That is, farmers in signing onto "premises ID" - and it is happening involuntarily to them across the country, appears to signing away his land as collateral on the bailout.
He bases this on a copy of a report of the FOURTH WORLD WILDERNESS CONGRESS, which was held in Denver in 1987. "Over 1500 people from sixty countries were told that wilderness lands were to protect the reindeer, the spotted owl and other endangered species. Ninety percent of the group consisted of conservationists, ecologists, government and United Nations bureaucrats. The other ten percent were world banking heavyweights, such as David Rockefeller of Chase Manhattan Bank, London banker Edmund de Rothschild and the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, James Baker, who gave the keynote address."
George W. Hunt, an investment councilor, served as official host and sat in on all the meetings, and wrote the report.
Paraphrasing Mr. Brownfield: Conservationists were told the WILDERNESS CONGRESS was about beating the ozone deterioration and bringing the rain forests back. But in meetings closed to the public, with only bankers in attendance, the topics centered on a "WORLD CONSERVATION BANK" with collateral to be derived from receipt of wilderness properties throughout the world with central bank powers similar to the Federal Reserve and would create currency and loans and engage in international discounting, counter-trade, barter and swap actions. The bank would refinance by swapping debt for assets. A country with a huge national debt would receive money to pay off the debt by swapping the debt for wilderness lands. In the long term, when the countries won't be able to pay off the loans, governments from around the world will give title to their wilderness lands to the bankers. Hunt said that World Bank loans, as they stand now, are not collateralized and they want collateral, so that when they loan-swap debt, they would own the Amazon when countries default. That is, they are going to make their bad loans good by collateralizing them after the fact with land and somebody is going to end up with title to twelve and half billion acres. Brownfield says "The World Conservation Bank is a scheme to monetize land. This will function as a world central bank and out of that bank there will grow a one-world fiat currency.
"This isn't some scheme conjured up during the Bush and Clinton administrations. The United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development was created in 1982. The commission published the "BRUNDTLAND REPORT," setting the stage for unlimited enactments to take over ecology, and environmental and pollution laws throughout the world. The report stated: "We will have a proposal for very harsh, quasi-spiritual ecological laws for MOTHER EARTH. A MOTHER EARTH COMES FIRST mentality will arise throughout the world."
"When James Baker made his keynote speech in 1987, he stated that, "No longer will the World Bank carry this debt unsecured. The only assets we have to collateralize are federal lands and national parks." Baker's definition of federal lands includes Heritage sites, of which there are about 20 in the United States. I say "about" 20, because they are being added on a regular basis. As I write this article, Congress is about to vote on a proposed Rim of the Valley National Park that would include over 500,000 acres of National Forest land and 170,000 parcels of private property including many farms and ranches. At the same time there is a bill before Congress called the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act that would increase the acreage of designated wilderness by 50% in the lower 48 states. *** While our Heritage sites take in quite a large amount of territory, such as Yellowstone National Park and Mesa Verde, the Grand Canyon and the Everglades, other countries have much greater areas. Brazil for example has the Amazon Conservation Complex and Canada has the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks. As I write this story, the list includes 851 properties in 141 countries, comprising over one third of the earth's land mass. Will all this land collateralize the world's debt? Probably not, so along comes NAIS (the National Animal Identification System).
"According to the United States Department of Agriculture, "The first step in implementing a national animal identification system (NAIS) is identifying and registering premises that are associated with the animal agriculture industry. In terms of the NAIS, a premise is any geographically unique location in which agricultural animals are raised, held, or boarded. Under this definition, farms, ranches, feed-yards, auction barns and livestock exhibitions and fair sites are all examples of premises."
"That may be the definition some government bureaucrat will give you, but the word "premises" under the "international Criminal Court Act 2002- Sect 4, states: The word "premises" includes a place and a "conveyance." Why check with the International Criminal Court Act? Because on June 8, 2007, Under-Secretary of Agriculture Bruce Knight, speaking at the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa, is quoted as saying, "We have to live by the same international rules we're expecting other people to do."
