Oregon Bill to BAN Livestock - Stunning War on Farming/Ranching

TORY AT-A-GLANCE
- Bill Gates, who co-funded the startup of the imitation meat company
Impossible Foods, now insists synthetic beef is a necessary strategy to address
climate change
- Gates wants Americans and other Western nations to switch to a diet of
100% synthetic beef. Coincidentally, Oregon is now proposing a ballot
initiative for the 2022 general election that would effectively ban most meat
sales and consumption in the state
- Initiative Petition 13 would turn Oregon into a “sanctuary state for
animals” by removing exemptions for good animal husbandry practices,
criminalizing the raising and slaughtering of food animals and reclassifying
traditional animal husbandry practices such as artificial insemination as
“sexual assault”
- This falls in line with the net zero emission goals announced by the Biden
administration, which aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030,
compared to 2005 levels, and reach zero emissions by 2050 at the latest
- Forcing people to cut or eliminate beef consumption is part of the climate
agenda. Gates spells this out in his book, and the EAT Forum, which
collaborates with nearly 40 governments around the world to transform the food
system, works closely with imitation meat companies, including Impossible Foods
As you may have heard, Bill Gates has been buying up farmland across 18 U.S.
states through various subsidiary companies.1 In all, he now owns about 242,000
acres of farmland.2 He’s also a longtime promoter of GMOs and recently started
calling for a complete transition from meat to lab-grown meat and other fake
and unnatural food sources, such as a protein-rich microbe found in a
Yellowstone geyser.3
Seeing how Gates always promotes solutions and industries that he has financial
investments in, it’s not surprising that Gates insists synthetic beef is a
necessary strategy to address climate change,4 having co-funded the startup of
the imitation meat company Impossible Foods. Other investors included Google
and Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos.5
The call to replace beef with fake meat is made in Gates’ book “How to Avoid a
Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need,” which
was released in February 2021.6
The idea is that by eliminating livestock, we’d reduce methane emissions, a
greenhouse gas. However, the notion that cattle are a significant source of
methane only applies to animals raised on concentrated animal feeding
operations (CAFOs), where they are fed an inappropriate diet of GMO grains —
not free-grazing animals raised on a species-appropriate diet of grasses.
So, in reality, a far more sustainable and healthy answer would be to
transition away from CAFOs and return to integrated herd management systems,
which are an important part of regenerative farming, as grazing livestock
optimizes soil quality and improves the quality and quantity of crops.
Oregon Bill Aims to Ban Meat
Gates isn’t suggesting the U.S. cut down on meat consumption by a little bit.
He wants Americans and other Western nations to switch to a diet of 100%
synthetic beef.7 Mid-February, 2021, he told Technology Review:8
“I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get
used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste
even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you
can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift
the demand.”
Gates is no stranger to pushing for regulations that shift consumer demand, so,
it’s a curious coincidence that one U.S. state — Oregon — is now proposing a
ballot initiative for the 2022 general election that would effectively ban meat
sale and consumption in the state altogether.9
On the scale of crazy, it’s certifiable and sounds like something straight out
of the satire site “The Onion.” But, if like Gates, you are trying to force a
transition into synthetic beef and other patented food sources, it’s a logical,
if not necessary, step.
As explained in the Ice Age Farmer video above, Initiative Petition 1310 (IP13)
would turn Oregon into a “sanctuary state for animals” by removing exemptions
for good animal husbandry practices, criminalizing the raising and slaughtering
of food animals in the state, and reclassifying traditional animal husbandry
practices such as artificial insemination and castration as “sexual assault.”
The only type of natural meat that would be allowed to be processed and eaten
would be an animal that has lived out at least one-quarter of its natural
lifespan or died of natural causes, which typically means the meat is inedible
due to age or disease. Killing of an animal would only be legal in cases of
“human self-defense.” As reported by Farm Progress:11
“Livestock groups say the initiative has dangerous implications for their
industry. They note that language in the proposal specifically targets
livestock transportation, poultry production and commonly accepted slaughter
methods as well as fishing, hunting, trapping, wildlife management and other
animal-related activities …
Oregon Cattlemen’s Association executive director Tammy Dennee told Farm
Progress … ‘If you really boil it down, we’re talking about local food
production … There’s a high degree of consumer awareness about purchasing local
and understanding the local food supply, and you do not get better local food
production than with a local beef producer.’”

