Following the FDA’s lengthy persecution of an Amish man in Kentucky, a judge has meted out an outrageous prison sentence for the herbal salve maker despite the fact no victims were shown to have ever been harmed by his salves. Once again, pharmaceutical companies, as represented by the FDA, have won out over a peaceful citizen of the United States.

LEXINGTON, Ky. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s decade-long persecution of an Amish man whose family enterprise specializes in the manufacture of home-made salves reached a disturbing conclusion on June 30 in the U.S. district court in Lexington, Ky., when he was sentenced to six years in prison for the crime of “mislabeling” and selling a natural remedy.

LEXINGTON â A former teacher from Berea was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to child pornography.
Larry Dale Foley, Jr., 49, was sentenced to 360 months in federal prison, before Chief U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves, after previously pleading guilty to producing child pornography.
According to Foleyâs plea agreement and other court records, a tip submitted to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, from Tumblr, showed that a blog that Foley owned had distributed 46 images and two videos of child pornography.
On Jan. 6, law enforcement searched Foleyâs residence and seized electronic devices that contained child pornography. Foley was arrested and has been held in federal custody since that time.
