Federalized Food Before the Holidays

By

Celeste Bishop

Americans unequivocally said “no” to the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) and then to the renamed Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) as clearly stated in this Federal Register document.  But the USDA-APHIS branch is  beholding to its commitment to foreign trade and treaties selling out the American people and have just federalized the animal food industry within USSR of America before the holidays..

In 2005-2006 there was a resounding outcry from farmers, ranchers and consumers demanded State protection from the federal bullies. States proposed legislation although behind closed doors Committee Chairmen/women and high paid lobbyists gave the thumbs down to NIAS protection that the people were demanding.  One long time employee was overhead saying, “We need to get rid of these annoying people.”  They promptly installed panic buttons, the kind you find in banks, to keep the people at bay.  Not taking no for an answer the USDA-APHIS designated a few “Listening Sessions.”  They then used these sessions, in perfect Hegelian Dialectic,  to gain a lukewarm communist consensus.  Once they got of hint of consensus they took the ball and ran with it, implementing their original plan and even more.

This new Traceability Plan is accepting comments, but according to this document they  will make their decision only from a State and Tribal corrupt ‘Advisory Group’.  As you will see the document uses Executive Order after Executive Order as a foundation for its infrastructure.  Meanwhile the U.S Code and CFR are dotted with new codes supporting this food agenda.  Towards the end it has the audacity to claim: “The regulations in this part preempt State, Tribal, and local laws and regulations that are in conflict with them”.

You will notice that this was posted in the Federal Register on August 11, 2012 when farming and rancher watchmen/women are the busiest. Most Americans are vacationing and food issues are far from their minds.  Hence the delay in getting the word out.

Here are the basics of the plan from the bowels of the United Nations:

Premise Identification:  This is an international number.  If you own property it clouds your title putting the “federal” government in first position.

RFID Identification of Animals:  This sound like a good thing but the fact of the matter is that the RFID has been linked with cancer.  When RFID was heavily promoted this was suppressed.  See Katherine Albrecht’s great work on the topic.

Another disturbing fact with this RFID mandate is that according to the very UN treaty driving this Traceability scheme humans are defined as animals.  What applies to animals, applies to you.

Surveillance 24/7:  Global entities want to know where all animals are at all times and their health.  The new RFID’s can remotely provide health information relaying a problem before any symptoms appear.

Recordkeeping: UN Style

They say, “The devil is in the details” and this proposal will horrify you if you like to eat.  Take a moment to comment, but understand, that this is the regulatory process which means they really won’t listen to you.  In fact, they have already made up their minds, amalgamated a favorable Advisory Committee to secure the Traceability rule.  The USDA-APHIS. have declared in public record that it will cost the farmer a negligible amount.  Well maybe, if you get free-bailouts every-time you turn around it might be negligible.  Most farmers are doing you the consumer a double service: providing good wholesome food for you and your family and also standing as watchmen/women protecting your food supply from the global wolves dressing in sheep outfits. Please support your local small farm in any way you can.

Protest Opportunity: Tri-National 2010 NASDA Draft Agenda

Call it what you will…NAU, SPP, Tri-National Accord..it is the merging and regionalization of the Republic of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

10 Minute Citizen:  NASDA is your state Department of Agriculture.  They have joined together to form an Association that represents us.  Call your state Representatives, Senators, and Congressmen and women and tell them NO to regionalization.  Be polite as they are very nervous these days and you don’t want to the *t* list.

Y2Y: Not about ‘Saving Fuzzy Polar Bears’ its about Relocation and Depopulation of Humans

Proposed Y2Y legislation attempts to sell saving fuzzy wildlife but as the old saying goes, “Follow the money,” and you will find that there is BIG money behind the glossy presentation folders and power point.  This is an old eco-radical agenda that is gaining steam with the “greening” of America, called the, “The Wildlands Project”, the re-wilding of America.  The agenda calls for the relocation of human population centers and depopulation of humans to a “manageable” level.  You know something is amiss when the original documents for this program have been eliminated.

