How do you keep the pharmaceutical and medical industries rolling in profits? Well, you use organinizations like WHO and FAO to cut nutrient guidelines to keep people ill. And you then support companies like Monsanto in owning your seeds, and not allowing you to save them.How do you keep the pharmaceutical and medical industries rolling in profits? Well,... more

HR 2749 was passed at the end of July.. Euphamistically titled "The Food Safety Enhancement Act" the bill is really just the codifying of Codex Alimentarius into US law. We have to be in full compliance by December 31, 2009. This bill will force the end to anything but industrialized corporate farming: meaning if you think your food isn't fit for human consumption now....wait and see what happens if this passes.
Like those vitamins and supplements you take to improve your health? You can kiss them goodbye too!
Codex provides that only big pharma can dispense those at useable levels. They could be hazardous! Unlike those toxic concoctions of pharmaceuticals that kill hundreds of thousands of people each year that the FDA says is an acceptable side affect.
Oh! And about the FDA......this same agency determined in 2007 by a Senate committee to be so corrupted by corporate funding and influence that it had become dysfunctinal on every level......they intend to make it bigger and expand its police powers.

As the deadline for full compliance to Codex Alimentarius looms, our government on both sides of what has become a non-existent isle, voted to pass HR 2749. This bill is an assault on family and independent farming and ranching to benefit and end competition with corporations and to force compliance to international standards and regulations.
This act is a codifying of Codex into US law.

(NaturalNews) Your right to eat healthy food and use supplements of your choice is rapidly vanishing, but every effort has been made to keep you in the dark about the coming nutricide. Codex Alimentarius is scheduled for full global implementation on December 31, 2009, and not a word has been spoken in main stream media about this threat to humanity. Yet, according to the projections based on figures from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a minimum of 3 billion people will die from the Codex mandated vitamin and mineral guideline alone.
Former Nazi is father of contemporary Codex
Codex is the enemy of everyone except those who will profit from it. Codex has an association with those who committed crimes during the Nazi regime. At the end of World War II, the Nuremberg tribunal judged Nazis who had committed horrendous crimes against humanity and sentenced them to prison terms. One of those found guilty was the president of the megalithic corporation I.G. Farben, Hermann Schmitz. His company was the largest chemical manufacturing enterprise in the world, and had extraordinary political and economic power and influence with the Hitlerian Nazi state. Farben produced the gas used in the Nazi gas chambers, and the steel for the railroads built to transport people to their deaths.(NaturalNews) Your right to eat healthy food and use supplements of your choice is... more

Excerpt From Article*---
The Dietary Substances Health and Education Act (DSHEA), was signed into law in 1994 for the purpose of ensuring that safe and appropriately labeled products would remain available to those who wanted to use them. In the findings associated with this law, Congress stated that there may be a positive relationship between sound dietary practice and good health, and a connection between dietary supplement use, reduced health-care expenses, and disease prevention. Under DSHEA, nutrients and herbs are classified as food. There is no upper limit set, and access is freely given. Americans are allowed to have any nutrients they want, because under English common law, anything that is not expressly forbidden is permitted.
Codex, on the other hand, is based on Napoleonic law under which anything not expressly permitted is forbidden. Therefore, only what is expressly allowed under Codex will be permitted, and everything else is forbidden. In 1994, the same year DSHEA was signed, Codex had nutrients declared to be toxic and poisonous. And as poisons, they claimed people must be protected from them through the use of toxicology and risk assessment, under which scientists test small doses on animals until they are able to discern an impact. They then take the first sign of the most minimal impact and divide this amount by 100 to establish a safety margin required from these poisons. This means that the largest dose of any nutrient allowed under Codex is 1/100th of the amount shown to produce the first discernable impact.
Nutrients allowed under codex are limited to those on the positive list, expected to contain only 18 nutrients, one of them being fluoride. Dr. Laibow points out that although fluoride has no biological benefit whatsoever, it does make people complacent.

Are you an ignorant consumer? Well, Codex bureaucrats and multinational corporations seeking to keep their profits rolling in through deception say you are as an excuse to keep you from knowing the truth about the toxic 'food' they are peddling. And the US once again takes the side of corporate profit over your health by actually using Codex 'protocol' as an excuse to keep you from your right to know what you are eating. if you truly want to know where this is all heading, research Codex Alimentarius and the plan to control your food.Are you an ignorant consumer?

