To all my friends out there who know what’s really going on… To all my conspiracy theorist friends…
Yes, sometimes it’s a curse and not always a blessing to be awake.
Awakening is the most liberating, alienating, excruciating, empowering, lonely, confusing, freeing, frightening, expansive journey.
If you find yourself struggling as you try to process all this insanity, you are not alone.
No one talks about the darkness that accompanies awakening, or the GRIEF. Not only grieving the life and illusions you once had but the realization that almost everything you thought you once knew, is a LIE.
The beliefs you’ve held, people you’ve trusted, principles you were taught- ALL LIES. Shattering illusions is RARELY an enjoyable experience.
There is a considerable amount of discomfort that comes with growth and the grieving process doesn’t stop there.
With these newfound realizations, you then find yourself grieving all over again. Grieving the loss of many relationships with people who just don’t “get it”. Feeling alone; being ridiculed and shamed, not only by the masses but for many of you, your very own family and friends too.
Feeling like you no longer have much in common with the people you are surrounded by.
Struggling with carrying on bullshit, shallow conversations that lack substance with those who are still fast asleep.
Even feeling disconnected from your entire support system because they can’t see what you see.
Some even grieve the loss of their ignorance- because “ignorance is bliss” and reality is harsh.
Awakening can be a lonely road and you will often find yourself journeying alone.
There is no way to sugarcoat it- Awakening to the realities of this world is brutal. It will have you running through the entire gamut of human emotions.
You have to master the art of diving down the darkest of rabbit holes only to come out and still function in daily life, and that’s a skill people don’t talk about enough.
Some of you are struggling with feeling disconnected from family and friends, it’s as though they exist in another world.
Please know you are not alone, and not only are you not alone, you have an entire tribe standing with you.
We may be separated by miles, but we are DEEPLY connected; in purpose and in spirit.
MONOPOLIES ARE EVERYWHERE
Consolidation and monopoly power are not limited to America’s beef industry.
Fifth generation Texas cattle rancher Shad Sullivan tells Lara Logan that the same forces affecting ranchers can be seen across agriculture and other American industries, from fertilizer and food retail to technology.
Shad argues that at the center of this consolidation is something even more valuable: data and the ability to influence both production and consumption.
Lara and Shad also discuss the federal investigation into alleged anticompetitive practices in the beef industry and scrutiny of major meatpackers and retailers.
In Episode 97 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, they examine who controls America’s beef supply, the decline of independent ranchers, foreign beef imports, country-of-origin labeling and what consolidation could mean for America’s food security and sovereignty.

WHERE DID YOUR BEEF COME FROM?
When you buy beef at the grocery store, do you actually know what country it came from?
Fifth generation Texas cattle rancher Shad Sullivan joins Lara Logan to explain Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) and why he believes American consumers should know whether the beef they are buying came from the United States or was imported from countries such as Mexico, Brazil or Argentina.
Shad explains how imported beef enters the United States with documentation identifying its country of origin, but changes made in 2015 ended federal mandatory country-of-origin labeling requirements for beef and pork at retail.
In Episode 97 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, Lara and Shad examine foreign beef imports, country-of-origin labeling, the concentration of the beef-processing industry, the decline of the American cattle herd, threats to private property rights and what the loss of independent ranchers could mean for America’s food security and sovereignty.

THE BEEF MONOPOLY IS UNDER INVESTIGATION
Ranchers are not getting richer, and consumers are not paying less. According to fifth generation Texas cattle rancher Shad Sullivan, the powerful corporations controlling the middle of America’s beef supply chain are the ones benefiting.
Shad tells Lara Logan that President Trump has ordered an investigation into the nation’s largest meatpackers and that the investigation is now extending to major retailers.
In Episode 97 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, Shad explains how four major meatpackers came to control approximately 85% of the beef-processing market while ranchers were forced off their land and consumers faced rising prices.
Lara and Shad also examine foreign beef imports, the elimination of mandatory country-of-origin labeling, the decline of the American cattle herd, threats to private property rights and what the loss of independent ranchers could mean for America’s food security and sovereignty.

https://bit.ly/goingrogue-ep93
Steve Hilton, Republican candidate for Governor of California, joins Going Rogue with Lara Logan to make the case that 16 years of one-party Democratic rule has driven one of America’s most powerful states into decline.
Hilton takes aim at homelessness, unemployment, poverty, the cost of living, lost opportunity and a hostile business climate, all while Californians face some of the highest taxes in the country.
He also confronts the record of his opponent, former Biden HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, and the crisis involving hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children who entered federal care. Hilton discusses allegations from whistleblowers that safeguards were stripped away, warnings were ignored and vulnerable children were placed at risk.
And Hilton lays out how he believes Republicans can actually win California: roughly 6 million votes, massive turnout, a serious ground game and a November voter ...
