I alerted those of you in rural America on my email list a few weeks ago that the Obama administration was targeting you in particular. HR 875 has been on my radar this week, I just haven’t gotten around to alerting you to it. There is so much outrage every day (like the GIVE act that conscripts our children into forced “volunteerism”) that sometimes I feel like I’m flooding your inboxes….but let me tell you, this is no time to be concerned about how much email you’re getting. These people in power are drunk with it, and if we don’t stop this madness NOW, we will be consigning ourselves and our children to slavery.

When you think about it, it won’t matter if the socialists don’t manage outlaw your guns if they gain control of your food supply, will it? While the purported purpose of this bill is to increase food safety, a noble goal, this bill is written so vaguely as to criminalize even family gardens if the “food tsar” so determines. Punishments? Million dollar fines, seizure of your property, 10 years in prison. Sound familiar? Well, it worked for Stalin. Ask the Ukraine. (Go read the whole thing.)

And please keep in mind that the SPONSOR OF THIS BILL, (Rosa DeLauro, D-CT) is married to Stanley Greenburg, a former lobbyist for Monsanto. That was 10 years ago, but I think it is legitimate to question whether or not Mr. Greenburg maintains ties, even socially, to Monsanto.

I believe this is all about driving small, family farms out of business and big AG controlling the food supply…I don’t think it is really about “food safety”. Remember, Rahm Emmanuel let the cat out of the bag when he said, “Never let a crisis go to waste”. Using the high-profile food safety cases in the media recently to justify this power grab is a demonstration of that principle in action.

I compiled the following links for more information…some of them have great debates with the PR guy for Monsanto chiming in, along with organic activists who believe genetically-modified food is destructive. I personally don’t have a problem with genetically modified food on principle. I think this is more about money and control. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the Clinton years and am now again reminded, “FOLLOW THE MONEY“.

Decide for yourself if this doesn’t lay the groundwork for collectivization of farms and the food supply.
