Fukushima in the US? Flood berms break around Fort Calhoun nuclear plant, ten-mile evacuation zone declared

(NaturalNews) The American public is largely being kept in the dark about the escalating Midwest flood disaster, which has now been further intensified by reports that a major nuclear plant near Omaha, Neb., has been breached by flood waters. A few weeks ago, NaturalNews reported that an electrical console at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Facility had caught fire, and that the plant’s nuclear cooling pools had subsequently lost power for about an hour (http://www.naturalnews.com/032672_nuclear_power_plant_Nebraska.html). Now, an AquaDam berm around the facility has reportedly been mysteriously punctured and deflated, which has sent several feet of flood water directly into the plant. The unfolding situation at Fort Calhoun reads a lot like the Fukushima disaster. Officials have been downplaying the severity of the situation from the start, and yet it has only continued to get worse, despite their empty promises. First it was the fire, then the loss of power, then the establishment of a no-fly zone around the plant, then the breaking of the berm, and now the apparent flooding of various facilities with no end in sight. A ten-mile evacuation zone has also been declared around the plant, despite the fact that little to no information about it can be found online or in the news (http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/2011/06/28/fort-calhoun-nuclear-plant-underwater-references-10-mile-radius-evacuation-order-scrubbed-internet-news-sites-32161/). According to a recent report by ENENEWS, flood waters have actually cut off the main power supply at the plant, which is now running on backup diesel generators (http://enenews.com/ft-calhoun-nuke-plant-now-running-on-emergency-generators-as-workers-try-to-restore-electricity-power-supply-cut-after-water-surrounded-main-electrical-transformers). Without power, of course, the plant’s electrical systems will be unable to properly cool both the reactors and the spent fuel rods, which reports say are not effectively protected from flood waters (http://www.prisonplanet.com/berm-protecting-fort-calhoun-nuclear-plant-breaks-plant-flooded-on-emergency-diesel-generators.html). The following video clip from KJKN-TV ABC 8 News in Lincoln, Neb., tells a sobering story all on its own. In it, you will see shocking, recent images of the Fort Calhoun plant completely submerged under water (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zosA6pPH_E). And like they did during the early days of Fukushima, officials here continue to repeat the mantra that everything is safe, and that nothing will go wrong. But based on their track record of honesty — not to mention the obvious disastrous conditions at the flooded, powerless facility — can they really be trusted? Much of the snowpack from last winter’s heavy storms has yet to melt, and what has already melted is responsible for much of the intense flooding that is currently taking place all across the Midwest, including in the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and throughout the US states of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri. With more snowmelt and water surges on the way in July, as well as continued heavy rain and storms across the region, rising flood waters are far from over — and the already-at-capacity dams and levees that line the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers will more than likely not be able to hold it all (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/story/2011/06/27/mb-souris-flood-melita-manitoba.html). At this point in time, there are still a whole lot of questions without answers. Why is the mainstream media spending most of its time focusing on corrupt politicians and upcoming election candidates when what appears to be the worst flood situation ever to hit North America is unfolding as we speak? Why is nobody talking about the four major reservoirs along the Missouri River held by dams that are all virtually at maximum capacity and in dire straits? And why is there practically no mention by any major, or even local, news sources about the Fort Calhoun evacuation zone? Those living along the river, and particularly in areas near the troubled nuclear facilities, may want to perform due diligence and prepare immediately for a worst-case scenario. It is clear that authorities and the media are not being forthcoming about what is actually happening, and they may flat out be lying to us all. With this in mind, it is important to be prepared for a worst-case scenario. Stay tuned as we will do our best to mine all available information about this escalating crisis as it becomes available, and present it to you, our readers, for consideration.

