Tagging all Farm Animals.
What in the world is wrong with America? We need to remind the bureaucrats that this country belongs to the people not Big Business. This is How America works today. A company developed a tiny micro chips and the geeks that developed it want to make millions, the American dream, right? Will they try selling it to the public and get a few sales but nothing big. In a true free market economic the company loses money and changes products to stay in business. Today the big business runs to the Federal government donates millions to the correct Congressman or Senator and a law or policy change to make it mandatory that all farm animals must have the chip. Ahh, millions most likely billions for the geeks that developed the chip.
This policy has nothing at all to do with food safety if the Federal government really care about your food safety they would make it mandatory that all GM foods had a 10 year case study on rats and mice to ensure it was safe for human consumption. Does the Federal government require testing on GM foods? No ? You and your family are the human guinea pigs.
Back to the latest control over farmers http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/guest/2007/hl_01301.shtml
The Liberty Ark Coalition says this is a myth, because:
“Mad Cow disease is not contagious, takes years to develop, and is completely preventable. NAIS is designed to do only one thing: provide 48-hour trace-back of animal movements. This is simply not relevant to protecting our food supply from Mad Cow disease. Moreover, the USDA has stated that it estimates that there are only four to seven (4-7) cows in the entire U.S. that have BSE, or Mad Cow Disease, and that it’s not even necessary to conduct testing to protect our food supply. Indeed, the USDA refuses to allow a U.S. company, Creekstone Farms & Premium Beef, to voluntarily test all of its cattle for BSE, in order to satisfy its customers’ wishes. If BSE is not enough of a threat to justify (or even allow) testing, then certainly it cannot be the basis for requiring millions of animals to be electronically tagged and their every move tracked.”
Once again if the Feds are so worry about the safety of food supply WHY???? Are they not allowing testing for Mad cow disease? This is typical government tactics first allow the free market to work. That failed try to make it mandatory? Huge public outcry? Next, give excuses like it is not mandatory but voluntary, more public outcry? Next attempt, offer an opt out but still hang on to the idea. Allow me to explain how this outrage is going to take place. First it will be voluntary with an opt out. Next step will be mandatory but still people will not comply. Next step will be mandatory with fines and the final step will be mandatory or we seize your farm.
Lets hear it for the government bureaucrats creating more jobs for themselves. Lets look at an example how government works. Everyone should be familiar with seat belt laws. At first no cars had seat belts, then seat belts were installed. You had the right to wear or not wear them free choice. Will the insurance company notice that in accidents folks that wore seat belts cost them less in hospital bills so the insurance company try giving a better rate for those people who choose to wear seat belts. Not enough people were doing it so once again the Big Insurance companies donate to the correct polictions to get a law pass to make it mandatory to wear seat belts. But the cops could not pull you over to write you a ticket you had to be stopped for another reason. Now several states change the law again to the cops can now pull you over if you are not wearing seat belts. But believe me that still will not be good enough for the insurance companies. The final step will be to give the cops the authority to toss you in jail for not wearing your seat belt.
I don’t want to get into a big debate over why it is good to wear seat belts. I agree for your own safety seat belts are a good choice. But what bothers me is taking away the Freedom of Choice. Once the Feds or States get away with this outrage they take what they learned and keep applying it to our whole lives. Who knows once this is shove down the throats of farmers the next step is all dogs and cats then at last all people. Stand up and be a good American write your Congressman, Senator and FDA, USDA, raise heck until they listen, write letter to the editor, call in talk radio, call into C-Span. Stated loud and clear your are sick and tired of supporting freedom stealing bureaucrats.
Until next time sight in your rifle, never stop learning and keep your powder dry.

What is this nonsense about the people owning America? You know the international banks bought the nation for a line of credit in 1913. From the homeless to the president, all are slaves on the great plantation. The slaves can influence the taskmasters, but just barely, because they take their instruction from the plantation owners and their corporate agents.
Yes, liberty is infringed gradually to prevent resistance and it works well. We trade our right to travel by any means for an operator’s licemse to operate motor vehicles or airplanes and agree to obey all regulations of the licemsing authority.
We authorize the state to withhold God’s tithe, which is supposed to support the poor as a condition of employment.
This makes all who agree to this condition worshippers and servants of mammon who own nothing and rent everything.
This kind of pretentious self talk is the reason the truth is so hard to find in America.

There may be something more insidious about the mandatory registering, micro-chipping, and tracking of farm animals. Texas has proposed mandatory registering of all properties where horses or any livestock are kept.
If the government proposed building a database to tag and track human movements there (hopefully) would be a huge outcry against it - at least by those who won’t fall for the “we have to do it to protect you from terrorists” propaganda.
If the government builds a database to tag and track animals to “protect us from Mad Cow disease” there won’t be much of a reaction. And once that system is built and refined it can easily be used to track humans. Might this be another “real” reason behind this plan?
History provides many lessons. Computers were used to efficiently locate the people killed at Auschweitz. Mandatory identification facilitated the genocide carried out in Rwanda. (Many who were killed carried both Tutsis and Hutus blood and were arbitrarily identified as one or the other. Death by a flip of the coin?) Ethnic Supremacists may be very interested in genetic testing that determines who has non-white blood. (Those results are going to surprise MANY people.)
Another example is the propaganda about Bird Flu. Remember how the government got rid of the Indian “problem”? They killed off their food supply and intentionally spread smallpox. The Bird Flu is perfect for doing both: eliminating many people’s food supply and spreading a pandemic via vaccinations. (There is plenty of evidence that has been done before and is still being done today.)
Not that long ago many Americans grew their own food and worked for themselves. Few do both today. Even those who do will find it more and more difficult to keep genetically engineered hybrid seeds from contaminating their crops. (Hybrids are usually sterile, forcing you to buy more seed instead of using part of the current year’s crop to replant.)
Wake up America while you can. The window of opportunity to foist these actions upon us is now while so many are still unaware. Open your eyes, change your focus, and change the World while there is still time.

Regarding the seat belt issue. You wrote: “The final step will be to give the cops the authority to toss you in jail for not wearing your seat belt.” That final step is already reality in Texas. It seems that state is the testing ground for oppressive law enforcement and creative taxation without representation.
The Supreme Court has ruled that Americans can be jailed for minor offenses: http://archives.cnn.com/2001/LAW/04/24/scotus.arrest.03/index.html
Here’s the official ABC News schoolteacher seatbelt story as reported on television: http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dws/wfaa/latestnews/stories/wfaa060902_jfh_teacherjailed.5e498fbd.html

Grandmother jailed for refusing to sign ticket that said she wasn’t wearing her seat belt when she WAS wearing it but incorrectly.

Many may not realize that many prisons are profit-generating privately owned businesses. The more “guests” the higher the profits. Seat belt tickets and red light tickets are both new taxes without representation.

I agree with what Ed said, the country was sold and so were we and the New Deal put the final frosting in place. We are all property.Check your birth certifiate, indeed any official document and your name is printed in capital letters. Even wondered why? Look into it my fellow slaves. Democracy is supposed to be a majority rule, but we are run by a minority, the hard part is figuring out who “they” are exactly. All this crap is just going to escalate and unless people figure out some of the basic truths regarding our collective reality, many are in for an extremely rude awakening in the next few years.
Good Luck
