Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss the decline of the hog business after years in it. They say they stayed in the pig business for years until the market was destroyed, and they got out in 1990-1995 because “you can't sell.” They note they weren’t paid for the protein they bought. They describe a lack of profitability: “They didn't pay for the protein we bought.” They recall trying to price things, saying, “send $16 a 100 with 16¢ a pound per damn pound.” Wilbur is mentioned as someone who thought he’d get rich, but it was worthless. He bought 60-pound feeder pigs for $5 a head and sold them for 8¢ a pound, with a hog bringing “$24.35 a hog for a number one.” They emphasize that prices never came down in the grocery store. The government is criticized for wanting consolidation and integration, aiming to “put everybody out of the hog business but the great big giant one,” akin to the chicken industry. They mention Tyson and Arkansas as players forming a large integrated system. They say, “Now they're in a the only one they ain't got integrated yet beef,” and they discuss “giner and giner ones out west with two or 3,000 brood cows” who have their own beef operations. The speakers recount the collapse of the hog industry, noting that “there's no market slap” and that the market was destroyed. They mention a person in Geneva who bought up the biggest operations, suggesting that those who harmed others would be the next to fail, and indeed “in two years' time they were out of bed.” They recount a shift where, at one point, you could haul a few hogs to Georgia, but then Georgia closed down. They describe packing plants: “They had a packing plant for hogs in Dothan, the first one to go, and they sold it and turned it into a chicken butchering glass.” The Sunnyland-Elba area is referenced. They say packers bought “fat sows that were already butchered by the big company,” bringing in carcasses, cutting them up one by one, which effectively eliminated the smaller operations. Finally, they explain the geographical movement: Georgia went out of business, so they had to haul hogs to South Carolina. They could haul only a few miles in the summer, and “a few miles, you was lucky to haul them once you up there.”

Bill Gates and his foundation are advocating for a specific type of agriculture that excludes animal-based proteins and small farms. This is leading to the consolidation of farms into large corporate mega farms, displacing small and medium-sized farms. Similar trends are happening in China, where small family farms are being replaced by government-controlled mega farms. The global agenda to target farmers is part of a larger plan to implement the same policies worldwide. This consolidation of agriculture and food supply is concerning because it can lead to food shortages and higher prices. The ultimate goal seems to be control over the food supply, as controlling food means controlling the people.

The speaker discusses the connection between financial control and the food supply, highlighting a push for synthetic lab-grown food controlled by the pharmaceutical industry. They warn against the potential consequences of losing control over transactions, which could lead to mandated consumption of artificial food products. The speaker emphasizes the importance of supporting farmers and fishermen to prevent the mass production of lab-grown meat in manufacturing plants and laboratories.

Smithfield is owned by the Chinese, therefore land owned by Smithfield is Chinese owned land. Pastures and cows on this land are Chinese owned. The speaker indicates that the Chinese are buying up land.

The speaker asserts that the consolidation of the meat processing business, enabled by the government, has negatively impacted the national economic health. They claim that two foreign government-controlled companies acquired major players in the industry. One is controlled by the Chinese, who bought Smithfield, and the other is a Brazilian company. According to the speaker, 85% of the industry is now controlled by four companies, dictating market conditions. They express concern that the government allowed over 50% of beef processing to be controlled by foreign entities, which they believe compromises food source security, especially given the current geopolitical climate. They question why a potential adversary would control 25% of US meat processing.

One company, 100% Chinese-owned, produces 60% of US pork. Four companies control over 80% of the US meat industry. The US food supply allows over 10,000 additives. 99% of chickens, 95% of hogs, and 78% of cattle in the US are raised in confinement. 80% of antibiotics consumed in the US are fed to animals; in 2016, 18.4 million pounds of antibiotics were sold for livestock. Suicide rates amongst farmers are higher than any other profession, including veterans.

JBS has allegedly bribed over 3,000 government officials to import lower-standard beef into America. The beef arrives as frozen slabs, is processed into steaks and hamburger, and then sold as a product of the USA, which it allegedly is not. This imported beef may contain unknown additives. This practice undercuts American ranchers, and instead of feeding Americans, JBS exports American products.

