This is worse than anything . Wars start and are ended .But a bill that is passed becomes part of law enforcement and not easily subject to change. I am sad for my brothers and sisters in the US . Europe will follow . It's already on its way with the severe control that will be released on medicinal plants next april.
When one removes people's connection to Mother Earth it's the link to life itself that is cut.
This is so insane .
I was told in Gabon one can still buy an island for hardly anything. At least this was the case several years ago.

Blessed be your journey Carol .

The following vid is not relevant, but the song certainly is.....Unbelievable that this passed.

When one steps back and really looks at what happened here I could write up a diabolical plot. This bill went before the Senate on Wednesday - THE DAY BEORE THANKSGIVING WHILE EVERYONE WAS IN TRAVEL MODE FOR THE BIGGEST FAMILY HOLIDAY IN THE US. At the same time is all the HOOPLA FROM NAZI TSA which all travelers are fighting over... MEGGA DISTRATION. Then what is the next MEGGA DISTRACTION? N. Korea nd S. Korea where one can hardly find out anything about it today in the news. All mention of S.510 nada, nothing anywhere in major media. Not a whisper. Even where I attempted to post info on it, I was blocked from posting after the initial post was up. Even the links to send emails to their senators had the last two lines blocked at the self-help websites so the individual would have had to google and do some work to get the message out to their senators.

And the vote is on MONDAY, the first day back from the Holliday with the OLD DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS bought and controlled by Codex and Monsanto. There was not enough time to get the message out and all means were blocked. The timing of this event couldn't have been more perfect for TPTB. Remember what Mercuriel said. If they are doing something in the East (NK) then watch what is going on in the opposite direction - the WEST and Monsanto.

What a tragedy for the US who is so beleagured by the mismanagement of this nation it would take a total EMP just to wipe out all of this rubish so we could start over again.

And the whole WIKILEAKS BRUHAHA... Well I say CONGRATULATIONS for outing the criminals. This is the 1st Amendment in action and this type of information needs to be out in the public where it was posted and where 3 million people had access to it prior to this recent exposure. Shame on those politicians who call activists terrorists. The real terrorists are those people in governmnet who are out to distroy what this nation is about.

And keep in mind... everything one puts in print... EVERYTHING can and will be used against one so it is best to stay on the up and up from the onset.

Depressing as can be. But I am going to try to look for the silver lining.

Surely they are not going to be cracking down on home gardens at this point in time, or any time soon--gardening is the number one recreational activity in the U.S. That would create too great of a backlash, and would criminalize basically everyone. No way that's gonna happen.

It is the language in this bill that worries those of us who have read it: it is too open-ended. The potential is there to severely harm farmer's markets, and to cripple all of the open-pollinated seed businesses. Not to mention the continuing raids on raw foods producers and distributors.

Oh, and of course CODEX. Herbs will probably be the next thing to go, but good luck enforcing that one! They better be treading carefully with the totalitarian tiptoe or they are going to piss off the slumbering lion. People get very emotional when it comes to their food!

Well I suggest people buy as many non-hybrid seeds as they can get their hands on because seeds will be more valuable then gold. Even sprouts will be more valuable then gold.

what was relevant back then is very much so ~ even now.

this has never escaped my memory ~

what comes around goes around within this matrix.



(Monster)
"Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

The blue and grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war over
They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has it's share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey

(Suicide)
The spirit was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seem generous and kind
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin'

Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching

(America)
America where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster"

All I know is that when something bad happens we have to look for the good that is standing right next to it .This has never proven otherwise for me . The worst scenarios all carried something good with them . That's how balanced our universe is .
I don't know yet what that good is or will be neither how it will manifest nor when but we must remain open for it .That may seem far fetched but it's been true on a personal level and I don't see why this would'nt be the case on a wider scale.I am not trusting politicians I have faith in Spirit.

Gee whiz and I just bought seeds for the garden next spring. What am I gonna do? I guess I'm just gonna do what the heck I want to, plant a garden, screw them!

Of the largest 100 units in the world today, 49 are countries and 51 are corporations. There will be hell to pay as the world has become more concerned about greed than common sense. Everyone should be able to make their own decisions.

Looks like the Tester amendment passed, which would exempt farms that sell less than $500,000 and who sell most of their food locally. . .

All is not lost!

Well that is good news.

Akaka (D-HI), Yea





Some don't like GB but he does spell out the issue in this. Monsanto is in favor of this bill. FDA's deputy commissioner used to work at Monsanto.

S510 bill exemption is FAKE. It does not exempt anyone at all!

Quote:

The new legislation also includes exemptions for farmers selling less than $500,000 each year that directly market to consumers in a 275 mile areas, reports CBS News.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/11/30/national/main7102973.shtml

The $500k is in revenue from selling crops/livestock etc. Almost every small farm has $500k in revenue. They have to because the expenses to generate $500k revenue is at least $450k

Basically you cannot have more that $500k coming in nevermind expenses...

And once again this is one of those inflation not included bills so in 10-15 years the bill will apply to everyone just from inflationary pressures..."