Sharpen your pencils and write some Memorandums of Opposition to the Senate sponsors and to the Natural Resources Committee.

Senator’s Jacobsen and Kline, just what are you thinking?

Please take time to send in a Memorandum of Opposition to prevent eco- radicals from invading Washington State.

The King County Agriculture Commission invites your ideas about the future of farming


The King County Agriculture Commission is sponsoring a series of 5 public meetings in early 2009 to gather information that will help shape the future of agriculture in King County.

Findings from these meetings and other research will be used in a report to the King County Council relating to the future of agriculture within the county¹s agricultural production districts, plus recommendations for legislation regarding the allowed size of agricultural accessory buildings.

We hope you can attend a meeting.  For details, go to: www.kingcounty.gov/wlr

The first meeting is scheduled for
Thursday, January 8  -   7:00 ­ 9:00 p.m.,
Madrona Room of the Carol Edwards Center,
17401 – 133rd Avenue NE in Woodinville.
Subsequent meetings are scheduled for Carnation, Auburn, Enumclaw and Vashon.

Meeting participants will be asked to share their opinions on several important questions, including:

  • What are you growing or raising and how is it changing?
  • What kinds of resources or services do you need to be a successful farmer in the future?
  • What are the trends you think are important to the future of farming in this region?
  • How can King County nurture and promote the business of farming for the future?


Your ideas on the future of farming can also be shared with King County through a short online questionnaire, on the county¹s Water and Land Resources Division Web site, http://www.kingcounty.gov/wlr.

For more information, contact Nancy Hutto, chair of the King County Agriculture Commission at 206-949-4550 or Steve Evans at steve.evans@kingcounty.gov .

Do you hear a sucking sound?  This is the profit from your farm going into the hands of global multi-national bureaucrats.

OIE Animal ID and Traceability Objectives and Themes

This conference aims to emphasise the importance and benefits of identification and traceability, to raise awareness of existing OIE and Codex standards, to determine future requirements for standards, and to provide advice and assistance on implementing standards, especially on behalf of developing countries. The OIE objective is to build upon the experience of governments, industry sectors and international organisations to identify practical techniques to achieve implementation of relevant international standards. This conference is not primarily about scientific research.

The participants will come from relevant national administrations and animal research and production groups. Presentations will cover all sectors of livestock production as well as traceability of food products. The particular needs of both developed and developing countries will be addressed, as well as the different technologies of identification and traceability available on the market. The conference will conclude with discussion and adoption of resolutions relevant to improvement of methods of implementation of animal identification and traceability.

The OIE will collate speakers’ presentations and papers and publish them as the official Conference Proceedings, which will be provided to participants in a booklet and CD-ROM and will also be available for purchase from the OIE.
The objectives that the Conference will aim to achieve in the various sequential sessions are as follow:

  • Raise international awareness of the relevant international standards published by the OIE and the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the bridge between the traceability of live animals and the traceability of products
  • Give practical information and technical advice on how to implement these standards in different industry sectors and national contexts
  • Review latest experience in public and private identification and traceability systems, with reference to the relevant international standards
  • Provide practical advice and examples to help national Veterinary Services and other agencies to play their appropriate role in regard to animal identification and traceability
  • Identify the type of support that can be provided by international organisations and donors to Veterinary Services and interested parties operating in developing countries, as appropriate to their needs, as regards the implementation of the OIE and Codex standards
  • Launch a discussion on the future standard setting needs for animal identification and traceability
  • Discuss and propose research and development priorities relevant to animal identification and traceability

First International Conference on Animal Identification & Traceability

The National Animal Identification System (NAIS) is not about food safety.  It is about food control. The NAIS scheme does not address American agricultural issues but is a contrived United Nations ‘tool’ for redistribution of agricultural assets.
