    Some say the US won't give in on Codex. Since our politicians can be bought for next to nothing, don't be so sure.


    Big Pharma's
    Attempt To Subjugate
    Planet Earth...
    Opinion
    by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
    7-4-5


    Last week I went to a "Codex" conference in Washington DC. There a large and, so far, loosely knit coalition was formed to exchange information. We began to coordinate the battle to stop the Big Pharma controlled European Union from inflicting "Codex Alimentarious"health standards on the rest of the world.

    It will take me some time to absorb all of the information I heard, and read, but for now, let me make something clear - "Codex Alimentarious" is a plot to inflict "the German Model" of health care on all of Planet Earth. The primary targets are Europe (almost completed), Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States.

    The plot was hatched in Germany, I believe, and frankly, reeks more of a "world domination" scheme than a movement towards standardizing health care on Planet Earth.

    The group formed in Washington will focus on crushing the attempt to harmonize North American laws with "Codex," thereby preventing "the German Model" of health care from becoming the law of the North American continent.

    Did I actually say "World Domination?"

    Yes, I did. For good reason.

    The current version of what's known as "Western Medicine" has its roots, I'm embarrassed to admit, in Nazi Germany's Death Camps. Let's not forget that Mengele, and the boys, did the so-called "basic research," and established the philosophy "Western Medicine" operates by today...

    In order to understand "Codex," and make decisions about what to do about it, we need to understand who we are dealing with.

    Now, what we have in "Western Medicine," besides the "Codex" issue, is a serious conflict. One that, I think, carefully shows the morality, or lack of, that Big Pharma operates under.

    It goes like this - Drug companies on the one hand, with their "researchers" and their money men, want to keep the Mengele-like testing standards in place (I'm not joking) - and use them when they can, and where they can, to the chagrin, and the distaste, of the organized medical community and the worldwide Health Freedom Movement.

    For the most part, I believe, Planet Earth's pharmaceutical industry (Big Pharma) is a direct descendant of Nazi Germany's I.G. Farben, a company that was forcibly split up into four parts during the "Nuremberg..." trials. Those four companies, not only still exist, but control the significant part of the world's pharmaceutical drug trade.

    Scary? You bet it is.

    There are those, in the world, like world renowned Matthias Rath MD, that suggest that Big Pharma is, in fact, the rise of the Fourth Reich. He makes a good case for it.

    It may surprise some of us in the Health Freedom Movement to find out that conventional Medical Doctors are not in lock-step with Big Pharma on every issue. In fact, the opposite. The World Medical Association (WMA), for years has taken issue with the drug conglomerates. In the US, the American Medical Association (AMA) takes a similar role.

    As an example, there is an interesting AMA article called "Historical Postmortem," which talks about the famous "Helsinki Accord,"reached by world governments originally, in1964. As the AMA says "The Declaration of Helsinki emerged in the aftermath of World War II as one of the guidelines of biomedical ethical conduct."

    In the AMA article two important paragraphs lay out the huge depth of controversy between Big Pharma and the rest of the world, including conventional MD physicians. It is terribly important to understand the implications of this controversy. Basically, what the AMA is saying, quoting the WMA, is that Big Pharma sees no problem with continuing the Mengele-like drug testing wherever it can (like third world developing countries). The Helsinki Accord, updated in 1975, 1983, 1989, and 1996 is totally against that. But, as the AMA points out:

    In October 2000, at the 52nd World Medical Association General Assembly in Edinburgh, Scotland, the Declaration of Helsinki underwent a controversial revision, unleashing a firestorm of criticism from many researchers, drug companies, and bioethicists who claim that the new recommendations unnecessarily restrict and impede biomedical research on human subjects. Proponents of the changes claim that it protects patients by eliminating unethical research where the populations, such as those in developing nations, are most vulnerable.

    At the heart of the controversy is paragraph 29 of the Helsinki Declaration, which states that "the benefits, risks, burdens, and effectiveness of a new method should be tested against those of the best current prophylactic, diagnostic, and therapeutic methods. This does not exclude the use of placebo, or no treatment, in studies where no proven prophylactic, diagnostic or therapeutic method exists." In essence, the paragraph forbids the use of placebos as a control treatment in research studies unless no other proven treatment exists."

