Larry Johnson posted an e-mail he received from an American worker in Florida (see link below). This **** war is more than about oil, oil, oil … it’s about the creating of wide-scale human misery. Larry writes;

Hello Larry.
I am an avid listener to your interviews, and really appreciate you sharing your insights about what is happening in the world.
The reason why I am writing is, I am a worker at The Mosaic Company here in Florida. Today, October 5th at 9 am we were notified that effective today, the South Fort Meade Mine will cease all operations. Therefore all phosphate mining at that mine will be shut down. That comes on the heels of several of Mosaics chemical plants, which produce the fertilizer, reducing their production now for several months. They are trying to relocate as many of the employees to other mines and fill positions that they can. But most will more than likely be laid off. Due to the WARN ACT they had to give us a 60 notice of this. So as of December, whoever will not be able to fill positions at other locations will be laid off. I don’t know if I will be part of the group that will be laid off or not. I won’t find out for several more days…maybe a few weeks, until they have sorted everything out.
The reason why they are suspending operations is the high price and lack of sulfur….the main driver. Also affecting our production and operations at the mines are high diesel prices. Couple that with high fertilizer prizes, due to high sulfur and diesel prices, that farmers are no longer able to or willing to pay, high tariffs, and now also Trump removing import bans of Belarusian potash and Russian and Moroccan fertilizer; which are much cheaper than what we can produce at the moment; we are being hit hard.
Trump’s clusterf**k of a war with Iran is finally hitting us. Right now, they are “hoping” that this will be for only six months. But we have also been told by our boss that this will more than likely be at least 12 months…..if the Strait of Hormuz were to fully open today.
We all know that won’t happen. And I would not be surprised if Trump restarts the war after the Midterms. I actually expect that to happen. That guy just can’t take a hint that he lost. And if he does restart the war, I fully expect Iran to not only retaliate, but escalate. God help us if that happens.
I can tell you, whoever was still voting in favor of the GOP, the Republicans lost massive amounts of voters today. Employees. Contractors that will also be hit today. Their families and friends.
Where we will be going from here, I don’t know. It will be interesting to see what will happen over the next 3 – 4 month.
Anyway. I wanted to let you know and give you an additional data point.
Sincerely,
S
PS: I am no Democrat. And I voted for Trump three times……I guess the joke is on me this last time around…….I hope that the Democrats sweep the Midterms, impeach his ass (pardon my French) and remove him from office. For all I care, they can shove him into a prison for all his corruption and war crimes and throw the keys away.
I for one will be voting third party. I am done with the Republicans. I my even hold my nose and bite my tongue, and vote Democrats to help make that happen.
