Silly Season

Time for Health Freedom Silly Season to End

Silly Season Science is the product of shameless intellectual prostitution in which science for hire pumps out whatever it is told to produce. A prime example from the supposedly reputable British paper, The Guardian:

“Healthy Eating Can be Sign of Serious Psychological Disorder”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/aug/16/orthorexia-mental-health-eating-disorder

Health Freedom Silly Season has to end, now. You see, Health Freedom organizations are notorious for NOT working together. You know, this one says this, and the other one says that and pretty soon you don’t care “who struck John” and you are sick of all the gore! That’s one of the classic disinformation techniques and juvenile people are easily stimulated to behave like tantrum-ing toddlers. You have noticed that the Natural Solutions Foundation does not waste its time, or yours, with that kind of sniping and in-fighting. Instead, we focus on the problems, find solutions and tell you what we think is going on, asking for your help.

But when the folks that like to call themselves part of the Health Freedom movement behave that way, it means they are notoriously shooting themselves in the foot. Since they are supposed to be working for you, that also means they are not doing their job protecting your interests. If they had been, perhaps we would not be in this mess and perhaps General Bert and I would still be running our drug-free practice of medicine.

This issue, mandatory/unapproved vaccination, is really the ultimate litmus test: either the other “Health Freedom” organizations actually get on board and join us in protecting your rights to stop this dangerous – possibly lethal – FDA idiocy or they are, in fact, NOT health freedom anythings.

High Road To Survival

You see, once again, as we continue to do, the Natural Solutions Foundation is offering the hand of literally life-saving collaboration to any and all other health freedom organizations and advocates. Those who join us are welcome, no matter how inappropriate or inflammatory their previous bad behavior and disinformation activities have been. This is literally a matter of YOUR life and death.

Those who do not join us are making who they are, and who they work for, clear by marginalizing themselves.

Please contact the health freedom organizations of your choice to urge them in the strongest terms to get on board with this powerful initiative. If they resist, ask them to explain, in writing, why they are not taking this opportunity to work for your health and freedom, and that of the other supporters/members of the group. Insist on real reasons for their inaction, not merely unsupported assertions and, if they cannot provide them, walk away. They are not on your side. They just proved it.

On the other hand, smart non-governmental organizations are happy to cooperate to make sure Health Freedom can survive. For example, we’ve just accepted DownSize DCs invitation to join its coalition partners in www.ConsumerCenteredHealthcare.org to “Stop current efforts to expand government control of health care – Roll back existing government involvement and restore free market competition” No matter what healthcare system exists, we want it to a system that allows people the freedom to make their own choices… and a politician and bureaucrat dominated system cannot do that! Whoever pays for it, your health care choices should be, must be, determined solely by you.

Real Health Freedom Leaders:
Koren, Laibow, Null…

Three leading health freedom advocate organizations banded together this week and, under the guidance of Ralph Fucetola, JD, Natural Solutions Foundation’s brilliant and skillful Counsel and Trustee, submitted a Citizens Petition (unlike an Internet Petition, a Citizens Petition is a powerful legal challenge which can have real impact on Policy) to the FDA demanding redress from the immanent harm posed by approval of attenuated and adjuvanted live virus vaccines for a trivial disease when not one of the vaccines have been tested for safety. You will recall that on July 23, 2009 the Fraud and Death Administration said that they will approve these vaccines in the absence of completed safety tests.

Remember, the pediatric tests of the vaccine now underway are to determine antibody response levels (dosage), NOT safety. And the vaccines being tested are NOT those with adjuvants.

The Health Freedom movement has been divided by disinformation and ego-based squabbles for decades. Enough. The issues are too important to let absurd accusations and personal turf struggles interfere any longer.

Health advocates, officials and doctors, along with and health freedom leaders, have all known for quite some time that the enormously profitable Swine Flu Vaccines are a vast windfall for Big Pharma and a horrific dangers for the rest of us.

The New York State Association of Nurses refused New York State’s Mandatory Vaccination regulation for mandatory health care worker vaccination without any provision for exemptions of any kind.

http://www.nysna.org/publications/newyorknurse/jul_aug/flu_shots.htm

In the UK, where the Daily Mail leaked two letters from their Health Protection Agency and a leading neurologist urging other neurologists to be on the lookout for an anticipated 800% rise in the incidence of Guillian Barre Syndrome, also known as Polio, following the upcoming MANDATORY Swine Flu vaccinations there. http://dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/120936/Alert-on-killer-side-effect-of-the-swine-flu-vaccine-/, nurses are so uneasy about the mandatory Swine Flu vaccine’s dangers, and the non-seriousness of the “Pandemic” disease, that 2/3 say they will either refuse the Swine Flu vaccine outright or are unsure that they will submit to it. In fact, only 1 nurse in 7 receives the seasonal flu vaccine in the UK anyway. Skepticism runs high among people in the know!

Legs

Legal Legs and Limps

Limping

Quite a number of legal actions have been filed in response to these dangers. Some are good, some are marginal and some make no sense at all. Click here,

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3170

for a look at the good, the bad and the just plain meaningless.

The Citizens Petition which we have filed with the FDA is, we believe, a highly effective way to exhaust our legal remedies so that we can rapidly and effectively move forward. We need your help, though. Your organizations and you (and your family, friends, contacts, etc.) all are invited to join the Petition and exercise your First Amendment Right for redress of grievances via a Petition to the Government.

Memorial

Six for the Cemetery?

All 6 Swine Flu vaccines which the FDA has announced it will approve BEFORE the completion of any safety testing are unsafe. Some or all will have squalene-based adjuvants. Some or all will have live attenuated virus (LAIV) vaccines which have been shown to

* Increase hospitalizations of children for all causes by 300%
* Cause wheezing and asthma,
* Communicate the vaccine disease to those with health problems and weak immune systems
* Add new bits of other viruses in the warm, wet, nutrient rich environment of a cell

BUT

* They provide little or any real or lasting immunity against the target disease.

Oil in water adjuvants such as sqalene or its related compounds have never been approved for injection in the US and, in fact, have been rejected by the FDA itself because they were “too dangerous to test in the United States”. Tragically, they were used against our own military creating the cataclysmic auto immune disorder known as “Gulf War Syndrome”.

Health Without Freedom?

Let’s make an incorrect assumption for a moment, just for the sake of argument. let’s assume that untested LAIV vaccines with deadly adjuvants were safe and effective. Even if they worked and were safe, is it OK with you to force your kids and you, too, to be vaccinated at someone else’s choice? I think not and I am quite certain that you think not, too.

Health freedom IS our first freedom and making this type of decision for ourselves IS the hall mark of freedom. Take each of these Action Steps once for each member of your family, then alert all your contact to do the same to help keep health freedom free – and help keep yourself alive!

Freedom to Stay Alive?
Da' Hangin' Judge
Justice Antonin Scalia

“Innocence Is No Reason Not To Execute”

I will bet that you thought that the Constitution of These United States gave you the right to a fair trial along with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, didn’t you? And you thought that innocence was a defense before the bar, didn’t you.

Well, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia thinks differently – very differently. Justice Scalia recently wrote that that there is nothing inherently un-constitutional about executing an innocent person.

In his dissenting opinion in the appeal of convicted – but innocent – felon Troy Anthony Davis, Justice Antonin Scalia took his Supreme Court colleagues to task for thinking that mere innocence is grounds to overturn a conviction: “This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is “actually” innocent. Quite to the contrary, we have repeatedly left that question unresolved, while expressing considerable doubt that any claim based on alleged “actual innocence” is constitutionally cognizable.”

