[I wanted to share with you the email below from Dr. Laibow in which she responds to Dr. Leo Rebello’s spirited defense of her and Gen. Stubblebine against another one of those irrational Internet attacks. Dr. Rebello is an eminent Indian physician. Our policy in dealing with the Politics of Disinformation has always been to refuse to engage it as much as possible, and to thank those who come to our defense. There is a real problem with “controlled opposition” in the Health Freedom Movement.
There are three fundamental types of “controlled opposition”: (1) actual agents of either security forces or of commercial interests who are being paid to pretend to be in favor of health freedom while secretly working against our goals [anyone who has been involved in any alternative politics knows what I mean…]; (2) people who are so timid in their approach that they fear to “speak truth to power” [example: one such gentleman, someone I’ve known for decades, told me, “We can’t do ‘x, y, z’ because the other side would attack us..”] and thereby limit their opposition only to those things that don’t actually oppose; and (3) those individuals, such as the person referred to as “Mr. X” below, who are so intent on attacking their perceived “enemies” in the movement that they are objectively acting on behalf of Big Pharma.
I for one am horrified that anyone would “wish” Dr. Laibow and Gen. Stubblebine “dead” — but I have seen these evil and ugly threats and attest that “Mr. X” has indeed expressed such monstrous views in writing. This must stop here and now; we must all pledge civility and honor, if not, what are we fighting for? And to anyone who refuses to pledge civility toward all in the movement, I say: “You are not part of the Global Health Freedom Movement!” – RF]
Dear Leo,
I treasure rational discourse and the freedom to engage in widely varied points of view with deep respect so I appreciate your work. I have studied Ayurveda [Indian Traditional Medicine – RF] a bit (but do not consider myself masterful in it) and am always eager to learn more since there are rich resources of truth that are unfamiliar to each of us and sharing them makes us all wiser and deeper.
I agree with pretty much everything you have said except for a few points which I must clarify:
First, Gen. Bert and I have not reached a point of no return with [“Mr. X”]. He has done that by himself. We have made repeated overtures for collegial, mutually respectful collaboration. What we get in return is… well, what you have experienced. We have never attacked [“Mr. X”] and never will since that would be both unseemly (we conduct ourselves on the basis of what we believe is right, not on the basis of what people do that is wrong) and a complete waste of time. Sadly, [“Mr. X”] in moving along on his journey, however destructive it is, and there is no point engaging with his distortions, disinformation or delusions; whatever their source, they are groundless and we simply keep on keeping on for Health Freedom as we best see it.
We advise people who wonder if [“Mr. X”]’s distortions about us are true to contact him… etc. and ask for the basis upon which the calumnies lie. Not the assertions, which continue like a tape loop and go around and around and around, but the actual sources of information which verify these accusations. There are none. As with Ronson’s book [which distorts Gen. Bert’s role in the military – RF], there is a fantastical mixture of a grain of truth – yes! I am designated a “Psychiatrist!”, yes! Gen. Bert served in his last command as the Commanding General of the Army’ Intelligence and Security Command but after that, WHOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!! Sky’s the limit… and truth begone!
The very instant that [“Mr. X”] or any of the others who have bought his baseless calumnies (because that is what they are) move from that to respectful collaboration, we are there. Until then, we keep inviting collaboration, because you never know when someone is ready for growth and do what we do. And we do it pretty effectively, with hundreds of thousands of committed supporters upon whom we rely.
Could we do it more effectively with a stronger activist team, rather than one that spends its time trying to tear our eyes out? Sure. But that is their choice and their loss. [“Mr. X”] says “there will never be peace” between this group and us. Peace? Who declared war? Big Pharma, that’s who.
Through foolishness or otherwise, [“Mr. X”] and his buddies have created a war where, as you write so eloquently, we must, can, and should have a World without War. It is Big Pharma that is making war against humanity. So, for this distribution list, let me say – again – that the Natural Solutions Foundation is devoted to solutions, not war.
We do have an enemy – a common enemy: greed, arrogance, hatred, hubris, seeing oneself as more [enlightened, important, significant, pure, gifted, deserving, clean, correct, human, etc., etc., etc.] than other people who are therefore diminished and can be attacked ad libidim. It is then only a few small slips and slides down the slope of inhumanity to genocide. The very slope the globalist elitists want us to go down.
