Maj. Gen. Bert Stubblebine (U.S. Army Ret.) 

President

SUMMARY:

URGENT: Congress MUST Act NOW to Protect You From Both Codex AND Food (sic) Safety (sic) Bills

Food, as the Natural Solutions Foundation has been saying for quite some time, is the central struggle for freedom and survival for each of us.  Today, in the US, as has already taken place in Europe, another battle around food and freedom has been joined through a set of bills ostensibly devoted to “Food Safety” (sic) and “Food Security” (sic) including HR 875, S 425, and the even more dangerous HR 759. 

Internationally, certain US agencies, like the failed FDA and the dangerous USDA, continue to support restrictions on our freedoms to “HARMonize” us with the increasingly anti-health food restrictions of the EU, which embody, and even exceed, the madness of Codex.

The forces arrayed against us are enormous, but actually have significant weaknesses.  In times like these, times of war, it is critically important that we do not lose heart. Those forces want very much for us to believe that they are strong and we are hopelessly weak, that we are impotent to change their victory into ours. 

In fact, our actions matter very much.  Just think about any struggle for freedom and you’ll see the parallel.  We are the freedom fighters, you and I. Your willingness, Mouse Warriors, to ride your computer mouses to send strong messages to decision makers will have an enormous impact IF there are enough of us. 

No war has ever been won through defensive action.  We must be on the offensive at all times.  That is a fundamental Principle of War and a Principle of the Natural Solutions Foundation.  Your voices constitute  Mass, also an essential Principle of War.  More and more and more voices collectively give us power – so take the message viral.

If you’ve been a part of the Health Freedom Action eAlert Mouse Warrior Army for a while, you already know about the impact of our efforts. If you are one of the tens of thousands of people who have joined us us the past week or so (!), take a moment to look at our accomplishments page (http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=195) to see how we are fighting – and making headway – for Health Freedom.

This IS a war and we cannot rest on our laurels, no matter how satisfying they are, so TODAY, I NEED THE ARMY OF MOUSE WARRIORS – YOU, AND YOU, AND YOU -TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA, YOUR CONGRESS PEOPLE AND OTHER DECISION MAKERS TO TELL THEM THAT NEITHER CONGRESS NOR THE US CODEX DELEGATES ARE ABOVE THE LAW – US LAW!  We are taking action in Europe, too, but the strategy is different there.  Read on.

CLICK ON THIS LINK – http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26996

Tell the Corporate-lobbied decision makers to read – AND ACT ON – our powerful new National Solutions White Paper – http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2394 – calling on Congress to make REAL change, change that matters.

Index

In this seminal White Paper, the Natural Solutions Foundation details precisely why Congress MUST intervene and mandate that the US Codex delegation finally adhere to US law and represent the interest of the people. IF they are supporters of the US Constitution, they have no choice but to do so.  We notified the FDA in 2005 through our Citizens’ Petition to force that change.  The FDA did not comply with its legal obligation to respond to that Petition so now we are taking it to the US Congress which has a sworn obligation to uphold and defend the Constitution. 

In this 20 page White Paper we explain to Congress and the President why Congress MUST enact strong assurances that our organic, home, family and small garden, farm and ranch enterprises will not be destroyed by the industrialized agriculture interests seeking to do so.  These Agribiz and Biotech giants poses a real threat to food safety, to health and to freedom.

Please act here http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26996 and read on…

White Paper: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2394

Time is short and real food security is of immense importance to us all.

It is time to demand REAL change: that Congress and the President change directions!

Summary:

Foundation White Paper: “Health Freedom is Our First Freedom” Mandates No HARMonization with CODEX, Food Safety and Food Regulation

The critically important Natural Solutions Foundation White Paper (http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2394) addresses the urgent need for Congress to adopt strong assurances that American access to nutrition which is:

  • Clean
  • Unadulterated
  • Biologically effective
  • Health-promoting
  • Wholesome 

and which will not be compromised by “HARMonization” of new Federal food safety laws (including HR 875, 759, S. 425, etc.) with domestic or international rules, regulations or standards.  These international rulse, such as the Guidelines and Standards ratified and promulgated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (the World Food Code), often violate US or other national law, but are instituted anyway. 

Guarantees that “HARMonizations” which violate US law are forbidden already exist in US law but are flagrantly ignored by US Delegatges at Codex Alimentarius. Since the US is the dominant force at Codex, this has world wide consequences threatening real life, security, prosperty and, indeed, our very survival.

Reigning in that illegal, dangerously anti-health, pro-corporate disregard is essential to both the reign of law and the food safety and security of the United States.

Read the entire White Paper here (http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2394) and take a moment to send Congress a strong message about this requirement right now if you haven’t done so yet.  Click here:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26996

And please remember, we depend on your support. Only your donations make it possible for the Natural Solutions Foundation to devote the time needed to research and publish this kind of ground-breaking, leading edge information.

Donations are fully tax deductible for US tax payers, and deeply appreciate wherever you live whether those donations are large or small: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=189

If every one of the more than 215,000 people on our list donates as little as $1 per month, Health Freedom will have the resources it needs to accomplish our goals all over the world!  For example, there is another Codex meeting in Calgary Canada late this month.  We can only attend if you make your donation now.  Big Pharma will be there, so will Big Agribiz and Big Biotech.  Will we?  It’s up to you! http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=189

You know that General Bert and I were in Europe during  February and March this year.  We learned a great deal, including the fact that the EU politicians are hell-bent-for-leather to do the same thing that the Food Security (sic) and Safety (sic) laws are attempting to do here.  They already are in the process of a total loss of all supplements of a high enough dose to do any good and have lost most types of supplements by now.  The situation is grim enough for people to be ready to act.

We have created a new focus to our activity: Natural Solutions Foundation -Europe.

Watch a report with one of our outstanding European allies, Alex Benesch, www.infokrieg.tv, and me, as we fill you in on what we are up to in Europe:

Biological False Flag Event on April 29?  Will FEMA Use Exercise to Mask Release of Weaponized Avian Flu?

I want what I am about to share with you to be wrong.  I want the intense preparation we are receiving to make a Pandemic seem inevitable, even normal, to be nothing more than officialdom gone idiotic. I want the widespread publicity which our blasts bring to information like this to exert enough push-back to make this horrific event, if it is planned, be cancelled.

But the recent apparent failed attempt through Baxter to create an Avian Flu Pandemic AND a market for its almost-approved Avian Flu vaccine in Europe makes it look very much like the Powers That Be (PTB) are really serious about killing off a whole lot of us while receiving humongus amounts of money for the priviledge of doing so.

Major false flag events like 9/11, the London Bombings and the Madrid Bombing were all accompanied by “Security Training Exercises” which paralleled the real events taking place so closely that response teams, on the ground and in the air, were confused by what was happening and thought it was a spectacularly life-like part of the “Games” as such exercises are often called.

So when we learned that FEMA has scheduled an Avian Flu outbreak exercise on April 29th in Akron OH, we were mildly alerted.  FEMA and other parts of the Homeland [IN]Security aparatus have such training exercises often.

What got us, as General Bert would say, “Up on the step” was the Power Point presentation which First Energy presented to its employees.

FirstEnergy Corporation is, according to its website, http://www.firstenergycorp.com/index.html,  “a diversified electric company headquartered in Akron, Ohio. Its seven electric utility operating companies comprise the nation’s fifth largest investor-owned electric system, serving 4.5 million customers.”

First Energy and the Department of Homeland Security have decided that in the event of a Pandemic, their employees must continue to come to work.  And so they determined that, if the employees and their families would provide the company with medical information, they would be provided with Tamiflu (last year), then Avian Flu vaccine was added this year, according to the report at Jimmyonthespot.com, http://www.jimmyonthespot.com/OH_pandemic.html.  If you ignore the fact that, according to CIDRAP, the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, “more than 98% (321 of 325) of H1N1 isolates tested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were resistant to the drug.” (http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/influenza/panflu/news/mar0209osel.html) making Tamiflu just about totally useless for H5N1 treatment, and if you ignore the fact the new promised “treatment,”  a vaccine against Avian Flu, is not supposed to be able to exist until the pandemic form of the Avian flu exists, the Power Point presentation still gives us grave concern.

On Slide 3 a Pandemic is defined as

“Highly contagious from person to person
Little or no immunity
More fatal than a seasonal flu
Vaccines unavailable prior to pandemic [Emphasis added – REL]”

Bear with me here.  You will soon see why we are so concerned that this might be a set up for a false flag biological assault.

Slide 5 asks “Why does First Energy need a health emergency plan?” and answers its own question this way:

“Energy is identified as Critical Infrastructure
      U.S. Department of Homeland Security
 Requires a different approach than other work continuation plans
      Loss of employees vs. loss of facilities
      Nationwide impact – mutual assistance unavailable
Need plan to mitigate impact on the health of our  workforce
Ensure continuity of essential business services
     Operational resiliency
Significant potential impact to FirstEnergy
      Financial losses: profitability, capital, etc.

On Slide 11 “Preventive Strategies”, employees are told,

“Guidelines for Tamiflu use
Preventive – take medication before onset of symptoms
Treatment – take medication at the earliest onset of symptoms

Slide 12 asks “Why Don’t We Have a Flu Shot for the Avia Flu?” and says,

“Avian Flu Vaccine
      Specific avian vaccine currently not available
      Development, production, and distribution takes 6-9 months after identification of   strain
       Development and delivery of vaccine is not a feasible solution due to lag time”

But the real killer may be on Slides 14 and 15.

Slide 14 notes under “Medication Distribution” that
“Tamiflu medication supply is stored at a secure location
Distribution will be completed at an appropriate time prior to pandemic onset” [Emphasis added – Dr. Rima]

and on Slide 15, which says, in a small box, “Tamiflu medication will be provided for active workforce and households at selected time prior to pandemic onset.” [Emphasis added – Dr. Rima].

So here is the question: whether you are talking about Tamiflu (a failed antiviral drug which Donald Rumsfeld, 1/4 owner of its Patent rights managed to bamboozle the US into stockpiling billions of dollars worth) or a Pandemic Avian Flu vaccine which may be weaponized, how would First Energy, the fifth largest energy producer in the US, know when to give its employees and their families the preventive substance BEFORE THE PANDEMIC STARTS?

Is this the next round in the continuing saga of the Pandemic That Would Not Be? Last year, the Wellcome Trust gave grants to scientists because they did not understand why the Pandemic Flu was not producing a pandemic.  David Nabarro, UN Pandemic Czar, has been warning, and marshaling resources, and frightening the world’s gullible like a mean uncle scaring the kids at bedtime.

Baxter could NOT, by any reasonable standard, be likely to contaminate seasonal flu with deadly, infective, human strain Avian Flu by accident.  No heads are rolling, no criminal charges of conspiracy to commit mass murder are under consideration, as far as we know.  No executive bonuses have been reduced or cancelled, to our knowledge. 

The Pandemic continues to elude the weaponizers, elude the genocidalists, but, give them credit, they do keep trying.

So perhaps it is just coincidence that the hometown of the nation’s 5th largest energy producer is the site of  FEMA classes which are being held locally with “a training exercise to follow” FEMA courses ICS 100 and ICS 700, both of which are linked into the medical training area of the FEMA site. And perhaps it is just routine training practice to ask for “200  ‘victims’ for the April 29th exercise. www.Jimmyonthespot.com notes “History has shown that exercises can turn into the real event, as recalled on 9/11, the London bombing, and the Madrid train bombing (to cite a few).  Each time the mainstream media is “amazed”

that the emergency response teams were in those areas, running exercises for the exact event that was occurring.”