We lost 500,000 farms and 125,000,000 acres of farmland in the US last year. Local ranchers and producers need support. Buy American. Buy Local.

I'm in Sherwood, Connecticut, discussing why entities like Gates and China are buying up American farmland. My experience with factory farms highlights this issue. For 20 years, I sued large producers like Smithfield Foods, which built a massive slaughterhouse in North Carolina. Partnering with a state senator, they passed laws making it illegal to sue factory farms. This led to the demise of 28,000 independent hog farmers, replaced by a few large factories controlled by Smithfield. They dictate farming practices, leaving farmers with no control. As a result, Smithfield now controls 80% of hog production in North Carolina and sold itself to China, threatening the vision of American democracy rooted in independent family farms. This industrial agriculture not only compromises food quality but also undermines our landscapes and democracy.

I'm here to address why figures like Gates and China are acquiring farmland. I spent 20 years involved with factory farms and saw firsthand how Smithfield Foods transformed North Carolina's pork industry. Smithfield built a massive slaughterhouse and partnered with a state senator who made it nearly impossible to sue factory farms. They then introduced warehouse-style pig farming, driving pork prices down and forcing 28,000 independent hog farmers out of business, replacing them with 2,200 factories. Farmers who remained became controlled by Smithfield, losing autonomy over their land and practices. This model spread to Iowa, and eventually, Smithfield sold itself to China, giving them control over a large portion of American hog production. This shift undermines the vision of a democracy rooted in independent family farms and poses a significant threat to our democracy by consolidating control of our landscapes.

JBS and National Beef, controlling 85% of the US beef market, are owned by Brazil. Brazil also owns Cargill's Pork Production, the second-largest pork producer in the US. Smithfield Meats, owned by China, is the number one pork producer in the US. This is alarming to the US public.

I'm at Sherwood Island in Connecticut, discussing the issue of farmland ownership by Gates and China. My experience in factory farming, particularly with Smithfield Foods in North Carolina, illustrates this problem. Smithfield built a massive slaughterhouse and partnered with Wendell Murphy, who passed laws making it illegal to sue factory farms. This led to the closure of 28,000 independent hog farmers, replaced by 2,100 factory farms controlled by Smithfield. Farmers who contracted with Smithfield lost control over their operations, becoming dependent on the company. As a result, Smithfield now controls 80% of hog production in North Carolina and expanded this model nationwide before selling to China. This shift undermines the vision of independent family farms and poses a significant threat to American democracy and our agricultural landscape.

Greeley, Colorado, is near a JBS USA slaughterhouse that kills up to 5,400 cows daily, totaling nearly 2,000,000 annually, and is surrounded by CAFOs. JBS, the largest animal protein company, has been linked to corruption scandals. In Brazil, JBS executives admitted to paying over $150,000,000 in bribes to over 1,800 politicians, including two presidents, to secure loans, dodge fines, and fuel expansion. In the US, JBS faced fines for price fixing, endangering workers during COVID-19, and polluting air and water near rural communities. The current food system involves corruption, collapse, and public dependence on a private empire. An animal-free, transparent, and just system is possible. Rethink food, power, and Greeley.

I'm here to discuss why companies like Gates and China are buying up farmland. I spent years suing factory farms, including Smithfield Foods, the largest pork producer. Smithfield came to North Carolina and, with a partner, created large-scale hog warehouses, dropping pork prices from 60¢ to 2¢ a pound. This put 28,000 independent hog farmers out of business, replaced by 2,200 factories controlled by or contracted to Smithfield. Farmers became like serfs on their own land, losing control over their practices. Smithfield dictated everything. Because of the price drop in North Carolina, Iowa had to adopt the same system. Eventually Smithfield controlled 80% of US hog production and then sold itself to China. Now China owns a large part of our hog production, threatening Thomas Jefferson's vision of a democracy rooted in independent family farms. This industrial agriculture gives us substandard food and threatens American democracy.

The cattle industry has changed due to meat processing consolidation by 4 giant companies, two of which are controlled by foreign governments (China and Brazil). This raises concerns about national security and control over our food source. It is alarming that countries outside the US have significant influence over our meat processing, posing a risk to our geopolitical situation.

