Take this Action Step NOW for every member of your family/household and mobilize everyone you can reach to do the same: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
Visit your Senator to tell him/her how strongly you insist that he/she protect both your food and your freedom. Here is a printable fact sheet you can use to either send to people in your emails or hand out to your Senator and people in health food stores, community members, etc.: http://www.lifespirit.org/FoodSafetyBills-leafletFINAL.pdf
The Natural Solutions Foundation has been warning about the coming of Codex to our food supply, with its degradation of every aspect of our food freedom and quality for quite some time. We are so concerned about this food and freedom issue that we are creating the innovative Valley of the Moon(TM) Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org, in Volcan, Panama, to teach farmers and non farmers alike how to reclaim the production of food. But meanwhile, the US is loosing its food freedom and its freedom all at the same time.
HR 2749, and its sister bill which the Senate will consider when it reconvenes in September brings it all back home. The article below is long, detailed and vitally important to you and your family. This is not simply a technical bill for technocrats. This is real life food slavery for you and for your family unless we act now.
HR 2749 takes giant steps forward in bringing what none of us want to see into being. HR 2749’s sister bill must NOT pass in the Senate if you value the health that comes from food, value your freedom to grow and source the type of clean, unadulterated food you value and if you do not want to see, eat and be, a global food slave. To date, as I write this, some 876,996 emails have been generated to tell Congress to safeguard, not destroy, our health and our food supply, as well as our freedom. It is imperative that we make sure that the Senate understands that this is not a request, it is a demand. If you have not generated emails to stop this invasion of the Constitution, your health freedom and your food and pets, do so now.
The article below focuses on just one aspect of that program, the National Animal Identification System or NAIS.
There has been a long and powerful battle in the US against NAIS, a regulatory and chipping system which would place extraordinary burdens on small farmers, raising costs of “traceability” and farming practices so high as to drive them out of business, leaving the field to the industrial giants, the Codex Criminals who want food produced cheaply enough to make them even richer – and care nothing about health, safety or the future of either food or your family.
HR 2749, passed under great pressure by the House of Representatives on July 31, 2009, just as it went on August recess, is a disastrous bill for food, for freedom and for farmers. It is a disastrous bill for you. If you keep pets, it is a disastrous bill for them, too.
When we gained successful push back when Congresswoman Rosa Delaurio (CT-D) agreed not to fund NAIS in Committee, we knew that the issue would be back around. And here it is.
Please take the Action Step in our Three for Liberty Campaign, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3262, right now, once for each member of your family. Then let every single person you know or can reach that it is urgent that they do the same IF they believe in their right to clean, unadulterated food, do not want Codex’ international globalization standards implemented, want to support small and organic farmers, do not want their pets chipped (yes, their pets!) with devices which have been shown to cause cancer, do not want the FDA to be able to declare martial law (!) and seize property in cases of food contamination and want to be able to grow their own gardens without having to adhere to Codex standards, complete with PIN number!
This is not the United States we believe we live in. This is global food fascism, nothing more and nothing less. Don’t let it happen. It really is up to us.
Yours in health and freedom,

Welcome to the Global Plantation: HR 2749 Authorizes International Take-Over of Domestic Food Production
© Doreen Hannes 2009

HR 2749 AUTHORIZES NAIS and OTHER INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
Congressional staffers have been telling people that HR 2749, the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009, does not authorize the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). Many organic groups have agreed with them. However, this is misleading. Though HR 2749 does not name “the” National Animal Identification System, it still authorizes the program. It also does not state that it legally authorizes Good Agricultural Practices, or GAP, partially comprising Codex guidelines on traceability and food safety, and the OIE’s Guide to Good Farming Practices including auditing, certification and inspections, disincentives for not participating in the form of fines, penalties, and loss of access to market, but it does. Is it possible that Congress was not aware of what it voted on? The bill was changed three times in a 24-hour period before passing the House 283-142 on July 30, 2009.
Are these assertions about HR 2749 wild and unsubstantiated? Proving them is fairly easy—just understand “Good Agricultural Practices” (GAP), how the agencies of the World Trade Organization operate within member countries to achieve them and what comprises the actual jurisdiction of the FDA and USDA. A brief explanation follows, along with substantiating quotes from HR 2749.
First we look to jurisdiction in HR2749….
“Nothing in this Act or any amendment made by this Act shall be construed to alter the jurisdiction between the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, under applicable statutes and regulations…” (p.3&4)
Then, tossing our preconceived notions to the wind and looking to law instead, we find that congressional testimony of the FDA on establishing a single food safety agency and a myriad of other sources including the FAO (Food and Ag Organization of the UN), the FDA statements on the Bioterrorism Act of 2002, and many books on food law affirm that FDA has jurisdiction over live food animals:
“FDA is the Federal agency that regulates 80 percent of the nation’s food supply-everything we eat except for meat, poultry, and certain egg products, which are regulated by our partners at USDA. FDA’s responsibility extends to live food animals…”(Cfans Director, March 2004 Congressional hearing)
So then what is the authority of the USDA? It is over agricultural disease, animals in the slaughter channel or transport, marketing (like grading of eggs and certification of processes) and the end product of many (but not all) food animals; meat. This is why NAIS always had to be “about disease” because the USDA couldn’t run it otherwise! The exemption section on USDA regulated products is a dust up. Most people think the USDA has authority over live food animals, but it is the FDA after all. They surrender “cow, sheep or goat for milk production”, but the FDA retains authority of the fluid milk and when the animal is no longer productive for milking, it’s into the slaughter channel (under USDA) or out to pasture (back to FDA) anyway!
