Unhappy The Unseen Hand ?

Things that make ya go Hmmmmmmm?
Last year it was a big tomato scare.....poison tomatos in salsa.
The FDA investigation dragged out over nine months, finally pointing the finger at a Mexican producer; meanwhile independent farmers were plowing under their tomato crops; no market for suspicious produce.
FDA made no apology to those farmers nor offered any aid packages.
100's went bankrupt and defaulted farm loans, thousands of acres of farm land was now available CHEAP. The land was snapped up by giant agriculture firms such as Conagra.

Dateline: Jan 2009 [insert ticker tape noise here]
POISON PEANUTS; and right now those farmers are taking it on the chin, peanuts are selling for ....well.....peanuts.
And again 100's of independent farmers are seeing their farms in default, and as they fail and are seized by the banks, who has the funds & credit available to buy up the thousands of tillable acres?
Why giant agriculture firms of course, who else?
There is no doubt that the FDA investigation will drag on beyond spring planting season.

I'm not saying that the FDA is in bed with the agri-business, or has deliberate intentions
they are just SLOW.

However look beyond the face of the situation; who are really the controllers of the agri-businesses, certain names keep showing up thru history.
Bilderberg Group / Rockefeller / Ford Foundation / House of Orange

Well we don't have to worry about wheat and corn; I was just reading that over 75% of Kansas and Nebraska tillable acres are owned by agri-corporations;
I'll bet the bank there will never be a bread ecoli scare.
