SIGN THE PETITION - TELL YOUR SENATORS TO VOTE AGAINST S510

[Pharaoh]

As many of you are aware, Congress will reconvene from recess on September 13th. One of the first orders of business will be debate in the Senate on the passage of The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 also know as S510. I have held off on commenting on this until now as I wanted to research the facts for myself. After researching this issue, I concur with many others that this bill IS the most dangerous bill in the history of the US. BELOW IS BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF WHY THIS BILL SIMPLY CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO PASS IN THE SENATE.

I URGE ALL OF YOU TO READ THE INFORMATION BELOW AND VIEW THE LINKED VIDEOS. THEN, IF YOU FEEL AS STRONGLY AS WE DO THAT THIS BILL MUST BE STOPPED, PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION AT THE LINK AT THE END OF THIS MESSAGE AND CALL THE TWO SENATORS THAT REPRESENT YOUR STATE AND TELL THEM TO VOTE AGAINST THE PASSAGE OF THIS BILL.

This is not a partisan issue. This is not about Republicans or Democrats or liberals, or conservatives. This is about our food supply and the future health and freedom of all of us. LET YOUR SENATORS CLEARLY KNOW THAT A VOTE FOR THIS BILL IS A VOTE AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND YOU WILL REMEMBER THIS IN THE NEXT ELECTION. Please join with us in this URGENT STAND. Thank you. Namaste.

* NOTE: The companion House version of this bill HR875 already passed the House and parts of it are incorporated in S510 or will be added to it.

S510 INFORMATION

“If accepted would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God.” ~Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistle blower

It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during British rule, only S 510 extends control over all food in the US, violating the fundamental human right to food.

Monsanto says it has no interest in the bill and would not benefit from it, but Monsanto’s Michael Taylor who gave us rBGH and unregulated genetically modified (GM) organisms, appears to have designed it and is waiting as an appointed Food Czar to the FDA (a position unapproved by Congress) to administer the agency it would create — without judicial review — if it passes. S 510 would give Monsanto unlimited power over all US seed, food supplements, food and farming.

History

In the 1990s, Bill Clinton introduced HACCP (Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Points) purportedly to deal with contamination in the meat industry. Clinton’s HACCP delighted the offending corporate (World Trade Organization “WTO”) meat packers since it allowed them to inspect themselves, eliminated thousands of local food processors (with no history of contamination), and centralized meat into their control. Monsanto promoted HACCP.

In 2008, Hillary Clinton, urged a powerful centralized food safety agency as part of her campaign for president. Her adviser was Mark Penn, CEO of Burson Marsteller*, a giant PR firm representing Monsanto. Clinton lost, but Clinton friends such as Rosa DeLauro, whose husband’s firm lists Monsanto as a progressive client and globalization as an area of expertise, introduced early versions of S 510.

S 510 fails on moral, social, economic, political, constitutional, and human survival grounds.

1. It puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, in the event of contamination or an ill-defined emergency. It resembles the Kissinger Plan.

2. It would end US sovereignty over its own food supply by insisting on compliance with the WTO, thus threatening national security. It would end the Uruguay Round Agreement Act of 1994, which put US sovereignty and US law under perfect protection. Instead, S 510 says:

COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS.

Nothing in this Act (or an amendment made by this Act) shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the agreement establishing the World Trade Organization or any other treaty or international agreement to which the United States is a party.

3. It would allow the government, under Maritime Law, to define the introduction of any food into commerce (even direct sales between individuals) as smuggling into “the United States.” Since under that law, the US is a corporate entity and not a location, “entry of food into the US” covers food produced anywhere within the land mass of this country and “entering into” it by virtue of being produced.

4. It imposes Codex Alimentarius on the US, a global system of control over food. It allows the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the WTO to take control of every food on earth and remove access to natural food supplements. Its bizarre history and its expected impact in limiting access to adequate nutrition (while mandating GM food, GM animals, pesticides, hormones, irradiation of food, etc.) threatens all safe and organic food and health itself, since the world knows now it needs vitamins to survive, not just to treat illnesses.

5. It would remove the right to clean, store and thus own seed in the US, putting control of seeds in the hands of Monsanto and other multinationals, threatening US security. See Seeds – How to criminalize them, for more details.

6. It includes NAIS, an animal traceability program that threatens all small farmers and ranchers raising animals. The UN is participating through the WHO, FAO, WTO, and World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) in allowing mass slaughter of even heritage breeds of animals and without proof of disease. Biodiversity in farm animals is being wiped out to substitute genetically engineered animals on which corporations hold patents. Animal diseases can be falsely declared. S 510 includes the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), despite its corrupt involvement in the H1N1 scandal, which is now said to have been concocted by the corporations.

7. It extends a failed and destructive HACCP to all food, thus threatening to do to all local food production and farming what HACCP did to meat production – put it in corporate hands and worsen food safety.

8. It deconstructs what is left of the American economy. It takes agriculture and food, which are the cornerstone of all economies, out of the hands of the citizenry, and puts them under the total control of multinational corporations influencing the UN, WHO, FAO and WTO, with HHS, and CDC, acting as agents, with Homeland Security as the enforcer. The chance to rebuild the economy based on farming, ranching, gardens, food production, natural health, and all the jobs, tools and connected occupations would be eliminated.

9. It would allow the government to mandate antibiotics, hormones, slaughterhouse waste, pesticides and GMOs. This would industrialize every farm in the US, eliminate local organic farming, greatly increase global warming from increased use of oil-based products and long-distance delivery of foods, and make food even more unsafe. The five items listed — the Five Pillars of Food Safety — are precisely the items in the food supply which are the primary source of its danger.

10. It uses food crimes as the entry into police state power and control. The bill postpones defining all the regulations to be imposed; postpones defining crimes to be punished, postpones defining penalties to be applied. It removes fundamental constitutional protections from all citizens in the country, making them subject to a corporate tribunal with unlimited power and penalties, and without judicial review. It is (similar to C-6 in Canada) the end of Rule of Law in the US.

[liberal N proud]

1. Why is all the text crossed through?

[polmaven]

2. Really!

Apparently the bill, if accepted will ...............................................! Wow....we can't let THAT happen!

[Pharaoh]

4. I don't know

I cut and pasted, and it just posted that way, very strange....

[OnlinePoker]

6. There are two versions of the bill

One was what was introduced into the Senate and one is the amended version that is still pending. On the amended version, they have struck through and edited text of the bill. You can see the bill at:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:S.510:

Go to the second version as it's the most current.

[fasttense]

3. One of your own videos said it will exempt farmers making less than $500,000 a year.

If so, this will not impact most small farmers, backyard gardeners and most members of Farmer's Markets.

[Scuba]

5. Complex and difficult to comprehend. Anything that gives Monsanto more power is ....

...almost certainly bad.
