The General’s Communiqué
Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III (US Army, Ret.)

Farmers Under Attack…

” These bills will industrialize all farms and insure the farmers are forced to buy chemicals and drugs. Organic is dead. As well as human control over the food supply. As well as health.”

Linn Cohen-Cole

I have asked our correspondent, Linn Cohen-Cole, to bring you the following urgent and time sensitive message. I cannot emphasize strongly enough that food freedom and safety – real safety – is essential to any real health or freedom.

Like the freedoms under attack through the urgent – and stealthy – creation of the comprehensively invasive spy system $3.5B ” Smart Grid” – http://rfdamerica.com/?p=333 – rushed into implementation within 60 days of the signing of the Stimulous Bill, so the freedoms of our farmers and our food rights are under massive, well organized attack.

Please read what Linn writes and then take action as the Mouse Warriors which we need to be to secure our food, our freedoms and our health:

“We have less than two weeks to stop the take over of all farms and ranches, including Organic ones.

“We need to rally immediately, reaching out to friends, contacts, customers, etc.

“The new administration is pushing new farm controls through Congress as fast as possible and have coordinated the bills so there will be no debate and the committee meetings are closed.

“Transparency, change, undoing Bush’s regulations, giving the public time to comment, grassroots anything? Our entire food system and thus our health is being decided without the public knowing [precisely as the Economic Stimulus Package and its horrific contents were rushed through Congress – Gen. Bert] and those who do know have zero access and the media is absent and they are moving at warp speed to sew this up.

“We need to put this information out, showing the article as you do so people are more likely to read it. What we are doing is explaining how the game is going to be played. We are not seeing a direct, frontal assault on organic farming but an insidious process of “infecting” organic farming…

“Example: imagine Joel Salatin’s wonderful organic farm under the direction of the USDA, with detailed instructions on what he must feed and when, how he must medically “treat” his animals and with what, what he must “spray” and when … you get the picture.

“These bills will industrialize all farms and insure the farmers are forced to buy chemicals and drugs. Under these bills “Organic” is dead. As well as human control over the food supply. As well as health.

“Schoolmarm approach to punishing farmers out of farming.
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Monsanto-and-the-Schoolmar-by-Linn-Cohen-Cole-090214-935.html

Bills being rushed through Congress, set to destroy organic farming.
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Monsanto-bills-being-rushe-by-Linn-Cohen-Cole-090217-758.html ”

Thanks, Linn. Natural Solutions is always ahead of the pack protecting your freedom because you are always there to act. We thank you. These bills are dangerous in the extreme to health AND to freedom.

Here is the Action Item so you can send an unmistakable message to your representatives in the Senate and the House. Please click your Mouse and take action NOW!

“Mouse Warrior” Action Items

Congress, the President and other decision makers must get your message loud and clear! Now that Health Freedom made it among the Top Ten social issues on Change.org and Change.gov, we are ready to push even harder. That’s where these Health Freedom Action eAlerts make a difference. Please take these actions:

1. Tell Congress “No” on the farm control bills! HR 875

We’ve set up an Action Item for you to send an unmistakable message to your representatives in the Senate and the House. We must educate Congress that you do not want organic and small farmers regulated out of existence.

You do not want “Big Agra” regulations, perhaps necessary to protect the public when dealing with large scale agra business, applied to organic and small family farms and ranches or to natural and organic food products including Dietary Supplements.

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

2. Tell the President about Change: Health Freedom is Our First Freedom!

You made “Health Freedom Is Our First Freedom” one of the top 10 items on America’s mind with your votes to Change.org. Now we have to make that message resonate through the White House halls.

Will the new President listen? Only if we tell him, in our hundreds of thousands! We need your help in making this campaign “go viral” to “infect” the Internet with health freedom! Please forward to your entire list and ask them to ACT NOW!

Click here to tell President Obama that we want real change — which means more freedom and choice in our lives, not more control over needed medical treatments by yet another overblown, impossible to approach Federal bureaucracy!

3. Right to Use ~ Right to Choose Use Nano Silver

Thanks to Mouse Warriors, the Deadline for Comments has been extended to March 20, 2009 by the EPA. We won that skirmish, but the war is still raging.

Retain the Right to Choose Nano Silver. Tell EPA Not to topical Ban Nano Silver of Any Type. Whether you use Nano Silver or not (and we certainly do!), let’s make sure that we have the right to make that choice!