So let us devoutly hope that this set of occurances is merely a coincidence, or, if not, the fact that hundreds of thousands of people will forward this Health Freedom Alert to millions more will give the people planning such an “exercise” pause and they will slink back into the slime in which they belong.  There is, in fact, good reason to think that something very like that changed the deadly dynamic and a biological false flag attack was forestalled in September of 2008.

We may never know for sure but please, God, please keep us protected enough to be wrong forever on this kind of genocidal event.

Kathy’s Corner

Summary:
Growing Your Own IS a Natural Solution

Many folks have written to us asking about Heritage/Heirloom seed sources (these are seeds that provide new seeds, year after year, at harvest’s end). Hybrids do not always breed true, so you are dependent on companies to keep supplying you with your seeds. Heirloom seeds, on the other hand, are open pollinated, so their DNA in next year’s plants is the way it it was in last year’s, and in your grandmother’s garden, as well.

You may already know that Gen. Bert and Dr. Rima are in Panama creating the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project (http://www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org) in the beautiful, bountiful, temperate Highlands of Panama right now.  They are not only creating a Beyond Organic BioDynamic Zero Emissions™ Farm and Farm School for farmers, they are also creating a training program in Intensive Urban Agriculture for non-farmers like most of you – and me!

This weekend, you’ll receive in your in-box Dr. Rima’s first photgraphic essay, Growing Our Own, Step 1″ on her early steps in the same process most of us will go through when we begin to grow our own. Some lucky souls out there already grow their own- we hope you’ll join us in sharing wisdom and experience in our new newsletter (now in development) for people like us who want to grow our own – despite what the Agribiz and Biotech dominators out there want!

You’ll probably also want a library to help you out, too.  There are dozens and dozens of books available (Dr. Rima downloads them on Amazon Kindle whenever possible to save paper – we need the rain forests! -about these seeds.  Information is so plentiful about them online that searching for “Organic Heirloom [or Heritage] Seeds” is a little like drinking from a fire hose!

Visit your local library gardening section, local bookstore or do a search on line for “Heirloom Organic Seeds”  Why organic?  because the designation “heirloom seeds”, by itself, is no guarantee that chemicals have not been used to coat, fertilize, spray and generally contaminate the seeds, which WILL contaminate what you grow from them.

Do some research in bookstores, and check out places such as ebay for discount prices on same. You can get discounts (and we get a little bit back, too) by going to http://www.aisle19.com  and signing up (no cost) under us.  Enter 149129 (that’s us) for your 6 digit code. 

If you order from Amazon.com, please be sure to click in through Organic Gardening” here (Organic Gardening” (http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Organic%20Gardening&tag=natursolutfou-20&index=books&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325″>Organic Gardening).

There are many Heirloom Seed clubs which you can find on-line.  Members trade seeds and wisdom, spreading these precious seeds to new places, allowing members to focus on certain crops and still collect or trade seeds from others.

Sounds harmless, right?  Well, under the horrific laws we have been urging you to act on – http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26996, such seed saving and trading will be illegal because of an imaginary threat to “Homeland [IN]Security”

Among the best tools for organic gardening are the many gardening books published by Rodale Press. Then there is that marvelous magazine which has been around for decades, “Mother Earth News” — “Organic Gardening Magazine” and a host of others are out there, too, featuring advertisements from good seed companies and publishing articles about organic gardening. Seed Savers Exchange has over 700 members who share and sell a huge variety of seeds (www.seedsavers.org, phone 563-382-5990).

You can also search through more than 500 plant and seed companies at www.MotherEarthNews.com/Find-Seeds-Plants.aspx .

But remember that most seed companies are now owned by the Agri-monsters and Biotech companies.  We strongly recommend small, independent, passionate organic heirloom growers.  Call up the company you want to buy seeds from.  Talk to the owners. If the owner is a corporation, go somewhere else.

Does the thought of planting and maintaining many different foods discourage you? Get together with neighbors. Make a list of what you want to grow/eat and divide the list among the group. This allows each of you to specialize and concentrate on less variety, saving time and focus. During each food’s harvest season, divvy up the produce!

We’ve gotten a lot of letters asking for instructions for information on growing foods in their area of the country. We suggest you refer to books, local gardening clubs and your local garden centers. While these centers often carry no Heritage/Heirloom and little or no organic seeds, they do understand what will and will not grow in the area and can advise you, giving you tips and even connecting you with others who share your interest, as well as providing many of your other gardening needs (gloves, pails, rakes, spades, seed starter trays, etc.)

You have probably seen the ads on tv for the Topsy-Turvy growers that appear to produce an immense amount of growth from a hanging bag. If these are too expensive for you, consider inexpensive plastic pails- cut a hole in the bottom to push your plant into, along with little tiny holes for drainage. Fill the inside with gravel and potting soil/nutrients. Push your plant into the bottom, water and hang. I suspect this would work and certainly cost less than the televised growers. Do you have an old swing set no longer in use? Take off the seats, etc., and hang your pails over the top pole. If the handles of the pails cannot be separated from the pail (and then rejoined after hanging over the pole), use a rope and tie the top of the handle to the overhead pole.  This kind of experience and creativity is exactly what we are hoping you will share with us in the readers’ wisdom section of our upcoming newsletter. 

Look for Mel Bartholomew’s outstanding “Square Foot Gardening” books during your research. These provide a practical way of gardening that requires a whole less work than most other systems. Are you arthritic? Is there a hillside behind your house? Ask someone to build a concrete brick wall along the base of the rise, about a foot out. Then backfill with good dirt/nutrients, plant your plants, and you can garden while standing up, making life easier for your knees! Or make your square foot garden 2 or 3 feet high so you never have to stoop over again while growing wonderful, fresh, clean, unadulterated food for you and your family.

For those who want to learn more or share knowledge with others, we have created a food person and gardener’s chat. Go to our Food and Farming Forum to sign on:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/natural-solutions-food-and-farming/join

And to make sure we let you know when the first issue of the Grow Your Own Newsletter is ready, send me an email at kathy.green@usa.net

with “FOOD” as the subject.

May both your thumbs turn green!

Yours in health and freedom,

Kathy Greene

Want to Know What’s Happening At Codex?  So Do We!

Nobody gives you better information about Codex and no other health freedom group has the kind of impact that we do at Codex.

The next significant Codex meeting (there’s at least one a week, all year long), will be in Calgary, Canada from May 4 – May 8, 2009. The 37th Codex Committee on Food Labeling will be deliberating several items which have direct bearing on your health and the environment.  First of all, the battle rages between the Pro Health countries and the US and its minions about whether to, or how, to implement the WHO Global Strategy on Diet,Physical Activity and Health.  This document could, if properly used, enhance the world’s health.  Tragically, Dr. Rolf Grossklaus (of the Codex Committee on Nutrition) and the US have led the fight against it. Their agenda is clearly NOT health.

Next, guidelines for the production, processing, labeling and marketing or organic foods will be on the docket.  This will be a battle about whether the US will be allowed to weaken organic standards yet more.

And then there is the labeling of foods which are genetically modified.  The US is trying to force down the world’s throat, quite literally, the concept that it shoudl be FORBIDDEN to label GMOs.  The rest of the world is not very happy with this assault on truth and consumer protection.  But that’s what Big Biotech has managed for itself in the US and it wants the same, despite crop failures and major health hazards emerging.

So who is going to make video reports, do radio interviews, write daily updates and fill you in on what’s going on there if we are not there for you?  No one.

Take a look at the calendar: if you want us there for you, it is time to make your donation, large or small, to send us there.

Click here (http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=189) to make that donation now.  If you are a US tax payer, it is fully tax deductible.

And thanks!

Dr. Rima Recommends

Rima E. Laibow MD

European Alert: Vitamin E Attacked

Our friends at www.winhs.com asked us to pass this important story, because the intent of the globalists who want to control your body, and ensure that you are ill, in a profitable way, have the same thing in mind for everyone in the world that they are now implementing in Europe:

“A new Japanese study suggests that tocotrienols which is part of the vitamin E ‘family’ of nutrients, exert their anti-cancer benefits through their accumulation in cancer cells. In fact the Japanese study shows that accumulation in tumour cells is critical for the anti cancer activity of tocotrienols.

This is VERY important because the EU Food Supplements Directive, passed into law in 2002 and upheld by the European Court of Justice in 2005, will implement the first phase of the directive later this year and physically remove nearly two thirds of currently available vitamin supplement substances from the shelves throughout Europe. And yes, you’ve probably guessed it, that removal includes nearly the entire spectrum of natural vitamin E ‘family of nutrients,’ including gamma tocopherols and these very same tocotrienols. But hold on, because of earlier trade agreements signed by Canadian and U.S., Codex will eventually create the same problem for domestic manufacturing and sales even in non-European countries.
 
The logic (or lack of) boggles the mind!
 
Nevertheless, here’s more to the story from Japan.
 
The researchers from Kyushu University evaluated the anti-tumour activities of both gamma and delta tocotrienols (called T3) in mouse cancer cells. They found that supplementing the diet of the mouse with tocotrienols significantly delayed tumour growth. This was found to be the case for both gamma and delta tocotrienols. The researchers also found that delta tocotrienols, when studied outside the living organism, were particularly effective in delaying tumour growth.

Tocotrienols, naturally occurring in the plant oils of the palm fruit, rice bran, wheat germ, oats, rye and barley, have not been studied as extensively as their tocopherol cousins. The molecular structure of the tocotrienols suggest that they have a more potent antioxidant effect than the tocopherol forms, and studies have backed this up. Tocotrienol forms have also been associated more with the anti-cancer, cardio-vascular and other benefits.

The reference, abstract and article outline of the paper is given in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry

Please pass this information on to your friends and associates and ask them to join us in our efforts to reverse this ridiculous, ill informed at best, worldwide legislative attack on the natural health industry and natural solutions like Vitamin E.” http://www.winhs.com/members/join.htm”


Natural Solutions Green Portal
and Nano Silver…

Index

Introducing the Natural Solutions Green Portal! You already know that Natural Solutions Foundation is “More than just words….” Now it’s about supporting your needs when you shop and our Foundation, all at the same time.

You buy things.  Why not have each purchase put a small donation – automatically, at no added charge to you, in our coffers at the same time?  Great idea, right?  here’s how:

Watch my short video about the Green Portal:
http://www.youtube.com/v/A52DcIG4qYI&

Then,

Natural Solutions Green Portal

Literally!

We look for solutions to social problems that support the natural environment. That’s why we’re pleased to invite you to “Go Green” and “Go Viral” with this Program by clicking on the link below, viewing the 3-minute video, and signing up TODAY to start saving:

www.NaturalSolutionsGreenPortal.net

How’s that for a great WIN-WIN?

And, of course, DO NOT FORGET your present  – AND FUTURE – Nano silver needs!

To those of you who used our eAction Item to let the EPA know that you strongly oppose their classification of Nano silver, and the equipment that makes it, as a “pesticide” (sic), thank you.  You can be very certain that if the EPA is allowed to take this action, the FDA will be hard on their heels banning this substance – which they have been trying to do for more than 30 years. Why allow people to use safe, cheap and effective silver, after all, when you can force them to use dangerous, expensive and increasingly ineffective drugs at a huge profit to Big Pharma?

