Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Are we heading for mass culls of dairy herds?
Here’s a headline from the Associated Press this week: “With 100M birds dead, poultry industry could serve as example as dairy farmers confront bird flu.”
And here’s the first paragraph: “As the U.S. dairy industry confronts a bird flu outbreak, with cases reported at dozens of farms and the disease spreading to people, the egg industry could serve as an example of how to slow the disease but also shows how difficult it can be to eradicate the virus.”
What do you think? I know what I think.
Since the current outbreak of bird flu in the US began in February, 100 million chickens and turkeys have been slaughtered. That’s roughly one bird for every three people in the entire country. This is slaughter on an industrial scale. A hundred Passchendales.
And while it appears to have slowed the spread of the disease, it hasn’t stopped it. Cases are still being detected, and more birds will, undoubtedly, be killed.
Such an approach comes at a huge cost for consumers, who are forced to pay more for eggs because of artificial scarcity and inflation. Last year, I wrote for The Epoch Timesabout the egg situation, and noted the emergence of a thriving black market for eggs brought into the US from Mexico.
“Is it any wonder,” I wrote, “with prices so much lower in Juárez, Mexico, that enterprising Mexicans might risk a hefty fine to resell a few boxes in Texas for a tasty profit? The real question is whether the cartels, which have long been in the business of diversification, will soon muscle in on the action. Chances are they will.”
Food-price inflation was also made yet worse by a serious of mysterious fires at facilities across the US—still unexplained—including a fire at a Hillandale Farms chicken facility in Connecticut that claimed the lives of more than 100,000 laying hens. While figures like Tucker Carlson and, of course, Alex Jones tried to draw attention to the possibility of deliberate sabotage of the food supply, the mainstream media and the US government simply ignored it.
And, just to make the situation even worse, there was also price gouging by egg producers.
But the costs of such measures and misfortunes extend well beyond the financial. Even at the best of times, most consumers remain blissfully unaware of the conditions under which the foods they eat, especially animal products, are produced. Out of sight, out of mind. And as consumers tighten their belts and have to weigh every single purchase they make and the possibility their loved ones might have to go without, an even harder attitude descends. Animal welfare simply ceases to be a consideration.
We should remember, nonetheless, that the culls and mysterious fires have claimed the lives of sentient creatures, and that those sentient creatures were only in that position of being culled or burnt to a crisp in such Biblical numbers for one reason alone: because we force them into totally unnatural conditions simply to satisfy our desire for cheap eggs and chicken tenders. Diseases like bird flu would not be a problem if we produced food a different way, if we didn’t force tens and even hundreds of thousands of animals into vast concentration camps we have the temerity to label “farms.”
But that’s an issue for another day.
For now, let’s talk about dairy herds. Although the Associated Press notes that cattle are unlikely to be culled because the disease doesn’t affect them in the same way as chickens—bird flu is generally not fatal in short order to cows—things could quickly change.
Deborah Birx, whom you may remember from the COVID-19 pandemic, has already suggested that we need mass PCR-testing of herds right now, and this is only likely to do one thing: to inflate, hugely, the number of cases detected. This will happen exactly as it did during the pandemic, because PCR testing is notoriously inaccurate, providing large numbers of false-positive results. Even Anthony Fauci and the WHO admitted—during the pandemic—that this would happen.
If mass PCR-testing goes ahead as Birx would like, we may soon end up in a situation where, instead of dozens of cattle testing positive for bird flu, we have thousands or tens of thousands. Do you really believe the authorities won’t resort to slaughter?
Mass slaughter of cattle is far from unknown in situations of contagion. There was the foot-and-mouth crisis in the UK about 25 years ago, when the British government considered using napalm to dispose of the nearly six million cows and sheep that were killed to contain an outbreak that infected only 2,000 animals. Foot-and-mouth disease causes mild symptoms in human beings, just like bird flu.
At least at present. What if we see a new “more dangerous” variant of bird flu emerge at the same time as cases skyrocket due to PCR testing? What then?
