Ever heard of the Codex Alimentarius? If not, don’t be surprised. It’s one of the best-kept “open secrets” of the U.S. government. It’s scheduled to take effect on December 21, 2009, and it may present the greatest disaster for our food supply—and thus for our health—this country has ever seen.
What is the Codex Alimentarius, and how did it come to pass?
In the Austro-Hungarian Empire between 1897 and 1911, a collection of standards and regulations for a wide variety of foods was developed, called the Codex Alimentarius Austriacus. It wasn’t legally binding but served as a useful reference for the courts to determine standards for specific foods.
The post-World War II rebirth of the Codex Alimentarius (or short, Codex), however, is much more dubious. To understand the full implications, we need to go back to the history of one huge conglomerate: The Interessengemeinschaft Farben, or IG Farben—a powerful cartel that consisted of German chemical and pharmaceutical companies such as BASF, Bayer, and Hoechst.
IG Farben was, you could say, the corporate arm of the Third Reich. Having lucrative contracts with Hitler’s regime, IG Farben produced everything from ammunition to Zyklon B, the nerve gas that was used to kill prisoners in the concentration camps. IG Farben was the single largest donor to Hitler’s election campaign… and later the single largest profiteer of World War II.
“Whenever the German Wehrmacht conquered another country, IG Farben followed, systematically taking over the industries of those countries,” states the website of the Dr. Rath Health Foundation, a non-profit promoter of natural health. “The U.S. government investigation of the factors that led to the Second World War in 1946 came to the conclusion that without IG Farben the Second World War would simply not have been possible.”
Auschwitz, the largest and most infamous German concentration camp, also benefited IG Farben. New, unsafe pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines were liberally tested on Auschwitz prisoners—many of which died during the tests.
Not surprising, the Nuremberg War Crime Tribunal prosecuted 24 IG Farben board members and executives for mass murder, slavery and other crimes against humanity. One of those convicted was Fritz ter Meer, the highest-ranking scientist on the executive board of IG Farben, who was sentenced to seven years in prison (of which he only served four). When asked during trial whether he thought those human experiments had been justified, he answered that “concentration camp prisoners were not subjected to exceptional suffering, because they would have been killed anyway.”
In 1955, ter Meer was reinstated as a member of the supervisory board at Bayer and one year later became its chairman. In 1962, together with other executives of BASF, Bayer and Hoechst, he was one of the main architects of the Codex Alimentarius.
“When he got out of jail, he went to his UN buddies,” said Dr. Rima Laibow, MD, in a passionate speech at the 2005 conference of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (NANP). “And he said, ‘[…] If we take over food worldwide, we have power worldwide.’”
The result was the creation of a trade commission called the Codex Alimentarius Commission, now funded and run by the UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).
At its foundation in 1994, the World Trade Organization (WTO) accepted the standards of the Codex—and by the end of 2009, all member countries of the WTO will be required to implement the Codex, “to harmonize the standards” for the global trade of foods.
In the U.S. meanwhile, Congress passed the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA) in 1994, which defined vitamins, minerals and herbs as foods, therefore not to be regulated by pharmaceutical standards. The Codex Alimentarius would reverse all that. It would treat those dietary supplements not as foods, but as toxins.
“How do you protect somebody from a poison?” asks Laibow. “You use toxicology. You use a science called ‘risk assessment.’”
Risk assessment, she explains, works as follows. You take the toxin in question, feed it to lab animals and “determine the dose that kills 50% of them. That’s called the LD 50. And you extrapolate what the LD 50 for a human being might be. Then you go down to the other end of the dosage range and you start feeding [little] bits of it to test animals, and you come up with the largest possible dose—the maximum permissible upper limit—that can be fed to an animal before a discernible impact is shown. […] Then you divide that by 100. […] And now you’ve got a safety margin, so you got 1/100 of the largest dose that can be given with no discernible impact.”
In other words, classified as toxins, vitamins, minerals and herbs would only be allowed to be marketed in doses that have no discernible impact on anyone. Then why bother taking them?
And that’s not all. Where our grocery and health food store shelves are now brimming with supplements, only 18 of them would be on the Codex whitelist. Everything not on the list, such as CoQ10, glucosamine, etc. would be illegal—not as in “prescription-only” illegal, but as in “take it and you go to jail” illegal.