No one knows just how long safe, effective and very, very long shelf-life Nano silver will continue to be available.  Natural Solutions Foundation will, of course, keep working on preserving your right to access this valuable health aid, but we are all well aware that the “CHANGE” being offered to us is to remove our power and render us subject to the profit (and population) whims of multinational corporate interests – and worse.

That is why we urge you to make sure that you do not regret not having enough Nano silver, which has been shown to kill all pathogens, including avian flu viruses and eliminate the weird and awful condition known as “Morgellon’s Disease”,  on hand for where we are now, and what might reasonably be expected in the future.

(Go to “Products” tab on the top menu,  then scroll down to “Silver Solutions” on the left menu)


You can be sure that the multinationals are not happy about our activism.  This is a good thing.  The change we need will not come from them and from their agents unless we loose the Health Freedom War.  The outcome is up to us.

We MUST be the change we seek and we must bring it about through strategy and a united effort.

Thank you for your activism and support!

Part of that change is happening in Panama.  The Valley of the Moon(TM) Eco Demonstration Project has found a wondeful home.  If you want to know more, click here (www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org).  If you want to join the Yahoo Forum to learn more, participate in a conference call and find out what you can do to get involved, click here (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/NSF-Panama/join).

And don’t forget to click here (http://www.ValleyoftheMoonCoffee.org) to purchase our totally clean Valley of the Moon(TM)  GMO-Free, Pesticide-Free, Toxin-Free Coffee so you can enjoy “A Little Bit of Heaven in a Cup(TM)” while you support Health Freedom at that same time.

Teach a Man to Farm, Feed His Family For Life

By Administrator on March 22, 2009 No Comments

Natural Solutions Foundation
www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org

You know the old adage, “Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach him to farm, feed him for life.” Change the word “Fish” to “Farm” and you’ve got a way to solve the hunger problem not only in the US, but in the entire industrialized world. Intensive urban agriculture is that powerful And, in addition to providing food, indoors or out, in-ground or in containers, for people, thus ending food shortages on a family-by-family basis, reclaiming the production of food, again on a family-by-family basis, this simple strategy can end, yes, END, the high calorie under nutrition that is killing us.

You will recall that both the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization, in their Joint WHO/FAO Expert Consultation on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases (2002 : Geneva, Switzerland) noted that the chronic, non communicable, PREVENTABLE [emphasis added – Dr. Rima] diseases of under nutrition are –

Cancer
Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke
Diabetes and
Obesity.

You will also recall that these are the principle killers in the developed nations and, as the developing world moves toward consuming the Standard American Diet, or “SAD”, these PREVENTABLE killers are making their inroads in their lives (and deaths), too.

You will surely recall as well that these PREVENTABLE diseases are also the principle money makers for the pharmaceutical industry, which is behind Codex Alimentarius (the World Food Code), which corrupts and weaponizes food on a world-wide basis to make as many of us as sick as possible for as long as possible with diseases which could have been prevented – and can be cured – by nutrition.

So when a suggestion arose to feed the hungry in the US by recycling food to give to them, that suggestion, while kindly in its intent, literally appalled me. Why not, I thought, teach the hungry to use tiny pieces of land, or easily available containers, to feed themselves, helping our efforts to reclaim the production of food world-wide, and eliminating the high calorie under nutrition that is killing so many of us to the misery of ourselves and our communities and the profit of the illness mongering so-called “health care industry”?

I hope that you will take this idea seriously, apply it to yourselves and teach your neighbors.

Step 1: look around your garden (if you have a year-long growing season where you live) or your home if you do not, and find a place to plant a garden in your yard, your closet (with grow lights), a corner of your apartment, your balcony or wherever.

Step 2: Start thinking about the veggies you would like to eat. Start making a list of them now so you will be ready to plant when the time comes (shortly).

Step 3. Enlist your kids, if you have them. If you home school, make this a project. If you do not home school, make it a project, anyway. It is vitally important now, and will be much more important in the near future, for everyone to know these techniques, and kids naturally take great pleasure in making things grow.

Step 4. Go to www.HealthFreedomUSA.org or www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org and sign up for the Natural Solutions Health Freedom Action eAlerts so that you will be sure to get notification of the new eNewsletter now in planning. Within a short time we’ll be able to send you regular eNewsletters to guide you through the process on your own, get your feedback and share our accumulated wisdom as we reclaim our nutrition and our birthright to healthy, unadulterated food, despite the plans of the disease mongering forces. Once you do that, of course, you will be able to take action to protect your health freedom, too.

In the meantime, join our Food and Farming Forum –
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/natural-solutions-food-and-farming/

Step 5. Talk to your friends, church groups, neighbors, relatives, anyone you know who eats. It is especially important to alert anyone you know who has children so that they can start growing healthy, unadulterated food for them to protect their immune systems and assist their bodies – and brains – to grow to their maximum health and functional potential. Healthy food, as we all know, does all of that and more. But the food that we eat, especially if it is prepared food, meets few (or none) of those characteristics since it is grown in demineralized soil, laden with dangerous chemicals and irradiated, to say nothing of the fact that some 90%+ of our prepared food contains GMO ingredients. Why are we so sick, so young and so long? Because of our food supply.

These Intensive Urban Gardens cost virtually nothing, require little labor and will feed you and your family abundantly, at least as far as vegetable crops go. This will help us all reclaim the production of food while protecting our health.

Oh, yes, there is one more advantage: President Obama and his First Lady, Michelle Obama, have begun planting an organic vegetable garden on the White House lawn. This, at least for this one time, is immensely important to us. Even while the Congress is preparing to pass HR 875 (HR 759) and S 425, disastrous legislation which will plunder the ability of small farmers to stay in the game, leaving ALL food production to the industrialized food chain forces, including GMO and nutrient poor, chemical rich, irradiated food producers, the thrust for clean food production through organic small gardens has been put into our hands by this disingenuous move on the part of the public face of control, the While House.

So let’s use this initiative for all that it is worth and create V2-Gardens. And, while we are talking about it, please visit:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

RIGHT NOW, while you are thinking about it, to tell Congress not to pass these horrific bills. I hope you’ll take a moment, too, when you have finished reading this article, to send everyone on your contact list the link I just gave you so that they, too, can help defend their right to clean, unadulterated food and the right to grow it.

Victory Gardens (V-Gardens) were encouraged during WW II so that effort could be diverted from food production and transportation to war efforts. People grew their own food in huge numbers. Today, the victory is over those who would take away our health AND our health freedom. They will not gladly see us healthy and prospering through the ingestion of nutrient-dense food. But that is exactly what these gardens will allow. This is the second time in modern American history that it is necessary to route the forces we are struggling against through ensuring our nutrition. Therefore, the Natural Solutions Foundation, always the leader in health and freedom protection, urges V2 Gardens to protect our freedoms and our health at the same time.

Stay tuned for the launch issue of the Natural Solutions Foundation’s “Freedom Food eNewsletter: V2 Gardens for Health and Freedom“. Happy gardening.

Yours in health and freedom,

Food is astonishingly important both as a human necessity and as a weapon – history shows us that over and over again. The Natural Solutions Foundation, www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org, of which I am the Medical Director, is deeply concerned with the weaponization and contamination of food on a global basis.
Codex Alimentarius, the UN’s “Food Code” sets standards and guidelines for everything that goes into the mouths of the world’s population (voluntary as the Codex texts are, they are backed up the by WTO unless a country follows several very specific procedure which our Foundation has determined exist and has promulgated to these countries through our work at Codex meetings in in their home countries).

Tragically, these standards and guidelines are set at the request and wishes of the US Government, the “Big Dog” at Codex. Armed with the wishes of the multinational corporations, the US makes sure, through its might and economic weight, that Codex is run for the benefit if the “Bigs”, Big Pharma, Big Agribiz, Big Chema, Big Biotechna and Big Medical.

In fact, the US comes to the Codex meetings around the world with representatives of these industries on its delegation, unlike virtually any other country in the world.

So the quality of food is rapidly being degraded world wide.

Nowhere is this more true than in the US where the nutritive value of food is decreasing with the intensification of industrial food production (indeed, even Avian Flu outbreaks have been laid squarely at industrial food production of poultry AND VACCINATION WITH AVIAN VACCINES WHICH PRECIPITATE THE DISEASE IN VACCINATED BIRDS).

At the same time, Codex permits contamination of food through unlimited irradiation, permitted dangerous chemicals at high levels, hormones and dangerous drugs like antibiotics and hormones permitted in the rearing or animals, biotech crops and animals, degradation of “organic” standards and a host of other affronts to ALL food consumed by humans is being met by the introduction of laws like the devastatingly dangerous HR 875 (HR 759)and S 425 in the US. Similar laws, to which the US statues “HARMonize”, have been adopted in Europe and elsewhere.

It is useful to note that Codex was created on the inspiration of Convicted WWII War Criminal Fritz ter Meer, the head of Germany’s IG Farben during that war, and Beyer Pharmaceutical head before – and after – the war. More information on the pharmaceutical industry’s attempt -so far lethally successful – to degrade food to the point that it will not support health and therefore will support illness very well, is available in our video “Nutricide”, available under the video section of our websites, www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org and www.HealthFreedomUSA.org.

To remedy this situation, it is absolutely necessary to reclaim the production of food. There is, it seems to me, little point to wasting the opportunity to feed hungry Americans by allowing the food they eat to consist of the same deadly mix of irradiated biotech food, both demineralized and filled with dangerous chemicals, of which the Standard American Diet, aptly called “SAD” for short, consists.

The Natural Solutions Foundation has created a the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project in the temperate, bountiful and magnificent Highlands of Panama to teach farmers how to grow without chemicals. More information on this project is available at www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org. But we are also focused on the need to grow our own food, something that HR 875 (HR 759) and S 425 could forbid.

On a 4×4 patch of ground, or set of pots, it is possible to create an outdoor – or indoor – garden which can grow enough food for a family of four with nearly no expense and at minimal effort.

Why not teach the hungry to grow clean, unadulterated, safe and nourishing food, not give them recycled junk, whether it is considered “junk food” or not?
In the ancient wisdom of giving a man a fish, or teaching him to fish, why not teach him to garden and feed his family, his friends and himself?

If you believe in a vegetarian diet, you would thus be teaching people to find the means to achieve and sustain it. If you do not, you are giving people the means to acheive and sustain a healthy crop portion of their diet. Those whose physical situations allows them to grow healthy chickens can obtain inexpensive protein from them – both meat and eggs.

This, it seems to me, is the answer to the problem in the US and elsewhere.
The Natural Solutions Foundation will be teaching Intensive Urban Agriculture at its Panama Center and is also instituting a special e-newsletter to assist people in doing just that: taking back the control and quality of their own food supply.
People interested in this option can go to www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org or www.HealthFreedomUSA.org in order to sign up for the free, secure Health Freedom Action eAlerts where they will be able to join in the fight to protect our health freedom AND sign up [shortly] for our new e-Newsletter.

The initiative to feed the US is a good one. Why not use it as the opportunity to create a healthy food supply under the control of each and every household or person?

The General’s Communique
Maj. Gen. Bert Stubblebine (USA ret.)

SUMMARY: The time is growing short…

Food is becoming a battle ground like no other: freedom, survival, fascistic take over of a once-free people (more or less, at least), corporate triumph over independent producers – it’s all happening around food. And the mechanism is simple: a set of bills ostensibly devoted to “food safety” and “food security”.

