[WisFarmer] Chicken farms blowing, Chicken plants' shutdown due to EPA/CDC issues, Fish processing plants burning down, herds of cattle poisoned or mysteriously killed in the fields and left to rot.
Now 18,000 dairy cows in 1 building die.The odds of all these happening "accidentally" happening in such a short timeframe, infinitesimal.
Are we looking at a some new Radical Anti-____ type group, or an organized supply cover?
Keep in mind that agriculture (crop, herd, and flock) has been steadily necking down for decades as family farms go away and are replaced by a smaller number of commercial operations. As that number continues to narrow down, individual failures/accidents/incidents will have a greater impact.
Can't completely rule out Evil Intent(TM), but Hanlon's Razor might get a vote too.

"...fire from the explosion spread to the building, a large cross-ventilated barn where they herd cattle into a holding pen before bringing them into the milking area."
"The South Fork Dairy is owned by the Frank Brand family and has been in operation for less than a year and employs around 60 people."
New facility, new workers and it sounds like the powerful ventilation system spread the fire. Tragic but sounds like one of those 'SS Titanic is unsinkable!™' events that happen from time to time.
High particulate environment. If the ventilation didn't shut down then yeah, like a grain elevator event.
In operation for a year. This would be a Covid era project. Before I get rotten lettuce thrown at me, check out the failure rate of appliances the last couple years. Its also likely the designers thought of everything for the cow's comfort, and forgot the cow's safety.
Obviously a building that size, with this population, in Texas must have a tremendous ventilation system to protect against the heat and have good air to breathe; still trying to wrap my head around what looks like, by the plume, a rather rapid combustion event.
Many could have succumbed to smoke. The quiet part, dear reader, is perhaps many of the deaths started as mortally wounded and needed to be eased, if you will.
Using the vehicles next to the buildingas a scale ref. Hell that building must close to a 1/2 mile wide, and close to 1 mile long. They must use cow patty gas to power the HVAC.

And speaking of wacky theories (missed AJ again, dammit)...
Die Kühe he knew had been pettable
And even at times somewhat edible,
But even if not,
He should surely have thought
Such events would be quite unforgettable.
I mean, steel buildings burning? And on such a scale, out in the middle of nowhere? Utterly incredible!
[RedState] Florida lawmakers are poised to pass a measure that would permit the death penalty for pedophiles who sexually assault children under 12 years old, a move that will likely trigger legal challenges and questions about its constitutionality.
The House will consider its version of the bill (HB 1297) on Thursday, while the Senate version (SB 1342) was cleared by the Rules Committee on Tuesday, paving the way for it to be presented to the full Senate.
The proposed legislation goes against decades of U.S. Supreme Court and Florida Supreme Court rulings that have prohibited the execution of defendants in rape and sexual abuse cases. According to a Senate staff analysis, the last time someone was put to death for a non-murder offense in the United States was in 1964.
In a rebuke of legal precedent, the House and Senate bills argue that a 1981 Florida Supreme Court case and a 2008 U.S. Supreme Court case were "wrongly decided," with the Senate version declaring said cases represent an "egregious infringement of the states’ power to punish the most heinous of crimes."
Jonathan Martin, a former prosecutor turned Republican state senator who is sponsoring the bill, said the legislation would allow for "constitutional boundaries by providing a sentencing procedure for those heinous crimes."
"If an individual rapes an 11-year-old, a 10-year-old, a 2-year-old or a 5-year-old, they should be subject to the death penalty," Martin said Tuesday after the Rules Committee approved the bill.
The legislation inevitably has drawn criticism, with Aaron Wyat of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers pointing out that although people want "vengeance" against pedophiles, the death penalty would represent an overturning of decades of legal precedent.

In bodycam footage from an officer at the scene, Mr Cotter said: 'I told her she needed to back up or leave. She started charging at me.
'I came all the way back into my office, into an enclosed space, and I hit her in the face. I have it all on video.'
After being asked if she is OK by the officer, Ms Ivery replied: 'Physically I am OK. Emotionally I am very, very angry.'
After being told to stop talking by an officer, she said: 'Do you know who I am? Clearly you don't know who I am.'
Later in the bodycam video, when she is asked by an officer about the incident, she said: 'I was asking the cashier to 'reach out to her manager so we could have a larger conversation about how money works, and how provision works, and how it's been working in our community in a very wrong way.'
'This is my Rosa Parks moment,' she added.
A police report from the incident said: 'After watching the video footage we determined that Ivery was the aggressor'.