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26405

4. Divest FDA/USDA of Food Regulation Authority

– and all government agencies of their often misused power to deny us access to wholesome nutrition and natural remedies. Protect Food from FDA/USDA Regulation!

Congress is about to create a new agency for “Food Safety”. Our analysis is that it will be worse than both FDA and USDA combined. We need to get food out of Federal hands, and quickly. Just think what the new farm bills, coupled with a new industry-controlled, agency will do to your food, your health and your freedom. Having contemplated that horrific outcome, take action and ask everyone you know to do the same.

Freedom in a Cup™
Taste Like?

www.ValleyoftheMoonCoffee.org

Mmmm! Do You Want Your Friendly Food™ Whole or Ground?

Valley of the Moon™ Coffee is Certified Friendly Food™
Friendly to You, the Environment, the Workers!

Why Coffee? How are Coffee and Farms and Freedom and Health linked?

Because Natural Solutions Foundation understands that the food we eat is the food we grow and unless we take back – globally – the production of food, there can be no health freedom. Literally.

How does that work? Check out www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org to learn more and get involved. And while you are doing it, try sipping and supporting. Do both at www.Valley of the MoonCoffee.org

Sipping Valley of the Moon Coffee, our first Certified Friendly Food, produced by the Natural Solutions Foundation in our quest to find solutions to the problems farmers try to solve by using dangerous chemicals, and then teach others to produce wholesome products for their markets – that’s us, in this case, the coffee drinkers. More foods – and techniques for clean foods – to come.

Supporting because each bag you buy (or sell – see below) supports the work of the Natural Solutions Foundation. You see, we work on many fronts at the same time and we need your support to protect your freedoms.

Tomorrow General Bert and I will be flying to Germany to participate in some documentary filming on the Codex/Health Freedom battle and present “The Genocidal Feast” to a large and important meeting in Switzerland.

This Powerpoint presentation will be available on a free webinar soon. Your coffee purchases and donations at www.ValleyoftheMoonCoffee.org help make trips like this possible. And the next trip, of course, is to Codex. We’ll need to fill up the coffers a bit so that we do not miss this next, important, meeting in Canada this coming Spring the way we missed the Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) in South Africa late last year.

I forgot a word in my list, true, you can sip and support, but you will find that we should add “savor” to the list.

EVERYONE who has tasted our Valley of the Moon™ Coffee agrees that it is outstanding. www.ValleyoftheMoonCoffee.org

1. For each donation of $25 we’ll say “Thank you!” with an 8 oz bag (plus shipping) of Valley of the Moon™ Coffee AND a $20 tax deduction certificate. Order 4 or more bags to the same address and we’ll throw in the shipping.

Video of “Health Freedom is Our First Freedom”
Counsel’s Corner
Ralph Fucetola, JD

Part One: http://www.youtube.com/v/uWZQD_0ZMDc&hl=en&fs=1

Part Two: http://www.youtube.com/v/tJldQiJKfzM&hl=en&fs=1

Natural Solutions Foundation has prophetically been ringing the warning bell about the importance of the relationship between farms, food and freedom for several years now. That’s why we set up the revolutionary, and very necessary, Valley of the Moon™ Eco Demonstration Project, www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org, in Panama to help correct the abuses of our food and our freedom globally.

The new “Food Fascism” bills under consideration which will control all food production here in the US should make it clear why we chose to set this project up outside the US – we saw this coming.

Tragically, our warnings of the centrality of this connection and the attacks on both our food and our freedoms, to say nothing of our health, are proving very accurate, indeed, as the new administration, backed by “Advisors” like Tom Daschel and members of the Administration like Secretary of Agriculture Vilsek, an old “Monsanto” hand, are proving both accurate and critically urgent.

Part of the battle for our health and freedom is through our food. But the issues are even more complex, as you know if you have been following our Health Freedom Action eAlerts and Health Freedom Blog for any time.

I was honored to address a Health Freedom Rally in New Jersey recently and was able to share the current state of the battle with the Health Freedom Advocates (and perhaps the infiltrators there.

The resulting two part film is an educational tool which I invite you to watch and share widely. My new 2 part video made while I informed other health freedom advocates at a Health Freedom Rally – Hunterdon Central High, Flemington, NJ can be seen now at:

http://vitaminlawyerhealthfreedom.blogspot.com/2009/02/health-freedom-is-our-first-freedom.html

Now that you have watched it, please send this video, and this Health Freedom Action e Alert, to your entire list.

