"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

Here are some problems with that.
How many US soldiers are going to actually follow orders to kill their brothers in arms.
Only attacking one segment of the population at a time would allow all others to organize and create an overwhelming force that could not be stamped out.
Any attack would need to be overwhelming and simulataneous and that would require a minimum troop level of 32 million (10 to 1 ratio) with the ability to mobilize them and supply them.
Not seeing it happen
I don't think anyone here will tell you that our government only has our best interests at heart or even cares about us as individuals. What we are telling you is that regardless what the government "TRIES" to do, they will only do what we allow them to do. I think if this were to happen, you'd find very quickly that "We the people..." actually run the country.
...I even attended, at my own expense, NIAA's ID Expo in 2006 to learn firsthand about the program. It was there that Dr. John Weimers told me personally that he would drive every back road to find every backyard flock and tag each chicken. (Sharon Zecchinelli)
....and then the ugly specter of NAIS reared up and stopped the dream of a family venture into quality show stock cold in its tracks. Because our faith will not allow us to take this type of mark in order to be able to buy or sell, we cannot and will not engage in NAIS in any way shape or form. (Doreen Hannes)

...In July 2000, USDA officials claimed in our court hearing that,
“The farmers have no rights. No right to be heard before the court, no right to independent testing, and no right to question the USDA.” (Linda Faillace a USDA victim)
www.vtcommons.org...
...agents from the USDA swooping in (9 different vehicles) and beginning the slaughter of our hogs. It is almost one week later, and it is still going on. We have 24 hour armed surveillance [The Henshaw's were held under house arrest for ten days.] The USDA and their cohorts took over 7 months to end their command of our personal property...
[NOTE:] “I am a retired magistrate and am having a real hard time getting my head around why Danny was arrested to begin with. Rather than a warrant, a summons could have been issued which would have given him a court date and not required his arrest. Also, second class misdemeanors can be permitted (sign for with promise to appear on a certain date) or not permitted which require an arrest and being taken to the magistrate for a bond hearing. What was said to the magistrate to make this type of warrant be issued is very perplexing to me...”
[The lawyer] found, after a great deal of study, there was no law at all that pertained to this case, especially how it was carried out with no notice or warning to correct the problem, if in fact one existed. Basically the bottom line is Danny was convicted on laws that do not even exist.....
The Powers that be, can take any written law and mold it to suit their own purpose, especially when they know that the way this whole event was carried out, was WRONG. Even the Deputies outside the Courtroom (Sheriffs) agreed that it was all wrong and should have been handled a lot different....a bunch of BIG BROTHER’S Agents decided that Danny Henshaw was breaking the law, by owning a Hunting Club, and set out to make an example of him. This event was set up as a training session for those involved, for future raids.
State Vet in Vermont sent this link for the APHIS Pseudorabies Eradication State–Federal–Industry Program Standards.
Two points that I can see that VA did not follow.
*Official pseudorabies herd-cleanup plan: A written plan to eliminate pseudorabies virus from a swine herd.
This plan is (1) developed by an official pseudorabies epidemiologist in consultation with the herd owner and his or her veterinary practitioner, when applicable;
(2) mutually acceptable to those parties; and
(3) approved by the State animal health official. [HA! They failed that one]
*Have undergone a 30-day depopulation with appropriate cleaning and disinfection. [Disinfection? What’s that?] Source: nonais.org...

JFJ, when you say we have learned from history what do you mean,
we still fight wars, we still rob, murder maime and torture, the World is full with as much hate today as it has been for millenia.
There can be only 2 reasons for this.
1 humans aare genetically flawed and will not eveolve beyond a certain point
2 everything is has been planned that way.
I'm sorry but this is just fear mongering. Nobody is going to take away our right to grow carrots.
“And one of the best ways to resolve trade disputes is by bringing INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED SCIENTIFIC STANDARDS to bear....We now have harmonized standards for breeding cattle with our two largest trading partners in line with guidance from the World Organization of Animal Health[OIE]....Along with science-based standards, free trade agreements are another powerful tool for bringing greater access to our animal and our horticultural products abroad.
The history of the NAFTA agreements with Canada and Mexico provides ample evidence of how well they work in the agriculture arena...The short list surely must include a strong effective domestic food safety system, a well-trained corps of veterinarians in both public and private practice, AN EFFECTIVE ANIMAL ID SYSTEM, AND A CONSISTENT SCIENCE-BASED APPROACH TO TRADE STANDARDS within the framework of commitment to free trade.”
Regarding the International Standards Organization (ISO), the U.S. notes, with some concern, the recent food safety activity of ISO and the possibility of duplicative (or even contradictory) standards. The U.S. believes that this situation should be addressed by Codex and ISO as soon as possible ....ftp.fao.org...
An important part of the Working Group's mission is to help the OIE define approaches to the development of standards relating to food-borne hazards arising from animals at the on-farm level.
The Working Group has held six meetings since 2002 and has addressed many important issues, including the relationship and coordination between the OIE and the CAC; OIE standards for animal diseases of public health significance; the role and functionality of veterinary services in food safety; control of public health hazards through ante- and post-mortem meat inspection; the identification and traceability of live animals and their products; good farming practices; antimicrobial resistance; good practices in animal feeding; international veterinary certification; ...
The OIE international standards can be used by its 169 Members to prevent the introduction of diseases and pests arising from trade in animals and animal products, while avoiding unjustified sanitary barriers. Source: www.rr-americas.oie.int/documentos/OIE%20Contribution%20to%20tha%20CAC.pdf
FDA formed an internal multi-Center group to meet with external entities (such as industry, consumers, and Federal, state, local, and foreign governments) to better understand the universe of track and trace systems that are currently in use or being developed. FDA has reached out to various organizations, including trade associations and consumer groups, to gain a better understanding of best industry practices for traceability, including the use of electronic and other technologies that speed and enhance the traceback process and the use of systems that connect all the links in the produce supply chain. FDA is using this information to develop recommendations for the fresh produce industry to use to improve its internal traceback systems. We plan to hold a public meeting in the fall to further the exchange of information on available technology and best practices for enhanced traceability. ...
In June 30, the President signed the FY 2008 Supplemental Appropriation into law. This appropriation act provided $150 million for FDA, and these resources will allow FDA to accelerate its transformation of its regulatory strategies to meet the challenges of the evolving global marketplace for food and medical products... FDA is working hard to ensure the safety of food, in collaboration with its Federal, state, local, tribal, and international food safety partners, and with industry, consumers, and academia.

"People in the military are just like most other people outside the military. Good hearted people who are just looking for a better life for themselves and their families."
Yes, and there are people in the military who are psychotic bastards, those that are power hungry, etc...
You commit the same crime that the bashers do. They paint them as all evil, you try to paint them as all good. Yes, they are not all evil, but they are also not all good.
