Your Help Needed – Natural Solutions Foundation Under Attack:
Cyber Attacks Launched to Destroy NSF:
As a trustee of the Foundation, and its Counsel, it is my responsibility to keep you, our supporters, informed about the bad news as well as the good news. We are in a war and Natural Solutions Foundation is a primary combatent on the side of health and health freedom. It makes sense, therefore, that we would be attacked. Well, that is certainly the case right now. These attacks threaten to destroy us, IF we let them. We won’t, of course, but we need your help to survive these attacks and to come out stronger. We are betting that you will be there for us, the way we are always there for your health and health freedom.
What I have to tell you now is bad news; information that could destroy our efforts — not that Dr. Rima, General Bert, Kathy and I will ever give up. We are devoting our lives to this battle, so that’s simply not an option.
Rather, the financial reverses we’ve suffered, and the clear intent behind them to destroy us that way, have made us all the more determined to succeed.
Here is what has been happening:
1. Donations to the Foundation, like donations to charitable organizations everywhere, are down by about 2/3 from our customary levels. This began way back in the election season when the presidential campaigns began to “suck up” every penny available on the internet for nonprofit activities. Dr. Ron Paul raised significant amounts of money from many people who were our supporter base. They told us that when the campaign was over, they would come back to us as on-going supporters. Then, when the economy was tanked by the global banksters, they could not, so they did not.
The new president’s campaign raised over a half billion dollars, an unprecedented amount. Just as we thought that donations would increase again to a point where we could meet our obligations from donations with the end of the election, the financial system collapsed, and the downward trend continued. Because of this cataclysmic financial downturn, Natural Solutions has missed the Codex meetings in South Africa, Calgary and Germany to which we needed to go. No money, no ticket. No ticket, no meaningful health freedom voice at Codex. QED
2. That donation decrease was somewhat offset by the growing success of the Natural Solutions Foundation Marketplace Natural Solutions Foundation Market Place and our all-organic virtual store, Organics4U and other sales through the internet.
3. Apparently, since the Internet is such an important part of our funding, the forces that desperately do not want us to continue the work that we are doing literally engineered another type of pandemic… a mass cyber attack on our Marketplace and Organics4U, in which some automated system or “bot” attempts, sometimes ten thousand times each day, to “donate” a dollar to the cause, with fake credit cards.
The credit card processing company that we are using, authorize.net, has failed to stop all these false card efforts, and charges us ten cents for each one… so far, nearly $3,000 has been taken from our account byauthorize.net. We think that is very unfair. We pay them to protect us. And we even pay extra for a “Fraud Protection Suite” each month to prevent such occurrences. By the way, your credit card information is safe and has not been compromised in any way.
Reasoning that the problem was their failure to protect us, their client, we asked authorize.net to reverse the $3K which we could ill afford to lose and which was taken from our bank account because of their lack of ability to do the job we were paying for, “donate” their charges to us, and receive a tax write-off.
We tried persistently to contact people in the company who might have the vision to understand such an approach. However, the company prefers the money to the good publicity that would result from us telling all you that authorize.net is a public spirited (and fair-minded) company. They are not going to reverse the charges, did not accept the donation option and so we are working to find another merchant services company that will not be so easy to use to attack us.
If you have a merchant account, you may want to make sure it isn’t authorize.net, a company that does not understand and does not want to understand. Any company that is so dense and bureaucratized that it cannot understand the benefit of good publicity may not be a company that you want handling what you thought were your secure transactions. “Penny wise” and “pound foolish” is a common failing of some companies. Too bad for them. Too bad for us.
4. All of this has resulted in severe financial stress to the Foundation. Through your continuing support during these hard times, we are still able to pay for our Democracy-in-Action facility (a couple thousand $ per month) and our webmaster, but we have been unable to go to Washington or attend all the international meetings you need us to attend, to have the support we need and to make sure that we can continue to support both your health and your freedom.
Codex needs us there to speak for health and freedom. What is presented over the Internet is not what actually happens there. We keep up with those agencies by Internet, but being there is far more important for us to defend Natural Solutions and help to keep clean, unadulterated food available.
If you do not believe that, look what is happening to our food through the (sic) “Food Safety” bills before Congress – this is totally in line with the degredation and weaponization of our food through Codex which we have been writing about ever since the Natural Solutions Foundation was founded.
5. The absurd disinfomation attacks continue. Click here: fourwinds10.com to read our rebuttal to this idiocy. Why does this unsubstantiated pack of lies go on and on and on (one lunatic even suggesting that our GMO-free, Pesticide-free, toxin-free Valley of the Moon(TM) all-natural coffee is actually laced with mind control drugs, for pity’s sake!!!!!)?
For exactly the same reasons that these other attacks take place: because we are unique in defending health and health freedom in the global and effective way which we do, and because the other side does not like being interfered with.
What Can We Do?
We need your help. Is there an angel out there who can support us with about $10,000 per month? Or, connect us to a grant-giving institution or wealthy individual? Among the hundreds of thousand people who receive this email, we know there are such people. We need to be able to attend the meetings that you need us to attend and make sure that we can afford to keep our health freedoms alive. It is that simple.
Secondly, we ask you to offset the cyber attack by doing for real what they are faking… donate a buck to keep us going! Better, sign up for a Dollar a Week donation… $4 a month… or more, if you can! If a enough of you will sign up at Natural Solutions Foundation these problems will be solved!
That’s it… counteract the cyber attacks with dollars. Then we can continue doing what we do… defending your health freedom AND your health.
Yours in health and freedom,
Ralph Fucetola, JD
Counsel and Trustee
Natural Solutions Foundation
