FDA Now Harassing the Amish

FDA Invades Non-Commercial Amish Farm in PA

(If the government gets control of small farms through gestapo tactics it will control Americans by deciding when to let us grow and eat food. Gestapo FDA has no business investigating a farm that does not sell to the public. It is government harrasment and a dry run test of what is to come.) Story Reports

FDA Invades Non-Commercial Amish Farm in PA

By Deborah Stockton

Kinzers, PA – At 9:40 a.m. Thursday, February 4, only a few miles from the scene of the Nickel Mines Amish massacre of 2006, another drama against the Amish began as agents of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) came onto the property of Amish farmer Dan Allgyer, without permission, claiming to be conducting an investigation.

Agents Joshua Schafer and Deborah Haney, from the Delaware FDA office, drove past Allgyer’s “No Trespassing” signs and up his driveway almost to his barn, where Allgyer happened to be outside. Allgyer approached the car, the agents got out and Allgyer asked them why they were there. They produced a piece of paper, asked Allgyer if he was Dan Allgyer, which Allgyer confirmed, asked him his middle initial and phone number, entered the information on the paper, told Allgyer they were there to do an inspection and started reading the paper to him, saying it gave them jurisdiction to be there.

The agents – Schafer did most of the talking – said they had a right to be there because “you produce food for human consumption.” Dan asked why they believed that and they said, “Well, you have cows. You cannot be consuming all the milk you produce.” They further stated, “If you get a milk truck in to move all this milk you sell milk to the public, therefore we have jurisdiction.”

Dan said, “This is a private farm, I do not sell anything to the public.”

As they continued to harass him about doing an inspection, Allgyer said, “You can sit in your car. I will call my lawyer.”

The agents remained standing.

Allgyer called his attorney who advised him to have the agents call him. When Allgyer told them to call his attorney Schafer replied, “You are the owner and you have to speak for yourself.”

They pressed him to talk and Schafer asked, “Are you refusing us an investigation? Allgyer replied, “That’s not what I’m saying.”

They kept repeating, “Are you refusing an investigation?”

Allgyer kept saying, “Call this guy” – meaning his attorney.

Allgyer said they must have asked him six times.


One of them said, “Even if you do not say so, you are still refusing an investigation.”

Eventually Schafer said, “If you refuse an investigation will you answer some questions?”

Allgyer said, “I’d rather not.”

When the agents continued to push him Dan said, “Is that a question?

Sheepishly, they said. ‘Yes.”

Allgyer said, “What did I say about questions?’

They replied, “Well we’re going to write this up as a refusal to have an investigation and give it to our higher officials.”

Dan felt they were threatening him at this point.

After that, they got in their car, drove out the driveway and parked on the neighbor’s property watching Allgyer.

A visitor, Ivan, who had been on the farm, though not part of the conversation, left in his truck soon after, and the FDA agents proceeded to follow him in their car, even when he stopped at a convenience store to use the facilities. After forty or fifty miles, Ivan called 911 and told the police he was being followed.

The state police – in two cruisers – pulled the agents over. Ivan pulled over as well.

Ivan said the police told him that the agents explained they were FDA agents and they had the right to follow him because they were conducting an investigation on the farm he left. They thought he had product and they wanted samples of the product.

Ivan responded by opening the back of the truck and revealing it was empty. The agents photographed the inside of the empty truck and gave Ivan a paper, claiming they had a right to inspect his truck. He told them they were harassing him. The state trooper said they had a right to follow and pull him over but they were in an unmarked car so Ivan would not have had to pull over.

As with Allgyer, the agents asked Ivan some information which they wrote on the paper they produced, then handed it to him.

Ivan asked them, “Why are you writing up a paper on me when you have no cause?”

They said, “We have a cause, because you left the farm.”

They claimed he had a load off the farm and they wanted samples.

Ivan said, “I didn’t know who you were.”

An agent replied, “You saw us at the farm.”

Ivan said. “That doesn’t make any difference, I didn’t know who you were.”

Ivan pointed out that he was at the farm but did not hear what they said. He was twenty feet or more away from them and was not involved in their conversation.

