The World Economic Forum’s “cyber pandemic” may be entering its opening stages.
Five European countries were just hit by cyberattacks that disrupted supermarket refrigerators and freezers—just weeks after Bill Gates said “over the next year, we are going to have a lot of NEGATIVE SURPRISES” from AI cyberattacks.
Hackers manipulated refrigeration settings to as high as 122°F, causing widespread food spoilage.
This may explain why governments around the world recently urged citizens to prepare several days’ worth of food and emergency supplies.
🚨 BREAKING: Hackers are hitting supermarket freezers in 5 countries at the same time.
This is what Covid looked like in week 1. A few countries. Small numbers. Nobody called it a crisis.
1/ Sweden: stores say hackers hit their cooling overnight. One says fridges and freezers were set to 50°C, and the food spoiled. ICA Kvantum stores in Sjöbo and Tomelilla were hit, plus at least 6 Coop stores. Sjöbo stayed closed through the morning, threw out all affected goods and apologized. ICA says it is working to restore normal operations. In Sankt Olof a store manager said "everything is ruined." Sweden's National Cybersecurity Centre is working on several incidents.
2/ Estonia: the CEO of cooling firm Kitman Coldtech says several clients were targeted and a large chain's freezer was raised to +50°C. It was found and addressed in about 10 minutes, no major damage.
3/ Ireland: SuperValu pulled ALL fresh and frozen food from 13 stores. Its owner, Musgrave, confirmed a "cybersecurity incident" on a "specific model" of fridge.
4/ Luxembourg: Ahold Delhaize says an "IT incident" hit fridges and freezers at dozens of its supermarkets across Luxembourg and Belgium.
5/ Belgium: more than 40 Delhaize, at least 15 Carrefour and around 5 Spar stores were hit. Cold storage climbed to 15°C. Aisles were closed off and large amounts of stock were destroyed. A notice at one Proxy Delhaize said its systems had "fallen victim to hacking."
Now zoom out.
A freezer normally sits at -18°C. In Estonia, hackers reportedly got in through older controllers. In France, the controller maker said many devices were obsolete or ran outdated firmware. Raise the temperature overnight and the food rots. "You can't unspoil food," one professor said.
It did not start today. 3 weeks ago hackers raised freezers at more than 350 sites in France to as high as 50°C. There were fires. Intermarché's CEO put the cost at "tens of millions of euros nationwide in a single day." Sources suspect Russian involvement there. No group has claimed it. That same day an analyst said Spain, Portugal, Poland, Germany and Belgium were affected too.
Covid emptied the shelves. Nobody is calling this a crisis yet. But the Financial Times already puts the ruined food at millions of euros.
Officials say the Pentagon is treating late-August freezer failures on US military bases as a suspected hack. At least 6 base stores were hit. Army investigators are working with French law enforcement.
5 countries in one day. 11 countries named since August.
Share this. Everyone should know about it.

DSA candidate Tim Denson tries to sell the crowd on “democratizing the workplace” and says Walmart should belong to the workers.
Big mistake. The guy 6 ft away from him grew up in Venezuela. And he’s heard this communist fairy tale before.
DANIEL DI MARTINO: “So you want to take it [Walmart] from its owners and have the workers do what?”
TIM DENSON: “I want the workers to own it and get paid better and have better benefits and be able to provide better lives for their families.”
DI MARTINO: “We can buy shares in Walmart right now. In fact, all of the SpaceX workers became millionaires overnight.”
“You can start a workers’ cooperative right now. It’s legal, but under a socialist country, you’re not allowed to own your own property and start your own private corporation.”
Denson tried to refute Di Martino’s point. Then Di Martino dropped this line on him:
DI MARTINO: “It’s very easy to be a socialist in a capitalist country. It’s illegal to be a capitalist in a socialist country. That is the difference.”
[audience applause]
Then it got personal:
DI MARTINO: “When I had to go to the grocery store, Tim, I had to put my fingerprint in a scanning machine so that they would tell me what I was allowed to purchase.”
“And I could only go Mondays and Saturdays because we have to ration food, because that’s what happens when there’s no profit motive and the farmers, their food is confiscated because they had to sell it to the government and everybody else at the price the government tells the farmers.”
“My mom made chocolate bonbons for parties.”
“Well, people have a right to chocolate, so we had a price control on chocolate.”
“So my mom had to buy counterfeit chocolate, put it in black bags as if we were cocaine drug dealers. That’s what socialism was in Venezuela. That’s what worker ownership of the means of production is.”
“Where has it ever worked?”
Denson had no answer. Because there isn’t one.

🚨 JOHN SOLOMON JUST HIT THE MOTHERLODE. 🚨
NSA intercepts from 2022 just DROPPED.
Ukrainian officials + Biden’s own USAID insiders in Kyiv were caught discussing a plan to take HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of YOUR tax dollars — money meant for “clean energy” — and launder 90% of it straight into Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign and the DNC.
Fake infrastructure projects. Layered U.S. subcontractors. Designed so no one could follow the money.
This wasn’t aid. This was a slush fund.
They built biolabs with stolen American money… then they tried to steal the election with the rest of it.
Tulsi Gabbard is now hunting the records. Criminal referrals are on the table.
The same people who called YOU a “threat to democracy” were running a foreign money-laundering operation against you.
Was the entire Ukraine war just the biggest Democrat money-laundering scheme in history?
Watch Solomon drop the receipts. Then share this like your country depends on it. 🇺🇸🔥

15 of 15 New York Social Adult Daycares audited yesterday showed no record of a single meal, activity, or hour of supervision — just attendance sheets.
These daycares are receiving millions from our Medicaid system and providing NOTHING in return —this is FRAUD!
"Sign in sheets already had things filled out for tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday—they're already pre-filling out sheets and billing for people who haven't shown up yet!" —@CMSGov Deputy Administrator Dan Brillman

🤖 Made with AI
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Remember President Ronald Reagan’s speech at the Berlin Wall’s Brandenburger Gate in 1987 when he slipped in the line: “Mr. Gorbachev… tear down this wall.”
Many of Reagan’s advisors and staff told him: “You can’t say that.”

