HR 875 Could Result in Arrest, Imprisonment of CEOs of Processed Food

Companies (if enforced)

(NaturalNews) The health-conscious community is rightly concerned over the

pending passage of HR 875, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, which

hammers small family farms with a whole new level of tyranny and oppression.

The proposed law is chock full of ominous-sounding text that would allow

government authorities to fine small farms $1 million a day while arresting and

imprisoning their owners for refusing to spray toxic chemicals on their organic

produce. (There are many other bizarre elements in this proposed law, too.)

 

But the law has a few other elements that no one is talking about, such as

SEC 401 - Prohibited Acts (_http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query..._

(http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.875:) ), which reads, **It is

prohibited

(1) to manufacture, introduce, deliver for introduction, or receive in

interstate commerce any _food_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/food.html) that is

adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise unsafe.**

 

And that sentence, if actually enforced by the new FDA (Food Safety Agency),

should immediately outlaw ALL _foods_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/foods.html)

containing:

 

• Aspartame

• MSG

• Partially-hydrogenated oils (an " adulteration " )

• Homogenized milk (an " adulteration " )

• Sodium nitrite

 

.... and many other dangerous ingredients that I've written about for years

on _NaturalNews_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/NaturalNews.html) , and in my book

Grocery Warning (_http://www.truthpublishing.com/groc..._

(http://www.truthpublishing.com/grocerywarning_p/yprint-cat21246.htm) )

 

Five years in prison for _diet soda_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/diet_soda.html) company executives?

Another part of HR 875 that's quite interesting describes the civil

penalties for those responsible for shipping food (or beverage) products that

result

in **serious illness.**

 

The law reads:

 

(1) CIVIL PENALTY-

 

(A) IN GENERAL- Any person that commits an act that violates the _food

safety_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/food_safety.html) law (including a

regulation

promulgated or order issued under the food safety law) may be assessed a civil

penalty by the Administrator of not more than $1,000,000 for each such act.

 

(1) OFFENSE RESULTING IN SERIOUS ILLNESS- Notwithstanding section 303(a) of

the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 333(a)), if a violation

of any provision of section 301 of such Act (21 U.S.C. 301) with respect to an

adulterated or misbranded food results in serious illness, the person

committing the violation shall be imprisoned for not more than 5 years, fined

in

accordance with title 18, _United States_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/United_States.html) Code, or both.

 

Thus, because chemical sweeteners in diet sodas have been well documented to

cause conditions that most reasonable people would consider " serious

illnesses " (blindness, seizures, brain tumors, etc.), if HR 875 is enforced, it

could result in the arrest and imprisonment of the CEOs of Coke and Pepsi.

 

And that doesn't even cover all the other food and beverage companies that

sell products known to contribute to serious illness. Diabetes is a serious

illness, and _soda_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/soda.html) products directly

promote it. Heart _disease_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/disease.html) is a

serious illness, and margarine products (which are adulterated beyond belief)

certainly cause _heart disease_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/heart_disease.html)

..

Cancer is a serious illness, and bacon, sausage and processed meats contain

_sodium nitrite_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/sodium_nitrite.html) that

directly promotes _cancer_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/cancer.html) .

 

Given these simple truths, if HR 875 passes, I suggest the members of the

_natural health_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/natural_health.html) community

should get together and start calling for the arrest and imprisonment of the

CEOs of Kraft Foods, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and all sorts of other food

mega-corporations that ship products that promote disease and death.

 

Speaking of death, the penalties get even more aggressive if someone dies

from eating harmful _food products_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/food_products.html) . As stated in the HR 875 bill

text:

 

(2) OFFENSE RESULTING IN DEATH- Notwithstanding section 303(a) of the

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 333(a)), if a violation of any

provision of section 301 of such Act (21 U.S.C. 331) with respect to an

adulterated or misbranded food results in death, the person committing the

violation

shall be imprisoned for not more than 10 years, fined in accordance with title

18, United States Code, or both.

 

Did you catch that? Under this law, we could conceivably get the CEOs of

junk _food companies_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/food_companies.html) locked

away for ten years! To do that, we have to demonstrate that people are being

killed by consuming their food products. That's easy: Just open your eyes and

look around: Virtually everybody dying in _America_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/America.html) today is dying in part or in whole

from the consumption of

_toxic chemicals_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/toxic_chemicals.html) and

adulterated ingredients found in processed foods and _pharmaceuticals_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/pharmaceuticals.html) . If any honest science were

actually

being conducted on this, it would be remarkably easy to prove.

 

Shutting down CVS Pharmacies, _Walgreens_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/Walgreens.html) and Junk Food Retailers

That*s not all you*ll find in HR 875. According to the law text, even

retailers who receive adulterated foods would be subjected to civil penalties.

As

the law states: **It is prohibited (1) to manufacture, introduce, deliver for

introduction, or receive in interstate commerce any food that is adulterated,

misbranded, or otherwise unsafe.**

 

That means it would be illegal for Walgreens, for example, to stock

_processed foods_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/processed_foods.html) made with

harmful

ingredients. I don't know if you've ever actually been in a Walgreens, but I

have. And if you remove everything in that store that's harmful for your

_health_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/health.html) , there's virtually nothing

left but empty shelf space. That whole retail box is a cesspool of toxic

_chemicals_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/chemicals.html) , if you ask me.

