Washington, D.C.- Monday, a World Trade Organization (WTO) tribunal authorized over $1 billion in sanctions against the U.S., in retaliation for the congressionally passed Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) law being “incompliant with WTO standards.”
COOL law requires detailed labeling where the livestock was born, raised and slaughtered. This announcement is the final step in a WTO dispute brought by Mexico and Canada that has been ongoing for over seven years. The WTO has repeatedly – but wrongly – ruled that America’s COOL law discriminates against imported livestock in violation of our trade agreements with Canada and Mexico.
“COOL was passed by Congress in 2002 and is supported by nine out of ten Americans,” said Michael Stumo, CEO of the Coalition for a Prosperous America. “Our founding fathers gave the authority to pass laws such as COOL to the US Congress, not world government courts. Congress should focus upon taking back its power rather than acceding to transferring that power to global courts.”
Consumers across the U.S. rely on these labels to inform them of their food and allow them to make informed decisions regarding their meat. Congress is now likely to take that information away from them.
CPA affiliate R-CALF USA (Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund) also criticized the amount of the sanctions, saying: The WTO decision is utterly absurd. The entire value of Canada’s live cattle imports in 2014 was $1.753 billion and this represented an historical high. It is absolutely impossible that Canada could be suffering an annual loss representing 45 percent of Canada’s record high imports.
The COOL sanctions decision underlines the importance of stopping the Trans-Pacific Partnership which will subject US and state laws to more global tribunal oversight.
The Coalition for a Prosperous America is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization representing the interests of over three million households through our agricultural, manufacturing and labor organization members.
Boy, if this comment isn’t proof of a one world order, I don’t know what is.

I have a simple solution to this problem:
The United States should stop purchasing food from outside it’s borders. Let them find someone else to buy their goods.
Bet they would come crawling on bended knee begging for the privilege of selling their wares here again.
A few decades ago this country produced enough food to feed the world five times over. Think about it. THE ENTIRE WORLD! Now, with the advent of HAARP (droughts/’super’ storms/earthquakes), and chemtrails poisoning the soil/crops/forests as well as the atmosphere, who knows how much of our prime farmland has been destroyed. Not to mention all of our forests. And on top of that, we have FUKUSHIMA raining death down from above.
There WILL be retribution, however. If not in this life, the next.
“And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.” Rev. 11:18 KJ.
How’s that 1 world order working out for us boys and girls?
