Setting the Stage? A List of Manufacturing Plants that Have Mysteriously Burned Down Around the World

By ,

Americans are already facing brutal gas prices and runaway inflation, but now food shortages will be added to the pile, as manufacturing plants the world over are mysteriously burning down.

In 2021, Resilinc, a leading global supply chain monitoring and risk management firm that has been tracking disruptions at manufacturing plants for over a decade, was prompted to create a WarRoom to track the sudden uptick of supply chain disruptions.

The company issued 11,642 to alerts notifying its, which include today’s largest multinational organizations, about supply chain disruptions; an 88 percent increase in supply chain disruptions in a single year.

North America experienced the 5,417 supply chain disruptions, more than any other developed nation, followed by Europe which saw 2,838, and Asia, 2,128.

A grim fact remains: more factory fires occurred in 2021 than any other year in recorded history.

Nearly a quarter of the supply chain disruptions globally were attributed to manufacturing plants being set aflame, according to exclusive data compiled from Resilinc’s EventWatch monitoring database.

“Resilinc issued 1,946 Factory Fire alerts in 2021, an increase of 129 percent year-over year,” Resilinc communications director Melissa Gieringert told the Gateway Pundit.

The company attributes the sudden cause of fires to labor shortages caused by the pandemic.

“The uptick is due mostly to gaps in regulatory and process execution as well as shortage of skilled labor in warehouses. Factory fires are contributing to record breaking supply shortages. If a warehouse goes down for a month due to a factory fire the trickle-down effect is huge,” Gieringer said. ” If no one is checking that the fire sprinklers work, or if there are flammable materials – like cardboard – left on the floor because there is not enough staff available to clean up, it can turn into a bad scenario.”

“Take this example: In October 2020  a fire broke out at a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Japan; it took three days to put the fire out and when the dust settled, production lines were estimated to be down a minimum of six months,” she continued. “As a result, procurement teams – from the hi-tech to automotive sectors – were scrambling. The price of some chips went from $5 to $110 in a matter of days and ultimately cost sourcing organizations tens of millions of dollars. A risk assessment survey later revealed that the site did not have anyone checking the automatic sprinkler or fire suppression system. This fire also contributed to the current chip shortage that is significantly impacting carmakers.”

Resilinc has yet to release data showcasing the number of fires at manufacturing plants throughout 2022, but the Gateway Pundit has compiled a list documenting  the number of major fires that have erupted at food industry facilities to date in 2022:

Fact-checkers,  including Reuters and Snopes, insist claims that fires at processing plants are intentionally orchestrated to create supply chain shortages are conspiracy theories.

But the string of fires that continue to damage manufacturing plants across the United States appears to be a deliberate effort to sabotage food processing operations.

While Reslinc correlates the uptick in fires at manufacturing plants to a global workforce shortage, more factories have been mysteriously set aflame in the United States than any other country.

Leaked Text’s Show J6 Committee’s Own “Surprise Witness” Cassidy Hutchinson Called the Committee “BS”

By ,

A report from the Dailly Caller has shown that Cassidy Hutchinson, the J6 Committee’s star witness, once held opinions that stand in stark contrast to those displayed on national television during last week’s surprise hearing.

The Daily Caller report revealed that on February 1st, Hutchinson sent a text seeking help from the First Amendment Fund, a group that was started by the American Conservative Union for the purpose of helping Trump officials cover legal costs related to the politically motivated January 6 investigations.

Hutchinson did not end up receiving any support from the group despite her inquiries.

In the text message, Hutchinson says: “Hey (redacted)! This is Cassidy Hutchinson. Kind of a random question, but do you still work for the Schlapp’s at the ACU?” to which the redacted individual replied, “Hi, Yes!”

Hutchinson then said, “Do you happen to know a First Amendment fund POC I could reach out to? I was subpoenaed in early Nov., but the committee waited to serve me until last week (after Ben’s deposition).”

“I had to accept service because the U.S. Marshalls came to my apartment last Wednesday, but I haven’t made contact with the Committee. I’m just on a tight timeline and just trying to figure out what my options are to deal with this bs,” Hutchinson added.

Hutchinson, who is now the focus of the committee, was a former aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. She released a new statement last week defending her highly-contested testimony.

“Ms. Hutchinson stands by all of the testimony she provided yesterday, under oath, to the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol,” Hutchinson’s counsel Jody Hunt and William Jordan said in a statement on CNN.

Hunt also responded on Twitter to claims that she lied, saying, “Ms. Hutchinson testified, under oath, and recounted what she was told. Those with knowledge of the episode also should testify under oath.”

