I
have to begin this article with a bow in the direction of a remarkable
site, SSRI stories. There you will find a huge assembly of media
articles documenting the death and destruction wrought by psychiatric
drugs. In particular, read the index:
It previews the whole picture. It connects the dots.
Keep in mind that all the indicted psychiatric drugs have been approved by the FDA as safe and effective.
Over
the years, I've written much about the the FDA. I thought I'd assemble a
small fraction of it in one place, to reveal what this federal agency
is really all about and why it should be dismantled, amid a blizzard of
prosecutions and convictions for negligent homicide and, yes, murder.
HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW
by Jon Rappoport
May 18, 2012
The day of the Smoking Gun has arrived.
The discovery of a page, on the FDA's own website, proves the FDA is fully aware that:
the drugs it certifies as safe have been killing Americans, at the rate of 100,000 per year.
The FDA website page is currently available under the heading, "Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions."
The FDA takes no blame, no responsibility for its own actions, and yet it admits the death statistics are accurate.
As an investigative reporter, I have been tracking and writing about pharmaceutically-caused deaths for 10 years. I
have, on numerous occasions, cited Dr. Barbara Starfield's report in
the July 26th, 2000, Journal of the American Medical Association,
in which she presents the figure of 106,000 deaths per year, in
America, as a direct result of these drugs. I have claimed that the
federal government and, in particular, the FDA, are aware of these
numbers.
Holocaust?
Add up the figures. Medical drugs cause 100,000 deaths in America every
year: that means a million Americans are killed every decade.
Understand
this very clearly. No medical drug in America can be released for
public use until and unless the FDA states it is safe. The FDA is the
agency that makes every such decision on every drug. The buck stops
there.
Yes,
the FDA has a "special relationship" with the pharmaceutical industry.
Yes, the FDA utilizes doctors on their drug-approval panels that have
ties to the pharmaceutical industry. But, in the end, it is the FDA
official seal that opens the gate and permits a drug to be prescribed by
doctors and sold in the US.
In
all my research on this medical-drug holocaust, I have never found a
case in which any FDA employee was censured, fired, or criminally
prosecuted for the killing effects of these drugs.
That is a track record Organized Crime would be proud of, and the comparison is not frivolous.
On
this FDA website page that has just come to light, the FDA also readily
admits that deaths from medical drugs are the fourth leading cause of
death in America, ahead of pulmonary disease, diabetes, AIDS, pneumonia,
accidents, and automobile fatalities.
The
FDA website page also states there are 2 million serious adverse
reactions (ADRs) from the ingestion of medical drugs, annually, in the
US. When the FDA says "serious," they aren't talking about headaches or
slight dizziness or temporary nausea. "Serious" means stroke, heart
attack, neurological damage; destruction of that magnitude. Therefore,
per decade, that adds up to 20 million ADRs. 20 million.
Examining
these figures for death and debilitation, can you find any comparable
crime in the American landscape? And yet the major media have been
silent. This is the kind of story that could make Watergate look like a
Sunday-school picnic. If a paper like the New York Times let loose their
hounds to relentlessly explore the horror, I assure you that, in time,
doctors and medical bureaucrats and even drug-company employees would
come out of the woodwork with confessions, and the resultant explosions
and outcries would shake the medical/pharmaceutical foundations of
America and the planet.
But
these major media outlets are an intrinsic part of the Matrix that
protects and sustains the crimes and the criminals. It isn't just
drug-advertising profits that keep the leading newspapers and television
networks silent. It's collusion to protect "a revered institution"-the
medical system.
Also at stake is Obamacare.
The connection is vivid and unmistakable. Millions more Americans,
previously uninsured, will be drawn into the system and subjected to the
very drugs are killing and maiming people at such a horrific rate.
Where
has the US Department of Justice been all these years? Is there any
way, under the sun, that a million deaths per decade can be excused? Is
there any way the FDA and the drug companies can float safely in the
upper atmosphere of privilege, while the concept of justice retains any
meaning? Where are criminal prosecutions?
The
revelations of ongoing knowledge to be found at the FDA website page
stagger the mind. Here is yet another implication: what about all the
studies on drugs that are published in prestigious medical journals,
month after month? These studies unequivocally claim the drugs are safe.
