And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Stay tuned for more important information.
(NaturalNews) Codeath (sorry, I meant Codex)
Alimentarius, latin for Food Code, is a very misunderstood
organization that most people (including nearly all U.S.
congressmen) have never heard of, never mind understand the
true reality of this extremely powerful trade organization.
From the official Codex website (
www.codexalimentari
us.net) the altruistic purpose of this commission
is in "protecting health of the consumers and ensuring fair
trade practices in the food trade, and promoting
coordination of all food standards work undertaken by
international governmental and non-governmental
organizations" . Codex is a joint venture regulated by the
Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and World Health
Organization (WHO).
Brief History of
Codex
The history of Codex began in 1893 when the
Austria-Hungarian empire decided it needed a specific set of
guidelines by which the courts could rule on cases dealing
with food [1]. This regulatory set of mandates became known
as Codex Alimentarius and was effectively implemented until
the fall of the empire in 1918. The United Nations (UN) met
in 1962 and decided that Codex should be re-implemented
worldwide in order to protect health of the consumers.
Two-thirds of funding for Codex emanates from the FAO while
the other third comes from the WHO.
In 2002, the FAO
and WHO had serious concerns about the direction of Codex
and hired an external consultant to determine its
performance since 1962 and to designate which direction to
take the trade organization [2]. The consultant concluded
that Codex should be immediately scrapped and eliminated. It
was at this time that big industry realized the full
monetary potential of this organization and exerted its
powerful influence. The updated outcome was a toned down
report asking Codex to address 20 various concerns within
the organization.
Since 2002, the Codex Alimentarius
Commission has covertly surrendered its role as an
international public health and consumer protection
organization. Under the helm of big industry, the sole
surreptitious purpose of the new codex is to increase
profits for the global corporate juggernauts while
controlling the world through food. The implicit
understanding of their philosophy is that if you control
food, you control the world.
Codex
Now
The most dominant country behind the agenda
of Codex is the United States whose sole purpose is to
benefit multinational interests like Big Pharma, Big
Agribusiness, Big Chema and the like. At the latest meeting
in Geneva, the U.S. recently became the chair of Codex which
will facilitate an exacerbation of the distortion of health
freedom and will continue the promulgation of misinformation
and lies about genetically modified organism (GMOs) and
nutrients while fulfilling the tacit population control
agenda. The reason the U.S. continues to dominate Codex is
because other countries falsely believe the U.S. possesses
the latest and greatest safety technology when it comes to
food and hence, whatever the U.S. asks for, its allies
(E.U., Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Australia,
Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore) follow suit nearly
every time.
Many of the countries who wish to
participate and want to voice their opinions are not allowed
to attend the Codex meetings as the U.S. denies most visas
for these representatives whenever they feel like it. Many
of these countries (South Africa, Swaziland, Kenya, Ghana,
Egypt, Cameroon, Sudan, Nigeria) realize that Codex has been
altered from a benevolent food organization to one that is
fraudulent, lethal and illegitimate. The fact that Codex
meetings are held all over the world is also no accident and
allows the U.S. to maintain its tight grip on the Codex
agenda as the less economically viable countries are not
able to attend.
The Real Threat
While
the esoteric agenda of the media is busy driving fear into
the hearts of the world by focusing on terrorism, global
warming, salmonella, and food shortages, the real threats
are clandestinely becoming a reality. Soon every single
thing you put into your mouth (with the exception of
pharmaceuticals, of course) will be highly regulated by
Codex Alimentarius, including water. The standards of Codex
are a complete affront to the freedom of clean and healthy
food, yet these regulations have no legal international
standing. Why should we be worried? These soon-to-be
mandatory standards will apply to every country who are
members of the WTO (World Trade Organization) . If countries
do not follow these standards, then enormous trade sanctions
will result. Some Codex standards that will take effect on
December 31, 2009 and once initiated are completely
irrevocable include [2]:
*
All nutrients
(vitamins and minerals) are to be considered toxins/poisons
and are to be removed from
all food because Codex
prohibits the use of nutrients to "prevent, treat or cure
any condition or disease"
*
All food
(including organic) is to be irradiated, removing all toxic
nutrients from food (unless eaten locally and raw).
*
Nutrients allowed will be limited to a Positive List
developed by Codex which will include such beneficial
nutrients like Fluoride (3.8 mg daily) developed from
environmental waste. All other nutrients will be prohibited
nationally and internationally to all Codex-compliant
countries [2].
*
All nutrients (e.g., CoQ10,
Vitamins A, B, C, D, Zinc and Magnesium) that have any
positive health impact on the body will be deemed illegal
under Codex and are to be reduced to amounts negligible to
humans' health [3].
* You will not even be able to
obtain these anywhere in the world even with a
prescription.
*
All advice on nutrition
(including written online or journal articles or oral advice
to a friend, family member or anyone) will be illegal. This
includes naturalnews. com reports on vitamins and minerals
and all nutritionist' s consultations.
*
All
dairy cows are to be treated with Monsanto's recombinant
bovine growth hormone.
*
All animals used for
food are to be treated with potent antibiotics and exogenous
growth hormones.
