Meat-Processing Workers Contract COVID-19, and Meat Plants Close Globally

Is there an engineered plan to create a food shortage?

One can’t fail to notice the images of long food lines in the US and in places like South Africa.

But there is another strange co-incidence that is happening globally, and that is the high rate of infections in meat workers — resulting in the closing of meat-processing plants.

Closures in the US

The Coronavirus swept through meat factories in the US. This headline from CNN, “One of the largest pork processing facilities in the US is closing until further notice.”

“One of the country’s largest pork processing facilities is closing until further notice as employees fall ill with Covid-19.”

This was reported on 12 April 2020 (The Blaze):

“Several meat processing plants around the United States have temporarily shuttered their doors following hundreds of workers testing positive for coronavirus. This comes at a time when Americans are trying to stock up on food as they experience supply chains being disrupted. Health officials are investigating a beef plant in northern Colorado after as many as 50 employees tested positive for COVID-19, and two died from the lethal respiratory disease.”

Closures in Ireland

“Ireland is Europe’s biggest beef exporter, selling 90 per cent of its beef to the UK, France, Italy, Germany and elsewhere” — this reported in the Financial Times.

“Now [Ireland] it is battling coronavirus outbreaks in six meat processing plants and facing sharp drops in prices and production after lockdowns in key markets.”

In The Guardian:

“An outbreak of Covid-19 among workers in a meat factory in Tipperary has raised fears that the virus is spreading through abattoirs and meat-processing plants in Ireland. Sinn Féin’s spokesperson on agriculture, Brian Stanley, told the Irish parliament last night that 120 workers at the Rosderra Meats plant in Roscrea had tested positive for the virus. He also said that of 350 workers at the plant, up to 140 were off sick last week. Rosderra is the largest pork-processing company in Ireland.”

140 out of 350. That is quite a statistic.

And now for closures in my area.

Closures in Melbourne

I may be wrong, but about the only Corona infections recently have been at the local meat-processing plant.

On 5 May 2020 News.com.au reported, “Coronavirus Melbourne: Cedar Meats named as site of COVID-19 cluster”:

“There are now 34 cases of COVID-19 linked to a meat processing facility in Melbourne which deals with thousands of products each day… Nineteen of the 22 new cases announced in Victoria on Monday are “in connection with the meatworks”, Premier Daniel Andrews said.”

86% of new cases in the State of Victoria from one meat plant. Amazing.

It Just Gets Stranger

News.com.au reported, in the 5 May article, that,

“Cedar Meats closed on Friday (1 May 2020) and is being thoroughly cleaned… ‘Meatworks are particularly vulnerable. We’ve seen from the US extremely large outbreaks at meatworks,’ [Chief Medical Officer] Prof Sutton said today.”

Update:

Could some business savvy minds care to comment and investigate.

Cedar Meats has an extraordinary history. It was started by the two Kairouz brothers (Joseph and Tony). After immigrating from war-torn Lebanon they built an $160m (2016) empire. Allegedly over 70 people have been infected at Cedar Meats and the Australian Council of Trade Unions are getting involved saying “current health and safety laws are inadequate to deal with the Coronavirus”.

But there are two other brothers that have a problem. This from News.com.au:

“The world’s largest meat-processing giant was forced to shut down some of its US plants as more than 100 of its workers tested positive for COVID-19 last week, but the pandemic may be the least of its problems. The Brazilian billionaire brothers… controlling the massive meat producer JBS, which slaughters 13 million animals a day and has revenues of $50 billion a year, have been linked to high-level government corruption that has rocked the South American country.”

The brothers are now being investigated from price gouging and bribery in the US.

And as for the Irish meat works, Rosderra Irish Meats Group, I have been able to find nothing on who owns it or who started it in 2008. I wonder if it was started by brothers too?

Why the high infections at meat plants across the world?

