International Treaties and the Supremacy Clause

by: Ben Taylor

I have received an email (bottom of page below my commentary) several times now stating that it has been ”100% verified” that Obama has legally found a way around the 2nd Amendment, which would by implication mean the whole Constitution and Declaration of Independence for that matter. I do not accept that premise. No one in government has any authority to terminate Constitutionally secured rights under any circumstance whatsoever. Can it really be that we have no God-given unalienable Rights …or is it so only if we’re foolish enough to accept such seditious balderdash? I’m no scholar, but there seems to me to be some fundamentally flawed thinking going on here and we had better not buy into it. As Winston Churchill once stated, “This is nonsense, up with which I will not put!” I would change that to, “This is nonsense, up with which We The People of America will not put!” Let’s look at this issue logically from the perspective of our Nation’s founding documents and the original intent of those documents, rather than some self-serving globalist disarmament agenda interpretation.

The supremacy clause may be one of the more deliberately misconstrued sections of The Constitution by those seeking to destroy America. But, I believe the application of some basic logic will tell us what the second paragraph of Article VI really means. This is a matter so basic to what we are as a Nation and why we were founded it doesn’t require a lengthy research dissertation to grasp. Simple logic will tell us that we cannot on one hand believe that our Nation was founded on principles of individual sovereignty and unalienable Rights granted by The Creator to individually sovereign People and on the other hand believe that a President and Congress has the authority to enter into ‘contract/treaty’ with a foreign power which would, with the stroke of a pen, erase those Rights that our founding documents say cannot be taken or given away. You simply can’t have it both ways. When two diametrically opposed concepts compete for validity, then one must fall to the other.

Even a limited degree of thought dictates that we must disagree with the false premise that the President or any elected representative of our government has any authority to enter into any agreement with a foreign nation that would compromise the unalienable rights as set forth in the Declaration of Independence and secured by The Constitution and other Organic Laws. If that could be done, then there would be no protection for any right; the President/government could simply enter into a treaty with some foreign nation and there would be no such thing as an ‘unalienable right’. There are no conditions placed on our God-given Rights except that they cannot directly compromise the lives, rights, and property of another who also holds those God-given Rights to Life, Liberty, Property and The Pursuit of Happiness.

Let’s get down to where the rubber meets the road and not beat around the bush on this topic. The sole purpose of ‘government’ in America is to protect the individual God-given ‘Natural Rights’ of ‘We The People’. That is the fundamental nucleus around which an American government must rotate. Such a government has no lawful mandate to act as some business corporate entity, negotiating here and making deals there that could even be presumed to compromise these Rights …for any reason. The job of our ‘public servants’ in government is to ensure that those Rights enunciated by the Declaration of Independence are secured. There is no authority or right for them to act in any other capacity and when they do so in contradiction to this mandate, they are in a state of treason to We The People of America and to the States! Any official of government, including but not limited to, Barry Sotelo aka Hussien Obama with his gun treaties or George W. Bush with his [un]Patriot Act or Rick Perry with his support of The North American Union ‘super-nation’, who enters into such agreements with foreign entities or nations and violates the Rights of Americans has committed acts of treason should be so charged.

Black’s Law Dictionary 6th Edition, defines the following, “Unalienable. Incapable of being aliened, that is sold and transferred; Inalienable rights. Rights which can never be abridged because they are so fundamental; Alien. To transfer or make over to another; to convey or transfer the property of a thing from one person to another. Alienate.” Our rights are ours, they cannot be taken away; they cannot be given away. They are yours and mine; we are stuck with them whether we like them or not. There is simply no lawful way for government and officials of government to circumvent the Natural Rights of the people of America. None!

Treaties are for the purpose of conducting commerce and external relations between America and other nations, not for their tampering with the internal affairs of and the unalienable rights of the People of America. Thomas Jefferson reflected the general sentiment of the Founders about relations and treaties with other nations when he said, “Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto.” Those men would never have stood for or any concept whereby treaties with other nations could cause our founding documents to become null and void. If the God-given Rights of Life, Liberty, Property, and The Pursuit of Happiness could be arbitrarily removed on the whims of an agreement with another nation, then they wouldn’t be Rights at all, would they? The acceptance of such a foreign concept to American founding principles would have made the establishment of America an exercise in futility.

The supremacy clause of Article VI, states, “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.” This clause references treaties made by the ‘federal government’ on behalf of the States and The People so that there would be a uniformity of agreements between American States and other nations. If not you would have 50 states entering into all sorts of ‘different’ alliances and contracts with foreign entities creating complete commercial chaos.

There are two phrases in this clause that are most often misunderstood. The first, “Under the Authority of the United States” does not mean ‘any authority’ that a President, Congress, or United States official might claim at any given time. The United States, as the collective servant representative of the States and The People, has an oft stated limited authority; it cannot assume or presume more authority that was granted to it by the Several (creator) States which formed it. The ‘authority’ cited is that granted ‘limited authority’, not some presumed broader or ‘claimed authority’ contrary to the most basic principles of American Liberty. To accept such a foolish notion would require a total ignorance of the principles on which America was founded or a deliberate attempt to subvert our founding principles.

The second, “…any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding” is also being misconstrued.  Although it’s obvious that this clause references a ‘supremacy’ of the ‘United States’ government over individual State governments to enter into agreements with other nations, it cannot do so when such supremacy contradicts or infringes upon the laws or Constitutions of the ‘States’. Any other interpretation makes no sense. There is no doubt that the writers of our founding documents could have done a better job at times elaborating on some things than they did, but they didn’t necessarily envision that certain basic principles would ever become misunderstood.

A treaty to regulate the sale and movement of arms between nations would be a legitimate interpretation of the second clause of Article VI; a treaty to violate the sovereignty of America and the Right To Bear Arms of its people would not be. It would be ‘void ab initio’. That means any such agreement with another nation that would presume to infringe upon the God-given unalienable Rights of We The People is void from the beginning! No American government entity (state or national) has any such power and authority to violate the basic Rights which government in American is mandated to preserve and protect. Does it make any sense that such a ‘government’ would then be granted ‘authority’ by the Founders via treaty power to destroy the rest of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence? Of course not!

If anyone has any misconceptions about how our Founders felt about government usurpation of the God-given Rights of the People, read the following quotes by a few credible men, followed in some cases by my own comments in bold :

George Washington stated, “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” Government can be trusted with very little and with that comes an eternal vigilance to keep it in check.

“Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth.” There is method to this madness of violating and stealing the Right of The People To Bear Arms; the world government movement which is subverting our American government has terrible things in store for us and they need a disarmed American People to succeed.

