Minnesota: cyberattack on water utilities disrupt water & wastewater supply

A cyberattack, seemingly coordinated across multiple Minnesota communities, disrupted the water supply in Braham, MN. St Paul and its suburbs were also targeted by these "unknown actors." St. Paul's systems were affected, but operators were able to avoid service interruptions.

We've long known that our critical infrastructure is vulnerable to cyberattacks — and FBI/DHS have been warning all year that these vulnerabilities would soon be exploited. This may serve as a warning...

New Jersey Bans "Surveillance Pricing" in Supermarkets

Very interesting to see this push back against retailers who have been deploying facial recognition & adjusting prices based on your data:

The Fair Price Protection Act forbids the use of "surveillance pricing," in which prices are adjusted based on someone’s past purchases, online searches, and other personal digital data. The practice results in individual shoppers paying different prices for identical products purchased at the same time from the same place.

“Surveillance pricing weaponizes your data against you,” Sherrill said before she signed the bill at a Newark grocery store. “Companies figure out where you live, where you shop, and even what you’re Googling, and they use that data to calculate specific, often higher prices for items you need without your knowledge.”

Over the last six months, as strategic reserves have been released and issues papered over, the arteries of the global economy have closed. Oil reserves are now scraping bottom. Food and water crises have been declared. And the control systems that were once UN/WEF tabletop exercises have gone live.

We are at the inflection point: the moment the technocratic system inserts itself between humanity and nature, between us and the source of life itself.

This is it.

When we can no longer grow our own food ...
When water itself is metered, tracked, and rationed ...
There is no going back.

Cyberattacks on Water Supply Hit Mainstream; FBI/DHS/CISA issue fresh warnings.

Since my most recent post warning about cyberattacks on the water & wastewater systems, agencies have been warning that bad actors are targeting US municipal water supplies nationwide with cyberattacks on PLCs and industrial control systems.

The alert I have set for "cyberattack water" has been dinging like crazy as innumerable mainstream news sources have been covering this — the taking points definitely went out, and the mockingbird media is blasting it throughout the echo chamber.

7 states have had systems attacked, including MN & WI (the rest have not yet been named). And, of course, Iran is being blamed. Even the NY Times is blasting that they are to blame...and other outfits like HuffPo are telling people to get prepared.

Where this narrative goes, I can't say, but we've certainly been seeing "Iranian hackers" mentioned in the news since March (and indeed long before). Stay vigilant...

Michigan latest to report cyberattacks on water & wastewater systems

Systems were breached but remained operational. Interestingly, while the federal agencies promoting warning about these attacks have been quick to point the finger at Iran, Trump himself denied this, saying "Iran has bigger problems" and blaming MN gov Tim Walz and the state's "gross incompetence." (... even though CA, SD, and now MI are now also in the mix..!)

The media coverage around this has continued to be extremely loud—and by that, I mean tons of articles, at levels usually seen when promoting rather obvious psyops.

There are also clusters of bot accounts on X posting similar things (attached).

This suggests to me the narrative is being deliberately seeded and shaped ...

Israel blames Iran for cyberattack that damaged food processor's cooling systems

Iran has been blamed for a cyber attack on the refrigeration system of an Israeli food processor which reprogrammed the controllers and destroyed the compressors.

An Iranian state-directed persona, Cyber Isnaad Front, deployed remote access software, disguised as a Microsoft update.

Refrigeration engineers were called to the plant when temperatures rose in cold rooms and freezers and found that valves had been reconfigured and passwords changed, locking them out of their own equipment.

The motorized valves were pinned permanently open, venting CO2 to the atmosphere, and destroying three compressors.

Cyberattacks on our food systems have been on the rise this year. Grow those gardens...

Kash Patel "urges vigilance" after water system cyberattacks

They are keeping this narrative in play ...

FBI Director Kash Patel says the FBI is calling on states to report potential threats as investigators look into cyberattacks on American water systems, with a recent advisory suggesting Iranian hackers might be to blame.

Patel said the FBI is operating in eight different states and described the situation as "managed really well" because of the relationship with law enforcement and election officials.

Authorities have not publicly identified the source of cyberattacks that targeted over 30 water systems in Minnesota. However, the late-July attacks came as various authorities warned that Iranian hackers are focused on targeting these kinds of systems.

The FBI, CISA and other agencies issued the advisory, which said Iranian hackers have been targeting water and wastewater systems and "operational controls of other critical infrastructure sectors."

Genetically Engineered probiotic "pre-alcohol shots" being sold to avoid hangovers

Designer probiotics startup ZBiotics has sold 15 million+ "pre-alcohol" shots to drinkers who want to avoid hangovers, by first imbibing genetically modified microbes.

Looking ahead, ZBiotics is building a pipeline of genetically engineered probiotics which may be combined with other ingredients to create novel products spanning a range of health benefits, says Abbott.

They recently purchased a chunk of January AI's "Eden" product line, which helps eliminate glucose spikes during the "Rice Bowl Challenge" — where people basically eat a ton of carbs.

Is it weird that direct human consumption of GE microbes is first being marketed to alleviate damage from self-destructive activities?

AgTech companies can't help but intimate that they are disrupting and supplanting our connection to God.

This has been bothering me for years as I cover the space, and now I think the pattern is abundantly clear: the technocrats invoke sacred language as they roll out their patented organisms, bioreactors, and lab-grown protein.

