U.S. Airlines Warn of “Catastrophic Disruption” to Global Supply Chain When New 5G Service is Deployed

📡
@G3News: U.S. airlines and cargo carriers on Monday (Jan. 17) warned that the new 5G wireless service set to deploy Wednesday (Jan. 19) could ground flights, potentially stranding thousands of Americans overseas and delaying the delivery of key goods.

In a letter to Biden administration officials, executives of major carriers wrote that C-band 5G causes disruptions to airplanes’ instruments that could make “huge swaths” of the U.S. fleet unusable. They noted that by Wednesday’s deadline, most of the nation’s large airports will be under 5G-related flight restrictions from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

"This means that on a day like yesterday, more than 1,100 flights and 100,000 passengers would be subjected to cancellations, diversions or delays," chief executives of Delta Airlines, United Airlines, FedEx, UPS and others wrote in the letter.

The executives urged U.S. officials to prevent 5G from being implemented within 2 miles of affected airports until the FAA figures out a way for affected airplanes to fly safely or risk a “catastrophic disruption” to passenger flights and the global supply chain.

“Immediate intervention is needed to avoid significant operational disruption to air passengers, shippers, supply chain and delivery of needed medical supplies,” they wrote in a letter to the White House.

Grocery store closures loom amid labour, product shortages - Canada

Grocery stores are struggling with rising labour and product shortages that could threaten Canada's food security, experts say.

Employee absenteeism due to workers calling in sick and COVID-19 protocols has hit about 30 per cent at some stores and is continuing to rise, Gary Sands, senior vice-president of public policy with the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers, said Tuesday.

If the situation worsens, some grocery stores won't be able to stay open — threatening food security in rural and remote areas that rely on a sole independent grocer, Sands said.

"If we have to keep sending people home, at a certain point stores are not going to be able to operate," he said. "We're very frustrated with the lack of rapid test kits for grocers."

"Independent grocers are in a myriad of communities in this country where there is no other grocery store," Sands said. "If those stores close, you've got a food security issue."

Meanwhile, stores are also experiencing a shortage of goods stemming from supply chain issues, including a shortage of truckers, packaging and processing delays and the Canadian winter.

But some supply chain issues could be longer lasting, such as the trucker shortage intensified by the federal government's new vaccine mandate.

"The issue with the truckers having to be vaccinated is causing some delays, especially with the supply of fruit and vegetables from California," Sands said.

Alberta: cattle feeders face increasingly desperate feed shortage.

“Several larger feedlots have indicated that they will run out of all feed in a few days.”


This is beyond catastrophic, with 1.5 million cattle unable to secure feed.

Elevators working in reverse as Alberta cattle feeders face increasingly desperate feed shortage.

“It’s a mess,” notes Kevin Serfas, of Serfas Farms, based at Turin, Alta. “If you only bought exactly what you needed on a week-to-week basis, you are in panic mode right now. I started November 1 and probably have half my orders. I’m not sure what needs to change. Everyone just blames the prior link in the chain.”

That chain includes grain companies, railways and railways, as well as trucking companies.

In some cases, grain handlers, such as Cargill, P&H, Richardson, and Viterra, are essentially trying to run their elevators in reverse. Rather than taking delivery from producers and loading grain onto trains, they are taking delivery of corn by train and transferring it onto trucks to fill sales contracts they’ve signed with cattle feeders — many of which are the same producers who otherwise sell grain to these companies.

Labour shortages, due to COVID-19 and more, have exacerbated the challenge in some situations, causing delays with loading and unloading trains and trucks. Several feedlots say delays in unloading trains have resulted in the railway putting a lower priority on these shipments. In some cases, they’ve been penalized financially with demurrage fees. [IAF: Stunning that the railway can simply stop shipping animal feed.]

There’s also concern the Canadian and U.S. government’s cross-border vaccination mandates, taking effect January 15 and 22, respectively, are removing a significant number of truck drivers from the road. Several sources told RealAgriculture they’ve also heard of a train being delayed due to crew members not wanting to have to quarantine in Canada.

To put the amount of feed that’s needed in context, ACFA says one rail car — the equivalent of approximately two super B trailers — will feed approximately 8,000 head of cattle for one day. There are approximately 1.5 million head in the province, meaning the industry requires more than a 100 unit train every day to replace the barley and wheat that would normally be sourced closer to home.

Hong Kong orders mass-euthanasia of small mammals

After “several hamsters tested positive,” Hong Kong officials have ordered the mass killing of 2,000 hamsters and “other small mammals” at pet stores.

I hope people are starting to see this trend of separating humanity from animals and God’s creation, towards their transhumanist future.

Hence this narrative that “animals are dirty and dangerous,” and bird flu, swine fever, rabbit ebola, deer with c19, and on and on… and yes they are coming for your pets.

