Dozens of industrial food processing facilities have been damaged or destroyed by fires, plane crashes, and other accidents in recent weeks.

Another food processing facility has caught fire in Chesapeake, Virginia on Saturday, amid a spate of mysterious food plant accidents taking place across America.

The latest incident took place at the Perdue Farms grain processing facility, where a soybean tank was found ablaze by plant workers.

From WTKR 3:

Firefighters received a call at 501 Barnes Road at 8:41 p.m. after a plant operator at Perdue acknowledged and verified a fire at the location. All employees from the area were evacuated.
When crews arrived they found a large soybean processing tank with flames showing from the top. Firefighters climbed multiple flights of stairs using multiple hose lines to battle the fire.
The fire was called under-control at 9:48 p.m. with no injuries reported.
Soybean products must now be removed from the tank to verify the fire is completely extinguished.

Fortunately, there were no reported injuries and the plant manager claims the fire will not hinger the plant’s daily operations.

Over the last several week alone, dozens of food processing facilities have been damaged or destroyed in fires, plane crashes, and other curious incidents across the U.S.

This disastrous trend of destroyed industrial food plants coinciding with already rising food costs and supply chain issues prompted Fox News host Tucker Carlson to question the timing of these accidents.

‘Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste’: Biden Official Celebrates Fertilizer Shortages Forcing Farmers To Seek ‘Natural Solutions’​

"This may hasten transitions that would have been in the interest of farmers to make eventually anyway," says Samantha Power.

Biden official Samantha Power celebrated the global fertilizer shortage resulting from the Ukraine conflict, claiming it will “hasten transitions” for farmers to use “natural solutions.”

Power, who now serves as the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), said the fertilizer shortages are actually “in the interest of farmers”, claiming “manure and compost” are more eco-friendly alternatives.


“Fertilizer shortages are real now because Russia is a big exporter of fertilizer,” Power said told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “And even though fertilizer is not sanctioned, less fertilizer is coming out of Russia. As a result, we’re working with countries to think about natural solutions like manure and compost.”

“And this may hasten transitions that would have been in the interest of farmers to make eventually anyway. So, never let a crisis go to waste,” she said.

“But we really do need this financial support from the Congress to be able to meet emergency food needs to we don’t see the cascading deadly effects of Russia’s war extend into Africa and beyond,” Power added.

Fertilizer costs have nearly doubled over the last year, thanks in part to the fertilizer shortage ginned up from the Russia-Ukraine war.

The shortage is continuing to drive up the price of food and commodities immensely, with the Department of Agriculture predicting that food prices will continue to rise by at least 5% over the next year.

“If you think paying $10 for a pound of bacon or $6 for a pound of butter is bad, it’s about to get more expensive,” USA Today wrote.

Skyrocketing food costs are now threatening food security not just in the third world, but the developed world as well.

From Bloomberg:

For the billions of people around the world who don’t work in agriculture, the global shortage of affordable fertilizer likely reads like a distant problem. In truth, it will leave no household unscathed.
In even the least-disruptive scenario, soaring prices for synthetic nutrients will result in lower crop yields and higher grocery-store prices for everything from milk to beef to packaged foods for months or even years to come across the developed world.
And in developing economies already facing high levels of food insecurity? Lower fertilizer use risks engendering malnutrition, political unrest and, ultimately, the otherwise avoidable loss of human life.

As Power suggested, the elite won’t let this avoidable “crisis go to waste” if it can advance the left’s Great Reset agenda.

