Baylen Linnekin Talks Raw Milk Raids on Freedom Watch

[9971explorer]

This country and the world would be alot better if people would just learn to leave each other the Hell alone. You cannot say or do anything anymore without some busy body butting their nose in. I am having less and less tolerance for people that do not know their own business.

[stevewellz]

Raw Milk is illegal because it is bad for you,

but cigarettes and alcohol are legal because... ?

(I don't want to make cigs and booze illegal, just pointing out the holes in the logic)

[ahsido1]

That one cop looks like he has never held a gun before...

[Everett07630]

Comrade Obama's FDA has nothing better to do than go after organic raw milk farmers. The jackboot thugs in the video clip also seem to really enjoy pointing loaded firearms on unarmed people who in noway could legally be considered a dangerous / violent threat - itchy trigger fingers I guess.

[doc7474]

isn't pulling a gun on an Amish farmer about as bad as pulling a gun on an elderly woman in a nursing home? Talk about bad judgement!!

[kerberos623]

@Brajabu74 I bet no cop wants to raid a place that sells milk, but the foodlaw we have now says they have to. none of those raided have been dragged away at night, forced to dug a shallow grave and being shot in the head. To draw parallels to nazi's when one probably can change the FDA law with a bit of clever campaigning is distasteful to me. Me and you won't see eye to eye on this, and that's okay. I just hope people can work to change the wrong laws in a peaceful maner.

[TheTruthHurts732]

@yuriatayde

Go to rawmilkfacts. c o m and click on the health benefits tab and see if that changes your mind.

[1980PintoMan]

@yuriatayde Or you could do some research on raw milk. I would have agreed with you before I researched it and found out exactly what's going on with these farms. Then I think this raid will piss you off.

[wimscheers]

"breastmilk must be illegal by this logic" That's laughable. Tobacco must be illegal by this standard, I get that, but breast milk is just detached. In the end, it’s just the question what you want your government to protect you against. Should they prohibit? Or just inform? Should they stay out of it? Or are some small regulations appropriate? In short; if a Chinese company brings out a lead based child toy, should it be banned, labeled dangerous or left to the costumer to decide?

[carcabe]

How free are we when the federal government outlaws natural whole milk. totally nuts.  The message is that if we allowed anything it's not because we are free but because they haven't yet decided to outlaw it.

[EvilDandy]

Not so happy about the woman's sign, "Pasteurized Milk is Dead Milk".  The sign is not pro-liberty or pro-freedom, or anti-government nannyism. It's anti-pasteurized milk. It seems minor, but there is a subtle implied meaning there as if to say, "go ahead and ban what I don't like but not what I do like". Evil hippie logic. They get it wrong even when they're in the right.

[kimchidressagemama]

@EvilDandy But it's true.. pasteurized milk IS dead.

[NovaStarr]

@EvilDandy She means it literally though. All of the helpful and healthful enzymes and good components are killed in the pasteurization process.

[EvilDandy]

@EvilDandy I think you both missed my point completely. Raw milk could be from the breast of the goddess herself and pasteurized from the devil. It does not matter here. The issue and debate is about choice and not the virtues of one or the other. Once you get distracted and sidetracked then you've lost.

[stetsonwalker]

I was raised on raw milk, never got a bad batch! I am 52 and still healthy!

[MWChase]

What asshole cop really draws his gun on people selling milk? Is this a fucking communist country or what???

[rumco]

@MWChase Nope. Fascist.

[loszhor]

No wonder it took so long to find Osama, the government is spending all it's time looking for raw milk instead, ha!

[MsGeorgefranks]

Never thought I'd agree with "Fox News" on any topic, but "fresh milk" is good stuff if purchased from Weston A Price based groups. The cows are fed what nature intended and closely monitored for problems. On the one hand I don't want too many people having access to this food because it only takes one goofball to screw it up, but on the other hand it may be to my benefit as a bigger following is a louder voice. Hmmm...realmilk.com

[coffeebuzzz]

Pasteurization was a necessity in times when refrigeration and transportation were inefficient or non existent. Today, raw milk can be chilled instantly and transported quickly. Same here in Australia, although we don't use guns on farmers because we aren't warmongering violent arseholes.

