Health Freedom Threats: Codex, FDA, Vaccinations, GMOs

From Dr. Laibow and Gen. Stubblebine,

It is beginning to feel like a Community here, as we implement our International Decade of Nutrition in Central America, to complement the projects already under way in Africa. Living here in the Valley of the Moon has given us the opportunity to move ahead with our plans to demonstrate Natural Solutions. We invite you all to consider how you can participate in these efforts.

James and Sandis C. are here for a month with their kids. Although we did not have the facility ready for them that we expected to have, they have rented a nice apartment ($450/mo) for themselves and their 4 and 6 year old – WITH internet connection. Their grocery bill for a week of organic veggies at the co-op today was, they told us at dinner, $17.

Jim A. is here permanently and is our first BIC worker. Tomorrow he moves into a furnished apartment for $175/mo.

Xiomara was here yesterday and fell in love with the place and the project.

We have located 3 absolutely lovely buildable lots across the street with Xiomara’s help (she is a Panamanian and spoke to people not as a Gringo would) and they are all available for sale.

There are many other such lots here so as soon as we can (after we purchase the farm), we are set to go IF others do not get the land first. For example, if we walked into the humble cabin of one of the owners with cash in hand, we could have his lot for very little money. Today. So can anyone else who does the same.

The prices for a non-Gringo were much lower than for a foreigner and Xiomara is in the process of negotiating for us.

Today I spent much of the day with a dairyman who is eager to try our techniques for making his cattle organic. And, wonder of wonders, one of his cattle spreads is directly adjacent to the farm we are in the process of buying!

That means we don’t have to buy a cattle farm to have cattle to work with AND we are working with a person who is open to our ways and knows cattle intimately. By the way, after half a day with Juan (who speaks English perfectly since he was educated in the States) I now know more than I imagined I could ever know about cattle and have an inkling of how very, very much there is to learn about cattle.

However, we are apparently located next to a master dairy man and we are very fortunate in that regard!

Now, I want to talk to you about an idea: we need to move forward economically in a time of economic crisis and peril and there are excellent ways to do it, I think.

First of all, let me reiterate that getting money out of “money” and putting it into a durable good (land, gold – but you cannot grow food on gold and you cannot live on gold – is the most prudent thing I can think of to do at this time.

Bert and I are doing exactly that with our worldly wealth because we believe, as do many economic pundits, that the market will take a quick bounce, then crash. Following that, there will be a serious
deflation (during which prices will fall) and then a rapid and disastrous hyperinflation.

The $6 trillion or more locked up in IRAs and 401s will be too big a plum for the US Government to resist and they will, we believe, gobble them up and force them into Treasury Bonds and then “promise” a low rate of annual return (3% above inflation has been proposed to the Congress).

Once that happens, of course, they will be less than worthless. If hyperinflation sets in, there will be no way the US printing presses can roll fast enough to satisfy that promise and the entire system will collapse.

Not good. So we need to do several things individually and as a community, as I see it.

First, those of us who are thinking about entering into BIC arrangements, either whole ones or partial ones, should seriously move forward. We have excellent forward thrusts waiting only for the
capital to bring them to fruition.

Phase 1: The Foundation has acquired coffee rights to an initial coffee finca. The Founders have used their own funds, demonstrating their commitment to moving assets from dollars to real values, to purchase a small, all natural coffee finca. The Hartmann coffee family is handling the blending, roasting and packaging. The entire crop is under contract to the Foundation to be used to raise funds for Foundation projects. The first harvest is occurring right now and the Foundation has authority to market Valley of the Moonâ„¢ Brand this holiday season. An initial emailing to over 150,000 interested persons occurred November 9, 2008. The response was acceptable and showed the potential of the product, selling about 500 bags. We still have 5,600 bags ready for sale.

