While millions of Americans are struggling to feed their families, President and Mrs. Obama have thrown 170 parties costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million dollars and have served such delicacies as Wagyu beef, at an obscene cost of $100 to $150 a pound, according to a special investigation done by GLOBE MAGAZINE. Was Henry Kissinger prescient when he said, “If you control the food supply, you control the people?”
Just consider several troubling governmental actions concerning our food and water resources. The US House of Representatives quietly passed HR 2749, that if confirmed by the Senate and signed into law by the President, would empower the FDA to control and regulate how our crops are grown and harvested.
Euphemistically called Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009, this proposed new law would regulate and tax our small farmers and local food producers but apparently would not address needed regulation for the large agribusiness industry.
Why are authorities not investigating what would happen if lab terminator seeds pollinate with the replicating seeds our grandparents used to gather for spring planting?
A second initiative by UN organizations seeks to regulate what Americans eat and drink with the attempted passage of very draconian food code laws called Codex Alimentarius. According to Robert Singer’s research, this Codex program began in l962 in the UN Food and Agricultural and World Health Organizations. He said while Codex’s stated mission is to protect consumer health, it may well present the greatest disaster ever for America’s food supply. He warns if not stopped, Codex is “likely to be implemented in 2011.” Fortunately courageous action by Dr. Rima E. Laibow M.D. and others at HealthFreedomUSA.org blocked implementation of Codex in the U.S. at the end of 2009. Our use of vitamins, herbals, minerals and supplements would be sharply limited

I find it fascinating that NEITHER Cantwell OR Murray of Washington voted “yes” on this.....both hard-core Dems.
Thats because this was a House bill and they are Senators..
the first ones to go down will be the small, organic, “buy local” farmers that the fringe left seems to worship. LOL!
That’s because Murray and Cantwell are in the Senate, not the house.
My Congresscritter, Nathan Deal, voted for it, too.
He’s a pretty reliable conservative. Gotta wonder what’s up. Maybe he’s friends with Monsanto?
You’ll see the same name in a list of yea votes under a post about the same Bill in August.

"Needed regulation for the large agribusiness industry?"
Is the author serious? A conservative publication in favor of more government regulation of industry? Good grief.
They both have to go!
Barney Frank and “suck” are synonomous. It is what he does in his romantic moments.
Those buying ammo & guns better be storing food as well.
If you have enough to last 6-12 months, you have buffer time to plan on what to do to counter any lockdown that the fascists have planned.
That’s what I get for posting without a cup of coffee in my hand.
I’ll go slap myself several times in penance.
Sorry.
This must be one of the FIRST bills repealed under a Conservative congress.
Don’t confuse this bill with the STOP H.R. 875
Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009. That’s the one that takes over the food chain. 4/23/2009 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry.
Well don’t feel bad, maybe we can remove one of them from
office next Nov.
What this means is that local food prices will be going WAY UP. They are trying to destroy small farm businesses.
From now on, if you grow some tomatoes in your yard, you will not be able to sell them at a farmers market or road-side stand.
BACHMANN????
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Shocks the L out of me....disappointed, very disappointed.
Hope DeMint doesn’t do any stupid stuff. Bachmann and DeMint are my favorites.
Quoting from another farmer thread:
“Thomas Jefferson said he didn’t think we could have democracy unless at least 20% of the population was self-supporting on small farms so they were independent enough to be able to tell an oppressive government to stuff it. It is very difficult to control people who can create products without purchasing inputs from the system, who can market their products directly thus avoiding the involvement of mercenary middlemen, who can butcher animals and preserve foods without reliance on industrial conglomerates, and who can’t be bullied because they can feed their own faces.” (unquote)
It’s about controlling the countryside which has obvious tactical advantages. It’s about rural cleansing so the Obama/Waxman/Dingle/etc. can get control to rule.
“Americans will trade guns for food.”
No. The first bastard that says I can’t grow a garden will be shot. And so on down the line.
If you go to the grocery store this week, check out the tabloid called THE GLOBE -- they stated that it was ten million dollars worth of "booze parties" at a very inebriated White House with drunken conga lines and other similar shennanigans.