[Aeschylus]

I'm totally on board with the libertarian objections (and the idea of policemen going in with weapons drawn is unbelieveable).

But one small quibble about the stuff itself (which, again, you should be totally free to buy): the comparison with raw chicken and fish is not a very good one, since those are sold in order to be cooked, while raw milk is sold that way in order not to be cooked.

[iamchillydogg]

@Aeschylus

Never heard of coddled milk?

[dskillz1]

Mount RPG's on the cows.

[RizeUpAgainstIt]

cracking down on the raw milk trade must be vital to fighting the global war on terror or else they wouldn't be burning our tax payer money.

[ObsenityofAtomicTech]

The law was written wrongly just as the so called patriot act was. The people we elect to congress do not know how to write a law. Lobbiest hand them bills and they vote on it. They do not conprehend how important the impact of wrong law making has! Today tests could be done to screen all foods for contamination. But much like medical, they treat non deseased food stuffs as if it was, just like medical people hand out anti biotic to healthy people.

[ObsenityofAtomicTech]

This story about the milk is all about the same gov criminals that are involved in the patenting of drugs for medical use, floride dumping into water suppies, the aids invention and distribution and the associated death to sexuallity, the eugenics movement now known as planned parent hood, NWO, Atomic bombs, Atomic steam engines , contraband plants,people, herbs. This is a gov that has as there leader now a world dictator though laws congress has passed one called patriot act.

[paco114]

I'm getting tired of this totalitarian government and its bullcrap.

[madass888]

To have safe raw milk, the milk has to be really fresh and it has to come from healthy cows. That might me a problem for big corporations. So they can't provide it and it's competing with their product. I bet there's a big lobby behind the ban of raw milk.

If there was no government food standards people will buy more food locally and more organic food. Big corporations have their reputation against them, so they need a government seal of approval to persuade the masses.

[LokiScoutSniper]

I think of the FDA every time I hear someone on the news got sick from E Coli from eating spinach or tomatoes. I say good looking out FDA. I think of my grandfather-in-law who is 94 years old and said when they passed this law back when he was a kid in Minnesota everyone in town went to specific farms where they still sold unpasteurized milk by the quart. He's healthy and 94 and drank that milk well into his twenties go figure.

[trapedd]

And what the hell are the police officers doing there and not questioning what they're actually doing?? (don't give me the "i'm just doing my job" shit)

[trapedd]

What the hell?

[jwka2001]

wtf is wrong with raw milk,, is there something in raw milk the NWO doesnt want us having?

[EuphrasieF]

@jwka2001

Not the amorphous "NWO" ... just mainstream food companies.

Pasteurization, like a lot of things, requires equipment. And when a standard requires purchasing capital or other expenses, it disadvantages smaller enterprises in favor of larger corporations, who can absorb the expense better. So regulations like mandatory pasteurization tilt the playing field in favor of larger companies.

[ustfu]

I don't need the government to tell me what I can ingest/inhale. It's my own fucking body and I have my own fucking insurance. Leave us alone!

[MilkDrinkerIntl]

I guess it sucks to live in the US!

[rockpwnsu]

Lmao if people want to drink raw milk let them it's their lives geez.

[yougiberishtube]

[Jotto999]

For an educated assessment of the dangers of raw milk, see C0nc0rdance's video on raw milk.

He also argues somewhat in favor of raw milk prohibition. I concluded that the health risks are pretty low, but more importantly, that people should decide for themselves if they want their milk raw or not. There is no reason the government should force us with guns to make certain decisions about a fairly low health risk. The private sector should handle such risks no problem.

