Several people have written to inquire about recent stories surrounding a wave of industrial accidents at food processing plants all over the U.S. {Zero Hedge Article} {Twitter Questions, Suspicions} {List from Western Standard}
Indeed, there has been a significant increase in fires and explosions from furnaces, industrial fryers, boilers and some other rather odd incidents with aircraft hitting food processing. The frequency even gathered attention from Fox News host Tucker Carlson. WATCH:
Addressing the lesser frequent impact incidents from airplanes etc. Keep in mind that major industrial food processing facilities are generally located around major transportation hubs – large arteries for commercial trucking and railway lines for inbound good deliveries. These are the same zoned commercial regions where you find small regional airports.
So, let’s put those airplane ‘accidents” aside for a moment and look at the bigger picture.
Yes, there has been an increase in industrial accidents at some major and regional food processing plants. However, this may be the cumulative effect of what CTH was warning about since early 2020 when the food processing supply chain was completely screwed up by govt intervention.
When the restaurant, hotel, cafeteria, school lunchroom, food trucks and hospitality venues were shut down by government COVID mitigation, they represented about 60% of all food consumption. That pushed everyone into the retail side, grocery stores and supermarkets for food purchases.
When 60% of the demand shifted into the system that represents the other 40% of total food delivery, the processing side of the total food supply chain went into maximum stress and overdrive. CTH warned about the limits and capacities of this sector and the potential future problems that would surface.
Commercial food operations, industrial kitchens and massive food processing organizations were forced to increase food production on a scale that is almost unimaginable. Empty store shelves were the immediate result of massive increases in demand. The entire supply chain was pushed beyond capacity and remained beyond operational capacity for well over 18 months.
Two shift processing operations added a third and fourth shift for workers. Unlimited overtime with everyone working round the clock was the outcome. The food processing and distribution supply chain went into 24/7 emergency operations to try and compensate for the extreme demand.
What we are seeing now is likely, in large part, a downstream consequence from industrial kitchens putting preventative maintenance on the side in order to keep the processing going.
Boilers never turned off, furnaces running 24/7, exhaust fans and industrial turbines running all day and night along with all the attached equipment. I suspect much of the equipment that keeps the industrial processing and kitchens operating were not given the appropriate amount of down-time and deep maintenance that would normally take place.
Think of it like your clothes dryer at home. Instead of running two loads of laundry a day, now you are operating that dryer 24/7 to keep up with the mounting piles of soiled linens. You generate several years’ worth of lint buildup in your exhaust vent each month you continue. If you pause to clean out the vent, the linens pile up. A similar scenario happens in industrial kitchens and food processing.
Suddenly, the 30-gal tub of oiled/soiled rags fills up faster, and the contract for pickup doesn’t compensate or arrive with a faster rotation schedule.
An old cloth filled with food grade mineral residue triggers a chemical reaction….
Industrial fryers that must be purged every 6-hr cycle of operation don’t get purged because the retention system for the old grease is full and not getting pumped as fast to keep up with the increased production cycles.
Stuff like this starts to happen when you run an industrial system beyond capacity. Perhaps the grease is loaded into buckets or drums as an offset, but that needs to be stored somewhere…. where they are not used to storing it… etc.
Industrial vents don’t get cleaned more frequently to keep up with the new 24/7 operation. Regular maintenance schedules are deferred for massive furnaces that need time to cool, clean and restart.
The same applies to boilers and HVAC systems that were not designed for the capacity now required. In short, there’s a whole lot of maintenance that gets put down the priority list when everyone in the organization is shouting to keep everything running.
I’m not trying to justify the issue, excuse or blame the facility. I’m just explaining how all kinds of industrial accidents can spike when the operational systems within a specific industry are running maximum throttle, month after month after month.
Then there’s the exhausted people; literally the workers who are physically and mentally drained from the overcapacity issues. And don’t think the regulatory agencies (USDA, health inspectors, etc) wouldn’t also tell their compliance officers to give the industry a little slack. I guarantee they did.
The added hours, the added shifts, the days off that can’t take place. All of that leads to short cuts and things left undone that would normally be done under regular operations. People burn out just like equipment, and tired people take shortcuts.
I’ll look closely to see if there is an uptick in workers comp claims within the industrial food processing sector, but I suspect there is. Heck, why wouldn’t there be? It would be natural to see more worker injuries along with industrial accidents under these conditions.
