~SPECIAL ALERT TO EVERYONE THAT EATS ~
Swat Team Conducts "Food Raid" in Rural Ohio



The USDA just released their plans to put a law into action that will put all small farmers out of business. Animals for the sale of meat or milk will only be allowed in commercial farms. December 3, 2008

If you read nothing else today please make it this article http://www.rwefree.com/swat.htm

We have been ranting and raving for years about the abuses of the USDA and the Federal Government against small farmers and people who would actually like to eat real healthy foods without all of the additives and commercially inflicted hormones and growth additives. Every piece of processed food you put into your family's body is allowed to be altered by the Government to make it more profitable for the large corporations. Most of these additives are horribly wrong for the human consumer . They induce more production in the animals, more fat, more steroids, more antibiotics and less actual nutrition. We are being slowly murdered and if not dying our brains are being affected by these additives. Our children are suffering from diseases that were unknown 30 years ago.

Their intelligence is being reduced ! Allergies , ADD, ADHD, and on and on. We are allowing the government to make Zombies out of us.

With the lack of healthy foods and the TV constantly keeping us entertained so we don't think about the very important things we should be thinking about we are slowly slinking into oblivion. A vast pit we will not be able to dig out of .

Just take a pill you will be ok?

Keep the Drug industry healthy !

Watch TV for only a few minutes and you will see dozens of ads for all kinds of cures ( not cures but only medications which will alleviate the symptoms of illnesses) mostly with side effects which are worse than the actual illness or disability.

Did you ever wonder why there are so many ads for Viagra? Could it be that the males in our world now are being sterilized and impotent on purpose? If a persons body has to have help to have Normal Sex then something is definitely wrong. From all of the ads you would think that Sex is the main reason to live? When did it become the most important factor in a relationship?

I can guarantee you that the small farmer, organic farmer and gardener that raises their own food does not have this problem. You won't see any Viagra on their night stand. Their only problem would be they are bone tired from actually working all day. They also don't need sleep aids to fall asleep at night.

Keep on feeding your babies formula, it is good for them and soooooooo easy. It also is made of mostly SOY which was prescribed for me during menapause to help my body make more estrogen? Now if it does that for my body why wouldn't it do the same in children? Males with low testerone means a society that is docile and easily controlled. Ever notice that it is the women who are actually getting out and fighting more so than the men now? ( I am not talking about the farmers who are not consuming vast amounts of Soy every day. Those men seem to have no problems being a male.) I am not putting all the blame on Soy but it could be a part of the problem. What ever happened to Mothers' milk? Goats milk? even the old baby formula your Grandmother made on the stove out of evaporated milk, water and a little plain Karo syrup?

How many effeminate Farmers have you seen ?

Google NAIS and join some of the many groups that are fighting for your food safety and their survival against the huge corporate organizations which are taking over the control of all of the food industry. It could mean your very life and certainly has the future of your family's health at stake.

Most of the diseases that afflict us today can be cured by simply eating the right foods, stopping the imput of chemicals into our bodies, and you will find that the food grown in your back yard or on a small farm tastes alltogether different from the canned variety out of the grocery stores. You may just develop a taste for real food. Food that will nourish your body not tear it down.

Find someone with a well and drink their water, people on wells will share it doesn't cost them a monthly bill to have chemicals put into their water to make it safe to drink? No Flouride, No clorox, but real minerals we all need every day in a form we can digest.

Join the small farmers and ranchers, refuse to eat the products from the huge feed lots and commercially poisoned farms.

And as always start storing up supplies for your family. The time will come and soon I am afraid that Food will be the weapon we will be totally controlled with.

He who controls the food supply has the power !

WTF??

That article is confusing. Why did they conduct the raid?? Is this law already? I thought it just said the USDA "just released plans" for this new law??

Seems real to me. They need to go to the media. Public outrage is the only way to stop this nonsense.

SWAT TEAM CONDUCTS FOOD RAID IN RURAL OHIO

On Monday, December 1, a SWAT team with semi-automatic rifles entered
the private home of the Stowers family in LaGrange, Ohio, herded the
family onto the couches in the living room, and kept guns trained on
parents, children, infants and toddlers, from approximately 11 AM to 8
PM. The team was aggressive and belligerent. The children were quite
traumatized. At some point, the “bad cop” SWAT team was relieved by
another team, a “good cop” team that tried to befriend the family. The
Stowers family has run a very large, well-known food cooperative called
Manna Storehouse <http://www.mannastorehouse.com> on the western side of
the greater Cleveland area for many years.


There were agents from the Department of Agriculture present, one of
them identified as Bill Lesho. The search warrant is reportedly
supicious-looking <http://steveandpaularunyan.blogspot.com/>. Agents
began rifling through all of the family’s possessions, a task that
lasted hours and resulted in a complete upheaval of every private area
in the home. Many items were taken that were not listed on the search
warrant. The family was not permitted a phone call, and they were not
told what crime they were being charged with. They were not read their
rights. Over ten thousand dollars worth of food was taken, including the
family’s personal stock of food for the coming year. All of their
computers, and all of their cell phones were taken, as well as phone and
contact records. The food cooperative was virtually shut down. There was
no rational explanation, nor justification, for this extreme violation
of Constitutional rights.

Presumably Manna Storehouse might eventually be charged with running a
retail establishment without a license. Why then the Gestapo-type
interrogation for a 3^rd degree misdemeanor charge? This incident has
raised the ominous specter of a restrictive new era in State regulation
and enforcement over the nation’s private food supply.


