Is JBS Hack a Russian Ransomeware Attack, or Something More?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 4 Comments

When the news broke yesterday that the meat giant JBS (sometimes known by its previous name Swift) had been hit with a ransomeware attack that shut down meat processing in one of the largest meat processors in the world, my first thought was that if they have financial trouble I don’t care.

For over a decade I have reported, at my other blog Refugee Resettlement Watch, how Big Meat and Big Poultry are changing America’s heartland by being one of the largest drivers of the US Refugee Resettlement Program.

The work is dirty, wages low and turnover high so they need a never-ending supply of migrant laborers of all stripes including large numbers of Somali ‘refugees.’

This is a photo I took of JBS US headquarters in Greeley, CO when I drove around the country in 2016 to see how refugee resettlement was changing the character of American towns.  President Trump shocked JBS, Cargill, Tyson Foods and others when he slowed the flow of refugees to the US.  See many posts on the topic at RRW.  https://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/?s=JBS+Trump

 

Think about it!  A Brazilian-owned company is changing the demographic make-up of the United States!  And, when you buy their meat, you support changing America by changing the people.

And if that isn’t bad enough, since wages are so low, you also fund the social safety net that refugee workers are permitted to tap into.

Did you know that Smithfield Foods is owned by the Chinese?

Is that meat you enjoy worth it?  If you can’t live without beef, pork and chicken, I recommend finding a local source!

 

 

Here is the superficial story about what is going on, from Yahoo News:

JBS: Cyber-attack hits world’s largest meat supplier

 

The world’s largest meat processing company has been targeted by a sophisticated cyber-attack.

Computer networks at JBS were hacked, temporarily shutting down some operations in Australia, Canada and the US, with thousands of workers affected.

The company believes the ransomware attack originated from a criminal group likely based in Russia, the White House said.

The attack could lead to shortages of meat or raise prices for consumers.

~JBS is the world’s largest meat supplier with more than 150 plants in 15 countries

~It was founded in Brazil in 1953 as a slaughtering business by rancher José Batista Sobrinho

~The company now has more than 150,000 employees worldwide

~Its customers include supermarkets and fast food outlet McDonald’s

~In the US, JBS processes nearly one quarter of the country’s beef and one-fifth of its pork

[….]

JBS’s five biggest beef plants are in the US, and the shutdowns have halted a fifth of meat production there, according to Bloomberg.

[….]

Last month, fuel delivery in the south east of the US was crippled for several days after a ransomware attack targeted the Colonial Pipeline. Investigators say that attack was also linked to a group with ties to Russia.

Colonial Pipeline has confirmed it paid a $4.4m (£3.1m) ransom to the cyber-criminal gang responsible.

So that is the story for mainstream media consumption—Russian bad boys, just being bad boys—but is something else happening?

Knowing of my interest in meatpacking and  my interest in being prepared (or attempting to being better prepared!), Leo Hohmann directed me to this discussion yesterday at Ice Age Farmer.

It was just posted yesterday and is up to 37,000 views already:

Cyberpandemic Meets Food Supply

Watch it and consider the possibilities presented.  You shouldn’t be surprised as we have just experienced the Chinese Virus ‘crisis’ and how globalists have used it to disrupt the entire globe.

Is the food supply next?

Leo Hohmann: How They are Sneaking Health Passports in Through Back Doors

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 1 Comment

Our friend Leo Hohmann, who has been investigating and reporting steadily for months about the connection between the Chinese virus, The Shot, and more globalist control of society, tells us to fight back.

If you love this country and the freedom and liberty that has been our birthright, and even if you have been ‘vaccinated,’ do not take the easy way out and ever give your vaccination status as a price of entry to anyone for any reason. Your health decision choices are still yours and yours alone.

Coincidentally, as I read Hohmann’s latest, Gateway Pundit tells us that the state of Oregon is already dropping the hammer.

IT BEGINS: Fully Vaccinated People in Oregon Must Show Proof of Vaccination Status in Order to Enter Businesses Without a Mask

 

Oregon has gone from a liberal hell hole to 1930s Germany overnight.

The Oregon Health Authority is now requiring businesses and religious institutions to enforce mask mandates by forcing people to show proof of vaccination.

Don’t patronize any business, or even your church, if demands are made for this outrageous price of entry.

Here is Hohmann:

It’s D-Day in the battle against globalized digital health passports that will mark you for life

 

The worst nightmare for patriots and freedom lovers throughout the world may be about to come true.

The push is on to sneak health passports into America and other Western democracies through back-door channels.

Big corporations and universities are testing the waters to find out how many Americans will accept this latest intrusion as an unavoidable part of life in the “new normal.”

They have baited the trap, promising this will be your ticket to reclaiming your former freedoms. All you have to do is submit to this little app on your phone that informs businesses whether you’ve been vaxxed or not. How many will walk into that trap, surrendering their health privacy and eventually all of their personally identifiable information, remains to be seen.

We have a very short window in which to stand and reject this attempt by big business, in collusion with big government, to impose the most invasive, intrusive and coercive measures ever seen on people of the free world since the conclusion of World War II and the Nuremburg trials.

