Yes it sure look's like it, and whatever thing's like this start's in other countries, eventually happens here also. There had been mention before of Bill Gates wanting to do this type of thing before. Who knows, but they might end up feeding us "soylent green" as a part of the material?

I've had both. Two neighbors have the silverleaf nightshade (which I just learned what it was, thanks to @BlueBaby's post--a link ID'd it, and the berries are poisonous). You can't pull the nightshade with your bear hands once it's barely an inch tall because of the nasty painful stickers/hairs on the stems. It spreads by runners. After the rain at my old place I could pull up a plant and up to a foot of runner. I don't envy you!

I keep a small pair of pliers in my back pocket to pull up sticker-laden weeds. Even the amaranth/pigweed can sometimes have irritating stems if you touch them wrong - I try to bend & break stems instead sometimes.

Yes, even breaking them could help to keep then from going to seed that would create even more of them!

I use thin leather gloves, the majority I pull with my hands and a screwdriver to get the root but after a while you know which are gonna poke so throw on the glove. They aren't thick enough to handle most cactus with, most of those thorns would go right through but goat heads don't and that seems to be the bulk of what gets me. My husband used a torch on the yard to burn off the goat heads and I didn't see any grow until all that rain last month. Whoever lived here before never did any yard maintenance so half of it was a solid patch of goat heads. I have a pair of walmart flip flop that have 2 inches of foam on the bottom that I walk back and forth through that part to pick up the thorns and scrape them off in a bucket, their all coming up out of the ground now. I managed to get most of the ones out that have those pokey hairs the first year I moved in just by plucking them up by the root before they seeded. Now it's just those sticky ones with purple flowers. Everything else doesn't bother me and it makes good chicken snacks.

Chicken's like to eat caterpillar's, and any caterpillar's that feed on nightshade would be poisonous to the chicken's.

Speaking of caterpillars, I found this one trying to cocoon itself in a feather on the ground yesterday. I put it in a cup to see what comes out, never saw these pink caterpillars before so I'm curious to see what kind of butterfly they are. Only took an hr to spin it's silk up in there and I can't even see it anymore.

Did it look like one of these before it got cocooned? Some caterpillar's turn into moth's and not butterflies.

The younger nation probably do not know about Soylent Green.
(WITH EVERYONE JOINED AT THE HIP WITH GOOGLE, THEY CAN FIND OUT INSTANTLY)
I still remember seeing it,, and never viewed it since. BTW,,, we are 20+ years past when it was supposed to happen.
I am not against anyone choosing to be Vegan. Vegetarian ,,, a slightly less restricted,, I have no problem eating any of their entree's
Their desire is to eat HEALTHY. With this over-processed vegetable 3D ingredients,,, (including food color, and artificial flavor to make beans taste like meat) ,,,,, I miss the point of HEALTHY FOOD

Whoever lived here before never did any yard maintenance so half of it was a solid patch of goat heads.

By doing continued weed wacking, and control,,, the yard will eventually come under control.
I live in somewhat different area,, and deal with weeds in my lawn on a regular basis. I choose not to resort to chemical pesticides,,,,,, for 2 reasons. CHICKENS, AND CHILDREN.
I do mow the lawn regularly,, which cuts the heads off weeds. I also fertilize, the grass so it is healthy. ( fertilizer,, not Weed&Feed) Remove the few stubborn weeds physically.

Maybe this is why bill gates bought up so much US farmland?

Here's just one example about that:
