[Dr. Laibow and Gen. Stubblebine are still in Italy after the Codex meeting and this is what she just posted at the NSF-Panama Yahoo!Groups Forum. rf]
Hi,
I am 40 minutes outside of Rome on a magnificent Organic farm. We did not expect to spend the whole week here, but that is what happened. Long story. Suffice it to say that the “big heirloom, organic seed guy” that we came to meet, buy seeds from, visit the production facilities/farm of, etc, decided not to meet with us despite the fact that we had an appointment going back many weeks.
Not sure what that is about, but I will tell you that as soon as I started to talk with him on the phone about the fact that Monsanto is buying up heirloom and organic seed companies like crazy (I happen to know that is happening in Europe at the same frenetic rate that it is happening in the US), he got off the phone about as quickly as he could, not even stopping to consider whether he was suddenly no longer even slightly courteous. So we are coming home without the Italian heirloom seeds I was hoping for.
Never the less, we have accomplished a great deal here at the lovely farm and gotten some valuable ideas for VotM!
Codex Reports are up on our Health Freedom Blog – if you haven’t read them, please do.

So is my YouTube video about Codex’s pretensions.

One of the things afoot is that we WILL be pushing to take the Codex “seat” accorded to “HEALTH FREEDOM” away from the totally mute, totally inert organization which has, and hogs, it. This has to do with food, friends, global growing rights.
And the VotM Eco Demonstration project is ABOUT reclaiming the production of food for all of us.
I just shot two videos, one called “Food On the Hoof” and the other on Organic Standards which we will be posting soon.
Oh, by the way, if you are planning on coming to help build the new cabins for the Noble Bugle families who live on our coffee finca and pick your magnificent Valley of the Moon Coffee (www.ValleyoftheMoonCoffee.org), here is some
information that we have been sending out to people who are interested:
Dear __________,
Dr. Rima told me that you are interested in our August Panama Internship Program.
Let’s stay in touch since the plans won’t be finalized until Rima and Bert return to Panama next week. [We’ll be back on the 13th in Panama City, back on July 14 in Volcan unless we have an appointment with the new President and Vice President of Panama — which is still being worked on even as I write – REL]
Have you joined the NSCC forum and filled out the skills data base?

And how about the Internship program page: http://www.natsol.org

What else? Well, food and freedom are getting closer and closer: food is the battle ground that Henry Kissinger said it was in 1974. I suppose Genghis Khan said the same thing on the steppes of Mongolia: every conqueror know that: control the food, you control (or eliminate) the people.
The Russians knew that when they “pursued a scorched earth policy” in Finland. So did Sherman on his deadly “March to the Sea”.

Did I leave anything out? Oh, yes! JOY! The joy of creating, sharing,
spreading, offering and loving.
I really miss being home in Panama. You know, Gen. Bert and I have traveled all over the world, pretty much, and lived in a lot of places, some of them really, really beautiful. I regard Panama as my home, though, and I look forward to having you feel the same way. Getting back home where our Seminar / Wellness Center is nearly ready is going to be so wonderful!
On a more troublesome note, the “kill the offshore investment options/havens” crowd are at it again.
As Ralph says over and over, the IRA/401 money in the US is the last pool of “real” money left and “they” want control of it.
Last October, there was talk by Pelosi of turning that money into Treasury Bonds with a 3% return “guaranteed” by the US Government’s sound fiscal policy (Wanna buy a bridge, anybody?)
Well, they stopped talking about it for a while, but they are back at it. We believe that moving your IRA or, if you can, your 401 retirement fund NOW while you still can is a sound move.
As many of you know, I have invested what was left of my 401 in the Valley of the Moon Corp.
When we first proposed the program, it was not possible to secure a BIC with 401 or IRA funds so they were a simple loan. Now, through our continued research, it is, indeed, possible to use those funds to secure a full or partial BIC, meaning that you can then build your home on your buildable lot if you have a full BIC (or not, as you prefer) and be a full or partial participant using your BIC status to do so.
This was a real breakthrough.
Please go to our website, http://www.HealthFreedomUSA.org/?page_id=2002, click on the Sustainable IRA Webinar tab and spend an hour with Ralph taking this highly informative course. Then call him at 973-300-4594 to discuss your particular situation.

Let’s be frank: we have a lot, A LOT, of people on this forum (and on our eAlert) who are holding back to see what happens next. I can understand that. We also have some deeply committed people who have actually committed money either as a loan, as an IRA investment or both.
Bert and I have invested every penny we have, and then quite a bit more in getting to where we are. You can certainly see/feel/experience our commitment, along with Ralph’s, especially if you come visit us.
But we need people to do what those other pioneers have done: IF you want to live in/work in/ profit from the Valley of the Moon, and you are holding back to see what happens, consider this: if everyone does that, and we do not have the necessary seed funding, how do you anticipate that that will happen?
Your donations are tax deductible in the US (NOT your IRA/401K), your BIC can be assigned and both BICs and investments pay interest at the Banco National de Panama prime rate.
So we are at the point where you need to make funds available so that we can make it happen collectively. It is that simple. This is how we will “discover, develop, demonstrate and disseminate” Natural Solutions!
Lots of people have come to visit and many of them have made strong verbal commitments. We are waiting for them to follow through with the money to buy the land to build the house(s) that Jack and Jill and Sam and Sally live in…
Contact me. Contact Ralph. As the spiritual says, for those of you who have not already bought your ticket, “Get on Board, Little Children, There’s Room for Many a More!”
Warmly,
Rima