When [“Mr. X”] says that “WE” wish Stubblebine and Laibow “dead” and we would be “glad to piss on their graves”, he/they? is/are truly identifying with the aggressor and displaying the same horrific deficit that the Big Pharma Globalist aggressor displays in wanting to kill us all. So it is not about Stubblebine and Laibow. It is about a mind/heart/body/soul set which chooses to hate when affiliation is called for, chooses to vilify when discourse is called for, chooses to ostracize when inclusion is called for.
The problem we are facing, which could literally kill us all, is, tragically, to our way of thinking, sadly embodied in the “glad to see them dead and piss on their grave” mentality. How can you make a better world when you hate it and carry the hatred that has been heaped upon you into the new creation you seek? That is what has happened in Israel and look at the tragic and nearly unbearable results that have ruined the lives of so many in a vast contagion of hate.
By the way, I am a psychiatrist by training BUT my work has been truly holistic at the deepest levels WITHOUT the organ/disease paradigm influencing it. [“Mr. X”] used the diagnosis “Paranoid Schizophrenia” about himself and described his multiple hospitalizations for that disorder. I accepted his characterization of his own illness and used his terms. This is hardly liable. In fact, I do not use the DSM system. Ever. He does.
Anyone who knows my work, not the lies about it, knows that about me. And anyone who knows General Bert knows him for his great compassion and the light which radiates from him like a beacon, despite the distortions of those who need to hate and perhaps, hate because they fear the light.
I make no stipulations except that mutually respectful collaboration be the theme of anyone who wants to work with us. That’s all. Disagree with us, offer other formulations or solutions: we are listening. But attack? Nope. We are not engaging. “Sorry, attacker. No time to play with you. There is work to be done. When you have finished your trip, come work with us.”
Leo, come to Panama to visit the Valley of the Moon™ Eco Demonstration Project (which came out of the International Decade of Nutrition and our conviction that part of a World without War, and with health AND freedom involves reclaiming the production of food for farmers and non farmers, modeling a different way of being in, and of, society, disseminating everything we know and knowing more and more through the collaborative model I discussed above. We are well on our way and we are having quite an impact already!

The Valley of the Moon™ First Anniversary!
Natural Solutions Foundation is about more than just educating decision makers about Health Freedom, our First Freedom. We are about solutions… natural solutions to the many health, food and freedom issues that face the people of Planet Earth. Yesterday was the First Anniversary of the Natural Solutions Foundation in Panama, where one of our two Eco Demonstration Projects, the Valley of the Moon™, in the beautiful, temperate and bountiful Highlands of Panama, is located (the other is in Benin, West Africa).
And what an Anniversary it was! What would you say if I told you that General Bert and I spent the morning of our First Anniversary in David, the Provincial Capital of Chiriqui, with the First lady of Chiriqui, Mrs. Amara Fernandez, the wife of the far-sighted Governor, Dr. Enrique Fernandez, beside us, teaching willing (and eager) 16 and 17 year olds from the prestigious San Augustine Academy and their professors how to create an Intensive Urban Agriculture Garden.
We will also be working with a public school in the town of Pedregal and are creating similar gardens on the grounds of the Governor’s Offices in David. Everywhere we go, other people ask if we can teach them to do the same. There is a general awareness on the part of literally every person we meet that the contaminants in the food here in Panama (and for the rest of the world) are really terrible, but people do not know that they have options to change that.
We are teaching them how to apply those options successfully.
People say that things move slowly here in Panama and, in general, we have found that they do. But when an idea is right and it touches the hearts and minds of people who can make things happen, slow suddenly becomes warp-speed.
Just under two weeks ago we had an appointment with the Governor or Chiriqui, a physician who “gets” environmental dangers and also “gets” what it means to have virtually all of the country’s food produced using dangerous chemicals (the same ones people in the US are eating!). Governors of Panamanian Provinces are appointed by the President of the Republic and therefore represent significant central authority.
So when we told him that we were interested not only in setting up a medical training and service facility but also a BeyondOrganic, Bio Dynamic Zero Emissions™ farm AND farm school for the people of Panama and elsewhere, he became very, very interested. He sent one of his aides to summon his wife from her office. Mrs. Fernandez is a really warm lady who is working with the wife of the President of Panama to teach children how to grow their own food! Of course, when we explained that we were eager to do that, too, through our Intensive Urban Agriculture Program (IUA), using small spaces, little effort, little money and enormous results!