What level of fraud must exist for such peer-reviewed studies to attain
the false status of medical fact?
Perhaps
this quote from Marcia Angell, former editor of the New England Journal
of Medicine, will clarify that aspect of the scandal:
"It
is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research
that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or
authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion,
which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor
of The New England Journal of Medicine."
(Marcia Angell, MD, The New York Review of Books, January 15, 2009)
Meanwhile,
the FDA pursues an agenda of attacking nutritional supplements, and the
latest federal regulations classify these supplements as "potentially
dangerous"-despite the fact that supplements have a record of safety
that is astonishing.
It
is time for these murderous government crimes to end. It is time for
all responsible parties to be brought to justice, to real justice. It is
time for the public to realize that 100,000 people dying every year in
the US, because they take medical drugs, is the equivalent of 33
airliner crashes into the Twin Towers, every year, year after year.
It
is only necessary for Department of Justice officials to climb into
cars and drive down the road to the headquarters of the FDA and start
making arrests, on a charge of negligent homicide. At minimum.
ANOTHER SMOKING GUN: THE FDA VS. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
By Jon Rappoport
June 12, 2012
If
you worked for a federal agency that was killing people at the rate of
100,000 a year, every year, like clockwork, and if you knew it, wouldn't
you feel compelled to say or do something about it?
At the FDA, which is, in fact, killing Americans at that rate, no one has ever felt the need to step forward and speak up.
Let's
shift the venue and ask the same question. If you were a medical
reporter for a major media outlet in the US, and you knew the above
fact, wouldn't you make it a priority to say something, write something,
do something?
I'm
talking about people like Sanjay Gupta (CNN, CBS), Gina Kolata (NY
Times), Tim Johnson (ABC News), and Thomas Maugh II (LA Times).
And
with that, let's get to the latest smoking gun. The citation is: BMJ
June 7, 2012 (BMJ 2012:344:e3989). Author, Jeanne Lenzer.
Lenzer
refers to a report by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices: "It
calculated that in 2011 prescription drugs were associated with two to
four million people in the US experiencing 'serious, disabling, or fatal
injuries, including 128,000 deaths.'"
The report called this "one of the most significant perils to humans resulting from human activity."
And
here is the final dagger. The report was compiled by outside
researchers who went into the FDA's own database of "serious adverse
[medical-drug] events."
Therefore,
to say the FDA isn't aware of this finding would be absurd. The FDA
knows. The FDA knows and it isn't saying anything about it, because THE
FDA CERTIFIES, AS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE, ALL THE DRUGS THAT ARE ROUTINELY
MAIMING AND KILLING AMERICANS.
Previously,
I have documented that the FDA knows; the FDA has a page on its own
website that admits 100,000 people are killed every year by medical
drugs, and two million more people are severely injured by the drugs.
(Google "FDA Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions")
And
for the past five years or so, I have been writing about and citing a
published report by the late Dr. Barbara Starfield that indicates
106,000 people in the US are killed by medical drugs every year. Until
her death last year, Dr. Starfield worked at the Johns Hopkins School of
Public Health. Her report, "Is US health really the best in the
world?", was published in the Journal of American Medical Association on
July 26, 2000.
Since
the Department of Homeland Security is working its way into every nook
and corner of American life, hyper-extending its mandate to protect all
of us from everything, why shouldn't I go along with Janet Napolitano's
advice: SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.
This is what I see and this is what I'm saying. Maybe DHS would like to investigate the FDA as a terrorist organization.
How
many smoking guns do we need before a sitting president shuts down the
FDA buildings, fumigates the place, and prosecutes very large numbers of
FDA employees?
Do
we need 100,000 smoking guns? Do we need relatives of the people who've
all died, in the span of merely a year, from the poisonous effects of
FDA-approved medical drugs, to bring their corpses to the doors of FDA
headquarters?
And
let me ask another question. If instead of drugs like warfarin,
dabigatran, levofloxacin, carboplatin, and lisinopril (the five leading
killers in the FDA database), the 100,000 deaths per year were led by
gingko, ginseng, vitamin D, niacin, and raw milk, what do you think
would happen?