  1. It certainly sounds like the Bolshevik World Holodomor Organisation is achieving its sustainability goals – and boasting about it.

    Millions of farm animals culled as US food supply chain chokes up

    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/29/millions-of-farm-animals-culled-as-us-food-supply-chain-chokes-up-coronavirus

    Coronavirus tests are a LIE… false positives vastly outnumber real positives … official infection counts wildly overstated

    https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-05-10-coronavirus-tests-are-a-lie-false-positives-infections-overstated.html

  3. I have noticed that Coles and Woolworths are changing the packaging of their meats to remove the processing/supplier names that once was proudly shown on the front of the packaging.

    For example Woolworths and Coles have removed Hazeldene’s chicken Logo and name from the front of the packaging. I noticed a shortage a couple of weeks ago of chicken products in both supermarket chains in Bendigo and now they are back without Hazeldene’s Logo…

    I am not saying that Hazeldene’s are trying to hide anything and from experience (having worked in a chicken supplier/processor) i know that packaging changes are driven from the supermarket in many instances and normally take atleast 6 months to design, approve, test and trial before finally being swiched over…

    • Mark recently there have been some high profile beef promotion adds–which caught my attention.

      Also a couple of months ago a local butcher–was selling mainly minced beef to order.
      instead of the usual meats displayed there was some chicken and a lot of brown paper bags with invoices–all minced beef– I asked why this was– he said people were stocking up -freezing food and mince was a good base.

    • I’d argue that being “dissociated from the source of food”(10:50) has been the norm for quite some time. Irrespective of labeling, most supermarket merchandise doesn’t proffer a clue about origins or safety

      • And given the size of 21 Century residential lots the “people need to be growing their own food” credo is pretty far fetched

  5. The US has other serious problems with their meat industry which concerns prion infected cattle.

    Rachel Doss on FB has posted about it extensively.

    Her father was a butcher who died of a prion infection caught from infected cattle. The infected cattle were alerted to authorities, who did not prevent those animals being slaughtered and sold to consumers.

    Sounds like a recipe for a well planned out disaster.

    Could it be that they are testing the meat workers in the US for prions, and not covid?

    Seems odd that meat workers ONLY in the US have this high incidence of corona.

    Of course it could be that the food chain is being intentionally disrupted by deep state operatives.

    That would look very bad for Trump at election time in November.

    But why target the animal meat industry specifically? Why not vegetables, grains, fruit?

    Are the deep state wanting to sell a specific meat – ie an infected variety (with that as the only option?)

    Or maybe they want to sell a different kind of flesh entirely?

    • My understanding is that meat-workers have to undergo routine medical tests that aren’t required within other food processing facilities.

      • Rachel and Diane, we’re not talking about the “special orders” from outlets like Dinner King (with the crown logo) on the corner of Almond and Cross, are we? Yuk on steroids.
        What;s with these fucking “people”,if one can call them that.

    • With reference to Julius’ link yesterday:

      “Tyson Foods, one of America’s largest meat producers, has closed or reduced production at several facilities throughout the US, including a pork-processing plant in Iowa, where several workers tested positive for Covid-19.

      Tyson plants in Texas and Indiana also closed. Other facilities, including a Smithfield Foods pork plant in South Dakota, and a JBS beef plant in Wisconsin, have announced temporary shutdowns.

      On Sunday Tyson chairman, John Tyson, warned in a blog post that: “In addition to meat shortages, this is a serious food waste issue. Farmers across the nation simply will not have anywhere to sell their livestock to be processed, when they could have fed the nation. Millions of animals – chickens, pigs and cattle – will be depopulated because of the closure of our processing facilities. The food supply chain is breaking.”

      The following information is taken from a woman called Rachel Doss’ FB page – I hope she doesn’t mind me reproducing it here – her posts are public:

      Rachel Doss

      21 March 2018 ·

      “Dad was a butcher for 47 years and died of non genetic Sporadic CJD MM 1-2, caused by exposure to Atypical L-BSE mad cow disease in 2015 on April 9th (autopsy confirmed).