“Livestock and poultry that are intended to be presented for slaughter pursuant to the regulations by the Secretary of Agriculture under the Federal Meat Inspection Act or the Poultry Products Inspection Act are exempt from the requirements of this Act. A cow, sheep, or goat that is used for the production of milk is exempt from the requirements of this Act.” (p.5 of HR2749)
HR 2749 is 160 pages (July 29 version) and contains the following references to international standards and guidelines (emphasis added for clarity) (all page numbers refer to the PDF file):
“(B) INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.—In issuing guidance or regulations… the Secretary shall review international hazard analysis and preventive control standards that are in existence on the date of the enactment of this Act and relevant to such guidelines or regulations to ensure that the programs…..are consistent……with such standards.” (p. 35)
“CONSISTENCY WITH INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS.—The Secretary shall apply this paragraph consistently with United States obligations under international agreements.” (p. 81)
“The Secretary shall issue regulations to ensure that any qualified certifying entity and its auditors are free from conflicts of interest. In issuing these regulations, the Secretary may rely on or incorporate international certification standards.” (p. 82)
This means that there will be a layer of auditors, certifiers and inspectors over every aspect of food production in this country and that these inspectors and certifiers will be trained in ISO (International Standards Organization) management program certification. The ISO has been working with Codex Alimentarius on Food Safety Standards and, in particular, a technical standard for Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) which is a consortium of the seven largest food retailers in the world, and that is ISO22000:2005. All traceability (read NAIS) falls under the purview of Codex, the OIE (World Animal Health Organization) and the IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) for global trade agreements.
The following excerpt from HR 2749 shows the fully interoperable global network already in existence regarding food and its production:
“Development of such guidelines shall take into account the utilization of existing unique identification schemes and compatibility with customs automated systems, such as integration with the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and the International Trade Data System (ITDS), and any successor systems.” (p. 142)
So it is clear that international standards and guidelines are implicit in this legislation. Note the usage of the command form SHALL. This isn’t a ‘might’, ‘may’ or in anyway a voluntary issue on the part of the Secretary. Then there is the section on Traceability. This is a code word in the National Animal Identification System and when one reads Sec.107 of this bill, it describes specific components of NAIS down to 48-hour trace-back, which cannot even be fantasized about with out individual animal identification.
“…..the Secretary shall issue regulations establishing a tracing system that enables the Secretary to identify each person who grows, produces, manufactures, processes, packs, transports, holds, or sells such food in as short a timeframe as practicable but no longer than 2 business days.” [note that it says “grows”] (p. 70)
and…
“……use a unique identifier for each facility owned or operated by such person for such purpose…” (p. 69)
So we have PIN (Premises Identification Number) and 48-hour traceback harmonizing with international standards and guidelines along with this:
“….‘‘(C) COORDINATION REGARDING FARM IMPACT.—In issuing regulations under this paragraph that will impact farms, the Secretary ‘‘(i) shall coordinate with the Secretary of Agriculture; and ‘‘(ii) take into account the nature of the impact of the regulations on farms.” (p. 71)
Now that I’ve killed you with legalese, it’s time to let you find out just what these international standards and guidelines mean to those engaged in agriculture in this country.
“GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES”
Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) are not a standard in and of themselves. They are a combination of standards and guidelines set forth by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N. (FAO), through both the OIE (World Animal Health Organization) and Codex Alimentarius (Food Code) and IPPC to meet the certification and auditing side of the international trade aspects of the standards set forth. The OIE and Codex are charged with setting global standards and guidelines for the member countries of the WTO to meet and satisfy the SPS (Sanitary and Phyto-Sanitary), TBT (Technical Barriers to Trade) and Equivalency agreements of the WTO for participation in international trade. Both the OIE and CODEX have guidelines for traceability that, with the passage of HR2749 into law, would be written into regulations governing all interstate commerce within the boundaries of the United States. The components of traceability are the pillars of NAIS that many of us have become so familiar with in the course of the battle over the past several years. Those being 1) Premises Identification 2) Animal Identification and 3) Animal Tracking. You can’t have traceability under international standards without having those three components.
One of the main issues in the implementation of these standards and guidelines within a member nation of the WTO is that they must have a legal framework through which to regulate and enforce these guidelines and standards. HR 2749 would meet the criteria for that legal framework by way of the excerpts from the bill above.
In the OIE’s “Guide to Good Farming Practices” the management of a livestock facility are clearly spelled out. Some of these recommendations that would become defacto law in the US under agency rule-making on passage of HR2749 (GGFP delineates international guidelines for food safety at the farm level) are:
– For each animal…Require and keep all commercial and health documents enabling their exact itinerary to be traced from their farm or establishment to their final destination…
-Keep a record of all persons entering the farm…..
-Keep medical certificates of persons working with the animals……
-Keep documents proving the water you give to the animals meets specific criteria
-Keep samples of all feed given to the animals
-Keep all documents from official inspections
-Keep records of treatment and procedures on all animals (castration, disbudding, calving, medications, etc.)
-Prevent domestic animals (cats and dogs) from roaming in and around livestock buildings
-Place all these documents at the disposal of the competent authority (Veterinary Services) when it conducts farm visits.
Some of the other guidelines and standards that would come into play after the implementation of traceability for all agricultural products would be : (from FAO COAG/17 “Development of a Framework for Good Agricultural Practices”) “the adoption and implementation of international standards and codes for which Codex food safety standards and guidelines have been designed, and the associated capacity building, training, development and field implementation in the context of the different production systems and agro-ecozones. These include: Enhancing Food Quality and Safety by Strengthening Handling, Processing and Marketing in the Food Chain (214A9); Capacity Building and Risk Analysis Methodologies for Compliance with Food Safety Standards and Pesticide Control (215P1); Food Quality Control and Consumer Protection (221P5); Food Safety Assessment and Rapid Alert System (221P6); and Food Quality and Safety Throughout the Food Chain (221P8).”*
To be certified as meeting the requirements of “GAP”, which is synonymous with being in compliance with international standards and guidelines, we can check out GlobalGAP.org. This is “the” certifying methodology for international trade in ag products. Here are a few excerpts from their 122-page general regulations booklet that has links to checklists for those who would be certifiers and auditors under the principles of GAP. This is an organization, not a governing body under WTO agreements, but working with nations and businesses to meet the criteria regarding these GAP practices for international trade. Here is a bare minimum of excerpts from their regulation document:
-(ii) Developing a Good Agricultural Practice (G.A.P.) framework for benchmarking existing assurance schemes and standards including traceability. (iii) Providing guidance for continuous improvement and the development and understanding of best practice. (iv) Establish a single, recognised framework for independent verification.
