  |
|
Obama's Stimulus package is aimed at
Locking In Control by Monsanto and BigAgri.
Read the fine print and wake up fast.
| Quote: | Monsanto bills being rushed through Congress,
set to destroy organic farming.
Obama must be held accountable.
The bum's rush is not grassroots anything.
The implementation of plans laid during Bush's regime is not change.
This, no matter how you cut is, is fascist.

I have written here many times about NAIS and now the Obama
government, having promised people would have 60 days to comment,
having promised transparency, having promised it was in support of small
farmers, is pushing through as rapidly as humanly possible, bills that will
mean the end of organic farming.
How? By Monsanto entering into the body of organic farming like a
disease and morphing organic farms into industrial facilities, the farmer
being forced to "treat" the land with chemicals and the animals with
drugs, trapped into paying for what is unwanted, unsafe, unneeded,
unconstitutional.
This is monopoly at the most extreme degree - not just unfair competition
but total control of every aspect of the competition to the degree of
making them laborers for the monopoly.
Here is the senate version.
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-425
The bill has been referred to the following committees:
Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. Sent to committee on
February 9, 2009 we are not allowed to know what happens in
committee. For some reason these things are secret and we can't most
times even know how anyone voted. As this site points out, if you do not
have a rep or senator on the committees…….they don't' want to hear from
you.
In the House: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-875
A bill in the US Congress: To establish the Food Safety Administration
within the Department of Health and Human Services to protect the public
health………….
Referred to committee on February 4, 2009
House Energy and Commerce
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/committee.xpd?id=HSIF
House Agriculture
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/committee.xpd?id=HSAG
The bills in both the House and Senate are virtually identical. This means
this whole deal was decided at the same time Smart Grid was inserted
into the Stimulus Package. The house and Senate bills will lay the
groundwork for NAIS and other programs, and Smart Grid will make
them operable.
Both these bills appeared simultaneously in both houses, having been
planned before the fact. This speeds them through committee and brings
them to the floor to be calendared. Since both bills are identical, there
will be motions to suspend the rules on debates. Meaning none will be
allowed. We will have to watch these closely as they will appear suddenly
on probably the same day with the House voting first in the morning and
the Senate in the afternoon.
Not one rep or senator has denied, refuted or argued even one of our
articles or any of our statements. Not one major paper has covered any
of it.
This is all part of the Smart Grid System of controlling everything in our
lives and us – to me it is the Patriot Act gone ballistic, digitizing every
aspect of our lives and leaving no area of privacy or true freedom
whatsoever. Do people even remember anymore how different life used
to be, how it belonged to us and only us?

Last paragraph.
One of the largest components of Smart Grid is already being
implemented by the USDA; it's called the National Animal Identification
System (NAIS) it requires farmers to implant a RFID tag into the body of
all of their livestock–cows, pigs, goats, chickens, sheep, all livestock. The
NAIS threatens to destroy small-scale family farms. If you're not familiar
with the NAIS, here are a couple of resources: Downsize DC, NAIS: Too
little too late? and NAIS: Let's do some fuzzy math. Coupled with Smart
Grid, the NAIS strengthens the ability of Government officials to control
rural Americans as completely as they control people in the cities.
President Obama believes implementing Smart Grid is urgent. He wants
the program to expand quickly, with all of us on the thinking grid by 2011.
All of us.
Notice the great rush to do this. The great and unjust and non-transparent
and immensely UNDEMOCRATIC rush - to force on the entire country
something they know nothing about.
We are talking about one of the most massively controlling laws in the
history of this country and one affecting the health and thus existence of
every single person. We are talking about the take over of the US food
supply by industrial forces and the contamination and thus death of
organic farming through stealth.
Everything green, healthy, anti-global warming, local, decent,
environmental, community building, independent, free thing that organic
farming is, we need. But the corruption of our government and politicians
by Monsanto and especially the Clinton influence on behalf of Monsanto, is
bringing us horror.
Obama must be held accountable. The bum's rush is not grassroots
anything. The implementation of plans laid during Bush's regime is not
change. This, no matter how you cut is, is fascist.

| Quote: | NAIS: Another link in the attempts to
control food supplies worldwide
by Marti Oakley February 16, 2009 opednews.com
Anyone who has researched the history of the National Animal
Identification System (NAIS) realizes very quickly that this global strategy
being pushed by the toxic Monsanto Corporation, Genus, PIC and the
United Nations is nothing less than a plan to seize control of the world’s
food production on every level. Like the efforts to convert water from a
human right to one of a commodity to be sold only to those who can
afford it, food of all kinds, from all sources, will no longer be a human
right if these Frankenfood corporations and the UN are successful.

That's just soooo un-communistically communist.
We have become the newspeak!!
BTW, for what it's worth, or not, I forwarded the link to this thread to Rachel Maddow at MSNBC. I hope it gets some air coverage.
People need to know about this more intimately.

Boulder CO is America's first smart grid city.

All of us. |
No way this is going to happen nationwide by 2011. Neither government nor the corporatocracy are that efficient - although I'm sure they'll spend massive amounts of funding for years implementing the smart grid and working out problems.
Also, tagging/digitalizing everything - animals, clothes, homes, refrigerators, food, meters - for the purpose of snooping and controlling would be somewhat futile - as few items have any length of shelf life - burned, crashed, wrecked, broken, thrown away.
The NAIS claims animal/food source tracking aids in tracing outbreaks of livestock disease, etc. and that industry/government will co-partner to fund tagging methods, etc. (Farm subsidies.)
| Quote: | | Here’s the scenario: you buy a pair of socks, using your credit or debit card (cash is already being discouraged). Because of Smart Grid, your house will be able to read the bar code on those socks as you bring them through the door and add them to a list it keeps of your clothes; size, price, origin, when worn, etc. The computer that controls your home’s thermostat and lights also controls your wardrobe, budget, social habits, and even your eating habits. The refrigerator reads the bar codes on your food. Someone with access to that information knows when you eat, what you eat, what you paid for it, and how long something has been in the fridge. |
It will be a very, very long time before Big Brother has this in effect to any usable degree. The government can't keep up with potholes and foster kids - much less the personal habits of 300+ million citizens.
And, luckily, someone will find a way to zap it away cheaply and easily if ya need to keep your household matters private.
I do think our food supply is little more than mass produced contaminated modified garbage - the worst being fast food. Sadly, we are what we eat.

my neighbor was an FDA agent. yummy stuff out there.

that's a no-brainer. but incompetency never stops them from giving out gazillion dollar contracts
you know the govt doesn't have too much problem spending other people's money... toward a nobl(e)ility cause. did they ever give a shit whether it really makes sense or can be proven to actually work as planned?
hello, iraq anyone?
i'll risk a bet that rfid and similar contraptions will make it to mass embeddedment (is that a word?) within the coming decade. why would they waste all that research and development on gis and international coding? there are intl barcodes for every minute thing out there.
i know. i've helped implement them at a major US manufacturer in 2007. there is even a code for humans.
http://www.gs1.org/productssolutions/barcodes/
and
http://www.1sync.org/home.html
those were the two companies we had to answer to.
eventually, if any product does not have this implemented, they will not be able to transport or sell anything.
seems uninvasive enough for now. most of this shit looks tame.
think of how everything is a mish-mash of coded and mined pool of digital intelligence.
personally, the day will come when at the checkout counter in walmart, even i might say - "christ, just scan my head so i can get out of here... i'm late for my doctor's appointment!"
