"Plans were laid years in advance for monopolizing the cattle
production of the Great Plains.
The
Money Power financed the
extermination of the buffalo.
A high price was offered for
buffalo hides in whatever quantity offered.
All men who wished to
hunt buffalo could get an
outfit on credit.
On these terms,
an army of buffalo hunters was
organized.
After the initial carnage wrought by buffalo hunters
from trains the buffalo hunters lined banks of the streams where the buffaloes
came to drink and in two or three years, the buffalo, numbering many millions
were exterminated.
Only the money power could have effected the
extermination of the buffalo.
"Kill every buffalo you can! Every
buffalo dead is an Indian gone."
Only they had
money enough to equip such an army of
slaughterers.
Only world-wide commerce
had a market for a vast number of hides.
The money power had been
obtaining hides for monopolized trade in leather, shoes, and other leather
products, from Buenos Aires, in South America.
It was only necessary to
substitute buffalo hides for South American hides, for two or three years, to
secure the extermination of the buffalo.
The money power saw a grand
investment in devoting the Great Plains to the production of beef.
As
soon as the buffalo were exterminated, they began to buy cattle in Texas, and
cows and calves and young cattle in all the states, to start ranches on the
Great Plains.
This caused a boom in cattle all over the country;
multitudes of enterprising Americans organized cattle companies, and started
cattle ranches all over the West, from Texas to Montana, mortgaging their
property, and taking money out of their business, in order to take stock in the
cattle companies.
The boom in prices was kept up until
the Great Plains were fully occupied with cattle ranches."
L.B. Woolfolk
1890
1970 Radical changes in the
government policy concerning agriculture and subsidies are ushered
in.
Farm subsidies prioritize the growing of commodities
non-perishable food products to be
stored indefinitely in
grain-bins and traded on
the world market to increase GDP, allowing the government more borrowing
power.
In
industrialized meat production you
run head long into a lot of problems.
The pork producer, the meat packer
and the retail seller are all at odds.
Each wants to maximize profit
and minimize expense.
Each is willing to externalize costs.
Contract negotiation will be coercive and unfavorable if any of these
three branches of industry have been monopolized.
Pork packing firms are
independent profitable business'.
After the
Panic of 1873, pork packing becomes a
losing business.
Packers in
St. Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati are
slaughtering hogs but by the time the bacon is put on the market
Armour has flooded the market.
"I
come from a long line of pig butchers and meat-packers: Armour.
My
not-too-distant relatives were responsible for such ingenious inventions as the
refrigerated train car and the "kill floor," and ultimately the meat-oriented
status of the modern American diet.
Armour owned a business which
bought hogs from local farmers for delivery to slaughterers and packers.
The demands of the hungry Union armies during the
Civil War created a
boom in pork and the Armour brothers prospered - and profiteered.
In a
business move that might land you in jail Philip took advantage of artificially
swollen food prices toward the end of 1864 and
sold futures to pork
barrels he did not possess for delivery
in the spring of
1865 when, he
gambled, the War would be ending and
prices would have fallen.
His
gamble paid off, and
netted a two million profit
at the expense of disgruntled traders and government merchants." - Jeffrey
Armour Nelson
1869 Two years after the Armour
packing house is built in Chicago six thousand hogs are being butchered a
day.
Armour originates a
number of assembly line slaughtering techniques,
the use of waste products
and the sale of canned
meat.
Armour packing houses in Kansas City, Omaha and
Chicago.
Packers in St. Louis, Cincinnati and
Louisville, go bankrupt.
"Employees
worked as much as 18 hours a day in unsanitary conditions.
There
always seemed to be another new young man available and willing to step in and
take the hammer, knife or saw whenever
an employee would
lose a finger, hand, eye - or stomach for the job.
The Armours were
ruthless competitors; they would open a retail outlet in every city and flood
the market with their products, selling them at such ridiculously low prices
the local butchers and outlets could not compete.
Townsfolk took to
Armour meat with the intensity of Heroin
addicts.
Once the local competition was forced to close their doors and
leave Armour would then raise prices and control availability through
pricing.
Armour, using this technique, drove thousands of
smaller operators who had been in the butchery business for years into
bankruptcy and
ruin.
Monopolistic business practices caused a tumult when US
soldiers in the Spanish-American War
died from eating meat canned by Armour.
Armour and his competitors
permission of sawdust, rats, animal feces, and portions of animals heretofore
considered inedible being used in the production of "meat" products eventually
prevailed upon the
attention of Congress.
The Sherman Anti-Trust Act is enacted to
protect the public from the unscrupulous business practices of the Armours and
"robber barons."
Years after
its enactment, the Armours were indicted for
violations of the Sherman Act based on testimony they gave before Congress
in which they revealed the very incriminating details of their business
practices.
A brilliant,
silver-tongued lawyer of the day retained by the Armours argued that they
should be able to invoke -- retroactively -- their Fifth Amendment right not to
implicate themselves, and thus prevent the introduction at trial of their own
previous damning testimony before Congress, and prevent the introduction of all
the evidence procured as a result of that testimony.
On the eve of
trial, after a jury had been empaneled, a judge accepted the lawyer's argument
and dismissed the case against the Armours.
The newspapers of the day
proclaimed derisively that the Armours' lawyer had given them an 'immunity bath'." - Jeffrey Armour

