Foodcare Reform

I’ve made the argument that it makes as much sense for the government to take over the food supply as it does Healthcare. Alas, we all knew that they’d eventually get to that too– and it looks like they are beginning to get to it with HR 2749, the ‘Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009′.

Our friends (and I use the word loosely) Waxman and Dingle have come up with legislation that typifies the sort of overreach and ominous tyranny indicative of all the legislation they are coming up with in congress now that they are the only party in power.

The one thing we know about the era of Obama is that every aspect of our lives will ultimately be under the tight control of the government whether we want it or not– and it’s all for our own good!

But don’t take my word for it. Natural News declares that this bill requires immediate opposition, a blogger at foodfreedom describes it as, “Totalitarian Control of the Food Supply,” a DailyKos diary calls it fascist (truly it doesn’t take much to be called fascist at DailyKos but I thought I’d throw it in there), and Stop socialism now says, “Fed Takeover Of All Food Production Almost Done!”

Some of the disconcerting and dire provisions within the bill include:

- HR 2749 will require the mandatory imposition of annual registration fees in the amount of $500 upon any “facility” that holds, processes, or manufactures food. Even though “farms” are exempt, the bill’s definition of “farm” is so scarcely defined that folks selling cheeses, breads, and other products from their farms or at the farmers market would be required to pay this fee, potentially driving many small producers and start-ups out of business, especially during tough times.

- HR 2749 will give FDA the power to directly regulate the methods by which crops are raised and harvested, essentially handing complete and total control of every farming operation to the federal government.

- HR 2749 will give FDA the power to halt the movement of all food in a particular geographic area in the event of a food contamination scare or outbreak. The provision directly includes “prohibiting or restricting the movement of food or of any vehicle being used or that has been used to transport or hold such food within the geographic area”, effectively shutting down any and all local food sources, farmers markets, or cooperatives within that area, even if their products have no connection to the actual contamination source.

- HR 2749 will give limitless power to FDA to conduct random searches of the business records of small farmers and local food providers without a warrant or even the slightest hint of evidence that there has been any sort of violation. It essentially allows clear passage by the federal government into the private records of its choice with no requirement of probable cause or legitimate reason for doing so.

- HR 2749 will appoint the Secretary of Health and Human Services as the taskmaster in establishing a food tracing system that will require an extensive, convoluted system of tracking each item and ingredient from origin to distribution. Because the bill fails to outline the logistical procedures for how this complex task will be accomplished and how it will be paid for, it once again hands an unprecedented amount of power over to the federal government to control and tax as it sees fit in order to accomplish whatever arbitrary requirements it wishes to inflict upon our farmers and food producers.

- HR 2749 imposes grievous criminal and civil penalties, including fines of up to $100,000 for each violation, per individual, and up to 10 years in prison.  ~naturalnews.com

Who’s worried about the patriot act now? We are rapidly approaching the point where literally nothing will be exempt from the power of the government to directly control, dictate, punish, and intervene without warrant or respect to constitutional rights. It will be an administrative matter.

Dissent is now terrorism

Behold the shifting sands of democrat definition. Dissent from current (The) One Party Rule is now unpatriotic traitorous terrorism. I thought dissent was the essence of patriotism? What happened?

“It appears that the Republican Party leadership in the Congress has made a decision that they want to deny President Obama success, which means, in my mind, they are rooting against the country, as well,” the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman told WAMU radio host Diane Rehm on Tuesday morning, promoting his new book, “The Waxman Report.” ~politico.com

It gets better:

“They [Republicans] want to play politics and see if they can keep any achievements from being accomplished that may be beneficial to the Democrats. They’re rooting against the country and I think in this case, even rooting against the world because the world needs to get its act together to stop global warming.” ~realclearpolitics.com

Waxman isn’t the only one either. There is a sense that Democrats have forgot that they once felt that lying about and smearing your opposition was the embodiment of patriotism itself.

Far left writer Paul Krugman says opposing liberal policies is betrayal of the planet.

…but most rejected the bill because they rejected the whole notion that we have to do something about greenhouse gases.

And as I watched the deniers make their arguments, I couldn’t help thinking that I was watching a form of treason — treason against the planet. ~nytimes.com

Video of Pelosi saying Republicans are unpatriotic.

More video of Pelosi saying that Enforcing American immigration law is un-American and illegal immigrants are, “very, very patriotic.”

Destroying America

Literally. The Obama administration wants to bulldoze entire swaths of American cities in order to re-engineer them. The next logical step is forced re-locations.

Dozens of US cities may have entire neighbourhoods bulldozed as part of drastic “shrink to survive” proposals being considered by the Obama administration to tackle economic decline. ~telegraph.co.uk

Even I would not have dared suggest that Obama would already be moving forward with the physical destruction of America so soon.

