What Will Be the New Word for These Modern Pogroms?

When this story hit my news feed, I literally wept.  Remember the wedding reception in Fiddler on the Roof?  How unimaginable that sort of thing must have been and how easy it was to breathe a sigh of relief and think how far we are from that sort of governmental abuse!  We're not so far, anymore . . .  Being a homesteader myself, it was all to easy to put myself in their place, and I certainly didn't like the way it made me feel.

We ran a story last month on a SWAT Team raid of an organic farm in Texas.  Just as a refresher, the raid resulted in some seizure of plants.
>>>>Members of the local police raiding party had a search warrant for marijuana plants, which they failed to find at the Garden of Eden farm. But farm owners and residents who live on the property told a Dallas-Ft. Worth NBC station that the real reason for the law enforcement exercise appears to have been code enforcement. The police seized "17 blackberry bushes, 15 okra plants, 14 tomatillo plants ... native grasses and sunflowers," after holding residents inside at gunpoint for at least a half-hour, property owner Shellie Smith said in a statement. The raid lasted about 10 hours, she said.<<<<
There was one arrest for an outstanding traffic violation . . . nothing that had occurred that day, however.  So, if you have a garden in Texas, be sure you don't have any outstanding parking tickets!

Now, back to this beautiful dinner party.  All of the guests were there for the very reason, the health department destroyed everything.  The people wanted the "farm to fork" experience and the host had gone to a great deal of trouble to be in compliance.  The health department was so abusive in their power, that when the owners asked if they could feed the "contraband" vegetables to their pigs, the agent refused to allow that.  The agent then forced bleach to be poured on everything, so it's not even fit to be compost.  We ran an article last spring about all the meat that was donated and destroyed.

Genesis explains very clearly through the account of Pharaoh's Egypt in it's height of power.  Whoever controls the food will control the people.
I've raised the question for some time now, and I'll raise it here.  Do you supposed the children of Israel woke up one morning and said, "Today, we become slaves;" OR do you think it was a slippery slope of continued intimidated concession and attempt to comply, and they woke up one morning asking "When and why did this happen?"

Nevada was one of the worst hit states when the Real Estate bubble burst.  I can't imagine trying to homestead there, if the land were free!  Welcome to the New Amerika, we've redefined the word "Free!"
