Looks like the moderators at that site too down my post... lol

It was something like this:

The government has an iron grip on the agricultural sector of this economy. The government forces growers to dump large portions of their crops in order to artificially raise prices. You need a federal license to grow a peanut. Ever heard of the Dairy Compact? The Egg Board? Did you know that in 2009 or so, millions of pounds of tart cherries were left to rot on the ground by government edict, in order to raise prices. The US had to import tart cherries to make pie filling that year. The government had a program that was taking upwards of half the crop of table grapes out of the market. It was finally tossed in a lawsuit. We have a Soviet-type agricultural system in this country. We have government programs paying farmers not to grow stuff, paying them to grow stuff, paying them if they grew too much or too little. It is totally insane what our government does and has been doing in some cases since the 30’s.

Facts screw up their narrative. Of course they have to silence you.

Keep pissing them off.