      He was only 66 years old and perfectly healthy. Didn’t smoke, drink, never ate deer or elk. He never butchered anything that wasn’t U.S.D.A approved.

      My dad never traveled outside of the United States so they cant blame his travels. The only people who are to blame, are the ones that supplied the beef he was butchering for most of his career, TYSON FOODS.

      The CDC, FDA or USDA didn’t even check my dads meat departments for prion protein contamination for Atypical BSE. You never even heard it on the news.

      Lord knows they couldn’t have news of a Birmingham, Alabama butcher of 47 years dying of L-BSE mad cow disease right before they sign a deal to start exporting to CHINA, right?

      Strange how the latest and second diseased cow found in Alabama 2017 was L-BSE positive. That positive BSE infected cow was at an auction not even 2 hours from the city my daddy worked in.

      Had she been sold a month before she started having symptoms, a lot of people would have been eating FULL BLOWN L-BSE mad cow disease because the U.S only tests less than 1 half of 1% slaughtered for human consumption.”

      Methinks the shutdown of meat processing plants in the US and elsewhere has absolutely nothing to do with corona virus.

      I think covid is the excuse being used so the population who eat the meat processed by those plants won’t go mental with anger before they go mental with prions.

    • ….meanwhile ordinary law-abiding citizens were getting busted for sitting on the beach.

      What I’d like to know is
      * How many of the 62 staff members who tested positive actually had any adverse reaction to the virus ?
      * How many individuals were working at the plants at that time?
      * How many of them were actually tested?

  7. For a few decades now, the quality stuff produced in Oz goes to the highest bidder and that’s usually CCP. We get left with the scraps. The majority of our food comes from overseas, where standards are lacking and that’s if they exist at all. Our forebears must be turning in their graves at our present predicament. With global economies disease spreads instantly via free/slave trade.
    The other ingredient to the mix are bio weapon factories placed strategically in many nations. For what reasons, other than eugenics, I do not know. The frightening aspect is that these manufactured diseases can be placed in a container and released wherever the intention may be. Amplified by 5G and chemtrails our future in the balance. Yes a plandemic that was not possible without artificial insanity.

    • yes genetically engineered foods-monsanto—and created insanity–look at the history of Beyond Blue–geoff kennels creation

      • These are the hunger games, as chiseled on the Georgia guidestones.
        The pagans in control want to starve us to extinction. Like the power grid, the food barns can be switched off anytime, at their call. Dependant, we are at mercy.
        We were warned but failed to see the trap set for us. The illusion of freedom has created a global police state of magnitude unprecedented. Knowing that with empty stomachs we cannot resist stupidity weaponised, they have released the abominations.

        • 56, If they are about starving folks to extinction, the best route is to cut off food and water. If I had paid them to do that 6 months ago, I’d be sacking them right about now. An urban population can only function for about 1 month or so, except for the doomsday preppers, without access to a grocery-store. If they have no water available that would go down to about 2 weeks for the supplies most folks have to run dry.

          • Joe,
            I like your optimism, in the face of this crown masonic communist shutdown of earth. This is a re-set, the banksters don’t need our numbers anymore. 20 people have more wealth than 4 billion. This is the result of debt/usury scam that is money created from nothing sucking the blood of all good people. If you fail to see this, you probably work for the other mob. Litmus test, who did 911?

          • I’m not optimistic at all. Money is an abstraction. It’s conjured into existence from thin-air. Power is where it’s at. They had better get busy with this killin’ before we route them out, and at this point, they are hopeless at it.

            Far as 911, I think a few parties were responsible/collusive, and not necessarily the ones the media spent so much time implicating. The official story is ridiculous.

            If “I work for the other mob” what am I doing talking to you now? If you believe that I do, you’ve just given me control over you, as I can get you to believe stuff by telling you variations of the truth. How do I know you aren’t one of “them”?
            I don’t. It doesn’t matter.

