Dr. Meryl <a href=\"https:\/\/doortofreedom.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nass<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/live.childrenshealthdefense.org\/chd-tv\/shows\/good-morning-chd\/corporatism-family-farms-under-attack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interviewed<\/a> two farmers, Jim Mundorf and Shad Sullivan, who explained the issues affecting family farms that produce beef and other meat products. However, more concerning is the corporate takeover of those farms and other meat producing industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over decades, family farms have been pushed out of diverse production into a centralized corporate control over agriculture. Environmental regulations have played a role in this change, at a huge cost to farmers. The government played another role by allowing global corporations to merge. As explained in the video, corporations have been taking over agriculture and putting local meat packing plants out of business, causing ranchers to go <a href=\"https:\/\/farmpolicynews.illinois.edu\/2026\/05\/lawmakers-target-meatpacker-consolidation-amid-high-prices\/\">broke<\/a>.&nbsp;Appallingly, anti-trust <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/advice-guidance\/competition-guidance\/guide-antitrust-laws\/antitrust-laws\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">laws<\/a> that would have prevented this have been ignored by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One corporation mentioned is <a href=\"https:\/\/portside.org\/video\/2024-06-28\/how-tyson-captured-all-pork-you-eat-and-made-billions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tyson<\/a>, a World Economic Forum (WEF) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/organizations\/tyson-foods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">partner<\/a>, which has one of the worst records for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodresearchlab.com\/insights\/recall\/tyson-foods-ready-to-eat-chicken-listeria-recall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poultry<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/most-contaminated-poultry-plants-in-america-11703173\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contamination<\/a>. Cargill, another WEF <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/organizations\/cargill-inc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">partner<\/a>, has also had issues with <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/GMA\/Food\/16k-pounds-ground-beef-sold-walmart-recalled-potential\/story?id=109866267\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contamination<\/a>. Corporate meatpackers, of which a couple are <a href=\"https:\/\/sentientmedia.org\/smithfield-foods-owned-by-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">foreign<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/show\/whos-behind-chinese-takeover-worlds-biggest-pork-producer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">owned<\/a>, include WEF partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/organizations\/grupo-jbs-friboi-sa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JBS<\/a>, which has majority ownership of Pilgrim\u2019s Pride, and Cargill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Corporations have taken over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwaterwatch.org\/2022\/05\/05\/food-monopolies-hog-factory-farms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hog<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/meatcheftools.com\/who-owns-most-chicken-farms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poultry<\/a> sectors and are now aiming for the beef industry. Because competition has been eliminated, farmers are held hostage to corporate dictates. These factory \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/modernfarmer.com\/2024\/08\/factory-farms-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">farms<\/a>\u201c are not conducive to a healthy environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another regulation costing farmers is the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) meat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fsis.usda.gov\/inspection\/inspection-programs\/inspection-meat-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inspection<\/a>&nbsp;program while meat brought in from foreign countries does not have to be inspected as often. Congress has failed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paul.senate.gov\/news-sens-paul-king-introduce-legislation-support-local-meat-processing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pass<\/a> the Prime <a href=\"https:\/\/ij.org\/initiatives\/food-freedom\/prime-act\/frequently-asked-questions-about-the-prime-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Act<\/a> which would eliminate this injustice to U.S. farmers, but has now been <a href=\"https:\/\/massie.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=395821\">integrated<\/a> into the Farm bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Mundorf and Sullivan note, RFID <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cattlemax.com\/cattle-tags-eid-readers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tags<\/a> are nothing more than a tracking mechanism to fulfill the World Health Organization (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/health-topics\/one-health#tab=tab_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WHO<\/a>) One Health <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/one-health\/about\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">agenda<\/a>, which the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usda.gov\/farming-and-ranching\/animal-science\/one-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USDA<\/a>&nbsp;supports. This agenda allegedly links disease between humans, animals, and the environment. What One Health really does is add more burdensome costs to farmers, increase surveillance, and boost corporate profits for testing and monitoring. It is just one huge scam in which our government participates, and supports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These farmers are astute in their recognition that the whole industry is being used for data collection, and that \u201csustainability\u201d is nothing more than production and consumption control, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/patrick-wood-technocracy-the-hard-road-to-world-order-2018-libgen.li\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">technocracy<\/a>. And they understand the problem falls under the guise of One Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a WEF dream to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/stories\/2021\/01\/the-end-of-meat-house-on-fire-podcast-explores-the-future-of-alternative-protein\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eliminate<\/a> meat from diets for the sake of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and \u201czoonotic diseases\u201d. What better way to do this than crush American farmers and poison the meat that comes from its corporate partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Nass explores this agricultural monopoly further in an interview with Joe Maxwell starting at the 32:55\u201d mark in this <a href=\"https:\/\/live.childrenshealthdefense.org\/chd-tv\/shows\/good-morning-chd\/regaining-medical-sanity-in-insane-ny--farmers--the-one-big-beautiful-bill\/?utm_source=cc&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=chdtv&amp;utm_id=20250903\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a>. As Maxwell explains, it was our federal government that destroyed family farming. He also points out how the \u201cbig beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/obbb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bill<\/a>\u201c consolidates this monopoly even further with more damage to the small farmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe the government&#8217;s failure to enforce anti-trust <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/advice-guidance\/competition-guidance\/guide-antitrust-laws\/antitrust-laws\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">laws<\/a> should be referred to the Department of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Justice<\/a>. Contacting representatives to support the Prime Act passage would be another action that would put control over the industry back into family farms and state hands. It is another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/one-health\/about\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reason<\/a>&nbsp;the Centers for Disease Control needs to be <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/healthcare\/5475006-kennedy-addresses-cdc-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reformed<\/a>. Maybe even President Trump needs to be told that his movement is not pleased with such a devastating blow to farmers with his big beautiful bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As long as corporations are in control of food production, no one is safe. Buying food from local producers is the only safe food source. And, as one needs to be reminded, technocracy is control over all production and consumption, and as long as they are in control over food, we are all at risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/inlandnwreport.com\/2025\/08\/25\/this-is-what-technocracy-actually-looks-like\/\">harm<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As if the cost of food wasn&#8217;t bad enough, beef is almost out of reach.
