THE SINISTER TRUTH BEHIND OPERATION CURE.ALL

 

 

by Ruth James

 

 

What's really behind Operation Cure.All? Is it just the FDA and FTC taking

their power too far? Or is there a deeper, more sinister purpose to this

campaign?

 

How could a country that prides itself in its freedom of speech, freedom of

choice, and freedom of information be facing such severe restrictions in

health freedom and dietary supplements? Haven't the people made their will

known? Didn't our government pass the Dietary Supplement Health & Education

Act of 1994 to insure our right to health supplements?

 

Indeed, our government did. But the FDA and FTC have found ways to get

around that. The laws put in place to protect us are being ignored. And

what's worse, is that those laws are about to be superceded, if the powers

that be have their way.

 

OPERATION CURE.ALL IS JUST ONE MEANS TO AN END

 

You see, Operation Cure.All is just a tactic, a vehicle, in a much bigger

overall plan. It is a result of " Codex Alimentarius " (meaning food

code) -- a set of regulations that aim to outlaw any health information in

connection with vitamins and limit free access to natural therapies on a

worldwide scale.

 

WHAT'S BEHIND CODEX?

 

Behind the Codex Alimentarius Commission is the United Nations and the World

Health Organization working in conjunction with the multinational

pharmaceutical cartel and international banks. Its initial efforts in the US

with the FDA were defeated, so it found another ally in the FTC. Now Codex,

with the FTC and the pharmaceutical cartel behind it, it threatens to become

a trade issue, using the campaign of Operation Cure.All to advance its

goals.

 

Codex began simply enough when the U.N. authorized the World Health

Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization todevelop a universal

food code. Their purpose was to 'harmonize' regulations for dietary

supplements worldwide and set international safety standards for the

purposes of increased trade. Standardize labeling and regulatory

requirements between countries to facilitate increased international trade.

Pharmaceutical interests stepped in and began exerting their influence.

Instead of focusing on food safety, Codex is using its power to promote

worldwide restrictions on vitamins and food supplements, severely limiting

their availability and dosages.

 

REAL GOALS OF CODEX

 

This is to bring about international 'harmonization.' While global harmony

sounds benign, is that the real purpose of this plan? While the stated goal

of Codex is to establish unilateral regulations for dietary supplements in

every country, the actual goal is to outlaw health products and information

on vitamins and dietary supplements, except those under their direct

control. These regulations would supercede United States domestic laws

without the American people's voice or vote in the matter.

 

HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE?

 

Americans gasp at the thought. It goes against everything America stands

for. Many believe this can't be possible. The truth is, it's not only

possible, it's required by the Codex agreement.

 

In fact, under the terms of the Uruguay Round of GATT, which created the

World Trade Organization, the United States agreed to harmonize its domestic

laws to the international standards. This includes standards for dietary

supplements being developed by the United Nation's Codex Alimentarius

Commission's Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Use.

 

The Uruguay Round Agreements carry explicit language clearly indicating that

the U.S. must harmonize to international standards:

 

" Members are fully responsible under this Agreement for the observance of

all provisions.... members shall formulate andimplement positive measures

and mechanisms in support of the observance of the provisions.... by other

than central government bodies. " [WTO TBT Agreement at Article 3.5] "

 

In other words, the federal government must NOT ONLY CHANGE FEDERAL LAW, but

must ALSO require state and local governments to change their laws as well

to be in accordance with international law.

 

Not only that, but Codex is now enforceable through the World Trade

Organization (WTO). If a country disagrees with or refuses to follow Codex

standards, the WTO applies pressure by withdrawing trade privileges and

imposing crippling trade sanctions. Congress has already bowed to this

pressure several times and so have the governments of many countries.

 

While the exemption clause (USC 3512(a)(1) and (a)(2) was created to

supposedly protect our laws from harmonization to international standards,

it has proven to be totally ineffective. The United States has already lost

seven trade disputes despite the exemption clause. Due to the enormous

pressures put on them by lobbyists from multinational corporations (who

contribute millions to congressional campaigns), Congress bowed to pressure

and changed U.S. laws.

 

It appears our government is being manipulated one way or another to serve

the goals of the UN, the World Health Organization and the World Trade

Organization. Food control equals people control -- and population control.

Is this beginning to sound like world government and one-world order?Could

this be the real goal behind Codex?

 

The United States, Canada, the Europeans, Japan, most of Asia,and South

America have already signed agreements pledging total harmonization of their

laws including food and drug laws to these international standards in the

future.

 

WHAT CODEX WILL BRING

 

What can we expect under Codex? To give you an idea, here are some important

points:

 

- Dietary supplements could not be sold for preventive (prophylactic) or

therapeutic use.

- Potencies would be limited to extremely low dosages. Only the drug

companies and the big phytopharmaceutical companies would have the right to

produce and sell the higher potency products (at inflated prices).

 

- Prescriptions would be required for anything above the extremely low

doses allowed (such as 35 mg. on niacin).

 

- Common foods such as garlic and peppermint would be classified as drugs

or a third category (neither food nor drugs) that only big pharmaceutical

companies could regulate and sell. Any food with any therapeutic effect can

be considered a drug, even benign everyday substances like water.

 

 

- Codex regulations for dietary supplements would become binding (escape

clauses would be eliminated).

