After a decade of relative quiet, the federal authorities has ramped again up its efforts to manage the US meals provide, and remove any gamers and choices that received’t absolutely 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 a large enhance in inspections and harassment of artisans and native producers.
Farmers in every single place face a number of recent laws, guidelines, and applications meant to additional enrich the meat packers and different middlemen whereas taking extra money out of their pockets.
And lest you suppose householders with egg-laying chickens received’t be focused, suppose 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 the US 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?
Trade entrance teams say we’d like RFID for higher transparency (these from of us who use processing amenities with no home windows and meat created from 500 cows!) and to have the ability to reply shortly to illness outbreaks throughout the nation.
In actuality, the rationale they need RFID is that it’ll give them higher management over the farmers who’ve little selection however to promote into the commercial meat commodity system.
At the moment, 4 to 5 firms management 80% or extra of beef, pork, and hen in the US.
They would like that quantity to be at least 100%, and RFID is one other option to power farmers to play their recreation by their guidelines and push out smaller operations.
First they observe the animals… then they observe the individuals
RFID is a component of a bigger, long-term purpose 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 foreign money, the push for RFID would then permit:
- The power to impose limits and quotas on animal raisings and compelled cullings like we’re seeing in
Europe and different nations underneath the justification of local weather change (you could have too many cows,
sheep, and goats producing too many emissions, so you have to elevate much less animals!) - Extra stringent enforcement of vaccines and the flexibility to power the adoption of mRNA and comparable
vaccines by farmers so as to have the ability to put their animals into the processing chain. - Capability to simply cull animals in areas and areas underneath the pretense of illness outbreaks like chook
flu utilizing phony PCR testing outcomes. - Full and complete surveillance of the complete US meat provide.
As Catherine Austin Fitts, former Underneath Secretary of the US Division of Commerce has acknowledged, animal ID and digital foreign money ID are a precursor to the largest purpose 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 outdoors the designated property boundaries.
A real “why did the hen cross the street” query, besides the USDA didn’t care why… simply when and the place, and when you did not comply, tons of to 1000’s of {dollars} of fines had been to observe.
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 individuals to undertake meatless meats, which to this point have been, regardless of billions of {dollars} of investmenet, advertising and marketing, and authorities manipulation, a large flop.
As we’re seeing in Europe and elements of the US, there’s a actual push…with huge cash behind it…to create a wholly meatless, even animal-free, meals system.
By means of bugs, by “plant based mostly meats,” no matter it takes, something however letting individuals devour 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 help Rep. Harriet Hageman’s invoice, Modification 10, to cease EID/RFID. (3)

Additionally, ask your consultant to help Rep. Hageman’s H.J.Res.167 decision which disapproves the rule submitted by the Division of Agriculture regarding “Use of Digital Identification Eartags as Official Identification in Cattle and Bison”. (4)
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 deal with stopping RFID, the chook 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 battle to guard our farmers and meals provide.
