Ken,

S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 is one element of the Codex Alimentarius and Agenda 21.

You are right, it is a dangerous bill.


"Why do some of you blame only the Republicans ? Do you have any idea what the Dems have done to weaken our economy?"

Many here including myself have been stating both parties are responsible for some time now. You must have missed that.

GREECE GOING FULL IRAQ!! KABOOOM!
PROSPERITY THROUGH AUSTERITY


"Greece will be a war zone, Sect of Revolutionaries warns tourists"

Coming to a United States City soon:

"The gang promised to step up attacks on police, businessmen, prison guards and "corrupt" media – and, for the first time, threatened holidaymakers."

AND:

"In an accompanying picture, the group displayed an arsenal that included AK 47 assault rifles, semi-automatic pistols and brass knuckledusters.

"Our guns are full and they are ready to speak," it said. "We are at war with your democracy."

The terror threat comes as Greek authorities endure a summer of strikes and escalating upheaval. Military trucks and petrol company vehicles were employed yesterday to alleviate a fuel shortage as more 30,000 lorry and tanker truck operators ignored a government order to return to work on pain of prosecution. Shortages were reported on many holiday islands and destinations in northern Greece where thousands of tourists are stranded."

Are you ready for this on the Streets of our country?? Bullets for politicians?

4th Reich Wet Dream:

The proles revolt and what few laws that are left on the books are rescinded.

Then loosen the Storm Troopers on the populace.

Same as it ever was.*

Corporate CEOs Lining Up Behind Pro-Austerity Lobby In Anticipation Of 'Fiscal Cliff' Battle

http://www.ibtimes.com/corporate-ceos-lining-behind-pro-austerity-lobby-anticipation-fiscal-cliff-battle-842123

[snip]

Corporate CEOs are lining up behind a pro-austerity lobbying group in anticipation of what could be a bruising fight to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, hoping to influence high-level discussions on tax and spending matters following November's general elections.


The CEOs of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS), the General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE), and 97 other firms are financially supporting the "Fix The Debt" campaign of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, according to the Financial Times. With close links to moderate Republican philanthropists, the committee has support among the fiscally minded in both the Democratic and Republican parties.

Its Fix The Debt campaign is looking at the lame-duck session of Congress this year as the appropriate time to begin dropping Brink's trucks full of cash on lobbying to cut the long-term sovereign debt. It has already raised more than $30 million to that end.
