URGENT ACTION ITEM TO PROTECT ACCESS TO SUPPLEMENTS, CLEAN FOOD:
1. Protect access to supplements and clean food http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714. You can read more here: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=4608
2. Ban All GMOs Now http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2049
Food additives are regulated by the FDA and USDA. These two organizations have the power to make sure you food is clean, wholesome, accurately labeled and free of both filth and contaminants. But, tragically for freedom, food and your health, they do not.
Instead, they bow to industry pressure to lower standards, hide contaminants and toxins, thus increasing the dangers of foods to consumers, the unimaginable horrors of food production at every step along the way, agricultural labor, factory food operations, slaughter, harvest, processing, and, finally, the horror of what that food does to you and your loved ones: the preventable, needless and tragic diseases that cost us our lives, our health and, ultimately, our freedom to make other choices.
Even organic standards are degraded both by the USDA and Codex (which are, in many ways, one and the same) to the point where they are becoming meaningless, with virtually unlimited GMO contamination permitted in the US, more chemicals permitted in the production of organic vegetables, fruits and animal products and a softening of procedural safeguards and product restrictions in those standards – all unlabeled, of course!
And deeply embedded in this slavish subjugation of real regulation and protection, corruption and callous disregard of our health and that of our planet, is Codex Alimentarius, http://www.codexalimentarius.net/web/index_en.jsp, the United Nations Commission which sets up standards and guidelines covering every single bite or drink of food, every nutrient, every swallow of everything that can legally go in your mouth except drugs.
And who runs Codex? Basically, the US, in cahoots with the EU, decides what they want and then bulls it through the process to ratification by the annual Codex Alimentarius Commission.
The Natural Solutions Foundation attends some of the huge numbers of Codex meetings each year (there is one just about every week somewhere in the world) and what we see is that the US is serving its lethal constituency, the Bigs: Big Pharma, Big Agribiz, Big Biotech, Bic Chema and Big Medica. Of course, we undersand that the same companies which make the agricultural chemicals and additives are also the drug companies. They are also the industrialized agriculture companies.
Just as Big Pharma is working very hard to drive natural medicine out of existence since that is its primary competitor, so it and its sister industries, its sister Bigs, are working just as hard to take over all food production all over the world. After all, healthy people mean sickly profits for an industry that makes money only when you are sick, healthy profits mean sick people. And healthy food means slickly profits for the chemical, irradiation and GMO companies, all tightly tied to Big Pharma.
‘Whoever controls food controls the world’, Henry Kissinger told President Nixon in 1974 when he authored his then-secret National Security Memorandum 200. That same document stated what the World Health Organization would state at around the same time: that it was ‘necessary’ to hold depopulation as the primary goal of US foreign policy, “starting with the third world”. That is the reason that WHO gives for creating, and continuing to deploy
And that is precisely what Codex is: an extension of the US foregin policy of depopulation, with a huge dollop of greed and immoral deception thrown in for good measure. It is, in fact, nothing short of a globalist conspiracy, at the top levels, using food to contaminate our food supply and eliminate the “useless eaters” of the world, those who are consuming the non-renewable resources which the elite believe they own by some sort of diving right of Illuminati kings. If you want more information on this aspect of Codex, and I recommend that you do, please spend 40 minutes or so watching “Nutricide“, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5266884912495233634# . I do not think you will look at Codex again, or the US involvement with it, the same way again.
Ah, you say, not in the US. Our food is clean and industries are held accountable for what they put in our food, do to our food, allow to happen to our food. That depopulation stuff is just for the third world, isn’t it?
Dream on. The very industries which FDA, EPA and USDA were created to curb, control and corral have become the owners, though intense corruption and vastly deep pockets, the dictators of the limp regulations which do not curb them, control them, nor protect anything but their interests, public be sickened and be dammed. Our food supply is horrifyingly degraded, minus accurate labeling.
How degraded? Take a look at the article following this article and realize that you are looking at Codex on the hoof, that, with a few minor differences, the contamination and adulteration described here, making you sick with illnesses of supposedly unknown origins like cancer, heart disease, MS, MD, arthritis, diabetes, auto immune disease, chemical sensitivity, birth defects, autism, infertility, psychiatric illnesses and on and on and on are also Codex on the hoof.
Wrap you mind around the reality that clean food is not easy for mega industries to produce, so it is not profitable. What is not profitable is not produced and, if someone else, for example, small farmers, produce it, they will be driven out of business.
