Codex Alimentarius is a testament to the continuing and increasing power of the titans of world corporations, able to take control of our most basic needs, turning them into profit-driven industries, and pressing us into the slavery of feeding their greed.
Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Its name signifies the horror of Nazi Germany. In its conglomeration of 48 camps, over a million people were exterminated in gas chambers, starved to death, murdered individually, and killed and tortured in horrific medical experiments.
Codex Alimentarius is a modern-day tool for usurping the people’s rights to limit their choices in that most basic of needs: food. The rules set forth by Codex bureaucrats, people who, for the most part, know nothing of nutrition or health, are enforced on humanity by national governments and treaties. Their decisions are based on the instructions of masters from Big Pharma and Agribusiness, corporate entities that are on the verge of taking complete control of the food supply and what’s left of health.
What do these two exemplars of facism, Auschwitz and Codex Alimentarius, have in common?
- Bayer, pharmaceuticals and agribusiness.
- BASF, agribusiness.
- Hoechst, later called Aventis, which became part of Sanofi pharmaceuticals.
These are three of the corporations that comprised the super conglomerate IG Farben. They owned Auschwitz. After World War II, IG Farben was split up, putting Bayer, BASF, and Hoechst back on their own.
Bayer, BASF, and Hoechst presided over the extermination of over a million people. They presided over the starvation and forced labor of even more. They presided over unbelievably despicable medical experimentation initiated in Auschwitz. They sold the gas used to annihilate millions. They set up the medical experimentation to develop drugs. They profited from this misery. It was, in fact, their sole interest in the concentration camp. To them, it was an enterprise, a business whose purpose was to make profits from the misery of millions of people.