 

Wouldn*t it be cool to see the CEO of Walgreens arrested and imprisoned for

selling products that poison people? And why stop at Walgreens? You could

move on to Wal-Mart, CVS Pharmacies, K-Mart and grocery store chains, too.

There's hardly a single grocery store operating in America today that isn't

selling some sort of harmful poison on its shelves. Heck, even Whole Foods

sells

soups and deli foods made with yeast extract (which contains MSG).

 

Why HR 875 will never be enforced in this way

So frankly, if you really read HR 875, and if it were really enforced as

written, it would spell an end to the mass-poisoning of Americans through

processed foods and beverages.

 

But you know as well as I do that this law will never be enforced as

written. Instead of targeting processed junk foods that cause cancer and heart

disease, the law will be used to intimidate and prosecute organic farmers and

_raw

milk_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/raw_milk.html) producers.

 

As with all laws under a nation of _tyranny_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/tyranny.html) , this law will be used to oppress

freedom and centralize power in

the hands of the (_agribusiness_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/agribusiness.html) ) few.

 

Remember this: In a lawless land, laws have no meaning other than to justify

acts of tyranny against the People. And the United States of America is now,

without question, a lawless land. The FDA follows no law. The FTC follows no

law. The Federal Reserve follows no law. Even the President makes up his own

laws (executive orders).

 

In America today, Laws are selectively applied against the enemies of the

status quo, which is primarily made up of powerful _corporations_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/corporations.html) , corrupt lawmakers and

tyrannical federal

regulators like the _DEA_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/DEA.html) , which has

conducted medical marijuana raids against California's health clinics that were

fully complying with state law!

 

This brings me to an astonishing conclusion: It does not matter how HR 875

is written. The **language** of laws in America today is all but irrelevant.

The reality is that Big Agribusiness is taking over _the food supply_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/the_food_supply.html) much like Big Pharma has

taken over

_medicine_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/medicine.html) , and anyone who gets

in the way of that agenda (small organic family _farmers_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/farmers.html) , raw milk products, raw almond

growers, etc.) will be

destroyed, arrested or put out of business. What words are written on paper

are irrelevant.

 

This is precisely how the American Medical Association and _the FDA_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/the_FDA.html) railroaded natural health

practitioners

and took over medicine in America. Food is now being hijacked in the same way.

In fact, these two conspiracies are related: Food is being targeted for

termination precisely because when sold in natural, non-adulterated forms, it

is

highly medicinal! This is why the new **food security** laws focus on

fumigation, pasteurization and _irradiation_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/irradiation.html) : Because these things destroy the

_natural medicine_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/natural_medicine.html) found in foods, rendering

them medicinally

inert.

 

It's all so pathetically predictable

HR 875 should be called the Food Destruction Act of 2009. As usual, _Big

Government_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/Big_Government.html) exploited a food

crisis (the peanut contamination) in order to forward its food tyranny agenda.

 

I predicted all this on April 14, 2008, in an article called The Food

Irradiation Plot: Why the _USDA_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/USDA.html) Wants

to

Sterilize Fresh Produce and Turn Live Foods into Dead Foods

(_http://www.naturalnews.com/023015.html_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/023015.html) ). In that

2008 article, I wrote:

 

**Destroying the natural medicine in the _food supply_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/food_supply.html) sure would be a highly effective

way to create more

customers for _Big Pharma_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/Big_Pharma.html) ,

wouldn*t it? I think it* & s all part of the **keep the population sick and

diseased** plot being carried out by an evil partnership between drug companies

and the U.S. government. We already know that the FDA and USDA work for the

corporations, not the People. We already know that they will do practically

anything to boost their profits (including conducting medical experiments on

infants, drugging schoolchildren, lying to the public, fabricating clinical

trials and more). Is it any surprise that they would now attempt a **final

solution** on the food supply that kills the food and thereby results in a huge

reduction in the population*s intake of the disease-fighting nutrients found in

_fresh produce_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/fresh_produce.html) ?**

 

In went on to describe the steps that would be taken by the U.S. government

in order to create the conditions for a national food safety tyranny

organization. These steps include:

 

1) Conduct poor inspections of fresh produce on purpose, in order to cause a

large increase in food-borne illness outbreaks. (We've seen this increase

happen over the last 12 - 24 months.) This can be easily accomplished by

reducing the budget of food inspection offices, or removing inspectors from the

payroll altogether (which has already happened).

 

2) Wait for the outbreaks to happen. When consumers get sick, run national

press releases announcing how dangerous the food supply is.

 

3) Watch the consumer reaction as people and _lawmakers_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/lawmakers.html) demand **something be done!**

 

4) Once the public is demanding a solution to food-borne illnesses, roll out

a national produce irradiation requirement that sterilizes all the food.

 

This is essentially what has happened now with the FSA (Food Safety

Administration), but on a much larger scale.

 

The bottom line in all this? It*s all so pathetically predictable that I'm

surprised most people can't see through it. The agenda to take over the food

supply is being advanced precisely by the allowed creation of a food crisis,

which wasn*t even really much of a crisis to begin with. A few people died

from eating tainted peanuts. While their deaths are regrettable, their numbers

are insignificant compared to the number of people dying every day from

pharmaceuticals and _processed food_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/processed_food.html) .

 

The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 is a tyrannical answer to an

imagined crisis that has been purposely blown out of proportion by Big

Government

and the mainstream media.

 

But you know what? If HR 875 actually passes, let*s demand that its written

text actually be enforced against all the processed food companies selling

dangerous, toxic products to the American public right now.