[….]

Biden threatened unvaccinated Americans in a speech this week, saying they “will pay the price.”

Biden says the “rule is simple.” Get the shot, or continue to wear the mask.

News flash: This is America. We don’t get up in the morning and check in with you, Mr. Biden, or any other government official, to get our “rules” for the day. That’s just not the way a constitutional republic works.

But if we accept this new normal and submit to health passports, then we have in essence given up on America and its time-honored, bedrock principle that has made this country special, the idea that individual freedom takes precedence over collectivism, which always leads to tyranny. We have taken that grand idea and thrown it in a pile of excrement. We have spit on the Constitution and said we no longer want it to serve as the highest law in the land.

We have conceded to globalist tyranny coming down from the World Health Organization, a United Nations agency funded by Bill Gates and dominated by the Chinese Communist Party.

Much more here.

By the way, on immigration issues how often have we been derided for furthering division by promoting the concept of ‘otherness’ which the Leftists say is bad, very bad, and yet here they are creating further division in America using The Shot to create otherness.

Dallas,Texas: Do Little White Boys Lives Matter?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 5 Comments

***Update***  The UK Daily Mail has a lengthy story with photos and clips from the chilling video.

I guess we will see if Cash Gernon’s life mattered.

We will know the answer if this story lasts for longer than a day or two more.

The horror reminded me of the murder of Cannon Hinnant last summer.

Is Cannon Hinnant Less Valuable than George Floyd?

 

From the New York Post:

Teen busted for allegedly kidnapping sleeping boy later found dead on Texas street

A teen suspect has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a Dallas home and kidnapping a sleeping 4- year-old boy who was later found dead on a street, authorities said Monday.

The child, who suffered multiple fatal wounds from what police say was an “edged weapon,” was identified Sunday by his grieving guardian as Cash Gernon, WFAA reported.

The “happy-go-lucky” boy was sleeping when a suspect, identified by cops as 18-year-old Darriynn Brown, barged into his home through a back door and kidnapped him on Saturday, his guardian said.

A home security camera shows the minute 4-year-old Cash was taken from his room. Darrilynn Brown has been charged with kidnapping (so far).

 

Brown is now charged with kidnapping and theft in connection to Cash’s death. He is being held on $750,000 bail, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Brown was busted for evading arrest in late April and the case is still pending, the newspaper reported. Court documents show he lived with his parents just a half-mile from where the boy’s body was found.

An initial WFAA report the accused kidnapper was wearing an ankle monitor at the time of the abduction is inaccurate, according to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office.

The boy’s grieving mom said she had no idea what allegedly led Brown to target her son, whose body was later discovered in the street by a jogger early Saturday. The teen suspect did not know Cash, his guardian told the station off-camera.

Surveillance video also captured the kidnapping, the guardian added. Investigators asked neighbors Sunday for any additional footage to help them piece together what happened, WFAA reported. Some nearby residents told the station Brown was regularly seen in the city’s Mountain Creek section.

More here.

I have a lot of questions, and I guess you do too.  How is that no adults in the house heard anything?  Was the house unlocked?  They seemed to have enough sense to have a home security system of some sort, so again how does someone walk out of a home carrying a small child and no one notices.

Could this killing be some sort of gang initiation?

Whether you have young children in the home or not—be sure you lock your doors and have a home security system, a dog maybe and a firearm.  Life is not going back to the ’50s and ’60s—a time some of us can remember with some longing for that simpler time.

Spread this story far and wide (the corporate media won’t likely do that), if for no other reason than to make people more aware of the dangers facing us in the age of BLM supremacists.

Montgomery County Maryland Plans to ‘Welcome’ up to 3,000 Unaccompanied Alien Children This Year

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 4 Comments

But, they are not alone and likely some of the other top ‘welcoming’ counties in America will see numbers higher than that.

How many UACs is your county getting? https://www.breitbart.com/border/2019/01/12/dhs-two-ny-ms-13-stabbing-suspects-exploited-unaccompanied-minor-loophole-to-enter-u-s/

See the data maintained by the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement and note that MoCo, although among the highest counties that will absorb the illegal alien teens, is not the highest.

And, by the way, the data at ORR is only through March and you know the April 2021 invasion is surely one of the largest in many years.

If you don’t see your county, it doesn’t mean your state is off the hook, state data is here.

‘Non-profit’ organizations in the county are scrambling for money they say they need to keep the mostly teenaged boys out of gangs.  

What a mess.  If you live in this wealthy Maryland County that borders Washington, DC, move!  But, first get your kids out of the school system which will see the disastrous impact of Biden’s Open Borders policy first.

LOL! the Biden gang has put out the word that Unaccompanied Alien Children, a title used for years, is now verboten and we must refer to the illegal aliens as Unaccompanied Minors.  So therefore, my message to you is to keep using the accurate term—Unaccompanied Alien Children.