Urgent Action Item: Click here – http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714 – to tell Congress that the Farm Bills MUST be defeated. Time is short and the issue is of immense importance.

In essence, these bills are a sneak attack implementation of Codex Alimentarius. The Natural Solutions Foundation has been warning that organic farming and home growing, clean food and food freedom were under heavy attack. Here is the Mother of All Food Fascism Assaults and we still have some time to defeat it.

Congress often comes up with bad ideas. This is not just a bad idea: it is a catastrophically bad idea for health and freedom. In fact, it is nothing short of food tyranny and will kill not only organic farming, but lots of people as well, along with the entire private farming sector. Your own gardens are at risk as well.

I cannot urge you strongly enough to take action NOW (we have only a few days to create the urgent push-back needed to fend off this disastrous legislation. These are bad, deceptive and extraordinarily dangerous bills which make the eternal link between fascism and food crystal clear. But the bills are written in neutral, even calming tones. Please go to the articles below to read a brilliantly annotated version of the bills and a summary and learn just how dangerous they are. My thanks to Sue Diederich and Linn Cohen-Cole for their tireless work on this vital issue…

SUMMARY: Abolition by Regulation… the end of Food Freedom

I have devoted decades to the study and practice of regulatory law, dealing with the seemingly endless onslaught of United States government agencies like FDA, USDA, EPA, FTC and others to curb and deny our constitutionally and legislatively guaranteed freedoms. I have seen bad regulatory ideas come and (often, with sufficient push-back) go. But I cannot remember any time in my long legal career seeing such rapid, and, if left unchecked, cataclysmic regulation for fascism and loss of rights as in the food regulation proposed under the current bills to industrialize food with the National Animal Identification System, Codex Alimentarius and North American Union.

While the Obamists claim to be agents of “Change”, that change is toward food fascism, not freedom. It is toward regulating food freedom into food crimes. It is toward making criminals of those who would control “their own seed and their own feed.”

HR 875 and S 425 are not just bad bills (Congress comes up with those, usually at the behest of industry) all the time. They are much worse than that.

Tyrants inevitably seek to control food. Fascism and food are always linked.

Sometimes the link is who may have access to food – please the tyrant and you eat. Sometimes the link is more subtle: the tyrant wants you ill so that you cannot resist because you are weak and distracted by illness….

Read more at:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2327

So HR 875 and S 425 will “protect” us out of our birthright to clean, unadulterated food grown by those who would produce such natural bounty. Instead, food will be chipped, irradiated, contaminated, industrialized, genetically modified and demineralized to “protect” us from independence, from health, from autonomy and self-sufficiency.

As you know, the Natural Solutions Foundation has been cautioning against these very developments for years. We have warned that the patterns were being established through the globalists’ toy, Codex Alimentarius, for many decades….

Action eAlert Items
Immediate Action Item (explanation below):

Tell Congress: NO on HR 875, S 425!

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

Other Action Items

1. Tell the President and Congress that we want them to protect our right to refuse medical treatments including vaccinations

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26830

2. Tell Congress “No” on the farm control bills!
HR 875 and S.425

We’ve set up an Action Item for you to send an unmistakable message to your representatives in the Senate and the House. We must educate Congress that you do not want organic and small farmers regulated out of existence.

You do not want “Big Agra” regulations, perhaps necessary to protect the public when dealing with large scale agra business, applied to organic and small family farms and ranches or to natural and organic food products including Dietary Supplements.

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

3. Tell the President about Change: Health Freedom is Our First Freedom

You made “Health Freedom Is Our First Freedom” one of the top 10 items on America’s mind with your votes to Change.org. Now we have to make that message resonate through the White House halls.

Will the new President listen? Only if we tell him, in our hundreds of thousands! We need your help in making this campaign “go viral” to “infect” the Internet with health freedom! Please forward to your entire list and ask them to ACT NOW!

Click below to tell President Obama that we want REAL change – which means more freedom and choice in our lives, not more control over needed medical treatments by yet another overblown, impossible to approach Federal bureaucracy!

http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2096

4. Right to Use – Right to Choose – Use Nano Silver

Thanks to our Mouse Warriors, the Deadline for Comments was been extended to March 20, 2009 by the EPA. We won that skirmish, but the war is still raging.

Retain the Right to Choose Nano Silver. Tell EPA Not to topical Ban Nano Silver of Any Type. Whether you use Nano Silver or not (and we certainly do!), let’s make sure that we have the right to make that choice!

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26405

Want to know more? Read Defending Nano Silver:

http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=1773

5. Divest FDA/USDA of Food Regulation Authority – and all government agencies of their often misused power to deny us access to wholesome nutrition and natural remedies. Protect Food from FDA/USDA Regulation! We oppose H.R. 875 and S. 425, but do support divesting the FDA!

With those bills, Congress is about to create a new agency for “Food Safety”. Our analysis is that it will be worse than both FDA and USDA combined. We need to get food out of Federal hands, and quickly. Just think what the new farm bills, coupled with a new industry-controlled, agency will do to your food, your health and your freedom. Having contemplated that horrific outcome, take action and ask everyone you know to do the same.

Kathy’s Corner
SUMMARY: You know what it takes to make change…

YOU ARE VERY MUCH NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!

Kathy here. I am the lady who answers emails for NSF. Recently, I received an email from a person which surprised me more than most! She apparently thought that we have a big switchboard of operators who answer questions and solicit donations. She must have had us mixed up with some other organization, because we do not have the money for a switchboard of phone lines and we have never solicited monies by phone. She implied that we have a big fancy office where people answer mail and organize events. While I think that would be lovely, the fact is that less than a dozen people are putting in the time necessary to keep this operation running. I am the person answering emails and I do it
from my kitchen table.

NSF is the largest health freedom organization in the world. Hundreds of thousands of health freedom advocates read our emails, alerts and send messages to Congress through these mailings. When we visit the Capitol, our name is recognized. It costs a minimum of about $12,000 per month to maintain this organization. We pay for websites and a webmaster and researchers; we pay the company that maintains our lists; we pay for each of those eblasts that are sent to Washington (and we send many!); we pay the train fare – travel fare to Washington; we pay for informational videos; and most important, we pay for trips to Codex meetings which occur several times a year in different parts of the world. We do this on a shoestring budget, as inexpensively as we can. Because we do this, we are able to keep our readers up to date on health freedom issues and organized to fight the Powers that would destroy your health.

The problem? We are not bringing in enough in donations to cover our costs. You say, “How can that be? With so many people on your list, getting your emails, you should be taking in lots of money, every month!” The fact is, most people (over 98% of our readers) contribute absolutely no money to this effort. Oh they are happy to join in on eblasts (and we are glad that they do!) and they are happy we are here making sure that they can continue to purchase nutrients, and they want us to win this health freedom war– but they want their neighbors to pay for it. We know there are many of you out there who are having severe financial problems. We have people who pledged as little as $5.00 a month, who now cannot afford that amount, given the economy. We understand- and do not expect those in such positions to donate. But there are many out there who can afford to donate the monies necessary to keep this battle going, —and donations to us are tax deductible, another incentive for giving.

Now there are those who would love to see NSF fail. There are FDA/Big Pharma owned Congress-leaches who would be happy if we stopped sending them messages.There are certain big companies who would love it if there were no well organized opposition to their plans. But we intend to keep at this as long as we possibly can – with YOUR help. So make that contribution today- and, if you can, make it monthly! If only 12,000 of you each sent $1.00 a month, we could pay our bills. If more is sent, we can do more! We would love to be able to place advertising to reach more of the general public with the health freedom message! This will cost money!

I am getting letters every day, from Scandinavia, Holland, Germany,– places where parts of Codex are already being adopted and people are having trouble getting the nutrients they want. A woman from Holland informed me that she ordered nutrients from the U.S. but they were promptly seized by Customs. She managed to get a few items from England, but she is not sure how long she will be able to do that. When she complains to politicians, she is told that she should get her nutrients from the foods she eats. Of course, if humanity loses this battle, that food will all be gm and toxic. It is obvious, at Codex meetings, that the U.S. representatives are pushing the hardest to make Codex regulations, standard worldwide. Will you and yours be able to live on a diet of toxic fake food? Will you be able to get by without the supplements necessary for good nutrition??

So do YOUR part. Make that donation now- and help to spread the NSF message so that MILLIONS of emails go to Congress with each blast. Do YOUR part to make certain that we have the people power and backing to push your/our issues– health freedom issues!!

Please donate here:

Eater’s Guide to Produce Contamination and the Law

Natural Solutions Foundation

www.NaturalSolutionsEurope.org

Once again, the Natural Solutions Foundation wants to thank the Environmental Working Group for their outstanding work. For 5 years the EWG has published a list of the safest, and most dangerous, types of produce, focusing on pesticide levels.

Here is this year’s list. Numbers in front of the item indicate how bad it is (higher is worse), numbers after the item indicate its pesticide load. So eat from the bottom of the list if you are not buying organic. If you are eating organic, you can enjoy the whole bounty of spring’s harvest.

But think for a moment, before you begin to plan your shopping this season, what it means to have foods like peaches, apples and sweet peppers so contaminated that eating them is, quite literally, taking your life onto your fork and into your hands.

That is what the industrialized food producers have done so far: introduced, with the blessings of our weak and dangerous government regulators who allegedly are keeping our food safe, chemicals and genetic alterations, irradiation and other degredations which have made our food not only unwholesome, but downright dangerous.

But WAIT!! There’s more. HR 875, S 425 and the associated bills working their way rapidly through our clueless (or worse!!!) Congress are fixing to make the current level of contamination look like Grandma’s home grown goodies. Click here to tell Congress in no uncertain terms that this set of bills must not pass and, if pass, MUST be ammended to protect home and organic food production, growing and farming.

HR 875 and S 425 (and their associated bills) provide for a level of industrial control of our food supply that will, not might, may, could or can, but WILL guarantee that you and your family WILL get sick from even more poisoned food. Maybe not this week, maybe not until a few years down the road, but nutritional under supply (from foods grown in soil fertilized with synthetic fertilizers and depleted from de mineralization never really corrected) and toxic overload WILL weaken your immune system, divert you from your life pursuits with chronic and often lethal illness. Freedom? You’ll be too sick to care.

Your food WILL be genetically modified. GMO crops require 4 times more pesticide than conventional ones and a great many of them require huge amounts of herbicides (like glyphosate or Roundup(C), a wildly dangerous chemical which is associated with cancer, infertility, auto immune diseases and more.

Roundup(C) is, of course, just one of a wide variety of horrifically toxic chemicals whose regulation these new laws put into the hands of unelected bureaucrats whose discretion is breathtaking. Their interest is not in food safety. Their interest is in serving the needs of their corporate masters, and their corporate masters’ masters.

If that does not ring right with you, take a look at the lethal mess our food supply is in today. And then consider that it is the US FDA and USDA, again serving their corporate masters, who run the show at Codex Alimentarius, bringing us horrific standards and guidelines which have the potential to degrade the health, and shorten the life, of every man, woman and child on the planet who eats food grown inside the corporate corral. Of course, for you and me, NOT doing so will be a crime. Saving seeds will be a crime. Growing pristine organic food (or better) will, if the laws currently under consideration are implemented, quickly become a criminal act. The SWAT teams who raided the Ohio family organic cooperative a couple of months ago, the raw milk farmer in Pennsylvania who was taken to jail for selling his clean product and a host of other food atrocities will look, I am afraid, like the “Good Old Days” should these laws reach their logical – and lethal – consequences.

