I have heard about this as well. It would seem that unless Obamanation gives its approval, self sufficiency is to be discouraged, and in some cases outlawed. It’s the government way or the highway.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he is. He wants everyone in the country to be dependent upon his regime for their survival.
Didn’t know this, but it fits their M.O.
They are after anything they don’t control. They are after anyone they don’t control.
Charity hospitals are in their cross-hairs to be shut down. Food networks, similarly. So this makes perverse sense.
They’re trying to find out who the preppers are.
Socialist dictators usually go after anyone who is stockpiling anything, and call it “hoarding”.
So as things deteriorate, as rule of law deteriorates, expect them to go after preppers of every stripe.
Do LDS canneries empower individual Americans and make them less dependent on the Collective?
Why is Obama’s government going after the LDS Church and its charity? Because Obama believes that “Charity” is wholly owned by the government and that churches have not right to participate. The government uses “charity” to gain votes to keep it in power. thus control of “charity” must be taken from individuals and churches.
Reduces depemdency. Machine runs on desperation.
Eliminate rival stabilizing influences...
I thought Harry “@ss” Reid had Dumbo’s ear?
It is essential to socialism that government must control all means of production, directly or indirectly. The reason for this is that the source of their power comes from rationing everything of value. Anything produced otherwise, or available in abundance, can be used as an “alternative currency”, and undermine the absolute power of government.
As far as this LDS operation goes, it is a major target both because it can produce and distribute at large scale, in ways outside of government management and control.
As such, it can provide food for people the government does not want fed, and do so in such quantity that it can undermine government imposed artificial shortages.
The word "Church" is the first clue.
I say this sadly w/ no hyperbole: the soviets had it a lot better for at least they knew exactly what they had and what they were dealing with. In this fundamental transformation of obaminatin, everyone is either so FU lost cause already or so in shock of what is happening that an almost denial stupor has taken hold of the country. No one wants to believe that the monster staring them in the face is real, even amongst the right and conservatives.
I was so stupid, I thought freedom was so well-fortified and indestructible in this country, but it is rather so very vulnerable and exposed. Look what one wretched puny community organizer has been able to do.
Unfortunately, this is not new news.
We have been canning at a location in Georgia for the past 3 years and were told last visit that all future canning would be centralized (out of Ogden?).
If purchases were to made after sometime around the new year, we couldn’t save a little money by canning ourselves. Rather, we could only buy pre-canned and packaged items.
So, not a total loss, but certainly another regulatory intrusion by the nanny state which always knows what’s best for the little folks.
It seems to be the favorite pastime of many on FReeRepublic to castigate and denigrate Mormons. However, I have long admired their industriousness and planning for times of privation. Would that we all could find a co-op group to work with to plan the canning/drying/storing of excess food for times of hardship for ourselves and others. We could all learn so much from the practicing Mormons beyond religion.
control medical, control electricity and fuel, control food
yeah, this is the left’s method of operation.
This is all true. Mr. GG2 although not LDS has become quite acquainted with the local cannery in our area. He has helped out at the cannery and we have purchased food there. It is open to the public not just LDS. The prices are incredibly reasonable.
Due to the increased FDA interference the cannery is going to phase out the can it yourself process and go to pre=canned sales only over the next several mos. This is all very deliberate targeting by the federal govt.
Our personal take on the whole thing is the govt does not want the public to be too prepared. A prepared family in hiding who does not have to crawl to the govt distribution center is a loose canon.
Interested placemark.
Stalin did it with police, dogs and barbed wire... while literally millions died in the Ukrainian Holodomor of 1932-1933. Obama is putting the first steps in plkace with the EPA, USDA and FDA.
I hate this tyranny.
These Nazi tactics have got to stop.
Tell the bastards they can’t make up rules and then charge you with a violation.
As for “client lists”, screw you! Folks show up and we don’t keep tabs on them.
