The health care reform legislation that Congress should pass, but won't Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

You know, the kind of legislation that essentially eliminates the sick care industry (conventional medicine) and starts giving Americans the information and resources they need to actually prevent disease in the first place. And since any real progress in health care legislation is nothing but a pipe dream (there are way too many jobs and investors tied up in the continued diseasification of the American people to expect any real reforms), I thought I'd offer my own version of that pipe dream for your general amusement.

Maryland Health Officials Who Coerce Vaccinations Qualify as "Terrorists" Under New Senate Legislation Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I'm curious to know whether Glenn Ivey will support this new legislation in the U.S. Senate that would clearly classify his own actions as acts of terrorism... It will be fascinating to see how all this plays out. Will the People rise up and demand their freedoms, wrestling the future of America back from tyrants? Or will they elect a new tyrant in 2008 and accelerate the nation's march towards self destruction?

At the bottom, there are all the laws that apply to the people, which include this anti-terrorism legislation. But at the top, none of those laws apply to the people running the State. Maryland's Attorney General will never be charged as a terrorist, even if his actions clearly qualify him as one under U.S. law. President Bush will unfortunately never be charged as a murderer, even though his war actions clearly qualify him as a mass murderer (if you kill just one person, it's called murder, but if you kill a hundred thousand, it's called war).

There is absolutely no question that under the new legislation that's about to pass the Senate, called the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, Glenn Ivey's actions would qualify as acts of terrorism. (See our previous report on this topic at http://www.newstarget.com/022308.html ) Even more interestingly, Glenn Ivey merely thinking about threatening parents who don't get their children vaccinated would, all by itself, be considered a terrorist "thoughtcrime" act. Glenn Ivey, of course, will never be prosecuted as a terrorist under this law.

FDA tyranny to become law: HR.2900 analysis by Richards and Adams Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It is a sick situation that this new fake safety legislation provides the FDA with unprecedented new power to stamp out competition to drug companies as well as expose Americans to far greater safety risks than ever before. Provisions within the legislation that creates the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA will allow the FDA to remove any dietary supplement from the market based on its whim. It is now only a matter of time and a formality before HR.2900 and S.1082 become law.

When it comes to discussing and debating dietary issues, whatever you do, don't venture into the realm of scientific The food processors hire lobbyists to get legislation passed allowing them to call these foods, of all things, natural. Ever wonder how a food that is over 50% processed white sugar and dripping with additives can be called natural? Legislation, m'boy, legislation!

FDA tyranny to become law: HR.2900 analysis by Richards and Adams Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Big Pharma will whine that this legislation is too tough on them, which is a fallacy. This legislation is the Big Pharma dream come true. In a football analogy the only question is the final score. Will Big Pharma win by 28-7 or will it win by 42-7. Big Pharma has just cleaned the clock of Americans. We should not forget the gutless Congressional puppets that made it happen. A new tone has been set. A new chart has been plotted. Congress has transformed the FDA into a quasi drug company with unprecedented new regulatory power to control all health options in America.

FDA Revitalization Act renamed, amended and still hotly debated; floor vote is imminent Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

It is vital that the terms "food" and "food ingredients" be removed from this legislation. There must be no confusing the safety of drugs and the safety of food and food ingredients - which are governed by different laws. This bill authorizes, on pages 106-107, the creation of a new regulatory category that enables the FDA and the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA to attack dietary supplements and functional foods. This problem in the wording can be corrected with this simple amendment - so as to be sure this legislation is about drugs and drug safety only.

GMO-related legislation has also been enacted at the state, county and city levels. For more information on legislative efforts in the United States, go to www.the-campaign.org. Food companies and farmers can protect themselves Whether the tipping point is achieved through a new scientific finding, a national education campaign, a religious leader, legislation, or even a well-received segment on Oprah Winfrey, there is an excellent chance that US food manufacturers will abandon GM foods in the near future. Several have already taken steps to protect themselves by avoiding GM ingredients.

Nurses launch national "Scrubs for SiCKO" campaign to endorse universal health care following Michael Moore's film Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

They will urge the audience to help pass single-payer/Medicare-for-all-type legislation such as HR 676 now pending in Congress and several states, and make it a central focus of the presidential campaign. Nurses and doctors are serving as co-hosts of "SiCKO" premieres across the nation.

Health freedom alert: Congress to ramrod FDA Reform Bill through House with no amendments allowed Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Now the House is about to pass its version of the bill, which would place this legislation one step closer to being signed into law by our corrupt pro-Pharma president, who has yet to sign a single bill that actually delivered better quality (or more affordable) health care to anyone. Action needed We need to flood the office of Nancy Pelosi with phone calls, urging her to allow debate and amendments on HR 2900. You may call her office at (202) 225-4965 or email her at: AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov You will be transferred to voice mail where you can leave a message. Urge Rep.

It is easy to see that HR 2900 stands as a serious threat to health freedom, and we cannot afford to miss this opportunity to introduce meaningful amendments to the legislation. I have already called Pelosi's office and left a comment, and I will be calling my local congresswoman after posting this.

