It's an insane idea that should be shot down. I heard these were coming up soon, so call your reps AND the sponsors of the bill (listed on front page). The House Bill is so broad it could include your garden...it also says "every vineyard and orchard" would be considered a "food production" facility. WTF? Nothing is defined well except, of course, penalties. 1 million per infraction, and each day the infraction continues is considered a new infraction. CRIMINAL. T For Texas, T For Tennessee! The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis |

A pandemic will just escalate it's implementation. Truly perilous days ahead. It's good to be in God's Hands... (Don't say we didn't see this one coming) Kletos, Eklektos & Pistos |
| mercury2 User ID: 516559 03/08/2009 12:30 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Straight out of The New Order of the Barbarians transcripts. If you haven't read the transcripts they are ultra creepy and a must read: [link to 100777.com] Here's the section on FOOD CONTROL: Food supplies would come under tight control. If population growth didn't slow down, food shortages could be created in a hurry and people would realize the dangers of overpopulation. Ultimately, whether the population slows down or not the food supply is to be brought under centralized control so that people would have enough to be well-nourished but they would not have enough to support any fugitive from the new system. In other words, if you had a friend or relative who didn't sign on, and growing ones own food would be outlawed. This would be done under some sort of pretext. In the beginning I mentioned there were two purposes for everything - one the ostensible purpose and one the real purpose, and the ostensible purpose here would be that growing your own vegetables was unsafe, it would spread disease or something like that. So the acceptable idea was to protect the consumer but the real idea was to limit the food supply and growing your own food would be illegal. And if you persist in illegal activities like growing your own food, then you're a criminal. My italics. "Presidents come and go every four years. Revolutions live on for centuries.
