URGENT! In This Issue:
Immediate Action Item –
Obama “Food Safety” Appointment Threat
* Action eAlert Item
* The General’s Communiqué
* Dr. Rima Recommends
The General’s Communique
Maj. Gen. Bert Stubblebine (U.S. Army ret.)
SUMMARY: URGENT: Act Today to Protect Food Safety Agency From
Monsanto Operative!
Food is, as we have been saying for some time, the central battle for freedom and survival. “Change”, which sounds great, has, in fact, become the mantra of those who seek corporate triumph over independent producers – and it’s happening around food. The mechanism is simple: a set of bills ostensibly devoted to “food safety” and “food security” — and a plan to put Big Agribiz supporters in charge.
In charge of what? Your food and mine – it’s supply, farming, production, food quality, irradiation, Codex on your dinner table, unlabeled GMOs and other profitable, but lethal, corporate-friendly food strategies. Through appointments and legislation, the change is coming fast and furious which could even make our own family farms and gardens the site of criminal activity if we attempt to grow our own food or produce and sell it.
So sure are they of victory that the President of change is about to appoint Michael Taylor, a lawyer for, and former executive at Monsanto, to head the empowered “food (sic)k safety (sic)k” agency.
Today’s eAction Item is quite simple: TELL THE PRESIDENT “NO” TO TAYLOR!
Time is short and the issue is of immense importance.
Urgent 3-Part Action Item:
Step 1: Click here to email the President NOW:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26941
Step 2: Call the White House switchboard at 202-456-1414 and the comment center 202-456-1111. Let’s keep those phones ringing!
Step 3: Click here to tell Congress “NO!” to all of the fake food “safety” bills. They provide neither real, wholesome food nor safety:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
Politicians often come up with bad ideas. These are not just bad ideas: they are a catastrophically bad ideas for BOTH health and freedom. In fact, we are facing nothing short of food tyranny that will kill not only organic farming, but lots of people as well, along with the entire private farming sector. Your own gardens are at risk.
The President’s appointment of someone so closely associated with industrialized “food” is “change” in exactly the wrong direction.
Let’s demand real change: that Congress and the President change directions!

Natural Solutions Green Portal and Nano Silver…
Introducing the Natural Solutions Green Portal! You already know that Natural Solutions Foundation is “More than just words….” Now it’s about supporting your needs when you shop and our Foundation, all at the same time.
You buy things. Why not have each purchase put a small donation – automatically, at no added charge to you, in our coffers at the same time? Great idea, right? here’s how:
Watch my short video about the Green Portal:
http://www.youtube.com/v/A52DcIG4qYI
Then, Natural Solutions Green Portal – Literally!
We look for solutions to social problems that support the natural environment. That’s why we’re pleased to invite you to “Go Green” and “Go Viral” with this Program by clicking on the link below, viewing the 3-minute video, and signing up TODAY to start saving:
www.NaturalSolutionsGreenPortal.net
How’s that for a great WIN-WIN?
And, of course, DO NOT FORGET your present – AND FUTURE – Nano silver needs!
To those of you who used our eAction Item to let the EPA know that you strongly oppose their classification of Nano silver, and the equipment that makes it, as a “pesticide” (sic), thank you. You can be very certain that if the EPA is allowed to take this action, the FDA will be hard on their heels banning this substance – which they have been trying to do for more than 30 years. Why allow people to use safe, cheap and effective silver, after all, when you can force them to use dangerous, expensive and increasingly ineffective drugs at a huge profit to Big Pharma?
No one knows just how long safe, effective and very, very long shelf-life Nano silver will continue to be available. Natural Solutions Foundation will, of course, keep working on preserving your right to access this valuable health aid, but we are all well aware that the “CHANGE” being offered to us is to remove our power and render us subject to the profit (and population) whims of multinational corporate interests – and worse.
That is why we urge you to make sure that you do not regret not having enough Nano silver, which has been shown to kill all pathogens, including avian flu viruses and eliminate the weird and awful condition known as “Morgellon’s Disease”, on hand for where we are now, and what might reasonably be expected in the future.

We’re here for you. You already know that.
It is essential that you help us continue fighting for health freedom IF you value that freedom. Because Natural Solutions Foundation is a tax exempt organization, all US tax payers’ donations are 100% tax exempt. Whether you are in the US or not, please click here (http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189) right now to make your continuing pledge (even small ones add up) to stop the globalists attempt to shred of your health freedom, including access to clean unadulterated food.

