Pitchfork-wielding Virginia farmers rallied to support a woman who claims local officials came down on her for, among other things, hosting a children's birthday party on her spread.

Martha Boneta, owner of Liberty Farms in the northern village of Paris, was threatened with nearly $5,000 in fines for selling produce and crafts and throwing unlicensed events, including a birthday party for her best friend's child. She told FoxNews.com she wasn't doing anything farmers haven't done for generations, and at a recent zoning board meeting, her agrarian friends literally showed up with pitchforks to express their support.

“It’s rather odd that I’m the only farmer in the county having these issues,” Boneta said. “It’s customary to do these things. It’s done through on farms throughout Virginia to help farming and agriculture.”

Boneta was told that she did not have the proper event permits for the party and other events, including wine tastings, craft workshops, and pumpkin carving.

“Why I would need a permit for a pumpkin carving?” she said.

Boneta was also threatened with fines for selling produce and products not grown or made on the 70-acre farm in a small store she operated on....Read more

Of course it does, and that is precisely the point of what the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors are doing: taxing and regulating the small farmers out of business, which will eliminate any competition to Big Ag. Then, once the small farmers are bankrupted and their property sold or confiscated, the land can be cleared of "useless eaters" in accordance with Agenda 21.
It appears the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors have no compunction about violating their code of ethics which requires their actions be impartial and fair, as well as constitutional.
Mr. R. Holder Trumbo, Jr, Mr. Chester W. Stribling, Mr. Peter B. Schwartz, Mr. D. Lee Sherbeyn, and Mr. Christopher N. Granger, here's my question for each one of you: Have you even read the U.S. Constitution with the original 13th amendment? If you had, you would know that many of your actions as government officials are unconstitutional.
And Mr. Schwartz, as an attorney, you are constitutionally ineligible for public office, and the only action which would be honorable on your part would be to resign from your county board position immediately.

They probably have a "sustaniable development commitee". All part of the implementation of the Agenda 21 plan and keeping the slaves in check.