Thomas Jefferson said, “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” It doesn’t say, except in the case of a treaty with another nation.

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” It is exactly this principle upon which the Right To Bear Arm stands; an armed citizenry helps to ensure that government and its officials have a healthy fear of 'We The People'.

 “Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.” “I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.” Does this imply in any stretch of the imagination that foreign powers and their negotiators are safe depositories?
 
“The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.” “Nothing is unchangeable but the inherent and unalienable rights of man.” Again, our God-given unalienable Rights mean they cannot be changed, abridged, infringed, convey or transferred; no exceptions!

“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” The only limit on our Liberty is not the force of ‘the law’ itself at any given time, it is the Rights also held by our fellow Americans.

“I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” I think it can be safely assumed that this also applies to international treaties.

“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.” “Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.” This also applies to the re-interpretation of parts of the Constitution to put a stamp of approval on attempts to subvert and circumvent the limitations and shackles placed on government.

“It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.” Interpreting Article VI of the Constitution to support obvious error of thought can only stand by the force of a tyrannical government. The Truth in this matter is easily understood if one understands the history of America’s founding.

“That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.” “Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.” It is apparent that we are experiencing a government comprised of men and women that presume themselves to be kings.

James Madison wrote, “The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.” “The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.” The twisting of Constitutional principles by those in government for the disarmament and ultimate enslavement of America is the best example of why this is true.

“What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.”

“Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions.”

“The people are the only legitimate fountain of power, and it is from them that the constitutional charter, under which the several branches of government hold their power, is derived.” “The rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted.” American government has no other purpose and if we don’t soon re-learn that simple fact the American Republic will be lost.

Thomas Paine said, “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” It has been many decades since American government has been at its ‘best’ and if we don’t soon rein in ‘this state’ and put ‘the state’ back to some semblance of that ‘best state’, there will be nothing left for any of us or our posterity.

“That government is best which governs least.”

John Adams said, “There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.”

“Fear is the foundation of most governments.” Fear by We The People was never intended to be an element of American government, except for government officials/public servants fearing to violate the God-given Rights of The People.

“Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty.” Where I come from, my gun is my property just as assuredly as is my home and no public servant masquerading in the name of security or international treaty will ever steal that property.

“The happiness of society is the end of government.” The end of a government engaged in treason against the very People whom that government is sworn to protect and defend is unavoidable unless we soon return to the rule of (organic) law on which the American Constitutional Republic was founded.

These italicized quotes from a few of our Founding fathers, philosophers, and public officials/servants may not be necessary to most patriots, but the majority of The People and nearly all public officials/servants have forgotten them.

The bottom line is this, give up your guns and you give up your country. The world federalist powers trying to destroy America by reducing her to a 3rd world sub-nation/state know this better than many of our own people.

On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the United States

On Wednesday the Obama administration took its first major step in a plan to ban all firearms in the United States. The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms.

The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even understand what has happened. Obama can appear before the public and tell them that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead to new gun control laws, while cloaked in secrecy, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is committing the US to international treaties and foreign gun control laws. Does that mean Obama is telling the truth? What it means is that there will be no publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress. We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public. We will wake up another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm ownership. And then, we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment.

This is not a joke nor a false warning. As sure as government health care will be forced on us by the Obama administration through whatever means necessary, so will gun control.

U..S. reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto.

The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush's administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better. View The Full Article Here  14 Nov. 2009

Silence will lead us to Socialism.

Spending Freeze Not Likely

by: Ron Paul

Last week politicians in Washington made a few things clear about how they really feel about the state of the union. First, they are beginning to hear the growing discontent with the size and scope of government and the broken promises that keep piling up.

First, they are beginning to hear the growing discontent with the size and scope of government and the broken promises that keep piling up. Certain events in Massachusetts recently made that statement loud, clear and unavoidable. In the face of those events, the powers that be made the determination that some populist rhetoric was in order, and the idea of a spending freeze in Washington was proposed, albeit with several caveats. These caveats to the proposed spending freeze ensure that we are not at any real risk of actually doing anything about spending.

First of all is timing. It wouldn't go into effect until 2011, which allows plenty of time to increase spending levels quite a bit before they are frozen. If the administration really understood and cared about our spending problems they would not freeze spending a year from now, but cut spending immediately and significantly. But, spending cuts almost never happen in Washington, and they are not likely now or a year from now — if the politicians have anything to say about it.

The second caveat is the huge areas of the budget that are shielded from this freeze. The entire State Department budget is exempt, as are all entitlements, all military industrial spending and almost all foreign aid. Fully 7/8 of federal spending is excluded from this freeze, and some areas to be frozen were actually set to decrease, which means a freeze actually guarantees a higher level of spending.

Especially insulting is the idea that in spite of our own fiscal problems at home, taxpayer dollars will continue to be sent overseas in the form of foreign aid where it often does more harm than good. When need is demonstrated to Americans and they can afford it, they can be counted on for a tremendous outpouring of private, voluntary charity to worthy aid organizations, as we recently saw in Haiti. By contrast, government-to-government aid is taken from the poor by force and too often enriches the corrupt. It is counterproductive and wasteful. But the idea of eliminating, freezing, or reducing foreign aid is not up for serious debate any time soon.

The third caveat is what is included in the freeze that would make it politically impossible to pass Congress, for example air traffic controllers salaries, education, farm subsidies and national parks.

I do not necessarily want a cut in spending in this country — I just want to change who does the spending. The spending should be done by the people who earn the money, if they choose, and on what they choose, without any government interference. That is what makes the economy work. Politicians should stick to the very limited roles given them by the constitution instead of allocating such a sizeable portion of our capital and intervening through regulations and tax policy. But because politicians have disregarded the constitution, and the people have no idea what rule they will break next, there is already a very real spending freeze underway in this economy, by the people. If government would stick only to what it was authorized to do, and leave the rest to the people, most of these problems would resolve themselves.

Government Healthcare Takeover

by: Ben Taylor

Silver Bulletin Readers,

Please read the following letter written this past summer to Senator Bayh of Indiana by Dr. Stephen E. Fraser. The so-called Health Care legislation really has nothing to do with caring for anyone’s health. It is simply another federal government excuse to control every aspect of our lives and will expose our private affairs to even greater government intrusion. Make no mistake about it, this coupled with the international Codex Alimentarius treaty, is simply another part of the world federalism movement to wrap the lives of all Americans within a global government structure.

Another primary purpose is to force everyone into ‘mainstream’ medicine whether we believe it is best for us and our families or not. We will be required to spend our hard earned and dwindling resources on ‘mainstream’ medicine and/or on ‘health’ insurance which will seldom if ever pay for alternative health treatment and methods of disease prevention. Those of us who generally live healthy lifestyles (the right foods, supplements and exercise) and have a minimum of ill health issues will still be forced to pay for those who actively destroy their health through their foolish and gluttonous lifestyles.

