Even if you live in a safe area, you may not be there when one of these things may happen to you. Awareness is the best prevention.
After reading these 9 crucial tips,forward them to someone you care about. It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.
1.Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbowis the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it,do!
2.. Learned this from a tourist guide. If a robber asksfor your wallet and/or purse,DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you....Chances arethat he is more interested in your wallet and/or pursethan you, and he will gofor the wallet/purse.RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever throwninto the trunk of a car, kick out the back taillightsand stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy..The driver won't see you,but everybody else will.This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendencyto get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc.,and just sit (doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc.
DON'T DO THIS!)The predatorwill be watching you,and this is the perfect opportunityfor him to get inon the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go.AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.
If someoneis in the carwith a gunto your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF.Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF!Instead gun the engineand speed into anything,wrecking the car.Your Air Bag will save you.If the person isin the back seat they will get the worst of it.
As soon as the car crashesbail out and run.
It is betterthan having themfind your body in a remote location.
5.A few notes about gettinginto your car in a parking lot,or parking garage: A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car,at the passenger side floor,and in the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a big van,enter your car from the passenger door.Most serial killers attack their victimsby pulling them into their vanswhile the women are attemptingto get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's sideof your vehicle,
and the passenger side...If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car,you may want to walk back into the mall, or work,and get a guard/policemanto walk you back out.IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYStake the elevatorinstead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible placesto be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)7. If the predator has a gunand you are not under his control,ALWAYS RUN!The predator will only hit you(a running target) 4 in 100 times;and even then,it most likelyWILL NOTbe a vital organ. RUN,Preferably in a zig -zag pattern! 8. As women,we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOPIt may get you raped,or killed. Ted Bundy,the serial killer,was a good-looking, well educated man,who ALWAYS played on the sympathiesof unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane,or a limp,and often asked'for help'into his vehicleor with his vehicle, which is when he abducted
his next victim. 9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told methat her friend heard
a crying baby on her porchthe night before last,
and she called the policebecause it was late
and she thought it was weird...The police told her
'Whatever you do,DO NOT open the door..'
The ladythen said thatit sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window,and she was worried
that it would crawlto the streetand get run over.
The policeman said,'We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do,DO NOT open the door.'
He told her that they thinka serial killer
has a baby's cry recordedand uses it to coax
women out of their homesthinking that someone
dropped off a baby.. He said they have not verified it,
but have had several callsby women saying that
they hear baby's criesoutside their doors
when they're home aloneat night..
10. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a
burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and
then attack. Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!
Having spent inordinate amounts of time pouring over enlightening, uplifting and revealing materials that relate to spirituality, religion, new age thought, channeled information, Jesus, personal development and metaphysics, while at the same time removing myself from otherwise gainful measures to listen to, watch and read any and all kinds of alternative media relating to the impending doom wrought upon humanity by an eons old reptilian death cult (that we are all supposedly related to) that has infiltrated all outward expressions of our culture (government, religion, media, health care, education, popular social movements, you name it), I sit here weighing the two futures heralded by both viewpoints.
Neither viewpoint seems to entertain much of the other. People who, to quote Niall Bradley who is quoting a senior advisor to Bush, “believe that solutions emerge from a judicious study of discernible reality” want only to focus on what can be proven, within the parameters of “discernible reality”. What of this NWO death cult, with its array of ignorant to complicit minions, which we are reacting too? Does it not steep itself, indeed has it not risen out of ancient mystery schools, secret societies, and occult worship that involves everything in Satan’s wicked lair? They play with earth energies, celestial energies, lay lines and geomancy, all the while leaving us “realists” to playing with only our hearts and minds. Not a fair fight I would say. Why not arm ourselves with some celestial tools as well?
Truth is, most everyone has had an experience that confirms there is more to this life than “discernible reality”, so there is nothing to prove there. Yet, are we dealing with Dr. Strange style inter dimensional game play, are we passively waiting to be lifted up to heaven during the rapture when Jesus returns to earth, or are we merely creating our own reality with thoughts of peace, love and harmony as so many new agers would have you believe? It is totally taboo to talk about the NWO “realist style” within the new age community. You will get shut down and accused of creating that reality.
