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

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.

Surely everyone here is familiar with Codex Alimentarius? No? This Senate bill is the beginning of the "legal" implementation of this UN Trade Code that has begun to be enforced globally Jan. 1 of this year, much like the consistent legal amnesty granted the Mexicants crossing our borders "legalizes" the existence of the hush-hush North American Union.

Here is a quick tour of the mind-blow that is Codex Alimentarius: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=155

Excellent further, more indepth info can be found by searching Dr. Rima Laibow. She has many excellent videos out, and has written many papers. She has dedicated her life to trying to stop the implementation of this completely tyrannical JEWISH U.N./N.W.O. code.

This poses a serious question: How do we "remove" ourselves from this Babylonian chokehold, if not enough of us can block it's passage? They are not content with just controlling our money. And I'm not quite convinced that if we simply stop "worshipping" the jew and supporting it that they will go away, as you alluded to Bill, in your recent guest appearance on The Patriot Dames (which was a fabulous show Bill! Amazing how you were able to summarize the key factual points of history from Genesis til now). They want absolute control over ALL of Yah's creation and are on the verge of obliterating the last of the bloodline of Israel. They are now in a feeding frenzy. We can keep "removing" ourselves, as we should be, but they will be rooting around for us like a hog looks for truffles.

Time to start breaking out your imprecatory prayers, my brethren, and always have them on the tip of your tongue. Our only true recourse will come at the hands of Yahshua, and imprecatory prayer may hasten his return. Praise Yahweh!

I have not read enough of this to jump to the conclusions that some have, however click here for a PDF copy of S-510.

Click here for the govtrack page on this bill, which also shows that many "small food" organizations oppose it, while many more "big food" organizations back it.

Here is a prime example of misleading information...

Apr 28, 2010 12:44 PM - Will this bill stop me from making my own sauces and then sharing them with friends or family? Will I be required to pay $500 and classified as a food producer, subject to inspections and regulation if I choose to give away or sell any of my home grown and canned foods? - Read Answers
Answered by a visitor on May 19, 2010 11:38 AM - Section 102 refers to 21 U.S.C. 350d(a) to determine who is required to register.

From 21 U.S.C. 350d(a)(1):


"The Secretary shall by regulation require that any facility engaged in manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding food for consumption in the United States be registered with the Secretary."


The definition of facility is found in 21 U.S.C. 350d(b)(1):


"The term ?facility? includes any factory, warehouse, or establishment (including a factory, warehouse, or establishment of an importer) that manufactures, processes, packs, or holds food. Such term does not include farms; restaurants; other retail food establishments; nonprofit food establishments in which food is prepared for or served directly to the consumer; or fishing vessels (except such vessels engaged in processing as defined in section 123.3(k) of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations).


So, no. It doesn't look [emphasis mine] like you'd be required to register if you are only making your own sauces and sharing them with friends and family. If, on the other hand, you started to sell your canned foods to stores (not directly to the consumer) for resale, then yes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was the first Q&A from Bill's link. There is one MAJOR error here. There is no mention of "private residence" under the term "facility" or under the other terms that do not apply. Farms, restaurants, other retail food establishments, and nonprofit food establishments are all already registered with the govt. and therefore subject to their own govt. regulations, if not eventually the same ones here, even if they do not fall under the term "facility". To list "private residence" under the term "facility" is too obvious, and to make it seem like "private residence" falls under the catagory of farm, restaurant, retail food establishment, or non-profit food establishment is ludicrous. This leaves "private residence" (this is the term I use and probably NOT the term used in govt-ese) absolutely "open to interpretation". Keep in mind also, that farms, restaurants, etc. have their own monstrous set of rules and regulations that are constantly subject to change. All we need is an "outbreak of e. coli" traced back to a private residence to finalize the chokehold. With an out of control govt. that interprets the 1st Amendment as freedom to be immoral perverts and separation of church and state, and the 2nd Amendment to be the priviledge of civilians to be allowed to own registered hunting rifles, then there is no end to the amount of tyrrany able to be exerted over private citizens in the name of "food safety".