🇺🇸🇸🇦🇦🇪 The U.S. just told Americans in 12 Middle East countries to be ready for cancelled flights, closed airspace and sudden changes to their travel plans.
The alerts cover Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Israel and Iran, warning that hostilities could spread and that Iran and its allies may target U.S. interests, including American businesses.
They also flag Houthi strikes on Saudi airports and infrastructure, and Americans are being told to keep a low profile and steer clear of crowds and anywhere tied to the U.S.
The alerts don’t mean airports are shutting down, but when Washington’s travel warning reads like a map of the whole region, maybe hold off on that Gulf getaway.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin said she wants “signature cases” against the people who enabled Trump so young graduates will decide working in the administration might buy them a ton of problems and just stay away. She’s calling it a deterrence message. She’s not talking about anyone accused of a crime. She’s talking about kids fresh out of college choosing whether to take a job in a lawfully elected administration. That’s the plan.
AND Magazine - America’s News Defenders retweeted
🚨 ELISSA SLOTKIN JUST SAID THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD AT UCHICAGO.
The Michigan senator told a room full of students she wants to go after "the people who enabled" Trump, not just Trump himself.
Then she spelled out the goal. She doesn't want young people thinking a job in the Trump administration "sounds fun."
She wants them saying, "Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems."
Her words: "I want that deterrence message."
So a sitting U.S. senator wants to scare kids out of serving their own country because she doesn't like who won.
That's not democracy. That's intimidation.

Israeli company Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and U.S. firearms manufacturer SIG SAUER have completed a live-fire test of the “FIRE STORM 250,” a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) drone armed with an M250 light machine gun.
During the test, the drone reportedly hovered over a simulated battlefield, identified targets using its onboard camera and engaged them in single-shot and semi-automatic firing modes. According to IAI, the trials also assessed the system’s accuracy and built-in safety features.
The M250 machine gun is mounted on SIG SAUER’s remotely operated MICROLIGHT weapon station. The combined weight of the station, gun and ammunition is approximately 24 kg (53 lb). The drone can reportedly remain airborne for up to three hours while carrying 200 rounds of ammunition.
The system provides operators with live video, target tracking and fire-control information. A human operator must authorize every shot before the weapon can fire.

More than 2,500 Tyson employees were told they are being laid off and will be receiving final paychecks. Tyson made the decision to close its Joslin, Illinois beef processing plant
Workers arriving for shifts were directed to the cafeteria and given letters confirming the permanent shutdown
“Tyson told shareholders they expect losses around $650 million this fiscal year in its beef processing sector alone. Company officials claim cattle shortages and high livestock costs are to blame for that massive loss. But that reasoning doesn't do much for the workers who now only have a few weeks to find where their next paycheck is coming from”
Tyson cited “one of the most historic cattle shortages the country has ever experienced.” Recent USDA data showed supplies will stay low. The U.S. cattle herd is near a 75 year low
As the workers came in the scene was described as chaos, yelling, crying and a sense of betrayal from long term employees
Beef prices have gone up roughly 80% just since 2016
Pretty ironic that beef prices skyrocket and there is a cow shortage as soon as globalists start their push towards not wanting us to eat beef…. This is all coordinated

Two economists mathematically proved that AI will destroy the economy.
Researchers from Wharton and Boston University published a terryfiying paper called "The AI Layoff Trap."
They mapped out the economic end-game of the AI transition, and it exposes a fatal flaw in competitive capitalism.
When a company replaces a worker with AI, it captures 100% of the wage savings.
But that displaced worker is also a consumer. When they lose their job, they stop buying things.
The company gets all the savings, but the loss of consumer demand is spread across the entire economy.
If there are 20 competitors in a market, a CEO only absorbs 1/20th of the economic damage their layoffs just created.
So every single rational CEO has a mathematical incentive to automate as fast as possible.
They can literally see the cliff approaching, and they still step on the gas.
It triggers an unavoidable Prisoner’s Dilemma. If you don't automate, your competitors will, and they will crush you on price.
It doesn't just hurt workers. It destroys the businesses, too.
The economy gets trapped in an automation arms race. Companies fire their workforce to stay competitive, until the entire consumer base is completely hollowed out.
At the limit, the paper concludes: “Firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand.”
And the scariest part?
The researchers mathematically tested every popular fix.
Universal Basic Income? Fails. It raises the living standard but doesn't change the corporate incentive to cut jobs. Retraining? Fails. Worker equity? Fails.
The paper proves that more competition actually makes the collapse happen faster. And "better" AI makes the damage worse.
The only thing that mathematically stops the collapse is a targeted automation tax, forcing companies to pay for the purchasing power they destroy before they automate the job.