When is a Vrius a Good Thing?
When It Dissolves Lies and Spreads Truth
Everyone eats. So clean food is their issue. Everyone has a body so health freedom is their issue. That means that just about everyone you know or have access to is a potential ally. We need our Mouse Warriors to recruit more troops for the Health Freedom Movement.
That’s why we are asking your help in getting the word out on our Health Freedom Action eAlert Items AND getting everyone you know to join the free, secure Health Freedom eAlert system:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=187
You can be sure that the multinationals are not happy about our activism. This is a good thing. The change we need will not come from them and from their agents unless we loose the Health Freedom War. The outcome is up to us.
We MUST be the change we seek and we must bring it about through strategy and a united effort.
Thank you for your activism and support!
Oh, and part of that change is happening in Panama.

Text of the Open Letter to the President and Congress about the contamination of vaccines with live Avian Flu virus in January 2009 – http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2233
UPDATE: Proactive Protection from the “Pandemic” – http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2581
And this quote just in from Dr. Joseph Mercola (04/29/09):
“Could a mixed animal-human mutant like this occur naturally? And if not, who made it, and how was it released?
“Not one to dabble too deep in conspiracy theories, I don’t have to strain very hard to find actual facts to support the notion that this may not be a natural mutation, and that those who stand to gain have the wherewithal to pull off such a stunt.
“Just last month I reported on the story that the American pharmaceutical company Baxter was under investigation for distributing the deadly avian flu virus to 18 different countries as part of a seasonal flu vaccine shipment. Czech reporters were probing to see if it may have been part of a deliberate attempt to start a pandemic; as such a “mistake” would be virtually impossible under the security protocols of that virus.”

