No one in my creation had ever witnessed disruptions to the supply chain in 2020. Those who believe in the power of self-reliance saw the need for us to take care of ourselves in a whole new light. Backyard planting began booming, along with an increased attention in raising animals.
Since therefore, efforts to balance personal- green habits have been threatened. Government intervention in regular, healthy behaviors is growing as a result of concerns about “public protection.”
My home discussed getting chickens while battling the epidemic by adding fruit trees to our already-growing vegetable garden. In a time of unparalleled meddling by the government, it provided a sense of calm.
The years to come came with a lot of relevant issues. In 2022, the U. S. Department of Agriculture ( USDA ) unveiled its” People’s Garden Initiative”. This urged Americans to enroll their yard, school, and neighborhood gardens and is still being presented as a valuable collaboration.
But if you read the full break, it improvements “equity” and another” DEI” and Green New Deal efforts that stink of a government acquisition. I have not registered my lawn because it belongs to me and is hardly anyone else’s company, like many other Americans who value their rights.
Then as avian flu is making headlines, concerns that” they’re coming for your birds” are being realized.
The Centers for Disease Control ( CDC ) acknowledged that” the current public health risk is low, but it also reported that more than 90 million detections have been made in wild birds and backyard and commercial flocks in 48 states.
However, in the fine print, they note that this amount was compiled over a two- time period and give no information on how the assessment was administered, how dangerous the virus is, or how many birds have recovered.
So once again, the quantities are being stacked to reproduce anxiety. Why?
A Need for Poultry
One of the determining factors that sparked more involvement in raising back animals was the rising price of eggs, according to Iowa State University in 2022. By 2023, The New York Times was calling these sheep “inflation animals”.
Bidenflation has continued to increase the cost of all essentials, making back poultry farming an essential commodity for some people. Like me.
This flower, my husband and I finally made the decision to begin our own congregation. We have five children, and ensuring that they have clear, healthy proteins is a must. Our efforts have paid off, and our species have turned out to be a very rewarding addition to our home.
The tension is relieved by the mere prospect of free eggs. We have desire. We’re looking forward to the future without worry or stress.
I have a lot of experience, having previously worked as a clinical helper and bird specialist. However, as article after article cries about animal virus, our peace of mind is gradually losing.
The Big, Bad Bird Scare
We should all be skeptical as to why the big, bad animal fright is being kept pushed.
Covid was constantly used to frighten people, despite the fact that it was never as dangerous as predicted and mainly affected senior people who are typically at chance for all illnesses. However, there have only been two cases of avian flu reported in the U.S. with no fatalities.
Two. Total. out of the millions of people. For an illness that has done virtually nothing, there is still a push for more testing and the development of two vaccines.
The situation is laughable. No one has yet reported any symptoms despite CBS’s recent report that dozens of dairy farm workers were being watched to see if they might develop some sort of symptoms as a result of their alleged exposure to the virus.
It appears as though the corporate media and their stringers are anticipating yet another pandemic. A poultry pandemic.
Chicken Tyranny
In the United Kingdom, they’ve already implemented a bird registry. Poultry papers, please.  ,
Anyone with 50 or more chickens must register their birds in accordance with this new rule. As crazy as this may seem to most Americans, it’s already happening in some areas of the U. S.
Residents of Maryland are required to register their poultry. Why? For the sake of safety, of course. In case of “disease”. No need to permit poultry owners and their veterinary professionals to follow that.
There is no chicken registry in Wisconsin; all that is required is that anyone who owns it register their property.
In that state, premises registration was developed in 2003. This is necessary for even small-scale hobby farms and chicken flocks. Chicken registries do exist, and the recent fear-mongering regarding avian flu is likely to encourage the passage of other similar laws, even though they are n’t the norm for Americans.
Ulterior Motives
Additionally, the most recent bird flu incident coincides with the movement by climate alarmists to stop people from eating meat.
The globalist oligarchy, the World Economic Forum, claims that eating “lots of meat” is bad for the environment, and Bloomberg noted that the 2023 Paris climate agreement is slated to curb our “excessive appetite for meat”.
Although the narrative surrounding meat consumption concentrates on the human carbon footprint, very few outlets are willing to share the devastating effects of malnourishment, which frequently arises as a result of a lack of meat consumption.
According to Saint Luke’s, a 2022 review of meatless diets published in the medical journal Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases found that veganism can lead to a bevy of deficiencies in vitamin B12, omega- 3, calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, and high- quality protein.
The report also concluded that these issues lead to cancer, stroke, bone fractures, preterm birth,  , hair loss, weak bones, muscle wasting, skin rashes, hypothyroidism, and anemia as well as an increased potential for depression and anxiety.
These kinds of deficiencies have been documented for years in both vegetarians and vegans.
Yet the “war on meat” continues to be waged in the corporate media without distinguishing between meat from family farmers or backyard chickens from factory-farm meat.
The Truth
The most recent attack on our chickens is based on the obsession with half-truths in the American media.
Vox just put out a piece claiming that the latest avian flu outbreak is” the worst bird flu outbreak in US history”, yet their source, the USDA, notes that out of the 378.5 million chickens in the United States, 2.73 million have supposedly been exposed.
That’s not even 1 % of chickens, and the numbers are highly disputed given that the USDA also claims that only eight backyard and eight commercial flocks have tested positive for bird flu as of writing this article.
I have no idea how millions of chickens across the country have been exposed when only 16 of their flocks have positive tests. I’d like to know how those flocks are doing.
Unfortunately, the infected birds were probably killed as a result of hysteria because it’s easier to worry about illness than to accept that we are just mortal beings who can take care of ourselves without having Mommy and Daddy Government’s advice to us.
Our leaders know that. They constantly use fear to bolster our fears. In 2020, they used it against us, and they will use it until we rely on ourselves and reject their manipulation.
Self-reliance removes power from those who want to be in charge. That’s why they do n’t want us facilitating our own food sources.
In 2020, we saw how many of our “leaders” are focused solely on control, and the most recent bird flu story cannot be used to justify the mistakes of our past.
