Thank you Leslie for this blog (originally posted on 9/27/2010) and in particular "Chewing On Food Safety: A National Conversation is Needed"!

It is now about four and two thirds of a year since the closing of La Milpa. I've found myself returning back to this piece of history by way of discovering "Proof that the federal courts are without judicial power" that was just published on the internet and that I have blogged on here:

I make mention there of La Milpa.

My discovery early this morning came to me by way of one of my private lists just several days after I had already received a more private announcement of this same "proof" through my membership as a student of the Organic Laws. In fact I had placed the task of my further due-diligence to verify everything referred to as the basis for this proof as my top priority in my ongoing studies of the Organic Laws.

I'm reasonably confident that you know that I share a like-minded sense of loss with you regarding the closing of La Milpa. I'm even more confident that you know of my disdain for trespasses made by governmental agencies upon the private lives of individuals who have not caused injury to other individuals - as that is our inherited "common law" and therefore most probably the very cornerstone in the American foundation of our freedom. As far as I know there was never ever any kind of claim of a "personal injury" that was ever attributed to Barry or any other individual concerned about La Milpa. I knew this back when the news first came to us about the La Milpa closing however it appeared that Barry was not reachable at that time. I was understanding of the situation yet - nevertheless - not at happy with the loss of this most unique individuality of a farm and especially its open and warmly inviting relationship with our community.

In my blog (linked above) I give credit to La Milpa and its closing as the decisive impetus for my enrollment into the Organic Laws course of study with Dr. Ed Rivera that officially began 12/11 although I had already been reading Dr. Rivera's blog posts before then and realizing that he had a much deeper understanding of the Law than any of my previous teachers over the preceding twenty-one years of study. Now with the "proof" that I mentioned above I can freely make reference to what is now in the public arena regarding findings of Dr. Rivera that were shared privately with his students. It is my intention to share these references in future posts at my "Son of Truth of Self" blog:

There are additional connections that I need to articulate in the future posts that show how the limitations of jurisdiction that we now can see on the Federal level extend to the local level. In brief - on the Federal level that jurisdiction is clearly limited as a proprietary jurisdiction. That means government regulation and enforcement is lawful only upon what government owns by way of its territories and in the case of Washington DC - it district. I need to identify cites to show how this same limitation extends to the corporate States, i.e. State of California and its Counties and Municipalities. Then I need to show that La Milpa was not government property or located within the limits of the corporate State but that it was located on private land in California - land that was not seeded to the Federal government and therefore not subject to the exclusive legislative jurisdiction of Congress or its subsidiaries (i.e. the State of California).