With the help of the US Congress. The House of Representatives has passed legislation which, if passed by the Senate, will criminalize the production and sale of clean healthy foods. Senator Harkin’s bogus Food “Safety” Bill, S. 510, will give the entire food supply to Big Agribiz with no checks, balances or redress AND give vast amounts of power to the FDA, which Rep. Dr. Ron Paul says is already abusing its power to our detriment. We agree with Dr. Paul. Giving more power to what is arguably the most corrupt organization in the developed world is not a reasonable action.
Worse yet, our contaminated food requires an increased supply of nutrients but Senator John McCain has introduced another bogus Food “Safety” bill, S. 3002, which will destroy the legal basis for your access to the nutrients that over 90% of the US Population chooses to use to maintain or regain health.
The Natural Solutions Foundation knows that these bills are intended to destroy access to clean, unadulterated food, a prime requisite for health and freedom. We know that the high likelihood is that these two dangerous and anti-health, anti-freedom bills will be merged into a single omnibus piece of death-dealing legislation which will literally criminalize the production, sale or consumption of clean food and nutrients.
Please take a moment to take this Action Item once for each member of your family and then send it on to everyone you can reach asking them to do the same: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714. You can read more here: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=4608
Please note that the contamination, irradiation, adulteration, chemicals permitted (including sprays of fluoride produced by Dow Chemical Company at 3300 ppm on your food to prevent it from getting moldy, for example), are just as much a problem as the meet additives listed below.
From where I sit, every single decision made by Codex, which really means made by the US Government on behalf of the multinational corporations, is a decision to degrade your health, curtail your freedom, mandate under nutrition and then use your suffering to ruthlessly control you and yours by eliminating all options for health choice and natural health options. Unless and until we take control of our health, our freedom and our food, things will just get worse.
This is a war that we cannot afford to lose. If you are not already a member of the Natural Solutions Foundation’s Health Freedom Action eAlert, go to www.HealthFreedomUSA.org or www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org and sign up now. If you are not growing your own food in tiny spaces yet, go to www.FoodFreedomeJournal.org and start learning how to do that either by yourself or with friends and neighbors. And if you want to know more about the Foundation’s pilot project in Panama to reclaim the production of food, and how you can be a part of that project, go to www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org.

Food is List of Additives Allowed in Meat & Poultry (Yum!)
Want to know what’s in your meat and/or poultry? The government’s got a new 40-page PDF document, http://www.fsis.usda.gov/oppde/rdad/FSISDirectives/7120.1Rev1.pdf, with a complete list of allowed additives. And, to help you decipher the list, they also provide a Glossary of Commonly Used Meat and Poultry Additives and Terms, http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Additives_in_Meat_&_Poultry_Products/index.asp.
Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find in meat & poultry. By the way, many of these chemicals do not need to be labeled on the products you purchase. Honestly, some of these things might be harmless. Even water can sound like a dangerous chemical if you refer to it as dihydrogen oxide. But the sheer length of this list as well as the fact that consumers are in the dark about most of them makes me very glad that I’m a vegetarian and that what little meat I’ve eaten in the past several years came directly from farmers I know.
Acidifiers: Ammonium hydroxide, an aqueous solution of acidic calcium sulfate, an aqueous solution of hydrochloric and acetic acid, an aqueous solution of citric and hydrochloric acid, an aqueous solution of citric acid, hydrochloric acid, and phosphoric acid, an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid, citric acid, and phosphoric acid, sodium bisulfate, and sulfuric acid.
