"H.R. Bill 875: To establish the Food Safety
Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services to
protect the public health by preventing food-borne illness, ensuring
the safety of food, improving research on contaminants leading to
food-borne illness, and improving security of food from intentional
contamination, and for other purposes."
Editorial Note:
The
phrase "and for other purposes" is a powerful tool the
government can use to apply this proposed law any way they want
This particular
‘socialist’ bill, if passed into law, will affect each and every one
of us in rural counties in states throughout our entire nation.
Designed under the guise of protecting people from e-coli and
salmonella, the 90 pages of text and is really meant to
socialize our food production and distribution and squeeze out the
small independent farmer.
The legislation will
place under government control all private places where food is grown,
stored, processed and distributed. In the bill, the term
‘food production facility’ means any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard,
aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation. Simply
put, these two definitions cover every grain, vegetable, and meat
producing and storage facility in the nation. It mandates, by law,
government control over all grain elevator operators, stock yards,
ranchers, farmers, Community Supported Agriculture or CSA operations,
and farmer’s markets. If you sell your cattle to a stockyard or sell
your excess
vegetables in a stand on the edge of the road, your property and
methods of ranching and farming falls under the direct control of this
proposed law.
Under this act
federal agents are given complete domain over your private property.
The act mandates that anyone who produces food of any kind – meat,
milk, fruit, vegetables, grains, ect. – and transports that food for
sale will be subject to warrant-less government inspections of their
farms and food production records. Random inspections by federal
agents are legally mandated without regard to farmers’ personal rights
or property rights! Further, the law would legally permit federal
agents working for the Food Safety Administration to enter your
property randomly and confiscate your production records and/or
products as they deem fit
during a random, unannounced inspection process!
Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Federal Government can
implement restrictions regarding how farm animals can or should be fed
and how your fields must be planted and managed. They will simply give
you rules to be followed for what they consider are the legal
requirements of the act. Every food grower is required to sign up for
the program no less than 90 days after the passage of the bill. The
fine for not registering, and eventually being
caught, is $1 million dollars.
Additionally, there is a $1 million dollar fine fine for denying
federal agents unlimited, random access to your property. This fine
covers denying access to your property, your fields, your cattle
feeding and processing procedures, and your records. By the way, your
records are also mandated to be kept and in good order at the time of
any random inspection. Even if you are in compliance, federal agents
have the legal right to suggest and demand that you alter and
follow their directives on how you must raise your livestock and plant
your fields from this point forward.
The Bill was introduced by a Congresswoman, whose husband works for
Monsanto, one of the largest worldwide food related companies. Who
owns a very large share of stock in Monsanto, ADM, Cargill?
Here's a hint ... many of our government representatives and
investment bankers.