"Throughout the entire Draft National Animal Identification System Users Guide, land is referred to as a premises and not property. A "Premises" has no protection under the Constitution of the United States, while property always has the exclusive rights of the owner tied to it. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution protect property rights. "The word "Premise" is a synonym for the word tenement. A definition of the word tenement in law is: Property, such as land, held by one person "leasing" it to another. Webster's New World Dictionary 1960 College Edition defines "Premises" as the part of a deed or "lease" that states its reason, the parties involved and the property in "conveyance." Webster then defines "conveyance" as the transfer of ownership of real property from one person to another. It is quite obvious that the bureaucrats in Washington had a very good reason to use the term "premises" and never mention "PROPERTY."
"While the wilderness areas cover about one third of the earth's surface, they are wilderness areas for a good reason – they were useless or difficult to homestead, farm or use in a constructive manner. Worldwide, the best and more valuable land is occupied by farmers, ranchers and people with the ambition to produce. Wouldn't the World Bankers rather have some productive property besides mountains, deserts and swamps?" Mr. Brownfield ends by saying "I am convinced that the word "premise" will put an encumbrance on your deed. The bankers say they want to monetize land. It's your land and my land they want to monetize."
Which brings us back to an Amish farmer being sued in Wisconsin for not registering his "premises" under NAIS's "premises ID." And it brings us to his friend, Mr. Griepentrog's question:
"Why implement such a program in the first place, with all these inherent violations of our personal freedoms? In the end we are told to follow the money, who will truly benefit from "premises registration." A look into the definition of this word on an international basis may give us insight. The answer lies here http://www.newswithviews.com/brownfield/brownfield59.htm . This will explain where the collateral for our national debt has been coming from to fund the bailouts."
Mr Griepentrog goes on: "As I write this it is Veteran's Day, we are reminded to remember our Veterans. Let us also remember those veterans who with frozen feet wrapped in rags, crossed that dark valley so long ago to gain us our freedom. Most of them were Calvinists, here fleeing religious persecution.
"When they came for the Amish, I did nothing because I was not Amish........"
So, as it stands now, we have a situation in which a tiny group of traditional farmers, the Amish and Mennonite, based on their religious beliefs, are attempting to shield themselves from over weaning USDA power and the loss of the most basic constitutional rights and freedoms.
And, ironically, all farmers and we ourselves are all now dependent on these gentle people and their deeply held religious beliefs to shield us all, too, from another round of astronomical rape (the bailout being the first) by international financiers - the mandatory (but cruelly hidden) collateralization of all US farm lands.
NAIS, my friends, is not about food safety. Farmers can tell you that and have been trying for some time. They know because those pushing it are the same ones who cause the diseases through filthy animal factories, feedlots and slaughter houses, and the same ones who, along with the USDA, have prevented inspections (even as family farmers have asked for them and been refused by the USDA). NAIS is not about food safety, no matter how many food scares they can "cook" up and no matter their fall-back threat of "bio-terrorism."
The USDA is an agency created to help farmers. The penalties the USDA is imposing for not complying are enough to destroy a farmer in a blink.
(i) $50,000 in the case of any individual, except that the civil penalty may not exceed $1000 in the case of an initial violation of this chapter by an individual moving regulated articles not for monetary gain; (ii) $250,000 in the case of any other person for each violation; and (iii) $500,000 for all violations adjudicated in a single proceeding.
Across the country, USDA attacks on NON-corporate farmers using state ag departments continue - raids on horse and buggy Wenger Mennonite in Pennsylvania, click here dairy farms in California,
click here safety" is given as the reason to sue small, clean NON-corporate farming operations, while giant corporate feedlots and animal factories and slaughterhouse are left uninspected and standards are lowered by the USDA.
Plainly, obviously, blatantly, dishonestly, cruelly, the USDA and its agribusiness partners are not seeking "food safety." They aren't even seeking cleanliness or basic inspections.
Farmers know NAIS is not about and has never been about "food safety" or "food security." It is time for the American public to know.
Heavily disguised as "security," NAIS is about theft.
Today is a terrible, terrible day in the history of US farming. Who stands with the Amish and Mennonite? Who stands with our American farmers?
Below you will find Paul-Martin Griepentrog's amicus curiae brief. A true amicus. A true friend.
Met libertarian and conservative farmers and learned an incredible amount about farming and nature and science, as well as about government violations against them and against us all. The other side of the fence is nothing like what we've been (more...)