-Production Location: A production unit or group of production units, covered by the same ownership, operational procedures, farm management, and GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) decision-making activities.
-Within the context of GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) Integrated Farm Assurance this means tracing product from the producer’s immediate customer back to the producer and certified farm.
-Within the context of GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) Integrated Farm Assurance this means tracking product from the producer to his immediate customer.
In simple English, which appears to be highly lacking in all these guidelines, it means NAIS for everything, and for anyone who wishes to be engaged in agriculture….Remember the “grows” phrase from the earlier excerpt from HR2749. Now let’s look at some of the ‘exception’ clauses in HR2749. This bill is a terrifically crafty piece of legislation that is designed to cloud the reader’s understanding of the impact of the law being proposed in it. All of the exception clauses give the exception under this Act so long as you are ready to be regulated under a different Act. We’ll just look at a couple of these clauses to allow you to get the gist of the lack of exception available through the exceptions….
“EXCEPTIONS”
Farms- A farm is exempt from the requirements of this Act to the extent such farm raises animals from which food is derived that is regulated under the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, or the Egg Products Inspection Act.
‘‘(I) such an operation that packs or holds food, provided that all food used in such activities is grown, raised, or consumed on such farm or another farm under the same ownership;
‘‘(II) such an operation that manufactures or processes food, provided that all food used in such activities is consumed on such farm or another farm under the same ownership; (pages9 and10)
Thus, if you grow everything you feed and consume everything you grow, and use no minerals or salts that you don’t mine yourself, you may be exempt. Or, in plain English, don’t even try to make a living in agriculture if you won’t comply with these rules.
One more exception to contend with here is:
‘(A) DIRECT SALES BY FARMS- Food is exempt from the requirements of this subsection if such food is–
‘(i) produced on a farm; and
‘(ii) sold by the owner, operator, or agent in charge of such farm directly to a consumer or to a restaurant or grocery store. (page 71)
This sounds good. However, there are several problems with this that are not evident without some knowledge of how things are done in the traditional avenues open for market to growers. First of all, cattle, whom you may recall as the primary target of the NAIS Business Plan, are often sold either at auction barns or via potload to feedlots. It is illegal to sell beef directly from the farm to consumers in every state that I know of. People often will sell a calf ready to butcher in halves or quarters to people and deliver the calf to the slaughter facility for the consumer, but this is far from the normal route of commerce in cattle or other species of meat animal. Even if you can securely wedge your operation into this particular exemption, they get you later via the record keeping section of this bill:
‘(E) RECORDKEEPING REGARDING PREVIOUS SOURCES AND SUBSEQUENT RECIPIENTS- For a food or person covered by a limitation or exemption under subparagraph (B), (C), or (D), the Secretary shall require each person who produces, receives, manufactures, processes, packs, transports, distributes, or holds such food to maintain records to identify the immediate previous sources of such food and its ingredients and the immediate subsequent recipients of such food.
‘(F) RECORDKEEPING BY RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES- For a food covered by an exemption under subparagraph (A), restaurants and grocery stores shall keep records documenting the farm that was the source of the food.
‘(G) RECORDKEEPING BY FARMS- For a food covered by an exemption under subparagraph (A), farms shall keep records, in electronic or non-electronic format, for at least 6 months documenting the restaurant or grocery store to which the food was sold.’ (pp. 74-75)
So being exempt means you are required to keep records. Keeping required records means you could be required to release those records. So how exempt can a person get under this legislation? Especially when the slaughter facilities will all be regulated unless the USDA already regulates them?
PENALTIES AND FINES
Then of course, as with any law, there are the fines and penalties. These are from $20,000 to $1,000,000 per violation. (p. 122)
NO JUDICIAL REVIEW
There is also the change under the seizure section that takes away judicial overview…(double quotations indicate amending language)
…….procedure in cases under this section shall conform, as nearly as may be, to the procedure in admiralty; except that on demand of either party any issue of fact joined in any such case shall be tried by jury, “”and except that, with respect to proceedings relating to food, Rule G of the Supplemental Rules of Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions shall not apply in any such case, exigent circumstances shall be deemed to exist for all seizures brought under this section, and the summons and arrest warrant shall be issued by the clerk of the court without court review in any such case””…… (p. 116)
So we can just throw out that pesky Fourth Amendment to the Constitution and while we’re at it, let’s get rid of probable cause as well via this wording from page 117:
by striking ‘‘credible evidence or information indicating’’ and inserting ‘‘reason to believe’’;
There are many other dangerous aspects to HR 2749, like seizures, quarantines, and licensing and whistle blower provisions, but this should leave no doubt that this bill will indeed affect farms and has the potential to affect even home food production if an agency decides to apply the international risk analysis schemes to that venue. This bill opens a huge regulatory nightmare that is only evident when one knows what the international guidelines and standards consist of in regard to agriculture. Understanding those, it is highly unlikely that they will issue regulations that keep things as they are now.
Now, the questions that everyone involved in agriculture, meaning everyone who eats, must ask themselves are these:
Can regulating, fining and destroying the freedom of people to grow food create food safety?
