    http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o...ction_KEY=5421

    Join our second annual war council this Sunday; hear from some leading voices advocating for health and food freedom; review the triumphs and tragedies of the past year; consider where we go from here: de-funding the new food control law; petitioning the government to demand redress for the deadly swine flu (and new seasonal flu) vaccine, among other issues. Listen live, and chat, at this special web site: www.HealthFreedomPortal.org -- the meeting will be co-chaired by Maj Gen Bert Stubblebine (US Army ret) the President of Natural Solutions Foundation and Dr. Rima E. Laibow, MD, its Medical Director. Time: Sunday, January 2, 2011 from 9 to noon Central time. Webinar link will be available at the Health Freedom Portal. More info: www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=7925.

    Everyone who worked so hard to hold off the massive increase in Federal food control represented by the fake “food safety” bill passed by the House [4:50 PM 12.21.10] deserves our sincerest thanks.

    Action Item to the White House: “Michelle, Please Intervene…”
    http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o...ction_KEY=5421

    What we gained although we lost…

    While we ultimately may not have stopped this in the Congress, the law that was adopted is a different creature than we would have faced had we not opposed it every step of the way. Recall, the first version of the bill that passed the House in July ‘09 had severe penalties and no significant exemption for local production and distribution. The version that passed the Senate at the end of November 2010 not only had no such severe penalties, but did have a rather weak exemption for some local production and distribution.

    It also did not have, as it might have, without our Push Back, two draconian bills that had been introduced in the Senate to prepare the way to add their terms to the final “food safety” bill; these were Sen. McCain’s discredited S.3002 which would have brought Dietary Supplements under even greater Federal control and the “criminalization of speech about food claims” bill, S.3767, introduced by the majority party “leadership” late in the session. The criminal penalty bill, while remaining a future risk, went nowhere, after over a hundred thousand messages of opposition. Opposition to McCain’s attempt to legislate Codex compliance was so great that he withdrew his own support from his own bill a month and a day after introducing it in February 2010. And the final bill adopted today has a stronger local food exemption, with an inflation escalation clause, so the exemption may become meaningful, depending on how the final regulations are written.

    lamest of Lame-ducks feathering their nests…

    This is what happened, after the GOP Senators turned their back on us (see: http://timyurl.com/GOPbetrayal) letting the majority party have its way late Sunday night: the House gave cursory consideration to the matter and our representatives were given a few minutes to cast their votes, today, Tuesday. The vote was 216 to 144 with many Republicans failing to even vote “No!” to show their support for Food Freedom. A few brave Democrats also stood with the voters in voting against 4,000 new FDA inspectors; secret regulations; effective Federal take-over of State food inspection agencies; HARMonization with Codex Alimentarius’ restrictions one step closer…

    Of course, we cannot allow this to stand. What are our next steps? What is the Plan?

    1. We are starting a campaign asking First Lady, wife of POTUS, mother, organic gardner and childhood obesity activist Michelle Obama, to help veto the bill and for the White House to intervene in the FDA regulation-making process to make sure that our very serious concerns get addressed:

    a. Implementing the exemption for local production and distribution in the least burdensome way,
    b. Assuring that Section 104’s “in the interest of national security” clause is not used to create secret regulations favoring Big AgBiz &
    c. No “back-door” HARMonization of our food freedoms with international Codex Alimentarius restrictions.

    2. We will seek to prevent any funding for this increase in Federal power in the new Congress.

    3. We continue to urge families to develop their own square foot gardens and become as independent as possible from the attempt to control our food to restrict our freedoms. See: www.FoodFreedomeJournal.org.

    We are deeply grateful for the support that the Health and Food Freedom Movement received from so many individuals and organizations across the educational/political/civic spectrum. Groups as diverse as Organic Consumers, Farmers and Gardeners; family ranch, dairy and farm groups; major Tea Party alliances, including Tea Party Patriots; Freedom Advocates (like Campaign for Liberty, Downsize DC) joined with health freedom groups such as Health Freedom USA, Natural News and Citizens for Health followed our lead and fought with vigor and dedication against food fascim in this bill. There are other significant issues about which members of this transpartisan coalition will no doubt work together over the next months and years. This is an inestimable benefit in the long struggle for Liberty…

    The struggle for Health and Food Freedom is far from over!

    Quote If you can buy it at a clean, well-lighted store, if it's "all natural," it's not going to do you serious harm, right? That's what many Americans assume about dietary supplements. But while most supplements are probably fairly benign, CONSUMER REPORTS has identified a dozen that according to government warnings, adverse-event reports, and top experts are too dangerous to be on the market. Yet they are. We easily purchased all 12 in Feburary in a few days of shopping online and in retail stores.