Although almost all federal regulation of anything is non-Constitutional, if they spent a minute’ fraction on educating the citizenry on the health dangers of processed sugars and flours, preservatives and other dangerous additives such as MSGs, the demand on the healthcare system would be greatly reduced because most people would be relatively healthy. The problem is, the mega industries built up around sickness and disease simply will not allow for cures and prevention. Today’s American ‘healthcare’ model tolerates only disease management so that once you get sick, you are a ‘customer’ for life. To actually cure anyone or God forbid to prevent a disease is simply not a formula for maintaining the profit margins and stock values of the Medical/Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex.

First and foremost, we should start taking care of our health so that we do not need any mainstream medical treatment. Beyond that, if the government healthcare takeover is not stopped, there is only one other alternative and that is to refuse to go along with any aspect of this expanding government intrusion. We must exercise our God-given Rights regardless of what the ‘government’ says or mandates. We must peacefully if possible, refuse to fill out their forms, refuse their vaccines, refuse their services, and simply refuse to go along with their one world government tyranny agenda any longer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Doctor's Letter to Senator Bayh
 
Senator Bayh,
 
As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.
 
I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens.

Page 126 Lines 22-25: Employers MUST pay for HC for part-time employees AND their families.  (Employees shouldn't get excited about this as employers will be forced to reduce its work force, benefits, and wages/salaries to cover such a huge expense.)

Page 341 Lines 3-9: The Govt has authority to disqualify Medicare Advance Plans, HMOs, etc.  (Forcing people into the Govt plan)
 
Page 354 Sec 1177: The Govt will RESTRICT enrollment of 'special needs people!'   Unbelievable!
 
Page 379 Sec 1191: The Govt creates more bureaucracy via a "Tele-Health Advisory Committee."  (Can you say HC by phone?)
 
Page 425 Lines 4-12: The Govt mandates "Advance-Care Planning Consult."  (Think senior citizens end-of-life patients.)
 
Page 425 Lines 17-19: The Govt will instruct and consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney, etc.  (And it's mandatory!)
Page 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3: The Govt provides an "approved" list of end-of-life resources; & nbsp;guiding you in death. (Also called 'assisted suicide.')

Page 489 Sec 1308: The Govt will cover marriage and family therapy.  (Which means Govt will insert itself into your marriage even.)

Page 494-498: Govt will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, and rationing those services.
   
Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to inform patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills you and your colleagues are debating.
 
Furthermore, if you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the country and destroys the doctor-patient relationship, I will do everything in my power to make sure you lose your job in the next election.
 
Respectfully,
 
Stephen E. Fraser, MD

Fighting Unlawful Forced Vaccinations

By Ben Taylor

We The People of America are not animals and should not permit ourselves to be herded as sheep by evil people and governmental agencies controlled by evil people. We have a God-given Right of self-determination over our lives and our health. No other ‘person’ and no government agency has any right to force us to be vaccinated with potentially dangerous drugs. There are mountains of evidence showing that, not only do vaccines not work, but actually cause outbreaks of disease they are supposed to prevent. The flu epidemics of 1918 were probably caused by vaccinations rather than naturally occurring flu outbreaks as have many others since then.

Vaccines also contain dangerous contaminates such as squalene that is probably responsible for much of the Gulf War/Desert Storm illnesses and syndromes experienced by more than two hundred fifty thousands of our soldiers as outlined in Gary Matsumoto’s book, “Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That’s Killing Our Soldiers and Why GIs Are Only The First Victims of This Vaccine”. Please go to http://pandemicfluonline.com and watch the video where the director of the CDC is interviewed by Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes. Many of our veterans suffer from dehabilitating incurable ailments as a result. The government lied and disseminated false information for years about this before grudgingly admitting the truth years later.

Rumors and credible insider leaks abound that this government is gearing up for mass forced vaccinations sometime in the near future and it is prudent to have a contingency plan in such an event. The government, hand in glove with their partners in crime, the drug companies will un-lease their massive propaganda machine and make it sound unreasonable and downright nutty not to ‘get your vaccination’. After all they will be saying that they are “from the government and we’re here to help you” and if you don’t get vaccinated you will endanger the lives of others. In my opinion, that will be a lie! This is where it gets difficult to deal with. ‘Big Brother’ usually uses low level government employees/’public servants’ at the local level to enforce their criminal actions, whether it be non-existent and non-constitutional tax ‘laws’ and the confiscation of private property for unpaid taxes of any kind. The vaccination programs may be no different.

Local government ‘officials’ are generally ignorant of the truth of the manipulation behind the scenes and simply do what they are instructed and are trained to do. They essentially park their critical thinking and their moral compass at the door of their ‘job’. If they encounter something they do not understand, they call another un-informed worker bee the next level up the food chain and then follow their instructions. As a perfect illustration, I recently filed a lawsuit in small claims court against a dentist who had pulled the wrong tooth; she extracted a perfectly good tooth and left a rotten wisdom tooth. The judge, rather than ruling as he is bound by ‘due course of law’ to do, called the state capital ‘hotline’ for judges and was instructed to dismiss my case if I didn’t have an ‘expert witness’. The catch is, it is near impossible to get one doctor to testify against another, except for the traveling ‘hired guns’ who do it for a living at a very high cost and certainly impractical for small claims court. The judge, who would be considered a good man in anybody’s book, then made himself party to a criminal act of violating a damaged party’s constitutionally secured right to redress under ‘due course of law’. The sad part is, this judge knew that he was doing wrong and apologized profusely, …but did it anyway.

This decent man and a generally fair and reasonable judge parked his common sense and moral compass at the door of his job and became the servant of an evil and corrupted system rather than doing what he knew was right. His general ignorance of “The Supreme Law of The Land and the guarantees it provides for redress of grievances caused him to harm a man with a legitimate grievance to an even greater degree than the damage caused by the dentist. Generally good and honest people are used by this ‘thing’ passing itself off as our ‘government’ to do its dirty work. The vaccination programs will be no different and that is the insidious nature of this beast which has raped and pillaged our God-given Rights stated by the Declaration of Independence and secured by the Constitutions and Organic Laws which are supposed to limit the authority and powers of government.

