NZ food bill to make growing food a government privilege rather than a human right

Apparently, in New Zealand, they might pass a bill in which people cannot even grow fruit in their backyard. According to this new CODEX (the same world wide WTO CODEX that the US Congress might pass), the safety of food is paramount. So, people cannot grow food without a government permit. This is insanity, but nevertheless, it probably will be passed in the USA because Senator McCain and others are major supporters.

If this CODEX is passed, then we will no longer be able to purchase most food supplements, like Vitamin C. In addition, this CODEX wants all foods to be processed, so we might not be able to eat fresh fruits or fresh salads any more. Don't laugh ... at most hospitals, all they already serve only processed foods, no fresh veggies or fresh salads.

They have actually been discussing something similar to this for here in the USA for about 4 years now. I recall reading a huge piece in one of my agriculture journals right after the last Presidential election At that time there was a bill that would make not only growing your own "kitchen" garden more difficult but also raising chickens, sheep, goats, pigs and having a milk cow or honeybee hives more difficult and eventually illegal. Such bills have come up quite often in our country for quite a few decades now.

Yes, but this WTO CODEX bill is now world wide and is being pushed by companies promoting GMO grown foods like MONSANTO and DOLE chemical companies.

NaturalNews) The God-given human right to freely cultivate food is under attack in New Zealand (NZ) as special interest groups and others are currently attempting to push a "food security" bill through the nation's parliament that will strip individuals of their right to grow food, save seeds, and even share the fruits of their labor with friends and family members.

Yep that is who is behind the lobbying for the bills introduced here in the USA. They have also been pushing to stop the sell of heirloom seeds here. I have a friend that actually did much of the lobbying to stop one of the bills they wanted from passing, this was either the last year Bush was in office or 2nd to last year. Anyhow they had a bill they wanted passed then and she was very instrumental in making sure it didn't.

Therefore, we must be eternally vigilant as the ungodly companies MONSANTO and DOLE want to have a total monopoly over the entire earth.

While Dole controls much of the productive land in Hawaii, Monsanto has purchased huge estates in the Philippines and in India, where they grow corn, cotton, and other crops. The people who work on those huge estates have higher rates of cancer and come down with terrible rashes. Bees and butterflies are dying in those countries too.

If such nonsense is passed then it is not a government for and by the people and must be overthrown. Politicians who support such bizarre legislation need to know that not only will their job be on the line but to expect alot worse.

That is why I did not vote for McCain, and I will not support McCain's favorite candidate Mitt R.

It's insanity. Monsanto is already developing aluminum-resistant seeds for all of this geo-engineering stuff they've got going on. Sad thing is, people don't even know it. Those who control the money, and those who control the food, ultimately control the world.

Not to mention that NDAA bill being signed in on New Years. Guarantee I'm already on a domestic terrorist list just for voicing my concerns online and in public.

This stuff really scares me. I can only be a bit of a broken record and advocate that people look seriously into Distributism and support the lifestyle and policies it reccomends (and contact me if they are keen to start some kind of back-to-the-land-distributist community.)

Again...this causes me to go back to what I read from Elder Paisios on this issue...part of the end times. :sorry:

When I stayed with the monks at the Holy Cross Hermitage four or five years ago, I heard to store up food, because in ten years, you won't have access to it. Take that as you will. I certainly believe it's a sign of the times, the new world order is not only coming, but has already arrived and is revealing itself.

I usually try to avoid political topics but this one is compelling. This is truly frightening and the impulse behind it seems to be one of totalitarianism & genocidal tendency. Forgive me for being so dark on this. Let us give thanks for what we have now and pray that the to the Lord with the intercessions of the saints that this madness be dispelled.

As human nature is no different today than it was all throughout history, people with power and money will do all that they can in order to get more power and money. For that reason I believe that this issue will become the world norm in the upcoming decades and that it will be illegal for anyone to grow their own non-government-sanctioned food.

But it won't be shoved down our throats (at least not most of us). Most of us will welcome it. Some of us will beg for it. They've already convinced us that we need doctors and hospitals to deliver babies; that fluoride in the water supply is good for us; that naturally-occuring fat in our food is bad for us; that breastfeeding is weird; that being constantly bombarded by antibiotics will keep us healthy. That we need government-controlled food is hardly a huge step away from all of that, and it took them almost no time to brainwash us into believing all those things (and many others).

The Obama admin. has given a free pass to Monsanto:
Cornucopia, WI – Over the holidays, the United States Department of Agriculture announced its approval of a novel strain of genetically engineered corn, developed by Monsanto, purportedly being “drought tolerant.”

Despite receiving nearly 45,000 public comments in opposition to this particular genetically engineered (GE) corn variety (and only 23 comments in favor), the Obama administration gave Monsanto the green light to release its newest GE corn variety freely into the environment and American food supply, without any governmental oversight or safety tracking.
Wholesale Approval of Genetically Engineered Foods — Obama Administration Disappoints/Angers Public | Cornucopia Institute

Monsanto products are not given to scientists for testing unless the testing is for features Monsanto approves of testing for (article in Sci. Am., iirc) - it has the legal right to do this.

But rights are the rule ... so the more power, the more rights.

:(

(Just found out, Romney used to work for Monsanto. Looks like the PE sector will be in need of huge bailouts in 2014; likely why he's getting massive financing from his old working chums ...)

Wow! No wonder McCain backs Romney.

Two chums being supported by Monsanto.

FACT: MONSANTO has a controlling majority of Whole Foods Markets stock in an unfriendly takeover bid.

FACT: WHOLE FOODS MARKETS support Planned Parenthood

I talked with quite a few employees at Whole Foods Market, and they are greatly saddened at the takeover by Monsanto.
In fact, in view of our depressed economy and the risk of changing jobs, they are quite upset.


My bishop said that it is perfectly okay to boycott MONSANTO and WHOLE FOODS MARKETS.