FAA declares ‘no-fly’ zone directly over crippled Nebraska nuclear plant, but claims everything is just fine

(NaturalNews) Last week, NaturalNews reported that rising Missouri River flood waters prompted officials to declare a “Notification of Unusual Event” as the Fort Calhoun Nuclear plant just outside of Omaha, Neb. (http://www.naturalnews.com/032672_nuclear_power_plant_Nebraska.html). Since that time, flood waters have continued to rise, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has declared a mysterious two-mile radius “no-fly” zone around the plant for unknown reasons, and federal officials continue to claim in spite of all this that plant is just fine. According to reports, the plant has been in shutdown mode since April for refueling, and is allegedly still dry inside, despite being literally surrounding in every direction by massive flood waters. However, after the notification of unusual event was announced, as well as the cryptic FAA declaration that no aircraft is permitted to fly anywhere near the plant, some are questioning what is really going on at the plant. What is apparent just from the official pictures released of the plant is that it is currently an island, of sorts, sitting in the middle of an ocean of water. Reports say that flood barriers have been set up around the plant to protect it, but how long can these barriers last in the presence of continually rising flood waters? And despite being in shutdown mode, the plant’s spent fuel rods, electrical control devices, and other crucial equipment are all threatened by a potential breach in these barriers, which could potentially lead to a Fukushima-type situation right in the heartland of the US. If everything is really under control at the plant, and officials expect it to stay dry and protected, why has the FAA restricted aircraft from flying within a two-mile radius of it? When asked why the FAA made this decision, Jeff Hanson, spokesman for the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD), told reporters it was for “security reasons that we can’t reveal.” This is hardly reassuring. Further down the river, the Cooper Nuclear Station near Brownsville, Neb., is also threatened by rising flood waters. That plant is currently still in full operation, and the US Army Corps of Engineers does not plan to shut it down unless and until the river reaches 902 feet in that area.

USDA fines family four million dollars for selling bunny rabbits

(NaturalNews) When the Dollarhite family of Nixa, Mo., first started raising and selling bunnies as part of a lesson to teach their teenage son about responsibility and hard work, they had no idea they would eventually meet the heavy hand of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). According to a recent article covered in Breitbart’s Big Government , the USDA recently ordered the Dollarhite family to pay more than $90,000 in fines because they sold more than $500 worth of rabbits in a year — and if they fail to pay the fine by Monday, May 23, the fine will multiply to nearly $4 million. It all started back in 2006 when John Dollarhite and his wife Judy rescued two rabbits that ended up breeding. The family cared for and raised the new rabbits, and eventually began to sell them to neighbors, friends, and others for $10 or $15 each. Having started by first selling the animals for meat, and later for show, the Dollarhites carefully and humanely raised the small creatures on their three-acre homestead, all while teaching their son honest values in a business environment similar to running a small lemonade stand. Eventually, the Dollarhites developed such a highly-respected reputation across Missouri that the popular Branson, Mo., theme park Silver Dollar City, and even a local pet store, Petland, began purchasing bunnies from the family in 2009. And according to John, individuals from both Silver Dollar City and Petland, as well as a rabbit competition judge, told him that the family’s bunnies were among the best they had ever seen — healthy, beautiful, and very well-cared for. All seemed well until a USDA inspector showed up at the family’s home in the fall of 2009, and asked to do a “spot inspection” of the rabbitry. The inspector made no indication that anything was amiss, but only that she wished to see the facility. After meandering the premises, the inspector claimed that a few very insignificant aspects of the raising facility were in violation of USDA standards, even though the Dollarhites were not USDA certified, nor were they required to be. She then asked if the Dollarhites wished to be part of the voluntary USDA certification system, upon which they told her they would look into it. After the inspector left, the Dollarhites heard nothing more from the USDA until January 2010 when a Kansas City-based USDA inspector called the family and said he needed to have a meeting with them because they sold more than $500 worth of rabbits in a single year. When the Dollarhites asked why this was a problem and what law this violated, the man refused to offer an explanation over the phone. Upon meeting in person, the inspector said he was only there to investigate the rabbitry and take notes for a report, upon which he instructed the family to contact another USDA office if they failed to hear anything further from the USDA after six weeks. As the eighth week arrived without any communication, John called the office and was redirected to the Washington, DC, office where a lady shockingly and bluntly explained to him that she had his report, and that the USDA planned to prosecute him and his family “to the maximum that we can” in order to “make an example” out of him. Shortly thereafter, the Dollarhites received a letter from the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) ordering them to pay a fine of $90,643 for supposedly violating a mystery law that prohibits the selling of more then $500 in rabbits within a year, even though the Dollarhites were in full accordance with Missouri state law, did not sell their rabbits across state lines, and raised their rabbits humanely and in excess of minimum requirements. The letter outlined that the Dollarhites had until May 23 to pay the exorbitant fine, or else face additional fines totaling nearly $4 million — all for selling about $4,600 worth of rabbits that netted the family a mere $200 in profits. The whole scenario proves, once again, that the USDA is nothing more than a tag-team terrorist duo with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Both agencies’ insatiable lust for power and control over private affairs is never satisfied, as they continue to prowl around like bloodthirsty predators seeking whoever and whatever they can devour. When will Americans finally stand up to their tyranny and say enough is enough?