Food Processing Plant Fires: Conspiracy Or Coincidence?​

In the midst of unprecedented inflation, skyrocketing commodity prices and projected food shortages and supply chain issues arising as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, an interesting story has started to surface: food processing plants globally appear to be catching fire and burning down at a notable rate.
First, lets examine what seems odd. For weeks, social media users and bloggers have been throwing around the story that dozens of food processing facilities have mysteriously burned down over the last few months.
It’s a phenomenon that has even caught the attention of top rated cable TV news host Tucker Carlson, who spoke about it this week.
“This is the second time in a week something like this happened,” Carlson said about breaking news after a plane crashed into a food facility in Georgia.
“So industrial accidents happen, of course, but this is a lot of industrial accidents at food processing plants. At the same time the president is warning us of food shortages. They’re getting hit by planes and catching on fire. What is going on here?” Carlson asked.
Carlson’s guest, Jason Rantz opined: “It could lead to some serious food shortages. That’s why people are wondering, well, number one, what’s going on? And you’ve got people speculating that this might be an intentional way to disrupt the food supply. Police are saying that these fires are due to faulty issues with equipment, so they’re not saying this was intentional."
But Carlson admitted there was little in the way of evidence of a conspiracy: “The onus is on people who think this is a conspiracy theory to explain what is going on, what are the odds of that. I have no idea.”

The Western Standard has also been following the story closely and found dozens upon dozens of incidents globally.
“Beyond North American food processing plants, there have been dozens more food processing facilities destroyed in fires and explosions in the last two years,” the outlet wrote days ago.
“Fires in the food industry are not uncommon,” but the incidents appear to be on the rise, the report said.
The outlet recapped some of the more recent incidents, which it compiled in this list (this is only a partial list, TWS’s full list is here):

• On Monday, 43,000 chickens died in a massive fire that destroyed four chicken houses on a farm in the Dutch town of Heusden, according to World Today News.
• In March, a fire at a poultry farm in India killed 3,500 chickens. According to PiPa News, the fire destroyed the entire farm.
• Another poultry farm in India was also hit by fire in March killing 8,500 chicks. Times of India reported the fire may have been caused by a short circuit.
• In January, a fire at a poultry farm in Kerala, India killed more than 2,500 chickens, according to The Print.
• In December 2021, 8,000 chickens were killed in a poultry farm blaze in Sri Lanka. News First reported the fire was likely sparked by an “electrical leak.”
• A massive blaze at a Northern Ireland farm killed hundreds of pigs in November 2021, as reported by News Letter. No one was injured.
• In October 2021, a large fire at a Fermanagh poultry farm in Northern Ireland killed 16,000 birds. It took firefighters more than seven hours to get control of the fire, as reported by That’s Farming.
• A large fire broke out in September 2021 at a Chilean food processing plant. Although no injuries were reported, several crews were needed to battle the blaze, as reported by La Tercera.
• In July 2021, a deadly fire at a Bangladesh food processing factory kills at least 52 people, as reported by Aljazeera.
• Another fire at a poultry house in East Yorkshire, England in July 2021 killed 50,000 chickens. The fire was said to be caused by accidental ignition, as reported by the Daily Mail.
• In April 2021, over 55,000 pigs were killed after a fire broke out at a German pig farm. USA Today reported the cause of the blaze was unclear.

Additionally, the FBI has also warned about cyberattacks against food processing plants (yet another reason I like cybersecurity stocks) in the days following coverage of the fires.

Zero Hedge reported last weekend that the FBI's Cyber Division published a notice warning about increased cyber-attack threats on agricultural cooperatives.

"Ransomware actors may be more likely to attack agricultural cooperatives during critical planting and harvest seasons, disrupting operations, causing financial loss, and negatively impacting the food supply chain," the notice read, adding 2021 and early 2022 ransomware attacks on farming co-ops could affect the current planting season "by disrupting the supply of seeds and fertilizer."
The agency warned, "A significant disruption of grain production could impact the entire food chain, since grain is not only consumed by humans but also used for animal feed ... In addition, a significant disruption of grain and corn production could impact commodities trading and stocks. "

Zero Hedge astutely noted that this is “all happening as the Ukraine-Russian conflict has disrupted the global food supply chain. Food prices are at record highs, and the Rockefeller Foundation just released their timeframe of when a ‘massive, immediate food crisis’ may begin -- they say, ‘in the next six months.’”
Now, let’s examine the skeptical side. There are tens of thousands of such facilities globally, and so “dozens” of fires aren’t exactly statistically significant. Logically writes:

Upon investigation, Logically found many articles about fires and accidents at food processing units in 2019. According to a 2019 report by USDA, the United States has more than 36,000 food and beverage processing units in operation. Minor damages through fires to a small handful of food processing factories would not cause a food shortage across the country.