Remember, the law is one thing. Contaminated food is quite another.

Government regulatory agencies regulate for the sake of corporate interests. Yours are nowhere to be seen, unless, of course, you are Monsanto. In fact, the Representative who introduced HR 875 is married, as was a previous, and deeply destructive long-time US Codex delegate, to a Monsanto lawyer. No accident.

The proposed new food agency and the new food powers (under these laws) are nothing short of cataclysmic and over the line insane from a health perspective. The Natural Solutions Foundation proposes removing ALL food regulatory power from the federal government which has, for about 80 years now, proven itself to be increasingly unable to push back the demands of industry, whether Big Pharma, Big Agribiz or Big Chema (or Big Medica, for that matter) weighed against the public good. Deadly drugs, deadly food, deadly environmental contamination and an unrelenting, accelerating assault on health aids like supplements and Nano silver are the result.

Click the link below to tell Congress that, while you want the FDA, USDA, EPA and other inept and dangerous government agencies stripped of their food regulatory powers and those powers returned to newly constructed agencies at the State level controlled by consumers, statutorily devoid of corporate impact or connection, with harsh penalties for any breech of the perimeter keeping industry out of food regulation, we oppose the pending bills, HR875 and S425 which do not contain language to protect family farms and ranches; organic and natural products.

When an agency or program has failed, the typical political situation is to throw money at it to “reform it”, making it bigger, giving it more powers and then watch it fail worse – followed by more money and more power.

This is precisely what has happened with the latest FDA modernization and revitalization bills. More money, more power, more curruption, less safety of either food or drugs.

Drugs you can avoid voluntarily. Food you cannot.

The Natural Solutions Foundation has been warning for several years that home grown and produced food, and organic food, would be coming under sustained and terminal attack. Unfortunately, we were right and that attack is being mounted now. Therefore, the counter thrust must be mounted now, and it must be swift, effective and decisive.

Food MUST be taken out of the hands of the corrupt federal agencies and given back to the people. And saved seed, a corner stone of liberty, along with clean, unadulterated food, MUST not be taken out of your hands and mine.

If you love fascism, sit back and do nothing. If you want to see farmers forced to leave their land and their livlihoods, unable to produce clean food for you, sit back and do nothing. If you want to be forbidden to grow, can, preserver or share your own good food in the US of farmland from sea to shining sea, sit back and do nothing.

If you want the laws of the US “HARMonized” with the draconian food laws of Europe, where a cucumber cannot be sold unless its curvature is correct and where the hundreds of seed companies that once flourished have been reduced to a rapidly dwindling handful, please, sit back and do nothing.

But if you, like me, are aghast at these options, then stand up and be counted. Start disseminating and rousing support for the following action items as if your very life (and that of your children and grandchildren) deepened upon it. Your life and their does depend upon it.

Click below to read a detailed analysis of HR 875 and S 425 and their frighteningly (and absurdly) vague permissiveness giving industry full reign over your food and therefore, your health.

Introduction
A Solemn Walk
Natural Solutions White Paper

———————————————-

Introduction

Food is becoming a battle ground like no other: freedom, survival, fascistic take over of a once-free people (more or less, at least), corporate triumph over independent producers – it’s all happening around food. And the mechanism is simple: a set of bills ostensibly devoted to “food safety” and “food security”.

Urgent Action Item:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

Tell Congress that the Farm Bills MUST be defeated. Time is short and the issue is of immense importance.

In essence, these bills are a sneak attack implementation of Codex Alimentarius. The Natural Solutions Foundation has been warning that organic farming and home growing, clean food and food freedom were under heavy attack. Here is the Mother of All Food Fascism Assaults and we still have some time to defeat it.

Congress often comes up with bad ideas. This is not just a bad idea: it is a catastrophically bad idea for health and freedom. In fact, it is nothing short of food tyranny and will kill not only organic farming, but lots of people as well, along with the entire private farming sector. Your own gardens are at risk as well.

I cannot urge you strongly enough to take action NOW (we have only a few days to create the urgent push-back needed to fend off this disastrous legislation. These are bad, deceptive and extraordinarily dangerous bills which make the eternal link between fascism and food crystal clear. But the bills are written in neutral, even calming tones. Please go to the articles below to read a brilliantly annotated version of the bills and a summary and learn just how dangerous they are. My thanks to Sue Diederich and Linn Cohen-Cole for their tireless work on this vital issue.

Just as –

~ “homeland security” is anything but assured by the Department of Homeland Security’s destruction of our rights,
~ “health” is not served by a healthcare system devoted to propagating illness for profit,
~ “democracy” is not served by corrupt voting machines and “man in the middle programs”

so food security and safety are not served by agencies and laws which –

~ drive independent farmers out of business,
~ forbid seed saving,
~ destroy safe food production and organic farming,
~ propagate dangerous and destructive industrial farming practices,
~ guarantee the total control of the food system by industrial forces known for unsafe food production while destroying the capacity of independent farmers to survive a regulatory onslaught created specifically to destroy them,
~ put home food production in jeopardy,
~ “HARMonize food production with pro-industry, pro-WTO controlled, lowest common denominator practices of Codex Alimentarius.

These are tragically solemn times calling for solemn re-dedication of each of us to the fight to retain and restore freedom. Food is just about the best place possible to start. Killing HR 875, S 425 and all related bills is the best place to start.

Click here (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714) to tell Congress in no uncertain terms how imperative killing these dastardly bills is to you. Then tell everyone you know how important this push-back is.

Now think for a moment how important this information is to your life, your liberty and your society. Would you have had it without the Natural Solutions Foundation? We work very hard at being your health freedom advocates and we need your help. Please make regular donations, small or large, to the Natural Solutions Foundation – an astounding 100% of your donations goes directly to our work. People write to us to tell us that you need us and we certainly need you. Click here (http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189) to make your tax deductible donation to the Natural Solutions Foundation.

This action, and this issue, cannot wait.

Solemn Walk Through HR 875
By Sue Diederich and Linn Cohen-Cole

Walk Index
First Walk: Myths and Misinformation
Second Walk: End of Organics
Third Walk: Meaning of the Bills
Fourth Walk: Conclusion

Introduction to the Walk

The Pennsylvania Sustainable Agriculture Association, PASA, sent out information about HR 875 which lists ‘facts’ to counter ‘myths’ and ‘rumors’ on the internet. It gives no specifics to back up its ‘facts,’ so the following close up view of the bill and accompanying commentary offers readers a chance to decide for themselves what is myth and what is fact. Neither of us are lawyers, but we both can read. Sue Diederich heads the Illinois Independent Consumers and Farmers Association, an organization formed to protect the rights of farmers and consumers to deal directly with each other without government interference.

PASA’s assertions are in regular lower case font, as are the inserted portions of the bill which have all been provided by Sue Diederich who also provides her own comments in italics usually. My comments are in bold face. [Note: these type faces have been altered from the original to permit publication in the program used to publish this blog which lacks color font options – Dr. Rima]

Occasionally, we feel something is essential for people to see and those comments are in CAPITAL LETTERS. (It should all be in CAPITAL LETTERS [font changed to allow publication in this program – Dr. Rima], really, since so few organizations appear to have read the bill or seem to know how to read the bill or have thought through its massive cumulative impact or been concerned at its endlessly broad reach and over incredibly vague things.)

People seem to expect the bill to be titled “The Criminalization of Organic Farming and the Take over of the US Food Supply,” and when they don’t see any words to that effect anywhere in the bill, they declare “this bill is fine” and those seeing dangers are “alarmists.” Do they think the industrial side is composed of fools? These are the same people who make cheery cereals with cartoon characters on the box when, inside, high fructose corn syrup is all over the cereal which comes from Bt-corn associated with diabetes. HFCS is, too, and there is an epidemic of diabetes here even among children. They know how to package. Why do people understand that industrial food inside a box can be a problem and yet are so innocent about looking at the bills, not realizing there is packaging there, too, or how much is at stake that the public and even legislators not see since this is about taking control. The industrial side isn’t stupid.

Understanding parts of the bill at times depends on smelling smoke as you read it. Here in the US, we still have only smoke … an Ohio state ag department SWAT team raid on an organic coop, Pennsylvania ag department raids on horse and buggy Mennonites, California setting coliform levels so low fresh milk dairy farmers would need cows that produced pasteurized milk right out the udder, arrest and handcuffing of a single mother in front of her children for selling goat milk, the USDA paying its agents bonuses for foreclosing on farms, … But in the EU where 60% of the Polish farmers are now gone because of identical bills enacted into law there, and 60 UK farmers have committed suicide, there is fire. And in Iraq, where they have been rendered helpless serfs by the theft of their country’s seeds and criminalization of farmers’ collection of their own seed, it is roaring. And in India where 182,000 farmers have committed suicide since the WTO and IMF got hold of agriculture and our Big Ag firms went in there, and 8 million farmers have left the land, it is out of control.

The WTO, run by the multinational meat packers and genetic engineering corporations, want HR 875, here. The bills are “harmonized” rules for globalization of food and lower food safety standards to allow for it. Those corporations are members of NIAA, a corporate consortium that brought NAIS, created by Anne Veneman, to the USDA to be made into law.

Walk Index
First Walk… Myths and Misinformation

We begin with PASA offering FWW’s take on the bills to its members:

Myths and Facts? H.R. 875 – The Food Safety Modernization Act

PASA members: The following information about a bill now before Congress, HR 875, was developed by our friends at Food and Water Watch, and forwarded to us by the National Sustainable Ag Coalition (NSAC), of which PASA is a member.

This Myth/Fact sheet was developed to help answer some of the rumors that are fairly rampant on the Internet right now. We will keep a close eye on the situation, and share further updates from NSAC as they become available. ?

MYTH: H.R. 875 “makes it illegal to grow your own garden” and would result in the “criminalization of the backyard gardner.”

FACT: There is no language in the bill that would regulate, penalize, or shut down backyard gardens. This bill is focused on ensuring the safety of foods sold in supermarkets.

Though private residences are not specifically included, nor are they specifically excluded. While this does not immediately affect home owners growing tomatoes in the backyard, entered testimony leaves the door open for just that in the future. Referring back to the Bio-Terrorism Act, in a discussion on this very topic and entered in the official record of debate on the interim rule, (bold/underline = mine), the same argument exists here and no new definitions or exclusions have been provided in HR 875 – and “reasonable” is a subjective term in theory as well as practice…

(13) FOOD ESTABLISHMENT-

(A) IN GENERAL- The term ‘food establishment’ means a

Slaughterhouse (except those regulated under the Federal Meat

Inspection Act or the Poultry Products Inspection Act), factory,

Warehouse, or facility owned or operated by a person located in

Any State that processes food or a facility that holds, stores,

Or transports food or food ingredients.

Now, every home in the country holds food after buying it from the

Grocery store. Will they be included too?

Hell, no. They’re going to be magnanimous and say that, while they could,

They won’t right now.

Excerpted from the same Interim Rule:

“(Response) FDA has concluded that private individual residences are
Not ”facilities” for purposes of the registration provision of the
Bioterrorism Act. Under the Bioterrorism Act, the term ”facility”
Includes ”any factory, warehouse, or establishment.” Congress did not Specify any definition for these terms.