Does that explain all of the incidents? Maybe not, but the fact that U.S. food processing has been running beyond capacity, might put a better context on why that same specific segment of U.S. industrial output would be seeing more industrial accidents.
Another downstream consequence could be an uptick in food recalls as an outcome of increased bacteria within the food processing equipment, because the break-down-time, sanitation and hygiene might be impacted by excessive operational run times. There’s a myriad of issues from any industrial operation that goes from ordinary capacity to seriously over-stressed maximum capacity… and then remains in the emergency phase for months.
Like I said two years ago, the downstream ramifications of those decisions were going to be a major problem.
March 15, 2020 – […] “A government cannot just shut down 30 to 50 percent of the way civil society feeds themselves, without planning and advanced preparation for an alternative. Those who ARE the alternative, the processors and retail food grocers, need time to prepare themselves (and their entire logistical system) for the incredible impact. Without preparation this is a man-made crisis about to get a lot worse. (LINK)
FUBAR…
… or it could be something nefarious. Suspicious Cat always remains, well, suspicious.
Question? Could a cyber attack on a processing plant affect the operation of small aircraft in the plant’s airspace?
No, not really. That type of airplane isn’t so completely digital that it would be subject to that sort of thing.
I recall reading local news reports that the airplane was apparently experiencing a loss of power prior to the crash, and that, if accurate, is well within the bounds of a “normal” small plane crash.
Not in the least.
“Six ways to Sunday..”
Perhaps if our ill-lustrous and corrupt FBI spent more time on real dangers, they wouldn’t waste time on white parents at school board meetings and could do more than post warnings or show up after the crime like journalists.
Sundance’s explanation resonates with me, as my employer has had to replace numerous pieces of equipment and machinery due to the crazy increase in processing and sales since the Covid madness started. Nobody was prepared for this, and we’ve been chasing our tails trying to keep up.
But…that FBI announcement is really weird. Suspicious cat, indeed.
Gee, I wonder who might be behind those ransomware attacks/destroying food production? The same people who kick in doors and manhandle moms that refuse to allow their children to see pornographic filth in the classroom?
It take a special kind of derangement to go along with something so repugnant. What a bunch of cowards.
“[M]y employer has had to replace numerous pieces of equipment and machinery due to the crazy increase in processing and sales since the Covid madness started.”
Your employer was fortunate to find replacement parts.
I suspect there are other processing plants whose machinery is jury-rigged to remain operational.
Certain operations were shut down for a while until new equipment could be purchased. In some instances, machinery is being bought second-hand from other operations which were driven out of business. Still, finding qualified people to operate this equipment has been difficult. Our saving grace is that we do not run 24/7.
My eBay business specializes in obsolete parts for industrial devices. It is sort of a hit or miss business, but it has been pretty good since early 2020.
What do you call 10 FBI agents chained to the bottom of the ocean? A good start.
I was skeptical about that Florida child-porn bust that took out two and injured a few more. Inside job? Pretty rare, you know, like 9/11. If it was, no complaints here, let them feed on their own. If the white hats that exist are mute, they’re part of the problem.
Yeah, rapidly losing faith in white hats
Only ten?
In reading about one of the crashes, it was in a adjacent parking lot that hit 4 empty tractor trailers.
But that qualifies the propaganda of “destroying” a food plant.
If people spent as much time looking at DeSantis’ list of doners (Brown and Brown, CFR, Chamber of Commerce, Club for Growth, Koch Brothers) as they do these conspiracies… Conservatives may learn the difference between republicans and actual conservatives.
Saving the kids is good enough for me.
I agree. The House of Mouse needs to come down.
It is a good point to be aware of, but there is no question he will win, so it may be as simple as kissing his ring.
Please enlighten us. I’m trying to see the end game of why those donors you mentioned would benefit from DeSantis policies.
Big boys always hedge their bets.
That crash news item was certainly overplayed. The other crash was a pilot in trouble.
Yep. I notice he has done nothing to address the vehicles for the 2020 fraud, Dominion, drop boxes, etc. Keeping them in place for his masters.
Once is an instance
Twice is no more than coincidence
Third time is enemy action
And the enemy is within.
It is always interesting to look at the Market Side of the topic whenever these events occur.