Have the impacts of so-called “Free Trade” on this nation been beneficial for the citizens of this country?
Have food safety concerns increased or decreased since we have begun to import more food under these trade agreements?
And ultimately, does the US Constitution provide for the voidance of the Bill of Rights to participate in global trade?
My copy of the Constitution clearly does not allow for any law to void the Bill of Rights which is unalienable and Constitutionally guaranteed. It’s time to let our Federal representatives know in no uncertain terms, that everything to do with governance ultimately comes down to the consent of the governed, and we will not consent to being run by international agencies.

My deep thanks to Paul Griepentrog, who helped in going through the legislation and many of the ramifications and amendments to current law under this Act.

Three for Liberty Campaign: We Have Three Weeks Before Congress Reconvenes!
The Natural Solutions Foundation Has Identified 3 Key Issues Impacting Our Liberty.
Here’s what you can help us accomplish:
1) Protect our right to Self-Shield – NOT be required by laws already in place to take the “swine flu” jab.
2) Reverse the FDA/FTC violation of our right to learn and share the benefits of supplements and herbs.
3) STOP the enactment of (sic) “Food Safety” bill, HR 2749, which allows the FDA to declare martial law, invade your home, degrade your food supply and forbid you to save seeds or grow clean, wholesome foods.”
Visit the Three For Liberty Campaign to Take Action on All Three Now!

The 3 Printable Leaflets:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3241
During the next three weeks, while:
* Congress is on its August Recess and you can easily visit your Congressmen and women in their home districts to explain why you want the right to self shield, rather than be forced to take a vaccine or be incarcerated
* The dangerous Swine Flu vaccine is being tested on children and pregnant women* NOT for safety, but for dosage, and has not yet been deployed on a mandatory basis
* The Senate has not yet voted on the total give-away of our food supply to the very forces that are killing us with dangerous and unsafe food, Agribiz
* Every Member of Congress can be educated about the importance of HR 3394 and 3395 in protecting both our health, our health freedom and our Constitutional right to free speech
Right now, you have an outstanding opportunity to act decisively and powerfully to speak for Liberty, and protect her – and yourself. The next three weeks, while Congress is on recess, can be the time when we, the net roots of health freedom, act in such compelling numbers that we do, indeed, protect our health and our freedom from the forces that are trying to overwhelm both of them.
* Vaccine “testing” began yesterday at St. Louis University although the FDA said on July 23, 2009 that it would approve the Swine Flu vaccine for general use BEFORE safety tests were completed – and this for a disease which is “less severe than the seasonal flu.”
Reality check: while you are being reassured that vaccination will be voluntary, two facts bear recalling:
1. As we have previously documented, in 2005 the World Health Organization gave itself the authority to dissolve sovereign governments and take control should there be a “pandemic”. That determination did not stipulate a real pandemic, any pandemic will do.
That declaration states, ” Under special pandemic plans enacted around the world including the USA, in 2005, national governments are to be dissolved in the event of a pandemic emergency and replaced by special crisis committees, which take charge of the health and security infrastructure of a country, and which are answerable to the WHO and EU in Europe and to the WHO and UN in North America.”
This suggests very strongly that the faux pandemic was orchestrated disease or no disease and therefore represents a serious threat to liberty as well as to the social order.
2. Although HHS Secretary Sibelius, Dr. Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and other government officials repeated on CSPAN today that there will be no forced flu vaccinations, the situation is a bit more complex: If Pandemic Emergency powers are invoked, you could be given the “choice” to accept a flu shot or not. If you do, whatever the consequences are, you can sue no one, and no one is liable for your damages (or death). If you “choose” not to accept the “voluntary” flu shot, you will very likely then be faced with incarceration/quarantine/detention.
Despite the legalism, I would call that mandatory vaccination, wouldn’t you?
You Are the Key.
You Decide to Mobilize All of Your Contacts on These Three Key Issues and We Are Unstoppable
The Issues:
1. Swine Flu Vaccination: Big Pharma wants you vaccinated. The US government wants you vaccinated. Baxter, Novartis, Glaxo-Smith Kline, and Sanofi Pasteur executives are members of the advisory group that on July 13th recommended mandatory H1N1 vaccination of everyone in all 194 countries that belong to the WHO.
The plans for the final globalization of the planet needs you to be vaccinated.*
You, of course, do not need to be vaccinated for a trivial disease which has been inflated into a Level 6 Pandemic by the agency which can then take command of the political power of the world.
But here in the US, you have already sent 1.3 MILLION emails to Congress, State Legislators, Governors, Secretary Sibelius of HHS, Secretary Napolitano of DHS and the White House demanding the right to self shield.
Think for a moment what actually happens if, in addition to submitting an email for each member of your family, you mobilize your circle of influence to do the same, and they spread this populist demand further still? What happens is that we get what we demand: the right to NOT take a vaccine for Swine Flu if we don’t want it AND the right not to be incarcerated if we reject the vaccine.
*”USNORTHCOM is the global synchronizer – the global coordinator – for pandemic influenza across the combatant commands” Brig. Gen. Robert Felderman, deputy director of USNORTHCOM’s Plans, Policy and Strategy Directorate: (See Gail Braymen, USNORTHCOM contributes pandemic flu contingency planning expertise to trilateral workshop, USNORTHCOM, April 14, 2008, Also see USNORTHCOM. Pandemic Influenza Chain Training (pdf) (Chossudovsky, 2009)
2. End FDA/FTC Gag Rule on Health and Food: Dr. Ron Paul has given us two new bills that go to the heart of the FDA/FTC violation of our right to learn, and to share, what benefits food components like supplements and herbs can give us.
These bills need to be supported by asking your members of Congress to become co-sponsors and return our Constitutional Rights to us.