Incidentally, mass slaughter of cattle is being proposed as a solution to the “climate crisis.” You may remember that last year the Irish government floated ideas to cull 200,000 dairy cows in the next three years, to reduce their methane emissions (read: farts). The Irish government wants to achieve a 25% cut in agricultural emissions by 2030, and there are more than seven million cattle on the Emerald Isle. So that means a lot of killing.
This is one hard reality of the “we all have to give up animal foods to save the planet” narrative that well-meaning morons with their Extinction Rebellion placards and soy-filled lunchboxes don’t understand. Livestock aren’t going to be retired gently from a life munching grass for our benefit. They’re going to be slaughtered. Millions of them, in a great orgy of killing. But don’t let me shatter your illusions.
The truth about the climate-change agenda, and the effort to get the world eating supposedly healthier “planet-friendly” plant-based diets, is that it will not be driven by consumer choice. This is now crystal clear from more than a decade of market trends and research. People don’t want to eat “plant-based meat.” They don’t want to eat “lab-grown meat.” And they certainly don’t want to eat insects, which is why advocates are now grinding them up and insinuating them into everything from protein bars to dog kibble in the hope consumers won’t notice.
A couple of years ago, a survey showed that 73% of Australian men would rather lose ten years of their lives than give up meat. People quite literally would rather die prematurely than eat this crap.
By hook or by crook, the climate-change agenda demands the public be made to give up their beloved animal foods. I don’t think there will be out-and-out bans on meat products: they would prove too divisive, and the regime must at least maintain an appearance of consent and respect for individual freedom. Instead, what we’ll get is economic pressure, artificial scarcity and climate-based legislation—carbon taxes and the like—which together will price most consumers out of regular meat consumption.
Given the choice between no burger and a plant-based burger, most people will choose the latter, even if what they actually want is the real thing.
As I noted in my book The Eggs Benedict Option, in recent years we’ve had commentators praising the role of inflation for driving “welcome change” in ordinary people’s diets. Annaliese Griffin, writing in The New York Times in 2022, noted how “historically, cost has been a powerful force that has changed Americans’ diets,” before adding that “inflation has the potential to drive welcome change for the planet if Americans think differently about the way they eat.” Nudge nudge, wink wink.
Somewhat more ominously, Griffin even praised the 1917 Lever Act, a law that was enacted upon America’s entry to World War I to allow the government to requisition food from ordinary citizens…
So yes, I think mass culls are going to happen. And I think they’ll serve a dual purpose: to make the coming bird-flu pandemic “real,” and to help drive the “welcome change” needed to reduce our consumption of planet-destroying animal products.
You really can kill two birds with one stone.
Breaking Exclusive! Tucker Carlson Breaks The Internet In Powerful Interview With Alex Jones
Watch: Deranged Biden Threatens to Throw Journalist’s Phone Before Aides Intervene
Joe Biden became severely triggered while being questioned by a reporter during an “influencer” event at the White House on Friday.
Popular independent journalist Jonathan M. Katz confronted Biden with his phone in hand to ask about civilian deaths in Gaza and Biden quickly became irate.

This is a transcript of the exchange:
BIDEN: And I know you’re a typical press guy, you’re grabbing me in front of this, all this…(unintelligible)…and I trust you as far as I throw your phone. I have a good arm, man, I can throw a long way, but my point is this…
[Five seconds of awkward silence]
I have made very clear to the Israelis what they have to do in the near term, if they don’t, what’s going to happen.
KATZ: What’s going to happen?
BIDEN: A lot.
KATZ: Are you guys going to cut off funding?
At that point, aides intervened to guide Katz away from Biden.
What in the world?
Biden turned the “I don’t trust you as far as I can throw you” saying into him threatening to throw the reporter’s phone because he can “throw a long way.”
This bizarre exchange comes a day after Biden made headlines for blanking out and wandering aimlessly around the G7 Summit in Apulia, Italy on Thursday, prompting world leaders to step in and corral him for photoshoots and handshakes.

