Michigan bureaucrats destroy vast amounts of healthy food while homeless U.S. children and veterans starve

(NaturalNews) Very often, there is nothing so destructive and harmful as government bureaucracy, in which nameless, faceless automatons make decisions based on inflexible, arcane and inane rules. And it isn't just the federal bureaucracy; states can be just as guilty of blindly implementing policies that are clearly idiotic. Take Michigan, for example, and the subject of food. As reported by Daisy Luther, the "Organic Prepper," at LewRockwell.com, "While Americans in the nearby city of Detroit face life in third world conditions, unable to even afford running water, the state of Michigan decided to direct its resources towards cracking down on a small food co-op in Standish for having the utter audacity to provide milk, butter, cream and eggs to people who bought shares in the organic dairy." Luther said the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA) is the culprit here; they "must be so proud of their deeds" after forcing Joe and Brenda Golimbieski, owners of High Hill Dairy, as well as Jenny Samuelson, owner of the My Family Co-Op, to "dump out 248 gallons of milk, to break 100 dozen eggs, and to destroy an undisclosed amount of fresh cream, butter and cheese" because, ostensibly, the state didn't get its pound of silver. 'This is such a shame' Pictures of the destruction were posted to the Hill Hill Dairy Facebook page here: Facebook.com. According to the dairy's owners, the MDA threatened to arrest co-op owner Samuelson for "selling food without a license." But the farm is a co-op, where people must by shares to belong, and the food is exchanged and consumed internally, not sold to the general public. But the MDA's bureaucrats declared that the co-op contracts were not valid, wrote Luther, "and therefore, instead of being shared, the food was being sold." "Because co-op members had paid for their shares, technically the MDA stole food that belonged not just to the Golimbieski family, but to every single member of that co-op," she continued. Co-op members responded angrily, as was understandable. One wrote: This is such a shame! I paid for these products and this is what happened!!!! They are all criminals!!! Government stealing all our food! I paid just so that Jenny and the farmers didn't have to carry the burden all on their own!!!! A crying shame. Shame on Michigan's Department of Agriculture! Criminals everyone on u!!!! A browse of the website and Facebook pages reveal happy, healthy-looking, well-treated animals that are free-ranging and roaming around in fields. "How is it that Michigan approves of the horrific conditions in its state's factory farms," Luther posited, "where animals are tortured, drugged, and crammed into cages for the entirety of their miserable lives, but raising animals humanely and naturally is considered 'dangerous?'" 'We control your food supply' "What is wrong with the world when REAL farming is treated like a crime and fresh food is treated like the crystal meth?" she continued. "I'll tell you what's wrong - big corporations do not want us to have options. "They want a monopoly and they are working hard to destroy our other choices," Luther wrote. "Big Agri clearly has many good friends in the Michigan Department of Agriculture. Clearly the 'Department of Agriculture' really means the 'Department of Big Agri.' They aren't there to support small farmers or people who wish to be self-sufficient. They are there to lock down the market for corporate farms." Writing at The Complete Patient, David Gumpert, a raw milk advocate, called what the MDA forced the organic co-op owners to do a "government-sponsored" destruction of nearly $5,000 worth of products and produce, an act which "carried a very clear and powerful political message to all Americans: We control your food and we don't like you buying your food outside the corporate food system." It wasn't clear what recourse the co-op owners and shareholders would take against the MDA and the state, if anything.

Ebola In America!

Sheriffs and Larry Klayman,

Since Gun Control has been a Difficult Avenue to Control People then maybe the 'Ebola Epidemic In America' is the next wave of CONTROL!
According to the Cabal confirming that someone has even the potential of having Ebola is better than the TSA knowing that Chemical Weapons are in a Baby's Diaper, but then use the same gloves to pat the next person down.

