Subject: AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY SHREDDED AT G-20 SUMMIT - HEALTH FREEDOM & ALL FREEDOMS JEOPARDIZED


All of Us on the Edge of the Cliff

IAHF List:

Please watch this video of Dick Morris discussing what just happened at the G-20 Summit in London:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFDBkf4F_hs


Obama has just engaged in
the single most traitorous acts ever perpetrated
against the American people through his criminal actions at the G-20 Summit.

The Bilderberg puppet currently occupying the White House
must be opposed with every fiber of our being, along with his controllers- especially Zbignieu Brzezinski- current events are moving us toward civil war and martial here in America as our country is being forcibly dismantled right under our noses.

Read this commentary by Dick Morris- I'll have some thoughts about this and the implications for Health Freedom below it.

I'll also take a look at the (so called) "Cyber Security" bills sponsored by Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), and their implications as we seek to defend the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act by defending US Sovereignty as the main way of attempting to thwart the ruling elite's genocide and societal control agendas. Due to what has just happened at the G- 20 Summit,

The EU is now in control of America's financial decision making, not Congress.

The EU is driving what happens at Codex and they're in position now to force America into a North American Union dictatorship with Canada and Mexico, but we are going to monkeywrench this nonsense via strategic action that I'll outline below.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE HAS BEEN REPEALED

By DICK MORRIS

Published on DickMorris.com on April 6, 2009

On April 2, 2009, the work of July 4, 1776 was nullified at the meeting of the G-20 in London. The joint communiqué essentially announces a global economic union with uniform regulations and bylaws for all nations, including the United States. Henceforth, our SEC, Commodities Trading Commission, Federal Reserve Board and other regulators will have to march to the beat of drums pounded by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), a body of central bankers from each of the G-20 states and the European Union.

The mandate conferred on the FSB is remarkable for its scope and open-endedness. It is to set a "framework of internationally agreed high standards that a global financial system requires." These standards are to include the extension of "regulation and oversight to all systemically important financial institutions, instruments, and markets...[including] systemically important hedge funds."

Note the key word: "all." If the FSB, in its international wisdom, considers an institution or company "systemically important", it may regulate and over see it. This provision extends and internationalizes the proposals of the Obama Administration to regulate all firms, in whatever sector of the economy that it deems to be "too big to fail."

The FSB is also charged with "implementing...tough new principles on pay and compensation and to support sustainable compensation schemes and the corporate social responsibility of all firms."

That means that the FSB will regulate how much executives are to be paid and will enforce its idea of corporate social responsibility at "all firms."

The head of the Financial Stability Forum, the precursor to the new FSB, is Mario Draghi, Italy's central bank president. In a speech on February 21, 2009, he gave us clues to his thinking. He noted that "the progress we have made in revising the global regulatory framework...would have been unthinkable just months ago."

He said that "every financial institution capable of creating systemic risk will be subject to supervision." He adds that "it is envisaged that, at international level, the governance of financial institutions, executive compensation, and the special duties of intermediaries to protect retail investors will be subject to explicit supervision."

In remarks right before the London conference, Draghi said that while "I don't see the FSF [now the FSB] as a global regulator at the present time...it should be a standard setter that coordinates national agencies."

This "coordination of national agencies" and the "setting" of "standards" is an explicit statement of the mandate the FSB will have over our national regulatory agencies.

Obama, perhaps feeling guilty for the US role in triggering the international crisis, has, indeed, given away the store. Now we may no longer look to presidential appointees, confirmed by the Senate, to make policy for our economy. These decisions will be made internationally.

And Europe will dominate them. The FSF and, presumably, the FSB, is now composed of the central bankers of Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States plus representatives of the World Bank, the European Union, the IMF, and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Europe, in other words, has six of the twelve national members. The G-20 will enlarge the FSB to include all its member nations, but the pro-European bias will be clear. The United States, with a GDP three times that of the next largest G-20 member (Japan), will have one vote. So will Italy.

The Europeans have been trying to get their hands on our financial system for decades. It is essential to them that they rein in American free enterprise so that their socialist heaven will not be polluted by vices such as the profit motive. Now, with President Obama's approval, they have done it.