And fact checkers seem to be in unison that there were little to no evidence of foul play in any of the incidents. The crew at PolitiFact said:

We looked at each of the 18 fires mentioned in the Facebook post and found no evidence that any of them were intentionally set.
Twelve were either ruled accidental, or no foul play was suspected. One was at a vacant building that once housed a meat plant. In five others, the fires are either still under investigation or investigators have not publicly announced any cause found — intentional or otherwise.
Some of the plants were completely destroyed or heavily damaged, while others suffered minor damage with little impact on food production. Though the post said the 18 fires happened in the past six months, only 12 of those happened in that time frame.

Snopes also wrote:

The claim of a new “trend” of fires at food processing facilities does not hold up upon scrutiny. Almost all of the fires on meme lists involved explainable causes, and we found no examples of suspected arson.

Well I guess that settles it then, right? You can read the full “debunking” of the narrative here.

And the Hits Against the American Food Supply System Keep On Coming​

By Jeff Thompson
Continuing the discussion on the current happenings within the American food supply chain, we have a series of strange events that have taken place over the course of the past week or two that you may want to catch up on.

Perdue Farms catches fire in Chesapeake, Virginia.​

April 30 at 8:30 PM, a fire was reported at the Perdue Farms grain processing and storage facility in Chesapeake, Virginia. When firemen reported to the scene, they found a large soybean processing tank that was on fire. Crews were able to get the fire under control within an hour, and no injuries to employees of the facility were reported.
According to the plant manager, the damage from the fire will have a “minimal impact” on the facility’s production or operation capacities.

Spokane Seed Co catches fire in Spokane, Washington​

Early on April 29, the Spokane Seed Co in Spokane, Washington, reported a fire just after midnight. The fire was in a multi-story seed storage silo. The company is known for its processing of chickpeas, peas, and lentils. Firemen responded to the scene and were able to contain the fire in two hours but apparently had a difficult time in doing so.
According to the fire department, “The difficulty involving the fire was that it was located in multiple locations as the origin was the auger unit that moved material from ground level and delivers it to the top of the silo; therefore, there was smoldering material located at the bottom of the auger and burning material that had been delivered to the top of the silo.”
(For the record, Powder Bulk and Solids published two pieces of late on April 26 and April 28 claiming that the uptick in fires at food processing facilities was a myth. They then reported the Spokane Fire on April 29 and the Chesapeake fire on May 2. They appear to have largely used Snopes to determine that the uptick in food processing fires was a myth and declared that “the continued spread of the rumor in the news media and on social media is perhaps attributable to a lack of awareness of industrial fire safety issues among the general public.”)

Oklahoma reports highly pathogenic avian influenza and will now monitor backyard chicken flocks.​

According to the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry, as well as the US Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), a case of HPAI was found in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma, at a commercially run chicken farm.
As of this past Sunday, all chicken swaps, sales, and exhibits have now been declared by these two agencies to be illegal in the state of Oklahoma until July 30. Oklahoma says that it is “working diligently with federal partners to prevent further spread of the virus.”

E-Course: Backyard Chickens for Eggs​

Both state and federal officials will now begin to conduct surveillance of all poultry flocks in the area around the Sequoyah County case – both commercial and backyard flocks.
Officials are asking chicken owners to alert them if their birds produce strange eggs, don’t produce eggs, have diarrhea, cough, sneeze, have low energy, die, or show signs of respiratory distress.

