PART ONE: Chapter 1: At The Finish Line

2007-06-12T23:45:00.002-07:00

HG Wells

"Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe." -H.G. Wells (1866-1946), Historian and science fiction writer, "The Fate of Homo Sapiens," p. 105, 1920

When researching the vast ocean of books, magazine articles and internet sites currently devoted to the history of "big chemical," a dramatic fact becomes quickly apparent. There are two main characters. One German, the other American. Other characters might make a guest appearance or serve in a supporting role, but two companies - or, more accurately, cartels - seem to be running the show and calling the shots.

History reveals that these cartels dominate, not only the world of synthetic medicines & bio-pharmaceuticals, chemical pesticides, fertilizers & fuels, and chemical & biological weapons, but also banking, media & geopolitics. I am, of course, talking about the German-Swiss synthetic chemical, fuel and drug cartel once known as I.G. Farben, and the American oil, chemical and drug interests surrounding the Rockefellers.

Chapter 2: How It All Began

2007-06-12T23:45:00.001-07:00

Thomas Jefferson

"Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains." -Thomas Jefferson to Horatio Gates Spafford, 17 Mar. 1817, cited in Papers 14:221 (1)

Andrew Jackson

"Unless you become more watchful in your States and check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that the most important powers of Government have been given or bartered away, and the control of your dearest interests have been passed into the hands of these corporations." -President Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address, March 4, 1837 (2)

Abraham Lincoln

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . .corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." -U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864, from a letter to Col. William F. Elkins (3)

"Old Bill" Rockefeller

In 1850, an upstate New York farmer named "Old Bill" Rockefeller moved to Cleveland, listed himself as a "physician" in the city directory and began to palm off bottled raw petroleum on the yokels as a cure for cancer.

Calling it "Nujol" ("new oil"), it was the beginning of the Rockefeller medicine and energy monopoly - a mega-cartel that truly began when Bill's cunning and determined son John tried his hand at selling oil. (4)

W. H. Perkin

In 1856, just six years after "Old Bill" began to play doctor, an 18-year-old English chemistry student named William Henry Perkin stumbled upon a process to make purple dye from coal tar. Until then, all dyes were made from natural sources such as insects, barks, flowers, berries, animal organs and eggs.

German coal works

German chemists eventually made the connection between the mountains of coal tar left over from massive steel production in the Ruhr, and the new, cheaper way to make the costly dyes. Three companies emerged and dominated the new German dye industry - Hoechst, Bayer, and BASF. (5)

Carl Duisberg

In 1916, Bayer chemist Carl Duisberg would organize a loose association of the eight biggest German chemical companies, and formalize this association in 1925, joining with their Swiss counterparts Ciba, Geigy and Sandoz in 1929. (6)

From the beginning, the association was called the "Interessen Gemeinschaft der Deutschen Teerfarbenindustrie" - the "Community of Interest of the German Dyestuff Industry" - I.G. Farben for short.

I.G. Farben

Chapter 3: Aspirins' Twisted History

2007-06-12T23:44:00.000-07:00

Carl Duisberg

In 1884, Carl Duisberg began his career at Bayer. (7) He was General Manager at Bayer when in 1897 another prominent chemist, Arthur Eichengrun - a Jew - discovered Aspirin.

Eichengrun was prolific, with 40 patents to his name and was promoted to the head of pharmaceutical research upon his discovery. (8) Eichengrun was never given credit for discovering Aspirin. When he was promoted head of research, his assistant, German Felix Hoffmann - the man Bayer claims to this day (9) invented aspirin - was moved to the sales department.

Felix Hoffmann

As it turns out, IG Farben made the Hoffmann story up in 1933 as the Nazi's came into power. To be fair, Bayer would never forget the inventor of their best seller - "the world's favorite painkiller." They used their influence to make sure Eichengrun got sent to the best of concentration camps. (10) He even got his own room.

Richard Willstatter

Richard Willstatter, a Jewish Nobel Prize-winning chemist (1915) who had been forced to flee Germany in 1939, wrote a book while in exile in Switzerland. In it there is a short passage in which the scientist criticized Carl Duisberg for making anti-Semitic comments when Willstatter resigned from the University of Munich in 1924. (11) These anti-Semitic tendencies within I.G. Farben would become more pronounced as the company became more political.

Chapter 4: Survival Of The Richest

2007-06-12T23:43:00.000-07:00

The Trust Giant's Point of View: "What a funny little government!" -An attack on Rockefeller by Horace Taylor, The Verdict, 1899

Meanwhile, John D. Rockefeller had been busy. By 1880, Rockefeller owned or controlled 95% of all oil produced in the United States. Shortly after the turn of the century, Rockefeller became America's first billionaire. (12) It was around the turn of the century that Rockefeller began to give money to the Foundations, Funds, Research Centers and Institutes that would promote all the drugs his chemists churned out in the years to come.

Rockefeller Institute, 1920

The most richly endowed research center - the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research - was established in New York in 1902. By 1928 it had received from John D. $65 million in endowment funds. In contrast, as late as 1938, as little as $2.8 million in federal funding was budgeted for the entire U.S. Public Health Service. (13) By 1929, the Rockefeller Foundation, first created in 1909, had received $300 million. (14)

"Eugenics" or "good genes" was a science based on "social Darwinism" or "survival of the fittest" applied to humans. It was very popular with those who had most of the wealth and felt like they needed a scientific rationale for it - to validate the great poverty and suffering that also would occur. After 1900, Rockefeller, along with the Harriman family - the family that gave the Bush family it's start - began to spend millions on "eugenics" research. (15)

Some of the Rockefeller Foundation money went to a Swiss psychiatrist named Ernst Rudin. He later went on to head the German "Racial Hygiene Society," a section of the new Nazi state. (16) Rockefeller would also hire William Lyon Mackenzie King as a "Director of Industrial Research" for the Rockefeller Foundation - shortly after he began the racist war on opium-smoking Chinese in Canada. (17)

Chapter 5: Don't Want Dye? OK, How About Poison Gas?

2007-06-12T23:42:00.000-07:00

Bernard Shaw

"You will make war when it suits us and keep peace when it doesn't And in return you shall have the support of my newspapers, and the delight of imagining that you are a great statesman." -Undershaft, the armament maker, in Bernard Shaw's "Major Barbara," Act III, 1905

Carl Duisberg

It was Carl Duisberg, head of I.G., a man who "would not tolerate dissent," a man who "believed in the 'Fuhrer Principle' long before Hitler was ever heard of," it was Duesberg who urged the employment of chemical warfare in the autumn of 1914. (18) Duesberg ... "saw immediately that poison gas warfare could revive the moribund dyestuff industry, which was almost at a standstill since the beginning of the war he not only devoted Bayer to the poison gas project but also involved himself personally in the experiments." (19)

Fritz Haber

Fritz Haber (pointing)

WW1 Gas attack

On April 22, 1915, when the Germans finally tried out their new weapon - chlorine gas - it was the I.G. companies and I.G. chemists that supplied it. Five thousand died terrible deaths - another 10,000 were wounded. (20) By the end of the war, at least 91 thousand men had died of gas. Another 1.3 million had been wounded by gas.... one of them being a young soldier named Adolph Hitler (21).

Chapter 6 - Hitler - One Satisfied Customer!

2007-06-12T23:39:00.002-07:00

Adolph Hitler, 1918

"What is the pain in my eyes compared to this misery? In these nights hatred grew in me,
hatred for those responsible for this deed I, for my part, decided to go into politics." -Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf (22)

Fritz Haber

"In no future war will the military be able to ignore poison gas. It is a higher form of killing." -Professor Fritz Haber, pioneer of gas warfare - who got his start through BASF - or receiving the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1919 (23)

Mustard Gas Victim

Hitler was temporarily blinded by British mustard gas in 1918 - a gas introduced by BASF chemist Fritz Haber the year before. (24) Hitler's prolonged blindness and poisoning - just as the war ended - must have had a profound effect on his outlook and world-view. Some said the experience "helped determine him to avenge the German Defeat." (25)

Dr. Bloch, the Jewish Doctor that treated Hitler's Mother

And while we're on the topic of common harsh chemicals and their effects on young Adolph's psyche, one other episode is worth recalling. Some historians have tried to explain Hitler's pathological hatred for Jews by pointing to the painful death Hitler's mother experienced at the hands of a Jewish Doctor back in 1907 who might have used too much "Iodoform" - a powerful chemical antiseptic - to fight her breast cancer. (26)

Iodoform

With an open mind, one could blame Hitler's mother's agony on the Doctor's faith in harsh chemicals more easily than on his faith in the Old Testament. An open mind, of course, was one thing Hitler was never known for.

Chapter 7: Who Named The Nazis? -Hitler Or IG Farben?

2007-06-12T23:39:00.001-07:00

National Socialism brings: Peace, prosperity, jobs, and food.

Aside from calling for a "Fuhrer" and gassing millions, I.G. would set other examples for the Nazis to follow. In 1916, the IG chemist and plant manager Werner Daitz was to write;

"A new type of state socialism is appearing, totally different from that which any of us have dreamed or thought of. Private economic initiative and the private capitalist economy will not be crippled, but will be regimented from the points of view of state socialism in that capital will be concentrated in the national economy and will be directed outwards with uniform impetus. It breaks this up into national socialism whose election promise will be: work rather than phrases." (27)

Keep in mind, this is at least three years before Hitler added "National Socialist" to the "German Worker's Party" - where the term "Nazi" comes from. Both Hitler and I.G. were probably tripping off the same Austrian right-wing political vibe, but it seems like I.G. tripped first, doing much to import National Socialism into Germany.

To add further clarity, Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini would later explain: "Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." (28)

Corporatism

Chapter 8: A First Attempt At Labor Cost Reductions

2007-06-12T23:37:00.002-07:00

Carl Duisberg

In September 1916 - one month after consolidating I.G. - Carl Duisburg came up with yet another vision. He proposed that the war ministry "open up the Belgian labor basin." Apparently, sending all of German's best and brightest to the front lines had caused a labor shortage. Less than two months later, the German army began the forced deportation of Belgian workers to German factories. (29) IG indeed gave the Belgians "work rather than phrases" - and rather than wages and freedom, too.

The Belgian enslavement

The Belgian clergy and journalists filled the world's newspapers with the horrors of the enslavement. The US government sent their German counterparts a note about the forced labor, complaining of a "contravention of all precedents." The deported Belgians, now 40,000 strong, refused to work. Faced with worldwide condemnation, the German power structure abandoned their "free-labor" idea (30) at least until they could figure out a way to avoid worldwide condemnation.

Duisberg and fellow war-gas pioneer Fritz Haber both put on fake beards and hid in Switzerland after the war. (31) As it turns out, Duisberg's name never appeared on any list of war criminals - post-war anti-communist sentiments were strong enough to overshadow a serious look at capitalist war-crime sponsorship.

On February 3rd, 1920, less than six months after receiving his Nobel Prize for Chemistry, Fritz Haber was charged with war crimes. The actual trials, taking place the next year, were a joke. No major criminals were tried, and Haber's name was dropped from the list before testimony began. During the WW2 Nuremberg war-crimes trials, defendant Albert Speer lamented that the failure of the war crimes trials in WW1 only encouraged the criminals to try again. (32)

Chapter 9: A One-time Installment Fee

2007-06-12T23:37:00.001-07:00

Chairman of the I.G. Farben Board, Carl Duisberg - September 29, 1933

"If Germany is again to be great, all classes of our people must come to the realization that leaders are necessary who can act without concern for the caprices of the masses." -Carl Duisberg, 1925, speech to the central organization of German industry - the Reichsverband (33)

And try again they did. To be fair, it was mainly steel companies (34), middle class German patriots and the American pro-Nazi Prescott Bush bank - the "Brown Brothers Harriman" bank - (35) who kept the Nazi's equipped with snazzy uniforms and torches.until the depression hit in 1929. Fearing a communist election victory, more and more of Germany's industrialists began to support Hitler. By 1931, IG Farben was doing so too, although not publicly. (36)

Duisberg (center) with the presidim of the industrial Reichsverband, standing in front of IG headquarters, 1929.

Right-wing historians have tried to downplay I.G.'s "several secret contributions to the Nazi war chest" in 1931 and 1932, (37) and up-play I.G.'s resistance (until 1932) to Hitler's anti-Semitism. (38) Yet this was the depression - a time when everyone was starving and desperate for any job. No specific amount was mentioned, but I.G. was by far the largest corporation in Europe, and any donation was no doubt vital to electoral victory.

Robert Ley

Adolf Hitler & Robert Ley

I.G. also "dismissed" their most anti-Semitic chemist - Dr. Robert Ley - way back in 1927. However, I.G. paid him a monthly stipend so he "wouldn't defect to a competitor." (39) With that money he founded a Nazi paper in the Rhineland, became an example of Jewish persecution and a martyr, and became a top Nazi. He would later attempt to convince Hitler to use nerve gas at the end of the war. (40) Dr. Ley committed suicide in his cell at Nuremberg before the trial began.

In early 1933, right before the Nazi's last election, four IG representatives showed up at a meeting of German Industrialists and Nazi economic advisors. According to the November 23, 1945 transcripts from Nuremberg war-crimes trial, Hitler and Goering were hitting up the industrialists for election money. Hitler was to have said;

"Now we stand before the last election. Regardless of the outcome there will be no retreat, even if the coming election does not bring about a decision."

Goering then added; "the sacrifices asked for surely would be so much easier for industry to bear if it realized that the election of March 5th will surely be the last one for the next 10 years, probably even for the next 100 years." The Nazi's asked for 3 million marks. They got it, and IG contributed more than ten percent - the largest single contribution. (41)

Chapter 10: Nazis Experiment With Their Own Drug War

2007-06-12T23:36:00.001-07:00

Heinrich Himmler and other Nazi dignitaries in Dachau with Anton Mussert, the leader of the Dutch Nazi movement.

"Germany needs the strength of every single man for the development of its national and economic freedom. Therefore, no German has the right to impair his strength through alcohol abuse. Such action is detrimental not only to himself, but to his family, and above all, to his people." - Heinrich Himmler, 1938. (42)

"Rauschgiftbekaempfung" meant literally "the combatting of drugs." It was a policy coordinated by the Reich Health Service within the Ministry of the Interior. It was part of the same bureaucratic labyrinth that included the departments of hereditary science and racial hygiene, and much of its policy-making was conducted by Nazi physicians. An unholy alliance of Nazi eugenics and American prohibition, Rauschgiftbekaempfung unsuccessfully attempted to undo centuries of traditional social behavior. (43)

As in America, industrial hemp was being grown in Germany for the war effort. Similar to New York Mayor LaGuardia's 1944 investigation into the effects of cannabis, the Nazi's allowed cannabis research to continue through the 1930's. (44) When the war began, Germany's research ended.

Addicts of morphine and cocaine were locked up starting in 1941 by the "Reich Bureau for the Struggle against Addictive Drugs," a project under the direction of Reich Health Fuhrer Dr. Leonardo Conti. (45) Dr. Conti also conducted medical experiments on those he locked up. He was responsible for the killing of a large number of Germans of "unsound mind." (46)

Dr. Leonardo Conti

Dr. Conti also involved himself with malaria experiments at Dachau. The experiment involved 1,200 prisoners, most of them Catholic priests, and cost the lives of 300 to 400 persons. Of them no more than 30 died of the disease itself; the majority died from over doses of the medicines that were being tried out on them. (47) Dr. Conti committed suicide at Nuremberg in October 1945 after arrest to avoid a trial. (48)

Major General Kurt Blome

Assisting Dr. Conti was Major General Kurt Blome. (49) Dr. Blome later worked at Camp Detrick with Rockefeller's pal George Merck. (50)

The co-operation continued with the plunder of Europe's chemical industries. As the Nazi's invaded each country, I.G. would take control of the chemical companies. (51)

Official I.G. Farben Monthly, August 1940:

I.G. Farben managers analyse a map of Europe, pointing at England. Similar to the Wehrmacht's military generals, these I.G. Farben "corporate generals" plan the conquest of entire industries in the occupied countries. - Note the analogy to today -

Official I.G. Farben Monthly, April 1941: I.G. Farben managers analyse a map of Europe, pointing at South-Eastern Europe with the oil fields around the Black Sea as their target. - Note the analogy to today -

I.G. Farben monthly, June/July 1943: I.G. Farben is the largest corporate benefactor of the German Wehrmacht's military conquests of the Second World War. The title page visually supports the scenario of a total war .

