One farmer, one file, one surveillance contract: Palantir and USDA join forces.
The USDA is calling it modernization. What it actually is: a sole-source contract handing one intelligence-adjacent private company permanent control over the digital backbone of every farmer's federal relationship — with no competitive bid, no exit ramp, and a full rollout date of 2028.

Anonymous Voice Vote to Shield Bayer-Monsanto—And Dump Toxic Sludge on America’s Farms

"First They Hacked Our Farms. Now They’re Writing Our Laws": Section 453, Monsanto-China, and the Silent Coup Over U.S. Agriculture
Chinese operatives spent over a decade stealing U.S. crop genetics, rice proteins, even Monsanto's software.

“They Buried the Blueprint”: USDA’s 1998 Report Warned Us—Then Washington Sold Us Out
In 1998, the USDA published a report that warned America’s food system was on the brink of corporate capture.

What began as a health crisis has become a political realignment—from the ground up.
The Cancer Gag Laws: How Bayer is Rewriting State Laws to Silence Farmers
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’s EID Mandate Is a Corporate Coup Masquerading as Biosecurity
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
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.