    The argument described above seems to be primarily about drug testing - but really it's about philosophy - the value of human life. Big Pharma, and its stable of murderous minions, like the "quackbuster" operation, for instance, want double-blind studies inflicted on mankind. In fact, the world of medicine can be divided into only two groups - those that insist on double-blind studies and other like-minded cruelties to man, and those that value life.

    What it boils down to is that the Helsinki Declaration shows that, worldwide, and continuously, there is an "us" and "them" view of the value of life. In this particular issue there is an alliance between the Health Freedom Movement, the medical doctor establishment, the world's governments, and most Universities - "us". On the other side, with banks full cash, and a few well paid minions, is Big Pharma - "them."

    Keep in mind that Big Pharma is no more afraid of "us," in 2005, than Adolph Hitler was in 1939. They have a similar determination, I think.

    Which brings us to the "Codex" issue, itself.

    A Canadian friend of mine, author Helke Ferrie, has what I think is a clear, concise explanation of the dangers of "Codex." Read this, and get worried:

    LIFE UNDER CODEX

    In the mid-1990s my mother, then in her 80s, had a stroke. She lived in Germany. When she left hospital, I was ready with a nutritional plan that included high-dose vitamins: C, E, and B - especially Inositol, as well as Co-enzyme Q 10. I went to the pharmacy, whose owner was a family friend for some 25 years, and handed him my list.

    He handed me a small packet with a price sticker of DM 200 (then about $200) containing vitamin E capsules manufactured by one of Germany's largest pharmaceutical companies. The source was synthetic, not the "mixed" version from living plant sources I wanted which contains the whole E spectrum. The package contained a total of 10,000 international units of E, the equivalent of a mere 25 capsules of 400 IU each that we are used to buying (I take that many in 3 days). Our bottles contain 90 capsules and cost about $20. If Codex rules in Canada, we will likely pay $800 for a bottle of 90 capsules of low-quality vitamin E - if Health Canada lets us buy that many at once, and if you can find a doctor willing to prescribe it.

    He then handed me a tube-shaped metal container with vitamin C effervescent tablets. Each tablet, when dissolved in water, would release 10 mg of vitamin C in a refined sugar solution. Thus, this ridiculously low amount, was to be taken in a toxic medium that would neutralize the vitamin without it doing anything at all. The cost: about $10 for 12 tablets.

    Then he asked me, "What's Co-enzyme Q 10? Are you allowed to buy all this in Canada in such dangerous dosages?" When I told him what I take daily, his eyes popped. Then I asked, "Why can't I buy these supplements here?" He replied, "Well, Germany is a Codex country." Oddly, Germany has several government-run hospitals where environmental illness is treated with nutrients only, intravenous vitamin C etc. Life is full of paradoxes and few more follow below.

    CODEX AND THE EU

    Dr. Carolyn Dean, a medical doctor and naturopath well known to Toronto readers, is currently the president of "Friends of Freedom International" in which capacity she attended the Codex meeting in Bonn last November. She describes Codex as "the ultimate Big Brother marching backwards into the future."

    Effective 1 August, all vitamin and mineral supplements on the so-called "positive list", including everything from Beta Carotene to Zinc, will only be available in the 25 EU countries if they comply with specific rules set out in the 10 June 2002, EU Directive Relating to Food Supplements. All products must show maximum safe levels "as established by science."

    Those nutrients found in the mythic "balanced diet" are to be subtracted from the final values, and Article 6 (2) decrees that labels shall "not attribute to food supplements the property of preventing, treating or curing a human disease, or refer to such properties."

    So, the Directive's "science" knows nothing of Vitamin C preventing and curing scurvy, Vitamin D preventing and curing rickets and osteoporosis, or vitamin B curing and preventing anemia. It also ignores the mountain of evidence showing our diets are chronically deficient in essential nutrients because of factory-style farming practices.

    To "ensure a high level of protection for consumers and facilitate their choice", they even included baking soda and table salt. We must assume they will be unavailable as of 1 August anywhere in Europe - with interesting consequences for the tourist industry in the baked goods paradises Austria, Switzerland and France.