    These unsafe supplements include Aristolochia, an herb conclusively linked to kidney failure and cancer in China, Europe, Japan, and the U.S.: yohimbe, a sexual stimulant linked to heart and respiratory problems; bitter orange, whose ingredients have effects similar to those of the banned weight-loss stimulant ephedra; and chaparral, comfrey, germander, and kava, all known or likely causes of liver failure. (For a complete list of the "dirty dozen," see the table on page 15.)

    U.S. consumers shelled out some $76 million in 2002 for just three of these supplements: androstenedione, kava, and yohimbe, the only ones for which sales figures were available, according to the Nutrition Business Journal, which tracks the supplement industry.

    The potentially dangerous effects of most of these products have been known for more than a decade, and at least five of them are banned in Asia, Europe, or Canada. Yet until very recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had not managed to remove a single dietary supplement from the market for safety reasons.

    After seven years of trying, the agency announced a ban on the weight-loss aid ephedra in December 2003. And in March 2004 it warned 23 companies to stop marketing the body-building supplement androstenedione (andro).

    Despite these actions against high prone supplements, whose dangers were so well known that even industry trade groups had stopped defending them, the agency continues to be hamstrung by the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA, pronounced de-shay). While drug manufacturers are required to prove that their products are safe before being marketed. DSHEA makes the FDA prove that supplements on the market are unsafe and denies the agency all but the sketchiest information about the safety record of most of them.

    "The standards for demonstrating a supplement is hazardous are so high that it can take the FDA years to build a case," said Bruce Silverglade, legal director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington, D.C., consumer-advocacy group...

    After re-reading through this thread, It appears to as though some of those commenting just don't really 'get' the implications of what is actually going-on with this legislation.

    Here's a 40 minute video that should be watched by anyone wanting to make a comment on this issue. Pay particular attention to the history of Codex as Dr. Laibow lays-out the foundational information in the beginning of the clip - the history is relevant to the future:

    Laibow, Dr. Rima E. - Nutricide, Criminalizing Natural Health -



    Note: Dr Laibow mentions some dates that have already passed-by in the segment. The effects of this World Trade Organization Treaty are global in impact. Codex is already fully implemented in the European Union.

    Signed by Obama. Too late. God only knows what all is in that bill. We'll see in the coming years as the real intent unfolds. I can be pretty certain that it will not be good for most of us.

    The “Food Safety” Saga: Our Job Is Just Beginning
    January 4, 2011
    Print This Post Print This Post

    maze

    The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act had more twists and turns than a big-city sewer system. Unexpected passage of the legislation at the very end of the lame duck Congress does not bring the story to a close. The fight goes on.

    Regulations will need to be developed, which the FDA will try to do out of sight, but which we will monitor closely. The FDA will need funding to do the work, which means more legislation. And there may be other legislative opportunities to help pull back this seeming victory for agribusiness, factory faming, and its allies in Washington.

    We have to keep educating Capitol Hill about the dangers of CAFOs, the main source of food contamination, and about the benefits—both to our health and our economy—of small farmers and especially local organic farmers. We need, in short, to keep the government from destroying what’s best about agriculture in this country. Big Food may have won this round, but they have most certainly not won the war.

    Before we turn to the future, it’s also worth reviewing the story of what actually happened with this legislation. There has been a great deal of confusion about what took place, and it’s important to set the record straight. We also need to remember that natural health and family farming won some concessions along the way, concessions that kept this legislation from being far, far worse than it is. All of these concessions were won by a broad coalition of tireless health freedom advocates, while some of them-especially in the areas of potential CODEX regulation and supplements-were won specifically by ANH-USA, and we’re proud of those accomplishments. This is more proof that when we all work together, we can move mountains.

    Here’s the full timeline:

    March 2009: Senate introduces FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (S. 510). The bill languishes in committee for nine months, then is placed on the Senate’s legislative calendar.

    June 2009: House introduces Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009, or FSEA (H.R. 2749). Bill was designed to completely revamp the FDA and grant expansive authority with no oversight and contained provisions of significant concern to small farms (especially organic farms), small food producers, and supplement makers, including sharply increased criminal and civil penalties for violations of FDA regulations—up to ten years in jail and fines of up to $100,000 for individuals and $7.5 million for corporations, regardless of their size—just for making completely true statements about a food or supplement or referring to peer-reviewed science without prior FDA permission.

    The bill was put on a fast track, and ANH-USA sprang into action. We placed a full-page ad in Roll Call, the Capitol Hill newspaper, calling on Congress to amend the bill. We also printed up copies of the ad, and had them hand-delivered to each congressional office. Our members deluged Congress with messages and phone calls. Unfortunately, the House passed the bill by a vote of 283 to 142.

    November 2009: The original language of the Senate bill appeared to commit the US to the concept of harmonization of our food and supplement safety laws with a global standard, the Codex Alimentarius. The global standard is very likely to reflect European standards, which are extremely hostile to dietary supplements. ANH-USA was able to get the bill amended so that it no longer requires the development of a plan to harmonize with Codex; now the bill calls for a plan “on whether and how” to harmonize.

