When Will Our Overlords Outlaw Home Gardens?

Not much information remains in my memory from my days in law school; but, I have never been able to shake a frightening tidbit my constitution professor imparted to the class. When we were studying the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution he taught us that, during the (Democrat) Roosevelt Administration (1933-1945), a law* had been passed giving the federal government power over all the food Americans grow on their own property, even small vegetable gardens for family consumption. To be sure I understood the depths of this tyranny, I asked “Can the federal government confiscate or destroy my one tomato plant growing in a pot on my deck, and arrest me? His answer: “Yes.”

Lo these many years, over 40 now, I have had my eye out, ever watching and waiting for the day when our federal overlords would bring the hammer down on grandma’s vegetable garden or my neighbors’ ten chickens. I have been especially wary as the Biden Regime intentionally raised food prices 20+ percent, sending more & more Americans to food banks.

TO CONTROL THE MASSES LIMIT FOOD SUPPLY

In Wickard v. Filburn, the US Supreme Court ruled that, if someone grows and consumes their own food, regardless how minimal, they are “interfering” with interstate commerce, and are in violation of the Commerce Clause of the constitution which grants that power to the federal government. Say what? How? You may ask. The court reasoned that the person growing a tomato plant would otherwise be buying his food across state lines. Say what? The court can’t know that. They might buy their food from a farm in a neighboring county and/or a neighbor with a few chickens and a small vegetable patch.

The Commerce Clause refers to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, AMONG STATES, and with the Indian tribes,” NOT INSIDE A STATE. Anyone who can read English can see that the court in Wickard v. Filburn greatly expanded the power of the federal government beyond the limit placed upon it by the US Constitution.

Stalin starved to death one-third of the Ukrainian population (mostly farmers), in the 1930s in order to control the masses. Mao Zedong starved to death between 40-80 million peasants (historians disagree about the number) in the late 1950s & early 1960s.

BIDEN UNLEASHED

If Joe Biden is elected this November, the Marxist minions who control the White House will be unchained to do maximum damage to Americans’ freedoms, to America, and to Americans’ food supply. The destruction they wreaked these last three years was not caused by incompetence. They are already working on ways to reduce grazing land for cattle (see article below), and abusing small farmers.

I am not suggesting that the Biden Regime will begin a program of mass starvation. Too many Americans own guns. What I am suggesting is that the Biden Regime will continue to reduce our food supply, which will increase the cost of food, which will make ever more Americans dependent upon government handouts for basic sustenance, which will turn ever more Americans into compliant beggars.
