Senate Bill S510 Makes it Illegal to Grow, Share, Trade or Sell
Homegrown Food
By Steve Green
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.” 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 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.
Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) is the sponsor of this bill.

Write these senators today and tell them to revoke their support
of Senate Bill 510!
You may use the following letter in your correspondence:
Dear Congress(wo)man,
I am writing to express my deep concern over your sponsorship
of Senate Bill 510. This bill represents yet another attempt to
place more power into the hands of a centralized government,
while taking power away from states and individual citizens. The
danger of this bill is that it does so in the domain of our food. It
sets in place a number of preconditions for manipulation of
America's food supply and threatens to strip us of our freedoms
to grow, sell, and buy food. We the people have elected you to
office to serve us, not to dis-empower us and make us subject to
bureaucratic regulations lacking our best interests. Please remove
your sponsorship from Bill S510.
Sincerely,
(your name)
Vice Bob's Letter ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Now, if the letter suggested above makes you feel like a beggar,
groveling for something that is already yours, and you feel that a
letter to your non-responsive servant representative is about as
useful as a screen door on a submarine, you might consider using
mine. I would suggest sending it to his/her local address - it makes
it more neighborly personal.

Dear Louie,
With reference to the Senate Bill S-510, now in the
processes
of being passed on Capital (sic) Hill. If you and your
'distinguished' colleges
have a lapse of good, solid, logical judgement and do pass S-510 into
law,
I have just one fervent, heartfelt request for you to pass on to the
soon
to be appointed Food Czar. If you do feel the necessity to send someone
to my private, sovereign homestead with the intent or the perceived
intent
to enforce this wholly and totally unconstitutional law, please accede
to my
request and NOT SEND A MARRIED MAN WITH CHILDREN. Please!!
Sincerely,
Bob Worn, Major-USAF (Retired)
