Trump takes on Meatpacker Cartels. The real reason for high meat prices
Posted on 5/7/26 at 5:21 am

It is a short video. Look up China owning the east coast Smithfield foods meatpacking. But this has been going on for decades.

The largest Chinese-owned meat company is the WH Group, formerly known as Shuanghui International Holdings. It is the world’s largest pork producer, based in China but owning major international subsidiaries, most notably Smithfield Foods, which it acquired for $4.7 billion in 2013.

This needs its own thread. The things these ladies say is always verified as happenings no one pays attention to: Because of muh Tucker jews, mini wars. Iran war and assassination attempts...

The real reason for high meat prices
Now, packing plants did play a role in that when they closed facilities during Covid and for a time subsequently. But those closures were largely mandated by government (ours, not the Chinese).

Saw this yesterday... be careful posting this... people will say her 'four main meatpackers (with the largest tied to Lloyds of London) to drive up prices is crazy talk. I'll bet she it spot on though.
PS - Just don't ask them if Epstein killed himself.

True
It was self inflicted by the democrats ... more than any outside adversarial influence.
There were also a lot of suspicious things that happened during Biden's entire term. Multiple major processing facilities burned down. Outbreaks of mad cow. USDA crack downs on Mom and Pop processors. Loss of pasture land leases owned by the feds, etc., etc., etc. Our entire meat industry has been under attack for awhile now.

It is a matter of national security. Glad something is being done.
I vaguely recall an article about under Obama but mostly Biden.. There was manipulation of either lying about disease or Gates like crazy stuff giving diseases to herds of I believe pig and cattle.
I wish I could recall more..

A lot of it has to do with prolonged drought in the southern plains. We’ve gotten some good rain recently, but when I drive out to NW Oklahoma and southern Kansas these ponds have almost no water in them for months at a time.

Under Biden, it was open season on US citizens....regardless of party, actually.
He was never in control of shite. He was the puppet of the elites and global cartels and enabled them to unleash hell on America.

Meh to this Larouche lady.
There has been a war on cattle by the left for at least a few decades. We have lost 100,000 ranches in the last decade. The amount of cattle is way down.

China got scared after diseases killed off lots of pigs. That is why it bought Smithfield as a hedge for its own internal needs. A client built a methanol plant at its farm in Idaho. The concrete slabs are washed into a large covered lagoon, with the gases captured, cleaned then reformed and combined with oxygen to make methanol.

It has been self inflicted by all. Everyone of these jammed through farm bills increases regulation on local cattlemen, processing facilities, and packers. These bills are always almost unanimously passed, and they serve to destroy our farms with each year they are approved.
Yes, Democrats most recent asinine decisions have not helped, but these farm bills that continue to put so much regulation on small and local farms and processors that they have to shutter is the primary culprit.

This is correct but nothing to do with Biden and mostly to do with drought and lack of grassland