Vigilant News reported yesterday on at least nine instances of potentially false testimony, these claims have been either refuted or outright debunked.

Among the claims was a statement about an irate Donald Trump apparently grabbing the wheel of the SUV he was riding in and lunging at Secret Service agent Robert “Bobby” Engel when Engel told him that he would not go to the Capitol.

“I’m the f—ing president! Take me up to the Capitol now!” Trump allegedly shouted.

Hutchinson claims that she was told about the incident by Anthony Ornato, the White House’s deputy chief of operations for that day.

Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement that, 

“The Secret Service has been cooperating fully with the select committee since its inception in spring of 2021 and we will continue to do so by responding formally and on the record to the committee regarding new allegations that surfaced in yesterday’s testimony.”

Guglielmi told Politico that the committee did not ask the Secret Service personnel to reappear or answer questions in the ten days before interviewing Hutchinson at the Tuesday hearing.

CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz tweeted Tuesday that a “Secret Service official familiar with the matter told CNN that Tony Ornato denies telling Cassidy Hutchinson that the former president grabbed the steering wheel or an agent on his detail.”

Though most of Hutchinson’s testimony has either been proven false or refuted directly by those involved in the events, the committee’s star witness continues to defend her lies. We will continue to watch the situation and report on any developments in regards to this ongoing story.

Damning Claim: Google Supposedly Intercepted RNC Donation Emails on Biggest Fundraising Days for 7 Months in a Row

By ,

It’s no state secret that Big-Tech is in cahoots with the establishment left, anyone who’s been observing the sociopolitical landscape for the last half-decade can tell you that. Recently, Google may have taken its bias and double standards to new lows.

The Republican National Committee revealed that its email communications are being tactically labeled as “spam” by the Silicon Valley company, according to Axios. By diverting the emails to a spam folder, it remains essentially hidden from the Gmail user among the constant flood of spam emails. 

Google sent RNC emails to the spam inbox with regularity on important fundraising deadlines, according to RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

On most days as much as 90% of emails seem to hit the primary inbox. On critical fundraising days, however, the emails are almost guaranteed to be relegated to the spam folder. 

Could this be a simple, convenient glitch? Or is there something more to this?

Google has blacklisted and purged information that’s inconvenient to the left from search results for years, but this form of censorship is even more nefarious as it has blocked communications between willing parties.

Conservatives and Post-liberals alike have long been critics of Big Tech’s censorship bias, and have even proposed regulating the Silicon Valley giants as common carriers. This would essentially make it illegal for Google to discriminate politically. They’d be obligated to treat every user of their service equally.

McDaniel revealed that the RNC has filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission against Google’s political bias.

It’s All Bogus: How Surprise Witness Cassidy Hutchinson Completely Delegitimized the J6 Committee

By ,

Last Tuesday, Liz Cheney and the J6 Committee brought out their “surprise witness” Cassidy Hutchinson, a former junior staffer for Mark Meadows. 

The democrats and the establishment media billed this spectacle as an “explosive development”, which DID prove to be true, just not in the way that they had planned.

The grim union of the modern Democratic Party, the FBI, Big Tech, and the mainstream media have bent over backward to not only punish Donald Trump and his colleagues but to continue building on a year-and-a-half-long smear campaign meant to hurt the former President’s chances at a 2024 bid. 

Despite the efforts of these powerful, amalgamated interests, the January 6th Committee hearings have tanked in viewership and engagement. The hope was clearly to make this a big televised event, as they brought on Ex-ABC News exec James Goldston, the very same exec who squashed the Epstein story.

The Committee hearings, and everyone attached to them, were dealt a grievous credibility blow when they brought out surprise witness Cassidy Hutchinson on Tuesday morning. The young woman sat for testimony and proceeded to tell several lies while under oath before the committee.

Gateway Pundit put together a damning list of the false statements mentioned during Hutchinson’s testimony as well as the purported “truth” of each statement.

 

As per The Gateway Pundit: 

1.) Cassidy Hutchinson said President Trump attempted to grab the steering wheel of “the beast” and wrestle control from the Secret Service on January 6th.

Truth: President Trump was not in “the beast” on January 6th.

Truth: Secret Service agents willing to testify against this ridiculous lie by young Cassidy. It never happened.

2.) Cassiday Hutchinson said President Trump grabbed the neck area of Secret Service agent Bobby Engel.

Truth: Bobby Engel willing to testify this was a lie.

3.) Cassidy Hutchinson said President Trump broke dishes and flipped tablecloths on January 6th.

Truth: President Trump refutes the nonsensical claim.