First, part of Sundance’s “Food Chain” Picture illustrates two major components Consumer Staple Economic Market Section; Retailing Sub-Sector and the Food Products Sub-Sector.
[Note: restaurants is a Sub-Sector under Consumer Staples.]
Second, The financial performance of these two Sub-Sectors (Retailing and Food Products) had been the opposite of the General Market Down Trends and Benchmarks for the past 9-12 months. That follows presentations I have seen during Quarterly Report webinars by Financial Investment Companies as well as the fact Financial Institutions are encouraging investment in these sectors as a hedge vs the coming recession.
So, Sundance’s assessment of “over use”and “little maintenance” is also supported by ROI in those two Sub-Sectors.
Also, I have seen little evidence of “new facilities” or “facility expansion”, which also supports Sundance’s assessment that the Government and Financial Whales ALL know expansion is not needed as the Shamdemic induced a fluctuation in the food chain that was not caused by normal consumer metrics but by the Government choking off demand.
That being said…one could almost be lulled into over use of machinery being the sole cause. Yet, the financial puppet masters have and continue to use Markets to drive their globalist agenda, supported by ALL 3-Branches of the US Government. So, US Government Supported Operations PURPOSELY INDUCING SUPPLY hick-ups while the Whales (and by extension those Blind Accounts of Politicians) “short the market” needs to stay within view of the curious cat.
Also, consider there is a major push to consolidate ownership of assets within the Food Products Sub-Sector. What better way to accomplish that task bit some good old fashioned sabotage and buy-out action.
Correction: the fingers outran the brain….Restruants is a Sub-Sector under the Consumer Discretionary Sector.
One of my theories for sky high prices of everything is the globalists are trying to get back the crumbs Trump gave us for 4 years. The proles getting a few crumbs is intolerable to these greedy selfish pigs.
My thoughts, too. These people really are feudalists, with them being the landed gentry and us as the serfs.
Burning food plants is the more visible manifestation of a larger problem. More dire is the deferred maintenance of people. The neglect, abuse and deferred maintenance of people as the direct result of kungflu policies has already sentenced millions to death. Failure to maintain the workings of food and other production lines is now showily revealed in increased factory breakdowns. The outcome of denied medical screenings, treatments, tests, and other care are harder to visualize because there are no splashy explosions when a person dies of an illness that should have been identified and treated in a timely manner.
How many will die due to denied care? How many years of life have been stripped from those who survive kungflu tyranny? How many years of suffering have been imposed on people who weren’t killed outright by kungflu tyranny but will survive only by means of special measures (amputations, loss of dignity, loss of mobility, dialysis, catheters, etc.)? Food plants are a reminder of the toll being paid for by millions of individuals for deferred medical maintenance .
Good comment. I expect more people have died, and will die, as a result of the shutdown in the health industry than actually dies from the Covid virus. We’ll never know that exact number because it will never be tracked.
I tell people this, but get “ho-hum”. It does need to be said, and prepared for.
Good point.
The health care system is also going to be profoundly overwhelmed with the Vaxx Compromised to the degree that all such Health Maintenance activities will be long deferred if not entirely omitted.
Thanks Sundance.
I have reached out to a not so well known mathematician on this matter.
He presented a thesis of work related to the probability of the sars-cov-2 virus originating in china.
He performed his mathematics and the result wasn’t particularly revealing at all. It was something like 1 out of 50,000.
but then he changed the “question” in the math (that is to say he added important variables):
that the virus happened IN china, Near the Wuhan Lab , added the variables that china has had 3 major lab leaks before (that we know of), AND that the virus caused and was responsible for a global pandemic and also that it was genomically similar very similar to sars-cov-1.
What is astonishing, is that the probablity of all these things happening becomes 1 out of 5.
Form an engineering standpoint, from a risk metric, 1 out of 5 is a very significant probability.
for zero tolerance failure systems or risk averse critical infrastructure, 1 out of 5 would be seen as a failure and every effort made to engineer into the processes more safety mechanisms. And if not that, then abandon the project and start from scratch. Systems like: dangerous pathogen research labs, Passenger aircraft, Critical Infrastructure elements (transformers, twitches, hubs), medical life saving equipment, safety elements in vehicles (seat belts, tires, brakes, air bags), etc and so on.