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/08/17/scalia-actual-innocence/

Change You Can’t Conceive Of…

You do not have to be a lawyer to understand that the very atoms of the molecules of the thread of the fabric of the Constitution of These United States are being destroyed from within the so-called “Justice System”. If you think that your right to protect your body from dangerous pharmaceutical interventions will be protected by the Justice System as it is now, in light of this madness, think again.

With a Supreme Court of this type, we clearly want to impact the regulations BEFORE we ever get to the point of needing the Court’s help! To protect us all from the vaccines, we need to grab the legal system, which means, in this case, the FDA, by its metaphoric parts, and force it to protect us while we have access to it and can still control some of its actions. And for that, we need your help, in force. NOW!

Speaking of Rights, Does the US Have As Much Freedom of Speech as India? Apparently Not!

In the US, we like to think that our Constitutional system assures us of freedom of speech that we can rely upon, more than any other country.

In fact, however, the FDA imposes a profoundly un-American gag rule on what you can or cannot say – or learn – about the health benefits of food and food components and will put manufactures out of business if they tell you the truth about health freedom with legal methods or with their ax-wielding, gun-toting, dog-using goons called FDA Marshals.

Take Swine Flu (NOT the Swine Flu vaccine, of course – don’t take that!): The FDA has criminalized the discussion of ALL options to prevent, treat, mitigate or cure Swine flu except Swine Flu Vaccines and the [quite dangerous] anti viral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza.

http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/h1n1flu/

But my friend in India, the noted Dr. Leo Rebello, notes that although doctors at Kasturba Hospital of Infectious Diseases in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) maintain, falsely, that they don’t know why a baby born to a mother who supposedly had Swine Flu [although tests for Swine Flu are wrong 90% of the time, so how could they tell?- REL], they do, in fact, know why the baby died: it died because its mother was given Tamiflu!

He states, “The adverse or side-effects of Tamiflu are – delirium, hallucination, delusion, disturbances in consciousness, abnormal behavior and convulsions. Allergic reaction including severe rash, nausea, dizziness are the common reactions. Children under 12 months and pregnant and nursing mothers and those who are allergic to oseltamivir phosphate – the main ingredient – or any other ingredients in Tamiflu should not be given Tamiflu. H1N1 is a bio-weapon and Tamiflu in combination is designed to control the population. We will have on hand another tragedy like Thalidomide if Tamiflu is given so recklessly.”

Dr. Rebello goes on, in what the FDA has previously announced would be criminal speech if, for example, I were to tell you this information,

“There are much better, safer and cheaper Flu medicines in Ayurveda and Homeopathy. Amla which contains the highest level of Vitamin C as also Mosambi (sweet lime) and Santra (orange) and simple Nimbu Pani bring immediate relief in Flu.

In Homeopathy, as I have already written :

We have Arsenic Album 200 — cold, running nose, cough and feverishness.

Gelsemium Sempervirens 200 — headache, cold, running nose, bodyache.

Eupatorium Perfollatum 200 — bone pain, bodyache.

Bellis Perennis 200 — muscle pain, bodyache.

Bryonia Alba 200 — cold, cough, fever, headache, giddiness.”

If I were to tell you in the USA, as I could in India, that Nano silver, www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions, is outstandingly effective in killing this virus (and all others against which it has been tested) and then point you to an article by Gordon Peterson, PH D, which states,

“Antibiotic Drugs:

Antibiotic drugs provide no solution against the virus but can be very beneficial for pneumonia that develops later. A broad spectrum antibiotic should be used because there are numerous bacteria that can produce pneumonia. According to a Penn State publication, silver sol can be given with the antibiotics and produce up to a tenfold increase in antibiotic activity.

Nutritional Supplements

There are hundreds of supplements that can be of significant benefit for the immune system and even some that claim to have antiviral activity. The best proven choices for nutritional supplements come in the form of immune stimulants and wellness products. These include: immunity Vit C, B complex, folic acid, vit D (prevention) ginseng, Echinacea, garlic, probiotics, expectorants and silver sol.

Air Filters:

CDC recommends one in every room. HEPA air filters use silver to inactivate viruses and can effectively kill 99% of all bacteria, and viruses in minutes.

Water Purifiers

Proper hygiene and a water purifier are recommended by the CDC because the influenza virus can survive 100 hours in water. Get one that has a silver filter that can actually destroy the virus. Carbon, filtration, reverse osmosis does not destroy or remove the virus.

Topical Disinfectants:

Topical disinfectants are recommended by the CDC for use between each patient and can kill germs for 4-6 hours. Patients and health care professionals should use these 4 times a day or as needed. Silver so gel demonstrates effectiveness against some of the worst pathogens including: MRSA, VRE, Strep, and the other bacteria that cause pneumonia.

Silver Sol: [Silver Solution, www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions – REL]

Prescription drugs and vaccines “treat” and [may -REL] help prevent viral infection and disease but are not capable of totally controlling a dangerous new or novel virus. Nutritional supplements such as Vitamins, Minerals, Echinacea, Ginseng, Probiotics and many others have the ability to help boost immune function and improve natural defenses which results in some defense against disease causing viruses and the associated secondary infections

Silver Sol provides proven prevention and treatment against viral and bacterial infections, while there is nothing else with such broad spectrum benefits. In addition, Silver Sol can be safely taken every day for prevention where it has been shown to provide protection against the very dangerous Bird flu H5N1.

The combination of antibiotics with Silver Sol has been shown to enhance antibiotic function by as much as ten fold due to the fact that Silver Sol kills the residual pathogens that the antibiotics cannot. Results of the combination of 19 different prescription antibiotics and silver sol demonstrate safe additive and/or synergistic benefits across 7 different pathogenic strains (Staphylococcus, MRSA, E coli, Pseudomonas arugenosa, Salmonella and Streptococcus). The results of this combination therapy result in significant pathogenic destruction while helping to reduce bacterial resistance (19). This can be attributed to the fact that Silver Sol does not produce resistance, nor does it destroy the beneficial intestinal probiotic bacteria.

Discussion:

…It is evident that the newly patented EPA certified and FDA approved Silver Sol technology provides tremendous treatment options for prevention and combination therapies. Silver Sol gel can help stop viral spread on the most contagious areas like hands, nose, mouth and skin. It is sufficiently documented and proven to be considered to be a first line of defense against Influenza and a significant companion to antiviral and antibacterial drug regimens topically and orally.”

Swine Flu Influenza Type A/H1N1 Protection for Health Care Practitioners and Their Patients, http://www.worldhealth.net/news/swine_flu_influenza_type_a_h1n1_protecti4

If I said that, I would be violating the FDA’s regulations which, in the US, have the strength of law.

Noble-Bugle Child

Two for One Update

Health freedom, your freedom, is facing enormous challenges right now. I cannot remember them coming so fast, or so furious. And the Natural Solutions Foundation is working on the most important ones of all:

1. Codex-i-fication of our Food Supply through really awful bills like HR 2749 which, if passed as a sister bill by the US Senate will be nothing short of a full blown disaster for health and freedom. You can take action by informing your Senator in person (use our talking points) and by email:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

Tell them this (sic) “food Safety” bill is NOT what you want. You can visit our Three for Liberty Campaign,

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3209

for background information and talking points leaflets.

2. Free Health Speech being gagged

3. State and Federal mandated Swine Flu

You can imagine that keeping up with health freedom is an enormous job which requires diverse skills and talents. You can also imagine that we need hands, but not just any hands: hands that are connected minds, hearts and brains.

That is why we are asking for volunteers for the Natural Solutions Foundation and, at the same time, volunteers for our Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org, in Volcan, Panama.