4.) Cassidy Hutchinson claimed to have written a handwritten note on January 6th.

Truth: Former White House lawyer Eric Herschmann wrote the note and testified to this fact under oath previously before the committee.

5.) Cassidy Hutchinson said her boss Mark Meadows called Roger Stone on January 5th to find out what would play out the next day on January 6th.

Truth: Roger Stone has never spoken to Mark Meadows outside of a conversation they held in a green room in 2019.

6.) Cassidy Hutchinson said Mark Meadows spoke with General Flynn on January 5th.

Truth: General Flynn has never had a phone conversation with Mark Meadows.

7.) Cassidy Hutchinson said General Flynn and Roger Stone participated by phone in a briefing in the war room in the Willard Hotel with Mark Meadows on January 5th.

Truth: Did not happen. Stone and Flynn have not spoken with Meadows on the phone, ever.

8.) Cassidy Hutchinson said Jeffrey Clark met with Rudy Giuliani and Trump campaign at White House.

Truth: This is false. They’ve never met or communicated.

9.) Cassidy Hutchinson testified that Trump’s White House counsel Pat Cipollone was at the White House on the morning of January 6, 2021.

Truth: Pat Cipollone was NOT at the White House on January 6.

Of course, Legacy Media is refusing to report on any of these glaring discrepancies, instead choosing to run with Hutchinson’s uncorroborated testimony as if it were cold hard fact. 

FED Dolling Out $250 Million PER DAY in Interest Payments to Unknown Beneficiaries as Economic End-Times Approach

By ,

The current global, socioeconomic paradigm has allowed for a small group of mostly unidentified beneficiaries to reap hundreds of millions of dollars per day by way of interest payments. This cushy racket was all made possible by the Federal Reserves’ reverse repo program.

The impending collapse of the financial system as we know it looms on the horizon while those in a position to do so feed the crisis (and themselves) through endless money laundering schemes. 

Whether it’s the war in Ukraine, Executive orders, experimental vaccines, the push for Solar panels and electric vehicles… there are few things being heavily marketed to the world today that weren’t designed to reap maximum profits for the financial elite in Davos Switzerland and the Washington DC political establishment.

In fact, Peter Schweitzer wrote a phenomenal book about how all of this works back in 2011 called Throw Them All Out, a highly recommended read for our audience.

In response to the record inflation, caused either by the reckless or intentionally destructive spending of the Biden Administration, the FED decided to raise interest rates by 75 basis points last month – the largest increase since 1994 – in an effort to slow the Bidenflation tidal wave.

To the surprise of no one, there’s been virtually no improvement to the economy since this change. Quite the contrary, as inflation continues to trend in the wrong direction since the FEDs rate raise. Not only that, but the FED revised its quarterly projections to show negative GDP growth will be expected for the second quarter in a row, essentially proclaiming that a recession isn’t on the horizon, it’s already here.

When faced with the hard decision to either help ease the economy back on track or raise interest rates to make the already skyrocketing inflation markedly worse, the FED chose the latter. This change quietly paved the way for a small group of mostly unidentified beneficiaries to start collecting hundreds of millions of dollars per day by way of interest payments, this is thanks to the Federal Reserve reverse repo program.

The program has seen a record 2.330 trillion in cash holdings, and interest payouts have ballooned since the aforementioned FED rate hike, totaling over 100 million per day. The 108 depositors, who hold assets in the fund, are the recipients of these absurd payouts.

As per Zerohedge:

there is a record $2.33 trillion in cash parked at the Fed’s overnight facility, doing nothing…

…Well not nothing: it was nothing when rates were zero, but at 1.55% which is the current reverse repo rate, that $2.33 trillion is a golden goose for the 108 counterparties that are parking cash at the facility, a mixture of money market funds, banks, GSEs and various other financial intermediaries.

How big is this particular Golden Goose? The chart below shows the payment in interest that the Fed makes day on this record $2.33 trillion in funds: as of today it amounts to just over $100 million every single day! That’s right, more than $100 million in interest payments on funds parked with the Fed, which is by definition the world’s only risk-free counterparty!

As ZeroHedge points out, the interest profits are only due to the FED’s past reckless spending.

Also from ZeroHedge:

“All of the above is with the Fed Funds rate at 1.75%. As a reminder, the Fed hopes to keep hiking at least another 175bps (or more) in the next 6 months, which will push the rate to 3.50% and will mean that the Fed will be paying half a billion in interest every single day to a handful of mostly unknown counterparties every day, money which for said counterparties is also known as (riskless) profit and which is only the result of the Fed’s previous money printing.”
