HR 778 IH…The fresh milk bill no one talks about

 By: Marti Oakley  All rights reserved 

 

It would appear earlier this year Rep. Ron Paul (R) Texas, introduced this simple bill into the record of the House.  Here we are in Mid-November, eleven months later……and not one co-sponsor or any action has been taken on this bill.  It is sitting idle in committee. 

While this bill lies unaddressed, northeastern dairy producers and northern plain’s states producers are under attack by hostile corporate raiders with what would appear to be the full compliance and facilitation of state and federal legislators, along with unlawfully empowered unelected bureaucracies which operate as the enforcement agencies for corporate interests

I find it more than odd that not ONE legislator at the federal level in those states where private and independent dairy operations are under attack from instate agencies, has lent their prestigious names to this appeal for consumer choice, evidently opting instead to allow this assault on individual rights and freedom. 

Corruption of government is never more apparent than when corporate pirates and raiders are invited to the table while the average citizen who will be adversely affected are kept out of the room.  

Of all the bills scheduled for the November 18, 2009 Fake food Safety mark-up…….this bill is not included for debate.  Go figure.   _______________________________________

Al Gore’s Confession: CO2 Not the Major Cause of Global Warming

Farm Wars

We are not in a global warming phase. That is a blatant lie. The following story by Paul Joseph Watson confirms that Al Gore’s CO2 “theory” is bunk, and right out of the horse’s mouth. But will this have an impact on Obama’s decision to sign the Copenhagen treaty or play a part in the carbon tax or cap and trade agenda? NOT! These people will continue with their world domination agenda via the global warming scam no matter what lies are revealed.

Time to stand up and be counted people! Shout this as far and wide as you can: AL GORE LIED ABOUT CO2! What else is he lying about? Well, I would say, just about everything.  READ MORE…

The Festering Fraud behind Food Safety Reform

Farm Wars

“The general public must recognize that only after the demystification of U.S. agriculture will family farmers, labor, and consumers see beyond corporate agribusiness’ manipulations to the point where they will recognize that both their mutual interests and the future of agriculture can be best decided through a system that not only practices political democracy, but economic democracy as well.” – Ingolf Voegler

Wisconsin: Dairy farmers told to remain silent

By: Marti Oakley                                   

To: Wisconsin Dairy Farmers:

You might want to look into the anti-trust lawsuit filed in October of this year on behalf of dairy farmers in the northeast facing the same situations you are: and Wisconsin is mentioned in this suit.  Its not all that needs to be done, but it is a starting point and one I am sure no one told you about no matter how many times you hit the “donate” button. 

__________________________________

In response to the alert listed below, sent to the Vice President of WICFA, a request was made to gather all the support we could for Wisconsin dairy farmers who have been relentlessly harassed by the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and their constantly changing regulations that have no other intent than to disrupt the dairy farming industry in order to force compliance to unconstitutional and unlawful regulations.  Citizens Committee  link.

The PPJ Alliance took this seriously and we answered this call for support.  At the eleventh hour, this same organization sending this Action Alert out, and a national foundation along with a few locals…….pulled the rug out from under the dairy farmers and called off any public protest of DATCP and their police state policies.

I suspect there is far more to this than the dairy men are aware of.  No media, no news coverage, no public attention to what is happening?  And in fact, you were all told NOT to show up at a public meeting? 

It seems to me there is a possibility that something was in the works you dairy folk aren’t supposed to know about…….and now that we here at the PPJ acted on your behalf……it appears some are suggesting we be the targeted scapegoat for what could be a process still in negotiations……just waiting for the right time to drop the gavel. 

That’s just my opinion of course.  Time will tell.  For those who might believe they will use us to explain their failure to yield positive results…….we’re waiting. 

Marti Oakley

UPDATE:  It is being suggested by people who were not in attendance at the Madison meeting that those who were there raged, stomped their feet and acted irrationally. 

Those who were in attendance reported that the meeting was civil and well received…….there was no bad behavior exhibited by anyone on either side.