(...) il Codex è un sistema intergovernativo, o per meglio dire, il Sistema Sovranazionale che codifica e controlla l’alimentazione planetaria.
Dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, nel 1945 nasce la FAO con lo scopo ufficiale di gestire e controllare la nutrizione e le norme alimentari internazionali, (il vero intendimento è controllare le popolazione mediante il controllo degli alimenti!)[7]
Il Codex da una parte è un’arma micidiale nelle mani delle lobbies agroalimentari, della chimica e farmaceutica (i cui proprietari sono gli stessi delle corporation delle armi, energia, telecomunicazioni, ecc.), dall’altra sarà lo strumento principe del mercato globale, quindi nelle mani della stessa Élite dominante.
Se per esempio il Codex definisce i “supplementi nutrizionali”, gli “integratori vitaminici” come delle “tossine” invece di semplici alimenti, sarà possibile imporre (per legge) una soglia “minima di dannosità”.(...) il Codex è un sistema intergovernativo, o per meglio dire, il Sistema... more

They may be moving to do so but they are coming up against much resistance from farmers, consumers, and various organizations that see their patenting of seeds for what it is: a move to control food and water to exploit the poor and this planet for profit.The encouraging news is that more people every day are waking up to the truth about our food and buying locally, growing food themselves, and fighting back. And we must fight back. Our future depends on it.
From article:
New report warns of corporate concentration, commodification of nature; highlights global resistance grounded in 'Food Sovereignty.'
ETC Group today releases a 48-page report, 'Who Owns Nature?' on corporate concentration in commercial food, farming, health and the strategic push to commodify the planet's remaining natural resources.
In a world where market research is becoming increasingly proprietary and pricey, ETC Group's report names names, discloses market share and provides top 10 industry rankings up and down the corporate food chain. Not all the corporations identified in ETC Group's new report are household names, but collectively they control a staggering share of the commercial products found on industrial farms, in our refrigerators and medicine cabinets.
An international advocacy organization based in Canada, ETC Group has been monitoring corporate power in the industrial life sciences for the past 30 years. The report reveals that:
From thousands of seed companies and public breeding institutions three decades ago, 10 companies now control more than two-thirds of global proprietary seed sales From dozens of pesticide companies three decades ago, 10 now control almost 90% of agrochemical sales worldwide From almost 1,000 biotech start-ups 15 years ago, 10 companies now account for three-quarters of industry revenues The top 10 pharmaceutical companies control 55% of the global drug market
With collapsing systems - eco, climate, food and financial - as the backdrop, Who Owns Nature? warns that, with engineering of living organisms at the nano-scale (a.k.a. synthetic biology), industry is setting the stage for a corporate grab that extends to all of nature.
'About one-quarter of the world's biomass has already been commodified, explains ETC Group's Pat Mooney.'With extreme genetic engineering, we're seeing new corporate strategies to capture and commodify the three-quarters of the world's biomass that has, until now, remained beyond the market economy.'
snip
Who Owns Nature? reports on daunting trends in corporate concentration and technology convergence, but it also points to a very different reality and a powerful contrast to the corporate-controlled life sciences. Although a single company - Monsanto - accounts for almost one-quarter of proprietary seed sales, about three-quarters of the world's farmers routinely save seed from their harvest and grow locally-bred varieties. Wal-Mart may be the world's largest buyer and seller of retail food, but 85% of global food is consumed close to where it is grown - much of it outside the formal market system.
'There is vast and growing resistance to the dislocation and devastation caused by the agro-industrial food system,' points out Silvia Ribeiro of ETC Group. 'In the global struggle for Food Sovereignty, the playing field isn't level, but the scope of resistance is massive - peasant farmers, fisher people, pastoralists and allied civil society and social movements are fighting for locally controlled and socially just food and health systems.'

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Friday, July 04, 2008) - The Biotechnology Industry Organization congratulates the Codex Alimentarius Commission for approving key guidelines to further promote the safety of products from agricultural plant and animal biotechnology. The Codex Commission took final action today at its 31st session in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Codex Alimentarius Commission and its member countries approved today
• the Annex on Food Safety Assessment in Situations of Low-Level Presence of Recombinant-DNA Plant Material in Food (LLP Annex),
• the Annex on Food Safety Assessment of Foods Derived from Recombinant DNA-Plants Modified for Nutritional or Health Benefits, and
• the Guideline for the Conduct of Food Safety Assessment of Foods Derived from Recombinant-DNA Animals.
Sharon Bomer Lauritsen, executive vice president, food and agriculture for the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), issued the following statement in response to action taken this week by the Commission:
“On behalf of its members, BIO commends the actions taken by Codex this week. These standards represent Codex’s commitment to promoting food safety for consumers, while embracing scientific advances and fostering trade of biotech-derived agriculture products.
“BIO and its members applaud the U.S. government and other governments around the world for moving these science-based guidelines to adoption by Codex.
“Adoption of guidance related to food safety assessments of low-level presence is essential to facilitate international trade while regulating incidental or trace amounts of biotechnology events in food and feed products. The new guidance recognizes that low-level presence is a natural part of plant biology, seed production and the distribution of commodity crops, and it can be managed in ways that ensure food safety and minimize trade disruptions.
“Adoption of the guidelines for risk assessment of the safety of foods derived from genetically engineered (GE) animals represents a policy breakthrough in the area of animal biotechnology. Codex standards are recognized as international benchmarks and act as models for governments in the establishment of their own food safety policies.
“Approval of the guidelines can now pave the way for the United States and other countries to develop science-based regulatory processes to govern the use of GE animals. GE animals are being developed to advance human and animal health, enhance food production, mitigate environmental impact and provide for high-tech industrial products.
“The Codex-approved texts on plant and animal biotechnology serve as science-based guidance, which will further enhance consumer safety and health while promoting the trade of biotech-derived products. This represents a tremendous step forward for farmers, traders and biotechnology industries in the United States and around the world.”
In 2006, the Codex Task Force on Foods Derived from Biotechnology agreed to draft an international guidance for food safety assessment of low-level presence of biotech products authorized as safe for use in food, feed, grain and derived products in one or more countries, including country of cultivation, but not yet in the country of import. In September, 2007 the members of the Codex Task Force unanimously agreed on the draft Annex that was considered and adopted by the Commission this week.
The Codex Alimentarius Commission was created in 1963 by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Codex, which comprises about 165 countries worldwide, is a scientific body that develops the international standards for food safety aimed at protecting public health and promoting fair trade practices. WASHINGTON, D.C. (Friday, July 04, 2008) - The Biotechnology Industry Organization... more

Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) is pushing to get a provision into the Food and Drug Administration Globalization Act of 2008 that would give the FDA the power to issue mandatory recalls of contaminated food. Oh, dear. We need to not give any more power to that agency to do squat.
Let's take a moment for a little background. The FDA is essentially run by Big Pharma, including Monsanto, and not for our benefit. click here
The FDA is in the process of eliminating YOUR vitamin companies, the foundation of a critical alternative health movement.
http://soundofcannons.blogspot.com/2008/01/no-more-vitamins-or-their-companies.html
http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?noframes;read=117225
http://www.naturalnews.com/022499.html
Why? Because they are true competition to the pharmaceutical industry. Supplements are cheap and and worse - non-proprietary. That is, they can't be patented though corporations have certainly tried - including to get hold of turmeric as it is proving to be a major defense against and treatment for cancers. Vitamin C is so multi-valuable and inexpensive and looking to be just what Linus Pauling said it was decades ago - a non-toxic chemotherapy - that there is now a bill in Canada to criminalize it.
The point is, if they can't solely own supplements which can treat all kinds of diseases naturally and cheaply and non-brutally, they are seeking to cut off access to them, treating them as dangerous. That is exactly what is happening Canada with the bill to criminalize vitamin C - being pushed, incidentally by the FDA, USDA, WTO and FAO, all influenced by Monsanto et al. click here
The FDA (run at the time by Michael Taylor, a Monsanto lawyer) is responsible for introducing rBGH - a genetically engineering Monsanto product, and one which Monsanto is trying, state to state, even as of today, to keep unlabeled, and without a peep of objection from the FDA. click here rBGH is still on the market despite citizens petitions to the FDA and scientific conferences indicating it increases the risk of breast cancer 7 fold and of prostate cancer 4 fold and of colon cancer. click here
"Monsanto and the FDA refuse to acknowledge recent research directly linking elevated levels of IGF-1 to increased risk of breast and prostate cancer. Monsanto and the FDA colluded in 1993 and '94 to block labeling requirements for rBGH milk. Consequently, the average dairy consumer has no idea if they're increasing their own risk of getting cancer.
Since 1994, every industrialized country in the world except the U.S. -- including Canada, Japan, and all fifteen nations of the European Union -- has banned rBGH milk. The United Nations Food Standards Body refuses to certify that rBGH is safe. Even the WTO, or more specifically its food standards body, the Codex Alimentarius, has refused to endorse Monsanto's claim that rBGH is safe for use in the dairy supply. In the face of facts and the majority opinion of the global political and scientific community, Monsanto and the [FDA] continue to endorse rBGH milk for general consumption, at the same time scratching their heads about increases in breast cancer deaths and the continually declining age of puberty for girls. ..."
Given what the FDA really is, why do any progressives blindly trust it to handle disease outbreaks and to do recalls (which can easily be used to destroy farmers)?
The FDA is not our friend or a neutral scientific agency meant to help the public, but just another agency in the grip of multinational corporations which are rapidly taking control of food and medicinal sources internationally and now making draconian moves to limit access to the natural medicinals.

What if, just for taking vitamin C, you could be thrown in jail for up to 2 years and fined up to $5,000,000?
That scenario could very well soon become a reality in Canada. The Canadian Government is trying to pass a bill known as Bill C51. According to some interpretations of the bill, it would remove all supplements from over-the-counter availability, by only allowing MD’s to prescribe them as they see fit.
This would mean that if you wanted to take a multivitamin, you would have to book an appointment with your doctor and try to convince your doctor that you are in need of these supplements. If your doctor decides a certain drug would be better for you, then you won't have access to your supplements anymore.
Consequences of the bill could include:
-No more supplement stores
-Supplements made illegal unless obtained through a prescription; 70 percent of all current supplements on the market could be removed
-Fines of up to $5,000,000.00 and/or 2 years in jail per incident of being caught breaking this law

It has been brought to my attention that the Ezine article that Dr. Mercola is quoting is affiliated with Stop51.com. Stop51.com is apparently maintained by TrueHope.com which operates an online nutritional supplement store. In addition, Dr. Mercola's website also sells nutritional supplements. My sincerest apologies for any confusion (though I must say that this bill still leaves me a bit confused). :-)