I'll
tell you what would happen. SEALS, Delta Force, SWAT teams, snipers,
predator drones, tanks, and infantry would be attacking every
health-food store in America. The resulting fatalities would be written
off as necessary collateral damage in the fight to keep America safe and
healthy.
But
you see, the routine deaths of 100,000 Americans a year, after the FDA
has certified the drugs are SAFE, isn't a recognized political issue. It
doesn't play in a debate between Romney and Obama. It isn't perceived
as a left-versus-right, liberal-versus-conservative topic.
Such
is the power of the medical cartel. All those phony stories in the
press, reported dutifully by so-called medical reporters? The stories
about maybe-could-be-possible-miracle breakthroughs just over the
horizon of state-of-the-art research? Those stories are there to obscure
the very, very hard facts of medically-caused death on the ground.
The buck stops at the FDA.
It's
quite something to behold. But here is the situation. No medical drug
in the US can be released for public use unless and until the FDA says
it is safe and effective. That's the rule. Therefore, if the FDA is
spitting out drug approvals month after month and year after year, and
if the drugs are routinely killing 100,000 people a year and maiming two
million more, which adds up to a million deaths per decade and 20
million maimings per decade, and if the FDA and the federal government
are doing nothing about it, even though they know what's going on, then
you have a holocaust. Murder. Not accidental death. Murder.
WHEN MASS MURDER BECOMES ACCEPTABLE
by Jon Rappoport
May 23, 2012
Five
days ago, I broke a story about the FDA. On one of its own web pages,
the agency admits that medical drugs kill 100,000 Americans a year.
Of
course, none of those drugs would have reached the public, if the FDA
had ruled them out as dangerous. The FDA is the single entity
responsible for certifying medical drugs as safe and effective. On its
web page, the FDA neglected to mention that fact.
Imagine
this. You go to an FBI web page and read the following: "Murders
committed by FBI agents are the third leading cause of homicides in
America every year."
Wouldn't that set off alarm bells? Wouldn't there be a public outcry? Wouldn't the the press go crazy with the story?
Yet
somehow, the FDA gets away with its crimes, its homicides. There are no
alarm bells, no arrests, no hearings, no public statements, no press
reactions, no shakeups at the Agency.
It's a miracle.
As I've been saying and writing for a decade now, the power of the medical cartel is gigantic.
When I was running for a Congressional seat from the 29th
District of California, in 1994, and during my participation in the
Health Freedom movement of that period, I insisted we had to take the
attack to the FDA. We had to make their crimes public.
I
was told by the people who were leading the charge for Health Freedom
that priority had to be given to passing a law that would protect us all
from attacks on nutritional supplements. Then, when we had that law, we
could think about going after the FDA.
Well,
we got the law, which only gave us temporary protection, and afterward
there was no "going after the FDA." It was suddenly a dead issue.
I
remember the people who said, "Don't attack the FDA." I remember their
attitudes, their faces, their words. They were not my friends, and they
weren't your friends. Some of them were yuppies selling "let's be nice"
New Age sentiment. A few were most likely plants who had infiltrated the
Health Freedom movement to water it down.
Various liars sell their lies through various strategies.
I
assure you, there are doctors out there who know the statistics on
medically caused death in the US. They know about the drugs that kill.
They know what's going on. They know the FDA is accountable. They remain
silent. They feel no pressure to make a public statement. They're
living under the umbrella of protection provided by the government and
the press and the medical system. These doctors are silent witnesses to
ongoing mass murder. Just as the FDA is a silent witness to its own
mass-murdering practices. And of course, the doctors write the
prescriptions for the drugs.
Obama,
Bush, Clinton; none of these men have indicated the slightest awareness
of the "problem." Did they know? Do they know? Just as I predicted,
correctly, that the FDA knows, I say these men do know. They prefer to
remain silent as well. They don't want to touch this genocidal crime.
They don't have the character or the courage.
Presidents
and deans of medical schools know. Teachers at these schools know.
Pharmaceutical executives know. Medical researchers know. The CDC knows.
The World Health Organization knows. Editors and reporters at major
press outlets know. The DEA knows. The US Dept. of Justice knows.
