USDA manages a database to identify the self-sustainers
American Thinker ^ | 13 Oct, 2022 | Olivia Murray

Our own mindlessness leads us like sheep to the slaughter.

Have you ever heard the expression, “lipstick on a pig”?

America’s entrenched bureaucracy, often referred to as the Fourth Branch, is that pig. No amount of superficial or cosmetic measures can obscure the fact that federal agencies of unelected policymakers are no different than dirty sties full of gorged swine (there’s a reason wanton and greedy spending is called “pork”).

‘Lipstick’ comes in many forms: “news” reports from a once-sacred institution like American journalism is really just propaganda, the use of words like “progress” and “sustainability” cover over agendas of eugenics and genocide, and now, a new and chic marketing ploy muddies the waters of what should be worrisome data collection.

Enter, another federal database, this time managed by the United States Department of Agriculture. Cutely named the “People’s Garden Initiative”, the directory compiles locations and information regarding small scale gardening endeavors. Gee, what could possibly go wrong?

But here’s the craziest part: the Machiavellian operatives besieging what should be a limited and subordinate federal government, are flaunting their political prowess. With this move, their subjugative aggressions aren’t even by force.

Instead, they adroitly manipulate the populace to enthusiastically sprint towards the abattoir. We only have our own mindlessness and self-aggrandizing spirits to blame. It’s death by a thousand cuts, not death by one cut. We can take a few slashes so long as we get featured and tagged on social media as a virtuous influencer.

From a USDA webpage which touts the project:

The simple act of planting a garden can have big impacts – from building a more diverse and resilient local food system to empowering communities to address issues like nutrition access and climate change.

How can the marxists do food rationing if you have a garden?

Simple.....gardeners will be classified as hoarders and everything you have will be confiscated....for the good of all of course.

If they know where it is, they can send a drone to spray it with Round Up or perhaps harvest it to “share” your produce in a more equitable fashion than you would on your own.

When Ceausescu totally ruined Rumania, to the point that no food was available, he started promoting urban agriculture like this.

How did my raspberry patch suddenly become part of the "local food system" or the "community"? No wonder the left hates children's books like The Little Red Hen where all the loafers refuse to work but demand to share the hen's bread.

It is a ploy to eventually force registration an permitting. Which at some point can be denied if they like. Just like a driver’s license.

There are more USDA parasites than farmers. Let that sink in.

The USDA is yet another federal agency that needs to be shuttered. I don’t need them in my garden for “food safety” or any other reason. I don’t need them inspecting food that I buy at the grocery store. We don’t need them wasting tax dollars on school lunches. That’s a parent’s responsibility.

When they find out more white people garden it will become racist and you’ll have to give 80% of your vegetables seats so you don’t eat more than your “fair share”.

“Growing food is a privilege!”

And that is exactly what this con is designed to do. The only reason more did not starve too death during the Great Depression was because backyard gardens and livestock were very common. They want to remove this advantage to better implement The Great Culling during this coming Great Depression 2.0