Obama administration to approve drought-resistant GM corn that USDA says grows no better than natural corn

(NaturalNews) The Obama administration is actively seeking to deregulate a new variety of genetically-modified (GM) corn created by Monsanto that allegedly tolerates drought conditions better than natural varieties. However, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) says the corn is no better than natural varieties that are already on the market, and that the GM corn requires just as much water as conventional varieties. “The reduced yield [trait] does not exceed the natural variation observed in regionally-adapted varieties of conventional corn,” says a recent USDA report on the matter. “Equally comparable varieties produced through conventional breeding techniques are readily available in irrigated corn production regions.” One such variety produced by Pioneer Hi-Bred International, for example, has been developed using traditional breeding methods rather than genetic engineering. And this naturally drought-resistant variety is already offered in Texas, Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska, according to a recent report in The New York Times (NYT). While Monsanto and the other biotechnology giants continue to repeat phony industry rhetoric about how GM crops are essential to feeding the world’s populations, traditional and organic growing methods continue to shine as the true agricultural stars. In fact, a paper entitled, “Is Ecological Agriculture Productive?” released by the Oakland Institute found that organic agriculture alone could feed the entire world using just the land that is currently in cultivation (http://www.oaklandinstitute.org/?q=node/view/499). Reports indicate that the introduction of the new GM corn would have little-to-no positive effect on corn growing trends in the US. And while Monsanto insists the corn is safe for both humans and the environment, there have been no human trials involving the corn itself that back this claim. The USDA is accepting comments on the proposed approval of the drought-resistant GM corn until early July.

Historic Mississippi River flood prompts Army Corps to release Louisiana’s Morganza levee; 3 million more acres of land to be inundated with water

(NaturalNews) Within days, the US Army Corps of Engineers is expected to open the Morganza Spillway in Louisiana to protect major cities like Baton Rouge and New Orleans, both of which will allegedly experience massive flooding if the spillway is not opened. If and when the spillway is opened, it is projected that three million more acres of land will be flooded, which will affect 18,000 acres of farmland, 11,000 structures, and 2,500 people. On Monday, the Corps released a number of bays in the Bonnet Carre Spillway near New Orleans, which has helped to relieve some of the excess water that had built up there. And later in the week, it opened up even more, releasing 223 of the 350 total (http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2011/05/more_gates_opening_at_bonnet_c.html). But reports indicate that if other levees and bays are not released, including the Morganza, which has been closed for over 40 years, areas of New Orleans could end up 25 feet under water (http://www.americanrivers.org/newsroom/blog/sudvardy-20110513-mississippi-flood-update.html). The Corps has released three maps that project three different flooding scenarios. The first shows projected flooding if the Morganza Spillway is operating at 50 percent capacity (http://www.flickr.com/photos/37671998@N05/5711650540/in/photostream). The second shows what will happen if the Morganza Spillway is not opened at all, and 1.8 million cubic feet per second of water is free to flow down the Mississippi River (http://www.flickr.com/photos/37671998@N05/5711093513/in/photostream). And the third shows the expected scenario of allowing 1.5 million cubic feet per second of water to flow, while diverting any excess water through the Old River Control structure and not operating the Morganza Spillway (http://www.flickr.com/photos/37671998@N05/5711654830/in/photostream). “We have used the best science and engineering available to develop these scenarios,” explained Col. Ed Fleming, the New Orleans District Commander for the Corps, to WDSU in New Orleans, noting that the projections represent best-guess estimates. “They are decision-making tools to help operate the Mississippi River and Tributaries system as we face record-breaking river conditions” (http://www.wdsu.com/r/27877850/detail.html). The Times-Picayune says that Louisiana’s Gov. Bobby Jindal has grown impatient waiting for the Corps to release the Morganza Spillway (http://www.nola.com/environment/index.ssf/2011/05/mississippi_river_flooding_con.html), but the Corps says the river must first reach a threshold of 1.5 million cubic feet of water per second before half of the 125 Morganza bays can be opened (http://www.wafb.com/story/14639978/corps-explains-important-factor-needed-to-open-morganza-spillway).