(see www.FOODFreedomeJournal.org)
She was instantly interested, as the Governor knew she would be.
Suddenly, we were outside on the balcony of the Governor’s office suite looking at a patch of ground which was being prepared for a garden. The Governor and his wife asked if we could do our Intensive Urban Agriculture there as a pilot project. We said we certainly could. They then asked if we would do a pilot project with them in a public and a private school. “You bet!” we said and suddenly we had an appointment for the Governor and his Lady to visit us in Volcan, about 45 minutes away, on that Sunday so that we could show them what we are doing with our Intensive Urban Agriculture.
We also had another appointment to begin work on the project the next week at the Governor’s Offices AND to meet with the head of the private school since Panama’s public schools were off for a week of vacation.
Sunday arrived and we had a lovely lunch all set for the Governor, his Lady, Yolanda, the lady who introduced us, Gail, our good friend and my Assistant, Gen. Bert, Giselle and Hernan, two bilingual friends who agreed to translate and, of course, me. Yolanda arrived with a friend. No problem. Eight can stretch to 9 with no one but the chef noticing.
The Governor and his party were delayed a couple of hours. The rain (a rainy season late afternoon phenomenon) started and we began to lose the light. At last they arrived. In two large vans, about 22 of them. Hungry. OK, now try stretching 8 to 31! HOSTESS HORROR! Gail and Yolanda, however, knew just what to do. Yolanda sent Hernan out to the store for little disposable plates (of which we had precisely 8 china ones) and Gail turned to his wife, Giselle, and said, “Quick! Bless the fish! We have to do a miracle here and make it feed everybody!”
What emerged, with smiles in place, were lots of little plates for all those hungry people with some salmon, salad, marinated veggies and one of Gail’s astounding cookies (THE best you have ever tasted, no matter where you have ever been) for each person there. Somehow, Gail had brought over exactly the right number of cookies and everything else was just as perfect. We did a slide show on the Valley of the Moon Project in Spanish. Someone had translated our English version into Spanish for our application to the City of Knowledge BUT, as it turned out, very poorly. So, while we waited for the Governor to arrive, Hernan corrected our serious grammatical and other errors. Not to worry: we have been advised to wait a bit before submitting our COK application (to let the political dust settle from the recent presidential election, before we wade into that arena) and so we were spared that embarrassment!
So, slide show accomplished, people eating and beaming at us, off we went, in the torrential downpour which the sky delivered to us just as we left the house for the Grand Tour, to see the IUA boxes, the large and small greenhouses, the very-much-under-construction seminar and medical facility, etc.
The ladies were not shod for wading but that is what they did with, I must say, smiles on their faces. You see, what we have built here is so unique, and provides such a powerful model for reclaiming the production of food that everyone there —
1. Was excited and wanted to be a part of the growth of this idea
2. Wanted to offer their help and get involved.
I cannot begin to convey the sense of excitement and the glowing eyes of this large group of people.
Of course, naturally, wouldn’t you know it! Two days before the visit, we were spraying the gardens with an organic, certified product to control mold on the plants. This is a humid climate and such precautions are necessary. The product is made from specially grown grapefruit seeds grown by a community in Peru which is focused only on this product. It is certified for Organic use in Europe (which I personally trust a lot more than USDA Organic Certification since the industrialization of organic foods is moving downward at a rapid and disturbing pace. For example, there is strong pressure to allow genetically engineered foods into the Organic supply so that Monsanto and others can control every segment of our food, even the possibly still clean foods that we are willing to pay a premium for!
We followed both the written directions carefully, used a very good sprayer which produces a very light mist, treated both sides of all the leaves and awoke on Sunday morning to find that the product had burned huge gray patches in all of the leaves. The magnificent lush plants in our garden boxes when we went to bed with were replaced, as if by a malevolent fairy, with ugly, blotchy leaves and wilted plants.
Heart stopper.
Take a deep breath.
Get the camera out.
Take pictures.
What we realized is that our teaching garden boxes had just taught us something: this spray needed to be diluted by a factor of 10 times more than the label, and our conversation with the specialist in organic agriculture who sold it to us, said to dilute it.
Gulp.
So, when we took the party on the tour, we told them just that. Instead of pulling up the plants and pretending they had never existed, we said that we had learned about grapefruit seed extract and that we had taken pictures so no one else would have to damage their plants in this way. (Over the next several days, I am happy to tell you, the plants have recovered amazingly. Three days more and no one would ever have known. Now that was NOT fun!
