Hey, thanks for tuning in to another episode of Unlimited Hangout. I'm your host, Whitney Webb.

For the past several years, warnings about a damaging cyber attack that will cripple critical

systems around the world have been steadily growing before becoming much more frequent in the past

one nation-state, with only U.S. adversaries listed as possibilities, that the attack will start off

small in one part of the world and then crescendo into a global catastrophe, and that ransomware will be

just this week that supply chains are, quote, imploding, along with recent statements from some of

the largest companies in the world, that prices are set to creep up for everything ranging from food

to electronics. Little attention has been paid to the extreme disruptions in supply chains,

particularly food supply chains over the past year by anyone in independent media, save for