Remember, the guards at Auschwitz were only following orders and ignored any moral awareness or sense of responsibility for what they were doing. The point is, we must diligently and belligerently if necessary, assert our God-given Rights if we have any hope of retaining those Rights. Even then, some unknowing and unthinking low level government employee may be willing to commit a crime of enforcing a non-constitutional act of government. Many are afraid to ‘rock-the-boat’ and jeopardize their paychecks and their retirements. Others have been de-educated by the government controlled educational system and their ‘government training’ to the point of being devoid of any critical thinking ability.

So who do we trust when we already know unequivocally that government will use its massive propaganda machine against our own soldiers and that big business making billions from vaccines will spend millions hiding the truth? Ultimately we must keep an open mind and figure it out for ourselves, because almost anyone would be better than those who are already proven liars and manipulators. My rule of thumb has become, if the information comes from government or mainstream ‘medicine’ and the pharmaceutical industry, I immediately start looking for ‘other’ answers.

Let’s get back to vaccines. The first option is to refuse any vaccinations for you and your family, especially children and pregnant women, whether based on religious grounds or on your God-given right to make your own health choices. But in the event you feel that you will be threatened with job loss or bodily harm if you do not comply, then the protocol by my friend Dr. Ken O’Neal, ND (WHAT WOULD I DO IF  FORCED TO BE VACCINATED AGAINST MY CONSENT? ) may be the best recourse which you have. We have made links in Dr. Ken’s protocol to the products we sell, but there are other good sources, so use what you have and whatever is available. Good luck and God Bless.

Fighting Unlawful Forced Vaccinations

By Ben Taylor

We The People of America are not animals and should not permit ourselves to be herded as sheep by evil people and governmental agency controlled by evil people. We have a God-given Right of self-determination over our lives and our health. No other ‘person’ and no government agency has any right to force us to be vaccinated with potentially dangerous drugs. There are mountains of evidence showing that, not only do vaccines not work, but actually cause outbreaks of disease they are supposed to prevent. The flu epidemics of 1918 were probably caused by vaccinations rather than naturally occurring flu outbreaks as have many others since then. Vaccines also contain dangerous contaminations such as squalene that is probably responsible for much of the Gulf War/Desert Storm illnesses and syndromes experienced by hundreds of thousands of our soldiers. Many of our veterans suffer from dehabilitating incurable ailments as a result. The government lied and disseminated false information for years about this before grudgingly admitting the truth years later. So who do we trust when we already know unequivocally that government will use its massive propaganda machine against its own soldiers and that big business making billions from vaccines will spend millions hiding the truth. or science and common sense?

Rumors and credible insider leaks abound that this government is gearing up for mass forced vaccinations sometime in the near future and it is prudent to have a contingency plan in such an event. The government, hand in glove with their partners in crime, the drug companies will un-lease their massive propaganda machine and make it sound unreasonable and downright nutty not to ‘get your vaccination’. After all they will be saying that they are “from the government and we’re here to help you” and if you don’t get vaccinated you will endanger the lives of others. In my opinion, that will be a lie! This is where it gets difficult to deal with. ‘Big Brother’ usually uses low level government employees/’public servants’ at the local level to enforce their criminal actions, whether it be non-existent and non-constitutional tax ‘laws’ and the confiscation of private property for unpaid taxes of any kind. The vaccination programs may be no different.

Local government ‘officials’ are generally ignorant of the truth of the manipulation behind the scenes and simply do what they are instructed and are trained to do. They essentially park their critical thinking and their moral compass at the door of their ‘job’. If they encounter something they do not understand, they call another un-informed worker bee the next level up the food chain and then follow their instructions. As a perfect illustration, I recently filed a lawsuit in small claims court against a dentist who had pulled the wrong tooth; she extracted a perfectly good tooth and left a rotten wisdom tooth. The judge, rather than ruling as he is bound by ‘due course of law’ to do, called Austin and was instructed to dismiss my case if I didn’t have an ‘expert witness’. The catch is, it is near impossible to get one doctor to testify against another, except for the traveling ‘hired guns’ who do it for a living at a very high cost and certainly impractical for small claims court. The judge, who would be considered a good man in anybody’s book, then made himself party to a criminal act of violating a damaged party’s constitutionally secured right to redress under ‘due course of law’. The sad part is, this judge knew that he was doing wrong and apologized profusely, …but did it anyway.

This ‘good’ man parked his common sense and moral compass at the door of his job and became the servant of an evil and corrupted system rather than doing what he knew was right. Generally good and honest people are used by this ‘thing’ passing as ‘government’ to do its dirty work. The vaccination programs will be no different and that is the insidious nature of this beast that has raped and stolen our God-given Rights secured by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitutions that are supposed to limit the authority and power of government.

What Would I Do If  Forced To Be Vaccinated Against My Consent?

by Dr. Ken O’Neal, ND, MD

The principal difference in this Forced Vaccination Protocol from the Immune System Booster Protocol is the intensity and amounts of supplements taken for a shorter period,…say one week. If a vaccination were forced upon me or a family member, I would follow the suggested protocol below.

Forced Vaccination Protocol

This 7 day protocol would depend on how many days notice one has; for example:

1.       If I had two or three days of warning of a ‘forced vaccination’, I would immediately do a Therapeutic Liver Flush (see item 8) and also start taking Colloidal Silver in ¼ ounce servings every 4 hours for the first day. The second day, I would increase to ½ ounce servings every 4 hours. The third day, I would be consuming 1 ounce servings every 4 hours up until the time of vaccination. Immediately prior to the vaccination, I would consume 2- 8 ounces of silver, depending on body size. If the days of notice are reduced, I would simply eliminate the smaller quantities for the first days. (It is generally a good practice to consume Probiotics an hour or so after consuming larger quantities of silver to replenish the colon flora. Remember large quantities of silver may cause short-term flu-like symptoms (Herxheimer effect) or diarrhea. This generally lasts only a couple of days until the body is able to flush the bacterial or viral die-off caused by the silver. [Read “A Layman’s Guide to Using Colloidal Silver ”.]

2.       Have a cold pack or an ice pack with you (in an ice chest in your car) for everyone being forced to take a vaccination and apply it to the injection site immediately to stop or slow immune response. (Get to your ice packs immediately after vaccination, do not linger to talk or anything else. If a vaccination is being forced on you, do not agree to pay for it and do not sign any kind of release or consent form. If they are claiming the right to force a vaccination on you, then they do not need you to agree to it by your signature, do they? J)

3.       Take four ounces of Colloidal Silver orally immediately after the vaccination and continue 3 times daily 8 hours apart e.g. 8am, 2pm and 8pm for at least 7 days. If you have any lung symptoms also nebulize 5ml of silver with 1-3 drops of Lobelia 3 times a day for 7 days.

4.       Take full doses of IP6/Inositol ultra strength powder or Max 3 capsules twice daily in the morning and at bedtime on an empty stomach for 14-30 days.

