Investigating agribusiness will soon be a crime

States Making It a Crime to Investigate Agribusiness Abuses - Truthdig

Quote:
Several states, including Minnesota, Iowa and Florida, are considering legislation that would make it a felony for activists and journalists to carry out undercover investigations of agribusiness operations, punishable by up to 30 years in prison. Kansas and Montana already have similar laws in place.

...

—A bill proposed by Florida state senator Jim Norman (R-FL) would make it a first-degree felony to photograph a farm without written permission from the owner. The bill is currently in the criminal justice committee of the state senate. The maximum prison time for a first-degree felony in Florida is 30 years.

in food inc they go out and interview a canadian farmer who didn't use monsanto's round up ready products and then a truck delivering round up seed wrecked and mixed in with his crop, reps/insurance agents/etc working for monsanto came to the dudes farm and shut him down for copyright infringement, the only way to find out his field was contaminated was for them to spray his whole farm with round up...The dude faced all kinds of charges for the negligence of a delivery man...

Why tell that story, but for the simple reason that if people weren't able to come to his farm and take illegal pictures and spray his farm illegally he would have been spared the enormous head ache of having to fight the biggest corp in agribusiness...altho ugh it is written to protect the very corps that i mentioned, it may be able to be used against them when they come try to shut down/buy out what few independent farmers are left...

Question: Does this also mean that there cannot be any tests of radiation(from fukushima) on our farm lands? I mean, it has been proven that radiation is raining on our farmlands, apparently our food basket is already contaminated and congress is trying to illegalize agro tests? Shit...

Our society is showered with images of happy animals living on farms where the cows graze in lush green fields and the chickens have the run of the barnyard. This vision of free-roaming animals living out their days in sunny fields is very far from the reality. A majority of the animals that are raised for food live miserable lives in intensive confinement in dark, overcrowded facilities, commonly called "factory farms."


Factory farming is an attitude that regards animals and the natural world merely as commodities to be exploited for profit. In animal agriculture, this attitude has led to institutionalized animal cruelty, massive environmental destruction and resource depletion, and animal and human health risks.

Humans Suck, Fuck Frankenfoods

If anything is abundantly clear it's the fact that humans can not be trusted. That moneysluts require supervision and most assuredly we need checks and balances. For our own survival. Every time we try to improve on nature we fuck it up. Kellogg's dust bowl of cereal and the TV dinner fast fud and now GE crap. Replacing ethanol and methanol with gas and diesel. OPEC plastic took Hemp plastic off the market. Destroying forests when Hemp has more cellulose and greater tensile strength for lumber. No testing on Ganja they say, when it has been tested more than any plant. Plenty of testing on chemical manipulations they say. Lying sacks of dog shit. Nukes, aspartame or monsanto saccharin. The hundreds of wars and the century of the ever present insanity of the Ganjawar., Feds can patent cannabinoids. Bayer and Barthwell can patent sublingual sprays. Now surprise, the DEAth is lowering the narcotic classification of THC. Legalizing Big Pharma to sell sublingual whole plant extracts but not homegrown whole plant extracts to smoke or vape from the privacy of your own garden. Top priority is met, Hemp and Ganja will remain prohibited. Perpetuating the sales and service to the Ganjawar or selling synthetics for treating illness and the side effects of the treatments. Can we use the "F" word yet? Fascists!



The FDA has their own copshops and more power than many realize. They also go after herbs, roots and leaves of non psychoactive plants. If it ain't white powder its renewable competition.

The FDA vs Raw Milk and the Constitution

The FDA essentially believes that nobody has the right to choose what to eat or drink. You are only “allowed” to eat or drink what the FDA gives you permission to. There is no inherent right or God-given right to consume any foods from nature without the FDA’s consent.

This is no exaggeration. It’s exactly what the FDA said in its own words.

You have no natural right to food

Big Dairy behind push to eliminate raw milk

This is the FDA trying to run rampant over States’ rights. The federal government, after all, isn’t satisfied to exercise control over the limited powers granted to it by the U.S. Constitution — it wants to overthrow the tenth Amendment and dictate rules, regulations and laws that the states are being forced to follow.

This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forbids the federal government from intruding on the laws of individual states, and is only allowed to wield powers expressly granted to it by the Constitution (powers granted by the People, in other words).

"Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system."
~ Dorothy Day

In the RAW

In an exclusive interview with Good Times,
Robert Anton Wilson reflects on a world gone mad

GT: Concerning the battle between the states and the feds over medical marijuana?

RAW: The 10th Amendment says very clearly that powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution are reserved to the states and the people. It seems very clear that 55 percent of the voters in California voted to let me have marijuana for my leg pains and the state agreed, but then the Attorney General of the United States said, “Well that doesn’t count.” States have no rights. The people have no rights.




Underground cities with bowling alley's and Mickey d's, similar to the underground city beneath Disney World. Or rumors of the one in Denver. I was told of an underground retreat for the dignitaries in DC by the engineer of the project. That was 10 years ago. Yucca mountain and the tunnel under the English Channel or SF Bay bart system tells me we have the technology. I'm sure the government would be happy to tell us as they've proven their loyalty concerning the truth about Ganja. It definitely is with Wallmart Street, not us. If the earth had only 300 million people there would be no crises for resources or food. Enough labor for the infrastructure and manageable waste. Oh ya but it's a demockery I forgot. Fuck Hempseed wez got Soylent Green...



Soylent Green is a 1973 American science fiction film directed by Richard Fleischer. Starring Charlton Heston, the film overlays the police procedural and science fiction genres as it depicts the investigation into the brutal murder of a wealthy businessman in a dystopian future suffering from pollution, overpopulation, depleted resources, poverty, dying oceans and a hot climate due to the greenhouse effect. Much of the population survives on processed food rations, including "soylent green".