What is the New Ebola?
Epidemic
Breaking
Obama
Leadership
Acceptability

Symptoms?
A person with NOT accepting what ANY Government Official tells you to do.
A person that listens to Internet news stories or blogs.
A person that may or NOT own a gun but supports the 2nd Amendment.
A person that supports ANY portion of the U.S. Constitution that the government officials disapprove of at that time.
A person that does NOT accept OPEN Borders for the Refugees to come to the FREE America for We The People to Pay for Their Expenses!

Since You The People are NOT Medical Professionals then the CDC can come in and Quarantine you, from information received from NSA sources, and it is a National Security Issue to keep that INFO Silent to NOT Spread Fear!

If Ebola Hits U.S., Even Healthy Americans Will be Quarantined

"Well persons" who "do not show symptoms" would be forcibly detained
 by Paul Joseph Watson | July 30, 2014

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has procedures in place to deal with such an outbreak backed by force of law.

The official CDC website details ‘Specific Laws and Regulations Governing the Control of Communicable Diseases’, under which even healthy citizens who show no symptoms of Ebola whatsoever would be forcibly quarantined at the behest of medical authorities.

“Quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of well persons who may have been exposed to a communicable disease to see if they become ill. These people may have been exposed to a disease and do not know it, or they may have the disease but do not show symptoms,” states the CDC (emphasis mine).

