The Great Famine of Ireland, 1845-1849, occurred due to a fungus-like organism called Phytophthora infestans (or P. infestans) throughout Ireland, the infestation ruining up to one-half of the potato crop. The Irish has put too much faith in mono-cropping, and this is what can happen when all of one’s potatoes are in one basket. Tragically, around one million people died, and over one million migrated. Thus, one would have hoped that the Irish above all people would be highly sensitive to any policies which threatened food resources.
But not so. Ireland’s Minister for Agriculture, Charlie McConalogue, has already agreed to force a cut of either 27 or 28 per cent on the country’s farming sector, with pressure for cuts of up to 30 percent. It will devastate Ireland’s farming sector, as will be done in Canada and the Netherlands. It is all part of the unfolding plan of global famine to produce a global wide Great Hunger to dwarf the events of 1845-1849.
