A stealth copyright campaign has begun reducing your right-to-access alternative news with a copyright infringement explosion.  It came to light in early dawn hours when a small company producing and marketing natural beauty products noticed a strange visit from a peculiar company calling itself, “Doris Day Musical”, revealing the latest threat to free and independent news.    The premise of the embryonic copyright war is that all images on the internet plantation are to be licensed and harvested with value-added fees. All images will be funneled through licensed and legal venues.  Those who operate outside the new infrastructure will be targeted through new Image Tracker software incurring post-user fees for images.  Compliance is mandatory and comes with the threat of being cut-off from telecommunications.  Last year, when I was covering the One Health announcement merging Human and Animal medicine, I was prevented from publishing the logo of a fire breathing dragon on a tilted axis earth prohibiting use subject to copyright.  What will this mean to alternative media venues and whistle-blowers who expose corrupt government policies and practices through powerful imagery accessed from websites and documents?  Continue reading →

Agricultural Census: Time for Civil Disobedience

The National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS Agricultural Census) is due February 4th and people are scratching their heads wondering why they received the census and what to do with it. The most popular thought is to throw it in the waste basket but that is a mistake unless you are prepared to suffer the consequences.

Do I have to fill out the Agricultural Census? Continue reading →

Empowering the Slaves

Empowering the Slaves

Yes!  I want to see the document!

Empowering the slaves under the UN umbrella is the mission for the next several years.  The UN and affiliates will be aggressively intruding into your life in eight critical areas.  We are already seeing these trends turning up in surveys, census’s, and community farmers markets as global puppeteers manipulate once affluent peoples into embracing foreign ideologies, poverty, and slavery.  For instance, we have been told that this the 2013 Agricultural Census, 30 plus pages, is data-mining questions on women in agricultural enterprises. At Farmers Markets American producers are finding it increasingly difficult to compete with foreign international traders who are “empowered” by the UN.  Your compassion is being manipulated by the UN shysters.

  • Improve the health and productivity of livestock of the rural poor
  • Manipulate small farmers into accepting the climate change ideology
  • Increase productivity by enhancing humans and animals and the environment
  • Empower women luring them away from their biblical role to embrace UN ideology that is fundamental to the success of global farm-based initiatives.

Research themes that you will be seeing are:

  • Water and livestock
  • Zoonotic disease (diseases passed between animals and people) and water management on health
  • The affect of climate change and land-use patterns on key resources such as water,
    fodder, and movement corridors by using a pastoral ecosystem model.
  • Pro-Poor Value Chains: Market Access including herdsmen and women

America, wake up!  You are allowing a once vibrant and prosperous nation to fall into ruin and tyranny.

10 Minute Citizen:  Support local farmers.  Support real local farmers not some ringer for a trans-national company who is designed to tug at your heart-strings with buzz words such as “empowering” aimed at drawing you into the UN matrix agenda.  The coo of these women is lulling you into African-like poverty.

Happy Census! And may the odds be ever in your favor

Happy Agriculture Census!  Time has just flown by!  While you were struggling to find non-GMO animal feed and trying to preserve your private property the clock has just kept ticking until the middle of December when your very own, up-close and personal, agricultural census was sent in the mail.  Maybe you haven’t seen it yet amongst all your holiday greetings but if you haven’t received it, you will.

Three Million Farmers?

But wait!  You say, ” I am not a farm!”  Well, according to the law you are a farm.  A farm is any property that has potential to make $1000 from anything.  That’s right!  Anything!  You may knit or fix cars.  Maybe you don’t do anything but sit on your rear and get freebies like your Obama phone, but that doesn’t matter, because you are now an asset of the US government and you have potential to make them money.  That is what this massive and intrusive census is all about.  It is to collect all the information that they can on you and your assets voluntarily. New this year, the NASS says, there are 3 million farmers in America.  In 2005, there only 2 million farms.  Since then, due to harsh regulations and agri-business swallowing up all the little guys that number has plummeted.  Anyone in farming or ranching can tell you that.  So what is with this 3 million farmers?  That is you or maybe your neighbor.  Not everybody is their partner yet but they hope you can help them change that.  This year I tried to give you a sneak preview on what will be hitting your mail box, but for the first time they have a sophisticated verification process online, so you can’t see unless you really take the live census.  I didn’t want to go down that rabbit hole.

What do they do with all that information? 

They tell you upfront that all employees are sworn to secrecy on your information with high fines and imprisonment should they spill the beans on your private data. What they don’t say is that for years they give the collected data to all agencies and even foreign countries for purposes such as integrating the Unites States with Canada and Mexico into a super-region.  Yes, they share their information with almost anyone they can sell it to.

