Dirty Food, Dirty PoliticsPosted in March 16th, 2009 by admin in Uncategorized

 

The following is an account of the NoNAISWA battle for food freedom in Washington State. There is more to the story but his will provide the reader with an overview of why you have tainted food and the dirty politics behind it.

 

Olympia, Washington-The National Animal Identification System a conspiracy theory? The largest food fight the world has ever known is taking place and the US government wants you to fall prey to the ultimate conspiracy! A little NAIS registration number here, and a little NAIS identification there, will ensure you have safe food. How is that? You have a property tax number and is that making your food safe? How could transforming your private property to a premises, removing all Constitutional protection, protect you from bad lettuce at the grocery store? Is your Drivers License a de facto talisman, defending you and your loved ones against deadly pathogens? You have a greater chance of dying from any medication or a physician mistake than of contracting a food borne illness, albeit there are Agri-Agencies wink-winking to make sure that risk grows higher so they reap the profits. Common sense tells you that where there is dirty food there is dirty politics, and that is no conspiracy theory.

 

In 2006 Missouri Assistant State Vet Dr. Terri Woods took to the air waves on The Power Hour with NoNAIS activist Doreen Hannes. The Talk Show Host asked the pivotal NAIS question, “Do you think the people opposing NAIS are conspiracy theorists?” The dirty little government secret they don’t want the public thinking about. Dr. Woods replied, “No…..everybody is entitled to their own opinion. They just need to talk to a few more people.” Talk to a few more people about NoNAIS is just what these activists across the country did. Day and night they have continued to inform the public on the dangers of NAIS which would eliminate food freedom in America and that Big Brother was looking down from the sky.

 

 

The war for food was on when NoNAIS activist Celeste Bishop took to the media in Washington State. Bishop asserts, “While it seems unfathomable and outrageous that our own government would resort to satellite imagery to monitor agriculture, it is a sad fact, but true. Why every person with half a brain knows that anyone can Google Earth and bring up someone else’s property. If you are a paid subscriber you can count trees and animals also”. In an article carried by the Snohomish Tribune on February 22, 2006 WSDA employee Chris Spaulding admitted that, “Bishop and pet owners like her could be potential glitches.” The USDA and the various state agencies tasked with implementing the program will focus on the largest food producers first, Spaulding said. But eventually, other animal owners may be ID’d and their animals tracked.” “Spaulding said ‘misinformation’ about the national program is circulating throughout the country,” and that “false information she (Bishop) has heard include the idea that each premise will be photographed from space to search for unidentified animals and people will be jailed if they don’t comply”. This statement was made as the USDA and partner WSDA was actively engaging in satellite surveillance using Terra Server. The information given was relayed to her by a NASS statistician who was very proud of the surveillance operation.

 

The very Terra Server utilized by the USDA website claims, “it is great for: commercial farmers, family farms, and ranchers. Satellite imagery provides the agriculture business with a means to monitor land from above. We update aerial imagery as soon as we receive it to ensure that you have the most up to date. Higher resolution imagery also allows you to see crop rows and can sometimes even allow you to see individual trees in tree farms and orchards. The imagery available from TerraServer will allow you to have a visual representation of your land that is only available from the sky.” In fact, on January 12, 2006 headlines splashed across the world that, “Satellite Images Used to Detect Crop Insurance Fraud” were used to hold a man accountable.

 

 

 

You are entering the life of Bishop an activist who seeks to protect your food from Agri- Agency which is the merger of multinational companies and governmental agencies. The Agri-Agencies are the ones trying to sell you and your local farmer on the National Animal Identification System, NAIS. What is the bottom line on the NAIS? Global Food Control. How did it begin? Dirty food, dirty politics.

 

 

 

Celeste carries her laptop and cell phone back to the bus which will transport her to her automobile which alternates between a farm vehicle and a NoNAIS Legislative Education Unit. As twilight sets in and shadows deepen, the Washington State Vet, barely perceptible, strolls back to the bowels of his Department of Agriculture with invigorated confidence. He had accomplished another successful day on Olympia Campus merging agriculture, governmental policy, and industry. The elderly Doc Eldridge was tall, lean, with a serious furrowed brow. Whenever he visits the Campus of We the People he wears his cowboy hat. He is known for his charm, suave charisma, and being the ideal gentleman. This is the USDA veterinarian model established to sway Congress and the people to accept experimentation with deadly pathogens at Plum Island. Supposedly this was meant to be a positive advancement in the eradication of disease and the elimination of poverty. This NoNAIS activist, an ordinary American grandmother, takes to the marbled halls to fight for food freedom. The State Vet and the NoNAIS activist nod to each other as night sets in, the food fight is escalating.