5.       Take ten tablets/capsules of Oral Systemic Enzymes on an empty stomach 3 times daily, first thing in the morning, mid afternoon and just before bedtime for at least 7 days.

6.       Take 300mcg of a quality Selenium three times daily for at least 7 days.

7.       If you are unable to get at least 30 minutes of sunshine daily (without a shirt or in tee shirt and shorts) you may want to supplement with 500-1500 I.U. daily of  Vitamin D .

8.       Again, a Therapeutic Liver Flush using the 2 day protocol of Epsom Salts, olive oil and grapefruit juice should also be used early in this 7 day protocol. If that protocol is too much or not convenient for you (you must stay inactive and near a toilet for 1-1/2 days), a 14 Day Liver Cleanse condensed into 7 days is better than nothing. Even a normal healthy liver may be overtaxed after a vaccination and especially after using doing intensive body cleanses as suggested in this protocol.

9.       Eat nothing but fresh cantaloupe (organic if possible) for the first 24 hours after the vaccination; it is one of the better natural cellular cleansing foods.

10.   Get as much rest and sleep as possible and try to stay inactive for at least 3 days.

11.   Drink fresh squeezed lemonade diluted with a distilled or carbon filtered water morning and evening for the duration.

Notice: If you have a life or health threatening illness we suggest that you consult a healthcare professional who can become familiar with your health situation, preferably a qualified naturopathic doctor or one who has been trained in integrative medicine. We also encourage you to diligently research any information on our websites or in our newsletters to decide if you are in agreement with the opinions offered. All decisions made in the use of supplements is the sole responsibility of each individual.

All information offered herein is strictly opinion and is presented as an exercise of the God-given unalienable Right of free speech, as well as the right to help others, set forth in part by The Herbalist’s Charter. http://utopiasilver.com/legal_doc/healthcare-choice.htm

FTC Orders Daniel Chapter One to Lie to Customers About Cancer Remedies

by: Mike Adams

(NaturalNews) The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is at war with online retailers of nutritional supplements and natural remedies, but it recently lost a major battle: Lane Labs, which has suffered under FTC and FDA tyranny for years, recently won a significant battle against the corrupt agency. After the FTC tried to sue Lane Labs for $24 million, claiming "contempt of court" for the company telling the truth about the efficacy of its products, a federal judge ruled against the FTC, explaining that Lane Labs was telling the scientifically-validated truth about its products when it described their health benefits.

This defeat of the FTC's latest attempt to censor the truth about nutritional supplements is making waves in the nutrition industry. It signals a crack in the wall of FTC tyranny and a possible route for establishing Free Speech for nutritional supplement companies that only seek to tell the truth about their products.

In the world of truth-telling, no one speaks the truth about natural remedies more openly and honorably than a small company called Daniel Chapter One (www.DanielChapterOne.com), a religious ministry that also sells anti-cancer herbs, many of which are advocated in the Bible and other religious writings. Supported by a radio show and a website, Daniel Chapter One dares to tell people the truth about its natural remedies, even in the face of extreme intimidation and threats from the FTC.

The FTC is demanding that Daniel Chapter One lie to all its customers by signing and distributing a document claiming their natural cancer remedies do not work. That same document would also direct customers to the National Cancer Institute — a pro-Pharma government group engaged in widespread scientific fraud and public disinformation campaigns (the NCI runs ads warning people to avoid all sunlight, for example, promoting widespread vitamin D deficiencies).

Daniel Chapter One needs your support, and it's an organization worth fighting for. They are, in essence, taking point position on a very dangerous mission, working to break the FTC's iron grip and restore Free Speech rights to the entire industry. Although Jim and Trish have been threatened with imprisonment, having their products confiscated, having their ministry raided and shut down and being fined millions of dollars, they have held firm in their belief that telling the truth about medicinal herbs is their God-given right.

Today, Daniel Chapter One finds itself embattled against the federal government, standing virtually alone in an industry where most companies are too intimidated to stand up for their own rights. To help promote health freedom, they've launched another website called Daniel Chapter One Freedom (http://danielchapteronefreedom.com), and I encourage you to join their email newsletter on that site. Write your representatives in Washington, too, to insist that the FTC end their attempts to silence and intimidate not just Daniel Chapter One but other nutritional supplement companies as well.

The FTC's attack on Daniel Chapter One is more than just an assault on Free Speech, by the way: It's also an assault on religious freedom. The organization is a ministry, after all, but that hasn't stopped the FTC from threatening to imprison its founders.

Internal Memo Confirms Big Giveaways In White House Deal With Big Pharma

A memo obtained by the Huffington Post confirms that the White House and the pharmaceutical lobby secretly agreed to precisely the sort of wide-ranging deal that both parties have been denying over the past week.

The memo, which according to a knowledgeable health care lobbyist was prepared by a person directly involved in the negotiations, lists exactly what the White House gave up, and what it got in return.

It says the White House agreed to oppose any congressional efforts to use the government's leverage to bargain for lower drug prices or import drugs from Canada — and also agreed not to pursue Medicare rebates or shift some drugs from Medicare Part B to Medicare Part D, which would cost Big Pharma billions in reduced reimbursements.

In exchange, the Pharmaceutical Researchers and Manufacturers Association (PhRMA) agreed to cut $80 billion in projected costs to taxpayers and senior citizens over ten years. Or, as the memo says: "Commitment of up to $80 billion, but not more than $80 billion."

Representatives from both the White House and PhRMA, shown the outline, adamantly denied that it reflected reality. PhRMA senior vice president Ken Johnson said that the outline "is simply not accurate." "This memo isn't accurate and does not reflect the agreement with the drug companies," said White House spokesman Reid Cherlin.

Stories in the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times last week indicated that the administration was confirming that such a deal had been made.

Critics on Capitol Hill and online responded with outrage at the reports that Obama had gone behind their backs and sold the reform movement short. Furthermore, the deal seemed to be a betrayal of several promises made by then-Sen. Obama during the presidential campaign, among them that he would use the power of government to drive down the costs of drugs to Medicare and that negotiations would be conducted in the open.

And over the past several days, both the White House and PhRMA have offered a series of sometimes conflicting accounts of what happened in an attempt to walk back the story.

The White House meeting took place on July 7th, as first reported that evening in the Wall Street Journal. Also on the same day, a health care lobbyist following the talks was provided the outline of the deal by a person inside the negotiations. That outline had been floating around K Street before being obtained by the Huffington Post. In order to learn more about its origin, HuffPost agreed not to reveal the name of the lobbyist who originally received it.

"That is the PhRMA deal," said the lobbyist of the outline. He then clarified, "It was the PhRMA deal."