Indeed much of what is discussed among the “realists” empowers and enforces the elitist agenda. You are supposed to get angry and do something about it, but more often than not, you just feel sick about it. Normally, one feels revulsion when encountering, to put it mildly, the bad news that humanity is the rat in the maze with no idea that it is in the maze in the first place. Alternative media, has been ringing the bell for years now about the very public and very documented and very searchable evidence that we are in big trouble if the controllers of our destinies continue to have their way with us. Not too many people can argue that we are approaching an apex of some sort. Call it the end times, call it the shift, call it 2012, call it a pandemic, call it an Orwellian nightmare, call it whatever you want to call it. In the final analysis, you will call it.
It is hard to imagine anyone of a certain age who hasn’t been caught in a circumstance where there was nothing to do but pay up, shut up or put up, against all inner feelings of non compliance at all of these options. If you start paying attention you learn to avoid the naive assumptions that led you to being cornered in the first place. Contrarily, you make positive actions that get you to the reality you favor (lying on a beach in Mexico for instance). Essentially this is the formula for humanities’ emancipation from the dying embers of the new world order.
Yes, the dying embers of the new world order. In these enlightened times, all the masks are coming off the players. Corruption is being revealed on a global stage and even the most uneducated, uninformed backwards peasant will tell you the government is corrupt.
It is actually a lot easier than you might think to discharge this corrupt agenda. Governments and up the line are marveling at how far they have come in their grand plan. They can’t believe it themselves. They know it takes massive amounts of effort in a cyclone to keep on target. The universe moves towards harmony not deviance. The NWO fights against the prevailing energies of the universe. Repeating this agenda without offering a better alternative or at least a neutralizing statement, is actually contributing to their purpose, in my view. We need more good news on the activist fronts.
And here it is, the NWO will fail, freedom will reign, man will live by God’s law in accordance with our true and rightful destiny. Government and the police state will stand down. They will be ordered by the people.
To quote a website (jahtruth.net) dedicated to revealing and defeating the NOW, “The legislators are bought or frightened by the New World Order, to keep making up this legislation, to rip you off, make you poor, and enslave you. So, the only way that you're going to stop that from happening, is if these legislators are more afraid of you than they are of the New World Order. And the only way that they are going to be more afraid of you is if you tell them what's going to happen to them if they don't keep God's Law and get rid of all this illegal legislation that they've made up. You have to put the fear of God into these people. What are you waiting for?”
Politicians aren’t powerful and they know they aren’t powerful. Even the most masterful illuminati high priest is afraid of what you can do. These people are to be pitied and in some cases, sentenced for their crimes.
I’ll give you an example of how easy it is to change things. Last year at this time, I was sent urgings through the health community to contact my government opposing bill C-54 (now bill C-6). I did. I sent Stephen Harper and his entire cabinet an email that said, there will be a shit storm if he tried to pass this bill. Then I sent an email to the Block and the NDP (didn’t bother with the Libs- irrelevant at that point) that said, “Bring ‘em down.” Two days later the house fell. Who says you have no power? Try it on for size. The universe is bending for you.
If that doesn’t sit well with you, then something as simple as imagining the world where your heart wants it to be and knowing it will happen as sure as your already booked vacation will work wonders as well. Is it any less plausible than the draconian nightmare proposed by our corporate controllers now?
In the final analysis, nothing is a foregone conclusion. I am excited about the future myself. There is plenty of opportunity; Opportunity for a new government to make new laws that finish off the NWO; Opportunity for people to feel and be a part of a new and positive future. How are we expected to go from our present state, to a world of total slavery and domination? There is a heck of a lot of maneuverability in between. Knowing this is a big step in seeing the right future become reality. It has in fact already been done. The NWO has already failed. It is our mission as sovereign souls to wake up to it, anyhow, anyway; the sooner the better.
I have a great life. I work for myself as a photographer, health advocate and writer. I live in the best part of the best country in the world. I have the best clients. I have the best friends. I travel to Mexico every winter and meet the best people. I practice yoga, meditation and healthy eating. I have cosmic and karmic experiences all the time. I have tremendous amounts of faith; a faith that has grown stronger with my reliance on it.
However, no matter how well my life goes, and money has nothing to do with it, I encounter opposition from time to time. I understand that this is natural for most people and certainly for me. I have a revolutionary spirit, a strong sense of justice, an uncommon independence, a fearless countenance, few filters against speaking my truth and a livid temper.