In November, the EPA will vote on a bill to add costly water treatment programs to butcher shops, impacting local producers. This move limits consumer choice and favors big packers. The cost is high for small businesses, potentially restricting access to locally sourced meat. The shift may push consumers towards larger corporations controlling most of the industry. Share your thoughts and remember to support American and local businesses.

It's challenging to change the cattle industry's reliance on antibiotics and vaccines. Some beef labeled as "product of the USA" may not have originated there. The debate over beef's healthiness continues, with concerns about how cattle are raised. Bug protein and lab-grown meat are emerging alternatives. Only four major companies dominate beef production in the US, leading to a lack of local butchers. The art of butchering is fading, making it difficult to find quality meat cutters.

The cattle industry has changed due to meat processing consolidation by 4 giant companies, two of which are controlled by foreign governments (China and Brazil). This raises concerns about national security and control over our food source. It is alarming that over 85% of the industry is now controlled by these companies, impacting who gets what, where, and when. Allowing foreign control of such a vital industry poses risks to our economic and geopolitical stability.

Speaker 0: Over 85% of the grass fed beef in the American market is imported product, not raised in America. In twenty years, we've gone from being a very early innovator to just a mere meager portion of 15%. Speaker 1: The worst part is that imported beef is legally labeled product of The USA. Speaker 2: How's that? Speaker 1: If value is added in this country, it's a product of The USA. Speaker 1: If they grind it, slice it, cut it, package it, label it Speaker 0: Rebox it. Speaker 1: Transport it. But the animal make make no mistake. The animal was born, raised, and slaughtered in Uruguay, Australia, New Zealand, or 20 other countries. Speaker 2: The United States imports beef from places like Australia, Canada, much of Latin America. It then runs that beef through USDA inspection, and if it passes, sticks a label on it that reads product of The USA. How dare you?

Speakers allege that figures like Bill Gates are driving farmland consolidation toward large blocks controlled by government or private consortia, with policies favoring non-animal proteins and the removal of stockyards and poultry farms. They claim small and medium farms are being gobbled up by corporate mega-farms due to mounting regulations, a trend seen in China where mechanized mega-farms displace family plots. They warn the globalist agenda involves expropriating farmers and taking over parliaments and governments. They point to 20 countries comprising 80% of emissions and argue money must be used to pull them to the table. They describe a global bureaucratic script with the same policies, tripled farming costs, and rising prices, predicting shortages. The end goal is total consolidation of agriculture and food supply; if you control the food, you control the people.

The speaker expresses concern about fires, explosions, and accidents in processing plants and the agriculture industry. They believe these incidents are not accidental but rather part of a larger agenda to eliminate agriculture. The speaker mentions manipulation, dirty politicians, and foreign country investments as factors contributing to this agenda. They also criticize the promotion of plant-based alternatives as healthy. The speaker highlights the lack of media coverage regarding the death of 180,000 cattle in a Texas explosion, suggesting it doesn't align with the agenda. They call for support of the food supply and family farmers.

The largest pork producer in the US is Chinese-owned, leading to negative impacts on small farms. The hog industry has seen a drastic decline in independent producers due to vertical integration. Smithfield Farms, the top pork producer, is Chinese-owned, raising concerns for consumers. While reversing the hog industry's consolidation may be challenging, efforts can be made to prevent similar issues in the cattle industry.

I'm in Sherwood, Connecticut, discussing concerns about Gates and China buying up American farmland. My experience with factory farms in North Carolina highlights this issue. Smithfield Foods, the largest pork producer, partnered with a state senator to pass laws that made it illegal to sue factory farms. They drastically reduced pork prices, driving out 28,000 independent farmers. Those who remained had to sign contracts with Smithfield, losing control over their operations. This model spread to Iowa, giving Smithfield control over 80% of U.S. hog production, which is now owned by China. This shift threatens the vision of American democracy rooted in independent family farms, as industrial agriculture compromises food quality and landscapes.

BlackRock owns the four meat packers in the country, who are keeping meat prices high and cow prices low, hurting both farmers and consumers due to their monopoly. BlackRock also owns all the pharmaceutical companies. The speaker suggests initiating antitrust suits against the meat packers and regulating pharmaceutical companies to prevent cartel-like behavior.