Anticoagulants: Sodium tripolyphosphate
Antimicrobials: An aqueous solution of sodium diacetate (4%), lactic acid, (4%), pectin (2%), and acetic acid (0.5%); an aqueous solution of sodium octanoate or octanoic acid and either glycerin and/or propylene glycol and/or a Polysorbate surface active agent (quantity sufficient to achieve the technical effect of octanoic acid emulsification) adjusted to a final solution pH of 1.5 to 4.0 using sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or an acceptable GRAS [generally regarded as safe] acid;… (the list goes on for many pages and includes such gems as anhydrous ammonia and chlorine gas)
Antioxidants: BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene)
Binders: A mix of sodium alginate, calcium sulfate, glucono deltalactone, and sodium pyrophosphate; a mixture of carrageenan, whey, protein concentrate, and xantham gum; beef collagen; binders listed in 9 CFR 424.21(c) for use in cured pork products and poultry products; carboxymethyl cellulose (cellulose gum); carrot fiber; cellulose, powdered conforming to the specifications in the Food Chemicals Codex 5th Edition; guar powder, micronized; hydroxypropyl methylcellulose; inulin; konjac flour; methylcellulose; oat hull fiber; oat fiber; orange pulp, dried; orange pulp, dried and orange pulp, dried with guar gum; partially hydrolyzed proteins; pectin; pork collagen; pork skin proteins; rice bran; rice starch; sodium alginate; “(species) protein” (e.g., chicken protein); transgultaminase enzyme; trehalose, xantham gum (purified by recovery with ethyl alcohol)
Colorings: Carmine (cochineal)
Curing Accelerators (must be used only in combination with curing agents): Potassium erythorbate
Denuding agents (may be used in combination. Must be removed from tripe by rinsing with potable water.): Calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium citrate, potassium hydroxide, tricalcium phosphate, tropotassium phosphate
That’s just the first 24 pages or so. The list goes on with film forming agents, flavoring agents, “Miscellaneous,” packaging systems, poultry scald agents, and tenderizing agents. Yum!

WAR ON US(A) IS NOT A METAPHOR!
When the Natural Solutions Foundation calls a spade a spade and identifies what is taking place on a global basis as a war against the people we are not speaking lightly. We mean it literally.
Arial Spraying, GMOs and beyond, vaccines…. Horrifyingly, the list goes on and on.
Consider: even though the bogus Swine Flu Level 6 Pandemic fizzled, the genocialists STILL want you to take your Swine Flu shots. Why?
Consider: even though the bogus Swine Flu Level 6 Pandemic fizzled, the genocialists STILL want you to take your Swine Flu shots. Why?
Consider the H1N1 vaccine, which is causing a rising tide of spontaneous abortions in perfectly healthy pregnancies.
Consider: despite the fact that mercury is a known neurotoxin, 800,000 doses of mercury free Sanofi Pasteur vaccines intended for very young children have been withdrawn for sub optimal potency. Another 4.7 million doses of Medimmune’s (Astra Zenica) Nasal Spray vaccine have been withdrawn for the same reason.
Is the vaccine cabal getting ready to announce that squalene, the incredibly dangerous adjuvant which, in large doses, causes not only profound and lethal auto immune disease, but sterility when injected is “needed” to “save” the potency which has “mysteriously” dropped below previous levels? Remember that the US government inexplicably purchased over 1/2 billion dollars worth of this unapproved and very, very dangerous injectable adjuvant.
(By the way, it is not clear if the women who miscarry will ever be able to carry a pregnancy again.)
No one, we are told, knows why the potency dropped after manufacture. Of course, we are not told that there is not a shred of evidence that high OR low potency vaccines have any protective impact. That they are dangerous and do not prevent infection is quite clear.
There is, however, a huge body of knowledge which says that the mercury-rich doses that the babies will receive (if their parents are naive enough to trust the government!) will damage them, possibly forever.
And we know enough to understand that a substance which is a known toxin for fetuses, often causing fetal death (which may be the reason that so many pregnant women are loosing their babies after being vaccinated) is also a toxin for the babies who will be unlucky enough to receive the replacement 800,000 doses WITH mercury and the kids who will receive the 4.7 million replacement doses for the “sub potency” H1N1 vaccines.
Consider: H1N1 Vaccine, has NEVER been tested for safety…
Consider: There is zero evidence that the immune titer (response) associated with H1N1 vaccine (or any vaccine, for that matter) actually provides any protection against the disease). Sub optimal or not, the stuff is, at best, useless, and, at worst life threatening…
Consider: WHO, a private corporation like the FED, receives more than 2/3 of its funding from Big Pharma, whose products it creates global markets for and whose interests it serves. WHO created this organism, this pandemic and this vaccine danger.
The same organization has been researching and USING sterilization vaccines against women since 1974 all over the world. Why not in the US now?
Consider: That’s just the tip of the vaccine iceberg, just one iceberg among many.
OK. Now You Know
WHAT ARE YOU (YES, YOU!) GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

While The Choice is Still Yours, Take Your Pick: Globalist Slavery or Planetary Freedom
Welcome to 2010, the year we either win our freedom or lose it for at least the next millennium.
