The government knows its a medical killing machineJon Rappoport Smoking gun #1: As I detailed in my two previous articles (click here and here), Dr. Barbara Starfields article in the July 26, 2000, Journal of the American Medical Association, Is US Health Really the Best in the World?, spelled out the damage: The US medical system kills 225,000 Americans per year. Thats well over two MILLION deaths per decade. The US government supports, in numerous ways, this system. And now, through the implementation of Obamacare, many more previously uninsured Americans will enter the killing fields. Dr. Starfields data are not classified. Theyre not a state secret. Any doctor or medical bureaucrat has access to them. Yet nothing of note is being done to remedy the ongoing crime. Smoking gun #2: Starfields report indicated that, every year in the US, 106,000 Americans die as a result of FDA-approved medical drugs. The FDA is the only agency tasked with certifying these drugs as safe and effective. With such certification, the drugs enter the public pipeline. On the FDAs own website, under the heading, Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions, appears the following text: Over 2 MILLION ADRs [Adverse Drug Reactions] yearly; 100,000 DEATHS yearly; ADRs 4th leading cause of death Astonishingly, the FDA takes no responsibility for any of this. They, and only they, can approve the drugs as safe and effective. They list the numbers of deaths and maimings, and they never admit culpability. For years, there were reports of payoffs and pressure, at the FDA, to grant approval to drugs that were, in fact, harmful and dangerous. Then, in 2009 and again in July 2012, a scandal erupted. As Truthout reported, it focused on an institutionalized FDA spying program on its own scientists, law makers, reporters and academics that included an enemies list At the heart of the scandal: FDA pressure on its own people to approve medical devices that were dangerous. Truthout took a further step. It interviewed Ronald Cavanagh, a former drug reviewer for the FDA. (July 29, 2012, Former FDA Reviewer Speaks Out About Intimidation and Marginalizing of Safety) In a stunning interview with Truthouts Martha Rosenberg, Cavanagh, exposed the FDA as a relentless criminal mafia protecting its client, Big Pharma, with a host of mob strategies. Cavanagh: widespread racketeering, including witness tampering and witness retaliation. I was threatened with prison. One [FDA] manager threatened my childrenI 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. Thats why he was under the gun. Honest appraisal wasnt part of the FDA culture, and Cavanagh swam against the tide, until he realized his life and the life of his children might be on the line. What was his secret and unofficial task at the FDA supposed to be? 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. Cavanaghs 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. Cavanagh remarks that the drug pyridostigmine, given to US troops to prevent the later effects of nerve gas, actually increased the lethality of certain nerve agents. Cavanagh recalls being given records of safety data on a drug that was up for approvaland 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. The FDA 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. Smoking gun #4: Before the FDA considers approving a new drug, studies and clinical trials have to be done. The drug companies do those clinical trials and submit the results to the FDA. Obviously, the results look good; otherwise the FDA wouldnt be able to certify the drugs as safe and effective. This raises the specter of research fraudbecause, since the drugs kill 106,000 Americans every year, how can published studies praising these drugs be authentic and credible? On January 15, 2009, the NY Review of Books published a devastating quote from a woman who, for 20 years, edited the most prestigious medical journal in the world: (Marcia Angell, MD, Drug Companies and Doctors: A story of Corruption. NY Review of Books, Jan. 15, 2009.) Here is another quote of a similar nature, also published in the NY Review of Books (May 12, 2001, Helen Epstein, Flu Warning: Beware of Drug Companies): Heres another quote from the same And finally, here is yet another statement from Marcia Angell, former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine: It turns out that the informational pipeline that feeds the entire perception of pharmaceutical medicine is a rank fraud. Could any major newspaper add up these quotes and launch an all-out attack on the massive crimes surrounding medical studies? Of course. And that attack, if carried out long enough, would shake the pillars of the Church of Modern Medicine. But it doesnt happen. Neither do we see extensive Congressional hearings on the horrendous effects of the US medical system. The Dept. of Justice does nothing, when they should be making mass arrests and laying on criminal prosecutions. They know the scope of the medical killings and maimings. They choose to do nothing. And now, into the maw of this dragon of death, will step millions of previously uninsured Americans, glad recipients of Obamacare.
