After a decade of relative quiet, the federal authorities has ramped again up its efforts to manage the US meals provide, and get rid of any gamers and choices that gained’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 an enormous enhance in inspections and harassment of artisans and native producers.
Farmers all over the place face a number of recent rules, guidelines, and applications meant to additional enrich the meat packers and different middlemen whereas taking more cash out of their pockets.
And lest you suppose householders with egg-laying chickens gained’t be focused, suppose once more.
The federal government is already demanding registration of even one yard rooster 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 making an attempt 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 people who use processing services with no home windows and meat comprised of 500 cows!) and to have the ability to reply shortly to illness outbreaks throughout the nation.
In actuality, the explanation they need RFID is that it’s going to give them higher management over the farmers who’ve little selection however to promote into the economic meat commodity system.
Presently, 4 to 5 corporations management 80% or extra of beef, pork, and rooster in america.
They would like that quantity to be a minimum of 100%, and RFID is one other option to drive farmers to play their sport by their guidelines and push out smaller operations.
First they monitor the animals… then they monitor the folks
RFID is an element of a bigger, long-term aim for governments and well-connected companies 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 nations below the justification of local weather change (you’ve too many cows,
sheep, and goats producing too many emissions, so you will need to increase much less animals!) - Extra stringent enforcement of vaccines and the flexibility to drive the adoption of mRNA and comparable
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 fowl
flu utilizing phony PCR testing outcomes. - Full and whole surveillance of your entire US meat provide.
As Catherine Austin Fitts, former Beneath Secretary of the US Division of Commerce has acknowledged, animal ID and digital forex ID are a precursor to the largest 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 have been required to name inside 24 hours of any animal motion outdoors the designated property boundaries.
A real “why did the rooster cross the highway” query, besides the USDA didn’t care why… simply when and the place, and for those who didn’t comply, a whole lot to hundreds of {dollars} of fines have been to comply with.
With the expansion of web and different applied sciences, the telephone quantity is now not wanted, as the federal government (and companies who get entry to the info…) would know 24/7 the place all of the animals have been and what farmers and homesteaders have 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, a large flop.
As we’re seeing in Europe and components of the US, there’s a actual push…with massive cash behind it…to create a wholly meatless, even animal-free, meals system.
By way of bugs, by means of “plant primarily based 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
If you’re a farmer or homesteader, be part of the tens of hundreds 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 could have a particular concentrate on stopping RFID, the fowl 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.