If these "hostile takeovers" were good for business, slavery was even better. Instead of "work rather than phrases," many of the camps had "work will set you free" on their gates.

It was the greatest false-advertising campaign in human history - unless you define "free" as "dead from exhaustion."

As the war dragged on, I.G. created it's own private camp called Monowitz - also known as Auschwitz III. Monowitz was located right outside the largest synthetic oil and rubber factory in the world, the largest industrial complex outside the borders of the German Reich, and I.G.'s largest factory: I.G. Auschwitz. I.G. Farben owned 100% of I.G. Auschwitz.

The sight had been chosen by I.G. for the abundant water and coal in the area, not to mention all the free slave labor from Auschwitz I and II. (52 )

Chapter 12: Our Investors Would Expect No Less

2007-06-12T23:33:00.001-07:00

Conditions at Monowitz and I.G. Auschwitz were a living nightmare. They were exploited, as one Nazi bigwig put it, "to the highest possible extent at the lowest possible expenditure." (53) Truth be told, it was even worse than that. You could get a lot of work out of a slave over the course of the slave's long life - America did it with black "slaves" before and black "criminals" today. But the "slaves" at I.G. Auschwitz were quickly worked to death. It was not slave labor, it was death labor.

Slave Labor at the Gate of Auschwitz Concentration Camp

Group of women prisoners march to forced labor. (1943 - 1944)

The diet was designed to kill you from exhaustion in three months - less if you were weak or sick. A Buna plant worker and Auschwitz escapee vividly described the work conditions:

"(our working place) was divided into small sectors of 10 x 10 posts, each guarded by an SS man. Whoever stepped outside these squares during working hours was immediately shot without warning for having "attempted to escape." Often it happened that out of pure spite an SS man would order a prisoner to fetch some given object outside his square. If he followed the order, he was shot for having left his assigned place. The work was extremely hard and there were no rest periods. The way to and from work had to be covered at a brisk military trot; anyone falling out of line was shot. ... Very few could bare the strain and although escape seemed hopeless, attempts were made every day. The result was several hangings a week." (54)

Fritz ter Meer

Fritz ter Meer - one of the top overseers of I.G. Auschwitz and the highest-ranking member to do time for war crimes - said at his trial:

"Forced labor did not inflict any remarkable injury, pain, or suffering on the detainees, particularly since the alternative for these workers would have been death." (55)

Fritz didn't bother to mention the fact that I.G.'s campaign contributions, the anti-Semitic and authoritarian examples they set and prototype concentration camps they conceived in WWI were the main factors in limiting their present "detainees" options so dramatically.

Chapter 13: Making A Killing Off Gas Sales

2007-06-12T23:32:00.001-07:00

Zyklon B - "Cyclone B" in German - was the name of the gas that the Nazi's used to kill off scapegoats not lucky enough to be selected for death labor. Zyklon B was sold by Degesch, a company owned (mostly) by I.G. Farben. Degesch profits "doubled" as a result of its Zyklon B sales - they even saved money removing the now-superfluous "warning odor." (56) Various I.G. gasses were tested on Auschwitz prisoners. (57) Various I.G. pharmaceuticals were, too. (58)

Most died from the experiments themselves - others were eliminated due to concerns of a proprietary nature. One of the SS doctors at Auschwitz, Dr. Helmut Vetter, a longtime Bayer employee, was involved in the testing of Bayer experimental vaccines and medicines on inmates. He was later executed for giving inmates fatal injections. (59)

Woman at Auschwitz

Bayer would constantly send "new preparations" to try out on prisoners, and argue over the cost of Ukrainian women as if they were lab mice. (60) This was not the beginning - and unfortunately not the end - of Bayer's very profitable bio-weapons department ... more on that below.

One final note on gas. According to author William Cooper;

In the early 1940s, the I.G. Farben Chemical Company employed a Polish salesman who sold cyanide to the Nazis for use in Auschwitz. The same salesman also worked as a chemist in the manufacture of the poison gas. This same cyanide gas along with Zyklon B and malathion was used to exterminate millions of Jews and other groups. ... After the war the salesman, fearing for his life, joined the Catholic Church and was ordained a priest in 1946. ... The salesman was ordained Poland's youngest bishop in 1958. After a 30-day reign his predecessor was assassinated and our ex-cyanide gas salesman assumed the papacy as Pope John Paul II. (61)

Pope John Paul II in '38

This information is repeated by various other sources. Solvay is mentioned in the Pope's biography on the Vatican's own website. (62)

Chapter 14: Employee of the Month: Dr. Mengele

2007-06-12T23:30:00.001-07:00

Dr. Joseph Mengele

In a number of documents only recently discovered exists a letter in which Bayer Sales Director Wilhelm Mann praised famous Nazi Dr. Joseph Mengele's experiments and promised to discuss financing from the company. "I have enclosed the first check," Mann wrote. "Dr. Mengeles experiments should, as we both agreed, be pursued. Heil Hitler!" Mengele wrote this to his bosses at Bayer headquarters;

"I have thrown myself into my work wholeheartedly, especially as I have the opportunity to test our new preparations. I feel like I am in paradise." (63)

The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, 1912

Mengele's other employer during the war? The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (KWI), controlled by the Rockefellers. (64) At Auschwitz and the KWI, Mengele oversaw thousands of deaths - sometimes all in one day. His numerous horrific experiments with dwarfs and twins other victims of "experiments" and "murder" are well documented. I shall quote from a particularly vivid passage;

One of the few existing documents that cover Mengele's time at Auschwitz is a paper he signed to accompany the head of a twelve-year-old Gypsy boy. On several occasions the head of a patient with noma (gangrenous face infection) was removed and sent to the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. (65)

Mengele wasn't the only Nazi doctor to participate in genocide - there were thousands. But Mengele was the most famous. Something to think about, the next time you reach for that Bayer Aspirin.

I. G. Farben Industries Trial - 1947
Nuernberg, Germany original photograph - one of 13
Farben at Nuremberg

IG Farben's poison gas expert Otto Ambros - eight years (out in four or less) for slavery and mass murder.

In 1948, a small minority of the IG Farben directors - all of the eye-witnesses - were found guilty in at Nuremberg of mass murder, enslavement and plunder, including Fritz ter Meer. Because of pressure from right wing legislators in the US (who felt the real enemy was "communism - not German businessmen") they were all out of jail within four years. (66)

Despite introducing gas warfare, forced labor, National Socialism and the "Fuhrer Principle," despite encouraging anti-Semitism, despite being the Nazi's biggest financial backers, they were all acquitted of "preparation and waging of aggressive warfare" and "conspiracy" - the court ruled that there was not enough evidence of "knowledge of the immediate result" of their own actions. (67)

Had they all been found guilty, war profiteering might have ended - or at least become more difficult. As in WW1, the war trials were a sham.

Chapter 16: Rockefeller-Farben Ties

2007-06-12T23:28:00.000-07:00

By 1941 Standard Oil of New Jersey was the largest oil company in the world, controlling 84 percent of the U.S. petroleum market. Its bank was Chase and its owners were the Rockefellers. After the Rockefellers, the next largest stockholder in Standard Oil was I.G. Farben. (68) The Rockefeller - Farben relationship went back as far as 1927. (69)

The planes that made up the Luftwaffe needed tetraethyl lead gasoline in order to fly. Before World War II, only Standard Oil, Du Pont, and General Motors had the ability to produce this vital substance. In 1938, Walter C. Teagle, then president of Standard Oil, helped Hermann Schmitz of I.G. Farben to acquire 500 tons of tetraethyl lead from Ethyl, a British Standard subsidiary. A year later, Schmitz returned to London and obtained an additional 15 million dollars worth of tetraethyl lead which was to be turned into aviation gasoline back in Germany.

Exxon's early tetraethyl lead work

After the war began in Europe, the English became angry about U.S. shipments of strategic materials to Nazi Germany. Standard Oil immediately changed the registration of their entire fleet to Panamanian to avoid British search or seizure. These ships continued to carry oil to Tenerife in the Canary Islands, where they refueled and siphoned oil to German tankers for shipment to Hamburg. (70)

Soon-to-be-president Harry S. Truman said the Rockefeller-Farben relationship "approaches treason." (71) "Approaches"? It seems to be sitting on treason's lap to me.

Frankfurt 1945

IG headquarters

At war's end, when the American doughboys sloughed into Germany and reached the industrial city of Frankfurt, they were amazed to find intact all of I.G.'s buildings and their huge plant. American aviators, pinpointing their targets, had demolished every other structure in town.

Robert P. Patterson

What the doughboys didn't know as that the Secretary of War, one Robert P. Patterson, was a Rockefeller lawyer, appointed by President Roosevelt upon Rockefeller orders, fresh out of Dillon, Read and Company. The Dillon-Read concern was a Rockefeller subsidiary - and the banking house that financed I.G. Farben. (72)

CBS News war correspondent Paul Manning reported that on August 10, 1944, the Rockefeller-Farben partners moved their "flight capital" through affiliated American, German/French, British and Swiss banks. Bayer and Hoechst were reorganized in 1951 under the direction of the Allied High Commission, largely influenced by U.S. High Commissioner John J. McCloy - a lawyer and banker from Philadelphia, with intimate ties to Rockefeller banking and oil interests. (73)

Chapter 17: Rockefellers Medical Monopoly

2007-06-12T23:27:00.000-07:00

General Education Board, 1915

"Since 1910, the Rockefeller General Education Board and other Foundations have showered millions of dollars on allopathic educational institutions, with the General Education Board alone contributing about $600,000,000." -Barbara Griggs, "Green Pharmacy" (74)

Don Redman

"Well I'm well aquatinted with the reefer man. Yeah, Jim I know the reefer man. If I claim my own portion of the Rockefeller fortune, then you know I just left that reefer man." -Don Redman and his orchestra, "Reefer Man," circa 1933 (75)

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power." -President Franklin D. Roosevelt (76)

The word "allopathy" means "treating disease with lots of harsh chemicals." The word "homeopathy" means "treating disease with small amounts of not-nearly-as-harsh herbs." (77) The Flexner Report of 1910 finally eliminated the "homeopathic" medical schools - all natural medicines, actually - within the United States. The report was financed and promoted by the Carnegie Foundation and Rockefeller's General Education Board. (78) The report helped reduce the number of medical colleges from 131 to 76 by 1930. (79)

Abraham Flexner

Flexner complained that any "crude boy or jaded clerk" could seek medical training. "The country needs fewer and better doctors," Flexner argued, "and the way to get the better is to produce fewer." Flexnerism ensured the closure of most of the woman-friendly medical colleges and 6 of 8 black medical colleges. (80) The 1977 "Declaration of Alma Ata" internationalized the "recommendations" in the Flexner report through the World Health Organization. (81)

With the homeopathic schools all but destroyed, the pharmaceutical companies expected no resistance passing the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act. According to the House of Representatives transcripts, the AMA - represented by the articulate Dr. William C. Woodward - actually testified against the bill. He didn't object to a doctor's monopoly, of course, just the outright ban pretending to be a tax. Congressman Vinson lied about Dr. Woodward's testimony and the act passed with little debate. (82)

What did President Roosevelt think about cannabis criminalization? Probably what he was instructed to think ... he was financed by Rockefeller money from his first day in politics. (83)

Chapter 18: Rockefeller Mellon Morgan Du Pont And Farben

2007-06-12T23:26:00.000-07:00

The DuPont Chemical company and banker Andrew Mellon should be familiar to all cannabis history buffs - they (along with W.R. Hearst) engineered the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. (84) Mellon was head of the Treasury at the time (he was in charge of the creation of the Tax Stamp). Mellon also was DuPont's chief financial backer. Mellon is connected to Rockefeller through their mutual interest in Gulf oil. (85)

J.P. Morgan

Morgan, Mellon & Rockefeller, 1922

Mellon, Rockefeller, and Rockefeller's main banker J. P. Morgan dominated the New York economic hierarchy and were known to have been close long before Mellon introduced the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. (86) Rockefeller and Morgan have sat on the elite "Committee of the 300" social club with Mellon and DuPont. (87) This close relationship between Rockefeller and Mellon has continued - Rockefeller's Chevron bought Mellon's Gulf in 1984. (88)

Back in 1937, Farben owned some of DuPont (89). Farben also owned some of the Alluminum Company of America (90) - now known as Alcoa - a company primarily owned by Mellon. (91) The Mellons, Morgans and DuPonts have been a close-knit financial axis for generations. In 1936, they attempted to finance a coup d'etat in America. The plot was foiled by retired Marine Corps commandant Smedley Butler whom they had approached as a potential front man, offering to make him the "American Mussolini." He snitched them out to F.D.R. Though congressional hearings were held, nobody hung, and some of the testimony was suppressed for years. (92)

n 1943, antitrust activists indicted I.G. Farben and Du Pont for "having engaged in a world-wide cartel conspiracy" to restrain the production and distribution of titanium, an important war material. (93)

Another DuPont, circa 1937

Hearst Newspapers

A series of secret meetings were held. In 1931, Mellon, in his role as Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury, appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to be head of the newly reorganized Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (FBNDD), a post he held for the next 31 years. These industrial barons and financiers knew that machinery to cut, bale, decorticate (to separate the fiber from the high-cellulose hurd), and process hemp into paper or plastics was becoming available in the mid-1930s. Cannabis hemp would have to go. In DuPont's 1937 Annual Report to its stockholders, the company strongly urged continued investment in its new, but not readily accepted, petrochemical synthetic products. DuPont was anticipating "radical changes" from "the revenue raising power of government ? converted into an instrument for forcing acceptance of sudden new ideas of industrial and social reorganization."

In The Marijuana Conviction (University of Virginia Press, 1974), Richard Bonnie and Charles Whitebread II detailed this process:
"By the fall of 1936, Herman Oliphant (general counsel to the Treasury Department) had decided to employ the taxing power [of the federal government], but in a statue modeled after the National Firearms Act and wholly unrelated to the 1914 Harrison [narcotics] Act. Oliphant himself was in charge of preparing the bill. Anslinger directed his army to turn its campaign toward Washington.
"The key departure of the marijuana tax scheme from that of the Harrison Act is the notion of the prohibitive tax. Under the Harrison Act, a non-medical user could not legitimately buy or possess narcotics.
"To the dissenters in the Supreme Court decisions upholding the act, this clearly demonstrated that Congress' motive was to prohibit conduct rather than raise revenue. So in the National Firearms Act, designed to prohibit traffic in machine guns, Congress "permitted" anyone to buy a machine gun, but required him to pay a $200 transfer tax* and carry out the purchase on an order form.
* The $200 for the transfer tax is about $5,000 in 1998 dollars.
"The Firearms Act, passed in June 1934, was the first act to hide Congress' motives behind a 'prohibitive' tax. The Supreme Court unanimously upheld the anti-machine gun law on March 29, 1937. Oliphant had undoubtedly been awaiting the Court's decision, and the Treasury Department introduced its marihuana tax bill two weeks later, April 14, 1937." Thus, DuPont's decision to invest in new technologies based on "forcing acceptance of sudden new ideas of industrial and social reorganization" makes sense. It's interesting to note that on April 29, 1937, two weeks after the Marihuana Tax Act was introduced DuPont's foremost scientist, Wallace Hume Carothers, the inventor of NYLON for DuPont, the world's number-one organic chemist, committed suicide by drinking cyanide. Carothers was dead at age 41.?