A Colorado inmate has been diagnosed with a human case of H5N1.​

The highly pathogenic avian influenza strain talked about at the moment is H5N1. A Colorado inmate was recently diagnosed as the first case of H5N1 in a human in recent times. The man was in a pre-release program and had been involved in moving chickens from an infected farm prior to his diagnosis.
Lisa Wiley, the spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Corrections, said, “When bird flu was detected at the farm in Montrose County, the inmates were asked to help in the process of killing and removing the birds.”
To be infected with H5N1, one needs close contact with infected birds. The man reported fatigue for a few days before recovering. According to the CDC, “it was possible the man only had the virus present in his nose but that his body was not infected.” In other words, the man may have just been fatigued.

What will we see next?​

Food is likely to become more scarce in the very near future. Numerous voices are openly stating that outright global famine is on the way, and it would be prudent to take these warnings seriously. Food is only going to grow more expensive six months from now. Do you have the ability to feed your family for an extended period of time? Do you have the ability to grow your own food? Have you figured out ways to boost your current food production?
If you haven’t accomplished or thought of any of these of late, it is now high time.

World’s Largest Fertilizer Company Warns of Crop Nutrient Disruptions Through 2023​

by Zero Hedge

Ukraine conflict has sparked soaring prices, shortages of crop nutrients

The world’s largest fertilizer company warned supply disruptions could extend into 2023.

A bulk of the world’s supply has been taken offline due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. This has sparked soaring prices and shortages of crop nutrients in top growing areas worldwide; an early indication of a global food crisis could be in the beginning innings.

Bloomberg reports Canada-based Nutrien Ltd.’s CEO Ken Seitz told investors on Tuesday during a conference call that he expects to increase potash production following supply disruptions in Russia and Ukraine (both major fertilizer suppliers). Seitz expects disruptions “could last well beyond 2022.”

Seitz said the conflict plus Western sanctions on Russia and Belarus has reduced fertilizer supply on global markets and could reshape crop nutrient trade, thus creating even more supply uncertainty.

“Could there be a change in global trade patterns as a result? We think that’s a possibility,” he said.

Fertilizer disruptions could be a multi-year event. Already, farmers worldwide are reducing fertilizers, which may threaten yields come harvest time. The repercussions could be huge: Lower yields may exacerbate the food crisis.

Here are the latest signs commercial farmers worldwide are reducing fertilizer usage because of higher prices or shortages.

Revealed last week, SLC Agricola SA, one of Brazil’s largest farming operations, managing fields of soybeans, corn, and cotton fields in an area larger than the state of Delaware, will reduce the use of fertilizer by 20% and 25%.
Coffee farmers in Brazil, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Costa Rica, some of the largest coffee-producing countries, are expected to spread less fertilizer because of high costs and shortages. A coffee cooperative representing 1,200 farmers in Costa Rica predicts coffee output could slip 15% next year because of soaring fertilizer costs.
The International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) warned a reduction in fertilizer use would shrink yields of rice and corn come harvest time. Farmers in China, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Vietnam — the largest rice-producing countries — are spreading less fertilizer, and may result in a 10% reduction in output, equating to about 36 million tons of rice, or enough food to feed a half billion people.

Fertilizer prices in North America have surged hundreds of percent since the summer of 2020.

“Maybe it will be a two-year problem and even then it will take two to four years after that for the deficit to catch up,” The Mosaic Company’s CEO Joc O’Rourke told investors during a call on Tuesday. Mosaic is a top fertilizer company in the US.

Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum are planning to replace your food with gene-edited produce and lab-grown meat.

Outrage: EU Proposes Punitive Measures Against Farmers: Carbon Tax Threatens Food Prices and Livelihoods​

November 8, 2023 6:28 pm by CWR

Link: https://citizenwatchreport.com/outr...on-tax-threatens-food-prices-and-livelihoods/

The recent moves by Denmark’s Climate minister to make EU farmers pay for their greenhouse gas emissions and the discussion of a carbon tax on beef and dairy production are nothing short of outrageous. It’s a short-sighted approach that doesn’t address the core issue but instead puts the burden squarely on the shoulders of farmers and, ultimately, consumers.
This heavy-handed tactic won’t effectively reduce carbon emissions; it will merely drive up the cost of food. In Ireland, the proposal to cull 65,000 cows annually for three years to meet climate goals is not only an astonishingly costly endeavor but also a devastating blow to the livelihoods of those involved in the agriculture industry.