Under their common meanings,
The terms can include private residences. For example, according to Webster’s II New Riverside University Dictionary (1994), the most
Relevant definition of ”establishment” is ”a business firm, club,
Institution, or residence, including its possessions and employees.”
However, ”[I]n determining whether Congress has specifically addressed

The question at issue, the court should not confine itself to examining
A particular statutory provision in isolation * * *.

It is a fundamental canon of statutory construction that the words of a
Statute must be read in their context and with a view to their place in
The overall statutory scheme.”’ FDA v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco
Corp., 529 U.S. 120, 121 (2000).

Other parts of the registration Provisions in section 415 of the FD&C Act indicate that Congress only Intended businesses to register, and raise a question as to whether Congress intended that private individual residences, even though food Is manufactured/processed, packed, or held at such residences, be Considered facilities.

For instance, a registrant is required to submit”the name and address of each facility at which, and all trade names Under which, the registrant conducts business * * * ” (21 U.S.C.
350d(a)(2)).

Thus it is unclear whether Congress intended all Individual private residences at which food is manufactured/processed, Packed, or held to be included in the term ”facility.” Furthermore, The requirement that a facility submit its ”name” as well as its ”trade names” raises a question as to whether Congress intended ”facility” to include private individual residences since it is Unlikely that a home would have a name or a trade name.

Where the words Of the statute are ambiguous, an agency may make a reasonable Interpretation of the statute. Chevron, USA, Inc. V. NRDC, Inc., 467 U.S. 837, 842-843 (1984); Brown & Williamson, supra, at 132.

Consistent with the language of section 415(a)(2) discussed
Previously, the agency concludes that interpreting the term
”facility” to exclude private individual residences is a reasonable
Construction for purposes of registration.

This interpretation, However, does not necessarily preclude a reasonable construction of Other provisions of the FD&C Act to include such residences.”
[I do get that residences are easily included.]

MYTH: H.R. 875 would mean a “goodbye to farmers markets” because the bill would “require such a burdensome complexity of rules, inspections, licensing, fees, and penalties for each farmer who wishes to sell locally – a fruit stand, at a farmers market.” ?

FACT: There is no language in the bill that would result in farmers markets being regulated, penalized any fines, or shut down. Farmers markets would be able to continue to flourish under the bill. In fact, the bill would insist that imported foods meet strict safety standards to ensure that unsafe imported foods are not competing with locally-grown foods.

SECTION 406 CLEARLY STATES ALL FOOD OFFERED FOR SALE WILL BE VIEWED AS BEING IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE AND SUBJECT TOT HE PROVISIONS OF THIS BILL.

C. 406. PRESUMPTION.

In any action to enforce the requirements of the food safety law, the connection with interstate commerce required for jurisdiction shall be presumed to exist

8) CATEGORY 4 FOOD ESTABLISHMENT- The term ‘category 4 food establishment’ means a food establishment that processes all other categories of food products not described in paragraphs (5) through (7).

(9) CATEGORY 5 FOOD ESTABLISHMENT- The term ‘category 5 food establishment’ means a food establishment that stores, holds, or transports food products prior to delivery for retail sale.

14) FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITY- The term ‘food production facility’ means any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation.

[SUE, say it again and again, “this applies to farms and can apply to homes.” It certainly looks to me that families baking cookies for bake sales could easily be included.]

SEC. 206. FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITIES.

(a) Authorities- In carrying out the duties of the Administrator and the purposes of this Act, the Administrator shall have the authority, with respect to food production facilities, to–

(1) visit and inspect food production facilities in the United States and in foreign countries to determine if they are operating in compliance with the requirements of the food safety law;

(2) review food safety records as required to be kept by the Administrator under section 210 and for other food safety purposes;

(3) set good practice standards to protect the public and animal health and promote food safety;

(4) conduct monitoring and surveillance of animals, plants, products, or the environment, as appropriate; and

(5) collect and maintain information relevant to public health and farm practices.

(b) Inspection of Records- A food production facility shall permit the Administrator upon presentation of appropriate credentials and at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, to have access to and ability to copy all records maintained by or on behalf of such food production establishment in any format (including paper or electronic) and at any location, that are necessary to assist the Administrator–

(1) to determine whether the food is contaminated, adulterated, or otherwise not in compliance with the food safety law; or

(2) to track the food in commerce.

(c) Regulations- Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator, in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture and representatives of State departments of agriculture, shall promulgate regulations to establish science-based minimum standards for the safe production of food by food production facilities. Such regulations shall–

(1) consider all relevant hazards, including those occurring naturally, and those that may be unintentionally or intentionally introduced;

(2) require each food production facility to have a written food safety plan that describes the likely hazards and preventive controls implemented to address those hazards;

(3) include, with respect to growing, harvesting, sorting, and storage operations, minimum standards related to fertilizer use, nutrients, hygiene, packaging, temperature controls, animal encroachment, and water;

THEY NEVER MENTION SEEDS BUT THIS IS PRECISELY HOW THEY WILL CRIMINALIZE SEED BANKING AND ALL HOLDINGS OF SEEDS.

[Notice they mention harvesting, sorting and storage operations, then watch below.

To follow how this will be done, you must understand that:

1. there is a small list inside the FDA called “sources of seed contamination”
2. in which they have now defined “seed” as food,
3. so seeds can be controlled under “food safety.”
Those seeds (so far) include:

seeds eaten raw such as flax, poppy sesame, etc.;
sprouting seeds such as wheat, beans, alfalfa, most greens, etc.;
seeds pressed into oils such as corn, sunflower, canola, etc.;
seeds used as animal feed such as soy ….

That is most seeds. Seeds are essential to life and thus to freedom.

The “sources of seed contamination” include six little items:

agricultural water
manure (but NOT chemical pesticides or fertilizers)
harvesting, transporting and seed cleaning equipment
seed storage facilities

What you must realize is that seed cleaning equipment is THE single most critical piece of equipment for sustainable agriculture. It is how we save organic seed. It is the machinery used after plants “go to seed” to separate out (sort) the seeds from the plant material so the farmer can collect (harvest) and then save (put in storage) seed for the next year at little cost. With his own seed, the farmer stays free of patented, genetically engineered, corporately privatized seeds.

You must also understand that Monsanto is getting rid of the people who do the seed cleaning and many other means of our having access to seed .

This year, 2009, seed cleaning equipment is now illegal in some parts of the country which tips us off to both the intent to control seeds in this way and to how they could do things under this bill.

How can they make such vital equipment illegal? Quietly, and by saying it contaminates food.

“Contaminate” is their favorite word since the public fears the deadly contamination that industry itself – not farmers – has caused. Scare the public and thus push for “food safety standards” to be set.

And to eliminate seed cleaning equipment, they haven now set the standards so seed cleaning (the simple separation of seed from plant) will now require a million to a million and a half dollar building and/or equipment … per line of seed.

So, a farmer who has been seed cleaning flax for 40 years with a hand made seed cleaner can’t sell flax on the market anymore, though there are NO instances of anyone ever having gotten sick from seed cleaning equipment. A farmer who has been cleaning wheat, corn and soy each year with the same perfectly fine equipment would now need three to four and half million dollars for three pieces of equipment to continue.

(The FDA isn’t so bar-setting when it comes to other things like melamine in baby formula, though it is proven to sicken and kill infants), initially denying the melamine was in our baby formula and then quickly inventing a “foods safety” standard to okay it.)

Organic farmers are not aware of this happening, perhaps because the left is being treated with kid gloves until HR 875 and related bills are/were passed. Meanwhile, the FDA and USDA have been tromping on traditional (many of them farming organically, by the way) farmers for years. The organic community is disconnected from them so hasn’t been aware of what is happening to them. Indie farmers have a history of no one listening to them, which is too bad because it is they who are the ones bringing the warning that these bills are deadly. The organic community, measuring against its own seeming safety, hasn’t heard or understood.

NOTICE, THOUGH, THAT BECAUSE A SINGLE “FOODS SAFETY” BAR HAS BEEN RAISED, IN TIME ON ONE WILL BE ABLE TO GET ORGANIC SEEDS IN ANY NUMBER BECAUSE IT WILL BE ILLEGAL FOR ALL FARMERS TO SELL THEM TO ANYONE.

Now, look at the last item on the list – seed storage facilities.

They would be careful not to ban them all outright given the extreme reaction they would get. But now the method is more clear. “Food safety” is the weapon and public fear is the driver and they only need to set the bar at the level that is impossible to meet.

Farmers, gardeners, seed saving exchanges, seed companies, scientific seed projects, and seed banks, all require “seed storage facilities.” All are working overtime to protect biodiversity that is rapidly disappearing because of … genetic engineering.

Set the standard for “food safety” and certification high enough that no one can afford it and punish anyone who tries to save seed in a multitude of ways that have worked fine for thousands of years, and PRESTO, YOU HAVE JUST CRIMINALIZED SEED BANKING.

The penalties, I will assume, will be tremendous, the better to protect us from nothing dangerous whatever, but to make monopoly over seed more absolute. One is left with control over farmers, and end to seed exchanges, to organic seed companies, to university programs developing nice normal hybrids.

When you know that Monsanto with the help of the US government plundered ancient and rare seed banks in Iraq that held seeds with a genetic heritage (a biohistory belonging to all of us) going back 1000s of years and then made it a crime for farmers there to collect or use their own normal and non-patented seeds off their own land, you see how extreme the intent to control is.

Now, perhaps it is possible to see how the identical thing is being done here, only it comes in a heavily, heavily disguised way – through “food safety” that isn’t at all – and in only one tiny little paragraph within a very large bill.

The Iraqis are now abjectly dependent on Monsanto and the US for survival itself and will have to pay whatever prices are set for food. They cannot just grow their own and be free. So, no matter what form of government they may have, they are now slaves because the control over them is that extreme. Kissinger was right – control food and you control people.

    WE ARE INCHES FROM THIS OURSELVES. THE LEFT NEEDS TO WAKE UP.

This trick of setting bars above any ability to be in the game, is similar to how blacks had been treated. Click here. This trick of setting bars above any ability to be in the game while imposing fines that destroy people who fail to meet that standard, is sadistic. Then, taking the land as confiscatory payment, is theft by government become totalitarian and colonizing its own people.

There are other items of the list which surely will be controlled as well. In toto, that little list is the deconstruction of farming itself and given the inclusion of manure, especially of organic farming.]

(4) include, with respect to animals raised for food, minimum standards related to the animal’s health, feed, and environment which bear on the safety of food for human consumption;

(5) provide a reasonable period of time for compliance, taking into account the needs of small businesses for additional time to comply;

(6) provide for coordination of education and enforcement activities by State and local officials, as designated by the Governors of the respective States; and

(7) include a description of the variance process under subsection (d) and the types of permissible variances which the Administrator may grant under such process.

(d) Variances- States and foreign countries that export produce intended for consumption in the United States may request from the Administrator variances from the requirements of the regulations under subsection (c). A request shall–

(1) be in writing;

(2) describe the reasons the variance is necessary;

(3) describe the procedures, processes, and practices that will be followed under the variance to ensure produce is not adulterated; and

(4) contain any other information required by the Administrator.

(e) Approval or Disapproval of Variances- If the Administrator determines after review of a request under subsection (d) that the requested variance provides equivalent protections to those promulgated under subsection (c), the Administrator may approve the request. The Administrator shall deny a request if it is–

(1) not sufficiently detailed to permit a determination;

(2) fails to cite sufficient grounds for allowing a variance; or

(3) does not provide reasonable assurances that the produce will not be adulterated.

