As we wrote several days ago, there is a battle going on between the American Farmer and the Obama regime. Barack Obama has turned the water off to the San Joaquin Valley of Central California, some of the most fertile farm land in the nation, and literally the nation’s food pantry.
Thanks to Barack Obama, unemployment in parts of the Valley is at 41 percent. Hard working American Farmers, Patriots, who have spent a lifetime growing our food, are now standing in lines for six and eight hours at a time to get canned goods from China just to survive!
This is a crime against humanity.
If you don’t know the story, here’s the deal. The Obama regime is using the excuse of a fish, a two inch bait fish, the Delta Smelt, which they claim is an “endangered species” to shut down all of the water to the San Joaquin Valley. They have created a modern day dust bowl out of some of the most beautiful farm land on earth. Some 400,000 acres have been destroyed with one million total acres in jeopardy.
This is not only a human tragedy, it’s a matter of national security.
A significant amount of America’s entire food supply has traditionally come from this Valley. According to the California Foundation For Agriculture In The Classroom, the percentage of our national food supply that comes from the San Joaquin Valley for the various crops are as follows:
Olives 100%
Almond 99%
Walnuts 99%
Figs 98%
Kiwi 97%
Pistachios 96%
Apricots 95%
Celery 94%
Tomatoes 94%
Broccoli 93%
Plums 93%
Nectarines 93%
Strawberries 90%
Carrots 89%
Lemons 89%
Grapes 88%
Garlic 86%
Avocados 84%
Dates 82%
Lettuce 78%
Peaches 76%
Honeydew 73%
Asparagus 55%
Cantaloupe 54%
Bell Peppers 47%
Onions 27%
Cabbage 22%
Milk and cream 21%
Artichokes 19%
Honey 18%
Spinach 18%
Looking at that list it seems fantastic that Obama and his democrat/communist party would even consider destroying this farmland and these Patriotic American Farmers. But as fantastic as it seems, every single democrat/communist in the United States Senate voted to table an amendment to the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010 that was offered up by Republican Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina.
You can see the results of this vote here.
Even more incredible, three Republicans joined the democrat/communist party in voting to destroy America. These absolute traitors to the nation are Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe from Maine, and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee.
And if you think calling these 61 members of the United States Senate traitors to the nation is harsh, then think again. Remember all of the food scares we have endured the last few years? Salmonella on fruits and vegetables has become a common occurrence. Why is this?
Well, it’s really pretty simple. We are having to import most of our fruits and vegetables from foreign countries. Why? Because the democrat/communist party has destroyed the American Farmer and his business. They have made it impossible for the Farmer to do his job, to grow our food for us.
That’s right, the democrat/communist party, the party that is constantly caterwauling about jobs going overseas has just turned the responsibility for growing our entire nation’s food supply over to a bunch of foreign countries who don’t have the same food safety standards that our Patriotic Farmers adhere to.
But why?
As I wrote my original story on this, it hit me like a ton of bricks, and it becomes even more clear each and every day. Anyone who has been paying even cursory attention to the so-called “green movement” knows it has been hijacked by communists, Marxists.
One of the leading groups is the Apollo Alliance.
You’ll note the Apollo Alliance’s logo is very similar to other Obama/ACORN affiliated groups.
We know of this group because of it’s very close ties to Barack Obama. Two of the closet people to Obama are the recently departed “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones, a self described communist revolutionary, and racist. But the other man intimately involved with Obama is Jeff Jones. (No relation to Van Jones) Jeff Jones wrote most of the nearly one trillion dollar stimulus bill that Congress passed and Obama signed into law without ever reading a single word.
Jeff Jones, along with another longtime Obama adviser and mentor, unrepentant murdering terrorist William Ayers co-founded the ultra-violent Weather Underground, a Marxist organization. Once these two murderers realized they couldn’t destroy America by blowing it up, they cut their hair, took baths, put on business suits, and infiltrated “respected” fields of endeavor.
William Ayers went into teaching, along with his convicted felon ex-wife, Bernardine Dohrn. These two are considered “respected educators,” teaching teachers how to teach your kids. Infecting young minds with tails of Marx and Lenin. Reason number 8448 to home school!
Jeff Jones chose another path. Jones saw the “green movement” and realized that it was an effective way to slowly institute a communist agenda on America, and use fear and guilt to do it. The greens have been telling fairy tails about “climate change” for a generation, and so far none of it has been true. In the 1970′s the coming ice age was all the rage. All of the major newsers of the day screamed in fear of global cooling, a new ice age that was coming our way. When that didn’t work out, they came up with “global warming” another hoax to end all hoaxes. Looking stupid, because the earth is actually cooling, they finally changed the name to “climate change” when they saw that they couldn’t fool enough people or scare enough to go along with their plans.
Funny thing, we’ve had one of the coolest two years in decades, and now they are revving up the “global cooling” fears again.
So what the hell does this have to do with Patriotic American Farmers in Central California?
Everything!
We talked about this before, but let’s break it all down again.
What do we always hear from Obama and all of his communist cohorts? “Social justice.” “Re-distributive change.” Obama has constantly talked about. Here is Obama in a 2001 Chicago radio interview where he called the Constitution “flawed” because it didn’t address the re-distribution of wealth.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need
Karl Marx
Now when Conservatives heard this communist nonsense coming out of Obama’s mouth we instinctively knew this guy was trouble, but unfortunately, this isn’t just about re-distributing wealth here in America. If only.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

