From Bird Flu To Climate Snakes

Seasoned veterans and livestock producers alike have been scratching their heads trying to realize the media’s consequence to the Avian flu.

Headlines across all major news outlet inform of humans being infected with the “deadly” bird flu after 1 reported case of pink-eye in a human.

The entry communicative is predicted upon a long-disputed claim that Covid-19 was the consequence of a zoonotic jump—the celebrated Wuhan bat wet-market theory.

While the origin of Covid is warmly connected within the technological community, the policy vehicle at the center of this dialect began years prior to Sars-CoV-2 and is rather resolute in force and effect.

In 2016, the Gates Foundation was given to the planet wellness Organization to make the OneHealth Initiative. Since 2020, the CDC has adopted and implemented the OneHealth Initiative to build a “collective, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach—working at the local, regional, national, and global levels—with the goal of acquiring optimal wellness outcomes recognising the interaction between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.”

In the aftermath of Covid-19, the OneHealth Initiative began taking share, due largery in part to millions of taxation dollars adopted through ARP (American Rescue Plan) pounding.

Through its APHIS (Animal and Plant wellness Investigation System) the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) was given $300 million in 2021 to begin implementing “a risk-based, complex, integrated illness monitoring and surveillance strategy domestically...to build additional capacity for zoonotic illness surveillance and prevention,” globally.

“The 1 wellness concept recognizes that the wellness of people, animals, and the environment are all linked,” Said USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs Jenny Lester Moffitt.

According to the USDA’s press release, the Biden-Harris administration’s OneHealth approach will besides aid to estimation “new markets and streams of income for farmers and producers utilizing climate smart food and forestry practices,” by “making historical investments infrastructure and clean energy capacity in agrarian America.”

In another words, the national government is utilizing regulators enforcement to intervene in the marketplace, in addition to subsidizing corporations with taxation dollars to direct a planned economical outcome—ending meat consumption.

Climate-Smart Communities – Planning the Economy through Subsidized Intervention

Under the late announced Climate-Smart Commodities program, the USDA has adapted $3.1 billion in taxation subscriptions to 1 undred and forty-one fresh private Climate-Smart projects, raking from carbon series to Climate-Smart meat and forestry practices.

Private investors specified as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos – who just committed $1 billion to the improvement of laboratory cultured meat-like milks, and meat grown in petri dishes, to

Ballpark, formally known for its hot dogs but is now hardening python meat, is rushing to cash in on this fresh industry, and the OneHealth/USDA certification program.

Culling The Herd – Regulatory Intervention in the Marketplace

Meanwhile, the last vestiges of America’s food freedom and decentralized food sources are inactive being targeted by the full force of the national government.

The erstwhile voluntary APHIS strategy is situated to become the mandate of APHIS-15, which among many another changes, “the strategy will be renamed Animal Health, Disease, and Pest Surveillance and Management System, USDA/APHIS-15. This strategy is utilized by APHIS to collect, manage, and measure animal wellness data for illness and pest control and surveillance programs.”

Among these “many changes” that APHIS-15 is undergoing, they should be of frequent interest to the public—the callback of all references to the volunteer* Bovine Johne’s illness Control Program.

“Updating the authority for management of the strategy to remove mention to the Bovine Johne’s illness Control Program.”

In addition to renovating references to the once-voluntary herd culling program, the USDA is besides implementing mandates RFID ear tags in cattle and bison.

According to the USDA/APHIS-15, expanded authority places origin failure in their jurisdiction and the radio frequency ear tags are essential for the “rapid and accredited recordkeeping for this volume of animals and movement,” which they say “is not available without electronic systems.”

The announcement clears out that RFID tags “may be read without return as the animal goes past an electronic reader.”

“Once the reader scans the tag, the electronically collected tag number can be rapidly and easy transmitted from the reader to a connected electronic database.”

However, manufacture leaders and lawmakers alike have said the database will be utilized to track placement past and movement, and that this data may be utilized to influence the marketplace rate of cattle and bison at the time of processing.

Centralized Control of Processing/Production via Public-Private Partnership Agreements

In addition to the vast fresh authority of the USDA funded through the OneHealth Initiative, and the ARP, the EPA has besides created its own unique set of regulators burdens upon the entry meat industry.

On March 25, 2024, the EPA finalized a fresh set of Clean Water Act regulation changes to limit nitrogen and phosphorus “pollutants” in downstream water treatment facilities from processing facilities. While the EPA’s explanation of authority and jurisdiction over wastewater is performing long-term, the broader context of consolidated processing under 4 multinational meat-packing companies is of much large performance for the mediate future.

With fewer representations, in the United States it is illegal to sale meat without a USDA certification. Currently, the only way to access USDA certification is through a USDA-certified processing facility.

Accepting to the EPA, the fresh rules will impact up to 845 processing facilities nationwide, unless facilities dramatically limit the amount of meat they process each year.

With processing capacity being the number 1 barrier to marketplace for livestock producers, and billions of dollars in grants being awarded to Climate-Smart food substitutes, the amount of government intervention into the marketplace becomes very clear.

The emergence of Authority and economical Fascism – Control the Supply

The United States, erstwhile a consumer-demand free marketplace society, is presently believing the usage of government force, and intervention tactics to bargain and manipulate the marketplace. Simular to 1930’s Italy, this is being achieved by the state within the state, through the usage of selectionism, protectionism, and economical planning between public-private partnership agreements.

The long-term and unavoidable problem with the ecological fascism is that it leads to authoritarian and centralized control, from which escape is impossible.

As each manufacture becomes centralized and consolidated under the few, consumer choice simultaneously disappears. As choice disappearers, so does the ability of the individual to meet their circumstantial and unique needs.

Eventually, the individual no longer serves a function outside of its usage to the state—the final exhale before the last python squeeze.
