Firefighters Brace For North Carolina Fertilizer Plant Explosion, 6,500 People Evacuated
An uncontrolled fire burns at a North Carolina fertilizer plant early Wednesday as there is still a risk of an explosion, forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes in surrounding communities, according to local news WXII-TV.
Winston Weaver Co.’s Winston-Salem plant caught fire Monday night and continues to burn days later. The plant produces ammonium nitrate and has more than 500 tons of potentially explosive chemicals in storage.
“There has been no improvement on scene, conditions have not improved,” a spokesperson for the city of Winston-Salem said during a press briefing at 0430 ET. “The potential for an explosion is still there.”

As Spring planting in the Northern Hemisphere is approaching, we were warned that there will be a worldwide fertilizer shortage:
A few days ago, the Wall Street Journal ominously warned that “high fertilizer prices are weighing on farmers across the developing world”…
From South America’s avocado, corn and coffee farms to Southeast Asia’s plantations of coconuts and oil palms, high fertilizer prices are weighing on farmers across the developing world, making it much costlier to cultivate and forcing many to cut back on production.
That means grocery bills could go up even more in 2022, following a year in which global food prices rose to decade highs. An uptick would exacerbate hunger—already acute in some parts of the world because of pandemic-linked job losses—and thwart efforts by politicians and central bankers to subdue inflation.
According to the International Fertilizer Development Center, exceedingly high fertilizer prices could result in a reduction of agricultural output in Africa alone “equivalent to the food needs of 100 million people”.
We were warned that their next phase will be called “The Great Famine”.

Kachelman: Treatment of Protests Today, Follow the Marxist Playbook of Yesterday Great article well worth reading, If you want to take on the government you better have some F-35s or nuclear weapons bidens reply to the so-called insurrection on Jan 6th. It was not Lenin who said this, it was an American president following his playbook.
Rule of thumb applies here, make a fist, hold your thumb up, and if you can still see the fire through your thumb, your to close. Inch by inch they get closer to their main goal…our death.
How convenient. Kind of like the hydroxychloroquine factory that burned down in Taiwan.
Locally Weaver products are sold at Lowes. (SC) I went and picked up a couple of different bags for my garden. I’m sure this will have a multi state impact around here.
Very fishy situation.
And Russia is postponing exports of fertilizer for 2 months. And the EU is preventing Belarus from shipping fertilizer.
People don’t realize Russia supplies 2/3rds of ammonium nitrates in the world today—And Biden wants to put the squeeze on Vlad—-lol—by the way Russia had one of it’s largest grain harvest ever—-go figure, those dirty Russians—-And did you know Russia has about 25% of the worlds fresh water—-what you drinking lately—-
500 tons plus an additional 100 tons in the rail cars of ammonium nitrate in a populated area. What a coincidence