Midwest, Southern states brace for the worst as record flooding threatens region

(NaturalNews) The Mississippi River continues to rise, and many areas around Memphis, Tenn., as well as in other states, have already been evacuated. Reports indicate that the Mississippi River has already crested 14 feet above flood stage, and it has done so days before experts predicted it. At the current accelerated rate of flooding, the river will exceed the 1937 flood record, which rose 14.7 feet above flood stage and destroyed 20 million acres of land, within just a few days (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2011/05/09/2011-05-09_memphis_residents_facing_severe_flooding_from_fastrising_mississippi_river.html?r=news/national). “This water that we’re seeing coming by is moving two million cubic feet per second,” explained Col. Vernie Reichling from the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) to reporters. “To use an analogy, in one second that water would fill up a football field 44 feet deep.” Other reports indicate that Vicksburg, Miss., is expected to see record cresting of 57.5 feet on May 18 in that area (http://beta.clarionledger.com/article/20110506/NEWS/105060335/1002/news01), and all along the river, towns and cities are having to prepare as best they can for the coming floods. ACE has already detonated the Birds Point levee in Missouri (http://www.naturalnews.com/032259_New_Madrid_fault_flood.html), released the Bonnet Carre Spillway in New Orleans (http://edition.cnn.com/2011/US/05/09/midwest.flooding/), and it may demolish several other levees as well in an attempt to divert flood waters from cities and towns. “We cannot get to the parks, which is underwater, or to other towns,” said one man from Murphysboro, Ill., to CNN. “Most of the roads are closed, plus the water sewage plant is getting sandbagged. (If) the sewage plant shuts down, we won’t have tap water to bathe in or drink.” Many areas of Memphis are already flooded or beginning to flood, and officials have been going door-to-door urging area residents in high-risk areas to evacuate. The worst is yet to come, however, as flood waters are expected to continue rising, affecting at least four million people living in and around the Mississippi River region stretching from Illinois all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico.

Armed agents invade Maxam Nutraceutics and steal natural health products in shocking FDA raid

(NaturalNews) Amidst all the destructive activities taking place in our world today that deserve attention, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has decided instead to make it a personal mission to destroy the businesses and livelihoods of those trying to help people through natural medicine. On Thursday, April 14, 2011, dozens of agents from the FDA, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an unprovoked, full-scale raid on Hood River, Ore.-based Maxam Nutraceutics, a company that produces and sells nutritional supplements primarily for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and Alzheimer’s disease. Back in October 12, 2010, the FDA sent a warning letter to Jim Cole, Founder and CEO of Maxam, notifying him that several of his company’s products were not labeled in accordance with the US Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The letter also stated that Maxam had fifteen days from the receipt of the letter to notify the FDA compliance officer of the specific steps it planned to take in order to correct the violations. You can view a copy of the FDA warning letter here, complete with the name of the FDA compliance officer to whom Jim and his company were instructed to respond, and the FDA district director who sent the letter: http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/ucm229184.htm Oddly enough, the vast majority of the “unapproved labels” in question were not actually labels at all. They were merely customer testimonials about the products that had been accumulated over the years from satisfied customers, and posted online alongside product descriptions on Maxam’s website. Nevertheless, the FDA considered the testimonials to be marketing violations that automatically rendered the products as drugs. According to Jim, his company immediately responded to the FDA letter by calling the compliance officer and telling her “it was [the company's] intention to come into full compliance as quickly as possible.” This included removing all the offending testimonials from the company website after being told by the FDA compliance officer that they were not permitted. “I contacted a patent and copyright attorney, and he had written [the compliance officer] a letter that it was our intention to come into full compliance,” said Jim, noting that his company responded within two days of receiving the FDA warning letter, long before the 15-day deadline period. “So we took down the testimonials, and we thought that was good. And I hired an FDA copyright person [who] went over all the offending verbiage through the website.” Jim cooperated with every demand that the FDA made of him, and was convinced that all was well. But apparently the FDA had different ideas when out of nowhere, the agency, along with the IRS and the FBI, sent as many as 80 armed, SWAT-style agents to both Maxam headquarters, the company’s “Big Gym” training center, and even Jim’s daughter’s house, to confiscate all the products, company documents, and even personal files and computers. “They took all our products, all our paperwork, all our files — we’ve been doing this since 1992 and they pulled everything,” said Jim. “They brought in three big moving vans, they had their guns on, their bullet-proof vests — they came prepared for war.” The armed agents also stole 27 TurboSonic machines, which is a sound-actuated vibration plate device that Jim invented to stimulate growth plates in the body, improve circulation, energize the lymphatic system, and improve muscle strength. The TurboSonic machines were not even mentioned in the FDA warning letter. “We also have a big Olympic training center up here called the ‘Big Gym’ — they went into the gym, they took all the paperwork, all the computer, hard drives, downloaded all of our servers, and trashed a couple of our servers going out,” added Jim. “They took products that were not on the list. I had an old bodybuilding line that went back to 1992, they took all of that. They pretty much just had a free-for-all.” According to Jim, the agents stole “hundreds of thousands of dollars in products” as part of the raid, as well as personal files, insurance policies, non-printed checks, and even unopened packages of manila filing folders from an office supply store. Clearly, the FDA’s intent was to terrorize and intimidate this small company that, from all available accounts, did absolutely nothing wrong. Maxam is currently “waiting for the dust to settle” as it pursues legal action against the offending agencies. Until then, the world must know about this terrible injustice and crime against humanity. The FDA has clearly shown itself to be a terrorist organization that has no respect for the rule of law, or for common decency. To perform a SWAT-style raid against a company that was doing everything it could to follow the law and conduct business honestly and legally is a travesty in this supposed “land of the free.”

