Monsanto Goons Resort to Stealing Farmers’ Bank Accounts!!!

Monsanto’s Food and Drug Administration can’t close down small
dairies and private food clubs fast enough, bursting on the scene with
guns drawn as if the criminalized right to contract for natural foods
we’ve consumed for millennia deserves SWAT attention.

Now, Obama has the Dept. of Justice going after small farmers under
the post-911 “Bank Secrecy Act” which makes it a crime to deposit less
than $10,000 when you earned more than that.

“The level we deposited was what it was and it was about the same every week,” Randy Sowers told Frederick News. The Sowers own and run South Mountain Creamery in Middletown, Maryland.

Admittedly, when the Sowers earned over
$10,000 in February, and learned they’d have to fill out paperwork at
the bank for such large deposits, they simply rolled the deposits over
to keep them below the none-of-your-fucking-business amount, rather than
waste time on bureaucratic red tape aimed at flagging terrorism or
other illegal activities.

“Structuring,” explains Overlawyered.com,
“is the federal criminal offense of splitting up bank deposits so as to
keep them under a threshold such as $10,000 above which banks have to
report transactions to the government.”

While being questioned, the Sowers were finally presented with a
seizure order and advised that the feds had already emptied their bank
account of $70,000.  The Dept. of Justice has since sued to keep $63,000 of the Sowers’ money, though they committed no crime other than maintaining their privacy.

Without funds, they will be unable to make purchases for the spring planting.

When a similar action was taken against Taylor’s Produce Stand last
year, the feds seized $90,000, dropped the charges, and kept $45,000 of
Taylor’s money.

Knowing that most farms operate on a very thin margin, such abuse of
power wipes out a family’s income, and for a bonus, the feds enhance the
monopoly power of Monsanto, Big Dairy and their supply chain.

You can just smell attorney Michael Taylor behind all this, Obama’s
dairy dog.  Who you’ll find, instead, is US district attorney Stefan
Cassella.

He’s the first to head the DOJ’s Asset Forfeiture Money Laundering Section, created in 2009, having wrote the books on it. He cut his teeth on seizing $1.2 billion from real money launderer, BCCI.  Guess his focus has changed since then.

The Maryland Dept. of Agriculture had no trouble hitting up the Sowers for a recipe in its Buy-Local cookbook;
but Cassella must’ve missed that public service, or it’s what drew his
attention – “Ah! A small dairy! Let’s rob them of their cash, those evil
Big Dairy competitors. They probably sell raw milk under the table.
Even if we find no evidence of wrongdoing, we’ll keep their money
anyway.” (Cue Curly’s, “yuh, yuh, yuh.”)

City Paper
reports that in 2011, “Maryland brought 14 of the nation’s 99
structuring cases, making it the top state for such prosecutions. 
Nationally, the numbers have been rising; the 2011 figures are up 8.8
percent from the year before and up 57.1 percent from five years ago.”

Funny, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and other criminal banksters
are still in operation, despite committing millions of acts of fraud
during mortgage reassignations.

The DOJ prioritizes squashing family
farmers since it’s easier to pick the low-hanging fruit than do battle
with well-financed criminals who’ve illegally seized the homes of
millions of US citizens.

Former Maryland assistant U.S. attorney Steven Levin told the paper,
“The emphasis is on basically seizing money, whether it is legally or
illegally earned. It can lead to financial ruin for business owners, and
there’s a potential for abuse here by the government.”

Ya think?

The Bank Secrecy Act was modified*
after 9/11, another in a long line of Constitutionally-abhorrent laws
enacted by officials who cannot prove they were elected to office (given
those elections were held on electronic voting systems that can be
hacked without leaving evidence of the crime).

With the current Administration’s Agenda 21 focus
on destroying the natural food and herb industry, is it not
unsurprising to see unconstitutional terrorist legislation used on
innocent, law abiding citizens?
