The Left hates oil and gas, beef (and chicken, and all meat), and coal. But millions of Americans don’t believe the hysterical Leftist claims that these things are destroying the planet. What to do about these folks? A number of suspicious recent incidents suggest that some people have decided to take matters into their own hands and force compliance with the green agenda by leaving us no other choice.
Belying his “Putin’s price hike” propaganda, Old Joe Biden suggested in late May that skyrocketing gas prices were all part of a plan: “And when it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over.” Meanwhile, an April fire at the port of Benicia, Calif., hampered gasoline production. A natural gas pipeline exploded in Michigan in March.
The ”incredible transition” seems to be taking other forms as well. After a boiler explosion at Shearer’s Foods in Hermiston, Ore., in February, the company laid off its employees. In March, there was a large fire at the Penobscot McCrum potato processing plant in Maine. In April, a private plane crashed into Gem State Processing, a potato processing plant in Idaho. A week later, another private plane crashed into the General Mills plant in Covington, Georgia.
That same month, there was a massive fire at the Taylor Farms food processing plant in Salinas, Calif. Also in April, the Dufur, Ore., headquarters of Azure Standard, a leading organic food distributor, was destroyed by fire, and another fire destroyed the East Conway Beef & Pork Meat Market in Conway, N.H. Early in May, a chicken farm in Jones County, Miss., was destroyed by fire. Saladino’s food processing plant in Fresno, Calif., caught fire around the same time. A Walmart Fulfillment Center in Indiana caught fire in late May. Also in late May, a fire at Forsman Farms in Howard Lake, Minn., killed tens of thousands of chickens. In mid-June, there was a huge fire at the Festive Foods pizza plant in Belmont, Wis.
In Iowa in April, five million chickens were killed after discovery of a single case of avian flu. 22 million chickens have been killed nationwide in an attempt to contain the outbreak. Thousands of cattle died in Kansas in June; their deaths were blamed on the heat, but it was not an unusually hot month, and numerous people with farming experience were skeptical of the official explanation.
There is more. Read the rest here.

I wonder how many of the woke fund managers who own major stakes in these companies are behind this: buying up farms and then creating pretexts on which to shut down these food processing companies, so that there is an artificial shortage? While we bellyache about Ukraine (and no Adam or Eric, I don’t support Russia’s invasion of that country), these people are busy trying to reenact the Holodomor in this country and by extension, worldwide
It wasn’t too long ago that it was said that we were capable of feeding the world. Now you have a food shortage starting that results in our becoming a food importer rather than an exporter

The first three words of Robert Spencer’s article sums things up quite accurately.

Is the Green Agenda Being Forced Upon Us by Accident?
…………………………….
There do seem to be an awful lot of fires and other incidents at food processing plants right now. I don’t know how many of these are accidental. Deeply concerning. There definitely seems to be a leftist agenda to so many of these supposed shortages.
One of the things I’ve always considered odd is the claim that cow farts (methane) are destroying the planet–even though no one says that about almost the same number of bison (buffalo) in the 19th century. And note that I say this as a vegan–just as a person who appreciates rational consistency.
Infidel says
Methane – CH4 – is a fuel. One of the things that composes natural gas. I just don’t see how thatgets to be a greenhouse gas, especially when capturing it and processing it into fuel is that easy: in fact, it used to be used as a fuel in Third world countries for a while
