How the Federal Government Seeks to Control Our Food Supply
Granite Grok ^ | September 7, 2024 | John Klar

Posted on 09/07/2024 10:46:56 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Food prices are climbing, but soon will soar — inflation is ensured due to recent massive spending. As Americans are pushed to consume artificial meat as a solution to the alleged environmental impact of cow farts, the government seeks to expand its techno-monitoring, in the name of “health and safety,” by requiring the RFID chipping of all livestock. The argument is that animal tracking will protect the public from an animal disease outbreak.

This pretense to control all food production for health and safety is reminiscent of the argument that gain-of-function research used to create the COVID-19 virus  was motivated not for bioweapons research but to “prevent a pandemic.” Writer Wendell Berry has been warning for decades that government agencies and academic bigshots conspire to destroy farms in the name of helping them.

The federal government, eagerly helped by the Vermont Agency of Agriculture Food and Markets (VAAFM), seeks to implant microchips in all livestock, beginning with dairy cows. But the pretended purpose of tracking safety is not served by imposing these requirements on small producers and on-farm slaughter operations, the businesses that are most thriving even before COVID, but which are the hardest for the federal government to track.

The threat of disease from farm animals is modest at best — especially in tiny, geographically dispersed, often closed (no animals coming or going) herds. My sheep and beef, for instance, are slaughtered on the very grass on which they dropped to the ground at birth — this is “cradle to grave” technology, long in use in Vermont without compromise to the health and safety of Vermonters. Yet, in the interest of...

Many fiction, sci-fi, and dystopian novel writers seem that way. They seem to have this ability to see where we’re going better than most.

Tell it brother. I’ve been trying to tell folks we’re headed for unbelievably bad times, but they don’t want to hear it. Oh well...

It’s scary, what the world will morph into.

And those “outside” the system, (i.e. Tribulation Saints) are going to be in for a rough ride, especially after the Mark fo the Beast starts in the middle of the 7 years.

It will be worth it, though they will be beheaded. They WILL live forever and their tormentors will get the Lake of Fire for all of Eternity.

The very thought of “artificial meat” is disgusting. Let the government officials who are pushing this idea be the ones to eat this crap. Leave the rest of us alone.

There is a vast difference between voluntary adoption of a technology for your own farm purposes and forced adoption for the government’s purposes.

The USDA should be shut down.

More people are catching on to the actions taken in implementing Crntral Planning.
“What we are up against is a global system. A system. Not a clutch of conspirators. Not a political party. Not a “cabal.” A system. A decentralized, supra-national, hegemonic, global system. Which is eliminating internal resistance. Like a body’s immune system fighting an infection. Yes, the system is run by people, individual people, but they are all replaceable, interchangeable parts of the system. No one is giving anyone orders to censor anyone or prosecute anyone or telling anyone what to publish or broadcast. No one has to. Anyone in any position of power knows what to do, without being ordered. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be in their positions. They are organs of the body that the system comprises. We are the infection.
Until we understand that, and accept it, and embrace it, we are going to get nowhere. CJ Hopkins

“environmental impact of cow farts,”

How can you tell the difference between cow farts and the brain farts that come out of DC?

“methane- and hydrogen-positive participants generally had a significantly higher BMI than their counterparts....the predominant methane-producing microbe, or methanogen, in the human gastrointestinal tract (GI) is Methanobrevibacter smithii (M. smithii).”

https://www.cedars-sinai.edu/research-education/research/departments-institutes/diabetes-obesity/methane-producing-obesity.html

“Methane is found in the gut of around 30-50% of adults.”

https://www.goodnessme-nutrition.com/sibo/could-intestinal-methanogen-overgrowth-be-causing-your-constipation/

“Biogas is mostly methane (60 percent) and also contains carbon dioxide with smaller amounts of other gases.

“At the wastewater treatment plant, biogas is produced in large cylinders called digesters. In the digesters, anaerobic (without oxygen) microorganisms (tiny bugs) speed up the decomposition of those solids. The biogas can be used for heating or electricity. When refined by filtering out impurities, the resulting methane can be used as fuel. Methane from biogas is also called renewable natural gas, and can be used interchangeably with fossil fuel-produced gas.”

Methane is produced by swamps, volcanos, and termites as well.

Also, those blaming cows and claiming the need to reduce them forget or choose to ignore the fact that a couple hundred years ago there were far more bison roaming the prairie across this country and Canada than there are cows in the US now.

Oh, and the oceans produce methane as well.

Peek behind the curtain for the bigger picture, if you dare.

From https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/report/reset-the-table-meeting-the-moment-to-transform-the-u-s-food-system/

Fundamental change needed in the U.S. food system

Over the past few months, The Rockefeller Foundation gathered a diverse group of more than 100 experts – from farmers and food industry leaders to social justice, health, environmental, and nutrition security advocates. Together, we explored not just how to meet this moment, but also how to transform the U.S. food system over the long-term to more effectively promote healthy people and a healthy planet.

Smithfield foods, mentioned in the article, is owned by a Hong Kong based company, WH GROUP LTD, listed among the financial interests of the Rockefeller Fund WH GROUP LTD on page 116.

Cargill is also found on the Rockefeller Brothers fund 2021-12/2020 990PF on pg. 126, the Corporate Bonds page but there is one more company listed on the RBF 990PF that is more to the point of this response.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CGI_Inc presents another slant in the story not even mentioned in the misleading or, perhaps giving a generous measure of benefit of the doubt, only poorly researched, https://granitegrok.com/national/2024/09/how-the-federal-government-seeks-to-control-our-food-supply story.

https://www.rbf.org/sites/default/files/2021-12/2020_RBF_990PF.pdf pg 124 provides the evidential link between the corporate controllers while https://www.cgi.com/en/article/overview/cgi-history establishes their direct avenue of influence on the government for the corporate benefactors of CGI's investors.

...The name "CGI" is the French acronym for "Conseillers en gestion et informatique," which means information systems and management consultants. In English, the acronym stands for "Consultants to Government and Industry."

...In 2021, we expanded our footprint into U.S. Air Force and space command with CGI Federal’s acquisition of Array Holding Company, a leading digital services provider that optimizes mission-performance for the U.S. Department of Defense and other government organizations. We also deepened our footprint in Spain and strengthened our client-proximity model with our acquisition of Cognicase Management Consulting (CMC), a leading provider of technology and management consulting services and solutions for over 25 years...

That's this year's model of UNrecognized tyranny leading to another weaponized famine the controllers are good at instigating and the communists are expert at managing and oligarchs are good at benefitting from. Have we learned anything from their plannedemic about rolling over?

(From the article) : " This pretense to control all food production for health and safety is reminiscent of the argument that gain-of-function research

" (Emphasis Mine)

"The threat of disease from farm animals is modest at best — especially in tiny, geographically dispersed, often closed (no animals coming or going) herds."

(My Opinion) : First they came for the livestock, and micro chipped them, but I was not one of them and did nothing.
Then they came for the domestic pets, and micro chipped them, but I was not one of them, and did nothing.
Then they came for the humans, and micro chipped them, but I was one of them, and got culled from the population

This is another case of "government overreach" to create a problem which doesn't exist (!), but
it does lean towards making conventional microchiping more common and respectable, and allowing 'the camel's nose to come under the tent'.
It is an un-needed expense and gives rise to more government agency control over the food supply.
