The New Regs Proposed by the FDA and USDA Need to Be Stopped ASAP

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

They're at it again.

 

The FDA, both domestically and through Codex, has been trying to make

information about the relationship of food and food components to

health forbidden speech. That includes supplements, of course.

As if that were not bad enough, they have come up with another ploy to

make it illegal to ship supplements across state lines IF THERE HAVE

BEEN ANY PUBLISHED HEALTH STUDIES ABOUT ANY INGREDIENT! And we have

only 5 days to stop them.

This is a diabolical, but brilliant, drug company-inspired double

whammy:

Whammy Number 1: Under proposed FDA/Codex rules you cannot tell anyone

about what nutrients and supplement can do for them because they are,

say the bureaucrats, not " supported " in the scientific literature

(despite the science called " Biochemistry " and millions of peer-

reviewed journal articles)

Whammy Number 2: You won't be able to get supplements if what they can

do for you has ever been documented in the scientific literature, as

part of any medical study. And yet, there's more....

There is still time to comment on the new upcoming and onerous FDA

proposed new regulations. We now have a convenient link to facilitate

this (if you haven't already taken action) at:

A gift from the USDA to Big Biotech for GMO crops. If this gets put

into play, bye bye unadulterated food crops! USDA has released a

proposed rule gutting any meaningful oversight of GMO (genetically

engineered) crops and allowing biotech companies to grow food crops

engineered to produce drugs and industrial chemicals without

protection for conventional or organic crops. This will most likely

mean that soon, you will not be able to avoid ingesting some drug or

industrial substance when you eat. If you don't like the idea of being

an experimental subject, then this is very important to you. There are

only 3 days left to comment, so this is urgent. Our link for this is:

I thank you for taking action and protecting your health freedoms.

I am rather confused:

Regarding the ? originator of this plan to contact your politicians and

register your NO opinion .... following links shows me that this is RIMA

LAIBOW's organisation

 

 

I have read enough about Ms Laiblow and Her Husband..... from the RATH

Foundation, to convince me NOT to trust either of them in the matter of

'alternative health'......

Please decide for yourselves,...........................

A Modern Major General Exposed?

The fictional Major-General who appears in Gilbert and Sullivan's 1879 comic

opera " The Pirates of Penzance " famously sings boastfully about his

extremely wide general knowledge. Hardly the most modest of people, he

comically claims to know about or to understand all manner of disparate

subjects, and repeatedly tells the audience that he is " the very model of a

modern Major-General. "

 

Not entirely dissimilarly therefore, the health freedom movement has

recently been subjected to the increasingly bizarre claims of a real-life

Major-General, a man who, rather like his counterpart in The Pirates of

Penzance, claims to be an expert in all manner of things.

 

 

Major General Albert (Bert) N. Stubblebine III (U.S. Army, Retired)

Major General Albert (Bert) N. Stubblebine III (U.S. Army, Retired)

graduated from The United States Military Academy (West Point) in 1952, and

served in the US Army for 32 years. Starting his career as an Armor officer,

he subsequently rose through the ranks to lead troops at every echelon of

Army command, and held several senior posts in US Army Intelligence. His

commands as a General Officer included the US Army Intelligence Center and

School, the Army's Electronic Research and Development Command (ERADCOM) and

the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). Whilst on active

duty Stubblebine also redesigned the intelligence architecture of the United

States Army, and restructured the Army Intelligence training curriculum.

After his retirement from the Army in 1984 he served until 1990 as the Vice

President for Intelligence Systems at BDM Corporation, a private defense

sector contractor, and then acted as a part-time consultant to two

government contractors; ERIM, and Space Applications Corporation (SAC). More

recently, and along with his wife, the psychiatrist Rima Laibow, Stubblebine

sits on the Board of Canadian Submarine Technologies Inc, and claims to be

the designer of AEGIS, " a major Homeland Security private initiative " .

 

Given this background, and his resulting proximity to the US Government,

eyebrows began to be raised in the health freedom community in early 2005

when, along with Rima Laibow, Stubblebine launched the website of the

Natural Solutions Foundation and began to promote himself as an expert on

Codex Alimentarius.

 

However, for a man who had previously held several senior posts in US Army

Intelligence, and who as such would be acutely aware of the need to ensure

accuracy in the gathering of information, it quickly became apparent to

experienced health freedom observers that Stubblebine either hadn't done his

homework properly, or that he and Laibow were intentionally spreading

inaccurate and misleading material on Codex and other related dietary

supplement issues via their website and press releases. Moreover, despite

repeated concerns being expressed by more experienced health freedom

observers, Stubblebine and Laibow continued to disseminate this material,

and pointedly ignored requests to remove it from their website.