Ivan said the police told him they would record that the agents had been following him.

A spokeswoman for the FDA (reached at the phone number on the paper the FDA agents gave to Allgyer) said the FDA has no comment at this time because it is an ongoing investigation.

Dan Allgyer will meet with his county sheriff in the near future to apprise him of this incident.

Jews at FDA calling Cheerios a drug. Fucking assholes!

READ MY POSTS ABOUT THOSE ASSHOLES AT MONSANTO AND THE FDA AFTER YOU READ THIS.

The Food and Drug Administration has told General Mills that if the company is going to tout its iconic cereal Cheerios as “proven to lower cholesterol,” it should be forced to gain approval of Cheerios as a drug, according to this FDA “warning letter” to General Mills CEO Ken Powell dated May 5.

And if it doesn’t, the FDA threatens to seize the cereal.

An FDA review of Cheerios’ labeling “found serious violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act” and suggests Cheerios could be considered an “unapproved new drug,” the warning letter says.

Here’s an excerpt from the warning letter:

Based on claims made on your product’s label, we have determined that your Cheerios Toasted Whole Grain Oat Cereal is promoted for conditions that cause it to be a drug because the product is intended for use in the prevention, mitigation, and treatment of disease. … These claims indicate that Cheerios is intended for use in lowering cholesterol … . Additionally, the claims indicate that Cheerios is intended for use in the treatment, mitigation, and prevention of coronary heart disease through, lowering total and “bad” (LDL) cholesterol.

… Failure to promptly correct the violations specified above may result in enforcement action without further notice. Enforcement action may include seizure of violative products and/or injunction against the manufacturers and distributors of violative products.

General Mills responded to the FDA letter with an online statement that noted its heart-health claim has been approved by the FDA for more than a decade. Here’s the cereal-maker’s statement:

Cheerios’ soluble fiber heart health claim has been FDA-approved for 12 years, and Cheerios’ “lower your cholesterol 4% in 6 weeks” message has been featured on the box for more than 2 years. The science is not in question. The scientific body of evidence supporting the heart health claim was the basis for FDA’s approval of the heart health claim, and the clinical study supporting Cheerios’ cholesterol-lowering benefit is very strong. The FDA is interested in how the Cheerios cholesterol-lowering information is presented on the Cheerios package and website. We look forward to discussing this with FDA and to reaching a resolution.

There are serious issues involved here, to be sure, but can you envision federal agents raiding a Cheerios plant and seizing boxes of cereal?

Monsantos Sock Puppet Denies All HR 875 Bill

http://blog.monsantoblog.com/

Monsantos blogger Brad Mitchell is busy as a little beaver attempting to deny all allegations of Maonsantpos Genetic developement and their take over of food banks, privately-owned animals and crops. Brad is a Director of Public Affairs at Monsanto, meaning he talkes sh*t and lies to your face. Pardon me, Mr. Mitchell, if I didn't fall off the home-grown cabbage truck yestedrday!
To put it bluntly, you're full of sh*t! You're a liar, a thief, a back-stabbing, two-faced, treasonous traitor to Americans everywhere.
Some of his bullsh*t includes : "It was no doubt written in response to public concerns with relatively recent incidents with peanut butter, ground beef, spinach, etc...". Riiiiight! The real reason we had tainted peanut butter, lettuce and spinach was because the filthy, turd world illegal Mexiacns were sh*tting and p*ssing all ove the food in the fields! NOT because we have non-genetic freak veggies in our fields. DUH! You have a college degreee yet you Commie bastards can't figure THAT out yet?
http://www.opednews.com/articles/HR-875--Monsanto-s-Dream-by-Brad-Mitchell-090320-355.html has his response to our concerns. He would have us think that Monsanto is out for OUR health and food safety when in reality, they wish to monopolize all of our food crops and feed us mutated foods that are NOT safe to eat!
My solution? Grow all your own food and if Monsanto representatives come onto your property, shoot them in the face! Send a message that we're NOT going to eat their kosher genetically altered foods and we're NOT going to let them tax us for every animal we choose to raise that's hormone and pesticide free!
Write to YOUR congress critter and tell them not to support HR 875!