Derry Brownfield: The voice in the heartland

We send our thanks and gratitude to national radio host Derry Brownfield who pre-empted his daily show to allow us to help get the word out that Wisconsin dairy farmers needed support at the November 11, 2009, Madison Wisconsin meeting of the Citizens Advisory Committee for DATCP.  

The idea that Derry was willing at a moments notice to lend his airtime and his support to Wisconsin’s battle is commendable to say the least.   

Thank you also, to all of Derry’s listeners who headed for Wisconsin to stand with the Wisconsin dairymen in this battle to preserve their rights and their property.

Wisconsin:Too many “helpful” organizations have a vested interest in your continued tax-deductible donations and membership fees

by: Sue Diederich                                                     

Copyright (C) 2009 All rights reserved

Excerpt from this article:

“Any organization that would tell you NOT to mobilize in as big a manner as possible, when the issue affects you personally (or will down the line) needs to be questioned as to where they recycled the Cracker-Jack box their credentials came out of. I don’t care if its your church, your allumni club, or a bunch of so-called do-gooders that take your money. If they dare to question the idea of having people stand up for what is right – they are straight from hell. You know it, so do they.”

 

The Shyster Attorneys from Hell would have us all believe that a LACK of grass-roots support, a LACK of media attention, and a LACK of individual control over actions would save the day in Wisconsin. When (yes… Name ONE time…) has this EVER been successful???

When did “stay home and watch TV or play with the kids” EVER win a legal or legislative cause? Who will help those who will not help themselves?

Think… What was it that Erin Brockovich (sp) did that made her famous? She was a SECRETARY at a law firm. A former teen beauty, single Mom, broke, alone and basically uneducated. She couldn’t even get her job without tricking her way into the position.

She found out something was wrong. She was one person….

Her boss wouldn’t listen, so what did she do? Did she listen to him – the big high-powered attorney? NO!!! She went straight to the people affected. She went to the press. She created a COMMUNITY of people all centered around a single issue.

What happened??? TOGETHER, Erin, the people affected, and even eventually the press (which was against her from the start, just as it is with FRESH MILK and NAIS) WON. That’s right – the larger that community of grass-roots, everyday, normal, not extraordinary people won the case.

That is not going to happen against DATCP so long as we continue to avoid doing what Erin did. We CANNOT win this the way these so-called not-for-profits would have us believe.

Too many “helpful” organizations have a vested interest in your continued tax-deductible donations and membership fees. Too many people are making a fast (and HUGE) buck off of our hopes, dreams and our fears. Too many people set themselves up as “experts” – in law, in agriculture in networking, and don’t have a single qualification other that their own word – which most times isn’t worth a pee bucket with a hole in the bottom.

News Alert – Regulation doesn’t do crap.

 

 By: Lynn Swearingen                                

 

Government Fairytales

 

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful and powerful fairy. Her job, as elected by all the lovely little mushroom dwellers, was to skippty-skop through the dangerous and dark halls of far off lands to protect them from all evil doers (both Foreign and Domestic).

 

 Waiving her magic gavel, she gave throughout the land edicts with all of the other good and benevolent fairies, rules and regulations that would make this world a better place. Dip here – and poof – all the nasty stuff would be gone!

 But wait – what is this – an evil wrongdoer mislead by another continued to practice the unsavory acts that had been “Regulated” just earlier in the sunny spring of La La Land.

 

 

“Oh my” she shrieked “How could this have happened? Who is responsible?”

“Not I” Shouted the important person in charge of Victimonia. “That was Big Regulation Sector Boss Tommy-Too-Late!”

 

 “Not I” Shouted Tommy. For while enforcing regulations was technically his responsibility, Tommy had been flying around the planet showing how not dangerous the new snuffly-can’t breathe-non-emergency disease (and that the Oinkies were not dangerous to consume) was.

  

“Not I” Shouted the owner of the place where the crime had been committeed. “How I could I have known what happened on my property all of the time. There has been no edict passed!”