But the mandatory requirements of the Codex will not only concern vitamins and minerals, but all foods. Under Codex rules, nearly all foods must be irradiated. And levels of radiation can be much higher than previously permitted.
While irradiated U.S. foods are currently treated with 1 – 7.5 kiloGray of radiation, the Codex would lift its already high limit of 10kiloGray—the equivalent of ca. 330 million chest X-rays—“when necessary to achieve a legitimate technological purpose,” whatever that may be. Granted, the text says, that the dose of radiation “should not compromise consumer safety or wholesomeness of the food.” Note, however, that it says “should,” not “shall” (an important legal difference, since “should” is not compulsory).
You buy rBST-free milk? Not much longer, because under the Codex all dairy cows will have to be treated with Monsanto’s recombinant bovine growth hormone. All animals used for human consumption will have to be fed antibiotics. Organic standards will be relaxed to include such measures. And did we mention that under the Codex, genetically modified (GM) produce will no longer have to be labeled?
Say good-bye to true organic food, and maybe even food that retains any resemblance of nutritional value.
Moreover, in 2001, twelve hazardous, cancer-causing organic chemicals called POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) were unanimously banned by 176 countries, including the United States. Codex Alimentarius will bring back seven of these forbidden substances—such as hexachlorobenzene, dieldrin, and aldrin—to be freely used again. Permitted levels of various chemicals in foods will be upped as well.
What, are they trying to kill us?
Rima Laibow has done the math, she claims, using figures coming directly from the WHO and FAO. And according to those epidemiological projections, she believes that just the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline alone will result in about 3 billion deaths. “1 billion through simple starvation,” she says. “But the next 2 billion, they will die from the preventable diseases of under-nutrition.”
She calls the new Codex standards “food regulations that are in fact the legalization of mandated toxicity and under-nutrition.”
Even if you’re thinking of emigrating to Thailand or Guatemala to escape this nutritional holocaust, forget it. Once implemented, the Codex Alimentarius will set food safety standards, rules and regulations for over 160 countries, or 97% of the world’s population...

This video hosted bi David Icke is a must watch... you should check out his web site.
I can see society unravelling here before my very eyes. People are losing people skills. Today my wheelchair malfunctioned and as a test I sat there to see who would help... One guy in a scooter, then I called a friend, we asked someone for help.
Another situation, just the other daymy brother found a man laying on the sidewalk, beat-up and bleeding from his head. My brother watched as people just stepped over, walked around and ignored him. My brother waited until the ambulance came. What happened to helping out our fellow humanity.
If we only knew what was going on... It is really easy too see in this democracy we are not free.

I have had the opportunity to get involved with Scotiabank's Buskerfest this summer it was a great event put on to support EPILEPSY TORONTO.
I had the opportunity to meet two of the Buskers from Australia... BENDY EM & SPACE COWBOY. These two were spectaclar showstoppers... really sexy performers... great performances! Bendy Em, is a contortionist who fits her body (and a basketball) into a 16 inch square plexiglass cube, which is suspended above the ground on scaffolding. Space Cowboy, juggles sharp objects, rides a ten foot unicycle, bends objects with his mind (psychokenesis), practices body suspension and swallows swords! He holds several Guiness Book world records.
BENDY EM INSIDE HER BOX! AWESOME!
WATCH THE SPACE COWBOY SWALLOW HIS SWORD! FANTASTIC!
Epilepsy Toronto's next event is on September 10th (Saturday) @ College & Spadina. There will be a block party with all proceeds going to the chaity.
So make sure you come out and donate to Epilepsy Toronto and stop by the C.A.L.M. booth to learn more about medical marijuana and how it can help epilepsy and many other chronic health conditions. I'll be at the booth... so make sure you come and check it out!
Epilepsy has affected me on a personal level... in 2004 I had a seizure, fell and broke my neck and am now a quadriplegic. C.A.L.M. is also my medical dispensary of choice, as living medicine provides relief from seizures, chronic pain and muscle spasms.

Associated Press has found that Japan exposed thousands of its citizens to risk by failing to use radiation forecasts in the early days of its nuclear crisis.
