Control the food, and you control the population. And they've decided that there is a lot of food that can come out of small farms - enough to threaten that control, at least in rural America. The more they get you in their databases and under their regulatory regime, the more control they have over you.<br /><br />In the event of a declared national emergency, be prepared to have your livestock and food confiscated. That's the primary goal of the 2011 Executive Order 13575 establishing Rural Councils, and the push for mandatory NAIS across the country.ruralcounselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09193188081686431709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985010373250930438.post-57752193896180259922011-08-25T21:43:33.340-04:002011-08-25T21:43:33.340-04:00Thank you for sticking up for your rights.

Seems that this started in Illinois as a way for the state government to try to raise revenue (license fees). States always had the right to impose a CDL, but it was a politically touchy issue - so they went to DOT and asked DOT to issue "guidance" that the states could then say "forced them to require CDLs." <br /><br />Only problem is that it blew up in DOT/Obama's face.<br /><br />Here's a <a href="http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/about/news/news-releases/2011/Transportation-Reinforces-Committment.aspx" rel="nofollow">link to DOT's decision</a> not to do anything.Countertophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059405469013648135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985010373250930438.post-34656604956295741442011-08-13T21:42:50.484-04:002011-08-13T21:42:50.484-04:00Can you reach out to me via email?
