Two-thirds of American dairy farms have been eliminated within one generation. Cows produce dangerous emissions and have no place in modern society, according to the World Economic Forum and climate change proponents. We are seeing a drastic decline in dairy farms across the world thanks to this mentality [illness]. The latest crackdown on dairy farms comes from new regulations by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that demand dairy cattle be tested for the bird flu or H5N1.
There has not been a single case of a person falling ill with the bird flu from drinking milk. Yet, the USDA insists farmers comply with their guidance that is no longer mandatory. The World Health Organization managed to work its way into the situation too as they have criticized the lack of testing. Again, no one has fallen ill from drinking milk. There may have been cases of infection in farmhands who had direct contact with cows, but there is not a single case proving anyone contracted H5N1 in this manner.
This won’t prevent the government from spending recklessly on testing as they have already set aside $200 million. The USDA will ship samples to the National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN) for testing. Then, the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) stated they set aside $824 million in emergency funding for response and diagnostic efforts.
US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that widespread mandatory testing “will give farmers and farmworkers better confidence in the safety of their animals and ability to protect themselves, and it will put us on a path to quickly controlling and stopping the virus’s spread nationwide.” The virus is not spreading through the milk supply so why are they so eager to begin this program?
Better yet, the USDA is offering farmers a measly $75 payment for personal blood and nasal swab samples for the CDC. The government has also said it would provide funding for farmers with infected cattle.
Is this another excuse to add regulations to agriculture? Could there be ulterior motives here? The New York Post said that it is “unclear” whether this program will continue under Trump.

COMMENT: Marty, I don’t know how your computer does it, but it called for high in stocks, gold, and a coming recession. At the WEC, you said rates would decline into 2025, but not dramatically, because of the war. You also said the dollar was not dead. You said Trump would not have clear sailing when everyone seemed to assume a bull market from here. Thank you for teaching me to see the world as a whole. Your WEC for the Next Generation is a spectacular idea. My kids will be enrolled. -- HB
ANSWER: The Fed knows it is trapped. Raising interest rates no longer stops inflation because the government is the elephant in the room, and politicians will NEVER reduce spending based on Fed rate hikes. I do not know what it will take to have mainstream media stop publishing the BS that is confusing the nation and sending us cascading into this brick wall.
I will do a short video update for those who attended the WEC for the year-end. We are entering dangerous territory and heading into a very dark recession here, but there is a depression in Europe as we head into 2028. Be prepared for sovereign defaults in 2025. I am shocked at how many central banks are quietly starting to use the ECM.
At this stage in the game, stockpile CASH regardless of where you are – USA, Europe, Canada, Asia, or South America. We are headed into a period of deflation, but also one where the risk of banking problems based on the sovereign debt crisis will begin to unfold into 2028. Remember, the US dollar will be the LAST to fall.
