Annie and Collesgues:
Here is the latest development of the Codex.
I can't really believe that this is actually being promulgated by
"intelligent" people!!!.......but it is!!
SCARY!!!!

     Codex Alimentarius: Population control under the guise of consumer
     protection
    
<http://circleof13.blogspot.com/2008/12/codex-alimentarius-population-control.html>

The most dominant country behind the agenda of Codex is the United States whose
sole purpose is to benefit multinational interests like Big Pharma, Big
Agribusiness, Big Chema and the like. At the latest
 meeting in Geneva, the U.S.
recently became the chair of Codex which will facilitate an exacerbation of the
distortion of health freedom and will continue the promulgation of
misinformation and lies about genetically modified organism (GMOs) and nutrients
while fulfilling the tacit population control agenda. The reason the U.S.
continues to dominate Codex is because other countries falsely believe the U.S.
possesses the latest and greatest safety technology when it comes to food and
hence, whatever the U.S. asks for, its allies (E.U., Argentina, Brazil, Canada,
Mexico, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore) follow suit nearly
every time.

Many of the countries who wish to participate and want to voice their opinions
are not allowed to attend the Codex meetings as the U.S. denies most visas for
these representatives whenever they feel like it. Many of these countries (South
Africa, Swaziland, Kenya,
 Ghana, Egypt, Cameroon, Sudan, Nigeria) realize that
Codex has been altered from a benevolent food organization to one that is
fraudulent, lethal and illegitimate. The fact that Codex meetings are held all
over the world is also no accident and allows the U.S. to maintain its tight
grip on the Codex agenda as the less economically viable countries are not able
to attend.

*The Real Threat*

While the esoteric agenda of the media is busy driving fear into the hearts of
the world by focusing on terrorism, global warming, salmonella, and food
shortages, the real threats are clandestinely becoming a reality. Soon every
single thing you put into your mouth (with the exception of pharmaceuticals, of
course) will be highly regulated by Codex Alimentarius, including water. The
standards of Codex are a complete affront to the freedom of clean and healthy
food, yet these regulations have no legal international
 standing. Why should we
be worried? These soon-to-be mandatory standards will apply to every country who
are members of the WTO (World Trade Organization). If countries do not follow
these standards, then enormous trade sanctions will result. Some Codex standards
that will take effect on December 31, 2009 and once initiated are completely
irrevocable include [2]:

* /All/ nutrients (vitamins and minerals) are to be considered toxins/poisons
and are to be removed from /all/ food because Codex prohibits the use of
nutrients to "prevent, treat or cure any condition or disease"

* /All/ food (including organic) is to be irradiated, removing all toxic
nutrients from food (unless eaten locally and raw).

* Nutrients allowed will be limited to a Positive List developed by Codex which
will include such beneficial nutrients like Fluoride (3.8 mg daily) developed
from environmental waste. All other nutrients will be
 prohibited nationally and
internationally to all Codex-compliant countries [2].

* /All/ nutrients (e.g., CoQ10, Vitamins A, B, C, D, Zinc and Magnesium) that
have any positive health impact on the body will be deemed illegal under Codex
and are to be reduced to amounts negligible to humans' health [3].

* You will not even be able to obtain these anywhere in the world even with a
prescription.

* /All/ advice on nutrition (including written online or journal articles or
oral advice to a friend, family member or anyone) will be illegal. This includes
naturalnews.com reports on vitamins and minerals and all nutritionist's
consultations.

* /All/ dairy cows are to be treated with Monsanto's recombinant bovine
growth hormone.

* /All/ animals used for food are to be treated with potent antibiotics and
exogenous growth hormones.

* The reintroduction of deadly and carcinogenic organic pesticides
 that in
1991, 176 countries (including the U.S.) have banned worldwide including 7 of
the 12 worst at the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pesticides (e.g.,
Hexachlorobenzene, Toxaphene, and Aldrin) will be allowed back into food at
elevated levels [4].

* Dangerous and toxic levels (0.5 ppb) of aflotoxin in milk produced from moldy
storage conditions of animal feed will be allowed. Aflotoxin is the second most
potent (non-radiation) carcinogenic compound known to man.

* Mandatory use of growth hormones and antibiotics on all food herds, fish and
flocks

* Worldwide implementation of unlabeled GMOs into crops, animals, fish and
trees.

* Elevated levels of residue from pesticides and insecticides that are toxic to
humans and animals.

Some examples of potential permissible safe levels of nutrients under Codex
include [2]:

* Niacin - upper limits of 34 mcg daily (effective
 daily doses include 2000 to
3000 mcgs).

* Vitamin C - upper limits of 65 to 225 mcg daily (effective daily doses
include 6000 to 10000 mcgs).

* Vitamin D - upper limits of 5 μg daily (effective daily doses include 6000
to 10000 μg).

* Vitamin E - upper limits of 15 IU of alpha tocopherol only per day, even
though alpha tocopherol by itself has been implicated in cell damage and is
toxic to the body (effective daily doses of mixed tocopherols include 10000 to
12000 IU).

*The Door is Open for Codex*

In 1995, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) created an illegal policy
stating that international standards (i.e, Codex) would supersede U.S. laws
governing all food even if these standards were incomplete [5]. Furthermore, in
2004 the U.S. passed the Central American Free Trade Agreement (illegal under
U.S. law, but legal under international law) that requires the U.S. to conform
to
 Codex in December of 2009 [6].

Once these standards are adopted there is no possible way to return to the
standards of the old. Once Codex compliance begins in /any/ area, as long as we
remain a member of the WTO, it is totally irrevocable. These standards are then
unable to be repealed, changed or altered in any way shape or form [1, 2, 7].

Population control for money is the easiest way to describe the new Codex which
is run by the U.S. and controlled by Big Pharma and the like to reduce the
population to a sustainable 500 million - a reduction of approximately 93
percent. The FAO and WHO have the audacity to estimate that by the introduction
of just the vitamin and mineral guideline alone, at a minimum 3 billion deaths
(1 billion from starvation and another 2 billion from preventable and
degenerative diseases of under nutrition, e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disease,
and diabetes) will
 result.

Degraded, demineralized, pesticide-filled and irradiated foods are the fastest
and most efficient way to cause a profitable surge in malnutrition, preventable
and degenerative disease which the most appropriate course of action is always
pharmaceuticals. Death for profit is the new name of the game. Big Pharma has
been waiting for this opportunity for years.
