The Cost of Spilled Milk
Walnuts, milk and vitamins are good for us! But that doesn’t stop the world’s ruling bureaucracy from reaching its tentacles into our farms, families and food stores. Their global regulations will entangle all of us, whether or not we like milk and walnuts. In his article, “The EPA versus spilled milk,” Thomas Sowell opens a window into this ominous process:
“…the EPA has decided that, since milk contains oil, it has the authority to force farmers to comply with new regulations to file ’emergency management’ plans to show how they will cope with spilled milk, how farmers will train ‘first responders’ and build ‘containment facilities’ if there is a flood of spilled milk. “Since there is no free lunch, all of this is going to cost the farmers both money and time that could be going into farming…. It is going to cost the taxpayers money as well, since the EPA is going to have to hire people to inspect farms, inspect farmers’ reports and prosecute farmers who don’t jump through all the right hoops… “[1]
A week after pondering the threats of “spilled milk,” I read an article titled the “The FDA claims walnuts are drugs.” I had just come home from our supermarket with two bags of shelled walnuts packaged by Diamond of California. They were on sale, and I can see why. Our Washington bureaucrats at the Food and Drug
Administration [FDA] had warned Diamond and sixteen other food companies that
their product labels violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Here’s
their main point:“…because of these intended uses [enjoying the nuts and seeking the
health benefits of the Omega-3 fats in walnuts], your walnut products
are drugs… Therefore…they may not be legally marketed with the above
claims in the United States without an approved new drug application.”[2]
The producers had 15 days to reply. What kinds of hurdles must they face to stay in business?
Do you wonder what’s going on? Are these examples of government control simply
a means to employ more people? Or are they a ploy to train freedom-loving Americans
to surrender their rights and submit to intrusive micro-management? Or are they
simply a plot to empower a global web of bureaucracies and enrich large corporations
that support our lawmakers and fund this agenda?
The Growing Octopus
A good place to start the search for answers
is the
Codex Alimentarius Commission website:“The Codex Alimentarius Commission
was created in 1963 by FAO [the
UN Food and Agriculture Organization] and
WHO [the UN World Health Organization]
to develop food standards, guidelines and related texts such as codes of
practice under the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme. The main purposes
of this Programme are 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.”[3]
That may sound good to trusting
souls, but don’t be deceived. Like most UN agencies, both
WHO and FAO
were founded on socialist values
and funded by wealthy globalists
such as the Rockefellers
and J. P. Morgan.
Codex, their offspring, shows the same inclination to feed on corporate enticements
and political corruption. Here are some of its intrusive agencies:
CCFAC – Codex Committee on
Food Additives and ContaminantsCCGP – Codex Committee on
General PrinciplesCCMAS – Codex Committee on
Methods of Analysis and SamplingCCNFSDU – Codex Committee
on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary UsesCCPR – Codex Committee on
Pesticide ResiduesCCRVDF – Codex Committee
on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in FoodsJECFA – Joint FAO/WHO Expert
Committee on Food Additives.[4]
There’s even a “Codex
Committee on Milk and Milk Products” designed “to elaborate world-wide standards,
codes and related texts for milk and milk products.”[5]That fits the agenda of its US
partners at the
EPA [Environmental Protection Agency].
The latter now requires farmers “to prepare and implement an emergency
management plan in the event of a milk catastrophe.”[6]
In
other words, Codex is a major
player in today’s rising pyramid of surveillance and control. Do you wonder
how many tax-paid employees are needed to keep up with all the bureaucratic
regulations at the USDA (Department of Agriculture) and DHHS (Department
of Health and Human Services)?
The Sinister Truth
Many articles have been written on this complex topic, but few state the issues
as simply as Rufina James in her report titled “The
Sinister Truth Behind Operation Cure All.” She writes,
“Behind the Codex
Alimentarius Commission is the
United Nations and the
WorldHealth 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 [Federal
Trade Commission]….“Codex began simply enough
when the U.N. authorized the World Health Organization and the
Food and AgricultureOrganization to develop a universal food code. Their purpose was to
‘harmonize’ regulations for dietary supplements worldwide and set
international safety standards for the purposes of increasing 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….“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 supersede United States
domestic laws without the American people’s voice or vote in the matter.”[7]
Does that mean we must submit
to international conventions rather than to our Constitution?Actually, our government has
been yielding to international
“laws”[8]
since the United Nations was founded in 1945 under the leadership of its first
Secretary General, communist
Alger Hiss.