The General’s Communiqué
Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III
(US Army, Ret.)
Big Pharma Company “Accidentally”
Contaminates Vaccines With LIVE
AVIAN FLU VIRUS in 18 Countries
Protecting Yourself and Family
Dr. Rima and I are still in Germany where the talk of health freedom advocates is this horrifying late-breaking story, though you may already be aware of it. Although it is being widely reported around the world, the US MMD (media of mass deception) appears to have a blackout placed on this story.
World media are reporting that Baxter Pharmaceuticals has admitted that it “accidentally” contaminated various vaccine batches with Avian Flu viruses. These batches were shipped to 18 countries. Clearly, either 1. stupidity and incompetence or 2. intentional contamianation of flu vaccine lots was at work.
Number 1 is easy to understand. Number 2 comes into focus quickly when you realize that there are many competing Avian Flu Vaccines already in production and in the Pharma “pipeline” although Avian Flu has been slow to become pandemic by “jumping the sepecies barrier” to humans in large numbers.
Vaccines are profitable ONLY if used in huge numbers. Competing vaccines, for a disease which has yet to pose any reasonable threat, have a tough economic row to how. But a good, solid cluster of cases, or, better yet, several clusters, would create a hue and cry for those vaccines which is difficult to imagine. Bottom line for Big Pharma? One of the biggest wins in history. Bottom line for Little People? A manipulated disaster of unprecedented magnitude precipitated by unprecedented avarice and greed.
Baxter International Inc. is no stranger to recalls and lethal contaminations:
January 17, 2008 Recalls 9 lots of heparin sodium injection products due to a higher than usual number of reports of adverse patient reactions after suspending production Voluntary recall of all remaining lots and doses of its heparin sodium injection multi-dose, single-dose vials and HEP-LOCK heparin flush products http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/baxter02_08.html
February 28, 2008 Voluntary recall of all remaining lots and doses of its heparin sodium injection multi-dose, single-dose vials and HEP-LOCK heparin flush products http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/baxter02_08.html
July 30, 2007 Baxter recalls faulty infusion pumps http://www.devicelink.com/mddi/blog/?p=443
February 2, 2006 Urgent recall letter on faulty volumetric pumps classified by FDA as a Class I recall http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/baxter-unit-fda-classifies-customer/story.aspx?guid={FE374F7D-FCE4-40B8-99CF-4E0A0C46F058}
July 24, 2001 Albumin Buminate 5 percent, used to treat burn and shock victims, recalled following revelation that it was tainted with HIV-2 http://www.aegis.org/news/ct/2001/CT010716.html
December 12, 2005 Dialysis machines recalled due to faulty transfusion tubing which kinks http://www.redherring.com/Home/14857
October 21, 2001 Baxter International Inc. recalled some of its blood-cleaning filters pending results of an investigation into the deaths of 23 kidney dialysis patients in Croatia http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-10322069_ITM
So through either conspiracy or stupidity, either way, a potential pandemic was nearly unleashed on the world.
What happens then? Here is what the US has planned:
1. Immediate demand for mass vaccination without the right to object on religious or other grounds.
2. Compulsory vaccination or dentention under Patriot I, Patriot II, BARDA, BioShield I, BioShield II and/or State Emergency Medical Powers Acts.
And here is what the UN has planned:
1. The “North American Plan for Avian & Pandemic Influenza” provides that in the case of a pandemic, “U.N. law along with regulations by the World Trade Organization and World Health Organization as supreme over U.S. law during a pandemic” setting the stage for militarizing the management of continental health emergencies (Jerome Corsi, http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2007/020907_power_grab.htm)
Baxter mixed a virus which has a hard time infecting people (H5N1 Avian Flu) with one that infects them easily (“Seasonal Flu”) in a medium which can promote mutations of the H5N1 virus into a type which can infect us easily. What will be in the vaccine you are forced/coerced/threatened into allowing into your body? Who knows?
What we do know is that you and I want, demand, must have, the right to say “NO!” to vaccinations and other treatments that we do not want. The Police Power of the State ENDS at my skin and yours!
Your action is needed now. Click below to send your letter demanding that Congress pass legislation NOW assuring your right to refuse vaccination whether there is a declared Pandemic or not.
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26830
Text of the Petition Letter:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2233
If, in the event of a Pandemic, you choose, for example, to take safe and effective Nano Silver – www.nutronix.com/naturalsolutions
– (as I will) rather than dangerous and potentially deadly vaccines, this MUST be your right without being detained or declared a felon, forcibly detained or otherwise moles.
Now that you have this information, please make sure that everyone you know gets this information from you with the request to take action and send this on to their contacts as well.
You can read more about the details at this page, where we first broke this story and are reproducing some media articles substantiating this matter.
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2191
This is an Emergency Action eAlert. What we need to address here is what you can do now.
Health Freedom needs your support. We need you to take the Action Steps outlined in this urgent Pandemic Alert.
< < < PLEASE DO NOT PANIC > > >
Here is what you can do:
1. Stock up on foods and necessities, in the event you need to self-quarantine. Two to three months worth.
2. Stock up on nutrients and natural remedies that will help support your immune system, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin D, nano-silver, herbs such as echinacea. Visit www.Organics4U.org or other reliable sites to find clean, unadulterated nutrients.
3. Read these Health Freedom Blog postings from last summer, when we first raised the issue of weaponized avian flu.
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=755
4. Avoid large crowds. Shop on line; while you are at it, patronize our sponsors whose links are on the right hand menu of this email.
5. Protect your immune system: Avoid vaccinations!
6. Read our Preparedness Memorandum:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=752
And one more thing. We need your financial support, now more than ever. Please give generously at:

This week, Austria and Hungary won the right, after several rounds of losses in the WTO and EU dispute resolution systems, to ban genetically modified foods, specifically MON810 and TK25 maize (corn) from their countries. This is of enormous importance to food quality, health and health freedom and sets important precidents in Europe and, because of the WTO, potentially around the globe. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/038509e8-0794-11de-9294-000077b07658.html
The Natural Solutions Foundation is just giving birth to Natural Solutions Foundation – Europe and we will be taking this opportunity to create national petitions here in Europe, starting with Germany, to tell national parliaments that the will of the people is NOT to eat Frankenfood.
As you probably already know from our discussions of what is going on at Codex, the US is trying very hard to force GMO “food” and seeds on an unwilling third world and on Europe. This victory in Europe can help to change the balance of power in Codex as well.
If you are in Europe, or have European connections, please join our new Natural Solutions Europe forum. We need your voices in Europe AND around the world!

