A DOUBLE BLOW TO THE MORMONS: SHUTDOWN OF LDS CANNERIES AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION, TOO!

BREAKING NEWS: LDS CANNERIES TO HALT CANNING!

By Kellene Bishop
 

June 27th Deadline for Canning at LDS Canneries West of the Mississippi

As is supported by the announcement to the left in part, LDS Canneries  will no longer be canning any food at their facilities beginning June 27th, 2013. Insiders who are closely involved with these actions tell me that this will encompass “west of the Mississippi” and that the reason for such a startling action is because they are no longer able to justify the abhorrent costs to keep in compliance with the ever-changing criteria set forth by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration.
Keep in mind that the LDS Church Corporation is no pauper nor have they shown anything but an admirable determination to continue running these facilities over the years. They stand as a beacon of self-sufficiency in every sense of the word as they are run debt free and strictly by volunteers. There’s hardly a home of an LDS Member in existence that doesn’t possess at least a couple of their trademarked, understated brand of cans from the cannery and there are millions of non LDS persons who have discovered the food that can be purchased from these centers as one of the best kept secrets to successful family budgeting. They are NOT backing down because of a small speed bump. No, this decision would ONLY come as a result of some pretty significant obstacles.
What’s a cannery that doesn’t can anything? Well, apparently it’s just a center now in which people will be able to check out the #10 canners for a few days at a time and can dry goods in their own home now or they’ll be able to purchase pre-packaged goods that will be canned in the more robust facilities in the Western States which will no doubt bear the burden of the cost to be shipped now to the Eastern states. However, several interviews made it clear to me that there’s an active intent by these government entities to shut down ALL LDS Canneries ALL over the U.S. including the ability to purchase foods in bulk and that there’s a targeted time table by the government entities to have this accomplished at the end of the next two years. We’ll just have to see who wins that little challenge.
I’m greatly disturbed by this recent change of events, not only because I have personally volunteered at several of the affected facilities, but I personally know literally hundreds of readers who will also be impacted by this change. I’ve been able to confirm this week that this policy has been put in place at a handful of other LDS Canneries in other areas of the country including Missouri, and Washington.
Adding more fodder to this mess is the recent uptick in the government agencies harassing the LDS Church owned orchards in various parts of the U.S. Here’s one letter I received by one of the members of the LDS Church who showed up to volunteer on a church run orchard in Idaho.  (As always—name withheld)
“We are blessed to live close to the LDS church orchards and get the opportunity to work there every year to prune, thin, and harvest peaches, pears, plums, cherries, apricots, apples, etc. It is such a blessing to people who live here and for the members of the church who provide labor which ultimately feeds thousands of people worldwide.
However, the feds have upped their regulations this year and are requiring every volunteer to be (specially government) trained. They have made it clear that we could be audited, and the volunteers could be asked by Gov’t officials on-site (at any time) if they have been ‘trained’. If we are not in compliance, the orchard could be shut down. So after Sacrament meeting today they had a Stake member come and pass out a ‘training’ sheet and gave adults a card that people are supposed to sign and take with them out to the orchard when we work to show that we have been trained. The wards now have to have an orchard coordinator that will be on site to ‘train’ those people who fall through the cracks and missed the training. (Editor note: Remember—these are ALL volunteers who make this all possible.)
The training includes on-site cleanliness (washing hands, etc. and using the toilet facilities that the church has always provided (us) before ‘they’ said anything); another item was that if fruit touches the ground we are to not put it in the bins; we can’t use it for use at the cannery. However, that fruit is good enough for me to pick up and take home to eat, hmmmm. Moving on….
Another item–That children are watched carefully so they don’t pick fruit with unclean hands, (seems to me that the canning process would kill any bacteria that a child or adult might have on their hands); that each volunteer record their hours, and that we provide proof of training to any official who may want to see it on demand.
Now this is just another effort to make us more dependent on ‘Them’. I was livid during this meeting as I realized what was happening and what ‘They’ are trying to accomplish. This is a sign of it trickling down to the people of our country and many don’t see the tentacles reaching out to grab and control them. Too many people are complacent and don’t realize what this means for the future of our food production.
The cannery in Boise has had to quit canning meats because ‘They’ passed more regulations that the Church wasn’t willing to abide by. So rather than jump through more hoops the church decided they would no longer can meats. I guess it is good that I already can meat and also teach others to do so. I wonder what other ‘regulations’ they will pass to try and shut the cannery down.
I live in Idaho, and the stakes from (redacted) westward do orchard work and the Stakes in (redacted) do cannery work. We have loved doing work in the orchards and have enjoyed having our children help. But I guess we have to be extra vigilant and be in compliance, so we will be making sure our children don’t contaminate the whole orchard by picking up a piece of fruit off the ground and eating it on site. This is an item that ‘they’ insist on compliance. Absolutely NO picking of fruit and eating it while in the orchard. HA! How have we survived this long without Government regulations??”
(italics added)
When you consider this bit of news with the incident that was reported last year in which an LDS Cannery received a surprise visit from the FBI who reportedly demanded to see a list of their patrons  —things start coming into focus. I also can’t help but think of the increase numbers of regular, everyday home gardeners that are being harassed by the police just because t...    No, I’m not talking about some crazy story in some other country; I’m talking about what’s going on right here in the U.S.A.
I’d say that we’ve all had ample indications that it’s time to wake up and get prepared. You’ve already lost one more valuable outlet with this latest maneuver. You’re likely to find that your bank account has been emptied overnight by the powers that be like it was for many in Cyprus and Canada recently. You’re likely to find that it’s impossible to purchase non-gmo seeds any longer to grow, or that your water supply will be drastically reduced. Who knows what will happen exactly, but no one can sit there and feign ignorance or plead that they never had any warning. This, my friends, is a warning to us all.
 
