February 2006 was not exactly a tranquil month.  Emails and forums were blazing with communication and revelation on the National Animal Identification System known as NAIS.  Farmers were just beginning to collect information of the NAIS program.  NAIS activism was in its infancy with only a few farming journals such as Countryside exposing the sinister NAIS plan.   Walter Jeffries was just putting up his NoNAIS.org blog when Celeste Bishop called him with the news that the largest alternative media venue, Coast to Coast with George Noory, was going to cover the hot topic of NAIS.  Walter and Celeste teamed up for 48 hours to get the blog ready for the first NoNAIS activists to go live on the international air-waves.  Much appreciation is extended to Dr. Katherine Albrecht who helped get the media ball rolling on NAIS.

Katherine Albrecht, Pat Showalter and Celeste Bishop talk with George Noory and expose the rise of the High Tech Control Grid….

Everyone in farming community was furious about the program that would require:

Premises Identification:  All property that has potential to make $1000 qualifies whether you have animals or not.  Your property would be issued a 7 digit number that would cloud the your private property title and would run with your land instead of through ownership.

Electronic Animal Identification:  Livestock would need to be electronically identified in case of a “dreadful foreign animal disease”.  What the fear-mongering Department of Agriculture did not tell people was that truckloads of diseased and undocumented animals were flooding across the borders straight for your dinner table.  The USDA and state Departments of Agriculture also did not reveal the incremental implementation of a master UN plan called the Terrestrial Animal Health Code that would regulate all life on the planet earth.  It has come to light that the electronic identification may or may not be the dreaded grain size RFID that is inserted into flesh via a very large needle.  Other RFID technology is available these days including Somark, which uses an embedded RFID ink and then tattoos its victims with an invisible ink.

The third pillar of NAIS is the 24/7 surveillance (tracking or tracing-whatever you want to call it) where commingling and reporting of ‘animal’ movement would need to be reported to the government in an IRS type electronic format.

The NoNAIS journey for most of us has been one of pounding down and deciphering documents, learning to appreciate each others diverse talents, learning a *new-to-you* redefined language, leaving the farm to work with policy makers, law suits, media coverage, and communication skills.  Through the highs and the lows of NoNAIS activism we have made new friends and lost friends.  We have had abounding hard work and sacrificed many hours, dollars, and family time.

Do farmers think that the NoNAIS battle is worth it?  Absolutely!  Freedom to preserve farm-freedom so that we may all eat pure food is precious.  Unpolluted food from local small farmers is a valuable commodity to you the consumer.  The days of famine are rapidly approaching when your local farmer will not be able to farm and you will be stuck with polluted food!  If we, farmer and consumer, sit back and let someone else fight the “food-fight” we will get exactly what we put in, something that looks like food, but is not.

Will Coast to Coast cover an update on the current famine threat created by over regulation of traditional and small agriculture?  So far this You Tube has had 500+ hits.  We the People can drive that number much higher and show that folks are concerned about uncontaminated local foods.

Tyrannical food regulation is creeping into your front porch.  What are you going to do about it?

Share the link with your family and friends and ask them to view it.  Together we can drive the NoNAIS issue back up into international media venues where we have the best opportunity to educate and impact folks on this critical issue.  Let’s not relegate NAIS media coverage to the pages of history.

Richard Donaldson is a man with a mission and he is mad.  He is a farmer who is tired of intrusive and gold-digging regulations so he is running for the Director of Agriculture in the fine State of Texas.

Y’all know the dangers of the National Animal Identification System  (NAIS)!  You are are hammered by the bankster-gate fiat money?  Your land is taking a hit from Agenda 21?  Are you depressed at the suicidal direction agricultural policy is taking?

Act NOW!  You can support a farmer who has had enough.  What is Richard Donaldson’s platform? In his own words:

An Agricultural Census Statistician once boldly, and with much enthusiasm, told a NoNAIS’er back in 2005 that in order to track down every single ‘farmer’  in America that the government was utilizing aerial methods.  While the statistician did not go into more detail regarding the ‘aerial surveillance’ it certainly did not take a rocket scientist to figure out that with all the satellites, planes, and drones in the sky, surveillance of this type was a common, every-day occurrence.

The WSDA promptly proclaimed “Not true!”,  “We do not have satellites!”   While semantically that was true, they do “not have satellite’s”, they do use information collected from satellites within their Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and their USDA mother-ship.

Space Imagery and Remote Sensing Becomes Legal Evidence & Taxable!

Looking for work?  There is a booming business in Remote Sensing and Space law currently.  Just a little blip from the Space-Based Law Initiative:

“Addressing the growing need for objective and timely space and aviation law in areas that include: deployment and operation of satellites, commercial infrastructure [that includes agriculture], data policies, intellectual property; privacy, liability, international law, use of imagery as legal evidence, environmental issues, and licensing.”  [emphasis mine]

Just click this link and in the search area type: agriculture.  What you will discover is the long-time plan to tax all carbon, and everything else that can possibly be imaged on your farm, straight into the pockets of banksters and whoever else shares the farming ‘pot of gold’.

10 Minute Citizen: What can I say?  Anyone got ideas on how to fight this one?

Many of us have encounter the *Conspiracy Theory* strategy. I sat with one “Investigative” reporter for three hours with a neatly organized presentation folder with concrete documents obtained under FOIA discussing NAIS. I methodically went through the documents and laid a foundation that a child could understand. At the end of the presentation he said, “Well if I cover the story it will be under *Conspiracy Theory*” and I will cover it only if you, “Get a hearing”. I laid my head down on the table and sighed. Got a hearing, many hearings, we did! Did he cover the NAIS story? No!