    Now, there is also a "negative list" covering essential fatty acids, phytonutrients, all the enzymes and more. Those cannot be marketed at all, until the EU scientific committee in charge has made a final decision. So, forget omega-3 and omega-6 fats, cod liver oil, and much more.

    The effect of this directive will be that thousands of products and businesses will be gone this year. In the UK alone some 21 million people will suddenly have no access to any supplement vitamins, minerals, enzymes, fatty acids and more. Since the onus is on businesses to produce the scientific information on safety, they can't produce or sell anything - not even to physicians who have the power to prescribe any toxic drug as well as any essential nutrient. Obviously, there will be ludicrous enforcement issues: Picture basement-concocted vitamins sold in dark alleys alongside crack and Ecstasy.

    We're in trouble in the US over the "Codex" problem. Why? Because there is too much conflict among the people who should be working together to solve the problem. We are not ready for big Pharma's assault - and it's coming.

    There are those in the Health Freedom Movement that insist that (1) the attack is imminent, (2) others that say that it's not, and (3) those that say that DSHEA laws will protect us completely. (4) Most, like me, are still asking questions.

    To those that say that (1) "the attack is imminent" I say "Could be... What form will it take, and what do we do about it?" I'm not hearing the right arguments though. I'm hearing hysteria, not facts. I want a reasonable analysis. Give me that and I'll support it, for I know that the mechanism to achieve the dreaded "harmonization" legislation, making our medical system just like Germany's, is primed, funded, and ready to go - and just waiting.

    To those that say that (1) "the attack is NOT imminent" I say "Could be... why do you say that? I want a reasonable analysis. Give me that and I'll support it, for I know that the mechanism to achieve the dreaded "harmonization" legislation, making our medical system just like Germany's, is primed, funded, and ready to go - and just waiting.

    To those that say that (1) "the DSHEA laws will protect us" I say "Could be... why do you say that? Still, I want a reasonable analysis. For my last comment is the same - and it is terribly important:

    "I know that the mechanism to achieve the dreaded "harmonization" legislation, making our medical system just like Germany's, is primed, funded, and ready to go - and just waiting."

    To those that say that are still asking questions, I say "Maybe we'll get a 'Pearl Harbor' before we get everybody together..."

    Stay tuned...

    HON. RON PAUL OF TEXAS
    BEFORE THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
    July 11, 2005

    Henry Lamb- A Great Freedom Fighter Documents how your Dietary Supplements are Under Attack

    Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to read "Your dietary supplements: Under attack again" by Henry Lamb, which I am inserting into the record. Mr. Lamb explains the threat to American consumers of dietary supplements and American sovereignty by the Codex Alimentarius commission, commonly referred to simply as Codex. The United Nations created Codex to establish international standards for foods and medicines. Just last week, representatives of the United States government agreed to a final version of Codex's standards on dietary supplements which, if implemented in the United States, could drastically reduce Americans' ability to obtain the supplements of their choice. Members of the American bureaucracy may be hoping to achieve via international fiat what they cannot achieve through the domestic law-making process--the power to restrict consumers' access to dietary supplements. American bureaucrats may gain this power if the World Trade Organization, which considers Codex "guidelines" the standard by which all other regulations are judged, decides that our failure to "harmonize" our regulations of dietary supplements to meet Codex's recommendations violates international trading standards! This could occur despite the fact that American consumers do not want to be subjected to the restrictive regulations common in other parts of the world, such as the European Union.

    This article is typical of Henry Lamb's work. For almost twenty years, beginning at an age when most Americans are contemplating retirement, Mr. Lamb has worked to expose and stop threats to American liberty, sovereignty, and prosperity. Mr. Lamb became involved in the battle for liberty when, as the CEO of a Tennessee construction company, he founded a state association of contractors to work against excessive regulations. In 1988, Henry Lamb founded the Environmental Conservation Organization to defend true environmentalism, which is rooted in the truth that there is no better steward of the environment than a private property owner, from those who used the environment as a cover for their radical statist agendas. Since 1992, Mr. Lamb and ECO have focused on the threat to economic liberty and self-government posed by the radical global environmental agenda.

