A lengthy but good read... Tuesday, 09 February 2016 Victims of the Federal Bootprint Written by William F. Jasper America’s farmers and ranchers, the people who grow the food that magically appears on our grocery store shelves, are under siege. Like swarms of locusts, federal regulators from the EPA, BLM, USFS, etc. are driving these hardworking producers who feed America into the ground. A relentless bombardment of threats, fines, regulatory takings, lawsuits, and other means of perpetual harassment is killing what remains of our family-owned farms. It is not only America’s food supply that is imperiled by this onslaught; equally important (if not more so) is the threat that these rogue federal regulators pose to justice, to the rule of law, to the very idea of limited government, and to the freedom of each and every one of us. The profiles of the victims provided here represent only a tiny sample of the thousands of our fellow citizens who have heroically fought, or are currently fighting, against a federal leviathan that is trampling their rights and taking their property.

All part of the plan. Limit the food supply so that the government can control how much everyone eats. Saving the environment will be the excuse.
Agenda 21 in full execution right before our very eyes. Here in Michigan they have killed off all but pink skinned pigs using the invasive species act. Water rights are under attack and even gardens. shameful.
@Garand69 "However, rather than backing off and admitting they blundered, the Army Corps is doubling down; they’ve countersued Duarte and are threatening huge fines and penalties." This is where the buggers get you because it costs the government nothing to carry on court cases - I mean - taxpayers pay for it! Unlike that farmer Duarte. And, more and more we find these Federal agencies exceeding their authority and let's face it - they are making laws. The last time I research it there were more than 800 Federal agencies on the books but I bet there is even more now... So much for limited government. So much for a Legislative Branch whose existence is to make laws... It's very difficult to read as makes me so angry...double standards, we know best, greater than thou... Excellent article, Thanks!
