FEMA Contractor: Unrest After 395% Food Price Spike Coming Soon

Food prices predicted to increase by 400% by 2020 – FEMA contractor preparing for civil unrest.
Submitted by Claire Bernish via TheAntiMedia.org,
Preparations by various cogs of the national security complex, including FEMA, indicate a coming worldwide food shortage – and a resulting crisis marked by extreme civil unrest around the globe.
As Motherboardnoted of two reports published previously by CNA Corporation, but which largely escaped attention, the world?s food supply could be insufficient to maintain even current populations much further into the future. And the crisis ? which several factors indicate may already be underway ? may begin to worsen considerably as early as 2020.
Employing a desktop game simulation of the conditions of a global food shortage, titled ?Food Chain Reaction,? CNA?s Institute for Public Research brought together ?65 officials from the US, Europe, Africa, India, Brazil, and key multilateral and intergovernmental institutions,?Motherboard explained. And the Institute, which oversaw the simulation, ?primarily provides scientific research services for the Department of Homeland Security…

One Million Votes Never Counted in California
Uncounted: The True Story of the California Primary
Directed by Michelle Boley and Taylor Giel (2016)
Film Review
Uncounted is about the nearly one million California voters whose votes weren’t counted in the California primary.
The documentary focuses mainly on poll workers who directly witnessed vote suppression. This took several forms. Most common were voters who were erroneously purged from voting records, long time registered Democrats who were mysteriously switched to Republican (preventing them from voting in the Democratic primary), and voting machines that were pre-set not to count No Party Preference (NPP) or Democratic Crossover votes.
Most of the voters who were denied a vote were young, Hispanic or first time voters – all independent voters who overwhelmingly supported Bernie Sanders. Because most weren’t registered Democrats, they had to request an NPP or Democratic Crossover ballot. If they didn’t spontaneously request them, poll workers were required to give them a provisional ballot (Greg Palast refers to provisional ballots as placebo ballots as they tend not to be counted – see Placebo Ballots: Stealing California from Bernie Using an Old GOP Vote-Snatching Trick). Poll workers were specifically forbidden to ask voters if they wanted an NPP ballot.
When Hillary Clinton claimed victory in California on election night, 40% of the total ballots hadn’t been counted – as they were provisional. In precincts with a lot of student voters, as many as 80% of the ballots were provisional.
The film’s most shocking revelation concerns California’s new law allowing voters to register at their polling place on election day. This law should have totally eliminated the need for provisional ballots. Any voter not appearing on the electoral role could have simply re-registered. For obvious reasons, California’s Secretary of State, an active member of Clinton’s campaign team, has chosen not to implement the law.
Internationally US elections are ranked lowest among all western democracies for fairness and transparency.

Senate Report Clears Rousseff of Budget Manipulation

The report states there are no reasons to continue the impeachment process because President Dilma Rousseff had no direct participation, and according to the constitution the individual accused must bear direct responsibility. A major setback for CIA plotters seeking to overthrow Brazil’s leftist government.

Official reports say Dilma Rousseff is innocent of wrongdoing, but the impeachment process will continue.
A report prepared by analysts in the Brazilian Senate said Monday there is no evidence that suspended president Dilma Rousseff participated in fiscal wrongdoing, one of the causes that led to the opening of the impeachment process against her.

The Senate Impeachment Commission has 72 hours to analyze this report, and starting from July 5 they can interview the analysts. The vote to determine whether the impeachment will be confirmed is scheduled to be held on August 9.
teleSUR’s correspondent in Brazil, Ignacio Lemus, said the report indicates that Rousseff did not directly participate in a scheme to manipulate the budget.
No reasons to continue the impeachment process
According to Lemus, the analysts found that no direct actions were taken by Rousseff to delay payments to public banks by the Brazilian National Treasury.

Not Lovin’ It: McDonald’s To Close Over 500 Restaurants Worldwide To Stay Afloat

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving company. Besides shamelessly contributing to a global epidemic of obesity, heart disease and diabetes, they treat their employees like indentured servants.
YOUR PERCEPTION IS NOT REALITY
Source: Anon HQ
Even as the world’s biggest fast food chain moves its headquarters to a $250 million 608,000-square-foot complex in Chicago’s West Side in the spring of 2018, McDonald’s intends to close about 500 weaker-performing, company-operated locations worldwide in 2016 to bolster profits.
McDonald’s spokeswoman Becca Hary confirmed the announcement, released just days after it withdrew its branches from Middle Eastern and three Latin American countries, in an email to The Street:
“It’s important to note that while we will have a net reduction in restaurants [in the US], the impact is minimal in comparison to the 14,000 restaurants we operate across the US. We consistently review our restaurant portfolio and make strategic decisions to better position our business for the future.”
Suprisingly Mcdonalds doesn’t make the list!

Mother Jones Reporter Goes Undercover in Private CCA Prison
My Four Months as a Private Prison Guard
Mother Jones (2016)
Film Review
My Four Months as a Private Prison Guard is a troubling documentary about a Mother Jones senior reporter who goes undercover to work as a prison guard in a private Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) prison in Winnfield Louisiana. The film mostly consists of Shane Bauer’s video diary and interviews with other prison staff and former inmates. Cameraman James West, who attempted to film outside the prison, was arrested by sheriff’s officers for criminal trespass.
Filmmakers mainly focus on the extremely demoralizing working conditions. Entry level guards earn $9 an hour – even in Winn this is insufficient to live on. Working conditions are incredibly dangerous. To save money (and increase profits), CCA keeps staff numbers low, which means there are rarely sufficient security personnel to cope with inmate violence. In fact, guards at Winn Correctional Center are trained not to intervene in shank fights, which are a routine occurrence.
The failure to provide adequate food or medical or mental health care for inmates is even more shocking. Bauer highlights the case of a diabetic inmate who had to have several fingers and both legs amputated for gangrene because prison authorities refused to get medical attention for him.
Parts 2-6 start automatically when Part 1 ends.

1000’s Of British Refugees Make Dangerous Journey Across Irish Sea
THE IRISH coast guard has today issued a nationwide warning for the East Coast as hundreds of thousands of British refugees risk their lives to cross the Irish sea in an attempt to flee the impoverished and unstable nation.
Dinghies overflowing with desperate migrants are so far half way through their journey, many with women and children aboard, wishing to make a new start on the Emerald Isle.
“We have rescued hundreds of people from crafts due to overcrowding,” winchman Derek Ryan of Rescue 117 told WWN today. “It’s a terrible situation as many of these people are only hoping for a better quality of life in the EU”.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has called an emergency meeting in the Dáil this afternoon to help find a solution to the influx of British refugees.