And
now, a growing segment of the Internet knows. Will this story, finally,
build into an irresistible roar? Or will it again sink back into the
shadows?
A
Matrix of hypnotic effect and cognitive dissonance is the obstacle.
People find it extremely difficult to believe that a federal agency, in
broad daylight, year after year, countenances and sustains the
unnecessary deaths of 100,000 people.
People find it extremely difficult to believe that, were such a story true, they would not have heard about it already.
People want to believe that a crime of this boggling magnitude would already have been prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
People want to believe the secular religion known as Medicine is devoted to healing in all its forms.
People
want to believe that, since doctors can put accident victims back
together in one piece and can set broken bones and temporarily reduce
inflammation, the practice of medicine must be uniformly successful
across the board.
To shatter all these firmly held conviction in one fell swoop is too much for many people to absorb.
FDA DRUG REVIEWER: "ONE FDA MANAGER THREATENED MY CHILDREN"
by Jon Rappoport
August 14, 2012
In
a stunning interview with Truthout's Martha Rosenberg, former FDA drug
reviewer, Ronald Cavanagh, exposes the FDA as a relentless criminal
mafia protecting its client, Big Pharma, with a host of mob strategies.
Cavanagh: "...widespread [FDA] racketeering, including witness tampering and witness retaliation."
"I was threatened with prison."
"One
[FDA] manager threatened my children...I was afraid that I could be
killed for talking to Congress and criminal investigators."
Cavanagh
reviewed new drug applications made to the FDA by pharmaceutical
companies. He was one of the holdouts at the Agency who insisted that
the drugs had to be safe and effective before being released to the
public.
But
honest appraisal wasn't part of the FDA culture, and Cavanagh swam
against the tide, until he realized his life and the life of his
children was on the line.
What
was his covert task at the FDA? "Drug reviewers were clearly told not
to question drug companies and that our job was to approve drugs." In
other words, rubber stamp them. Say the drugs were safe and effective
when they were not.
Cavanagh's
revelations are astonishing. He recalls a meeting where a drug-company
representative flat-out stated that his company had paid the FDA for a
new-drug approval. Paid for it. As in bribe.
He
remarks that the drug pyridostigmine, given to US troops to prevent the
effects of nerve gas, "actually increased the lethality" of certain
nerve agents.
Cavanagh
recalls being given records of safety data on a drug---and then his
bosses told him which sections not to read. Obviously, they knew the
drug was dangerous and they knew exactly where, in the reports, that
fact would be revealed.
Read
the entire landmark interview for yourself and see what the FDA really
is. We are not dealing with isolated incidents of cheating and lying. We
are not dealing with a few isolated bought-off FDA employees. The
situation at the FDA isn't correctable with a few firings. This is an
ongoing criminal enterprise, and any government official, serving in any
capacity, who has become aware of it and has not taken action, is an
accessory to mass poisoning of the population.
Twelve
years ago, the cat was let out of the bag. Dr. Barbara Starfield,
writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, on July 26,
2000, in a review titled, "Is US health really the best in the world,"
exposed the fact that FDA-approved medical drugs kill 106,000 Americans
per year.
In
interviewing her, I discovered that she had never been approached by
any federal agency to help remedy this tragedy. Nor had the federal
government taken any steps on its own to stop the dying.
Should
we tread daintily when we know the federal agency responsible for drug
safety is allowing 100,000 people to die every year? This is murder.
It's not really negligent homicide, not when it keeps happening. It's
murder. It's on the order of a Nazi war crime.
Try
this image: you are a gatekeeper. Your job, on the first day of every
year, is to unlock the gate and leave it open, so people can pass
through. But you know that, when you open the gate, 100,000 people who
pass through will die in the following year. Yet, every January 1, you
keep opening the gate.
That's what the FDA is. That particular gatekeeper.
See
the image of the paper's "No Jab No Play" campaign on the right. This
is the actual image taken from the paper's editorial page where they are
pushing this idea of socially condemning all children whose parents do
not submit to state-sponsored medical terrorism.
This
no doubt pleases the Telegraph in the same way that destroying the
planet Alderaan might please the Grand Moff Tarkin from the Star Wars
universe. What's a few billion lives lost compared to the raw power of
total control over the lives of other humans, after all?