* The reintroduction of deadly and
carcinogenic organic pesticides that in 1991, 176 countries
(including the U.S.) have banned worldwide including 7 of
the 12 worst at the Stockholm Convention on Persistent
Organic Pesticides (e.g., Hexachlorobenzene, Toxaphene, and
Aldrin) will be allowed back into food at elevated levels
[4].
* Dangerous and toxic levels (0.5 ppb) of
aflotoxin in milk produced from moldy storage conditions of
animal feed will be allowed. Aflotoxin is the second most
potent (non-radiation) carcinogenic compound known to
man.
* Mandatory use of growth hormones and
antibiotics on all food herds, fish and flocks
*
Worldwide implementation of unlabeled GMOs into crops,
animals, fish and trees.
* Elevated levels of residue
from pesticides and insecticides that are toxic to humans
and animals.
Some examples of potential permissible
safe levels of nutrients under Codex include [2]:
*
Niacin - upper limits of 34 mcg daily (effective daily doses
include 2000 to 3000 mcgs).
* Vitamin C - upper
limits of 65 to 225 mcg daily (effective daily doses include
6000 to 10000 mcgs).
* Vitamin D - upper limits of 5
µg daily (effective daily doses include 6000 to 10000
µg).
* Vitamin E - upper limits of 15 IU of alpha
tocopherol only per day, even though alpha tocopherol by
itself has been implicated in cell damage and is toxic to
the body (effective daily doses of mixed tocopherols include
10000 to 12000 IU).
The Door is Open for
Codex
In 1995, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) created an illegal policy stating that
international standards (i.e, Codex) would supersede U.S.
laws governing all food even if these standards were
incomplete [5]. Furthermore, in 2004 the U.S. passed the
Central American Free Trade Agreement (illegal under U.S.
law, but legal under international law) that requires the
U.S. to conform to Codex in December of 2009
[6].
Once these standards are adopted there is no
possible way to return to the standards of the old. Once
Codex compliance begins in
any area, as long as we
remain a member of the WTO, it is totally irrevocable. These
standards are then unable to be repealed, changed or altered
in any way shape or form [1, 2, 7].
Population
control for money is the easiest way to describe the new
Codex which is run by the U.S. and controlled by Big Pharma
and the like to reduce the population to a sustainable 500
million - a reduction of approximately 93 percent. The FAO
and WHO have the audacity to estimate that by the
introduction of just the vitamin and mineral guideline
alone, at a minimum 3 billion deaths (1 billion from
starvation and another 2 billion from preventable and
degenerative diseases of under nutrition, e.g., cancer,
cardiovascular disease, and diabetes) will
result.
Degraded, demineralized, pesticide-filled and
irradiated foods are the fastest and most efficient way to
cause a profitable surge in malnutrition, preventable and
degenerative disease which the most appropriate course of
action is always pharmaceuticals. Death for profit is the
new name of the game. Big Pharma has been waiting for this
opportunity for years.
Fighting
Back
Dr. Rima Laibow, M.D., who is the medical
director for Natural Solutions Foundation, has undertaken
legal action against the U.S. government and continues to
attend every Codex meeting while fighting for your health
freedom. The latest Codex meeting in Geneva heard some
dissenting voices that were tired of the U.S. bullying every
other country in the world with its population control
agenda. Brazil and China have stated that when smaller,
underrepresented countries are unable to attend Codex
meetings (due to the U.S. not allowing Visas or for lack of
monetary means) then every decision made in their absence is
invalid. As a result, Codex may soon fall apart under the
weight of it own corruption, but pressure needs to be
unilaterally applied.
Dr. Rima has also been meeting
with delegates from other countries and making them aware of
something called Private Standards. Private standards allow
countries to draft food standards which are safer and higher
than those mandated by Codex. Obviously, this is not a very
difficult task and many countries can seemingly circumvent
the flawed and irrevocable guidelines Codex is attempting to
implement on December 31, 2009 [7].
What Can You
Do?
The only way to avoid such cataclysmic events
are to fight with the dissemination of knowledge to everyone
you know. It does not matter whether they are still asleep
or hypnotized by the enslavement of daily life or too busy
to pay attention -- the time to wake up is now. The U.S.
government and the collaborating media have been trying to
distract America while all these egregious and mandatory
standards are covertly passed. It is time to take action and
you can do so by going to (
www.healthfreedomus
a.org) and following the latest updates on Codex.
You can also sign a legal citizen's petition here: (
http://www.healthfr eedomusa. org/ind..
.) .
Another effective way to get your
voice heard is through sending emails or writing to your
congressman (https://forms. house.gov/ wyr/welcome. shtml) .
If you send one email to congress, it will ostensibly count
as 13,000 emails. The U.S. Congress believes that for each
person who takes the time to write or email them there are
another 13,000 others who share similar views but do not
take the time to promulgate them. Those living in other
countries need to contact their representatives in order to
have your voice heard. It is very important that swift and
vociferous action be taken now. Times are changing very
rapidly and unless we all come together on this issue we may
all have to start thinking about growing our own food in the
near future to avoid extermination.