North Carolina SB 31 bill seeks to turn healers into felons; but the health freedom backlash has already begun

(NaturalNews) As virtually the entire North Carolina legislature now knows, NaturalNews readers have been loudly condemning the lawmakers there over the recent “stealth bill” SB 31 which introduced new language that would transform homeopaths, naturopaths, herbalists and midwives into criminal felons. (http://www.naturalnews.com/031953_medical_practice_licensing.html) It all hinges, you see, on the definition of “practicing medicine” without a license. SB 31 reads: Any person who practices medicine or surgery without being duly licensed and registered… shall be guilty of a Class I felony. (http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2011/Bills/Senate/PDF/S31v2.pdf) The pushers of this onerous bill have contacted NaturalNews with the claim that this is only meant to “harmonize” the penalties for in-state violators versus out-of-state violators of North Carolina law. But what they utterly fail to admit is the simple truth that makes this law a shining example of the medical police state hard at work: The State of North Carolina REFUSES to license holistic health practitioners to practice medicine at all! You can’t get a license to treat disease as a homeopath, an herbalist or even as a Chinese Medicine practitioner. Be sure you understand what I’m saying here: YES, you can be “licensed” as a TCM practitioner in North Carolina, but you are NOT licensed to actually treat disease . In fact, if you attempt to tell a patient that you are “treating cancer” (i.e. practicing medicine), then under this new law, you can be arrested and prosecuted for a felony crime. State medical boards enforce the medical monopolies This is an important distinction that no one is explaining to you: When a holistic healer says they are treating ANY disease, that act is considered “practicing medicine.” And yet holistic healers are never licensed to be able to treat or cure ANY disease! The state medical boards make sure of that. This is why this SB 31 bill is an assault on the God-given freedom to practice healing medicine. In fact, state medical boards are, themselves, a symptom of the “disease” of the medical police state . By what right does a state medical board have any authority to tell an herbalist that she cannot treat a heart patient or a diabetic? The huge assortment of herbs that can help reverse diabetes is astonishing, and yet the state medical board in North Carolina (and every other state) insists that degenerative disease can ONLY be treated with drugs and surgery. Anyone even attempting to treat cancer with herbs, for example, can be arrested and charged with a felony crime under this new bill. This kind of medical police state tyranny has created the situation today where natural healers, herbalists and Chinese Medicine practitioners are scared to death of being hauled off to prison if they accidentally utter a disease name during a patient treatment session. Were you aware that the national certification boards for most holistic modalities even warn healing arts practitioners that they cannot ever, under any circumstances, teach patients about the deadly dangers of prescription medications? That’s how bad the situation really is out there: The holistic healers are being criminalized and condemned even though they are the ones with the true answers to affordable, safe and effective health care (rather than the Big Pharma “drug everybody” approach that’s bankrupting the states). Meanwhile, states like North Carolina push their toxic drug-induced, Big Pharma-corrupted medication agenda that keeps conventional doctors in business because it keeps patients just sick enough to have to return for repeated treatments. It’s a clever trap designed to imprison holistic healers And now, with SB 31, North Carolina is blatantly seeking to throw the natural healers in prison. It’s right in the language: Anyone who practices medicine “without being duly licensed” will be guilty of a felony crime — even though the state refuses to license natural healers to treat disease in patients! Do you see the catch-22 here? It’s a clever legislative trap, much like the old witch hunt tests. They bind your hands and throw you in the river, and if you floated, you were a witch so they burned you at the stake. If you sank, you were innocent. But dead, of course. Today, in North Carolina, if you claim to be “practicing medicine” (i.e. treating any health condition whatsoever) using any holistic modality (including nutrition), you are instantly a criminal felon. But if you don’t claim to be treating anything, then there’s no reason for people to visit you for health treatments then, is there? A warning to those who would seek to crush the freedoms of the American people I have a warning for the legislators of North Carolina and every other state that is persecuting natural