3. Prevent Total Industrialization of US Food Supply: The House has passed HR 2749, which allows the corrupt and deadly FDA to declare martial law, invade your home, degrade your food supply and forbid you to save seeds or grow clean, wholesome foods.
For more reasons to oppose HR 2749, see: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3289
We know these outcomes are important to you. The Natural Solutions Foundation has prepared 3 helpful Resource Documents at http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3241to serve as talking point papers when you visit your Congressmen and women during the recess, to share with those whom you are mobilizing, to serve as information points for letters to the editor, to share with the people who shop in your health food store, etc.

Share These Three Health Store Leaflets for Three Weeks to Save Health Freedom
As Mark Twain is alleged to have opined, “No Man’s Life Liberty or Property is Safe…While the Legislature is in Session” – and certainly no person’s health freedom and food freedom are safe either. Well, Congress is not in session at the moment, and we have about three weeks to educate our representatives while they are home. And as you may have noticed in the media, they are hearing these freedom truths from their constituents!
Please attend any “town hall meetings” held by your representatives and let them know that your personal health freedom is as important an issue the “health care” debate, which is really mostly about who will pay for conventional medical treatment, and how will it be rationed. To the contrary, we’re concerned about Natural Solutions, so we need to concentrate on protecting people from toxic drugs (including vaccines) and from toxic foods as well. Our agenda is not the same as the agenda being portrayed on the mass media. The 3 Leaflets have bullet point information for you to use in educating your representatives about our Health Freedom Agenda.
Thus, the focus of our Three for Liberty Campaign, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3209, our Three Weeks Campaign, needs to be educating decision makers, but also educating the concerned public – people who “get it” and understand that Health Freedom is Our First Freedom and people who CAN “get it” if you help them in that process. Therefore, we invite you to help us, by printing the three Health Food Store Leaflets attached to this blog entry and posting them at your local health food store, food co-op or similar commercial or public venue and posting them. Please print and copy as many as you can. Please re-post them on the Internet. We need to make these posters GO VIRAL!

Gag Rule on Swine Flu options is a perfect example of FDA violation of our rights. I am not allowed to tell you that Nano silver, Vitamin C, MSM, and other immune boosters and enhances are good for dealing with Swine Flu and coming out the other side of it, quite literally.
www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions
You probably know that the FDA currently literally forbids telling you truthfully that anything other than vaccines and Tamiflu or Relenza can “treat” the Swine flu. That type of gag regulation is exactly what Ron Paul’s two bills are designed to eliminate. But until they do, all I can do is tell you that IF I could exercise my First Amendment rights as a free American, I would tell you about the fantastic effectiveness and safety record of nano silver and colloidal silver in dealing with all pathogens.
Meanwhile, it is clear that the forces arrayed against our health freedom will not rest until they either destroy those freedoms or we win this enormous war.
Of course you know where you can obtain the same Silver Solution we use, and help the Foundation at the same time:

Draft NO HARMonization Bill
H.R. ________: To amend the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, Title 7 of the United States Code (Agriculture) and for other purposes.
HR _______
111th CONGRESS
1st Session
To amend the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act and Title 7 of the United States Code regarding harmonization of United States food regulations with international regulations or guidelines, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
July _____, 2009
[Co-Sponsors]
A BILL
To amend the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act and Title 7 of the United States Code regarding harmonization of United States food regulations with international regulations or guidelines, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘Food Regulations No Harmonization Act” and may be referred to as the “No Harm Act.”
SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.
1. International regulations or guidelines include the Guidelines adopted by the Codex Alimentarius or other bi-national, multinational or international bodies or agreements.
SEC. 3. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS REGARDING HARMONIZATION.
The Congress of the United States has determined:
1. The stated policy of the Food and Drug Administration of harmonization of United States food regulations with international guidelines announced in the October 11, 1995 issue of the Federal Register (60 FR 53078) should not the public policy of the United States.
2. The restrictions on harmonization of United States regulations enacted by Congress as 19 USC 3512 are insufficient to protect the interests of the United States and its citizens.
3. Codex Alimentarius guidelines are not mandatory upon the member nations and are merely “presumptive evidence” of the law to be applied in international trade disputes under the World Trade Organization, with member nations being allowed to adopt other science-based guidelines, laws and regulations.
4. Further restrictions on food regulations are required to protect the freedom of United States citizens to choose natural, unadulterated, nontoxic food products as a matter of national security, to protect the integrity of the national immune system thereby reducing the requirement for excessive medical costs secondary to food-born disease.
SEC. 4. NO HARMONIZATION WITH INTERNATIONAL OR DRUG REGULATIONS.
1. The Department of Agriculture, Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration and all other Federal agencies are directed to pursue a policy of not regulating food on the basis of harmonization with international guidelines or regulation of Dietary Ingredients. This policy includes all foods, including those offered with claims permitted under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, DSHEA. United States food regulation shall support the widest possible availability of recognized safe, high quality, high potency Dietary Ingredients and preserving to United States citizens their right to freedom of choice in health care, health care strategies and options. Organic, biodynamic and/or other non-genetically modified, non-irradiated or additive-free foods and Dietary Ingredients offered with claims to promote health, including all compounded, nutraceutical, bioidentical and functional foods, shall be included in the protections from harmonization enacted herein.
2. Neither the Food and Drug Administration, nor other department or agency of the United States, shall create a regulatory category known as “Complementary and Alternative Medicine (or Modality) Products”, or “CAM Products.” Dietary Ingredients used with informed consent by practitioners of complementary or alternative modalities shall be regulated as foods, generally recognized as safe, and not as drugs.
