and has a grocery store that looks like it’s straight out of The Walking Dead there’s nothing left on the shelves except for the vegan section and and even in a natural disaster people would rather die than eat fake meat Foods fake meat substitutes what I’m going to share with you today is absolutely crazy and I was shocked to hear about this but way do you hear about the story they’re they’re trying to pass this bill that uh basically TS livestock for a reason that they say is just for the environment it’s to protect the animals from disease but there’s actually another motivation to this that you’ve got to hear the story and today we have John Moody who’s a homesteader he knows a lot about it he’s personally experienced uh this area for for years so I brought him on to kind of explain to us what is going on because it involves you and I because it involves our food so welcome John thanks for being on here hey hey good morning good morning John uh can you just give us a little brief overview of what’s going on now with this bill they’re trying to pass related to electronic identification of of livestock animal livestock tracking ID goes way way back in history started with branding animals out on open ranges how do you know whose cow is who’s that’s where branding originally came from being able to sort keep track of cattle uh know when they got sold at Market who gets paid for this cow uh very practical nitty-gritty issue as a farmer so branding was replaced as time went on by these ear tags that cattle now wear so if you’ve ever seen a cattle in a field see you got this big ear tag with a number and whatnot that was like the updated version of branding ear tagging cattle and back in the 1990s uh the government USDA fisis some of these agencies along with the rise of the big beef industry which is very different than the actual Farmers they wanted an even newer version of cattle tagging they wanted electronic animal tagging that would allow them to know the exact number and location of all livestock animals all the time wow and and what was the apparent reason that they said that this is going to be good for everyone like so many government programs it sold the idea of safety um so the the government said oh we sometimes have disease outbreaks in animals and we need to be able to know where these animals were where they came from to quickly respond to when we have a significant disease outbreak you know the irony there is like Ireland in 2022 um rolled out electronic ID for under this guys well we need this um to you know diseases and other things in our animals now this is a country that as far as I’m aware has never ever ever once had a significant animal like have you ever been you know perusing the newspaper or listening to the Nightly News and it’s like Ireland epicenter of animal disease outbreak that rocks so you know so on the one hand um congresswoman Hegman and others have pointed out this idea we need a new system to deal with animal disease outbreaks has no evidence at all we’ve never had an animal disease outbreak in America get out of hand um no other country that’s implemented this program has even had you know nationally let alone globally significant animal disease outbreaks I mean even in Ireland I think a year later right they announced the need to call which AKA that means kill right yeah 41,000 livestock because to meet climate change targets right yeah and and that’s one of the the you know what’s really going on here when you look at what the industry is saying about this um and then what you know non-governmental organizations Nos and what likee are saying about this is I think your listeners already well aware there’s been a huge push to get Americans in Western countries to eat less meat yep you know since we just had the hurricane um I always love there’s this really funny meem my friends always post after natural disasters and has a grocery store that looks like it’s straight out of The Walking Dead there’s nothing left on the shelves except for the vegan section and and even in a natural disaster people would rather die than eat fake fake meat Foods fake meat substitutes the world economic Forum the World Health Organization the United Nations um listeners can easily go look up their push to get people to eat less meat yep um they want them to eat less meat because they say it’s bad for us which is ridiculous they want us to eat less meat because it’s harmful to the environment which to anybody who’s ever been on a pastured cattle farm versus any other type of environmental use of land would know how absolutely insane such a claim is um but the real reason they want us to eat less meat is because they want us to eat bugs and they want us to eat plants and nobody’s doing it yeah no amount of propaganda no amount of subsidization has successfully gotten a large number of westerners to adopt a plant bug based diet so now in certain countries they’re using Eid RFID and those are that’s that stands for electronic ID identification yeah RFID was one of the earlier names for it radio frequency identification um now it’s often being called Eid electronic identification of animals and so in these countries they’ll roll it out under safety and then lo and behold within a few years uh they’re then using it for environmental reasons and and trying to force Farmers to radically reduce the number of livestock because what will happen if we radically reduce the number of livestock they have a solution waiting for us but it’s kind of like a it’s a little bit of a bait and switch and I’m being sarcastic because it’s a lot of bait and switch they come in with this apparent oh yeah safety we’re gonna protect you know the farmer but these farmers are being wiped out right what what happened in in Michigan uh Michigan I think it was around 2000 somewhere between 2007 and 11 I believe they implemented you know Eid type tracking and a number of groups looked at the perform you know what happened to the Michigan Farm economy and farm base compared to states that did not require electronic tracking and stuff and Michigan was just a nightmare they lost significantly more Farms I think it was over 4,000 Farms was it wasn’t it yeah just a very very large number of farms they lost and you know maybe this will help listeners why why would changing an ear tag um cause you to lose more Farmers yeah because all of these things are more labor more compliance more cost that gets passed on to your farmer which which means at the end of the day you eventually see this on your plate you know if if farmers are forced to call animals under the guise of environmental reasons or under the guise um you know eggs during Corona virus eggs went up in price eggs still haven’t came all the way back down well why because there was forced calling of large numbers of chickens and whatnot it’s funny how they use even they use that word calling I mean it sounds benign it’s like why don’t just say killing yeah one of the differen is that often when animals are called they’re not allowed to go into the food supply when chicken houses are liquidated that’s literally the you know so you’ll have these large kfo chicken houses if they get a disease in one of these houses they quite literally liquidate the whole house I think they use nitrogen gas or some other gas and they gas the entire house kill all of the chickens and then bury them in a giant landfill hole taking stuff out of the food supply um to where people can no longer accesses this this just happened to the strong Sisters Farm in Michigan number of months ago they had pigs at a butcher in Indiana and they went to pick up the pigs that