Chapter 19: IG Farbens Next Racket-Vitamin Over-regulation

2007-06-12T23:25:00.000-07:00

"In 1942, the deaths of six million Jews were sealed with the decisions made at the Wannsee Conference. If the pharmaceutical cartel succeeds with its cruel schemes today, the upcoming June Codex Alimentarius conference will foreordain the death of millions. However, there is an important difference: Today the predicted number of victims is 100 times greater than those killed in World War Two." -Rath, Matthias M.D. (94)

Fritz ter Meer

From 1956-1964, Fritz ter Meer was reinstated as a member of the Managing Board of Bayer AG. Just fifteen years after he and his business partners were convicted at Nuremberg of mass murder and plunder, they were at it again. In 1962, Hoechst, Bayer and BASF established the Codex Alimentarius Commission. (95) One of the main architects of Codex was Fritz ter Meer.

The title "Codex Alimentarius" - Latin for "food code" - is as misleading as "Arbeit mach frei." Codex isn't just a list of herbs and some organic certification standards. The recently published proposed draft guidelines for vitamin and mineral supplements of the Codex Alimentarius Commission stipulate that the "maximum level of each nutrient contained in a vitamin and mineral supplement should not exceed 100% of the recommended daily intake." (96)

Putting it in plain terms, CODEX uses scientific sounding language and alphabetic gibberish to argue for dosage limits, despite the fact that supplements have a better safety record than food. In Germany today, folks can't even look at a vitamin bottle without permission from a pharmacist! (97)

The full implications of this amount of "Big Brother" health regs are not obvious. It works out to only 65 mg of "legal" vitamin C per day - an absurd limit! Other proposals would make "any product" that has ever been rumored to be used to heal into a "registered drug" requiring a prescription! (98)

There has been some resistance to this. The delegate from Great Britain from the Codex meeting of October 1998 recommended "not setting any upper limit for vitamins and minerals" as "some patients will have an increased requirement in nutrients due to the illness." (99)

Something tells me the warnings will fall on deaf ears, like the AMA's warnings about the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. The word is that Norway, Denmark, Egypt and Singapore are all backing the Farben-proposed guidelines. The good news is that the Canadian delegation, supported by that of the USA, vehemently opposed further work on these guidelines in the 1998 session (a dissent that made it into the press and the final report). The new bad news? CODEX " Phytosanitary" standards have been inserted into the new FTAA Draft Agreement. "Raw hemp" is to be regulated under a similar overbearing section. (100)

It is worth noting that Pfizer, Aventis, Pharmacia, Bayer, BASF, (radioactive phosphate fertilizer producing) Cargill, Hoffman La Roche, Warner Lambert, have been mentioned as being a part of today's efforts to secure regulations on vitamins. (101) Most of these companies have ties to the Rockefeller-Farben cartel. The connections are outlined below.

Reishi Mushroom -Ganoderma lucidum

"In China and other parts of Asia, G. lucidum is used for many aging -related diseases, such as coronary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, hypertension, and cancer (Shen& Zhang, 1987), and also as a diuretic, laxative , sedative, and tonic (Liu and Bau, 1980). In China, numerous preparations are made for daily use to promote health, inducing sound sleep and increasing resistance to infections and heart disease, and are also recommended for a wide range of ailments such as neurasthenia, chronic bronchitis, and coronary heart disease (Yand & Jong, 1989). The Japanese government has officially listed Reishi as an adjunct herb for cancer (Willard,1990). Preliminary clinical reports and practitioner experience seems to indicate that its immunostimulating polysaccharides may make it useful for people who are HIV positive, as well as for those who have Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), an infectious virus that causes mononucleosis (Dharmandanda,1988). " from "Herbal Healing for Women" , Rosemary Gladstar, Fireside Press, 1993

In Hawaii, the use of kava has come back in the past 10 years although it has been popular for thousands of years by a wide range of South Pacific cultures for spiritual, medicinal, and recreational purposes. The drinking of kava "juice" has been always surrounded with ritual whether it is used for life passages such as weddings and funerals, or just for relaxation. In these cultures, kava has been popular with fisherman, and farmers because its active ingredients, kavalactones, concentrated in its roots relax muscles, but stimulate the central nervous system enough to evoke peace, conversation, friendship and camaraderie. Most Kava users report a state of relaxation and mild euphoria without feeling drugged, along with decreased muscle tension and greater clarity of thought. Pacific Islanders say the awareness invoked by the herb "brings one into communion with the gods and ancestors." Therefore, in these cultures bringing a gift of kava to someone's home is a symbol of peace and communion.

PART TWO - Chapter 20: The More Things Change

2007-06-12T23:24:00.000-07:00

Justice Brandeis

"I think we are in a position, after the experience of the last 20 years, to state two things: in the first place, that a corporation may well be too large to be the most efficient instrument of production and of distribution, and, in the second place, whether it has exceeded the point of greatest economic efficiency or not, it may be too large to be tolerated among the people who desire to be free." -Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, testimony before the Committee on Interstate Commerce, 1911. (102)

President Wilson

"The masters of the government of the United States are the combined capitalists and manufacturers of the United States." -President Woodrow Wilson, address, New York City, 9 September, 1912. (103)

Teddy Roosevelt

"Behind the visible government there is an invisible government upon the throne that owes the people no loyalty and recognizes no responsibility. To destroy this invisible government, to undo the ungodly union between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the task of a statesman." -Teddy Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, during his 1912 election campaign (104)

"With terror, tyranny came to power, and with terror, it holds onto its power. The sciences have been subordinated to authoritarian rule. Biology has been falsified, in order to externalize the privileges of the propertied classes." -Manifesto, Second International Congress of Socialist Physicians in Brno, Czechoslovakia, 1934 (105)

Justice Douglas

"Power that controls the economy should be in the hands of elected representatives of the people, not in the hands of an industrial oligarchy." -Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas ruling against the United States Steel Corporation in 1948 (106)

President Eisenhower

"In the councils of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes."-U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Farewell address to the Nation, Jan. 17, 1961, Washington, D.C. (107)

Since these large chemical companies made such a killing in WWI and basically orchestrated WW2, it is a safe bet they have something to do with the current WW3. Our review of these connections begins with Rockefeller and West Nile Virus.

Chapter 21: Rockefeller And Farbens Anti-West Nile Virus Mosquito Sprays

2007-06-12T23:22:00.002-07:00

West Nile Virus

By now, everyone has heard of "West Nile Virus" - that biological weapon of mass destruction that the USA sold Iraq in 1985. (108) The virus that keeps appearing all over North America. (109)

The Rockefeller Institute

The Rockefeller Institute had been working on this particular virus since at least 1943. (110) Incidentally (or maybe not), it was also in 1943 that encephalitis (of which West Nile Virus is a form) was being worked on as a weapon by the US government at their Fort Detrick weapons laboratory - with "insects" used as delivery systems (111) - just like the WNV-bearing mosquitoes of today.

During the 1994 U.S. Senate Hearing investigations over Gulf War Syndrome, Dr. Joshua Lederberg was exposed for sending West Nile to Iraq. Dr. Lederberg is former President of Rockefeller University in Manhattan - home to West Nile since the 1950's (112). It was Lederberg who attempted to sell President Clinton millions of dollars worth of West Nile vaccine back in 1998 - a year before the first outbreak. (113)

David Rockefeller & Joshua Lederberg

American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) - where Joshua Lederberg was president - this is where Iraq got it's West Nile virus

Way easier to sell the vaccine these "post-outbreak" days. Dr. Lederberg is also on Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations, facilitating the bio-weapons study group. (114)

Dr. Monath

Dr. Thomas Monath - another expert on West Nile - once worked at Fort Detrick. He now works at Acambis - maker of the West Nile vaccine and owned by the Hoechst (Farben)/Rhone-Poulenc life-science department "Aventis" (115) and the American Home Products (Farben) subsidiary known as "Baxter" (116). The other maker of West Nile Vaccine is the American drug company Merck - another Rockefeller interest. (117)

Dr. Monath told the Center for Disease Control and New York City mayor Ralph Guilliani to spray the West Nile Virus-carrying mosquitoes. Of course the recommended spray happened to be "Malathion" - produced by American Cyanamid, owned by I.G.'s American Home Products. (118)

In Canada, the city of Winnipeg, officials decided to spay for West Nile Virus mosquitoes - against the protests of many of the inhabitance. (119)

Due to reports of "highly-toxic" and carcinogenic ingredients, "immune-suppressing," "flu-like," even "respiratory arrest" effects on humans in the "spray-zone" (120), New York health officials stopped using Malathion. Instead they used "Anvil" - an equally toxic and carcinogenic biocide spray produced by Chevron - another Rockefeller company. (121) American Cyanamid has since sold it's agricultural science department - including the Malathion patents - to none other than Farben's BASF. (122)

Chapter 22: Rockefellers Anthrax

2007-06-12T23:22:00.001-07:00

Former Rockefeller University president Dr. Joshua Lederberg not only gave Iraq West Nile Virus, but "anthrax Bacillus" too! The American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) - under his watch - sent nineteen shipments of various strains of anthrax, suitable for weapons production, to Saddam Hussein in the years leading up to Desert Storm. (123)

Anthrax

ATCC

The weapons-grade anthrax used in the October 2001 attacks had an "extraordinarily high concentration of deadly spores" - "higher than any stock publicly known to be produced by other governments." "Someone with ties to the old program may be behind the attacks" speculated one writer in the New York Times. (124)

Bayer's lab in Berkeley, Cal.

In the early 1960s, Rockefeller-linked Merck manufactured anthrax vaccine, but then lost interest. (125) In 1992, it was reported that Bayer's Miles-Cutter bio-war lab in Berkeley, California - aside from the "class 3" plague - was manufacturing "class 2" viruses. Examples of "class 2" viruses are polio, rabies, Epstein Barr, Legionnaire's disease and "Bacillus anthracis" or anthrax. (126)

In October 1998, Bioport Corp. landed an exclusive $29 million contract with the Department of Defense to "manufacture, test, bottle and store the anthrax vaccine." BioPort's principal investor was Saudi businessman Fuad El-Hibri - a close friend of the bin Laden family, and a previous merger and acquisitions manager for the Rockefeller-linked Citigroup in New York.

In 1972, he led the team that first discovered the rodent reservoir of Lassa virus and, inn 1973, he began work with the CDC's programs on arbovirus infections and bubonic plague. Monath was appointed Chief of the Virology Division of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases in 1989. There he directed research programs on vaccine development and antiviral drugs against high-hazard hemorrhagic fever viruses including Hantaan, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever and Lassa fever. He has served on numerous national and international public health committees working to stop the spread and lower the death rate of arboviruses and tropical diseases such as Dengue fever.

Pentagon struggling to overcome troops' fear of vaccine
Web posted March 20, 1999 - Pentagons official Anthrax website

By Robert Burns
Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- Faced with a small but vocal resistance, the Pentagon is struggling to overcome what officials call an Internet-driven proliferation of myths and misinformation about the health risks of getting inoculated against the deadly biological agent anthrax.

At the heart of the problem: doubts among some troops that the Defense Department is telling all it knows about a vaccine that Defense Secretary William Cohen has ordered for all 2.4 million people in uniform.

Those doubts, whether reasonable or not, are spreading on Internet chat lines. ``Risking your health for something unproven,'' one man wrote this week on a newspaper-sponsored chat line, ``is almost as dumb as trusting anything the military has to say.'' Others wrote of being used as ``guinea pigs.''

Pentagon officials are fighting back with their own form of Internet ammunition, starting with a Web site titled ``Countering the Anthrax Threat,'' featuring a photograph of Cohen with his shirt sleeve rolled up, a smile on his face and an American flag in the background, receiving his vaccine shot.

The Pentagon's Web page also features a ``Fact vs. Myth'' section aimed at dispelling what officials consider misconceptions about the necessity of inoculating the troops and the health risks they face. The first fact: ``Mortality levels from a biological attack could exceed that of a nuclear explosion.''

Anthrax has never been used in combat, but the Pentagon fears Iraq, North Korea and other countries -- or terrorist groups -- might try. Anthrax is a naturally occurring bacteria found in domesticated animals; it can be produced as dry spores that, when inhaled, cause death within a few days.

Another myth, according to the Pentagon: ``The anthrax vaccine may cause sterility. Fact: The vaccination has been routinely used for the past 28 years and has not been associated with sterility. Although we cannot conduct experiments with lethal agents on the human reproductive system (for ethical reasons), there is ample evidence that it does not cause any harm or sterility.''

The myth-debunking effort has not convinced some doubters. Twenty-three sailors on the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt have refused to receive the vaccination and have been disciplined with fines, extra duty and demotions in rank. The Roosevelt is due to leave port at Norfolk, Va., on March 26 to begin a six-month deployment in the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf.

The Pentagon says it is not counting, but apparently 100 to 200 service members so far have refused the vaccination. This is a tiny fraction of the approximately 220,000 people who have received it.

The resisters reportedly include about three dozen Marines and about 50 Air Force members, in addition to the defiant sailors. Nine members of the Connecticut Air National Guard resigned rather than take the shot.

In a phased inoculation program announced by Cohen last May, all troops serving in the Persian Gulf and East Asia -- considered the highest-risk areas for anthrax attack -- must get the vaccination. Starting this summer, the shots will be given to all troops in units designated for early deployment to either the Gulf or Korea in the event of war. And beginning in about 2003, the rest of the military will get the shots.

Critics point to the Pentagon's checkered history of sharing facts on radiation exposure to troops in nuclear tests in the 1950s, illnesses attributed to the herbicide Agent Orange in the Vietnam War, and speculation about the root causes of unexplained illnesses among thousands of Gulf War veterans.

The Pentagon has been misleading at best and disingenuous at worst,'' says Mark S. Zaid, who was the lead civil defense attorney for Airman 1st Class Jeffrey A. Bettendorf, who refused to receive the anthrax vaccine and was discharged in early March under ``other than honorable conditions'' for his defiance.

Zaid contends that Pentagon officials have understated the risk of bad reactions to the shots and that there has been too little scientific study of the vaccine's long-term health effects on humans.

People are really scared,'' Zaid says, and some would rather end their careers than have the shots.

Pentagon officials say they are concerned by the resistance, but they do not expect it to snowball into a major rebellion.

Lt. Gen. Charles Roadman, the Air Force surgeon general, said in an interview that he is bothered by even the limited number of resisters. He says the Pentagon has ``framed the problem wrong'' and should be telling troops it's not the vaccination they should fear but the possibility of facing anthrax without it.

Roadman has received the six-shot vaccination. ``All I can do from a leadership standpoint is say, 'Look, I've got six holes in my arm where I did this. I believe this is the right thing for us to do,''' he said.

Chapter 23: Cipro-Bayers Anti-anthrax Drug Monopoly

2007-06-12T23:18:00.002-07:00

Cipro, made by BayerCorp (a division Bayer AG) is the first medication specifically approved for use in the event of a biological attack. A year before 9-11, U.S. health officials approved Cipro to fight "the deadly agent, anthrax." Cipro was already one of the world's top-selling antibiotics. (128)

Suspiciously, the Bush cabinet was all put on Cipro on September 11th, 2001 - almost a month before people began dying from anthrax. (129)"One doesnt simply start taking a powerful antibiotic for no good reason. The American people are entitled to know what the White House staffers knew nine months ago, " stated one US truth and justice activist. (130)

Amidst anthrax attacks and widespread fears of exposure, Bayer has refused to allow other pharmaceutical firms to produce ciprofloxacin hydrochloride - so that they can sell more Cipro. (131) Activists are now prosecuting a nationwide class action lawsuit on behalf of all persons in the US who purchased or paid for Cipro, accusing Bayer AG of entering into unlawful agreements with Barr Laboratories, Inc. and Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc. under which, in exchange for over $50 million per year, these two companies agreed not to manufacture or market a generic version. (132).