Having outlined his strategy to Barack Obama during the election campaign, Mr Kildee has now been approached by the US government and a group of charities who want him to apply what he has learnt to the rest of the country.

Mr Kildee said he will concentrate on 50 cities, identified in a recent study by the Brookings Institution, an influential [liberal] Washington think-tank, as potentially needing to shrink substantially to cope with their declining fortunes. ~telegraph.co.uk

I think that this is just a taste of the future in a progressive America. A shrinking America. Bulldozed and socially engineered according to what the best and brightest minds have deemed proper. Cram everyone into urban centers where they are more easily controlled and regulated. When leftists complain and bemoan about ‘Urban sprawl’ what they really mean is that people have too much freedom of movement and choice. They fail to make the right choices, i.e. the ones the left wants, and when people make the wrong choices (according to them) then government has to step in and correct yet another ‘market failure’.

Limiting growth is not just a side effect of an economic downturn it is in fact the goal for the left. Much of the popular liberal ideology focuses on downsizing America as a public good. Limited growth is the ultimate end goal of the left.

He said: “The obsession with growth is sadly a very American thing. Across the US, there’s an assumption that all development is good, that if communities are growing they are successful. If they’re shrinking, they’re failing.” ~telegraph.co.uk

The left has plans for where and how you should live, what you will eat and how much you will have to exercise. Once the government is paying for your health care your exercise and eating habits will no longer be a matter of personal choice, it will be a matter of national economics. Once the government begins paying for your life it will own you and then the government will be deciding your life for you.

Letter to Obama

Lou Pritchet’s letter to Obama:

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t understand it at its core..

You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America’ crowdand deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O’Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Socialism is slavery

What’s key to understanding Obama’s presidiency? He ran as a centrist, promising  to unite America with promises like cutting taxes for 95% of Americans. (What do you call a ‘tax cut’ when you don’t pay any taxes?) Once elected The-One Party government has proposed zero tax cuts and quite a few tax increases and proceeded to balloon the deficit beyond any previous government.

As he reveals what his actual policies are we find more and more government intervention and takeover. Total transformation of the United States of America is his stated goal and he intends to deliver.

Let’s look at the deficit. We were told that we must elect Democrats because Bush was such a profligate spender. Democrats ran on a platform of fiscal conservatism. All lies.

You can see the Bush/Congress budgets from 2000 to 2008. Notice the tall red lines to the right starting at 2008 there. These are not Bush budgets, they are the Obama/Democrat congress budgets. The difference is exponential.

obama-debt

What is happening since the election of Obama and a completely Democrat controlled congress is a government completely out of control. Bankruptcy cannot be far behind. These budgets are unsustainable.

Add to this the nationalization of the auto industry, the healthcare industry, and the financial industry and what you have is the beginning of total government control of every aspect of our lives. There will be no freedom of speech to criticize your employer when it is the government providing your job. There will be no free speech at all after the government ‘bailout’ of the press. The government will own the presses.

This is the left’s top down approach to democracy and it is Obama’s method of madness. The best and the brightest make decisions and plan the economy for the benefit of all the people. In essence, the government controls the people. Since we are the government, they say, it’s all ok. But this is how socialism works, (or rather doesn’t work). This is a giant left turn off the cliff and into total government control. Total as in totalitarian. Eventually nothing is exempt from that control.

Once the government is paying for your healthcare, guess what, they will be deciding what foods you will be allowed to eat,  and how much you exercise.

The left has no plans or principles that will prevent every minute detail of your life coming under the control of some government agency, basically allowing some beauracrat to step in and hassle you to death. As government takes over more areas there will be more reason to take over more. You will be fined, harrassed, monitored and eventually incarcerated if you do not do whatever some government busy body wants you to do. –And it will all be for your own good of course.

This is nothing less than slavery. But it is the change that Obama promised. This is the way he will ‘set us free’.

Right-wing extremists?

Aimed at the heart of half of the electorate:

The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific information that domestic rightwing* terrorists are currently planning acts of violence,
but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment.

  • Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carryout violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn—including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit—could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past.
  • Rightwing extremists have capitalized on the election of the first African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal through propaganda, but they have not yet turned to attack planning.
  • The current economic and political climate has some similarities to the 1990s when rightwing extremism experienced a resurgence fueled largely by an economic recession, criticism about the outsourcing of jobs, and the perceived threat to U.S. power and sovereignty by other foreign powers.
  • During the 1990s, these issues contributed to the growth in the number of domestic rightwing terrorist and extremist groups and an increase in violent acts targeting government facilities, law enforcement officers, banks, and infrastructure sectors.
  • Growth of these groups subsided in reaction to increased government scrutiny as a result of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and disrupted plots, improvements in the economy, and the continued U.S. standing as the preeminent world power.

