Food prices have continued to rise

Largest Price Increase EVER For Cereal, Fruits, Veggies, And Soups Has Already Occurred And Prices Are Still Rising …

12 August 2022

While the national media continues to gaslight Americans about how great the economy is doing, despite being in a recession, Americans just ‘can’t see’ it they claim, all the while those same Americans are seeing their grocery bills continue to rise, are being forced to eat more chicken in place of beef because they cannot afford beef as often, all the while spending approximately $4 a gallon for gas to commute to work, or shop, or travel anywhere, the disconnect between the media propaganda and reality for millions of Americans continues to increase.

Oh, and about those gas prices, the Biden regime, with the help of the national media, are busy touting how the prices have decreased, yet ignore the fact that prices are still 23% higher than last year.

The national average this time last year was $3.18, over 23% cheaper, according to the AAA. Demand for oil remained low but was slowly rebounding, which the AAA noted might cause the drop in prices to slow or halt.

Prices have remained high in California and Hawaii, where gas is still $5.56 and $5.43 respectively, the highest in the nation, the AAA reports. The lowest prices were in South Carolina and Texas, where gas has fallen to $3.71 and $3.69 respectively, meaning the national average was still almost 15% cheaper at the same time last year than even the cheapest states today. …

It isn’t just the Russia/Ukraine war causing price hikes and food shortages, but the unprecedented amount of food processing plants and food manufacturers that have gone up in flames, quite literally in many cases, is also sabotaging Americans’ ability to feed their families.

Another issue adding to the food supply chain woes is severe drought which is causing “widespread crop failures” throughout the US and Europe, …

We have seen the largest increase EVER in prices for consumables like cereal, soups, fruits and veggies, while items such as eggs & dairy products are fast rising to those types of levels. https://allnewspipeline.com/Largest_Increase_EVER_For_Cereal.php

As far as Russia and Ukraine, and even droughts go, notice our Bible News Prophecy video:

Russia, Ukraine, Food, & the ride of the 3rd Horseman of the Apocalypse

Did you know that the sanctioned lands of Russia and Belarus are dominant suppliers of ingredients used in modern fertilizers? Are you aware that the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that 33% of the farmland in Ukraine may not be planted and/or harvested because of Russia’s ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine? Are parts of the world like Sudan, Lebanon, and the USA experiencing food price inflation? What about impact on the Palestinians in Gaza? Could any of this help lead to the rise of the King of the South? What are some factors that look to increase rice prices? Did Jesus warn of wars and troubles? What are three foods that Ukraine exports that are associated with the shortages and food price inflation of the ride of the third horseman of the Apocalypse? What does Jesus say His followers should do? Dr. Thiel addresses these matters in this video.

Here is a link to the video: Russia, Ukraine, Food, & the ride of the 3rd Horseman of the Apocalypse.

As most of you are well aware, the Bible warns of food shortages and pestilences. Nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus taught:

7…And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8)

We seem to be in the time Jesus called “the beginning of sorrows.”

Price explosions: German supermarkets attach anti-theft devices to staple foods

Berlin Inflation is causing food prices to skyrocket, and further price increases are forecast for the next three months. This was the result of a survey by the ifo Institute, as reported by ARD. More and more people can no longer afford these horrendous prices and are driven to desperate acts with the number of thefts increasing.

Supermarkets have been taking countermeasures – with anti-theft devices.

A supermarket in Berlin-Weißensee has now attached security markings to some types of meat – yellow stickers with the inscription “Secured article”.

The anti-theft devices also appear to be used in other supermarket branches. On Twitter, a user shared a photo showing the yellow stickers on butter. She wrote: “I think it hacks Lidl! Have we gotten to the point where regular butter has to be protected against theft with a security tag?”

When asked, supermarket chain Aldi did not rule out such theft prevention either, but, like Lidl, Rewe, Netto and Norma, did not want to comment publicly on security measures. https://freewestmedia.com/2022/08/13/price-explosions-german-supermarkets-attach-anti-theft-devices-to-staple-foods/

Food shortages and food price inflation are associated with the ride of the third horseman of the Apocalypse:

5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” (Revelation 6:5-6)

The prophecy of the third horseman of the Apocalypse is starting to come to pass.