Congress, the President and other decision makers must get your message loud and clear! Now that Health Freedom made it among the Top Ten social issues on Change.org and Change.gov, we are ready to push even harder. That’s where these Health Freedom Action eAlerts make a difference. Please take these actions:
New Action Item:
Tell the President and Congress that we want them to protect our right to refuse medical treatments including vaccinations
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26830
1. Tell Congress “No” on the farm control bills!
HR 875 and S.425
We’ve set up an Action Item for you to send an unmistakable message to your representatives in the Senate and the House. We must educate Congress that you do not want organic and small farmers regulated out of existence.
You do not want “Big Agra” regulations, perhaps necessary to protect the public when dealing with large scale agra business, applied to organic and small family farms and ranches or to natural and organic food products including Dietary Supplements.
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
2. Tell the President about Change: Health Freedom is Our First Freedom
You made “Health Freedom Is Our First Freedom” one of the top 10 items on America’s mind with your votes to Change.org. Now we have to make that message resonate through the White House halls.
Will the new President listen? Only if we tell him, in our hundreds of thousands! We need your help in making this campaign “go viral” to “infect” the Internet with health freedom! Please forward to your entire list and ask them to ACT NOW!
Click below to tell President Obama that we want REAL change — which means more freedom and choice in our lives, not more control over needed medical treatments by yet another overblown, impossible to approach Federal bureaucracy!

http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2096
3. Right to Use – Right to Choose – Use Nano Silver
Thanks to Mouse Warriors, the Deadline for Comments has been extended to March 20, 2009 by the EPA. We won that skirmish, but the war is still raging.
Retain the Right to Choose Nano Silver. Tell EPA Not to topical Ban Nano Silver of Any Type. Whether you use Nano Silver or not (and we certainly do!), let’s make sure that we have the right to make that choice!
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26405
Want to know more? Read Defending Nano Silver:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=1773
4. Divest FDA/USDA of Food Regulation Authority – and all government agencies of their often misused power to deny us access to wholesome nutrition and natural remedies. Protect Food from FDA/USDA Regulation! We oppose H.R. 875 and S. 425, but do support divesting the FDA!
With those bills, Congress is about to create a new agency for “Food Safety”. Our analysis is that it will be worse than both FDA and USDA combined. We need to get food out of Federal hands, and quickly. Just think what the new farm bills, coupled with a new industry-controlled, agency will do to your food, your health and your freedom. Having contemplated that horrific outcome, take action and ask everyone you know to do the same.

Dr. Laibow Reporting from Europe
Europe is ripe for health freedom because they are loosing their health, food and freedom at an astonishing rate. In some ways, that rate is even faster than the loss of freedoms in the US. Things have gotten so bad here that people are ready to make them right now.
We have been meeting with anti-censorship, food freedom activists, physicians, dentists, patients, vaccine “truthers” and others on a gruelling schedule here in Europe since we arrived about two weeks ago. The consensus is clear: Europe is ready for a strong and effective health freedom movement and we are here to make that happen.
There are organizations here which focus on health freedoms and we will be forging alliances with those that are effective and focused on the solutions, not on internacine warfare and wasting time (that should sound familiar to Health Freedom advocates in the US!) General Bert and I are finding a huge welcome from the people we are meeting with during our fact-finding, private diplomacy mission here in Europe. Click below to see my report on our activities (and stay tuned for the next update).
The report includes our presentation to a 2,000 person anti-censorship gathering in Switzerland and work with videographers and health freedom advocates in Germany. We’ll be discussing the new allignment developing in the EU and how what happens in Europe will effect our freedoms here in the US and the rest of the Americas.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmMXIfYZ6AE
We first raised the issue of Weaponized Avian Flu as a real threat to world security last summer. Since then we have revisited the issue as developments warranted.
We questioned how many laboratories around the world had pharmaceutical and gov’t funding for weaponized Avian Flu research, and how many such “studies” were needed to guarantee that a virulent version of the virus would escape containment and lead to a pandemic. That question still remains unanswered.
However we now see that even the most sophisticated pharmaceutical containment systems are not full-proof. And what was the Avian Flu virus doing “accidentally” in the vicinity of vaccines?
We must be clear: we do not know if this “accident” will lead to a world wide flu pandemic. We pray not. But what we want the most is for you all to be prepared.

