I was digging around Archive.org for some archival healthcare videos — you know, because healthcare is kind of a hot topic today — hoping to find some jolly old PSAs from the early part of 20th century with doctors suggesting you smoke meth for chronic fatigue syndrome or whatever. Instead, I found this documentary, titled “Secret Globalist Control over Your Medicine and Nutrition – We Become Silent.”

I’ll let the film’s synopsis explain:

Through a “law” called obscurely “Codex Alimentarius”, the globalist fascists st the U.N. are presuming to control everything that you may eat, wherever you are in the world. Thus through a global dictatorship, you may be starved, coerced, and forced to buy you drugs at expensive monopoly prices. … Through Codex, nutrients are ultimately being categorized as “toxins”; by default everything you eat is therefore made “illegal” in all at once, in a grab for absolute control.

Sure, Obamacare has death panels (or wait, no it doesn’t) but this is far scarier: the UN wants to institute a New World Order like something out of Death Race 2000 (yes, the first one with porn-y Sly Stallone in it) and ban all food. Except that’s not exactly the case.

The Codex Alimentarius (PDF) does exist, and it’s a global set of guidelines regarding food safety. It’s caused controversy because it’s recognized by the World Trade Organization, which uses it in disputes, but defenders of the Codex say it’s nothing more than voluntary guidelines. The biggest issue seems to be that the Codex has called for treating vitamins and herbal supplements more like pharmaceuticals, which increased labeling and dosage standards, which has led some to worry that they’ll lose access to non-pharmaceutical remedies.

While concerns over whether things like vitamin C will no longer be available over the counter do seem like a legitimate point for debate, it’s mind-melting how that sticking point can lodge in someone’s brain and launched into overdrive, leading said person to jump 150 steps of everyone and produce a 30 minute doc on how the UN is going to make food illegal. I mean, limiting access to vitamins and whatnot isn’t something to be taken lightly, even if the Codex guidelines are only voluntary. But to claim the UN wants to ban food? Hoo boy. I guess it comes as no surprise that the synopsis also has a bunch of links that promise to expose the evils of Agenda 21.
