Editor’s Commentary: Let’s cut to the chase about this particular component of the globalist elites’ plans for us. They are only interested in finding out why people are unwilling to take the jabs so they can figure out how to counter our arguments. They aren’t worried about the jabs being safe or effective. That’s a sales pitch. They want everyone jabbed for whatever nefarious reasons they really have and they’re willing to go very, very far to achieve that goal.
On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I discussed this and other topics pertaining to recent revelations about the globalist elites’ machinations. This excerpt covers an article from Great Game India below. Here’s my commentary:
To figure out why people refuse to take the vaccine the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) and Rockefeller Foundation have established a group of behavioural scientists known as the Mercury Project.
The Rockefeller Foundation has disclosed that it (along with other non-profits) has been pouring millions of dollars into a behavioural science project meant to understand why large groups of people around the world refuse to take the jab. This is yet another indication that the covid vaccination agenda of globalist institutions did not do quite as well as they had originally hoped.
A group of behavioural scientists known as the “Mercury Project” was established by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), a non-profit institution that gets significant financing from governments and globalist organisations. The project’s stated goals are not very clear, and its mission statements and wording are vague. However, it appears that the primary objectives are to employ parts of mass psychology and behavioural psychology to explain the global resistance to the recent covid compliance efforts.
Researchers from Mercury will research vaccine refusal and the medical “disinformation” that causes it in a number of different countries and areas. In order to persuade people from various political and racial backgrounds to get the shot, they are working to modify vaccination narratives to match those groups’ political and racial perspectives.
The SSRC and the Rockefeller Foundation observe:
“Following the characterization of inaccurate health information by the U.S. Surgeon General as an “urgent threat,” and by the World Health Organization as an “infodemic,” the SSRC issued a call for proposals to counter the growing global threats posed by public health mis- and disinformation and low Covid-19 vaccination rates, and received nearly 200 submissions from around the world.
…With Covid-19 prevalent and rapidly evolving everywhere, there is a pressing need to identify interventions with the potential to increase vaccination take-up.”
Funding for the SSRC and the Mercury Project comes from both foundations and government entities. A further $20 million was given to the Mercury Project in June 2022 by the National Science Foundation, which describes itself as a “independent” branch of the US government. In other words, creating convincing anti-covid propaganda is turning into a money-making scheme for the few behavioural experts and psychologists that join in.
The SSRC website outlines the goal of the NSF relationship with the Mercury Project:
“This innovative partnership will support research teams seeking to evaluate online or offline interventions to increase Covid-19 vaccination demand and other positive health behaviors, including by targeting the producers and/or consumers of inaccurate health information and/or by increasing confidence in reliable health information.”
The Mercury Project states that the following are their main areas of focus:
“Funded projects will provide evidence about what works–and doesn’t–in specific places and for specific groups to increase Covid-19 vaccination take-up, including what is feasible on the ground and has the potential to be cost-effective at scale. Each of the 12 teams will have access to findings from the other teams while exploring interventions including, but not limited to:
- Conducting literacy training for secondary school students in partnership with local authorities to help students identify Covid-19 vaccine misinformation.
- Equipping trusted messengers with communication strategies to increase Covid-19 vaccination demand.
- Using social networks to share tailored, community-developed messaging to increase Covid-19 vaccination demand.”
They therefore prioritise spreading propaganda at any costs. The Mercury Project was founded on the premise that people cannot be trusted to generate their own opinions about the information they are exposed to and must instead be coerced into accepting the dominant narrative. Additionally, it assumes that information from the mainstream or establishment is always reliable and objective.
One of the most underrated occurrences of the 20th century was the widespread refusal to comply with covid vaccination laws in spite of intense government pressure. It is most likely the cause of why, in a matter of weeks, the corporate media and the political establishment reduced their constant campaign of fear against the populace to almost nothing. It appeared as though the general public had been subjected to two years of waterboarding before the torture abruptly and mysteriously ended.
The remaining traces of personal rights would now be irreversibly lost if vaccination passport laws had been enacted on the extent that western governments and globalists want. All of your individual rights would be reduced to privileges that the government would provide you in exchange for your consent to any current medical trends or covid booster doses. Consider this: If they had gotten their way, the west today would resemble China today, or worse, there would be no economic participation without a valid Covid pass.
And the danger is still present. The Mercury Project has not provided an explanation for why it feels the need to create vaccine propaganda for a virus with a meagre 0.23% median Infection Fatality Rate. The population has already attained herd immunity if vaccination data from organisations like the CDC is accurate (maybe their data is not accurate?). Why are globalist organisations so fixated on achieving 100% COVID vaccination? Never is this explained.
They will claim that the goal is to save lives, but if, on average, just 0.23 percent of the population is at risk regardless of whether or not they are vaccinated, then public health is not a very credible justification. It appears that the Mercury Project’s goal is more about persuading people to get vaccines despite the evidence than it is about advancing science.
Bypass Big Tech Censors
Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
