Connect the Dots – Farmer Cleared
Cleared of charges in Hennepin County, Schlangen still faces a second criminal trial in a different jurisdiction, Stearns County, on six misdemeanor counts for alleged violations of the Minnesota food and dairy code. A pre-trial hearing in the case is scheduled for November 2nd.
Falls Church, Virginia (September 27, 2012 – GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A significant court victory was won for food rights on September 20, 2012 when a Minnesota jury found farmer Alvin Schlangen not guilty on all three criminal misdemeanor counts for violations of the state food and dairy code.
The case was referred by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) and brought by the Hennepin County prosecutor’s office. The Department alleged that Mr. Schlangen sold raw milk off the farm, that he handled food without first possessing a food handler’s permit, and that he distributed misbranded and/or adulterated dairy products. A fourth charge on a labeling violation was dropped at the beginning of his criminal trial.
We did some research on Hennepin County and look what we found. Here is one of your so-called ‘conservatives’, the Hennepin County Commissioner, explaining to you how you must cede your rights to the UN’s sustainability schemes, and it even mentions the Brundtland Report, and Monsanto, the worst perpetrator of all food crimes.
“The concept of sustainable development is a valuable framework for analyzing the complex linkages among our social, economic, and environmental worlds. Almost a decade ago, the Brundtland Report, Our Common Future, launched the global discussion on sustainable development and gave us its most commonly-accepted definition: “development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations’ to meet their own needs.”
Rio’s Agenda 21 was adopted by nations representing 98 percent of the world’s population in 1992 and further helped to focus these ideas. Since then, national, regional, and local efforts to achieve sustainability have proliferated. More than 100 nations have established national councils on sustainable development. The national plans called for in Rio are being drafted by countries around the world. Australia released its National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development in December 1992. Japan followed soon after with its National Action Plan for Agenda 21 in 1993. China published Priority Programme for China’s Agenda 21 in 1994. Most recently, in the USA, the President’s Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD) released Sustainable America: A New Consensus for Prosperity, Opportunity, and a Healthy Environment for the Future, in February 1996.”

And it just gets worse. This man who calls himself a ‘republican’ is here talking about how the term Tax-Free Internet is a Seductively Simplistic Slogan. Are you starting to get the picture of what this man really thinks?
