Why Would You Buy a Ticket to Panama?

There are a number of reasons, all of them good ones, that I can think of.
Here are some of them, in no particular rank order:
1. You are interested in finding out more about the Natural Solutions Foundation’s Valley of the Moon™Eco Demonstration Project and how it might fit your needs. You have visited www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org and www.MyValleyoftheMoon.org and you are intrigued. Of course, you are welcome at any time but you might want to join Trustee Ralph Fucetola and a group of people for their next visit here (tentative dates: January 19 – 27, 2011). Contact us at dr.laibow@gmail.com, subject PANAMA, for more information.
2. You know that the US is in the process of seizing both IRAs and 401s and “guaranteeing” them with the “strength” of the US Dollar to provide you with an “annuity” of 3% interest and you are not at all happy with this option. You know that you can still place your retirement funds offshore and are seriously considering this option.
3. You want to live in a community of like-minded people with a secure, BeyondOrganic food supply, natural medical center and other services and you want to do it outside the US.
4. You want to help to reclaim the production of clean, unadulterated food around the world through your support of, and connection with, the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project in Volcan, Panama. You don’t have to be a farmer to do so!
5. You want to attend our outstanding seminars and workshops, like Angela Malek’s “Living, Eating and Healing with the 5 Element Theory” Workshop from January 9 – 15, 2011. Watch a short video with Angela here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKmOB6VdctQ to get the “flavor”. Interested? Contact us at dr.laibow@gmail.com with “5 Elements” as your subject line. More information: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=7035 — Space is strictly limited!
6. You love good food and the idea of reclaiming its production. You love eating it, too, and you can’t wait to eat at our gourmet organic restaurant!
7. You want to volunteer your time and talents at the Valley of the Moon! Again, use our dr.laibow@gmail.com address with “Volunteer” in the subject line.
Short Takes

Vaccines on the March
“With the multiple limitations of conventional production of influenza vaccine in eggs – a time-consuming 50-year-old method that involves growing the flu virus in hens’ eggs, breaking the eggs open and purifying the vaccine antigens – developments in new production platforms, including insect cells, fungi and plants are evolving quickly….Topics covered in the three day conference include biological efficacy of new vaccine applications, scale-up and manufacturing of new production platforms, clinical experience and regulatory pat, novel approaches to vaccine development and global perspectives on harmonizing vaccine development and manufacturing regulations.” http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/204204.php
So Much for the “Gonna Kill Us All Swine Flu Pandemic”
“Local agencies in Ohio to return federal funding from H1N1 virus to state health department… The money will be redistributed to prepare for another pandemic…..Officials say public demand dropped off after priority groups including pregnant women and young children had been vaccinated.” http://www.fox8.com/news/sns-ap-oh–swineflu-money,0,5981100.story
“According to the study, which has been published in the journal Vaccine, 20.9% of the mothers surveyed in Spain have had some concern about the safety of vaccines, compared with just 8.1% in Switzerland and 4.1% in Norway.”
“When asked whether they would continue vaccinating their children in the future, the agreement rate was high in all countries (more than 90%), except in the United Kingdom (80.9%). “This is due to the fact that in Britain people have been immersed in the polemic caused by the MMR vaccine – measles, mumps, rubella for more than 10 years, and there is some rejection of this vaccine”, the Spanish researcher says. “http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/203923.php

It’s getting to be that time of year again… FLU SEASON!
And that means more “recommended” and even “mandated” vaccines!
Read our Vaccine Talking Points at- http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=7004
We’re getting ready to return to Federal Court for the next round of the Stop the Shot Case. Last year your Push Back stopped mandated vaccines and the planned Swine Flu pandemic; your support let us go to Federal Court to challenge the FDA’s approval of the “novel” virus, but unsafety-tested, vaccine and the states that were mandating the vaccines backed off.
This year the Swine Flu virus has been added to the seasonal flu vaccine and we’re heading back to court. This year’s Complaint is stronger than last year and challenges ALL influenza vaccines. But to make it to court we must raise substantially more funding.