    April 2010: Still concerned that the inclusion of Codex language in the bill could be used to support future US harmonization with Codex standards on dietary supplements, ANH-USA succeeds in getting new language that specifically exempted dietary supplements from US harmonization with Codex. In addition, while we did not work on this aspect of the issue ourselves, we were very pleased to see that supplements were also exempted from the “hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls” section of the bill.

    September 2010: Noting that the Senate’s version of the bill didn’t have the extra-harsh penalties of the House bill, Sen. Leahy introduced a new bill, the Food Safety Accountability Act, or FSEA (S. 3767), which used language similar to that found in the House bill. Even worse, the bill would not necessarily hold accountable a company that tainted a product, even on purpose, if this type of adulteration occurred before the product was sold by a distributor. So much for “accountability.”

    Once again, ANH-USA and its allies acted quickly and mounted a protest, and succeeded in getting the Leahy bill amended so that it would no longer be possible to use the bill’s language to send a supplement producer to jail for ten years just for citing legitimate science.

    November 2010: One of the Senate bill’s big sticking points was how it would affect small farmers and food producers. Some small-farm and organic food advocates warned that the legislation would destroy their industry under a mountain of paperwork. Working with the natural health community, ANH-USA succeeded in winning inclusion of an amendment from Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), which exempts from some of the bill’s provisions any producers with less than $500,000 a year in sales who sell most of their food locally.

    Still concerned about the language in the Leahy bill, we kept up the pressure, and thanks to all the phone calls, letters, and email messages that you sent to your senators, we were told that the FSEA language would be kept out of S. 510 entirely.

    In addition, the House agreed that if the Senate’s bill passed, the House would accept the Senate’s version in place of its own. The House bill was far, far worse, and contained the ten-year jail terms—so this meant that ten-year jail terms should not be in a final Food Safety bill.

    On November 30, the Senate bill passed 73 to 25, and sent it on to the House for approval.

    December 1: The House rejects the Senate bill because it contains a revenue-raising (i.e., taxing) provision. The Constitution requires all revenue-raising provisions to arise from the House.

    December 10: House passes a Continuing Resolution, which is supposed to provide temporary, stopgap funding for the government while budget bills are worked out. But this CR included the language of the Senate food safety bill. The CR is sent to the Senate for approval.

    December 14: Sen. Inouye attempts to get an omnibus spending bill substituted for the CR. While we were told originally that the food safety language would not be part of the omnibus bill, it appeared that a deal was struck to include food safety.

    December 17: A number of senators, mainly Republicans, decide to support neither the omnibus bill, which contained a lot of “pork” (funding for local projects with little or no national significance) nor the CR from the House, but instead wanted a one-page CR that would keep the government open for the next two months. This left the food safety bill once again out in the cold.

    December 19: At 10 p.m. on a Sunday night, in one of the most underhanded legislative maneuvers we’ve ever seen, senators took an old House bill that had been languishing on the legislative calendar for a year and a half, removed all of its text and completely substituted the text of S. 510, then changed the title. What had been the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act was now the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act with a new number, H.R. 2751. It was identical in every way to the old S. 510, except that this was now technically a House bill, which got over the earlier constitutionality issue. This was agreed to in the Senate by unanimous consent, and the bill was sent back to the House.

    Note that twenty-five senators who had previously voted against the bill were part of the unanimous consent agreement. Even one of them could have denied unanimous consent, in which case the bill would most likely have died. These senators were also participating in a legislative trick that made a mockery of the Constitution.

    December 21: After less than an hour of debate, the bill passed in the House, 215 to 144. This included Yes votes from legislators who had been voted out of office in November, but who were making one last use of the “lame duck” session—something the 20th Amendment to the Constitution was trying to prevent when it was originally enacted. Seventy-four members of the House had already left for the winter break and did not vote.

    Henry Waxman, still chair of Commerce Committee during the lame duck session of Congress and an arch foe of natural health and health freedom, famously said that nothing is ever settled for good in Washington. We can’t help but agree with him when it comes to the botched Food Safety Act.

    Go to this link to read more and take action:
    http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o...ction_KEY=5421

    01.16.11 Update:
    FDA Subcommittee Chair -
    When asked if his party intended to withhold funding for implementation he said: "I think we will. We have a lot of concerns about the necessity of putting 18,000 food police on the streets and the kitchens of America. The trend in food safety has been very, very favorable.
    I'm not sure that this kind of investment is going to give any returns that justify it."
    Rep. Jack Kingston, Georgia

    KEEP THE PRESSURE UP! USE THIS ACTION ITEM DAILY
    UNTIL THE LAW IS UNFUNDED!