The deal, as outlined in the memo:

Commitment of up to $80 billion, but not more than $80 billion.

1. Agree to increase of Medicaid rebate from 15.1 – 23.1% ($34 billion)

2. Agree to get FOBs done (but no agreement on details — express disagreement on data exclusivity which both sides say does not affect the score of the legislation.) ($9 billion)

3. Sell drugs to patients in the donut hole at 50% discount ($25 billion)
This totals $68 billion

4. Companies will be assessed a tax or fee that will score at $12 billion. There was no agreement as to how or on what this tax/fee will be based.

Total: $80 billion

In exchange for these items, the White House agreed to:

1. Oppose importation

2. Oppose rebates in Medicare Part D

3. Oppose repeal of non-interference

4. Oppose opening Medicare Part B

"Non-interference" is the industry term for the status quo, in which government-driven price negotiations are barred. In other words, the government is "interfering" in the market if it negotiates lower prices. The ban on negotiating was led through Congress in 2003 by then-Rep. Billy Tauzin (R-La.), who is now the head of PhRMA.

The rebates reference is to Medicare overpayments Big Pharma managed to wrangle from the Republican Congress that Democrats are trying to recoup. The House bill would require Big Pharma to return some of that money. The rebate proposal would save $63 billion over ten years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The White House, given the chance, declined to tell the Wall Street Journal for a July 17th article that it supported the effort to pursue the rebates.

The Medicare Part B item refers to "infusion drugs," which can be administered at home. If they fall under Part B, Big Pharma gets paid more than under Part D. The agreement would leave infusion drugs in Part B.

In the section on Big Pharma's concessions, "FOBs" refers to follow-on biological drugs. Democrats have pushed to make it easier to allow generic drug makers to produce cheaper versions of such drugs, an effort Big Pharma has resisted. The Senate health committee bill gives drug makers 12 years of market exclusivity, five more than the White House proposed.

PhRMA's Johnson cast doubts on the provenance of the outline. "The memo, as described, is simply not accurate," he said in a statement. "Anyone could have written it. Unless it comes from our board of directors, it's not worth the paper it's written on. Clearly, someone is trying to short circuit our efforts to try and make health care reform a reality this year. That's not going to happen. Too much is at stake for both patients and the U.S. economy. Our new ads supporting health care reform are starting this week, and we are redoubling our efforts to drive awareness of why this issue is so important to America's future."

Johnson added that "no outside lobbyists — not a single one — were ever involved in our discussions with the Senate Finance Committee or the White House so someone is blowing smoke."

But the lobbyist who was given the outline defended its authenticity. And although the White House now says that drug price negotiations and reimportation were not actually discussed in the talks with PhRMA, the lobbyist said: "Well, that's bull — that's baloney. That was part of the deal, for them not to push that."

The new uncertainty surrounding the deal comes after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has repeatedly said that her chamber is not bound by any agreement it is not a party to. On July 8th, the day after the Journal reported some elements of the deal, Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) said in a public speech that his committee would not be tied down by the agreement.

Before recess, he followed through. His committee passed a bill that allowed for re-importation and drug-price negotiations.

In the Senate, Democrats Sherrod Brown (Ohio) and Byron Dorgan (N.D.) pressed White House officials at a closed-door meeting last week, asking whether the White House had tied the Senate's hands.

The health care lobbyist said that what deal still exists is uncertain, as a result of House pressure. "Now the White House is backing away from it, as you know, because of pressure from the House, because the House was not a party to the deal," he said. "The Speaker put enormous pressure on the White House, [saying], 'We weren't a party to it and we reserve the right to do whatever we want.' And which they did in the House Energy and Commerce Committee bill, which led the White House to say, 'Well, maybe it's not cast in concrete.'"

Obama is walking a tightrope here. He wants to keep PhRMA from opposing the bill, and benefits by having its support, which now includes a $150 million advertising campaign. That's a fortune in politics — more than Republican presidential candidate John McCain spent on advertising during his entire campaign — but it's loose change in the pharmaceutical business.

Opponents of the deal with PhRMA hope that Obama is playing a multilayered game, making a deal in order to keep the drug makers in his camp for now, but planning to double-cross them in the end if he needs to in order to pass his signature initiative.

Big Pharma, however, is still comfortable. "As far as the pharmaceutical industry, PhRMA and its member companies, yes, they say a deal is a deal. We'll see what happens," said the health care lobbyist.

Military to Deploy on U.S. Soil to “Assist” with Pandemic Outbreak

by Mike Adams

(NaturalNews) Until now, what I'm about to tell you would have been easily dismissed as a conspiracy theory. It's the kind of story that you might expect from some extreme fringe blogger… the kind of story that never appears in the mainstream media. Only today, it did. And it's not a conspiracy theory, either.

CNN is reporting this evening that the U.S. military is gearing up to get involved in the H1N1 swine flu outbreak widely expected to strike the U.S. this fall. As CNN reports, "The U.S. military wants to establish regional teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall, according to Defense Department officials." (http://edition.cnn.com/2009/US/07/2…)

When it comes to the U.S. military, the word "assist," of course, could mean almost anything. Typically, the U.S. military offers assistance at the end of a rifle. This "assistance" could mean assisting with quarantines, assisting with rounding up infected people or assisting with arresting and imprisoning people who resist vaccine shots.

Just to make it even more interesting, this operation will include "personnel from all branches of the military" and it will involve cooperation with FEMA — the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA is the group of geniuses who handled the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. They're the ones who confiscated firearms from law-abiding citizens defending their own homes, then thrust people into toxic temporary housing that caused neurological symptoms and breathing problems.

Internationally, FEMA is known as the Federal Emergency Laughing Stock Administration. But now, with H1N1 swine flu, FEMA will be backed by the power of highly-trained, heavily-armed military personnel.

Imagine one possible future in America…

There's a knock on your door. A peek through the window reveals two young soldiers in urban camo fatigues gripping M16 rifles slung across their chests. In front of them, an official-looking doctor person sports an N95 mask and carries a clipboard thick with ruffled papers.

Knock knock. "Is anyone home?"

One of the soldiers catches a glimpse of you peering through a sliver of curtain covering the living room window. "I've got movement." He tightens his grip on his rifle and elbows the soldier next to him. "Someone's home. Knock again."

Knock KNOCK. "We're here from the pandemic response team," insists the doc. "We're here to help. Open up or we'll be forced to come in."

Reluctantly, you inch towards the door and grip the doorknob with damp, sweaty hands. Your pulse pounds hard as you crack open the door.

