Dozens of Indiana residents arrested for harvesting ginseng plants too early

Michigan enacted a total licensing crapfest for ANY plants after the citizens voted in medical Marijuana.

Now if you want to give your neighbors hostas out of your yard, you technically need to be licensed, tested and registered with the state.

Add this to the USDA’s law that mandates home gardeners be licensed and regulated to give neighbors food.

And the raw milk bans, the “feral” pork bans, the bullshit here, there and everywhere, it becomes apparent to anyone aware:

They are intentionally setting us up to die of disease or starve to death. Even when natural remedies and food are growing a mere inches outside your door, in your own yard.

And still “it’s for the children.”

FUBAR and doomed. Just so fubar and so doomed.

@Spin, +100,

spot on

And people are so lazy, have so little want/need to grow their own food/herbs, they feel NO fear at these raids and arrests.

They have absolutely NO idea that the reason Russian peasants survived both communism, AND the subsequent collapse, was that they in large part fed themselves. I just read an article that pointed out it continues today.

Unlike the USSA the former USSR does NOT arrest people that grow their own food, or sell raw milk, or treat their child with herbs and prayer instead of radiation and horror. They may have a ton of problems, but the legal unimpeded ability to feed their own families and make life decisions for them trumps a bunch of other issues in my book.

If our modern transportation and megacorp & free fiat controlled world even starts to experience hiccups, people could/will starve to death or die from the sudden stopping of meds.

That’s it, time truly feels like it is growing short and on my list is making a movable indoor greenhouse that I can grow food in. Anything is better than relying on these evil bastards to take care of me and mine.

“would people in a free society be imprisoned for merely possessing a naturally-occurring plant?”

An amusing notion, so is Cannabis an engineered or naturally occurring plant (to mention just one out of hundreds)?
As much as you all want to blame “big brother” for encroaching on your “rights”, this is simply an act designed to ensure sustainable harvesting practice, like the rest of the world has.
Just look at the global fish situation to see why.

I don’t care what they say. They can’t stop me from going out and munching on what’s free along the nature trails, the empty lots, sidewalks, and in the park. Just this evening, I picked fresh red Spicebush berries. They’re tasty! They’ll be dried, crushed, and used as a spice later this winter. I’m eagerly awaiting the acorns that are all over around here and the black walnuts.

@IS – don’t put too much credence in snopes…

“Snopes.com is a Scam

For the past few years http://www.snopes.com has positioned itself, or others have labeled it, as the ‘tell all final word’ on any comment, claim and email. But for several years people tried to find out who exactly was behind snopes.com. Only recently did Wikipedia get to the bottom of it – kinda makes you wonder what they were hiding. Well, finally we know. It is run by a husband and wife team – that’s right, no big office of investigators and researchers, no team of lawyers. It’s just a mom-and-pop operation that began as a hobby.

David and Barbara Mikkelson in the San Fernando Valley of California started the Website about 13 years ago – and they have no formal background or experience in investigative research. After a few years it gained popularity believing it to be unbiased and neutral, but over the past couple of years people started asking questions who was behind it and did they have a selfish motivation? The reason for the questions – or skepticims – is a result of snopes.com claiming to have

the bottom line facts to certain questions or issue when in fact they have been proven wrong. Also, there were criticisms the Mikkelsons were not really investigating and getting to the ‘true’ bottom of various issues. I can personally vouch for that complaint.

A few months ago, when my State Farm agent Bud Gregg in Mandeville hoisted a political sign referencing Barack Obama and made a big splash across the internet, ‘supposedly’ the Mikkelson’s claim to have researched this issue before posting their findings on snopes.com. In their statement they claimed the corporate office of State Farm pressured Gregg into taking down the sign, when in fact nothing of the sort ‘ever’ took place.

I personally contacted David Mikkelson (and he replied back to me) thinking he would want to get to the bottom of this and I gave him Bud Gregg’s contact phone numbers – and Bud was going to give him phone numbers to the big exec’s at State Farm in Illinois who would have been willing to speak with him about it. He never called Bud. In fact, I learned from Bud Gregg no one from snopes.com ever contacted anyone with State Farm. Yet, snopes.com issued a statement as the ‘final factual word’ on the issue as if they did all their homework and got to the bottom of things – not!

Then it has been learned the Mikkelson’s are jewish – very Democratic (party) and extremely liberal. As we all now know from this presidential election, liberals have a purpose agenda to discredit anything that appears to be conservative. There has been much criticism lately over the internet with people pointing out the Mikkelson’s liberalism revealing itself in their website findings.. Gee, what a shock?”
