There could be far more to think about with USDA wanting gardens registered than what most are talking about



The USDA under the Biden Administration restarted an Obama Administration initiative around October of 2022. It is called the People's Garden Initiative and has some interesting marketing and a fact on the page that makes one wonder about the agenda. Past the fact that registering a garden seems to be both a waste of federal resources and an intrusion, there are other implications that can make people leery of this. The entire program was not well thought out.

People's Garden

Here, via the USDA website, is what they say constitutes being able to register.

Do you have a community farm or garden that you’d like to designate a People’s Garden? Gardens of different sizes and types, including school gardens, community gardens, urban farms, and small-scale agriculture projects in rural and urban areas, can be recognized as a “People’s Garden.”

One of the problems of the naming of this is the symbolism that it brings in via how Mao reshaped China and preached constant revolution. The USDA does have an explanation, though, as will be seen throughout this article, it does not stand up as much. Here, via a second USDA page, is what they say is the reason for the name.

Originally launched in 2009 by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, The People’s Garden was named in honor of Abraham Lincoln who created the USDA and called it the “People’s Department”.

Odd Factoid

Here is the factoid that brings thoughts that there is more consideration with these gardens than stated.

Gardens on federal property must donate or use produce for educational purposes. We will provide an easy-to-use form to report how many pounds and what types of produce you’ve donated every six months.

One of the concerns that this brings about is dealing with the reasons for the Bundy Ranch Standoff in 2014. In the 50s or 60s, the Bundys and their neighbors bought a large piece of land together to help graze cattle. They knew there would be conflict if there was not someone helping, so they went to the local government, not state or federal, and asked them to administer the land. In the 70s, the federal government found out and took the land over. They charged so much money, that all but the Bundys were forced out. Whether it was for water rights, or some other issue, the government worked to destroy these families and their livelihoods.

Another Consideration

There are criminals that cross the border, being shipped all over the US by this Administration to locations that cause people to wonder why. There are maps on the USDA site that show where these gardens are, which could be harvested in secret by people needing food, such as these criminals. Taking of food out of these gardens would not make the news, unlike the squatter issue, so no person would notice other than the ones running the gardens.

This is meant to point out facts, but the entire initiative could be exactly what it says. The problem is, that too many people have been burnt by the government for there not to be some distrust. The facts here are real, but then again, the person who decided on the name could also have been a fan of The Rock and the People's Elbow. It does need to be monitored.

The government employee union with more power than the American people Part 6

To get members and dues for their political purposes, the SEIU has used illegal tactics over the years. They have been taken to court many times, yet they persist every chance they get. The reason they do this is to gain more and more power, along with grabbing as much money as they can from the members to use for political purposes. They have already stated how they are using all of this in the article I recently wrote, which means people need to know what is happening. Kaiser Permanente The SEIU and Kaiser Permanente worked together to force employees to join the union before 2006. Both were taken to court and smacked down. Here is what occurred, via a National Right to Work release.  In a victory for employee free choice, a group of workers aided by the National Right to Work Foundation have forced Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 49 officials to renounce their monopoly bargaining power over employees of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (a component of the nation...

Under Wolf, Pennsylvania misspent half a billion in school Medicaid funds

Few people can truly imagine what $551 million is, but that is the sum that the state of Pennsylvania either mismanaged or spent erroneously of federal Medicaid funds earmarked for schools. While they argued with the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General over this, they have not released a public statement. Money that could have helped students across the nation seems to have evaporated under then Democrat Governor Tom Wolf. Report Findings Here, via the HHS OIG report , is what they found. “Pennsylvania improperly claimed Federal funds through its Medicaid school-based health services program. Specifically, Pennsylvania claimed estimated unallowable Federal funds totaling $182.5 million because it did not support that all moments used in RMTSs and coded as Medicaid-eligible were for Medicaid-eligible health services or Medicaid administrative activities. Also, Pennsylvania improperly claimed an additional $368.9 million when it used unsupported ratios to allocate c...

Imagine the implications of believably faked audio and video used against conservatives

Well, it seems that the Democrats and their various organizations have a way to falsify what is said by people via artificial intelligence.  This   is shown  by the story of what Pikesville High School Principal Eric Eiswert in Maryland has gone through when the school Athletic Director and PE teacher Dazhon Darien used an AI program to make it sound like Eiswert was making racist and anti-Semitic rants.  There are many instances that this can be used by police to frame others, civilians can do this to people they hate, and many other ways this can be, will be, and most likely has been used. What Happened Eiswert started investigating  some   suspicious budgeting from the athletic department, along with  the removal of  a coach without the  principal’s  approval.  When Darien  started  realizing the investigation was happening and going against him, an email went out to three teachers with an audio track that was suppose...