But, back in the house, getting dry, the Governor and I had some deep conversations together talking about the environmental hazards of the chemicals used here and the medical hazards of the poor, with few vegetables, diet consumed by many people in this country. Rice and beans and a little chicken or some pork, pastries, bread, cake and sweets. That’s about it.
The Governor is not only enlightened concerning health and health costs, he is enlightened as a physician, a rare reality in the US, I am afraid.
Yes, there are docs like those in the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, www.AAEM.com, and the American College for the Advancement of Medicine, www.ACAM.org, who are awake. But, tragically, still today, the majority of docs know only drugs, surgery and radiation for pretty much everything.
Obviously, they teach internists a whole lot more about health in the medical school Dr. Fernandez attended than they do in the US! In fact, every doctor I have met here understands the dangers of the “Typica” diet. But, aside from a smaller diversity, it is pretty much what hundreds of millions of people eat in the US, although the rice and beans part is a little different.
The number and amount of US export junk food options is appalling here. And then there are the local junk food look-alikes. “Lo mismo.”, they say here, “It’s the same thing”.
So here we were, showing the government of the Bread Basket of Chiriqui a real facility with real progress, offering real hope. They could not have been more eager for us to begin.
Dare I say — We have a Dream — of Chiriqui becoming the BeyondOrganic, BioDynamic breadbasket of the Americas?
When everyone came into our office, one side of which is lined with computers, and the other side of which is lined with our private reserve of supplements (all organic, of course), they were agog. I do not believe any member of the party had ever seen such an array, or so many, supplements in one place.
They asked, every single one of them, if we ran a store. “No,”, I said, “These are our private supply.” Then I pointed out that Gen. Bert is 79 years old and I will be 66 next month. Jaws opened and they just stood there for a while. Then the next thing happened:
Virtually every person in the room asked if they could come to see me for their (or their family’s) health issues.
I explained that we will be setting up the Natural Solutions Wellness Center this Fall (Yes! We need Volunteers and Volunteer Sponsors! See: http://www.NatSol.org) and that we will, of course, be happy to work with them and their families. Some had urgent problems and I agreed, of course, to do some initial consultations.
Wednesday of last week came and we trooped back to the Governor’s Offices to meet with the woman in charge of making sure our project was going to get the support it needed, under the direction of the First Lady. They asked us if we were going to provide the wood, the soil, the string, the plastic, the seeds, the organic compost, etc. We said, “No. The Natural Solutions Foundation will, as our gift to the project, provide the first three gardens, for a total of 20 boxes of 16 1 foot squares, with heirloom, organic seeds. But we do not have the budget to provide the rest of the materials for these projects, let alone the entire nation of Panama. To make that happen, we said, the government would have to get involved. Immediately, the governor suggested that the trees which had been knocked down by the floods last November had been turned into lumber and we could use that enormous amount of wood to make boxes. Other people got into the discussion and soon resources were being suggested.
There were press people there and they promised us some serious coverage.
Everyone at the Governor’s Offices wanted us to start planting right away. Of course, IAU takes a bit more planning than that. We laid out what we would need and were just about done when the Governor’s Press Secretary asked us what we could do about the building. I must admit, I turned around to look at it without any idea what she was talking about. She was kind enough to explain that there were really ugly plants in equally ugly planters which are built into the side of the building. Since the planters never receive any sun, and are apparently watered only as an afterthought they really do look awful.
I suddenly had a wonderful idea: why not create a secondary school contest to design and install a garden under those conditions along with a flower garden in front of the building? Have the kids present their designs, and, for the winners, install them. Then we would have a Chiriqui Beautification Day with a parade (Panama loves parades), a fiesta with dancers, the school band of the winners would get to play, and the media would cover it. Community is important here. Happy people loved the idea. It is in the works now.
“Can you be at the San Augustine Academy at 8:30 AM on Saturday?”, the First Lady asked. “Of course!” we said, “Why?”. Because that will be the first school program and we want you to talk to the teachers and Principal of the Academy.
So that’s how we got to the back field of the San Augustine Academy talking to these lovely young people. They had begun digging in a nice shady spot which we told them they needed to relocate to allow 6 hours of good sunshine per day or more. They willingly agreed to do so.
We gave them their assignment (build 6 boxes, fill them with 50% clean soil (hard to find here, everyone agreed) and 50% rich humus which has been lying on their grounds for almost 30 years without chemicals.