SENATOR ROCKEFELLER (D-WV) ATTACKS THE INTERNET UNDER GUISE OF "DEFENDING CYBER SECURITY"

Watch this:

http://vodpod.com/watch/1477517-jay-...net-censorship



Read this: Should Obama Control the Internet? http://www.motherjones.com/politics/...ntrol-internet

The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (PDF) gives the president the ability to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" and shut down or limit Internet traffic in any "critical" information network "in the interest of national security." The bill does not define a critical information network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to the president.

The bill does not only add to the power of the president. It also grants the Secretary of Commerce "access to all relevant data concerning [critical] networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access." This means he or she can monitor or access any data on private or public networks without regard to privacy laws.

Rockefeller made cybersecurity one of his key issues as a member of the Senate intelligence committee, which he chaired until last year. He now heads the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, which will take up this bill.

"We must protect our critical infrastructure at all costs—from our water to our electricity, to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records—the list goes on," Rockefeller said in a statement. Snowe echoed her colleague, saying, "if we fail to take swift action, we, regrettably, risk a cyber-Katrina."

But the wide powers outlined in the Rockefeller-Snowe legislation has at least one Internet advocacy group worried. "The cybersecurity threat is real," says Leslie Harris, head of the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), "but such a drastic federal intervention in private communications technology and networks could harm both security and privacy."

The bill could undermine the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), says CDT senior counsel Greg Nojeim. That law, enacted in the mid '80s, requires law enforcement seek a warrant before tapping in to data transmissions between computers.

"It's an incredibly broad authority," Nojeim says, pointing out that existing privacy laws "could fall to this authority."

Jennifer Granick, civil liberties director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, says that granting such power to the Commerce secretary could actually cause networks to be less safe. When one person can access all information on a network, "it makes it more vulnerable to intruders," Granick says. "You've basically established a path for the bad guys to skip down."

The bill's scope, she says, is "contrary to what the Constitution promises us." That's because of the impact it could have on Internet users' privacy rights: If the Commerce Department uncovers evidence of illegal activity when accessing "critical" networks, that information could be used against a potential defendant, even if the department never had the intent to find incriminating evidence. And this might violate the Constitutional protection against searches without cause.

"Once information is accessed, it can be used for whatever purpose, no matter the original reason for accessing something," Granick says. "Who's interested in this [bill]? Law enforcement and people in the security industry who want to ensure more government dollars go to them."

Nojeim, though, thinks it's possible the bill's powers could be trimmed as it moves through Congress. "We will be working with them to clarify just what is needed and how to accomplish that," he says. "We're hopeful that some of the very broad powers that the bill would confer won't be included."

HAD ENOUGH???

If you aren't already a member of Gun Owners of America, I urge you to join, massively forward their legislative alerts, and to start taking target practice at your nearest rifle range: http://gunowners.org/



Especially take note of the fact that Obama is setting up databases intended to match up gun owners with medical records so as to ban more people's access to firearms while charging each of us $10 Grand per year for the "privelege" by forcing us to get medical insurance: http://gunowners.org/a040209htm.htm and note that anti gunner Eric Holder has just been sworn in as Attorney General http://gunowners.org/a020409.htm We're getting very close to the time when it could become necessary to start shooting the terrorists occupying the District of Criminals.

You need to realize that the G-20 Summit just put the EU in control of our nations financial decision making. You need to realize that whats happening at Codex vis a vis Dietary Supplements is being driven by the EU where their draconian Food Supplements Directive, Medicines Directive, and Herbal Directives are threatening to crush consumer access to dietary supplements, and now the EU is in a position to force the accelerated dismantling of America and our being forced into a North American Union Dictatorship.

Obama is deeply committed to the planned destruction of America and all of our civil liberties, but we're not going to take ANY of this.