Think that’s an exaggeration? We don’t.
The War on the People was declared long ago in the halls of Globalist power brokers, but it has, until recently, been one of the best, the most well-kept secrets on the globe.
One of the outstanding successes of the Natural Solutions Foundation (and we are proud to say that it is not our only success, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=195!) is that we have been able to alert a planet-wide community, including you, to the fact that each of the assaults on our health and our freedom is not an isolated event.
Each is a battle well financed and well planned to make it harder and harder for each of us to do what we want to do: live in health and peace, watching our lives and families prosper based on our personal and community needs and wishes.
Note: Today’s Washington Post: Swine Flu Followup – Get vaccinated in time for the “third wave” / 100 million doses now available
Pardon me? Excuse me? Third wave? What “third wave”? What “second wave”? Other than media hype and despicable non-science, what “first wave”?
Instead, the Globalist plan, their Agenda is just the opposite:
– Contaminate our food [e.g., Codex, GMOs, pesticides, toxic waste as fertilizer, etc]
– Control our health choices (e.g., Government control of our resources, choices, pharmaceutical medicine only, eliminate natural medicine and health choices, including high potency supplements)
– Control our information (e.g., mainstream media “poison press” re: nutrition, eliminate information through FDA, FTC censorship of claims so that, for example, “Nano Silver, www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions, can kill the pandemic organisms” becomes an illegal statement, “Cancer is a preventable disease of under nutrition and is best cured through low cost, non toxic strategies like intensive nutrition” becomes an illegal statement, etc.)
– Discredit opposition concepts (e.g., there is a global conspiracy to depopulate the planet, supported by incontrovertible proof, global warming is a sham concept supported by flawed science for political purposes) as “conspiracy theory” through the power of the Main Stream Media, a Weapon of Mass Deception)
Instead of a globalist agenda for depopulation and slavery (which is what any fair-minded person must call the state of affairs when someone else makes your health, food and illness-care decisions for you and your children in spite of your wishes), the Natural Solutions Foundation joins you in supporting a Planetary Agenda, one where
– Each of us has the choice to seek, obtain and maintain health in the ways that make the most sense to us
– No one has the right to compel us to accept vaccination, medication or contamination which is unacceptable to us
– We are free to access information without restriction
– Clean, unadulterated food is available to us as we choose
– No medication or treatment (including any vaccine) may be forced upon us for any reason
– Governmental and non-governmental policies which accept and support depopulation must be canceled and those responsible for them must be removed from positions of authority
National and international agencies dealing with issues which touch on food, health and security must be made answerable only to people and the influence of corporations must be eliminated through restoring full legal liability to corporations and removing corporate “personhood” behind which corporations hide their culpability. No corporate shield for willfull misconduct!
Too much to expect for 1 year? Perhaps. But since the thrust to solidify Globalist policies and impact is moving so rapidly, the Trustees of the Natural Solutions Foundation believe that 2010 will be the year in which we, those with a Planetary Agenda for Freedom, either gain the high ground or loose it to those with a GLOBALIST Agenda for depopulation and slavery.
We will not accept the World Health Organization, a private corporation like the Federal Reserve Board, taking world control of world governance via a make-believe pandemic of their own creation.
We will not accept the US Government taking control of the US food supply to turn it into a Weapon of Mass Destruction while the Illness Care Industry preys upon our induced weakness and disease with dangerous and ineffective vaccines, drugs and procedures while ending the right of each of us to grow or access clean food.
We will not accept the US Government rationing our health and our disease for its own purposes.
We will not accept the nationalization of our health care information for purposes we cannot even guess at accurately
We will not accept the status of health slaves, food slaves or information slaves.
2010 is the year of decision. That is why we are inviting you to join us, at the beginning of 2010, for the unique, innovative and vitally important Health Freedom War Council, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=4183#register.
Come join us either in person in Newton NJ or Online The Choice is Yours!

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
THERE IS STILL TIME TO MAKE YOUR YEAR END TAX DEDUCTIBLE GIFT
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189
Year End Giving May Help You When Tax Time Comes. It Certainly Helps US to Carry Out The Activities Which Help to Keep You Free!
Ways to Give
1. Set up a regular donation (monthly, for example) of whatever you can afford. Your donation is fully tax deductible and regular donations help us plan.