Gold Is Now Officially Money

Subject: Gold Is Now Officially Money

by Graham Summers - Gains, Pains and Capital Published : July 30th, 2014 1749 words - Reading time : 4 - 6 minutes Everything that has happened since 2007, every Central Bank move, ever major political decision regarding the big banks, every trend, have all been focused solely on one issue. That issue is collateral. What is collateral? Collateral is an underlying asset that is pledged when a party enters into a financial arrangement.  It is essentially a promise that should things go awry, you have some “thing” that is of value, which the other party can get access to in order to compensate them for their losses. You no doubt are familiar with this concept on a personal level: any time you take out a bank loan the bank wants something pledged as collateral should you fail to pay the money back. In the case of property, the property itself is usually the collateral posted on the mortgage. So if you fail to pay your mortage, the bank can seize the home and sell it to recoup the losses on the mortgage loan (at least in theory). In this sense, collateral is a kind of “insurance” for any financial transaction; it is a way that the parties involved mitigate the risk of their deal not working out.  As many of you know, our entire global financial system is based on leverage or borrowed money. Collateral is what allows this to work. Without collateral, there is no trust between financial institutions. Without trust there is no borrowed money. And without borrowed money, money does not enter the financial system. In this sense, collateral is the “reality” underlying the “imaginary” or “borrowed” component of leverage: the asset is real and can be used to back-stop a proposed deal/ trade that has yet to come to fruition. For finacial firms, at the top of the corporate food chain, sovereign bonds are the senior-most form of collateral. Modern financial theory dictates that sovereign bonds are the most “risk free” assets in the financial system (equity, municipal bond, corporate bonds, and the like are all below sovereign bonds in terms of risk profile). The reason for this is because it is far more likely for a company to go belly up than a country. Because of this, the entire Western financial system has sovereign bonds (US Treasuries, German Bunds, Japanese sovereign bonds, etc.) as the senior most asset pledged as collateral for hundreds of trillions of Dollars worth of trades. Indeed, the global derivatives market is roughly $700 trillion in size. That’s over TEN TIMES the world’s GDP. And sovereign bonds... including even bonds from bankrupt countries such as Spain... are one of, if not the primary collateral underlying all of these trades. How did the world get this way? Back in 2004, the large banks (think Goldman, JP Morgan, etc.) lobbied the SEC to allow them to increase their leverage levels. In very simple terms, the banks wanted to use the same collateral to backstop much larger trades. So whereas before a bank might have $1 worth of collateral for every $10 worth of trades, under the new regulation, banks would be able to have $1 worth of collateral for every $20, $30, even $50 worth of trades. Another component of the ruling was that the banks could abandon “mark to market” valuations for their securities. What this means is that the banks no longer had to value what they owned accurately, or based on what the “market” would pay for them. Instead, the banks could value everything they owned, including their massive derivatives portfolios worth tens of trillions of Dollars using in-house models... or basically make believe. This is getting a bit technical so let’s use a real world example. Imagine if you had $100,000 in savings in the bank. Then imagine that the bank let you use this $100,000 to buy millions and millions of dollars worth of real estate. Then imagine that the bank told you, “we aren’t going to have our analysts independently value your real estate, you can simply tell us what you think it’s worth.” In this set up, you would potentially buy $10 million worth of real estate or more... using just $100,000. But what if your newly purchased real estate drops in value to $5 million? No worries, you could simply tell the bank, “my analysis indicates that the properties are worth $20 million.”  The bank believes you so you continue to buy more properties. This sounds completely ludicrous, but that is precisely the environment that banks operated in post-2004. As a result, today US banks alone are sitting on over $200 TRILLION worth of derivates trades. These are trades that the banks can value at whatever valuation they want. Now, every large bank/ broker dealer knows that the other banks/dealers are overstating the value of their securities. As a result, these derivatives trades, like all financial instruments, require collateral to be pledged to insure that if the trades blow up, the other party has access to some asset to compensate it for the loss. As a result, the ultimate backstop for the $700+ trillion derivatives market today is sovereign bonds. When you realize this, the entire picture for the Central Banks’ actions over the last five years becomes clear: every move has been about accomplishing one of two things: Giving the over-leveraged banks access to cash for immediate funding needs (QE 1, QE 2, QE3 and QE 4 in the US... and LTRO 1, LTRO 2 in the EU.) Giving the banks a chance to swap out low grade collateral (Mortgage Backed Securities and other garbage debts) for cash that they could use to purchase higher grade collateral (QE 1’s MBS component, Operation Twist 2 which lets bank their long-term Treasuries and buy short-term Treasuries, QE 3, etc). All of this is a grand delusion meant to draw attention away from the fact that the financial system is on very, very thin ice due to the fact that there is very little high quality collateral backstopping the $700+ trillion derivatives market. Indeed, if you want further evidence that the financial elites are already preparing for a default from Spain and a collateral crunch, you should consider that the large clearing houses (ICE, CEM and LCH which oversee the trading of the $700+ trillion derivatives market) have ALL begun accepting Gold as collateral. Gold as Collateral Acceptable for Margin Cover Purposes From 28 August 2012 unallocated Gold (Loco London) will be accepted by LCH.Clearnet Limited (LCH.Clearnet) as collateral for margin cover purposes.  This addition to acceptable margin collateral will be subject to the following criteria; Available for members clearing OTC precious metals forwards (LCH EnClear Precious Metals division) or precious metals contracts on the Hong Kong Mercantile Exchange. Acceptable to cover margin requirements for all markets cleared on both House and ‘Segregated’ omnibus Client accounts.             http://www.lchclearnet.com/member_notices/cir.../2012-08-21.asp           CME Clearing Europe to Accept Gold as Collateral on Demand CME Clearing Europe will accept physical gold as collateral, extending the list of assets it’s prepared to receive as regulators globally push more derivatives trading through clearing houses. CME Group Inc. (CME)’s European clearing house, based in London, appointed Deutsche Bank AG (DBK), HSBC Holdings Plc and JPMorgan Chase & Co. as gold depositaries. There will be a 15 percent charge on the market value of gold deposits and a limit of $200 million or 20 percent of the overall initial margin requirement per clearing member based on whichever is lower, Andrew Lamb, chief executive officer of CME Clearing Europe, said today. “We started with a narrow range of government securities and are now extending that,” Lamb said in an interview today. “We recognize there will be a massive demand for collateral as a result of the clearing mandate. This is part of our attempt to maintain the risk management standard and to offer greater flexibility to clearing members and end clients.” http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-17/cme-...-demand-1-.html It is no coincidence that this began only when the possibility of a sovereign default from Greece or Spain began. The large clearinghouses see the writing on the wall (that defaults are coming accompanied by a mad scramble for collateral) and so are moving away from paper (sovereign bonds) into hard money to attempt to stay afloat. The most telling item is that clearinghouses now view Gold as money. Indeed, you can see this fact in other stories indicating that various entites are concerned about having their gold stored “inhouse” if the stuff ever hits the fan. Texas Republican State Representative Giovanni Capriglione authored the bill demanding state owned gold bars be returned to the Lone Star State. The legislation to pull $1 billion in gold reserves from a Federal Reserve vault in New York is supported by Governor Rick Perry... “For us to have our own gold, a lot of the runs on the bank and those types of things, they happen because people are worried that there’s nothing there to back it up.” Governor Perry stated that if Texas owns the gold, then no one else should be able to determine if the state can reclaim possession of the bars of precious metal. Representative Capriglione also noted that Texas is not interested in implementing its own gold standard. According to the Republican’s statements about the gold bars bill, he simply wants to bolster the state’s fiscally secure reputation. The Texas public servant also feels that such a solid financial persona would be beneficial in case an international of national fiscal crisis occurred. The legislation notes the state does not merely want gold certificates from the Federal Reserve, they want the actual gold bars to store inside a planned Texas Bullion Depository. Moving $1 billion in gold bars from New York to Texas would be a huge task, one some are calling impractical. State Representative Capriglione suggested selling the gold currently housed inside the New York vault and then repurchasing the same amount in Texas. http://www.inquisitr.com/600185/texas-wants-g...60ztpexhAROW.99 Take note, Gold is officially money for the most powerful entities in the world. They are not only accepting Gold as collateral but are openly trying to insure that they have their own Gold in safe custody. Gold is money.