 

And so the beauteous and miraculous fairy raised her wand again. “I will regulate this until no more nasties are allowed in this land! (Except for the periodic toys and dried milk products – we need that for the Children).

Staging the collapse of private dairy operations: A corporate coup’

A 2007 University of Georgia article entitled “New Zealand Partnership may boost milk in Georgia” caught my attention as it seemed to be arbitrary to everything from the USDA I had been reading.  According to the article Georgia had lost more than 150 dairy’s since 2000 and predicted a milk shortage if this new technology, covered by proprietary right under the TRIPS (1) agreement, wasn’t implemented.  The eastern seaboard could see a milk shortage.

This all sounded really alarming until I remembered that the USDA had a long running program of dairy herd culling; eliminating or thinning of dairy herds across the US by the thousands due to a “glut” of milk on the market.  How could Georgia possibly be in danger of inadequate milk supplies: apparently there is so much milk on the market, dairy cows are being slaughtered for meat to slow milk production. With this in mind, I looked into what this New Zealand Partnership might be about.

Wisconsin DATCP proudly announces plans to target several more private property owners

Copyright (C) 2009 Marti Oakley All rights resrved without exception

This is a public announcement of a premeditated assault on property owners in violation of the Wisconsin Constitution and individual property rights made by Donna Gibson on behalf of Wisconsin DATCP (Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection) in an interview with AgriView.    

Why is no one pressing charges against her and other DATCP personnel and officials for making public threats and plans of harm to sovereign property owners in the state?

On October 21, 2009 in Wisconsin Circuit Court, Polk County, Judge Molly E. Galewyrick found Pat & Melissa Monchilovich guilty of failure to register premises.   During that court proceeding and under oath, DATCP representatives admitted the program was not of benefit and probably never would be.  Still, DATCP seems quite proud of their targeting of this family, and their subsequent threats to target others in Wisconsin.

In my opinion, this is nothing less than a threat of intended harm and the use of coercion and duress to force compliance to what is nothing more than an assault on private property rights perpetrated by state officials in violation of their offices and in violation of the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin.   It would appear that state officials launching these attacks on property owners are not aware that Wisconsin has such a document or that they are bound to work within its scope and limitations. 

Notes from Wisconsin: Something funny happened after court the other day!

_________

Having attended the trial of Pat and Melissa Monchilovich at Balsam Lake, I found it more like viewing a site being cleared by a bulldozer.  Judge Molly GaleWyrick cleared the path for Wisconsin’s Department of Agriculture to further its agenda of an alleged disease control program.   The Media in their true slanted fashion picked away at the obstructions around the edges, avoiding the hard facts like stones.

I had arrived at Pat’s house before the trial to find a young family supported by the community via phone calls and a helpful sister in law waiting to baby sit.  Pat was understandably nervous, as a way of life he had come to know for generations was being threatened. 

During the proceedings the Judge indicated that Pat and Melissa should have made their arguments in an administrative hearing not in her courtroom.  Interesting thought, as the original motion to dismiss voided by the Judge was based on the failure of DATCP to provide just such a hearing. 

When Pat raised the point of not having a premises on title, the Judge turned to the assistant district attorney Moria Ludvigson for an explanation of what Pat was saying, “he must mean that there isn’t a 911 address where the cattle are kept” Moria replied. 

One of the best places to follow the money behind NAIS is Wisconsin

http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/

Read full article here

Case Study: Wisconsin

One of the best places to follow the money behind NAIS is Wisconsin, where the Wisconsin Livestock Identification Consortium (WLIC) and its partner group, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection (WDATCP)81 have managed to secure close to $7 million in federal funding and more than a million dollars in non-federal funding over the last eight years.82,83 Bolstered by a state law requiring every farm premises to be registered in a central database, these groups are serving as administrators of what amounts to a state-level pilot project for NAIS.