What do I recommend today? Just what I recommended a couple of days ago, in our last Action eAlert, before the pandemic risk threat level was so dramatically raised by the Baxter Pharmaceutical “accidental” flu virus contamination of vaccinations —
“I recommend a large dose of HOPE and a fulfillment of PROMISE… the Hope that together we are making a difference… the Promise that we will always try!”
We’ve been in Europe where people are shocked but not surprised about revelations such as the Baxter contamination indictment. Gen. Bert and I presented at the well attended AZK anti censorship coalition conference in Chur, Switzerland weekend before last. Approximately 2000 people filled the City Hall of Chur where leading truth and freedom movement activists and whistleblowers spoke to a rapt crowd. The video report of this conference will be available on line shortly and I’ll let you know when you can watch it.
Corruption in the Economic and Pharmaceutical worlds were detailed by insiders. General Bert and I offered a detailed and comprehensive look at Codex and its Genocidal agenda, past and future.
But what happened after that is really exciting. We see a new alignment developing in the EU! What happens in Europe will effect our freedoms here in the US and the rest of the Americas.
So here is your part: if you are a health freedom supporter in Europe or have language skills that you are willing to volunteer to translate information into various languages, we can share what we know, and learn from our European colleagues as we create the “Natural Solutions Foundation – Europe” organization. If you have friends, relatives and contacts in Europe, please contact them and ask them to visit www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org and sign up for the free, secure and very important Health Freedom Action eAlerts. We will be publishing action steps for those living in Europe as we go forward. And of course, please ask them to join our NSF-EU forum at:

So conspiracy or stupidity, either way, a potential pandemic was nearly unleashed on the world.
What happens then? Here is what the US has planned:
1. Immediate demand for mass vaccination without the right to object on religious or other grounds.
2. Compulsory vaccination or detention under Patriot I, Patriot II, BARDA, BioShield I, BioShield II and/or State Emergency Medical Powers Acts.
And here is what the UN has planned:
1. The “North American Plan for Avian & Pandemic Influenza” provides that in the case of a pandemic, “U.N. law along with regulations by the World Trade Organization and World Health Organization as supreme over U.S. law during a pandemic” setting the stage for militarizing the management of continental health emergencies (Jerome Corsi, http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2007/020907_power_grab.htm)
Baxter mixed a virus which has a hard time infecting people (H5N1 Avian Flu) with one that infects them easily (“Seasonal Flu”) in a medium which can promote mutations of the H5N1 virus into a type which can infect us easily.
Your action is needed now. Click below to send your letter demanding that Congress pass legislation NOW assuring your right to refuse vaccination whether there is a declared Pandemic or not.
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26830
If, in the event of a Pandemic, you choose, for example, to take safe and effective Nano Silver – www.nutronix.com/naturalsolutions – rather than dangerous and potentially deadly vaccines, this MUST be your right without being detained or declared a felon, forcibly detained or otherwise moles.
Now that you have this information, please make sure that everyone you know gets this information from you with the request to take action and send this on to their contacts as well.
We will continue to post updates at: www.HealthFreedomUSA.org Health Freedom Blog
We first raised the issue of Weaponized Avian Flu as a real threat to world security last summer. Since then we have revisited the issue as developments warranted. We questioned how many laboratories around the world had pharmaceutical and gov’t funding for weaponized Avian Flu research, and how many such “studies” were needed to guarantee that a virulent version of the virus would escape containment and lead to a pandemic. That question still remains unanswered. However we now see that even the most sophisticated pharmaceutical containment systems are not full-proof. And what was the Avian Flu virus doing “accidentally” in the vicinity of vaccines?
We must be clear: we do not know if this “accident” will lead to a world wide flu pandemic. We pray not. But what we want the most is for you all to be prepared.

