Your right to eat healthy food and use supplements of your choice is rapidly vanishing, but every effort has been made to keep you in the dark about the coming nutricide.
Codex Alimentarius is scheduled for full global implementation on December 31, 2009, and not a word has been spoken in main stream media about this threat to humanity.
Yet, according to the projections based on figures from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a minimum of 3 billion people will die from the Codex mandated vitamin and mineral guideline alone.
Former Nazi is father of contemporary Codex
Codex is the enemy of everyone except those who will profit from it. Codex has an association with those who committed crimes during the Nazi regime. At the end of World War II, the Nuremberg tribunal judged Nazis who had committed horrendous crimes against humanity and sentenced them to prison terms. One of those found guilty was the president of the megalithic corporation I.G. Farben, Hermann Schmitz. His company was the largest chemical manufacturing enterprise in the world, and had extraordinary political and economic power and influence with the Hitlerian Nazi state. Farben produced the gas used in the Nazi gas chambers, and the steel for the railroads built to transport people to their deaths.
While serving his prison term, Schmitz looked for an alternative to brute force for controlling people and realized that people could be controlled through their food supply. When he got out of prison, he went to his friends at the United Nations (UN) and laid out a plan to take over the control of food worldwide. A trade commission called Codex Alimentarius (Latin for food code) was re-created under the guise of it being a consumer protection commission. But Codex was never in the business of protecting people. It has always been about money and profits at the expense of people.
In 1962, the timetable was set for Codex to be fully implemented on a global level by December 31, 2009. Under Codex, committees were established to create guidelines on such topics as fish and fisheries, fats and oils, fruits and vegetables, ground nuts, nutrition, food for specialized uses, and vitamins and minerals. There were 27 committees in all, creating a huge bureaucracy. Under Codex there are over 4,000 guidelines and regulations on everything that can be put into your mouth with the exception of pharmaceuticals which are not regulated by Codex.
Codex is a weapon being used to reduce the level of nutrition worldwide
Codex is an industry dominated regulation setting organization, and as such has no legal standing. Participation in Codex is said to be voluntary. But Codex has risen to the level of de facto legal standing because Codex is administered by the WHO and FAO. They fund it and run it at the request of the UN. Since the WHO and FAO are supposed to be about health, there is conflict of interest. The committees of Codex work up guidelines, rules and regulations, and present them to a Codex commission for ratification. Once they are ratified and approved by consensus, they become mandatory standards for any country that is a member of the WHO.
Codex was accepted when the WTO was formed in 1994 as a means of harmonizing food standards globally for easy trade between countries. As a result, countries must harmonize with Codex if they want to have any standing in a trade dispute. When disputes arise and countries are pulled in to WTO, the one that is Codex compliant automatically wins, regardless of the merits of its case.
Codex has become a weapon to make every nation scurry to become compliant to its mandated decline in nutritional standards. Compliance in the U.S. will mark the end of its consumer protection laws. Codex will not serve consumers. Codex will serve the interests of the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, and big agricultural industries.
Under Codex, nutrients are classified as poisons
The Dietary Substances Health and Education Act (DSHEA), was signed into law in 1994 for the purpose of ensuring that safe and appropriately labeled products would remain available to those who wanted to use them. In the findings associated with this law, Congress stated that there may be a positive relationship between sound dietary practice and good health, and a connection between dietary supplement use, reduced health-care expenses, and disease prevention. Under DSHEA, nutrients and herbs are classified as food. There is no upper limit set, and access is freely given. Americans are allowed to have any nutrients they want, because under English common law, anything that is not expressly forbidden is permitted.
Codex, on the other hand, is based on Napoleonic law and is much more restrictive. In 1994, the same year DSHEA was signed, Codex had nutrients declared to be toxic and poisonous. And as poisons, they claimed people must be protected from them through the use of toxicology and risk assessment, under which scientists test small doses on animals until they are able to discern an impact. They then take the first sign of the most minimal impact and divide this amount by 100 to establish a safety margin required from these poisons. This means that the largest dose of any nutrient allowed under Codex is 1/100th of the amount shown to produce the first discernable impact.
Nutrients allowed under Codex are limited to those on the positive list, expected to contain only 18 nutrients, one of them being fluoride. Although fluoride has no biological benefit whatsoever, it does make people complacent.
The Codex proponents now have several bills before Congress designed to overturn and get rid of DSHEA. Once this is accomplished, the U.S. will have been harmonized with the vitamin and mineral guidelines of codex. High potency, therapeutically effective, significant nutrients will then be illegal in the way that heroin is illegal. They will not even be available by prescription.