I learned something very counter-intuitive when I read his simple thesis on the math approach to the wuhan lab:
what may seem unlikely from a typical set of circumstances, becomes almost nearly unevitable when just a few factors are introduced or exposed as failure items.
wuhan was NOT a black swan event in the sense that it would not be considered a low risk threat. The impact of course was significantly higher than “anyone” could have expected. But it’s important to distinguish what his math and what black swan events cannot properly examine:
if the event was intentional
this is why his type of mathematical approach has limits when focused on things such as terrorism, war, DC politics, FBI conduct, etc. Those things have variables that cannot be measured in math. But we humans, being incredibly gifted well past the limits of our math constructs, are the most powerful difference machines that will ever be created. So we have this ability to examine patterns and take in very slight nuance and small details in a very short period of time and form pretty reliable notions as to the cause and the mechanisms by which failure or problems or conflicts are caused. God has given us this gift of intellect.
The math guy might be helpful in the sense that it can provide a general scope of credence that these similar events are somewhat related and may have a common cause.
I would say this, without getting the math done…there is definitely something worth examining here. It IS perculiar.
and for those interested in peculiar, I draw your attention to a not so small and consequential development of hepatitis in scotland over the last several months. And in other areas, all impacted <5 year old children. It’s so significant, the entire science community in scotland has engaged to examine the cause and why the cases have spiked. What is important to recognize is that these cases of hepatitis are not physically linked among the children. Distances are great, and no common links. Many are facing organ transplant requirements.
I have some unproven theories about the cause, and I admit I have a pretty well developed bias about what is most likely the reason for this and many other future diseases, cancers and illness and deaths. I am sure many of you know where I stand on this having stated it in clear terms. mRNA. Just as dangerous as the virus itself in some people…and over time…no one really knows the safety hazard. I think we start to find out soon either way. But we have to pay attention ….and investigate, because the “news” is certainly not going to be covering this.
So in that sense, we have to be careful not to adopt a full unrobed conspiracy attitude. By unrobed, I mean we have every right to speculate and even posit that there is something nefarious and unnatural to some of these events, but the difference is made when we apply validation, falsification, and corroboration through other means. It does require work. But we live in the misinformation age, so we have to be on the top of our games.
let me explain what the misinformation age is about: the goal of presenting misinformation is to create confusion. Confusion leads to fear. Fear is the mind killer.. A human without a functioning reasoned mind has not agility or focus. In warfare/totalitarianism..the most effective way to control a large population is to make them fearful, frustrated, stop thinking about big things and small details and keep them either in a state of constant anger, or a state of “I just don’t care anymore”
conspiracy theories “can” lead to exhaustion. If you don’t put the work in to verify, validate, falsify, corroborate, then you have actually performed the vicious cycle that a misinformation campaign intentionally develops TOWARD YOU.
the best strategy to solve psyops programs, is to be still of mind and examine the facts and draw them out.
not to become saturated with uncertainty.
just my opinion
I am not a math genius and I figured from the beginning that this covid hysteria had everything to do with massive mail in ballots to get rid of Trump and ram their globalism down our throats. The simple answer is usually correct. It all comes down to power, money, and control. “The most honest election in earth’s history,” ROTFLMFAO. How could anyone believe that steaming pile of horseshit?
AR,
Not possible for anyone rational to believe in a legitimate Biden victory. If I could be sure that the result would be honest, I would wager every nickel I ever made, now own, or will ever possess on a legitimate Trump victory. That victory was stolen in six urban centers by outright, in-your-face election fraud supported by both the ‘Rats and the damned crooked Pubs.
What angers me most about the theft is the betrayal by people sworn to be on the Republican side. If I saw a mob of angry people putting nooses around the necks of Ducey, Raffensperger, Kemp, McConnell, Romney and McCarthy with the obvious intent of stringing them up from lampposts, AND I COULD STOP THE MOB BY PHYSICAL FORCE, I would not. I would just keep walking and let them carry on. I would figure that the hanged were getting the kind of rough justice they deserved for aiding and abetting the election theft, and that maybe the hangings might send a critically important message to the next rotten group of politicians who decided to deliberately engage in election fraud.
I want to think that the Federal elected officials don’t know just how angry and disgusted the population of this nation is with them. If they know, and just don’t care, we are a great deal closer to a violent revolution than most people think or want to believe.