    Natural Solutions Foundation is an international NGO (nongovernmental organization) that seeks to educate decision makers about the benefits of natural solutions to many societal issues. Wtih the help of YOU, our "Mouse Warriors" we express our views to those decision makers. Together, we sent over six million emails to them regarding the fake "food safety" (really "food control") bill S.510/HR.2751 which passed the Lame Duck Congress on December 21, 2010.

    Dr. Rima to Michelle Obama:
    Barack Should Have Vetoed the Food Control Bill
    The current White House occupant signed the bill into law 01.04.11.

    While we ultimately may not have stopped this new law in the lame-duck Congress of 2010, the law that was adopted is a different creature than we would have faced had we not opposed it every step of the way. Recall, the first version of the bill that passed the House in July ‘09 had severe penalties and no significant exemption for local production and distribution. The version that passed the Senate at the end of November 2010 not only had no such severe penalties, but did have a rather weak exemption for some local production and distribution.

    It also did not have, as it might have, without our Push Back, two draconian bills that had been introduced in the Senate to prepare the way to add their terms to the final “food safety” bill; these were Sen. McCain’s discredited S.3002 which would have brought Dietary Supplements under even greater Federal control and the “criminalization of speech about food claims” bill, S.3767, introduced by the majority party “leadership” late in the session. The criminal penalty bill, while remaining a future risk, went nowhere, after over a hundred thousand messages of opposition. Opposition to McCain’s attempt to legislate Codex compliance was so great that he withdrew his own support from his own bill a month and a day after introducing it in February 2010. And the final "FDA Food Safety Modernization Act" as adopted has a somewhat stronger local food exemption, with a limited inflation escalation clause, so the exemption may become somewhat meaningful, depending on how the final regulations are written.

    This Action Item is to the White House & new Speaker of the House, the FDA oversight subcommittee Chairman, and your Member of Congress. It is the first step in educating decision makers regarding the new law and any regulations issued under it.

    1. We want the White House to intervene in the FDA regulation-making process to make sure that certain concerns get addressed:

    a. Implementing the exemption for local production and distribution in the least burdensome way.

    b. Assuring that Section 104’s “in the interest of national security” clause is not used to create secret regulations favoring Big AgBiz, violating the promises of "transparency" and,

    c. No “back-door” HARMonization of our food freedoms with international Codex Alimentarius restrictions!

    2. We seek to prevent any funding for this increase in Federal power in the new Congress; this includes especially the budget-busting 4,000 new FDA food control inspectors: Speaker Boehner, Chairman Kingston, just say "NO!".

    There is much to be concerned about in the bill as adopted by the Congress, including the potential for secret regulations in violation of due process that section 104 seems to allow, the convoluted procedure for local food production exemptions, and the "road map" the new law provides for rapid "HARMonization" of our food freedoms with international Codex restrictions...

    The struggle continues!

    You forget the greedy corporate Monsanto Monopoly politicians with their hands in all the stocks of NEEDS and kitchen tables across America.

    Doesn't Batcrap Bachmann own some of the corporate farms as well as a few Republicans moving to Iowa to take over the farmland their and gift it to the agribusiness monopoly Monsanto.

    For real for real, this is an insult to intelligience of average humans who luck up on a seed to grow and save on their budgets, or share with the family next door who's breadwinner has lost their job. It would be a lot more people on public assistance, if granny didn't have a garden or Mrs Smith or Jones growing tomatoes.

    Speaking of Monsanto, this is from a while ago, but still something to consider...

    Time to bump up this thread again!
    PUSH BACK FOR HEALTH FREEDOM


    https://youtube.com/watch?v=_HyME...layer_embedded

    There is a request for funding, but the information given as well is worth waiting that out.

    Natural Solutions is doing a great job helping us to fight for our health freedoms. There are actions that can be taken daily to flood Congress with emails over a period of weeks and months, and it seems to have an effect.

    Here is their latest article with links:

    FDA & White House Attacks
    Threaten Access to Nutrients

    During 2007 the Natural Solutions Foundation warned the American public that Ted Kennedy’s last gift of power to the Federal bureaucracy, the so-called FDA Modernization Act of 2007 (what we call the FDA Enabling Act) would seriously threaten our Health and Food Freedom.

    Although we fought hard to make sure language was kept in that bill “exempting” dietary supplements, the DSHEA Exemption (and you sent over 150,000 emails over one weekend!) we were not holding out much hope that this massive increase in FDA power would not be used against our freedom of choice… despite the fact the the law is clear and the statute had specific exemption language.

    We were specially worried about language in the Act that would let FDA ban interstate commerce in any FOOD that had ever been studied for medical use.

    That’s right, Congress gave FDA authority to ban any food… why? Indeed, why would Congress believe it had power under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution to control what food free Americans grow and use?

    We leave the answer to such questions to the philosophers and psychiatrists…

    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....

