Early Impact From 2015 – 2021 Flood Cycles
Locust Plagues Emerge from Wet Weather…
Other Ramifications Likely in Late-2010’s.
01/29/16 INSIIDE Track: Food Crisis 2016/2017 Update
From a surprising angle – making it unsurprising in its nature – the 40-Year Cycle of Food Crises (most prominent in 2016/2017) appears to be receiving some corroboration from a 60-Year Cycle (the ‘cycle of life’) that hearkens back to Biblical plagues. According to the NY Times:
“Argentina Scrambles to Fight Biggest Plague of Locusts in 60 Years”
That’s right folks, a good ole’ plague of locusts is the latest factor to reinforce cycles that portend a challenging Food Crisis in the coming year(s).
According to the article, the government is running out of time to contain this plague before it exits the dry forests – where it now resides – and moves on to crops like cotton & sunflowers. The ’mild and rainy weather’ (thank you El Nino) has provided optimum conditions for the locusts to breed… and breed they have!
In 2015, farmers reported clouds of locust over 4 miles wide and almost 2 miles high. That is a lot of locust!! (The article also mentions Argentina’s gov’t program to combat locust – set up in the 1890’s. Hey, wasn’t that a few phases of the 40-Year Cycle ago??) The plague is being partially attributed to this being the wettest year since the 1930’s. Do you sense another 40-Year Cycle sequence forming??
This also comes on the heels of a devastating locust plague in S. Russia in August 2015 (their worst in 30 years), which consumed the entire corn crop in some regions. According to all these sources, locusts thrive in a warm, wet environment – something that El Nino is continuing to provide in many areas of the globe. So, we probably have not seen the last of the locust plagues.
The UN – in Nov. 2015 – warned of the heightened risk of locust plagues in the Middle East & North Africa. (This came on the 100-year anniversary of the Palestine Locust Plague of 1915 – one of the Middle East’s worst.)

Overlap of Flood Cycles (2015 – 2021) and Food Crisis Cycles (2016 – 2020/2021) could become increasing focus in the late-2010’s. Events in 2016 – 2017 are already increasing the focus for Food Crisis Cycles on 2019 – 2020. 2016/2017 is forecast to see shift from drought to flooding cycles that could intensify in 2019 – 2021 – ultimately creating serious crop challenges. 2019/2020 is also when climate, crop, solar & seismic cycles collide – which is why so much attention is being focused on that period.
The 4-Year Cycle Peak in Soybeans should produce a corroborating peak in mid-2016 (May – July ’16; a precursor to a more dramatic peak in mid-2020) and reinforce this overall outlook for the late-2010’s. See http://40yearcycle.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/INSIIDETrackSR201205Beans2012em.pdf for details and analysis on the last 4-Year Cycle Peak in 2012.