This Racist Reparation nonsense needs to stop.
The Liberal's, Socialists, and Democrats (LSD's) have used this phony gimmick on Blacks for their voters for too many years.
Seriously, it has been over 150 years since slavery ended, and it has been 3+ generations since Jim Crow ended. Massive amounts ($$ Billions) in taxpayer funds have already been dumped in to Welfare, project housing, food stamps, 8a housing, and more.
There are several good articles on the "Fallacies of Reparations" read up.

The reparations movement is a natural extension of Affirmative Action. Our wealthy oligarchs will side with reparation advocates from their villa balconies in Interlaken, SZ.

Personally, I'd have just laughed my ass off and sent her to the aisle that sells Baby Tears. OK, so Mr. Guard probably got more satisfaction, at least until some woke DA charges him with attempted murder and malicious mopery.
#17
#5 Yep, and it's spreading. Now, factor in Newsom running for Preezy. The debate taking place isn't "should" reparations occur, it's "how much". The conclusion is already established. But again I must repeat, it's not whether reparations are ever instituted - the tribe in question has received the message and are now in full expectation of receiving said funds. Imagine the fesitivities when said funds never materialize.

[MSN] volcano erupted early Tuesday on Russia's far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, spewing clouds of dust more than 12 miles into the sky and covering broad areas with ash.
Ash fell on 41,699 square miles of territory, according to the regional branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Geophysical Survey. Scientists described the fallout as the biggest in nearly 60 years. too early to estimate effects on weather, pollution levels, sunset enhancement, ozone - depends on how much ash made it into the stratosphere

...Remember what MT Pinatubo did to Clark AB in the Philippines in the early 90s.
Right after the USAF declared as a matter of policy that nothing short of a nuclear weapon could completely incapacitate a modern base, we lost three in a row (two to hurricane, one to volcano.) And just recently, Tyndall AFB FL was just about leveled from a hurricane and Offutt AFB NE was knocked out for more than a year by flooding.
#US intelligence analysts believe a recent military parade in #NorthKorea “probably oversells” the threat its inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) pose to the United States, according to a leaked document purportedly from the US government.https://t.co/Yi1Miy6R8b
[The Blaze] Researchers have traced a major leak of U.S. classified documents about the war between Ukraine and Russia to a gamer-centric chat app called Discord, Bellingcat and the Associated Press reported.
"We don't know. We truly don't know," National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby told reporters Monday on whether the leaks present an ongoing threat.
Kirby said the the Department of Defense has referred the matter to the Department of Justice for a criminal investigation. He added that President Biden was briefed late last week on the leaks and had stayed in contact with national security officials over the weekend.
Thursday, the New York Times reported on the documents appearing on Twitter and Telegram.
Researchers from Bellingcat, however, have traced the origin of the leak farther back in time and to a different app called Discord, where documents circulated as early as January 13.
Discord is a chat app popular with gamers but is used by a wide variety of other communities, like bird watchers, fans of television shows, and even college professors holding classes. The platform offers chat, voice, and video channels.
Aric Toler, Director of Training and Research at Bellingcat, traced ten documents with "Top Secret" markings about Ukraine to a Discord server called "Minecraft Earth Map" posted March 4. He says that leak was spurred by a spat between users, one of whom attached the bevy of documents, apparently to win an argument.
Somebody with access to some very secret documents. Digitized, of course. Got into an argument about Minecraft Earth, and rage dumped said documents to win an online argument.

[Real Clear Wire] You may not know it if you rely solely on American media, but there is a growing revolt across much of Europe against Net Zero mandates in general and electric vehicle mandates in particular.
It seems that, led by luxury carmakers, the future may be bright for the venerable internal combustion engine if new synthetic fuels technologies can produce an affordable replacement for gasoline and diesel fuels.
The revolt had been brewing ever since Europe got a wakeup call with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that upset the Net Zero applecart and led even Germany to reopen coal-fired power plants. Still, the EU last November had struck a provisional deal on a new vehicle emissions law that would have banned the sale of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2035.
Two months later, though, the new Meloni government in Italy began to raise objections. The forced transition to EVs has already hit the Italian auto industry with job cuts, leading Transport Minister Matteo Salvini to argue that it makes no sense to put thousands of jobs at risk when there are plenty of reasons to keep ICE vehicles on the road with a carbon-neutral fuel.
Italy’s balking opened the door for German Finance Minister Christian Lindner to switch his government’s position to demand an exception for hydrogen-derived, carbon-neutral synthetic e-fuels (produced by electrolysis with added carbon) that can power ICE vehicles. Porsche, which has invested $75 million in a pilot plant to make e-fuels, and Ferrari could preserve their rich heritage and iconic models and still comply with zero-emissions requirements with e-fuels.