[kerberos623]

I wish people would realise that it's NOT the police's decision to do these raids. That's up to the DA or higher based on a federal agency request. Anytime cops enter on a warrent they will go by procedure. That procedure is guns drawn until the building is secure. It looks bad yes, but as a cop you follow procedure. If you don't and something does go bad you can loose all your benefits,pension and so on if they find out that you didn't. If you wanna hate, hate the FDA,not the cop on the ground.

[jag10]

@kerberos623

Defending that type of procedural policy seems a wee bit thuggish in order to secure milk jugs.

Are the police officers so intolerant of lactose they need their guns drawn?

Seems like a certified letter or a phone call from the district attorney's office would suffice.

[wildcatlh]

@kerberos623 Whatever happened to *knock knock* "police, we have a warrant"? Do dairy farmers have a history of going in with guns blazing?

[Brajabu74]

@wildcatlh Amish Dairy Farmers? Uh, no. Police drawing down on Amish farmers is the pinnacle of their uselessness.

[kerberos623]

@wildcatlh If they didn't open the door to that, which seemed evident since the cops was inside the building going through it with no one in sight, you sweep the building. You never quite know what you are about to encounter, thus, gun , sweep , holster when secure.

[Brajabu74]

@kerberos623 I wish people would stop picking on the Nazi prison guards. They were simply following procedures. Why should they stand against authority if something is obviously wrong? Orders are orders. Pensions and benefits trumps morality. Humanity, decency and common sense be damned. The police and federal forces who rounded up the American Japanese are heroes who had a job to do. So what it was deny someone their freedom, property and civil rights? Stupid people need to stop questioning.

[kerberos623]

@Brajabu74 Godwins LAW in 1 - Flawless victory!

[Brajabu74]

@kerberos623 Agreed, so let's go into a another group of authoritarian scumbags. Stalin, the KGB and the east german stasi. Millions disappeared in the middle of the night. Is it Stalin's fault. Yes, but he would have gone no where had people simply applied a little freakin morality. The 'Nazi' thing is way overused, but in this case it's for a reason. It is so apropos. They had a constitution, rights, guns, and yet they did nothing. I guess we can identify but the end result still appalls us

[kerberos623]

@Brajabu74 Which naziguard would put their life on the line for any citizen? rescue kids from harm,help out at a trafficaccident, stop fraud? NONE. The cops do that every day. why have so many people on a liberterian channel stopped beliving in makeing political change and gone over to the "Only way I can change things is to shoot the police?". It saddens me to see people default to cops are nazi's everytime the cop on the beat have to enforce the law.

[Brajabu74]

@kerberos623 To answer your question, probably plenty. The Nazi's / Stassi or any other authoritarian tyrannical group sees what they are doing as heroic and if you question them or their authoritarian supporters, they are risking their lives daily. Yes, they probably directed traffic, and protected children. Fraud? With deadly efficiency. They had their supporters who were 'saddened' when people questioned their moral compass. To a lot of people they are heroes. History judges otherwise.

[Brajabu74]

@kerberos623 But the concept of 'shooting cops' is disregarding rule of law. When that fails, we're all screwed. The problem is at least partially you. People like you give them carte blanche and don't hold them to the higher standard they need to adhere. It's not their fault, in that you are correct. Too much responsibility and too little oversight. They are utilizing the endless authority you have handed them with a naive blind eye towards the inevitable. Power corrupts, absolute power.....

[kerberos623]

I don't give carte blanche, I hold them to a higher standard. but I do belive in a nation ruled by law, where people are protected. And I do belive most cops are in it to help, not oppress people.And IF a cop steps out of line and abuses the power granted in him, I belive they should be punished to the full extent of the law. If people don't like the law there are ways to change them legally.

[Brajabu74]

@kerberos623 When is it you haven't backed them? I'm going to bet never. If so, it's in your comment history. Look it up, prove me wrong. And what is that 'higher standard' exactly? Seems not pulling an armed raid for illegal milk against the Amish would be a pretty low standard. Common sense even. Police used to serve warrants without SWAT, and if yours is a higher standard, we'd all better get used to the prone position. How do you 'change' laws? Vocalize, call them outraise a stink. YouTube.