However, sometimes people mistake me for the common dupe. I look like a nice person and most of the time I am. But when it feels like I have been used or misled, I defend my position. I am not trying to please anyone. Everyone needs to be held accountable. If you involve others in your "vision", you automatically engage a mechanism that goes beyond a familial dynamic. It enters into a social dynamic that hails to a much tougher contract.
Now, I have nothing against selling your holistically oriented company to a corporation. I feel that everyone deserves to reap the rewards of a job well done and the free market. It may be a crusher for the clients, but it really encourages more holistically oriented companies to enter and thus grow the marketplace. This is happening. The health awareness market is huge. It is a growing market segment in an otherwise slumping economy.
But please let me know if we are in the middle of a conversation bemoaning the fact that big corporations are buying out small seed companies if you sold a small seed company to a big corporation. Don’t sit there and pretend that it never happened; act like it is a travesty. This is exactly what happened at Buena Fortuna Farm at the retreat I attended last March. Gabriel Howearth, part owner of Buena Fortuna Farm with his wife Kitzia, sold his company, Seeds of Change, with his partner(s?) for a presumably substantial sum, to the Mars Corporation in the mid nineties. Why wasn’t there a mention?
Number two: Raices y Brazos, connection made at Buena Fortuna Farm. Although the outside of this quasi entrepreneurial operation claims to be about community and partnership and spirituality, it is really just Peter Domecq’s grand style house that is being converted into a hostel, restaurant and alternative this and that. My week long stay at the “center” in April ended in confrontation by one of his hangers on about money. I didn’t even want to be there. I was only there to finish doing a free PR job for him. Instead, I had to hear about my supposed freeloader status about town by others who stayed there. Further along, Peter admitted he put his guy up to it. He also said I didn’t co-operate. He implied that I should have paid him and done the PR work to help “the center”. He said he could tell from the start I was very negative person and that he felt sorry for me. That’s what an MA in socially responsible business and sustainable community development will get ya.
In both of these situations, there is an ongoing plea for funds and donations to help the “cause”. It is unclear to me if “the cause” is anything more than just funding their lifestyles and adding to their private infrastructures. My awesome yoga studio in White Rock doesn’t go on about how socially relevant they are. They just open their doors, charge 5.00 a class if you go every day, and have hot showers. Whether a business is socially conscious or not, if it is not working, it is time to move on and usually that involves taking a hit, unless you can sell for a profit!
Third: The Mystic Garden Party…. Wellsprings Hotsprings, Ashland Oregon. Well, I should have known. I thought I could enjoy the funkadelic, state side, tuned in, alt vibe without getting fingered, but nooooooooo…. Because I wanted to go to the 9am yoga class and the ticket booth opened at 9:30, I had to show security my receipt that I had purchased a week before. The receipt read, Saturday Day Pass with the right amount showing. No problems going in; Reasonable enough; Scheduling error. I would have to come back out to get my wrist band after the class. No problems right?
Well on the way out I had two burly security guards come up and ask me where my wrist band was. I showed them my receipt and explained what had happened. They wouldn’t look at the receipt and escorted me out by walking 6 feet behind me, like I was some kind of delinquent. Well, you can imagine after about ten minutes of this, that this intrepid traveler, who goes on about the new world order and the encroaching police sate and how dumbed down and brainwashed the public is, had had enough. I turned around and let loose. They backed off from there, cowered more like it.
I tried to talk myself down while I continued my walk to the wrist band getting place. How could I enjoy myself after that? At least I had to tell management about it. I was told that I couldn’t expect two volunteer security guards to look at a receipt. They were trained to look at wristbands only. While I was being escorted out, yet again, this time with my refund in hand, my conversation this time was with a congenial fellow who insisted on convincing me that this festival was putting positive vibes into the world and that they had done a huge clean up of the grounds. He said I wasn’t being reasonable about how I was treated. He said, “Do you know how many people tried to get in without wristbands?” I said, “No, how many?” “Six”
Yah, well, it all makes sense then. Goes a long way to explaining the huge pile of smelling garbage beside the hot tubs they left behind too. Maybe if I was naked and ratty, I would have had a better chance of being overlooked.
In all these situations, I do take personal responsibility. I was attracted to the vibe of all three places. But what is the vibe? Can it survive scrutiny? Not mine, for sure. Hopefully I have learned my lesson and will stay far away when confronted with excess amounts of hair, flowy clothing, and the ten minute hippy hug. As much as I want to believe and “co-operate”, I really don’t get a good vibe.