    Here's an example of what's happening in the US now:
    Dear NaturalNews readers,

    The government is at it again, conducting a triple armed raid yesterday on raw foods advocates in California. All in one morning, state and federal authorities raided a raw foods buying club, a raw milk farm, and a private home, resulting in the arrest of three people who are now all being charged with conspiracy. (One of them is also being slapped with the additional crime of "falsely labeling cheese," if you can believe that...)

    Welcome to the new food slavery police state, my friends... USA style. NaturalNews broke this story today, and it was picked up by InfoWars.com, DrudgeReport.com and countless other blogs and news websites (thank you all for posting our news and spreading the word).

    Here's the scoop: Read this story first about the raid itself:
    http://www.naturalnews.com/033220_Ra...med_raids.html

    From there, we posted the on-scene raw video footage showing state and federal agents stealing the entire product inventory from Rawesome Foods:
    http://www.naturalnews.com/033221_Ra..._raw_milk.html

    We then published details on the conspiracy charges being leveled against all three people:
    http://www.naturalnews.com/033222_ra...onspiracy.html

    That was followed by the announcement of a massive public protest to be held this morning (Thursday, Aug. 4th) at 7:45 am at the LA County Courthouse:
    http://www.naturalnews.com/033223_Ra...c_protest.html


    From there, we published the Rawesome Foods raid search warrant and showed that the law enforcement thugs who conducted the raid grossly violated the warrant:
    http://www.naturalnews.com/033224_Ra...h_warrant.html

    And then we put out some photos from the raid, showing how the government stripped the shelves bare at Rawesome Foods and engaged in the total destruction of the entire inventory, including pouring raw milk down the drain to make sure that nobody could drink it! (It's like an Orwellian book burning!)
    http://www.naturalnews.com/033225_Ra...ds_photos.html


    We've begun collecting donations for the Rawesome Foods legal defense fund at www.ConsumerWellness.org and I'm also appearing on the Robert Scott Bell Show today to discuss this issue: www.NaturalNewsRadio.com (starts at 11am central time).

    Coverage also continues on InfoWars.com and PrisonPlanet.com where I was a guest yesterday on the Alex Jones Show, which has covered all the top food freedom issues including the persecution of Julie Bass (the home gardener) in Oak Park, Michigan.

    This story is all breaking fast, and we expect to have more on-scene videos from LA County, perhaps by the time you read this. Watch NaturalNews.com for announcements and additional photos, videos or documents related to this case.

    We did not publish any other stories today, as we were totally focused on the armed raids against Rawesome Foods. (I'm exhausted... been covering this personally for 13 hours straight..."
    **************************************************************************************************** *************************************"Photos from Rawesome Foods raid prove government agents illegally stole entire inventory of buyer's club

    Thursday, August 04, 2011

    Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/033225_Ra...#ixzz1U5FEAA5r
    (NaturalNews) NaturalNews is now publishing some of the very first photos taken in the aftermath of the Rawesome Food raids, which involved a multi-agency raid against Rawesome Foods for selling unpasteurized milk and raw cheese (http://www.naturalnews.com/033220_R...). These photos show how Rawesome Foods has been stripped bare by state and federal agents who engaged in what can only be called an act of government-sponsored terrorism against innocent small business owners.

    As NaturalNews reported earlier, the warrant that was issued to authorize the Rawesome Foods raid specifically stated that "various samples of any food products present may be taken for laboratory analysis." (http://www.naturalnews.com/033224_R...) But instead of taking only "various samples," the LA County Dept. of Agriculture authorities engaged in the wholesale theft of the entirety of Rawesome Foods' inventory. (See photos below.)

    This, of course, has the effect of instantly putting Rawesome Foods out of business through the government-achieved destruction of their entire inventory. The scene at Rawesome Foods earlier today, in fact, saw California state agents pouring raw milk down the drain and gathering up the rest of the products to be hauled off to be destroyed.

    This is not a lawful search of a facility for the purpose of protecting public health; it's a mob style government-engineered economic hit on a small business that provides a valuable service to society.

    The pictures reveal the truth
    (Note from OP: I don't know how to copy the photos here, but to see them, you can go to the article at:
    http://www.naturalnews.com/033225_Ra...ds_photos.html )

    NaturalNews publishes Rawesome Foods raid search warrant; reveals government agents violated search guidelines


    Wednesday, August 03, 2011
    (NaturalNews) The recent act of government-sponsored terrorism against Rawesome Foods in Venice, California was authorized by a woman named Michelle LeCavalier. She signed the warrant which stated that she believed there was property at Rawesome Foods that was "used as the means of committing a felony." (What, the raw cheese? Did someone cut the cheese and cause a silent-but-deadly felony nuisance?)

    The warrant goes on to state that the law enforcement agents should search "all rooms, attics, refrigerators, freezers... purses, wallets, briefcases and vehicles of both James Stewart (Rawesome Foods) and Sharon Palmer (Healthy Family Farms)."