 

 

 

Since 2005 our food supply has become increasingly and obviously, even to a casual observer, very contaminated. Secret government contracts obtained under the Freedom of Information Act foretold a day when the food supply would become unsafe and the unwary public would ‘demand’ regulatory programs such as NAIS. As predicted, food contamination escalated and continues unchecked. The plea for safe and local foods resonates within the hearts of average Americans who have no clue as to the battle going on.

 

 

 

 

In recently written NAIS laws and regulations we are seeing the abused Emergency Clause, “For the protection of the health, safety, and welfare” we need to implement this draconian food control system, NAIS. The NAIS is one tool in the toolkit towards global food control. Whenever you see the term “for the health, safety, and welfare” let the reader understand that this is a suspension of your Constitutional rights for things such as your absolute right to property (ownership), referendum and redress. The year 2009 was, from the beginning, the target date for NAIS to become mandatory.

 

 

 

The National Animal Identification System (NAIS) was introduced to the public on Halloween, 2005. The system has three pillars:

 

 

 

Transform and register property into a premises which has no Constitutional protection.

Electronically identify animals even though the failure rate is high and scientific evidence has been suppressed linking the RFID and electronic devices with cancer.

And 24/7 surveillance, tracking, tracing of animals including the responsibility to electronically report to the Department of Agriculture each birth, death, movement, and commingling of animals on a pay-for-service basis.

 

Years before, USDA Director of the Plum Island Biological Warfare facility, relegated to an island off the contiguous United States for the protection of Americans against deadly pathogens, succinctly stated “It is tricky doing research on foreign animal disease, we must take a calculated risk, “Let’s do it!” Plum Island provided the USDA and Homeland Security with a convenient vector pool for the numerous accidental releases of hazardous germs which streamed out of the darkly shrouded facility. Homeland Security decided in 2008, in violation of US law, to transfer the remote facility containing its thousands of dangerous germs, right into the heartland of cattle country, Kansas.

 

 

 

Farmers and ranchers were alerted after the announcement and a very poignant article was written by attorney and farmer Mary Zanoni. They sounded the alarm through media, forums, species groups, and approached the marbled halls of government, educating and then pleading with their Legislators and Congressional members that Agri-Agency predators were rapidly uprooting America’s historically safe food resources and expelling farmers and ranchers from the American agricultural landscape. The determined Agri-Agencies set up the barbarous NAIS infrastructure where farmers and ranchers who refused to participate would be subject to a vicious assault, and food control would be achieved. The dark history of American food experimentation dates back earlier than WWII, and the millions of dollars spent on the NAIS scheme to date demands that those resisting NAIS must be re-educated on the so-called benefits of food industry transformation, or be silenced, by demonizing, radicalizing, and death threats.

 

 

 

Quickly in 2006 and 2007 farmers and ranchers across America mobilized to become drivers of consumer protective legislation to halt the NAIS scheme or at least minimize its far reaching tentacles of tainted food products. The food fight was on, We the People against the powerful behemoth of the Agri-Agency bureaucracy. In 2008 the food fight continued, though somewhat blurred, as the American financial system began to collapse, in part as a result of job out-sourcing.

 

 

 

The public outcry for safe food would be strategically forged into a pro-NAIS regulatory revenue maker. In the dawn of 2009 an article on the USDA’s NAIS Veterinary Service Memorandums sitewas drafted by Leesa Zalesky, an Editorial and Communications Committee member for the US Cattlemen. Zalesky’s article states, “Unfortunately, there’s misinformation floating around the countryside regarding the (USDA’s) new (VS) memorandum on premises identification. That misinformation needs to be cleared up before […].” With stealth Zalesky stepped up to the plate as an industry partner to set the industry straight on the USDA Memorandum and premises identification. The article ends with Zalesky stating, “If the delicate balance is to be found between protecting individual rights and providing an appropriate and effective animal health disease trace back system, then we all need to stay engaged solidly in the process with facts and truth. Listening to our state veterinarians as to what their needs are as opposed to falling victim to an extremist “black helicopter” theory would be a great place to start.”