This same type of abusive search and seizure was reported by those
innocents who fell victim to oppressive federal drug laws passed in the
1990s. The present circumstance raises the obvious question: is there
some rabid new interpretation of an existing drug law that considers
food a controlled substance worthy of a nasty SWAT operation? Or worse,
is there a previously unrecognized provision(s) pertaining to food in
the Homeland Security measures? Some have suggested that it was merely
an out-of-control, hot-to-trot ODA agent, and, if so, this would be a
best-case scenario. Anything else might spell the beginning of the end
for the freedom to eat unregulated and unmonitored food
<http://www.westonaprice.org/>.

One blogger
http://thebovine.wordpress.com/2008/...rehouse-co-op/
familiar with the Ohio situation has reported that:

“Interestingly, I believe they [Manna Storehouse] said a month or so
ago, an undercover ODA official came to their little store and claimed
to have a sick father wanting to join the co-op. Both the owner and her
daughter-in-law had a horrible feeling about the man, and decided not to
allow him into the co-op and notified him by certified mail. He came
back to the co-op demanding to be part of it. They refused and gave him
names of other businesses and health food stores closer to his home. Not
coincidentally, this man was there yesterday as part of the raid.”

The same blog
http://thebovine.wordpress.com/2008/...rehouse-co-op/

also noted that the Ohio Department of Agriculture has been chastised by
the courts in several previous instances for its aggression, including
trying to entrap an Amish man in a raw milk “sale,”
http://familycow.proboards32.com/ind...y&thread=12013
which backfired when it became known that the Amish believe in a literal
interpretation of “give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would
borrow of thee turn not thou away” (Matthew 5:42)

The issue appears to be the discovery of a bit of non-institutional beef
in an Oberlin College food service freezer a year ago that was tracked
down by a county sanitation official to Manna Storehouse. Oberlin
College’s student food coop is widely known for its strident ideological
stance about eating organic foods. It seems that the Oberlin student
food cooperative had joined the Manna Storehouse food cooperative in
order to buy organic foods in bulk from the national organic food
distributor United <http://www.unitedbuyingclubs.com/>, which services
buying clubs across the nation. The sanitation official, James Boddy,
evidently contacted the Ohio Department of Agriculture. After the first
contact by state ODA officials, Manna Storehouse reportedly wrote them a
letter requesting assistance and guidelines for complying with the law.
This letter was never answered. Rather, the ODA agent tried several
times to infiltrate the coop, as described above. When his attempts
failed, the SWAT team showed up!

Food cooperatives and buying clubs have been an active part of the
American landscape for over a generation. In the 1970s, with the rise of
the organic food industry (a direct outgrowth of the hippie
back-to-nature movement) food coops started up all over the country.
These were groups of people who freely associated for the purpose of
combining their buying power so that they could order organic food items
in bulk and case lots. Anyone who was part of these coops in the early
era will remember the messy breakdown of 35 pounds of peanut butter and
5 gallon drums of honey!

These buying clubs have persisted and flourished over the years due to
their ability to purchase high quality organic foods at reduced prices
in bulk quantities. Most cooperatives have participated greatly in the
local agrarian economies, supporting neighborhood organic farmers with
purchases of produce, eggs, chickens, etc. The groups also purchase food
from a number of different local, regional and national distributors,
many of them family-based businesses who truck the food themselves. Some
of these food cooperatives have become large enough to set up
mini-storefront operations where members can drop in and purchase items
leftover from case lot sales. Manna Storehouse had established itself in
such a manner, using a small enclosed breezeway attached to their home.
It was a folksy place with old wooden floors where coop members stopped
by to chat and snack on bags of organic corn chips.

The state of Ohio boasts the second largest Amish population in the
country. Many of the Amish live on acreages where they raise their own
food, not unlike Manna Storehouse, and sell off the extras to neighbors
and church members. There is a sense of foreboding that this state
crackdown on a longstanding, reputable food cooperative operation could
adversely impact the peaceful agrarian way of life not only for the
Amish, but homeschoolers and those families living off the land on rural
acreages. It raises the disturbing possibility that it could become a
crime to raise your own food, buy eggs from the farmer down the road, or
butcher your own chickens for family and friends – bustling activities
that routinely take place in backwater America.


The freedom to purchase food directly form the source is increasingly
under attack. For those who have food allergies and chemical
intolerances, or who are on special medical diets, this is becoming a
serious health issue. Will Americans retain the right to purchase food
that is uncontaminated by pesticides, herbicides, allergens, additives,
dyes, preservatives, MSG, GMOs, radiation, etc.? The melamine scare from
China underscores the increasingly inferior and suspect quality of
modern processed institutional foods. One blog, commenting on the
bizarre and troubling Manna Storehouse situation, observed that:


“No one is saying exactly why. At the same time the FDA says it it safe
to eat the 40% of tainted beef found in Costco's and Sam's all over the
nation. These farm raids are very common now. Every farmer needs to
fully eqiped [sic] for the possibility of it happening to them. The
Farmer To Consumer Legal Defense Fund <http://www.ftcldf.org/> was
created just for this purpose. The USDA just released their plans to put
a law into action that will put all small farmers out of business.
Animals for the sale of meat or milk will only be allowed in commercial
farms, even the organic ones.” December 3, 2008 7:09 PM

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Got to view, or read about Codex Alementarius.

Oh I'm not into guns and I don't own land. I don't drive an SUV or smoke. I don't do drugs or smoke pot. I don't do anything wrong. If you are not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to hide.


Perhaps...

but this case proves that those who cared only about their organic food and were blind to the other parts of the long train of abuses are discovering that an out of control government eventually gets to someone or some thing you care about. Just give it time.