Spreading like algae in a dying lake, this global bureaucracy is no longer hidden
from sight. As Rufina James explains,“…the federal government
must NOT ONLY CHANGE FEDERAL LAW, but must also require state and
local governments to change their laws to be in accordance with international
law.“…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….“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….
Food
control equals people control — and population control….“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….”[7]
That list includes Norway, my first home. In a
New Zealand Herald article titled “Conventional medicine far
riskier than supplements,” Barbara Sumner Burstyn tells us what the
mainstream media tends to hide:
“In Germany and Norway, where the Codex proposals are already enshrined in
law, even Vitamin C (above 200mg) is illegal, except by prescription and then
only from the pharmaceutical company that supplies the medical system. But first
you have to convince your doctor you need it.“All this is happening despite recent reports such as that from Harvard
University….The longitudinal study of
nearly 100,000 nurses over 20 years shows that folic acid (B vitamin) supplements reduce
cancer of the colon by a huge 75 to 80 per cent…“But perhaps the pharmaceuticals industry, despite its power, is just a little
worried. Last week the New York Times reported that the Pharmaceuticals Research
and Manufacturers of America would increase its lobbying budget by 23 per cent
to US$150 million… in the coming year. Its budget includes more
than US$2.5 million for such things as an ‘intellectual echo chamber of
economists and thought leaders’ (read journalists)…“The bottom line is that you’re 26,000 times more likely to die from properly
researched, regulated, prescribed and used drugs than dietary supplements.
Whether those supplements are effective preventative measures, you’ll have to
decide for yourself. But somehow the behaviour of the pharmaceutical companies
makes me suspicious that the researchers at Harvard and Johns Hopkins and all
those vitamin and mineral advocates might be right after all.”“Just to be on the safe side, I’m taking my vitamins – while I
can still get them.”[9]
Attempts to stop this UN-WTO
assault on American liberty
On March 20, 2001, a joint Statement
by Congressmen Ron Paul and Peter DeFazio was submitted to the House Committee
on Government Reform. Its implications
are disturbing, to say the least. Remember, the real issue is freedom, not food
control. The latter is simply an illustration of a far larger picture of coming
tyranny:
“Over the past decade the American
people have made it clear that they do not want the federal government to
interfere with their access to dietary supplements. In 1994, Congress responded
to the American people’s desire for greater access to the truth about the
benefits of dietary supplements by passing the Dietary
Supplements and Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), which liberalized the
rules regarding the regulation of dietary supplements. Congressional offices
received a record number of comments in favor of DSHEA.
“Despite DSHEA, officials of
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continued to attempt to enforce regulations
aimed at keeping the American public in the dark about the benefits of dietary
supplements….
“Codex is the vehicle through
which the World Trade Organization (WTO) is working to ‘harmonize’
(e.g. conform) food and safety regulations of WTO member countries….We
are concerned that the end result of this process will force the United
States to adopt the same strict regulations of dietary supplements common
in European countries such as Germany, where consumers cannot
even examine a bottle of dietary supplements without a pharmacist’s permission.
“By
participating in this process, the FDA is ignoring the will of Congress
as expressed in DSHEA and in the FDA Modernization Act of 1997, which expressly
forbid the FDA from participating in the harmonization process….
“If Congress were to refuse
to ‘harmonize’ US laws according to strict Codex/WTO guidelines, a WTO ‘dispute
resolution panel’ could find that the United States is engaging in unfair
trade because of our failure to ‘harmonize’ our regulations with the rest
of the world…“…in a dispute with a country
that has adopted the Codex standards it is highly probable that America
would lose and be subject to heavy sanctions….
Harmonization may be
beneficial for the large corporations and
international bureaucrats that control the WTO but it would be a
disaster for American consumers of dietary supplements!”[10]
Did you catch that? Read the
last two paragraphs again. They are critical to understanding the
entangling web of control that’s spreading over our planet. Remember, the real
issue is not limited to food and supplements. The global bureaucracy intends
to micro-manage everything —
schools,
beliefs,
values,
parenting,
migration, etc.
— using similar tactics that would bind all the links of the oppressive chains
together.
That brings us back to the broader picture. How can we prepare our children
for the hardships ahead? How will they maintain their faith when their peers
equate God’s truth with hate? Will they
dare to stand up against evil in a world that
tolerates everything except
God’s moral values? Or will they simply submit to this totalitarian
bureaucracy as their supreme authority?Perhaps we can learn some lessons from the persecuted Christians in Islamic
and Communist lands. If you have children, you might start by reading
The Armor of God
and “true stories for children.”Please pray with me that God will give us the love, strength, hope and endurance
needed to demonstrate His victory in the midst of the spreading corruption.
“Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ!”1 Corinthians 15:57