 

 

 

It was time to silence the NoNAISWA opposition in a dramatic showdown, Agri Agency vs. We the People. NoNAISWA proposed legislation ramped up in both the House and the Senate in 2009, the very year that NAIS is to go mandatory. Within two days word got around the Capitol that NoNAISWA was back to fight the battle for food freedom. Coincidentally, at that same time a plain text email began being circulated to all the Legislators and selected cattlemen.

Subject: Stop the government from spying on my livestock - support SB 5956 and HB 2086

 

To Whom It May Concern,

 

Please support Senate Bill 5956 and the House Bill 2086, which would prohibit a mandatory “National Animal Identification System” (NAIS) in the State of Washington.

 

The reason I and many of my neighbors support these bills is we need to stop the government from spying on our farm animals. Recently, strange helicopters flew over my farm (see attached photo) and took pictures of my livestock and my property. When I have looked through my binoculars at the helicopters, I saw inscriptions on the side of the helicopters which said “National Animal Identification System” (NAIS).

 

I want to let you know that these NAIS helicopters are real and it is part of the government’s mission to monitor livestock in the United States. It is invasive and scary. It is a badly kept secret that our government really does spy on farm animals from helicopters. I think it is related to the United Nations working toward a “new world order.”

 

The other day I was near my hay barn feeding my cows when the helicopters flew over again and started circling my corral.

 

My reaction was to immediately duck for cover. However, it was a clear sunny day and was able to get a look at them and shoot the attached photograph.

 

They were totally black and ominous looking and they were flying very low. I tried to calm my cows and distract them from the helicopters, but they were too close and too loud.

 

Fortunately, I was able to take my cows into my barn for cover. However, the helicopters kept circling for the next few minutes. It was a real invasion of privacy.

 

As you can see, there is a great need to pass either Senate Bill 5956 or House Bill 2086 to stop the government from spying on livestock.

 

We hope you will support Senate Bill 5956 and House Bill 2086.

 

Thank you.

Conspiracy theory mania had hit the Olympia Capitol Campus. It caught many who were naive in the ways of dirty food, dirty politics, unaware. They were quietly and discretely told to distance themselves from the “black helicopter crowd” who were not “listening to the State Veterinarian’s needs”. In the State of Washington this would be the very same veterinarian who compromises Washington’s livestock each time he goes back to Plum Island and comes back contaminated. This is the same Dr. Eldridge, the Washington State Veterinarian, who at a regulatory hearing in June of 2007, boasted of having horses from Puerto Rico with Piroplasmosis (a horse disease) quarantined in Eastern Washington for two years. The horses were quarantined but unfortunately, the ticks were not. (Since we are dealing in facts here, the USDA has done quite some research on ticks. Google USDA and ticks.)

In classical theatrical style the proposed Washington State NoNAIS legislation quickly gained momentum. In an end run effort Agricultural Committee Chairs got together at dawn one morning with articulate and outspoken Agri Agency lobbyists to determine which agricultural bills would move forward during session. As you can image Cargill, Tyson, Monsanto didn’t want local farming and put for the order to “kill the NoNAISWA bills”.

 

 

 

To their credit the Agricultural Committee Chairs scheduled hearings simultaneously in both the House and the Senate at 1:30 on February 11. This was the opportunity that NoNAISWA had waited for: an opportunity to debate the merits of the National Animal Identification System known as NAIS. Word spread fast and there was great support for the hearings. The hearings were attended by a diverse and educated public. Despite being heard simultaneously at both the House and Senate Agricultural Committee hearings, the hearing rooms were both packed to overflowing. Many of the species were represented: horse, goat, chicken, swine, and llama. Impacted industries such as Realtor, veterinarian, and small farmers were also in attendance. Dirty food, dirty politics continued to be played out. NoNAISWA was up first to speak for the bills. Agri-Agency was next and was allowed the majority of the time. Paid government contractors made up the next panel who had signed in as ‘for the bills’ but spoke against them and were allowed to speak as long as they had something to say. Impacted businesses such as small farmers, some of whom had driven as many as 12 hours, were cut off after 30 seconds and some were not allowed to testify at all. It is with deep regret that I must share that the Agricultural Committees did not really hear the merits of the NAIS. They did however listen to Agri-Agency. Money talks - We the People have trouble being heard

.