The NoNAIS movement is the subject of some sophisticated operations and strategies. I found this one particularly insightful on the *Conspiracy Theory*. Hopefully, we can counter the strategy as we build a better mousetrap which will guarantee success to state passage of NoNAIS law and other fundamental agricultural protections.

This article made me reflect back to our origins when we were attempting so hard to get main stream press for NoNAIS. Many of us were naive and unprepared for what could have happened if we got “press” at that time. A blessing in disguise. Now that we are “seasoned veterans” of NoNAIS we are much more able to tackle the media land mines.

Have you run into the *Conspiracy Theory* wall? Longer read, but worth the time if you are active in opposing NAIS or anything else for that matter.

Recognizing disinformation in the media

Twenty-six ways to slander and intimidate conspiracy advocates

“If we had met five years ago, you wouldn’t have found a more staunch defender of the newspaper industry than me. And then I wrote some stories that made me realize how sadly misplaced my bliss has been. The reason I’d enjoyed such smooth sailing for so long hadn’t been, as I’d assumed, because I was careful and diligent and good at my job… The truth was that, in all those years, I hadn’t written anything important enough to suppress.”

-2002, Gary Webb, ‘Into the Buzzsaw’, as repeated by his fellow investigative journalist Nick Schou in the book ‘Kill the Messenger’(p. 12). Webb’s career was ruined after he published a series of articles tying the CIA to drug trafficking. He never recovered from the affair and ultimately killed himself.

“In the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility… In the primitive simplicity of [the mind of the masses] they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. ”

- 1926, Adolf Hitler, ‘Mein Kampf’, p. 472
About a year ago something began to dawn on me, and that is the fact that many people don’t recognize media bias or disinformation very well.You’d be surprised at how many people can read an article about any given conspiracy topic and not recognize it when facts are being selectively presented, or when the conspiracy point-of-view is discouraged with jokes, personal attacks or unrealistic counter-arguments. This needs to change.

Below you will find 26 tactics that can, and have, been used by the media against people advocating conspiracies. I’ve been gathering them over the course of a year by paying attention to newspaper, magazine and tv reports about controversial issues.

The purpose of this article is two-fold :

It will allow anyone to better recognize media bias and media disinformation; It provides people with a checklist they can use to prepare themselves in case they are invited for an interview and suspect to be ridiculed. As for the second argument, think of the ever increasing amount of bloggers, conspiracy-website owners (this author has been contacted,for example) and political activists. Other examples are upcoming investigative authors, potential whistleblowers and basically anyone prominent who thinks about speaking out in support of a certain conspiracy.

List of tactics including additional explanations, List of tactics only Tactics used:

Subtly or not so subtly intimidate anyone who might be open to the possibility of a conspiracy by questioning the mental state of conspiracy advocates and pretending they are outcasts of society whose opinions nobody cares about.

Additional explanation:Insinuate that anyone interested in unfavorable subjects, which can even be as innocent as looking into the role of Bilderberg or the Trilateral Commission in the globalization process, is a complete nutter who needs his head examined. A subtler approach might be to pretend how we all get so tired of these people, for example by saying or writing, “Yes,I hear you thinking, here you have them again. But let’s find out, what is it exactly that they want to convince us of this time?”

Put the word “theory” behind the word “conspiracy”, no matter how great the evidence, and preferably do this several times in the article to make the (supposedly) theoretical nature of the conspiracy really sink in.

One fine day I went to visit Mt St. Helen’s.  It had been a long time since I had visited the mountain where as a youth I had hiked and camped.  Today the mountain has a very different landscape, in more ways than one.  As I drove up to the Visitor Center I marveled at the bleak terrain that had once been filled with lush towering trees, pure lakes and streams.  I parked the car and went inside to view the Visitor Center.  At the door a stern looking Park Ranger, a job I had once aspired to obtain, looked up and demanded a fee to use the Center.  I handed her the proper amount and she handed me an arm bracelet.  I responded, “I don’t do arm bracelet’s.”  She barked back in Gestapo fashion, “WE MUST ENSURE COMPLIANCE!”  To use ‘Park’ (paid for by We the People) one must reexamine ones moral and ethical ground.

So, too, most of us have found as we engage in opposing the National Animal Identification System known as NAIS that COMPLIANCE is the USDA’s bottom line.  Compliance towards unhealthy agri-business and their greedy and deadly agricultural practices.

I found some simple graphics produced by Stanford University that illuminated how most of us are being manipulated into compliance and conformance to ideologies we do not believe in.  The teacher and designer of these graphics is extremely gifted in the talent of persuasive technologies.

A New Attitude:  Rules of Persuasion

Dr BJ Fogg has been in the behavior-changing game for more than 15 years. He shows how the latest technology is providing tools that can influence how people

Can computers be designed to change people’s beliefs and behaviors? It was this question that brought me to Stanford in 1993 as a doctoral student. I admit that at first some people thought me a bit crazy: at the time, computers were used mostly for crunching numbers and storing data. But a young professor named Cliff Nass saw the potential.

The world of persuasion has changed rapidly over the past 10 years. If you haven’t noticed the shift, now is the time to recognize how technology opens doors across all sectors – to engage new customers, influence people’s attitudes, and, most interesting of all, change their behaviors.

Can we learn a lesson or glean prophetic insight when looking back into the pages of history?  The brief summary of this book is chilling to say the least.  In Ecclesiastes the Bible states that their is “nothing new under the sun”.  Could our current struggle against invasive global “bugs” point to the past and to our future as described in various prophetic books of the Bible?  What happens to a people and culture when foreign “bugs” assault “virgin immune systems”?  Read the following and to see if certain passages ring eerily familiar.
