A major cyberattack has reportedly crippled the world's largest meat processing company, JBS. The company reports an "organized cybersecurity attack" has severely hampered its operations in the U.S. and Australia.

NBC News reports that thousands of meat workers in Australia are out of work for a second day this week after a cyberattack has crippled the largest meat supplier in the world, JBS. The company is also Australia's largest meat and food processing company with 47 facilities across the country including abattoirs, feedlots, and meat processing sites. JBS employs around 1,100 people.

JBS USA said in a statement from Greeley, Colorado, on Monday that it was the target of an "organized cybersecurity attack," affecting some of its servers supporting its North American and Australian IT systems.

People who opt to change their gender and then choose to reverse the process often face mistrust and a lack of support. RT.com spoke to two detransitioners who shared their story of the painful journey back from being trans.

Transitioning from one sex to another is a radical process. It's commonly misunderstood, and most ordinary people are confused about how to even refer to the individuals involved. But there's an entire group of people who are even more widely misunderstood: detransitioners. They committed to living as the opposite sex, only to change their mind and revert to their original gender.

Few detransitioners are comfortable speaking publicly, but two agreed to share their journey with RT.com.

Comment: Oliver nailed it: detransitioners chip away at the fiction that one can completely change sex. Those who feel the need to present themselves as other than their birth sex, have the freedom to do so. But they should not be able to legally compel others to participate in their illusion, nor should they be attacking those who choose to give up that illusion. 'Watchful waiting' used to be psychology's norm when dealing with children's assertions about their gender, and should be again.

'Harmed' by a picture of Prince Philip? The woke's relentless willingness to play the victim is now beyond parody

The perpetually offended woke are increasingly comfortable using mental health to justify their campaigning - causing a university in London to issue a risible apology for the 'crime' of emailing a picture of Prince Philip.

There is something totally distasteful about King's College London apologising to its staff for sending out a picture of Prince Philip after the duke's death back in April.

The picture was accompanied by a seemingly innocuous text, which stated, "As the nation marks the death of HRH Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, we thought you might like to see this photo of the Duke at the official opening of the Maughan Library in 2002, which some colleagues will remember."

'Intelligence services drawing scientific conclusions': China slams US plans to publish new report on Covid-19 origins

The Chinese Foreign Ministry has slammed US plans to publish a report on the origin of coronavirus, accusing Washington of playing a "political game" and using intelligence to draw conclusions on a "difficult scientific question."

The US decision to task its intelligence services with digging into the origins of coronavirus shows that the country is fixated more on blaming China rather than establishing the truth, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a regular press briefing in Beijing on Friday.
"This only suggests that the US is not interested in finding out the truth, it does not want any scientific research, this is just a political game, an attempt to throw the blame on others and throw off their responsibility," Zhao added.
The theory that the Covid-19 might have originated from a secretive biological lab in Wuhan emerged shortly after the beginning of the pandemic. No actual evidence has ever been produced to support such claims.

Contempt Motion To Be Filed

CDMedia spoke to Attorney Bob Cheeley, plaintiff attorney in the Fulton County, GA election fraud case working its way through the court of Judge Amero in Henry County, having been moved out of Fulton for procedural reasons. Amero has granted Cheeley's, and attorneys for the other plaintiffs', request to unseal and scan at 600 dpi the mail-in ballots from the 2020 general election. Allegations are that tens of thousands of counterfeit ballots are included in the 147,000 batch of mail-in ballots and envelopes. The video surveillance film from State Farm Arena the night of Nov 3rd seems to validate these allegations.

Cheeley relayed shocking information regarding the security alarm incident yesterday at the Fulton County ballot storage warehouse where a door was found ajar, and the facility unattended.

Bottles apparently prepared for use as Molotov cocktails by Jewish right-wing extremists for an attack on Palestinian workers near Afula, May 2021
A group of Jewish right-wing extremists planned to carry out an attack on Palestinian workers earlier this month that would have seen them hurl Molotov cocktails at their victims and attack them with various handheld weapons, Channel 12 news reported Sunday.

The attack, which intended to target a bus stop used by workers from the West Bank, reportedly did not go ahead because the activists failed to find the Molotov cocktails that had been hidden in a field behind the stop.

Channel 12, searching the field, uncovered a large plastic bucket filled with bottles, some of which also had rags stuffed in their tops. According to the network, there was a smell of gasoline coming from the bottles.

US tech giants reportedly under pressure to cut ties with Israel over 'human rights violations'

Israel's booming technological sector has long been a luring field for American start-ups and established giants, including Google, Amazon, and Apple. In 2019, US firms accounted for 80 percent of all purchases by Israeli tech companies.

American Big Tech firms are being pressured to re-asses their strong connections with Israel by pro-Palestinian activists - and by their own employees - amid the recent round of hostilities between the Israeli military and the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, according to Politico.

On 21 May, a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel ended 11 days of conflict, which was triggered by Tel Aviv restricting Palestinians visiting the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem's Old City during Ramadan, and by the decision of Israel's Supreme Court to evict six Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem's Arab district of Sheikh Jarrah. However, the recent wave of tension fuelled calls from the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BSD) movement, which has long been pressuring world governments and businesses to cut ties with Israel.

Comment: Overall, the record is pretty damning.

A picture shows supertanker Grace 1, suspected of carrying Iranian crude oil to Syria in violation of EU sanctions, after it was detained off the coast of Gibraltar on July 4, 2019.
Tanker said to have been subjected to forfeiture under American anti-terrorism statutes as Revolutionary Guard tried to use it to sell crude oil to China.

The US has sold some 2 million barrels of Iranian crude oil after seizing an oil tanker off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, court documents and government statistics show.

The Iranian crude oil showed up in new figures released over the weekend by the US Energy Information Agency, raising the eyebrows of commodities traders as Tehran remains targeted by a series of American sanctions. The EIA figures included just over 1 million barrels of Iranian "crude oil imports" in March.

Hunter Biden violated divorce settlement by not paying delinquent taxes

Although Hunter Biden made millions, he hampered his ex-wife's quest to build a new life after their 2017 divorce by refusing to pay back property taxes or deed over one of their homes to her, according to documents obtained by the Washington Examiner .

Biden's actions violated his divorce settlement agreement and resulted in the federal government garnishing Kathleen Biden's $5,345 tax return. She was also unable to refinance a home in her own name in 2018, Kathleen Biden's divorce attorney, Rebekah Sullivan, wrote in a letter to Hunter Biden.

At the time, Biden was making up to $50,000 a month from his consultant job with the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings. Property records show the couple owned homes in Washington, D.C., Delaware, and on a lake in Indiana.

Comment: You can't get much more scummy than Hunter Biden.

China relaxes family planning policy amidst rapidly ageing population

China has relaxed its family planning policy to allow couples to have three children after a census showed its population is rapidly ageing, state media reported Monday, further unwinding four decades of controls in the world's most populous nation which have strangled the birthrate.

For almost 40 years, China enforced a controversial "one-child policy" — one of the strictest family planning regulations worldwide — which was relaxed in 2016 to a "two-child policy" due to widespread concerns over an ageing workforce and economic stagnation.

Despite government efforts to encourage couples to have children, China's annual births have continued to plummet to a record low of 12 million in 2020, the National Bureau of Statistics said last month.

Comment: Note that Uyghur families were exempt from the child limiting quotas, but, in recent years, like other populations that have seen their living standards rise, have chosen to have less: Drop in Xinjiang birthrate largest in recent history