But the doctor isn't in front of your door anymore. It's one of the soldiers — the larger one — and he wedges his foot between your door and its frame, prying it open and forcing his intimidating self into your doorway. "We're with FEMA. Please step away from the door."

"Our records show you haven't received the swine flu vaccine yet," squeaks the doctor from behind the bulk of the domineering soldier now squarely positioned in front of you. "We're here to administer your vaccine."

"I don't want a vaccine," you protest. "They're not safe."

The soldier chuckles, blurts out, "They're as safe as the U.S. government says they are."

The doctor peers out from behind his military companion and makes eye contact. "Sir, as you well know, vaccines have been required for all U.S. residents since President Obama's emergency pandemic declaration last month. Please extend your arm and we'll be on our way."

He produces a syringe and stabs it into a half-filled vaccine cylinder. As he pulls the plunger and liquid races into the syringe, you realize you have mere moments to make a decision. Will you willingly accept the vaccine and avoid being beaten, arrested or shot by the two armed enforcers at your door, or will you resist and pay the consequences?

"Please extend your arm now," the doctor says. The military grunt clenches his jaw, eyeing your hesitation with obvious scorn. He fingers the safety on his rifle and clears his throat…

… what will your choice be?

We're only here to help

That scenario might seem like fiction now, but it could unfold in America in the next few months. What seems outlandish today could become a police state reality before Christmas.

But this is no joke. These people are serious. Even the words tell too much: The order to approve all this is about to be signed by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and it's called an "execution order."

So what, exactly, would military personnel be doing in your neighborhood in the event of a swine flu outbreak? The CNN story says they could assist with the "…testing of large numbers of viral samples from infected patients." There's nothing in the story about rounding people up, maintaining quarantine road blocks or cremating the infected bodies of the dead. These realities of a pandemic outbreak are better left unsaid if you're the U.S. military (or the mainstream media).

That's why the full story of what the U.S. military is planning for will never be told to the masses. It's too disturbing. But make no mistake: The military is planning for a worst-case scenario (that's what the military does), and a worst-case pandemic outbreak scenario would involve gunpoint-enforced isolation, military-enforced quarantine zones and most likely the forced vaccination of nearly everyone. Those who resist the vaccinations would be arrested (or detained) and injected at gunpoint, then set free back into the population.

Hollywood has already imagined some of what might happen in such a scenario. Rent the movie The Siege (Bruce Willis and Denzel Washington) to catch an imaginative glimpse of how the U.S. military might handle things in an "emergency situation." It's not a documentary, of course, but much of what it presents seems strangely on track with what's shaping up if a pandemic outbreak occurs.

The very fact that the military is now leaking this story to CNN says something all by itself: The U.S. military is preparing to be stationed on U.S. soil, and whatever freedoms you mistakenly think are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution will be long gone by the time the soldiers arrive at your door.

What’s Really in Obama’s Health Care Reform Bill

by Mike Adams

(NaturalNews) Mrs. Bouchard seemed upset.
"I can't afford health care as yet."
The new health reform bill
Made her sickly and ill
"But I'd rather have cancer than debt!"

What's really in Obama's health care reform bill? Almost no one knows, and here's why: It's 1,017 pages long and written in an alien form of bureaucratic English that can barely be decoded by earthlings.

And yet, astonishingly, a U.S. Army translator has been found who speaks "Washington Doublespeak" and he was kind enough to decode the bill and post his plain-language findings over at FreeRepublic.com (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f…).

Below, we reprint what he found in the health care reform bill. As you read this, keep in mind that some of these translations are a bit loose with the interpretations, but I've personally spot-checked these points, and they are indeed all contained in the bill in one form or another (shrouded in Doublespeak language, of course).

Editor's note: I don't personally agree with every interpretation listed here, and some of the bill's provisions are actually good ideas (like banning doctors from owning stock in health care companies). But overall, this interpretation points out many alarming provisions in the proposed health care reform bill…

From CMS at FreeRepublic.com:

• Page 16: States that if you have insurance at the time of the bill becoming law and change, you will be required to take a similar plan. If that is not available, you will be required to take the government option!
• Page 22: Mandates audits of all employers that self-insure!
• Page 29: Admission: your health care will be rationed!
• Page 30: A government committee will decide what treatments and benefits you get (and, unlike an insurer, there will be no appeals process)

Codex Threatens Health of Billions

by Barbara Minton

(NaturalNews) Your right to eat healthy food and use supplements of your choice is rapidly vanishing, but every effort has been made to keep you in the dark about the coming nutricide. Codex Alimentarius is scheduled for full global implementation on December 31, 2009, and not a word has been spoken in main stream media about this threat to humanity. Yet, according to the projections based on figures from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a minimum of 3 billion people will die from the Codex mandated vitamin and mineral guideline alone.


Former Nazi is father of contemporary Codex

Codex is the enemy of everyone except those who will profit from it. Codex has an association with those who committed crimes during the Nazi regime. At the end of World War II, the Nuremberg tribunal judged Nazis who had committed horrendous crimes against humanity and sentenced them to prison terms. One of those found guilty was the president of the megalithic corporation I.G. Farben, Hermann Schmitz. His company was the largest chemical manufacturing enterprise in the world, and had extraordinary political and economic power and influence with the Hitlerian Nazi state. Farben produced the gas used in the Nazi gas chambers, and the steel for the railroads built to transport people to their deaths.

While serving his prison term, Schmitz looked for an alternative to brute force for controlling people and realized that people could be controlled through their food supply. When he got out of prison, he went to his friends at the United Nations (UN) and laid out a plan to take over the control of food worldwide. A trade commission called Codex Alimentarius (Latin for food code) was re-created under the guise of it being a consumer protection commission. But Codex was never in the business of protecting people. It has always been about money and profits at the expense of people.

In 1962, the timetable was set for Codex to be fully implemented on a global level by December 31, 2009. Under Codex, committees were established to create guidelines on such topics as fish and fisheries, fats and oils, fruits and vegetables, ground nuts, nutrition, food for specialized uses, and vitamins and minerals. There were 27 committees in all, creating a huge bureaucracy. Under Codex there are over 4,000 guidelines and regulations on everything that can be put into your mouth with the exception of pharmaceuticals which are not regulated by Codex.

Codex is a weapon being used to reduce the level of nutrition worldwide

Codex is an industry dominated regulation setting organization, and as such has no legal standing. Participation in Codex is said to be voluntary. But Codex has risen to the level of de facto legal standing because Codex is administered by the WHO and FAO. They fund it and run it at the request of the UN. Since the WHO and FAO are supposed to be about health, there is conflict of interest. The committees of Codex work up guidelines, rules and regulations, and present them to a Codex commission for ratification. Once they are ratified and approved by consensus, they become mandatory standards for any country that is a member of the WHO.

