Food Control Is People Control
In 1966, The John Birch Society exposed the hoax, driven by the federal government, that American farmers were overproducing food. Dan van Gorder exposed this in his book Ill Fares the Land: The Famine Planned for America, which was published by JBS affiliate Western Islands. A study of the facts revealed that a conspiracy had been constructed by communists in the federal government to shift the country to being more dependent upon food imports.
This began in earnest in 1933 with the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which allowed the federal government to buy agricultural surpluses and pay farmers to not grow crops, in an attempt to raise prices by limiting “overproduction.”
Van Gorder wrote, “The overproduction hoax was originated, not to help the farmer, but to weld the chains of slavery on him as the initial step in the socialization of the entire American economy.… It was devised, not by loyal defenders of constitutional government, but by a small group dominated by trained agents of Communist infiltration.”