3. No department or agency of the United States shall issue, promote, support or permit regulations that denigrate the highest scientifically possible standards for organic foods, so that the public may be assured that, when buying foods denoted as “organic” they are buying foods that are only organic in origin and processing. Any deviation, no matter how slight, from strict organic standards must be clearly stated on the product label. These standards shall apply to organic food produced both domestically and internationally which are imported for distribution in the United States. Processes and conditions such as irradiation, gas sterilization, fumigation or other non-organic processes, which are prohibited for domestically produced organic foods shall not be permitted in foods imported into the United States and labeled or presented for sale in the United States as organic.
4. No department or agency of the United States shall issue, promote, support or permit regulations that allow irradiation of foods without that fact being prominently stated on the product label.
5. No department or agency of the United States shall issue, promote, support or permit regulations that allow Genetically Modified (GM) ingredients in foods without that fact being prominently stated on the product label. All foods which contain genetically modified (GM) ingredients or ingredients derived from genetically modified (GM) sources shall state that fact prominently on the product label.
6. No department or agency of the United States shall issue, promote, support or permit regulations that forbid purveyors of foods that are free of Genetically Modified (GM) ingredients from stating that truthful and not misleading fact on the product label.
7. All Food and Drug Administration regulations, guidances and policies that require the irradiation of food (including Dietary Supplements) or prohibit the truthful labeling of food (including Dietary Supplements) as non-irradiated, not genetically modified or toxin free are hereby repealed. This provision shall apply to imported foods as well as domestically produced foods, including Dietary Supplements.
8. Relationship of international food safety and claims agreements, including Codex Alimentarius to United States law and State law: United States law to prevail in conflict. No provision of any of international food safety and claims agreements, including Codex Alimentarius, nor the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance, that is inconsistent with any law of the United States shall have any effect. This statute may be cited as governing by any party to a dispute in any Court in the United States where such provision shall be in controversy.
9 No US agency or representative at Codex Alimentarius or other bi-national, multinational or international forum may bring forward, support or accept any standard, guideline or other international decision which conflicts with US food law or regulation, including DSHEA. US representatives must declare their opposition to, and reservations regarding, any such regulation.
10. If any international body, including Codex Alimentarius, adopts or ratifies (by vote, consensus or otherwise) a policy, guideline or standard which conflicts with US law or policy, non-adoption of which could result in World Trade Organization sanctions or trade sanctions by any other international body, the US shall take those steps necessary to adjust US law and regulation to protect it from such trade sanctions, such as adopting other science-based guidelines and laws or regulations derived therefrom, consistent with this Act.

Codex Report #4 Rome, July 3, 2009
Dupes, Demons and Dogs in the Manger
First a Health NOTE: The FDA recently announced that it has now criminalized the dissemination of any information that states, implies or conveys that any device, substance, supplement or herb can treat, prevent, cure or mitigate the H1N1 “Swine Flu” virus except for 1. Vaccines (proof, anyone? Nah, skip it. No proof needed) and 2. Tamiflu(c) or Relenza(c), two failed antiviral drugs (apparently the fact that drug-resistant H1N1 is rapidly emerging globally, as did H5N1, makes no ‘neverminds’ to the FDA).
First Amendment? What First Amendment? Do we have one of those? No, I did not think so.
So let me be clear: I am not, repeat, NOT talking about the “Swine Flu” virus in any way in what I am about to tell you. That would, apparently, be, well, not exactly against the law, but against the pseudo-law as laid out by the Fraud and Death Administration, arguably one of the most abusive and dangerous agencies in US history. It is an agency that Dr. Ron Paul has said engaged in “abuse of power.”
Gen. Bert and I decided to visit the Isola Tiburina (an island in the middle of the Tiber river with restaurants, shops, an outdoor cinema, etc). We used public transit and, when it was time to come back to the hotel to finish this report, were pretty confused about how to get the correct bus back to the central station. If you have ever been to Rome, you’ll understand!
Anyway, getting there we had asked directions several times and been the object of that famous Roman game “Misdirect the Tourist and Watch the Fun” Since we only asked bus drivers at the Terminal, they knew a whole lot of stuff with which to misdirect us, which they did with skill and amusement a-plenty.
Coming back, there were no bus drivers around so we chose likely looking civilians – people who looked like they might ride the bus, but might also speak English. Lots of mis-direction, some with hilarity, ensued. Finally a very helpful African street vendor who spoke very good English directed us correctly. But while he was doing so, a bit of his saliva landed on my lip. Of course, I wiped it off, but infective particles are small and persistent. I was, as you can imagine, very anxious to get back to the hotel room where my Nano silver bottle was waiting for me. I knew that if this helpful man had multi drug resistant TB, or HIV/AIDS or any other disease communicable through droplet transmission or bodily fluids, I would (in my personal opinion) be quite capable of protecting myself from it, no matter what it was.
So as soon as I came home, I wiped my lip several times with a tissue saturated with Nano silver and then I took 4 capsful in a 1/2 glass of water. I will do the same tomorrow and whatever it was that he might have been capable of transmitting, I am totally confident, because of the science that this product rests on, that I will not get his disease. Of course, it is also fully possible that he has no communicable disease at all. In that case, I have boosted my immune status without killing the beneficial bacteria of my gut, my skin and my body orifices. Good for me. Really good for me.
Where do I get my Nano silver? At www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions. I literally never leave home without it. Neither should you. And I certainly have it at home as well. Lots of it.
You know, I find myself giving it to people all the time when they get sick, so I need enough to have extra doses available, too. I advise you to do the same. Don’t even THINK about “Swine Flu” and silver! The FDA does not want you to think. The fact that it disrupts all known viruses (in vitro) is no reason to consider using it for “Swine Flu,” according to the FDA. So don’t. That’s www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions
And while you’re at it, remember our White Paper on Your Right to Self-Shield. Have you a pandemic plan?
