Why the Sudden Rash of Food Processing Plant Fires?
by Mark Schwendau
WASHINGTON: Many who know Joe Biden know that every once in a while he says the quiet parts out loud. An example occurred on October 24, 2020, just before the November 3rd General Election with Biden saying: “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization.”

He may have just leaked yet another Deep State Game plan when on March 24th of this year he predicted a global food shortage due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Biden warned in a Brussels News Conference related to a meeting of NATO members:
“We did talk about food shortages. And it’s going to be real. The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia; it’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well.”
He tried to make the point that both Russia and Ukraine are global trading partners in providers of wheat but then must have realized that lie would come back to bite him in the ass so he pointed out that the U.S. and Canada are both major wheat producers, too.
The fact of the matter is, according to Statista.com, the top 10 countries are:
1) European Union
2) China
3) India
4) Russia
5) USA
6) Australia
7) Ukraine
8) Pakistan
9) Canada
10) Argentina
Then, one month later to the date of April 24th, the FBI chimes in on the issue with a new warning. The FBI’s Cyber Division issued a warning about potential cyberattacks on agricultural cooperatives and food processing plants amid increasing media coverage of recent fires and explosions at food plants across the United States.
“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 FBI’s recent notice reads. In their press release, they specifically noted ransomware attacks in 2021 and early 2022 could disrupt the planting season by affecting “the supply of seeds and fertilizer.”
The FBI warns, “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.”
The FBI listed separate incidents since last summer involving ransomware that goes by the names such as HelloKitty/Five Hands, Lock bit 2.0, Conti, BlackMatter, Suncrypt, Sodinokibi, and BlackByte.
This warning comes as an increasing number of events of fires and explosions have been reported at food processing facilities across the country recently featured during a segment on Fox News’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on April 22.

It is to be noted that some are blaming stateside Russian and Ukrainian “thugs” for this string of fires of American food processing plants on American soil but Russia did not invade Ukraine until March February 24th and as the chart above shows, these fires were trending long before then.
Representatives for the FBI and the National Fire Protection Association have yet to respond to requests for comment. But any thinking person can see this is not normal. These plants are clearly being targeted.
Further to this point, a significant portion of them were meat processing plants, not wheat processing plants! Those who know fire science know that grain dust is known to cause flash fires and explosions more so than raw meat has ever been known to start fires.
One can only hope that the FBI can find the time to spare from investigating the Trumps’ while ignoring the Bidens’ so they can find out who is behind these attacks on our food supply! If they can’t resolve the causes and sources of these fires, now would be a good time to close our borders until they can find out if we have enemies within… besides the ones holding office in D.C.
These losses are not measured in millions but rather in billions! You can bet the insurance carriers are going to have something to say about these losses they will have to pay out. Many of these incidents started late at night after workers had gone home for the day but yet Internet fact (fake) checkers claim, “Nothing to see here!”
Meanwhile, celebrity personalities such as Charlie Kirk and Ga. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have chimed in the other way implying these events are much more than a coincidence.

Senile Biden sometimes utters things he heard in conservations.
A statistical analysis would put aside the idea these fires are coincidences.
There are multiple crisis occurring at the same time, whether it be food shortages, burning plants, rising high fuel prices, Ukraine, the China situation, Gun Control, crime….so many issues that conservative leaders can’t focus. People who believe the midterms will help set things back to right better be prepared for a declaration of “emergency powers” helped by the democrat activist attack dog media (vice watchdog of democracy, a lack of clear GOP leadership, and nothing being done about a stolen election. This coupled with the ongoing assault on the Supreme Court heralds the destruction of the Republic. To those who say the 2020 election is in the past, think of having an expensive car stolen. Should the thief be allowed to drive it and keep it several years after the fact? For the democrats, there is no adherence to the rule of law. The conservatives and loyal GOP need to have a critical planning session on how to deal with these issues and the possible upcoming declaration of emergency powers.
The Democrats who shrug at Christian Church fires and attacks against Christians around the world are ignored, they express the same indifference to the destruction of our nation’s food supply. Who needs enemies when Democrats are around?
The fbi and other corrupt federal organizations have not responded because they most likely are the arson perpetrators.
On Thursday there was a small accident at an LNG terminal near Port Arthur Texas. No one was injured but the plant is shut down for at least 2-3 weeks, meaning LNG tankers cannot be loaded with LNG headed to Europe. Futures in Europe jumped 11% in a few hours. Insiders made a lot of money. Do you really think these “accidents” are not planned with hundreds of billions at stake?
Elections have consequences and stolen elections simply mean that we are ruled by an organized criminal conspiracy that is wholly illegitimate and whose every action is null and void. Unfortunately, the FBI investigation is like giving the job to John Gotti. Cual bono?
