After NBC's Peter Alexander pressed Jen Psaki on why have we seen two massive cyber attacks on a gas pipeline and now meatpacking since Biden took office, Fox's Peter Doocy gives it a shot and wonders why are these happening now.

Sounds like a foot forward.
George Soros Gets A COVID Loan
Authored by Chris Farrell via The Gatestone Institute,
In March, the Small Business Administration gave a $234,548 Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) “loan” to George Soros’s East-West Management Institute (EWMI)
The official description of the transaction is “to aid small businesses in maintaining workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic”, but federal grants and contracts to EWMI (its primary source of revenue) rose from $9,185,194 in FY 2019 to $14,859,293 in 2020. EWMI previously received a $226,179 PPP loan in May of 2020. As a supposedly small business struggling through the pandemic, EWMI enjoys office space at 575 Madison Avenue in New York City and 1101 Connecticut Ave NW in Washington, DC.
In November 2018, Judicial Watch published a special report, “The Financial and Staffing Nexus Between the Open Society Foundations and the United States Government.” The 28-page report is scrupulously documented with 154 footnotes citing to primary source records. A key take-away from the report concerning the activities of EWMI is that the organization manages projects for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a nominally independent component of the U.S. State Department.
For those interested, EWMI maintains a web page with documentation concerning their non-profit status and their financial statements. You can also view their self-described “Donors and Partners” who, evidently, were not able or willing to “loan” money to EWMI for paycheck protection. The list of donors and partners is quite remarkable — from the World Bank to Romania’s Justice Ministry, among many others. It makes one wonder why American taxpayers had to cover the PPP “loan.” It reminds one of Senator William Proxmire’s (D-WI) “Golden Fleece Award” for squandering the American public’s money.
Granted, with the Biden administration and Congressional “leadership” meeting last month week to discuss a $2.3 trillion infrastructure bill (officially known as the American Jobs Plan) — it seems a little tough to get excited about a “loan” of $234,548. The exact dollars and cents total, however, is not the point.
We need to ask ourselves how “the system” — our government — facilitates this sort of racket without checks or oversight.
Harvard University can be publicly shamed into returning COVID relief money, but a Soros group gets a pass? Why the disparity of treatment and accountability?
What is the rationale?
Think about it: a Soros-backed operation that manages a big chunk of the State Department’s international development operations, pretending it is like any other American “small business,” was seeking paycheck protection subsidies because of COVID. It is an insult. It is grotesque.

I saw that. I remember reading about her when she quit her job.
lol, I do love that man. One of the few I’d like to have lunch with.
That’s very interesting, thanks for posting.
There are NO words that I can utter that wouldn’t get me kicked off FR!

There was not even one reporter today in the press pool who had the courage to ask the White House about Fauci’s emails.
Olivia Troye is a former career intelligence professional who served as Vice President Mike Pence’s Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor, as well as his lead staffer on the White House Coronavirus Task Force. She is now director of the Republican Accountability Project.

The referred to article.
Good development!
just like last attack, blaming it on private sector entities. The commie basturds would like to nationalize them and then shut them down.
I saw a report that said it wasn’t sure if it was ransomware or other kind of attack. I lean towards ecoterrorism.
Where’s Kim dotcom when you need him? Since he said Seth Rich was the source of DNC leaks, not Russia, he’s probably Censored here.
Good news.
Sickening what they’ve gotten away with (the STEALERS), to date.

Probably the same way they "won" the 2020 election.
The attack comes just days after Massachusetts lifted its COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and mask mandate and right at the start of the state’s summer tourism season.
What do you think the font is on the vegetable’s teleprompter?
some big meme
Exactly!