This is why it passed:


Some of the bill's provisions
- Gives the FDA authority to recall contaminated foods. It is currently a voluntary system
- Exempts farmers selling less than $500,000 each year that “directly market to consumers in a 275 mile areas.
- Increases inspections at food facilities. Once every three years for high-risk facilities.
- Requires importers to verify food safety.
- Increases traceability and tracking of high risk foods. Creates a pilot program to increase contamination traceability.
- Allows FDA to access records if there is reasonable probability a food is causing sickness or death in humans or animals.
- Allows FDA to create new standards for the safety of fresh produce.
- FDA can collect fees for non-compliance with recalls or reinspections.
- FDA must form new regulations on safe food transport conditions.
- FDA can allow outside laboratories to conduct third party inspections to ease the load for the FDA.
- Increases funding and staff at FDA.




Obviously they missed the small print.

However good news here:

S510 won't be lawful in Minnesota because it will conflict with the State's Constitution.

The Minnesota State Constitution says in Article 13, section 7, “Any person may sell or peddle the products of the farm or garden occupied and cultivated by him without obtaining a license therefor.” Now if this law could be incorporated into State Law.. in other states this would be good.


This is an interesting tidbit if one thinks Titor really was a time traveler.

Time traveler Titor said:

The most likely leader of a war movement like the one you describe would most likely be a Farmer.

Throughout history, farmers have often been a target of oppression because they are absolutely necessary to civilization but too busy to defend themselves. If you push a farmer too far, they stop growing food and have nothing to do but hide in the woods and shoot back. http://johntitor.com/

Dear Representative:

I am not in support of the new Food Safety Bill S.510 that you will be voting on shortly. It will not provide a greater degree of Food Safety, and will hurt the small family farm.

S.510 fails to take into account the emergence of vibrant and healthy local food systems across the nation. S.510 will burden, and potentially crush, emerging new businesses that are re-building a local food economy. I urge you not to vote for this bill, and to abandon it.

Food safety is a priority shared by all. The growing trend toward locally sourced vegetables, fruit, meats, dairy, and value-added products improves food safety by providing the opportunity for consumers to know their farmers and processors, to choose products on the basis of that relationship, and to readily trace any problems should they occur. The food safety problems in the industrial food system, with its long, multi-sourced food supply chains that extend across thousands of miles and even international borders, can and should be addressed without harming the local food systems.

As a politically informed and voting constituent, I urge you NOT TO VOTE FOR S.510. I will be watching the results, and thank you in advance for representing the people of this great State of (YOUR STATE) on this issue. I also would like to extend my greatest admiration and gratitude for all you have done for this great state!


Sincerely,
{YOUR NAME}

Dear Carol don't go to Vanuatu not the best place as it is one of the islands forecast to be submerged as it is sea level and didn't I see a volcano? How about becoming a Canadian although that probably won't save you from these idiots either ...time to buy those heirloom seeds and fast (especially if from the USA) before the ??!!? truly hits the fan bigtime.

Canada is cold. Hmm... back to plan B. Stay here.

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 Organisation 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.

Another part of that control is NAIS where not only do they control YOUR garden but also any goats, chickens, sheep, alpacas, eyc you might be trying to raise, produce, or use...as a resource or as food

This bill was considered in committee which was recommended it be considered by the Senate as a whole. Although it has been placed on a calendar of business, the order in which legislation is considered and voted on is determined by the majority party leadership. Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned.

See the Related Legislation page for other bills related to this one and a list of subject terms that have been applied to this bill.

Proposed FDA food safety bill modified to protect natural supplements

According to information reported by the Alliance for Natural Health, a Congressional bill designed to overhaul food safety regulations has been modified to except food supplements from regulations included in the bill. The FDA Food Modernization Act (S. 510), which has been a source of concern for supplement sellers and consumers, had included language which implied that U.S. trading partners would have to "harmonize" with Codex Alimentarius. The Codex is an international set of regulations that would affect access to many supplements, as it establishes uniform regulations that would supersede national laws governing foods and supplements. Already, a number of European countries and Canada have enacted regulations that greatly restrict the sale and purchase of herbal and nutritional supplements. Supplements under these provisions are addressed more like pharmaceutical drugs, which require extensive time and enormous expense to get government approval.

Fears that S. 510 would limit access in America to natural supplements led health freedom advocates to lobby Senators

i really do hope there is a massive pole shift. this world is insane!

Wow. I feel very fortunate that I live in the only state whose constitution overrides this law. Not that the law would have stopped me anyway...

It just blows my mind that this has passed and nobody even knows about it. As you've said, it's very, very difficult to find any information about it. As "the greatest reform of the food industry in the last hundred years", you would think it would be all over the news. There is absolutely nothing. Nobody I've discussed this with has known anything about it. The only silver lining I see is that everyone I've talked to about this has been extremely upset about it. I'll take anger over apathy any day.

Thank you for sharing all the information here, Carol. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even know about this.

oh man, I have a headache, too much time on my computer trying to get the word out. I know lots of people in Michigan and they are FINALLY paying attention to this, but want to know the relevant sections to the bill that effects them in home food growing to discuss with their senator. It is SO hard to understand , anyone got a relevant section of the bill they can link me to?

Some say this bill has been hyped, making us conspiracy nuts look a little EGGO on face-ish, and that you CAN grow own food, but that restrictions will make it pretty impossible to do it with any freedom.

naaaahh to Vanuatu, .... hopefully there will be no need to relocate Carol.

Thanks for all the info peeps , much used and appreciated, 10 or so brains are better than one ,