We told them that these young people and their teachers are the seeds of the future and that they would be making real change possible for everyone in Panama so they needed to work carefully, document faithfully and not be afraid to make mistakes. I believe that it is from our mistakes that we become smart, not from our successes. We told them that and they beamed. They just beamed!
Their assignment includes taking and recording 4 pH readings for each box (total 24) because we know that the soil here will be acidic.
They asked what time we would be back next Saturday and suggested 8 AM. Ugh! Since we are 45 minutes away, we suggested that we meet at 8:30 and they agreed.
The day before, however, we had a success of a completely different kind.
Halfway down the hill (or up it, of course) between Volcan (nearly a mile high) and the near sea level town of Conception, there is a little area called San Vicente, home to a small dairy that makes astonishingly good yogurt and white cheese. We have gotten quite friendly with the couple that runs it, but had to wait until their daughter was home from school in the States to have any in-depth conversation. We did have that conversation about 2 weeks ago and we were asked to come to a Milk Board meeting at MIDA, the Ministry for the Development of Agriculture on Friday, August 21.
We thought that the meeting was going to be about our ideas for the better processing of milk to preserve its health benefits through raw processing of a type that we want to introduce. Instead, it turned out that we were meeting with the Board of the Rural Agriculture Association, with a MIDA representative present. When we told them, representing meat producers, dairy producers and crop farmers, what we bring to Chiriqui, and why, we were met with a level of excitement and warmth that is truly heartening. No one is saying, “But we do it the old way and we are content!” Instead, what we are meeting is, “YES!” Let’s make it better! Let’s bring back wholesome food!” and, everywhere, “YES!” Show us how to get rid of the chemicals because they are killing us!”
In fact, after our wonderful encounter with the kids and teachers at San Augustine Academy yesterday, we stopped to buy some marigolds because we know that they help to keep pests off crops and we wanted to add them to our greenhouses. We gave the owner and his wife (who has a little restaurant by the side of the road next to his shop) our cards and, in their non-existent English and our badly wounded Spanish, we managed to tell them what we were doing and that we were working with the Governor’s office.
They lit up like Christmas trees, took our hands and pulled us to the other side of their restaurant, pointing to a bamboo framework which we could not make out the reason for as we stared at it.
“Hydroponica! Organico!”, they said. They are putting in an organic hydroponic greenhouse of their own design to grow food for themselves, their neighbors and for the little restaurant they have because they are fed up with eating chemicals!
We invited them to the Valley of the Moon, of course and then they asked us if they could bring their friends. Of course they could, we said, but how many friends are they thinking of (we were still rather shell shocked from last Sunday’s loaves and fishes deal). Not more than about 10 – these are an association of friends and neighbors who have formed a group because they share such a passionate interest in natural health, natural food and natural production methods.
There is enormous excitement about our natural methods for curing the devastating fungus, ojo de gallo, which we have put into practice on the Foundation’s Coffee Farm (what? You haven’t had your first cup of Health Freedom’s own coffee? Well, we have to fix that right away!
Click here, www.ValleyoftheMoonCoffee.org, to get yours right now! Supplies of this GMO free, pesticide free, herbicide free, toxin free coffee are very limited. Plan on giving freshly roasted coffee to everyone on your Holiday List now and we will ship to them if you let us know in advance. Green Corporate giving has never tasted better!
When we chose Panama, I must tell you, we did not expect this level of readiness. Our eco demonstration is meeting welcome we never dreamed we might find.
Exactly one year to the day after General Bert and I moved to Panama to continue the health freedom fight AND create the global teaching and service facility called the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project we were already working with the government of Chiriqui, the province which produced virtually all of Panama’s food and, at their request, disseminating the methods by which anyone, anywhere, can grow their own food.
What else have we accomplished during this amazing year?
Well, we have purchased a headquarters with two houses, renovated one of them, in which we are living and which serves as our offices, undertaken the major renovation of the second house which will house our initial health center, seminar facility, organic restaurant or boutique hotel and built one and a half greenhouses (the second is under construction, but will wait until the Seminar Center is done before we have our workers finish it.
We have initiated our Natural Solutions Conservation Corps and volunteer program with a rebuilding of the houses for the Indian workers which we partially accomplished. The completion of it will require another set of volunteers and we have lots of folks coming!
