Senate Bill S510 (Kiss that garden good-bye)

[Lowsix Profile]

Cops here routinely run sweeps with Flir Helicopters on attics in the newer subdivisions, since the downturn made large houses more affordable, lots of rentals were going to green growers, but ALSO a few 'organic' farmers, who were growing and selling fruit and vegetables to local markets claiming they were organic 'field' grown.

PLANT BOMBS, NOT SEEDS!
We might as well, we are going to lose everything anyhow.
May as well take some of these bastards with us.
I need something to wipe my feet on in Hell anyway.
May as well be the soul of some gov. asshole.

It's like heating the water very slowly, the frog won't even notice until it's too late.

Here's a cute little blog that spells it out a little better.

And no, I don't think that the jackbooted thugs are going to be kicking in my door anytime soon to confiscate my tomatoes (good luck to them, the heat got most of them already anyway), but I do know that this bill will pretty much eliminate the sweet little old hippie farmer who sells us fresh organic produce at his yard stand. Ditto the fresh eggs from his free range chickens. And most small farmer's market sellers, and local CSAs...and animal farmers who are committed to small family farming and humane practices over profit. Mother Earth News did an article awhile back about the animal tracking requirements of this bill and how the cost of the equipment alone would come close to breaking small family owned livestock operations while benefiting factory farms.

Perhaps my topic title was a bit dramatic, but I wanted people to actually read this and learn about it and maybe get a little interested...it's the principle of the damn thing. This bill makes it seem like it's for our own protection and safety...typical NWO b.s. "They" know full well that if they make it seem like it's for our own good (someone please think of the children) the majority of the American public will bend over and give up any amount of civil liberty. Meanwhile, nobody, in reading the harmless and even helpful sounding language of the bill realizes that it's not small farms and organic growers who are making people sick: it's miserable factory farms like the ones bankrolled by Monsanto and their ilk. The wretched corporate pig farm down the street from my house, who daily ship out truckloads of screaming pigs covered with weeping sores can surely afford all the fees and special permits and equipment and bullshit. It won't make their product safer or their practices less vile, it'll just mean more money for big business and babysitter government. Meanwhile, Bob's Farm will go under because Bob can't pay thousands of dollars for tracking devices and computer software for his 25 chickens and CSA fees and licenses for his front yard veggie stand.

Which means that you and me and whoever will eventually have no choice but to haul our butts down to the local Sprawl-Mart and pay too much for pale pink tomatoes that taste like wet cardboard and are pumped full of poison. Thereby lining the pockets of Monsanto and whoever else. But hey, we get to see Farmer Bob while we're there, because I'm sure he'll be working as a door greeter.

Go money go.