    Henry Lamb works to further the cause of liberty by giving speeches around the country, editing an on-line magazine, making numerous television and radio appearances, and writing a weekly column to inform his fellow Americans of the latest scheme to undermine their freedoms. Mr. Lamb is the model of a citizen-activist, and all who wish to become involved in the battle for freedom can learn from his example. In conclusion, I once again urge my colleagues to read Mr. Lamb's article to learn about the need to protect American consumers from Codex, and I thank Mr. Lamb for his tireless devotion to the cause of freedom.

    YOUR DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS: UNDER ATTACK AGAIN (from WorldNetDaily, June 11, 2005)

    (By Henry Lamb)

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission sounds like one of those shadowy, sinister organizations conjured up by one-world-government nuts to scare people.

    Truth: It is!

    The Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization created this commission in the early 1960s to set standards for food safety and to ``harmonize'' the laws of member nations. The commission was endorsed by U.N. Resolution 39/248, which says:

    ``When formulating national policies and plans with regard to food, governments should take into account the need of all consumers for food security and should support and, as far as possible, adopt standards from the ..... Codex Alimentarius. .....''

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission consists of delegates from 163 member nations representing 97 percent of the world's population. It meets every two years, either in Rome or Geneva. Between meetings, the commission is governed by an executive committee that directs the activities of its many committees.

    Of immediate concern is the ongoing effort to bring dietary supplements in America under the control of standards set by this commission. Dietary supplements generate a $17 billion industry in the United States, which affects more than 150 million consumers, according to Congressional findings (H.R. 2485). Proposed procedures and standards could virtually destroy this market and deprive millions of Americans of the supplements they want to use.

    The European Union Directive on Dietary Supplements, which becomes law in August, severely restricts the types and quantities of supplements that may be legally sold. Most forms of vitamins C and E, for example, are not available, or are available only in extremely small doses. If current plans proceed on course, American consumers are in for a shock.

    How can this little-known international commission control what consumers buy in the United States?

    An even less-known agency, deep within the bowels of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is responsible for U.S. participation in the Codex Commission and designates delegates to each of the commission's committees. Barbara O. Schneeman is the delegate to the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Food for Special Dietary Uses.

    The effort to regulate dietary supplements has been under way for more than a decade. In 1994, Congress adopted the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which kept supplements beyond the reach of the drug police. In the past, Codex recommendations have been non-binding. Now, however, the Codex Alimentarius Commission is teaming up with the World Trade Organization to bring international enforcement to the dietary-supplement battle.

    Ironically, it was primarily the U.S. that brought the WTO into existence in 1994, as the successor to GATT, the General Agreement on Tarriffs and Trade. The WTO agreement specifically requires that the member nations--including the U.S.--conform its laws to meet the requirements of WTO decisions. Failure to conform results in stiff financial penalties. The Codex Commission and the European Union want the WTO to enforce Codex standards, which fly directly in the face of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.

    Pascal Lamy of France was just selected as director general of the WTO. Lamy served as a member of the French Socialist Party's steering committee and was chief of staff and representative of the European Commission for President Jacques Delors. Since 1995, he has served as a member of the Central Office of the Mouvement Européen (France) and as a member of the European Commission, responsible for trade.

    The Codex Commission will be meeting in Rome July 4-9 to adopt the final rules on dietary supplement use. Dr. Carolyn Dean, president of Friends of Freedom International, will attend this meeting and return to the U.S. just in time to present her report to the Sixth Annual Freedom 21 Conference in Reno, July 14-16.

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission's reach is much broader than dietary supplements. Its committees are also working on standards for pesticide residue, labeling of all kinds of foods, food additives and nutrients, veterinary medicine and drugs, as well as standards and methods for analysis. The function of this organization is to establish standards for all food worldwide and to enforce those standards through the power of the World Trade Organization.

    Few people know that there is such a thing as the Codex Alimentarius Commission. It was created to promote food safety in international trade. It is on the brink of becoming an Orwellian bureaucracy--far worse than the worst fantasies of the one-world conspiracy theories.

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission is neither fantasy nor theory; it is real.