Note:  I do not think the majority of Americans realize the depth and extent the USDA has in the new laws in regulating and restricting food now.  Even the best "Prepper's
 will eventually have to rely on the government for their food or seed or some aspect of their ability to feed themselves and others.  I consider this as a legal way to control US.  What say you?
 
WHAT SAY I?  GIVE ME AN HOUR OF YOUR TIME.   
WHAT SAY I?  I AM FURIOUS AT THIS ONSLAUGHT AGAINST THE DIGNITY OF A WAY OF LIFE AND RELIGION?  ON WHAT WILL COME THE NEXT ATTACK.  MY LITTLE ONE HAD AN ANGELIC MORMON BABYSITTER.  SHE WAS A PREPPER - WE LIVED IN EARTHQUAKE COUNTRY.  SHE HAD ENOUGH FOOD AND WATER FOR HERSELF, HER DAUGHTER, AND THE FAMILIES OF THE CHILDREN ENTRUSTED TO HER LOVING CARE.  THIS IS JUST ANOTHER OBAMA ASSAULT ON THE CONSTITUTION AND TO THE CITIZENS OF THE USA.  I SUGGEST YOU GIVE YOUR FULL SUPPORT TO THE MORMONS IN EVERY WAY YOU CAN; BY DENOUNCING THIS, BY CALLING/EMAILING AND BEING OBNOXIOUS TO YOUR ELECTED GANGSTERS.  WE NEED TO STOP THIS MALIGNANT MACHINE THAT HAS COME TO RESIDE IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

OBAMA'S SECOND INAUGURAL - AN UNOFFICIAL TRANSLATION

http://teapartyeconomist.com/2013/01/22/obamas-second-inaugural-an-unofficial-translation/

Did you know that the Obama's got into their limo to drive across the free speech zone in Freedom Plaza, and then got out and continued to walk?

Do you know about "free speech zones"?

Here's a link to a google search.

IN AMERICA, JOURNALISTS ARE CONSIDERED TERRORISTS

http://theintelhub.com/2012/09/29/in-america-journalists-are-considered-terrorists/

(May I correct this?  In OBAMALAND, journalists are considered terrorists unless they favor him, just like in banana republics like Haiti under Papa Doc, and in Venezuela and Cuba under communist dictators...get used to it unless you don't like that idea and vote the SOB POS out.)

OBAMA'S SHARIAH-INSPIRED WAR ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT - CLIFF KINCAID/PAM GELLER

Dear Friend of America's Survival, Inc.:
Pamela Geller has an important column at World Net Daily: OBAMA'S SHARIAH-INSPIRED WAR ON 1ST AMENDMENT
This issue is far more important that what Romney said months ago about the 47 percent. It is far more important than what Obama said years ago about redistribution of income. We know Obama is a Marxist. What's new?
What's new is that our First Amendment rights are under attack. Obama has sold us out and Romney isn't saying a word. He must speak out.
Geller writes that "...the riots have everything to do with America and U.S. policy. They are about freedom of conscience and freedom of speech: they're an attempt to get the U.S. to shut down free speech and criminalize criticism of Islam, in accord with Shariah blasphemy laws. And the Obama administration is responding by putting a huge target on the head of the First Amendment (and on that of every U.S. citizen who exercises that constitutional right). This is a constitutional coup."
This is what we should be talking about. This is what Romney should be talking about.
The latest "incident" is that a satirical Parisian weekly called Charlie Hedbo has published what the media call "crude caricatures" of the Prophet Muhammad. Once again, the Islamic fanatics have their underware in a twist. This magazine had its offices firebombed last year after it published an edition entitled "Sharia Hebdo" and described it as "guest edited" by the Prophet Mohammed.
Today, its offices are surrounded by police, fearful of more violence against the publication.
The AP says there is a "debate about the limits of free expression" that is underway around the world.
That is what the Islamists want. I say to hell with the Islamists. We must stand up for freedom of speech.
Here is the "offensive" cover:
Can you believe violence is being threatened over THAT? The headline is, "You mustn't mock," a barb at the Islamic thought police. Muhammad is the old man in the wheel chair.
Can you believe they call it a "religion of peace?"
Do we have the freedom to criticize this violence-prone religion? Our rights are hanging in the balance.
Send me your thoughts at Kincaid@comcast.net


