Raw Food Raid: Armed Agents Bust Raw Milk & Cheese Sellers

[*] [/*]

Assault on independent health accelerates as retailers charged with conspiracy, ‘mislabeling cheese’
CONSOLIDATED UPDATE: Multiple sources have confirmed the fact that all three individuals arrested– James Stewart, Victoria Bloch and Sharon Palmer– are being charged with ‘conspiracy’ related to the sell of unpasteurized raw milk products.
This reportedly includes sections of the California Penal Code Section 182a. Additional charges may also be pending, including a charge of ‘mislabeling cheese’ for Sharon Palmer, was arrested during a raid of Healthy Family Farms. As video of the raid on Rawesome Foods (also raided in 2010) demonstrates, Feds not only seized cash and raw milk supplies (much of which was also dumped out) but also mangos and other fresh, organic produce. Activists have planned a protest tomorrow outside the L.A. County Courthouse to demand the release of the raw food retailers, each held on bonds reportedly exceeding $120,000.

August 3, 2011(NaturalNews) The raid on Rawesome Foods by a combined force of agents from the FDA, Dept of Agriculture, CDC and the LA County Sheriff’s office wasn’t the only SWAT-style armed raid that took place today. Sharon Palmer, a mom and owner of Healthy Family Farms was also arrested and taken to jail. A third woman, Victoria Bloch, the LA County liaison for the Weston A Price Foundation (www.WestonaPrice.org) , was also reportedly arrested, NaturalNews has learned.
All three are reportedly being charged with conspiracy to commit a crime. What crime? The “crime” of advocating raw milk for consumers!
As NaturalNews previously reported (http://www.naturalnews.com/033220_R…), the SWAT-style raid was conducted like a terrorist operation, where the cops immediately went after Rawesome’s cash and then began vandalizing and destroying the store’s entire inventory. This raid was an act of economic terrorism against a legitimate, ethical business selling wholesome, healthful products to a very happy group of members.

A massive public protest on the front steps of the LA courthouse is being planned for the morning of August 4th, where James Stewart has been promised a hearing before a judge. NaturalNews is calling on its readers and supporters to join in this protest to help send a message to the law enforcement tyrants that we will not tolerate our health food stores being terrorized by criminal cops and rogue federal agencies. We will announce the time and place of the protest as soon as we are provided the details. Watch for that announcement here on NaturalNews.com or on our Facebook page: http://www.Facebook.com/HealthRanger
Video coverage of the event is being provided by a contributing reporter whose name we will reveal after the video reports are filed (in order to protect him from possible oppression by L.A. law enforcement thugs).

We’ve also posted a CounterThink cartoon on this raw milk topic. You can view the cartoon at:
http://counterthink.com/Raw_Milk_Li…Spread the word, folks. Enough is enough! We must take a stand against this government-run campaign of terror against health food retailers. It is time to stop government-run terrorism against health food stores.
It’s time we fought back and let these criminals know we will not be treated like food slaves by a corrupt, criminally-run government that wishes to force everyone to drink DEAD MILK and DEAD CHEESE (which they know causes disease).
This is it, friends! Big Government has declared war on the innocent. The Obama administration, which has already gone out of its way to promote yet more GMOs in the food supply, is now overseeing government-sponsored terrorism against the health food movement. If you don’t take a stand against this, you might as well lay down, surrender to Big Brother, and eat your soylent green…

Thank you all for your sharing of these stories and your concerns. We are fighting for our basic rights and freedoms against a police state cabal of criminals who now run our federal government and will stop at nothing to turn innocent citizens into gulag prisoners.

