THE SINISTER TRUTH BEHIND OPERATION CURE.ALL

 

 

by Ruth James

 

 

What's really behind Operation Cure.All? Is it just the FDA and FTC taking

their power too far? Or is there a deeper, more sinister purpose to this

campaign?

 

How could a country that prides itself in its freedom of speech, freedom of

choice, and freedom of information be facing such severe restrictions in health

freedom and dietary supplements? Haven't the people made their will known?

Didn't our government pass the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act of 1994

to insure our right to health supplements?

 

Indeed, our government did. But the FDA and FTC have found ways to get around

that. The laws put in place to protect us are being ignored. And what's worse,

is that those laws are about to be superceded, if the powers that be have their

way.

 

OPERATION CURE.ALL IS JUST ONE MEANS TO AN END

 

You see, Operation Cure.All is just a tactic, a vehicle, in a much bigger

overall plan. It is a result of " Codex Alimentarius " (meaning food code) -- a

set of regulations that aim to outlaw any health information in connection with

vitamins and limit free access to natural therapies on a worldwide scale.

 

WHAT'S BEHIND CODEX?

 

Behind the Codex Alimentarius Commission is the United Nations and the World

Health Organization working in conjunction with the multinational pharmaceutical

cartel and international banks. Its initial efforts in the US with the FDA were

defeated, so it found another ally in the FTC. Now Codex, with the FTC and the

pharmaceutical cartel behind it, it threatens to become a trade issue, using the

campaign of Operation Cure.All to advance its goals.

 

Codex began simply enough when the U.N. authorized the World Health Organization

and the Food and Agriculture Organization todevelop a universal food code.

Their purpose was to 'harmonize' regulations for dietary supplements worldwide

and set international safety standards for the purposes of increased trade.

Standardize labeling and regulatory requirements between countries to facilitate

increased international trade. Pharmaceutical interests stepped in and began

exerting their influence. Instead of focusing on food safety, Codex is using

its power to promote worldwide restrictions on vitamins and food supplements,

severely limiting their availability and dosages.

 

REAL GOALS OF CODEX

 

This is to bring about international 'harmonization.' While global harmony

sounds benign, is that the real purpose of this plan? While the stated goal of

Codex is to establish unilateral regulations for dietary supplements in every

country, the actual goal is to outlaw health products and information on

vitamins and dietary supplements, except those under their direct control.

These regulations would supercede United States domestic laws without the

American people's voice or vote in the matter.

 

HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE?

 

Americans gasp at the thought. It goes against everything America stands for.

Many believe this can't be possible. The truth is, it's not only possible, it's

required by the Codex agreement.

 

In fact, under the terms of the Uruguay Round of GATT, which created the World

Trade Organization, the United States agreed to harmonize its domestic laws to

the international standards. This includes standards for dietary supplements

being developed by the United Nation's Codex Alimentarius Commission's Committee

on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Use.

 

The Uruguay Round Agreements carry explicit language clearly indicating that the

U.S. must harmonize to international standards:

 

" Members are fully responsible under this Agreement for the observance of all

provisions.... members shall formulate andimplement positive measures and

mechanisms in support of the observance of the provisions.... by other than

central government bodies. " [WTO TBT Agreement at Article 3.5] "

 

In other words, the federal government must NOT ONLY CHANGE FEDERAL LAW, but

must ALSO require state and local governments to change their laws as well to be

in accordance with international law.

 

Not only that, but Codex is now enforceable through the World Trade Organization

(WTO). If a country disagrees with or refuses to follow Codex standards, the

WTO applies pressure by withdrawing trade privileges and imposing crippling

trade sanctions. Congress has already bowed to this pressure several times and

so have the governments of many countries.

 

While the exemption clause (USC 3512(a)(1) and (a)(2) was created to supposedly

protect our laws from harmonization to international standards, it has proven to

be totally ineffective. The United States has already lost seven trade disputes

despite the exemption clause. Due to the enormous pressures put on them by

lobbyists from multinational corporations (who contribute millions to

congressional campaigns), Congress bowed to pressure and changed U.S. laws.

 

It appears our government is being manipulated one way or another to serve the

goals of the UN, the World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization.

Food control equals people control -- and population control. Is this beginning

to sound like world government and one-world order?Could this be the real goal

behind Codex?

 

The United States, Canada, the Europeans, Japan, most of Asia,and South America

have already signed agreements pledging total harmonization of their laws

including food and drug laws to these international standards in the future.

 

WHAT CODEX WILL BRING

 

What can we expect under Codex? To give you an idea, here are some important

points:

 

- Dietary supplements could not be sold for preventive (prophylactic) or

therapeutic use.

- Potencies would be limited to extremely low dosages. Only the drug companies

and the big phytopharmaceutical companies would have the right to produce and

sell the higher potency products (at inflated prices).

 

- Prescriptions would be required for anything above the extremely low doses

allowed (such as 35 mg. on niacin).

 

- Common foods such as garlic and peppermint would be classified as drugs or a

third category (neither food nor drugs) that only big pharmaceutical companies

could regulate and sell. Any food with any therapeutic effect can be considered

a drug, even benign everyday substances like water.

 

 

- Codex regulations for dietary supplements would become binding (escape clauses

would be eliminated).

