(NaturalNews) Thanks to the extraordinarily cruel and vindictive actions of the LA County and Ventura County District Attorneys' offices, California is rapidly losing its reputation as a state that promotes a healthy lifestyle. Instead, the state is becoming increasingly known as "the torture state" where senior citizen farmers and fresh food advocates are imprisoned, tortured, and charged with felony crimes for making fresh milk available to customers. See our astonishing report on California's latest assault on a 65-year-old "milk man" at:

France, on the other hand, has embraced the health benefits of raw milk. There, innovative dairy farmer Michel Cantaloube has created a raw milk vending machine(see photo below). The vending machine is a tastefully-designed kiosk that blends right into the urban setting, allowing it to be set up on a street corner on a French town or even a major metropolitan area.

Customers can purchase whatever quantity of raw milk they wish, and unlike in the United States, they don't even have to go through the bizarre paperwork of owning a "cow share."

California declares war on raw dairy farmers

Back in Los Angeles, raw dairy farmer Sharon Palmer has been slapped with 38 felony counts drummed up by the county, which has a rogue DA office running a campaign of personal revenge against dairy farmers. Driven into near-bankruptcy by the fines and legal fees, Palmer has been unable to repay farm investors as planned, so when her repayments fell behind, the county charged her with financial fraud.

Keep in mind that when MF Global's Jon Corzine stole billions of dollars from investors, he was never even charged with a crime. When Wall Street giants like Goldman Sachs went broke making bad beds with other people's money, the United States government gave them a trillion-dollar bailout! But when a small, organic raw milk farmer in California runs into financial trouble caused by the state itself, they get charged with 38 felony counts of fraud.

James Stewart, the 65-year-old "milk man" from California, was arrested nine days ago for the crime of merely "knowing" Sharon Palmer. His bail was set at the astonishing level of $1 million -- an amount rarely used even for rapists and murderers. (Sharon's bail was set at $2 million!) He was then subjected to extreme torture that nearly killed him in an LA County jail. This included food deprivation, sleep deprivation, hypothermia, interrogation, verbal intimidation and even flooding his jail cell with raw human sewage and forcing him to clean out the raw sewage himself.

So in France, raw milk is happily sold in vending machines on street corners, but in California -- a state which used to represent a healthy, happy lifestyle -- raw milk advocates are targeted by the state as criminals, then subjected to personal vengeance campaigns run by the DA's office.

France = the "healthy food nation" of raw milk and red wine.

California = the "torture state" of total government brutality and oppression of farmers, along with the torture of raw dairy advocates.

Here's the picture of the raw milk vending machine in France:

Let's get rid of the need for money! I may sound like a broken record here but the fact is, SOOOO many problems would be solved by removing the soil (money) in which the root of all evil (the LOVE of money) grows, that this information is suitable for virtually all the topics We address here.

We need free energy. Money is merely the representation of meaningful energy expended in an energy-scarce society; add abundant free energy and the need for money dissipates. And We have technologies for this NOW - have had for at least 50 years. But the power elite suppress and hide these technologies because They know that removing the need for money though free energy will eliminate the control over Others money affords.

Let's pass the word to as many as We can, letting them know that We CAN take that control away. Please sign My petition, and send the link out wherever You might:

Seriously, PLEASE pass this on far and wide!

My sales to human customers were all by referrals from Doctors...mostly Pediatricians and allergy specialists. After the law was passed, I liquidated my herd and kept only about 30 Milk Goats. I would still sell to the people referred by Pediatricians, because raw goat's milk was a life saver for many babies. However, the Doctor had to place a personal call to let me know he was sending someone to my farm, give me the patients name, and the reason for using raw milk. Even then, I had large labels printed up that said, "This milk is not fit for Human Consumption." People would drive in and say, "Dr. So-And-So said that you would sell me milk for my DOG Spot." When I produced the milk many would immediately pour the milk into a baby bottle and feed it to a baby that looked to be anemic and starving to death, and always fussy and crying. Poor Spot! When the people would return in a week or two, "Spot" always accompanied the parents. Fantastic improvement! A gain of several pounds, color in their cheeks, and a happy, smiling baby! So much for Government control! When Pediatricians and allergy specialists recommend Raw Milk, how is it that our Government knows better? I could quote story after story of former customers who survived only because of raw milk! Yes, I had my goats checked yearly for Undulant Fever and TB. They always tested negative and I used every precaution to keep my goats healthy, happy, and the milking area spotless, but the fact remains that Pasteurized milk is DEAD MILK! No enzines to help with digestion and no help with curtailing allergies. AND the beat goes on...while some humans are not thriving because of Government Control, Michele Obama is eating FRENCH FRIES, $100.00 an once steak, and admonishing children who do not eat their "Chicken Tenders." xm

Comment by ew_keane on March 12, 2012 at 8:56pm: when will jewel or meijer install one of these vendinmachines in their store?

Comment by Misteri on March 12, 2012 at 8:11pm: I am going to get my own vending source and name her Bessy. I feel empathy for Sharon Palmer and all the others that are to follow, but I can barely keep my own protected and a day off from hungry. What would you propose Don Cordell?

Comment by Don Cordell on March 12, 2012 at 6:48pm: Does anyone know how I can get in touch with Sharon Palmer? She needs help. We need to help her.

Comment by KingofthePaupers on March 12, 2012 at 6:39pm: Jct: Har har har har. Don't the yankees look stupid. Again and again and again. Oops, the yankees' government look stupid! After all, it's the government doing the stupid, just the people suffering it.

Comment by apeman2502 on March 12, 2012 at 6:26pm: Unless raw milk hs been proven responsible for France's inability to manufacture quality automoblies, i say it should be allowed and fine heavily those who put out a diseased dairy product. raw is better. The U.S. BANNED raw milk sales and just bailed out the French Peugeot autoworks for $400,000,000.00 of U.S. taxpayers' hardearned cash, to be repaid with useless scrip. What we have here is a campaign steeped in stupid.