“No Forced Vaccination” Vaccine Dangers Talking Points
No Forced Vaccination Action Item – Make It Clear To Decision Makers that You Will Not Accept Forced Vaccination. Add your voice to the over 3.5 million emails sent to decision makers! Click http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4376″>here.
1. Lack of Scientific Support for Vaccination
There is no significant scientific agreement, based upon disinterested clinical trials, that any vaccine is either safe or effective despite massive dis-information to the contrary. Science contrary to the prevailing pro-vaccine myths abound. For example, see Geier DA, King PG, Geier MR. Influenza Vaccine: Review of effectiveness of the U.S. immunization program and policy considerations, J American Physicians and Surgeons 2006 Fall; 11(3): 69-74 which clearly shows that the flu vaccine has no effect.
Despite frequent references to it, there is, in fact, no such thing as “herd immunity”: if vaccines worked, the vaccinated would be at no risk from those who choose to forgo any particular assault on their immune systems. It is not the unvaccinated who are a threat to the vaccinated, but, since some of the vaccinated shed infective viral particles, it is the vaccinated who are a threat to the vaccine-free!
2. Vaccination is a Medical Fraud and has been since its inception. For a review of the sordid and distorted history of vaccinations, see Dr. Rima E. Laibow, MD’s essay, http://drrimatruthreports.com/docs/Syringe_of_death.pdf – furthermore, vaccines are an uninsurable risk.
3. Vaccinations, although without medical benefit, are highly profitable ONLY IF THEY ARE ADMINISTERED IN HUGE NUMBERS.
Like many other regulated drugs, vaccines are inherently dangerous to the recipient, hence the need to regulate them. Unlike the protections afforded consumers of all other drugs, Congress has stripped Americans of our right to redress for vaccine injuries. This means that the drug companies profit from vaccines while not bearing any of the costs of the harm that is a foreseeable result of the foisting of these dangerous substances on the public. The Federal “Vaccine Injury Compensation Program” [VICP] only compensates a small percentage of actual vaccine deaths and injuries, and this “tip of the iceberg” has paid out more than $2 billion dollars over twenty years. The VICP awards are generated by a special tax (not on the drug-pushers or manufactures) but, instead, on those who are required to purchase vaccines.
4. The US Supreme Court stated, in the 1905 case which allowed people to be fined if they would not accept a vaccination in a declared public emergency, that the Courts would intervene if there were a showing that vaccines were harmful. Vaccines have now been shown to be harmful and therefore the Courts need to remember what the Supreme Court said over a century ago: the judiciary is “competent to interfere and protect the health and life of the individual concerned.” Jacobson v Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905)
5. The public is increasingly exercising its right to reject mandated vaccines or any mass vaccine program.
Over 3.5 million emails to decision makers rejecting the Swine Flu Vaccines show deep public distrust of any Federal Government program, like the 2009 plan to vaccinate every American with Squalene-laced H1N1 vaccines, where the Government buys the vaccines, then “approves” the vaccines (for a novel virus, without safety testing), then “recommends” the vaccines (which leads to state governments mandating same) and finally distributing the vaccines at 90,000 locations around the country, none of which are required to meet Good Manufacturing Practices regulations, although they would be assembling vaccines at non-pharmaceutical sites for consumer use.
6. The Health Freedom Amendment is necessary to protect individuals who do not give voluntary, informed consent to medical treatments such as mass vaccination. You can read about the model legislation here: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=5359 and the text of the proposed Health Freedom Amendment here:
The Health Freedom Amendment
1. No individual (including a minor through his or her parents) may be denied, by any person or agency acting under color of law: Access to any desired health care services, including those known as standard, conventional, alternative, advanced or complementary health care services, with fully informed consent; Access to all health care information for which there is at least a scintilla of evidence; Access to food, food components, contents or substances, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, pro-biotics, pre-biotics, their precursors and metabolites; such components, content and/or substances may be offered with, or associated with, claims for their health benefits, without prior government approval and without limit as to mode of application.
2. No individual (including a minor through his or her parents) shall be exposed to genetically modified or degraded food without his or her consent. Such protection shall take the form of mandatory detailed labeling declaring significant alterations in the nature and composition of the food including, but not limited to, genetic modification of any sort, introduction of foreign DNA of any sort, irradiation in any amount, all pesticides, herbicides and fungicides and similar chemicals used at any stage in the production of such food.
3. No individual (including a minor through his or her parents) shall be subject to involuntary medication (including vaccination) or any other involuntary medical treatment. Any individual, if exposed to a public health hazard which poses a bona fide contagious public threat has the right to self-shield at home with appropriate material support to make such self-shielding effective. Such self-shielding shall be carried out for the minimum period of time necessary to control the public health hazard or contagion.
Please join us in helping to educate decision makers: vaccination is bad medicine; mandated vaccines are tyranny! Support the health Freedom Amendment to end this madness now!