 

- All new dietary supplements would be banned unless they go through Codex

testing and approval.

 

- Genetically altered food would be sold worldwide without labeling.

 

According to John Hammell, a legislative advocate and the founder of

International Advocates for Health Freedom (IAHF), here is what we have to look

forward to:

 

" If Codex Alimentarius has its way, then herbs, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic

remedies, amino acids and other natural remedies you have taken for granted most

of your life will be gone. The name of the game for Codex is to shift all

remedies into the prescription category so they can be controlled exclusively by

the medical monopoly and its bosses, the major pharmaceutical firms.

Predictably, this scenario has been denied by both the Canadian Health Food

Association and the Health Protection Branch of Canada (HPB).

 

The Codex proposals already exist as law in Norway and Germany where the entire

health food industry has literally been taken over by the drug companies. In

these countries, vitamin C above 200 mg is illegal as is vitamin E above 45 IU,

vitamin B1 over 2.4 mg and so on. Shering-Plough, the Norway pharmaceutical

giant, now controls an echinacea tincture, which is being sold there as an over

the counter drug at grossly inflated prices. The same is true of ginkgo and many

other herbs, and only one government controlled pharmacy has the right to import

supplements as medicines which they can sell to health food stores, convenience

stores or pharmacies. "

 

It is now a criminal offence in parts of Europe to sell herbs as foods. An

agreement called EEC6565 equates selling herbs as foods to selling other illegal

drugs. Action is being taken to accelerate other European countries into

'harmonization' as well.

 

Paul Hellyer in his book, " The Evil Empire, " states: " Codex is supported by

international banks and multinational corporations including some in Canada, and

is in reality a bill of rights for these banks and the corporations they

control. It will hand over our sovereign rights concerning who may or may not

invest in our countries to an unelected world organization run by big business.

The treaty would make it impossible for Canadian legislators either federal or

provincial to alter or improve environmental standards for fear of being sued by

multinational corporations whether operating in Canada or not.

 

This will create a world without borders ruled by a virtual dictatorship of the

world's most powerful central banks and multinational companies. This world is

an absolute certainty if we all sit on our hands and do nothing. "

 

This is the future the FDA and FTC are striving to bring us via Codex

harmonization. Is this a future we are going to willingly accept or prevent?

 

WHY TARGET THE INTERNET?

 

It is no accident that the FDA and FTC are targeting internet health sites

through Operation Cure.All. We are standing in the doorway of an unprecedented

revolution -- the information revolution brought about by the Internet.

 

Now all people everywhere have the ability to learn about anything that

interests them with just a few clicks. History has shown that informed,

educated people change civilizations -- they change the flow of thought and they

change the flow of money. They can even change the direction of a country. When

similar transitions have happened in the past, the powers that existed did not

give up willingly. The Catholic Church fiercelyprotected its practice of

selling 'indulgences' as a forgiveness of sin. When the practice was abolished,

the Catholic Church lost a great deal of power and money.

 

When the printing press was invented, books were banned and printers were

imprisoned by the authorities, who feared an educated public could not be

governed. In the same way, the medical monopoly (and the UN) now fears that a

public educated in health and privy to the shortcomings of modern medicine could

not be controlled. Loss of control means loss of revenue and loss of power.

And they are doing everything they can to stop progress so they can contain

their losses and strengthen their power.

 

The printing press changed the world. Can you imagine what life would be like

today if the book banners had their way? But because the printing press won

out, society progressed and freedom was embraced. The internet is changing the

world in an equally significant way. While the entire internet can hardly be

suppressed, the pharma-cartels and their backers are looking to protect their

interests by restricting as much information as they can on the internet.

 

Will we, the people, win out again -- or will the UN and theWorld Health

Organization agenda and the pharmaceutical cartel change the course of history

and take us back to the " dark ages " of medicine?

 

WHAT CAN WE DO?

 

Step number one is learn as much as possible about this issue. Here are some

websites where you will find a great deal of information:

Signing petitions is fine, but not nearly as effective as writing to your

congressmen and congresswomen. Write to them insisting we hold a PROPER

Oversight Hearing on Codex. An oversite hearing was held in March, but the

truth was not allowed to come out. Witness who could have exposed what was

going on, and who wanted to testify, were denied the opportunity to testify.

Congress is strongly resisting another Codex hearing, telling their constituents

it is not necessary. This could not be further from the truth.

CTM Comment: Codex is of course the single most virulent assault on human

freedoms in recent times. The desire to control of vitamins, minerals, herbs and

other nutritional factors has ironically come about as a result of the inability

of orthodox medicine to destroy the practice of the public practising health

without drugs. Now government and the chemical industry will seek to control and

profit from that which was available directly to the public in times gone by.

 

Overturning the Codex by a mass public backlash is CTM’s sworn goal. This can be

accomplished only with large numbers of the public all committed to this

endeavour. As the above article states, the Internet itself has been able to

grant access to information freely to anyone seeking it, and this has

destabilised the flow of money and profits to institutions which have

traditionally believed their highly lucrative monopolies to be safe. There can

be no more pressing reason to join the Campaign for Truth in Medicine for FREE

than to assist us in pressuring for the scrapping of Codex. Do you know other

members of your family or friends who will be willing to join? Have them visit