The General’s Communiqué
Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III
(US Army, Ret.)
Crisis After Crisis…
Remember the “Food Safety Agency” bills (H.R. 875 and S.425) pending in Congress… ” These bills will industrialize all farms and insure the farmers are forced to buy chemicals and drugs. Organic is dead. As well as human control over the food supply. As well as health.” – Linn Cohen-Cole.
Here is the Action Item so you can send an unmistakable message to your representatives in the Senate and the House. Please click your Mouse and take action NOW!
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
The Nano Silver Controversy
As you know, these “food safety” bills are not the only issue we’ve brought to your attention recently. You’re aware of the FDA’s banning of a certain natural form of Vitamin B-6 last month, in a way that puts all dietary ingredients at risk. You’re aware of the effort of some to have the EPA declare topical silver products “unapproved pesticides” and our efforts to send comments to the EPA before the March 20th deadline.
Recently some usually pro-freedom consumer groups have joined the pro-regulator band-wagon regarding EPA banning nano-silver products. Natural Solutions Foundation supports the availability of nano-silver products.
We think what is happening is that some well-meaning people are confusing silver ions with the types of untested GMO (genetically modified organisms) products and new technology nano-products to which we have always urged the application of the Precautionary Principle [that the company offering a truly new technology product is obligated to reasonably substantiate that it is safe for use as directed, and that new products should not be offered to the public without meeting this standard].
We do not think nano-silver products fit that criteria.
All silver products work the same way: they shed silver ions which have germicidal capacity. An ion is a single atom stripped of some of its electrons, leaving it electrically charged. A nano particle is made of many atoms. A nano particle of silver is simply a small chunk of the element, smaller even than the microscopic size silver particles found in the colloidal silver solutions that have been available for nearly two centuries.
Silver has been used safely for utensils for millennia, with traditionally noted germ-suppressing capacity. The uses being questioned by the EPA are substantially equivelent to this traditional use. Supplemental silver has been ingested safely (argyria is not a safety issue!) for nearly two centuries.
Silver products are quite distinct from the GMO or untested nano-particle products to which the Precautionary Principle should apply. Therefore, we urge you to send an appropriate message to the EPA:

“Mouse Warrior” Action Items
Congress, the President and other decision makers must get your message loud and clear! Now that Health Freedom made it among the Top Ten social issues on Change.org and Change.gov, we are ready to push even harder. That’s where these Health Freedom Action eAlerts make a difference. Please take these actions:
1. Tell Congress “No” on the farm control bills! HR 875 and S.425
We’ve set up an Action Item for you to send an unmistakable message to your representatives in the Senate and the House. We must educate Congress that you do not want organic and small farmers regulated out of existence.
You do not want “Big Agra” regulations, perhaps necessary to protect the public when dealing with large scale agra business, applied to organic and small family farms and ranches or to natural and organic food products including Dietary Supplements.
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
2. Tell the President about Change: Health Freedom is Our First Freedom
You made “Health Freedom Is Our First Freedom” one of the top 10 items on America’s mind with your votes to Change.org. Now we have to make that message resonate throught the White House halls.
Will the new President listen? Only if we tell him, in our hundreds of thousands! We need your help in making this campaign “go viral” to “infect” the Internet with health freedom! Please forward to your entire list and ask them to ACT NOW!
Click here to tell President Obama that we want real change — which means more freedom and choice in our lives, not more control over needed medical treatments by yet another overblown, impossible to approach Federal bureaucracy!

3. Right to Use ~ Right to Choose Use Nano Silver
Thanks to Mouse Warriors, the Deadline for Comments has been extended to March 20, 2009 by the EPA. We won that skirmish, but the war is still raging.
Retain the Right to Choose Nano Silver. Tell EPA Not to topical Ban Nano Silver of Any Type. Whether you use Nano Silver or not (and we certainly do!), let’s make sure that we have the right to make that choice!
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26405

4. Divest FDA/USDA of Food Regulation Authority
– and all government agencies of their often misused power to deny us access to wholesome nutrition and natural remedies. Protect Food from FDA/USDA Regulation!
Congress is about to create a new agency for “Food Safety”. Our analysis is that it will be worse than both FDA and USDA combined. We need to get food out of Federal hands, and quickly. Just think what the new farm bills, coupled with a new industry-controlled, agency will do to your food, your health and your freedom. Having contemplated that horrific outcome, take action and ask everyone you know to do the same.

Counsel’s Corner
Ralph Fucetola, JD
Part of the battle for our health and freedom is through our food. But the issues are even more complex, as you know if you have been following our Health Freedom Action eAlerts and Health Freedom Blog for any time.
I was honored to address a Health Freedom Rally in New Jersey recently and was able to share the current state of the battle with the Health Freedom Advocates (and perhaps the infiltrators there.
The resulting two part film is an educational tool which I invite you to watch and share widely. My new 2 part video made while I informed other health freedom advocates at a Health Freedom Rally – Hunterdon Central High, Flemington, NJ can be seen now at:
http://vitaminlawyerhealthfreedom.blogspot.com/2009/02/health-freedom-is-our-first-freedom.html
Now that you have watched it, please send this video, and this Health Freedom Action e Alert, to your entire list.
Let people know that they can sign up for their own copies of the Health Freedom Action e Alert at http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=187 . This information needs to become a “Freedom Virus” and we, the Mouse Warriors, can make that happen.

