I haven’t read the Global Flows document yet, but the Davos one puts a milder spin on the occasional bug eating people culling nuttery going on in here.
And this one:
How about the Alex Jones book about the Great Reset?
AJ is great capitalist, but nope. We good.
While we mock contributors to this thread and call them crazy (with the obligatory Alex Jones comparison to try and further denigrate them):
Mckinsey partnering with WEF to bring in the fourth industrial revolution:
“Five years after its founding, the Global Lighthouse Network, a World Economic Forum initiative in collaboration with McKinsey & Company, is no longer a vision but a proven reality. Network-designated Lighthouses can now be found across the globe. They represent every manufacturing sector and span more than 140 use cases and 130 member sites.”
"The second chapter of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has begun… "
Mckinsey has written various articles encouraging eating insects and the opportunities and profits available:
"Alternatives are protein-rich ingredients sourced from plants, insects, fungi, or through tissue culture to replace conventional animal-based sources."
"Consumer interest in non-meat-based protein options is increasing globally. Food industry players that want to capture the opportunity must understand the evolving market dynamics and where to place their bets."
“Insect: Crickets are the most common source of edible insects and a good source of protein. In fact, some producers are already milling crickets for flour. However, it is currently cost prohibitive to isolate protein from the flour as the cost of the crickets is high, making the process difficult to scale. Food producers are also exploring using grasshoppers as an edible insect source, but development is still in an early stage. Other insects are more commonly used for the feed industry. Ynsect uses mealworm, while Protix uses black soldier flies.”
If insects aren’t your thing, mold is an option:
“Mold protein, meanwhile—or mycoprotein—is typically composed of whole, unprocessed, filamentous fungal biomass, commonly known as mold. It is mixed with eggs to create a meat-like texture for commercial products. It has been around since the 1980s and is produced through fermentation of biological feedstock. Mycoproteins are sold as a meat substitute primarily in Europe, and interest is growing in the US market as well, though consumer interest is still dampened by negative perceptions.”
Mckinsey is just a group that publishes stuff that aligns and supports the globalist agenda. A constant stream of banal-sounding bs: "How to be a better globalist? What do you need to do to succeed? Here is the way things will be, you will need to adapt, partner up with govts, collect more data, be flexible, diversify… " and so on and so on. They do not much more than constantly push the UN, WHO and WEF 2030 agendas. That’s really their core activity.
It all boils down to more power and wealth in the hands of a few. Controlling the world’s food supply is part of their agenda, yes. If you want to be one of those few, then, as Klaus says:
(But with bone broth soup, salmon, and cow served up at Davos 2023. And NDAs signed to ensure no one knows who eats what (around min 12). Caterer admits nothing is sustainable about the menu):
Will we all be eating bugs? Who knows? But it is clear that’s part of the plan is to increase their mass consumption, while the elites eat what they want and make sure we don’t know about it.
Klaus says winners will take all, and Mckinsey tells you where to place your bets. Follow their lead and utopia will emerge.
People are already eating bugs. What of it?
Nothing. Each to their own. I love me some bugs.
The thought that occurs to me is this. They clearly know that producing bug meal is resource- and energy-intensive (“it is currently cost prohibitive to isolate protein from the flour as the cost of the crickets is high, making the process difficult to scale”). In other words it emits even more “carbon” than cows and chickens. So the whole project is nonsensical on the face of it, but apparently the Greta Thunberg crowd haven’t noticed this minor issue.
My gut feeling is that at some point - when they’ve killed all the animals, sent the farmers off to work in blue cubicles, and issued the ration books - they’ll suddenly “discover” this unfortunate problem (“nobody could have foreseen this”), and this will become the basis of rationing protein (“we have not yet done enough to reduce our emissions!”). Since humans become extremely ill without complete protein, people will do anything to secure their weekly scoop of cockroach powder. In other words the fact that bug protein is resource- and energy-intensive is a feature not a bug (hahaha).
Or cockroach milk.
“When it comes to carving out a chiselled beach body, it’s time to forget about chugging creatine and protein shakes, because the next big thing in muscle-building is drinking cockroach milk.”
"…an international team of scientists thinks cockroaches, or more specifically, cockroach ‘milk’, could be a key strategy to combat global hunger. To this end, they’ve successfully sequenced a protein crystal found in the critters’ midgut. This crystal is four times as nutritious as cow’s milk, and works like a high-calorie, time-released superfood that could potentially save lives in resource-deprived regions of the world.
“The crystals are like a complete food”, said Sanchari Banerjee, one of the researchers. “They have proteins, fats and sugars. If you look into the protein sequences, they have all the essential amino acids. It’s time-released food, if you need food that is calorifically high, that is time released and food that is complete. This is it.”
Those who struggle to take in the calories required for life in impoverished regions could be fed with a substance synthesized from these crystals…"
I eat lobster. It’s horrendous.
Now this sounds delicious:
"Diploptera punctata, which is the only species of cockroach known to be viviparous – able to bring forth live babies that have developed within the mother’s body, instead of the mother laying eggs to develop outside her body.
Like other viviparous creatures, this species of roach nourishes its growing embryos with a protein-rich liquid secreted by its brood sac – the roach version of a uterus.
Soon after the embryo ingests the liquid, protein crystals develop within its midgut.
The “milk” is a liquid-like substance the mother roach pumps out of her uterus to feed her live, wriggling young."
Yum yum.
Make the most of it while you still can.
What the … I can’t even.
How do normal, moderately-intelligent human beings consider this to be a sensible project to engage in? They’re actually talking about milking cockroaches.
This. It started with cow farts being a thing to clutch your pearls over.
Got to be in it to win it.
At least they’re working on a vaccine.
Can a vaccine for cows slash methane emissions?
Billy will sort it all out: “ArkeaBio, one startup working on a vaccine that could be administered to cattle, sheep, and goats, just raised a seed round of $12 million led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures, the climate-focused fund started by Bill Gates.”
Jeezy Cristo, do you want to start a betting pool for when they ban individuals from raising their own food? Cows, and chickens and pigs, oh my!
