I think it's because of diet that they're so "stupid". Monsanto grass versus/wild native forest and herbs. . |

Now, go back and read that again! You’ll be liable for a $50,000 fine for doing any of the above, even for yourself. No more home-grown camomile tea to make you sleep better. No more practising of traditional Maori medicine without a government ticket, which can be denied or revoked. No more home-made manuka oil to put on your cuts. No more using your granny’s remedies from the herb garden. None of this without permission, fees and rules, or you face massive fines and possibly jail. Sound familiar? [link to nzfoodsecurity.org] How could they possibly enforce that? "Thou we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven that which we are, we are. One equal temper of heroic hearts made weak by time and fate but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield" |

ninnie User ID: 33444631 South Africa 02/03/2013 06:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tyranny = Beast control, the human being is now Satan incarnate. The serpent in them dominated them over a process in time and is viewed as growth and development of civilisation but it is Cain's spirit within overpowering the spirit of Able within, making a human a full-blown serpent and Able's spirit is gone. The Beast first takes the body, living a life of ill repute over a process of time, contaminating society. Then the Beast takes the mind, convinced in deceiption, resulting in being the living dead, an empty vessel, immoral living now seen as moral living. Then the Beast takes the soul, by way of Satan getting inside the vessel which is now the programmed serpent, (the beast of the underworld marries the beast which it made, they now have the same mind, an evolution), making that person now Satan incarnate, which becomes the apocalypse in action when it acts, this was done through stealth over a process of time and it is seen as ashes from God's perspective, those vials poured out of heaven onto the earth, the human race rejects and God rejects the human race, the end time, "let the dead bury the dead". When the Beast has accomplished its power this is forced on everyone. The pimps and bullies taking over by 'holding a shot gun' to your head. This is reinforcing Satan's kingdom on earth while Satan has already been cursed from the beginning. His time is closing down and has to give the last parting shot. An immaculate and exquisite BEAST as the appearance of a magnigicent dinasaur or a snake, a thing that is marvelled charmed and enchanted serpent fully under Satan's power, the master of deceit and the father of all lies. The human race is taken by it and bows down to it, worshipping Baal. If a true believer is denied nature they still have the option to pray for healing resulting in no anxiety attacks over the Beast's control, the beast therefore has no power over God, the people have allowed Satan to control them so they now get what they asked for = death. I know of someone who uses camomile often, in the bath and in drinks and has been doing this for many years, it has saved trips to doctors merely because (a) it is inconvenient as the transport system has collapsed and if you walk to the doctor five miles away you might be pulled into the bushes and get raped or your wallet removed, and (b) due to paying very high taxes to keep this Beast in power, it is no longer affordable to pay the prices the doctor needs and the prices of medicine he prescribes and you are forced to weigh up the odds as it is your OWN health, physical and mental, you are concerned about, and buckel down to using herbs, a longer recovery in comparison, but a recovery never-the-less and with no side affects if you know what you are doing. Coming out camomile soap suds after a busy day with iced tea makes you feel like a new person. It is healthy to disect the Beast, it keeps you sane. |

[link to nzfoodsecurity.org] I have been saying for years that people need to learn what is already in nature, growing and there for the taking,and it could be done without "suspicion." For example, the humble little dandelion, grows on most lawns, most people try to kill it from their lawns, is very very powerful for many medicinal uses. No "growing" to raise attention, jsut already there. |

[link to nzfoodsecurity.org] There's been a proliferation of witchdoctors over here so this makles sense. Can you imagine the public outrage were the government to not regulate those who dispense for health outcomes. Civilised society contemplates regulations at many levels to ensure that some standard of safety is maintained. That is the shared agreement between comunities of humans who want common standards in a range of human affairs, standards that are determined as far as is reasonable, by verifiable methods. So the title is misleading. It should more properly read...long overdue regulation of natural remedies put in place. Workers of the World, Unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33317160 Well, vote them out the next time, on a platfom of non-regulation of natural remedy sellers. It is absurd to regulate the medical profession whilst letting these guys in through the backdoor. If they purport to sell remedies, then put them through the requisite checks. Or else we might as well dispense with regulating any medical treatment and you can take your chance. Like I said, develop a platform around these ideas and place them before the elctorate.

Much of the measures to protect society arose because of the exploitation and loss of life. If these same capitalists have corrupted the use of regulations to their own ends, it is nothing alongside what they would do without some form of oversight. The problem there are the sorts of people we are electing, not the civil standards that we must use to protect us from unscrupulous rogues. Workers of the World, Unite.

Cleolotus User ID: 33654503 Australia 02/04/2013 05:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember my father telling me years ago that NZ and Australia were the training grounds for the NWO and the coming cashless society. I found it interesting when I travelled overseas in my 20's because our banking systems in NZ were so far advanced compared to the archaic English system. It makes sense that they will try things out in a smaller country first. This is probably why this is being introduced in NZ. Like everything you have to find a way to live your life like you want and usually this is best done by quietly doing things your own way without drawing any attention to yourself. My partner and I have been learning how to grow our own veges and herbs. We have also been stockpiling seeds so we don't have to use the Monsanto crap. If it comes to it learn how to grow stuff using hydroponics so even your next door neighbour doesn't know it is happening. There is always a way around everything - a people's revolution is what is needed. |