    The warrant also grants them the permission to inspect, copy and even seize all computer files, video camera files, audio recording files and all the data of all computers.

    Additional items to be seized, as described in the warrant, include:

    • Any evidence of "interstate transportation" (so they can charge these people with felony FEDERAL crimes).

    • All membership agreements of their current members (customers); this way they can intimidate customers, too.

    • Documents concerning the Right To Choose Healthy Foods (RTCHF) organization, which fights for food freedom at www.RawMilk.org (the government is going after these advocacy groups, too, with their terrorist tactics).

    • All tax records (so they can try to find some tax error and then charge them with federal tax fraud).

    • All real estate transactions, billing records, purchasing records and club records.

    • All emails, receipts, cash register data, credit cards receipts, inventory records and so on.

    • All computers and electronic devices. The warrant shows that government terrorists stole both Dell and Apple computers from Rawesome.

    • All address books, telephone numbers, contacts, client lists, business cards, etc. This is so the government terrorists can contact Rawesome Foods customers and then conduct illegal raids on their homes for buying "contraband" raw milk.

    ... and a lot more, including prescription medication bottles, employment records, keys and much more. Read the warrant yourself at:
    http://www.naturalnews.com/files/Ra...

    Government terrorists destroy entire Rawesome Foods inventory
    The warrant also states that "various samples of any food products present may be taken for laboratory analysis." But this, of course, is not what happened at all. Instead of taking a few samples, the government terrorists from the LA County Dept. of Agriculture poured all the milk down the drain, then stole all the vegetables, fruits, cheese and eggs and loaded them up into a truck and drove away, leaving Rawesome Foods completely empty.

    In other words, they stole or destroyed the ENTIRE INVENTORY of Rawesome Foods! (We have photos to prove this and will be posted them soon...)

    They also made off with over $4,500 in cash belonging to the owner James Stewart.

    This destruction, of course, was an act of terrorism, not the carrying out of a search warrant. This is why I am accurately referring to these people as government-sponsored terrorists.

    The signatures of the Property Clerk, Agent and Supervisor on the warrant are all completely illegible, obscuring their names (government terrorists don't want to be identified by name, so they make sure their names are unreadable).

    The only name legible on the warrant is Michelle LeCavalier, whose office failed to return our repeated phone calls. (We spoke with the public affairs department and asked for a return call to get a statement. No return call has yet been received.)

    Who is Michelle LeCavalier?
    I want to know who this state employee is and why she is engaged in authorizing acts of terrorism against innocent citizens of California. Attempts to find out more about LeCavalier have so far failed, although NaturalNews has confirmed that she is a California state employee who worked under the Dept. of Health at one point.

    If you have any information about Michelle LeCavalier, or a link to an online photo of her, please let us know. This woman needs to be held accountable for her role in authorizing acts of government terrorism against the People.

    A government out of control
    What this Rawesome Foods raid demonstrates is the depths of the evil of Big Government and its incessant desire to enslave the people by denying them their natural born rights. We are watching a criminal, terrorist government engage in acts of war against innocent small business owners who are serving an important public interest by providing health-enhancing, wholesome and non-processed foods to members of the public. This is a service that should be lauded, not targeted for termination.

    This combination of government thugs from both California and the federal government have maliciously carried out the following crimes:

    • The KIDNAPPING of James Stewart and Sharon Palmer.

    • The THEFT of cash from Rawesome Foods.

    • The DESTRUCTION of private property by destroying all the raw food products at Rawesome Foods.

    • The HACKING of computers and electronic devices found at Rawesome Foods.

    • The CONSPIRACY to commit the above acts, of which Michelle LaCavalier is perhaps the most guilty.

    And why did the government commit these heinous crimes against innocent people? Did Rawesome Foods harm anyone? Nope.

    Did any customers complain about Rawesome Foods? Not at all. Customers LOVE the place!

    Did Rawesome Foods place public health at risk in any way? Certainly not. Raw milk is healthier than dead, processed, pasteurized milk.

    So WHY did the government decide to target this business for its planned acts of terrorism designed to destroy its business operations and imprison its owners? Because the government wants to take away your access to real food!

    Just as the FDA is now trying to take away your access to nutritional supplements through its new NDI regulations (http://naturalnews.com/032912_FDA_d...).

    Big Government actively seeks to destroy health and freedom
    Under the leadership of President Obama, you see, the U.S. government is now in the business of destroying public health, unleashing genetically modified organisms across the country (http://www.naturalnews.com/033022_S...) and denying your right to choose your own food or medicine!

    Julie Bass, the Michigan gardener, was recently threatened with 93 days of jail for growing tomatoes in her own front yard (http://www.naturalnews.com/032960_J...).

    A farmer in Missouri, Armand Bechard, has been threatened by authorities there for selling raw milk (http://www.naturalnews.com/030974_r...).

