Marine tracker image showing over 500 cargo ships stacked at the port of Shanghai.
This is what zero covid policies do to global trade and supply chains.
Currently, 10 percent of container ships worldwide are stuck in congestion and bottlenecks.
The situation for ships waiting to load or discharge is even worse.
Everything from metal ores to grains are stranded. The result will be further inflation this year for everyone along with food scarcity for many countries.

The eco-nutters and globalists no doubt loving this. What better way to reduce western consumerism in the short and long term, by causing supply chain choas, and instigating inflation. Wouldn't be surprised if the CCP/WHO/WEF have engineered this economic war against the west, just as they engineered the virus. Shared on twitter. btw I couldn't post on your last essay about the virus having been here in Europe since the fall of 2019, as not a paid subscriber. But it was here in 2019 - we had it in December as did tens if not hundreds of thousands of people across Scotland. Also in England. First validated (front line health worker who got a subsequent antibody test) case I heard about was in December, but suspect many had in Nov, possibly Oct.

and this didn't happen overnight. the reports were coming in. at the same time the reports of covid deaths etc. being much, much less than feared. at the same time as reports of effective medications from such as Dr Kory et al. at the same time as chart comparisons showing measures, lockdowns, masks etc. doing no good whatever. at the same time as collateralglobal was predicting massive injury and death around the globe from the measures.
and our coprocephalic leaders in Aus. decided to continue with the measures. and forget all else.
and now the election is coming up and they want us to vote them in for another four years.
and you know what? they'll almost certainly get in.

Anyone remember the Coronavirus Act has a provision whereby food producers were obliged by the government to cooperate and report statistics of stock when asked ? 🤔🇬🇧🙀

This isn’t possibly about The VID anymore, although that’s what they want us to believe. This is sheer totalitarian oppression. The People In Charge don’t care one tiny whit about anyone or anything, as long as they get to remain in charge.
This is about instituting mass chaos and starvation and suffering for the sake of their own self-promotion and self-preservation.

Sometimes you gotta take some harsh medicine. Of course the tragedy began long ago when the IMF and World Bank criminal gangs destroyed local economies and hogtied leaders of poor countries to debts they could never repay. And I could never understand why American supermarkets carried NZ lamb. Kiwi fruit, sure. But lamb?
Now I can't understand why I'm eating radishes from Canada.

Why any legitimately managed corporation would NOT be pulling out of China at this point (if not in 2020), is beyond me! Especially all pharma, tech and critical-industry companies.
Quoth the Raven had a good take on this as well which I linked on Monday. I'd say this is a good way to take down the economy under the pretense of Covid!!!

I am rather overwhelmed by the many bigoted and conspiratory comments posted by readers. I just joined 'stack today and was hoping to read thoughtful comments by an informed, thoughtful reader community. I am quite disappointed in visiting my first article. Yes, globalization has revealed some significant unintended consequences and downsides, with a race to the lowest production costs (and salaries!). But OMG to state that Xi is using the lockdown to murder a couple of powerful people? Or some plot by globalists to disrupt global supply chain -- which would be the OPPOSITE of their interests! I will be a thinking person who avoids reading the site's comments.
Commie's will do anything and everything to stay in power including turning shanghai into a 25 million inmate prison. Over Omicron infections, bad head cold Omicron, really?
All this is war gamed by AI. One side initiates the move while the other uses it to their own advantage. There are no unintended consequences. The lockdown creates multiple shocks:
confidence in CCP dwindling
Global supply chain/ inflation
Hurts Biden regime support
Provides cover for other operations
Remember Russia just cleaned up Kazakhstan and is now cleaning Ukraine. China cleaned Hong Kong and is now cleaning Shanghai. Taiwan next.
A Picture is worth a Thousand Words
It's almost like they are doing this on purpose, ain't it?

This is why we should manufacture our own stuff. We should not be dependent upon China for this much.

Are you sure that's not the picture for cells being attacked by snake venom?
Trade war.

This whole Covid War may not have started off as an intentional depopulation event, but it is one now.

Who doesn't love a command economy? Central planning is pure joy and history proves it so.
Saw this picture the other day, linking your post today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

I wonder if this will effect the fentanyl crisis! Ha! Nothing will stand in that one’s way.
Probably a coincidence and not related...?

This is exactly the picture I was thinking I would like to see before I even sat down at the computer!