Help Support Natural Solutions through Networking

August 19th, 2009

Help Support Natural Solutions

Dear Friends Of Natural Solutions Foundation :

Good supporters of Natural Solutions tell us we have great opportunity with a marketing network program that will allow you to Support our Health Freedom efforts through your networking activities.

We know… that the “Big Boys” have “hundreds of ways” to keep us all strapped down financially, especially through the various levels of taxation and inflation. But now we have discovered a “Networking Benefits Program” that is one direct answer to this constant dilemma and might be your Hedge Against Inflation!

This particular company is a Subscription Based, Educational and Information Services Company with a “Benefits Package” that is already “second to none.” We’ve looked for such a community support network before, and none have worked as we hoped; this one appears different.

Please go to the following two web sites to Learn More; www.27EqualsFreedom.com and www.2plus7.com .

The product this network offers is expert opinion information and services. We expect to be offering information through it, to reach out to ever wider circles of influence.

Beyond the scope of what we describe above, the network has also created a “State-Of-The-Art” Income Generator for people who need to generate funds, with a “Daily Pay Program.” So, even our Supporters who are unemployed, can now have an opportunity to get back on their feet, while Supporting the Foundation.

After reviewing the above Web-Sites, and should you wish to participate with us, we have also implemented a very special “Lead-Share Program” for ALL of The Supporters of NSF. It is our way of saying Thank You!

WHEN YOU “JOIN” WITH US, you will be placed within our own Automatic Placement up and down-line building program that places “people under other people” by twos. The reason we are doing this, is because, when you have two people signed up under YOU, you get Your Monthly Subscription for FREE!!! That’s right… FREE for Life. This way, we can share the power of our growing supporter base with those of you who want to network this way.

This company just opened officially on July 18th, 2009 and they have already paid out over $320,000.00 in Bonus Commissions, in over sixty nations of the world !!! It appears this Company is setting a NEW Standard in Marketing and is ready to break every marketing record, for Growth, Service and Commissions.

Should you wish to participate and Support the Foundation, please call this number in the U.S. right away, where you can speak to our friend Desert Owl who is coordinating this project: 304-629-7169.

For those out-side the U.S. Use Skype : FreeAmericaRadio

By the way, Desert Owl’s web site is: www.therealpublicradio.net

Don’t delay… We are working on a first come first serve basis. Thank You For considering this opportunity to support and serve!

We Thank You For Your Support !!!

September 4, 2009 Update: Preparations for Legal Action to “Stop the Shot.”
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3452

August 31, 2009 Update: FDA Docket Number issued:
http://www.HealthFreedomUSA.org/?p=3429

August 17, 2009 – Led by such health freedom luminaries as Gary Null, PhD, Human Nutrition & Public Health Science, Rima E. Laibow, MD, Medical Director of the Natural Solutions Foundation, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org, and Dr. Tedd Koren, DC of Citizens for Health Choice, we filed a formal Citizens Petition to the FDA today expressing our serious concerns about the approval of dangerous Swine Flu vaccines BEFORE ANY SAFETY TESTING IS COMPLETED. A Citizens Petition, unlike an internet petition, is a formal statement of grievance which challenges the government’s actions, asks for specific protection and redress, as provided for by the Constitution of These United States:

“Pursuant to the Constitution of the United States of America, First Amendment, Right to Petition for Redress of Grievances the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. §§ 321 et seq., and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. § 553(e), to amend the FDA’s rules respecting the safety, effectiveness and availability of vaccines said to be useful for swine flu (A-H1N1-09)…”

The goal of this regulatory intervention is to stop FDA’s headlong, dangerous and unjustified rush to approve the so-called “swine flu” vaccination, even before safety testing has been completed. If FDA fails to act on our Petition in a timely fashion, a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) can be sought from the Federal Courts to stop the alleged “emergency” approval process.

The Petition details, in ten pages of carefully structured and well supported reasoning, the legal and factual basis for a formal stay of the approval process, citing issues of transparency and science-based decision making, which the President claims to be the hallmarks of his Administration. The FDA has failed to follow statutory and case law requirements for the emergency approval of these un-insurable, untested and unproven vaccines which have been recently cited for their potential dangers to health and safety here and abroad.

Within the next couple days, when a formal Docket Number is issued, Natural Solutions Foundation will set up an Action Item to allow the public to express support to “Stay the Shot”, Stop the Swine Flu Vaccine rush to approval. That link will be posted here.

FDA requires a snail-mail copy of a signed document to issue a Citizens Petition docket number. You can track the progress of the document sent today with this US Postal Service tracking number: EO 964 064 326 US.

Here is what the Petition demands:

(a) The first action sought is an emergency Temporary Stay of the pending Vaccine approval applications. The applications should be denied. Petitioners request a Public Hearing. Petitioners are in immanent peril of irreparable harm if the Temporary Stay is not granted immediately.

(b) Additionally, the Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to open and accept public comments and include, as part of any approval of the Vaccines, requiring strong warnings to the public of each age groups, geographic location and any other relevant demographics, that a process be developed for individuals to opt out of any mandatory program and that clear instructions be given on the risk and benefits of the vaccine:

“This Vaccine has not undergone FDA safety or efficacy testing and its risks are unknown in all age groups. This Vaccine contains ingredients previously rejected for use in the United State and/or never evaluated by the FDA which have been shown in animal studies to cause significant adverse biological response when injected.”

(c) Furthermore, the Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to recommend to all implementing agencies, such as State Departments of Health that the Vaccines not be subject to any legal mandate requiring their use by any class of persons in order for such persons to receive government services, or to work in particular employments, or to travel or to attend any public places or for any other purpose.

(d) The Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to recommend to all implementing agencies, such as State Departments of Health that these un-insurable, unproven and untested Vaccines not be subject to any legal mandate, whether direct or indirect, perceived or actual, requiring their use by any class of persons in order for such persons to receive government services, such as schooling, or to work in particular employments, such as first responders or health care workers, or to travel or to attend any public places or for any other purpose.

(e) The Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to recommend voluntary Self-Shielding at home in preference to vaccination or removal to FEMA or other relocation facilities in the event of a Declared Pandemic Emergency.

The petitioners believe that halting these approvals is literally a matter of life and dealth since the new vaccines are made with adjuvants based on injected oil-in-water preparations based on squalene which are known to cause profound, chronic inflammatory response throughout the body, leading to ailments similar to those known was “Gulf War Syndrome”. These adjuvants, or immune system irritants, are so toxic that they have been rejected for testing in the US previously and no vaccine containing them has ever been approved in the US.

Dated: August 17, 2009 – rev.1.01 (08.23.09)

Pursuant to the Constitution of the United States of America, First Amendment, Right to Petition for Redress of Grievances, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. §§ 321 et seq., the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. § 553(e), 21 C.F.R. 10.20 and 10.30 (Citizens Petition) and, to the extent applicable, 21 C.F.R. 10.35, to amend the FDA’s rules respecting the safety, effectiveness and availability of vaccines said to be useful for swine flu (A-H1N1-09), the undersigned Petitioners PETITION the Unites States, to wit:

Introduction

1. This Petition is brought before the Executive Authority of the United States of America, mindful of the President’s call for transparency in government and science-based decision-making. This Revision 1.01 of the Petition has been modified in form to meet the terms of applicable portions of 21 C.F.R. 10.20 – 35. Petitioners, however, note that this Petition is grounded in the Constitutional Right to Petition which may not be “abridged” by Government and therefore any regulatory requirements are subordinate to that primary source of authority for this Petition. In so far as any of the Petitioners are protected under the RFRA, all rights are reserved under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA – P.L. 103-141).

