SWAT Team Attacks Organic Okra And Strawberries: Food Fascism Growing

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


by Monica Davis

When we think of SWAT (Spel Weapons and Tactics) we usually think of armed maniacs with hostages, bank robberies gone wrong, or domestic violence situations. But that is not always the case. 

More often these days, SWAT teams are going after organic farmers. shutting down dairy operations, farms, and organic food operations.  Police agencies are raiding organic farms, claiming many are fronts for mariuana growing operations. And they are also being used in code enforcement operations.

It happned again in Texas. A massive nine hour  SWAT operation targeted  the Garden of Eden organic farm in Arlington, Texas with helicopters and a humongous SWAT operation. ”Somebody” said the farm was a front for a marijuana grow operatio, so SWAT showed up with all of its toys, including a helicopter.

In the 9 hour long raid, they found no marijuana. Here’s what happened:

farm owners and residents who live on the property told a Dallas-Ft. Worth NBC station that the real reason for the law enforcement exercise appears to have been code enforcement. The police seized “17 blackberry bushes, 15 okra plants, 14 tomatillo plants … native grasses and sunflowers,” after holding residents inside at gunpoint for at least a half-hour, property owner Shellie Smith said in a statement. The raid lasted about 10 hours, she said.

Many of these kinds of SWAT  operations are supported by surplus, military grade hardware–and the boys need to  justify having their toys. So they use them. Hence armored SWAT vehicles–military personnel vehicles–weaponry and military tactics used against organic farmers, dairy farmers and alleged marijuana grow operations.

It’s often a case of  we got the weapons, now we gotta use them to justify having them, as this angry citizen in the below shown video says.

      We need to stop looking at these armored thugs as citizens protecting and serving their communities. They’ve made it abundantly clear their job isn’t crime prevention or even public safety. It’s revenue and enforcement of Z.O.G.’s political will and vendettas.

      These are soldiers of Z.O.G., nothing more. Treat them accordingly.

    • Impeachment Now!

      Parents you can no longer teach your children to find a police man if they get into trouble. Tell them to call a family member, fireman or clergy. Tell them that if ask questions by the police man to only tell their name and family address and nothing else. The “police force” is no longer to be treated as a good force in society. The police have become part of the problem and never the solution.

      This article makes no mention of a marijuana seizure, so what kind of evidence is 17 blackberry bushes, 15 okra plants, 14 tomatillo plants … native grasses and sunflowers?

      Other than evidence that they intended to destroy these peoples livelihood? The offended parties should have to be awarded damages for this intrusion.

        that is precisely the point: “somebody” sed it was a weed growing operation–remember they had been battling code enforcement, weeds, trash supposedly; either one of their neighbors or somebodt from code enforcement may have called in a “tip” and the boyz in bloo wanted to use their toys. so after thr day long raid with helicopters and what not, they found no drugs because there were none :oops:
