Action in the food fight is hitting the fan so secure your food supply and be prepared to defend it. The powers that be found a Constitutional breach back in 2008 and they wasted no time making sure that breach could never be restored.
Here are two major hiccups that you need to know about whether you get involved in the political arena of the food fight or not:
Animal Health Surveillance and Monitoring System hidden under an amendment to the Privacy Act

Some of you may know the primitive ancestor program known as NAIS-The National Animal Identification Program or Traceability. They were just working out the "bugs" for their new program under the just unveiled,
VS Vision 2015.
What does this mean to you?
- All property is required to be registered with the government. This does cloud your Title putting the gov in the first place, kinda like an IRS lien
- All animals and life must be electronically identified. The alpha-numeric code has a country code and conveniently transfers your animal and plant as an asset of the US. In this financial climate you do not want your assets being US assets.
- Surveillance 24/7 electronically of everything from animal movement to your chicken catching a cold
- Records kept 150 years
- No opt-out
- All records shared with other collaborators including foreign countries
- Keeps and distributes a list of non-compliant persons
- Is a living document that changes with the international winds so you never know the rules or costs
- Any 'official' has the right to come onto your land to inspect to UN standards
- Any 'official' has the right to come onto your land to test anything to UN standards
- Any 'official' has the right to come onto your land to vaccinate to UN standards
- Any 'official' has the right to come onto your land to electronically identify all life to UN standards
Comment Period open until December 28, 2011
Implementation Date- January 9, 2012
This is the first step in a broad transformation of agriculture known as
VS Vision 2015. It is 150 pages of the tip of the ice-berg in agriculture transformation. I have not had time to summarize and they made the document so I cannot summarize without going page by page, but we knew it was coming. We fought as best we could but this tsunami of evil is about to crash in.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a), requires agencies to publish in the Federal Register
notice of new or revised systems of records maintained by the agency. A
system of records is a group of any records under the control of any
agency, from which information is retrieved by the name of an
individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other identifying
particular assigned to an individual.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) is proposing to add a new system of
records, entitled APHIS Animal Health Surveillance and Monitoring
System (AHSM), that will be used to maintain records of activities
conducted by the agency pursuant to its mission and responsibilities
authorized by the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.);
Bovine Johne's Disease Control Program (7 U.S.C. 7629); and the Public
Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002
(7 U.S.C. 8401).
APHIS' Veterinary Services (VS) program will use the AHSM to
collect, manage, and evaluate animal health data for disease control
and surveillance programs. The AHSM will assist APHIS in obtaining and
analyzing relevant epidemiological information, identifying appropriate
response tactics, and effectively responding to an animal disease event
in the United States. It will also allow us to identify and notify the
owners of animals that have been or may have been exposed in an animal
disease event. The AHSM may also be used to document animal health
program results to justify expenditures and compile statistical data
about animal disease control or surveillance programs.
The AHSM contains modules for the Veterinary Services Laboratory
Submissions (VSLS), the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP), and
the Mobile Information Management system (MIM).
The AHSM contains personally identifiable information about the
individual listed as the contact person for the location where the
animals subject to animal disease control or surveillance programs are
maintained and the owner of animals involved with animal disease
control or surveillance programs. Such information includes name;
mailing and physical address, including city, county, State, postal
code, and latitude/longitude coordinates; telephone number; email
address; and any animal, sample, or location identification numbers
associated with the person. The system also contains information about
APHIS employees, cooperators, and contractors who are directly involved
in animal disease control or surveillance program activities such as
name, home and work address, home and work email addresses, telephone
number(s), and any assigned identification numbers.
Routine Uses of Records Maintained in the System, Including Categories
of Users and the Purposes of Such Uses
APHIS may routinely share data in the AHSM with certain Federal and
State animal health officials or Federal or State wildlife agencies for
assistance in conducting, managing, and analyzing animal disease or
surveillance programs, and monitoring animal diseases including those
related to wildlife, feral animals, or alternative livestock. Data may
also be shared with Federal or State agencies involved with public
health such as the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and
Human Services for the purposes of zoonotic disease surveillance or
control activities. APHIS may also share data in the AHSM with the
public through a Web site that lists participants in voluntary animal
disease certification or quality assurance programs, and lists
individuals or entities not in compliance with animal disease
regulations. APHIS may also use the Web site to notify individuals who
may have acquired exposed or potentially exposed animals when other
means of contact are unavailable.
Other routine uses of this information include releases related to
investigations pertaining to violations of law or related to
litigation. A complete listing of the routine uses for this system is
included in the accompanying document that is published along with this
notice.
The proposed information collection requests associated with this
system have been approved by or submitted for approval by the Office of
Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act.

