Government Confiscates food!?!
By: James Burge
December 19th, 2008
Anyone doubting that martial law is already in the works south of the border need only read this article.
It talks about John and Jacqueline Stowers who run an organic food cooperative, something that we should all be looking to set up in our neighborhoods. The Ohio Department of Agriculture and the Lorain County Health Department raided their home and confiscated the families food supply, cell phones and computers.
“The use of these police state tactics on a peaceful family is simply unacceptable,” Buckeye Institute President David Hansen said. “Officers rushed into the Stowers’ home with guns drawn and held the family – including ten young children – captive for six hours. This outrageous case of bureaucratic overreach must be addressed.”
Outrageous is right! They confiscated FOOD, can you believe that? The idea of cell phones and computers being confiscated is somewhat routine in cases of fraud or other overt criminal activity, but this family has, as far as anyone can tell, done absolutely nothing wrong. According to the video below they also confiscated about a years worth of their personal meat supply some of which was from animals they raised themselves.
They also confiscated the computer that the family uses to home school their children and that one daughter uses to communicate with her husband who is serving in Iraq. The family was traumatized by the police raid and the fact that they failed to identify themselves as law enforcement officials. What sort of resistance did they expect to receive from a woman and 10 kids.
Update: Just came across this very informative podcast from the Buckeye Institure.org

Canada in Crisis
By: Alicia
December 5th, 2008
The vote of non-confidence and the subsequent coalition of the NDP andLiberal parties has set off a highly charged political environment in Canada. The fact that the Prime Minister of this country cannot propose a budget that is supported by the house suggests the rhetoric that is in the air: that our country is in a crisis of sorts. This situation is new territory, something uncertain and unfamiliar, and this is an area of our political system that is governed by convention. I believe that a lack of information and understanding of the process is one of our greatest problems.
I attended a conference put on by the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa on Dec 4, I recorded much of it and I encourage you to have a listen. There were six professors that gave non-partisan information about this crisis and its various aspects in English and French. Please be encouraged to pass this information along since the media has deprived Canadians of helpful information about what is going on and why.
The moderator is professor Joanne St. Louis is done by the last two files include the question period and the final remarks were done by Linda Collins. My apologies, some of the content in Part 7 around the 50 second mark are missing due to technical challenges; Professor St. Louis was commenting on how issues of racism and sexism have been brought up surrounding the Governor General.