Nooses? If they were set on fire in the street I wouldn’t pi$$ on them even as I stood by having beer after beer to watch.
They. Don’t. Care.
Nice. Let’s see the math.
I have not gotten a reply yet from Nick Ingram.
However, if you want to inspect his math on the probability of a lab “leak” at wuhan to demonstrate how the math is used, refer to this:
https://clearthinking.co/did-covid-leak-from-a-lab-a-bayesian-approach/
correction: in my post I made an error (from my poor memory)…when the simple vanilla math “priors” was followed, the probability was 1:50…(not the 1:50,000 I incorrectly cited..). However, when key relevant “priors” are introduced the probability goes to 1:5! This is not a trivial difference…Meaning those variables (or “priors”) are very important to understand and the effect they have on the chances of a lab leak (whether intentional or not, the author does not inspect…again, it is virtually impossible to apply “intention” leak scenario….it’s just not something that is accurately described in math…please refer to my opinion about how to overcome this obstacle…if it smells rotten, don’t eat it. If it looks like a duck and it flies…it probably is a bird…if it quacks. It’s very likely a duck..But we don’t have that information.. So from a practical approach, we can “discount” the argument for or against intentional or not, and just apply the math that is DID leak from a lab. Regardless if this was intentional or not, the math reveals something quite significant.
So read that and stay tuned. I believe Nick will respond. He seems interested in these kinds of matters being a wonk and appreciates how math can help determine the chances of something…especially when dealing with very important details. (for instance, most people accept on face value without inspection that flying in an aircraft is safer than driving in a car. And generally, broadly this claim can be made correct and math is useful. However, If I change the variables, and say for instance: you only drive in drunk hours …your odds of getting into a lethal crash go up…quite a bit. And likewise, if I say, you only fly small experimental aircraft..the odds go up that you will be involved in a fatal crash….quite a bit, the odds go up ..simply by changing the variables..
so broad reaching statistics and probabilities are not very helpful for special cases. And it turns OUT that in special cases is where you find the highest incidence of risk! I think everyone understand this commonly. But when you start doing the math, it really shows just how much of a difference these differences make.
Some people for instance believe that more children drown in family swimming pools. But If I should you how very few children actually drown in family swimming pools that HAVE GATES…then it becomes obvious where the actual risk happens.
Anyway…long in the tooth.
to be fair and give another view, one that I am sure here at CTH will be met with some resistance and even rejection, I provide another “study”…this one printed by NPR..They approach the issue in a completely different way…and of course, hold your nose as the “experts” are none other than the special group that is likely to have caused the bioweapon. But I leave this link to show how “math” can be terribly abused with the assumptions and writing style to describe the math.
https://david-griffiths.medium.com/covid-19-origins-weighing-the-odds-28f1a012f396
noting: of the two sources, I am inclined to place more confidence with Nick…For no other reason that his math is simple, straight forward and not shaded with obvious conflicts of interest. His math is also easy to verify. The NPR piece does have some strong points too, but the manner in which they form an opinion and the people they rely on for “facts” is revealing about the agenda behind the article. Which is to say: the article is riddled with bias and bullshit.
I will post an update when (IF) Nick Responds and shows interest in doing math on these strange and peculiar food processing fires and other related events.
God Bless America
Different math. The joint probability of any of these food processing explosions happening independently is already very small, lest we’d have heard about them from time to time in the past, and they’d have trouble getting insured.
We’re looking at a JOINT probability of these incredibly unlikely events occuring together, within a very small timeframe AND at a time of loudly predicted famine, decreased fertilizer supplies, and other supply interruptions and economic turbulence aimed largely at the west. The joint probability of all of these factory explosions co-occurring is arbitrarily close to zero.
Intentional.
But hey. What about all those conspiracy theories that turned out to be true six months later ?
Spoiler Alerts are the new Conspiracy Theories.
but hey, how many conspiracy theories never panned out at all?
Just to be fair, I am not against forming theories about something. But also in fairness, it is also true that there is a wild lot of conspiracy theorist “out there” that have an agenda to sell extraordinary tales of fantasy and make money or get recognition in doing it. There IS a fixation on this behavior. I believe it is common almost a universal trait for humans to attempt to form some reasons why bad things (or good things) happen. In my lifetime, this has increased to volume 14 and there is an endless supply of incredible stories that attempt to explain what actually may just be coincidence, or a cause that no one has noticed…yet.
