Manufacturing Plants Continue to Burn Down in Mysterious Fires

Manufacturing and food processing plants are continuing to burn down in mysterious fires as Americans battle soaring everyday costs amid widespread shortages.

This from slaynews.com.

Note: The destruction of manufacturing plants is not limited to the United States. Ihe crisis is disrupting supply chains around the world.

A leading global supply chain monitoring-and-risk-management firm has been tracking disruptions at manufacturing plants for over a decade.

In 2021, Resilinc was prompted to create a war room to track the sudden spike in supply chain disruptions and alert its clients, which include today’s largest multinational organizations.

The company has since issued 11,642 alerts notifying its clients about supply chain disruptions.

Resilinc warns that it has detected an 88 percent increase in supply chain disruptions in a single year.

North America experienced the most supply chain disruptions with 5,417—more than any other developed nation.

The second was Europe which saw 2,838, followed by Asia with 2,128.

The data reveals that manufacturing plants aren’t only being destroyed in the United States.

The destructive fires that are impacting food factories across the United States have also become commonplace around the world.

In 2021, more factories were burned down in fires than any 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 reports:

Among the countries that saw the highest number of factory fire alerts [in 2021] were the United States (425), India (159), Germany (122), South Korea (117), Mexico (97), the United Kingdom (78) and Japan (72).

Resilinc has yet to release data showcasing the number of fires at manufacturing plants throughout 2022.

According to the FBI’s Cyber Division, cyber-attack threats on agricultural cooperatives are also an imminent threat.

The bureau warned in an April memo:

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.

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.

Well, enough of the ‘coulds’ and ‘woulds’ of this obvious crisis.

Time for “the bureau” to get this problem of apparent arson solved.

Is this something the FBI concerns themselves with any more?
