Natural health? Scott Faber? Dan Fabricant? Really?
by Jon Rappoport
December 30, 2014
I mentioned these two men in an article I posted several days ago.
But I want to highlight them here.
They would seem to represent strong elements in the natural-health movement.
Who is Scott Faber? (twitter)
He’s the executive director of Just Label It (twitter), the pre-eminent organization dedicated to mandatory labeling of GMO foods. He’s also the VP of Governmental Affairs for the powerful Environmental Working Group (twitter).
In recent Congressional testimony, Faber said all the right things about wanting mandatory labeling of GMO foods.
However, he also offered this stunning statement. Buckle up:
“We do not oppose… genetically modified food ingredients. We think there are many promising applications of genetically modified food ingredients… I am optimistic that the promises that were made by the providers of this technology will ultimately be realized…that we will have traits that produce more nutritious food that will see significant yield…” (see the 2h29m05s mark here)

And oh yes. In his former job, Scott Faber was, get this, the vice-president for government affairs, of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the GMA. Ring a bell? This is the organization that donated millions to DEFEAT mandatory GMO labeling in several Western states.
And now he is Executive Director of Just Label It, the core group pushing FOR mandatory GMO labeling.
W-h-a-t?
Just Label It picks this man to head up its operation? On what possible basis? Because it wants to lose the fight it says it wants to win?
But don’t worry, be happy, ho-hum, just another day on the byways and highways of “natural-health.”
So far, I haven’t heard a peep about this astounding situation from activists inside the GMO labeling movement.
Why? Because they don’t want to ask controversial questions or risk offending anyone? Because they want to pretend all is well? Because they’re zealots in the Church of GMO Labeling and, therefore, their leaders can do no wrong?
Let’s move on to Daniel Fabricant. (twitter)
There is an organization called the Natural Products Association (twitter). It’s the largest trade and lobbying group in North America for natural nutritional-supplement companies. You’d think this group would be squarely in the camp of the anti-GMO movement, if the word “natural” means anything at all.
Well, the executive director of the Natural Products Association is Daniel Fabricant.
Pop quiz: what federal agency gave the original blanket approval, based on no science, for GMO crops, allowing them to enter the US food supply in the 1990s? Which agency has, for decades, consistently fought to whittle down the power and scope of the natural nutritional-supplement industry?
The FDA.
What was Daniel Fabricant’s job before he became executive director of the Natural Products Association?
Fabricant was director of the Division of Dietary Supplement Programs at the FDA.
That’s right. But again, nothing to worry about. All is well. It’s rainbows and marshmallows along the road to paradise.
Someday, if an historian claims that Joe Stalin organized the first gay parade in Moscow, people will say, “It turns out that Joe was really a nice guy.”
Because they can’t think anymore. Because assessing a massive, glaring contradiction creates “too much stress.” Better to paste smiles on their faces and say, “The Universe knows what it’s doing. I surrender to the Universe.”
Keeping things natural…