healers, herbalists and homeopaths: What you are seeing right now in terms of the public backlash is just the beginning of the info war that will ultimately see the reestablishment of our health freedoms and the collapse of the pharma poisoning of our nation. We, the health freedom movement, proclaim that no state, no government and no entity has any authority whatsoever to criminalize or imprison those who practice holistic healing modalities, and that any attempt to engage in a witch-hunt criminalization of those who practice natural medicine will result in a popular revolt against your false authority and your broken, bankrupt systems of chemical-based medicine. Criminalize the pharma executives, not the healers Western medicine has failed. It is a broken, hopeless system that only breeds bankruptcy and suffering. It does not produce health, nor does it prevent disease. Every family, city, state or nation that depends on western drugs-and-surgery medicine will eventually collapse under widespread financial destitution and chronic degenerative disease. You cannot drug your population into a state of health . Over the last several decades, the rise of Big Pharma has led to the downfall of public health. Only holistic healing modalities have the real answers to the long-term health and productivity of any given population. If North Carolina really cared about its people, it would criminalize the pharma drug pushers! Throw the Big Pharma executives in prison and unleash health freedom across the state so that natural healers can finally get down to the business of teaching people how to reverse cancer, reverse diabetes, eliminate heart disease and avoid osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and other chronic degenerative diseases. The real criminals in North Carolina today are the Big Pharma drug reps; the pharma marketers pushing poison medications and even the wildly misinformed doctors who treat disease symptoms but never the root cause of the disease. The conventional medical system is, by itself, a criminal racket that should be prosecuted under federal racketeering laws. Yet, instead, North Carolina is now going out of its way to turn non-licensed medical practitioners into felons, thereby imprisoning the very people who possess the only remaining solutions for lasting health! Why monopoly medicine is itself a crime against humanity That’s how insane our world has become today, friends. The poison-pushing physicians who offer only poisonous medicine and the psychiatric drugging of innocent children are given the monopoly “right” to treat disease, while the holistic healing arts practitioners who actually know how to help people heal are being criminalizes as felons. And North Carolina is the state with the remarkable town of Asheville, too — one of the most famous and abundant healing centers in all of North America! To think that North Carolina could sweep into Asheville with law enforcement vans and start handcuffing all the homeopaths and herbalists is the kind of thing that absolutely demands a unified resistance from the People. It is not merely our right, but our duty to stand against tyranny, against monopolistic practices and against the corrupt, dangerous and criminally-operated pharmaceutical industry that virtually controls the medical boards in every state in America today. Legalize health freedom! If North Carolina lawmakers had any sense whatsoever, they would be working on laws to legalize health freedom in the state, not criminalize those who practice it. The state medical board should be stripped of its monopoly over all medical practice and limited to just regulating the pharmaceutically-inclined doctors who, of course, have virtually nothing to offer the population in terms of lasting health. That’s why such a monopoly must be kept in force by the drug pushers, you see — because if North Carolina’s population was given a free market choice over the kind of medicine they really wanted , most would choose holistic medicine! Holistic medicine is cheaper, safer and far more effective than pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy. But this is precisely why the extremely corrupt state medical boards all around the country will fight tooth and nail to maintain their monopolies: They know that if consumers were given a free market choice over the kind of medicine they really wanted, conventional medicine would collapse overnight . So I challenge North Carolina lawmakers who are reading this: I challenge you to unleash a true health care free market in North Carolina and let your own people decide what kind of “medical practice” they wish to undergo. Your state medical board is a medical police state monopoly racket, and if you support that state medical board, you support an anti-American, anti-free-market monopoly system that deprives consumers of the cost savings and benefits that naturally flow from