The government predicted Karino Elementary School would be in the path of the plume emerging from the tsunami-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. But the forecasts never reached decision-makers and the school was not cleared out. Instead, it became a temporary evacuation centre.
Parents and others gathered in the playground of the school at the height of the nuclear crisis and many ate and cooked in the open contaminated air.
It's unclear how much radiation people were exposed to or if they will suffer health problems. But the breakdown may hold lessons for other countries because similar warning systems are used around the world. This was their first test in a major crisis.
Meanwhile on Tuesday, the Japanese government decided to lift evacuation advisories in some areas more than 20 kilometres from the damaged nuclear plant, opening the way for tens of thousands of people to return home.
Officials said the lifting will allow about 25,000 people covered by the advisories to return home in about a month.
The enormous earthquake and tsunami demolished cooling functions at the nuclear plant, causing three reactor cores to melt and triggering fires and explosions that spread large amounts of radioactive particles outside the complex.
More than 80,000 residents fled their homes after the disaster.
Officials at Tokyo Electric Power Co., the utility that operates the plant, and the government have said in recent weeks that the reactors have stabilized and the amount of radiation being released is now minimal, yet they are building protective domes over the reactors.
This sends a mixed message of the current state of reactor safety.
Just like the British Petroleum disaster that hit the Gulf of Mexico is no longer in the media, because it is no longer newsworthy. The same has happened to this story eventhough the effects will last decades.

When it comes to promising scientific results that deserve much more investigation, is this what we should expect?
"Both the National Cancer Institute and several pharmaceutical companies declined to pay for the research. Neither applicants nor funders discuss the reasons an application is turned down. But good guesses are the general shortage of funds and the concept tried in this experiment was too novel and, thus, too risky for consideration," says the Huffington Post.
This quote is in regards to a new leukemia treatment that is surprising the researchers behind its creation. The treatment is providing results beyond their wildest expectations.
It's virtually eradicated cancerous leukemia cells in the first three patients it's been tested on.
In two of the three patients the process completely destroyed the most common type of leukemia. In the third patient, the treatment seems to have reduced the cancerous cells by 70 per cent.
"Within three weeks, the tumors had been blown away, in a way that was much more violent than we ever expected," said senior author Carl June, MD.
The breakthrough uses patients' own T cells to fight off cancer. Researchers took the T cells of the patients, ran them through a vaccine production facility, and then placed them back in to the patients' bodies following chemotherapy.Finding a cure to cancer would mean a loss of billions of dollars being put into the economy, thousands of businesses would go broke.
Speaking of cancer, the food that companies produce cause cancer (hot dogs, aspartame etc...) Is there a conspiracy, or is this coincidence?

I bet you thought that exorcisms were a thing of the past, or perhaps a myth only being explored in your favourite horror movie. Well, think again, excorcisms are being done everyday to cure people of what may just appear to be a common problem.
This is your own personal copy of Exorcism Orthodox & Roman Rituals... Hope it rids you of all your demons... by the way you're welcome!
Exorcism: Orthodox & Roman Rituals
This is for real!
WRITE YOUR OWN EXORCISM...
The standard exorcism procedure is found in The Great Book of Needs ( Euchologion or Trebnik ). This most comprehensive liturgical book of the Orthodox Church includes:
1. Opening blessing,
3. Psalms 142(143), 22(23), 26(27), 67(68), 50(51),
4. A hymn, Canon of Supplication to our Lord Jesus Christ (includes special litanies after odes 3,6,9);
5. Anointing with oil, with prayer of anointing that is the same prayer used in the service of healing unction.
6. Three prayers of exorcism by St. Basil and four prayers of St. John Chrysostom.
According the Typikon of St. Sava Monastery, Palestine, the blessed oil used in exorcism is removed from the temple and kept in the possession of the person receiving the exorcism for protective custody throughout life. At the time of the exorcised person's death, the residual oil will be buried with the remains in the coffin.