The U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson threatened to override Bayer's patent unless they agreed to lower the price of the pill, which Bayer promptly agreed. (133) Secretary Thompson ordered more than $100 million worth of CIRPO from Bayer at the "bargain price" of $.90 per tablet, when other companies offered equally effective and lower risk substitutes for a few pennies each, and then for free. No one ever questioned the unprecedented FDA selection of this single, largely untested, extraordinarily expensive, antibiotic called CIPRO for anthrax. Incredibly, according to the Physicians Desk Reference and American Medical Association, the drug is "contraindicated" - a fancy term for "historically bad drug-effect relationship" or "unwise to use" - for conditions resulting in pneumonia, which is
how anthrax kills. (134)

Bayer's monopoly may soon be gone. Scientists at Rockefeller University have been working on an anti-anthrax drug. (135)

Chapter 24: Cipro Or Cannabis-Whats Best For Anthrax

2007-06-12T23:18:00.001-07:00

Consider also Cipro's listed side effects; Abdominal pain; constipation; diarrhea; dizziness; gas; headache; heartburn; lack of energy; loss of appetite; nausea; sensitivity to sunlight; stomach upset; vomiting. Blurred vision; chest pain; chills; fever; hives; nightmares; restlessness; ringing in the ears; skin rash and tremors. (136)

By January 2002, after more than 32,000 people from Washington to Boston consumed CIPRO in the wake of the anthrax mailings, thousands had become seriously ill, many died, as a result. This death toll has never been counted in assessing the damage brought about by the mailings. (137)

Many researchers have noted cannabis's reputation - mostly in African folk medicine - as an effective remedy for anthrax. (138)

The role certain cannabinoids play in general antibiotic action is more well known. (139) Cannabis - both smoked and infused into a drink - is often used to clean out the lungs. (140)

Nobody has died - nor has anyone suffered ringing, rashes or tremors - from simply smoking cannabis. (141) The worst effects of cannabis are cognitive impairment, psychomotor impairment, anxiety, dysphoria, panic and paranoia, chronic bronchitis, and a "dependence syndrome." (142) All effects can be mitigated through familiarity, proper growing and smoking techniques, and by seeing cannabis as a tool rather than a vice. (143)

FBI officials may be implicated in a conspiracy to impede justice in the anthrax mailings case, if not treasonous dereliction of duty, according to a growing number of scientists and consumer advocates. After officials cited the likeliest origin of the powdered anthrax was the U.S. Army?s Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah, or its Ohio-based supplier and CIA-contractor, Battelle Memorial Instititue (BMI), FBI Director Robert Mueller announced the bureau has no intention of investigating anyone with, or formerly with, their chief suspect?BMI.

Just weeks ago, major progress in the FBI?s investigation seemed forthcoming. The New York Times and Washington Post revealed that BMI, Dugway?s anthrax facility supplier and chief administrator had contracted with the CIA (in project ?Clear Vision?) to produce, albeit illegally, the 1 trillion spore-per-gram strain of anthrax under investigation. BMI, while heading the U.S. military?s ?Joint Vaccine Acquisitions Program? worth more than $1 billion in vaccine contracts, commissioned America?s top anthrax expert, William C. Patrick, III, to deliver a report on the powdered anthrax?s prospects for being spread through the mail.

Thus, by mid-December, the public, including health scientists urged to help federal officials identify suspects, realized that someone with high level security clearance, a ?black-op budget,? access to the BMI/Dugway anthrax labs, and vaccine sales incentive, most likely took BMI?s powdered anthrax, and prepared it for mailing from Trenton, NJ; St. Petersburg, FL; Atlanta, GA; and Malaysia.

For the first time since the 1975 Frank Church congressional investigation of the CIA for illegally stockpiling anthrax and other biological weapons, the public learned that the CIA had been violating the international Geneva Accord moratorium on biological weapons development?a revelation somewhat embarrassing to American diplomats engaged in the global ?War on Terrorism.?

During the Anthrax scare in the USA, in the Autumn of 2001, Cipro was the antibiotic of choice given to those potentially exposed to Anthrax spores. However, the experiences of those taking the drug led to a number of newspaper articles on the severe side effects associated with this drug. More articles about the severe side-effects of these drugs continue to be written.

FDA oversight of 'off-label' drug use wanes
By Chris Adams and Alison Young
Knight Ridder Newspapers Washington Bureau 4 November 2003

The drug Kristen Pettijohn took was called Avelox. It's part of a family of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones....That was a Thursday. By Sunday, Pettijohn was nauseated and suffering abdominal pain. Her mother packed a plastic bag with the remaining Avelox pills and took her to the hospital....Over the next five days, Pettijohn was incoherent. She had a burning rash and her skin began peeling off. She slipped into a coma, resting on an air bed, totally wrapped as though she were a severe burn patient....Pettijohn's liver was in full failure, and she was experiencing a form of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a rare and extreme drug reaction mentioned on the Avelox label.

Gary and Ruth Pettijohn, of Batesville, Ind., hold a photo of their daughter, Kristen, who died after being prescribed a powerful antibiotic called Avelox. RANDY AMICK, KRT. She had a liver transplant on Friday. The doctors reported that her old liver had turned to mush and fallen apart in their hands. Soon after the operation, Pettijohn had a heart attack, then another. Her death certificate cited Avelox as the prime contributing factor in her death.

Postal workers sue Bayer, hospitals over antibiotic
NewsDay 18 October 2003

A group of U.S. Postal Service workers has filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of an antibiotic they took during the anthrax scare two years ago. The lawsuit filed in Superior Court Friday charges that Bayer failed to disclose data that the drug, Cipro, could cause nerve and tendon damage. The suit, which seeks class action status, also names three New Jersey hospitals, accusing them of failing to provide warnings, perform exams or offer alternative medications. "It's unfortunate enough the workers went through the anthrax attacks, but the fact that they got a hit from Cipro, which was supposed to protect them, is disgraceful," attorney Stephen Sheller told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Saturday editions.

Anthrax vs. the Cure
Exposed Workers Blame Cipro for Crippling Effects.
By Patrick Rucker
Fairford County Weekly 25 September 2003

Attorney Steve Sheller is leading the Cipro lawsuit. Hundreds of people, Sheller believes, are suffering severe health problems related to the drug. Sheller says Cipro has left his clients with a variety of debilitating ailments, including severe joint pain, tendinitis and muscle ache, severe anxiety and panic attacks, insomnia and depression. Sheller claims Cipro was often the wrong medicine for dealing with the anthrax scare and that Bayer knew the drug could cause complications, particularly if taken in combination with other drugs, but continued to push its use anyway. "They were handing Cipro out like candy," Sheller says, and his clients were not informed about possible adverse effects. westchesterweekly.com/gbase/News/content.html?oid=oid:34987

Cipro Made Us Sick
Hundreds to sue West Haven-based Bayer over a drug they took to fight anthrax
By Patrick Rucker
Hartford Advocate 25 September 2003

Days after starting his cycle of Cipro, Angell began suffering pain in his joints and tendons. Walking became labored and painful. He stopped taking Cipro, but his condition did not improve. In fact, his condition has never improved. Chronic pain forced Angell to leave his post with Baucus. He now works as a consultant from home and lays the blame for his disability on Cipro.

And Angell is not alone. The drug that he believes left him debilitated is being blamed by many others for destroying their normal lives and now they are taking action. A Philadelphia law firm is preparing a class-action lawsuit against Bayer Pharmaceutical, Cipro's Germany-based manufacturer that has its North American headquarters in West Haven. The suit is being filed on behalf of the Capitol Hill staff, Washington postal workers, employees of American Media -- publisher of the Sun and National Inquirer -- and all those who claim to have been injured after taking Cipro in the wake of the anthrax scare. The suit also involves persons who took the drug for routine medical purposes.

Baucus Urges GAO to Open Cipro Probe
By Mark Preston
Roll Call 19 December 2002

Prompted by a staffer's prolonged illness, Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) on Wednesday urged Congressional investigators to examine the widespread distribution of Cipro following last year's anthrax attacks.
"Obviously, we were given this [antibiotic] and nobody knew much about it," said Jeff Forbes, Baucus' chief of staff. "And it appears that this drug could have had a negative effect on one of Senator Baucus' employees, and he wants to get to the bottom of it."

Senator Seeks Probe of Cipro Use for Anthrax
Reuters 19 December 2002

The weakened condition of a Senate staffer has spurred a request for congressional investigators to probe the effects from the widespread use of Bayer Ag antibiotic Cipro in Washington after anthrax-laced letters were mailed to Congress last year. Montana Democrat Sen. Max Baucus wrote to the General Accounting Office to ask for an investigation because one of his staff suffered a debilitating condition after he began to take the drug, a Baucus spokeswoman said on Thursday. The staffer, John Angell, has a condition that affects his tendons and makes it hard for him to walk. He first noticed the symptoms within days of taking Cipro to protect against anthrax exposure, the Baucus spokeswoman said.

Anthrax drug blamed for lingering ailments
By John Lantigua, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Palm Beach Post 20 October 2002

For some American Media employees, veterans of last year's agonizing anthrax scare, it isn't over yet. A very small number of people say they continue to suffer physical problems that are both persistent and perplexing. They attribute those discomforts to the drug they were given to fight possible anthrax poisoning -- Cipro -- a product of the Bayer Corp. In fact, some have decided that the medicine has posed more of a threat to them than the malady -- a claim challenged by some doctors involved in the crisis and by the company. But the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta is concerned enough that it is in the middle of a two-year study of people who took anthrax antibiotics. "I think the stuff is horrible and wish I hadn't taken anything," says a 45-year-old mother of two who still works at AMI and asked that her name not be used. "Ten days into taking it, I got pains in my right foot, and then it started in my left Achilles tendon. I stopped taking it after 20 days, but in all the months since I haven't taken a step that I didn't feel it."

Anthrax ills mirror Cipro side effects
By Mark Benjamin and Dan Olmsted
United Press International 25 April 2002

Doctors treating several survivors of last year's anthrax attacks describe a continuing set of symptoms that are similar to reported side effects of the main drug used to treat them. Those patients -- who received treatment after actually contracting anthrax and not just as a precaution -- suffer from symptoms including confusion, memory loss, fatigue and joint pain. That same constellation of mental and physical problems also has been associated with patients taking Cipro for other reasons.

Cipro no option for man tested for anthrax in Washington
By Nathan Dickinson
Pottsville Republican and Evening Herald 17 November 2001

"I myself remember having had a real problem with Cipro," Zogby said. Zogby said his ordeal with Cipro occurred seven years ago when he needed to take an antibiotic, but the debilitating side effects of anxiety and depression pushed him to return to his personal physician and request a different type of drug. What also compelled him to switch at the time, Zogby said, was an article in the Washington Post describing assorted side effects some people were experiencing with drugs like Cipro.

One of their co-workers died and another came close to death thanks to an anthrax-riddled letter, but fellow employees at Boca Raton's American Media Inc. (AMI) are finding that taking the antibiotic meant to prevent them from getting the deadly disease is a health threat in itself. "I'd say the majority of people have switched off Cipro to one of the other antibiotics," David Pecker, CEO of AMI told the New York Post.

The full impact of large numbers of people being put on Cipro by doctors -- and even larger numbers taking the medicine on their own -- will not be known for weeks or months. But already, patients with other illnesses who desperately need Cipro have been deprived of the medicine, and patients around the country taking the drug have begun reporting such side effects as dizziness, headaches, nausea and achy joints.

After five days on Cipro, Jill Perel can't imagine why anyone would take the anti-anthrax drug without a clear need and a doctor's prescription. "I had never been so sick," she said from Delray Beach, Florida "People taking Cipro with no exposure to anthrax have to be out of their minds." For many people, warding off a possible case of anthrax infection has become a pain in the neck, head, belly and more, thanks to the unpleasant and sometimes dangerous side effects of the antibiotic.

Bobbie Bender simply could not take one more Cipro pill. Soon after beginning a prescribed 60-day treatment of the antibiotic for possible anthrax exposure, Mr. Bender said he began to experience gastrointestinal problems. Days later, he began seeing white spots and sometimes felt faint, he said. So, against the advice of state and local health officials, Mr. Bender, an employee at American Media Inc., where anthrax killed one co-worker and infected another earlier this month, has stopped taking the white Cipro pills altogether.

Cipro Side Effects Spur Concern
By Mike Toner and Jane O. Hansen
Atlanta Journal-Constitution 29 October 2001

More than 10,000 Americans are taking Cipro for possible exposure to anthrax. Millions more take the antibiotic for other reasons. Prescriptions have soared by 49 percent in the last month. Bayer, which manufactures the drug, plans to sell 100 million tablets to the government this year --- and 200 million more later. But the surge in Cipro sales is focusing attention on a simmering controversy about some rare but painful and debilitating side effects that have dogged the class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. -- Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield is pressing charges against a man who allegedly plowed his car through the gates of the boxer's suburban Atlanta home. Michael D. Copeland of Jonesboro was charged with criminal damage to property. Copeland told police he was a postal worker and became disoriented Wednesday evening when he felt a burning sensation on his skin, said Maj. Bruce Jordan of the Fayette County sheriff's department. Officers found literature about anthrax, a bottle of the antibiotic Cipro and a surgical mask on the front seat of Copeland's car, Jordan said. Copeland was treated at Southern Regional Medical Center and released. The hospital did not immediately know if he was tested for anthrax.

Antibiotic May Not Be the 'Protection' You Envision
By Christopher Wanjek
Washington Post 22 October 2001

Lost amid the public health establishment's call for calm about anthrax is the fact that stocking up on antibiotics isn't just a threat to public health. Even if you care only about yourself and your family, taking these drugs is misguided, dangerous and possibly deadly. By administering powerful antibiotics when they're not medically indicated, you can easily wind up hurting the very people you're trying to protect.

According to the FDA package insert, Cipro is contraindicated for patients who are pregnant, since it can cause spontaneous abortions, and for diabetics, since it elevates glucose levels. Diabetics have gone into comas after taking Cipro. ... Cipro can cause a life-threatening type of colitis, a chronic irritation of the bowel. ... According to the pharmacist, the side effects from Cipro are much worse than those of common antibiotics, such as tetracycline. ...

Chapter 25: Farben And Rockefellers Smallpox

2007-06-12T23:17:00.000-07:00

The vaccine in general, and the smallpox vaccine in particular, does not have a good track record as a medicine.

For example, Japan experienced yearly increases in small pox following the introduction of compulsory smallpox vaccines in 1872. By 1892, there were 29,979 deaths, and all had been vaccinated. (144) Early in this century, the Philippines experienced their worst smallpox epidemic ever after 8 million people received 24.5 million vaccine doses; the death rate quadrupled as a result. (145)

The smallpox vaccines major producer today? Acambis (Farben). The Merck (Rockefeller - see below) pharmaceutical company is partnered with Aventis and Acambis in Europe and thus involved in the smallpox and West Nile Virus vaccine trade. The only other smallpox vaccine manufacturer is Baxter (Rockefeller). (146)

Bush cabinet members met secretly with officials of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) to develop plans for their Emergency Preparedness Task Force. The group is said to have prepared enough drugs and vaccines to protect every American against the threats of anthrax and smallpox. PhRMA task force officials, directed by Aventis (Farben) executive Richard Markham, and representing a number of other Farben-Rockefeller progeny and beneficiaries including American Home Products, Abbott Laboratories, Merck, Pfizer, and more, according to the New York Times (Nov. 4, 2001), have met regularly with Bush cabinet members. According to Dr. Sidney M. Wolfe, a director at Ralph Naders public Citizen Health Research Group, the meetings violated a federal law for transparency of such decision-making committees. (147)

Adventis Executive Richard Markham

The 1994 "Rockefeller Report," prepared for the Committee on Veterans Affairs, had many findings, including "finding H": "The safety of the botulism vaccine was not established prior to the Persian Gulf War and remains uncertain." and "finding I": "Records of anthrax vaccine are not suitable to evaluate safety." (148)

Chapter 26: Rockefellers AIDS Part 1 Pfizer

2007-06-12T23:16:00.000-07:00

There is plenty of evidence to suggest AIDS was requested, created and distributed by Rockefeller-linked individuals and organizations. For example, there is the "Department of Defense Appropriations Hearings for 1970" - a 1969 document outlining how the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council advised the US military to develop "synthetic biological agents" with no cure - viruses descriptively and functionally identical to HIV/AIDS. (149)

The NAS-NRC was headed by Frederick Seitz at the time - also then President of Rockefeller University. (150)

Frederick Seitz Joshua Lederberg and Rodney Nichols

The real smoking gun is the 1977 Pfizer contract for "Large-Scale Tissue Culture Virus Production for Cancer Research." It's hard to imagine what they meant by "large-scale," as Pfizer was already making "over 28,000 liters of virus harvest fluids" - a mix of viruses now linked to the AIDS virus. (151)

Pfizer's head at the time was Edmund T. Pratt, director of Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank and member of Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations. (152)

Edmund T. Pratt, Jr.
President (1971-1972)
Chief Executive Officer (1972-1991)
Chairman of the Board (1972-1992)

1972 - Pfizer crosses the billion-dollar sales threshold. John Powers, Jr. (center), steps down; Edmund T. Pratt, Jr. (right), becomes CEO; and Gerald D. Laubauch becomes President.

