The top 10 health freedom stories of 2011

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor 

(NaturalNews) Throughout 2011, health freedoms were under attack as both state and federal governments deliberately sought to criminalize foods, mandate vaccine injections and arrest parents who refused to subject their children to toxic conventional medical care.

Here are the top 10 health freedom stories of 2011, all reported here on NaturalNews:

#1 – Rawesome Foods infiltrated by FDA agents, then raided at gunpoint while government goons destroyed $50,000+ in wholesome food

It almost sounds like something out of North Korea, doesn’t it? But it took place in Venice, California, where ego-maniac California Dept. of Agriculture agents conducted an armed raid, confiscated raw milk, then poured it all down the drain, thereby denying nutrition to the hungry infants and toddlers whose parents regularly buy that food. In a nation where children go hungry every day, it is especially notable that the government actively destroys food right in front of the citizens.

It didn’t take long before the California “goons and tyrants” squad was outed, and we posted their names and employment details online: http://www.naturalnews.com/033318_g…

Here are the key stories that reported on the Rawesome Foods raid as well as a timeline of FDA raids against farmers and food producers:

#2 – California Gov. Jerry Brown legalizes 12-year-old children to give “consent” to deadly vaccines.

In a particularly insidious Big Brother power grab that cut parents out of the loop when it comes to injecting children with vaccines, Gov. Jerry Brown cemented his place in history as one of the most irrational, whored-out Big Pharma needle-slingers ever observed.

Thanks to Jerry “the vaccine pimp” Brown, hundreds of children will die in 2012 from HPV vaccines, and countless thousands will be neurologically damaged, forced to live out their lives as cripples. This is the new Jerry Brown legacy: Neurologically damaged children, lying half-dead in hospitals, screaming for help from a state that seems quite content to just murder them with bad medicine.

#3 – Detroit SWAT team threatens Maryanne Godboldo while state steals her child, then rapes her.

Detroit mom Maryanne Godboldo had a hellish year in 2011, first with the state demanding to kidnap her daughter because Maryanne refused to keep drugging her with psychiatric drugs. When the cops came to forcibly kidnap her daughter at gunpoint, Maryanne said no (no means no, doesn’t it?), so the cops brought in the SWAT team for a 12-hour standoff. Maryanne was charged with multiple felony counts and her teenage daughter was taken away, where she was raped by state employees and infected with a sexually-transmitted disease. This is called “juvenile caregiving” in Detroit.

Thanks in large part to the outcry from the alternative news media like NaturalNews and InfoWars, all charges were eventually dropped against Maryanne and her daughter was returned to her.

#4 – FDA tries to outlaw virtually all dietary supplements with new NDI regulations

2011 was the year the FDA unleashed its “nuclear option” against dietary supplements, attempting to outlaw virtually all such products by requiring supplement companies to seek “approval” for each ingredient they use in every formulated product they offer. If they use vitamin C in 10 products, for example, they would have to apply to the FDA for vitamin C approval ten times. Each application would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in research and effort, and the FDA could simply reject them all without any reason whatsoever.

This is how the FDA plans to put the entire natural products industry out of business, thereby forcing sick, diseased Americans to buy prescription medications that only make them even more diseased. (Repeat business, see?)

#5 – EU bans health claim that water prevents dehydration

In one of the most moronic anti health freedom stories of the year, the European Union ruled against the laws of nature and declared that water cannot prevent or treat dehydration. This decision was widely ridiculed across the internet, and it made the EU look even more ridiculous than anyone thought possible. (The average IQ of a bureaucrat in Brussels, it seems, is roughly equal to the winter temperature there. In Celsius!)
It also made millions realize more clearly why the EU is on the verge of collapse. No political union run by a cabal of babbling idiots in Brussels can possibly survive the test of time. And if they’re uncontrollably IQ-impaired when considering the properties of an ordinary substance like water, imagine how idiotic their economic policies must be!