Breaking news: Multi-agency armed raid hits Rawesome Foods, Healthy Family Farms for selling raw milk and cheeseMike Adams
Natural News
August 3, 2011(NaturalNews) This is a NaturalNews exclusive breaking news report. Please credit NaturalNews.com. A multi-agency SWAT-style armed raid was conducted this morning by helmet-wearing, gun-carrying enforcement agents from the LA County Sheriff’s Office, the FDA, the Dept. of Agriculture and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control).
Rawesome Foods, a private buying club offering wholesome, natural raw milk and raw cheese products (among other wholesome foods) is founded by James Stewart, a pioneer in bringing wholesome raw foods directly to consumers through a buying club. James was followed from his private residence by law enforcement, and when he entered his store, the raid was launched.
Law enforcement demanded that all customers (members) of the store vacate the premises, then they demanded to know how much cash James had at the store. When James explained the amount of cash he had at the store — which is used to purchase product for selling there — agents demanded to know why he had such an amount of cash and where it came from.
James was handcuffed, was NEVER read his rights and was stuffed into an UNMARKED car. While agents said they would leave behind a warrant, no one has yet had any opportunity to even see if such a warrant exists or if it is a complete warrant.
Note to NaturalNews readers: This was an ILLEGAL raid being conducted mob-style by government thugs who respect no law and no rights. This is an all-out war by the government against people who try to promote healthy raw and living foods.
James is now being held at the Pacific division police department at Centinela and Culver in Los Angeles. He is being held at $123,000 bail with no possibility of using bail bonds. Law enforcement has demanded that if he comes up with the money to cover bail, he must disclose to them all the sources of that money. (This is an illegal demand!)
Massive public protests are needed to teach these criminal law enforcement agencies that they cannot illegally arrest and persecute individuals merely for buying and selling raw milk and cheese. We are organizing a public protest day in cooperation with James. Please watch NaturalNews for an announcement of that. Story is developing…

You may donate right now at www.ConsumerWellness.org (100% of the donations go directly to James’ legal defense needs, the Consumer Wellness Center keeps nothing).
See this video of James Stewart talking about his farm:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foKg…Here’s background on Healthy Family Farms which was also targeted in the raid:
Healthy Family Farms in Santa Paula, California:
“Healthy Family Farms is a sustainable, pasture-based farming operation. We raise all our livestock on pasture. We raise all of our animals from birth. We do not feed any of our animals soy, choosing instead to feed animals as they are designed to be fed. This results in healthy, sturdy animals needing no hormones, antibiotics, or other artificial “enhancements.” We harvest our animals humanely by hand before they are delivered to the farmers markets. We never freeze our products. In addition to farmer’s markets sales, we have an active CSA, which offers discounts to our valued members.”

U.S. Debt Jumped $400 Billion in First Hours After Obama Signed Debt-Limit Bill Wednesday, August 03, 2011
By Terence P. Jeffrey President Barack Obama signs legislation increasing the federal government's debt limit on Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2011. (White House photo/Pete Souza)(CNSNews.com) - The debt of the federal government—as reported by the U.S. Treasury Department in the official Daily Treasury Statement—jumped by $400 billion on Tuesday afternoon within hours of when President Barack Obama signed the legislation that lifted the debt limit by as much as $2.4 trillion.
Every business day at 4:00 p.m., the Treasury publishes the Daily Treasury Statement, summarizing the U.S. government financial accounts as they stood as of the close of business on the previous day.
At 4:00 p.m this afternoon, the Treasury published the statement summarizes the accounts of the U.S. government as they stood as of the close of business yesterday, Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2011.

At the close of business Tuesday, the statement said, the debt subject to the limit was $14.694,000 trillion—an increase of $400 billion.
Shorlty after 1:00 p.m. yesterday, President Obama announced at the White House that Congress had passed the legislation increasing the debt limit. Shortly after that, the White House press secretary issued a statement saying the president had signed the bill.

Federal Borrowing Hurtles Past 100% MarkI guess it’s a good thing they lifted that debt ceiling. The U.S. Treasury promptly borrowed $238 billion, to raise our total debt to more than 100% of our gross domestic product:
The new borrowing took total public debt to $14.58 trillion, over end-2010 GDP of $14.53 trillion, and putting it in a league with highly indebted countries like Italy and Belgium. …
The last time US debt topped the size of its annual economy was in 1947 just after World War II.
It certainly is a good thing the Democrats didn’t give in to the terrorists who think we’re borrowing too much money!

Portland begging for takers at Centennial Mills This is pretty funny. Now Portland's mayor and his Melvin Mark buddy chairing the anemic Portland Development Commission are sending out open letters seeking "public service-minded investors" for failed PDC projects. This missive, about the bombed Centennial Mills project, has got two "iconic"s in it, including one "wonderfully iconic," which really shows the desperation.
Oh, and so you don't forget, do it by midnight tonight! "Please respond by 5:00 p.m., Friday, August 26, 2011." Act now and they'll throw in some ginsu knives.
