FSD, All Countries

IAHF List: The Reuters news article below my comments documents the concerns

of a US Senator who has condemned the World Trade Organization saying that it

contains a " Kangaroo Court " which has been making numerous rulings against US

law.

He's correct, they have, and the FDA has set the USA up to lose in a future

WTO Trade Dispute via which the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act has

been targetted for total destruction.

The congressional oversight hearing on the Codex issue that I pushed for for

5 years was whitewashed on March 20, 2001 and the USA has been set up by

illegal acts committed by the FDA at Codex meetings and on their periphery for

harmonization of our vitamin laws to genocidal emerging international Codex

standards.

The only chance we have to monkeywrench the Cartel's devious plans are to

pump $50,000. into the Alliance for Natural Health

http://www.alliance-natural-health.org within the next 2 months for the next leg

of their legal war to

overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive.

Yesterday, despite a long discussion about all of this with a prominent US

health magazine publisher, he totally failed to connect the dots, and planted

his head firmly in the sand on me, insisting that I " must be wrong " that there

must be " some mistake " in my analysis.

I assured him, and I assure you, there is NO MISTAKE in my analysis. I am the

first person to ever call the Codex International Threat to Health Freedom to

the attention of the world via my 1996 article in Life Extension Magazine,

and I'm in regular contact with numerous health freedom attorneys including

Tips, Legal Director of the National Health Federation

http://www.thenhf.com

and Ralph Fucetola, JD http://www.vitaminlawyer.com as well as numerous other

prominent people who share my frightening analysis of impending GENOCIDE.

The GOOD NEWS is that we CAN and WILL win in court in the EU Court of Justice

in Luxemborg, we have the BEST lawfirm in Europe (Brick Court Chambers) in

our corner, and they did a GREAT job for us in the High Court of Justice in

London UK on January 30th, but we need to put more financial fuel in the

financial

gas tank to keep our ship afloat so that we can live to fight another

day------ when you go with the best, you pay dearly for it.

So, please: pump some more financial fuel into the ANH legal fund's tank by

IAHF ON THE AIR MONDAY MORNING 7:15 AM- 8AM Pacific Time

http://www.thepowerhour.com With Joyce Riley, please tune in or hear the

archived show

I'll be discussing the frightening implications of the following National

Academy of Sciences Report (Dietary Supplements: A Framework for Evaluating

Safety) http://books.nap.edu/catalog/10882.html via which the FDA and Cartel

have

set us up to lose in a future WTO Trade Dispute by falsely defining dietary

supplement safety.

Under the SPS Agreement (sub section of GATT), the only legal means by which

a nation can refuse to harmonize its domestic vitamin laws to an emerging

Codex standard is on a basis of SAFETY. So the FDA has set us up to lose by

FALSELY DEFINING supplement safety.

Keep in mind as you read the Reuters news article below (that the WTO

contains a Kangaroo Court which has made numerous anti American rulings) that my

comments are not mere hyperbole, that I am not being " Chicken Little " in my dire

pronouncements.

Those of you who saw my last email (about Dr.Schneeman, the Chair of the

National Academy of Sciences that generated this bogus " Safety " report realize

that she is totally bought and paid for by the Cartel and that FDA has just put

her in charge of their Office of Dietary Supplements.....

Guess who would " represent us " in the event of a WTO Trade Dispute?

You got it---- We'd be " represented " by either unelected bureaucrat Beth

Yetley (US Codex Chair) or by Dr.Schneeman--- who as I've documented recently

had

a research grant at UC for nearly $40,000. from ILSI (International Life

Science's Institue) whose membership reads like a " Who's Who " of

multinational pharmacetical companies--- see

WTO Becoming a 'Kangaroo Court' - U.S. Senator

Last Updated: September 26, 2002 04:43 PM ET

By Doug Palmer

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top U.S. senator lashed out at the World Trade

Organization on Thursday, accusing it of becoming " like a kangaroo court "

because

of a series of negative rulings against the United States.

" I am deeply troubled by what has been going on in the WTO dispute settlement

process, " Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus told a Washington

audience. " Things are looking more and more ... like a kangaroo court against

U.S.

trade laws. "

The Montana Democrat urged the Bush administration to mount an aggressive

effort to correct what he said was a bias at the WTO against the United States.

One option to ensure fair rulings, he said, would be to establish a U.S.

commission to review WTO decisions against the United States, reviving an idea

that had some congressional support in the mid-1990s, when the WTO was formed.

Baucus said there were as many as 15 cases in recent years where the WTO has

ruled against what he said were legitimate U.S. actions to restrict imports.

In a recent case, a WTO panel " mistakenly ruled " that the Commerce Department

cannot use U.S. timber prices as benchmark for determining duties against

unfairly traded Canadian softwood lumber, Baucus said.

" This is wholly inconsistent with previous WTO cases and makes little sense, "

he said.

WTO panels have also overstepped their bounds in ruling against U.S.

" safeguard " restrictions on wheat gluten from the European Union, lamb from

Australia

and New Zealand and steel wire rod and line pipe from a number of suppliers,

he said.

Those decisions bode badly for the controversial steel tariffs the United

States imposed earlier this year. That safeguard action also has been challenged

at the WTO.

Baucus also took aim at a WTO decision against the so-called " Byrd

amendment, " which requires the U.S. Customs Service to distribute antidumping

revenues

to the industries that originally applied for the import protection.

" Even though Byrd Amendment payments impose no burden on imports -- and

certainly affect few if any exports -- a WTO panel recently ruled that they are

an

impermissible penalty for dumping, " Baucus said.

He added Congress was unlikely to repeal the provision, even if the United

States loses the case on appeal.

" MAKING UP RULES OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH "

In another high-profile case involving U.S. tax breaks for exporters, the WTO

made an " arbitrary " distinction between countries like the United States that

rely on income taxes and those that rely on value-added taxes, he said.

That ruling has opened the door for the European Union to slap more than $4

billion of sanctions on U.S. goods.

Baucus said WTO dispute settlement panels have exceeded their power by

refusing to give proper deference to U.S. agencies, like the Commerce Department

and

the International Trade Commission, which have decided that antidumping or

safeguard measures are warranted.

Instead of enforcing trade remedy rules of the 1994 Uruguay Round trade pact,

the panels " are legislating, making up rules out of whole cloth, substituting

their judgement for the negotiated agreement, " Baucus said.

Former WTO Director General Mike , in an interview with Reuters before

Baucus' speech, offered his own view of the situation.

" I don't accept that there is bias against America at all. You've won much

more cases than you've lost, " said.

" One of the ironies is that everywhere in the world, people think the WTO is

an American monster that's raping them and pillaging them and plundering them.

But when you get to America, the WTO is (viewed as) some sort of conspiracy

to subvert the constitution, " he said.

WTO members have set a May 2003 deadline for reaching an agreement on

measures to improve the dispute settlement process. said there are areas

that

certainly need improvement, including the length of time it takes panels to

reach a decision and the overreliance on trade retaliation as the ultimate tool

for enforcing rulings.

The Bush administration has tabled a proposal which would open up the dispute

settlement process to more public participation by having open hearings.

That has run into opposition from many poor countries who fear it would

result in a " trial by media. "