I am headed out of the drizzle and cold to warmer climes. This time of year represents a moving away from the darkness into the light. Physically, mentally and spiritually. I wash away the past and start anew. I integrate and process. I try to manifest my creative self, slow down and meet each day as it is. I am sending out this inspirational video here as a kind of salve to all the tension in the world right now. Peace.
The Official Version of 9/11 goes something like this...
Directed by a beardy-guy from a cave in Afghanistan, nineteen hard-drinking, coke-snorting, devout Muslims enjoy lap dances before their mission to meet Allah...
Using nothing more than craft knifes, they overpower cabin crew, passengers and pilots on four planes...
And hangover or not, they manage to give the world's most sophisticated air defense system the slip...
Unphased by leaving their “How to Fly a Passenger Jet” guide in the car at the airport, they master the controls in no-time and score direct hits on two towers, causing THREE to collapse completely...
Our masterminds even manage to overpower the odd law of physics or two... and the world watches in awe as steel-framed buildings fall symmetrically - through their own mass - at free-fall speed, for the first time in history.
Despite all their dastardly cunning, they stupidly give their identity away by using explosion-proof passports, which survive the fireball undamaged and fall to the ground... only to be discovered by the incredible crime-fighting sleuths at the FBI...
…Meanwhile down in Washington...
Hani Hanjour, having previously flunked 2-man Cessna flying school, gets carried away with all the success of the day and suddenly finds incredible abilities behind the controls of a Boeing...
Instead of flying straight down into the large roof area of the Pentagon, he decides to show off a little...
Executing an incredible 270 degree downward spiral, he levels off to hit the low facade of the world's most heavily defended building...
...all without a single shot being fired.... or ruining the nicely mowed lawn... and all at a speed just too fast to capture on video...
...Later, in the skies above Pennsylvania...
So desperate to talk to loved ones before their death, some passengers use sheer willpower to connect mobile calls that otherwise would not be possible until several years later...
And following a heroic attempt by some to retake control of Flight 93, it crashes into a Shankesville field leaving no trace of engines, fuselage or occupants... except for the standard issue Muslim terrorists bandana...
...Further south in Florida...
President Bush, our brave Commander-in-Chief continues to read “My Pet Goat” to a class full of primary school children... shrugging off the obvious possibility that his life could be in imminent danger...
...In New York...
World Trade Center leaseholder Larry Silverstein blesses his own foresight in insuring the buildings against terrorist attack only six weeks previously...
While back in Washington, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz shake their heads in disbelief at their own luck in getting the 'New Pearl Harbor' catalyzing event they so desired to pursue their agenda of world domination...
And finally, not to be disturbed too much by reports of their own deaths, at least seven of our nineteen suicide hijackers turn up alive and kicking in mainstream media reports...
I emailed the second letter to all of the parliamentarians in the house and got replies from 8. Only three were not form letters. Ujjal Dosange, Bob Rae's Office and Don Davies. Don Davies is working against this bill and I am proud of him and salute him. Ujjal was nice but weak and Bob Rae's office was evasive and full of fake concern.
The legislation is in the house right now. You need to email these people to let them know you are opposed to it. If you do this, the bill will not pass, the house may fall again. Politically, Harper will have to amend all the dastardly nuggets out of it to stay in power, so don't think you don't have any. Now is the time.
1 petition* with 25 signatures is more than enough to have your MP to stand up in the house of commons and read it! 1 call or email* from you to your MP counts as 10 people 1 letter* from you counts as 100 people 1 personal visit* from you to your MP or MPP counts as 1000 people!
You Asked about Bill C6 and Canadian Health Freedoms. by HANS Staff
A controversial Bill currently before the Canadian senate, Bill C6, has many critics in the natural health movement and people otherwise interested in health freedoms speaking out and urging others to do the same.
According to the Parliament of Canada website, Bill C6 was first read in the Senate on June 16, 2009, after having gone through the House of Commons. The C6 status page reports that it was reintroduced before senators on Sept 16, 2009, where it continues to be debated as of Sept 24, 2009. The latest debate entry noted on the website is Sept 22, 2009.
