This from Dita Sullivan

It was a case similar to this, about 20 years ago, that first made me see the full extent of the vindictive stupidity of liberals.

I remember being horrified that government agents were raiding Amish dairy farms, confiscating the produce and arresting farmers for selling unpasteurized milk to people who wanted it.

But even more horrifying was that my friends - all of whom were liberals who bought organic vegetables, believed that they were entitled to the "bodily autonomy” of abortion, taking & passing around drugs at will, and the rest of the tenets of the self-congratulatory Empire of Good - were on the side of the government arresting farmers.

It makes no sense - until you realize that the "choice” of killing the unborn for convenience and getting high are sacraments to the members of The Empire of Good - but choosing raw milk isn’t. It hasn’t been publicly endorsed as a human right by a rock star, or acclaimed as an essential ingredient in the beauty regime of a millionaire celebrity prostitute. And the Amish, with their traditional morality and clunky clothes are soooo not-cool.

This was the covid cult - avant la lettre.

Amish farmer wins court battle for ‘food freedom,’ can return to selling raw meat and milk

FTA: Miller’s spokeswoman Anke Meyn told the Return To Now blog, "The USDA processing plants require the meat to be treated with a chemical cocktail of citric acid, lactic acid and peracetic acid. It’s not citric acid from oranges or lactic acid from sauerkraut. It’s all created in a lab. It’s a synthetic sterilizer that causes many health problems.”

FTA: "Here you have a case of people saying, ‘I don’t want food the way the USDA wants it,’ and ‘they’re saying nope, you can’t have it that way… "

"If you’re shopping at Miller’s farm, you’re not doing it by accident. Amos Miller doesn’t sell food to anyone who doesn’t want it exactly how he’s making it.”

"The USDA wants to take what was supposed to be an interstate labeling law and use it to regulate what foods you can and cannot put into your own body.

"Look at any study of the Amish and you will find by almost any health metric, they are healthier than the people living off USDA-approved food. And the USDA, you know what they think is healthy? Bill Gates’ synthetic corn … his fake beef.

"This is about the USDA’s attempt to monopolize our food supply, and they targeted an Amish farmer to set the precedent.”

Tim adds:

I too have followed this for many years. What gets me is not just the arrests, but the way they have often done it; with SWAT teams making pre-dawn raids on some of these farmers. It's despicable.

So much of this is to bankrupt family farms and give the land to corporate farming, methinks. And to get us used to the idea that military power will be wielded against anyone who dares buck them.

I agree; it's about control of the food supply. Control food and you control the population. It's why Stalin took all the grain out of Ukraine.

I wrote about this a number of years ago.