Those who are interested in bringing their enthusiasm and skills, or who can sponsor a Volunteer, can go to http://www.NatSol.org and join the NSCC Yahoo Forum.
We need much more than just building skills, of course, as there is a great deal to do and we need eager, able people to do it (and Angels to support those volunteers who are not self-sustaining).
We have refined our financial structure for participation in the Valley of the Moon, including IRA and 401 funds for legal, tax deferred investment and created financial structures which benefit us all. We have opened dialogue with health professionals and other who want to become Joint Venture Partners of the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project and created a contract which Joint Venture Partners can sign to become part of our success.
We have looked at many, many pieces of property for our final home and, through ups and downs, been relieved of the problem of having made the wrong choice as if we were being cared for by the Great Real Estate Agent in the Sky!
The Natural Solutions Foundation has been assembling the documentation and letters of recommendation necessary to apply for our affiliation with the City of Knowledge, a uniquely Panamanian organization devoted to bringing “best practices” to Panama, which our methods surely are. Twenty five farmers have pledged anywhere from 1 acre to 67.5 acres to use as farm schools to teach other farmers what we teach them so that we really can reclaim the production of food on a demonstration, and then a global basis.
We have, of course, continued the health freedom fight well beyond Panama. The effort to stop GMOs, prevent Codex “HARMonization” and protect against forced, dangerous vaccines, continues with the new joint effort (with Gary Null, PhD, Tedd Koren, DC and others) to “Stop the Shot” and prevent FDA final approval of the “Swine Flu” vaccine (without safety testing!). See: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3312
Gen. Bert and I do dozens of radio shows each month with Alex Jones, Jeff Rense and many, many other people. We have gone to Europe several times to lecture and participate in Codex and other international meetings.
People are coming towards the Valley of the Moon to participate, acquire the right to build their homes here, become part of the Seminar Center, Performance Center, Health Center and build a new way of doing things, including reclaiming the production of food.
So that’s how we spent our anniversary.
Oh, yes! Then we celebrated with a dinner at the outstanding Italian restaurant here in Volcan, Il Forno. Here’s a picture of the owner, Joe, from New York!

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!
Three for Liberty: The Campaign:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3209
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.

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:

Health and Freedom Supporters send 636,516 emails to Congress to stop fake “Food Safety” bill (H.R. 2749). Ron Paul’s office says vote is near.
For Immediate Release:
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 28, 2009 —
Over a Half Million eMails say “NO!” to Fake Food Safety Bill – HR 2749
“Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009” a Threat to Food AND Freedom!
Congress is set to deliver a huge blow to local food production and safety by giving Big Agra interests exactly what they want: the industrialization of all food production in the US — forcing family farms, natural, successful home gardeners and other local food sources to meet Agra-Biz industrial standards or go out of business. H.R. 2749 — the (sic) “Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009” has been “fast tracked” and is heading to a vote this week under a Suspension of Rules that will allow no amendments and a total of 40 minutes debate. The latest report we’ve had indicates the bill was removed from the voting agenda today: rumors suggest that continued strong public opposition may force the bill back to committee for further amendment.
The Natural Solutions Foundation, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org, concerned by Codex Alimentarius’ US-led industrialization and global degradation of the food supply, noted with alarm the introduction of bills to do the same thing here in the US. While the public was distracted by the economic collapse and the non-lethal Swine Flu “Pandemic Emergency” and the threat of mandatory vaccination with the weaponized Swine Flu vaccine, Congress was planning its own surprise: the forced-industrialization-of-farming bills, such as HR 875 & 759, were replaced by a new “fast-tracked” (sic) “Food Safety” bill – HR 2749 – that threatens food, health and freedom. Since it gives the FDA power to declare marshal law in the face of food contamination in the US, it is, in reality, a “martial law food control bill” — see: http://farmwars.info/?p=1145
Small farms, organic production, biodynamic operations and home farmers who share their food will be required to comply with standards which they cannot afford, like seed sorting plants running to more than a million dollars for each species of seed when no threat has ever been posed by simple hand sorting devices. All food preparation and storage facilities, including home kitchens, could be entered without a warrant for inspection of records – which no home keeps. Ultimately, the only acceptable food would be prepared, industrialized and industry-controlled food. Codex standards and guidelines would govern all agricultural production, driving non-chemical operations out of business.