 

The inaccuracy of their written output on Codex reached a new high in July

2005, when, following the adoption by the Codex Alimentarius Commission of

restrictive new global guidelines for vitamin and mineral supplements,

Stubblebine and Laibow announced that a miracle had taken place at the

Commission's meeting. While the health freedom community looked on in

astonishment, Stubblebine and Laibow went on to claim that during the

meeting a World Health Organization (WHO) Under Secretary for Food Safety

had spoken " sternly, sharply and scathingly of the fact that little

contribution to human health had been made by Codex " and that WHO had stated

that " things would be different in the future " . Of course, the Dr. Rath

Health Foundation later proved, definitively, that these assertions were

largely either mistaken or exaggerated; however this unfortunately didn't

stem what was by then becoming a growing tide of inaccuracy flowing from

Stubblebine and Laibow.

 

Next, for example, following a meeting of the Codex Committee on Food

Labelling that took place in Ottawa, Canada in May 2006, Stubblebine claimed

that the meeting's outcome was a " Stunning Victory " for health freedom,

despite the fact that such an assertion had absolutely no basis in fact, as

proven by the Dr. Rath Health Foundation and confirmed by other experienced

observers who were present at the meeting, including even the Natural

Solutions Foundation's own legal council.

 

Perhaps not surprisingly therefore, Stubblebine did not take kindly to being

repeatedly exposed in this way, and subsequently confronted Paul Anthony

Taylor at the July 2006 meeting of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, in

Geneva. Paul's summary of this encounter follows below:

 

Immediately after the close of the meeting Bert Stubblebine approached me

and positioned himself so that I could not easily walk away. His manner was

somewhat aggressive, and at one point I had to tell him that there was no

need to shout, as his raised voice and threatening manner were beginning to

attract the attention of other delegates. He claimed that the subject of his

anger was the Foundation's Codex meeting in Ottawa article, as well as the

Miracle in Rome? and Be Wary of the Instant Experts articles that had

recently been revised to include his and Rima Laibow's names. He asked me

whether I wrote these articles, and I answered that the decision to name him

in them was taken by the Executive Board of the Dr. Rath Health Foundation.

In turn, I asked him whether he disagreed with any of the factual

corrections that the Dr. Rath Health Foundation had published regarding the

fictional nature of material put out by his organization, and, if so, which

ones? " All of them " , he answered.

 

 

Rima Laibow, speaking at Northwest Missouri State University in November

2005

By this point we had been joined by his wife, Rima Laibow, who, seemingly

white with anger, proceeded to ask me some of the same questions that Bert

had just asked me. I therefore told her that I had just answered these same

questions to Bert, and that as such I saw no need to answer them again. Rima

then proceeded to ask me " Who are the Executive Board of the Dr. Rath Health

Foundation? " , and I told her that the relevant names could all be found on

the Foundation's website. At this they both about-turned and stormed off,

and Rima muttered something whilst they were walking away to the effect that

they would find that information very interesting.

 

The Dr. Rath Health Foundation believes that the health freedom movement now

needs to ask several important questions of Stubblebine and the Natural

Solutions Foundation:

 

1.. Why are Codex reports issued by the Natural Solutions Foundation

increasingly at odds with those of more experienced observers, including

even those of its own Legal Counsel?

 

2.. Why does the Natural Solutions Foundation claim that miracles and

stunning victories for health freedom have taken place at Codex meetings

when in reality no such miracles or stunning victories have taken place?

 

3.. Why does Stubblebine - a man who has held several senior posts in US

Army Intelligence and who as such will be acutely aware of the need to

ensure accuracy in the gathering of information - continue to permit the

National Solutions Foundation's articles and press releases to contain

numerous crucial inaccuracies, and why does he refuse to correct them?

 

4.. Was it Stubblebine's intention to try to intimidate Paul Anthony

Taylor at the July 2006 meeting of the Codex Alimentarius Commission in

Geneva?

 

5.. Given that Stubblebine once admitted in a court of law that his " real

expertise is government, primarily intelligence " , and, when asked whether he

had any other skills, answered " Not particularly " , what does he expect the

health freedom movement to conclude regarding his spreading of inaccurate

and misleading material on Codex and other related dietary supplement

issues?

 

Is Albert Stubblebine " the very model of a modern Major-General " ? We'll

leave you to make up your own minds on that one, and can only but wonder

what Gilbert and Sullivan might have made of him. One thing is for sure

however, in that the fictional Major-General in " The Pirates of Penzance " ,

with his " pretty taste for paradox " , would probably find a man with a

background in the Intelligence Community, but who can't seem to get his

facts right, most interesting indeed.