(f) Enforcement- The Administrator may coordinate with the agency or department designated by the Governor of each State to perform activities to ensure compliance with this section.

(g) Imported Produce- Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall promulgate regulations to ensure that raw agricultural commodities and minimally processed produce imported into the United States can meet standards for food safety, inspection, labeling, and consumer protection that are at least equal to standards applicable to such commodities and produce produced in the United States.

Administrator shall have authority to grant exclusions to foreign producers.

[While it may be obvious to us that this is onerous beyond any capability of coping with it, it needs to be said and described in some detail what it would actually mean for farmers or for us. Here in story form is a taste of it, so anyone could feel the insanity of it:

SEC. 201. ADMINISTRATION OF NATIONAL PROGRAM.

(a) In General- The Administrator shall–

(1) develop, administer, and annually update a national food safety program (referred to in this section as the ‘program’) to protect public health; and

(2) ensure that persons who produce, process, or distribute food meet their responsibility to prevent or minimize food safety hazards related to their products.

[This is where I think it would be very helpful if you explained how astoundingly onerous that long list is and what its impact would be on any farmer who previously only needed to load up his goods and bringing them to a farmers market – though that in itself is a time consuming, physically effortful job that often begins pre-dawn on those mornings and ends late in the day, all of it separate from growing the food and boxing it up to bring.

A small farm is not an industry with staff to fill out paperwork, handle licensing, manage all the industrial bureaucracy that is being loaded on here, but is most often a couple who is also taking care of a family in addition to growing crops and raising animals. These are precisely the people who we need most as part of our food system and how will clearly be crushed by the grossly inappropriate application of such rules to small farms.]

· MYTH: H.R. 875 would result in the “death of organic farming.”

FACT: There is no language in the bill that would stop organic farming. The National Organic Program (NOP) is under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Food Safety Modernization Act only addresses food safety issues under the jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
[Of course, they are not going to come straight out and say it. But breaking this down to what is actually involved, you find that:]

The administrator is charged with developing minimum standards, not maximum limits on feed, fertilizers, nutrients etc- right here goes organics.

Secondly, this act creates a new agency, and the FDA becomes the Federal Drug and Device Agency. It combines offices currently under FDA and Commerce Department (National Marine Fisheries).

Third, FSA is to cooperate with the USDA in “promulgating rules and orders” which will have the bearing and impact of law.
To refer back to the previous “Myth”

[The one about foreign food having to meet our standard, right?]

– Alaska, Hawaii, US territories and foreign countries may apply for variances, so… NO… Imported foods do NOT necessarily have to meet the same standards. In fact, many countries have had to lower their standards due to WTO rules and trade agreements, and Australia had to further lower their regulatory standards when they instituted the NLIS program (their version of NAIS). There is no reason to think we would not have to do the same.

Second Walk… The End of Organic Farming

[NOW, COMES THE RESPONSE TO WHETHER THE BILLS WILL MEAN THE END OF ORGANIC FARMING.]

I’m going to format this differently to accentuate your points, Sue. This section should be a major education for people in how things have been working. This is in response to the myth that the bills will not affect organic farming, right?]

Animal health has traditionally meant medication and hormones, petroleum-based fly sprays and all sorts of other goodies.

Feed can be anything (GMO SOY OR CORN, ANYONE?),

environment can mean PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES USED ON PASTURES (IF pasturing is deemed “healthy” – internationally this is NOT so for poultry, in fact in many countries there is NO outdoor poultry anymore – by law).

Nutrients are not necessarily whole food based, many are produced SYNTHETICally, and again, PETROLEUM BASED …

Animal encroachment prevention can be anything from a scarecrow or plastic owl to POISON BATES AND BULLETS. Not one of these things is specified, yet there is no place for real public opinion in the decision making process provided. I will grant that there is usually a public comment period for federal register entries, for whatever that has been worth in the past.
[Meaning, it has been worth little to nothing. And obviously, the public is left having to respond ad infinitum to one issue after another. Someone compared the numbers of things being thrown at us to try to stop, to carpet bombing so you can’t comment on everything, even if it helped which is clearly often doesn’t.]

SEC. 206. FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITIES.

(a) AUTHORITIES.—In carrying out the duties of the Administrator and the purposes of this Act, the Administrator shall have the authority, with respect to food production facilities, to

(1) visit and inspect food production facilities in the United States and in foreign countries to determine if they are operating in compliance with the requirements of the food safety law;

(2) review food safety records as required to be kept by the Administrator under section 210 and for other food safety purposes;

(3) SET GOOD PRACTICE STANDARDS to protect the public and animal health and promote food safety;
[This is where words that sound so friendly and innocuous and even good are code words for international rules set by the WTO that actually define industrial requirements which do not fit real farming in the least, much less organic farming, would be applied.

[This is where insane, anti-nature, anti-farming rules like “animals and crops can’t exist on the same farm” come into play. Where wild animals aren’t ever supposed to be near crops so the government has been poisoning deer and frogs. The list of such manufacturing rules for farming is long, and each very much “efficiency manager comes and wrecks the farm.”]

(4) conduct monitoring and surveillance of animals, plants, products, or the environment, as appropriate; and
[Please, those of you who find the idea of NSA-spying intolerable, look carefully at those words. Now, imagine it were your farm, your home on that farm, and realize that the USDA and FDA have been run by and the new agency will be run by Monsanto, Cargill, Tysons, ADM. Their interest in helping consumers have safer food is nil The bills are meant to eliminate farmers as is now rapidly occurring in the EU with identical (“harmonized”) bills, now law there.

(5) collect and maintain information relevant to public health and farm practices.
[There needs to be a pause here to consider the implications of each of those on someone’s home – their family’s farm. This is quite different from applying them to industrial sites where no one lives, and beyond that, these powers are so broad and vague, they are dangerous if only in that.

Those things listed open the door to total control, warrantless entry and perpetual surveillance. Notice how innocuous they have made it appear, even beneficial – always about public health. Yet, the insincerity of this is boggling – the USDA and Big Ag have worked to prevent inspections to the point where farmers have had to actully sue to get them done , even after offering to pay for them.]

(b) INSPECTION OF RECORDS.—A food production facility shall permit the Administrator upon presentation of appropriate credentials and at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner
[Who defines “reasonable”? Does a farmer have to go to court each time there is an “unreasonable” manner and time? How wide open do we push the door to Big Ag-corrupted government control over farmers – the people creating the only safe food?

Look carefully and realize the USDA right now is countenancing state ag departments conducting terrorizing raids on non-corporate farms across the country. Imagine it were your home and USDA agents banging on your door to demand paper work and if you don’t have it, facing fines that would bankrupt you in a moment and lose you your land and home.]

, to have access to and ability to copy all records maintained by or on behalf of such food production establishment in any format (including paper or electronic) and at any location, that are necessary to assist the Administrator—
[Imagine again.]

(1) to determine whether the food is contaminated, adulterated, or otherwise not in compliance with the food safety law; or
[Be aware that in Pennsylvania where there has been an aggressive effort to destroy fresh milk dairy farmers, the tests by the states repeatedly do not match those of independent testers but the harm to farmers from such false tests and reporting of them is done and can’t be undone. Be aware that the USDA has a record of creating test results damaging to small farmers while it refuses to inspect even when farmers ask to pay.]

(2) to track the food in commerce.
[This could mean farmers bringing food to markets with USDA agents surveilling.]

(c) REGULATIONS.—Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator, in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture and representatives of State departments of agriculture, shall promulgate regulations to establish science-based minimum standards for the safe production of food by food production facilities. Such regulations shall—
[Everything in this bill is being left to be filled in however the “Food Safety Tsar” – “the Administrator” decides? Right now, to give people pause and to wake them up a bit to how this is not a wise idea but in fact absurd, it appears that person could be Michael Taylor, a Monsanto lawyer infamous for approving rBGH – the first genetically engineered product ever approved – over the objections of doctors, scientists who said the numbers were being rigged, and the public.

How can anyone leave a bill so utterly vague in the hands of anyone to decide later what it all means? Do we not make laws here with specific meaning anymore? Or do we simply let totalitarian rules be applied by industry against non-industrial entities like farms and homes in any way they wish and with immense police power behind what they, for their own interests, decide?]

(1) consider all relevant hazards, including those occurring naturally, and those that may be unintentionally or intentionally introduced;
[GOODBY RAW MILK.]

(2) require each food production facility to have a written food safety plan that describes the likely hazards and preventive controls implemented to address those hazards;

(3) include, with respect to growing, harvesting, sorting, and storage operations, minimum standards related to fertilizer use, NUTRIENTS, HYGIENE, PACKAGING, TEMPERATURE CONTROLS, ANIMAL ENCROACHMENT, AND WATER;

[GOODBYE ORGANIC FARMING.]

(4) include, with respect to animals raised for food, MINIMUM STANDARDS related to the animal’s HEALTH, FEED AND ENVIRONMENT which bear on the safety of food for human consumption;
[GOODBYE ORGANIC FARMING AND GRASS FED ANIMALS.]

(5) provide a reasonable period of time for compliance, taking into account the needs of small businesses for additional time to comply;
[Oh, heavens, this looks like padding to throw in the word “reasonable” again but it has no explicit meaning whatever and so no safety for a soul.]

(6) provide for coordination of education and enforcement activities by State and local officials, as designated by the Governors of the respective States; and

[This appears to be where Homeland Security works with the USDA for such things as “depopulation of animals” – for which 6 meetings are already scheduled in June and into which livestock owners are not allowed though foreigners are.

These “depopulation” plans look like what is happening in Asia where animal disease caused by industry (and worth a fortune to the pharmaceutical industry ) are then used by industry to wipe out its competition in heritage breeds of animals on small farms and to substitute genetically engineered animals that are patented by industry and thus owned by industry.

(7) include a description of the variance process under subsection (d) and the types of permissible variances which the Administrator may grant under such process.

(d) VARIANCES.—

    States and foreign countries that export produce intended for consumption in the United States may request from the Administrator variances from the requirements of the regulations under subsection (c)

.
[This is where the “fact” that foreign countries must meet our food safety requirements collapses by simply reading the bill.]

MYTH: The bill would implement a national animal ID system.?

FACT: There is no language in the bill that would implement a national animal ID system. Animal identification issues are under the jurisdiction of the USDA. The Food Safety Modernization Act addresses issues under the jurisdiction of the FDA.

This bill mandates NAIS BY claiming that it is already law,

then contradicts itself by citing COOL, which specifically prohibits mandatory tracking.

It justifies NAIS by claiming that the AHPA gives authority – but this is a bill (and supposedly a program) concerning interstate commerce (though any item of food for sale is “presumed” to be in interstate commerce, whether it is in reality or not.) and AHPA does not regulate interstate commerce.

How many contradictions in a single section do we need before red flags go up?
[YES, AND PUT UP RED FLAGS FOR WHOLE BILLS IF THIS CENTRAL PART IS SO CORRUPTLY BEING PUSHED.]

Below in CAPITALS [fonts altered – Dr. Rima] , Sue answers the absurd claim that NAIS is not mandatory. FWW has gotten this and many other items wrong. That would be fine if the whole organic movement and all our farms and freedom were not riding on our seeing these very real threats and stopping those bills completely – not compromising on them but demanding their complete withdrawal.]