While at my age I could care less what will happen in 10 years. Official Oil Industry data currently puts all "known" oil reserves, at rate "current" use, around 41 years. But as many 3rd & 4th world nations are quickly grow up, the use of oil will only dramatically increase and that 41 will be quickly reduced.
So the Playstation/Xbox generation better be looking into realistic viable alternative energy sources now.
Because, when everything involved from mining to producing an EV and its hazmat disposal is taken into account. An EV actual has a worse final carbon footprint than Gas
#2
But even as demand increases, there has been in recent years a burst of new reserves found and being exploited — early trend leaders being Israel (!), Egypt (!!), and Cyprus (!!!), but others even more unexpected and far flung are being reported. This will matter to my children and grandchildren, even when I am no longer paying attention.
[ET Via Zero] A 22-year-old Army National Guard member has suffered an array of health issues—including two heart attacks that pushed her to the brink of death—after receiving two doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
Karolina Stancik once considered herself "very healthy," playing multiple sports from adolescence through early adulthood. At 21 years old, she chose to serve the country by joining the U.S. Army in February 2021.
"We were told that it was going to be required and we should take it before we shipped out to basic training," she said, which was before Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s August 2021 announcement of the military vaccine mandate.
This messaging, according to Stancik, made the new recruits feel like, "You’re a bad person if you don’t get the vaccine, and you don’t care about the people around you."
"As a young, new soldier, I and a lot of others around me, did what we were told," Stancik said.
"We were too new to know all the rules and possible loopholes," she added. "I pretty much blindly took it because I didn’t know you could get exemptions" for medical or religious reasons.
Stancik ended up taking the Moderna vaccine in March and April 2021; since then, "life has been an uphill battle," she said.
First, came the breathing issues.
"I was dealing with what doctors considered asthma at the time without a diagnosis, and I had never had any lung issues at any other point in my life," she said.

I went to the dermatologist for a follow-up exam today. I was asked to fill out a form as to whether I had COVID symptoms or had been around anyone with COVID. I said no to have I around anyone with symptoms. How would a person know? I was also asked if I had a flu shot in 2021-2022, I said I wasn't certain, I'd have to check. After 3 COVID shots and hearing that the COVID shots don't really work and reading many horror stories such as this one, I'm leary about getting any kind of shots pushed by the government.
[Epoch Times] A systematic review of 2,168 studies that looked into the adverse effects of wearing masks during the COVID-19 pandemic has found that the practice led to negative health consequences, including itching, headaches, and restriction of oxygen.
"Masks interfered with O2-uptake and CO2-release and compromised respiratory compensation," the review states. "Though evaluated wearing durations are shorter than daily/prolonged use, outcomes independently validate mask-induced exhaustion-syndrome (MIES) and down-stream physio-metabolic disfunctions. MIES can have long-term clinical consequences, especially for vulnerable groups."
The restriction of oxygen uptake and hindrance in carbon-di-oxide release was identified as more significant among users of N95 masks. Continuous rebreathing of carbon dioxide results in the "right-shift of hemoglobin-O2 saturation curve."
"Since O2 and CO2 homeostasis influences diverse down-stream metabolic processes, corresponding changes toward clinically concerning directions may lead to unfavorable consequences such as transient hypoxemia and hypercarbia, increased breath humidity, and body temperature along with compromised physiological compensations," the review states.
The review also said that several mask-related symptoms may have been misinterpreted as symptoms of long COVID. Now THAT'S intriguing!
It suggested that the side effects of face masks be assessed based on risk-benefit analysis after taking into consideration their effectiveness against viral transmissions. If "strong empirical evidence" showing the effectiveness of masks is absent, the study recommended that wearing masks should not be mandated, "let alone enforced by law."
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, existing data on respiratory viruses had shown that there was no basis for wearing masks to prevent their spread. "All the studies done in the world until 2020 showed that there is no justification for this," Yoav Yehezkelli, a specialist in internal medicine and a lieutenant colonel in the Israel Defense Forces, said in an interview with The Epoch Times in January.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as the WHO issued guidelines that there was no need for wearing masks in the general public, he pointed out.
But in 2020 following the COVID-19 outbreak, recommendations on mask-wearing around the world suddenly changed "without having any new professional support to confirm that it does indeed have effectiveness against respiratory infection." I still see people riding bicycles through the subdivision, wearing a surgical mask.
