Codex Alimentarius




Please take a look at this information. If you feel strongly or able to sign up for the petition please do so. And if not, at least pass it on to all you know so that they can decide for themselves too.I'm asking you to look at how the passing of Codex Alimentarius in October this year will have a significant, detrimental affect on our lives and those of our children. Codex Alimentarius is designed to make:

all vitamin and herb supplements illegal
all meat from animals that are not fed growth hormones and antibiotics illegal
all food that has not been sprayed with pesticides illegal,
and all food that has not been irradiated illegal

Codex Alimentarius purports to be designed with the purpose of protecting our health and wellbeing. But I think you'll agree it's a no brainer that it's really designed to protect the health and wellbeing of the wallets of the big pharmaceutical and biotech companies.

There is a YouTube clip here

explaining it, by Dr. Rima Laibow MD from the Natural Solutions Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to educating people about Codex Alimentarius.

You can sign the petition at the Number 10 Downing Street site: PETITION HERE

I found it took less than two minutes.Codex Alimentarius will be passed in October unless we all say something about it and this is a worldwide legislation from the World Trade Organisation ... so it will take a heck of a lot of us to make a difference. Please tell your friends.

Juan Son






Juan Son, ex-lead singer of Guadalajara-based indie rock band Porter has officially released his debut solo album. “Mermaid Sashimi” was released February 18, 2009 in music stores throughout the Mexican republic by Universal Mexico, and is pending distribution across the U.S. According to Juan Son, the album is composed of songs that were written before and during his time with Porter and, unlike the music that catapulted the then freshman band to perform before massive audiences in Coachella and Mexico’s Vive Latino, “Mermaid Sashimi” is a more organic approach at expression that strays from the traditional guitar- and drum-driven beats. In this 11-track album, music samples created by ambient effects and sounds are presented by Juan Son’s trademark ethereal vocals and a Cocteau Twins- and Björk-inspired twist.

The century of the self

A very informative documentary by Adam Curtis how psychology has been used by governments and corporates to achieve goals in society. I think this is brilliant, cigarettes in your psychy are merely phallic symbols, check out how they managed to persuade the majority of women to smoke and be liberated. Evil geniuses "Torches of freedom". Doesn't it just make you want to smoke? Give this a viewing and look at some of his other documentaries, Power of Nightmares is really worth checking out too