(a) IN GENERAL – THE ADMINISTRATOR, IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SHALL ESTABLISH A NATIONAL TRACEABILITY SYSTEM THAT ENABLES THE ADMINISTRATOR TO RETRIEVE THE HISTORY, USE AND LOCATION OF AN ARTICLE OF FOOD THROUGH ALL STAGES OF ITSPRODUCTION, PROCESSIN, AND DISTRIBUTION.

(b) APPLICABILITY – TRACEABILITY REQUIREMENTS UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY TO FOOD FROM FOOD PRODUCTION FACILITIES, FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS, AND FOREIGN FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS.

(c) REQUIREMENTS-

(1) STANDARDS- THE ADMINISTRATOR SHALL ESTABLISH STANDARDS FOR THE TYPE OF INFORMATION, FORMAT, AND TIMEFRAME FOR FOOD PRODUCTION FACILTITIES AND FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS TO SUBMIT RECORDS TO AID THE ADMINISTRATOR IN EFFECTIVELY RETRIEVING THE HISTORY, USE AND LOCATION OF AN ITEM OF FOOD.

(2) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION- Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring the Administrator to prescribe a specific technology for the maintenance of records or labeling of food to carry out the requirements of this section.

(3) AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS FOR INSPECTION- Any records that are required by the Administrator under this section shall be available for inspection by the Administrator upon oral or written request.

(4) DEMONSTRATION OF ABILITY- The Administrator, during any inspection, may require a food establishment to demonstrate its ability to trace an item of food and submit the information in the format and time frame required under paragraph (1).

(d) Relationship to Other Requirements-

(1) CONSISTENCY WITH EXISTING STATUTES AND REGULATIONS- To the extent possible, the Administrator should establish the national traceability system under this section to be consistent with existing statutes and regulations that require recordkeeping or labeling for identifying the origin or history of food or food animals.

[Does this mean consistent with international laws under the WTO? Is this a means of locking everything together into Smart Grid or NAFTA or CAFTA or GATT and even, the worst of all,

    CODEX

?]

(2) EXISTING LAWS- For purposes of this subsection, the Administrator should review the following:

(A) Country of origin labeling requirements of subtitle D of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1638 et seq.).

(B) The Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act of 1930 (7 U.S.C. 499a-t).

(C) Country of origin labeling requirements of section 304 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1340).

(D) The National Animal Identification System as authorized by the Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.).

EC. 210. TRACEBACK REQUIREMENTS.

MYTH: The bill is supported by the large agribusiness industry.?

FACT: No large agribusiness companies have expressed support for this bill.

This bill is being supported by several Members of Congress who have strong progressive records on issues involving farmers markets, organic farming, and locally-grown foods.

[Who almost certainly have not read the bills or can’t interpret how it will work to destroy farmers, organic food, seed banking, and all of us.]

Also, H.R. 875 is the only food safety legislation that has been supported by all the major consumer and food safety groups, including:

[Perhaps others know details on each organization and why they might be supporting a bill that is so threatening to real food safety and to the survival of our farms and organic farming.]

?– Center for Foodborne Illness Research & Prevention

?– Center for Science in the Public Interest

?– Consumer Federation of America

The Consumer Federation of America (CFA) is a long-standing consumer organization based in Washington, DC. However, it has accepted funding from the ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION to “develop an optimum regulatory regime” for genetically engineered food.

?– Consumers Union?– Food & Water Watch

[Food and Water Watch just put out a description of the bill in which it is apparent they do not understand what is in it and what it will do. With that as their starting point, they support it.]

?– The Pew Charitable Trusts

[They are also connected to the ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION, and involved with them in mandatory vaccinations programs around the world and issues of reducing population.]

?– Safe Tables Our Priority ?– Trust for America’s Health

[There is no list here of groups opposing this bill, which include the people whose lives are most at risk from it and who know its dangers the best and who should have been the first people consulted. Instead, they have been shut out and when they have tried to report extreme dangers, they have ignored, dismissed, marginalized. Perhaps the other organizations listed here are as unfamiliar with the bill’s contents and ramifications as FWW.]

If you consider that not only is Rosa DeLauro married to Stanley Greenberg, who boasts Monsanto as one of his clients, but also that she receives the largest donations from agribusiness PAC’s of just about anyone in Congress, does industry NEED to come out and say they support this particular bill? If cash to the sponsor doesn’t count, and if formal positions supporting various specific aspects of the bill do not count, then what does? Would there not be massive public backlash against it if industry DID take a formal stand on every bill they want to see passed?

By the same token, I’ve not seen a single industrial ag company come out and oppose this bill, either. They have all been conspicuously silent. I seem to remember that they threw up quite a fuss over COOL, and caused enforcement to fall behind by more than 7 years… Not to mention the garbage with loopholes we’ve had to deal with since enforcement began. (What good does a “Canada, US, Mexico” label do for anybody? Especially with BSE in Canada and TB coming in daily from Mexico?) Where’s the hoot and holler over this?

MYTH: The bill will pass the Congress next week without amendments or debate.?

FACT: Food safety legislation has yet to be considered by any Congressional committee.?

I can’t speak to the time frame. [Note from NSF: our sources “on the Hill” told us they believed these bills had been “fast tracked” to be passed during President Obama’s “First 100 Days”]

[It came from those who first discovered the bills were there, inserted only one week after Vilsack had said the USDA wasn’t even considering centralizing the FDA and USDA at this time, so people saw how similar the bills were, knew who fast other things were being shoved through Congress without even reading those bills, and estimated how fast this could happen.

Perhaps with people alerted now, these bogus “food safety” bills can be stopped by the organic community once it realizes they will utterly destroy it.]

However, since I did have the luxury of listening to the farce taking place on the floor of the House of Representatives on March 11 concerning HR1105 (which FUNDS NAIS among its hundreds of other projects) while awaiting the Livestock, Dairy and Poultry subcommittee hearing on NAIS – I have no doubt that this bill will move quickly now that 1105 has passed and since it has so many co-sponsors.

Especially since the Representatives were honest enough to admit that though the Senators claimed everybill in the Omnibus Act had been heard and passed in the previous session, when in actuality, some 100 of the 170 bills in the package had NOT.

But this is my personal opinion.

The “ominous Omnibus Act” as several Representatives called it, went from introduction to the President in less than 13 working days.

I really have to question just who’s side those groups are really on that are in support of this bill…..

And finally,

Third Walk… Meaning of the Bills

WHAT THE NEW “FOOD SAFETY” BILLS MEAN TO YOU
by Gail Combs

Our food safety system was trashed in 1995 by Sec of Ag Ann Veneman (Board member of Monsanto). She appointed Dan Amstutz (VP of Cargill) who wrote the World Trade Organization Agreement on Agriculture (WTO AoA). Unlike GATT, WTO has major clout from trade sanctions and control of 90% of the international trade. http://www.publiceyeonscience.ch/images/the_wto_and_the_politics_of_gmo.doc

“Aims to ensure that governments do not use quarantine and food safety requirements as Unjustified trade barriers.. It provides Member countries with a right to implement traceability {NAIS} as an SPS measure.” WTO

In other words the WTO did away with “quarantine and food safety requirements” that gave us “the safest food in the world” and is graciously going to allow Farmers to track AND COUNT the world’s livestock for them instead. Now HR 875 and an FDA release indicate All food will be tracked and all food producers will have Food inspections and the threat of fines up to $1,000,000 a day will eliminate all the independent farms that have acted as a check on Corporate AG.

The FDA wants

to implement a more effective trace-back process, using technologies to rapidly and precisely track the origin and destination of contaminated foods, feed and ingredients

Nanotech in Food can make it happen “California’s Oxonica makes Nanobarcodes from nano-particles that contain silver and gold stripes varying in width, length and amount, such that billions of combinations can be created to tag individual products. The barcodes have been primarily used to assure brand and authenticity in pharmaceuticals, but applications could be forthcoming in tracing food batches”.

In regard to pets:

HR 875 uses “animals” and then “animals raised for food” and there are no exclusions. The Animal Welfare Act had exclusions for livestock, pets and people raising three or less litters of puppies a year. Therefore pets are not excluded.

“set good practice standards to protect the public and animal health and promote food safety”

“conduct monitoring and surveillance of animals, plants, products, or the environment, as appropriate”

“with respect to animals raised for food, minimum standards related to the animal’s health, feed, and environment which bear on the safety of food for human consumption;

In regard to gardens:

The Feds Already have plans for controlling food “FROM FARM TO FORK” including home preparation since September of 1995 (WTO ratified in 1995)
HR 875

“require each food production facility to have a written food safety plan that describes the likely hazards and preventive controls implemented to address those hazards;”

“include, with respect to growing, harvesting, sorting, and storage operations, minimum standards related to fertilizer use, nutrients, hygiene, packaging, temperature controls, animal encroachment, and water”

“include, with respect to animals raised for food, minimum standards related to the animal’s health, feed, and environment which bear on the safety of food for human consumption;”

“set good practice standards to protect the public and animal health and promote food safety”

“..facility owned or operated by a person located in any State that processes food or a facility that holds, stores, or transports food or food ingredients.”

Notice it does not say a person SELLING food, it says a person holds, stores, or transports food or food ingredients. The bill specifically states it covers commerce with in state but again there is no exclusion for food raised for home use. The fact you are growing veggies for your and friends and not selling them does not exclude you.

“in any action to enforce the requirements of the food safety law, the connection with interstate commerce required for jurisdiction SHALL BE PRESUMED TO EXIST.”

Under Ag Sec. Veneman …

in September, 1995, the USDA’s Food Safety & Inspection Service presented a 600-page document “Farm-To-Table” intended to control of every step in the food chain from production to home preparation.
This is a real life example of what has already occurred and what people may have in store:

Today a state Ag inspector and two county officials show up and scare the bee-jesus out of me. First they accuse me of selling products and milk, then explain that even “giving milk products away” is illegal in California. Now everything is pasteurized, but it is illegal to share milk products in any form! They explained it was even ILLEGAL to give it to my own children if they did not live under my roof! I can’t even take a lasagna dish to my grown sons home without risk of being fined, arrested and or jailed! This is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!…..” Donna Tue Aug 12, 2008 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Americans_Against_NAIS/message/26452

Last Walk… Conclusion

The related package of “food safety” bills are totalitarian. There are no two ways about it.

They allow government warrantless intrusion into and extreme, detailed, surveilled control over every aspect of farmers’ land and home, straight-jacketing them into a bureaucratic nightmare which precludes their even functioning as farmers. And yet for real food safety and for food security, it is exactly farmers we need.

We need the real food they produce and the farmland they spare and protect from industrialization and the heritage animals and seeds they raise and their knowledge about nature and animals, and we need the way of life they represent. Free. How interesting that to have real and clean and wholesome food, it requires that farmers have freedom.

These bills which claim to be about “food safety” but are proven in the EU already to be about the destruction of farmers, are so frighteningly broad, they allow the government to take over our lives, too. They allow the government to use rules written by multinational corporations within the WTO, to control whether we can garden or how, whether we chip our pets, even what happens inside our homes in our kitchens.

These controls all all for mandating things that make money for corporations just as we are all trying to get off the corporate grid of power, fuel, food, … Now it is easy to appreciate people’ resistance to mandated vaccines (and they keep adding more kinds).

There is point at which we must say stop. Our lives are our own, our property is our own, our decisions on what to eat and how to heal ourselves are our own. We must protect our own freedom and now it is apparent how intimately tied it is those who have been providing for us for ever – our farmers.

HR 875, SR 425, HR 814, HR 759 and all related bills must be withdrawn immediately and then trashed.
