Let Them Eat Bugs

(inspired by something I wrote in 2013)

Anyone who knows me personally is aware that I have something close to a photographic memory. However, I’ve written so many articles, posts, books, essays, etc. in my life, that even I can’t possibly remember them all!

Case in point: I just accidentally happened upon a forgotten piece I wrote in May 2013 about the conditioning already in place to get us to accept insects as a food staple. To follow are some excerpts from that nine-year-old article — with current-day commentary mixed in.

Billions of humans are hungry, industrial propagandists have corrupted our understanding [sic] of nutrition, and much of how we’re programmed to eat is rapidly punishing the eco-system and ourselves. What are we gonna do? 

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in its infinite wisdom, suggests we eat insects and the corporate media jumps at the chance to publish articles with oh-so-clever titles like, “Some salt with your spider? U.N. says bugs good for you.”

(The USA Today article from 2013 is no longer available online.)

We already live in a culture that demonizes multi-legged creatures and thus, a culture dangerously saturated in pesticides and insecticides. 

However, instead of addressing the root conditions that create widespread hunger, poverty, and toxic pollution, we’re told to start factory farms for bugs.

We already have genetically-modified (GM) insects, can you imagine how badly the Parasite Class™ is salivating at the opportunity to mass market GM creatures as both food and feed?

Yes, feed. 

From a statement related to the 2013 FAO report, we learn: "Insects are pretty much untapped for their potential for food, and especially for feed."

As Dan Vergano, in that USA Today article, explained: The report “calls for making regulations more friendly to bug farming.” It also “suggests chefs can help raise the status of insects by incorporating them into recipes and menus.”

In addition, the FAO explained how “insect gathering and farming can also offer employment and income generation for people and businesses.”

GM feed for doomed animals, using chefs to raise the status for other doomed creatures, income generation, and yet more corporate-friendly deregulation? You may begin to wonder if this study was really about feeding hungry humans. 

Lucky for us, USA Today consulted an “expert on consuming edible bugs.” 

Entomologist Doug Yanega, a senior museum scientist at the University of California, Riverside, was happy to clarify: "The U.N. report is perfectly logical, looking at it objectively, but it is tough to convince people." 

Hey, when a “scientist” informs us that he’s looked at something “objectively,” who are we to differ?

“Honey bees,” Yanega expertly added, “are perfectly delicious.”

Transhumanism, World Economic Forum, Great Reset, control of our food and money and data, loss of privacy, honey bees for lunch, and all that — it’s not some recent offshoot of the so-called pandemic. This insanity has been in the works for a long time.

The sooner we accept that reality, the sooner we can find allies and create coalitions to tackle the urgent work of stopping a full takeover. 

How lucky are we? We’ve been chosen for the most important mission of all time — the survival of freedom and autonomy.