Phase 2: Acquisition of small finca(s) with casa and out-building on which our self sustaining, BeyondOrganic™ BioDynamic Zero Emissions ™ farm and farm school, Natural Medical Center and Wellness Facility, Community and Arts Center, School, hotel facilities and homes can be located. Value: Est. $800,000 [this should include a mix of payment, note and price reduction [donation] which this acquisition will entail.] Time line: 60 – 120 days. Opportunities may present themselves which makes it prudent to separate, rather than co-locate the residence/wellness center/seminar center and the farm/farm school. Should that choice be made, the relationship between the various components of the VotM system would be developed carefully to make sure that these units supported one another fully. Currently under letter of intent are two of three parcels with four main buildings (3 houses and a farm building) and five greenhouses covering a hectare growing area, for specialty organic herb and other high value crops.

Part 1 of Phase 2 of the Project is being completed: the purchase of the approximately 2 acres of land where the Seminar Center, Hotel, Headquarters, Medical Center, Intensive Agriculture classrooms and movement center will be located. We are waiting for the final contract to be prepared. At the signing of that contract, the title to both pieces of land goes into our name so that we can borrow against one or both in order to raise capital for improvements if we so choose.

Part 2 of Phase 2 of the Project is being readied: the purchase of the farm with the Greenhouses. We have a variety of projects in mind to make that land even more profitable than it already is now. When we get possession of the second piece (the farm) when we pay for it. Making that payment takes us into Phases 3 and 4.

Phase 3: At the same time as Phase Four, identify, fund and purchase land for residential use. Design and construct facilities, VotMâ„¢. Cost: up to several million dollars. We have identified several smaller sites near the properties in Phase 2 that are ideal for home sites. These can be purchased by the Foundation as funding becomes available. Time line: varied.

Phase 4: Purchase or acquisition of several coffee, animal and produce finca(s) for the Future of Farming Land Trustâ„¢ to demonstrate the application of BeyondOrganicâ„¢, BioDynamic, Zero Emissions (BODY-ZE) agricultural techniques, and to benefit the farming managers (who will have donated their land to the Foundation land trust) through the application of modern means and methods without reliance upon dangerous chemicals and, ultimately, value-destroying technologies. Cost: varies from purchase to donation. Time line: varied.

Phase 5: Development and management of the Valley of the Moonâ„¢ Wellness Center, Spa, hotel and amenities. Cost: $2,000,000. Time line: Initial Seminar Program will begin 2009 at the Phase 2 site. The full development of the Wellness Spa facility time line will depend on whether a structure needs to be created or whether an existing building is being renovated. This will clearly speed the timeline for this phase.

We have come very far in a short time and here is my idea: Each of you has people whom you talk to or correspond with who are worried about what is happening in the US and worried about their own personal well-being or perhaps that of their retirement fund, savings and investments, etc. You are in a strong position to spread the word about Panama and the Natural Solutions Foundation’s work here.

When you tell people about the project, you can tell them about the 1. Possibility of becoming a participant through a 100% tax deductible donation to the Natural Solutions Foundation (US) with a BIC here in Panama. People interested in any of these options, by the way, should talk with Ralph, ralph.fucetola@usa.net, 973-300-4594.

2. Possibility of a solid off-shore investment for their IRAs, 401s or capital. IRAs and 401s are considered loans and are repaid at the prime interest rate of Banco National de Panama, currently 4% (which infinitely more than the 0% prime in the US) and traditionally higher than the US prime.

3. Possibility of a loan at the same rates as No. 2

4. Possibility of a tax exempt donation.

Remember, when you bring in someone who provides funds, your BIC increases in value by 5% of the amount of those funds!

And, of course, if you are ready to donate for your own whole or partial BIC, we would be very glad of that.

One of our members has put up a $50K matching loan: if we raise another $50K he will lend us that amount of money. He does not want to feel that there are only a few people interested enough to put their money forward. He also is ready to place a substantial amount of IRA funds so he is looking for new blood, as they say, at the same time. So, frankly, are we.