The Petitioners therefore have included Addendum 1.1 in this Petition to address the formal requirements of Section 10.30: A. Action requested; B. Statement of Grounds; C. Environmental Impact/Exemption and D. Economic Impact. Furthermore, in so far as Sec. 10.35 (Stay of Actions) may apply, the Petitioners have included Addendum 1.2 to this Petition to address the formal requirements of Section 10.35: A. Decision Involved and B. Action Requested. Finally, Petitioners append to this Petition actual copies of non-governmental Citations referenced in Appendix B, which has been further amended to meet the “unfavorable representative data” requirement of the Sec. 10.30 Certification format.

2. Petitioners are several nongovernmental organizations involved in health care civil rights and several individuals who are adversely impacted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) actions referred to in this Petition, and all persons who join in this Petition hereafter.

3. This Petition is submitted to request specific action by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) (the Federal Agencies) within the scope of the mandated duties thereof, in order to exhaust administrative remedies.

4. The primary purpose of the Petition is to seek emergency actions with regard to the imminent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) granting of various drug-interest commercial applications or approval and widespread use of various so-called “H1N1” “A-H1N1-09” or “Swine Flu” vaccines (herein, the Vaccines).

5. The Vaccine Approvals are being treated as emergency drug approvals, but are being sought without even minimal science-based safety testing or testing for clinical efficacy in preventing disease, and with the inclusion of dangerous adjuvants, including Mercury, and squalene, which has never been heretofore approved as a vaccine adjuvant. Legal immunity has been granted a priori to the manufactures, the Federal Government and its agents in the event of harm or death from these vaccines.

6. a. As one example, within the past two weeks, the British Neurological Surveillance Unit (BNSU) warned of “the Government’s concern about releasing a vaccine of unknown safety.” and has alerted its members to be on the alert for an up to 8-fold increase in Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) due to the Vaccines that are the subject of this Petition.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1206807/Swine-flu-jab-link-killer-nerve-disease-Leaked-letter-reveals-concern-neurologists-25-deaths-America.html#ixzz0OJSgKn4b

b. The United States government has paid nearly two billion dollars to the families of individuals who have been killed or maimed by vaccines as part the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. A massive increase in the use of vaccines such as the swine flu vaccine that is the subject of this petition will be likely to significantly increase the number of individuals harmed by vaccines.

See: http://www.usdoj.gov/civil/torts/const/vicp/about.htm

Redress Sought

7. (a) The first action sought is an emergency Temporary Stay of the pending Vaccine approval applications. The applications should be denied. Petitioners request a Public Hearing. Petitioners are in imminent peril of irreparable harm if the Temporary Stay is not granted immediately.

(b) Additionally, the Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to open and accept public comments and include, as part of any approval of the Vaccines, requiring strong warnings to the public, as mandated by the United States Supreme Court in another context, Thompson v. Western States Medical Center – 535 U.S. 357, 2002:

“If the First Amendment means anything, it means that regulating speech must be a last – not first – resort. … We have previously rejected the notion that the Government has an interest in preventing the dissemination of truthful commercial information in order to prevent members of the public from making bad decisions with the information.”

“Even if the Government did argue that it had an interest in preventing misleading advertisements, this interest could be satisfied by the far less restrictive alternative of requiring each compounded drug to be labeled with a warning that the drug had not undergone FDA testing and that its risks were unknown.”

The warning should therefore read: “This Vaccine has not undergone FDA safety or efficacy testing and its risks are unknown in all age groups. This Vaccine contains ingredients previously rejected for use in the United State and/or never evaluated by the FDA which have been shown in animal studies to cause significant adverse biological response when injected.”

The warning should further advise that should the recipient experience an adverse event or death from the vaccine, the vaccine manufacturers, government and government agencies have no liability, and the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program does not currently provide for possible compensation to victims of the Vaccines.

(c) The Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to engage in a vigorous public information campaign, interleaved with their promotion of the Vaccines, and given equal prominence in type face, media announcements, web presence and other methods of public information used to promote the Vaccines, stating that the Vaccines contain ingredients previously rejected for use in the United State and/or never evaluated by the FDA which have been shown in animal studies to cause significant adverse biological response when injected. And, further that should the recipient experience an adverse event or death from the vaccine, the vaccine manufacturers, government and government agencies have no liability, and the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program does not currently provide for possible compensation to victims of the Vaccines.

(d) The Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to recommend to all implementing agencies, such as State Departments of Health, that these uninsurable, unproven and untested Vaccines not be subject to any legal mandate, whether direct or indirect, perceived or actual, requiring their use by any class of persons in order for such persons to receive government services, such as schooling, or to work in particular employments, such as first responders or health care workers, or to travel or to attend any public places or for any other purpose.

(e) The Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to recommend voluntary Self-Shielding at home in preference to vaccination or removal to FEMA or other relocation facilities in the event of a Declared Pandemic Emergency.

Legal Basis for Relief

8. As an Executive Department Agency, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) must “Take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” (Article II, Section3, United States Constitution).

9. This Petition is grounded in fundamental principles of inalienable right, law and equity.

10. The primary legal basis for submitting this Petition to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States: “Congress shall make no law…abridging… the right of the people… to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Additionally, the First Amendment Freedom of Speech, requiring transparency in government, as well as Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth and Fourteenth Amendments impact the arguments herein.

11. Petitioners also cite: the World Medical Association 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. See: http://www.wma.net/e/policy/b3.htm. This Declaration has the force of International Law, to which the United States is a party, and it clearly forbids experimental medication or medication without fully informed consent, as does United States law, for example, 42 U.S.C. 289(a).

12. The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights – Article 12 – “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.” See: http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/ and the Geneva Conventions: Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and Relating to the Protection of Victims of Non-International Armed Conflicts (Protocol II) – Article 17.-Prohibition of forced movement of civilians:

“1. The displacement of the civilian population shall not be ordered for reasons related to the conflict unless the security of the civilians involved or imperative military reasons so demand.
Should such displacements have to be carried out, all possible measures shall be taken in order that the civilian population may be received under satisfactory conditions of shelter, hygiene, health, safety and nutrition.

2. Civilians shall not be compelled to leave their own territory for reasons connected with the conflict.”

See: http://www2.ohchr.org/english/law/protocol2.htm

13. Current law and regulations provide for involuntary Provisional Quarantine, with removal, following refusal of persons to submit to vaccination with the untested, uninsurable, non-voluntary “informed consent” Vaccines. The Agency regulations should be amended to provide for voluntary Self-Shielding, Self-Quarantine and Self-Isolation as permitted alternatives.

14. Bivens v. Six Unknown-Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388, 396-397, (1971); Carison v. Green, 466 U.S. 14, 18-19 (1980). – These cases construe “42 USC § 300aa-31” with its “more likely than not” evidentiary burden and its Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc, 509 U.S. 579, 113 S.Ct 2786, 2797 (1993), prohibition against expert opinion reliance upon poor quality and flawed data, the surviving good quality data shows the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is statutorily required to reject the Vaccines approval since it “more likely than not” caused numerous neurological and immune system pandemics (e.g., autism, neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, etc). Since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) know of this linking data and intentionally exposed the public to these serous risks of harm, while attempting to hide/alter the data that showed the harm, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) also violated the 14th Amendment’s “Constitutional Safety Guarantees.” Under these egregious and horrifying circumstances, both Sec. 300aa-31 and a 28 USC § 1331 “Bivens Action” would authorize injunctive relief, and where warranted, damages.

15. Jacobson v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905), in which the Supreme Court of the United States, prior to the establishment of the Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act revisions that established Federal pre-emption of drug approvals, gave deference to the Supreme Court of Massachusetts in an involuntary vaccination matter, also contains clear language authorizing Federal intervention in circumstances that are clearly present with regard to the Vaccines involved in this Petition.