Steph C (Diary) Thursday, September 24th at 7:12AM EST (link)It’s about self-love. It’s about rescuing. The whole Democratic party depends on being able to rescue the needy. They are so wrapped up in their “cause” of rescuing they don’t see or understand how things work because that is “unnecessary” information. In order to keep that up, there have to be people to rescue.
They’re replaced these farmers’ livelihoods with canned goods… they rescued them. Never mind they created the conditions in which those farmers HAD to be rescued. They can’t see themselves in terms of having created the disasters that required others to be rescued.
While those at the top, such as George Soros, know full well what is happening and why, the average Democrat doesn’t have the reasoning capacity or outside the self vision to see it so they think they’re doing something great and wonderful and grand. They’ve saved the fishies and the farmers in their minds which makes them the useful idiots of Soros and company’s army.
Soros and company are truly evil. To kill a snake you first have to chop off its head or smash it. Either way works fine with me.

avgamerican (Diary) Thursday, September 24th at 2:22AM EST (link)But John McCain thought “He’s a good man, I simply disagree with him.” Most United States citizens have ignored the real debate for decades. It is the democrat communist party and their republican enablers as you have laid out. It’s in our schools. In our courts. In our state and federal governments. All bowing to a globalist agenda to reduce the United States to a third world country and force it’s citizens into a socialist poppery. Independents and moderates are clueless. They think they can play both sides of the aisle. This is more than tax and spend. This is freedom. It’s our way of life, our country and our children. It’s the food in your refrigerator and in your cupboard. Americans now have to ask themselves this question. What happens if the food imports get cut off? Now that they have voted all this power to the government over themselves, do they really think the government is going to give back the power to the people if they don’t like how it turns out?

RoguePolitics (Diary) Thursday, September 24th at 12:27PM EST (link)Only issue I have is the word INCREDIBLE.
Defined as:
1. so extraordinary as to seem impossible.
2. not credible; hard to believe; unbelievable.
Synonyms
flimsy
improbable
inconceivable
shaky
thin
unbelievable
unconceivable
Why is it impossible to believe anything the left does? Incredible would be tax cuts. Incredible would be drill here, drill now. Incredible would be Barney Frank voting to defund a child sex slave ring enabler. (Of course he has experience in the prostitution racket and may need ACORN advice himself one day)
What is the source of our mental block that causes us to deny the left is actually and actively working on the destruction of America?
The evidence is overwhelming and yet most are afraid to call them something as innocuous as unpatriotic.
UNPATRIOTIC????
I think wanting to destroy 200+ years of liberty and prosperity is a little beyond unpatriotic.

aesthete (Diary) Thursday, September 24th at 2:38PM EST (link)From what I read (about a 1/4), the diary seemed good and its content sound, but without having read the OP in its entirety, I can’t in good faith recommend it for others to read.
@Gary: As a word of advice, I think that working on brevity would help with your OPs. I think you’re a decent writer, but a lot of your content is, IMO, superfluous, and detracts from your main points. I (and others reading RS, I’m sure) just don’t have the time to read diary entries that are that ginormous. That limits your audience to those who have the time to read such a massive submission, and deprives potential readers the benefits that could be gained from reading your OP.

California is the end result of the diverse agendas of the left. Not so much conspiracy as incompetence.
archer52 Saturday, September 26th at 12:29PM EST (link)I’ve posted this link to my “agenda game” column before. The reason I do it again is for brevity. The point of the column is that we are seeing the “perfect storm” of liberalism’s generations long effort to undermine our nation. However, it is not a vast conspiracy as it is separate agendas working towards goals that have a similar outcome. Now they will act in concert if their agendas mesh, but in general they are acting out their own selfish interests.

You have La Raza representing the Hispanic community with its agenda, liberal and sometimes just spooky. At the same time you have the eco-nuts running amok in California screaming about everything from guppies to top soil erosion to nuclear power.
Here the eco’s are partially responsible for tens of thousand of Hispanic workers losing money. Two liberal causes one negatively impacting the other, doesn’t sound like a well oiled conspiracy at all and its not. So, how are they doing so much damage?
As I worked through this conflict I spoke with a good friend you knock some of the glaze off the surface so I could see better. He pointed out the liberals are basically in two camps. One camp is centered around the Chicago/Midwest area and are the group that is serving unions and certain businesses (GE for example, Goldman Sachs for another). These guys are the “horse head in the bed” crew. You don’t see the eco-variation of Jimmy Hoffa disappearing in California, because that isn’t their style. On the other hand, you have the coastie liberals, and they are the eco nuts, tree huggers and soft communists/socialists that think we should drive electric cars, reduce our population and footprint on the earth because it is more important.
How are they different? Let’s take the anti-whaling effort. The coasties would hold conferences, sit ins, put stickers on their cars in protest. They would fund ships that would go out and get in the way of the whaling ships hoping to drive off the whales.
The Chicago Machine would demand the whaling industry would unionize to increase incoming funds from dues. They would demand more than equal representation of minorities and also insist the whaling industry fund “research” into the impact to be done by the cousin of one of the union leaders or a politician. They would demand higher taxes to be paid, fines to be levied if the industry did not comply with the mandates set by the Congress. They would continue to rob the industry of its money until it collapsed and then insist the government bail it out.
The coastie’s would be upset about the continued whaling but would be placated by the other liberals with higher efficient engines in the ships and bio-degradable lines made of hemp fiber on the harpoon.
In the end, the market couldn’t afford the products, the whalers would quit and the rest of the country would go, “What the heck just happened?”
The wild card is Obama. His appearance on the scene was not by accident. His intent is unclear but his success has emboldened the left and allowed us to see part of the hand. This is a good thing. The bad thing is the radical Chicago Machine may feel it is now or never to “hit the bank” so to speak. The next year will tell how his other three years will go. Be vigilant, aggressive and refuse to back up an inch. If you do, that crew will steal it, regulate it, tax it and demand more.
