Senate Bill S510 Makes it illegal to Grow, Share, Trade or Sell Homegrown Food

This video was posted on Tuesday, May 11th, 2010 and filed under Headlines, Videos.
Update:
Since the story first broke, a lot has happened. One reason for this could be that food is being poisoned. Collecting rainwater is now illegal in many states. Your intake is being controlled. For more information, visit the following articles as well:

Why do people in America refuse to take active interest in their future?

S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010,  may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the US.  It is to our food what the bailout was to our economy, only we can live without money.

“If accepted [S 510] would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes.  It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God.”  ~Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistleblower

It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during British rule, only S 510 extends control over all food in the US, violating the fundamental human right to food.

Monsanto says it has no interest in the bill and would not benefit from it, but Monsanto’s Michael Taylor who gave us rBGH and unregulated genetically modified (GM) organisms, appears to have designed it and is waiting as an appointed Food Czar to the FDA (a position unapproved by Congress) to administer the agency it would create — without judicial review — if it passes.  S 510 would give Monsanto unlimited power over all US seed, food supplements, food and farming.

History

In the 1990s, Bill Clinton introduced HACCP (Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Points) purportedly to deal with contamination in the meat industry.  Clinton’s HACCP delighted the offending corporate (World Trade Organization “WTO”) meat packers since it allowed them to inspect themselves, eliminated thousands of local food processors (with no history of contamination), and centralized meat into their control.  Monsanto promoted HACCP.

In 2008, Hillary Clinton, urged a powerful centralized food safety agency as part of her campaign for president.  Her advisor was Mark Penn, CEO of Burson Marsteller*, a giant PR firm representing Monsanto.  Clinton lost, but Clinton friends such as Rosa DeLauro, whose husband’s firm lists Monsanto as a progressive client and globalization as an area of expertise, introduced early versions of S 510.

S 510 fails on moral, social, economic, political, constitutional, and human survival grounds.

1.  It puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, in the event of contamination or an ill-defined emergency.  It resembles the Kissinger Plan.

2.  It would end US sovereignty over its own food supply by insisting on compliance with the WTO, thus threatening national security.  It would end the Uruguay Round Agreement Act of 1994, which put US sovereignty and US law under perfect protection.  Instead, S 510 says:

COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS.

Nothing in this Act (or an amendment made by this Act) shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the agreement establishing the World Trade Organization or any other treaty or international agreement to which the United States is a party.

3.  It would allow the government, under Maritime Law, to define the introduction of any food into commerce (even direct sales between individuals) as smuggling into “the United States.” Since under that law, the US is a corporate entity and not a location, “entry of food into the US” covers food produced anywhere within the land mass of this country and “entering into” it by virtue of being produced.

4.  It imposes Codex Alimentarius on the US, a global system of control over food. It allows the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the WTO to take control of every food on earth and remove access to natural food supplements.  Its bizarre history and its expected impact in limiting access to adequate nutrition (while mandating GM food, GM animals, pesticides, hormones, irradiation of food, etc.) threatens all safe and organic food and health itself, since the world knows now it needs vitamins to survive, not just to treat illnesses.

5.  It would remove the right to clean, store and thus own seed in the US, putting control of seeds in the hands of Monsanto and other multinationals, threatening US security. See Seeds – How to criminalize them, for more details.

6.  It includes NAIS, an animal traceability program that threatens all small farmers and ranchers raising animals. The UN is participating through the WHO, FAO, WTO, and World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) in allowing mass slaughter of even heritage breeds of animals and without proof of disease.  Biodiversity in farm animals is being wiped out to substitute genetically engineered animals on which corporations hold patents.  Animal diseases can be falsely declared.  S 510 includes the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), despite its corrupt involvement in the H1N1 scandal, which is now said to have been concocted by the corporations.

7.  It extends a failed and destructive HACCP to all food, thus threatening to do to all local food production and farming what HACCP did to meat production – put it in corporate hands and worsen food safety.

8.  It deconstructs what is left of the American economy. It takes agriculture and food, which are the cornerstone of all economies, out of the hands of the citizenry, and puts them under the total control of multinational corporations influencing the UN, WHO, FAO and WTO, with HHS, and CDC, acting as agents, with Homeland Security as the enforcer.  The chance to rebuild the economy based on farming, ranching, gardens, food production, natural health, and all the jobs, tools and connected occupations would be eliminated.

