US SEEKS TO MAKE ORGANIC FARMING ILLEGAL (TRUE)

“Big Agra’s Dream Bill” H.R. 875 (aka the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009)
THURSDAY, 26 MARCH 2009 08:01 TY BOLLINGER
HR 875, was introduced by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, a Democrat from Connecticut. Her introduction of this bill represents a stunning conflict of interest, since her husband (Stanley Greenburg) works for Monsanto. Monsanto is the world’s largest producer of herbicides and genetically engineered seeds, and they would significantly benefit if tens of thousands of small organic farms forced to shut down!

This bill is dreadful at numerous levels:

Ya a definite conflict of interest. Monsanto is extremely evil, with huge controls on the farmers that use their seeds because of all their patents on the genetically changed seeds. And who knows the health risks the governments have risked by allowing the altered seeds. There wasnt much study done on how the altered food we're all eating has affected us. Monsanto essentially bribed the governments into doing it. And quelled all dissent about the health risks. Sure, the seeds are higher yield and resistant to pests, but at what cost? Farmers had to buy into it to stay competitive with each other. The altered food essentially created a two-tier food system. Thosa who have no choice but to buy the altered food because of their budget, and those who can afford to buy the 'real food'. A loss of organic farming would eliminate all options for healthy eating. Though the best option is to grow your own food. Even if you only have a small plot of land in your backyard, or a section of your balcony, a community garden plot, or an acre, it's worth the effort to stay healthy. And therapeutic to garden as well. And also you cut down on the pollution since the food doesnt have to be trucked miles to the supermarket. Also, there's no pesticides or fertilizers. I've been growing my own food for 2 years now. Each fall I've blanched and frozen vegetables and made my own pasta sauce. It's March and I'm still eating the frozen food. Healthy frozen food. Go start your own vegetable garden! Just make sure you buy organic seeds or organic starter plants.

The above bill also targets this practice to become illegal!!!!!

I swear to the Creator Almighty I will never, ever ignore another dream I have that shows things from the future that I brush off as the ramblings of a mad man.

About three years ago I was in France, in a vineyard and had a little 'sleep in the spring sunshine' (not due to too much wine I hasten to add) and dreamt of people in the USA being thrown off fields and land, and watching their crops get burnt by guys in yellow and blue HAZMAT suits.

A notice was pinned to the fence and I remember it as clear as if it was last night.

If that bill passes God help the world. At least I'm in Canada, though they usually follow whatever the U.S. does. But I'll continue to grow as long as I can. What a horrible dream about growing food = terrorism. Lets hope the bill dies.

Small Farmers and and Nutritional healers are being harassed and even raided by by institutions like the FDA the FTC and the USDA. Free speech about nutritional solutions to problems like depression are severely limited by the FDA and FTC. They seems to believe that nothing natural can solve anything. What will really kill the farms though is the recently added health regulation bills entered into the house and senate. These bills demand traceability, which signifies the enactment of NAIS (National Animal Identification System). Penalties for any violations according to these bills can also be up to 100,000 to 500,000 dollars. which would break any rural farm. These bills were unnannounced, and were introduced at the same time so there would be no debate. The good news is that these bills seem to have slowed down thanks to thanks to lack of support after their exposure. This is a time to talk to your senators and representatives and stop these bills!

never dismiss your dreams egg ... you are open and receive them for a reason ... not for you personally but for you to know for others ... follow the bread crumbs ...

i too have had knowings of this occuring ... what shouldn't unfold ... very similar to your own dream ... i follow my own bread crumbs always ... trust they're being tossed on my path for a purpose ...

uncanny how similar my dream was ... the guys that torched the fields i seen were wearing white hazmat attire ... i stood and watched in terror ... all had to do with control of organic farming ... farmers of that land were no where to be seen ... nor their energy felt ... a sign on the wire fence read ... 'to be avoided' ... surreal and real at the same time ... kind of creepy ...

I just cannot believe in this day and age of health awareness, people will sit and watch as their last hope of real food dies off in a bill that will make growing food illegal.

GMO all the way for a dumbed down, infertile and compliant 'servitude' based society.

Guess we now know what Obama will be feeding his 'youth corp'.

Democracy for the rich.
After the Rodney King uprising in 1992 the city of Los Angeles donated 14 acres of desolate urban landscape to the people in the neighborhood.
The people reclaimed the land and made 350 garden plots. This farm kept kids off the streets and off drugs. It feed the poor and gave the area a sense of community.
Now the city has taken it back. They destroyed the crops, the infrastructure, and the lives of many people.
They plan to build a warehouse in it's place.

Well just goes to show how little they really give a damn about keeping poeple off drugs and out of prisons doesn't it?

Growing food is going to become a crime, so, I just have to ask - what about all those prison gardens that provide food for the prisoners?

Swanny · 03-29-2009, 06:50 PM

If you sell home grow vegetables does that make you a veggie dealer?????

Don't talk to him children he's a very bad man he grows and sells vegetables...

"Today the police raided the garden and home of Bill Smith (a known veggie dealer) and recovered vegetables with the street valve of £3000."

I don't think I've ever heard anything so ridiculous, surely the people wont stand for that???

Egg · 03-29-2009, 06:59 PM

If the feds raided my Grandfathers Veggie plot, they would be met with AK 47 fire - his veg.... dammit the old coot gets cranky enough if we snap stems as we walk through the carrot patch.

Stand on his potatoes? ....... I can hear the AK being locked and loaded from here.

Your grandad sounds like my kind of fella!! No one mucks with my veggie garden either.