Pfizer's partner in this project was Rockefeller's International Agency for Research in Cancer - the IACR (International Association of Cancer Registries). (153)

Pfizer has offices in New York City, and the IARC has offices in Uganda. AIDS first sprung up in NYC and Uganda at about the same time. (154)

Another Pfizer director linked to Rockefeller's cancer industry is Paul A. Marks, chief officer at Sloan Kettering Memorial Cancer Center, director of treatment regimens at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and director of the American Association for Cancer Research. (155)

SYNTHETIC BIOLOGICAL AGENTS
There are two things about the biological agent field I would like to mention. One is the possibility of technological surprise. Molecular biology is a field that is advancing very rapidly, and eminent biologists believe that within a period of 5 to 10 years it would be possible to produce a synthetic biological agent, an agent that does not naturally exist and for which no natural immunity could have been acquired.

MR. SIKES: Are we doing any work in that field?
DR. MACARTHUR: We are not.
MR. SIKES: Why not? Lack of money or lack of interest?
DR. MACARTHUR: Certainly not lack of interest.
MR. SIKES: Would you provide for our records information on what would be required, what the advantages of such a program would be, the time and the cost involved?
DR. MACARTHUR: We will be happy to.

(The information follows:)

The dramatic progress being made in the field of molecular biology led us to investigate the relevance of this field of science to biological warfare. A small group of experts considered this matter and provided the following observations:

1. All biological agents up to the present time are representatives of naturally occurring disease, and are known by scientists throughout the world. They are easily available to qualified scientists for research, either for offensive or defensive purposes.

2. Within the next 5 to 10 years, it would probably be possible to make a new infective microorganism which would differ in certain important aspects from any known disease-causing organisms. Most important of these is that it might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease.

3. A research program to explore the feasibility of this could be completed in approximately 5 years at a total cost of $10 million.

4. It would be very difficult to establish such a program. Molecular biology is a relatively new science. There are not many highly competent scientists in the field, almost all are in university laboratories, and they are generally adequately supported from sources other than DOD. However, it was considered possible to initiate an adequate program through the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council (NAS-NRC).

The matter was discussed with the NAS-NRC, and tentative plans were made to initiate the program. However, decreasing funds in CB, growing criticism of the CB program, and our reluctance to involve the NAS-NRC in such a controversial endeavor have led us to postpone it for the past 2 years.

It is a highly controversial issue, and there are many who would believe such research would lead to yet another method of massive killing of large populations. On the other hand, without the sure scientific knowledge that such a weapon is possible, and an understanding of the ways it could be done, there is little that can be done to devise defensive measures. Should an enemy develop it there is little doubt that this is an important area of potential military technological inferiority in which there is no adequate research program.

Chapter 27: Rockefellers AIDS Part 2 Litton Bionetics

2007-06-12T23:15:00.002-07:00

Litton Bionetics, a division of mammoth defense contractor Litton Industries, is linked to the Rockefeller empire through a history of managerial appointments. (156) A Litton Bionetics report to the NCI in 1971 listed virtually every virus, viral recombinant, and infectious agent under study by the world's leading cancer researchers, vaccine developers, and biological weapons contractors. While the document does not mention West Nile Virus, it does mention a "Dawson's encephalitis" virus, likely deriving its name not from the West Nile district of Uganda, but from a Rockefeller-linked cancer investigator by the name of Dawson who was clearly affiliated, by NCI contract, with Litton and the IARC laboratory. (157)

Contracts between Litton Bionetics and the US government, printed in a book called the "Special Virus Cancer Program" (military jargon for "Secret Cancer Virus Program") describe a search for a "human cancer virus" going back to 1962.

Contracts describe the scientists attempts at "co-cultivation" and "hybridization" - mixing leukemia, lymphoma, sarcoma and Epstein-Barr virus particles to create or "rescue" or "isolate" new mutant strains of viruses. (158) Other documents show Dr. Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute working under contract with Litton Bionetics to create viruses that were functionally identical to HIV. (159)

Robert Gallo, M.D.,

Robert Gallo, M.D., director of the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute and professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, is considered one of the world's leading AIDS researchers. He recently received the 2001 World Health Award for "extraordinary scientific research that revolutionizes medicine, ....and improves our lives." Read about his pioneering role in discovering HIV, and about his search for a preventive AIDS vaccine. Gallo would later claim to have "discovered" AIDS. "Invented" is more accurate ... but less glamorous.

Northop Grumman Corporation, whose head, Kent Kresa, is also on Rockefellers Council on Foreign Relations, has since bought Litton. (160)

"Any method which appears to offer advantages to a nation at war will be vigorously employed by that nation. There is but one logical course to pursue, namely, to study the possibilities of such warfare from every angle ... "
-George W. Merck, Merck Pharmaceutical Company President, report on biological warfare to U.S. Secretary of War, 1942 (161)

Merck's ties to Rockefeller are numerous, involving money from the Rockefeller (162) and Sloan foundations (163) - not to mention officials from I.G. Farben. Henry Kissinger - long-time member of Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations - remains on Merck's board of advisors. (164)

Henry Kissinger, a professor of international relations at Harvard University and a political ally of Nelson Rockefeller, was named the National Security Advisor

Merck's ties to American biological warfare research goes back to its very beginnings. In 1941, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson - a member of Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations - requested the Rockefeller-controlled (165) National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to appoint a committee to survey the feasibility of biological war weapons.

The 1942 NAS committee concluded that biological war might be feasible and recommended that steps be taken to reduce U.S. vulnerability to a bio-weapon attack. A civilian agency, the War Reserve Service was formed under the direction of George W. Merck, of the Merck Company. (166)

George Merck made it clear that "All possible living agents, or their toxic products, which were pathological for man, animal and plants were considered." (167) Merck mentions significant advances in "human immunity" biological warfare weapons as early as 1946. (168)

Weapons production at Fort Detrick, Maryland, the U.S. Army's base for biowarfare research.

Records show the Merck pharmaceutical company received a major share of the Nazi "flight capital" - the working capital of the IG Farben Rockefeller chemical cartel - at the close of World War II. These facts were revealed by Norman Covert, Army public relations director at Fort Detrick in Frederick, MD (169) - the same "Camp Detrick" given to George Merck to use for his wartime research. Camp Detrick Army Chemical Corps worked with Germany's bio-warfare specialist Major General Kurt Blome - just two months after he was acquitted at Nuremberg. (170)

KURT BLOME - Deputy [of the] Reich Health Leader (Reichsgesundheitsfuehrer); and Plenipotentiary for Cancer Research in the Reich Research Council.

Bayer worked at Ft. Detrick after WW2, developing "new weapons." (171)

No doubt Merck put all that Nazi know-how to work making war viruses. A "Special Virus Cancer Program" contract from 1971 revealed Merck developed "methods of propagation, purification, concentration, and specific quantitation of candidate viruses suspected or shown to cause cancer in man."

One of the viruses mentioned in the contract was called the "KT strain of feline leukemia" - what leading experts have identified as a man-made virus, possibly a "cat/human mutant." At the onset of the AIDS epidemic, the Center for Disease Control hepatitis B Chief Dr. Don Francis said; Combine these two diseases - feline leukemia and hepatitis - and you have the immune deficiency. (172)

Dr. Don Francis says he would be pleased with an AIDS vaccine that is 30 percent effective.

Merck also created a Hepatitis B vaccine that they tested on New York homosexuals - their "Phase I and II studies" occurring between 1976 and 1977 (173) - which could account for the first recorded New York AIDS cases in Manhattan in 1978. (174)

Thabo Mbeki with Merck & Co. Chairman Raymond Gilmartin

MBEKI VISITS MERCK USA HQ - WEST POINT, Pa. (AP) - South Africa President Thabo Mbeki, who has been criticized for not taking a stronger stand on AIDS, followed up a meeting with President Bush with a visit Wednesday to a lab working on an AIDS vaccine. Mbeki said Merck & Co., one of the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, has expressed interest in working with the South African government to examine "these broader questions".

One last interesting connection. George Merck lived on Jupiter Island, Florida - home to Paul Mellon (Andrew's son) and Prescott Bush. (175)

Chapter 29: Rockefellers AIDS Drugs And Vaccine

2007-06-12T23:13:00.000-07:00

Merck began AIDS drug research in 1986, yielding two medicines. There are more potential HIV/AIDS therapies in their "pipeline," including an investigational vaccine. (176)

The International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) is a global organization working to speed the development and distribution of preventive AIDS vaccines. Its "President and Founder" is Dr Seth Berkley.

Professor J.J. Bwayo, Professor Andrew McMichael and Dr. Seth Berkley

Prior to founding the initiative, Dr. Berkley was Associate Director of the Health Sciences Division at The Rockefeller Foundation.

Born in January 1996, the organization has four strategies. I quote:

1. To create global demand for a vaccine. ... to get the drive for an AIDS vaccine back onto all agendas, whether political, media, scientific or whatever.

2. To create an aggressive applied science program to help move ideas from the research stage into accelerated clinical testing ... it is critical that we ensure that vaccines are tested in humans.

3. To try to create a better environment for industrial investment in AIDS vaccines ... to drive the creation of incentives for industry.

4. To ensure global access. ... to ensure that, when a vaccine is made, the systems are in place to have simultaneous availability in the north and south, which of course has never been done for any vaccine. (177)

IAVI is now capitalized at slightly more than a quarter of a billion dollars. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has contributed $126.5 million. (178)

Vaccine making is big bucks these days. Thirteen days after 9-11, the Pentagon announced plans to develop 15 new vaccines at a cost of $3.2 billion over 12 years. The Defense Department determined it needs not only a new anthrax vaccine but also at least 13 other new vaccines, including serum for small pox, next-generation anthrax, the plague, three varieties of equine encephalitis, coxiella burnetii, Tularemia, botulinum toxin, staphlococcyl enterotoxin b, ricin and brucella. The project would nearly double the number of vaccines available in the world. Just 20 vaccines are commercially available. Merck Pharmaceuticals, the largest private producer, manufacturers nine of them. (179)

According to Merck's website, Merck's "approach to business," it's "fundamental value system" that helps "translate how we spend our research dollars" is driven by a statement from a 1950 speech in which George W. Merck stated that "medicine is for the people, not for the profits. If we remember that the profits will follow." (180)

Profits follow even more when you forget about the people, as Merck's various million-dollar virus "make-work-projects" proves.

Chapter 30: Bayers Latest Chemical And Biological Weapons

2007-06-12T23:12:00.000-07:00

Thursday, 9 August, 2001, Bayer confirms profits slump

The Cutter Drug Company - located in Berkeley, California since 1903 - began making smallpox vaccines way back in 1906, and the plague in 1944.

A San Francisco lab worker in protective clothing handles vaccine for bubonic plague, a highly contagious virus.

The Bayer Research Center is part of a worldwide research organization. We conduct pharmaceutical, biological and biotechnology research in Wuppertal, Germany; Stoke Court, England; Kyoto, Japan; Raleigh, N.C. and Berkeley, California.

Bayer Pharamaceutical Labs, Berkeley

Production of Kogenate in Bayer's Berkeley lab

Berkeley Bayer Children's Science Center

The Children's Science Center in Berkeley, California is located in the Columbus School (kindergarten through 5th grade). The old Columbus School was destroyed by an earthquake in 1989, and the community believed that the new school should be an important resource for the children and families of West Berkeley. Given the proximity of Bayer's 30-acre biotechnology site, the company felt the most appropriate contribution it could make to the new school was to give it a science center. Bayer contributed $150,000 to fund the center, and Bayer scientists are working with teachers to design and equip the center and to help with curriculum ideas.

They've been making the plague ever since - 2.6 million doses every year - a $1.7 million dollar contract.

Cutter makes about $10 million per year in military bio-weapons contracts. In 1958, Cutter was sued over crippling two children with the Salk polio vaccine. (181)

First Salk polio vaccine in Midlothian, 1955.

Bayer acquired Cutter's Berkeley laboratory in 1974. In 1978, Bayer bought Miles Inc. - makers of Alka-Seltzer, One-a-Day Vitamins and Bactine. (182)

Today, this lab is known as "Miles Cutter." Federal inspectors from Rockville, Maryland, did a routine inspection of Miles Cutter's plague vaccine "on the assumption that [it] would be used in the Gulf War." (183)

Concern by some Gulf War veterans that vaccines may have contributed to their unexplained illnesses led to the vaccine use study.

Interestingly, many biologists believe that there is "no feasible defense against biological attack" because "the variety of attack agents is too large." (184) If vaccines are useless for defense, why are they being made?

Well ... what other "weapon of mass destruction" can you grow in a petri dish? As weapons of mass destruction go, they're the biggest bang for your war-profiteering buck.

May, 1986. The US Department of Commerce licenses 70 biological exports to Iraq between May of 1985 and 1989, including at least 21 batches of lethal strains of anthrax. [3] May, 1986. US Department of Commerce approves shipment of weapons grade botulin poison to Iraq. [7]
[3] Kurt Nimno. AlterNet. September 23, 2002
[7] Riegle Report: Dual Use Exports. Senate Committee on Banking. May 25, 1994

Weapon? Yes, weapon. To make a vaccine, you must first make the pathogen the vaccine will guard against. To make lots of smallpox vaccine, you have to make lots of smallpox. Bayer is essentially making useless defensive vaccines so it can get away with selling very effective offensive viruses while not (technically) running afoul of international bio-war treaties.

Bayer is also still in the poison gas business. After the Gulf War, the UN imposed far-reaching sanctions against Iraq, especially concerning getting rid of weapons of mass destruction. It has now come out that 200 tons of a basic chemical substance for the neurotoxin VX has disappeared from Iraq's armaments. The patent for the chemical warfare agent VX comes from Bayer. (185)

Powell estimated that Iraq has at least 100 metric tons and as much as 500 metric tons of chemical warfare agents, which include VX, sarin, cyclosarin and mustard gas.

Suggestions of chemical warfare will stoke fears for British troops heading towards the Gulf.

On Friday, a defence minister rejected claims that troops had been asked to sign disclaimers over vaccines being offered to the military.

Anna Vizor, of St Edmunds, Suffolk, said her husband, who is in the RAF, had rejected offers of various jabs, including anthrax.

In a letter to the Daily Telegraph, Ms Vizor said: "He was told if he wanted to have these jabs, he had to sign a disclaimer saying that if he was ill in the future, he couldn't claim any compensation."

