The following press release is from the World Bank:
WASHINGTON, May 18, 2022—The World Bank today announced actions it plans to take as part of a comprehensive, global response to the ongoing food security crisis, with up to $30 billion in existing and new projects in areas such as agriculture, nutrition, social protection, water and irrigation. This financing will include efforts to encourage food and fertilizer production, enhance food systems, facilitate greater trade, and support vulnerable households and producers.
Food price increases are having devastating effects on the poorest and most vulnerable. To inform and stabilize markets, it is critical that countries make clear statements now of future output increases in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Countries should make concerted efforts to increase the supply of energy and fertilizer, help farmers increase plantings and crop yields, and remove policies that block exports and imports, divert food to biofuel, or encourage unnecessary storage.
Said World Bank Group President David Malpass.
The World Bank is working with countries on the preparation of $12 billion of new projects for the next 15 months to respond to the food security crisis. These projects are expected to support agriculture, social protection to cushion the effects of higher food prices, and water and irrigation projects, with the majority of resources going to Africa and the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and South Asia. In addition, the World Bank’s existing portfolio includes undisbursed balances of $18.7 billion in projects with direct links to food and nutrition security issues, covering agriculture and natural resources, nutrition, social protection, and other sectors. Altogether, this would amount to over $30 billion available for implementation to address food insecurity over the next 15 months. This response will draw on the full range of Bank financing instruments and be complemented by analytical work.
The World Bank Group’s global response will address four priorities:
- Support production and producers: Take actions to enhance next season’s production by removing input trade barriers, focusing on more efficient use of fertilizers, and repurposing public policies and expenditures to better support farmers and output.
- Facilitate increased trade: Build international consensus (G7, G20, others) and commitment to avoid export restrictions that increase global food prices and import restrictions that discourage production in developing countries.
- Support vulnerable households: Scale up targeted, nutrition-sensitive social protection programs and replenish early-response financing mechanisms.
- Invest in sustainable food and nutrition security: Strengthen food systems to make them more resilient to rising risks (conflict, climate, pests, diseases), trade disruptions and economic shocks – balance immediate/short-term needs with long-term investments.
The World Bank gained extensive experience in response to the 2007-2008 global food price crisis through the temporary Global Food Crisis Response Program (GFRP) that received donor contributions and channeled funds to 49 affected countries through 100 projects. Since then, the Bank had built up new tools dedicated to responding to food security crises, including the IDA Crisis Response Window. The World Bank also hosts the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), which is an existing financial intermediary fund dedicated to improving food security in low-income countries and could be replenished to help fund the response to the current global food crisis.

The World Bank said
Oh, just not America and primarily the West who is being affected the most…
Not only do I not believe all this money will not see the light of day and reach it’s destination (as most of it will be divvied up with all their rich globalist buddies), but it is evident that the famine and food shortages that are facing the West will increase; as all these “efforts” to curtail it – just like the asinine restrictions levied against to Russia to “hurt them” – are designed to harm the masses in the process.
I’ll be coming out with more reports on this subject soon.
[7] And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.Mark 13:7-8
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

God is giving us a very clear glimpse of Jacob’s trouble, and he is allowing us to see how he is preparing the evil people to meet his 4 horsemen! All God’s children should be excited because we are soon to meet our bridegroom! all I can say is look up, pack up, because we are going up!
Yes, Shari! I’m going to repent and I want to learn more and more and more how the Scriptures can apply to all things!
I’m sick of this world and I’m sick of the Catholic whore and her harlot daughters called Protestant denominations especially pentecostal charismatics the worst of her girls!
I’m sick of the vile heathens of America and the world!
I’m sick of Great Satan America and in particular the Roman Catholic Dominated satanic city of Laredo, Texas…because my selfish Catholic turned pentecostal grandfather wanted to go back home…the Lord killed him off in 1979.
Pack up, repent, look up, and when I and many others are still repenting with the King James Bible it’ll be COME UP HITHER!!!
Andy, ask God to fill you with wisdom, and ask him to open your eyes and ears so you can see and hear his prophetic word living in our day! He loves to fill us with his wisdom. Read rev chap 6 and you will see God preparing the evil people to meet his 4 horsemen. God brought me out of the Pentecostal movement, and now I am free! Also matt 24 gives a lot of insight to the signs of the times. Also I have read your comments and from what I read you sound like you are biblical sound, Just let God do for you and all will be fine!