Action eBlasts 3 Times Weekly Until the Election!
United Action Amplifies Our Push Back!
Please 1. Open Each eBlast
2. Take Action Items 3. Visit Candidates With Talking Points
4. Spread Information to Mobilize Others To Do The Same!
We Continue to Educate the Candidates
NEW! GMO TALKING POINTS
Last eBlast had the Food Freedom Talking Points
This Time We Take on GMO “Phony Phude”
Due to your strong Push Back opposition, the US Senate has not yet adopted the fake “food safety” bills, S.510 and S.3767, and our Food Freedom Talking Points in our last eBlast continues to educate candidates and representatives about these bad bills.
Visiting Candidates and Incumbents, Talking Points in hand, gets their attention and forces them to pay attention. But, in addition to this immediate Food Freedom threat, other Health and Food Freedom issues need to be addressed during this election period, too. Therefore, we are preparing a series of Talking Points for you to use to keep the pressure up! Members of Congress and hopefuls candidates will be crisscrossing your district… be ready for them!
We ask you to visit your candidates and incumbents (especially the US Senate) during this critical electioneering month. Go, if you can, with groups of people who all come armed with the following “Talking Points”. Remember to discuss them rationally, briefly and very, very directly. Print out one Talking Point copy for each member of your group and half a dozen for the Congressman or candidate and his/her staff. And mention that you are part of the Natural Solutions Foundation, the largest Health Freedom Organization in the world. As I write this, there are more than 305,000 supporters on our primary list alone! Each of them has contacts and is willing to share this information to preserve our health freedom.
Here, Then, Are
THE TALKING POINTS

Action eBlasts 3 Times Weekly Until the Election!
United Action Amplifies Our Push Back!
Please 1. Open Each eBlast, 2. Visit Candidates With Talking Points, 3. Spread Information to Mobilize Others!
It’s Time to Educate the Candidates
HEALTH & FOOD FREEDOM TALKING POINTS
The House passed the so-called “Food Safety” bill, HR 2749, in July 2009, sending it to the Senate where it is being considered as S. 510. After your strong Push Back opposition, a companion bill, S. 3002, touting so-called “Dietary Supplement Safety” was abandoned by its own sponsor, Sen. John McCain. HR 2749’s criminalization of true food health-related speech was left out of S. 510 but S. 3767, with an unprecedented extension of criminal penalties for “food crimes” was rushed forward in the last days of the September Senate session to correct that “oversight”.
The Senate HELP committee “marked-up” S. 510 and the Manager’s Amendments revision was sent to the Floor just as the Senate went into recess, with the threat that the bills would be pushed after the Election by the ‘lame-duck” Congress.
You and I know that these bills, both S. 510 and S. 3767, must not pass. To rush them through the lamest of lame duck sessions is a true abuse of power.
Despite Congressional maneuvering, to make them into “non-controversial” bills that can be rammed through via “Unanimous Congressional Approval”, these bills remains very controversial and should reconsidered by the new Congress being elected this year. The Congress is in recess, campaigning for their own, or party members’ reelection — so NOW is the time to educate those new members-to-be and NOW is the time to get their public commitment to support health and food freedom!
We, together, can do that by visiting your candidates and incumbents, especially the Senate ones, with groups of people who all come armed with the following “Talking Points” and who discuss them rationally, briefly and very, very directly. Print out one Talking Point copy for each member of your group and half a dozen for the Congressman or candidate and his/her staff. And mention that you are part of the largest Health Freedom Organization in the world. As I write this, there are more than 305,000 supporters on our primary list. Each of them has contacts and are willing to share this information to preserve our health freedom.
Here, then, are
THE TALKING POINTS
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=6910
Take the Above Talking Points to Your Congressional Candidates
Now is the time to secure their commitment to Health & Food Freedom!
Now is the time to promote the Food Freedom Amendment!
Please let us know what happens: email dr.laibow@gmail.com with “Talking” in the subject line.

Do you believe… un-safety tested vaccinations for a “potential comeback”?
“Government launches a countrywide anti-HiN1 vaccination campaign in an effort to stifle a potential comeback of the pandemic influenza recently certified to be on the drastic decrease by…WHO.”