 

- All new dietary supplements would be banned unless they go through Codex

testing and approval.

 

- Genetically altered food would be sold worldwide without labeling.

 

According to John Hammell, a legislative advocate and the founder of

International Advocates for Health Freedom (IAHF), here is what we have to

look forward to:

 

" If Codex Alimentarius has its way, then herbs, vitamins, minerals,

homeopathic remedies, amino acids and other natural remedies you have taken

for granted most of your life will be gone. The name of the game for Codex

is to shift all remedies into the prescription category so they can be

controlled exclusively by the medical monopoly and its bosses, the major

pharmaceutical firms. Predictably, this scenario has been denied by both the

Canadian Health Food Association and the Health Protection Branch of Canada

(HPB).

 

The Codex proposals already exist as law in Norway and Germany where the

entire health food industry has literally been taken over by the drug

companies. In these countries, vitamin C above 200 mg is illegal as is

vitamin E above 45 IU, vitamin B1 over 2.4 mg and so on. Shering-Plough,

the Norway pharmaceutical giant, now controls an echinacea tincture, which

is being sold there as an over the counter drug at grossly inflated prices.

The same is true of ginkgo and many other herbs, and only one government

controlled pharmacy has the right to import supplements as medicines which

they can sell to health food stores, convenience stores or pharmacies. "

 

It is now a criminal offence in parts of Europe to sell herbs as foods. An

agreement called EEC6565 equates selling herbs as foods to selling other

illegal drugs. Action is being taken to accelerate other European countries

into 'harmonization' as well.

 

Paul Hellyer in his book, " The Evil Empire, " states: " Codex is supported by

international banks and multinational corporations including some in Canada,

and is in reality a bill of rights for these banks and the corporations they

control. It will hand over our sovereign rights concerning who may or may

not invest in our countries to an unelected world organization run by big

business. The treaty would make it impossible for Canadian legislators

either federal or provincial to alter or improve environmental standards for

fear of being sued by multinational corporations whether operating in Canada

or not.

 

This will create a world without borders ruled by a virtual dictatorship of

the world's most powerful central banks and multinational companies. This

world is an absolute certainty if we all sit on our hands and do nothing. "

 

This is the future the FDA and FTC are striving to bring us via Codex

harmonization. Is this a future we are going to willingly accept or

prevent?

 

WHY TARGET THE INTERNET?

 

It is no accident that the FDA and FTC are targeting internet health sites

through Operation Cure.All. We are standing in the doorway of an

unprecedented revolution -- the information revolution brought about by the

Internet.

 

Now all people everywhere have the ability to learn about anything that

interests them with just a few clicks. History has shown that informed,

educated people change civilizations -- they change the flow of thought and

they change the flow of money. They can even change the direction of a

country. When similar transitions have happened in the past, the powers that

existed did not give up willingly. The Catholic Church fiercelyprotected

its practice of selling 'indulgences' as a forgiveness of sin. When the

practice was abolished, the Catholic Church lost a great deal of power and

money.

 

When the printing press was invented, books were banned and printers were

imprisoned by the authorities, who feared an educated public could not be

governed. In the same way, the medical monopoly (and the UN) now fears that

a public educated in health and privy to the shortcomings of modern medicine

could not be controlled. Loss of control means loss of revenue and loss of

power. And they are doing everything they can to stop progress so they can

contain their losses and strengthen their power.

 

The printing press changed the world. Can you imagine what life would be

like today if the book banners had their way? But because the printing

press won out, society progressed and freedom was embraced. The internet is

changing the world in an equally significant way. While the entire internet

can hardly be suppressed, the pharma-cartels and their backers are looking

to protect their interests by restricting as much information as they can on

the internet.

 

Will we, the people, win out again -- or will the UN and theWorld Health

Organization agenda and the pharmaceutical cartel change the course of

history and take us back to the " dark ages " of medicine?

 

WHAT CAN WE DO?

 

Step number one is learn as much as possible about this issue. Here are some

websites where you will find a great deal of information:

Signing petitions is fine, but not nearly as effective as writing to your

congressmen and congresswomen. Write to them insisting we hold a PROPER

Oversight Hearing on Codex. An oversite hearing was held in March, but the

truth was not allowed to come out. Witness who could have exposed what was

going on, and who wanted to testify, were denied the opportunity to testify.

Congress is strongly resisting another Codex hearing, telling their

constituents it is not necessary. This could not be further from the truth.

CTM Comment: Codex is of course the single most virulent assault on human

freedoms in recent times. The desire to control of vitamins, minerals, herbs

and other nutritional factors has ironically come about as a result of the

inability of orthodox medicine to destroy the practice of the public

practising health without drugs. Now government and the chemical industry

will seek to control and profit from that which was available directly to

the public in times gone by.

 

Overturning the Codex by a mass public backlash is CTM's sworn goal. This

can be accomplished only with large numbers of the public all committed to

this endeavour. As the above article states, the Internet itself has been

able to grant access to information freely to anyone seeking it, and this

has destabilised the flow of money and profits to institutions which have

traditionally believed their highly lucrative monopolies to be safe. There

can be no more pressing reason to join the Campaign for Truth in Medicine

for FREE than to assist us in pressuring for the scrapping of Codex. Do you

know other members of your family or friends who will be willing to join?