9.  It would allow the government to mandate antibiotics, hormones, slaughterhouse waste, pesticides and GMOs. This would industrialize every farm in the US, eliminate local organic farming, greatly increase global warming from increased use of oil-based products and long-distance delivery of foods, and make food even more unsafe.  The five items listed — the Five Pillars of Food Safety — are precisely the items in the food supply which are the primary source of its danger.

10. It uses food crimes as the entry into police state power and control. The bill postpones defining all the regulations to be imposed; postpones defining crimes to be punished, postpones defining penalties to be applied.  It removes fundamental constitutional protections from all citizens in the country, making them subject to a corporate tribunal with unlimited power and penalties, and without judicial review. It is (similar to C-6 in Canada) the end of Rule of Law in the US.

In case you have been getting confused or pacified because of the amendments:

The “small farms” exclusion will soon be meaningless
The Tester Amendment of the bill did manage to exclude some smaller farmers from the more tyrannical provisions of the bill. As currently stated, this would exclude small farms that sell less than $500,000 worth of food and which sell most of their food locally.
However, Senators failed to consider what’s going to happen when the Federal Reserve keeps printing counterfeit money, devaluing the dollar and causing massive food price inflation. A farm that right now produces merely $100,000 worth of food (which could be a small, two-person farm) will soon find itself producing $500,000 worth of food (or more) due to the rapidly falling value of the U.S. dollar.
This is how the Federal Reserve’s money counterfeiting actions will further destroy America and place small family farms under the tyranny of the FDA.

    this is all just misinformed paranoid propoganda. You can read the legislation for yourself at http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:S510:

    This bill just makes it easier for the government to monitor and recall foods that could potentially spread disease. Remember the cafeteria meals that carried Hepatitis? That recall would now come directly from the Secretary of Health and Human Services. It also monitors import foods for disease and allows the Secretary to stop specific importers if they aren’t in compliance.

    Or maybe you like food distributors being able to infect your body with Hepatitis and other diseases?

    First of all, this is a great big crock and after finding out the truth, I won’t believe a thing from this site for giving misinformation. If you want to know the truth about Senate Bill S510, go to a govt site or to a legit govt. watch site like http://www.govtrack.us . To find out about all S510 on govtrack.us, I navigated to the following: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-510 . Click on where it says “summary”. It will tell you all about it. DON’T BE A SHEEP, DIG DEEP.
    And, Mega is right, if, after you have done some research and find something to your dislike that the govt is doing or thinking of doing, call or write your congressman. If you don’t know who yours is or how to contact them, go to the following site and it will tell you who and how. : http://www.researchamerica.org/

    The Act doesn’t say specifically some of the statements, but it does lay the foundation for what is reported. Section 103 of the ACT seems kind of broad to me it could mean anyone growing anything. Section 404 however is an interesting add to the ACT as well. Although I am surprised some of the Sections dealing with imported foods aren’t already in place.

    Here is wisdom:

    Do you know the difference between unlawful and illegal?

    Not many people do. Most people equate them to meaning the same thing. There is a big difference and it’s crucial to appreciate it.

    English Common Law (which is the foundation of US law) states that there is only one (common) law.

    “Cause no harm or loss to another.”

    It is clear that growing your own food or swapping it with another causes no harm or loss.

    Thievery, murder … these are crimes under common law jurisdiction.

    Everything additional to this (Acts of Parliament, Congress etc) are only statutes, which require the consent of society.

    We are hoodwinked into believing that we don’t have a choice in the matter. In actual fact, we do.

    Your birth certificate is actually a registration of your employment as an ‘employee’ of the state. You can resign.

    Here’s the BIG news. So big, you probably won’t believe this (which is a good thing! Research it for yourself and don’t believe everything you read!)

    The big news is: You only have to follow the common law.
    You don’t have to follow statutes.

    You don’t have to pay income tax.
    You don’t have to have a drivers’ license in order to drive an automobile.
    You don’t need a gun license to have a gun.
    The list goes on and on.

    This is the “Grand Deception”

    Think about it. Don’t live your life as an ignorant slave. Of course there will always be those ready and willing to enslave you.

    WAKE UP! I can type all day but you really have to see for yourself.

    Maybe start by taking a look here: http://www.fmotl.com/

    Having actually read both this article and the bill, I have to say, this article is extremest and paranoid at best. Rather than take the rubbish presented by this article as truth, read the bill for yourself and then come to a determination. If you only take the word of someone who feels the world is out to get them, and not go to the source, then you’re in about as sorry shape as the article writer. If you really think that this affects every farm, think again; it only affects those people who SELL THEIR PRODUCE TO OTHER PEOPLE. It’s right there in the wording of the bill.
