Biden's USDA now wants to track your meat on, you guessed it, "public health" grounds

It’s not a conspiracy theory if they’re admitting it out in the open.
Smart phones. Teslas.
If you feel like you’re being watched, that Alexa in your kitchen will be happy to tell you you’re wrong after she adds “FBI” to your shopping list.
Well, it’s time to add another aspect of your life to our nanny cam surveillance state.
The beef.
Yeah, that’s right.
The USDA, an organization full of unelected bureaucrats without constitutional authority to create laws, has finalized a rule that requires cattle and bison be ear-tagged with an RFID chip when crossing state lines. I guess the Native Americans won’t want to use every part of THIS buffalo.
The USDA is justifying the mandate on public health grounds because you can justify just about anything on public health grounds since Covid-19. The move is an attempt to track potential diseases such as mad cow disease and hoof-and-mouth disease. It’s interesting how the United States hasn’t had a case of hoof-and-mouth disease since 1929. And there have only been seven cases of mad cow disease in the United States since 2003.
So, why the sudden interest in tracking animals who don’t seem to be at risk for such things?
Could it be…the open border policy?
That’s right. Former Vice President Joe Biden’s lack of enforcement at the border isn’t just killing people, it could also spell disaster for the food supply. Which also kills people.
If hoof-and-mouth disease IS detected in the US, it puts a 72 hour hold on all cattle movement which is catastrophic for the beef industry.
The RFID tags are twice as expensive as metal tags, require an investment in scanners and software, quickly becoming cost-prohibitive to small farms. Farmers will likely also have to tag their animals with physical tags, as well, to be able to identify them from a distance. Ken Fox, a South Dakota farmer and chair of R-CALIF USA’s Animal Identification Committee told Wisconsin State Farmer that 50 percent of a herd will lose their RFID tags within five years.
Expensive, prohibitive, ineffective and ultimately useless? Sounds like a government operation to me.
But don’t worry. If our porous borders lead to a decimating cattle disease that makes it impossible for you to find and/or afford beef, there are always alternatives.
Or crickets.
Thanks, Klaus Schwab!
