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 packages meant to additional enrich the meat packers and different middlemen whereas taking more cash out of their pockets.
And lest you suppose owners with egg-laying chickens gained’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 USA 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?
Business entrance teams say we’d like RFID for higher transparency (these from people who use processing services with no home windows and meat constituted of 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 larger management over the farmers who’ve little selection however to promote into the economic meat commodity system.
At the moment, 4 to 5 firms management 80% or extra of beef, pork, and hen in the USA.
They would like that quantity to be at least 100%, and RFID is one other method to pressure farmers to play their recreation by their guidelines and push out smaller operations.
First they monitor the animals… then they monitor the individuals
RFID is a component of a bigger, long-term objective 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 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 international locations below the justification of local weather change (you will have 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 pressure the adoption of mRNA and related
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 chicken
flu utilizing phony PCR testing outcomes. - Full and whole surveillance of your complete US meat provide.
As Catherine Austin Fitts, former Below Secretary of the US Division of Commerce has said, animal ID and digital foreign money ID are a precursor to the most important objective 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 hen cross the street” query, besides the USDA didn’t care why… simply when and the place, and should you didn’t comply, lots of to 1000’s of {dollars} of fines have been to comply with.
With the expansion of web and different applied sciences, the telephone quantity is not wanted, as the federal government (and companies who get entry to the information…) 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 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 components of the US, there’s a actual push…with huge cash behind it…to create a completely meatless, even animal-free, meals system.
By means of bugs, by means of “plant based mostly meats,” no matter it takes, something however letting individuals eat nutrient dense animal merchandise raised naturally on pasture!
What We Can Do to Cease RFID
If you’re 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 assist Rep. Harriet Hageman’s invoice, Modification 10, to cease EID/RFID. (3)

Additionally, ask your consultant to assist Rep. Hageman’s H.J.Res.167 decision which disapproves the rule submitted by the Division of Agriculture referring to “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 may have a particular deal with stopping RFID, the chicken 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 struggle to guard our farmers and meals provide.
