Agenda 21 Update: Family Farms Are Under Attack
The Blaze ^ | 7/31/11 | Mike Opelka

Posted on 07/31/2011 5:27:24 PM PDT by Nachum

Is the US government starting to implement the policies of the United Nation’s plan for global management of people and resources known as Agenda 21? The latest efforts out of the Department of Transportation (DOT) seem to indicate this is happening. And they are starting by targeting America’s farming communities with costly and oppressive regulations.

In Late May, the DOT proposed a rule change for farm equipment, and if it this allowed to take effect, it will place significant regulatory pressure on small farms and family farms all across America – costing them thousands of dollars and possibly forcing many of them out of business. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), part of the Department of Transportation (DOT), wants new standards that would require all farmers and everyone on the farm to obtain a CDL (Commercial Drivers License) in order to operate any farming equipment. The agency is going to accomplish this by reclassifying all farm vehicles and implements as Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs).

(It is also important to note here that DOT Secretary Ray LaHood holds a seat on the newly created White House Rural Council. A powerful group whose members have ties to George Soros and The Center For American Progress.)

“…the collectivists seek to control every aspect of the lives of every American and every person on the planet. The individualists wish only to win control over the degree of power possessed by government and wish no control over the lives of Americans — no power, no money, no special place in the economy. They want to ensure government remains constitutionall y limited and creates the proper environment for peace and prosperity. … In other words, individualists seek to liberate man and collectivists seek to control man.

I am recommending that everyone read the autobiography of Whittaker Chambers, the guy who testified against Alger Hiss. His explanation of the goal of communism, to use the human mind to make order out of the chaos of nature in an attempt to prove that man is the highest power, explains the politicization of the environmental movement and the attempt to re-order society through the Agenda 21. It’s stunning to think that the book was written in the fifties. He also wrote about the danger that Islam posed to the western world. It’s just an amazing book.

Is this the aim?

I recall the event when the communists used the control of food to starve a nation of people.

Agree.

Christ is going to come back and interupt their little plan though.

I took a John Deere tractor with a big cutter bar and mowed a large field of grass/hay at age 8 with about 5 minutes of instruction. The objective is to prevent under 18 family members from contributing to work on the family farm, It may weed out illegals in the process.

Don’t take the equipment on the road,no authority.

FYI,

"This proposed change literally means family farms could no longer legally allow young workers, not old enough to drive and seniors who no longer drive on the public streets, to operate a tractor… even on the family’s private property."

I believe that about 1 in 5 males are to some degree color blind. That would keep them from getting a CDL in most states.

This is ridiculous. Myself, I’d just tell them to screw off and drive my tractor anyway. It may get to that point where many will just ignore these laws and go on with their lives.

My father is blind in one eye and he still got a CDL.

BTW, I was talking to one of the mechanics on my delivery routes (I deliver auto parts) and he told me the EPA will require all motors and engines on lawn mowers, tractors and motorcycles to be water cooled. Has anyone else heard of this?

You said "These are the things that republcans should be screaming at the top of their lungs about. Just proves to me they’re all in it together. Keep the gravy train flowing so they can live the high life."

Response: Absolutely correct.

Comment: They will kill us to keep their perks and this will continue until they are taken out of their offices naked.

Color blindness is actually more of a deal breaker.

I wouldn't doubt it...

Below is probably what America will look like before the end of the Obama Administration.

Farmers will simply ignore the rule and you can bet the county sheriffs will not enforce it.

Shoot, the Dept. of Education has SWAT teams now. Why not the DOT?

Vehicle operators licenses are a State matter. I don't believe the feds can implement this without their consent.
But with this dictatorial nut-case as POTUS who knows?
