Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst This is a country in the most miserable of bankruptcies. No fuel, no fertilisers to produce food, Central bank void of money, and a perfect storm where career politicians have been living without realising the increasing anger of the citizens. There are some who say, again blaming WEF experts, and organic agriculture trends, that the lack of fertilisers, food production, and general crisis is because the country has been used as an experiment from the part of these experts who, believing in organic agriculture (which per se is awesome) forgetting that a new type of agriculture can't be established straight away everywhere for everybody, more on very populated areas which may need intensive agricultural systems. So, whatever causes have been, the result is a country in tatters, citizens fighting to get back their dignity, and probably when situation is better, another awakening against those who may believe that in order to impose the new 4th IR paradigm they can just give orders and decide on behalf of others (always, like the Chinese government control everyone inside China) for the good of the people. Extrapolating and speculating, imagine now European countries (Nteherland just now) in a possible near future lack of stability due to energy issues, bad food production, general crisis where citizens used to government social services are invited to just trust in the government... very possible a revolt would happen against this, at least before a control Chinese style system could be implemented. There are many clouds in the horizon, but we don't know the strength of the storm coming. Let's be ready and informed.
