1. Not if they were behind it.
Honestly, I wouldn't put it past this group to kill puppies and kittens. x( Bastards.

2. V-Vendetta anyone?
I have my conspiracy hat on with you....:tinfoilhat:

I am telling you this administration will do anything to hold onto their power. Would they be willing to mess with our food supply to retain control? Absolutely..

What's most interesting is that I have Republican friends (the few that remain my friend) that are starting to be concerned about our food supply.

4. I don't think they were behind it...
but they (the Bush Administration) were definitely negligent -- in not testing all food and pet food supplies 24/7 days a week. If they were doing there job, none of the pets would of been poisoned.

7. I wonder if they have an intern doing the tasting.
:eyes: Perhaps Bill Frist supplies cats for food tasters?

9. Amazing...
that after 9/11; they can spend billions going to war, but cannot spend a minimal amount of money to protect the human and pet food supply. All they have to do is test all the food -- before, it is sold on the market.

15. yes, but doing that would be tantamount to implying that the government can do anything useful
That always seems to be their mantra...that government can't do anything well. (sure seems to serve THEM well...)

10. They are protecting ADM, Cargill, Agland and all their other buddies
Each of these companies (and others )supply wheat gluten for BOTH human and pet consumption.

As for the NY Times article... where were they 5 years ago when all of us who live in
lower Manhattan were suffering nosebleeds, sore throats, coughs and all kinds off
other ailments while the government told us everything was all right ???!!!
We were howling then and everyone believed big brother was protecting us. Geez.

So... is our food chain poisoned?? Well, given the admins record for honesty and the shadiness
in which this whole thing is being approached... I seriously suspect it is.
Call it tinfoil or call it caution...I don't believe these republican fucks for one second.

And any real journalist would be pounding on every corporate door to get to the bottom of this.
Seriously.. who's to say this poison is not in our bread ????????

14. I agree...
I live around where the Towers fell; and I never believed the official story from day one -- that the air was safe. I had the windows closed to my apartment, and my air filter running -- and what I noticed is that I had to clean it almost every day, because it was full of silver dust. I usually would have to clean it once a month, and the dirt/dust was black.

12. Absolutely!
Anything to hike up the fear and insecurity quotient among the populace!
I can hear Caligula now: "We've GOT TO approve more money for I-rack, otherwise those evildoers will start to poison our goldfish and parakeets! To honor the memory of all those brave Amurkan pets who were lost because those terraists hate us for our freedoms ... Congress has to allow me to continue my mission to free I-rack ..."

20. More than 30 million hectares (74,131,614 acres) of farmland were applied with...rat poison...
POISONED PET FOOD:
HOLD THE MSG PLEASE!
By: Daniel Sargis

http://www.etherzone.com/2007/sarg033007.shtml">Link

With more foresight than our government security bureaucracy, Jason Pate and Gavin Cameron wrote the discussion paper, Covert Biological Weapons Attacks against Agricultural Targets, in August of 2001...just one month before 9-11.

They stated that, “U.S. agriculture is vulnerable to attack using biological (and chemical) weapons, and arguably this vulnerability, as well as the theoreticalease of carrying out such attacks covertly, makes agricultural targets particularly appealing to Terrorists”.

Ironically, “In the mid-1990s, a farmer in China used rat poison to kill twelve of his neighbors’ water buffalo, along with four of his neighbors....”

The real question here is how did the rat poison get into the wheat gluten?