A transgene is an
artificial gene, manipulated in the biolab that incorporate all appropriate
elements critical for gene expression generally derived from a different
species, for example, production of a1-proteinase inhibitor protein in
transgenic sheep carrying transgene of human origin.
The use of
transgenic animals in the field of molecular genetics is standard and neccesary
for control purposes.
Molecular genetics experiments use only model
organisms with known regulatory DNA sequences, i.e. enhancers, that drive gene
expression at particular times in development and in particular cells.
By reducing the variables
it becomes easier to predict mutational effects with transgenic animals.
It is impossible to
predict how these genetic switches would function in animals outside of those
specifically bred for the purposes of these experiments.
Wise Use ideology
engineered the passage of laws in at least 13 states making it a crime to
photograph industrial factory farm animals!
"Factory farmed animals -
cattle, pigs, chickens -
live in unnatural and cruel conditions, which do not allow them to live the way nature
intended.
Factory
farmers treat them as commodities rather than living, breathing,
sentient beings that feel pain
and suffer, just like humans.
It's time to make changes, not just
because of the harm to our health and environment but because
having respect for all beings will
help create a more humane world." - Valerie Belt
"If you wanted
to create global pandemics, you'd build as many of these factory farms as
possible.
That's why the
development of swine flu isn't a surprise to those in the
public health community.
In 2003, the American Public Health Association - the oldest and
largest in world - called for a moratorium of factory farming because they saw
something like this would happen.
It may take something as serious as a
pandemic to make us realize the real cost of factory farming." - Dr. Michael
Greger

researchers discover new swine flu with 'pandemic potential'
The
increased use of antibiotics in animal production has gone hand-in-hand with
the development of factory farms - industrial-style livestock operations.
Thousands of animals are crammed into the unhygienic, crowded quarters
of a typical industrial-style livestock operation, and antibiotics are
dispensed constantly through the animals' feed.
Twenty-five million
pounds of antibiotics are
fed to livestock in the US annually - eight times more than the amount used as
human medicine.
Six of the 17 classes of antibiotics used to promote
growth in animals are also used to treat diseases in humans.
A
Harvard
University study showed that
antibiotic-resistant genes
found in bacteria infecting humans were
identical to some of the same
bacteria infecting animals.
Pew Commission on Industrial Farm
Animal Production recommended:
"Ban the non-therapeutic use of
antimicrobials in food animal production to reduce the risk of antimicrobial
résistance to medically important antibiotics and other
microbials."
1966 One million farms house 57
million pigs.
1998 In the nation's largest pig
farm, a North Carolina factory farm, an
aggressive H3N2 virus of a never-before-described triple
hybrid of three virus - a human
virus, a pig
virus and a bird virus - was
discovered.
2001 80,000
farms house 57 million pigs.
"More and more farmers are finally starting
to see the writing on the
wall.
A typical year, dairy farmers get only 11 cents from every
dollar spent on milk.
According to the USDA the average age of the
American farmer is 58, with over 31% still running their farm at over 65 years
old.
The price of a bushel of corn was $3.58 on Dec 2, 1974.
In
January of 2018, a bushel of corn sold for $3.56, down two cents from 44 years
ago.
They are returning to growing food instead of commodities, and more
importantly they are marketing that food directly to customers, instead of
selling it for pennies on the dollar to multinational packing and processing
corporations.
The farmer who planted his first field of corn in 1974 can
expect the same prices for his corn as he retires.
All the while the
price of seed, land, equipment, fertilizer, and fuel have grown exponentially.
It's unbelievable. It's an insult. It's downright sinful. " - Whitney
Belprez
2009 Swine flu
pandemic starts at a Smithfield Foods - the largest global
pork packer and
hog producer - massive hog-raising operation in Perote, Mexico, in the
state of Vera Cruz.
A Smithfield subsidiary, Granjas Carrol, raises
950,000 hogs per year.
Residents of Perote believed the outbreak had
been caused by contamination from pig breeding farms located in the area which
polluted the atmosphere and local water bodies and that this, overtime, led to
the disease outbreak.
A municipal health official stated that
preliminary investigations indicated that the disease vector was a type of fly
that reproduces in pig waste and that the outbreak was linked to the global
industrial pig farms.
Residents say the
fecal waste produced
isn't adequately treated.
Swarms of flies hover over waste lagoons
transfering respiratory ailments.
Mexican health agency Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social has
acknowledged that the original carrier for the flu could be the "clouds of
flies" that multiply in the Smithfield manure lagoons.
"Adrian Gibbs, 75, who
collaborated on research that led to the development of Roche Holding AG's
Tamiflu drug, said in an interview that he intends to publish a report
suggesting the new strain may have
accidentally evolved in eggs scientists use to grow virus and
drugmakers use to make
vaccines.
Gibbs said he came to his conclusion as part of an effort
to trace the virus's origins by
analyzing its genetic blueprint." - Jason Gale and Simeon

This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes

is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate
cartels desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld

American
social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as