“It is easy, for instance, to suppose the case of an adult who is embraced by the mere words of the act, but yet to subject whom to vaccination in a particular condition of his health or body, would be cruel and inhuman in the last degree. We are not to be understood as holding that the statute was intended to be applied to such a case, or, if it was so intended, that the judiciary would not be competent to interfere and protect the health and life of the individual concerned. “All laws,” this court has said, “should receive a sensible construction. General terms should be so limited in their application as not to lead to injustice, oppression or absurd consequence. It will always, therefore, be presumed that the legislature intended exceptions to its language which would avoid results of that character. The reason of the law in such cases should prevail over its letter.” United States v. Kirby, 7 Wall. 482; Lau Ow Bew v. United States, 144 U.S. 47, 58. Until otherwise informed by the highest court of Massachusetts we are not inclined to hold that the statute establishes the absolute rule that an adult must be vaccinated if it be apparent or can be shown with reasonable certainty that he is not at the time a fit subject of vaccination or that vaccination, by reason of his then condition, would seriously impair his health or probably cause his death.”

16. The Acts establishing the authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) being herein petitioned are also a legal basis for the Petition. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) exist to protect the public, within the limits established by the Constitution of the United States of America. However, Article 16 of the original enabling legislation that created the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) indicates, in effect, that a primary purpose is to promote, protect and promulgate the pharmaceutical industry.

17. Petitioners note the statute in the derogation of the common law and Constitutional limitations, establishing certain exemptions from liability of Vaccine Injuries, 42 USC 300aa-16 (and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, there under). This law is further cited as a law that must be strictly construed in favor of patients, guardians, parents and children even if such construction is against the economic interests of the drug industry and other persons exempt there under.

18. Petitioners note that, given the exceptional exemption given to both manufactures of the Vaccines and employees of the Federal Agencies and their designees which purports to eliminate the possibility of redress through the Courts by the public in the event that individuals suffer irreversible harm or death, it is especially important that careful notification and protection be offered to the public in the face of instructions or compulsions to accept the use of the Vaccines which contain ingredients previously rejected for use in the United State and/or never evaluated by the FDA which have been shown in animal studies to cause significant adverse biological response when injected.

19. The total amount that the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid in compensation since its 1989 founding is $1,884,145,255.29, however, this program does not currently list the Vaccines as being ones for which compensation under this program may be had.

See: http://www.hrsa.gov/Vaccinecompensation/statistics_report.htm

20. Basic common law principles prohibit forced acquiescence under duress and limited or intentionally distorted information, as exemplified by the United States Supreme Court decision in the case of Thompson v Western States Medical Centers – 535 U.S. 357 (2002). The Petitioners note with concern that FDA regulation permits a choice under duress upon limited and distorted information such that those refusing the Vaccines in a Pandemic Emergency situation face incarceration/quarantine under Provisional Quarantine regulations in violation of the prohibitions mentioned above against forced acquiescence under duress and limited or intentionally distorted information.

21. Additionally, the Statutes authorizing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) contain general provisions that support the actions requested in this petition. Federal Law includes provisions that grant the responsible persons in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) broad authority to promulgate rules and regulations “necessary to carry out the Act[s].”

22. The Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (FD&C Act) Mission Statement requires that “…(B) human and veterinary drugs are safe and effective…” (21 USC §393(b)(2)). The Act had been amended repeatedly, to require that no drug be approved unless it is proven “safe and effective.”

This clear legal requirement is explained by the Agency on its web site:

“In October 1962, Congress passed the Kefauver-Harris Drug Amendments to the Federal FD&C Act. Before marketing a drug, firms now had to prove not only safety, but also provide substantial evidence of effectiveness for the product’s intended use. Temple says, “That evidence had to consist of adequate and well-controlled studies, a revolutionary requirement.”

“Also critically, the 1962 amendments required that the FDA specifically approve the marketing application before the drug could be marketed, another major change.” The Kefauver-Harris Drug Amendments also asked the Secretary to establish rules of investigation of new drugs, including a requirement for the informed consent of study subjects. The amendments also formalized good manufacturing practices, required that adverse events be reported, and transferred the regulation of prescription drug advertising from the Federal Trade Commission to the FDA.”

See: http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/WhatWeDo/History/ProductRegulation/PromotingSafeandEffectiveDrugsfor100Years/default.htm

23. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) should issue the actions requested herein as an Interim Final Rule without first completing Notice and Comment, Risk Assessment, and Cost-Benefit Analysis. Additionally, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) should not issue the drug-industry requested vaccine approvals as an emergency matter.

24. Under ordinary circumstances, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) must comply with procedural requirements under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) and the specific Acts authorizing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), including the use of notice-and-comment rulemaking and the completion of a risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis before issuance of a new rule. However, both Acts provide for exceptions to those requirements for circumstances such as those present here (with regard to the Petitioners herein, but not with regard to the drug-industry applications), where the continuation of current policy (the emergency approval of the Vaccines) would constitute an imminent threat to public safety and any delay in the policy-making the Petitioners herein would be contrary to the public interest.

25. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) should only avail itself of those statutory exceptions with regard with Petitioner’s request herein and promulgate the requested policies while first providing the public with reasonable notice under these circumstances and an opportunity for comment and before completing a full risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) should first adopt the policy as an “interim-final rule,” which would become binding upon publication (or within a time certain; for example, a week after publication) and subsequently provide for public comment and complete its risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis. If such a time period is provided for public comment and the completion of risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) should make no declaration, take no action, approve no product or Vaccine related to this situation during such period.

26. The Requested Actions of Petitioners herein satisfy the “good cause” exception to the Administrative Procedure Act’s (APA) requirement for notice and comment, while the application of that exception should not apply to the Vaccine applications.

27. The Administrative Procedures Act (APA) provides that full notice-and-comment rulemaking is not required when an agency “for good cause finds (and incorporates the finding and a brief statement of the reasons therefore in the rules issued) that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.” 5 U.S.C. Section 553(b)(B) The good cause exception “is an important safety valve to be used where delay would do real harm.” United States Steel v EPA, 595 F.2d207, 214 (5th Cir. 1979). According to the legislative history of the provision, “impracticable” means a situation in which the due and required execution of the agency functions would be unavoidably prevented by its undertaking public rule-making proceedings.” S. Rep. No. 752, 79thCong., 1st Sess., at 16 (1945). It has been held, determining “impracticality” requires analysis in practical terms of the particular statutory-agency setting and the reasons why agency action could not await notice and comment. American Transfer & Storage Company v. ICC, 719 F. 2d 1283, 1295 (5th Cir. 1983).

28. The same urgency which motivates the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to move forward with excessive rapidly and inappropriate zeal, in the light of an alleged pandemic threat (declared despite the mild nature of the supposed pandemic disease) should motivate the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to move forward with the measures proposed by Petitioners herein to protect both the public’s welfare and their right to fully informed consent and transparency.

29. Below are listed three of numerous instances in which courts have upheld an agency’s decision to invoke the “good cause” exception and issue a rule without providing notice and comment where a delay would threaten public safety or the environment. See: Hawaii Helicopter Operators Ass’n v. FAA, 51 F.3d 212, 24 (9th Cir. 1995) (good cause exception satisfied in view of “the threat to public safety reflected in an increasing number of helicopter accidents”); Northern Arapahoe Tribe v. Hodel, 808 F.2d741, 750-52 (10th Cir. 1987) (good cause exception satisfied in view of urgent need for hunting regulations where herds were threatened with extinction); Northwest Airlines v. Goldschmidt, 645 F2d 1309, 1321 (8th Cir. 1981) (good cause exception satisfied in view of urgent need to allocate landing slots at major airport).