WHAT TO DO:

I want you all to call your Senators and Congressmen via the Capital Switchboard at 202-224-3121 in opposition to the Cybersecurity Act of 2009. It doesn't yet have a bill number according to thomas.loc.gov When you get your Congressman or Senator's aide on the phone, let them know you have joined Gun Owners of America, and that it appears like its getting very close to the time when we may have no choice but to declare war on the vast collection of mindless New World Order controlled zombies currently purporting to "represent" us inside the District of Criminals, especially the Obamation, Olympia Snowe, and Rockefeller.



We must remind these peons that we outnumber them heavily, and that we regard them to be terrorists. I don't know about you, but I've had more than ENOUGH!!



Thats one reason I joined the Nemenhah Band of the Native American Church: http://www.nemenhah.org/ I urge you to read their Brief issues of law at http://www.nemenhah.org/internal/resources.html and to grasp my reasons for joining.

You see, I am a Libertarian. I believe in my heart that all of us have the right to ingest any substance we want into what I fully believe are OUR bodies. I do not believe our bodies and minds are the property of the damn Government, but thats what THEY increasingly seem to believe. They act as though they think we are the collateral for the unpayable debt, and that they will do with us whatever they wish.

You'll be very glad to know that a Supreme Court decision protects members in good standing of the Native American Church to possess any substance they wish if they consider it to be a sacrament, be it marijuana, peyote, echinacea, or any other herb or dietary supplement.

You'll also be glad to know that recently in Ohio, a woman who was charged with "practicing medicine without a license" who was hauled before a Judge was apologized to by the Judge when he was made to realize that he in fact had no jurisdiction over her because she was a member of the Native American Church protected by this same Supreme Court decision.

You'll be glad to know that you don't have to have a drop of native blood to join, and you'll be glad to know that if you do join you can take courses from Cloudpiler Landis that will help you be your own doctor when Martial Law goes down and our predatory government attempts to start rounding up all dissenters.

You'll be glad to know that Cloudpiler is descended from the famous Chief Joseph who refused to ever live on a reservation, a courageous man who fought 13 pitched battles against the US Calvary during the course of a brilliant 1200 mile tactical retreat into Canada. Via the Nemenhah band we can defend against the FDA which would have no jurisdiction over any buyers clubs we set up for dietary supplements.

We don't have to take any of this **** laying down. I intend to fight these collectivist bastards with every fiber of my being, and I urge you to join me. Please forward this widely, and urge everyone you know to sign on to the IAHF email distribution list at www.iahf.com Rember to delete the unsub link at the bottom of this email before forwarding or else someone might click on it which would unsub you.

The General's Communiqué

Maj. Gen. Bert Stubblebine (U.S. Army Ret.)
President
SUMMARY:


URGENT: Slavery Means Someone Else Controls Your Body. Freedom Means You Do


http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o...aign_KEY=26996

Which is it? Are you a slave or a free man or woman? If you do nothing to oppose the disingenuous and deadly (literally deadly) "Food Safety" (sic) and "Food Security" (sic) bills like HR 875, S 425, and the even more dangerous HR 759, you are saying "Enslave me. Take away my access to clean, unadulterated food. Pump me up with toxins - pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, Mad Cow Disease [or BSE[ (only 1/10 of 1 % of the commercial cattle in our food supply MAY be tested for BSE although BSE occurs ONLY in commercial animals - and never, never in pasture grazed cattle. Pasture grazed cattle raisers run small operations. Just one more category of food producers these bills will run out of business - just like your grandma who makes her jams for the Church Bazaar - gone, forbidden from making, producing or storing clean, unadulterated food. Oh, by the way, your garden's gone, too. Slaves eat what they are given.) All those chemicals, the irradiation that commercial food is exposed to, I collectively used to call "suicide" because you have a choice whether to eat it.


After any one of these bills is passed, I am afraid we'll have to call them "genocide". If you are a slave, you get disposed of when you are no longer wanted after your worth to your master has been sucked from you.

That's what these farm bills are intended to do: control ALL food production, give you whatever the masters want to give you, while they watch you and your families sicken as slaves and die as slaves.

Do you think Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Simon Bolivar, Che Gurevara, Jomo Kenyatta or whomever your model freedom fighter is (Yes, yes, I know. "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter") would eat the genetically modified, irradiated, chemically laden, bread of slavery?

