We can’t trust our own government

In order for this new, soon to be created agency to be able to track and control who produces food of any kind, either this new government corporation or HSD, will pull in the twelve agencies now supposedly overseeing food production. Now it all makes sense and the pieces all begin falling into place.  

_____________________________________________

While many individuals and groups have waged a constant and frustrating battle against the coming total seizure and control of food production as practiced by family farmers and ranchers historically, several questions have gone unanswered.  The biggest of all of course is, why? 

Common sense, combined with critical and analytical thinking, cannot produce a rational answer for the onslaught of legislation, expansion of government agencies known for their incompetence and waste, and the complicity of state governments.  

What is this all about?  

Codex meeting: One huge threat to US sovereingty

Doesn’t this all sound all warm and fuzzy?  Never mind that Codex has been the catalyst for hunger and starvation around the world, or that it is funded and controlled by multi-national corporations.  Just tack the United Nations on it and all of our laws and protections fall by the way side.   Our right to alternative health treatments, vitamins and supplments are about to go up in international smoke.  Rather than protecting quality of food or access to it, Codex facilitates the lowering of standards and regulations easing the way for higher multi-national corporate profits.  This isn’t about food safety, quality or access……its all about MONEY!   Marti
