Bloody Hands Of Deception

It is so easy for everyone to sit back and run their mouths on any number of topics. Very few will actually have the ability to be slightly open minded and keep their mouth shut before they even bother to get down and dirty and do some research on their own first.

On that note, I am in fact doing my own research on a very hot topic right now, the illegal immigrants issue that is exploding across our nation. In a previous blog entitled "Good Bye Shelia", I was pushing as many folks as possible to watch the Oscar award winning documentary "Food Inc." while there was still a live stream on PBS.org which ended yesterday. Among other things it was brought to my attention during this documentary that certain meat packers here in America posted signs in Mexico for job opportunities in the United States working for them. So lets just take a peek shall we? The deeper you dig the same corporate names keep showing up, Tyson, Purdue, Nebraska Beef Inc., AgriProcessors, ConAgra and IBP to name a few. It is a very short list of companies that control the nations meat packing industry and alligations of immigrent trafficing go way back. For those of you not familiar with AgriProcessors they were/are the nations largest kosher meat packaging plant in the nation. The previous owners are now facing criminal charges over their employment, and treatment of undocumented workers.

So before everyone starts flipping out demanding identification from everyone that appears to be a shade of tan or brown, take a good hard look at where this started. That would be the major corporations that control the meat packing industry! They have bought and paid for the our hands are clean attitude they are maintaining. Their ongoing denial of their practices and their ability to slip through the Justice system time and time again is nothing short of remarkable. But I reiterate BOUGHT AND PAID FOR.....

If you think it does not trickle down into your life everyday you are mistaken. I have attached a few links of which there are far to many to list here. I suggest you do a little light reading from some of the links below, and by all means do your own research. Form your own opinion as this one is just mine......
