The time is LATE! Your health is being undermined by the Corporation.

Please see Grounded News Presents: Save Compassion Farm (click the links)

I agree, Dirk and Nicole are in the forefront of Urban Farmers DOING something about the current state of growing FOOD in North America. Because we went to sleep, Corporate America has gained such a head start and MONOPOLY with "their brand of FOODS", (GMO, Round-up Ready, Terminator seeds and PATENTED Foods - It is estimated Monsanto now has over 11,000 patents - THEY control the foods you BUY in STORES) in combination with their control of "non-natural PATENTED MEDICINES" through the Church of Modern Medicine - we are in grave danger for our SURVIVAL. It's not about getting "along" with neighbours! Hello? Dirk Becker and Nicole Shaw simply wanted to be left alone to try to do their small part to solving OUR PROBLEM what are we going to breathe, drink and EAT, as well as live, but NO! The neighbourhood NIMBY, Jim Brash has been emboldened by the Mayor Colin Haime and majority of Council of Lantzville (one of the Councillors is Denise Haime, Mayor Haime's wife so they consitute 2 of the 7 votes) to escalate his harassment and bullying of Dirk and Nicole. I believe they are acting like Fascists in that community and persecuting these innocents for daring to do something against THEIR repressive zoning and by-laws in THEIR neighbourhood. Rise up people, educate yourself why so many countries around the world don't want North American Frankenfoods! Watch, Learn and APPLY. Tear out the lawn, plant open-pollinated seeds, and seek out Heritage FOOD plants and animals. Or at least SUPPORT local urbanites like Dirk and Nicole who will! http://www.youtube.com/wat​ch?v=pEYnX3-I0TA

SKU and UPC

I believe this is just the tip of an iceberg; it's another blatant power grab by "The Corporation" It is being aided and abbetted by so called professionals like lawyers, judges and politicians with vested interests in this. 

(Click on the highlighted links that follow for background and more information.)

SKU is Stock-Keeping Unit and UPC is Universal Product Code are tools of Modern day beancounters (accountants) and computer programmers that has been sold to merchants as a way to determine usage - sales and project needs based upon consumption. So far so good but I believe the ramifications for people producing a product without having a SKU or UPC is they soon will not be allowed to sell them

Need the basics? see Wikipedia for background:

The CORPORATION:

Since the Corporation came into being - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation#History it has allowed people to come together in a legal entity to generate profits and spread the risks. But now, in recent times some have begun to wonder at what cost? I believe as explained in The Globe and Mail, Saturday, March 6, 2004 - Page D3 a review of the book "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power" by Joel Bakan (Viking Canada, 228 pages) that the corporation has lost it's moral direction. More evidence that MONEY, POWER and GREED is behind these things? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corporation and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa3wyaEe9vE which is the trailer for the 23 part "The Corporation" on YouTube. Connect the dots to the movie FOOD, Inc. whose trailer is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eKYyD14d_0&feature=related
and Corporations like Wal-mart and who is in charge today?

So there you have it, the USA leads the way:  
Corporate America screwing the little guy

WHAT CAN YOU AND I DO ABOUT ALL THIS?!

Take action on a small, local basis is first! Refuse to buy into the gods of MONEY, POWER and GREED. Give thanks for what you now have instead of what you think you need! Grow your own food, do not support the "bigger is better" philosophy. Share the planet with others including bugs so that there will be some for everyone. Learn to live and let live. Children belong to their parents, not one or the other or the government. Our homes, our families, our food, air and water will not sustain us in the future unless we take action today...People before profits.

Law Suits

On Protect Urban Agriculture, Save Compassion Farm...

Thought you might be interested in the costs another municipality ran into when they sued a citizen. Total legal costs were about $120,000, or $200 per taxpayer. Suing a taxpayer shows great fiscal responsibility, doesn't it?