It’s a human feature, unlikely to improve generally speaking.
But we are conservative treehouse. We test things for the truth. We examine the facts, the evidence, the leads and we corroborate and verify.
This not to suggest at all that we end conspiracy theory formations. But rather to draw attention to what actually distinguishes between pure ungrounded theory and something that has enough elements of truth and pattern that is unlikely to have been coincidental. The tools for performing this work are within the grasp of anyone capable and willing to learn how to test facts. It does take alot of work. Especially for those problems where facts are difficult to establish…or where there is an obvious misinformation campaign about those details…
Sometimes, the dog that doesn’t bark at all tells you many things in this age of misinformation. Also obvious declarations about a subject that do not hold up under scrutiny do as well.
math can’t solve all of that. But it can help put things into detailed context.
example: Today I will begin saying: the saints are going to win the superbowl. I will say this every single day until I die (I am a saints fan….less than before, but in the context of having a home favorite, it’s the saints for me.) But will the saints win the superbowl?
Eventually they will. And so, I can claim my prediction was correct.
But is anyone paying attention to the decades of time that passed and the many days I made the prediction where the saints did NOT win the superbowl.
conspiracy theories can be a trap. A broken clock is twice right each day. A blind squirrel may even find a nut. But it is those 23 hours and 59 minutes, and 59 seconds that the broken clock is not accurate and the thousands of nutes that the blind squirrel will never find.
So math is somewhat useful…not perfect and it doesn’t solve some serious problems about corruption, bad behavior, tricks, deceptions. Math is not very accurate in gauging human behavior. Not at the individual level, but broadly it can be useful to predict how mass mobs of people are inclined to behave.
there is a reason why I avoid cities…densely populated areas with high concentrations of people who often behave in a very irrational and self abusing manner. Not all, but the trends support this opinion. In the smaller towns, there is a sense of individualism that is respected and acknowledged. I am of the opinion this is related to many factors, but chief among them is that in small towns people do depend on each other to make things happen. In larger cities, there does not seem to be this sense of community and mutually shared ownership over the important matters.
Just my opinion. I’ve been wrong many time before.
You mean conspiracies.
Not long ago, I read that w.e.f./gates gamed something like this called cyber polygon. Interesting to note that, as well, there have been explosions and fires at military facilities inside Russia lately.
I used to read Arthur Hailey novels just to get a handle on how industries besides my own actually operated. Hailey was before the tech revolution completely changed the way things were done, but I suspect the food processing industry has not changed as much as many others. Great post, Sundance. Now I read CTH to get info on how key industries function and how the Authoritarian State continually messes things up for the Main Street (real) economy! Thanks.
Dean Koontz’s works have well prepared me for Dystopia Now.
True the Vote uses *#06# to sniff out voter fraud.
Why not use *#06# to sniff out sabotage?
Excuse me for bit*h slapping public awareness about how to logically prove or disprove a conspiracy without all the waste of time idle speculation.
Let’s get smart and stop guessing then if we’re wrong simply move on.
Amen! Sick of this benefit of the doubt we’re supposed to afford those who would call us terrorists. If we’re wrong, we’ll actually apologize, as opposed to them.
If you take a deep dive into the supposed Great Reset and Agenda 2030, you come away with one inescapable conclusion. They don’t happen without a forced depopulation of the planet. It is an intrinsic trait of those globalist schemes.
Why does it feel like we are frogs being slowly boiled within society? Because we are.
Having worked in factories for decades I have seen many industrial accidents.
They have ranged from personal injuries to fires.
Fires that I have witnessed were confined to wiring for one machine shorting out and causing the evacuation of the building. The very next day we were back in business without that one particular piece of equipment until it could be repaired.
Never have I seen or heard of a company burning to rubble.
This is a socialist renaming of a unprecedented catastrophe into a case of “ an industrial accident “
WORDS MATTER
Good point, much of my 45 years in industry were spent in petrochemical, ag and food processing. Even in the 70’s, when I was working oil and gas, there were plenty of redundancies in place and accidents were relatively rare even without all the modern safety rules and devices. I happened to be working in the Avenal field when the big Coalinga quake hit nearby. Some stuff tripped off but work went on as usual. I was working on the boilers to steam the fields and didn’t miss a beat, kept punching out those asbestos gaskets.
