‘Soybeans power third-quarter growth in the US’

Soybeans growing in USA

The economy of the USA reported more growth than it had been, partially because of the export of soybeans:

Soybeans power third-quarter growth in the US

October 28, 2016

The US economy has grown at its fastest pace in two years as a huge surge in farm exports, notably soybeans, and a rebound in inventory investment offset a slowdown in consumer spending.

Economic output of the world’s largest economy grew at a rate of 2.9 percent between July and September, the strongest quarterly expansion since the same period 2014, according to a first estimate released by the US Commerce Department on Friday.

The rise in US gross domestic product (GDP) was stronger than expected by analysts, who had forecast a third-quarter growth rate of 2.5 percent. …

US soybean exports were a main driver after poor harvests in Argentina and Brazil – the world’s largest soybean exporters -this summer left US producers to fill the gap. Moreover, prices for the farm commodity surged in markets due to the shortfall in South America. http://www.dw.com/en/soybeans-power-third-quarter-growth-in-the-us/a-36190445

So, because of problems in South America, the economy of the USA was able to benefit by selling more, and higher priced, soybeans.

But what kind of soybeans does the USA produce?

Well, mainly genetically-modified ones:

Soybeans are one of the “biotech food” crops that have been genetically modified, and genetically modified soybeans are being used in an increasing number of products. In 1995, Monsanto company introduced glyphosate-tolerant soybeans that have been genetically modified to be resistant to Monsanto’s glyphosate herbicides through substitution of the Agrobacterium sp. (strain CP4) gene EPSP (5-enolpyruvyl shikimic acid-3-phosphate) synthase. The substituted version is not sensitive to glyphosate.

In 1997, about 8% of all soybeans cultivated for the commercial market in the United States were genetically modified. In 2010, the figure was 93%.As with other glyphosate-tolerant crops, concern is expressed over damage to biodiversity. (Soybeans, Wikipedia, accessed 10/28/16)

The increased reliance on genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) by farmers in the USA is putting the USA itself at risk of massive crop failures and potentially famines.

While South America had problems this year, does anyone think that the USA itself cannot be hit with problems?

The so-called ‘damage to biodiversity’ is a bigger risk than most realize.

If some weed or pest takes over with the ability to decimates items resistant to Monsanto’s glyphosate herbicides (like RoundUp), the USA could lose both its soybean and corn crops–corn is an even bigger crop for the USA (about 3 1/2 times bigger) and the vast majority of it is genetically-modified.

In the “Great Depression” most Americans and Brits had skills in growing food. This is no longer the case. Furthermore, modern crops have gotten more complicated as so many seeds are hybrids that they will not actually grow the type of foods most in the USA and UK are used to having. The coming food problems will also get worse once one or more genetically-modified crops suffers from some type of pestilence. The USA, to cite one example, could lose virtually all of its soy or corn because of the dependence on genetically modified versions.

Notice something that Ezekiel was inspired to write:

15 ‘So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a lesson, and an astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken. 16 When I send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you and cut off your supply of bread. 17 So I will send against you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’” (Ezekiel 5:15-17)

Notice that this shows famine, then pestilence, and then the sword. The above sequence seems to be slightly different than that Jesus listed as part of the “beginning of sorrows” (Mathew 24:7-8) as the sword comes afterwards:

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

7 But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. (Mark 13:7-8)

Now, since the sword should begin the Great Tribulation, the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), it may be that the ‘sword’ is hitting lands other than the USA first, with the USA and other lands also being affected by “rumors of war.”

Hunger and disease problems look to strike the Anglo-Saxon descended nations prior to the start of the Great Tribulation.

The increasing use of genetically modified organisms for many of the grain crops in the USA is putting parts of humanity at major increased risk of unintended consequences such as famine and disease pestilences. Already, most of the corn and soy beans produced in the USA are genetically-modified. Soon, much of the wheat may also be. Directly and indirectly, the USA and its Anglo-allies will cause most of the problems that it will be experiencing in the next several years.

As Jesus said:

37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch! (Mark 13:36-37)

Tougher times are coming. And for some parts of the world these tougher time may be here now. People who can prepare, should: both spiritually and physically.

Because of sin, greed, and ignorance, America has been into producing genetically-modified foods. These “foods” are genetically identical which makes them susceptible to total elimination via famine-causing pestilential organisms. This is the so-called lack of biodiversity risk.

I have long suspected that the time will come when some type of pestilence will hit America’s genetically-modified grain crops like soybeans and corn and wreak havoc on the land. Enough so, that this may embolden its enemies to attack Britain and/or the USA to begin the Great Tribulation.

The time is coming when the USA will have severe food shortages. And at that same time, the USA may have to provide grain to China and other creditors that it owes when some Americans will be starving. The reliance on genetically-modified grain crops will likely contribute to disaster in the USA. It may even contribute to food inflation.

Yet, Congress and the US President have provided protection for the main company that produces these organisms (see Anniversary of the ‘Monsanto Protection Act’). Genetically modified organisms are not natural foods.

The Europeans are not nearly as close as the USA for the risk GMO problems, yet the USA has pressed them to accept GMOs (see TTIP: The USA hopes to crush Europe with GMOs?). The Europeans are also at less risk because their animal husbandry practices (watch Are Americans & Asians setting themselves up for destruction from antibiotic use?).

Thousands of years ago, God inspired one of his prophets to pen the following, which encourages people to eat what is good:

2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. (Isaiah 55:2)

Intentionally eating GMOs, in my view, is not good. Furthermore, as scientists disregard God, they are also creating living organisms that combine DNA from animals and even humans together.

The economy of the USA has appeared to benefit from GMO exports this past quarter, but the massive risk that the USA is taking with its crops will lead to disaster in the future.

This is not good and is an indication that many leaders in the world have truly lost many semblances of morality.