    Amish farmers have been threatened multiple times for producing raw milk on their own family farms (http://www.naturalnews.com/030974_r...).

    What's clear from this pattern is that our government is out of control and a serious threat to food freedom in America. If we don't reign in this runaway rogue government, we are all going to end up as junk food mind slaves with no freedoms at all (and no health, either).

    I'm surprised these goons in California even bothered with a warrant. Why not just throw the Fourth Amendment out the window and raid the store without a warrant? It's all lawless and criminal anyway. The fabricated warrant only serves to slap the illusion of "right" on a document that's being used by a criminal government to terrorize small business owners and drive honest folks out of business.

    Please donate to the Rawesome Foods legal defense fund. We are collecting donations right now through www.ConsumerWellness.org and sending 100% of all donations straight to Rawesome. James Stewart is right now facing $123,000 in bail, which is over 300% larger than the bail typically set for murderers!

    Massive public protest announced against government-sponsored terrorism of Rawesome Foods in California
    http://www.naturalnews.com/033223_Ra...c_protest.html
    NaturalNews) As promised, a massive public protest is now being announced to give the members of the public an opportunity to voice their outrage against today's arrest of three raw foods advocates who are all being charged with conspiracy.


    Rawesome Food raid videos begin to emerge from the scene where federal terrorists vandalized raw milk business


    Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/033221_Ra...#ixzz1U5IVBsCf
    (NaturalNews) From the SWAT-style armed raid on the raw milk buying club known as Rawesome Foods, clandestine video footage is starting to emerge. Although the footage is shaky and low quality (from a cell phone), it shows law enforcement thugs stealing raw milk, cheese, vegetables and even mangos from the Rawesome Foods store and loading them up into a large truck.

    NaturalNews was sent these videos by people on the scene. Watch them at: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=A...

    The same people from the raid also told us that they witnessed law enforcement pouring all their raw milk down the drain. Essentially, the cops, FDA and CDC were engaged in VANDALISM against a health food business.

    Make no mistake: This is law enforcement engaged in acts of terrorism against small farmers and honest raw foods retailers. These are mob-style tactics of intimidation, business disruption, cash confiscation and inventory destruction. Chicago gangster mobs couldn't have done a better job!

    Watch these videos yourself and you'll see some of what happened on the scene. More videos and photos are being sent to NaturalNews, and we will keep you posted on this story.

    Again, the short video of raw footage is available at:
    http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=A...

    Keep following NaturalNews for more breaking news on this story. We will also announce an upcoming protest planned in L.A.

    The protest will be held at the LA County Courthouse located at:
    210 West Temple, Division 30
    Los Angeles

    Arrive there at 7:45 am to join the protest, which needs to be in full swing early, because the court hearing for James is scheduled at 8:30.

    Please keep your protests non-violent in nature and bring your signs, shirts and more. LA newspapers and media have already indicated they will be on scene. NaturalNews video journalists will also be on the scene filming whatever goes down. Videos will be posted on www.NaturalNews.TV

    Bring your own cameras, too, and record your own photos and videos. Please post on NaturalNews.TV and we will likely link to your video in upcoming coverage of this event.

    We apologize for the very short notice of this public protest, but we are publishing details about this story as quickly as we can. The story is breaking big and has already reached millions of listeners on the Alex Jones Show (www.InfoWars.com) and millions of readers through the Drudge Report (www.DrudgeReport.com), which has linked to NaturalNews as the breaking news source for this story.

    Once the mainstream media starts covering this story, they will twist it around and LIE about it as they always do. NPR already did a hatchet job on this group following a previous raid. Only independent media (like NaturalNews) can be trusted to bring you the honest story on this without some corporate or government agenda.

    There are already misinformed accusations that Rawesome Foods was not licensed as a retail business. But that's incorrect information: Rawesome Foods is a private buying club and not a retail business that's open to the general public. People can't just walk in off the street and shop there like a regular grocery store. Thus, Rawesome does not have to be licensed like a regular grocery store. They are a private buyer's club.

    What went down in Venice, California today was clearly an act of government-sponsored terrorism against innocent citizens who are only "guilty" of selling healthful foods that are in huge demand by happy, healthy members (customers). That the selling of healthful raw milk cannot even be tolerated by the thuggish, corrupt government criminals who run the state of California (and the federal government) today is a powerful statement of just how much freedom we've already lost... and how hard we're all going to have to fight back against tyranny to restore our basic food freedoms.

    Breaking news: Multi-agency armed raid hits Rawesome Foods, Healthy Family Farms for selling raw milk and cheese

    Wednesday, August 03, 2011

    Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/033220_Ra...#ixzz1U5Jcts4V

    (NaturalNews) This is a NaturalNews exclusive breaking new report. Please credit NaturalNews.com. A multi-agency SWAT-style armed raid was conducted this morning by helmet-wearing, gun-carrying enforcement agents from the LA County Sheriff's Office, the FDA, the Dept. of Agriculture and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control).

