

In the last 48 hours, major insiders are warning of Iranian cyber retaliation targeting US critical infrastructure and financial networks. This echoes Klaus Schwab’s “cyber pandemic” warning (“bring our society to a halt”) and Janet Napolitano’s 2013 prediction of a “cyber 9/11,” and aligns with long-standing technocratic agendas: AI regulation, digital currencies, and biometric/digital ID mandate...

In this talk from The People’s Reset 2026, Christian Westbrook (formerly Ice Age Farmer, now UNSHADOWED) bridges collapse awareness with regenerative design. “The question I heard most as Ice Age Farmer: “What can I do without land? I can’t afford acreage, I’m in the city/apartment, or caring for family...” The answer: Start with the zone you do control. Zone 00: your consciousness and inner lands...

Iran is set to be the first country to roll out a food rationing scheme based on new biometric IDs. Where vaccine passports failed, food passports will now be eagerly accepted by hungry people who can't afford rapidly inflating food prices. This is the realization of a longstanding agenda by the Rockefeller/UN/WEF crowd to, as Kissinger put it, "control food, and control people." Christian breaks...