            Me, I believe things supported by good evidence, not fear-porn stories. Not that the better ones aren’t entertaining, but it’s a lousy basis for investment of money and effort.

          • Joe,
            I apologise for offending your integrity. Got up on wrong side of bed this morning.

            All lives are sacred and we should respect each other always. Sadly the ptb don’t subscribe to that belief and that’s the reason for this mess we’re in.

          • Amen. Our society seems to select FOR socio-pathic traits and reward those who have them. I think that’s a fundamental flaw. Such a significant flaw, I think, that if just that thing could be changed/fixed, the results would be significant and immediate. It’s certainly worth a try.

  8. “Or maybe they want to sell a different kind of flesh entirely?” – LOL! Yep, good ol’ Soylent Green – it will help trim the population at the same time.

    • I just had an ‘Oh shit’ moment. We often discuss ‘predictive programming’ of the Cabal and that they tell the masses what they are going to do before hand. Whether it be in the MSM or The Simpsons or in movies, we often see it.

      After posting the above comment about Soylent Green, I decided to do a quick search on the movie Soylent Green, loved the movie. Here’s something that popped out in the search –

      “Richard Fleischer’s “Soylent Green” is a good, solid science-fiction movie, and a little more. It tells the story of New York in the year 2022″

      I really hope that is not another ‘dot’ to connect…

      • yes does it for me–I was about to ask as Manuel would say “Soylent Green’ Que??
        but you have. answered– and in that answer the existence of predictive programming– a reality in my world

      • Feeding a population on itself is neither sustainable nor efficient for feeding that population. Especially if they get physical access to the food before it is fed to them, they can verify what kind of DNA is in it and the “cat” will be out of the bag for good. If your goal is truly Malthusian, you simply create a virus with no infection symptoms whatsoever, which sterilizes them. You see definite results in 10 years, and the population plummets within 30. Tests to see if you have blood or tissue that is merely human are quite simple.

  9. What interests me is that there’s been virtually no vegie seeds in retail outlets for several weeks and the MSM has attributed the situation to people turning to backyard growing en masse. There are a number of reasons why that doesn’t exactly add up, quite apart from which the on-line specialist shops all seem to be still fully stocked. Go figure

    • berry -monsanto–the next war -food water scarcity—-huge underground artificially lit gardens–also protein – from insects –all well advanced

      • OK, since we’re all speculating. Maybe the fracking is intended to kill the whole water supply.

        Even if not intended, it is doing that anyway.

        • Not to mention the damage done by the long term, regular, high altitude spraying being seen, but NEVER mentioned by the (((MSM)))

        • Mary, “killing the whole water supply” is a novel idea, but;
          The aquifer under Australia is ridiculously big. It would take a lot of killin’.
          Also, most of Australia’s population lives right at the Sea, and has access to quite a lot of sunshine. I, for one, with a modest investment, am able to make purified water from ANY water source, even the sea, indefinitely.
          It’s not that hard.

  10. I can’t help but think that the overarching problem is the “complexity” of the “supply chains”.

    One of my earliest memories is seeing a headless chook running round in Wellington’s downtown marketplace.
    Because in those days that’s where most townsfolk purchased their tucker.
    I remember my Mum buying fruit in wooden crates, which was then bottled and eaten for desert in winter
    And leaving a billycan at the gate so that unpasturised milk could be delivered by the producer
    Once any system reaches a certain point of over-regulation and restriction some sort of disaster is inevitable

  11. What’s next? Will all the “Ladies of the Night” suddenly be infected with STD. I was about to print ,”that will keep many males off the street,” then I remembered we are in the 21st century and I had to revise, ” maybe some females also”.

    The 21st century must be recorded as the “century of coincidences”, even just in relation to the coronavirus problem.

