I remember watching a film about Gandhi. He was arrested for making salt since the law said salt had to be purchased from the British occupying companies or forces.

The best will be the neighborhood snitches.... kinda like in Kalifornia where they are rattin’ on each other for using wood burning fireplaces on ‘not allowed days.’ Now the nosy neighbor will be turning you in to the food police.

[I bet all of the farmers who have been existing off the democratic tit all these years will be outraged.

Then again, they’re democrats, they probably won’t even notice.]

Huh? My family is farmers on both sides and they are all Republicans.

Hopefully, some over reach with its roots in arrogance by our betters will demonstrate to enough reguklar people that they need to rein in our ruling classes before it is all gone.

One can only hope. And stockpile ammo.

Good that is what I wanted to hear.

Thank you for the ping, I posted a link on our survival thread.

Didn’t Stalin nationalize farming methods that enabled his administration to gain control over the food supply? Didn’t Stalin use the food to control the people?

Remember that speech when zer0 said” You can’t eat all the food you want.........” I found that odd and thought eventually he would try to control the food industry. Classic Stalin.

As usual they will vote on this based on what someone else is saying
________________
I think it is nothing short of criminal that they don’t read every single page of anything they vote on. I think each one of them should have to initial each page before they vote. This is insanity. INSANITY!

So if this passes, because I have a substantial amount of ground, the FSA police will come snooping around.

I wonder what the disappearance rates for inspectors will be.

Revenuers used to go missing back in the old days.

BTW I'm not advocating violence. I really wonder what the numbers would be.

[mojitojoe]

They’ve taken control of our kids, our property, our businesses, next our bodies, and now our food.

And sheeple willingly let them. You can’t blame them. They have such willing participants. The government works for us. Somewhere along the line, the roles got reversed. If they were reversed once, they can be reversed again.

I have a cottage soap/cosmetic making business.

I first heard about the FDA Globalization Act early last year. Initially, we were told there would be an annual fee to register our products. The registration fee was rumored between $2,000-$10,000 per year. As a small business, the annual fees would be a burden if not prohibitive. We will be required to document formulas and follow strict production requirements. This part I can agree with. I want safe cosmetics like everyone else.

I’ve only seen bits of the 2009 FDA GA and hope that letters and calls from myself and hundreds like me will loosen if not stop this thing.

I don't think anyone can honestly answer that but I will say:

The guerrilla survives and succeeds by his dependence upon the populace and their support of his actions.

Postponing enforcement only means they are still coming to get American poison peddlers but keeping foreign poison peddlers like China in business to fill the gaps.

[o_zarkman44]

“agents” tasked with going to citizens’ homes, clipboard in hand, to check their victory gardens and kitchens.”

They will start disappearing guaranteed.

This is violation of private property rights at the highest level. If they don’t like your food plot they will spray it with paraquat and you will never ever be in compliance again.

PING!

A long read, but worth it. Let’s hope this piece of garbage doesn’t make it out of committee.
