In Yeltsin's Russia the maggots eat you. In Putin's Russia you eat the maggots

Most importantly - yes, you can simply breed them at home. You can have fresh food supplies in your drawers and cupboards!

I will say that chickens eat bugs. It's part of their natural diet and I don't object. Now as for the rest... I'll pass thanks. Even the name black soldier fly (maggots) doesn't seem appealing

This is the kind of news that most powerfully suggests some kind of closet collusion between The Hierarchy in the West and the one in Russia. This idea is so obviously disgusting to the vast majority of the Earth's population that there is no way the West AND Russia would be pushing it simultaneously.

Even given the grief in Ukraine and the economic and political op by the West against Russia, it is hard not to believe that "we the people" are on the receiving end of the biggest gaslighting operation in global history.

I've missed your keen observations on Linh Dinh's substack! Did you quit reading him Just Plain Bill?

Not at all--I'm still a big Linh Dinh fan. I get dozens of notifications every day about other blogger posts, but when I see there is a new Linh Dinh post in the morning, it's always the first one I read.

Even if you consider the elites passion for the environment to be genuine ( insert "you fool" in Gandalf's voice) you still have to face three easily observable facts:

- there are no countries with massive campaigns to plant trees..Governments could buy/produce them for pennies, then have kids/students plant them for free one day a month all over the country, while you teach kids about the importance of nature. Win/win. An yet it is not happening anywhere, instead we experience more and more restrictions to our lives due to climate emergency. One could argue trees do not consume much CO2, but everything helps.

- if you want cheaper and more environmentally friendly protein, there are legumes and nuts. Very healthy, full of protein and fibre, nuts also have plenty vit&minerals etc. Granted it is not a meat protein, but there are still options before you go down the road of bugs.

- we have genetically evolved to be disgusted by creepy crawlies. The fact that the elites wants us to eat them despite knowing what pushback they will get from people, I have no other explanation for this other than the elites holds the rest of humanity in strong contempt.

Sooner people wake up, less painful the inevitable clash will be..

Actually China is doing just this. I'll find a link. They have been investing heavily in reforestation.

Saudi Arabia and various gulf states as well are engaged in a lot of desert reclamation as well.

Jeff Lawton is a good follow on this, but I suspect you are aware of him. Just an ejikatid guess..

I agree with you regarding other protein supplies we can go to before we need to "eat the bugs". But there, we would still be talking traditional agriculture instead of 'bug ranches.' I think the unspoken concerns around the future of traditional food supply center on two things: 1) The increasingly perilous state of fresh water supply. 2) The vast over-dependence of agriculture on ammonia-based fertilizers largely produced using natural gas.

Of course, regenerative and organic farming methods can do away with those manufactured fertilizers, but in exchange we would have to accept a major reduction in crop yields. Reliable estimates show that we can't even come close to feeding the present global population if all farming goes down this route.

There are the perceived problems in a nutshell, hence the move to bugs. Like an earlier commenter observed, certain farm animals like chicken and other poultry eat bugs as a natural part of their diet. In general I could live with the practice of bug protein being used as one component of animal feed, assuming they can prove it is safe. But human consumption of bugs? Not me.

Why is it that, whenever "experts" spread great ideas to solve problems we didn't know exist, like eating "ze bugs", they always want others to try them out.

Btw. this is not the only thing he appears to be copying from the West:

Mishustin and the Minister of Communications Maxut Shadayev announced creating a system of tracking quarantine violation based on data of mobile network operators.

(from Wikipedia, which also says that he used to be tasked with importing Western computer technology)

Of course the idea of quarantines being non-productive is not entertained.

I mean, it was productive, just not in terms of viral control. It was great to centralize control. Worked a charm...

Look at the bright side, once coarse larvae flour becomes a main ingredient in food preparation insect exterminators will retool and become five star chef's. 👨‍🍳

Everything THEY (the Global Cult that rules the world including Russia) do is designed to dispirit you. The REAL WAR IS AGAINST YOU. THEY want to show you that they can do whatever the fuck they want with you.

The people in this cult are not masterminds. Psychopaths are inherently disintegrated. They live in TOTAL DELUSION. THEY can be defeated easily. All it takes is AWARENESS.

Franken-food is causing so many health problems already I can only imagine what processed bug food will do.

Interesting to see that there is no place on this planet safe from this journey into madness. Thank you.

Once the world switches to Central Bank Larval Currency this will be check and mate. My chickens are early adopters. They happily live in their 15 minute city , and don't complain that I consume their progeny. The SMO would be over already if these "patriots" would just know their place.

We live in wondrous times. Women can now rise in the pecking order. Because they can have peckers...

Shit, fuck, suka blat', kurwa mać, ja pierdole!

What about on Donbass front? Is "Russia" winning still?...

Sorry for the extreme vulgarity, but I had to.

They win some grass fields or a bombed out stalingrad type village here and there, costs is a about 100 Russian soldiers tho. So if you consider that winning.

But civilian residents of Donetsk and nearby towns are still being bombed by Nazi-kosher Bandera forcess? Has nothing changed since 2014?

This is obvious.

After all, feeding the Russians with worms and fly larvae, and establishing a digital and mRNA vaccinated concentration camp under the agenda of reptile-like face of Santa Klaus Schwab is more important, and cannot be disturbed by anything.... Especially with such tiny things as the non-war (SMO) on the Donbass, isn't it?

Wonderful red list 40 with rolo.

It's strange but Unz has been posting a couple more rolo's articles recently.

I fear rolo is right that internal strife will Be russia's future after Ukraine, just look at the 20th century. It's really very very sad.

I'm not advocating liberal democracy but at least compare the stability provided by it to the USA ( no Civil war since 1865) to the Russian regimes of the last/present monarchy, communism, and now gangland capitalism... I would like for Rolo to provide us which of these regimes are closest to his cherished autocracy? I believe his answer will be monarchy, but see where that left Rússia in 1917, and other moments before ( time of great troubles)

This photo of Denis Manturov is really great art. He looks like a saint with a halo (German word Heiligenschein is better). I got a feeling that he will sing in a few seconds the German Christmas carol "vom Himmel hoch da komme ich her und bringe euch neue gute Mär..." Translated to I come from heaven and have very good news: soon you will eat bugs as we close down agriculture like in the Netherlands and soon in other western countries.

I just can't believe that Russia is at the same path to hell at that subject as they always were so proud to have not at all GMO food.

Москва must ensure its food security in line with Agenda 2030 as stated at the latest G20 virtual summit hence the bug food:

"Our country will certainly continue to contribute to the balanced achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and to work on preserving the climate and biodiversity of our planet, the digital transformation of the global economy, and ensuring food and energy security."

But hey at least it will be non GMO larva.

The other day I called out Alex Krainer on his bullshit that Russia and China pushed back at the lockdowns etc.

He still thinks the sputnik V shot is safe.

Obviously, from Monaco it looks safe...