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189
2. Make a 1-time gift as generously as you can. Your tax deductible donation will help us in our work.
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189
3. Buy your coffee and your health products and services from our online sources
www.NaturalSolutionsMarketPlace.org
www.ValleyoftheMoonCoffee.org comes to you from our own coffee farm in the Highlands of Panama where we are raising Friendly Food Certified™ coffee that is GMO free, pesticide and herbicide free while we teach Central American farmers how to convert to Beyond Organic, Bio Dynamic Zero Emissions (BOBDZE™) farming to reclaim the production of food. It is a great way to Wake Up to Health Freedom™. I promise you that you have never tasted better coffee! 80% of each bag you purchase is a tax deductible donation to the Natural Solutions Foundation. For gifts or personal choice, you will love having a Little Bit of Heaven in a Cup™.
So will everyone on your gift list.
www.Organics4U.org is your source for the same nutrients that General Bert and I personally take and use in our Medical Practice for our patients.
Why organic supplements? Because they contain no toxic residues and are derived from natural, clean sources, NOT genetically modified plants, animals, bacteria and yeast, as conventional supplements are. They are made by manufacturers I trust and know.
www.NaturalSolutionsMarketPlace.org is where you can find products and services that we know, trust and recommend. More and more merchants are sharing their outstanding products with our community – with YOU! New products come on line regularly.
4. Become a supporter of, and a part of, the Valley of the Moon(TM) Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org. You see, rather than talking about solutions, we are finding them, teaching them, implementing them.
At the same time that the globalists are trying to eliminate all clean, unadulterated food for everyone except themselves, of course, we are moving toward the Planetary dissemination of healthy, clean, accessible food production techniques. That’s what the Valley of the Moon™ Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org is all about.
We have chosen the beautiful, bountiful highlands of Panama as our teaching site where we are already in the process of:
a. Creating a demonstration and teaching project for Intensive Urban Agriculture (see www.FoodFreedomeJournal.org for free information on how to grow your own clean food in tiny spaces!) We are working with schools and communities to create food independence at the request of the government
b. Working with farmers to help them transition to Beyond Organic, Bio Dynamic Zero Emissions (BOBDZE™) farming practices at their request and at the request of the government of Panama
c. Setting up a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model to give everyone, at every economic level, access to clean, unadulterated food while they support the farmers who grow that clean food. Natural Solutions Foundation believes that part of the solution to having clean unadulterated food for everyone lies in recreating the connection between food producers and food consumers, the farmer and us, the USEFUL eaters!
d. Creating a Natural Health Center where the finest natural health strategies are available at reasonable cost to you. Like all of our activities at the Valley of the Moon, this is a teaching effort where professionals and lay people can learn the techniques they need to disseminate and practice natural health options. Visiting experts will enrich our services and curriculum. This facility will be open to you as a client and as a teacher – let us know what interests you by writing to us at dr.laibow@gmail.com with “HEALTH CENTER” as the subject.
e. Building a Seminar Center where important learning experiences are available in person and via the Internet.
The 2010 Health Freedom USA War Council is the first of our Health Freedom Symposium Series. Outstanding teachers and practitioners, thinkers and doers, will bring exceptional health and health freedom information to you from our Symposium Center at the Valley of the Moon.
f. Initiating our Beyond Organic Bio Dynamic Zero Emissions (BOBDZE) Farm and Farm School to literally spread the techniques of reclaiming the production of food on a planetary basis, again, with the help of the government
g. Developing the Valley of the Moon community where people can be part of a sustainable community driven by a purpose: to reclaim the production of food and disseminate freedom in the context of an off-the-grid (WAY off the grid!) community of individual houses, apartments and other housing arrangements where like-minded people can live and work together.
h. Creating an investment structure to allow people to move their IRA, 401 and private funds offshore to make legitimate, meaningful, and, we anticipate, profitable investments under the oversight and care of the Trustees of the Natural Solutions Foundation. Please contact ralph.fucetola@usa.net with “VOTM Investment” as the subject line to learn more about this unique program which helps to keep your investments prudently protected, often tax deductible, and helps to fund the most important freedom transformation in the world – the Planetary Agenda, the Agenda for Health and Freedom.
Too Much? Too Big? Too Ambitious? The Globalist Agenda for depopulation and enslavement is a whole lot bigger, a whole lot better funded and, in our estimation, nothing short of evil. We believe that freedom WILL win, if those who would be free make it happen.
And that is our 2010 wish for you, your families and your communities (and, of course, for ourselves): freedom AND health.
