- S510 http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-510,
the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010, may be the most
dangerous bill in the history of the US. (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-510
)
-
- "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." 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." ~ Dr.
Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistleblower.

- 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 Organization 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.