Codex was accepted when the WTO was formed in 1994 as a means of harmonizing food standards globally for easy trade between countries. As a result, countries must harmonize with Codex if they want to have any standing in a trade dispute. When disputes arise and countries are pulled in to WTO, the one that is Codex compliant automatically wins, regardless of the merits of its case.

Codex has become a weapon to make every nation scurry to become compliant to its mandated decline in nutritional standards. Compliance in the U.S. will mark the end of its consumer protection laws. Codex will not serve consumers. Codex will serve the interests of the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, and big agricultural industries.

Under Codex, nutrients are classified as poisons

The Dietary Substances Health and Education Act (DSHEA), was signed into law in 1994 for the purpose of ensuring that safe and appropriately labeled products would remain available to those who wanted to use them. In the findings associated with this law, Congress stated that there may be a positive relationship between sound dietary practice and good health, and a connection between dietary supplement use, reduced health-care expenses, and disease prevention. Under DSHEA, nutrients and herbs are classified as food. There is no upper limit set, and access is freely given. Americans are allowed to have any nutrients they want, because under English common law, anything that is not expressly forbidden is permitted.

Codex, on the other hand, is based on Napoleonic law and is much more restrictive. In 1994, the same year DSHEA was signed, Codex had nutrients declared to be toxic and poisonous. And as poisons, they claimed people must be protected from them through the use of toxicology and risk assessment, under which scientists test small doses on animals until they are able to discern an impact. They then take the first sign of the most minimal impact and divide this amount by 100 to establish a safety margin required from these poisons. This means that the largest dose of any nutrient allowed under Codex is 1/100th of the amount shown to produce the first discernable impact.

Nutrients allowed under Codex are limited to those on the positive list, expected to contain only 18 nutrients, one of them being fluoride. Although fluoride has no biological benefit whatsoever, it does make people complacent.

The Codex proponents now have several bills before Congress designed to overturn and get rid of DSHEA. Once this is accomplished, the U.S. will have been harmonized with the vitamin and mineral guidelines of codex. High potency, therapeutically effective, significant nutrients will then be illegal in the way that heroin is illegal. They will not even be available by prescription.

Codex supports toxic food additives, pesticides and GM foods

Codex poses a significant threat to the food supply, according to Dr. Robert Verkerk, founder and director of the Alliance for Natural Health. About 300 dangerous food additives that are mainly synthetic will be allowed under Codex, including aspartame, BHA, BHT, potassium bromate, tartrazine, and more. Dr. Verkerk is particularly concerned that no consideration has been given to potential risks associated with long-term exposure to mixtures of additives.

Codex sets limits for the dangerous industrial chemicals that can be used in food, but they are incredibly high, and the list of chemicals that can be used is long. In 2001, 176 countries including the U.S. got together and decided that 12 highly toxic organic chemicals, known as persistent organic pollutants (POPS), were so bad that they had to be banned. There are many more than 12 toxic chemicals used on food, but these 12 were unanimously declared to be the worst. Of these, 9 are pesticides.

Under Codex, 7 of the 9 forbidden POPS will again be allowed in the production of food. All together, Codex allows over 3,275 different pesticides, including those that are suspected carcinogens or endocrine disrupters. There is no consideration of the long-term effects of exposure to mixtures of pesticide residues in food.

Organic food governance will be dumbed down to suit the interests of large food producers. Various synthetic chemical additives and processing aids will be allowed, and food labeled as organic may be irradiated. Labeling will permit the use of hidden, non-organic ingredients.

Monsanto, a member of Codex, will benefit greatly as production of genetically modified (GM) foods are stepped up and more GM plants are given the green light. Terminator seeds will be approved for international trade. GM food animals will also be on the way.

Under Codex, every dairy animal can be treated with growth hormone, and all animals in the food chain will be treated with sub-clinical levels of antibiotics. Codex will lead to the required irradiation of all foods with the exception of those grown locally and sold raw.

Codex is food regulations that are in fact the legalization of mandated toxicity and under-nutrition. Of the 3 billion people initially expected to die as the result of the Codex vitamin and mineral guidelines, 2 billion of them will die from the preventable diseases that result from under-nutrition, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and many others. Those who will live will be the wealthy elites who are able to somehow provide themselves with sources of clean food and other nutrients.

Codex is legalized genocide

Dr. Gregory Damato, Ph.D., writing for Natural News, has characterized Codex as "population control for money". He sees Codex as run by the U.S. and controlled by the big pharmaceutical corporations and the likes of Monsanto with the purpose of reducing the population of the world to a level considered sustainable by those promulgating the New World Order. This would mean a reduction of approximately 93 percent of the current world population.

Once Codex standards are adopted there will be no turning back. When Codex compliance is instigated in any area, as long as the country remains a member of the WTO, those standards cannot be repealed, or altered in any way.

The time for modifying Codex guidelines is rapidly disappearing

Some hope remains. Over the years, the WTO has accepted Codex standards as presumptive evidence of the rules of trade between countries. However, several times in history, the WTO has refused to make Codex the single and only standard to be used in trade disputes. Under Codex`s own statutes, their guidelines are claimed to be "advisory", and nations are able to set up their own guidelines as long as they are more restrictive than those of Codex.

Since compliance with Codex standards is simply presumptive evidence, and not finally determinative, a nation can opt out of the guidelines in an effort to protect its traditional foods and remedies. The Codex two step process is a legal strategy developed to help nations wanting to do this. Under step one, the country develops its own food and health guidelines that may be at variance with Codex guidelines. For example, it may be much stricter on the issues of toxins in the food supply or on the issue of genetically modified foods. It may require, for example, that companies using GM ingredients be required to indicate them on food labels. In countries that refuse to use GM foods, this can be indicated on their label too, so that people can make informed choices. The second step is to adopt a national law that implements those guidelines on a sound scientific basis.

Normally, in a trade dispute before the WTO, the country that has adopted Codex guidelines will be the winner of that dispute based on those guidelines being presumptive evidence. However, when countries have gone through the two step process to create their own guidelines, there is no such presumption, and the WTO will look at the science behind the guidelines.

In the U.S. the door is open to Codex

In 1995, the FDA issued a policy statement saying that international standards such as Codex would supersede U.S. laws governing all food. Under the Central American Free Trade Agreement, which is illegal under current U.S. law, but is legal under international law, the U.S. is required to conform to Codex as it stands on December 31, 2009, unless it creates its own guidelines and gets them approved under the two step process. Given current government sentiment, this seems unlikely. Besides, as guidelines are one-by-one chiseled into standards, time is running out.