The WLIC, a consortium of private industry stakeholders and government agencies, has used these federal tax dollars to fund groups that could benefit financially from NAIS. By the middle of 2005, WLIC reportedly was funding more than a dozen research projects valued at close to $400,000, with money going to the Wisconsin Pork Association,84 which currently sits on the WLIC board of directors, and Smithfield, a current member of WLIC.85

WLIC was founded in 2002 as “a proactive, livestock industry- driven effort”86 with a mission “to create a secure, nationally compatible livestock identification system.”87 The members and affiliates of the consortium read like a laundry list of the corporate and private interests that stand to gain from a mandatory NAIS. The big animal-ID tech companies, like AgInfoLink, Digital Angel, Global Animal Management, Y-Tex and Allflex USA, are all represented as members.88

In coalition with the Wisconsin Department of Trade and Consumer Protection, the WLIC has developed its own USDA-compliant Animal Tracking Database — one of six that the USDA considers fully functional and capable of providing traceability.89

The push for animal tracking in Wisconsin, however, has not gone smoothly. Some farmers continue to resist registering their premises or participating in animal identification — either because of privacy or property rights concerns, or, in the case of Amish farmers, on religious grounds.90 In 2007, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture began sending letters to dairy farmers on unregistered premises indicating their milk production licenses could be revoked if they failed to register their farms.91 This threat, which would have essentially forced non-compliant dairy farmers to go out of business, was eventually softened,92 but to critics of NAIS, it demonstrates the heavy-handed tactics that government agencies are willing to use to promote the program.

WICFA: Wisconsin organization gearing up for the coming battles

 

 

Hello WICFA Friends and Members:                                

 

We have some good news and some news that is not so good. 

 

First of all, we have rebuilt the WICFA website.  We have thrown away the frames construction of the previous version so that it will be much easier to view the site in its entirety using just about any screen resolution.  I hope that you find the new version easier to read and navigate.  If you have any content that would be helpful for others to be able to view, please forward it to cj@wicfa.org and we would be glad to review it and possibly post it to our website.  We are looking for some help in putting information together about the raw milk persecutions that are starting to spread around the state.  Can you imagine that, we love to call ourselves the dairy state and our state is now attacking farmers for doing just that, dairying?

Infowars’ War on the Truth

by: Gary Rea                                                

Copyright (c) 2009 All rights reserved.

Since sometime last year, I have been aware of the truth about Alex Jones, from his betrayal of John Gray to the fact that GCN – for which he is the main on-air talent  – is an ABC affiliate, owned by billionaire Ted Anderson.

Having become aware of this, I’ve made it part of my mission to awaken his audience to these facts and to the fact that the so-called “alternative media” that Jones pretends to lead is to the so-called “mainstream media” what the Democrats are to the Republicans. In other words, the media – “mainstream” and “alternative,” alike – is owned and controlled by the same interests and is but another example of the elite’s centuries-old control of society via seemingly opposing interests and groups that covertly share the same agenda. It is, in short, a false dichotomy, used to control all factions at once.

Yesterday, in response to pro-Jones and pro-Ron Paul comments posted to articles on Infowars, I left some comments of my own and this time I included links to images of Ron Paul and Alex Jones both flashing the manu cornuto, or “horned hand” sign – the international sign of greeting between luciferians, which is also being used in public, increasingly, by leaders of the New World Order. Whether one believes in the supernatural or not, it is a certainty that the NWO elite do and that their Babylonian “mystery religion” is at the heart of their actions. In any case, one has to ask why it is Alex Jones and Ron Paul – supposed “Christians” and leaders of the “patriot movement” – are flashing the same hand sign used by NWO leaders and minions all over the world.

Bushway Brutality to Bob Calves is a symptom of Big Bureaucracy and Business

By: Lynn Swearingen Copyright 2009 All rights reserved

 

The inspection schedule in Vermont is not publicly known, however information provided shows that at least 3 times in the past 6 months Bushway was shut down for one day due to non-compliance. Not for a burned out light bulb in the loo, but for “mistreating animals”.