We know how to take an industrial plant or any infrastructure down even with the redundacies and safety measures and security in place. There are millions of us out there. I see this as more theater. Typical MSM bravo sierra to scare the population.
Yes. All good points. Yet the FBI cyber-hack warning raises the hackles on my neck.
There has never been an adequate explanation for Union Pacific throttling fertilizer transport…right when said fertilizer is most needed.
So I remain respectfully suspicious as well.
I was just going to suggest that maybe the FBI was involved but not in solving these…in other ways then I saw this over at TGP:

Excellent analysis SD.
How many of these facilities operate with illegals ?
Tyson is the number one employer of illegals in this country and you can bet many other processing facilities hire nothing but illegals.
You see them on TV all the time.
I looked closer into the Burley, ID crash on April 13, 2022. The airplane was a single-engine Cessna 208 “Caravan” and is a sophisticated airplane and, other than having a single P&W turbine engine, has pretty much the same capability as any other commercial-use jet. also, this type of plane is used for lots of cargo operations and is routinely operated single-pilot (no copilot).
the day of the accident the weather at Burley was awful with heavy snow, low ceilings and visibility and thunderstorms. The airport at Burley only has a single, non-precision approach. Radar data shows the pilot attempting an approach and failing, executing a missed approach. On the first approach the plane did not descend below 4400 feet (which is 200 feet below the Minimum Descent Altitude). Then she tried another approach but this time descending to 4200 feet (which was only about 50 feet above the ground). The airplane struck the chimney and crashed.
I don’t know about all the other incidents at processing plants but this one was certainly an accident due to pilot error caused by descent below minimums albeit with a bunch of other contributing factors (weather, single-pilot and high workload stress, obstruction directly in the approach path, etc). But not suspicious.
Yep, that was simply a bad ending at spot in the landing path that happened to include a processing plant. The demise of a young life for some boxes. Nothing sinister IMO other than the whole freight-dog system with its time and money pressures.
The Canadian CBC host and environmentalist David Suzuki warned that global warming activists intended to begin attacking oil pipelines and refineries.
With thousands of miles of pipelines in North America, they would prove impossible to defend. And the sabotage to the pipes would be presented as proof that oil pipelines were simply too great a risk to the environment.
The modern Left has migrated from attempting to construct a positive vision for the future (socialism?) to the nihilism of anarchism. When nearly everything is a potential target, the only recourse would be a police state (lockdowns?). One way or another, drastic counter measures will be required.
“When nearly everything is a potential target, the only recourse would be a police state (lockdowns?).”
NO. That’s one recourse.
Making harsh examples of criminals is another.
Deputizing large numbers of patriots to enforce the law is yet another.
Punishing the leadership of the terrorists is yet another.
Since we’re already a police state, might as well get the party started. However, I guess we can spend more of our valuable lives posting up examples, as if there aren’t enough already. That would definitely be job security if such a paying job existed. IDK, maybe one does 🙂
Without being conspiratorial; I am recalling that most of equipment and not-so-good steel has been made in CH, to top it off.
We all know CH makes thing to last for a certain period of time; like when the warranty is up. One thing these globalist creeps have down pat is timing. Many people are now planting victory type gardens, I can grow potatoes in a pot! It is grow your own and get a dry/dehydrated food supply; we can barter for meat, although in CA they have rezoned much of the land so you can’t even have a chicken. Stock up on seeds and there is a YouTube video for everything!
Azure Standard in Oregan is a Christian based organic food supplier. I believe they say they are the largest organic food supplier in the U.S., and if they aren’t the largest, they’re near the top.
We got an email from them the day after their headquarters/part processing facility part manufacturing facility burned to the ground. That was within the last two weeks. A few days ago we got another email letting us know the fire was ruled an accident, caused by how a bucket of corn had been stored. That combustion thing when a grain is dry on the outside and wet on the inside.
It’s hard for me to believe this company does not know how to properly store every grain — as a matter of fact I know they are very mindful to do just that.
But, as you said, Sundance, things happen, people carry buckets of corn, set them down to head-off to the next emergency, then forget where they were and what they were doing prior to the emergency. That’s why they’re called accidents — that’s what we all say.
