IAHF---NEW DOCUMENTARY ON CODEX ON THE WEB _NOW_---crucial

CAFTA vote tomorrow

 

 

 

 

IAHF List: Senate Finance Committee votes tomorrow on CAFTA, House

Ways &

Means Committee votes Thursday----- Votes on Floor of House & Senate

could be

delayed til after July 4 recess--- please take action per instructions

below

 

 

PLEASE WATCH NEW DOCUMENTARY ON CODEX ON THE WEB _NOW_!!!!

 

Watch Kevin Miller's superbly done documentary " WE BECOME SILENT "

which exposes

the immense dangers of so called " Free Trade " and CODEX

 

http://www.welltv.com/WBS-Video.html

 

" We Become Silent " is narrated by well known British actress Dame Judi

Dench.

 

I was interviewed in it along with numerous other health freedom

activists

including

Julian Whitaker, MD; Scott Tips, JD; Carolyn Dean, MD; Joe Bassett and

many

others. There is footage from health freedom demonstrations all over

the world,

and Kevin Miller has really outdone himself- this is a work of pure

mastery-

he'll undoubtedly win awards for this documentary just as he did in

'94 when he won

the gold medal at the NY Film Festival for " Let Truth Be the Bias " .

 

Kevin showed some of the footage I shot inside the Codex meeting in

Berlin in

'98 which got me kicked off the US Codex Delegation in 2000 due to my

efforts to

put Yetley under congressional scrutiny, and he included the footage I

shot

when I got in her face at a pre meeting of the US Delegation in '98

when she

clearly indicated her intention to ignore the will of congress and the

will of the

people as FDA was, and is, setting us up for harmonization to

restrictive codex

standards.

 

Please show this documentary to everyone you know: especially to

sleeping ceos

of vitamin companies who have been lied to on this issue by the pharma

dominated vitamin trade associations.

 

I'm going to be putting the documentary on the IAHF website, its going

on to

the Coalition for Health Freedom's website, and its also going on to the

Glycommunity website, the ANH website and others ASAP because time is

of the essence.

 

As I told you earlier today in this alert

http://www.ymlp.com/controlpanel/archive_showmessage.php?PHPSESSID=faae449a4c31b\

a5583a79b927e645d66 & id=350

 

the Senate Finance Committee has delayed the vote on CAFTA til

tomorrow. We

must oppose it. The House Ways and Means Committee will deliberate

CAFTA on

Thursday, so they must now be called as well. Follow same phone script

as in my last

mssg only with House Ways and Means Committee also- see their members at

http://waysandmeans.house.gov/members.asp?cong=17

 

This could delay a move to the floor of either the House or Senate til

After

the July 4th recess, but we can't be sure of that because they could

spring

anything on us in the wee hours of the morning Friday night or very

early Saturday

morning- they've been known to do stuff like that on controversial

measures like

this.

 

Do you need the vitamins you take?

 

If you do, PLEASE TAKE ACTION!!! PLEASE FORWARD THIS ALERT & ENCOURAGE

EVERYONE

TO WATCH KEVIN MILLER's DOCUMENTARY " WE BECOME SILENT " & ENCOURAGE

THEM TO JOIN

WITH YOU AND _ACT_!!

 

HERE IS THE PHONE SCRIPT TO USE WHEN YOU CALL THE SENATE FINANCE

COMMITTEE &

THE HOUSE WAYS & MEANS COMMITTEE as well as your OWN Senators and

Congressmen if

different:

 

WHAT TO TELL 'EM WHEN YOU CALL:

 

" I'm a dietary supplement consumer, and I am very concerned about

language

buried inside of CAFTA and FTAA which broadens and deepens the scope

of the WTO's

SPS (Sanitary Phytosanitary Measures) Agreement.

 

Article 3 of the SPS in the WTO Agreement reads " To harmonize sanitary

and

phytosanitary measures on as wide a basis as possible, Members SHALL

base their

food safety measures on international standards, guidelines or

recommendations. "

 

This threatens to force harmonization of the Dietary Supplement Health

and

Education Act of 1994 to mindlessly restrictive UN Codex standards

which would

block my access to vitamins and minerals within the therapeutic range,

for

starters, then other dietary supplements as Codex expands.

 

It is evident to me from the book INTEGRATING THE AMERICAS- THE FTAA &

BEYOND

by the Rockefeller Foundation that this effort to expand NAFTA

throughout our

hemisphere poses as much of a threat to our national sovereignty as

the EU

currently does to the sovereignty of each of its member countries.

 

From a fiscal standpoint, it makes no sense to continue the failed

policies of

NAFTA which have caused our $617 Billion trade deficit unless you have

abandoned your oath of office completely and are trying to crush the

doller to usher in

a hemispheric wide currency. I don't want to live under a world

government, I

want to live in the America that used to exist but which Congress is

clearly

attempting to destroy on behalf of multinational corporate interests

who have no

use for our constitution or Bill of Rights.

 

Congressman Paul wrote an article correctly identifying CAFTA as an

unconstitutional threat to our sovereignty.

http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2005/tst060605.htm The Constitution

clearly

grants Congress alone the authority to regulate international trade.

The plain

text of Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 is incontrovertible.

 

Neither Congress nor the President can give this authority away by

treaty, any

more than they can repeal the First Amendment by treaty. This fundamental

point, based on the plain meaning of the Constitution, cannot be

overstated. Every

member of Congress who votes for CAFTA is voting to abdicate power to an

international body in direct violation of the Constitution.

 

Unless you vote AGAINST CAFTA and also oppose FTAA with every fiber of

your

being, you can rest assured I will oppose your political career as

long as there

is a breath left in my body, because if you vote for CAFTA, I will

consider you

to be threatening MY LIFE!!! "

 

WHO TO CALL TO TELL THIS TO:

 

(Call the Capital Switchboard # 202-225-3121 and ask to be connected

to each of

these people, and after you're done talking with each one ask to be

reconnected

to the switchboard so you can be connected to the next one):

Ed Note:

 

And perhaps you may want to let Senator Feinstein know of your

concerns as well.

 

I don't think she quite understands the issue.

Reply to SymphonicHealth list member re the CODEX issue from Senator

Diane Feinstein

 

Dear Mr. Ronald

Thank you for writing to express your concerns regarding the

Codex

Alimentarius legislation proposed under the World Trade Organization

(WTO).

I appreciate the time you took to write.

I understand your serious concern regarding this

issue. As you know, the WTO is an international body which addresses

the rules of trade between countries. At its heart are the WTO

agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world's

trading nations, which provide the legal ground-rules for international

commerce. They are essentially contracts, binding governments to keep

their trade policies within agreed limits.

 

The availability of dietary supplements to the

public is important, but it is equally important that these

supplements do not put the consumer's health at stake. I believe

that if we

are to ensure the safety of those who consume dietary supplements, we

must make sure that these supplements are not hazardous to their

health. We cannot allow deaths, such as those caused by the dietary

supplement Ephedra, to continue. Please know that I will continue to

monitor the work of the WTO and be sure to keep your thoughts in

mind as I do

so.

 

Again, thank you for writing. I hope that you will continue to

keep me informed of your views and concerns. If you should have further

questions regarding this or any other issue,

please do not hesitate to contact my Washington, D.C office at (202)

224-3841, or visit my

website at http://feinstein.senate.gov.
