Disturbing

A very reliable source has told me Nestle has a contract for goat's milk less than 100 miles from where I am.  You may be asking how this is news.  Several things are disturbing, literally to the point I've been physically ill over it.  To the point of not eating or needing food to be very bland, which isn't like me at all!  I feel like I'm experiencing Daniel 8:27.   And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it. 

I've attempted to find a Nestle product that would justify the exorbitant price Nestle has contracted for hundreds of gallons of goat milk a week.  To date, I can't find a specific Nestle goat's milk product.  I realize Nestle owns many brands, so I'll continue to research, but my source indicated Nestle is paying a premium price for this goatmilk and secured the contract, so something is in the works.  Every time Big Corp shows interest in independent agriculture, things change.  Sadly it seems, things always change for the worse for independents and small operators.

Nestle's CEO hasn't been shy about his willingness to control food and even water.  We'll continue to follow this.  With Corporate lobby power, political sway seems obvious.  It's truly not about political leanings, as the really Big Operators fund both parties.  WIN/WIN for the big guys.  Meanwhile, USDA starts squeezing the small independents in the surrounding area.  Between Monsanto, BLM and hobby farm raids, it's already clear, independent agriculture is in the crosshairs of the powers that be.

What Have We Become?

I first noticed a vehicle like this in the news footage when the Yearning for Zion Ranch was raided based upon a phone call known to be a hoax.  The county vehicle with the word "Sheriff" on the side looked like some sort of military vehicle.  The other vehicles, behind it, I found quite alarming.  They were church buses to load up all those children and take them away from their mothers.  That was nearly six years ago.  Now more cities and counties have these vehicles.  Will the churches in these communities follow the precedent set in Texas and offer their services to the ones in these intimidating vehicles?



Oh, by the way, in January of this year, Texas won the ruling to seize the 1700 acres, link included below.

Insanity

We need to stop being distracted by details and focus on the reality.  Fort Hood has been attacked again, from within.  I was shocked to learn that Fort Hood is a gun free zone.  I had no idea a military base was gun free, except of course, for the shooters.  As I read the reports, I was sickened that our own military is not safe on home soil.  A contractor killed 12 at the Washington Navy Yard last fall, before police shot him.

It is reported that this shooter was undiagnosed, but had "issues."  The previous Fort Hood shooter was a psychiatrist, so I'm guessing he had already passed a mental health evaluation.

 No state in the union is more pro NRA and Second Amendment than Texas.  Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Now that this has been handled in the same manner twice, while a distracting media diversion is offered;  perhaps it's time to reconsider policy.  Our military personnel should not have to serve in fear in their own country.