Today, recognizing the importance of push back and citizen involvement in the legislative process, Rep. Ron Paul, responding to the 600,000+ emails supporters of health freedom have sent to Congress demanding protection for organic farming and food freedom, urged, through his Legislative Aide, that the Natural Solutions Foundation “Keep it up!”
Natural Solutions Foundation’s White Paper on Food Safety is here:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2287
It includes information in support of the Action Item to tell Congress to protect both our food and our freedom at:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
Assaults on Health Freedom have not been limited to proposed food fascism. The right to refuse vaccines is threatened under both federal and state statutes. Outraged over the impossible choice presented to the to either accept Swine Flu vaccines (without the possibility of exemptions) or face incarceration, Americans have sent over 1 million emails to decision makers demanding the right to Self Shield in the face of Pandemic Swine Flu vaccination.
The Natural Solutions Foundation’s White Paper on Self Shielding is available at:

We thank Dr. Ron Paul (TX-R) for confirming that Push Back works!
For example, we’ve been urging Congress to defeat all fake “Food Safety” bills since they do not address the major health and environmental threats posed by huge factory farms and feed lots which threaten local production. When the Foundation created our an Action Item more than a half a million emails told federal legislators to protect family farms and ranches, organic, natural and home food production, food co-ops, community gardens, etc.
See: No HARMonization White Paper:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2394
Our original proposed amendment:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2246 *
And, apparently, they heard at least part of the message. Those who support HR 2749 are touting the (slight) “farmer protection” added to the bill to initially get it out of committee:
“Are Small Farms Protected?
“The legislation is doing a bunch of things for food safety, most notably giving the FDA mandatory recall authority. This has been a major sticking point for previous iterations of this legislation in the House, because House reps more than senators represent small fiefdoms inside large rural states. These districts wide recalls will disproportionately harm smaller businesses and processors versus their larger partners. In a sense, FDA recalls and fees would represent a regressive tax.
“This is an extremely valid concern given the FDA’s proclivity for influence from industry. However, this bill was able to climb out of committee in the House because it properly addressed small growers and farmers markets. Specifically, Section 107 of the bill which stipulates ‘Traceability Requirements’ on most farms makes an exemption for farmer’s markets (more or less):
‘(4) EXEMPTIONS-
‘(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 restaurant.
“Traceability is a huge issue and this bill seeks to establish a new electronic system for tracking that will be vetted over the course of a couple years. The exemption for small farmers is good but poorly defined. We hope this vague language about exemptions gets tightened up as the bill moves forward. It would be a pity to see this single exemption allow major agribusiness farmers off the hook.”
http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/06/food-safety-enhancement-act-hr-2749/
This weak provision is not the protection we want for local food production.
But it is a start. We are concerned that the word “farm” could be construed too narrowly. What about religious communities, nonprofits, co-ops, community and family gardens that produce surpluses… Real protection is needed for local, natural production.
This is not a bill that we expect conscientious congresspeople to support, and we certainly don’t support what has been called a “martial law food control bill.”
Health Freedom advocates need to redouble our efforts to get Congress to listen!
Here is the action item –
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
Natural Solutions Foundation President, Maj. Gen. Bert Stubblebine (USA Ret.) stated,
“We do not need a fake food safety bill that forces the industrialization of family and natural food production while not addressing the very real safety problems caused by industrialized food production. The Foundation, as always, proposes Natural Solutions to this dilemma and urges supporters to visit our new Food Freedom eJournal at http://www.FoodFreedomeJournal.org.”

—————————————————————
* The language was modified later, and this later language was sent to Congress many thousands of times:
“The citizens ascribing to this Petition therefore hereby request that the
Food Safety Modernization Act be defeated, or that it, or any substitute for
it, such as H.R. 759, be amended to exclude organic and natural agriculture,
family farms and ranches, and natural or organic food products, including
dietary supplements, through a rule of interpretation, as follows:
“Rule of Interpretation
“No provision of this act shall be deemed to apply (a) to any home,
home-business, homestead, small farm organic or natural agricultural activity,
(b) to any family farm or ranch, or (c) to any natural or organic food
product, including dietary supplements regulated under the Dietary Supplement
Health and Education Act of 1994.”
“We also note the language of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 USC sec 203 (s)
(2) which provides, “(2) Any establishment that has as its only regular
employees the owner thereof or the parent, spouse, child, or other member of
the immediate family of such owner shall not be considered to be an enterprise
engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce or a part of
such an enterprise…”
“Language such as this would be helpful to allay our concerns.”
