Three giant corporate conglomerates control more than two thirds of the total meat and poultry protein supply of the United States. All appear to have been infected by COVID19.

– “…This unhealthy degree of concentration was not always so. It began as a strategic project of Nelson Rockefeller and the Rockefeller Foundation after World War II. The idea was to create a corporate strictly-for-profit vertical integration and cartelization of the food chain as John D. Rockefeller had done with Standard Oil and petroleum. Rockefeller money funded two Harvard Business School professors. John H. Davis, former Assistant Agriculture Secretary under Eisenhower, and Ray Goldberg, both at Harvard Business School got financing from Rockefellers to develop what they named “agribusiness”
The Agribusiness Model Is Failing – By F. William Engdahl
Over the past decades the organization of the entire world food supply from farm to consumers has been reorganized into a globalized distribution known as agribusiness. With most of the world in lockdown over the fears of spread of the coronavirus disease, COVID-19, that global food supply chain…

The Most Revolutionary Act 
Perhaps the most important risk from relying upon the modern agribusiness model for one’s daily sustenance is the energy input required, measured in BTU’s, is far greater than the output generated, measured in calories. This flaw will result in widespread starvation after central bank controlled, debt based financial systems collapse under their own weight one day.

The whole system of weights and measures is a study in itself. I have spent many years trying to make sense of the different systems used. In the US, the system is addressed in the Constitution (Article I, Section 8, which, among other things, grants Congress the authority “To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.” This section is well worth reading, because it shows how the federal government has laid claim to all “economic narrows” in the US throughout its history.)

What rule of law you are referring to and whom does it apply, kathari todaneotto, because The Act Of 1871 rendered the Constitution of These United States Of America unsupported, and The USA Patriot Act of 2001 suspended all rights of corporate citizens of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

Good point, too, about the Patriot Act, Bone Fish.

I guess it all reminds me what a great pity it is the US government doesn’t follow its own constitution – or at least only if it feels like doing so.

The way I read it–I’m not a lawyer but have read it several times, from a citizen point of view–the Constitution gave the federal government almost unlimited power over taxpayers, state, and local governments. It did this by taking control of what Matthew Josephson in “The Robber Barons,” called “economic narrows” like roads, highways, waterways, art and literature, patents, the postal service, military, coastlines, money, commerce, including imports and exports and trade between states, and on and on. With the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, newly elected Woodrow Wilson and a complicit Congress delegated the government’s responsibility for the monetary system to private bankers and created a debt-backed economy with perpetual interest on federal debt financed by the new income tax. The Fed creates money out of thin air in response to Congressional Appropriations. That money is backed by nothing except federal promises to pay, which is why national debt is so out of control. Both Dims and Pubs support these trillions of dollars in new money and new spending for this coronavirus panic-demic.
The original Constitution didn’t address health care, but modern-day government expanders are trying to take control of that, too.
The precedent for this was set by George Washington and his Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton was a lawyer, banker, British citizen, and mastermind in the area of finance. He was behind the first central bank, the founding of the US stock market, and the Whiskey tax to pay interest on federal debt from the Revolutionary War (which was essentially financed by foreign investors).
It seems ironic that Hamilton, the only New York delegate to sign the Constitution, set the precedent for New York to control the nation’s direction. It seems as though that influence still lingers.

Katherine, I was really surprised to find that local governments have even less power in New Zealand, which has no written constitution, than they do in the US. Recently I was very surprised to learn that our local council has no power to set building code standards, for example to require all new buildings have solar panels, rainwater tanks and gray water systems to be permitted. These standards must be set by Parliament, though they are enforced by councils. I suspect it’s the same in the UK.
