The Trillion-Dollar Conspiracy (14 page)

Awareness about GMOs in foods can be traced back as early as 2002. Although the FDA, EPA, and USDA all have stated that their research shows no long-term health risks from GMO foods, Dr. Stanley Ewen, a consultant histopathologist at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and one of Scotland’s leading experts in tissue diseases, warned in a report to a government health committee that eating GM food could cause cancer. In a report to a government health committee, Ewen expressed “great concern” about the use of the cauliflower mosaic virus as a “promoter” in GM foods that could increase the risk of stomach and colon cancers. Ewen wrote that the infectious virus is used like a tiny engine to drive implanted genes to express themselves and could encourage the growth of polyps in the stomach or colon. “The faster and bigger the polyps grow, the more likely they are to be malignant,” he wrote, adding, “It is possible cows’ milk will contain GM derivatives that can be directly ingested by humans as milk or cheese. Even a lightly cooked, thick fillet steak could contain active GM material.”

Cancer was only one of some fifty harmful effects of GMO foods and growth hormones listed in a research article by nutritionist Nathan Batalion that included a warning from Harvard biology professor Dr. George Wald, a Nobel Laureate in Medicine.

“Our morality up to now has been to go ahead without restriction to learn all that we can about nature. Restructuring nature was not part of the bargain. This direction may be not only unwise, but dangerous. Potentially, it could breed new animal and plant diseases, new sources of cancer, novel epidemics,” stated Wald.

Monsanto’s growth hormone IGF-1 has been linked to increased risk of human colorectal and breast cancer in studies both in the United States and Canada. However, the FDA downplayed the significance of such studies.

Reflecting concern over the safety of GMOs, the UN’s Food Safety Agency, representing 101 nations worldwide, in 1999 ruled unanimously to continue a 1993 European moratorium on Monsanto’s genetically engineered hormonal milk (rBGH). This ban was not reported in the American media, further indicating the extent of Monsanto’s influence in the media.

Award-winning journalists Steve Wilson and Jane Akre both were fired when they tried to expose the cover-up of such studies as well as the ban on growth hormones in Europe. According to the Goldman Environmental Prize website, “As investigative reporters for the Fox Television affiliate in Tampa, Florida, [Wilson and Akre] discovered that while the hormone had been banned in Canada, Europe and most other countries, millions of Americans were unknowingly drinking milk from rBGH-treated cows. The duo documented how the hormone, which can harm cows, was approved by the government as a veterinary drug without adequately testing its effects on children and adults who drink rBGH milk. They also uncovered studies linking its effects to cancer in humans. Just before broadcast, the station cancelled the widely promoted reports after Monsanto, the hormone manufacturer, threatened Fox News with ‘dire consequences’ if the stories aired. Under pressure from Fox lawyers, the husband-and-wife team rewrote the story more than eighty times. After threats of dismissal and offers of six-figure sums to drop their ethical objections and keep quiet, they were fired in December, 1997.”

The addition of unsafe, even toxic, chemicals to food and water may be attributed to laxity and greed on the part of producers, but when coupled with the public statements of leading globalists concerning the desire to reduce the human population, which will be discussed later, it takes on a much darker aspect.

CODEX ALIMENTARIUS

O
NE WOULD THINK THAT
a good diet with plenty of vitamins might help prevent disease and malnutrition, but even here the New World Order may interfere.

The World Health Organization (WHO) was founded in 1948 with the goals of setting global standards of health and helping governments to strengthen national health programs. The WHO and the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) work together in committees, conferences, and commissions. One of their most significant joint efforts is the Codex Alimentarius (Latin for “food code”) Commission, which sets standards for food commodities, codes for hygiene and technology, pesticide evaluations, and limits on pesticide residues. It also evaluates food additives and veterinary drugs and sets guidelines for contaminants. Approximately 170 nations accept its standards and codes.

In recent years, controversy had grown over the application of food standards to traditional vitamins and mineral supplements. A major cause for concern by nutritionists is that the Codex Alimentarius list is recognized by the World Trade Organization (WTO). It is feared that the WTO will use Codex Alimentarius standards in disputes over the classification of vitamins as food.

Such fears are not irrational since in 1996 the German delegation to the Codex Alimentarius Commission advocated a ban on herbs, vitamins, and minerals sold for preventative or therapeutic reasons and advanced a position that supplements should be classified as drugs with attendant restrictions and physician prescriptions. Though the commission agreed, there was an aftermath of such public protest that passage of the new classifications was postponed. As protests waned in mid-2005, the commission quietly adopted guidelines for vitamin and mineral food supplements, allowing member countries to regulate dietary supplements as drugs or other categories. Although the new classifications do not yet ban supplements outright, they do subject them to labeling and packaging requirements, set criteria for the setting of maximum and minimum dosage levels, and require that safety and efficacy are considered when determining ingredient sources.

Should supplements become as inaccessible as prescription drugs, John Hammell, founder of International Advocates for Health Freedom (IAHF), believes that the average consumer will lose out on the benefits of simple remedies like herbs, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic remedies, and amino acids. “The name of the game for Codex Alimentarius is to shift all remedies into the prescription category so they can be controlled exclusively by the medical monopoly and its bosses, the major pharmaceutical firms,” said Hammell.

Despite government denials that this could occur, the Codex Alimentarius proposals are today law in Norway and Germany, where the entire health-food industry has literally been taken over by the drug companies. Hammell explained that in these countries, vitamin C above 200 mg is illegal as is vitamin E above 45 IU, vitamin B
₁
over 2.4 mg, and so on. “The same is true of ginkgo and many other herbs, and only one government-controlled pharmacy has the right to import supplements as medicines which they can sell to health food stores, convenience stores or pharmacies,” he added.