These actions display a frustrating lack of understanding and a blatant disregard for the very people who work tirelessly to feed our communities. It’s a reckless approach that demands a reevaluation and a more thoughtful consideration of the consequences. The anger and frustration among farmers and consumers alike are entirely justified in the face of such policies.

Pennsylvania Dept. of Agriculture says ALL food is “illegal” unless produced in government-approved facility

02/28/2024 // Ethan Huff // 2.3K Views

Link: https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-02...gal-unless-produced-government-facility.html/

There are new developments in the Pennsylvania government's legal crusade against Amish farmer Amos Miller, who has been under attack for years because he grows, produces and sells food to the public outside the government control matrix.

Attorney Robert Barnes of Barnes Law LLP shared an update on X explaining that, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, all food is "illegal" – just as illegal as "illegal drugs," by the way – unless it is manufactured in a government-approved facility of the kind managed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

If a farmer in any way defies this by producing food without government approval, such as is the case with Miller, then said food can be destroyed at will by the government, according to the government.

See for yourself in the legal brief that Barnes shared what PA Agriculture says about who is "allowed" to produce food in America, and who is not (i.e., unapproved Amish farmers like Miller who sell, gasp, unpasteurized raw milk).

Home-grown tomatoes aren't "food" – they're illegal drugs, according to PA Agriculture​

While the issue at hand with Miller primarily has to do with his selling of raw milk and meat outside the bounds of what the government establishment considers "safe" and "legal," PA Agriculture's arguments against him have far-reaching implications for all home-grown food.

If someone in Pennsylvania grows tomatoes, say, in his home garden, those tomatoes are no longer considered to be "food" in the eyes of PA Agriculture, but rather "illegal drugs." The same goes for home-grown cucumbers or any other vegetable or fruit.

"This is a state saying this – a few petty, unelected bureaucrats in a state office telling the rest of the state food is illegal unless it was approved by the state," tweeted someone on X about the implications of PA Agriculture's argument against Miller.

"Imagine that. You grow a tomato in your garden and it's not food."

If you live in the area, there is a protest scheduled for February 29 outside the Lancaster County Courthouse, located at 50 North Duke St., Lancaster County, Penn., at 11:30 a.m. to peacefully support Miller in his fight against government tyranny. The hearings in Miller's case begin that same day at 1:30 p.m.

Speakers who are scheduled to appear at the peaceful protest include:

• Sally Fallon Morell, author, publisher and president of the Weston A. Price Foundation
• 
  
• Max Kane, American entrepreneur and food activist who advocates for raw dairy production
• 
  
• Dr. Jack Wolfson, a board-certified cardiologist and best-selling author
• 
  
• Jonathan Emord, renowned constitutional law and litigation expert with 37 years of experience fighting cases against the corrupt U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Attendees of the peaceful protest are encouraged to bring large signs that promote food freedom, the right to buy, sell and consume raw milk and other pro-food freedom messages.

"This is more than just a local Amish farmer being allowed to sell food to his neighbor," tweeted the "Freewill Farmer" (@freewill_farmer) X account.

"This is ground zero for the freedom to choose how your food is produced and who produces it. This is basic freedom, folks. If you wanna stand for something, this is it!"

Numerous supporters of Miller and the food freedom cause at large noted that this dangerous development with PA Agriculture threatens all Americans, who could one day wake up to find out that their home gardens are now "illegal" in the eyes of the state.

"'Liberty' is so infringed upon that it has become non-existent," one of them wrote about the sad state of affairs in America today.

If the government is successful in stamping out all unapproved food operations in the United States, the result would eventually be a food famine. Find out more at FoodCollapse.com.