Yours in deep conviction that health and freedom are both linked and possible,

Year End Giving: Tax Deductible Money Bomb Ends December 31, 2009
When the convicted war criminals who came up with the idea for Codex in 1952 looked ahead, they never dreamed that December 31, 2009 would not be far enough away for allow total global implementation of their system designed to degrade the world’s food. But today, just a few days away from that ominous deadline, Codex is way, way behind schedule. And part of the reason is because of our Push Back. You see, Fritz ter Meer and the others never dreamed that the Natural Solutions Foundation would find the solution, which we call the “Codex Two Step Process” which allows every country in the world to deviate from Codex guidelines and standards without trade sanctions from the WTO.

Every country which has followed the Two Step Process has been able to deviate from the devastating Codex guidelines and standards without WTO sanctions.
Where did the Stop the Shot Litigation which has pushed back two State mandates for vaccines, come from? From your donations. Where have all of our successful strategies and Push Back successes come from? Your donations.
There is no other Health Freedom organization which fights so hard, or so successfully for your health AND your freedom. All donations are tax deductible. We are 100% supporter supported and depend on you, our only special interest group, to make our vital work possible.
Why Donate to Our Legal Fund? To protect your own health and health freedom.
Natural Solutions Foundation’s Stop the Shot litigation against the FDA has caused two States to back down on their flu shot mandates. But the “pharma pholks” are hardly finished. EPA is still trying to declare Nano Silver a pesticide and ban it. Food fascism bills awaiting Congress will give the corrupt and dangerous FDA the power to declare martial law if the find food contamination anywhere in the country and put small, clean food producers out of business. Children are already being Court-ordered to undergo chemotherapy and psychiatric drugging.
These developments require strong, direct and effective Push Back! Those challenges require funding.
Health Freedom requires strong response from all of us.

PUSH BACK Triumph: Biotech Giant Monsanto Forced to Withdraw Application for Approval of Two Types of GMO Corn – Safety Science Simply Not There
Push Back is the only thing that will work to reclaim our rights. Let’s face it: the people involved in taking them away are not going to suddenly see the light and hand them back to us. The production of safe, clean food, to reclaim our Constitutional rights, to reclaim our sovereignty over our own bodies (and those of our children), our rights to privacy and our right to make our own decisions about chipping and poisoned foods and vaccines and all the rest of our fundamental choices and freedoms.
Access to clean, unadulterated food is a basic human right. You know it, I know it and the globalists know it, too. We believe in it, they want to take it away from us. There simply is no better control mechanism than food: who lives and who dies depends on what food they have access to, whether they have access to it and what the condition of the food is. Clear and simple. Starving and weakening people is an ancient method of dominating and eliminating them. Some time ago, the Natural Solutions Foundation, looking, as we always do, for the most profound solution to a problem, realized that farmers were no longer able to grow clean food because of chemical inputs which had replaced ancient knowledge and poisoned the fertility of their land.
It was clear to us that reclaiming the production of food for people, rather than submitting to the distorted, degraded and increasingly industrialized production of food was the next battleground. To fight – and win – that battle, the Natural Solutions Foundation created the International Decade of Nutrition and, as part of it, the Valley of the Moon(TM) Eco Demonstration Project. Visit us at www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org to learn more, and to find out how you can become a participant in this unique and powerful project, already underway at many levels. Visiting this site you will find out how you can volunteer, visit or participate on a long term basis.
One of our reclaimation projects is the growing of chemical free coffee and then teaching local farmers how to do the same. You can support the Foundation and the Valley of the Moon(TM) by drinking health freedom’s coffee. Valley of the Moon(TM) Coffee is FREE! Free of GMOs, Free of Pesticides, Free of Herbicides, Free of any contamination. Wake up to health freedom! Click here, to order your Valley of the Moon(TM) Toxin Free Coffee! Oh, and 80% of your purchase is tax deductible! Isn’t this the perfect gift for you, your gift list and your corporate gift list, too?
We looked world-wide for the best possible location for our Eco Demonstration project and, after a 3.5 year search, chose the Highlands of Panama for a large number of reasons. One of them is that Panamanian law prohibits GMOs since their safety has, as the event described below shows, not been proven. Under the Precautionary Principle, which is a part of Napoleonic Code legal systems, but which is absent from Common Law legal systems like the US’s, since their safety has not been demonstrated, they may not be used.
