Talaniman: Now, we agree on this completely: Small Farms have been a target of a "cabal" (lack of a better word, and I don't know who all is in it) that has sought to put them out of business so that larger, no, massive Corporate Farms could take over the production......kind of the same thing that happens when your "Friendly Walmart" comes to town: soon all the smaller stores dry up and blow away.
Like I said, I don't know who all is involved with this plot (don't call me a conspiracy theorist because at this point I think you know its not a theory, its real) but they do have the backing of the Federal Government: and political parties are irrelevant in this because Repubs, Demos, even Libertarian politicians are all on board and complicit in this.
Daddy smelled something bad when the Government started with the aerial surveys of crops and sending Agriculture Agents out to your place to "confirm" your planting.
Food is a God provided resource and, truthfully, it is a very, very STRATEGIC resource that can be used for GOOD or BAD: The fact that food has been weaponized is a sin.....but, I am afraid we have only begun to see how it can be used as a tool of geopolitical leverage...….using food as a means to dominate others is simply wrong......hell, its wrong Biblically.