There is still time to tell Canadian senators your opinion of C6. In addition to a concise and critical open letter below by David Rowland, PhD, on how C6, if passed, may impinge on protected freedoms, we have pasted some relevant links for you to browse and draw from in your letters/emails to senators.
Please make your voice heard on this important issue.
This is an unprecedented occasion. You are being asked to ratify a bill that violates our charter rights as Canadians. Don't do it. Bill C-6 is so seriously flawed as to bring into question the integrity of everyone who votes for it.
Under the guise of protecting consumer safety, Health Canada is counting on you to expand its powers beyond all reasonable bounds - and in flagrant defiance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Canadian Bill of Rights, and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (sections of which are summarized below). You don't have the mandate to oblige Health Canada. It is your duty to uphold our charter rights, not violate them.
Health Canada wishes to become a power unto itself, responsible to no one. Legally, you cannot give them that power. It isn't yours to give.
The following features are included in Bill C-6:
Scientific Ignorance. In the total absence of scientific evidence of harm caused by a particular product, Health Canada intends to take action against the vendors of that product simply because they believe that it may have an adverse effect on a person's health. [Preamble; 2]
Allegiance to Foreign Governments. Health Canada intends to ignore Canadian sovereignty. [2(e)(f); 14(1)(d)(i)]
Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Health Minister intends to disclose personal and confidential business information to third parties without the consent of the person to whom the information relates and without notifying that person. [15; 16]
Unreasonable Search and Seizure. Inspectors may enter any premises where they believe there are products relating to the Act. They may examine anything and seize anything they deem relevant. [20(2)]
Trespassing. Inspectors may enter on or pass through or over private property, without being liable for so doing. [20(4)]
Use of Force. Inspectors may be accompanied by peace officers authorized to use force. [21(3)]
Confiscation. Goods seized may never be returned to their owner. Anything seized may become forfeited to Her Majesty in right of Canada (i.e., the Health Ministry) [25; 26; 27; 61]
Lack of Training. The Minister may designate any person she wishes to be enforcers of the Act, regardless of their qualifications, training, or experience. [28; 33]
Unlimited Powers. Inspectors may take any measures they consider necessary to remedy non-compliance with the Act, including putting the person out of business. [31(2)]
Excessive Penalties. Anyone who contravenes a provision of the Act may be fined up to $5,000,000 and imprisoned for up to five years. [38(1)(3)].
Presumed Guilty. Anyone whom is believed to have contravened sections of the Act is deemed guilty of an offence - even if their products are totally safe. Anyone who pays a fine is deemed to have committed the violation in respect of which the amount is paid. [38(1); 50(1)(a)]
No Defence. Those named in a notice of violation are not allowed to defend themselves by truthfully claiming that they exercised due diligence to prevent the violation. Innocence and truth are irrelevant. [56(1)]
Bypassing Parliament. Health Canada intends to expand the powers of C-6 even further by issuing Orders in Council which will not be subject to parliamentary debate. [36]
Senators: do your duty. All of the above provisions are travesties of our legal system and flagrantly violate the charter rights of every Canadian. Stop Health Canada from becoming a government unto itself. You are our last hope.
Sincerely,
David W. Rowland, B.Com., MBA, PhD Woodstock, NB

We are greatly concerned to see the introduction of Bill C-6. This bill would appear at first read to be C-51/52 reinvented, but C-6 is an even more ominous instrument.
Over 1,000,000 voters and citizens have made our wishes clearly known several times on the “OURHEALTHYFOODSARENOTDRUGS” issue since the 1997 Federal Elections. Our Freedom of Choice in Health Care grassroots’ organization filed an historic lawsuit on June 26th, 1997 that stopped the July 1st 1997 planned implementation of changing over 60,000 of our ultra-safe and essential-for-good-health “Dietary Food Supplements” and other “Traditional Holistic Health Care” products into new highly-regulated and controlled DRUGS [See www.freedomofchoiceinhealthcare.ca
].
In the 37th and 38th Canadian Federal Parliaments those wonderful champions for Freedom of Choice in Health Care, Dr. James Lunney and Dr. Colin Carrie, worked with over a million of us to again stop our Traditional Holistic Health Care products from being federally regulated as new drugs by championing their Private Member’s Bill C-420.
The BIG PHARMA sneak attack via the Natural Health Products Drug Regulations was and still is being forced onto all of us totally against grassroots free-will.
Bypassing Parliament scrutiny and accountability cannot be allowed to happen.