These bills lay the ground work for food fascism in the US. Who will prevent that from happening? We will. Just as the determination of large numbers of little people around the world has made the difference time after time after time.

Mouse Warriors, HO!

Health Freedom Allies (Alley Cats?) and Copycats…


You, our Natural Solutions Mouse Warrior and supporters, have made HealthFreedomUSA.org the world's leading health freedom web site, with a wonderfully high Internet traffic ranking. For example, our US Alexa ranking currently is in the top 25,000 (and that only counts computers which have Alexa tools on them - get it here:http://www.alexa.com/toolbar/ ).

So you can imagine how pleased we were that one of the true luminaries on the advanced healthcare scene, Joseph Mercola, D.O. of www.mercola.com - with an Alexa ranking of 2,700, recommended that his readers join our Health Freedom Action eAlert efforts to protect food safety from political manipulation.

Here is what his web site says about him: "Dr. Mercola, the New York Times best-selling author, has helped countless people to reach their health and weight loss goals. An osteopathic physician, board certified in family medicine, Dr. Mercola is passionate about empowering people to take control of their health using solely natural means." As a physician who believes strongly in "natural means" I applaud Dr. Mercola's approach to natural wellness. As an advocate for health freedom, I say, "Thank you Dr. Mercola, for putting your great prestige behind natural solutions to the threats to our health freedom!"

And thank you, Leonard Coldwell, ND, for your support as well. Dr. Coldwell, a best selling author and outstanding clinical pioneer in the natural treatment of cancer and a host of other diseases, forwards our emails to his hundreds of thousands of readers. And so do many, many other folks. Thanks to all of you.

Our efforts to put "Health Freedom is Our First Freedom" in the top ten issues on Change.org (and in front of the new President as part of his Briefing Book on Change.gov) are garnering some very significant support, such as that of notable practitioners, researchers and advocates. Thank you! However, such success often breeds copycat sites; that is the nature of success! As they say, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" - if the imitators were actually furthering the goals of Health Freedom, that is! Are they?

Well, there are a growing number of such sites out there which are not affiliated with us and which do not have the level of public support we have from YOU. Some of them try to look like us and use combinations of names which sound like ours; a couple are from "old hands" in the health freedom movement who are finally catching on to the power of the 'net roots' -- the power YOU have created. Others are johnnies-come-lately who appear to want to cash in [SIC!] on growing public awareness of health and freedom issues that YOU have created.

When you receive messages about health freedom issues, please remember to check the source. We always tell you that you are receiving information from Natural Solutions Foundation. If you do not see Gen. Stubblebine, Dr. Laibow, Counsel Fucetola or Kathy Greene's name on the message, it isn't the real thing. If the reply email is not "dr.laibow@gmail.com", it is not the real thing. Insist on the real thing!

Thank you for your continuing support! In the past month you've helped our net roots grow by over twenty thousand people! Please keep up the good work and keep us growing! Nearly a quarter of a million people have opted into the Health Freedom Action eAlert system... let's reach a million this year! One Million Free People for Health Freedom! Thank you for making this 4th year of the International Decade of Nutrition the beginning of powerful push-back against the special interest. Stay with us; keep on opening our eblasts and taking Mouse Warrior actions! TOGETHER we are doing amazing things!

Summary: Highly Disturbing Information - More Data Points Needed



Please help us confirm or deny this information.


Information has been provided to us by a Natural Solutions Foundation supporter who lives in the region in which she has gathered the information that you can read below. It is highly disturbing, not only because of the contents of the information but because, without further data, it is impossible to determine what it means.

Considered in light of the very disturbing incident in January 2009 where annual flu "vaccines" being delivered to 18 countries were "accidentally" contaminated with live, infectious Avian Flu Virus, we are very concerned. See: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=2191

Has a civilian work force of truckers (and others?) been recruited to disperse highly hazardous materials with the intent of destroying social order and creating an intentional bio-false flag event?

Has civilian well-being been endangered through bizarre transportation activities which expose large populations to extreme dangers without following the established channels for moving highly hazardous materials?

If the US Government is involved, are these activities rogue, or authorized activities? If the US Government is not involved, who is responsible for them?


