Missouri Information Analysis Center and Patriots

Today on Truth Farmer radio show, I will be speaking with a fellow Missourian, Tim Neal about this report and the ever strengthening police state being developed in the nation. Later I will try to post a link to the report itself, but for now, please read Chuck Baldwin's response to what has been served up for all of those who love this country.

My Response To MIAC Report
By Chuck Baldwin
March 24, 2009

By now, readers should be familiar with the Missouri Information Analysis
Center (MIAC) report dated 02/20/09 and titled, "MIAC Strategic Report: The
Modern Militia Movement." In this dreadfully malicious and slanderous "law
enforcement sensitive" secret police report, Governor Jeremiah (Jay) Nixon;
John Britt, Director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety; James
Keathley, Colonel, Missouri State Highway Patrol; and Van Godsey, Director
of MIAC categorize certain citizens as being potential violence-prone
"militia members." I would venture to guess that more than 75% of the entire
population of the United States would fit the MIAC's broad definition of
someone who would fall into the aforementioned category.

According to the MIAC report, if you oppose any of the following, you could
qualify for being profiled as a potential dangerous "militia member":

The United Nations
The New World Order
Gun Control
The violation of Posse Comitatus
The Federal Reserve
The Income Tax
The Ammunition and Accountability Act
A possible Constitutional Convention
The North American Union
Universal Service Program
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
Abortion
Illegal Immigration

Again, I would bet that at least 75% of the American people would oppose at
least one or more items on the above list. Well, according to the MIAC
report, that is sufficient to make them potential dangerous "militia
members."

However, it is the following statement contained in the MIAC report that is
particularly disturbing to yours truly. Under the heading "Political
Paraphernalia," the report states, "Militia members most commonly associate
with 3rd party political groups. It is not uncommon for militia members to
display Constitutional [sic] Party, Campaign for Liberty, or Libertarian
material. These members are usually supporters of former Presidential
Candidate [sic]: Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr."

The obvious inference of the above statement links Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and
myself to potential dangerous "militia members." The broader implication is
that the millions of people who supported Ron Paul, Bob Barr, or myself are
likewise categorized as potential dangerous "militia members." This is a
classic case of broad-brushed police profiling. Can you imagine the fallout
of this preposterous report had the names Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and
Maxine Waters been used instead of the names Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and
Bob Barr?

Accordingly, Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and I wrote a formal letter to the
above-named Missouri officials demanding "that the following-described
document be immediately removed from any and all websites associated with or
maintained by the state of Missouri or any agency thereof, including the
MIAC; that the said document no longer be circulated by the state of
Missouri or any agency thereof or associated therewith; and that the state
of Missouri repudiate its references to the three of us contained therein."

Ladies and gentlemen, we simply cannot allow this kind of police profiling
to continue. I assure you, this phenomenon is not limited to the State of
Missouri. Every state that has a "Fusion Center" is being fed this kind of
nonsense on a regular basis. You and I are commonly referred to as
"extremists" in these secret police reports. This has been happening in
earnest for the past couple of months and is operating under the auspices of
the federal Department of Homeland Security. And people with a public
platform (such as myself, Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and a host of others) are now
being singled out by name. How long will it be before police agencies begin
"picking up and hauling away" those people whose names are mentioned in
these reports? It may be sooner than we think.

To see if your state has a "Fusion Center," go here:

http://www.dhs.gov/xinfoshare/programs/gc_1156877184684.shtm

The only thing that will stymie this nonsense is a huge public outcry
opposing it. Yes, the people of this country (that means YOU) still have the
power to put a stop to this kind of totalitarian thinking. If we do nothing,
however, it will soon be too late to stop it. We either stop it now, or it
will quickly mushroom into a leviathan that will both monitor and control
the personal opinions and speech of every man, woman, and child in this
country. No, I am not exaggerating.

The Feds already monitor virtually every phone call, email, and public
speech in the country. How long before these secret police reports will be
used as justification to arrest and incarcerate people because of their
ideas and opinions, labeling them as a "threat" or as "dangerous" to
society?

Here is the contact information for the appropriate officials in Missouri:

Email address: Brandon.middleton@mshp.dps.mo.gov

Missouri Information Analysis Center
Division of Drugs & Crime Control
P. O. Box 568
Jefferson City, MO 65102-0568
Phone: 573-751-6422
Toll Free: 866-362-6422
Fax: 573-751-9950

And while you are at it, you should also contact the state police agency as
well as the governor's office in your state, especially if your state has a
"Fusion Center" (see web site above). Mark it down: if you have ever
publicly opposed any of the above-mentioned issues or organizations, or have
ever publicly supported an independent Presidential candidate, YOU ARE BEING
PROFILED RIGHT NOW!

We await the State of Missouri's response. In the meantime, what are you
going to do?

P.S. Even as this column is being distributed, we have just received a reply
from the Director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety, John Britt. I
will analyze and respond to this statement in my next column.

From A Sheltered Place-NAIS refugee

As an intro, one of the major pushers of NAIS is the Farm Bureau. This is from an individual who has sought to be invisible due to the mandated nature of NAIS in their prior dwelling......Volumes are said, and highly pertinent to the current destrcution of the smaller dairies right now..........