In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.
552a(b) of the Privacy Act, records maintained in the system may be
disclosed outside USDA as follows:
(1) To certain Federal and State animal health officials to
conduct, analyze, and report on the progress of animal disease control
or surveillance programs;
(2) To Federal and State wildlife agencies for assistance in
managing and analyzing animal disease control or surveillance programs
and monitoring diseases related to wildlife, feral animals, or
alternative livestock;
(3) To Federal or State agencies involved with public health such
as the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services
for the purposes of zoonotic disease surveillance or control
activities;
(4) To the public through a public Web site which lists
participants in voluntary animal disease certification or quality
assurance programs and documents compliance with such programs; lists
individuals not in compliance with animal disease regulations; and
notifies individuals who may have acquired exposed or potentially
exposed animals when other means of contact are unavailable;
(5) To the appropriate agency, whether Federal, State, local, or
foreign, charged with responsibility of investigating or prosecuting a
violation of law or of enforcing, implementing, or complying with a
statute, rule, regulation, or order issued pursuant thereto, of any
record within this system when information available indicates a
violation or potential violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or
regulatory in nature, and either arising by general statute or
particular program statute, or by rule, regulation, or court order
issued pursuant thereto;
(6) To the Department of Justice when the agency, or any component
thereof, or any employee of the agency in his or her official capacity,
or any employee of the agency in his or her individual capacity where
the Department of Justice has agreed to represent the employee, or the
United States, in litigation, where the agency determines that
litigation is likely to affect the agency or any of its components, is
a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the
use of such records by the Department of Justice is deemed by the
agency to be relevant and necessary to the litigation; provided,
however, that in each case, the agency determines that disclosure of
the records to the Department of Justice is a use of the information
contained in the records that is compatible with the purpose for which
the records were collected;
(7) For use in a proceeding before a court or adjudicative body
before which the agency is authorized to appear, when the agency, or
any component thereof, or any employee of the agency in his or her
official capacity, or any employee of the agency in his or her
individual capacity where the agency has agreed to represent the
employee, or the United States, where the agency determines that
litigation is likely to affect the agency or any of its components, is
a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the
agency determines that use of such records is relevant and necessary to
the litigation; provided, however, that in each case, the agency
determines that disclosure of the records to the court is a use of the
information contained in the records that is compatible with the
purpose for which the records were collected;
(8) To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when the agency
suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of
information in the system of records has been compromised; the agency
has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed
compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, a
risk of identity theft or fraud, or a risk of harm to the security or
integrity of this system or other systems or programs (whether
maintained by the agency or another agency or entity) that rely upon
the compromised information; and the disclosure made to such agencies,
entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection
with the agency's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed
compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm;
(9) To contractors and other parties engaged to assist in
administering the program. Such contractors and other parties will be
bound by the nondisclosure provisions of the Privacy Act. This routine
use assists the agency in carrying out the program, and thus is
compatible with the purpose for which the records are created and
maintained;
(10) To USDA contractors, partner agency employees or contractors,
or private industry employed to identify patterns, trends or anomalies
indicative of fraud, waste, or abuse; and
(11) To the National Archives and Records Administration or to the

BILLING CODE 3410-34-P
Being an animal owner myself, I went to the link provided by the OP. I then went to a link that was posted on that website and I read this document that has been added to the Federal Register. Other than the dates that the OP stated, I didnt see anything else that remotely resembles what the OP posted. I am not saying this isnt true, but I have copied and pasted the document for everyone to read. IF what was originally posted is true, then I would like to see it from a bill or something that is posted in the Federal Register, instead of someone's website and their take on the subject. Any enlightenment is appreciated.