Conflicting information is provided through various sources on the inspection authority. Vermont ’s website shows that Bushway is a State Inspected facility. yet the Burlington Free Press quotes Diane Bothfeld, deputy secretary of the Vermont state Agriculture, Food & Markets Agency as follows:

“Bothfeld said the state did not know about those citations until Friday, when the U.S. Agriculture Department divulged them in a letter to the state outlining its response to the society’s investigation. Bothfeld said the reason the state did not know about the previous citations was because federal inspectors are not required to disclose such information to the state. The federal government oversaw inspections at the Bushway plant because the meat it was processing was being sold in other states as well as Vermont.”

Part 2

In Part 1 of this series I addressed what appears to be the participation of the State of Georgia, its Extension services and Land Grant universities in conjunction with New Zealand Dairy Management Systems and Cullen Agritech, along with several other newly created investment collectives, and individuals.  

The planned eradication of private dairy operations being practiced in Georgia will be the model used to seize all land useful for dairying, across the southeastern U.S.  Once this model begins systematically being put in place in the Southeastern states, the elimination of dairy herds in the rest of the nation will begin in earnest.  All milk will be produced in this one geographical area. 

It appears that not only is there a concerted effort afoot in Georgia to convert dairy production to an industrialized corporate complex, but at the same time a massive battle is being fought in the northeast by small and independent dairy producers being driven out of business by corporate mergers designed to prevent them from conducting their businesses, forcing this market into industrialization.

Jackass alert # 7

It appears a newly announced meeting has been scheduled for Wisconsin dairy farmers, with Wisconsin, Department of Agriculture ,Trade and Consumer Protection” also known as DATCP. 

I have this odd feeling that DATCP actually stands for “Department of Agricultural Terrorists, Corruption and Politics”; but that’s just what I think.  I could be totally wrong.

The evil in Wisconsin Food Safety — and what it means to Wisconsin

             

Email this

By: Scott Trautman

Copyright © 2009  Trautman Family Farms

Evil is as strong a word as one can use. It is not a word I, or anyone else should use lightly. I have avoided it a long time in this situation — hoping against hope — that Steve Ingham, Cheryl Daniels, Tom Lietzke & Jackie Owens would find “better data” — reconsider their position — and what it means to Wisconsin — and find a way to work more sensibly.

They have not, they will not, and they have to go, period.

They understand what they do — and they, with purpose and malice misrepresent the Raw Milk situation — while it is in their professional responsibility to understand the situation and make sensible decisions — if it is for the benefit of the whole of Wisconsin, rather than whatever personal agenda they might have.

In this situation — and others like it — most especially as it relates to dairy farmers — it is about the application of unfettered — unobserved — power over good people in order to exterminate their will and desire to survive and grow. Why dairy farmers? Because they can. The bully bullies those they can — not those that can defend themselves.

Food Safety does not like me one tiny bit and has shown every indication that as I speak out and shine the light on them — they will find a way to silence me.

Biggest fine yet for Queensland NLIS breach

Minnesota dairyman troubled by strange SCC counts

 

By: Guy Ekola

Dairy Quality Control Inspection (DQCI) runs a milk test lab in Minnesota where I’m from and they tested my milk routinely as I was with National Farmers Organization, (NFO).

Does anybody know here, about SCC’s? I consider them a very over-hyped lab analysis of cow’s milk, something similar in consequence (modern industry-biased ’scientificism’, and WHO/Codex propaganda–though I notice many farmers have taken the pill, ie., they believe SCC’s are a credible and constant measure of milk quality and standard/goodness), to the over-hyped and dangerous vaccines.

I will say this: I have had a lot of trouble with SCC counts that were high! This is especially so in the last few years, as I was forced to slowly discontinue my dairy farm, under steady duress. Yet, I had more trouble with actual mastitis many years ago and relatively minimal mastitis occurrence recently. This situation, problems with high SCC’s yet little actual mastitis has been strange and troubling to me. It has caused me great stress.
