"On January 27, 2026, planes flew over our land and started to spray. We didn’t know what they were spraying, but we saw it fall onto our fields. Ten days after the planes flew over, everything was yellow and then everything died. I lost 75 hectares of wheat; my whole harvest disappeared.

    Chemical warfare. Roundup special, the precursor of which, like they used in Colombia to spray on poor areas in coca regions, that did nothing to curb production, and that Erik Prince of blackwater lobbied the US government to give him the contracts to do in Afghanistan, and failed in that, the precursor of which they used in Vietnam as agent orange, as I understand it. It caused a lot of health problems for the soldiers too.

    One wonders what was in it exactly though, if monstanto/bayer made, or if it’s a new proprietary mix they ripped off some other company now making their own poison. I’m sure they want to up their capacity to make zyklon b so it makes sense they would use their own supply, as long as the US is paying the bill why not.
