"War: a massacre of people who don't know each other for the profit of people who know each other but don't massacre each other."

— Paul Valéry (1871–1945)

The "raw materials of fertilizers" can't get out of the Straight of Hormuz, and farmers all over the world are panicking.

It made me think about my field of olive trees. We are very small scale, with 26 trees and no irrigation system. Because the trees were neglected by their previous owner, and also due to an extremely hot and dry summer, we had no crop last year. But the trees are pruned now, and we gave them some organic cow poo fertilizer (we are organic, but our neighbors are all in on chemical warfare).

When we were getting fertilizer, we had the choice between chemical fertilizer (Hormuz) and local cattle poo. Chemical fertilizer is cheaper in the short term but it washes out of the soil. You need to put it on every year. Cow poo is almost twice the price, but the trees only need it every two or three years.

The cow poo feeds and restores the soil. The Hormuz fertilizer degrades the soil and poisons the sea with nitrogen runoff

I am struck by how global crop yields will crash without the Hormuz fertilizer. I'm hardly a farmer, but that sounds like soil health is being neglected or even abused. Are we growing crops in tortured sand and chemicals?

So...did ICE stop assaulting & kidnapping people around the country, or did corporate news networks just stop reporting on it?

Why did people despise Apartheid South Africa? Because the Western backed government:
•Annually killed hundreds of Indigenous with impunity, including children
•Annually took at least 10K+ hostages, including 1000+ children
•Stole Indigenous land and built hundreds of thousands of illegal homes
•Enforced separate facilities for the "racially inferior" Indigenous

And guess what?

Israel does ALL OF THE ABOVE, and now also passed a law that kills Palestinians only by hanging. Israel Is Apartheid.

Rockets are alright, but if you really want to impress people give them healthcare, education, childcare and affordable housing.