Codex supports toxic food additives, pesticides and GM foods
Codex poses a significant threat to the food supply, according to Dr. Robert Verkerk, founder and director of the Alliance for Natural Health. About 300 dangerous food additives that are mainly synthetic will be allowed under Codex, including aspartame, BHA, BHT, potassium bromate, tartrazine, and more. Dr. Verkerk is particularly concerned that no consideration has been given to potential risks associated with long-term exposure to mixtures of additives.
Codex sets limits for the dangerous industrial chemicals that can be used in food, but they are incredibly high, and the list of chemicals that can be used is long. In 2001, 176 countries including the U.S. got together and decided that 12 highly toxic organic chemicals, known as persistent organic pollutants (POPS), were so bad that they had to be banned. There are many more than 12 toxic chemicals used on food, but these 12 were unanimously declared to be the worst. Of these, 9 are pesticides.
Under Codex, 7 of the 9 forbidden POPS will again be allowed in the production of food. All together, Codex allows over 3,275 different pesticides, including those that are suspected carcinogens or endocrine disrupters. There is no consideration of the long-term effects of exposure to mixtures of pesticide residues in food.
Organic food governance will be dumbed down to suit the interests of large food producers. Various synthetic chemical additives and processing aids will be allowed, and food labeled as organic may be irradiated. Labeling will permit the use of hidden, non-organic ingredients.
Monsanto, a member of Codex, will benefit greatly as production of genetically modified (GM) foods are stepped up and more GM plants are given the green light. Terminator seeds will be approved for international trade. GM food animals will also be on the way.
Under Codex, every dairy animal can be treated with growth hormone, and all animals in the food chain will be treated with sub-clinical levels of antibiotics. Codex will lead to the required irradiation of all foods with the exception of those grown locally and sold raw.
Codex is food regulations that are in fact the legalization of mandated toxicity and under-nutrition. Of the 3 billion people initially expected to die as the result of the Codex vitamin and mineral guidelines, 2 billion of them will die from the preventable diseases that result from under-nutrition, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and many others. Those who will live will be the wealthy elites who are able to somehow provide themselves with sources of clean food and other nutrients.
Codex is legalized genocide
Dr. Gregory Damato, Ph.D., writing for Natural News, has characterized Codex as "population control for money". He sees Codex as run by the U.S. and controlled by the big pharmaceutical corporations and the likes of Monsanto with the purpose of reducing the population of the world to a level considered sustainable by those promulgating the New World Order. This would mean a reduction of approximately 93 percent of the current world population.
Once Codex standards are adopted there will be no turning back. When Codex compliance is instigated in any area, as long as the country remains a member of the WTO, those standards cannot be repealed, or altered in any way.
The time for modifying Codex guidelines is rapidly disappearing
Some hope remains. Over the years, the WTO has accepted Codex standards as presumptive evidence of the rules of trade between countries. However, several times in history, the WTO has refused to make Codex the single and only standard to be used in trade disputes. Under Codex`s own statutes, their guidelines are claimed to be "advisory", and nations are able to set up their own guidelines as long as they are more restrictive than those of Codex.
Since compliance with Codex standards is simply presumptive evidence, and not finally determinative, a nation can opt out of the guidelines in an effort to protect its traditional foods and remedies. The Codex two step process is a legal strategy developed to help nations wanting to do this. Under step one, the country develops its own food and health guidelines that may be at variance with Codex guidelines. For example, it may be much stricter on the issues of toxins in the food supply or on the issue of genetically modified foods. It may require, for example, that companies using GM ingredients be required to indicate them on food labels. In countries that refuse to use GM foods, this can be indicated on their label too, so that people can make informed choices. The second step is to adopt a national law that implements those guidelines on a sound scientific basis.
Normally, in a trade dispute before the WTO, the country that has adopted Codex guidelines will be the winner of that dispute based on those guidelines being presumptive evidence. However, when countries have gone through the two step process to create their own guidelines, there is no such presumption, and the WTO will look at the science behind the guidelines.
In the U.S. the door is open to Codex
In 1995, the FDA issued a policy statement saying that international standards such as Codex would supersede U.S. laws governing all food. Under the Central American Free Trade Agreement, which is illegal under current U.S. law, but is legal under international law, the U.S. is required to conform to Codex as it stands on December 31, 2009, unless it creates its own guidelines and gets them approved under the two step process. Given current government sentiment, this seems unlikely. Besides, as guidelines are one-by-one chiseled into standards, time is running out.

YUP.
However, government apologists will probably now begin to argue about what the
. . . meaning of “IS” is.
At some point, clueless willful blindness is about as traitorous as complicity.
Sheesh.