    I haven’t noticed a shortage of fruit and vegetables yet, but there has been a continuous shortage of eggs and milk. Strange, as hens lay most the year round and dairy farmers have milking cows to milk every day of the year. Yes, even Christmas and Easter.

    A couple of weekends ago, the State of Michigan, having a female governor, allowed hardware shops to operate, but they were not to sell paints or SEEDS.(?)

    Speaking of female leaders. We were told some time ago that if females were allowed to become political leaders there would be less problems. I wonder who pushed that agenda? Would it be that females are easier to persuade to follow a certain agenda? We have experimented, and I believe the status quo is in place.

    Some names that come to mind, Maggie Thatcher, Julia Gillard, Teresa May, Angela Merkel, Helen Clark, Jacinda, Arden, Indira Ghandi, Golda Meir. I don’t think that they have world shattering differences to male leaders.

    • “females are easier to persuade to follow a certain agenda”

      And I’d add that the prohibition on saying so is part of an overall attempt to render the bulk of humanity powerless.

      I was never a wimpy sort of girl but my late mild-mannered husband was always better at spotting hostility and dealing with it than me, ditto all three of our sons once they reached their mid-teens. As bg says below “we are still part of nature”; watching my rooster scan the horizon for predators whilst the hens are scratching around in the dirt with their heads down is always a good reminder of how important it is to acknowledge innate abilities and limitations

    • Benazir Bhutto, now what was the deal with her covert assassination again, she was blabbering about something, can’t quite remember what

      • bg, I thought of Benazir Bhutto, and was going write that she may have been the exception, but I couldn’t think of her name. When I attempted to find out by asking, Pakistani women leaders she was not mentioned.

          • The interference starts at 5.30 after the question, what a hoot. Just like today in Murika.

          • bg, I remembered seeing this interview with David Frost years ago (sound unaltered). she was talking about Osama Bin Ladin being assassinated prior to being blamed for 9/11. Next time a few years later I came back to re-listen to it, the sound was gabled. Go figure.

  12. Be interesting to know how two foreigners from a war torn country arrived in Australia and built a $160 million dollar empire in less than 4 years. I know our meat prices are expensive for the amount we produce, but that value is ridiculous if the enterprise was operating in legal business only.

  13. Another problem facing Australians today in trying to supplement food from their own garden, even before taking into account the shortage of seeds, is that most people live on land not big enough to have a vegie plot. This is once again part of the plan laid down by the criminal UN, in their Agendas 21 and 30.

    Years ago the law was laid down, that even farmers were not allowed to kill their own animals for food on the grounds that there was a health danger. Never mind that for over a century this practise had never produced a death or sickness.

    In their mind, nobody has the right to provide their own food. This would lead to less control by the UN and politicians.

  14. Before Christmas I think it was or maybe just after, all the pigs in China started to die, maybe they were all given too many pharmaceutical products and finally they were all wiped out.
    Maybe all this just is what a culture of processed food and pharmaceuticals can look forward to.
    In nature, things have to be in peak condition to survive, and believe it or not we are still part of nature.

  15. dee writes that cedar meats cancelled its business reg on 28 april. she also highlights in blue in the relevant screen shot the phrase. extracted from abr. 28 april 2020.

    so i assume she thinks the latter is the proof of the former, ie that the company was extracted or taken out or deregistered as she gives no futher reasoning.

    but this phrase does not mean that, it means that the information aboput cedar meats was accessed or got hold of or retrieved or extracted on that date.

    if you search the web you will find other instances of this phrase from which you can see what it means.

    • Thanks so much Duns. As I said “Could some business savvy minds care to comment and investigate.” Will update.

    • The phrase “mortal flesh” stuck in my mind after reading comments above by Rachel and Diane. Gahd, what a team we have here! — people in Australia who have witnessed human sacrifice.

      When I was a kid, we were taught that the Aztecs were like far out, man, because they cut out the heart of the victim and offered it up (still beating) to God.