[ForTehNguyen]

dont be surprised if big dairy corporations are lobbying against raw milk. oh no not competition!

[yojimbo81]

@ForTehNguyen Sure but Obama is the one sending the goons.

[ForTehNguyen]

breastmilk must be illegal by this logic

[ilikemitchhedberg]

Wow, the Big Government is just so darn evil these days. Police and the Feds spend all their time on trivial, harmless matters such as milk, whilst they turn a blind eye to the growing threat of Islamo-Fascism and their desire to procure a weapon of mass destruction.

[ZombiedustXXX]

Unholstered and pointed pistols to confiscate raw milK? That is a disgusting act.

Food standards are good thing. People shouldn't sell "bathtub cheese" from a streetcorner shopping cart, but this is too much.

[Visfen]

@ZombiedustXXX Would you buy such cheese?

[ZombiedustXXX]

@Visfen Myself, no way.

[Visfen]

@ZombiedustXXX Then why do we need government forcing food standards?

Standards by themselves should be an industry, there's ranging ideas, philosophies and more importantly - preferences.

[ZombiedustXXX]

@Visfen I'm not an idealogue who lives in a vacuum. Reasonable food standards are necessary. I have no problem with co-ops getting together and selling raw milk to those who prefer it, but should random illegal aliens pushing stolen shopping carts selling bathtub cheese have free range to do whatever they please?

[Visfen]

@ZombiedustXXX Yes, they should, because nobody would be dumb enough to buy from them and nothing that involves a governmental entity for food standards would in any way limit such ridiculous behavior.

Besides, reasonable is entirely subjective. So what you might think is reasonable might be something that someone else entirely disagrees with.

So I say, as most people want standards on their food, that there will be standards on food but there will not be a government monopoly on what they are

[ZombiedustXXX]

@Visfen Google: bathtub cheese

Perhaps we can agree that the biggest threat to public health would be for the US gov't. to be in charge of distributing bathtub cheese.

You are a thinking person. Thankyou. :)

[Visfen]

@ZombiedustXXX So that proves that the current system doesn't work, people assume it is tested because that is what the government is there for. Otherwise people would look for some stamp from some private regulatory agency.

Well, thank you too.

[Sasquatch7foot]

You know things are really messed up when they go after farmers for selling raw milk!!! What's next.........

[Buergs323]

I know how to protect myself better than the government knows. GTFO government!

[hejcoze]

Libertarians. *facepalm*



[youvefoundit]

@hejcoze Muse are libertarians

[Visfen]

@hejcoze idiots *facepalm*

[DackIsBack]

FDA = Feeding Death to Americans.

[tangledweb79]

@DackIsBack Nice.

[usergently]

And those shitheads made it great and o.k. to give you mercury vaccines!

[DackIsBack]

@usergently Not to mention that 100% of vaccine cultures are made with raw egg whites...

[usergently]

FDA bastards!

[rtj3184]

If I were a dairy farmer my advertisements would say:

"Free Raw Milk, Gallon Jugs for Sale"

[amyntazoe]

@rtj3184 Thats good!

[ZombiedustXXX]

@rtj3184 That might be a legitimate end-run for a short while.

In the 19th century, nine-pins was outlawed over much of the US, so Americans added one more pin to make this bowling a legal game of ten-pins bowling!

[yakyakyak69]

Statists use the EXCUSE of keeping us "safe" to keep us enslaved to the State.

Who will keep us "Safe" from Statist Tyranny? (Smith & Wesson, Colt, Ruger?)

Watch: “Statism's Assembly Line” here on YouTube

[RogueSwordThesco]

They really need to play cops and robbers with guns to confiscate Milk?

It's not like there's some sort of Raw Milk Cartel that has gangs protecting it. Come on
