The proposed guidelines are designed to be a blueprint for hospitals "so that everybody will be thinking in the same way" when pandemic flu or another widespread health care disaster hits...
To prepare, hospitals should designate a triage team with the Godlike task of deciding who will and who won't get lifesaving care, the task force wrote. Those out of luck are the people at high risk of death and a slim chance of long-term survival. But the recommendations get much more specific, and include:
— People older than 85.
— Those with severe trauma, which could include critical injuries from car crashes and shootings.
— Severely burned patients older than 60.
— Those with severe mental impairment, which could include advanced Alzheimer's disease.
— Those with a severe chronic disease, such as advanced heart failure, lung disease or poorly controlled diabetes.

I'm not sure I can agree with you Crimvelvet. I own a farm in Texas, growing cotton, onions and wheat and have yet to see any NWO types lurking about. Perhaps they are disguised as Mexicans looking for work.
Walter you mentioned this in passing, but I think we need to address it more throughly. All of us who have learned about NAIS knew it was just the opening shot in the war to gain complete control of the US and world food supply. The next step is in the planning stages and I think this is the equivalent of NAII. Its goal is to implement the Guide to Good Farming Practices disguised as a grassroots NGO initiative. NOTE only ORGANIZATIONS are allowed to join. Perhaps the Anti-NAIS crowd should form several “organizations” (one for each state) and join.
The Center for Food Integrity’s 2008 Food System Summit will explore issues related to sustainability, immigration, food safety and better communications with consumers. www.foodintegrity.org...
The year-old Center for Food Integrity is a non-profit group aimed at promoting dialogue, modeling best practices, addressing issues that are important to consumers, and being a resource for information about the U.S. food system. Its member organizations represent each segment of the food chain, from producers to distributors, as well as the government.
[i[[Several times I’ve looked at exactly this, forming an organization so as to join these groups to find out what they’re up to and be able to make input. They have interesting hurdles, typically extremely high membership fees, to keep out the riff-raff like us. -WJ]
I will also discuss some of the specific measures FDA is taking to enhance the safety of fresh produce and other foods to prevent future outbreaks and to improve traceability when an outbreak occurs. ..addressing the way fresh produce is grown, harvested, and moved from field to fork is crucial to minimizing the risk of microbial contamination....
Some of these activities include: working with industry to develop guidance on ways to prevent or minimize potential contamination ... working with industry and foreign countries to promote the use of good growing, harvesting, packing, transporting, and processing practices.
FDA formed an internal multi-Center group to meet with external entities (such as industry, consumers, and Federal, state, local, and foreign governments) to better understand the universe of track and trace systems that are currently in use or being developed. FDA has reached out to various organizations, including trade associations and consumer groups, to gain a better understanding of best industry practices for traceability, including the use of electronic and other technologies that speed and enhance the traceback process and the use of systems that connect all the links in the produce supply chain. FDA is using this information to develop recommendations for the fresh produce industry to use to improve its internal traceback systems. We plan to hold a public meeting in the fall to further the exchange of information on available technology and best practices for enhanced traceability.