Judge for yourself:

Eden:
- Eden Brew: milk without the cow — precision fermentation
- Eden Bio: AI strain engineering for protein production (fake meat)
- Project Eaden: spinning plant protein into "ultra-realistic whole-cut plant-based meat"
- [from my last post]: January AI’s genetically engineered microbes for human consumption called "Eden"
- Eden Research, a UK biopesticides / plastic-free encapsulation for crop protection
- Eden Materials, turning ag waste into thermoplastics

- Resurrect Bio: "resurrects" plants through genetic engineering to improve their defenses

- Rainbow Crops: Belgian AI-driven gene editing for crops

- Manna: Israel's AI-driven platform for high-protein crops

Genesis
- Genesis Soil Intelligence: French soil-health/"climate-impact" monitoring
- Verinomics Genesis: transgene-free gene-editing platform for specialty crops

Ark
- Ark Biotech: Bioreactors and software for scaling cultivated (lab-grown) meat
- Ark Bio Solutions: Brazilian precision-fermentation animal-free proteins
- Noah Ark Biotech: AI+genomics+synthetic biology to "engineer organisms nature never built,”
- Ark, Inc.: Japanese recirculating aquaculture systems

- Creation Ag: Precision drone applications to crops

Moscow: Drone/AI Homestead Surveillance Already Operational as Poultry Registration Deadline Looms.

In Moscow Oblast, the first automated fine of 150,000 rubles was issued to a landowner after drones filmed the property and AI identified hogweed.

The system then matched GPS coordinates to property data and automatically issued a citation.

This infrastructure for continuous automated surveillance of private property (drones + AI + owner matching + automated fines) is already operational under the banner of invasive-species control.

Given a right crisis — be it bird flu, radiation scare after a claimed nuclear incident, or otherwise “contaminated” soil or other public health excuse to render gardens illegal — this same pipeline can be flipped to detect & enforce unregistered backyard gardens and flocks.

See my previous report on drone surveillance of livestock/gardens: here.

Russia: Poultry Registration now Mandatory

Owners of more than 10 birds must now register their flocks with the state by 1-Sep. (< 10 birds , you have until 2029...)

The state wants to know who has the food. Combine this with the drone surveillance mentioned in my last post, and we see that enforcement of the total technocratic takeover of food is going live...

India: drones to start monitoring agricultural fields in real-time

Drones monitoring farms in the name of "stopping pollution."

The claim is that farmers were hiding their activities from satellites by working at night — so this is now needed:

"Government believes satellite surveillance alone is no longer enough. That's why Drones will not only quickly detect smoke and fire, but geo-tag the farm, record photos and videos to give authorities live information. Teams can then arrive immediately and take action. A big technical step toward stopping pollution."

Nigeria ALSO just announced they are starting registration of livestock:

"The federal government plans to commence the digital registration and tagging of all cattle, sheep and goats across the country as part of measures to curb cattle rustling, improve livestock traceability and boost Nigeria’s access to international livestock markets."

Uzbekistan introduces digital "Animal Passports" - required registration for animals

A new procedure for the identification, registration, and tracking of animals is being introduced in Uzbekistan. Starting from August 7 of this year, animals kept and (or) bred by individuals or legal entities within the country will be required to undergo established identification and official registration.

The document also sets specific deadlines for animal identification and registration. Specifically:
* cattle, sheep, goats, and camels — 14 days after birth;
* horses — 4 months after birth;
* pigs — 1 month after birth;
* dogs and cats — 3 months after birth must be identified.

Global Food Price Index hits 3-year high

The UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s Food Price Index climbed to a three-year high in July, extending its upward trajectory as conflicts across Eurasia (the Black Sea and the Hormuz chokepoint) disrupt critical trade routes and mounting El Niño risks threaten global harvests.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization’s FAO Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in the international prices of a basket of globally traded food commodities, averaged 131.09 last month, up .6% from the previous month, led by gains in grain, sugar, and vegetable oils.

Wheat surged 5.8% during the month to a two-year high, while corn climbed 3.6%. Vegetable oil prices reached their highest since June 2022, while meat and dairy prices declined, according to the FAO.

For households, the best hedge may be to strengthen their own local food supply chains, whether by planting a backyard garden, buying directly from nearby farms, or building relationships with local farmers and cattle ranchers.

Global Food Security at Risk as Ukrainian Grain Exports Drop 22% YoY

Due to Russia's blockade in the Black Sea, Ukrainian wheat/barley/maize exports are down 22% Year-over-Year.

Ukrainian attacks on Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov (a key route for ~25% of Russian grain exports) have caused them to throttle exports there, prompting wheat prices to jump 7% on the news.

Notably, production itself is still solid — the problem is getting the grains out, and that's not happening reliably right now.

As mentioned above, the best hedge against war-related food supply chain disruptions ... is still right there in your backyard garden. #GoGrow !

Registering the Chickens: Animal Passports & Drones Hit 8+ Countries [VIDEO]

Countries across multiple continents are rapidly rolling out mandatory animal registration, digital IDs, passports, and aerial surveillance of farms and private land.

Though they cite different excuses, the net result is the same: all backyard flocks and livestock are being pulled into centralized databases that can be queried and enforced in real time.

This is happening in "lock step" as a push is made to map and control livestock and food production worldwide.