"When I first saw this announcement I had thought to myself, 'It's about time the ISDA came out with a ruling to replace the 'SILVER-FIX' with something identical to use in the outstanding silver derivative contracts.' After all, according to Bloomberg there are nearly $5T in silver derivatives traded every year!"

BUT WHAT WAS ANNOUNCED WAS A SHOCKING "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" CARD FOR THE SILVER DERIVATIVE SHORTS AND GUARANTEED TO SEND THE SILVER DERIVATIVE MARKET INTO CHAOS!!

The Silver Manipulation is ending...so brace yourself!

What Happens When Palestinians Protest Hamas

http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/24799/Default.aspx?utm_source=news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=No-sidebar-news-1&utm_content=1312

What Happens When Palestinians Protest Hamas

JUST BECAUSE HAMAS OPERATES OUT OF GAZA DOESN'T MEAN THE PALESTINIANS SUPPORT HAMAS

THE PALESTINIANS ARE BEING USED AND ABUSED BY HAMAS - MADE TO APPEAR AS THOUGH ISRAEL

Wednesday, July 30, 2014 

Ever wonder why so few Palestinians protest the actions of their leaders and the organizations that hold sway over their society? The answer is simple: fear.

This was poignantly and horrifically demonstrated on Monday when a group of some 20 Palestinian residents of Gaza held an impromptu demonstration to protest the rocket attacks emanating from their territory that have resulted in a devastating Israeli military response.
It didn’t take long before Gaza’s Hamas overlords became aware of the protest, and it took even less time before gunmen had rounded up and publicly executed the demonstrators for having the gall to exercise free speech.
Here and there, an unnamed Gazan has told reporters how he or she wishes Israel would defeat Hamas, but such instances are few and far between. Israel’s detractors point to the lack of widespread criticism for Hamas as evidence that most Palestinians support the group as “freedom fighters.” After all, the Palestinian public did vote Hamas into power.

But Monday’s massacre of unarmed protestors (who were no doubt added to the overall Gaza death toll being blamed on Israel) is a harsh reminder that things are not always as they seem in a region where dictators and jihadists are running the show.