30. The rationale underlying those decisions is that compliance with time-consuming procedural requirements would “do real harm” by delaying implementation of urgently needed policies to safeguard public health. Swine Flu causes a disease of low virulence and pathogenicity so that the need for current Agency displays of overwhelming haste in their approval is not present, but the Vaccines contain never-before-approved adjuvants and known toxins so that the need for caution in their approval is very much present. Clearly, the exigent circumstances necessary to satisfy the Administrative Procedures Act’s (APA’s) good cause exception are present with regard to Petitioner’s concerns as set forth in the Factual Basis for Relief. They are not present with regard to the Vaccine approval applications. On the contrary, such approval would harm the public health.

Factual Basis for Relief

31. Vaccinations cause well-known and foreseeable harm. Autism, neurological damage, Guillian Barré syndrome, post vaccination Encephalitis, asthma, coma, juvenile ALS, adult ALS, oil-in-water adjuvant-induced poly arthritis, dermatitis, fibromyalgia, fatigue, malaise, death and other known consequences of vaccine injury are not generally reversible and the present danger from the Vaccines to children and adults is so great that the “good cause” exception referenced above is well warranted in this case. Consumers are being defrauded while children and others are being irreversibly damaged. Once a child collapses into autism, for example, there is a virtually irreversible path which the child and family follow, often leading to eventual institutionalization. These are, in most cases, preventable tragedies. The probable harm is immediate and irreparable.

32. In order to redress the perceived harm, there are several procedural matters that should be addressed by Agency Rule or Court interpretation. These are the need for:

(1) Clear and prominent Warnings as specified elsewhere herein,
(2) Due-process compliant procedures for opting out of involuntary vaccinations,
(3) Sound information to support informed consent if the vaccination is truly voluntary, and
(4) Due-process compliant procedures required to involuntarily isolate or quarantine any person who refuses to take an involuntary vaccine, or for anyone who for voluntary reasons refuses to take a vaccine.

33. Medical ethics, United States law regarding medical experimentation and treatment, and international legal standards require nothing less. These international legal standards are among the international standards the Agency pledged to harmonize to in a notice published in the Federal Register of October 11, 1995 (60 FR 53078), “FDA articulated its policy regarding the development and use of standards with respect to the harmonization of various national and international regulatory requirements and guidelines…”

See: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/fr970707.html

34. Similarly, if the H1N1 “Swine Flu” vaccination results are similar to the 1976 “Swine Flu” vaccination panic, hundreds will die (more than are alleged to have died from the 2009 “Swine Flu”) and hundreds of thousands or more will be injured. If the Vaccines, with their squalene adjuvant, are as deadly as the experimental squalene Anthrax Vaccine mandated for United States soldiers during the First Gulf War, hundreds of thousands will be hospitalized due to vaccine adverse reactions with tragic consequences to them and enormous preventable financial burdens on the healthcare system.

36. Therefore the Petitioners request the following redress of grievances:

(a) The first action sought is an emergency Temporary Stay of the pending Vaccine approval applications. The applications should be denied. Petitioners request a Public Hearing. Petitioners are in immanent peril of irreparable harm if the Temporary Stay is not granted immediately.

(b) Additionally, the Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to open and accept public comments and include, as part of any approval of the Vaccines, requiring strong warnings to the publics of each age groups, geographic location and any other relevant demographics, that a process be developed for individuals to opt out of any mandatory program and that clear instructions be given on the risk and benefits of the vaccine:

“This Vaccine has not undergone adequate FDA safety or efficacy testing and its risks are unknown in all age groups. This Vaccine contains ingredients previously rejected for use in the United State and/or never evaluated by the FDA which have been shown in animal studies to cause significant adverse biological response when injected.” Additionally, there is no legal mechanism, such as the VICP, which will provide compensation for those who may be foreseen to be injured by the Vaccines.

(c) Furthermore, the Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to recommend to all implementing agencies, such as State Departments of Health that the Vaccines not be subject to any legal mandate requiring their use by any class of persons in order for such persons to receive government services, or to work in particular employments, or to travel or to attend any public places or for any other purpose.

(d) The Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to recommend to all implementing agencies, such as State Departments of Health that these uninsurable, unproven and untested Vaccines not be subject to any legal mandate, whether direct or indirect, perceived or actual, requiring their use by any class of persons in order for such persons to receive government services, such as schooling, or to work in particular employments, such as first responders or health care workers, or to travel or to attend any public places or for any other purpose.

(e) The Petitioners petition the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to recommend voluntary Self-Shielding at home in preference to vaccination or removal to FEMA or other relocation facilities in the event of a Declared Pandemic Emergency.

Wherefore the undersigned certifies that to the best of his knowledge and belief the factual statements made herein are true, complete and not intentionally misleading.

Want Your Animals Chipped? More Reasons Why the Senate MUST NOT Pass HR 2749 Sister Bill

Donate to Keep Health Freedom Free. All donations are tax deductible for US taxpayers: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189

Take this Action Step NOW for every member of your family/household and mobilize everyone you can reach to do the same: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

Visit your Senator to tell him/her how strongly you insist that he/she protect both your food and your freedom. Here is a printable fact sheet you can use to either send to people in your emails or hand out to your Senator and people in health food stores, community members, etc.: http://www.lifespirit.org/FoodSafetyBills-leafletFINAL.pdf

The Natural Solutions Foundation has been warning about the coming of Codex to our food supply, with its degradation of every aspect of our food freedom and quality for quite some time. We are so concerned about this food and freedom issue that we are creating the innovative Valley of the Moon(TM) Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org, in Volcan, Panama, to teach farmers and non farmers alike how to reclaim the production of food. But meanwhile, the US is loosing its food freedom and its freedom all at the same time.

HR 2749, and its sister bill which the Senate will consider when it reconvenes in September brings it all back home. The article below is long, detailed and vitally important to you and your family. This is not simply a technical bill for technocrats. This is real life food slavery for you and for your family unless we act now.

HR 2749 takes giant steps forward in bringing what none of us want to see into being. HR 2749’s sister bill must NOT pass in the Senate if you value the health that comes from food, value your freedom to grow and source the type of clean, unadulterated food you value and if you do not want to see, eat and be, a global food slave. To date, as I write this, some 876,996 emails have been generated to tell Congress to safeguard, not destroy, our health and our food supply, as well as our freedom. It is imperative that we make sure that the Senate understands that this is not a request, it is a demand. If you have not generated emails to stop this invasion of the Constitution, your health freedom and your food and pets, do so now.

The article below focuses on just one aspect of that program, the National Animal Identification System or NAIS.

There has been a long and powerful battle in the US against NAIS, a regulatory and chipping system which would place extraordinary burdens on small farmers, raising costs of “traceability” and farming practices so high as to drive them out of business, leaving the field to the industrial giants, the Codex Criminals who want food produced cheaply enough to make them even richer – and care nothing about health, safety or the future of either food or your family.

HR 2749, passed under great pressure by the House of Representatives on July 31, 2009, just as it went on August recess, is a disastrous bill for food, for freedom and for farmers. It is a disastrous bill for you. If you keep pets, it is a disastrous bill for them, too.

When we gained successful push back when Congresswoman Rosa Delaurio (CT-D) agreed not to fund NAIS in Committee, we knew that the issue would be back around. And here it is.