Is this really happening at all?


The person who collected this data believes she may be in danger but has sent this material to hundreds, she says, of media sources. None has, to date, published this material. Without corroboration, or information which falsifies it, no one would know what to do with it. Ignoring it is easy. But what if the few dots in this picture, while not fully filled in, do, in fact, make a portrait of something critically important? Can we ignore it?

So we are asking you, nearly a quarter of a million strong, to be our intelligence system: if you have information which would make or break this story, send it to dr.laibow@gmail.com with "TRUCKERS" as the subject.

We'll treat your information as confidential, and put the pieces together, then share the info without revealing your identities.

To read the information we were provided, please go to:

Doctor Cures More Than 35,000 Cancer Cases Naturally: Media Black Out of "Instinct Based Medicine" Fails

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/193...SIN=193492556X

"Instinct Based Medicine" blows the lid off the coordinated efforts of the US Government, FDA, FTC and Big Pharma to hide, yes, hide!, the documented evidence about natural, drug free and non surgical ways to prevent and cure all diseases.


Instinct Based Medicine exposes the lies of the drug companies and gives specific, natural ways to cure diseases. So it comes as no surprise that Barnes & Nobel, despite the fact that the Instinct Based Medicine was a superstar from day one, ranking in the top 10% of all sales, the book was actively suppressed.

Dr. Coldwell quotes Kevin Trudeau's letter to Barns & Noble in support of his book,


"Barns & Noble made [t]his book disappear. Could it be that they received pressure because this book exposes the pharmaceutical industry? Could there have been political pressure... effectively banning and suppressing his book? Could there have been pressure from the owners of Barnes & Noble and the Board of Directors whose members [Trudeau says] are undoubtedly tied into the pharmaceutical industry and the food industry? More investigation needs to be done. You need to know that the suppression of information is alive and well in the United States. The U.S. government, the FDA, the FTC, the drug companies, the food industry, the national news media on TV, radio, magazines and newspapers all are suppressing and hiding the free flow of information regarding Natural Cures. They are also hiding the truth about the dangers and ineffectiveness of non-prescription and prescription drugs."


The truth of the matter is that they are also suppressing truthful information about the dangers of genetically modified food, food additives, high fructose corn syrup, monosodium glutamate, artificial sweeteners and heavily processed foods.

Health Freedom Radio is honored to have Dr. Coldwell as a special guest. Watch for the next Podcast.

Without your action, ALL natural health options will disappear. That's what happens to slaves, after all: other people make their health choices, based on what's best for the master, not the slave.

How's that for a great WIN-WIN? Thanks!

Don't forget about Nano silver. The FDA and EPA want to take it away from the Health Slaves (that's us) and are working on it vigorously.

Go to www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions to make sure you have enough nano silver for your present and future needs. That's what I've done.

Have you made your recurring donation pledge yet? Big Pharma does not have to ask for donations. We do. We understand the economic times we are in (thanks to the banksters who are making money hand over fist while the rest of us suffer and they do their best to turn the US into a banana republic to ease in a New World Currency and a New World Order.)

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189


But the battles go on and we need to fight them. We are not asking anyone to shoulder more of a burden than they can. We know it's tough out there for us little people. If you realize that as little as $1 per month from each of our supporters would allow us to do everything we need to win this war, it gets easier to see why you might consider, even if times are tough, making that pledge right now.

What would your chances of maintaining your health freedom be like without the Natural Solutions Foundation? Not good. On a radio show (which we'll be mounting as a Podcast) that I did yesterday, the host asked me "Who else is doing what the Natural Solutions Foundation is doing, Dr. Rima?" I thought a minute and honestly had to answer, "No one, Dave, no one at all." And that is why we need your continued support. Thanks if you have donated recently. And thanks if you will donate now.


Oh, by the way, donations are 100% tax deductible.

Yours in health and freedom,

Yet more yammering from Dick Morris?

This is what they WANT you to believe, that one man can systematically destroy a country.

They're obviously quick to forget the last 8 years under Shrub, not to mention the Clinton/Bush Sr year.