Do We Have a Right to Know If Our Food Has Been Genetically Modified?
“The FDA is close to approving genetically modified (gm) salmon… We know that at least some genetically modified foods may harm the environment… And serious questions have been raised about whether some gm foods might increase allergies or cause other health problems in humans… Indeed, as Mother Jones pointed out last week, gm salmon may itself increase allergies…”

GM Superbug Risk!
‘GM formula poses superbug risk’ (AAP Newsfeed, 9/30/10) – “Baby milk formula containing untested genetically modified ingredients poses a potential risk of creating antibiotic resistant superbugs, a leading medical researcher says. Professor Peter Collignon, from the Australian National University medical school, says many GM foods contained antibiotic resistance genes which needlessly placed people, animals and the environment at a risk. ‘Why expose the environment, animals, people to antibiotics resistance genes that could potentially be taken up by bacteria and develop superbug properties when we don’t have to?’ he said at a demonstration in front of Parliament House. This was part of a Greenpeace campaign that has included supermarket sit-ins and a number of arrests after analysis of the popular infant formula S-26 revealed traces of GM soy and corn. …The Greens Party plan to introduce legislation requiring food labeling to reveal GM content….”

Backscatter “Naked Body Scanners” Protecting Us From Terrorists in Airports, City Streets, Sporting Events, etc., As They Rip Our DNA Apart and Give Us Cancer
Boian Alexandrov, of the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory, however, has a very decided opinion regarding the dangers of T-rays: He tells us that T-rays tear apart human DNA.
Alexandrov, and his team at Los Alamos, say that although the forces that T-rays exert are small, their resonant effects can “unzip” DNA strands, tearing them apart, thus creating bubbles in the strands that significantly interfere with gene expression and DNA replication. And whatever that means, it doesn’t sound good.
Moreover, it seems these T-ray scanners will be operated by non-healthcare, hourly wage-earners, not trained in radiation medicine or imaging. And who is to prevent massive radiation overdoses?
What protection will be offered to pregnant women, children, or our reproductive organs?
Also, whether you fly or not, the dark powers that have subjugated our federal government are intent on repeatedly lashing you with deadly radiation … all for your own good, mind you.
“Our government has bought hundreds of mobile Z Backscatter Vans (ZBVs) to hunt you down, so they can shoot you with deadly radiation.
These vans, that look innocuous enough, are carriers of radiation-death-machines that take no quarter, while they are driven through out our neighborhoods radiating pets, children, women, and men, alike, while they are in the privacy of their own homes.
These ZBVs also drive through city streets, irradiating other vehicles, and passengers, with strong enough radiation to penetrate steel and destroy the cells of human bodies, all on the flimsy pretense of protecting us from terrorists, who may be carrying bombs or drugs in their vehicles.
But who will protect us from the terrorists in our own government, who are so wantonly radiating us onto death?”

BAN ALL GMOs NOW! http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2049
FACT: Genetically Modified Plants and animals (GMOs) contain foreign DNA whose impact is not subject to safety evaluation by the FDA or any other government agency
FACT: GMOs contain genetic markers which confer antibiotic resistance to the GMO AND to the environment, helping to create the new plague, antibiotic resistant “super bugs” in animals, humans and the environment
FACT: The FDA, supposedly our health watchdog for foods and drugs, regularly bases its approvals not on scientific data, but on personal conflicts of interest which are permitted under current rules.
FACT: The FDA is not permitted to examine safety data after initial, company-generated preliminary indication that a GMO is safe
FACT: Acknowledging consumer revulsion at the thought of eating GMOs, the FDA forbids labeling items, or ingredients, as GMO “to prevent consumers from making an error since FDA regards all GMOs as “substantially equivalent” to unmodified foods
FACT: There is no scientific basis for the concept of “substantially equivalent”
FACT: Every single independent scientific analysis of GMO impact on health, immune function, allergic status, fertility, organ function and status, reproductive impact or any other function shows that GMOs impair fertility, organ function, fetal and neonatal survival, immune function and a host of other parameters
FACT: GMO genetic material infects the DNA of other plants and animals, animals (including humans) who ingest it and the bacteria on which animals depend for life support both in their guts and in the rest of the biosphere
FACT: The US Department of Agriculture has stated that it does not know where, or what, more than 95% of the GMO field trials being conducted are.
FACT: Bayer Crop Sciences, responsible for contamination of almost all rice fields in the US with GMO rice, has stated that it is not possible to contain GMO DNA from invading other fields and organisms.
FACT: GMO genes dominate natural ones and insert themselves into native DNA in wild and unpredictable ways so that novel proteins are produced whose impact is nearly totally unknown
FACT: Once GMOs contaminate native DNA, there is no known way to remove it
FACT: Virtually all GMO plants are modified to tolerate high levels of the toxic chemicals which their modifiers manufacture, increasing the use of these chemicals up to 400% and leading to super bugs and super weeds which are highly destructive to the environment and to crops
FACT: The same companies which modify foods and other organisms and make the chemicals they have been made resistant to also make drugs to treat the diseases that follow from them
FACT: GMO-related agrochemicals (such as very high doses of BT from BT corn) contaminate the ecosystem months to years after the crop has been harvested
Even politicians, generally some of the most obtuse and self-interested people on the planet, had a belly full of GMOs today. Democrats in the House and the Senate both urged the FDA to reject their approval of genetically modified salmon, hatched in the US and nurtured offshore. Even the members of the US Congress, generally so Big Biotech compliant, noted that the review process the FDA followed was flawed. What a “flawed process” means is that a dangerous drug (or, in this case, Frankenfood) would be put into the market. Only later would the dangers be noted and the product removed, in the case of a drug. But drugs are labeled while FDA-approved Frankenfood is never labeled. Thus, the cancer, infertility, loss of babies and other preventable tragedies it can cause will never be identified, allowing the contaminators to continue their deceptive campaign to convince us that, sick and dying as we are from our food, the US food supply is the safest in the world.
On the contrary, with every new DNA-modified food, our food supply becomes more deadly. Aunt Gertrude’s cancer? Was that from GMOs? How about the baby the Polly and Henry lost last year? The Lupus that has crippled Elizabeth? Who knows if they are unlabeled? And if they are permitted, in the face of evidence that they are dangerous, the question must be asked “WHY?”
The answer is both simple – “Greed”, and complex – “Genocide”
Take your pick. Protect us from greed, protect us from genocide. Either way, ban GMOs now and take back clean, unadulterated food while we still can.