Please take the Action Step in our Three for Liberty Campaign, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3262, right now, once for each member of your family. Then let every single person you know or can reach that it is urgent that they do the same IF they believe in their right to clean, unadulterated food, do not want Codex’ international globalization standards implemented, want to support small and organic farmers, do not want their pets chipped (yes, their pets!) with devices which have been shown to cause cancer, do not want the FDA to be able to declare martial law (!) and seize property in cases of food contamination and want to be able to grow their own gardens without having to adhere to Codex standards, complete with PIN number!

This is not the United States we believe we live in. This is global food fascism, nothing more and nothing less. Don’t let it happen. It really is up to us.

Welcome to the Global Plantation: HR 2749 Authorizes International Take-Over of Domestic Food Production

© Doreen Hannes 2009
Published by permission of the author

HR 2749 AUTHORIZES NAIS and OTHER INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
Congressional staffers have been telling people that HR 2749, the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009, does not authorize the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). Many organic groups have agreed with them. However, this is misleading. Though HR 2749 does not name “the” National Animal Identification System, it still authorizes the program. It also does not state that it legally authorizes Good Agricultural Practices, or GAP, partially comprising Codex guidelines on traceability and food safety, and the OIE’s Guide to Good Farming Practices including auditing, certification and inspections, disincentives for not participating in the form of fines, penalties, and loss of access to market, but it does. Is it possible that Congress was not aware of what it voted on? The bill was changed three times in a 24-hour period before passing the House 283-142 on July 30, 2009.

Are these assertions about HR 2749 wild and unsubstantiated? Proving them is fairly easy—just understand “Good Agricultural Practices” (GAP), how the agencies of the World Trade Organization operate within member countries to achieve them and what comprises the actual jurisdiction of the FDA and USDA. A brief explanation follows, along with substantiating quotes from HR 2749.

First we look to jurisdiction in HR2749….

“Nothing in this Act or any amendment made by this Act shall be construed to alter the jurisdiction between the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, under applicable statutes and regulations…” (p.3&4)

Then, tossing our preconceived notions to the wind and looking to law instead, we find that congressional testimony of the FDA on establishing a single food safety agency and a myriad of other sources including the FAO (Food and Ag Organization of the UN), the FDA statements on the Bioterrorism Act of 2002, and many books on food law affirm that FDA has jurisdiction over live food animals:

“FDA is the Federal agency that regulates 80 percent of the nation’s food supply-everything we eat except for meat, poultry, and certain egg products, which are regulated by our partners at USDA. FDA’s responsibility extends to live food animals…”(Cfans Director, March 2004 Congressional hearing)

So then what is the authority of the USDA? It is over agricultural disease, animals in the slaughter channel or transport, marketing (like grading of eggs and certification of processes) and the end product of many (but not all) food animals; meat. This is why NAIS always had to be “about disease” because the USDA couldn’t run it otherwise! The exemption section on USDA regulated products is a dust up. Most people think the USDA has authority over live food animals, but it is the FDA after all. They surrender “cow, sheep or goat for milk production”, but the FDA retains authority of the fluid milk and when the animal is no longer productive for milking, it’s into the slaughter channel (under USDA) or out to pasture (back to FDA) anyway!

“Livestock and poultry that are intended to be presented for slaughter pursuant to the regulations by the Secretary of Agriculture under the Federal Meat Inspection Act or the Poultry Products Inspection Act are exempt from the requirements of this Act. A cow, sheep, or goat that is used for the production of milk is exempt from the requirements of this Act.” (p.5 of HR2749)

HR 2749 is 160 pages (July 29 version) and contains the following references to international standards and guidelines (emphasis added for clarity) (all page numbers refer to the PDF file):

“(B) INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.—In issuing guidance or regulations… the Secretary shall review international hazard analysis and preventive control standards that are in existence on the date of the enactment of this Act and relevant to such guidelines or regulations to ensure that the programs…..are consistent……with such standards.” (p. 35)

“CONSISTENCY WITH INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS.—The Secretary shall apply this paragraph consistently with United States obligations under international agreements.” (p. 81)

“The Secretary shall issue regulations to ensure that any qualified certifying entity and its auditors are free from conflicts of interest. In issuing these regulations, the Secretary may rely on or incorporate international certification standards.” (p. 82)

This means that there will be a layer of auditors, certifiers and inspectors over every aspect of food production in this country and that these inspectors and certifiers will be trained in ISO (International Standards Organization) management program certification. The ISO has been working with Codex Alimentarius on Food Safety Standards and, in particular, a technical standard for Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) which is a consortium of the seven largest food retailers in the world, and that is ISO22000:2005. All traceability (read NAIS) falls under the purview of Codex, the OIE (World Animal Health Organization) and the IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) for global trade agreements.

The following excerpt from HR 2749 shows the fully interoperable global network already in existence regarding food and its production:

“Development of such guidelines shall take into account the utilization of existing unique identification schemes and compatibility with customs automated systems, such as integration with the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and the International Trade Data System (ITDS), and any successor systems.” (p. 142)

So it is clear that international standards and guidelines are implicit in this legislation. Note the usage of the command form SHALL. This isn’t a ‘might’, ‘may’ or in anyway a voluntary issue on the part of the Secretary. Then there is the section on Traceability. This is a code word in the National Animal Identification System and when one reads Sec.107 of this bill, it describes specific components of NAIS down to 48-hour trace-back, which cannot even be fantasized about with out individual animal identification.

“…..the Secretary shall issue regulations establishing a tracing system that enables the Secretary to identify each person who grows, produces, manufactures, processes, packs, transports, holds, or sells such food in as short a timeframe as practicable but no longer than 2 business days.” [note that it says “grows”] (p. 70)

and…

“……use a unique identifier for each facility owned or operated by such person for such purpose…” (p. 69)

So we have PIN (Premises Identification Number) and 48-hour traceback harmonizing with international standards and guidelines along with this:

“….‘‘(C) COORDINATION REGARDING FARM IMPACT.—In issuing regulations under this paragraph that will impact farms, the Secretary ‘‘(i) shall coordinate with the Secretary of Agriculture; and ‘‘(ii) take into account the nature of the impact of the regulations on farms.” (p. 71)

Now that I’ve killed you with legalese, it’s time to let you find out just what these international standards and guidelines mean to those engaged in agriculture in this country.

“GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES”
Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) are not a standard in and of themselves. They are a combination of standards and guidelines set forth by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N. (FAO), through both the OIE (World Animal Health Organization) and Codex Alimentarius (Food Code) and IPPC to meet the certification and auditing side of the international trade aspects of the standards set forth. The OIE and Codex are charged with setting global standards and guidelines for the member countries of the WTO to meet and satisfy the SPS (Sanitary and Phyto-Sanitary), TBT (Technical Barriers to Trade) and Equivalency agreements of the WTO for participation in international trade. Both the OIE and CODEX have guidelines for traceability that, with the passage of HR2749 into law, would be written into regulations governing all interstate commerce within the boundaries of the United States. The components of traceability are the pillars of NAIS that many of us have become so familiar with in the course of the battle over the past several years. Those being 1) Premises Identification 2) Animal Identification and 3) Animal Tracking. You can’t have traceability under international standards without having those three components.

One of the main issues in the implementation of these standards and guidelines within a member nation of the WTO is that they must have a legal framework through which to regulate and enforce these guidelines and standards. HR 2749 would meet the criteria for that legal framework by way of the excerpts from the bill above.

In the OIE’s “Guide to Good Farming Practices” the management of a livestock facility are clearly spelled out. Some of these recommendations that would become defacto law in the US under agency rule-making on passage of HR2749 (GGFP delineates international guidelines for food safety at the farm level) are:

– For each animal…Require and keep all commercial and health documents enabling their exact itinerary to be traced from their farm or establishment to their final destination…

-Keep a record of all persons entering the farm…..

