Our Troops Are Needed in Virginia


In April, Fauquier County threatened Martha Boneta, owner of a small farm in Paris, VA, with thousands of dollars in fines for a series of alleged violations, including hosting "an event" on her farm without obtaining a special events permit.

The event? A small birthday party for the 10-year old daughter of a close friend, Robin Verity.

Martha was also cited for selling produce directly to consumers from her farm without a license. But Ms. Boneta paid for and received a county-approved business license for a "retail farm shop" in June, 2011. However, just one month later, the county Board of Supervisors approved an amendment that restricted "farm sales", and began issuing citations to farmers in the area.

Farmers in the area believe this is a violation of Virginia's "Right to Farm Act", which bars governments from restricting the rights of farmers from earning a living, so they orchestrated a protest during Martha's Board of Zoning Appeals hearing on August 2nd, 2012.

Increasing economic freedom matters to people like Martha. But it also matters to consumers everywhere who should be free to choose the foods they want and buy directly from the farm that produced them.

P.S. Our troops are needed in Virginia to fight for our freedom. On second thought, if our troops were in Virginia, they'd be obeying orders to enforce the law of the ruling elite restricting Martha's freedoms, just as they are obeying orders overseas to enslave others around the world to the same ruling elite that rules us here.

Every year that passes with the jew in control the US becomes more like the former (also jew-controlled) USSR. Totalitarianism, slavery and genocide are as kosher as bagels. Small, independent white farmers(Kulaks)and businesses are anathema to the jew. Soon, the US will have its internal passports and GULAG too; it's the jew way.