Opponents paint the Codex Alimentarius Commission as a “shady, secretive organization [that is] the thinly-veiled propaganda arm of the international pharmaceutical industry that does everything it can to promote industry objectives whilst limiting individual options to maintain health (which would diminish members’ profits).”

Behind the Codex Alimentarius Commission is the UN and the WHO. According to critics, both organizations are working for multinational pharmaceutical corporations and international banks whose owners support reducing the human population through such means as reducing the availability of necessary minerals in the human diet. This, in turn, could increase the occurrences of various debilitating diseases such as cancer and diabetes, the number three cause of death in adults in the United States.

Citing a study at the University of Vancouver Medical School, naturopathic physician and author Dr. Joel D. Wallach indicated that vanadium, a soft white metallic element found in certain minerals, could replace insulin in adult onset diabetics, a condition representing 85 percent of all diabetics.

In a 2005 speech, Wallach said, “I’ve seen it work on hundreds and hundreds of people. Now to me this is criminal. If you write to Hills Packing Company that makes Science Diet dog food…high tech foods for animals…and say, ‘How many minerals, exactly, is in Science Diet dog food?’ They’ll write back there’s 40 minerals. You write Checkerboard Square in St. Louis, Ralston Purina, and say ‘Just how many minerals are in your rat pellets for laboratory rats?’ They’ll say there are 28 minerals. I’ll give anybody…a crisp new $100 bill if you can find me a human infant formula in a grocery store that has more than 11 [minerals]…. So dogs get 40 minerals, rats get 28 minerals, and human infants get 11. Is that fair? No! Doesn’t matter if you’re talking about SMA, Similac, Isomilk, ProSoyB. In fact, that’s why they call Similac, Similac, because it lacks everything.”

While efforts in the United States to curtail vitamins and supplements have been stymied by public opposition, proponents found another ally in the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which has now made Codex a trade issue. At the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) (which created the World Trade Organization), the United States agreed to submit its laws to the international standards, which included the Codex Alimentarius Commission’s standards for dietary supplements. What this means is that now Codex Alimentarius is enforced by the WTO, whose international standards could supersede domestic laws without the American people’s consent or vote in the matter.

According to Hammell, if a country disagrees with or refuses to follow Codex standards, the WTO can apply pressure by withdrawing trade privileges and imposing crippling trade sanctions.

The WTO was established with the understanding it was to push the world toward greater economic integration. However, according to many, the WTO has ended up politicizing trade by putting the stamp of officialdom on some very bad policies and promotes further loss of American sovereignty to supranational organizations. According to Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr., president and founder of the Ludwig Von Mises Institute, “The WTO has the power to order Congress to change any U.S. law the WTO deems a ‘barrier to free trade.’ If Congress does not obey the WTO, then American businesses and consumers will face trade sanctions. Congress has already changed America’s tax laws in response to WTO commands. It is possible that the WTO will force America to adopt the restrictive regulations of foods and dietary supplements endorsed by the UN’s CODEX commission.”

Despite centuries of human experience with healing herbs and vitamins, today’s corporate medicine industry, especially the pharmaceutical giants that can be traced back to the Nazi I. G. Farben complex, has attempted to limit any healing agent to pharmaceuticals. Agents for this suppression of natural healing are the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission.

Legitimate standardized codes for dietary supplements, such as Codex Alimentarius, require expensive clinical studies, research, tests, and analysis well beyond the financial reach of all but the largest corporations. In other words, a huge mound of personal narratives supporting natural remedies would be useless against a few reports from well-paid corporate scientists. “In working to protect the business interests of vaccine manufacturers [the pharmaceutical corporations], both the FDA and FTC have declared all-out war against any products that might offer consumers options other than vaccines,” said Mike Adams,
NaturalNews
editor and self-styled “health ranger,” whose articles and books have attracted a worldwide audience of nearly a million people.

“The FDA’s official position is that there is no such thing as any herb, any plant, any nutrient or any dietary supplement that has any beneficial effect on the human body. Thus, no herb, plant, nutrient or supplement can EVER be approved by the FDA to protect against influenza. As you’ve figured out, the whole game is rigged from the start. Herbs that have anti-viral properties will never be approved as anti-virals. And, frankly, for the people running natural product companies to try to play the ‘FDA game’ is useless. You can never appease tyranny. Trying to ‘conform’ to the requirements of the FDA and FTC is like Jewish prisoners trying to conform to the wishes of Hitler. You’ve been condemned from the start!” said Adams.

FLUORIDATED WATER

H
OW SAFE IS DRINKING WATER
?

Controversy over the addition of the chemical sodium fluoride to municipal drinking water supplies has raged since the early 1950s. It was a time when Nazi scientists were being settled within the United States under the auspices of Project Paperclip.

The
Reader’s Digest Oxford Complete Wordfinder
defines fluoride merely as “any binary compound of fluorine.” But fluorine was defined as a “poisonous pale yellow gaseous element of the halogen group.”

Charles Eliot Perkins, a prominent U.S. industrial chemist, was sent by the U.S. government to help reconstruct the I. G. Farben chemical plants in Germany at the end of the war. In 1954, he wrote a letter to the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, stating that he had learned that the Nazi regime had used sodium fluoride as a means of “mass control.” “I want to make this very definite and very positive,” Perkins wrote. “The real reason behind water fluoridation is not to benefit children’s teeth…. The real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the resistance of the masses to domination and control and loss of liberty. Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluorine will in time gradually reduce the individual’s power to resist domination by slowly poisoning and narcotizing this area of brain tissue, and make him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him…. I say this with all the earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who has spent nearly 20 years’ research into the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology of ‘fluorine.’…Any person who drinks artificially fluoridated water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same person, mentally or physically.”
