Food Banks are being Raided. If WT has one, it's probably underground and only for the FDS.
Seems the Powers That Be are coming down on those Armageddon stockpilers.
Some of this may or may not be true...you know how internet rumors go.
However, the people involved are not making any comments.
U.S. Gestapo Invades Home, Raids Popular Food Cooperative in Rural Ohio

Dec 10, 2008, 22:00Editor's Note: The Manna Storehouse is one of the latest victims of the militarized society that has been taking over life in the United States. As food prices soar, and organic foods have become more popular, people are increasingly buying their food locally. Thus, cooperatives like this have become the enemy of the big commercial food and agro industries which are supported by the U.S. government. The police are using food and licensing laws in this attack.
A SWAT team with semi-automatic rifles entered the private home of the Stowers family in LaGrange, Ohio, herded the family onto the couches in the living room, and kept guns trained on parents, children, infants and toddlers.

By MORNING JOURNAL STAFF - [email protected]PITTSFIELD TOWNSHIP — An Ohio Department of Agriculture agent seized food, electronic devices and documents from a Pittsfield Township organic and natural food cooperative believed to be unlicensed, according to a search warrant filed yesterday in Lorain County Common Pleas Court. Jacqueline and John Stowers, owners of the Manna Storehouse, 43565 SR 303, were inspected in November 2007 by the Lorain County General Health District, according to court records.
On Monday, ODA enforcement agent William Lesho confiscated hundreds of pounds of processed beef and large amounts of lamb, turkey and other perishable products in addition to office files, a computer, two cell phones and other electronic devices, according to the search warrant inventory. The items were taken to establish the Stowers' ownership in any property, records of hidden wealth or illegal income and anything that would establish illegal activity, according to the search warrant affidavit. Jacqueline Stowers declined to comment because she had not seen the court papers yesterday evening.
A health district sanitarian and two other inspectors visited the cooperative on Nov. 30, 2007, to make observations and were told to leave. Jacqueline Stowers wrote in a December 2007 letter to the sanitarian that the inspectors never had permission to be on their property and that the Manna Storehouse is not operating a retail food establishment that requires a license. "We declare now that we do not want to be a 'licensed retail food establishment' or a 'food service operation' and we do not plan to become one in the future and that we will not knowingly conduct any activities that would require that type of licensing," she wrote.
The matter was forwarded to the Lorain County Prosecutor's Office after the Lorain County General Health District received her letter, according to court records.
If WT can't make money on it, why would they even bother?
