The US could be hit with beef shortages and price rises after the world's largest meat producer was forced to close all of its plants due to a cyber attack which the White House has blamed on Russian hackers. JBS - which supplies 20 per cent of all beef and pork in the US - warned the Memorial Day weekend hack could disrupt its supply chains and increase prices up up to 30 per cent.JBS received a demand from 'a criminal organization likely based in Russia' following the attack that has affected its operations in Australia and North America, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.

It seems to be forgotten that animals were slaughtered and sent to market for millennia prior to the introduction of computers. It astonishes me how people will sit around or be sent home when the computers are down. I believe we must not have the best and brightest technological experts if this sort of nonsense keeps happening.

A real president would find a quick solution to this problem. Instead we have a putrid little man in the White House who goes to bed before sunset, doesn't work on the weekends and is told by unidentified superiors what to do. Now just imagine what will happen when this country is hit with a far more serious crisis.

It's much for likely that U.S. cyberattackers did this. Leftists, progressives, intelligence agencies, they all have motive to want to destroy our traditions, raise prices and inhibit us from eating meat. I doubt the russians even care. It's always the fault of the russians, until we learn that it was someone who was supposed to be working for us.

Excellent point #1, for some reason I never thought of it before. We have gotten to the point where we almost cannot function at ALL without the internet or computers. I graduated from college in 1996 on the leading edge of the computer revolution. The internet was not "essential" and we still used paper, but computer aided design (engineering) was becoming essential. Can't compete without it. I would suggest having your systems available offline.

Panic Buying by selfish, scared, useful idiots starting today at a local supermarket near you. Don't think for a minute that these cyber attacks on vital supply chains in this country are not fully backed by the Russian Government headed by Putin and by the Chinese Communists. Bet Nancy Pelosi had advanced knowledge of this latest act of war against us and her huge freezers have just been fully stocked with Beef. The Chinese use bioweapons against us and the Russians use cyber attacks. We are at war with foreign enemies and domestically with their allies, the communist democrat death party.

Bring out the paper and pens. We have used it in the past with excellent results. It seems like the internet is becoming an albatross around our necks at times. Did the meat producers want to get in on the price gouging game too? Proclaim you are hacked and held for ransom and your prices go up sky high. Is this the game they are playing? If not, find a way to work without relying totally on the internet. It would appear that we need some kind of super cyber safety department in every business to prevent this kind of thing. If companies can’t manage that or won’t manage it, they should go back to the old way of doing things. Remember when we actually could function in every aspect of our lives before the internet? It is possible. Either find a way to stop cyber criminals or go old school. The more we rely on the internet, the more vulnerable we become. If the hackers know we can implement Plan B in an emergency, it would lessen their power over us. Surely, we are smart enough to figure this out.

Maybe I'll drive over to our small town butcher and pick up a couple of rib eyes for dinner. Hand cut when you order. Very high quality, Choice+, grass fed beef, pork, etc. Pretty sure he doesn't need a computer for his second generation family owned business. Not the cheapest price but always the best quality. And I try to make a determined effort to support family owned businesses.

Isn't it interesting that the things our foreign enemies are attacking (oil, meat, etc.) are exactly the things that our domestic enemies (i.e., the Democrat Party) want to limit, eliminate, or make exorbitantly expensive? So would it surprise anyone that the Democrats are not going to be in any great hurry to correct these problems? Well they can steal our elections but when they come for my steak and bacon, it's WAR!!!

Companies have become so dependent upon computer systems that they can not function without them. Daily inventory, material distribution, order entry, all areas of accounting, shipping, it's all automated, which is a good thing when it's working. Quite a coinkydink that this is happening when the Greenies are pushing seaweed burgers and tofu everything. Just like a gasoline shortage and price hike while electric cars are being heavily marketed. It's all part of the plan. Beef just became the new toilet paper.

Here's a link to the brands involved. https://jbsfoodsgroup.com/our-brands Unfortunately about 30 years ago the USDA passed regulations which put most of the small slaughter houses out of business. This successful attack is another failure of the US Department of Homeland Security headed by Alejandro Mayorkas immigrant from Cuba. Remember the the Chinese were allowed to buy Smithfield and are buying up farm and ranch land in the USA.

Cyber attacks aside, why is food production on the scale of JBS (apparently a Brazilian company) not a national security issue?? Given that there is currently a push on reduction of red meat (brain food) available for the non-elites, I'm skeptical about who might actually be applauding everything going on in this country - food production, energy, illegal immigration, chinese virus to name a few.

Modern plants are controlled operationally and administratively by computer. All connect to the internet for email, including the marketing throughout the U.S. and overseas of their products. Some have suggested just disconnect from the internet. Won't work. All marketing is done via internet and email. They say don't click on a link in your emails, but how do you know the answer to your bid requests are from legitimate sources. Many are not, and some can penetrate computer system security. Ransomware people have gotten very good at spoofing, and making their messages appear to be legitimate daily business. Our company was taken down. We had to abandon a server, and transfer that information to the cloud. That penetration was through a link sent to an employee requesting a bid for one of our products. They entered our system and stole personnel ss information, and began filing unemployment claims. Texas, Ca., and Washington have said they each have hundreds of millions of fraudulent unemployment claims that were paid by the U.S. government. Russia and China are testing our vulnerabilities, and finding they can easily bring us down without firing a shot.

Do you see a pattern that is beginning to form. First, fossil fuels and now meat (cattle). Someone is behind this and it's not the Russians. Try the U.S. I smell an inside job. This is all happening to push the prices up and making us (u.s. citizens) use less in the name of the environment. Can anyone say, Susan Rice, Obama, Jarrett, AOC, etc. I'm not a conspiracist and I can start seeing a pattern. Let's see what is next.

First gasoline and now food. Interesting timing. Why is it happening now under Biden when it could have happened just as easily under Trump? Its probably the Russians or Chinese behind this, but would not rule out our own government screwing us over. They need high prices so there will be more tax revenue. There are two things that need to happen here: - Certain critical functions in critical industries need to be taken off the public internet. - Find the hackers and shut them down. Most likely, neither will happen.

Everything about this incident is controlled by foreign interests except the potential meat shortages that would adversely effect the American people. The meat processing corporation involved is controlled and owned by Brazilian interests and owners, and the hackers are said to be Russians in Russia who could easily be Russian Government espionage operatives. So far the Biden response has been a very weak comment.

I really don't trust DM to produce factual reports. If this takes more than one or two days to jury rig a paper, whiteboard, manual, cell phone and homebrewed spreadsheet workable system, these people are all fools. I guarantee that if I were in charge of it, things would be moving again very quickly. At full production rates? No. With normal efficiency? No. Would there be some waste and lots of extra hand labor keeping track of stuff? Yes. But, would cattle get butchered and shipped to market? Yes, absolutely. Those saws, coolers and knives have no computers running them. It's all for 'keeping track' and handling orders. Paper and phones and spreadsheets made up in a VERY short time could handle it at a substantial portion of original throughput. 40% or 70%, I don't know. But it sure as hell wouldn't be zero percent.

My father was a butcher (more than a retail meat cutter). He killed steers and processed the meat from live steer to the meat market. And then he personally sold the beef to customers. He would not have known a computer from an adding machine, and his ability outweighed things one can't eat. The new world order simply doesn't work.

Like many immigrants who escaped communism, Rand knew firsthand the corrosive effect of politicizing the industries that supply and feed our economy. The central plotline of Atlas Shrugged follows the accelerating political corruption of American corporations. Rand painted a picture of a kind of corporate/leftist fascism that feels familiar
