considering how many on the book laws,rights and constitutions that were used exclusively for wiping the asses of the elite and killing the citizenry i might think the food fires were a coincidence but with how everything has been handled i call bullshit. they are doing everything they can to manufacture a food crisis through supply line destruction, fertilizer limiting and now we can see flat out burning down production plants. also raw numbers are useless if certain food processing plants produce a large percentage of the market you can get most of the supply chain down. all the debunking i have seen so far only looks at total number of plants vs # fires which says nothing about the effect. not to mention the location of said plants may be the source of cheap prices locally which would further fuel local inflation. i would be interested to know where the fires happen WRT blue vs red counties and how it affects the communities
So far, claims about a supposed epidemic of food fires are mostly circulating on the conspiracy-inclined right. So, rather than amplifying the claims, liberal-leaning media outlets are applying unaccustomed rigor in debunking them. These efforts will probably do little to persuade adherents to the paranoid view. Journalistic fact-checking sites such as Snopes and Politifact have squandered their credibility in recent years by indulging in nakedly partisan smackdowns of politically inconvenient stories. And some of the groups trying to set the record straight on the food fires aren’t doing themselves any favors. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) does crucial research on fire prevention. But its media team could use some advice on how to talk to a skittish, skeptical public. The group published an excellent article attempting to put food-fire fears to rest under the unfortunate headline “Nothing to See Here.”
...and...
First, there’s the baseline problem: a list of nearly 100 incidents disrupting food supplies certainly seems like a worrisome trend. But what’s the context? More than 2 million farms operate in this country, and about 35,000 food and beverage processing centers. The NFPA doesn’t specifically track fires at food-processing plants. But it does report that roughly 5,000 fires occur every year at all types of manufacturing and processing facilities combined—nearly 15 per day. In addition, the group says, in 2019, “more than 2,000 fires occurred in agricultural, grain and livestock, and refrigerated storage facilities.” At this rate, perhaps we should be surprised there aren’t more incidents included on the lists of supposedly suspicious events.
I can see their point, but I am still inclined to think it's not a matter of the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon in action.