Seeing the raging inferno at Azure Standard makes it hard to believe that fire started from a bucket of corn, but the owners believe it to be true, so my suspicious cat sits in the back and takes it all in — for now.
This post has made me feel better. After watching them steal the 2020 race, I no longer doubt that they would intentionally starve millions of Americans. This morning I had a thought that cash for clunkers may have been a big plot to get us all on electronic ignition cars that can be turned off simultaneously. Then it hit me how I’ve evolved over these last few decades from being somewhat distrustful of the government to being a full blown conspiracy theorist.
If they would release a virus and kill millions across the globe causing food insecurity is no big deal. It’s all part of the WEF plan.
I admit I only scanned the article rather than reading every word, but it occurs to me that with manpower problems comes hiring of new (inexperienced) headcount, and that has to bump the risk of industrial accidents up somewhat.
in these times,
when things happen,
look first to klod schlob and his backing shadows.
As Speculation Grows That Rash of Food Facility Fires Are Intentional,
Here’s a List to See for Yourself (substack.com)–J.D. Rucker:
” Some of the incidents that people have reported I was not able to independently verify, and others I felt were too minor to be put on this list. With all that being said, the following is a list of 16 major fires that have occurred at key food industry facilities in the U.S. since the start of 2022…
#1 Salinas, California
#2 Hermiston, Oregon
#3 Conway, New Hampshire
#4 San Juan, Texas
#5 Jonesboro, Arkansas
#6 Mauston, Wisconsin
#7 Fayetteville, Illinois
#8 Belfast, Maine
#9 Leoti, Kansas
#10 Claypool, Indiana
#11 Winston-Salem, Carolina
#12 Sunnyside, Washington
#13 Lecompte, Louisiana
#14 Maricopa, Arizona
#15 Dufur, Oregon
#16 Planfield, Indiana
Of course it is not unusual for there to be fires at food industry facilities, and fire departments are accustomed to responding to such fires and putting them out. But in many of these cases, we are talking about absolutely uncontrollable fires that seemed to erupt very suddenly.”…….
(Does not include the fire at the Maricopa Ballot Farm)
Aircraft accidents are unrelated to any food processing plant activities. The accident at the General Mills plant in Atlanta stands out. Witnesses on the ground confirm hearing what they believe was “engine trouble”. This was a small twin engine aircraft. Do some research on what happens to a light twin attempting to fly on one engine when the pilot inadvertently lets the airspeed drop below “blue line”, and then read witness accounts of what happened when the plane crashed.
Who works at food processing plants? Union workers who are loyal to democrats and democrat leadership. Union workers who could sabotage the equipment or let other saboteurs in to do the same. There is definitely something nefarious going on and nobody has figured it out yet.
Most of the blue collar folks that work in the mfg industry that I know are pissed off at the dem party policies. Very strong support for President Trump.
What I have noticed lately:
Trip to Wal-Mart yesterday had me sympathizing with a fellow shopper: “Less product, higher price.” A stocker heard us talking and said, “I don’t know how young families are doing it. Unless they’re using food stamps to pay for their heaping full cart. For the last five days I’ve had toast for supper. I can’t afford much meat and bread is cheap.”
If I didn’t know any better, I might think that shortage of toilet paper and paper towels a few years back was contrived.
I don’t know any better.
thank you for your well reasoned response to a concerning issue
Certain conditions had to be set up in order for the next phase of of their Socialist Agenda to take place! Look forward to a Declaration of Marshall Lawcoming before the 2022 Elections! Were you wonderring how they would stay in power? Wonder no more, there will be no Election!
Re: parts shortages: Just talked to a friend in N. TX last night who told me that’s his neighbor’s GPS-controlled farm tractor (think big) had been inop at the Dealer for the past 6 months waiting on a back-ordered part.
Before then, I hadn’t thought about the vulnerability of tractors impacting the food supply, but it makes sense.
So why are they REALLY killing all the poultry?
Why are they destroying the poultry?
Certain conditions have to be brought about in order for Socialist Democrats to push their Agenda! The Ability to declare Marshall Law befor the 2022 Election, and while they are still in control is One of the reasons! Marshall Law will enable them to avoid Elections and brinng about their Domination of our Nation!