'No vaccine disclaimer'

Defence Minister Lewis Moonie told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "They are not being asked to sign waivers. Categorically not. It is the exact opposite."

Dr Moonie continued: "When somebody refuses a vaccination - not when they take it - a record is kept, signed by the doctor and the person, saying that they understand that they have been offered the vaccination and have refused it.

"We have very good public health reasons for wanting our people to take all the vaccinations, not just anthrax.

"That's why we do try to put pressure on them, but it is a voluntary act."

Chapter 31: Eugenics And Genocide

2007-06-12T23:11:00.000-07:00

Some of you must be saying to yourself by now: "West Nile ... anthrax ... smallpox ... the plague ... AIDS! Are they CRAZY? Are they trying to KILL US?" In a word - YES. These drug and chemical companies are both crazy AND trying to kill us.

It's not just simple greed and a lack of concern for others. Even more, it is a form of subtle racism/classism/homophobia, pretending to be environmentalism, and taking the form of genocide.

The above information should convince you the "population control freaks" are quite able to kill half of us (if not most or all of us). The following information explains how they have convinced themselves this is the right thing to do.

In 1910, Charles B. Davenport founded the Eugenics Record Office (ERO) in Cold Spring Harbor, on Long Island in New York. Initial funding came mostly from the Harriman family (Prescott Bush's Nazi banking partners), with smaller contributions from John D. Rockefeller and other wealthy donors. (186)

Edward Harriman

Davenport was sympathetic to the Nazi sterilization laws of the mid-thirties, (187) and helped carry out "Nazi propaganda chores." (188)

Charles B. Davenport, 1936

In 1925, Davenport would write;

"Our ancestors drove Baptists from Massachusetts into Rhode Island but we have no place to drive the Jews. Also they burned the witches but it seems to be against the mores to burn any considerable part of our population." (189)

"Eugenics" soon evolved into "racial hygiene" - a term the Nazi's used to scientifically justify their genocidal policies. Hitler was called "physician of the German people" who was "killing in the name of healing." (190) One member of Davenport's office would remark that Hitler "should be made (an) honorary member" of the ERO. (191)

The ERO and Ernst Rudin - ex-Rockefeller employee and head the German "Racial Hygiene Society" - worked together on a regular basis. (192)

Chapter 32: Sterilize The Drug Fiends!

2007-06-12T23:10:00.000-07:00

In 1935, Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute in New York produced his book "Man the Unknown." In it, he wrote that

"enormous sums are now required to maintain prisons and insane asylums. . . . Why do we preserve these useless and harmful beings? This fact must be squarely faced. Why should society not dispose of the criminals and the insane in a more economical manner? . . . The community must be protected against troublesome and dangerous elements. . . . Perhaps prisons should be abolished. . . . The conditioning of the petty criminal with the whip, or some more scientific procedure, followed by a short stay in hospital, would probably suffice to insure order. [Criminals including those] who have . . . misled the public on important matters, should be humanely and economically disposed of in small euthanasic institutions supplied with proper gases. A similar treatment could be advantageously applied to the insane, guilty of criminal acts." (193)

Rockefeller's racist writers were a hit. By the early 1930's, thirty states had passed compulsory sterilization laws that gave panels of "experts" the power to sterilize individuals who fell into such undesirable social categories as "sexual perverts," "epileptics," "drunkards" and "drug fiends." (194)

States w/sterilization laws - 1921

Hitler accredited eugenics in America as the most important factor influencing his policies on racial and hereditary science. (195)

In 1906, he became attached to the Rockefeller Institute in New York City. There, he did research into the life of cells and blood vessels. His work led to a Nobel Prize in 1912 for his success in suturing blood vessels and transplanting organs.

During World War I, he returned to France and worked with Henry Dakin to perfect a system of treating infected wounds. The Carrel-Dakin solution saved countless lives.

Back in the United States, in 1934, Carrel worked with famed aviator Charles Lindbergh to create a heart perfusion pump, a medical breakthrough that would lead to the routine transplantation of organs and the artificial heart.

The following year, he published Man, the Unknown, a riveting analysis of humanity's stuggle to remain spiritually connected to others in a modern technologically-driven society. The book was a number one bestseller, landing him on the cover of Time Magazine in September, 1935. The book's themes are as timely now as they were in the 1930s.

At the outbreak of World War II, Dr. Carrel believed it was again his duty to return to France to be with his people. In 1941, he was appointed head of an organization, "The French Foundation for the Study of Human Problems," which he held until the Liberation of France in 1944. His work with this organization led to charges of collaboration with the Germans. He was cleared of all such charges just two weeks before his death.

Chapter 33: From Eugenics To Population Control

2007-06-12T23:09:00.000-07:00

The Rockefeller Foundation continued to support eugenics programs well into WW2. (196) By 1940, most of the wealthy patrons of began to pull their money from "eugenics" - the Nazi's having forever associated that term with white supremacy and genocide. (197)

In 1952 it began again - this time they would call it "population control" Sounds nicer than "eugenics" - like young people handing out free condoms or something nice like that. JD Rockefeller the Third (JDR3 to his friends) hired an expert in eugenics - Frederick Osborn - to head the Population Council. (198)

Despite its new name, "population control" was and is still all about eugenics, white supremacy and genocide.

On Dec. 10, 1974, the U.S. National Security Council under Henry Kissinger (Nelson Rockefeller's right-hand man and long-time CFR member) completed a classified 200-page study, "National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests." The study falsely claimed that population growth in the so-called "lesser developed countries" was a grave threat to U.S. national security.

Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford, NSSM 200 outlined a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries through birth control, and also, implicitly, war and famine. Kissinger's study stated:

"Would food be considered an instrument of national power? ... Is the U.S. prepared to accept food rationing to help people who can't/won't control their population growth? ... It is questionable, whether aid donor countries will be prepared to provide the sort of massive food aid called for by the import projections on a long-term continuing basis." (199)

If the first world wouldn't rob the third word blind with export agriculture if the third world had its own manufacturing base and "fair trade" instead of "free" trade, they wouldn't need "aid" anymore - that's the fact most left out of discussions on "aid."

Chapter 34: Half Of You People Must Die!

2007-06-12T23:08:00.000-07:00

Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations recently published an article stating that the US population should be reduced to "about it's size in the 1940's" (200) - in other words, cut it back by at least half. It goes without saying that similar (if not more drastic) "cuts" are called for in the rest of the world. Most of their attention is with the "less developed" countries. (201)

As ecologist Murry Buckchin (202) so eloquently put it;

"All too often, alas, the overpopulation message is also focused on Third World countries. (This, although the number of people who occupy a square mile in the Third World is actually immensely smaller than the numbers for Europe and the United States)."

The facts are that population growth decreases as social services increase. (203) That makes sense. Poor people have lots of kids so that a few survive to look after them in their old age. If the "population control freaks" were really serious about reducing the population growth rate the decent way (instead of the quick, racist and profitable way), they would see to it that the whole world had the same social safety net that exists in near-zero population growth countries like Italy or Japan.

Diego Rivera, Contradictions Between Rich and Poor, #01, 1923-28. painted mural. Mexican.

Further, if we all change how we consume - away from unsustainable like fossil fuels and harsh chemicals, and towards wind/wave/sun/bio fuels and sustainable technologies, we could quite easily support double today's population. In other words, it's not "how many" of us their are, but "how smart" we all are with our limited resources.

During the aptly named Rockefeller Hearings before the U.S. congress in 1994, government officials admitted; "..to more than 50 years of bio-warfare experiments carried out on hundreds of thousands of American citizens." (204)

Let's end this bio-genocidal experiment before some moron does something quick, racist and profitable.

2007-06-12T23:07:00.002-07:00

Among hundreds of Rockefeller funded institutes and projects in the U.S., England and Germany that have been involved in promoting Eugenics, was the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Eugenics and Human Heredity in Berlin.

The head of that institute, Dr. Otmar Verschuer, was Josef (Bayer employee) Mengele's patron, teacher and co-researcher.

Otmar von Verschuer

Another Rockefeller sponsored doctor and researcher, Dr. Franz Kallmann, helped save Verschuer after WWII by testifying favorably about his value to science during the U.S. government denazification hearings. Dr. Kallmann later created the American Society of Human Genetics, which organized the "Human Genome Project." (205) Rockefeller's Cold Spring Harbor is home to the Human Genome Project. (206)

The project has a 3 billion dollar budget. The stated aim of the project is to "map the genetics of humanity" along with "each races special disease susceptibilities." The project interests big business greatly. In what has often been compared to a land grab, companies and universities have filed for patents on hundreds of thousands of genes and gene fragments. (207) Rockefeller University also does genetic research. (208)

Writers have speculated as to the ramifications of the project, predicting a "Brave New Word" or "Star Wars, Attack of the Clones"-esque nightmare future:

Today a college degree is required in order to apply for many jobs. In the near future a genetic degree proving that an applicant fits the genetic profile an employer wants will be a similar requirement. Unlike a college degree, you'll have to be born with the right genetic makeup. Sound far-fetched? Only 68 years ago in Nazi Germany, an entire society based on the concept of genetic status was created. Not having DNA technology, Hitler was forced to use eye and hair color as the main basis to determine who was an Aryan and could therefore hold a socially desirable position. An even greater threat to mankind is that this technology ... will be used actively and aggressively to create new sub-races of human beings specialized to perform certain tasks. Naturally created children will find themselves competing against genetically modified people that are stronger, faster, smarter, less constrained by feelings of empathy and more disease and stress resistant. (209)

should this be a picture that didn't work?

There are also more overtly fascistic, "1984" implications. When asked whether all children should have DNA tests at birth, New York Mayor Giuliani said:

."..I would have no problem with that, or fingerprinting all children...There is absolutely no reason why people should be afraid of being identified...It's not invasive ... It doesn't invade any right of privacy. You don't have a right not to be identified. I don't remember a constitutional amendment that gives you the right not to be identified." (210)

I don't recall anything in the constitution that granted the government the right to steal your DNA, retna-scan you ... or tattoo a number on your arm, for that matter.

Jay Leno calls Rudolph Giuliani "fascist"
from Salon.com

The head of the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations demanded an apology from Jay Leno for his comment that Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was "fascist" to appoint a decency committee on art. "I think it's terrible," said William Fugazy, chairman of the NECO and a Giuliani supporter. "To compare him to a fascist, I think, is a disgrace." Leno called Giuliani a "fascist" for appointing a decency commission to determine which art is offensive. The comedian compared Giuliani's efforts to Adolf Hitler's crusade to remove "degenerate art" from German museums in the early years of the Third Reich. Fugazy said his group planned to mount a letter-writing campaign to NBC.
Giuliani's office issued a denial in German.

There are currently over 786 million hungry people on planet Earth.

And while few would deny that world hunger is one of the most important issues facing mankind today, if the solution is left to companies like Monsanto, Aventis (Hoechst - from IG Farben - combined with Rhone-Poulenc), Dow, and DuPont, we may face even greater challenges to the security of our global ecosystem.

With the second Green Revolution well under way, the world's food supply is slowly being transformed by a radically improvised agricultural paradigm.

http://www.actionbioscience.org/biotech/pusztai.html

Genetically engineered crops have been introduced into the market without the rigorous testing that many scientists feel is required. The history is instructive:

In 1986, U.S. biotech companies began testing the first genetically engineered food products. In 1993, the FDA declared that GM food was "not inherently dangerous," which gave a green light to biotech corporations who had been developing GM seeds. One year later, the first GM food product, Flavr Savr tomato, was released to enthusiastic U.S. consumers.

http://www.essentialbiosafety.info/dbase.php?action=ShowProd&data=FLAVR+SAVR

But in Europe, GM food did not win such easy converts. Groups like Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth protested the new "Frankenfoods," galvanizing public outrage and the eventual policy mandate requiring all modified produce to be clearly labelled.

Despite the highly publicized battle over genetically engineered food, many people are still unaware that many of the products they consume on a daily basis are GM. In Contaminated, Fritjof Capra, Paul Hawken and Vandana Shiva explain the evolution of the new biotech agribusiness and its potential dangers to the sustainability of the global food supply.

Chapter 36: Rockefellers HARRP And Chemtrails

2007-06-12T23:07:00.001-07:00

The "High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program" - otherwise known as HARRP - is a weather-control experiment that may pose a serious threat to the atmosphere and environment (211).

Cold Spring Harbor also has the copywrite to HARRP's website. (211) - this is the wrong number and i can't find this in your book.

Another "weather modification" experiment is the "Welsbach seeding" patent, held by Hughes Aircraft Company, supposedly invented to reduce global warming, it actually provides a cover for spreading aluminum oxide into the air in massive quantities "via the jet fuel" - what some people call "chemtrails."(212)

One researcher speculated that the aluminum particles could be used in tandem with HARRP to modify the weather. (212) - i don't know what this is.

Another writer suggested a more "population control" application - that the chemtrails could attract sky-dwelling viruses, fungi and bacteria that feed off aluminum (and are too small to fall to the ground) and "drag" them down to be breathed in by us. (213) Aluminum itself weakens the immune system when ingested or breathed-in. More population control? The "authorities" refuse to answer the chemtrail-activist's questions.

Albert D. Wheelon - a member of Rockefellers Council on Foreign Relations, runs Hughes. (214)

Chapter 37: Background To The Current Oil Wars

2007-06-12T23:06:00.002-07:00

This next bit will require a little American oil history, so the Rockefeller associations are all made clear. By 1880, Rockefeller owned or controlled 95% of all oil produced in the United States. Rockefellers Standard Oil of New Jersey distributed the majority of the oil. (215) In 1911, after years of anti-monopoly activism by large portions of the population, Standard Oil was "dissolved" ... or so they thought. An oil historian records the "dissolution" this way;

"Standard oil of New Jersey, with almost half the total net value; it became Exxon -- and never lost it's lead. Next largest, with 9 percent of total value, was Standard Oil of New York, which ultimately became Mobil. There was Standard Oil (California), which eventually became Chevron; Standard Oil of Ohio, which became Sohio and then the American arm of BP; Standard Oil of Indiana, which became which became Amoco; Continental Oil, which became Conoco; and Atlantic, which became part of ARCO and then eventually of Sun. 'We even had to send out some office boys to head these companies,' one Standard official sourly commented." (216)

The companies were "separate" but continued to work together. Others have linked Rockefeller to Shell, Gulf, Union and Continental. (217) In 1998, Exxon and Mobile re-joined each other, a deal that was immediately called "Rockefeller's Revenge." (218) The growth hasn't stopped - in 2001 Chevron merged with Texaco. (219) The following briefly outlines the highlights of the connections between these Rockefeller oil companies and the current war for oil in the Middle East.

Chapter 38: Rockefeller The White House And The Middle East

2007-06-12T23:06:00.001-07:00

Bush Sr.'s Gulf War in 1991 resulted in securing access to the huge Rumaila oil field of southern Iraq by expanding the boundaries of Kuwait after the war. This allows Kuwait, controlled by Standard Oil, to double its prewar oil output. (220) The Anglo-American oil giants (BP, Chevron-Texaco, Shell, Exxon-Mobil) are all absent from Iran and Iraq. (221)

They do, however, have hundreds of billions of dollars invested in the Middle East (222), and would love to put some puppets in power in Iraq and Iran who would allow them to do business there. They seem to be buying up all the oil reserves in the surrounding oil-rich area.

For example, in 1994, a contract was signed between Kazakhstan and Chevron, granting the company a 50% stake in all oil development there (223) Vice president Dick Cheney helped broker the deal. (224) Chevron once employed current Bush administration National Security Advisor (and Chevron stock-holder) Condoleezza Rice - the only Bush administration ex-oil baron to have a tanker named after her. (225)

In the spring of 2001, Halliburton (Vice President Cheney's company before he took office) signed a major contract with the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan to develop a 6000-square-meter marine base to support offshore oil construction in the Caspian Sea. (226) Dick Cheney is a member of both the Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations, and Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission. (227) Cheney is linked to Shell. (228)

UNOCAL, the spearhead for Standard Oil interests, has been trying to build the north-south pipeline through Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Indian Ocean for several decades. (229)

Bush Sr.'s Gulf War in 1991 resulted in securing access to the huge Rumaila oil field of southern Iraq by expanding the boundaries of Kuwait after the war.