#6 – US Supreme Court surrenders its power to special vaccine court

2011 was the year that the Supreme Court declared it isn’t supreme after all. Rather, it is subservient to the government-run vaccine court that functions as a “hush money” handout program to keep parents silent about how their children have been ravaged, maimed and even killed by vaccines.

#7 – The Raw Milk Freedom Riders commit heinous food crimes right in front of FDA headquarters

In an act of civil disobedience, the Raw Milk Freedom Riders (www.RawMilkFredomRiders.com) openly committed “raw milk crimes” right in front of the FDA headquarters. (Gosh!)

Operating a caravan of “terrorist” mini vans stuffed full of moms and children, they openly consumed raw milk and cookies and demanded to be arrested by FDA tyrants. The FDA, predictably, did nothing, proving that their raw milk laws are so un-principled that they will never enforce them in broad daylight.

A few weeks later, however, the mainstream media did run a bunch of stories warning people about the terrible health dangers of raw cookie dough. So I guess they really are terrorists after all, huh? Milk AND cookies! That’s like a terror weapon in each hand…

By the way, the FDA operates a network of undercover spies and infiltration agents who slink around like Gollum, muttering things to themselves and using spy cameras to film raw milk distribution centers:

#8 – Collecting rainwater now illegal in many U.S. states

Although we first published this story in 2010, it experience a resurgence of popularity in 2011, achieving nearly 100,000 Facebook shares as it went viral across the ‘net.

What was the story about? How states like Utah, Colorado and Washington have taken steps to criminalize rainwater collection and thereby force citizens to rely on government-provided water sources (which are intentionally contaminated with chlorine and fluoride, by the way, just to poison people a little more).

#9 – Vegan parents in France charged with murdering their breastfed child

If you avoid toxic infant formula products and processed foods, you may be considered an enemy of the state! Only criminal parents dare to raise their children on wholesome, nutritious raw breast milk and unrefined plant-based food sources, didn’t you know? Vegans must be terrorists, too!

#10 – California ballot initiative aims to require mandatory labeling of GMOs

Finally, there’s some good news on the health freedom front. A group of activists has organized a fairly well-funded effort to force food companies to label the GMO content of all food products sold in California. Led by activists like Ronnie Cummins (Organic Consumers Association) and Jeffrey Smith (Institute for Responsible Technology), this effort will be viciously attacked in 2012 by food companies who are scrambling to keep American consumers totally ignorant about the GMO content of their foods.

They don’t want people to know the truth about GMOs, you see, so they claim GMO labeling would “confuse” consumers. Actually, it would enlighten them! And it would force food companies to stop buying GMOs altogether, thereby ending the demand for GMOs and causing farmers to plant non-GMO crops. That’s the whole point, of course:

NaturalNews, by the way, matched $15,000 in donations to the IRT from NaturalNews readers, achieving a total donation of over $30,000 to help fight GMOs. Throughout 2011, in fact, we made several key donations, and our non-profit Consumer Wellness Center awarded multi-thousand-dollar nutrition education grants to help teach women and children about nutrition:

The S510 Food Safety Bill Is A JOKE?

Of course it’s a joke. The bottom line, for me, is that the source of our countries current socioeconomic problems can be traced back to absolute CORRUPTION. In the meantime, pay close attention, be informed, and know your meat and veggie sources.

What this situation reveals is just how ridiculous all the debate was over the S.510 Food Safety Bill which recently became law in the United States. Remember all those Senators who stood before the American people and insisted S.510 would “make the food supply safe” for everyone?

What they didn’t tell you is that S.510 did absolutely nothing to address the safety of meat products. It only attacked vegetables and things like raw milk and raw cheese, completely ignoring the safety of meat products altogether.

And now we know why: The meat products sold in America today are so widely contaminated with dangerous, deadly bacteria that if the American people really knew how much bacteria was in their meat, they wouldn’t buy it!

So the government, as usual, swept the problem under the rug and pretended that e.coli was a “vegetable farming” problem. Well, I have news for the federal regulators and geniuses in the U.S. Senate who passed S.510: E.coli grows in animals, not plants. So the only way it can even get onto the plants is if the factory animal farms are releasing e.coli downstream where it contaminates the vegetable farms.

