(NaturalNews) Codeath (sorry, I meant Codex) Alimentarius, latin for

Food Code, is a very misunderstood organization that most people

(including nearly all U.S. congressmen) have never heard of, never

mind understand the true reality of this extremely powerful trade

organization. From the official Codex website (www.codexalimentar i

us.net) the altruistic purpose of this commission is in " protecting

health of the consumers and ensuring fair trade practices in the food

trade, and promoting coordination of all food standards work

undertaken by international governmental and non-governmental

organizations " . Codex is a joint venture regulated by the Food and

Agricultural Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO).

Brief History of Codex

The history of Codex began in 1893 when the Austria-Hungarian empire

decided it needed a specific set of guidelines by which the courts

could rule on cases dealing with food [1]. This regulatory set of

mandates became known as Codex Alimentarius and was effectively

implemented until the fall of the empire in 1918. The United Nations

(UN) met in 1962 and decided that Codex should be re-implemented

worldwide in order to protect health of the consumers. Two-thirds of

funding for Codex emanates from the FAO while the other third comes

from the WHO.

In 2002, the FAO and WHO had serious concerns about the direction of

Codex and hired an external consultant to determine its performance

since 1962 and to designate which direction to take the trade

organization [2]. The consultant concluded that Codex should be

immediately scrapped and eliminated. It was at this time that big

industry realized the full monetary potential of this organization

and exerted its powerful influence. The updated outcome was a toned

down report asking Codex to address 20 various concerns within the

organization.

Since 2002, the Codex Alimentarius Commission has covertly

surrendered its role as an international public health and consumer

protection organization. Under the helm of big industry, the sole

surreptitious purpose of the new codex is to increase profits for the

global corporate juggernauts while controlling the world through

food. The implicit understanding of their philosophy is that if you

control food, you control the world.

Codex Now

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 ƒÊg daily (effective daily doses

include 6000 to 10000 ƒÊg).

* 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.

Fighting Back

Dr. Rima Laibow, M.D., who is the medical director for Natural

Solutions Foundation, has undertaken legal action against the U.S.

government and continues to attend every Codex meeting while fighting

for your health freedom. The latest Codex meeting in Geneva heard

some dissenting voices that were tired of the U.S. bullying every

other country in the world with its population control agenda. Brazil

and China have stated that when smaller, underrepresented countries

are unable to attend Codex meetings (due to the U.S. not allowing

Visas or for lack of monetary means) then every decision made in

their absence is invalid. As a result, Codex may soon fall apart

under the weight of it own corruption, but pressure needs to be

unilaterally applied.

Dr. Rima has also been meeting with delegates from other countries

and making them aware of something called Private Standards. Private

standards allow countries to draft food standards which are safer and

higher than those mandated by Codex. Obviously, this is not a very

difficult task and many countries can seemingly circumvent the flawed

and irrevocable guidelines Codex is attempting to implement on

December 31, 2009 [7].

What Can You Do?

The only way to avoid such cataclysmic events are to fight with the

dissemination of knowledge to everyone you know. It does not matter

whether they are still asleep or hypnotized by the enslavement of

daily life or too busy to pay attention -- the time to wake up is

now. The U.S. government and the collaborating media have been trying

to distract America while all these egregious and mandatory standards

are covertly passed. It is time to take action and you can do so by

going to (www.healthfreedomu s a.org) and following the latest

updates

on Codex. You can also sign a legal citizen's petition here:

(http://www.healthfr eedomusa. org/index. p...) .

Another effective way to get your voice heard is through sending

emails or writing to your congressman (https://forms. house.gov/

wyr/welcome. shtml) . If you send one email to congress, it will

ostensibly count as 13,000 emails. The U.S. Congress believes that

for each person who takes the time to write or email them there are

another 13,000 others who share similar views but do not take the

time to promulgate them. Those living in other countries need to

contact their representatives in order to have your voice heard. It

is very important that swift and vociferous action be taken now.

Times are changing very rapidly and unless we all come together on

this issue we may all have to start thinking about growing our own

food in the near future to avoid extermination.