Valley of the Moon(TM) is part of our global Push Back. So is our Food Freedom eJournal, www.FoodFreedomeJournal.org, which will help you to grow your own food in tiny spaces so that you can be part of this food freedom renaissance, too! After all, it’s your food, your freedom, your health and, most importantly of all, your choice!
Push Back is a long, hard slog through the seemingly endless muck and mud of the other side’s amply funded propaganda, smears, attacks and derision.
That’s all part of a day’s work .
And nobody does Push Back like you, the Health Freedom Net Roots! Do you think that Monsanto, the biotech giant which has/owns the ear, the hand and the dinner table of the US as its personal property would have stepped back from its intended dominance of the global food chain without a huge hue and cry from people who know what is right and are not prepared to accept what is wrong as if it were safe, useful, correct or safe.
Is the issue over? Of course not! This is the same corporation which reputedly delivers sacks full of high denomination US currency to officials in countries like Indonesia and Thailand, where it literally bribes its way into tragic ownership of the food supply there (and all exports, as in Thailand, the world’s leading rice exporter). The same corporation for whom the US Department of Justice changed its rules so this blatant bribery and corruption would no longer constitute a criminal offense. The same corporation which has been directly responsible for more than 130,000 Indian farmer suicides after its illegal (ruled illegal by the Indian Supreme Court 3 times!) marketing and crop dissemination activities have deprived them of their livelihoods, their homes, their land and their ability to sustain themselves either in their communities or in the burgeoning hopeless slums. The same corporation which knowingly sells GMO white corn in Africa, where it is a staple of the diet, knowing that the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus used as a promoter in the biotech process, itself, in the absence of any virus, destroyes the immune system so that the diagnosis of HIV/AIDS is, for untold millions of Africans, not the product of sexual behaviors of infection, but of the very food that they are eating, the very food which is literally killing them.
Monsanto and DuPont teamed up, you will recall, not so many years ago, to purchase the patent on a GMO corn that makes spermicide in the body, rendering the animals, including the human animals, which eat it, sterile or, if the animals are females, renders them unable to receive sperm without destroying it with antibodies to the sperm.
So while step forward after step forward of the Biotech industry has been to push us to our knees and our graves, this step was backwards. We must shout, rejoice, and renew our efforts to make sure that all of their steps are back and none of them are forward.
In this directional dance for health and freedom lies our future, our very survival. One voice is lost in the wilderness. Millions of voices create ….PUSHBACK!

Monsanto Pulls GM Corn Amid Food Safety Concerns
Tuesday, 17 November 2009, 12:05 pm
Press Release: Robt Mann
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/WO0911/S00548.htm
Monsanto Pulls GM Corn Amid Serious Food Safety Concerns Applicant’s Dossiers Contained Wide-Ranging Fraudulent Research
Press Notice from GM Free Cymru 9 November 2009
For the first time, a GM multinational has pulled two GM corn varieties from the regulatory and assessment process at the eleventh hour (1), after planning for a future income of several billion dollars per year from global sales (2). Monsanto has abandoned its ambitious plans for a so-called “second generation GM crop” rather than accede to a request from European regulators for additional research and safety data (3).
http://search.scoop.co.nz/search?q=related:WO0911/S00548
Under conditions of great secrecy, Monsanto has informed EFSA that it no longer wishes to pursue its application for approval of GM maize LY038 and the stacked variety LY038 x MON810. Both of these varieties were designed to accelerate the growth rate of animals. Two letters were sent to EFSA from the Monsanto subsidiary company Renessen at the end of April this year confirming the withdrawal of its applications originally submitted in 2005 and 2006. The letters cite “decreased commercial value worldwide” and state that the high-lysene varieties “will no longer be a part of the Renessen business strategy in the near future.” (4) There has been no announcement of these decisions on the Monsanto web site, and there are no mentions on EFSA or European Commission web sites either. In other words, there is a conspiracy of silence involving both the applicants and the regulators.
The two letters sent to EFSA in April requested the return of all dossier material (varietal characterization, experimental protocols, and test results) which was submitted with the applications for cultivation, animal feed and human food (4). EFSA acceded to this request, making it impossible for any future independent researchers to analyse the Monsanto / Renessen data. That in itself is profoundly disturbing.