Dr. Rima Recommends:
What do I recommend today?
1. Click here to send this open letter to President Obama and your Congressmen and Women:
The President:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26671
Congress:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
2. Click here to support the Natural Solutions Foundation, you health freedom champions. Wait a bit and there may be nothing left to defend. Remember, the “Stimulus Plan” makes any medical care which is not approved by the new Super Bureaucracy in Health And Human Services a forbidden treatment or option.
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189
3. Click here to send a strong message to Congress that the so-called “Health Care Reforms” in the Stimulus Bill are unconstitutional and violate your rights. Therefore, they MUST be repealed in favor of legislation which memorializes you right to control your body and your health choices. Anything less is catastrophic and will mean that your options can only be exercised off shore in the near future.
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
Are you prepared to surrender your right to natural health to Codex, to President Obama and to the Pharmaceutical corporations? If you are, please, please do nothing.
Oh, by they way, your reproductive rights are next. Here is what is happening in the Netherlands. If Holland goes, can the US be far behind?
Bert and I presented at the AZK anti censorship coalition conference in Chur, Switzerland. Approximately 2000 filled the City Hall of Chur where leading truth and freedom movement activists and whistleblowers spoke to a rapt crowd. Corruption in the Economic and Pharmaceutical worlds were detailed by insiders. General Bert and I offered a detailed and comprehensive look at Codex and its Genocidal agenda, past and future.
Look for the video of our presentation… it will be posted soon!
We’re also discussing the creation of an EU Natural Solutions Foundation, with a leading European Constitutional Attorney and Law Professor — how to create the petition to reopen EU policy on natural supplements, food, herbs, medicine and Codex.
One million signatures needed in EU, 50K signatures needed in Switzerland , and we have allies from all of the continent who will work with us to bring this petition forward. The EU has strong recall provisions which we lack in the US but it would be very helpful to our side to detach the EC from the “rear” of the US in its slavish support of the policies of the Bigs (Big Pharma, Big Agra, Big Chema, Big Finance and Big Govt) which the US brings forward on every Codex issue.
Only on GMOs does the EU differ from the US, and that rift has been meaningful up to now. We want more rifts, bigger rifts, better rifts!
Perhaps we want the EU out of Codex. We shall see what the Constitutional Law Professor has to say when he advises us.And we will, of course, advise you!
Do we want a European presence for the Natural Solutions Foundation, just as we have an African and a Panamanian? Of course we do! And that, too, will be part of the discussion. We are building for Global Health Freedom at the same time that the other side is destroying for global health fascism.
Which side are YOU on? Where is your support? Of course it is with freedom. Now, check at least one of the boxes below to know what you want to do to build the momentum and power of the health freedom movement over the next 7 days:

http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189
[ ] 10. Disseminate, Disseminate, Disseminate! In activism, there are only two options: have enough money or have enough people to bring your point of view forward compellingly. Well, we have people. You have more people. And they have yet more people.
Please be aware of what all these people have accomplished already. Like stopping the ’06 anti-CAM FDA guidance; like keeping the DSHEA protective language in the ’07 FDA bill… Never lose heart!
It is up to us to make sure that the forces which are rapidly trying to destroy our food, our fertility and our freedoms do not succeed. We are, after all, free men and women who own our own bodies and we must vigorously protect that ownership.
So the time has come. Paul Revere is swinging his lantern. You are on the winning side, but you must act, and act and act. Now.
I am proud to be associative with the Natural Solutions Foundation and I know you are, too. Let’s take that pride and manifest it as power: the Power to Speak Truth and Manifest Freedom – Health Freedom
Please share this health freedom information with your friends and contacts and ask them to help protect food and freedom, too. Let them know that they can get their very free subscription to the Health Freedom Action eAlerts at http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=187.