___

Environmental samples taken at the shop's warehouse, where other species of small animals are held, also confirmed traces of coronavirus, officials said. The hamsters at the pet store were imported from the Netherlands in two batches -- on December 22 and January 7.

On Tuesday, authorities seized all the small animals in the shop, including hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas, to be tested and euthanized -- regardless of the test result -- citing a health hazard to the public.

All pet stores selling hamsters in the city have been ordered to hand the animals over to be put down, with similar orders for anybody who bought a hamster in the lead-up to Christmas, beginning December 22.

Lab monkeys escape after van crashes, one on the run—shots fired:


The crash in Pennsylvania of a truck transporting 100 monkeys to a laboratory allowed four of them to escape, triggering a search by police who warned the public not to approach the animals.

The vehicle collided with a dump truck near Danville, Pennsylvania on Friday afternoon, en route to a lab in Florida.

Police said on Twitter that four moneys had “fled the crash scene into the surrounding area.”

Three were later captured, but one was still on the loose on Saturday morning.

The local WNEP news site said a police helicopter with thermal cameras was used to track down the cynomolgus monkeys, while officers on the ground used powerful flashlights.

A reporter said police surrounded the monkey before shots were fired from an unidentified weapon.

DC Mayor asks people to “voluntarily ration” food due to supply chain issues, launching a new “Only Take What You Need” campaign.

A troubling sign - we know what comes after the “voluntary” part - and this starts to cast those who are prepared as enemies/hoarders, enemies of the collective.

Cue the CBDCs as ultimate purchase limits…

Bird Flu confirmed in South Carolina

Guidance issued for bio security includes “keeping poultry inside.” As I’ve covered before, the UK and other countries also use this as an excuse to cull backyard flocks and free range operations.

___
“These three positive samples tell us that high path avian influenza is currently present in the American Atlantic migratory flyway,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “While this virus is not a food safety issue, anyone with commercial or backyard flocks of poultry need to implement strict biosecurity measures. These measures include keeping your flock inside.”

Isle of Man pulling the bird flu card as well: no backyard poultry flocks.

Keepers urged to keep birds housed after second outbreak of avian flu

Poultry keepers on the Isle of Man are being asked to keep their birds housed and members of the public are being urged not to touch ill or dead birds.

No live poultry can be moved on or off the Island without consultation and agreement with the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.

Turkey institutes 3-days a week of NO ELECTRICITY due to Nat Gas shortages. These rolling blackouts are the kiss of death to industry — anyone who imports from them needs to be considering the implications of an enforced throttling of all economic activity.

Resetting right into the post-industrial, “zero-carbon” age

… and hey Europe — you’re next!

The government has imposed three days of power outages a week in the country’s hundreds of organised industrial zones. The main electricity distribution company TEIAS verbally informed zone managers over the weekend and said written notices would follow.

Car maker Renault SA announced it will stop production at its Bursa plant for 15 days, according to reports in the Turkish press, as the outages compound the global chip shortage already battering the automotive industry.

Turkey’s automotive sector is the country’s top exporter, accounting for 11% of all exports in 2021.

Officials warn US Water supply “absolutely vulnerable” to cyberattacks.

Amazing how all our infrastructure is “suddenly” so vulnerable! #Cyberpandemic

____

Cyber defenses for US drinking water supplies are "absolutely inadequate" and vulnerable to large-scale disruption by hackers, a senior official said Thursday.
"There's inadequate resilience to even a criminal sector," the official said. "The threshold of resilience is not what it needs to be."
President Joe Biden has attempted to address infrastructure cybersecurity but is limited by the fact that the vast majority of services are provided by private, not government, companies.

(But
given the right crisis I’m sure the feds could take control..!)

Taiwan is experiencing a rare shortage of chicken eggs that may not ease until April, according to the agricultural authorities.

Consumers in northern Taiwan have been complaining about empty egg shelves at retailers, and strained supplies have seen the price of the protein source soar. According to China Times, the price has been hiked to NT$35 (US$1.26) per catty (台斤, 0.6 kg) from NT$24 before the pandemic.

A daily shortfall of 1.2 million eggs is being reported as nationwide demand averages 23.6 million eggs per day, said Agriculture and Food Agency Director-General Hu Jong-i (胡忠一).

The authorities are taking measures to address the scarcity of the staple. A total of 600,000 eggs will be imported from Australia and the U.S. every week, while some of northern Taiwan's need will be met by eggs from the south, CNA quoted Hu as saying.

Multiple factors are behind the shortage, including the slump in demand last year during the Level 3 COVID-19 alert that discouraged breeders from replenishing their stocks of chicks. Recent cold fronts and avian flu outbreaks have further exacerbated instability in the supply of eggs.