    This story is now being followed and widely reported on InfoWars (www.InfoWars.com) and the Drudge Report (www.DrudgeReport.com). See updates below...

    Rawesome Foods, a private buying club offering wholesome, natural raw milk and raw cheese products (among other wholesome foods) is founded by James Stewart, a pioneer in bringing wholesome raw foods directly to consumers through a buying club. James was followed from his private residence by law enforcement, and when he entered his store, the raid was launched.

    Law enforcement demanded that all customers (members) of the store vacate the premises, then they demanded to know how much cash James had at the store. When James explained the amount of cash he had at the store -- which is used to purchase product for selling there -- agents demanded to know why he had such an amount of cash and where it came from.

    James was handcuffed, was never read his rights and was stuffed into an unmarked car. While agents said they would leave behind a warrant, no one has yet had any opportunity to even see if such a warrant exists or if it is a complete warrant.

    Law enforcement then proceeded to destroy the inventory of the story by pouring the milk down the drain and / or confiscating raw cheese and fresh produce for destruction. Video now posted at NaturalNews.TV: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=A...

    Note to NaturalNews readers: We believe this was an ILLEGAL raid being conducted mob-style by government thugs who respect no law and no rights. This is an all-out war by the government against people who try to promote healthy raw and living foods.

    James is now being held at the Pacific division police department at Centinela and Culver in Los Angeles. He is being held at $123,000 bail with no possibility of using bail bonds. Law enforcement has demanded that if he comes up with the money to cover bail, he must disclose to them all the sources of that money. (This is an illegal demand!)

    Massive public protests are needed to teach these criminal law enforcement agencies that they cannot illegally arrest and persecute individuals merely for buying and selling raw milk and cheese. We are organizing a public protest day in cooperation with James. Please watch NaturalNews for an announcement of that. Story is developing...

    Right now, James needs help raising money with his legal defense needs. Our non-profit Consumer Wellness Center is currently serving as the collection point for donations. You may donate right now at www.ConsumerWellness.org (100% of the donations go directly to James' legal defense needs, the Consumer Wellness Center keeps nothing).

    See this video of James Stewart talking about his farm:
    https://youtube.com/watch?v=foKg...

    Story on InfoWars.com:
    http://www.infowars.com/raw-food-ra...

    Here's background on Healthy Family Farms which was also targeted in the raid:

    Healthy Family Farms in Santa Paula, California:

    "Healthy Family Farms is a sustainable, pasture-based farming operation. We raise all our livestock on pasture. We raise all of our animals from birth. We do not feed any of our animals soy, choosing instead to feed animals as they are designed to be fed. This results in healthy, sturdy animals needing no hormones, antibiotics, or other artificial "enhancements." We harvest our animals humanely by hand before they are delivered to the farmers markets. We never freeze our products. In addition to farmer's markets sales, we have an active CSA, which offers discounts to our valued members."

    Watch NaturalNews.com for more breaking news on this story. We are fed up with these illegal mob-style raids against the raw foods community! It is time to protest and fight back against tyranny!

    gotta get these 'ideas' off your back
    because they prevent you from doing it
    but when everyone is either farming or in jail,
    we will end up farming in jail and they can rot in their own violence and saccharine food supply
    This post will, at once, serve to both mystify and demystify MY condition, depending on the observer!

    For the latest on the Rawsome Foods raid, from today's Natural News newsletter:
    "Dear NaturalNews readers,

    I've spent the entire weekend engaged in investigative journalism on the Rawesome Foods raid, and we've turned up some hard-hitting breaking news on the case:

    First, we have the breaking news story on the eyewitness account of government agents stealing $9,000 in cash from James Stewart after they put him in handcuffs:

    Next, I published a very important piece about civil rights and why Rawesome Foods is a private buyer's club that does not need a government license to distribute food to its members:
    http://www.naturalnews.com/033255_Ra...s_license.html


    I interviewed Gary Cox, an attorney at the Farm-To-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, who explains the laws and the fundamental legal rights of individuals to enter into cow share, goat share or "farm share" contracts:

    I also interviewed Lela Buttery from the front lines of the Rawesome Foods raid, and she gives a detailed account of what really happened:

    If you're playing catch up on this issue, here's an overview of the top videos to watch, which will show you what's going on (see the protests yourself):

    You can also hear several of my audio interviews on this topic at:

    By the way, we have more breaking news coming out on this case, including a story about the old media blackout on this story, and we also plan to publish the names of the government tyrants who masterminded this entire operation!

    Watch for those stories this week at NaturalNews.com, where we are the #1 source breaking this story across the globe. Nobody has provided coverage of this issue that comes even close to the stories, interviews and videos we're putting out on this, so thank you for your support!