Replacing Beef With Fake Food Is Part of the Climate Agenda
If enacted, the bill would mean the elimination of a vast majority of Oregon’s
12,000 beef producers, who raise on average 1.3 million heads of cattle each
year. The industry simply wouldn’t survive the proposed rules that would
require cattle to be fed and tended for a minimum of five years before
slaughter. In short, with few exceptions, ranching would be shut down, leaving
patented synthetic meat as your only option.
As noted by Ice Age Farmer, this falls in line with the net zero emission goals
announced by the Biden administration,12 which aims to cut greenhouse gas
emissions in half by 2030, compared to 2005 levels, and reach zero emissions by
2050 at the latest.
Mainstream media have been quick to dismiss claims that the net zero emissions
plan has anything to do with, or will have any impact on meat availability,13
for the simple fact that no one in the administration has ever mentioned the
words “beef” or “meat.”
However, a Daily Mail analysis suggests slashing meat consumption to 4 pounds
per person per year (0.18 ounces per day, or one average-sized hamburger per
month) would need to be part of that plan, in addition to changing the cars we
drive and how we heat our homes.14
The fact is, Biden has not released any details of how the emission cuts are to
be accomplished, so dismissing a reduction in meat consumption off-hand seems
premature. Without doubt, forcing people to cut or eliminate beef consumption
is part of the climate agenda. Gates clearly spells this out in his book, so
it’s hardly a baseless conspiracy theory.
Global Push to Reinvent the Food System for the Worse
Another official source proving synthetic beef will be thrust upon us, willing
or not, is the EAT Forum, self-described as the “Davos for food.” EAT Forum is
co-founded by the Wellcome Trust (an organization funded by and strategically
linked to GlaxoSmithKline, a vaccine maker in which Gates is financially
invested), and collaborates with nearly 40 city governments in Europe, Africa,
Asia, North America, South America and Australia.
EAT Forum also helps the Gates-funded United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
create updated dietary guidelines. The Forum’s restructuring of global food
policies is part and parcel of the Great Reset, which aims to “reset” every
conceivable aspect of life and society.15
The EAT Forum’s largest initiative is called FReSH, the goal of which is to
transform the food system as a whole. Project partners in this venture include
Bayer, Cargill, Syngenta, Unilever and Google. As reported by The Defender:16
“According to Frederic Leroy, a food science and biotechnology professor at
University of Brussels, EAT network is working closely with some of the biggest
imitation meat companies, including Impossible Foods and other biotech
companies, to replace wholesome nutritious foods with Gates’ genetically
modified lab concoctions.”
Similarly, Ireland’s Department of Agriculture has announced it needs to
“reduce the size of the national herd to reduce methane emissions.”17 As noted
by Ice Age Farmer, there’s no such thing as a “national herd,” or a herd that
belongs to the nation as a whole, so what they’re really saying is “we’re going
to eliminate ranchers and farmers to meet our climate goals.”
So, whether President Biden spells out the word “beef” or not in relation to
his climate agenda is irrelevant. It’s clear there’s a coordinated effort
underway to push for a global restructuring of our food system, with the aim of
getting rid of food independence and forcing people to rely on patented food
sources, including patented synthetic animal products like lab-grown “beef” —
all under the false flag of climate correction and saving the planet.
The truth is that this is nothing but a gigantic power grab. He who controls
the food controls the nation, and this so-called climate agenda has nothing to
do with reducing emissions and everything to do with disempowering the people,
preventing us from growing food, and forcing us into a controlled system where
we have to rely on patented food for survival. It’s hard to imagine a more
nefarious agenda.

doing and every pebble in the path becomes her teacher! Oink
