Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 B Sat, 30 Apr 2005 15:04:38 -0700 (PDT) CAFTA vote fasttracked to May-----What it means to health freedom I've taken the liberty of attaching Inge's comment from another email because it is SO very appropriate here. Also Canada pay attention--if we wind up with either a Liberal or Conservative majority gov't we will not have a snowball's chance in hell of saving our sovereignty in this or any other area. **************************** Inge's Added Comment: CODEX and the WAR on Supplements is a MONOPOLY GRAB by the international chemical and pharmaceutical companies that has no basis in science or health - but which is designed to permanently wipe from the marketplace any competition to their drugs and chemicals. Healthy people who make their own decisions, take care of themselves, and do not want or need their DRUGS or chemicals are ' bad for business' and thus are totally unacceptable concept FOR THEM. Every measure of Self-sufficiency, leading to a people being able to live without passing through THEIR revolving 'economic' doors is being destroyed. Over many years, they have been able to place THEIR people into government bureaucracies, onto government committees and advisory boards, and THEIR MONEY has subverted the electoral process by 'buying and placing' politicians who willingly do their bidding. The system has been corrupted from top to bottom. This is a WAR on HEALTH - this is a TRADE WAR - this a BATTLE for MARKET MONOPOLY. These policies run totally counter to the concepts of competitive markets and contradict established medical research. WE have allowed OUR governments to be run by Big Corporate interests because they operated in secret and with stealth, while WE were asleep at the switch. We MUST take back OUR GOVERNMENT and control the laws and regulations that are passed into law - and will control us. When government is run by and for Big Corp's vested interests, it destroys the people and the environment. (Look at Argentina for the most recent classic example.) Please also note that, at the same time as efficacious supplements are 'being disappeared', laws are being passed that give free reign to pesticides, heavy metal pollutants, chemical additives to food, food irradiation, and a 'forced adopting' of unsafe, patented, Genetically Engineered food-staple crops. REAL SCIENCE is 'out the window' and TRADE MONOPOLIES and PROFIT POTENTIAL are the dominant criteria that determine the direction - leading to " health destruction' and 'sickness management'. If ever there was a time for EVERY CITIZEN to take a stand for his/her OWN SURVIVAL, the time is NOW. The alternative is to live as an economic pawn and slave of BIG CORP, especially Big Pharma. The NEW WORLD ORDER is a world government OF Monopoly Corporations, BY Monopoly Corporations, FOR Monopoly Corporations. It is a world in which the free competitive marketplace would be totally destroyed, and replaced by strict market manipulations and determinations by the Association of Big Corporations, better known as the " WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION " . By what right or rational does a trade association determine medical and health policies? Through the FACADE of " regulations for our protection " , we are being returned to a world of slavery and feudalism. If they get their way, NO ONE WILL BUY or SELL anything WITHOUT THE PERMISSION of this Corporate Beast. Understand what is happening, and TAKE A STAND!!! The alternative is unthinkable and untenable. This is a serious WAR - and it can't be won if we are not ALL prepared to FIGHT, and FIGHT HARD - until we win back our Birthright to determine our own lives and to protect our own health. i.h. --\ -- SAVE OUR SUPPLEMENTS!! NO TO CAFTA/FTAA!! US Dietary Supplement Laws Threatened By Globalization!! Consumer access to dietary supplements in the USA is being threatened by illegal FDA actions at the UN Codex Alimentarius Commission where the FDA has been working hard to create a mindlessly restrictive global trade standard for vitamins and minerals. At the 28th General Session of the UN's Codex Alimentarius Commission between July 4-9th 2005, barring a miracle, a very restrictive global trade standard for vitamins and minerals will be ratified. Codex standards can be imposed on the USA via membership in the WTO and via regional harmonization through an expansion of NAFTA via CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement) and FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas). These trade agreements threaten to force the USA into a hemispheric equivalent to the European Union. WHY THIS IS NOT GOOD: In the UK, despite over a million signatures on petitions gathered in British health food stores opposing harmonization of UK vitamin law to a mindlessly restrictive EU Food Supplement Directive, the UK government told consumers " we don't care HOW MANY signatures you get on your petition, the UK is a member of the EU, and we're harmonizing to EU law, whether you like it or not!!! " The SAME THING will happen in the US (and Canada) unless we KILL CAFTA which is scheduled for a FAST TRACK VOTE in MAY. CAFTA would plunge us down the slippery slope to the FTAA which threatens to harmonize (make the same) all laws from the Artic Circle to Tierra Del Fuego. More than just our dietary supplement laws are being threatened here. CAFTA and FTAA threaten the destruction of thousands of American jobs as they'd be outsourced to the third world where there is much cheaper labor just as happened via NAFTA, only this would be MUCH WORSE. CAFTA/FTAA threaten to totally DESTROY our country, this is a direct attack on our sovereignty, but we CAN STOP IT!! WHAT TO DO: Send the form letter against CAFTA to your Senators and Congressmen from these two websites: http://www.stoptheftaa.org/ and http://www.citizen.org/trade/cafta/ You can learn much more about this threat at both of these sites, which between them cover the whole political spectrum.
