IAHF Webmaster: Anti WTO, Breaking News, Whats New, What to Do, Codex, EU FSD,
All Countries
IAHF List: The Reuters news article below my comments documents the concerns of
a US Senator who has condemned the World Trade Organization saying that it
contains a "Kangaroo Court" which has been making numerous rulings against US
law.
He's correct, they have, and the FDA has set the USA up to lose in a future WTO
Trade Dispute via which the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act has
been targetted for total destruction.
The congressional oversight hearing on the Codex issue that I pushed for for 5
years was whitewashed on March 20, 2001 and the USA has been set up by illegal
acts committed by the FDA at Codex meetings and on their periphery for
harmonization of our vitamin laws to genocidal emerging international Codex
standards.
The only chance we have to monkeywrench the Cartel's devious plans are to pump
$50,000. into the Alliance for Natural Health
http://www.alliance-natural-health.org within the next 2 months for the next
leg of their legal war to overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive.
Yesterday, despite a long discussion about all of this with a prominent US
health magazine publisher, he totally failed to connect the dots, and planted
his head firmly in the sand on me, insisting that I "must be wrong" that there
must be "some mistake" in my analysis.
I assured him, and I assure you, there is NO MISTAKE in my analysis. I am the
first person to ever call the Codex International Threat to Health Freedom to
the attention of the world via my 1996 article in Life Extension Magazine, and
I'm in regular contact with numerous health freedom attorneys including Scott
Tips, Legal Director of the National Health Federation http://www.thenhf.com
and Ralph Fucetola, JD http://www.vitaminlawyer.com as well as numerous other
prominent people who share my frightening analysis of impending GENOCIDE.
The GOOD NEWS is that we CAN and WILL win in court in the EU Court of Justice
in Luxemborg, we have the BEST lawfirm in Europe (Brick Court Chambers) in our
corner, and they did a GREAT job for us in the High Court of Justice in London
UK on January 30th, but we need to put more financial fuel in the financial gas
tank to keep our ship afloat so that we can live to fight another day------
when you go with the best, you pay dearly for it.
So, please: pump some more financial fuel into the ANH legal fund's tank by

IAHF ON THE AIR MONDAY MORNING 7:15 AM- 8AM Pacific Time
http://www.thepowerhour.com With Joyce Riley, please tune in or hear the
archived show
I'll be discussing the frightening implications of the following National
Academy of Sciences Report (Dietary Supplements: A Framework for Evaluating
Safety) http://books.nap.edu/catalog/10882.html via which the FDA and Cartel
have set us up to lose in a future WTO Trade Dispute by falsely defining
dietary supplement safety.
Under the SPS Agreement (sub section of GATT), the only legal means by which a
nation can refuse to harmonize its domestic vitamin laws to an emerging Codex
standard is on a basis of SAFETY. So the FDA has set us up to lose by FALSELY
DEFINING supplement safety.
Keep in mind as you read the Reuters news article below (that the WTO contains
a Kangaroo Court which has made numerous anti American rulings) that my
comments are not mere hyperbole, that I am not being "Chicken Little" in my
dire pronouncements.
Those of you who saw my last email (about Dr.Schneeman, the Chair of the
National Academy of Sciences that generated this bogus "Safety" report realize
that she is totally bought and paid for by the Cartel and that FDA has just put
her in charge of their Office of Dietary Supplements.....
Guess who would "represent us" in the event of a WTO Trade Dispute?
You got it---- We'd be "represented" by either unelected bureaucrat Beth Yetley
(US Codex Chair) or by Dr.Schneeman--- who as I've documented recently had a
research grant at UC Davis for nearly $40,000. from ILSI (International Life
Science's Institue) whose membership reads like a "Who's Who" of multinational
pharmacetical companies--- see

WTO Becoming a 'Kangaroo Court' - U.S. Senator
Last Updated: September 26, 2002 04:43 PM ET
By Doug Palmer
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top U.S. senator lashed out at the World Trade
Organization on Thursday, accusing it of becoming "like a kangaroo court"
because of a series of negative rulings against the United States.
"I am deeply troubled by what has been going on in the WTO dispute settlement
process," Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus told a Washington
audience. "Things are looking more and more ... like a kangaroo court against
U.S. trade laws."
The Montana Democrat urged the Bush administration to mount an aggressive
effort to correct what he said was a bias at the WTO against the United States.
One option to ensure fair rulings, he said, would be to establish a U.S.
commission to review WTO decisions against the United States, reviving an idea
that had some congressional support in the mid-1990s, when the WTO was formed.
Baucus said there were as many as 15 cases in recent years where the WTO has
ruled against what he said were legitimate U.S. actions to restrict imports.
In a recent case, a WTO panel "mistakenly ruled" that the Commerce Department
cannot use U.S. timber prices as benchmark for determining duties against
unfairly traded Canadian softwood lumber, Baucus said.
"This is wholly inconsistent with previous WTO cases and makes little sense,"
he said.
WTO panels have also overstepped their bounds in ruling against U.S.
"safeguard" restrictions on wheat gluten from the European Union, lamb from
Australia and New Zealand and steel wire rod and line pipe from a number of
suppliers, he said.
Those decisions bode badly for the controversial steel tariffs the United
States imposed earlier this year. That safeguard action also has been
challenged at the WTO.
Baucus also took aim at a WTO decision against the so-called "Byrd amendment,"
which requires the U.S. Customs Service to distribute antidumping revenues to
the industries that originally applied for the import protection.
"Even though Byrd Amendment payments impose no burden on imports -- and
certainly affect few if any exports -- a WTO panel recently ruled that they are
an impermissible penalty for dumping," Baucus said.
He added Congress was unlikely to repeal the provision, even if the United
States loses the case on appeal.
"MAKING UP RULES OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH"
In another high-profile case involving U.S. tax breaks for exporters, the WTO
made an "arbitrary" distinction between countries like the United States that
rely on income taxes and those that rely on value-added taxes, he said.
That ruling has opened the door for the European Union to slap more than $4
billion of sanctions on U.S. goods.
Baucus said WTO dispute settlement panels have exceeded their power by refusing
to give proper deference to U.S. agencies, like the Commerce Department and the
International Trade Commission, which have decided that antidumping or
safeguard measures are warranted.
Instead of enforcing trade remedy rules of the 1994 Uruguay Round trade pact,
the panels "are legislating, making up rules out of whole cloth, substituting
their judgement for the negotiated agreement," Baucus said.
Former WTO Director General Mike Moore, in an interview with Reuters before
Baucus' speech, offered his own view of the situation.
"I don't accept that there is bias against America at all. You've won much more
cases than you've lost," Moore said.
"One of the ironies is that everywhere in the world, people think the WTO is an
American monster that's raping them and pillaging them and plundering them. But
when you get to America, the WTO is (viewed as) some sort of conspiracy to
subvert the constitution," he said.
WTO members have set a May 2003 deadline for reaching an agreement on measures
to improve the dispute settlement process. Moore said there are areas that
certainly need improvement, including the length of time it takes panels to
reach a decision and the overreliance on trade retaliation as the ultimate tool
for enforcing rulings.
The Bush administration has tabled a proposal which would open up the dispute
settlement process to more public participation by having open hearings.
That has run into opposition from many poor countries who fear it would result
in a "trial by media."