Scientists who have followed these two applications are quite convinced that the “decisions to withdraw” have nothing to do with commercial considerations and everything to do with food safety. In other words, the varieties are too dangerous to be allowed onto the open market — although they would certainly have been approved by EFSA and most other European regulatory authorities had it not been for the diligence of independent scientists in New Zealand who subjected the application dossiers to very close scrutiny (5). In the absence of such scrutiny in the United States, the varieties were approved in 2005 for cultivation, animal feed and human food use on the other side of the Atlantic (6). Consents for food and feed use were also given in Japan, Canada, the Philippines, and South Korea. In 2007 Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) approved LY038 for food and feed use in spite of strenuous objections from the Green Party and scientists at Canterbury University’s Centre for Integrated Research in Biosafety (INBI) who warned that the new corn was not safe for humans when cooked (7). They also expressed concerns about unpredictable health effects, increased levels of toxins in high- lysene corn, and possible allergies and links to cancer.
It does not appear that the varieties have been grown or “commercialized” anywhere in the world (8), although test plantings probably occurred in the United States.
“Blatant scientific fraud by the applicants”
While INBI’s detailed and devastating analysis of the applicant’s supporting dossiers was dismissed out of hand by FSANZ, EFSA was forced to take it seriously because of concerns from a large number of European countries including Finland and Malta. The scientific bases of those concerns were highlighted by Jeffrey Smith in his book “Genetic Roulette” and by Prof Jack Heinemann in his book “Hope not Hype” (9). The Monsanto dossiers included rigged research and false assumptions in the reported experiments; a failure to offer any test results based on cooked or processed corn; a failure to test the whole GM plant in feeding trials; confusing and contradictory characterizations of the GM varieties and proteins; a fraudulent mixing of GM strains during trials; a pooling of crop data so as to mask undesirable effects in experiments; feeding trials too short to reveal true physiological changes in animal tissues; and the choice of an irrelevant, unrelated corn variety as the control group for comparison with the GM lines, with the clear intention of hiding potentially serious differences in composition or side effects on animals(10). The Codex guidelines for the testing of GM crops were thus comprehensively broken by Monsanto’s subsidiary Renessen, and were not enforced by the regulators in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand (11). All in all, this amounted to blatant scientific fraud by the applicants, and a cynical failure to enforce the rules, and to protect the public, by the regulators.
During the assessments of these two varieties in Europe, many countries used the INBI peer review of the applicant’s dossiers to underpin their concerns, and these widely-expressed concerns forced EFSA to ask the applicants for additional studies and for a clarification of their experimental data (12). EFSA also asked — for the first time — for adherence to the Codex rules relating to GM and comparator studies. In the knowledge that their dossiers were now being subjected to an unprecedented level of scrutiny, Monsanto / Renessen simply decided that they would not cooperate in this process for fear of what might emerge. So they wrote to EFSA in April (4) to indicate that they were abandoning all plans for the cultivation and commercialization of the two GM crops.
“EFSA has been unfit for purpose”
Commenting for GM-Free Cymru, Dr Brian John said: “This is the first time, to our knowledge, that EFSA has sought to enforce the Codex rules relating to the use of isolines in the testing of GM crops, and the first time that it has expressed profound dissatisfaction about the content of an applicant’s dossiers. It is also the first time that a GM multinational has withdrawn a GM product (or two products) at the eleventh hour. It was insane in the first place to seek to pass GM maize crops containing Bt toxins and “growth enhancers” straight into the human food chain (13). In addition, EFSA and the other regulators have been quite irresponsible in the past in assuming that “stacked” events, hybridized from two GM lines, are harmless if the applicant says so, and if the separate lines have been independently approved. That is simply bad science, since it fails to address the likelihood of synergistic effects and even accumulating toxins in the food chain (14).
“Nonetheless, we applaud the fact that EFSA has asked Monsanto some hard questions in this case, having in the past demonstrated, over and again, that its GMO Panel is simply unfit for purpose (15). This represents progress.
“We are quite convinced that Monsanto has been fully aware, from the beginning, that line LY038 and line LY038 x MON810 are both dangerous; and yet they persisted with their applications until the extent of their scientific fraud was exposed to the public. We should not be surprised by this. The corporation pushes dangerous products onto the food market all the time, and does whatever is necessary to hoodwink the regulators into the belief that all is well (16). We are convinced that Mansanto has other in-house studies which show that these varieties are unstable, unpredictable and harmful to health. Will we ever get to see these studies? No way!”

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.

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