Dear Jon R.:
Thanks for explaining the two-faced nature of these men. However, their purpose is as the CONTROLLED OPPOSITION. This is a distraction to hijack the Ban GMO’s Outright Movement. Men like these hijack the GMO labelling movement to control it, so that people are lead down the garden path to believe that some one is representing the mandatory GMO labelling side. Control the debate to control the outcome, which is that GMO’s will continue to be sold to consumers with or without labelling. The Real answer is BAN GMO’s completely.
An example of this Controlled Opposition is if in the US elections there was a third party besides Republican or Democrat like the Ross Perot of the 1990’s. I am also reminded that in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict there used to be Israel vs. the PLO. Then suddenly out of nowhere HAMAS came into the picture as an alternative to the PLO. HAMAS was probably formed by Israel’s Mossad as a way of dividing the Palestinians further not bringing them closer together. Think that is funny, then remember that middle eastern Israelis and Muslims/ Palestinians look the same when dressed in westernized clothing.
These two men are just like that: divide and control the debate and conquor the outcome. They guarantee that GMO’s are here to stay. This is unfortunate for humanity. Thank, Jon.
I love following your threads Jon, and you are so right in the fact that people no longer think. This ties back to another recent article of yours about the Trivium. “THEY” have had the Prussian education system in place in this country for about 100 years, and the people have become the robotic non thinkers that the system was designed to create. A job well done?
The Trivium is the method of critical analysis that is so sorely needed now, with a healthy dose of imagination to speed up the transformation from where we have been manipulated to be, on to something truly amazing.
To me, the first step would be to finally bury the walking corpse of the “corporation” model, and make being a human being legal again. We were promised “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” but there is no guarantee on the quality of that life or that it can not be taxed out of existence. There is no guarantee that your liberty will no be severely limited or even a decent definition of what “liberty” is, and that there is any guarantee that if you are so lucky as to actually obtain “happiness” that you will be allowed to keep it.
We are all “resources” of the corporations, and until we make the corporate model extinct, the corporations will forever have more money than us and will own us. “THEY” created the “corporation” out of their imaginations and rule us as possessions to be profited from. It is time for every one of us, one an individual grass root (singular) level, to create something else and bury THEIR corpse. But first we must re-learn HOW to think and process and analyze information again.
Thank you for all of your hard work and freely shared insight. You certainly lay a fine plate of food for thought, with numerous courses finely interwoven, and it is appreciated by many.
Hello 😉
A simple suggestion for links of videos to be viewed at a certain specific time:
use the option ‘?t=2h29m5s’ Like this
(see here)
As for the reality of the facts presented… I can only write: WTF?!
I now know that the acronym EWG stands for “Engineered World for Gmo”!
😎
And don’t forget… when you eye Nestle’s products, that they paid 1.5M$ to fight GMO labeling. In any case, there is not one of their 2000 products that I consider healthy enough to eat. (Aged 77, in robust med-free health).
Even their very expensive super-formula baby food has sugar as the first item on the contents list, ie the most of any ingredient by weight, not forgetting the toxic soy also there.
…. don’t worry about it, it’s all good, it’s all just an experience ….
Another example of the macabre satire currently known as life.
Maybe there are people within Just Label It, or supporting it, who genuinely believe Faber is an experienced insider who shares their goals. If so, they need to do some rethinking.
As for the Natural Products Association, my cynicism just soared to new heights.
Thanks for the valuable info.
Glad I’m not the only One that sees a problem in the “new age” approach of “trusting” the “universe” to rectify the evils created in profit motive. That sort of approach is EXACTLY what these evil powers seek Us to have! If We do nothing, take no action, “trust…” We will be trusting all the way to Our slaughter and the total control of any survivors.
I take action in sharing awareness of a solution to the madness that the profit motive promotes. 50+ years of My life have been dedicated to solving for the issues such motive creates, and now, having such a solution, I share it because I cannot implement it alone. The awareness has to spread to the tipping point such that it seems everyOne is talking about it. Then, We WILL create better on this planet, stripping profit as motive, and leaving only pride in product, desire to actually help, creation of betterment, and a love of doing what One is doing, as the motive(s) to do things.
It removes the psychopathic from power, allowing saner, much more compassionate Humans to direct where We go on this planet.
And so, I share again for the reader a link to My work, and ask that it be shared widely. Stop “trusting” and take action, even if it is just sharing awareness.
T.A.P. – You’re It!

“Did You give an oath and find it’s bait and switch? Well, there is no oath then, is there?”
“ALL money systems promote the most psychopathic to the top of the money/power heap – THEY will do ANYTHING to get there.”
“The love of money is the root of all evil; remove the soil in which the root grows…”
“If the universe is made of mostly “dark” energy…can We use it to run Our cars?”
“If You want peace, take the PROFIT out of war.”
Our societal matrix is formed strictly by self-serving interests. That’s because the choice to be independent of the Source has warped every perspective within this new “natural.” The now-natural human is flawed in thought and purpose without hope of any “natural” correction of course direction. The race is now not unlike a whale with misshapen flukes, pectoral fins, and warped echolocation. The desirable state of which Jon speaks wherein pretense and discoloration are absent, can never be realized without connection and realignment to the Originator of all capacities.