OIL LAKE NORTH Spill in North Rumaila oil field contained 15,000 bbl when discovered.

This allows Kuwait, controlled by Standard Oil, to double its prewar oil output. (220) The Anglo-American oil giants (BP, Chevron-Texaco, Shell, Exxon-Mobil) are all absent from Iran and Iraq. (221)

Chevron once employed current Bush administration National Security Advisor (and Chevron stock-holder) Condoleezza Rice - the only Bush administration ex-oil baron to have a tanker named after her. (225)

Dick Cheney is a member of both the Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations, and Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission. (227)

The Council on Foreign Relations, housed in the Harold Pratt House on East 68th Street in New York City, was founded in 1921. In 1922, it began publishing a journal called Foreign Affairs. ... The 3,000 seats of the CFR quickly filled with members of America's elite. Today, CFR members occupy key positions in government, the mass media, financial institutions, multinational corporations, the military, and the national security apparatus. Since its inception, the CFR has served as an intermediary between high finance, big oil, corporate elitists and the U.S. government. The executive branch changes hands between Republican and Democratic administrations, but cabinet seats are always held by CFR members. It has been said by political commentators on the left and on the right that if you want to know what U.S. foreign policy will be next year, you should read Foreign Affairs this year.
The CFR's claim that "The Council has no affiliation with the U.S. government" is laughable. The justification for that statement is that funding comes from member dues, subscriptions to its Corporate Program, foundation grants, and so forth. All this really means is that the U.S. government does not exert any control over the CFR via the purse strings. In reality, CFR members are very tightly affiliated with the U.S. government. Since 1940, every U.S. secretary of state (except for Gov. James Byrnes of South Carolina, the sole exception) has been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and/or its younger brother, the Trilateral Commission. Also since 1940, every secretary of war and every secretary of defense has been a CFR member. During most of its existence, the Central Intelligence Agency has been headed by CFR members, beginning with CFR founding member Allen Dulles. Virtually every key U.S. national security and foreign policy adviser has been a CFR member for the past seventy years. Almost all White House cabinet positions are occupied by CFR members. President Clinton, himself a member of the CFR, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group, employs almost one hundred CFR members in his administration. Presidents come and go, but the CFR's power--and agenda--always remains. When it was founded in 1921, the CFR was dominated by J.P. Morgan. Morgan is a Rothschild tentacle. This simply reinforces the obvious, that the CFR is a Rothschild instrument operated by the Rockefellers. The CFR is the immediate progeny of Rhodes' Round Table, which was underwritten by the Rothschilds.
David Rockefeller is the chairman emeritus of the CFR. Rockefeller also founded in 1973, and is honorary chairman of, the Trilateral Commission. In 1979, Barry Goldwater published this treatise on the subject ... from http://www.ptialaska.net/~swampy/illuminati/cfr_2.html:

Chapter 39: Enron Exxon And Pipelineastan

2007-06-12T23:05:00.000-07:00

"If the US controls the sources of energy of its rivals - Europe, Japan, China and other nations aspiring to be more independent - they win. This explains why pipelines from the Caucasus to the West have to be America-friendly - i.e. Turkish or Macedonian - and not 'unreliable', meaning Russian-controlled. Washington, always, has to control everything: that's what Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger always said. -"Pipelineistan," Asia Times, 26 January 2002 (230)

Council members Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry A. Kissinger at the Harold Pratt House in 1965, the year the Council published Brzezinski's Alternative to Partition. Eight years earlier Kissinger made his mark with the publication of Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy.

"Henry Kissinger was secretary of state for Presidents Nixon and Ford. And as President Nixon's national security adviser, he laid the groundwork for the first diplomatic opening to communist China 30 years ago. He is now president of Kissinger Associates, a consulting firm that has done business in China. And Zbigniew Brzezinski; he was President Carter's national security adviser when the U.S. first established full diplomatic relations with China. He's now a counselor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies."

Texas-based, scandal-prone Enron, along with Amoco, Chevron, Mobil, UNOCAL and British Petroleum are spending billions of dollars to pump the reserves of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. (231)

"Kazakhstan is committed to the development of multiple oil export routes, in order ro support its potential oil reserves of 100-110 billion barrels." ...

"Kazakhstan has abundant natural resources with a total potential value estimated at $8.7 trillion. In particular, Kazakhstan's hydrocarbon reserves are vast - with potentially the world's third largest reserves of oil, after Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Kazakhstan is committed to the development of multiple oil export routes, since existing pipelines and transport options do not have sufficient capacity to support its potential oil reserves of 100-110 billion barrels."

Enron CEO Kennith Lay

It just so happens that Enron CEO Kennith Lay has his Rockefeller ties - he was on the board of directors of Texas Commerce Bank when the bank was bought by Chase - David Rockefeller's main bank. (232)

In 1996, the US-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce was founded. The Director extended "deep appreciation to the following companies which have contributed to its establishment: Amoco, BP America, Chevron, Exxon, Mobil, Occidental, Panalpina, and Unocal." Other characters involved in the current Mid-East war who have held positions with this innocuous-sounding oil industry funded organization include Unocal President John Imle and White House favorites James Baker, Dick Cheney, and Henry Kissinger. (233)

Old Pals in the White House Cabinet Room, 17 June 1976
Bush Senior (left middle), Cheney (centre, with hair!), Kissinger (right, sitting)

And speaking of Cheney, Enron gave Bush-Cheney 2.3 million in campaign contributions for their theft of the White House in 2000.

They also contributed to over 200 members of Congress from both parties. Most of the SEC (the watchdogs of Wall Street) investigative records of Enron were stored in the World Trade Center. (234)

Building 7 - did it catch on fire and then fall down? We'll never know because the evidence was eliminated quickly.

Imagine that ... the very planes that destroyed all that "conflict-of-interest" evidence in the WTC also gave them an excuse to invade and occupy oil-rich territories. What a lucky coincidence for Bush and Cheney.

Every time I see a picture of the burning towers, or see the gruesome photos and hear the loud impact of the jumpers, I think to myself; "He who profits by a crime commits crime" (235) - and nobody profited more than Bush, Cheney and their oil buddies.

Chapter 40: Rockefellers Oil-war Pundits

2007-06-12T23:04:00.001-07:00

Kissinger and the Rockefeller's go way back. During WW2, Kissinger was working his way up the "intelligence community" hierarchy, belonging to both the Counter Intelligence Corps (236) and the Office of Strategic Services. (237) Perhaps he bumped into OSS member David Rockefeller. (238)

By the 1950's, Kissinger and the Rockefellers were working closely. In those days, the Psychological Strategy Board - part of the CIA, coordinated U.S. military Psychological operations. The architect of the Board was Gordon Gray. Gray used Kissinger as a consultant, as did the Rockefeller family. Gray, Kissinger, and various members of the Rockefeller cartel belonged to the Council on Foreign Relations. (239)

The Trials of Henry Kissinger Sunday, November 3 / 7:30 pm / Campbell Hall
"An indispensable primer on U.S. foreign policy." ?Village Voice
This standout of the 2002 Human Rights Watch Festival explores writer Christopher Hitchens? assertions that Henry Kissinger is a war criminal because of his policies towards Cambodia, Chile and Indonesia. (Alex Gibney and Eugene Jarecki, 2002, 80 minutes)

Kissinger was behind a push by the CFR to proliferate nuclear weapons to the four corners of the earth (240) - shortly after Laurence Rockefeller built McDonnell Aircraft Corporation up during and after WW2. (241) McDonnell Douglas now makes nuclear weapons. (242)

Henry Kissinger is on both ends of the Unocal pipeline deal to transport oil and natural gas from the Central Asian republics to the Pakistani coast for sale to China and Japan. (243) No wonder the power elite wanted this guy to head the commission looking into 9-11. No wonder "conflict of interest" and "Exxon" were mentioned (244) - he's making money all over the place on this thing.

In 1973, Zbigniew Brzezinski dreamed up and became the first director of David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission, a group of prominent political and business leaders and academics from the United States, Western Europe and Japan. Its stated purpose was to strengthen relations among the three regions. Kissinger and George Bush were also members. (245)

From left: Peter Sutherland, Sadako Ogata, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Paul Volcker, David Rockefeller Anniversary Evening sponsored by the U.S. Group
December 1, 1998, New York City

In 1997, Brzezinski published "The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives." In it, he writes of a war in Central Asia, and the Pearl Harbor-esque trigger needed to set the final conquest in motion. (246)

"If the middle space can be drawn increasingly into the expanding orbit of the West (where America preponderates, if the southern region is not subjected to domination by a single player, and if the East is not unified in a manner that prompts the expulsion of America from its offshore bases, America can then be said to prevail. But if the middle space rebuffs the West, becomes an assertive single entity [Russia-China], and either gains control over the South or forms an alliance with the major Eastern actor [Japan], then America's primacy in Eurasia shrinks dramatically. The same would be the case if the two major Eastern players were somehow to unite. Finally, any ejection of America by its Western partners from its perch on the western periphery [NATO] would automatically spell the end of America's participation in the game on the Eurasian chessboard, even though that would probably also mean the eventual subordination of the western extremity to a revived player occupying the middle space." - Zbibniew Brzezinski. The Grand Chessboard, p. 35

With war in the region looming {this was written a while ago}, the progeny of Rockefeller's Standard Oil seem to be ready to make their final moves for total mid-east oil domination. Considering all the unanswered questions (247) regarding the origin of the attack on 9-11 and the subsequent "Hunt Osama until we control Afghanistan and then forget about Osama and then invent excuses to take over Iraq" response, is there any doubt that the new war is about anything other than oil ? - aside from an attack on our rights and freedoms, of course.

Perpetual Death From America

By Mohammed Daud Miraki, MA, MA, PhD
Afghan-American Freelance Academic
Mdmiraki@ameritech.net
2-24-3

"If they had killed us once, it would not be so bad. But what the Americans have brought upon us is not only depriving us but our future generations of our basic god given human right, the right to live. They will be killing us for generations to come" (An Afghan Victim of US-UK bombing)

In Afghanistan, elders used to cite an ancient saying "we are made for death and death is made for us" to point to the inescapable reality of facing death sooner or later. However, when this natural phenomenon changes form from its natural course to one tailored by humans, it becomes a tool of life deprivation. This tailored and forced deprivation of life on millions of people took a form of its own when used for cleansing generations of people of their basic human right, their right to live. Specifically, for millions in Afghanistan, their natural course of life and death took a sharp turn when US-UK military used uranium based weapons. This violation of immense proportion transformed the natural process of birth, growth and death into the inescapable horrors of perpetual death.

Perpetual death is characterized by continuous murder of people of a community, state or nation. It takes several forms. It could be exercised by conventional means of imposing war and destruction on people. The Russians have institutionalized this horror in Afghanistan by its invasion of the country in 1979 and sustained perpetual death there by planting millions of mines scattered all over country. The United States government also shares this responsibility after it abandoned the Afghans, leaving them to death and despair and refused to help them by clearing the millions of mines left behind after the Sovietsí retreat. These mines have been maiming and killing Afghans daily since the early 1980s.

However, the form that is exercised currently is the indiscriminate use of the Weapons of Mass Destruction, namely the usage of uranium based weapons. This mode of the perpetual death lives up to its name because it continues to foster deaths of thousands silently and indiscriminately. In fact, the usage of the Weapons of Mass Destruction alters the texture of the ecosystem wherein the victims reside. This ultimately condemns the people living there and future generations to death, and deprives them of their fundamental human right, the right to live.

The perpetrators of this horrible crime are the governments of the United States and that of the United Kingdom. The US and the UK are the only two countries used these horrible weapons indiscriminately in Iraq during the Gulf War and Balkans in the 1990s and in Afghanistan from October 7th, 2001 onward. Meanwhile, based on past experiences with victims of the US-UK bombing in Iraq and the Balkans, every informed source suspected to have similar situation in Afghanistan. Tragically, the US-UK armed forces have used three times more uranium based weapons in Afghanistan than they did in Iraq or in the Balkans. In fact, the types of Weapons of Mass Destruction used in Afghanistan are more potent than those used in Iraq.

This became evident with the recent report by the Uranium Medical Research Center (UMRC), establishing the presence of a mysterious metal in Afghan soil samples and urine samples of victims. The investigation carried out by the two teams of experts, one concentrated on the city of Jalal Abad while the other on the capital Kabul. The two teams gathered data and established the use of uranium-based weapons there. They discovered symptoms in population of illnesses associated with exposure to depleted uranium contamination similar to that in Iraq and Balkans. This added to the curiosity of the investigators and collected soil samples from impact sites to investigate them here in the US. The investigators were also surprised to find high concentration of uranium in the urine of subjects from Jala Abad. In fact, the level of uranium was 400% to 2000%, the highest level of uranium ever recorded in civilian population. Incidentally, the uranium discovered in the urine samples from subjects in Jala-Abad exhibited characteristics more potent than depleted uranium. The report said the following in regards to the impact of the uranium-based weapons:

"Dr. Asaf Durakovic, a professor of nuclear medicine and radiology and a former science adviser to the US military, who set-up the independent UMRC, has been testing US, British, and Canadian troops and civilians for DU and uranium poisoning over the past few years. His findings confirm significant amounts in the subjects' urine as much as nine years after exposure."

The above quote points to the perpetual death imposed on population of any country where the USA and the UK had used uranium-based weapons.

"Durakovic and his team have searched for possible alternative causes, such as geological or industrial sources, or the likelihood of Al Qaeda having uranium reserves. But the uranium found is not consistent with the "dirty bomb" scenario proposed by the US (in which stores of radioactive materials might explain the findings), nor is it connected to DU, or an enriched uranium-type dust that has been found in Iraq and Kosova."

In Iraq, it took up to five years to have any significant effects of exposure to depleted uranium, however, in Afghanistan only after one year, the UMRC research group suspects that 25% of newly born show symptoms of exposure to uranium weapons. The latter factors further strengthen the hypothesis of the UMRC that the US-UK militaries are using uranium ore in their weapons in order to increase its destructive capability. The usage of uranium ore also makes it difficult to trace these weapons to the US-UK militaries and creates a distortion as if the uranium had come from the local uranium deposits. The conclusion of the report was:
"However, marked differences between natural uranium and the uranium used in the metal fragments found in Afghanistan was uncovered with the use of an electron microscope, which revealed the presence of small ceramic particles produced by the high temperatures created on impact. This method of disguising uranium would benefit governments that are under pressure from the growing anti-DU lobby."

"The only conclusion is that the allied forces are now possibly using milled uranium ore in their warheads to maximise [sic] the effectiveness and strength of their weapons, as well as to mask the uranium, hoping that it may be discounted as part of any local natural deposits."