Farm Bureau sells out its national constituency.

Word came to us recently that the National Farm Bureau Federation (NFBF) is sending a postcard to their 3 million members polling them on their stance on the USDA’s proposed National Animal Identification System (NAIS). Members are to fill this card out and mail it appropriately.

NFBF could just as well have stapled a condom on that postcard. Farm Bureau claims to be the voice for the independent farmer, but they have been actively working for years to create a national animal identification system and a premises ID. In the early 90s, NFBF was instrumental in creating the National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA). The NIAA, in 1999, started working with the USDA for implementation for the tagging of livestock and the registering of premises into a national database. The mechanism for implementing this program is disease eradication programs. In Michigan, starting in 2005, the RFID tag and the registering of premises began with the TB eradication program the Michigan Department of Agriculture had started several years earlier. TB, a disease that is not highly contagious and of no threat to human health, is being used as an excuse to kill off healthy animals in the name of controlling a disease.

Over 100 million dollars has been spent to “depopulate” more than 40 herds of mostly healthy cattle in Michigan. Now the USDA has its sights set on brucellosis eradication in the Yellowstone region of the western United States, TB in the southwest—the result of cattle coming from Mexico, and any other “emerging” disease that they consider a threat to our food system.

I had the opportunity some years ago, as an unwitting member of Farm Bureau, to attend a Farm Bureau hosted regional meeting where the attendees were briefed on the new USDA farm program at that time. We listened to a doctor Ag Economy “expert” from Michigan State University explain how the USDA calculates target price for the loan deficiency payment for the political commodity program. After listening to his confusing, complex, explanation of how all this comes about, I raised the question, “Wouldn’t it be much simpler to go back to the Farm Program of 1948 and calculate farm prices with simple arithmetic, which would give farmers a much improved price so they would not have to borrow money to run their operations?” I do not recall the answer. But the President of Michigan Farm Bureau, Wayne Wood, who was sitting behind me, came up and talked to me afterwards. His family runs a large confinement dairy in the thumb of lower Michigan. He straight-faced told me to my face, that the American farmer cannot receive a price that he would like to have because of the law of supply and demand. There is too much production.

I took a step forward toward him and I said, “What about MPC, Milk Protein Concentrate, that is imported into this country by the large corporate processors, such as Kraft Corporation, that is used in the cheese vats so that the low quality, A-1 type milk that the large inefficient dairy Holstein cow produces will yield a higher volume of cheese?” –the type of cow that Wayne Wood has in his dairy barns. Mr. Wood looked down at his shoes, I think to check to make sure his shoe strings weren’t tied together so he wouldn’t trip when he stepped back from me, and he said, in a distressed tone, “We are looking into that.”

The industrial American Dairy Industry is going broke. The largest growth sector in the new food system is the small farm of 1 - 9 head of cattle and under $1000 in annual sales, an increase of over 63,000 such farms between 2002 and 2007.

According to the recently released data from the USDA’s 2007 ag census, the USDA’s numbers only represent those food producers who filled the survey out and sent it back. How many are there really? People are opting out of the industrial system and going directly to their neighbor or local farm market. Is NFBF going to support Congresswoman De Lauro's HR875 that has 36 co-sponsors, that sets up a Food Safety Administration? A new agency where the Administrator is given a blank check to regulate, control and license every “food production unit” with a million dollar a day fine for each offense for every day that you are not in compliance?

Maybe NFBF will send a postcard out to its constituency with two condoms stapled to the next postcard. Oh, by the way, the condom is new bailout mascot, the bailout for the failing corporate entity.

The condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you are actually being screwed. However, the ones that Farm Bureau is sending out, if they take my suggestion, will have holes in them because of the staples.

Shame on you Farm Bureau, shame, shame, shame.



--Vigilance from a sheltered place.

p.s. You grab a wolf by the ears, good luck, you’re going to need it. You can’t control him and you don’t dare let him go.

Sentinel Radio Show Launched!

As if raising children and critters and milking other people's cows along with doing laundry were not enough, this past week I helped write a white paper for Congress on NAIS and with some testimony for a House Subcommittee hearing on the National Animal Identification System as well as debuting a radio show. Whew. I am NOT bored.

At any rate, the radio show is a internet start up called Sentinel Radio, and being quite accustomed to standing on the deck of the Titanic with the other members of steerage fare, I am certainly in favor of seeing those deck chairs as potential raft material, so Sentinel seems quite appropo.

My show is called, Truth Farmer, just like this blog, and it is aired online on Tuesdays from 12noon CST through 2pm CST. You can also access archived shows. It is an exciting venture and I get to pull on a lot of my highly informed and entertaining friends as guests and we'll be able to spread the word about what is happening in and to agriculture and therefore the entire food supply system of the united States and the world.

You can join the fun here:

There are several other shows on Sentinel that are quite worthwhile, and you should bookmark and join in whenever you can. This is a joint effort of several people who were tossed off other radio networks for speaking the Truth. I promise it won't be boring!
