" an Ohio state ag department SWAT team raid on an organic coop, Pennsylvania ag department raids on horse and buggy Mennonites, California setting coliform levels so low fresh milk dairy farmers would need cows that produced pasteurized milk right out the udder, arrest and handcuffing of a single mother in front of her children for selling goat milk, the USDA paying its agents bonuses for foreclosing on farms, But in the EU where 60% of the Polish farmers are now gone because of identical bills enacted into law there, and 60 UK farmers have committed suicide, there is fire. And in Iraq, where they have been rendered helpless serfs by the theft of their country's seeds and criminalization of farmers' collection of their own seed, it is roaring. And in India where 182,000 farmers have committed suicide since the WTO and IMF got hold of agriculture and our Big Ag firms went in there, and 8 million farmers have left the land, it is out of control."
Solemn Walk Through HR 875
By Sue Diederich and Linn Cohen-Cole
As our House of Representatives and Senate near a vote on the Food Safety Act (proposed bills HR 875 and S 425), if passed into law we will see the control of food production and distribution in our nation go down the same path that the EU and other nations in world have been forcibly led and who are farther down the path of compliance to One World governance than are we. The Food Safety Act in tandem with NAIS (National Animal Identification System), if implemented, will put the US in full compliance with the Codex Alimentarious: the World Trade Organization's global trade regulations--and this is certainly not in the best interest of our nation, its farmers and consumers!
During this time of economic crisis/noncrisis one would think that local food self-reliance would be promoted by our elected representatives rather than made illegal! It attests to the artificial and manipulated nature of the current economic crisis/noncrisis and makes the point that it is just the creation of hype for the purpose of instilling anxiety and fear for the purpose of changing policy without public backlash! As is exactly the same case to be seen concerning the threat of global warming as an environmental crisis/noncrisis.
If you could see and realize the population reduction agenda that is really at the core of all of this and always has been, I'm sure it would quickly move you from your current complacency and into activism!
While there is still time, please read the article. There is a link within it to contact your Congress and let those whom we have voted into office know that we object to the passage of this legislation:
...the real, pathetic duplicity in all of this is that the overhaul of "food safety" is key on President Obama's agenda and he himself promoted/originated this legislation and subsequently we see the media hype about the Obama's planting a garden on the Whitehouse grounds!!!:

Your article is very sound and the globalization of food is one very sure move to one world order and to the loss of independence for farmers world wide as well as consumers. Keep your statistics coming as more awareness is better for good decisions by consumers. We cannot write our legislators without information on which to dispute potential changes. My one suggestion is to note the sources of your information at the bottom of your articles so that we can read the information from a link or an article location (considering the statistics especially).