Interesting findings for Canadian employees and employers. Re: More expected from Canadian employees as large companies set bullish growth targets If you work for a major Canadian or American company in Canada, brace yourself. Your corporate leaders will be expecting more from you in the months and years ahead.According to a global survey of more than 1,600 senior decision makers at major corporations conducted by Hay Group, U.S. and Canadian corporate leaders have set bullish growth targets of 4.9 per cent this year, even though the North American economy is projected to grow only 2.8 per cent. By 2014, business leaders have annual growth targets of seven percent.Business leaders say they’re going to do it by increasing employee productivity. Three quarters of the senior decision makers in Canada said they would be asking more from their employees this year, even though 40 percent believe their employees are too stretched to deliver on current business objectives.A news release with more detailed survey findings below.
"Hay Group Study Finds Canadian and US CEOs Target Employee Performance to Achieve Bullish Growth in 2011"
Performance Management Systems are Broken
TORONTO, ONTARIO– CEOs have set bullish growth targets for 2011 and are demanding significant increases in workforce productivity to meet them, according to new research from global management consultancy Hay Group.
According to the study, firms globally are targeting 5.4 per cent growth for 2011, targets that, in most cases, outstrip International Monetary Fund (IMF) local economic forecasts for GDP growth (see table below).
In both the U.S. and Canada, firms are targeting 4.9 per cent growth for 2011. While this is less than growth targets globally, it is well above the North American economic growth forecast of 2.8 per cent reported in the latest figures released by the IMF. They are expecting even more in the years ahead. By 2014, Canadian and U.S. business leaders say they are targetting seven per cent annual growth.
“Business leaders in Canada and the U.S. face a significant challenge as they work to achieve aggressive growth targets with a workforce that is already stretched thin,” said Mark Hundert, Toronto-based National Director of Hay Group. “To fully harness the power of their employees, executives need to take a fresh look at how performance is really managed to ensure people are enabled to drive organizational performance.”
Hay Group’s report about Strategic performance management is based on research among 1,660 senior decision-makers in large firms across more than 30 countries worldwide. North America, senior decision makers at 50 Canadian companies and 250 American companies participated in Hay Group’s research.
The performance challenge
A strong majority of North American business leaders – two-thirds (66 per cent) in the U.S. and three quarters (74 per cent) in Canada – admit their growth targets present a challenge. To achieve these growth targets, business leaders in both countries say they need to increase productivity by six per cent on average, with the majority (69 per cent in the U.S. and 76 per cent in Canada) intending to ask even more from their workforces.
Meanwhile, 40 per cent of senior decision makers in Canada fear their employees are already too stretched to deliver current business objectives.
“In response to the economic downturn, North American business leaders focused solidly on controlling costs,” added Hundert. “Now, as they look to improve business results and get more discretionary effort from their people, it’s time for them to shift their focus to performance management.”
Spotlight on performance
Canadian business leaders understand that improving individual performance is critical to achieving their growth targets. The majority (78 per cent) plan to implement more rigorous individual performance management this year.
The vast majority of Canadian business leaders (90 per cent) also agree that individual performance management is an important driver of overall business performance. And more than half (60 per cent) believe it makes a difference to the bottom line.
Performance mismanagement
However, most companies don’t practice what they preach -- less than a quarter of firms align their performance management system to company strategy (22 per cent).
At the same time, while the majority of Canadian business leaders (96 per cent) stress that culture has an important influence on the effectiveness of performance management, only a quarter (24 per cent) of firms align their performance management strategy to company culture and values.
And despite this clear misalignment in performance management programs, 58 per cent of Canadian business leaders admit to spending 10 per cent or less of their time managing poor performance.
“Businesses that want to improve performance management don’t need to throw out their existing systems,” added Hundert. “Rather, they need to think about how to enhance their current system by having leaders provide more direction and clarity, so that employees know how their efforts tie into the broader strategy and impact results. It’s also critical that leaders create a culture of dialogue throughout the year, rather than relying on a once-a-year conversation about performance. However, the power of an organization’s culture as a whole should not be underestimated.”
One third of Canadian business leaders believe managers in their firms fail to use their performance management process effectively (34 per cent) and do not actively support the performance management process (34 per cent). A quarter describe their process as a ‘tick-box exercise’ (26 per cent).
“Most organizations view performance management as a process for controlling compensation. Leading organizations treat it as a management process that empowers employees to drive performance and creates discretionary effort.”
