The world’s largest meat supplier, JBS Foods, has been crippled by a cyberattack, the company announced, the latest hit to an already rattled supply chain that’s sent food costs soaring at grocery stores and restaurants.
JBS said Monday evening that it shut its North American and Australian IT networks down after the company realized Sunday it had been hit by an attack.
I agree that some things are so strange, so vagrant, that they are at least very difficult to ignore. Nearly impossible to walk by or pretend they haven’t happened.
Imagine a person in a powerful position — ok, let’s uncoil the whole rope. Imagine a Member of Parliament treating his office as if it were an out station for a nudist colony, and who went all Adam, full starkers, while communing with other MPs on the Zoom machine. They were wearing clothes.
Cree lawyer Eleanore Sunchild has represented thousands of residential school survivors in Saskatchewan and other provinces.
Sunchild spoke with the CBC reporter Jason Warick about the recent announcement by the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation that it had discovered unmarked burial sites believed to contain 215 bodies near the former Kamloops, B.C., Indian residential school.
Sunchild planned to attend a vigil in North Battleford, Sask., Monday evening for these children and others who died attending other schools.
Native activist Pam Palmater used the word genocide so often in a recent interview that you’d be passed out drunk in less than 10 minutes were it a drinking game.
Technology uncovered remains at B.C. residential school but secrets still remain beneath the soil
“It’s not going to give you a black-and-white answer, but it’s going to pinpoint to the right direction most of the time. It’s not an exact survey,” GeoScan lead technician Peter Takacs said.
While some conclusions can be drawn from the data, experts in the field say there’s only one way to get 100 per cent certainty.
“You would have to dig,” Takacs said. “You would have to do a proper investigation. Nothing will essentially give you better results than daylighting.”

Is it all Greek to you? Coronavirus variants get new names
Coronavirus variants with clunky, alphanumeric names have now been assigned the letters of the Greek alphabet to simplify discussion and pronunciation while avoiding stigma.
The World Health Organization revealed the new names on Monday amid criticism that those given by scientists to strains such as the South African variant – which goes by multiple names including B.1.351, 501Y.V2 and 20H/501Y.V2 – were too complicated.

So far no significant Indian variant impact
Muslim Youth Austria (MJO) is filing a lawsuit against the country’s controversial “Map of Political Islam,” the group announced on Saturday.
The map, showing the names and location of over 600 mosques and associations in Austria and their possible links abroad, was unveiled on Thursday.
“The publication of all the names, functions and addresses of Muslim and Muslim-affiliated organizations represents an unprecedented crossing of boundaries,” Muslim Youth Austria said.
It’s hard to imagine a bigger and more politically inconvenient mess than this one. But that’s what happens when you license racial shakedowns.
The shakedowns just get bigger and bigger until no one can afford to pay them. The only thing missing is Al Sharpton.
The Founders knew that commonality was a great benefit to the Republic. It brought harmony and stability. That is why the 1795 Immigration Act specified that new Americans “be attached to the principles of the United States” as “this leads to good order and harmony.” It introduced the requirement for a “declaration of intention” to be filed before the formal application. They wished to make certain that we only brought in immigrants who loved America and would put America first (you might have heard of that expression) and would screen out all others.
The famous Iron Chancellor of Germany, Otto Von Bismarck, once said of the United States, “God protects fools, drunkards and the United States of America.” While said perhaps in jest or frustration, his remarks have proved prophetic throughout the years.
The United States from the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to the beginning of the Iraq War, enjoyed a moment of unipolarity in international affairs. For the first time in recorded human history, one country occupied the high ground of international affairs by itself.
China’s pretense to scientific prowess over the West has been exposed by mixed and questionable results
At the start of the year Sebastián Piñera, president of Chile, went to Santiago airport personally to greet a consignment of vaccines from China. ‘Today is a day of joy, excitement and hope,’ he said from a podium on the tarmac. ‘As you see behind me, there is the plane that brought a shipment of almost two million doses of Sinovac vaccines.’ By April, Chile had suffered one of the worst COVID surges in Latin America. The joy and hope, it seemed, had been misplaced.
“… Antisemitic incidents were already rising in Europe before the 11-day conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza that ended with more than 230 Palestinian and 12 Israeli fatalities. With the start of the hostilities, Europeans began bracing for antisemitic activity that tends to accompany Middle East tensions. It’s known on the continent as “the import of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
