Danish Farmer Reverses Illnesses in pigs by reverting to a GM-free diet
'After researching the health hazards of GM foods and associated herbicides, Pederson decided to stop feeding his 450 sows with GM soybean, replacing them with fishmeal and non-GM soybean instead. He began to notice health benefits after two days of a GM-free diet. The farmer’s account has since been published in an English dossier compiled by scientist Brian John of GM-free Cymru (Wales), with collaboration from Pederson, published online by GM Watch'

Porky Flies and Porky Pies: Slaughtering natural breeds to make way for GMO pigs
 |
'Recently followers of Food Freedom or FarmWars or PPJ would have read of the insane and Unexplained rush to eradicate a whole lot of Old Breed and Heritage Pigs in certain AmeriKKan states by the USDA swat teams.
No sane explanations given as to why the sudden rush to remove everything they can that isn’t in a CAFO and an inbred weak pink piggy.
The sheer insanity of culling what are precious rare breeds with hugely valuable gene pools, and yeah, okay, some mongrel crosses, but owned and constrained and cared for none the less. But this campaign seemed ONLY to be targeting well cared for owned and small farmed breeders.'

Another way to kill US farmers: Seize their bank accounts on phony charges
'Monsanto’s Food and Drug Administration can’t close down small dairies and private food clubs fast enough, bursting on the scene with guns drawn as if the criminalized right to contract for natural foods we’ve consumed for millennia deserves SWAT attention.
Now, Obama has the Dept. of Justice going after small farmers under the post-911 “Bank Secrecy Act” which makes it a crime to deposit less than $10,000 when you earned more than that.
“The level we deposited was what it was and it was about the same every week,” Randy Sowers told Frederick News. The Sowers own and run South Mountain Creamery in Middletown, Maryland.
Admittedly, when the Sowers earned over $10,000 in February, and learned they’d have to fill out paperwork at the bank for such large deposits, they simply rolled the deposits over to keep them below the none-of-your-fucking-business amount, rather than waste time on bureaucratic red tape aimed at flagging terrorism or other illegal activities.'

Criminalization of Family Farms: Non-CAFO Pigs Declared Illegal
'All pigs in Michigan with non-curly tails, hairy coats, or erect ears will be shot and killed. That includes domesticated pigs grown by family farms—and the farmers will be declared felons. Factory farms are exempted! The state of Michigan is criminalizing healthy and humane family farms so that the horrors of Agribusiness can operate without competition.
Michigan is attacking, criminalizing, and destroying the family farm, leaving everyone at the mercy of Agribusiness, with its pesticides, antibiotics, unnatural animal diets, GMOs, concentrated animal feed operations (CAFOs – factory farms), and the health-destroying pseudo foods that result.'

America's farmlands to be carpet-bombed with Vietnam-era Agent Orange chemical if Dow petition approved
'A key chemical of one of the most horrifying elements of the Vietnam War -- Agent Orange -- may soon be unleashed on America's farmlands. Considered by world nations to be a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" (WMD), Agent Orange was dropped in the millions of gallons on civilian populations during the Vietnam War in order to destroy foliage and poison North Vietnamese soldiers. The former president of the Vietnamese Red Cross, Professor Nhan, described it as, "...a massive violation of human rights of the civilian population, and a weapon of mass destruction."'

The Coming Death of Family Farms and Home Gardens
'Nothing could be so American as the family farm or home garden. Both are under attack, and we are on the verge of seeing them disappear. The family farm has been under pressure from Agribusiness and its cohorts in crime, the USDA and FDA, for years. The home garden, though, is just starting to see attacks, but from a different source. The legal system itself is likely to deal the final blow. It will, of course, be assisted by Agribusiness’s front, the USDA and FDA.'

Alternative Markets, Barter Systems, and Local Co-ops are the Lifeboats That Will Save Us
'More and more people are becoming aware of the complete system failure we're experiencing in the United States and around the globe. As the true nature of the control system is revealed, people tend to feel as Howard Beale did in Network when he said, "first, you've got to get mad...and scream, I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
But once that anger at being lied to for so long subsides, then we must get on with the business of taking action to make the world more just and hopeful for our children. Many people will take to the streets to protest certain aspects of the current system. Others will do everything in their power to inform or warn their peers of the coming iceberg. Those are good and necessary functions, but they won't stop the Titanic from sinking.'

Natural News
'In the wake of hundreds of dietary supplements recently being outlawed across the EU, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has quietly unleashed a regulatory scheme that, if fully implemented, could ban virtually all dietary supplements in the USA that were formulated after 1994.'

Independence Criminalized: The Great Wall of Bureaucracy Comes to America
'The purge of the farming class in various Communist dictatorships is well documented. The regimes in China (1958-62) and Russia into the Ukraine (1920-39), identified those who were independent of state control, and implemented a heavy-handed oppression designed to turn true productivity toward collectivist goals. These regimes are but a version of what is being proposed in modern America.'