From WUSA9:

As Montgomery County expects wave of unaccompanied minors, local nonprofit works to expand capacity

There have been at least 104 undocumented migrant children resettled with family or sponsors in Montgomery County since October, according to the Office of Refugee Resettlement. However, the latest data is from February which likely means many more children have already relocated to the county.

As of late April, Montgomery County Public Schools recorded 70 students are believed to be unaccompanied minors. Officials expect 3,000 undocumented children to reach the county by this year or as early as summer.

The federal data base shows that Montgomery County received 178 UACs through the end of March, so if 70 registered for school, where are the other 108?  And, why is the database not up to date?

The Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services (MCHHS) is partnered with eight organizations: Identity, Inc., Family Services, Inc., CASA, Mary’s Center, Impact Silver Spring, Catholic Charities, LAYC (Latin American Youth Council) and Ayuda.

About eight or so years ago, I posted often about CASA, see here if you are interested.

The county had planned to call FEMA and the Office of Refugee Resettlement for federal funding since it’s one of the top 10 receiving sites for asylum-seeking children.

“The call took place but there were no commitments from FEMA about funding,” a MCHHS spokesperson said.

One of the major concerns to avoid is the involvement of gangs.

Community leaders know gangs are preparing themselves to recruit many of the young people as members offer what could seem like a family environment.

[….]

A Montgomery County police spokesperson said the department is working with the Department of Health and Human Services to address gang preventative measures for all undocumented minors.

[….]

In Virginia, there have been 119 resettlements in Fairfax County.

The sponsors who help happen at the federal level. The Office of Refugee Resettlement works with organizations such as Bethany Christian Services & Lutheran Immigration & Refugee Services on sponsoring children. These organizations previously are certified and licensed at the federal level.

Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, headquartered at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, is a federal refugee contractor which I write about often at RRW.  The UACs, however, are NOT refugees, remember that!

Two Major Refugee Contractors Receive Millions to Move Illegal Aliens from the Border to Interior US

$55 million is their take (of your money) for the children! over the last twelve months.

 

P.S. Maryland Republican Governor Hogan is apparently not saying a word about the ‘children’ flooding into the state for taxpayers to support. Twenty other governors are saying NO, even as the federal government ignores them.

Is Susan Rice Running the White House?

~ Ann Corcoran ~ 3 Comments

That is what President Trump’s former Ambassador to Germany and former Acting Director of National Intelligence is saying, and I think he is onto something.

Richard Grenell is in a position to know…..

 

If you are thinking it is Kamala Harris, give Grenell’s assertions some thought.

You may recall that Harris and Rice were both under consideration to join Joe on the ticket as Veep mainly because both are black women, and in the age of BLM, Joe was throwing a bone to an increasingly doubting black voter base.

The problem for Rice was that she is best known for her massive lying spree about what happened in Benghazi and no one on the Democrat team wanted that nightmare revisited.

Here is Grenell at Fox News:

Grenell calls Susan Rice the ‘shadow president’ and ‘no one is paying attention’

Richard Grenell, the former acting director of National Intelligence under President Trump, said in an interview with CPAC that he believes Susan Rice has assumed the role of a “shadow president.”

Rice, who served as national security adviser under President Obama, was tapped last December by President Biden to take charge of the White House Domestic Policy Council. It is in that role that Grenell believes she is exerting her influence.

Keep reading.

I don’t have time for even a cursory analysis of Rice’s history, but I wrote about her often over the years at RRW because it was she, Samantha Power and Hillary, the “Vulcans”, who were responsible for the destruction of Libya which in turn resulted in Libya becoming the major African launch pad for the illegal migrant invasion of Europe.

Daniel Greenfield writing at Frontpage in May of 2020 did a thorough job of describing Rice’s character and career.

How Susan Rice’s Role in the Rwandan Genocide Predicted Obamagate

A woman who can turn her back on genocide would hardly blink at spying on Republicans.

A woman capable of seeing the murder of hundreds of thousands of people [referring to her screw-up on the Clinton-era Rwandan Genocide.—ed] only in terms of an election campaign was a bridge too far even for a party of traitors and appeasers who still believed in something.

But Rice, an abrasive political operative and intellectual lightweight, understood that her only career path was a willingness to find a boss and do anything for him. No questions asked. That’s why Rice ended up as the point woman on Obamagate and why she went out to lie about Benghazi.

As Dowd wrote damningly, Rice had rented her soul, “on the talk shows one Sunday in September.” The New York Times columnist was referring to Rice’s tour of talk shows where she falsely claimed that the Benghazi attack had really been a protest in response to a YouTube video, and that it was spontaneous, rather than a planned attack, all of which contradicted the intelligence and local information.

Read it and keep it.

Just a reminder…

Here is the woman supposedly now, according to Grenell, running the White House because Joe, frankly, isn’t all there.

That is all I have time for, just wanted to put this on your radar screens to watch going forward.

P.S. Rice made some news in March when it was learned that she was “burning sage” in her White House office to purge the evil spirits supposedly left behind by Trump advisor Stephen Miller.  Prayers for America with ‘leaders’ like Rice.