Keep in mind, a 90-minute debate between Biden and former President Donald Trump has been scheduled to take place on June 27 in Atlanta, Georgia.
DOJ Refuses to Prosecute Merrick Garland After House Voted to Hold Him in Contempt
The Justice Department on Friday declined to prosecute Attorney General Merrick Garland following a vote by the House to hold him in contempt for refusing to turn over audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
Assistant Attorney General Carlos Felipe sent a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) explaining that Joe Biden had “asserted executive privilege and directed” Garland not to “release materials” subpoenaed by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee.
“That directive was based on a legal opinion from the Department of Justice (Department) advising that asserting privilege would be legally proper,” the DOJ wrote.
“The President’s directive was issued after the Department produced materials responsive to all four requests in the Committee’s subpoenas. The Department provided Special Counsel Hur’s report without any additional redactions and facilitated his congressional testimony.”
“The Department has determined that the responses by Attorney General Garland to the subpoenas issued by the Committees did not constitute a crime, and accordingly the Department will not bring the congressional contempt citation before a grand jury or take any other action to prosecute the Attorney General,” the DOJ’s letter added.
The House voted 216 to 207 on Wednesday hold Garland in contempt of Congress for not complying with subpoenas for “records, including transcripts, notes, video, and audio files,” relating to Hur’s investigation of Biden’s “willful mishandling of classified information,” the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability stated in a press release.
Hur declined to prosecute Biden for unlawfully retaining classified documents in part because he believed a jury would perceive Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
The Committee then requested the audio tapes of Hur’s interview with Biden after Garland “only provided written transcripts” that were deemed “insufficient.”
The DOJ’s refusal to prosecute Garland for defying a subpoena comes as President Trump’s former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon had been ordered to report to prison on July 1 for a four-month sentence after he defied a subpoena from the Democrat-run House January 6 Committee.
Putin’s Peace Offer ‘Not Serious, Says Germany’s Scholz
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s new proposal to achieve a lasting peace between Moscow and Kiev, branding the overture a ploy to distract the global community from the Swiss-hosted Ukraine ‘peace summit.’
Speaking to the country’s top diplomats on Friday, Putin signaled that Russia “will order a ceasefire and start negotiations” as soon as Kiev completely withdraws its troops from the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions.
The four regions overwhelmingly voted to join Russia in referendums in the fall of 2022. Neither the West nor Kiev recognized the votes.
Other conditions for a lasting peace, according to Putin, include Ukraine’s neutral status, a pledge not to seek to acquire nuclear weapons, “demilitarization” and “denazification,” and respect for the rights of the Russian-speaking population. All of those points should be fundamentally recognized at the international level, followed by the removal of Western sanctions against Russia, the president said.
However, in an interview with the broadcaster ZDF on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Italy on Saturday, Scholz stated that “everyone knows that it is not a serious proposal,” suggesting that “it has something to do with the peace conference taking place in Switzerland.” He also claimed that the initiative revealed that Putin was after “the classic, realistic conquest of land.”
In similar remarks, the proposal was dismissed by Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky, who branded it “nothing different than other ultimatums that he has made before.” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also claimed that “this is not a proposal made in good faith,” adding that it would require Kiev to “give up significantly more land” than Russia currently controls.
Putin’s new peace overture comes ahead of the Swiss-hosted conference on Ukraine this weekend. The event is expected to revolve around Zelensky’s ten-point ‘peace formula,’ which demands that Russia, among other things, withdraw from all territories claimed by Kiev. Moscow has rejected the initiative as detached from reality.
According to Zelensky, the ‘peace summit’ will focus only on three points of Kiev’s plan: prisoner exchanges, and nuclear and food security. Putin has dismissed the conference as a Western trick to create the illusion of a global anti-Russian coalition, distract attention from the roots of the conflict, and boost Zelensky’s claim to legitimacy after his presidential term expired last month.
