Rep. Massie warns about fed plan to electronically track all U.S. cattle to stymie beef production
Hidden deep within the new omnibus bill is a secret provision to allow the federal government to electronically track all cattle in the United States.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) warned about the hidden provision on X, stating that lobbyists will receive $15 million in taxpayer funds to unleash the electronic tracking grid on the nation's meat-producing cows and bison.

As stated directly from the omnibus, the agreement "directs the Department to continue to provide the tags and related infrastructure needed to comply with the Federal Animal Disease Traceability rule (9 CFR 86), including no less than $15,000,000 for electronic identification (EID) tags and related infrastructure needed for stakeholders to comply with the proposed rule, 'Use of Electronic Identification Eartags as Official Identification in Cattle and Bison' (88 FR 3320), should that rule be finalized."

None of this, warned Rep. Massie is legal. And yet, the near-total apathy of the American people these days means these kinds of things are easily passable without so much as a peep from the wider constituency. ...

... Even more ominous was a warning that attorney Thomas Renz put in response to Rep. Massie's tweet about the implications of the electronic ear tag scheme on food safety.

"It will also be used to ensure the introduction of genetics modifying vaccines on a universal basis into the food supply," Renz wrote about the scheme. "This is not just about limiting beef output ... it's about ensuring the beef available has mRNA vaccines in it." ......
