After a decade of relative quiet, the federal authorities has ramped again up its efforts to regulate the US meals provide, and get rid of any gamers and choices that gained’t totally embrace the company authorities collusion that has outlined the US meals and farming sector for six a long time.
Shopping for golf equipment are having product siezed and destroyed. Farmers markets are seeing an enormous improve in inspections and harassment of artisans and native producers.
Farmers in all places face a bunch of recent laws, guidelines, and packages meant to additional enrich the meat packers and different middlemen whereas taking extra money out of their pockets.
And lest you assume householders with egg-laying chickens gained’t be focused, assume once more.
The federal government is already demanding registration of even one yard hen within the UK, and the unique Nationwide Animal Identification System (NAIS) in america required the identical of city homesteaders. (1, 2)
This time…again for what could also be its fifth try…the USDA is as soon as once more attempting to roll out radio digital radio frequency ID tags for livestock with the sneaky rebranding from NAIS (a decade in the past) to RFID.
Why RFID?
Business entrance teams say we want RFID for higher transparency (these from of us who use processing amenities with no home windows and meat constituted of 500 cows!) and to have the ability to reply rapidly to illness outbreaks throughout the nation.
In actuality, the explanation they need RFID is that it’ll give them higher management over the farmers who’ve little alternative however to promote into the commercial meat commodity system.
Presently, 4 to 5 firms management 80% or extra of beef, pork, and hen in america.
They would favor that quantity to be at least 100%, and RFID is one other approach to drive farmers to play their sport by their guidelines and push out smaller operations.
First they observe the animals… then they observe the folks
RFID is an element of a bigger, long-term aim for governments and well-connected firms to trace all human conduct, to allow them to revenue from it.
Just like the push for a single digital forex, the push for RFID would then enable:
- The power to impose limits and quotas on animal raisings and compelled cullings like we’re seeing in
Europe and different international locations below the justification of local weather change (you could have too many cows,
sheep, and goats producing too many emissions, so it’s essential to increase much less animals!) - Extra stringent enforcement of vaccines and the flexibility to drive the adoption of mRNA and related
vaccines by farmers so as to have the ability to put their animals into the processing chain. - Capacity to simply cull animals in areas and areas below the pretense of illness outbreaks like hen
flu utilizing phony PCR testing outcomes. - Full and whole surveillance of your complete US meat provide.
As Catherine Austin Fitts, former Underneath Secretary of the US Division of Commerce has acknowledged, animal ID and digital forex ID are a precursor to the most important aim of all – common human RFID and monitoring.
Whereas this sounds outlandish, one of many earlier variations of the RFID program – NAIS (the nationwide animal ID system) – included a 1-800 quantity that farmers had been required to name inside 24 hours of any animal motion exterior the designated property boundaries.
A real “why did the hen cross the highway” query, besides the USDA didn’t care why… simply when and the place, and if you happen to didn’t comply, tons of to 1000’s of {dollars} of fines had been to comply with.
With the expansion of web and different applied sciences, the telephone quantity is not wanted, as the federal government (and firms who get entry to the info…) would know 24/7 the place all of the animals had been and what farmers and homesteaders had been as much as.
A lot of that is additionally tied to the push to get folks to undertake meatless meats, which to date have been, regardless of billions of {dollars} of investmenet, advertising and marketing, and authorities manipulation, an enormous flop.
As we’re seeing in Europe and components of the US, there’s a actual push…with large cash behind it…to create a wholly meatless, even animal-free, meals system.
Via bugs, via “plant based mostly meats,” no matter it takes, something however letting folks eat nutrient dense animal merchandise raised naturally on pasture!
What We Can Do to Cease RFID
In case you are a farmer or homesteader, be a part of the tens of 1000’s of us who’ve pledged to it doesn’t matter what, not comply, like Congressman Thomas Massie of KY, who raises grass-fed beef.
Second, take a second to contact your senators and consultant and ask them to cosponsor and assist Rep. Harriet Hageman’s invoice, Modification 10, to cease EID/RFID. (3)

Third, contemplate becoming a member of Congresswoman Hageman, Joel Salatin, John Moody, and others at Rogue Meals TX in November 2024 or Florida in March 2025, the place we can have a particular concentrate on stopping RFID, the hen flu nonsense getting used to harass uncooked milk farmers, and extra, and assist us ship a message to the USDA that we’re able to combat to guard our farmers and meals provide.
