Public Meeting to Review Positions of Codex Committee on Food Additives

Just typed "Codex" into Google and clicked "news" to see if anything popped-up. What a nice surprise. This is an official U.S. government press release, but it's only been referenced by one other website (so far) as far as I can tell. Still, there's a time and date for a truth action and contact info to interview spokespeople on it.

Big Pharmacide is likely pushing for these policies to criminalize natural health remedies by labeling them dangerous and leaving us popping pills, especially since Codex was started by a former Bayer employee who was an ex-Nazi. After he got out of jail he pitched the idea to the UN and voila, they were down for controlling us.

There's actually two meetings on this in the U.S. coming up in the next month. I'm sure there are more in Canada and around the world before the "22nd Session of the Codex Committee on Fats and Oils (CCFO)" in Penang, Malaysia, Feb. 21-25. They even say they're making plans for the whole world in their own damn press release.

Should we maybe ask some silly questions to get some silly answers?

Should we try to get into these meetings and get people into the info war?

Should we March On Ottawa on Canada Day to let everyone there know we... know?

Meanwhile... a tip of the toque to our North American Unionized Jahnkee bretheren...