open market competition. Why not let the people of North Carolina choose their own system of medicine to treat disease and protect their health? It’s funny how especially Republican lawmakers claim they support the free market in just about everything — cars, finance, agriculture, consumers goods and so on — but never medicine! Nope, medicine must be tightly controlled by a monopolistic, tyrannical state medical board, because free choice cannot be tolerated in the medical industry, you see. SB 31 is all about eliminating the healing arts practitioners in that state by either motivating them to move out of the state or arresting them and sending them to prison. Of course, if you call the North Carolina legislators’ offices, they won’t admit to any of this. They just want you to ignore this bill until they can get it passed, and then once it’s the new law, they sweep in with the police vans and the plasticuffs to start arresting the herbalists en masse . The true tyranny of the monopoly medical racket This is how the medical system really, really works: We’ve seen it with the forced vaccinations in Maryland, with the multiple armed FDA raids on vitamin companies, with the U.S. Marshals sneaking into Mexico to kidnap alternative cancer doctors, and even with the U.S. State Department hiring thugs to kidnap cancer herbalists in places like Ecuador so that they can be flown back to the United States and thrown in prison (http://www.naturalnews.com/027750_Greg_Caton_FDA.html). NaturalNews has documented each of these items. None of these are fictions. If you want to read just the history of the FDA raids, check this: http://www.naturalnews.com/021791.html The North Carolina legislators, I assure you, have near-zero knowledge about the true history of the medical police state in America today. They know nothing about how many people have been assassinated, imprisoned or run out of the country in their fight for health freedom. They are ignorant of the waters of medical tyranny into which they have now carelessly waded. But let them be warned: The health freedom community will not go peacefully into your prisons . We will not stand by idly as you criminalize our healing modalities and attempt to keep us enslaved under a broken system of toxic pharmaceutical medicine. We will fight for our freedoms and our access to holistic healing modalities. We will stand up to tyranny and be united in our defense of liberty and health freedom . We will defend Mother Nature’s healing gifts even in the face of the most powerful, evil and corrupt pharmaceutical influences over the legislature of any state, including North Carolina. Enemies of health freedom are enemies of America Let the state lawmakers of every state in America be warned: The health freedom movement will no longer tolerate being criminalized for bringing our healing gifts to the world. We will stand unified against your poisons, your corruption and your monopolistic racketeering on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry, and we will be victorious in achieving health freedom across this great land known as America. Those who oppose health freedom in America are enemies of America , enemies of natural law, enemies of liberty and enemies of health and happiness. They have no role to play in the future of our society — a future which shall see the fall of Big Pharma and the rise of both liberty and justice in the name of Natural Law. We are watching it unfold even today, and it is unstoppable. It is the inevitable resurgence of health freedom as a backlash against a century of medical oppression in America at the hands of the FDA and the AMA. No law created by Man can strike down the Natural Law rights and freedoms that are now self-evident: That all people have the right to choose the health modalities they believe can assist them ; that we all have the right to buy, sell and consume raw milk ; that no law created by Man has any authority over a plant created by God and Mother Nature (such as hemp); that no government can extinguish the natural healing gifts and talents that have been suppressed for so long across the human race. We the People answer to a higher law than government law. We answer to God, Mother Nature and the very fabric of the universe itself which says that we are all connected , and therefore healing itself must be holistic. The age of compartmentalized, chemical-based “medicine” is fast coming to an end. And beyond it, on the other side, a new golden age of health freedom and natural healing is just waiting to burst forth and enlighten the human race with its compassion, wisdom and advanced healing modalities that will make today’s chemical-based “sick care” all but obsolete. Today’s “felons” in North Carolina, you see, are tomorrow’s advanced healing practitioners. No wonder the pharma-influenced state medical board is trying desperately to have them all branded as criminals.