    Radio Shack
    I have 3 pedals hooked up and needed another serial port. Radio Shack has the adapter you plug into your USB for about 20.00. Worked like a charm. The only tricky part is finding the right port listed in the program you are using.
    Listen to him on radio
    I sometimes listen to him while doing my late afternoon pick-up and deliveries on the radio.  I have also found out that a lot of time giving praise and appreciation to them when they do the job -- even though it is not to our satisfaction or as well as we can --gives them incentive to do more.  We don't like to be cut down all the time and have to re-do and so even though it may not be up to my standards I try to let the kids know that I appreciate it -- unless of course they have done a poor job on purpose -- another subject. 
    Radio Shack

    They sell a very inexpensive adapter for serial and/or game port to USB.  Mine works fine with Dictaphone EXText, eScription EditScript, etc.  I think I paid $10 for it at a local store.


    You can search radio shack online and see if your local store has them in stock or can get them.    many many new computers are going to exclusively USB ports, no more serial or parallel

    Try radio shack...for the past 4 or 5 days have been having very poor quality voice out of the blue - couldn't figure if it was my computer or phone lines or the client - but for 19.95 from R Shack I have ordered a head set that covers over background noise and also has a low/hi volume control, which I think I will really like...will let you know how it is when I get it if you are still having problems...the radio shack guy said he had 3 orders before mine...so maybe the MT world was aware they were on sale...Good Luck!


    Did you try Radio Shack????
    They have those adapters and they're cheap. They have all KINDS of adapters. Also replacement foams of various types.

    My husband has it in his car and I would like to listen at home, called customer service and the person had a limited knowledge of English so I had trouble understanding her. (Went to their website). Do I need an antenna and special radio or what?  It sounds like the price is inclusive once I get the equipment for the home radio.  Thanks


    I listen to Dr. Joy Brown sometimes on the radio

    e-mail her or call her and see what she says. She gives pretty good advice and is FREE!!


    If you can be positive about this relationship, you can be positive about yourself and meeting someone else. Remember, your gut feeling is what's right, and I think I know what your gut is telling you or you wouldn't be posting this in the first place, you just need someone to back you up. Don't waste any more time. & don't talk about THE REST OF YOUR LIFE -- you have choices you can make in this too as much as he has the choice to do/not do something -- it's just that you have the choice to stay in this stagnent pool of muck or get out, clean yourself off and never return to the dirty pool. Who knows what the future holds for you, but if you stay with him it will just be this same cycle over and over again, unfortunately. I say cut your losses now.


    On Hannity on radio just now - weatherman said will be 4/maybe 5 and hit

    That was what was on Hannity's radio show at 3:00 p.m. central time when he was interviewing a weatherman who has been in the business since 1978 and whose dad graduted in 1965 from Texas A&M in weather - so he has sure studied weather a long time (he says since he was 5 yo).


    Something to think about.


    i have found that radio shack has

    several adapters to choose from to convert to a USB port.  with each newer version of computers they seem to be cutting out the older types of ports (like used for older foot pedals/game ports, etc) and using "s" connections, usb, etc.  the computer that I have from 1995 has different ports than the tower I bought last summer and my laptop that I bought last summer so I have to use an adapter and everything is fine.

    Then while my car was being worked on, the TV in the waiting room was on CNN or one of those channels and I watched at least the first tower fall from there and just remember thinking "I can't believe this is happening."  I guess I was in shock, because I didn't cry until the memorial service at the National Cathedral was televised several days later.


    Thanks MTStars for JUMP TO radio button! sm
    Much appreciated!!!!  Now we can just jump from board to board. 
    Bose Headphones/Radio Shack

    I have definitely been considering ordering the Bose QC-3, but am a little hesitant because of their price.  I did find better prices on E-Bay, but not sure you would get a warranty with those (some are new though).  Also, since I do dictation via C-phone not sure they would work for that. 


    A few years ago I also had the noise canceling headphones from Radio Shack and used them off and on while working on-site, but found them to be very warm and a bit heavy...after a few years though they were not working well...and that is why I am looking at the Bose.


    Also tried the Etymotic 6 earbuds, which were supposed to be so good.  They are good, but I can't stand to have the earbuds in my ears for a very long period of time.


    Let me know if you purchase the Bose...would like to hear your opinion.


    If you go to messages from last week here there are a lot of good things said about the Bose QC earphones (both 2 and 3).


    He is on talk radio in the morning and has a TV show on CNN SM
    He is funny. His show is sociopolitical. He appeals to all political parties.
