   Let James know about this at his Twitter account – @JBruggers and ask him why he’s too lazy to do research on the topics he writes about.

   http://www.weather.com/weather/wxclimatology/daily/27401?climoMonth=6

   For the month of June in Greensboro, North Carolina 33% of the record daily HIGH temps were recorded between 1940 and 2014, a time span of 74 years (less 30 days) while 67% of the all time daily LOW June temperatures were recorded in this same period.

   Meanwhile in Greensboro, North Carolina 67% of the all time daily HIGH June temperatures (including the all time record daily high of 104f) were recorded between 1894 and 1939. This is only 55 years. Furthermore, only 33% of the record June LOW temperatures were recorded in this same 55 year time span. Now I ask you, is this evidence of global cooling, or is it evidence of global warming? Personally I think that it is evidence that Big Al and his Hockey Stick don’t have a clue about the weather.

   Never mind that on July 27th 1914 while things were heating up in Europe, Greensboro, North Carolina tied their all time record daily high temperature of 104F while only 4 days later on the 31st of July 1914 Greensboro recorded their third coldest all time July temperature with a chilly 53F. “Oh what a relief that must have been.”

   It really has nothing to do with the climate or weather other than the manufacturing of a crisis in order to somehow justify the growth of power in the central government. Where this is all going is that the EPA will become to economic freedom what ObamaCare is to healthcare. Total control of everything by the Federal Government with politicians picking the winners and losers in the economy and ultimately everything having to do with our daily lives is what this BS is all about.

     Wait until this kicks-in. As it says at http://www.foodsafety.gov/news/fsma.html
     Food Safety Modernization Act: Putting the Focus on Prevention

     “…We will, in accordance with the law, establish science-based standards for the safe production and harvesting of fruits and vegetables to minimize the risk of serious illnesses or death, and we will set standards for the safe transportation of food.

     …with the signing of the law, FDA will for the first time have a congressional mandate for risk-based inspection of food processing facilities. For example, all high-risk domestic facilities must be inspected within five years of enactment and no less than every three years thereafter.

     and to ensure all the money gets spent and then some…

     …Very importantly, the FSMA calls for the strengthening of existing collaboration among all food safety agencies whether they are Federal, state, local, territorial, tribal, or foreign. Among other provisions, the legislation directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to improve training of state, local, territorial and tribal food safety officials and authorizes grants for training, conducting inspections, building capacity of labs and food safety programs, and other food safety activities. Building and leveraging the capacity of these food safety partners is how we can have a well-integrated, national food safety system that is as effective and efficient as it can be.

     Guess who’ll be paying…
     Do you like the taste of those homemade pies and candy from the mom & pop run store, and as for kid making lemonade or brownies forget it. But your food up till now has been so unsafe, you just know these measures will reduce all the food scares, right?

     These measures should improve the job prospects for even more bureaucrats, eh?

     —Tasks complete –
     Communications (NSA) – check.
     Homeland/Terrorism – check.

       “…. you just know these measures will reduce all the food scares, right?”
       >>>>>>>>>>>>>
       ERRRrrr, I took the CDC food borne disease data and plotted the three years before the WTO Agreement on Agriculture and the change from the old EVIDENCED BASED food safety system to HACCP and then plotted the three years after. The illness rate DOUBLED!!!

       How ever the MSM propaganda machine went to work and twisted the facts so FARMERS and not the corporations were blamed. (You get e-coli from feces smeared meat due to bad butchering practices and not from the farm.)

       Meanwhile our food is now “tested” by the same corporations that instituted those bad practices (line speed increased) HACCP Disconnect From Public Health Concerns That works real well BTW. A local plant whose QC Biologist I know commented they were shipping out product KNOWINGLY infected with Listeria monocytogenes. The corn crop that year was laced with the bacteria and I had several goats die from it. (Necropsy reports from Rollins Laboratory)

         That piece about closing the labs is truly worrying.
         Along with the restraint that will apply to locally sourced small scale producers, the future of safe local food suppliers looks grim.

       Notice how all this info was swept under the rug.
       This is the new international HACCP regs in action. yet farmers got the blame not corporations.

       The Washington Post reported on Monday that documents and interviews showed that a plan to allow hog plants to replace federal USDA inspectors with their own private employees had produced “serious lapses that included failing to remove fecal matter from meat” in three of the five plants that had participated in a pilot program for more than a decade.

       And plants using the same procedure in Australia and Canada also ran into problems. In one case, a Canadian company had to recall 8.8 million pounds of beef products for E. coli contamination…..
       http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/09/09/usda-privatizing-meat-inspections-with-program-that-allowed-chunks-of-feces/

       The USDA also relaxed rules a while back and now allows feces to be “washed off” instead of condemning the meat as unfit for humans. This is the result:
       A Report from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
       April 2012:

       Fecal contamination is surprisingly common on chicken products in grocery stores. In this study, scientists with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine tested chicken products sold by 15 grocery store chains in 10 U.S. cities for the presence of feces. A certified, independent analytical testing laboratory in Chicago, Ill., tested for the presence of E. coli as evidence of fecal contamination. Chicken products from every city and every grocery store chain tested positive for fecal contamination. Overall, 48 percent of chicken samples tested positive….

       So the USDA/FDA new recommendation is to NOT wash the chicken but to carefully place the chicken straight from the package into the pan and cook. (Along with the feces, congealed blood, feathers…) because washing the chicken with contaminate your kitchen.

       Part of this whole food safety mess is corporations want to irradiate food to kill bacteria so they do not have to keep high hygiene standards. That is one of the goals towards which we are being pushed. The other is making farming a business unavailable to anyone but large corporations. (think drug manufacture – same regs.)

         “…failing to remove fecal matter from meat” in three of the five plants …”

         But how many sheeple will be taking the Homer Simpson option when he was told that 1 in 5 of the burgers he consumed was spat in by the staff.

         Heck, I’ve gotten chicken that somehow had chicken feed in the package.

   I live in Ohio and my guess our temperature data looks very similar. Do you have a like to it? Like Indiana and Kentucky, Ohio will be hit very hard by these new regulations and the result will b e higher electric bills. It’s nice to know Obama cares for working families!

     Best description of government propaganda I have seen yet.

     The viewpoint of DC is tax payers are there to be sheared and if they complain kick them again harder while telling them it is for their own good.
