Tonight, Wednesday evening starting at 11 pm Pacific Time Coast to Coast Radio host George Noory will be discussing the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) with Pat Showalter, Celeste Bishop and Katherine Albrecht. They will be talking about how NAIS would hurt small family farmers, homesteaders and pet owners. Ultimately consumers would pay the price as food choice becomes limited and prices go up when control of our national food supply is consolidated into the hands of fewer and fewer large corporate factory farms.

Trading safety for liberty, leaves you with neither. Because people are so afraid to die, they will give away any amount of freedom they have, to lower the chance of an early grave. The citizens of this country do not resemble those in Iraq fighting for us. I wonder if they will recognize the very thing they are fighting for, when they return.

[Calpernia]

Who is trading liberty? No one has voted for this.

Celeste is one of the contributors to nationalpropertyowners.org

FYI if you can tune in tonight.

Thanks for the ping.

We elect those, that appoint those, that implement these "rules". No one is responsible, just the system ma'am. I agree that no one asked if we wanted our animals tracked, but they did ask us to buy a license for our cat or dog. Then they got us to spay or neuter our animals, or pay higher license fees. We went along, now dogs and cats are not cheap to buy, and they come with a chip....to make it easier for you to find your loved pet of course. Now that we are used to the micro-chips, the bill comes due. Control of animal ownership, next up, human movement. Probably sold to us under the guise of fixing the immigration problem.

[Calpernia]

We elect those? You apparantly haven't followed any of the voter fraud threads we have here.

[jeremiah]

Now you have me really depressed, I had shoved that portion of my disbelief into the basement. I live in WA and know fraud, we were shown how it was done in the governors race. Now this state is in a race to socialist hell.

[Calpernia]

My state is blue too.

Hence the fighting of the socialist hell.

[jeremiah]

That would make an excellent tv commercial for the Republicans. announcer with sad face Are YOU in a blue state? cut to picture of people milling around a poll station, a few red faces, but mostly blue Vote Republican, put some spring in your step, and red blood in your veins. Scene of people in a winning teams sports arena, with losers being blue faced You too can become a red blooded American. Make the RIGHT choice, vote red, the color of America.

[Calpernia]

You need to go work on the RNC.

[jeremiah]

I would, but I may be a bit of a K.O.O.K. by their standards. When the MSM started calling R=red and D=blue, I couldn't figure out the response of complaining. It is a PR coup. Simply use their words against them. Blue blood Dems like Kennedy, Red Blood Republicans like Ronald Reagan, or Schwarzeneggar. Image is everything, who wants to be associated with caviar, champagne and a girlfriend whose nickname is "Buffy"? Buffy, oh Buffy, would you be a deah and bring me some grey poupon? Or Cal, cal honey, bring me another sixer of Sam Adams,(of course an American icon) the guys are hungry Not to belittle the female in the line, but something along the lines of normal American life, as opposed to upper crust snobs. Kinda like the transformation of Ackroyd in "Trading Places". Make the Dems the party of the stock traders, and the R's the party group, with emphasis of keeping the govt out of your bedroom, barroom and life.

Blurblogger had some good posts about the red and blue.

Recap
Govt. Tracking: RFID & NAIS
Consumer privacy expert Katherine Albrecht, joined by activists Pat Showalter and Celeste Bishop in hour two, spoke out against the National Animal Identification System (NAIS), a USDA plan to track farm animals using RFID chips. Showalter and Bishop, who both own animals in a small scale, non-commercial capacity, said the new regulations are very burdensome for small farmers. For instance, the "Premises Identification" part of the plan requires owners to report any movements or visitors of the animals, even in the case of a few chickens and goats. The cost and time for such monitoring is prohibitive and also an invasion of their privacy, they argued.

Technology is being used to clamp down and control food in general, said Albrecht, who compared the NAIS plan to the tracking done with grocery loyalty cards, and the efforts to restrict farmers' rights to seeds. In regards to the NAIS, she hoped that small farmers will refuse to comply with the plan, as she believes it does nothing to make the food supply safer (the stated goal of the program), and it discourages self-sufficiency.

Further, the RFID chips, used to track the animals, and recently introduced in passports, are susceptible to hackers who can infect large databases with malicious viruses, she pointed out. The bigger picture is that the government is seeking a top down control of the populace on a global level, and there is "a move afoot to number everything and everyone," said Albrecht. However, she finds that US citizens are more prone to resisting these efforts than Europeans, and that the NAIS may be the issue that wakes people up.