The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.  ~thelibertypapers.org

Channeling Dems

Kim Jong Il channels Democrats like nobody’s business. But I’m not sure if which direction the spiritual flow is going. When the left talks about Bush’s torture regime and Guantanamo it sounds an awful lot like this:

KCNA Demands Closure of U.S. Secret Prisons

Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) — The special rapporteur for torture issue of the UN Human Rights Council and the UN special envoy for human rights and anti-terrorism, addressing the recent 10th meeting of the council, declared that an international investigation would be conducted into the secret prisons operated by the United States.

They denounced the atrocities committed by the U.S. as the “most horrible acts,” asserting that they would not allow the U.S. to evade its responsibility for them with ease on account of the replacement of the U.S. administration and that the investigation should be continued till everything has been clarified.

This is a proper step taken by the international community against the U.S. which has committed ceaseless human rights abuses in different parts of the world under the signboard of “war on terrorism.”

The U.S. set up a secret prison in Guantanamo of Cuba in the wake of the “September 11 incident” and established such prisons in different countries of the world and even on warships.

It arrested many people and has kept them in custody for a long period, ruthlessly violating their freedom and human rights.

26,000 people are now detained, without having even a chance to stand a fair trial, the most elementary human rights.

They are put to beating, sleep depravation, water boarding, sexual torture and other forms of mediaeval torture. Guiltless people are disappearing without being known to the outside, while undergoing unbearable pain.

These are the hideous human rights abuses quite contrary to the humanitarian principles of modern international law including the “Geneva Convention” and international law on human rights.

Precisely for this reason the International Committee of the Red Cross in a report in 2007 defined the U.S. atrocities as “cruel and inhuman contempt of personality” and “torture.”

What merits a serious attention is that the U.S. is trying to keep the secret prisons censured by the world.

This is evidenced by the fact that the U.S. attorney general, while announcing the “new standard for the operation of the facilities for ‘suspected terrorists’” in Guantanamo on March 13, blustered that it is inevitable to operate these facilities in a way to tighten national security.

These outbursts cannot but sound very surprising as they are let loose without let-up under the pretext of “examining” the closure of the secret prison in Guantanamo.

During the office of the Bush administration the U.S. left no means untried to cover up the operation of secret prisons with such crafty words as “national security”.

The new U.S. administration is echoing such words only to reveal its intention not to close them.

The U.S. had better close as early as possible the secret prisons ill-famed for lots of human rights abuses. ~kcna.co.jp

Commie propaganda?

Commie propaganda or Obama administration and supporter rhetoric? Capitalism and the ‘unlimited free market principle’ is responsible for this new great depression.

The financial crisis hit the United States because its business is governed by the “unlimited free market principle” and the U.S. administration squandered money for overseas aggression and war moves, the article notes, and goes on:

In the capitalist market economy antagonism and contradictions and unbalanced development among countries bring about instability in equilibrium between foreign incomings and outgoings and foreign exchange rate and these create conditions for sparking off a financial crisis.

The economy in the capitalist countries is structurally dependent on the U.S. Many capitalist countries are in such economic relationship that they are entangled with one another with the U.S. consumer market as the axis. Precisely for this reason the financial crisis in the U.S. put major capitalist countries in the grip of economic crisis.

Capitalism is an unpopular society which diametrically runs counter to the intrinsic wishes of the popular masses in all aspects of material, spiritual and cultural and political lives, and it is an old corrupt and weak society bound to go to ruin due to the struggle of the popular masses for independence.

By its intrinsic class nature the capitalist system cannot overcome the imbalance between deformed material life and impoverished spiritual and cultural life and that between the growing demand of the popular masses for independence and the worsening political life. Herein lie the uncontrollable contradictions in the capitalist society and consequently capitalism is bound to go to ruin inevitably.

The capitalist countries are also going to decay and ruin, depending on the exploitation and plunder of developing countries.

The developing countries are standing in confrontation with the capitalist countries by strengthening the south-south cooperation as evidenced by their energetic endeavors to put an end to the outdated international economic order and, instead, build a new and fair one.

The advance of the popular masses’ cause of independence, the cause of socialism is precipitating the doomsday of capitalism.

Socialist Korea demonstrating its might by winning victories by dint of Songun serves as the beacon of hope and the banner of victory for the world people desirous of independence.

The 21st century will prove to be a century marked with historic changes in which capitalism is bound to meet its end and socialism is sure to triumph thanks to the struggle of the popular masses for independence. ~kcna.co.jp