-Keep medical certificates of persons working with the animals……

-Keep documents proving the water you give to the animals meets specific criteria

-Keep samples of all feed given to the animals

-Keep all documents from official inspections

-Keep records of treatment and procedures on all animals (castration, disbudding, calving, medications, etc.)

-Prevent domestic animals (cats and dogs) from roaming in and around livestock buildings

-Place all these documents at the disposal of the competent authority (Veterinary Services) when it conducts farm visits.

Some of the other guidelines and standards that would come into play after the implementation of traceability for all agricultural products would be : (from FAO COAG/17 “Development of a Framework for Good Agricultural Practices”) “the adoption and implementation of international standards and codes for which Codex food safety standards and guidelines have been designed, and the associated capacity building, training, development and field implementation in the context of the different production systems and agro-ecozones. These include: Enhancing Food Quality and Safety by Strengthening Handling, Processing and Marketing in the Food Chain (214A9); Capacity Building and Risk Analysis Methodologies for Compliance with Food Safety Standards and Pesticide Control (215P1); Food Quality Control and Consumer Protection (221P5); Food Safety Assessment and Rapid Alert System (221P6); and Food Quality and Safety Throughout the Food Chain (221P8).”*

To be certified as meeting the requirements of “GAP”, which is synonymous with being in compliance with international standards and guidelines, we can check out GlobalGAP.org. This is “the” certifying methodology for international trade in ag products. Here are a few excerpts from their 122-page general regulations booklet that has links to checklists for those who would be certifiers and auditors under the principles of GAP. This is an organization, not a governing body under WTO agreements, but working with nations and businesses to meet the criteria regarding these GAP practices for international trade. Here is a bare minimum of excerpts from their regulation document:

-(ii) Developing a Good Agricultural Practice (G.A.P.) framework for benchmarking existing assurance schemes and standards including traceability. (iii) Providing guidance for continuous improvement and the development and understanding of best practice. (iv) Establish a single, recognised framework for independent verification.

-Production Location: A production unit or group of production units, covered by the same ownership, operational procedures, farm management, and GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) decision-making activities.

-Within the context of GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) Integrated Farm Assurance this means tracing product from the producer’s immediate customer back to the producer and certified farm.

-Within the context of GLOBALGAP (EUREPGAP) Integrated Farm Assurance this means tracking product from the producer to his immediate customer.

In simple English, which appears to be highly lacking in all these guidelines, it means NAIS for everything, and for anyone who wishes to be engaged in agriculture….Remember the “grows” phrase from the earlier excerpt from HR2749. Now let’s look at some of the ‘exception’ clauses in HR2749. This bill is a terrifically crafty piece of legislation that is designed to cloud the reader’s understanding of the impact of the law being proposed in it. All of the exception clauses give the exception under this Act so long as you are ready to be regulated under a different Act. We’ll just look at a couple of these clauses to allow you to get the gist of the lack of exception available through the exceptions….

“EXCEPTIONS”
Farms- A farm is exempt from the requirements of this Act to the extent such farm raises animals from which food is derived that is regulated under the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, or the Egg Products Inspection Act.

‘‘(I) such an operation that packs or holds food, provided that all food used in such activities is grown, raised, or consumed on such farm or another farm under the same ownership;

‘‘(II) such an operation that manufactures or processes food, provided that all food used in such activities is consumed on such farm or another farm under the same ownership; (pages9 and10)

Thus, if you grow everything you feed and consume everything you grow, and use no minerals or salts that you don’t mine yourself, you may be exempt. Or, in plain English, don’t even try to make a living in agriculture if you won’t comply with these rules.

One more exception to contend with here is:

‘(A) DIRECT SALES BY FARMS- Food is exempt from the requirements of this subsection if such food is–

‘(i) produced on a farm; and

‘(ii) sold by the owner, operator, or agent in charge of such farm directly to a consumer or to a restaurant or grocery store. (page 71)

This sounds good. However, there are several problems with this that are not evident without some knowledge of how things are done in the traditional avenues open for market to growers. First of all, cattle, whom you may recall as the primary target of the NAIS Business Plan, are often sold either at auction barns or via potload to feedlots. It is illegal to sell beef directly from the farm to consumers in every state that I know of. People often will sell a calf ready to butcher in halves or quarters to people and deliver the calf to the slaughter facility for the consumer, but this is far from the normal route of commerce in cattle or other species of meat animal. Even if you can securely wedge your operation into this particular exemption, they get you later via the record keeping section of this bill:

‘(E) RECORDKEEPING REGARDING PREVIOUS SOURCES AND SUBSEQUENT RECIPIENTS- For a food or person covered by a limitation or exemption under subparagraph (B), (C), or (D), the Secretary shall require each person who produces, receives, manufactures, processes, packs, transports, distributes, or holds such food to maintain records to identify the immediate previous sources of such food and its ingredients and the immediate subsequent recipients of such food.

‘(F) RECORDKEEPING BY RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES- For a food covered by an exemption under subparagraph (A), restaurants and grocery stores shall keep records documenting the farm that was the source of the food.

‘(G) RECORDKEEPING BY FARMS- For a food covered by an exemption under subparagraph (A), farms shall keep records, in electronic or non-electronic format, for at least 6 months documenting the restaurant or grocery store to which the food was sold.’ (pp. 74-75)

So being exempt means you are required to keep records. Keeping required records means you could be required to release those records. So how exempt can a person get under this legislation? Especially when the slaughter facilities will all be regulated unless the USDA already regulates them?

PENALTIES AND FINES
Then of course, as with any law, there are the fines and penalties. These are from $20,000 to $1,000,000 per violation. (p. 122)

NO JUDICIAL REVIEW
There is also the change under the seizure section that takes away judicial overview…(double quotations indicate amending language)

…….procedure in cases under this section shall conform, as nearly as may be, to the procedure in admiralty; except that on demand of either party any issue of fact joined in any such case shall be tried by jury, “”and except that, with respect to proceedings relating to food, Rule G of the Supplemental Rules of Admiralty or Maritime Claims and Asset Forfeiture Actions shall not apply in any such case, exigent circumstances shall be deemed to exist for all seizures brought under this section, and the summons and arrest warrant shall be issued by the clerk of the court without court review in any such case””…… (p. 116)

So we can just throw out that pesky Fourth Amendment to the Constitution and while we’re at it, let’s get rid of probable cause as well via this wording from page 117:

by striking ‘‘credible evidence or information indicating’’ and inserting ‘‘reason to believe’’;

There are many other dangerous aspects to HR 2749, like seizures, quarantines, and licensing and whistle blower provisions, but this should leave no doubt that this bill will indeed affect farms and has the potential to affect even home food production if an agency decides to apply the international risk analysis schemes to that venue. This bill opens a huge regulatory nightmare that is only evident when one knows what the international guidelines and standards consist of in regard to agriculture. Understanding those, it is highly unlikely that they will issue regulations that keep things as they are now.

Now, the questions that everyone involved in agriculture, meaning everyone who eats, must ask themselves are these:

Can regulating, fining and destroying the freedom of people to grow food create food safety?

Have the impacts of so-called “Free Trade” on this nation been beneficial for the citizens of this country?

Have food safety concerns increased or decreased since we have begun to import more food under these trade agreements?

And ultimately, does the US Constitution provide for the voidance of the Bill of Rights to participate in global trade?

My copy of the Constitution clearly does not allow for any law to void the Bill of Rights which is unalienable and Constitutionally guaranteed. It’s time to let our Federal representatives know in no uncertain terms, that everything to do with governance ultimately comes down to the consent of the governed, and we will not consent to being run by international agencies.
