Jury Trial Victory for Local Farmer
The Alvin Schlangen (nutrient-dense foods) trial in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Date: 9/17/2012 12:24:59 AM ( 12 y ) ... viewed 2309 times In other posts at this blog it has been shown that the State Legislatures (in all fifty States within the United States of America) are limited by the Organic Laws as to the Lawful extent of their jurisdiction and that extends only upon the lands that are owned by the United States.
That is why there is an urgent need for the people of the several states to know the Organic Laws, which is also referred to in several posts at this blog.
Legislative acts that do not extend to private property are lawfully to be ignored by those free inhabitants who are living on their private lands.
Had the jury pool, in the case that follows, been fully informed of these truths there would be no concern as to a right determination on the part of the jury. However, whether or not the jury pool is fully informed of the Organic Laws, the limited jurisdiction of their State Legislature and the like will not be known until the jury speaks it's mind.

Jury Trial for Local Farmer
Minneapolis, MN --This week in a Minneapolis courtroom, Alvin Schlangen, a farmer from Freeport, MN, hears from a jury if he will serve jail time for connecting people with nutrient-dense foods. Alvin and other volunteers are part of a private food club that holds a lease on farm animals for food provisions. The arrangement serves to make a legal connection between farm food and city inhabitants.
The case the State is building against Schlangen dates back to June of 2010, when the Schlangen farm was searched following the raid and subsequent closure of the Traditional Foods Warehouse. In 2011, the MDA inspected Schlangen's farm vehicle without a warrant where the MDA then illegally seized food owned by the private food club. The food was valued at thousands of dollars.
The persecution of Alvin Schlangen is not an isolated case in the state of Minnesota. In May 2012, the MDA threatened several women whose homes serve as drop sites for food from another local farm. To peacefully protest the attack on local farmers including Alvin Schlangen, these women, along with their families and friends, rallied outside the government center in Minneapolis, citing an overreach of government in regard to their food supply.
At 9:00am on Monday, September 17th at the Hennepin County Courthouse, jury selection will begin. The trial is set to last for at least three days. Alvin faces four misdemeanor charges including the sale of raw milk and mislabeling of other foods. Schlangen maintains he is merely a volunteer in a private food club whose purpose is to bring farm-direct food to its members. Alvin's food club family, real food activists, and the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund stand in support Alvin Schlangen.