I’m beginning to think we need a list of folks on FR who are willfully blind and globalist apologists.
. . . folks still unwilling to wake up and smeel the seriousness of the agenda from hell.
Sheesh.
Amazing such folks are still on FR.
Actually, instead of sounding crazy from telling the truth . . . readers
NEED TO REALIZE THAT THE WORST WE DESCRIBE IS STILL NOT GOING TO BE AS BAD AS THE REALITY WILL TURN OUT TO BE.
Scripture is quite clear about this time being the worst the world has ever experienced or ever will experience.
Wake up folks.
Perhaps.
However, if mass genocide is not worth screaming about . . .
what is?
How does the watchman on the wall justify whispering about the looming hordes from hell?
I’ve read thousands of pages of factual information in the globalists own words in their own publications since 1965.
FACTS don’t seem to carry much weight with the willfully blind.
INDEED.
THX.
FACTS don’t seem to carry much weight with the willfully blind.”
There have been people seeing conspiracies everywhere for thousands of years.
Thank you, Quix. Vitally important truth is exactly what calls for citing researchable references.
Credibility is essential.
A persecution complex combined with paranoia is a powerful delusion. On FR, I’ve noticed that most people with a persecution complex are simply folks who have been stomped on too many times for typing comments that are mind-numbingly stupid.
The suggestion that all nutrients will be removed from all food is preposterous.
All nutrients? From all food?
Thanks for posting and discussing this.
I remember well, Texan, the insane attacks against you when you were warning of the real estate bubble.
I knew you were right, and everything happened just as you said it would.
Those attacking you for posting this info should be suspect. They are either stupid and refuse to read about this Codex etc crap, or they are huge government aka NWO supporters and want to make opponents look like kooks.
The very idea of a huge bunch of rules and regulations coordinated with the UN to control and regulate the US food supply is nefarious and evil in the extreme. At the very least it’s clear they want to eliminate small farms, family farms, and natural organic food. They want entire domination over all the food grown and processed in the US. The natural question would by “why?” It’s not just for money. People need food to live. Hmm.....
There's one other possibility you neglect to mention. "They" might remember that the tinfoilers were saying that Codex would become law when CAFTA passed in 2004, or other such nonsense.
Ahhh . . . I gather you are not a great student of history?
The current globalist one has been running for at least 100 years. Some say 400 years . . .
I gather you haven’t read even 10% of the quotes of our traitorous leaders the last 100 years ref’d in my tagline.
If you have not, then I guess we don’t share enough common vocabulary to have a meaningful dialogue.
Yes, I’m testy today. Wrestling with computer crash etc.
I’m also very annoyed with the traitors today.
And their shills.
There’s evidence piled high—rooms full of it—videos full of it.
Much of it in their OWN WORDS IN THEIR OWN PUBLICATIONS.
Having studied it for more than 44 years . . . I’ve read plenty of such facts.
Folks can either believe me as an expert or go suck rocks as far as I’m concerned at this point.
If they want to know the truth, they can find it.
If they are willfully blind, tankers full of facts will not sway them.
Thanks.
It helps to know those who refuse to consider the solid evidence in their own words.
I gather you’ve not read 10% of the quotes ref’d in my tagline either.
WILLFUL IGNORANCE, WILLFUL BLINDNESS
ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
impressive.
NOT.
Maybe you should take a supplement, or two, before they are banned again.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh . . . well done.
Perhaps the cohorts will be called to weigh-in.
It’s great when reps of the Inebriated Pontifical Magicsterical of the Academy of the Church of the Willfully Blind weighs in on a matter they chronically demonstrate such microscopically infitesimal knowledge about.
Thanks for being awake Bro and for standing up for the truth.
This thread is stealing time from desperately needful other tasks . . . but someone needs to sound the alarm loud and strong and persistently.
Timing with the globalists as with too many Christian prophecy types turns out to be exceedingly flexible to problematic, at best.
However, it’s comforting that you keep demonstrating that you are utterly clueless about the globalists own quotes and statements in their own referenced words and documents listed at the ref in my tagline.

Thanks for the reminder.
I did rush off without doing so today.
I’ll take them now.
There was a professor somewhere in Florida who wrote a book a few years ago about conspiracy theories in American politics. (I mention it because I can't remember the title and have always meant to read it). His premise was (I think) that one of the unique things about these conspiracies in the American context is that the conspiracy itself never changes, just the "player behind the scenes."
So you can start with the conspiracy theories about the Masons during the Founding, and trace them directly to the conspiracy theories about the Bilderberg Group, etc., at present.
Meaning that, when some version of the Codex passes Congress in 2037, some FReeper will exclaim, "I told you so!" "I was right all along!"