For America's Survival,


Cliff Kincaid, President

Campaign for Liberty


This coming week, Congress is set to take up another so-called "cybersecurity" bill, H.R. 3523, the "Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011" (CISPA).

And this time, many of those who joined us to stop SOPA and PIPA are supporting this legislation.

So only the immediate action of you and your fellow C4L members can help protect our privacy from the government's ever-expanding reach.

After our victory over SOPA/PIPA, I wrote to you in late February about the need to stay vigilant against Congress' attempts to assert more control over the Internet.

Well, since then, Republicans and Democrats have introduced at least four major "cybersecurity" bills.

Expanding government power is always bipartisan.

CISPA, sponsored by Rep. Mike Rogers (MI-8), is promoted as a harmless bill that will enable voluntary "information sharing" between private corporations and government agencies in the name of "cybersecurity."

Unfortunately, it would allow the transfer of vast amounts of data, including information like your Internet browsing history or email content, to any agency in the federal government, including non-civilian agencies such as the National Security Agency or the Department of Defense Cyber Command.

One major problem with these alleged "cybersecurity" bills is their overly broad focus on what information private companies are encouraged to share with federal agencies.

CISPA currently contains no incentive for private companies like Facebook or Google to remove personally identifiable information from data they share.

In addition, the way this legislation is drafted, it currently overrides privacy presumptions found in the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and the Communications Act regarding the privacy of an individual's online communications and related records.

Essentially, CISPA would deem all existing privacy laws null and void for "cybersecurity" purposes.

Once the government has this information, there are no meaningful restrictions on its use, as its only qualifier is that it must be related to "cybersecurity" or to protect "national security."

As C4L members know too well, "national security" has become a catch-all excuse for government powergrabs since 9/11.

Finally, while the bill includes a requirement for the Director of National Intelligence's Inspector General to issue annual reports on how the government is using the information shared under the bill, such reports would only be provided to congressional intelligence committees.

These reports would not constitute meaningful restrictions or do anything to dissuade the misuse of personal information shared under CISPA.

As I hinted at earlier, unlike the January 18 "Internet blackout" over SOPA and PIPA, this time Internet giants like Facebook and Twitter are openly supporting CISPA, along with powerful special interest groups like the US Chamber of Commerce.

In other words, don't expect the cavalry to back us up on this one.

And House Leadership is currently engaged in a full-court press effort to get your representative to support H.R. 3523.

Sources on the Hill have informed us of "members only" meetings, where representatives are being encouraged to vote for CISPA as a "national security" issue addressing a "credible" "cybersecurity threat."

I'm sure it's only a coincidence that this briefing comes conveniently just ahead of when the establishment wants to ram something through.

In the face of such longshot odds, without your immediate action, I can't promise that we have even the slightest chance of beating back this egregious invasion of your privacy.

But, I've seen the power the liberty movement can have when it speaks out with a unified voice.

And you better believe members of Congress have taken notice, too.

That’s why I hope you’ll contact Congress right away.

Click here to find your representative’s information.

And after you’ve contacted Congress, please forward this email to at least five friends or family members encouraging them to do the same.

Finally, your chip-in contribution of at least $10 or $25 will help Campaign for Liberty mobilize as many Americans as possible to take action on critical issues like CISPA and other so-called "cybersecurity" bills that would strip more privacy away from Americans.

This fight won't have the glamour or media attention that SOPA and PIPA received, so please take action immediately and show Congress the liberty movement is serious about defending our constitutionally protected rights no matter the odds.

In Liberty,

Campaign for Liberty

Matt Hawes
Vice President


P.S. Internet giants like Facebook and Twitter are openly supporting H.R. 3523, the "Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011" (CISPA) - the latest plan from Congress to further infringe on Americans' privacy.

It’s up to the liberty movement to take action and stop CISPA in its tracks! Please contact your representative immediately and demand a "NO" vote on H.R. 3523 and any similar legislation!
