Score one for the Amish giving a black-eye to government tyranny. Religious Liberty trumps unelected bureaucratic idiocy – at least for now. I suspect tyranny will take another swing. (Yup, I’m aware the Amish would object to the black-eye metaphor, but the mind’s-eye image felt good).

Amish farmer scores major victory in battle against
federal agriculture apparatus
'The government can always destroy any single
individual if it chooses. We must refuse'

Amish farmer Amos Miller will be able to continue selling
his organic meat after winning a major court victory on appeal last week
against the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The USDA began pursuing Miller last year for selling
“adulterated meat,” which refers to food that has not been treated with the
USDA’s chemical cocktails. All USDA-licensed processing plants are required to
lace their food products with synthetic preservatives.
“Often they use citric acid, which you’d think comes from
oranges or lemons, but it’s a modified substance made from corn . . . and they
don’t even have to label it on the meat,” Miller said, according to Return to Now. “Our
members don’t want any of that,” Miller added, referring to his 4,000 private
food club members who pay top dollar for his “adulterated” products. “They want
fresh, raw meat, with no additives. Our members want it straight from the farm
with no preservatives on it.”
The USDA also forbids its licensed processing plants to sell
certain organs which Miller says are “nutrient-dense" and beneficial for
consumption.
Furthermore, the process and cost of becoming licensed by
the USDA are too prohibitive to small farmers.
“The rules and regulations are such that you have to get
into debt $100,000 before you ever sell your first pound of meat, and the
market’s not guaranteed,” Miller said. “There’s no option for farmers to start
small and add on and buy equipment as they can.”
The federal government brought a lawsuit against Miller, who
was ordered to submit his facilities, meat and poultry inventory, records,
employees, and other staff for inspection. When he refused to “fully
cooperate,” according to the court’s appointed inspector,
Miller was raided by US Marshals who were authorized to use “reasonable force”
including “the authority to break open locks, to remove barriers to entry, and
physically to remove persons from the Premises.”
The court also imposed a $300,000 fine on Miller, which
would be used to reimburse the US Marshals for the raid they carried out
and to cover the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) investigative
costs. The court demanded a “good faith” payment of $50,000 in one week.
But Miller, with the help of attorney Robert Barnes, managed
to score a victory in the US Court of Appeals, which placed the case in stay
and abeyance and allows the farmer to continue selling his stored meat until a
resolution is reached. The court also cut Miller’s fine to $55,000, payable
over the next six months.
"I think this is an important story,” commented human
rights leader and America’s Frontline Doctors Founder Dr. Simone Gold. “One:
the attack on our freedoms is EVERYWHERE. Schools, doctors, food. Two:
saving our freedom requires every ‘little’ person to say no! Three: our
government agencies take regulations and distort and expand them beyond all
recognition to control and curtail every aspect of our freedom. Prosecutors
used USDA regs to shut down a small farmer! The government can always destroy
any single individual if it chooses. We must refuse.” [Bold text