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2752
Let me start my Codex Report today by outlining my understanding of the cast of characters at Codex:
The delegates who come to these meetings are, by and large, perfectly ordinary, perfectly decent people. They work for their governments in mid to high level bureaucratic jobs and occasionally they occupy Ministerial posts. They are overworked, and, in the main, under-supported by scientific and technical personnel and materials, and way, way over committed so that Codex is but a minor dust cove in their array of responsibilities. They are generally badly underpaid for the time, effort and dedication they give to their jobs.
They tend to believe what they have been told: Codex is good for them and for their country, Codex knows what it is doing, Codex works as a science-based decision-making body and Codex works for the trade and health good of the world’s people. If you look at our most recent video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSB4gtFFwy8, you can get an idea of the propaganda (very well done, by the way) with which they are bombarded.
They also believe what they have been told about the US: that food standards in the US are the best in the world, that decisions are made in the US solely in a science-based context, that the science and food safety in the US are the best in the world and that the US is a positive influence in their future lives and health.
In other words, they have been propagandized by the best in the business: Big Pharma. Some of them come with some suspicions that all is not well in Codex land, but especially the developing world is not well equipped to deal with the situation.
They are well-meaning, like the good men and women who populate the ranks of organizations like WHO, FAO, UN, perhaps like your doctor, like so many who make the systems go round and round by believing what they are told and taught, even thought what they have been told and taught is based on lies. Lenin called them “Useful Idiots” They are, more precisely, dupes.
Mind you, they are generally bright people, frequently very well educated and, as long as they do not have personal corruption or other financial interests in the outcome clouding their judgment, are quite willing to listen and reconsider their previous beliefs with new realities presented to them through discussion, the “Nutricide” Video, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=156, the Codex eBook, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=220, our video for Delegates on the Codex Two Step Process, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QNg3MD6BxM, and the opportunities available when we have time to spend with them in their own countries.
In fact, we have been invited to visit 3 more African countries and one developing former Eastern European Bloc nation for this purpose, and to help them develop sustainable, BeyondOrganic BioDynamic Zero Emissions (BOBDZE(TM) ) food production AND talk with their leaders about Health and Health Freedom.
As with the rest of us, once their eyes are opened, things fall into place and they see the world differently. And that explains why, since we are the ONLY health freedom organization in the world taking this tack, Codex fears us and chooses to interfere, to the extent that it can, with our access to the delegates at the Codex meetings. That accounts for the fact that we are, quite literally, under guard and, as one of the guards told us this week, “We were told to keep you out by the Codex people!”.
So we know we are doing good work.
Then there are the demons at Codex. There are a few people, a very few we believe, in the Codex meetings who appear to us to understand very clearly what the stakes are and what the game is. They are scary folks. Their personal energy is rather horrible and they exude a vastly unattractive mixture of confidence and evil. We have written about some of them in our previous reports. The cast of characters has not changed since our last discussion of who seems to know the score and who seems to be quite happy with a genocidal agenda. They strike us as truly evil people.
Codex is working as rapidly as it can to create a global standard for all food under the guise of somehow benefiting everyone on the planet. I cannot find a logical reason to support the idea that this makes any sense, and discussed the debate at Codex about “private standards” vs. Codex Standards in Report #2. But, leaving that aside, a change has occurred at Codex and a very dangerous one at that.
Not a murmur of dissent or question was raised by the Official Observer organization that the Codex hierarchy allows to “represent”, allegedly, health freedom.
In 2005, Codex ratified the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline which mandates global under-nutrition. At that time, the Chair of the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses, Dr. Rolf Grossklaus, the head of a German government Risk Assessment company called bFR, was pushing for nutrients to be treated as toxins and subjected to a toxicology technique called “Risk Assessment”. WHO was asked to provide technical guidance on how substances necessary for life itself (e.g., vitamins and minerals) could be evaluated like toxins and on January 14, 2006, if memory serves me, it did so, revising that technical report again in May of that year.
We wrote at that time about the strange conflict of interest for Dr. Grossklaus to be the head of the company that seemed to be doing risk evaluation work for Codex while serving as a Chair for one of its committees and noted that we thought that that this was both corrupt and very dangerous for global health. We believed then, and believe now, that bFR’s work is sole source contract work for Codex since we have not been able to locate any indication of any other source of risk assessment and analysis for Codex.
This year, however, the Chair person of the Codex Commission, the US’s Dr. Karen Hulebak, and others referred again and again to Codex as “A Risk Assessment body”. How did that happen? Where did that come from? Why is Codex, whose mandate makes no mention of risk assessment, now the world’s “Risk Assessment Body”?
And why did no one representing health freedom ask that question or object to the change in self-definition? More of that below. Suffice it to say here that this is a very troubling redefinition and redirection of Codex fraught with dangers for health and freedom on a global basis.
If Codex is now the world’s “Risk Assessment body”, then anything that the multinationals and their hand maiden, the US + its compliant national ducklings, decides they are not in favor of is labeled a “risk” and thus, forbidden from global trade. Example: any nutrient which can cause any measurable change in any human being. Applying this principle, nutrients and herbs are too “risky” to allow in biologically effective doses. Hence, the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline.
Real risks, however, like the toxic pesticide malathion, whose MRL, or maxiumum residue [upper] limit was increased by the Commission by 20 fold, a 2000% increase!, are not considered risks. GMO foods, which are scientifically emerging as massively dangerous, are not considered risks. Veterinary drugs, which are changing aquatic life in disastrous ways, and poisoning the environment, the animals and their consumers, are not considered risks. Entire groups of dangerous chemicals are permitted by Codex with NO upper limits — no, not a risk. Unlimited irradiation of foods at every step of their production is not considered a risk. But nutrients and herbs are evaluated as dangerous risks.
Money is king and death is the masked guest at the Codex feast.