The destructive effects of the uranium-based weapons became evident in the beginning of the bombardments in Afghanistan, when Reuters reported that people died from minor injuries. Public Health Minister Mullah Abbas said:

"Our findings prove that this is true. These bombardments have radioactive rays and chemical materials that also cause cancer." (Reuters, October 29, 2001)

The news report continued with quotes that further added credibility to the claims of many that the US and the UK had used uranium-based weapons in Afghanistan. Dr. Wazir a surgeon at Wazir Akbar Khan Hospital had said the following amidst the bombardments: "We have some patients with superficial injuries with symptoms of chemical weapons." (Reuters, October 29, 2001)

According to Dr. Wazir a 10 years old boy, who had superficial injuries died from respiratory problems after the bombing, while another individual, a 50 years old woman also died from minor injuries. The doctor continues by citing three of his other patients-two girls aged 12 and 15 and a boy aged 15-who had only sustained superficial injuries from the US bombings, died hours later from breathing difficulties and internal bleeding. Dr. Wazir continued:
"These are only three examples. There have been other cases where we suspect chemical weapons have been used. Most of the victims have had respiratory problems and internal bleeding for which there is no apparent cause." (Khalifa.com, October 30, 2001)
At the fighting front north of Kabul, where Taliban forces were pounded night and day, many dead Taliban soldiers had no visible injuries except blood flowing out of their mouths, internal bleeding consistent with uranium based and chemical weapons. Furthermore, many dead Taliban soldiers had severe discoloration of the skin, orange, without being burned, while others had their rifles melted in their hands. This aroused suspicion among Taliban and others that weapons used by the US-UK military were not conventional weapons. Many Taliban soldiers that survived the bombing in the north have died after returning to their native villages in the south and southeast of the country. They had no physical injury upon their death, however, died from internal bleeding and other bizarre symptoms including uncontrolled vomiting, diarrhea, and blood loss in urine and stool. Their families were shocked with disbelieves.

Another bizarre, yet tragic scene was reported near Rish-Khor military base in Kabul. Multiple witnesses reported seeing dead birds on tree branches with blood coming out of their mouths. As one witness put it:

"We were amazed to see all these birds sitting quietly on [tree] branches; but when we shook the tree the birds fell down and we saw blood coming out of their mouths. Then we climbed the trees to see those that were still stuck on tree branches, all of them had bled from their mouths. Two of the birds appeared to be partly melted into the trees branches."

These various claims by witnesses of the US-UK bombing amply establishes that Weapon of Mass Destruction have been used. Amidst the nonstop bombing, Taliban Public Health Minister Mullah Mohammad Abbas had expressed concerns about the utility of depleted uranium by the US in Afghanistan. The Minister was anxious about the long-term contamination of large areas in Afghanistan. He was aware of the US indifference to the well being of people in other regions and said: "

They used uranium in Kosovo and our concern is that they will do the same thing in Afghanistan."

According to Dai Williams, independent DU researcher, there has been 50 to 100 times greater health hazard in Afghanistan than had been in Balkans from the usage of uranium based weaponsódepleted uranium, dirty uranium and uranium ore. As pointed out above, the efforts of UMRC to expose the so-called mystery metal used in the bombing in Afghanistan strengthened by the efforts of other researchers aimed to explore the ongoing ëAfghan War Syndromeí similar to the ëGulf War Syndromeí, which has caused horrific congenital deformities in Iraq. According to the Washington based Center for Defense Information, several hundred tones of weaponsósmart bombs and cruise missilesóenriched with the so-called mystery metal aimed for hard targets such as caves, bunkers and command and control installations were used in Afghanistan. The problem becomes more severe when one compares, the hard target weapons used in Afghanistan to the ones used in Balkans. Dai Williams compares the weapons, namely hard target weapon in Afghanistan to that in Balkans as follows:

"The mystery metal is 50-75% of the weight of the bombs - up to 1.5 tons in the GBU-37 Bunker Buster bombs. If this is DU then target zones will be 50-100x more contaminated than by the pencil-sized 30 mm (0.27 kg) anti-tank shells used in the Balkans War, and more like the DU ammunition fire in the Gulf War. DU oxide is known to travel up to 25 miles by wind so large areas may be affected by each bomb."

What this translates into is more deaths, morphological changes in people, congenital deformities and various types of cancers. In this tragedy, an intertwined horrifically fatal relationship emerges between the individual and his/her environment. Since Afghans, as other people worldwide, live in their respective localities, where they have lived from childhood on, are forced to make painful choices. On the one hand, they do not want to leave their villages and cities because those are their homes. On the other, hand, they can not remain there out of concerns for the safety of their families from uranium poisons as well as further bombings. Tragically, they have no choice and no place to go. Even if they could, for the overwhelming majority it is too late because uranium dust has already determined their fate, diseases and inevitable death.

In their attempts to "smoke-out" the Taliban and Al Qaida, the US has bombed these ancient tunnels and caves that villagers throughout Afghanistan have been using for water supply. This not only worsened the existing situation characterized by drought and lack of water, but it also permanently destroyed the ecological centers in east, southeast and southwestern Afghanistan, and created a perpetual source of disease and death for populations living in those areas. According to Fred Pearceís article ëdying of Thirstí in the New Scientist, November 17, 2001, the US military bombed the kajaki dam, which waters land in southwestern Afghanistan that supports over 1 million people. In the same article, Fred Pearce articulates the following:
"Afghanistan, which is in the third year of an unprecedented drought, relies on a mixture of ancient and modern water-supply systems. As well as relying on the Kajaki dam, the south of the country is peppered with hundreds of water-supply tunnels, often running for tens of kilometres [sic] into hillsides to tap water reserves deep underground. The tunnels, known in Pashto as karez, are now a [sic] target for American warplanes. Military strategists claim that bin Laden and Taliban troops may now be hiding out in the karez, many of which are wide enough to accommodate companies of men. They say the karez made impenetrable hideouts for the mujahedin during their guerrilla war with Soviet occupiers in the 1980s."
Therefore, the traditional systems of water, Karez system of tunnels, whereupon thousands in Afghan countryside rely, have been permanently tailored to serve as sources of perpetual death for locals living there.

These beleaguered souls are probably dead due to depleted uranium dust. If they are alive, they will most likely die from dreadful diseases. This is one example among thousands in the tragedy of perpetual deaths imposed on the poor and gallant people of Afghanistan I wish to conclude with the following quote from one of the victims of US-UK bombing in Afghanistan:

"Tell the Americans, they kill us to sustain your way of life, when they enjoy living, they better think about the 15 members of my family. Tell them that they are guilty. Only if they had conscience, they would know that they are as guilty as their government."

Five days after publicly criticising Federal and local authorities for their treatment of the Somali community in Minneapolis, a Minnesota activist is detained by the FBI and the INS (now part of the Office of Homeland Security) on unspecified charges.
Breaking News, March 31, 2003 Omar Jamal, Executive Director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center, has been detained by the FBI and INS. The exact nature of his charges are yet to be determined. He will have his first hearing on Thursday, April 3rd, at the INS Hearing Offices in Bloomington. Please call The Bloomnington INS at 612-313-9060. They need to know that Jamal's detention is unacceptable. Please also contact appropriate officials, media agencies, organizations and individuals. Omar Jamal has been an outstanding proponent of civil and immagrant rights on a national level. He has been an outspoken critic of recent US government attacks on civil liberties, such as the Patriot Act and illegal detentions and deportations of immagrants. His detention can easily be interpreted as politically motivated, designed to silence his disent.

Chapter 41: The War On Botanical Drugs

2007-06-12T23:03:00.001-07:00

The Rockefeller and Farben cartels are the main forces behind - and main benefactors of - the anti-cannabis laws. By helping to make cannabis illegal back in 1937 - using Rockefeller's employee FDR - and the help of their buddies the DuPonts and the Mellons, (248) they eliminated their natural competition.

{Remember, Rockefeller was business parters with IG Farben (Bayer etc) since the late 1920's ... See also chapter 18 of this history of Big Chemical for more on the Mellon-Rockefeller connections.}

Big drug companies began by selling stimulants - like Merck's cocaine, (249)

... and analgesics - like Bayer's Methadone and Heroin. (250)

As they became powerful enough to create synthetics, they used their power and influence to outlaw the natural. Soon, they had a medicine monopoly.

Cannabis is not only a stimulant, relaxant and analgesic, but it is a safe and effective euphoric, anti-migraine, anti-headache, pro-focus, anti-nauseant, appetite stimulant, immune boosting, muscle-relaxant, anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammation, sleep-inducing, intra-ocular-pressure reducing, anti-convulsant, anti-seizure, anti-stroke and expectorating medicine. (251)

Taking advantage of the "hole" in the market created by cannabis prohibition, Rockefeller and IG Farben companies make hundreds of billions of dollars selling synthetic cannabis substitutes - the global synthetic drug market is estimated to be over 360 billion dollars. (252)

For certain conditions - not least of which concern nausea and loss of appetite - cannabis is the only medicine that works.

Omni magazine reported back in 1982 that, when fully researched, cannabis could replace up to half of all the synthetic drugs currently available. (253) That's 180 billion dollars worth. The other botanicals - when fully researched - could take a healthy chunk out of the rest of the drug market.

It's only ignorance that prevents the "invisible hand of the marketplace" from operating properly and putting all these snakes & oil-salesmen out of business.

Chapter 42: Rockefeller And Farbens Bad Trips

2007-06-12T23:02:00.000-07:00

LSD was invented in 1943 by Albert Hoffman, who was then working for Sandoz (254) - another Farben company. (255)

http://www.ethlife.ethz.ch/cd/bits/ethlife/articles/tages/valium.html

In the 1950's, the Rockefeller Foundation set up Dr. D Ewen Cameron to conduct his electroshock, Thorazine and LSD experiments for the CIA's MK-ULTRA mind control research project. (256)

While infamous drug and shock experiments conducted in Canada- many under the authority of the U.S. "MK ULTRA" program-have generally been attributed to psychiatrist Ewen Cameron (pictured), he did not act alone. At least one close colleague, Heinz Lehmann, was involved in lethal tests but never held responsible.

HOSPITALS OF HORROR: During the 1950s and 1960s, psychiatrists Ewen Cameron, Heinz Lehmann and others experimented on unsuspecting patients. Both were funded by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare and the U.S. Department of Defense. Cameron brutalized and maimed with drugs, electric shock and lobotomy at Allan Memorial Institute (above).

Thankfully, folks like Tim Leary (257) and Ken Kesey (258) got a hold of LSD - one of the few truly useful synthetic drugs - and, instead of it becoming another weapon of war, it instead became a really fun way to spend eight hours on a sunny afternoon.

Unfortunately, not all of big chemical's products have been as useful.

Ciba is one of three Swiss chemical companies (the other two being Geigy and Sandoz) which was known as "Basel AG" and joined with Farben in 1929. (259)

Ciba synthesized Thalidomide in 1953. (260)

Thalidomide was marketed as a sedative and anti-nausea drug for pregnant women - something cannabis had been used for. By 1961, Thalidomide was known to cause horrible birth defects. The disaster gave rise to the 'Kefauver Amendments' to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, giving the FDA the power to set up expensive safety and efficacy tests for both synthetic and botanical drugs. These tests kill millions of rats but tell us nothing about the effects on humans when used properly. Ironically, Thalidomide does not cause birth defects in rats. (261)

Ciba-Geigy Corp., U.S.A also made Ritalin, and was it's primary supplier and manufacturer from 1955 through 1995. (262)

Sold mainly to treat "hyperactivity" (something a good strong indica is also used for), Ritalin is currently made by Novartis Pharmaceuticals. (263)

Novartis is made up of the drug units of Ciba, Geigy and Sandoz - the exact same combination that joined I.G. Farben. (264)

Ritalin's "minor" side effects are: "Abdominal pain; dizziness; drowsiness; headache; insomnia; loss of appetite; nausea; nervousness; weakness." The "major" side effects are "Bruising; chest pain; fever; hair loss; heart irregularities; high or low blood pressure; hives; joint pain; mood changes; palpitations; psychosis; rash; seizures; sore throat; uncoordinated movements. In children: abdominal pain; impairment of growth; weight loss." (265)

Lawyers have filed class action lawsuits against Novartis and against the American Psychiatric Association. The suit charges the drug manufacturer and the APA with conspiring to create a market for Ritalin by targeting millions of children, diagnosing them inappropriately with attention deficit disorder in order to expand the market for the drug. Three federal lawsuits have been filed so far. (266)

In 1962, Dr. Vincent P. Dole began using Methadone as a treatment for heroin addiction. Both drugs were invented by Bayer. (267)

Dr. Dole worked at Rockefeller University. (268)

Methadone is more difficult to withdraw from than heroin (269) and costs more than botanically-derived heroin would in a legal market.

Valium was introduced in 1963 by Roche (270) - as in "Hoffman-LaRoche," the company that I.G. Farben Company bought up right before WW2. (271)

Valium's "minor" side effects, are "Confusion; constipation; depression; diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; fatigue; headache; heartburn; increased salivation; loss of appetite; nausea; sweating; vomiting; weakness." Valium's "major" side effects are "Blurred vision; breathing difficulties; dark urine; difficulty in urinating; double vision; excitement; fever; hallucinations; low blood pressure; menstrual irregularities; palpitations; rash; slurred speech; sore throat; stimulation; tremors; uncoordinated movements; yellowing of the eyes or skin." (272)

Aspartame - an artificial sweetener - was invented in 1965 by G.D. Searle Company. G.D. Searle was bought by Monsanto in 1985. Aspartame has been called the most dangerous food additive on the market. (273)

Monsanto is helping to cover up their Aspartame crimes with the help of their old lawyer Clarence Thomas. (274)

Pfizer - a Rockefeller-linked drug company (275) - makes Viagra. Viagra was launched in mid April 1998 in the US, and was an instant hit to treat impotence and different degrees of erectile dysfunction.. (276)

Today, one is bombarded by commercials with average every-day people bounding about with joy because they got a synthetic hard-on the night before. Viagra is sold supposedly for "disfunction," but the commercials seem to indicate it's true use is "performance enhancement" - everyone in the neighbourhood is dancing about without exception.

"Viagra dependency" seems to be the most likely negative side effect, although some people report being freaked out by the "blue tinge" to their vision. (277)

Chapter 43: The Big Fish Are Always Off The Hook

2007-06-12T23:01:00.001-07:00

Every mishap they create, the Rockefellers exploit. In the late 1940's, Rockefeller lawyers John Foster Dulles and Alan Dulles set up the CIA - arguably, in part, to help co-ordinate drug smuggling for their Wall Street clients ... who are now busy laundering $500 billion plus per year in drug money. (278)

Bill Clinton is a member of Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations. (279) He is also suspected by many to have been involved with cocaine smuggling for the CIA. (280)

From the back cover of "Crossfire: Witness In The Clinton Investigations", by L.D. Brown, a photo of Bill Clinton high on cocaine.

Mena, Arkansaw "train death" victims - killed for observing CIA drug smuggling

So what do they investigate him for? "Suspected blowjob." No one in government ever serves a day in jail for cocaine distribution - no matter how many pounds they get caught with. Just ask Ollie North. (281)

More than 90 percent of the chemicals used to produce street cocaine (such as ether and acetone) come from corporations in the USA. None of these companies are raided - or even assigned a DEA agent. (282)

Instead, people like Louis Armstrong ('31),

Robert Mitchum ('48),

Ray Charles ('61),

the Beatles (7 times between '68 & '84),

Paul arrested at Tokyo Airport in January 1980

Willie Nelson ('95)

and James Brown ('98) all get busted ... over cannabis. (283)

The Rockefeller drug laws - the "toughest drug laws in the nation" - bear the name of Nelson A. Rockefeller, who was governor of the state of New York when he passed them in 1973 and 1974. (284)

That venerable institution, Nelson Rockefeller, with sidekick Bob Dole looking on, vents his political philosophy on a group of student demonstrators who had previously vented theirs. The action occurred in Binghamton, N.Y., on Thursday. Need we ask why Rocky was fingered for the job?

The laws subject even first-time offenders to 15-to-life. New York Democrat and contender for the governorship Andrew Cuomo recently noted that 90% of those sentenced under the Rockefeller laws are black or Hispanic. (285)

The "Partnership for a Drug Free America" funds much of the anti-drug hysteria in the media, often producing television commercials and full-page ads in the New York Times.

Many drug companies fund the Partnership (286) - for example Hoffman LaRoche, Hoechst-Celanese and Ciba-Geigy are tied to Farben (287), and Warner-Lambert, Hoffman LaRoche, Merck and Pfizer are all tied to Rockefeller. (288) Other contributors are Shell Oil, Texaco, Time, GM, Zerox, - all Rockefeller concerns. (289)
