Big Abuses and Bad Lies at America’s Factory Farms – The Shocking Truth

This article from MERCOLA should be read to anyone who believes CAFO industrialized farms are anything remotely similar to, humane.

“As a result, most are overcrowded (some are kept indoors their entire lives), suffer from hunger, thirst and illness, are subjected to painful procedures like tail docking, and sometimes are kept conscious or even skinned alive during the process of slaughtering.”
More animals than ever suffer from injuries and stress on factory farms. Veal
calves and gestating sows are so confined as to suffer painful bone and joint problems.
The unnatural high-grain diets provided in feedlots cause severe gastric distress in many animals. And faulty or improperly used stun guns cause the painful deaths of thousands of cows and pigs a year.
A New York Times Op-ed column suggests one way to “solve” this problem — genetically engineer livestock so that they suffer less.
Neuroscientists have found that by damaging a laboratory rat’s anterior cingulate cortex, they can block its affective perception of pain. Recently, scientists have learned to genetically engineer animals so that they lack certain proteins that are important to the operation of the anterior cingulate cortex.

So the animals will still be mutilated, diseased, and stewing in their own waste products, but at least they’ll be so brain-damaged that they won’t care.And some would actually want us to believe that this is progress?
It is a sad testimony to the society we live in today that we’ve allowed corporations to turn family-farming methods into cost-saving, mass-production strategies, which can endanger public health and treat animals so cruelly.
Many, if not most, factory farms treat animals like production units, not living creatures. As a result, most are overcrowded (some are kept indoors their entire lives), suffer from hunger, thirst and illness, are subjected to painful procedures like tail docking, and sometimes are kept conscious or even skinned alive during the process of slaughtering.

Why are the intense crime and killing fields of Mexico, whose northern border meets the United States southern border – NOT BEING DISCUSSED? Why is the real threat of this violence that has already started to rear its ugly head in the United States via an unsecured border not being addressed as a security risk?
Why do we have an Administration and a few Politicians promoting an Guestworker/Pathway = Amnesty plan, instead of taking charge of the situation and enforcing our laws, securing the border and providing safety to the American people? More

In 1790, the first census was taken in the United States, just three years after the ratification of the Federalist’s Constitution, which mandated the census. Prior to this, under our original constitution, the Articles of Confederation, no such requirement existed.
The 1790 census asked only for the number of people in one’s household, their ages (which was reported as an age range, not a specific age), their sex and little else. The purpose of the census, at that time, was to enumerate the population in order to estimate the number of representatives each state should be allowed in Congress. Period.
Since then, the census has become increasingly demanding of personal information, though the transition has been so gradual as not to cause much alarm among the people. Also, it has been, until now, completely voluntary.
That voluntary aspect of the census stops with 2010. Not only will you be asked many more questions about yourself, your family and your home, but you will be required to answer every question. If you don’t, a census taker will come to your door to get the missing information. If they are not successful in obtaining it, they will ask your adjacent neighbors for the information (good luck with that, these days, since most people don’t know their neighbors’ names, let alone anything else about them).
If the census taker still can’t get the questions answered, More

Citizens’ Council on Health Care

Yesterday, according to The Washington Post, the Virginia General Assembly passed a bill to make it illegal for the government to require individuals to purchase health insurance. This is a direct assault against ObamaCare. President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi concede that the individual mandate—forcing all citizens to buy health insurance, and then only insurance approved by the government—is THE key to achieving their goals for ObamaCare. If everyone is not required to purchase health insurance, then the federal government will not have the money to pay for all the subsidies, special deals, and special interest handouts in the bill.
The Virginia Senate passed the bill last month and Governor Robert McDonnell said Wednesday that he intends to sign it. Every state of the Union should follow in this effort to assert, claim, and retain the Constitutional rights of citizens.

There are amazing machinations underway to try to escape traditional (and constitutional) voting protocols in the U.S. House of Representatives. Democrats are said to be following the “Slaughter Strategy” devised by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY).
Here’s the plan: Essentially, the House wants to “DEEM” that they have passed the Senate bill when they pass the reconciliation budget bill to amend (fix) the Senate bill. Then they want the President to sign the Senate health care bill that they never voted on. Then they want the Senate to agree to pass the reconciliation bill that the House voted on to fix the Senate bill that the House never voted on. With me still? This is unprecedented corruption and unconstitutionality.

Please COMMENT NOW on federal plan.
SIMPLE – Just write a few lines expressing your feeling about government forcing your doctor through monetary incentives and financial penalties to put your medical records online and into the hands of government health surveillance officials would be great. If you say nothing, they can say you did not object.
DOUBLESPEAK – Officially, this is called the “Electronic Health Record Incentive Program.” In truth, it’s centralized government control of your doctors through the proposed National Health Information Network (NHIN).

The Horse Latitudes

They came in the bellies of wooden ships back to their place of origin. They came with little water, good food, or ventilation and those too week were discarded overboard into the “Horse Latitudes.” Only the most fit survived.
They conquered those that originally ate them, plowed fields, and helped create a mighty country. One million were sent to fight a World War, 200 came back. Some found their way into the abyss, into a desert land, little water or food. After 500 years they evolved into the American Wild Mustang. The most enduring animal ever.
Their social behavior has made them the very living symbol of American freedom and perseverance. They fought our wars, were made into dog food, farmed, moved people and goods, rodioed, stared in movies. Now the BLM is rounding them up to put them into zoos. Will we see a reflection of our own freedom as we witness them in cages? Once they’re gone, they will be gone forever.
Is our own freedom so fragile that some of us can’t be free to witness them as they are? That some who would profit have rights more important? Do corporations greed over rule even our American symbols? They are more American then any of us or any corporation. I would rather give up my soul then see their demise.

It is now almost nine years since September 11, 2001, the day “everything changed.” On that day, and for the next six years, I called myself a “conservative.” I had voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and I would vote for him again in 2004, convinced, as most of America had been, that we were attacked by “Al Qaeda” on 9/11.
It was not until May 2007 that I finally awoke from my long slumber of ignorance and began a painful emotional and intellectual journey after having realized that everything I thought I knew was wrong.
I had not only been a “conservative,” following 9/11, I had changed my voter registration from “independent” to Republican. I had been a libertarian for some twenty or more years by then, but I had become disillusioned with libertarianism and had spent most of the nineties in a near apolitical frame of mind. When 9/11 occurred and all the usual sources of information told me it was the work of Arab terrorists, like most folks, I believed it and I was angered by it. I swallowed the Neocons’ explanation of events hook, line and sinker, despite having known as early as 1977 of the international banksters and the conspiracy to create a world government. I had believed in this for a few years, when I was a young man, but had eventually dismissed it as “conspiracy theory” because it all seemed so unreal to me. There was nothing tangible about it that I could point to with any certainty, so I forgot all about it, although, when I heard George Bush, Sr. mention a “New World Order,” in 1991, my ears did perk up. But, I went quickly back to sleep, thinking it was all too fantastic to be real. More