FDA drug safety bill passes in the U.S. Senate; health freedom advocates outraged at betrayal of American consumers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Attempts by well meaning senators to correct flagrant flaws in the legislation were either watered down to the point of nonsense or blocked entirely. Many key issues were not addressed, such as the FDA's legal position to prevent citizens from suing drug companies, the massive (and oftentimes illegal) off label promotion of drugs by the legion of Big Pharma sales reps, medical journals that are full of fraudulent Big Pharma promo pieces that misrepresent the safety and efficacy of drugs currently on the market, and a large percentage of doctors on the take from Big Pharma.

Why Michael Moore's SiCKO is a health care documentary every American must see Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I've offered many suggestions in a popular article, The health care reform legislation that Congress should pass, but won't. Lawmakers, you see, have no interest in actually saving America from financial demise. They're only concerned about the next election, and raising campaign reelection funds means kow-towing to the interests of the powerful corporations that really run Washington. Personally, I don't see that meaningful reform is possible under the current system of politics in America.

FDA drug safety bill passes in the U.S. Senate; health freedom advocates outraged at betrayal of American consumers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

My office has been inundated by calls from people throughout the country who believe that this legislation, specifically the provision establishing a Reagan-Udall Institute, will overturn the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. That has not been my reading of the bill, but I wonder if other Senators have heard similar concerns? Mr. HARKIN. Yes, I have received a good many calls as well. And, I have to say that I would be very concerned, as I know the Senator from Utah is, if anything in the bill we are considering, S.

While Enzi refused to change the language, we created such an uproar that assurances are officially in the Congressional Record that this legislation is not to be used to harass dietary supplements. And we headed off a potential attack by Durbin -- who for some reason is always trying to get vitamins classified as drugs (more safety hypocrisy). Key to this effort was myself writing for NewsWithViews.com, Mike Adams writing for NewsTarget.com, and John Hammell of the International Advocates for Health Freedom. Support also came from many other groups who forwarded the message.

All of this was staged to confuse the public and perpetuate a myth that safety legislation was being meaningfully debated. What was really being debated was the extent to which the Big Pharma monopoly would be allowed to continue, an issue that was too politically incorrect to describe publicly. The debate was actually about how sharply Big Pharma's exorbitant profits and reckless behavior would be curtailed compared to how many Americans would be exposed to injury and death at the hands of Big Pharma.

Their legislation perpetuated the user fees allowing Big Pharma to buy mob-like protection from the FDA. The bill created the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA to hold FDA-related patents and allowed the FDA to license technology to drug companies -- thus turning the FDA into a drug company with vested interests in specific medicines. None of these blatant conflicts of interest, which are also primary safety issues, seemed to bother any senators at all.

Update on Senate bill S.1082 and implications for the health freedom of consumers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Also, Sherrod Brown discussed his amendment to prevent Big Pharma from gaming a citizen's petition system that Big Pharma uses to delay generic drug competition (some aspect of this may make it into the legislation). Durbin offered an amendment for meaningful changes to FDA advisory panels. This is a really good amendment and is unlikely to go anywhere. Thus, Kennedy and Enzi are stonewalling all meaningful change to protect Big Pharma. This bill looks like it's going to pass.

This problem in the wording can be corrected with this simple amendment -- so as to be sure this legislation is about drugs and drug safety only. Amendment to Bill S1082 Purpose of the amendment: The bill, S1082: The Food and Drug Administration Revitalization Act, is hereby amended to eliminate any reference to the terms food or food ingredients, such that food and food ingredients will not be subject to any jurisdiction or control by the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the Food and Drug Administration.

Update on Senate bill S.1082 and implications for the health freedom of consumers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Enzi has refused to place the Emord amendment into the legislation, insisting that dietary supplements are not threatened by the language (which is false). Following the Senate vote, the battle will move to the house and then to a conference committee. Hatch and Kennedy are already on record saying they will seek to add a biologic drug pathway for approval as an amendment in the conference committee. This will dovetail with the Reagan Udall Foundation and will lock in the Big Pharma-Big Biotech monopoly for the next 50 years.

I am concerned that the legislation, as currently written, opens the door for considerable regulatory confusion enabling the FDA to use S.1082 to undermine my access to safe and effective dietary supplements. There must be no confusing the safety of drugs and the safety of food and food ingredients -- which are governed by different laws. This bill authorizes the creation of a new regulatory category that enables the FDA and the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA to attack dietary supplements and functional foods.

Americans betrayed by Democratic senators with surprise amendment that protects Big Pharma monopoly Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

That, of course, requires money, and corporations have lots of that -- especially when they run FDA-enforced monopoly price fixing schemes that clearly qualify as crimes under existing anti-trust legislation. Democracy is failing When the government of any nation forgets its people and, instead, focuses on defending and promoting the interests of powerful corporations, you no longer have a Democracy. Instead, you have a Plutocracy (see Wikipedia entry on Plutocracy), where the wealthy elite control the political process and use laws to further enrich themselves at the expense of the public.

Natural health community having a huge impact on Senate bill S.1082; consumers achieving important victories Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

He has proposed 11 amendments to close the Big Pharma loopholes that Kennedy, Enzi, the FDA, and Big Pharma built into this legislation. Big Pharma and the FDA hate all 11 Grassley amendments and Big Pharma has its legion of lobbyists trying to defeat them as you read this. Support the Grassley amendments for true and meaningful safety reform. Major Problem #3 -- A Sneak Attack on Dietary Supplements.