      I have a friend in Adelaide who can take you to a special place, not far from the CBD, where things happen that out-Aztec the Aztecs.

      Hey, SAPOL, interested?

  18. In the Benazir Bhutto interview by David Frost, above, she apparently said in 2007 that Bin Laden died in 2001.

    But Obama felt it was a bot later than that.

    • Hmm. Here is a 2019 interview with daughter of the late Benazir (assassinated iin 2007). All of the comments under the video are negative.

    • This land has always been one big mine owned by global overseers.
      With no constitution or bill of rights, exploitation guaranteed .
      It seems that people and all living things are never considered where profit is the only law.
      Australian Government is a corporation listed on the New York Stock Excange.

      • Not sure if it’s @realAustralianGovernment but I can say I read on Wikipedia that Rotschilds bought Rio Tinto about 1880 and I daresay they still own most of it so we are all on the payroll in one way or another. They also own Reuters and the very strange Economist magazine, anyone know what else aside from lots of banks ?

  22. Bondi was the hot spot. Now it’s the ‘cleanest’ cause they got on top of it with robust testing.
    Good friends, do you know anyone, that knows anyone, who has the crown virus?

    • (a) No

      (b) A friend reported that his grandson “had COVID” – thankfully, the child recovered after a bit of flu-like downtime. This was an interesting case study in the psychology of the typical person – it is almost as if he was glad/proud to say “Hey, look at me – I’ve got it or I am close to someone who has it!” That’s fine, and fun, because it was found not to be really serious at all. However, when pressed how he knew it was COVID and after challenging the sources of the ’diagnosis’ who then could only respond with a series of well’s, umm’s and pregnant pauses (no testing was done – just an assumption based on the symptoms – to get the statistics up?). My friend is now convinced it was just a common cold or everyday seasonal flu at worst.

      (c) A neighbour has lost three friends recently in the United States – all have “COVID” on their death certificates. All had major comorbidities and he knows for a fact that at least one was murdered using morphine and a ventilator. Despite losing loved ones he is awake to the hoax.

      (d) Another friend does medical transcription typing – not a single suspected or reported case in dozens if not hundreds of clinic letters over the past month or two. But more particularly, a typical letter will open with reference to telephone or Telehealth consultation because of the “COVID-19 situation”. In some cases the patient (child) has just experienced fever (temperature 40 degrees) and other related respiratory/flu symptoms – and the doctor does not even think for one moment to suspect, question or mention COVID in this context (not even to reassure the patient/parents that COVID is excluded) despite such glaring red flag ‘symptoms’. They (the specialists) just play along but I don’t know why – fear of losing their career if they declare the truth I suppose.

      (e) I repeat, NYET!

    • Me neither, but I did bump into an old acquaintance at the local shops who offered me his elbow to “shake”. I told him to keep his elbow out of my face and that this plandemic was a hoax. He got a bit miffed and told me that he “knows” someone who died of it and that I’m an idiot. I asked him who it was, how old they were and whether they lived in a nursing home. He declined to answer, put his mask back on.and walked off muttering. You can’t fix stupid.

  23. I don’t know anyone , that knows anyone that’s even heard of anyone with the C-virus ( & I have been out and about , going on random drives that serve no particular purpose , then getting out & walking amongst people – often staying well WITHIN the prescribed metre & a half anti-social distancing dictated by the overlords ).

    Needless to say , no wearing of masks for me . I’ll save the masks for the fancy dress balls .

  24. Berry, ( Re : the alleged 62 meat plant workers that tested positive to COVERT-19 , as I like to call it ) , all good questions you asked.

    I’m guessing those questions will never be answered – as they’ll reveal the hoax.

    One might also ask how many of those that tested positive at the meat plant ( or anywhere else for that matter ) , will later be revealed to be ‘ false positives ‘ .

    We’re never going to find out .