No kidding! God brought me out of the pentecostal Catholic movement, too. The pentecostal daughter of the Vatican is the most satanic and fleshly of all and she is trying to outdo her mother-the Vatican.
The charismatics which are part of the Pentecostals misled me so badly, they are Roman Catholic satanism on steroids! Their charismatic tongues, their falling on the floor, slain in the spirit (whatever that is, it’s so odd) making animal noises and becoming drunk, all kinds of bizarre goings-on, it is insanely satanic and it comes from kundalini in Hinduism. It’s NOT the Holy Spirit, not one bit of that satanic mess. The charismatic tongues which I denounced, that loud freakish gibberish is so satanic and carnal, and then they, like the Catholics, use scare tactics (“you better be very careful, you’re close to blaspheming the Holy Spirit”) no, YOU blaspheme the Holy Spirit you pentecostal charismatic devils!
The charismatic churches are imparting devils into people. I’ve seen a few clips of that on YouTube. It’s a pretty scary place.
It’s very scary, Cynthia! It’s a freak show, even the unsaved people in the world has enough sense to see that and say to that “if that nut house is of God, then I’m an anaconda!” Even atheists have enough sense and discernment to go against that.
Absolute total satanism at its worst. It’s not only the Catholic church’s daughter of Pentecostalism, it’s rooted in kundalini Hindu practices.
With all that food shortage, I bet there will be less obesity around to be seen.
Haha, that’s a good point! Lose some weight.
Actually, the cheapest of the processed foods and drugs cause a lot of that. Diabetes. Also the steroids used to treat the many allergies & breathing problems brought on by vaccination, pollutants etc….and some natural things like pollen.
A whole lot of the manipulation is to make self-righteous, proud people despise others….and ‘healthcare’, access to that & food is the mechanism to bring in the Revelation 13 WEF system. Plus stirring up race & ‘cultural’ issues to demonize any truly born again people, and any close to God’s order.
Not sure how deep we’ll go into this, nor that we’ll see less addiction & obesity….just more death.
Many who originally went into international missions and charity work caught on to what the World Bank and others were doing, cultivating ‘revolutionary’ cronies who pocket the money & lord over the people who were supposed to be receiving the ‘helps’ sent in the place of the freeing word of God. But it’s powerful, devilish and set up like the secret societies….actually the mother of it just like the scriptures say….and add to that that God is judging.
–
Now they want to blame America because the internationalists and Vatican used it covertly & deceitfully without the peoples knowledge or consent until they had sufficiently demoralized & brainwashed, feeding sin and pride to the end of power & control. Note where the WEF is established though…and the antichrist and un-American focus of these supposedly ‘caring’ and ‘loving’ UN-types.
–
Questioning why our leaders were setting up food banks and such things, or ‘foundations’ to ‘help’ people pay for ridiculously priced ‘cancer treatments’ etc rather than providing honest education for free citizens rather than dependent slaves, and truly strengthening our economy, families, etc. Questioning why they were sending our industry & jobs overseas rather than providing jobs for the free, asking why Christians were taking the better paying jobs in that system in education etc requiring that they compromise & self-censor for the ‘privilege’….and how they thought that was going to work out for THEM, as well as for the ‘little people’ they were selling out by doing that when sufficient power was gained for it to spill over into THEIR neighborhoods….
Was NOT popular, and such people were targeted. Without the word or with only the wrest word bent into a pretzel people are left vulnerable, unable to fight or protect themselves….and then prone to the root of bitterness.
–
How we all need the Lord to keep us here below and so long as we’re still wrapped in this corruptible flesh.
–
You couldn’t even reach them with pragmatic reason, let alone the word of God which they didn’t believe God was capable of preserving as promised…and now it’s being fulfilled, and most of them who went that route & their children can’t even see it for the same reason. The deception and delusion is powerful, and most of all amongst those proud who think themselves unaffected by it who go about hard, cold and sounding just like the world with Jesus words.
my hubby just bought 4 lbs of ground beef today and paid $38.00. I mentioned to him this is just the beginning, and I also mentioned that we will not be here much longer!
So, that’s $9.50 per pound. Inflation is going up but it’s still somewhat manageable.
I pray we’re not here much longer, either, and until then, if we’re living in cities that are so saturated with sin including religion, the LORD provides us all a way to escape them-a way out of Laredo, Texas would be terrific!
Andy, yes, it is still manageable. This is God preparing the evil people to meet the 4 horsemen, we are almost home! I get so excited just thinking about meeting Yeshua in the air, next stop Father’s house!