Governor Gregoire, Speaker of the House Frank Chopp, Majority Leader Lisa Brown, and Agricultural Committee Chairs, Senator Hatfield and Representative Blake, could have individually or jointly have intervened to push the NoNAIS issue forward as they have done with other issues this legislative session.

 

 

 

After the dust settled it was time to do a little research on dirty food, dirty politics and find out the origins of the “black helicopter” rumors and email. Multiple attempts were made to track down the HTML and the header information on the email. The phone number at the bottom of the email, “ is a pay phone at Wenatchee Valley College North in Omak, WA. There is one Richard Jones registered to vote in Okanogan county, but he lives in Waucunda, not Omak. His land doesn’t come up under a parcel search, but he’s listed as a poultry producer. Jones Mountain Ranch is not registered as a business in Washington. The only Jones that comes up with an open business in Omak is an Edward Jones brokerage. Two other Richard Jones’ own property in Okanogan County. One owns 20 acres without improvements (tax value =$700). This might be considered Omak, it’s about 20 miles ENE, the owners (Richard and Bobbie Jones) live in Lacy. The other Jones owns 1 acre in Winthrop. None of this proves conclusively that this gentleman is a hoax, but the evidence does point in that direction,” said one NoNAISWA person scrutinizing the circulatred email.

 

 

 

As you can plainly see, any photograph taken in Okanagan County this time of year should have snow, there is no snow. On the contrary the deciduous trees are quite green and those weeds are mighty tall, for winter that is. Observe that the helicopter seen in the photo is not black, nor does it say ‘NAIS’ on the side.

 

 

 

On further investigation, Ms. Zalesky appears to be the only US Cattlemen member outside of Washington State who received an original email in HTML with headers. From this original, Zalesky was able to ferret out that the email was sent from a Yahoo Account. The emailer had used a company called http://www.findnot.com/. Then it went through about 8-9 proxy servers and ended up in Sunnyvale, CA. Zalesky continued saying she was going to use the information that she collected to “write a story”.

 

 

Unlike the Agri-Agency, we know you can connect the dots:

 

US Cattlemen supports the NAIS as paid contractors

 

A US Cattlemen’s Committee member is the only person to have the original email

 

A US Cattlemen’s Committee member was the only person who was able to track the header.

A US Cattlemen was requested to provide a copy of the circulated email with HTML and headers but the request was ignored.

US Cattlemen is the parent organization of WCA the paid Washington government contractor to implement the NAIS and provided the public with foreign contaminated food.

 

We the People have made an impact trying to protect people from contaminated food products. We have done what farmers and ranchers have done throughout history and that is sound the clarion call. Many of us would rather be home doing what we do best, providing the public with quality and healthy food and enjoying our farms. We stand firm and continue to wage the war against dirty food, dirty politics. Food freedom and food purity demand we continue to stand in the gap.

This is a sincere question - I'm not trying to rip on you at all - do you even read these?

 

 

 

 

How about removing some of the unformatted code that doesn't shake out from the C&P routine...

Lose Your Property for Growing Food?

 

Big Brother legislation could mean prosecution, fines up to $1 million

 

Food Safety Modernization Act

 

House Resolution 875, or the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, was introduced by Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., in February. DeLauro's husband, Stanley Greenburg, works for Monsanto – the world's leading producer of herbicides and genetically engineered seed.

 

DeLauro's act has 39 co-sponsors and was referred to the House Agriculture Committee on Feb. 4. It calls for the creation of a Food Safety Administration to allow the government to regulate food production at all levels – and even mandates property seizure, fines of up to $1 million per offense and criminal prosecution for producers, manufacturers and distributors who fail to comply with regulations.

 

Food Safety and Tracking Improvement Act

 

Another "food safety" bill that has organic and small farmers worried is Senate Bill 425, or the Food Safety and Tracking Improvement Act, sponsored by Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio.

 

Brown's bill is backed by lobbyists for Monsanto, Archer Daniels Midland and Tyson. It was introduced in September and has been referred to the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee. Some say the legislation could also put small farmers out of business.

 

Like HR 875, the measure establishes a nationwide "traceability system" monitored by the Food and Drug Administration for all stages of manufacturing, processing, packaging and distribution of food. It would cost $40 million over three years.

 

"We must ensure that the federal government has the ability and authority to protect the public???
