Jun 2, 2025

Catherine Austin Fitts warns that the most invasive tyranny in history is arriving through your dinner plate and digital wallet. In a wide-ranging interview with The Beef Initiative’s Breeauna Sagdal, Fitts links land grabs, food centralization, and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) as coordinated tools of control. Her solution? Build real wealth by shaking your rancher’s hand and financing food freedom from the ground up.

The Cancer Gag Laws: How Bayer is Rewriting State Laws to Silence Farmers

Jun 2, 2025

Bayer is quietly rewriting state laws to shield itself from lawsuits, even when its products cause cancer. Backed by lobbyists, bills like Georgia’s SB 144 redefine “harm” to protect corporations over farmers and families. This is liability capture—where profit trumps accountability, and the courtroom door slams shut.

USDA Cuts DEI & Local Food Procurement Programs—A Win for Independent Producers?

Jun 1, 2025

The USDA’s 2025 budget cuts eliminated two billion-dollar food programs that often funneled public dollars to corporate suppliers posing as “local.” Advocates for real food sovereignty welcomed the shift, calling it a necessary correction. When “local” gets hijacked by Big Food, the solution isn’t more funding—it’s more transparency.

USDA’s EID Mandate Is a Corporate Coup Masquerading as Biosecurity

Jun 1, 2025

The USDA’s new rule forces all U.S. cattle producers to adopt costly electronic ID tags, even though its own data shows current systems trace disease faster than cattle can be loaded on a truck. This mandate, justified under the guise of export efficiency, benefits multinational packers and eartag manufacturers—not American ranchers. It’s a federal power grab that sacrifices sovereignty and imposes hidden taxes on the few remaining stewards of our domestic beef supply.

Labeled Lies, Hidden Injections: The Quiet Corruption of America’s Meat Supply

May 31, 2025

Imported beef still masquerades as “Product of USA,” pink slime remains unlabeled, and carbon monoxide keeps rotting meat looking fresh. Behind the barcode, mRNA vaccine technology is already in use in commercial pork—with research accelerating in cattle, poultry, and even farmed fish—yet no consumer disclosure is required. While regulators claim there’s no risk, the truth is simpler: you’re eating in the dark.

Where’s the Beef From? D.C. Might Finally Tell You

May 30, 2025

A new bipartisan bill aims to reinstate Mandatory Country-of-Origin Labeling (COOL) for beef, forcing grocery stores to disclose where cattle were born, raised, and slaughtered. Since COOL was repealed in 2015, foreign beef has routinely been labeled “Product of USA” despite being imported—misleading consumers and undercutting American ranchers. The legislation marks a pivotal fight between food transparency and global meatpackers.

JBS Hits Wall Street: How the World’s Most Corrupt Meatpacker Bought Its Way Onto the NYSE

May 29, 2025

Brazilian meat giant JBS, long plagued by corruption scandals and deforestation ties, has been approved to list on the New York Stock Exchange. With nearly 85% voting control retained by its founding family, the IPO grants JBS unprecedented access to U.S. capital while tightening its grip on the global protein supply. Critics warn the move rewards corporate crime and accelerates consolidation across American agriculture.

The Beef Shortage Was an Inside Job: How Global Imports, Policy Failures, and Monopoly Power Gutted the American Herd

May 13, 2025

The so-called beef shortage isn’t just fallout from drought and inflation—it’s the endgame of decades-long corporate sabotage. Independent American ranchers were systematically squeezed out by foreign imports, packer monopolies, and the repeal of truth-in-labeling laws like COOL. The result: a gutted cattle industry, rising consumer prices, and a nation increasingly dependent on foreign protein—all by design.

Open Borders Breached Darien Gap Biological Barrier — Now, we’re on the verge of being Screwwormed, New World style…

May 12, 2025

A flesh-eating parasite known as New World Screwworm (NWS) has breached the long-standing biological barrier at the Darién Gap and is now rapidly advancing through Mexico, prompting an emergency livestock embargo along the U.S. southern border. The parasite, which infests wounds and mucous membranes with larvae that bore into living flesh, poses a grave threat to both public health and America’s already fragile cattle supply. USDA officials warn the outbreak could cripple domestic livestock production if not contained, calling it a national security crisis.