In addition increasing needless extreme federal regulations are destroying hundreds of Small family enterprises that are already suffering economic hardship. These out-of-federal-criminal- power-jurisdiction and unnecessary and destructive regulations started on January 1st 2004 and are the real source of the Freedom of Choice in Health Care problems that we are all now facing.
In addition hundreds of millions of tax dollars are newly being spent because of driving the safer, more effective and far less costly self-health care source of supply off of the Canadian market.
DO YOU REALIZE THAT OF THE ESTIMATED 60,000 DIETARY FOOD SUPPLEMENT PRODUCTS THAT WERE AVAILABLE IN 1997, BIG PHARMA VIA HEALTH CANADA AND OTHER FEDERAL REGULATORS HAVE NOW REDUCED THE PRODUCTS SO-CALLED “LAWFUL” FOR SALE IN CANADA TO LESS THAN 20,000!!!
There is an increasing perception that none of our Members of the Canadian Parliament can and / or will be able to stop this GLOBAL ELITE DRIVEN AGENDA which manifested itself in April 2008 with the introduction of Bills C-51 and C-52.
In 2008, again for the third time in 11 years over a million voters and concerned citizens of Canadians expressed serious concerns about Bill C-51/52 and were relieved to say goodbye to them with the calling of an election. But here we are in 2009 seeing Bill C-6 raising the same concerns. Canadians have repeatedly made it very clear that we DO NOT want our Dietary Food Supplements to fall into the same category as expensive, toxic, highly regulated drugs that are in fact the number 1 killer of Canadians and Americans [see www.deathbymodernmedicine.com].
Also please see the Risk Analysis chart from the same book as provided below for the real fact-based story on these regulatory issues.
Bill C-6 gives absolute discretionary power to the Canadian Federal Health Minister to take whatever measures she feels necessary to stop the sale of an allegedly unsafe product.
Health Canada regulators have managed for over 14 years of well documented complaints to every Member of Parliament, the Senate and recorded testimony before numerous Parliament Committees and the various Party’s 1998 Standing Committee on Health’s Reports to evade being held accountable for their ongoing atrocious bias and prejudice to not synthetic drug Health Care approaches.
WHY WOULD WE WANT TO GIVE THE MINISTER AND THUS THESE ROGUE AND OUT OF CONTROL SO-CALLED “PUBLIC SERVANTS” MORE UNACCOUNTABLE IN THE SHADOWS POWER?
No one wants dangerous and harmful products available for sale that are truly unsafe. But there are already procedures in place to protect us without taking such a huge bite out of our personal freedoms.
The Minister may designate ANY individual as an “Inspector.” These individuals do not have to have any technical or medical or health knowledge of the products that they are given the power to confiscate. Their only qualification will be a Certificate as to their “designation” of inspector as attested to by the Minister.
Bill C-6 gives powers to these inspectors to stop the importation or sale of a product and to seize property and documents, based entirely on the inspectors’ “belief” that a product may be harmful. There is no requirement for the inspector to produce any documented proof or scientific evidence of harm, merely a “belief” of that harm -- not that they would understand it, anyway. Warrants seem to be required regarding seizures from personal dwellings but not commercial. This leaves small businesses open for random, unreasonable search and seizures at the whim of the inspectors and Minister.
Since January 1, 2009, there have been 4 raids with guns and seizures that we are aware of, conducted by Health Canada and the RCMP attacking sincere and dedicated small family enterprises that successfully prevent, treat and even cure in some cases most chronic health challenges.
With Bill C-6 there would be no court hearing with the accused present; there is no requirement for notice that they are under investigation. They will be required to pay for the removal and storage of their property, once a seizure has been initiated, and even if a person does their “due diligence” to prevent the violation, this CANNOT be used in their defence.
Fines could be exorbitant; up to $5,000,000 and/or imprisonment for 2 years. All that a person would have to do to commit a “violation” would be to contravene a bureaucratic “order”. It does not matter if the violation was unintentional, if no one was harmed, if there was no intention to harm, if there was no victim and no crime!
Bill C-6 allows the Health Minister to dispose of the materials seized by whatever means the Minister chooses. The implications point to the annihilation of business and business owner.
