Chemical Food Cosh, by amazing artist and homeopath Gina Tyler, http://ginatyler.com (with the words, "Chemical Food Cosh", added)In New Zealand, the goals of Codex Alimentarius are being implemented at a rate that can only make the technocrats of the US and EU envious. Proposed legislation—thus far sliding through the legislative process like a greased pig—will force controls on food production that can only favor multinational growers and threaten the existence of all small operations. It treats foods as a commodity and eliminates the presumption that people can grow and access their foods of choice.
Rather than being something we all understand and come to comprehend through the learning process that brings us to adulthood, food is redefined. According to the Food Safety Bill, food will no longer simply be “food”, it will become “food and food related products“. Food related products?
With the implementation of Food Bill 160-2, massive new powers, including powers of arrest, will be given to “food safety officers”, who can be members of the private sector. That means employees of Monsanto could be authorized to conduct raids. Worse, they will be given immunity from criminal and civil prosecution for any acts during those raids. Even marae, communal and sacred places, will be subject to their actions. Warrants will not be required so there will be no need for evidence of a crime, meaning anyone could be raided at any time…and there will be no recourse, no matter how egregious their acts.
Codex Alimentarius: The Reason for the Food Bill:
The purpose of the bill—as stated by New Zealand Food Safety Authority — is to bring New Zealand into line with Codex Alimentarius provisions. It is the goal of Codex Alimentarius to bring the entire world under subjugation by multinational corporate agribusiness.
They will define what food is.
They will decide what we can and cannot eat.
They will determine what we can and cannot know.
They will control what we put in our bodies.
Their will cannot be opposed, because they will have absolute power—with no means to check them with either criminal or civil sanctions.
They will not even need the approval of courts: raids will not require a warrant.
They will enforce their control through whatever means they choose—and they will define their arena of control as they choose.
It’s being sold as needed for food safety—but the fact is that any need for such measures exists only because of modern factory farming and factory food production methods. Until their advent, food was simply food. We knew how to take care of it. We knew how to grow it. We knew what was healthy. Now, though, food has been redefined as conglomerations of chemicals, divorced from their original living sources.
And we will soon have no option but to accept it—unless you act now.
Other countries such as Australia, UK, USA and Canada are next on the list.