If ever there was a time when the voice of global health freedom was needed, it is now. With every Codex session, our health freedoms, including the right to clean, unadulterated food, are being stripped away from us at an alarming rate. Then the Codex standards and guidelines are implemented as national law, as is happening right before our eyes in the horrific food and farming bills before Congress.

MayDay! MayDay! No Signal From “Health Freedom” Picked Up at Codex!
But we have been silenced at Codex. The Natural Solutions Foundation commissioned a film in 2005 which was titled “We Become Silent” and silent we have, indeed, become. As I have been sharing with our supporters and friends in our blog Reports this week, the “Health Freedom” Observer Organization calling itself the “Voice of Health Freedom at Codex” [SIC!] has been mute, totally mute. THEY have become silent, and through them, WE have been silenced. This organization is, in fact, the Codex Dog in the Manger. They are not using the opportunity to speak out for health freedom while the quality of food is degraded world wide; they refuse to allow us to share their table or microphone and so we, the health freedom constituency, are both silenced and abandoned by the self-styled “Voice of Health Freedom”. After a 45 year history of existence we would have expected better from them.
This is clearly unacceptable. Because of this global problem, we feel that it is necessary to write an Open Letter to the leaders and activists of the Global Health Freedom Movement.
“Dear Health Freedom Movement Leaders:
Allow me to direct your attention to the problem of enforced silence at Codex. This silence is enforced, disturbingly enough, not by Codex itself, but by an organization which has been given the opportunity to serve as Heath Freedom’s voice at Codex and has chosen not to do so and not to allow anyone else to do so, either.
Whether this is through collusion with the Codex powers or not is immaterial. The effect is that Codex has silenced us totally. We must not allow this to continue.
First, a word of reassurance: The Natural Solutions Foundation, the world’s largest health freedom organization, has observed that there are territorial issues which concern various organizations in the Health Freedom arena so let me assure you that nothing in the strategy we are proposing involves any mergers, blending of groups or competition for donations or other funding. What we are proposing is limited to Codex Alimentarius activities and is a loose consortium for that purpose, NOT a fusion or blending of groups or confluence of funds, or supporter lists. It is our hope that this early clarification will ease some of the tensions which seem to fuel competitive and unproductive behaviors on the part of some in the Health Freedom world, reducing our effectiveness by dissipating our energy in strife. That helps no one, least of all the people we are trying to assist.
We applied for recognition as an Official Observer at Codex in 2006 and were turned down, but told that since there was another health freedom organization which was an Observer organization, we should work with them so we could be present and represented at the table.
The other organization, which is now totally mute at Codex meetings, did not reply directly to our requests, instead attacking us publicly for asking, again, to participate at the Codex meetings. We put this inactive organization on notice that we would be seeking redress if they once again did not allow us to participate in the Codex meeting. Their response was an actionable letter to their mailing list, but silence to us. And silence is their modus at Codex as well.
Ractopamine used in animals: silence.
Lacto peroxidase in milk: silence.
Increasing malathion levels by 20 fold: silence.
Eliminating all Maxium Residue Levels for a group of major toxins: silence.
Vertinary drug levels: silence.
Because it is clear that they have chosen silence, and thus we have been silenced, in this forum, the Natural Solutions Foundation has reapplied for a seat as an Observer organization on the basis that we are the largest and certainly one of the, or the, most effective global health freedom organizations in the world and should, therefore, be represented in the Codex proceedings.
Our Open Letter to the Codex Chairwoman and application is here: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3005
I am an environmental physician, an MD with decades of experience in natural medicine and a qualified expert in the areas of health, nutrition and toxicity. My co-trustees are my dear husband Gen Bert Stubblebine and our good friend Ralph Fucetola JD are experts in their respective fields. We are asking for your support in this application with the following promise:
Those organizations which support our application will have a guaranteed seat at the Health Freedom table at every upcoming Codex meeting, whether we able to attend or not, and thus, organizations will be assured that their their position, their truth, their perspective at that table is articulated within the Codex forum. I cannot promise you that our clarion calls will be heeded by Codex, but I can certainly promise you that our positions will be articulated well and fully within the Codex framework and that we will educate delegates and nations to provide a meaningful framework for health freedom on a global basis.
Murray Rothbard, the brilliant Free Market philosopher, pointed out that in a social moment it is very useful, indeed, imperative, to have many different organizations attacking the opposition from many different points of view, articulating many different, but philosophically related, positions.
Natural Solutions Foundation does not need to agree with all of your positions or actions, nor do you need to agree with ours. We do need to bring as many, and as varied, voices to the table as we can marshal.
Silence is no longer an option.
Health freedom is under attack globally with degraded and industrialized food, vaccines, medical privacy, compulsory drugging, GMO “foods”, criminalization and suppression of natural medicine and accurate information about it, and a host of other threats to our ability to make our own health choices. Let’s all come together to ‘speak truth to power’ and push-back against this globalist agenda.
Codex is but one of the threats facing us, but it is a huge one. I invite you to join me in bringing health freedom’s voice to Codex.
To signal your willingness to work together to assure a seat at the Codex table, or any questions that you may have, please write to the National Solutions Foundation, dr.laibow@gmail.com, with “CODEX” in the subject line telling us the name of your organization, your URL, the issues of greatest significance to you and your contact information. We will connect wtih you to strategize our next moves. But the net result needs to be a seat at the table and a live microphone at that table so Codex will hear a voice for health freedom, since, after-all, Health Freedom is Our First Freedom.
I anticipate your positive response.
Yours in health and freedom,

Now we will wait and see whether the Global Health Freedom movement responds to the opportunity. By the way, you can expect a flurry of disinformation when the folks who do not want us to move forward get wind of this one.
We will be able to separate the health freedom friends and the others by who attacks and who joins in.
We’ll keep you posted!