There is no evidence on record that Natural Health Products, more correctly called “Dietary Food Supplements” the same as the US Legislative definition, properly administered and used as directed has ever caused serious side effects or anything as serious as death [See Chart below]. They should not be regulated in the same way that even over-the-counter drugsare regulated. These substances, even properly prescribed and used as directed have, on record, since introduction on the market caused serious, life-altering side effects and even DEATH.
Another very major issue given the total lack of trust that millions of Canadian have since the 1997 “OurHealthyFoodsArenotDrugs” protests and legal action and the extensive 1998 Standing Committee on Health Hearings is that federal politicians and bureaucrats working solely in the interests of BIG PHARMA will deny that Bill C-6 is directed at NHPs.
This argument has several flaws including the simple legal definition problem that legislatively in Canada and the USA and elsewhere in the world there is no such defined term as “Natural Health Product”.
In 1994 the USA under the same type of overwhelming grassroots protests created the “Dietary Health Supplements Education Act” [DSHEA] which has largely successfully solved the century old issue of the federal regulatory line between “Foods”, “Dietary Food Supplements” and “Chemical Drugs” in medicinal applications.
Another flaw is that Section 4. (1) states "This Act applies to consumer products with the exception of those listed in Schedule 1."
Schedule 1 of the Bill includes in its list "Drugs within the meaning of Section 2 of the Food and Drugs Act." Natural Health Products are "drugs" under the Food and Drugs Act and consequently are currently exempted from the application of Bill C-6.
Section 36(1) (c) of the Bill allows the Government to amend Schedule 1 to make Bill C-6 apply to drugs (which includes NHPs) by passing a regulation.
In addition Bills C-6, C-51 and C-52 all presuppose that their s federal jurisdiction and that the January 1st 2004 Natural Health Products drug class change is legal and will stay in place.
We want Parliament making Public Interest laws by openly debated legislation – not by stealth via bureaucratically created regulations similar to the style of government used in the Roman Empire long ago.
We want the power of in us the People. We own the State and its agents and servants areour “Employees”.
BIG PHARMA and other MEGA BUSINESSES should not and cannot be allowed to continue putting “THEIR” Profit needs ahead of the PEOPLE’S needs!
There is one final dark aspect to this proposed bill and it is the proposed “harmonization” clause under “Section 36 (4) A regulation made under this Act may incorporate by reference documents that the Minister produces jointly with another government for the purpose of harmonizing the regulation with other laws.”
The proposed legislated “allegiance to a government of a foreign state” or “an international organization of states” is completely unacceptable to an average Canadian. It threatens our sovereignty as a nation; giving authority to foreign powers to enforce laws that we Canadians have no knowledge or say in.
We believe that the well-funded and profit-driven drug corporations have managed to all but remove from us our freedom of choice in how we protect our health. We believe that the evidence has long been “in.” We believe that the mega drug companies have little to offer that will promote “health.” We believe these corporations are in business for one purpose only, and that is PROFIT. We believe that you, our servants, those who hold office in our government, are allowing your good conscience to be swayed by these corporations. We believe that you are about to vote for legislation that you KNOW not only keeps historically proven safe products out of the hands of their employers; that is, we the people, but puts in serious jeopardy the health and well-being of our entire land for a very long time to come.
We call on you, and hold you responsible, to not give our sovereignty away under the guise of “harmonization.”
Please, let us ALL do due diligence to lovingly care for a beautiful country and society. We urge you as our representatives and servants to vote this dangerous piece of legislation out of existence. Do not continue to put “PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE’S GOOD HEALTH” and be the only motivation in our nation’s health care. You can and must make a difference for the future of not only our families, but yours as well.
You must break rank with your Party Whip System and start focussing on truly representing the majority wishes of your constituents. To continue to do otherwise destroys the very Civilized Foundations of our Democratic Rule of Law Society.
If you cannot freely vote as the majority of your constituents want why would we want to pay for you to be in Parliaments to begin with?
Health care is the number one priority for millions of Canadians and the solution is in a level and equal playing field for Traditional Holistic Health Care approaches.
Please read between the lines on this bill and STOP Bill C-6 now and the soon expected Bill C-51 reworked and renamed Bill and help us cancel the Natural Health Product Regulations and return our Dietary Food Supplements to their lawful current legislative status as HealthyFoods under the current Foods and Drug Act.
No regulation should be allowed to exceed its legislative authority and to change by regulation what has not been done in the open in Parliament by legislation.
