REPPED: The white house is taking steps to kill the FDA reform legislation recently passed in the House of Representatives that would require drug companies to publicly post clinical trial results so that doctors, researchers and the public could review them. According to a report in Inside Health Policy, the white house sent congressional staff an "unofficial statement of administration policy" that opposes this provision in the House bill. |
| The real reason the white house opposes this legislation, in my opinion, is that the white house is far too cozy with drug companies. Big Pharma maintains strong ties with the Bush Administration and helped elect virtually every Republican currently in office. In return, the Bush Administration has worked to pump up the profits of drug companies at every opportunity: His administration made it illegal for the U.S. |
| This is, of course, precisely why the white house strongly opposes the idea. Big Pharma depends on secrecy for its success. If the truth about the widespread dangers of prescription drugs actually came out, consumers would shift to natural remedies in droves! The only thing protecting drug companies from utter financial ruin is a massive shield of deception that prevents anyone from knowing exactly how harmful these synthetic chemicals really are.
Notice that it's only after the fact that we currently learn about dangerous drugs? |
| Remember this: Big Pharma, the white house and the FDA all want you to remain ignorant about the dangers of drugs. The truth can never be allowed to be told, because the truth of the matter is simply too shocking for most Americans to comprehend.
And what is this truth, you ask? It's simple: The pharmaceutical industry is a criminal organization engaged in crimes against humanity. This industry is far more dangerous than any terrorist group, has killed far more Americans than any war (including World War II), and now represents the single greatest threat to the safety of American citizens. |
| Fudging the numbers, sidestepping reality
The white house reportedly opposes the drug safety disclosure requirements for two reasons: 1) It claims the public wouldn't understand the information, and 2) It claims the FDA has no way to validate the accuracy of the information.
Of course, the whole point of publishing this information is to achieve open disclosure so that doctors, scientists, medical staff and the public can exercise additional oversight on the FDA and Big Pharma. |
| Medicare drugs, he's pushed for mandatory "mental health screening" of children that would result in a windfall of profits for psychiatric drugs, he has supported legal immunity for drug companies in cases where patients are killed by drugs like Vioxx, and he has supported the FDA's actions on banning drug imports and protecting monopoly drug pricing in the United States. |

But it was her reaction to Willie's death in 1862 when the Lincolns were in the white house which is most famous. As the First Lady, one might hope she would be a model for a nation filled with parents losing children to disease and war. But instead of accepting a natural period of grief for 11-year-old Willie, she chose to focus on her loss intensely. She ended all white house entertainment and ordered stationery with wide black borders.4 The white house itself was fdled with black crepe.5 Mary Lincoln wanted everyone to know that her grief was especially great. |

The agency thinks it is above the law (much like the white house) and that it must answer to no one. This is the view of its leaders, at least. Many of the people who work inside the agency see the corruption all around them. The problem is, when they try to speak up about it, they get fired or blackballed... or even threatened with legal action by the agency's top "enforcers."
The FDA is more dangerous to Americans than terrorism
As I have stated many times on this site, the FDA is a clear and present danger to the health and safety of the American people. |

At issue is an amendment that Dorgan has added to S1082, one that is vehemently opposed by the authors of the bill and by the white house. Dorgan's amendment calls for Americans to be able to purchase prescription drugs from other countries. This would bring to an end the Big Pharma price-fixing scam that has Americans paying at least twice as much for the same drugs. Hatch unsuccessfully pleaded with Dorgan (while attacking him) to withdraw the amendment. Bush is threatening to veto the entire bill if the Dorgan amendment is part of the legislation. |

From personal medicine cabinets to the white house, the focus recently is on a killer flu epidemic that is going to hit like a huge asteroid. If we trust our medical officials, we will prepare and if we do not trust these people, we still need to prepare because of the possibility that what they are warning us against is simply a long planned biochemical attack.5,6
Many believe that at heart the pharmaceutical companies have, for almost a century, used vaccines as a carrier of poisonous substances to earn profits over dead people's bodies. |

In that position, Graham went on to accelerate many of the internal rule changes that Gray had advocated during his tenure in the white house under Bush Sr.
In 2002, Gray went after the other critical leg of environmental protection: the judiciary. He cofounded the Committee for Justice, which played a central role in supporting President Bush's judicial nominees, many of whom are drawn from the very industries overseen by the EPA. |

In 2005, for example, the Chinese National Petroleum Corporation voluntarily withdrew its bid for energy company Unocal at the request of the white house following a public outcry. Several months later, a hullabaloo erupted over government-owned Dubai World's bid to acquire the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, which held contracts to manage six U.S.-based port facilities. |