The e.coli problem, in other words, is an animal farm problem, not a vegetable farm problem.

Solutions for meat eaters:

You could always go vegetarian, of course. A largely plant-based diet is not only safer for you; it’s also safer for the environment. (Go check out the runoff from the factory cattle farms near Greeley, Colorado, and you’ll see what I mean…)For those who choose to eat meat, here are three things you can do to avoid these dangers:1) Buy local, grass-fed or free-range meat products from farmers and ranchers you know. Check out the local food co-ops or Saturday farmers’ markets.2) Cook the snot out of your meat products just to be sure you kill absolutely everything that might be living on them.3) Look for nitrite-free meats at your grocery store or health food store. They’re always in the frozen meat section (in the freezers) because without the sodium nitrite chemicals, they have to be kept frozen to avoid spoilage.And finally, 4) don’t believe anything the federal government tells you about so-called “food safety.” The federal food safety laws are such a complete joke that they utterly ignore the single largest source of potentially deadly bacteria in the entire food supply: the factory animal farms that have now become super bug breeding grounds.

Senators, Secrets, Socialism, and Squash?

(NaturalNews) The infamous S.510 “food safety bill” was passed by the US Senate last night in a sneaky, last minute voice vote. All Senators voted for it, Republicans and Democrats alike. Not a single U.S. Senator — not even Coburn — objected to its passage. 

With this vote, the US Senate now sends the bill back to the House of Representatives where it is due for a final vote as HR 2751 that would then send the bill to the White House for a presidential signature. This House vote could take place as early as tomorrow (Tuesday).

A Betrayal of Food Freedom

This last-minute sneak vote of unanimous consent is widely considered a betrayal of food freedom by the few Republicans who had opposed this bill. TheHill.com posted their report on this unexpected turn of events late last night (http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatc…) and has since been overrun by comments from steaming mad members of the public who feel utterly betrayed by their Senators. 

The Natural Solutions Foundation posted a blog entitled, “Betrayed by the GOP” which blasts Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike for approving this bureaucratic monster that will grow the size and power of the FDA (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=7824).

 http://www.naturalnews.com/030789FoodSafetysmallfarmers.html#ixzz18gRL0O33

The Farm-To-Consumer Legal Defense Fund also posted an urgent action alert (http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/aa/aa…) urging people to call their representatives in Washington and oppose HR 2751.

Take Action Now to Block this Bill in the House

The U.S. House of Representatives meets Tuesday, which means we have 24 hours (or less) to fight back with an avalanche of phone calls to stop this bad, freedom-destroying bill from becoming law. The new bill name is HR 2751 (notice how they keep changing this around to confuse us?). 

Join the millions of people who actively oppose this bill by calling your representatives in Washington and urging them to oppose passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act. If you don’t already know the phone number of your representatives in the House, the capitol switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Call that and they will connect you to your members of Congress.

How to Crush Small, Local Organic Farms

So for all you Americans who love to eat local food, or if you buy food from a local CSA or farmer’s market, you can kiss your local food goodbye in the near future. Once the FDA revs up its army of jackbooted thugs to start crushing small organic farmers, you are going to see a massive increase in the price of local food because supplies will begin to dwindle as small farmers are forced out of business by the Food Safety and Modernization Act.

This is, of course, exactly what the FDA and Big Agribiz wants — a wipe out of the competition from small, local farmers. They want to dominate the food industry in the same way that Monsanto has dominated the seed industry. And that means crushing the small, independent food producers and family farm operations.

So once again, our U.S. Senators have betrayed the very freedoms they swore to protect. It appears that when our forefathers wrote the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, they neglected to add one provision that they never could have imagined would be necessary: The right to food freedom and the right to grow your own food on your own land, then sell that food to members of your local community without being harassed by federal government agents who come knocking on your greenhouse door and demand, “show me your papers.”
