> S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010

> <http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-2749>, may be the most

> bailout was to our economy, only we can live without money.

> " If accepted [s 510] 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

> It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during

> 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 <http://www.organicconsumers.org/irrad/ctf.cfm>.

> In 2008, Hillary Clinton, urged a powerful centralized food safety agency

> as part of her campaign for president. Her advisor was Mark Penn

> <http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va & aid=8595>, CEO of

> Burson Marsteller*, a giant PR firm representing Monsanto

> <http://www.corporatewatch.org/?lid=395/strong/font/pp>. Clinton lost, but

> Clinton friends such as DeLauro, whose husband's firm lists Monsanto

> <http://www.greenbergresearch.com/index.php?ID=109> 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

> <http://www.schillerinstitute.org/food_for_peace/kiss_nssm_jb_1995.html>.

> 2. It would end US sovereignty over its own food supply by insisting on

> compliance with the WTO

> <http://yupfarming.blogspot.com/2009/05/food-safety-bills-more-dangerous-t

> han_08.html>, thus threatening national security. It would end the Uruguay

> Round Agreement Act of 1994, which put US sovereignty and US law under

> perfect protection <http://www.eastlaw.net/research/wto/wto2b.htm>.

> 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

> <http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/PHARMACEUTICAL_BUSINESS/history_of_the

> _pharmaceutical_industry.htm> and its expected impact

> <http://www.ceri.com/ed-rath.htm> in limiting access

> <http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/PHARMACEUTICAL_BUSINESS/laws_of_the_ph

> armaceutical_industry.htm> to adequate nutrition (while mandating GM food,

> GM animals, pesticides, hormones, irradiation of food, etc.) threatens all

> safe and organic food

> <http://coto2.wordpress.com/2010/02/03/codex-alimentarius-cohorts-wage-war

> -against-food/> and health itself, since the world knows now it needs

> vitamins to survive

> <http://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343%2809%2900440-9/fulltext>, 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

> 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

> farm animals is being wiped out to substitute

> <http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va & aid=1333> genetically

> engineered animals on which corporations hold patents. Animal diseases can

> be falsely declared. S 510 includes the Centers for Disease Control (CDC

> <http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/24/CBS-Reveals

> -that-Swine-Flu-Cases-Seriously-Overestimated.aspx>), despite its corrupt

> involvement

> <http://www.financialsense.com/editorials/engdahl/2009/1208.html>in the

> H1N1 scandal

> <http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va & aid=16667>, 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 <http://shivchopra.com/?p=228> - 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.