REPPED: The white house, always looking for an opportunity to claim good news where there is none, is touting new economic numbers showing U.S. retail sales surged 2.3 percent in January -- the largest monthly gain in over six years. This spending surge, the white house claims, is proof that the American economy is strong.
Only in America is debt spending equated with economic prosperity. Americans, you see, aren't spending money they've actually saved. By and large, they're spending money they don't have (last year's national savings rate was a negative number). |
| With this white house, everything is somebody else's fault.
Leadership is not the practice of passing blame onto others for events gone wrong. Heck, any juvenile can do that. But it takes a person of real courage and integrity to stand up and take responsibility for his own mistakes. Why can't Cheney just admit, "I did something really stupid and accidentally shot the guy!"? The answer is because this white house is all spin and no substance. The washing machine is running, but there's no laundry in there! |

When the company abruptly decided that it needed to throw off the regulations and speed its foods to market, the white house quickly ushered through an unusually generous policy of self-policing.
"Even longtime Washington hands said that the control this nascent industry exerted over its own regulatory destiny through the Environmental Protection Agency, the Agriculture Department and ultimately the Food and Drug Administration was astonishing.

Speaking of outstanding science, a white house spokesperson today said the Bush Administration has never forced former Surgeon Generals to censor their speeches or scientific conclusions, except for requiring that they avoid talking about same-sex couples, stem cells, secondhand smoke, emergency contraception or anything involving climate change. Surgeon Generals were also required to repeat the phrase, "Bush is King" at least three times in every speech.

I interviewed Bo Manderup Jensen, a Dane who is the European Commission's chief liaison to the European Parliament (in America he would be a white house congressional relations officer), in his office in the upper floors of the Spinelli Building, who was intent on explaining how fundamentally the European Union was transforming the old imperatives of the single nation-state. The EU itself, with twenty-seven countries voluntarily entwining their political and economic fates, exemplifies this change. "National sovereignty," Jensen said, "lasts for, oh, about five seconds. |

The pro-war, fear-based propaganda campaigns masterminded by the white house and catapulted into mainstream consciousness by Fox News are now causing Americans to experience consensus mass hallucinations, where an entire city shares a fictitious (in fact, laughable) delusion based on nothing but programmed psychology.
The War on Terror was invented, packaged and marketed by the Bush Administration as a way to control American citizens, and the fact that it can turn an entire city into a mob of delusional, paranoid idiots is downright impressive. |
| I knew the sheeple were easy for the white house to manipulate, but I never imagined they could be programmed to look at simple electronics and see weapons of mass destruction.
Then again, they can also look at an idiot standing behind a podium and think they see a world leader. So who knows what's really possible here. The sky's the limit. In 2004, the whole country thought it actually saw an election. Pretty much everybody thinks they saw a jumbo jet fly into the Pentagon on 9/11, too, but as I've stated previously, it was actually a flying grilled cheese sandwich. |

It doesn't have centralized political control, either -- the white house can't call them up and demand that a story be yanked. That's why Wikipedia is almost always neutral on the issues. And that makes it more accurate than mainstream information sources.
The democratization of information
Wikipedia is about the decentralization of information; it's about the democratization of fact gathering and fact reporting. That's a wonderful phenomenon in the world of information and media. It's something that the traditional media doesn't like to see at all. |
| That's why Wikipedia is really a milestone in the history of the internet and the history of free information, and that's exactly why it is under constant assault by the traditional institutions that influence public opinion in this country, such as the press, the white house, and large corporations.
Real information vs. processed news
Your average hometown newspaper really just pretends to practice genuine journalism. |
| Many of the stories, even in big papers like the New York Times, don't involve any real fact checking; they're just based on information handed to them by the white house or corporations. The press is big on disease mongering, for example. It will promote practically any disease, even if it's completely fictitious, as long as someone from a pharmaceutical company says the disease is real and that people should be afraid of it. Look at the hype over "Restless Leg Syndrome" for an example of the disease mongering carried out by the mainstream media. |

The FDA
FDA approval was not required for the smallpox vaccine. As innocuous as this non-approval might appear, it is precedent-setting for other such acts that can arise from time to time, under the guise of defending our homeland. Actually, as congressional and executive power are used to influence FDA actions, the agency stands to become nothing more than a rubber stamp. |

The answer, of course, is that America has been turned into a police state nation, where the population is controlled by a campaign of fear orchestrated by the white house. The easiest way to keep the sheeple in line is to scare them to death with fabricated tales of foreign enemies trying to "destroy freedom." It's a propaganda campaign that has the intended effect of making the people too scared to question their government anymore. Very few remaining Americans have the courage to march in the streets, or carry a protest sign, or even say what they think. |

Herberman shared some of Lee's skepticism, which few then dared to express. He also realized that it would be necessary to think outside the boxes and circles being proposed.