We have Another Friend in Congress!
Powerful Congresswoman Rosa L. DeLauro (D-CT) has adopted a position in line with what the Natural Solutions Foundation has been calling for over the last months: the FDA cannot regulate drugs and their major economic competitor, foods. She also applauds our oft-repeated assessment of the FDA’s performance in food safety is beyond dismal and cites the recent – and damning – Government Accountability Office (GAO) study to document just how dismal it is.
Up to now, the solution of the Federal Government to repeated exposure of how dangerous, corrupt and damaged the FDA is has been two fold: either Congress took away powers and responsibilities to set up new agencies (e.g., EPA, Consumer Protection Agency, Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, etc.) or they passed new legislation which gave the failed, and deadly, agency more money and more power to do a worse job with (e.g., 2008 FDA Reorganization Act). The current food safety crisis, with melamine approved for infants, GMO foods and cloned meats and milk approved without scientific studies showing they are safe, fluoridation of water permitted and encouraged despite massive scientific evidence documenting its dangers, irradiation of everything it can find a way to irradiate, including raw nuts and salad greens approved regardless of rational thought, growth hormones, pesticides, veterinary antibiotics permitted in outrageous doses, a relentless assault on dietary supplements, herbs and other non-drug health strategies, multinational servitude in Codex with disastrous results to the world food supply, etc., etc., etc., must be laid solely at the doorstep of one of the most dangerous and corrupt agencies in the history of the United State.
It is time to stop the losses and get food out of the dirty hands of the FDA. The same, of course, is true of the USDA. How? By giving food regulations back to the States where the local interest influences of consumers and the impact of local certification programs can help us to reclaim the production of safe, wholesome food and make it accessible for all of us once again.
Industrial food is killing us.
Let’s kill the messenger and get government out of food and food out of government.

Food Safety Mustn’t Be Left In FDA’s Hands
Congresswoman ROSA L. DELAURO
February 8, 2009
For years now, the American people have learned to live with the possibility that their food may not be safe. The list of incidents has grown month after month, from spinach to shellfish from ground beef to peppers.
Now, a devastating salmonella outbreak has been tied to the Peanut Corp. of America and its Blakely, Ga., plant. It has killed eight people and sickened more than 500 people across the country, and a criminal investigation is underway to determine whether the producer knowingly sold a dangerous, contaminated product.
But this is not just a case of one bad actor. This salmonella outbreak is just the latest — and it represents the full-scale breakdown of a patchwork food safety system. When we look at recent headlines, it is hard not to see a food safety system in crisis — a dysfunctional federal agency, the Food and Drug Administration. unable to perform its mission and protect the American public.
Last month, the Government Accountability Office deemed that the regulatory activities governing food safety continue to pose a “high risk” to the economy and public health — the consequence of a fragmented legal and organizational structure with insufficient authority and too few resources to protect the American people.
While innocent people continued to get sick from contaminated peanut butter, the case lingered in jurisdictional limbo between the FDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, causing critical delays. And when the salmonella’s source was finally identified, FDA officials had to wait for industry approval before they could go live with the recall. That is not how a fully functioning regulatory agency is supposed to operate.
To truly fix inherent problems in our food safety system, we must fundamentally restructure the food safety bureaucracy at the FDA. Today, food safety is divided among multiple, separately managed units at the FDA — the Office of the Commissioner, the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, the Center for Veterinary Medicine, the field force (Office of Regulatory Affairs) and the National Center for Toxicological Research. As a result, there is no one single individual to be held accountable for food safety at the FDA or anywhere else at the federal level.
Separating food safety regulation from drug and device approvals would go a long way toward restoring the balance that has long been missing at the federal Department of Health and Human Services, and give food safety the attention it deserves. By establishing a Food Safety Administration within Health and Human Services, headed by its own commissioner, we can give food safety experts and researchers the room and the resources to do their jobs.
Because we need an agency fully committed to actively preventing food-borne illness, not just reacting to it, I have introduced the Food Safety Modernization Act. In addition to establishing a new, separate Food Safety Administration, this legislation would provide the regulatory tools to access important records, recall products and penalize companies for knowingly selling tainted products. It also would require traceability, mandate regular inspections, demand that imported food meet our safety standards and require companies to take preventive measures.
While these are not new ideas, the push for change could not be more urgent. With every recall, the American people grow more concerned and the momentum for reform grows. I know this is an important issue for many of my colleagues in Congress and I look forward to working with them to ensure food safety is a priority.
Ultimately, though, it starts at the top. For eight years, our food safety system has been crippled by disinvestment, mismanagement and a failure to meet its most basic regulatory responsibilities. True reform is going to require strong leadership from our president.
I am confident, at last, that we have a government that understands its obligation to its citizens and is ready to modernize our food safety system to better protect public health.
