Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I sent this to an attorney who is helping us fight the government on FDA regs, and she said: I glanced at the act and I strongly disagree with this person's assessment. This bill will not affect backyard gardens. Nor does it appear to make organic farming " illegal. " In fact, I would say it's likely to be equivalently burdensome to non-organic farms since one of the contaminants they will be checking for is " pesticide residue. " I didn't read the whole thing, maybe I missed something, but I did read the 3 sections that person highlighted. Also don't see any 10th amendment violation happening here, since it's regulating interstate commerce. I can read it more carefully if everyone is concerned but a lot of the language in here looked pretty standard to me. -- http://NaturalPerfumers.com http://twitter.com/anyasgarden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I forwarded this to my husband, who is very much into Alex Jones and his conspiracy theories. He sent me this article back from his website. Good info in there. You can take or leave the conspiricy compenents though. http://www.infowars.com/bilderberger-plot-to-control-us-food-supply/ Bilderberger Plot to Control U.S. Food Supply Text size Infowars March 7, 2009 If left to the soft kill eugenicists in control of the government, healthy organic food produced by independent farmers will soon be a thing of the past. INN report taken from FreeSpeechTV on HR 875 and S 425. On February 23, the Federal Times reported on HR 875, a bill that would grant the FDA sweeping new powers to regulate food. It was introduced by Rep. Rosa DeLauro and arrived shrouded in hype, specifically the hysteria surrounding a recent salmonella outbreak linked to products from Peanut Corp. of America. Add to the hype last year’s outbreak of salmonella in imported peppers and a 2006 E. coli outbreak that was linked to fresh spinach and the stage is set to implement the FDA’s “food protection plan†requiring farmers and food producers to register with the government every two years. “If there’s any good that can come from this tragic outbreak, it is long-overdue changes that can help protect the American public from the food supply,†Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., said in early February at a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on oversight and investigations. In short, the government will tighten its grip on the food supply and will ultimately strangle small, independent farmers. Stephen Sundlof, director of FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, told the Federal Times the FDA needs full access to the records of individual food manufacturers. DeLauro’s bill also represents a power grab on the part of the department of Health and Human Services (the FDA is an agency under HHS). “DeLauro’s bill would also mean a big reorganization at the Health and Human Services Department: It removes food safety functions from FDA and places them in a new agency within HHS,†an admitted bureaucratic nightmare. “After what we witnessed with creating the Homeland Security Department, we realized that it’s very complex, setting up a new agency,†said Lisa Shames, director of food safety and agricultural issues at the Government Accountability Office. “The new administration is pushing new farm controls through Congress as fast as possible and have coordinated the bills so there will be no debate and the committee meetings are closed,†explains Linn Cohen-Cole for the Natural Solutions Foundation. “Our concern focuses on pending legislation to establish a ‘Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services.’ This bill is H.R. 875 and the Senate is considering a similar bill, S. 425… If Congress insists upon passing these bills, it is very important that Congress write into these bills specific language protecting organic and small family farms and ranches. These enterprises and all natural products, including organic and natural food products and Dietary Supplements, must be exempted from the controls of these bills.†Obama recently nominated Kansas governor Katherine Sebelius to head up HHS. Sebelius is a Bilderberg member. Recall top-drawer Bilderberg member Henry Kissinger’s call for “depopulation,†another word for eugenics. National Security Study Memorandum 200, dated April 24, 1974, and entitled “Implications of world wide population growth for U.S. security & overseas interests,†calls for world depopulation, specifically in “developing countries.†In 1972, the Club of Rome published “The Limits to Growth,†a book arguing for Malthusian solutions to world population. The Club of Rome is a globalist think-tank closely interlocked with the Bilderberg Group, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission (see David Icke, “The Round Table’s Bilderberg Networkâ€). “These are dominated by the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, and major manipulators like Henry Kissinger,†writes Icke. As author and researcher F. William Engdahl notes, the modern eugenicist movement — in addition to the environmental movement and the “Green Revolution†— were founded and funded by the Rockefellers. “The eugenics of Hitler were financed to a major extent by the same Rockefeller Foundation which today is building a doomsday seed vault to preserve samples of every seed on our planet,†writes Engdahl. “In reality, as it years later emerged, the Green Revolution was a brilliant Rockefeller family scheme to develop a globalized agribusiness which they then could monopolize just as they had done in the world oil industry beginning a half century before. As Henry Kissinger declared in the 1970’s, ‘If you control the oil you control the country; if you control food, you control the population’… Agribusiness and the Rockefeller Green Revolution went hand-in-hand.†Thomas Ferguson, the Latin American case officer for the State Department’s Office of Population Affairs under Kissinger, was speaking bluntly yet honestly when he said: “Population is a political problem. Once population is out of control it requires authoritarian government, even fascism, to reduce it.†Now the Bilderbergers and the Rockefellers have a minion heading up the HHS and twin bills in Congress essentially eliminating the FDA and proposing a draconian “food protection plan†of bureaucratic rules and regulations that will drive small farmers and food producers — most notably organic food producers — out of business under the guise of protecting the public from salmonella and E. coli. It is hardly surprising a Google News search of the corporate media produces no results on S. 425 or H.R. 875 ---- Perfumes <anya wrote: > I sent this to an attorney who is helping us fight the government on FDA > regs, and she said: > > I glanced at the act and I strongly disagree with this person's > assessment.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Good Morning I looked up house bill HR 875, granted I didn't carefully read all 117 pages, so I'm not real sure about the problem. Like most bill/laws there is a lot of vagueness. A lot is left up to interpretation. Even after it is passed it is left up to interpretation. The fact that it is still in committee means there is hope for clarity. Along these same lines there is a very good DVD called " Future of Food " www.thefutureoffood.com. I found a copy in the library. It will give you a lot of incite into just what is going on with our food. You can watch part of it on youtube --Good Morning I looked up house bill HR 875, granted I didn't carefully read all 117 pages, so I'm not real sure about the problem.

Thanks for finding this and please keep us posted Rita Hi Rita, " The Future of Food " http://www.thefutureoffood.com/ was produced in 2004 and has run on LinkTV periodically and other nonprofit media. It is again running now during Link's pledge drive . . . I've tevo'd it to watch again. Very good choice. Another good current movie you can get from Netflix is " King Corn " http://www.kingcorn.net/, extremely well done and entertainingly funny, but with a sobering look at how we have introduced inferior corn into all major manufactured foods, as well as most fast foods. High fructose corn syrup is the primary culprit, since it is so easily and cheaply produced . . . New studies reveal that there is a level of mercury in HFCS that imparts during production. I highly recommend King Corn to anyone wanting to know more about big box agriculture.