Dems in both chambers urge FDA to reject ‘Frankenfish’ salmon
By Mike Lillis – 09/29/10 09:31 AM ET
Calling the review process flawed, a long list of Democrats from both the House and Senate are calling on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reject a Massachusetts company’s bid to bring a genetically modified salmon to the market.
The lawmakers say the FDA is evaluating the fish as if it were a new drug, not a new animal.
“The FDA approval process is inadequate and sets a dangerous precedent: the environmental review is flawed, and the consumer’s right to know is ignored,” a group of 20 House Democrats — led by Reps. Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), Peter DeFazio (Ore.) and Mike Thompson (Calif.) — wrote Tuesday to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg.
“Rather than developing an appropriate evaluation method, the FDA is currently proceeding to approve the [genetically engineered] fish using its process for reviewing a new drug meant for animals.”
A similar message is coming from the Senate, where 11 Democrats penned a separate letter to Hamburg Tuesday, arguing that information withheld from the public as proprietary prevents consumers from knowing fully the potential health effects of eating the product.
“Critical information has been kept from the public and consequently, only FDA and [the company] know important details about the approval process,” wrote the lawmakers, led by Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska).
The senators have asked Hamburg to “halt all proceedings” related to the approval process.
FDA officials met last week to decide whether AquaBounty Technologies’ should be permitted to sell its genetically modified Atlantic salmon, which has been outfitted with a growth hormone gene from a Chinook salmon and an antifreeze gene from an ocean pout. The genes allow the new creation — dubbed the AquAdvantage salmon — to grow about twice as fast as its natural cousin.
If approved, it would be the first genetically modified animal allowed to be sold as food.
The agency is also weighing whether to force the company to label its salmon as genetically engineered.
The Democrats endorsing the House letter include Reps. Earl Blumenauer (Ore.), George Miller (Calif.), Sam Farr (Calif.), John Garamendi (Calif.), Raúl Grijalva (Ariz.), Maurice Hinchey (N.Y.), Barbara Lee (Calif.), Betty McCollum (Minn.), Dennis Moore (Kan.), Jim Moran (Va.), Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), Jackie Speier (Calif.), Peter Welch (Vt.), Lynn Woolsey (Calif.), David Wu (Ore.), Madeleine Bordallo (Guam) and Donna Christensen (V.I.).
Lawmakers signing the upper-chamber letter were Democratic Sens. Patty Murray (Wash.), Bernie Sanders (Vt.), Maria Cantwell (Wash.), Ron Wyden (Ore.), Patrick Leahy (Vt.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Barbara Mikulski (Md.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), and Jon Tester (Mont.).
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) also endorsed the letter.
