Coincidence is a wonderful thing (assuming that it really exists at all, of course). Yesterday I wrote a blog about disinformation around CODEX (specifically, the dangers of focusing on the derivative or secondary issues of FTAA and CAFTA as if they were, in fact, related causally to CODEX).
Today I got an exceptionally important email from my good friend and advisor, Ralph Fucetola, JD. Ralph is smart and experienced in regulatory law with an unshakable belief in the importance and power of advanced medicine and its safe, non toxic tools (I strongly dislike the word “alternative” – what is good medicine an alternative to?).
When Ralph thinks something demands being listened to, I listen and pay close attention. Although it is long, the article which follows was passed along to me by Ralph and relates directly, especially in the first half, to the very issues that we considered yesterday: the techniques by which thought and information are distorted and, in turn, distort belief and behavior.
The grammar is not perfect but the information in this extremely vital piece make the lapses forgivable. If you think that your understanding of CODEX is being manipulated by words (such as “risk assessment” as a scientific approach of toxicology appropriate to nutrients which are, by definition, non-toxic, for example), distortion (“CAFTA and FTAA have CODEX language in them so they are the same as the CODEX problem”) and distraction (who is a Druid?, who is a witch?, who is “Controlled Opposition”?, who is a CIA Agent?, who is a good person?, who is a bad person?, etc.”) you are right.
So the infighting and turf wars which have provided this distortion and distraction (and which the Natural Solutions Foundation will not dignify by entering since there is plenty of turf to go around in the world of health freedom) fulfill the role of the bloated and meaningless “news” that keeps us disconnected both from reality and from its meaning.
Read, study, follow the links and make sure that you are comfortable with both what is presented and what is concluded from that. Above all, question your sources and evaluate the answers carefully. I know that I do.
You won’t always be correct, but you can always be informed. If you are an American, Thomas Jefferson and the founding fathers gave you that opportunity and obligation. If not, seize this right for yourself as a human being! Sadly, the CODEX battle is no different from any other struggle for freedom. Then, if you discover that you are wrong, your truth-seeking awareness can correct your understanding and you can move on more accurately without being bogged down in a phantom reality which you are stuck defending because you don’t know how to integrate information without this particular piece of empty data.
Please ask, question, pursue and conclude for yourself. Such actions constitute the bedrock of Democracy.

And remember: reality, beyond distortion and illusion, is gracious.