According to the NASS website:  NASS’s international projects have covered the globe and a wide array of statistical activities, including:

  • Review of existing and development of new sample survey and census programs;
  • Development of sampling frames, both area and list;
  • Design of more efficient survey samples;
  • Testing and implementation of new and improved survey methods;
  • Introduction of new methods for analyzing survey data;
  • Development of objective crop yield forecasting and estimating programs;
  • Consultation on the use of remote sensing technology;(satellite)
  • Development of data processing systems; and
  • Delivery of short-term seminars and training programs, both in-country and in the U.S.

Can I opt-out?

According to NASS the answer would be a resounding no. They cite “United States law (Title 7, U.S. Code) requires all those who receive a Census report form to respond even if they did not operate a farm or ranch in 2012.”  We have covered this extensively on this site.  The requirement is that you respond.  The only Constitutional thing you need to answer is how many people in your dwelling.  After that you can write a polite civil or religious cover letter stating that you do not participate or believe this to be a legitimate census.  I have personally used the Religious Objection notification with great success.  Since there is a requirement to respond it is not advisable to just throw it in the round can these days.  They are just looking for an excuse to extract generous amounts of revenue their way so I would take the template Census Objection and use it or something similar.

One last tidbit is that this year they will be mailing and calling with “special” surveys on particular areas of interest, so be prepared.

Happy Census!  And may the odds be ever in your favor……

 

 

Liberty Takes a Hit with the New Biosurveillance National Strategy

On the heels of RIO+ 21 the Obama Administration has put together a Biosurveillance strategy that has been long in the works and supposedly closes loopholes the the GAO addressed in the former strategy.  Obama has declared that, “As a Nation, we must be prepared for the full range of threats, including a terrorist attack involving a biological agent, the spread of infectious diseases, and food-borne illnesses.” Continue reading →

The much dreaded RIO+20 conference is finally over.  The delegates have returned home and the dust is settling into the reality of dangerous international incremental environmental control.  The adoption paper was 53 pages long and that is a hyper-linked summary with the impact actually being much greater.

Yes! I want to read the N1238164 RIO+document

As we look at the summary of items to be addressed and implemented remember that with the United Nations the semantic shell game is the name of the game.  Continue reading →

Plenary Session II: Joint Human-Animal Wildlife Assessments on Zoonotic Diseases

Chaired by Martyn Jeggo

This session began with a talk by Jakob Zinsstag on how examining the theoretical underpinnings of One Health can help understand its potential. In his ‘One Medicine’, Calvin Schwabe noted the biological closeness of animals and humans. He believed that there is no difference in paradigm between human and animal medicine. In fact, it is notable that the human genome is 99 per cent the same as that of the great apes and 95 per cent the same as that of pigs. This may help explain the co-creational attitude of the ancient Egyptians, but modern animal welfare has its origins in South German protestant pietism, as well as Albert Schweitzer’s advocacy of respect for life. Nevertheless, there are many discrepancies in the value that humans give to animals, and they tend to be culturally determined. Although the intensification of livestock production may be inhumane, for many small farmers it is a way out of the poverty trap. Humanity attributes widely varying emotional and economic values to animals: could this be the start of a new subjectivism in science? Continue reading →

Plenary Session I: Development of a Global One Health Network – Creating Added Value

Chaired by Marco Ferrari

This session tackled the question of what the One Health approach involves and what added value can be created through its development. There is a need to identify common ground and establish a common global network.

Alain Vandersmissen considered where we the field has progressed to after the Atlanta meeting of 2011. He noted that there are some success stories in research and implementation. The Stone Mountain May 2010 gave three to five years to demonstrate the impact of One Health. Seven working groups were established, two of which subsequently merged. They will report their deliberations in the near future. A “network of networks” is ready to be activated, but it needs to be structured and co-ordinated. There should be no boss and no owner; instead, co-ordinators and facilitators are needed, in order to create a global community of like-minded individuals around the One Health concept. This initiative should not duplicate existing efforts but should lead to a network distinguished by shared ownership. A web portal is ready to be populated and then opened to the public.

One Health – One Planet – One Future
Risks and Opportunities

February 19, 2012

The Integrative Health Risk Management Perspective:

Today’s human health management requires to be dealt with from a holistic One Health perspective that acknowledges the systemic interconnections of human, animal and environmental health in close relation with food safety and security. Only an integrative approach will ensure sustainable health management in an era of climate change, resource depletion, land degradation, food insecurity and development challenges. Knowledge sharing, education, improved governance, corporate responsibility and dedicated investments will be key.

Integrative components of One Health thus are:

  • Human Health
  • Animal Health
  • Environmental Health
  • Food Safety & Security
  • Agriculture

 

Join top experts, leaders and pioneers from international organizations, public authorities, insurance and health services, the pharmaceutical and food industry, science, and civil society exploring innovative pathways of global integrative health risk management through the One Health perspective. Do not miss this opportunity for networking, experience exchange and the acquisition of first-hand information and join the keynote lectures, panel debates, special sessions, as well as a poster exhibition.
