There are those who believe that the Wall Street Journal article referrred to on this page was meant to be a joke of sorts. I do not agree, for I have read United Nation's documents that have critisized the waste that goes on in countries like the United States--and right they are. But, as a free nation under God, this kind of interference with personal, private choice violates not only what we, as Americans, hold true and dear to our everyday lives, but it also violates the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The following information came by way of e-mail, although I'm sure the person who passed it on to me found it elsewhere on the Internet. If you recognize this material and you know where it came from, please let me know so I can give proper credit.
Thank you,

Not a single area of our lives will escape the goals of the globalists. In
short, this artcile speaks of an upcoming meeting in which the UN will draw
up plans for FMO's (Food Management Organizations). You will be required to
notify the government of the single grocery store you will shop at and the
single restaurant you will dine out during the year. Your food purchases
will be monitored and regulated.

Subject: Symposium on Changing Consumption Patterns in
Human Settlements, 4/6/1997, New York
Date: Tuesday, May 27, 1997 10:20 AM
Dear Colleague,
I am pleased to inform you that the United Nations
Centre for Human Settlements (Habitat) is organizing a
one-day Symposium on the theme: "Changing Consumption
Patterns in Human Settlements", to be held at the
United Nations in New York on Tuesday, 24 June 1997 as
a part of the parallel events of the United Nations
General Assembly special session on sustainable
development.
The event will be an important follow-up to the United
Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II),
addressing the goal of sustainable human settlements
development in a rapidly urbanizing world. The
Symposium is aimed at bringing together new thinking on
sustainable consumption in human settlements, in the
growing cities of the developing and the developed
world in particular, where the majority of the world's
population will live and work by the turn of the
century, where most economic activity will take place,
natural resources will be consumed and pollution
generated - with consequent impact on the environment.
The Symposium will also provide a forum to present the
findings of an expert-group meeting on the same theme
organized by the United Nations Centre for Human
Settlements, in cooperation with the United Nations
Department for Policy Coordination and Sustainable
Development, at the United Nations in New York in April
1997. The attached flyer gives more information on the
event.
Should you require any additional information please
do not hesitate to contact this office. Your
participation in the symposium is welcome.
Yours sincerely

Blueprint for Managed Foodcare
By KARL-OTTO LIEBMANN
The time has come for the eating public to face a stark reality: The
consumption of food, if allowed to grow at the present rate, will bankrupt
our great nation.
Production of food has risen from 10% to more than 30% of the gross
domestic product since 1945. The Congressional Budget Office projects that by
the year 2010 Americans will spend more money and time on eating than on
working, vacationing, and being sick combined. To counter this threat, a
junior U.S. senator, (whose name has been withheld upon request) has begun
to draft legislation designed to fundamentally reform the way Americans
consume food.
The proposal, preliminarily dubbed "Managed Foodcare," promotes the
cost-efficient consumption of food by regulating access to stores and
restaurants. It preserves the principles of consumer choice and free
competition.
A brief outline will illustrate how the reforms benefit the average eater.
Each year, during the last week of December, consumers have the choice of
signing up at their preferred grocery store or restaurant for the year to come.
These two main retail markets for the distribution of food are referred to as
Primary Food Providers.
Employers will by law be required to offer employees a choice among at
least three so-called Food Benefit Plans. FBPs describe what stores, restaurants,
kinds of food and menus will be covered by the plan. FBPs will also furnish
comprehensive brochures listing the items approved, such as certain
cereals, vegetables, meats, and so on.
The lawmakers anticipate that the opportunity to choose only once a year
what to eat for the next 12 months will save families innumerable hours of
time now spent on gazing at store shelves or menus and comparing brands and
prices. During the year of the plan, consumers will be obliged to buy all their food at the chosen store and eat
at the restaurant they elected. There will be a designated copaymemt, they
will also pay a monthly premium to a Food management Organization.
FMOs, whose formation will be encouraged under the legislation, are
privately owned corporations. They control the production and manage the
distribution of food based on a highly variable Cost Efficiency Quotient, whose
numerical value is directly proportional to the value at which the FMOs' stocks
are traded on the open market. FMOs contract with Primary Food Providers to
provide the most cost-efficient nutrition to their enrollees.
The key element of the reform is known as "capitation." Basically, stores
and restaurants will receive a fixed annual amount of money from their FMO
for each enrolled customer, regardless of how much or little he consumes during
the year. If the enrollee spends more than his allotment, it will be the
provider's loss; if less, it will be the provider's gain.
Legislators from New York and California have objected that some people
habitually eat more than others or have developed rather idiosyncratic and
expensive tastes. Such behavior, comparable to the reckless spending of health
dollars by people with chronic or terminal illnesses, could quickly bankrupt the
provider. To counter this fiscal threat, the FMOs will maintain personal customer
records listing all purchases, creating an "Individual Consumption Profile" (CPI)
for each member. The ICP is subject to periodic review and approval by the FMO.
People with excessive ICPs are considered "high risk" and may eventually
lose their right to be re-enrolled in any FMO. (Soup kitchens and self-help
groups will no doubt assist these misfits.)
To rein in abuse of specialty shops and gourmet restaurants, access to
these establishments will be controlled by the primary food providers. They will
serve as "gatekeepers" and decide whether and when a consumer should be referred
to specialty providers such as Italian bakeries or French restaurants. Their
decisions will be guided by their conviction that packaged breads and cakes
or fast food can meet the same nutritional needs as delicatessen food.
They also recognize that the more money from a fixed, capitated amount that
consumers spend on outlandish food, the less will remain for primary food
providers.
The proponents of managed Foodcare sum up their argument by pointing out
that their proposal preserves and protects genuine American values. The new laws
support yearly renewable consumer choice, and at the same time reduce unnecessary
and costly culinary options. They encourage corporate and individual
responsibility by rewarding thoughtful management of food supply and demand.
Capitation will further thriftiness, invention, and imaginative sales practices.
Ultimately, Managed Foodcare will accelerate the accumulation of capital in the
hands of those who know best how to promote a healthier and leaner America.

[Those of you who know nothing or very little about Liberalism, a
de-emphasis of Socialism, which is nothing more than a softer word for
Communism, had better study the subject, if you care about your future. Do
yourselves a great favor and start by reading the Communist Manifesto; compare
it to the U.S. Constitution. You will be shockingly enlightened at the usurpation
of power in the U.S.A.]
[The "ultimate" objective of Socialism/Communism is not the re-distribution
of wealth, but the control of the people of the world by a tiny group of
appointed World Dictators, with the help of an ignorant, dumbed-down
"peace-keeping force." This is exactly why the United Nations was founded.
Get ready folks!]
Daniel Webster, (1782-1852) Congressman and patriot once said (prophesied)
that "...There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our
overthrow. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another
quarter.
From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government,
from their carelessness and negligence."
