Draconian Laws Passed at a Dizzying Speed

Regular readers of Food & Drink News will be aware of the evil that is Codex Alimentarius, which is now being put into place piece by piece … by stealth.

On December 13, 2010, a slice of draconian legislation was passed into law by the Canadian senate. I refer to Bill C36, which is just one piece in the wider global plan called Codex Alimentarius. The bill controls consumer products and is widely understood to be the forerunner for another bill that will give Health Canada the power to take some 75% of natural health products off the shelves.

At least as important as this is the part of the bill that removes the law of trespass. Until now, a police officer needed a warrant to enter private property in Canada. Not anymore. Under the new law, police can enter and seize private property at any time, for any reason, even if the person in question is not suspected of any crime.

We have to look at this with a wide lens. The same policies regarding consumer products, natural health products, and organic farming are coming in at dizzying speed around the world, including the UK. At the same time, legislation is passing that gives police unprecedented powers to oppress the people in total disregard to human rights and the constitution of any nation.

Things are only going to get worse for a few years yet. As the economy continues its downward trend – and it will, because it is planned that way – millions of people will take to the streets in protest, as we are already seeing all over Europe. If people would wake up we could do something about it, but of course the general population is asleep, particularly in this green and increasingly unpleasant land. When they wake up they are going to get one hell of a shock!