Let people know that they can sign up for their own copies of the Health Freedom Action e Alert at http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=187 . This information needs to become a “Freedom Virus” and we, the Mouse Warriors, can make that happen.

And please take a look at this important article by the former Lt. Governor of New York, about how Health Freedom is being limited by new laws being passed in Congress including the one signed earlier this week by President Obama: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=2060

Thanks!

Dr. Rima Recommends:
If Not Now, When? If Not We, Who?
Tell it to the President – And Congress!
Using Action Alerts to Defend Food, Freedom

There does seem to be so much happening all at the same time. We at Natural Solutions Foundation do not think that is an accident. The momentum of the new administration is even more dangerous than the lame duck deregulation momentum of the Bush administration seeking to leave presents for their supporters and funders, Big Business, before they left office.

The new White House is determined to extend and expand that gifting by driving all doctors out of the business of independent thought or service to their patients through the new super bureaucracy which will determine your health options – all of them, while removing any shreds remaining of your health privacy.

For that matter, any other privacy you might have had will be dissolved in the acid brine of the Smart Grid proposed for implementation within 60 days.

And any persistence of Organic Farming is slated for extinction, too, just like your access to Nano Silver and other health options.

We know you don’t want that and neither do we. That’s why we are sending you more emails than usual. We need your help and your vigilance. Now and in the future.

In the Action Item section of this emailing we list about a half dozen actions you can take to help educate the new President and Congress about your need for health freedom so we can find natural solutions to many pressing issues.

Recently I wrote about the psychology and physiology of brainwashing and what you can do to resist mind control misinformation aimed a persuading you that your loss of health freedom doesn’t matter.

You know it matters! If you haven’t read that article, please do. http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=1940

And here are our two most recent Action Items. Taking these actions matters too.

1. Tell the President:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26671

2. Tell your Congressional Representatives:

Nano Silver: Big Market Buster
Why Would Nano Silver Be Attacked by the Government?

1. Nano silver is cheap, safe and effective. That’s good for us, but takes power and income out of the hands of the Illness Control Industry. You’ve noted how tightly your doctor and you will be controlled in all of your health choices in the new legislation which was just signed. Natural Medicine will, under this tyranny, be eliminated, Nano silver along with it.

2. More than 50% of all antibiotics are used in rearing sick animals for food. They are packed so closely together and so badly fed and treated, that they would die before you had a chance to eat them without these antibiotics. This is an enormous market and Nano silver can eliminate it.

3. Whatever plague is thrown our way by the genetic geniuses who are weaponzing organisms (or by the insanity of modern farming and weapons development) will likely be susceptible to Nano silver, making it useless as a population control mechanism.

So, while you still can get it, we recommend some really great Nano silver here:

www.nutronix.com/naturalsolutions

Go to Products and then scroll down to Silver Solutions (bottom of left side menu).

Have you considered the possibility of using this great product to replace or augment your income? If this is an interesting idea, go to www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions and click on the “Opportunities” tab.

Why not assist the people you know in getting an outstanding product and make some income while doing it? You’ll be supporting your customers, your income and the Natural Solutions Foundation at the same time.

One of the issues in any sales situation, of course, is support. Obviously, the Trustees of the Natural Solutions Foundation would love to provide product support for you, but we are otherwise occupied.

So the founders of Nutronix, the Bremners, have graciously agreed to do that for us. That means that if you do decide to become a distributor of the Nano Silver product (and others on their site, of course, if you like them), the people who run the company will be your upline support. We really appreciate their help in this matter and know you will enjoy working with them, as we do.

Nano silver has a very long shelf life, years really, so you can safely lay in your supply NOW!

General Bert told you that we are speaking at an important conference in Europe. Make no mistake: we never, but never, leave home without silver. We believe that it is one of the most important reasons that we virtually never get sick and if we do, get better very, very quickly.

Please share this health freedom information with your friends and contacts and ask them to help protect food and freedom, too. Let them know that they can get their very free subscription to the Health Freedom Action eAlerts at http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=187.

Thanks!

GMO Files: Monsanto’s Rural Cleansing: Hall of Shame

February 18th, 2009

Think GMOs don’t impact you because you grow 100% of your own food in a closed environment greenhouse to control all pollination? Think again. If you live in the US, your world is being reshaped in the image of Monsanto. If you don’t like that image, get your head out of the sand in your greenhouse and get busy defending both the American value system and your food, along with your society, from this malign influence.
And, if you tend to think that the Federal Government won’t let this happen, recall that Secretary of Agriculture Vilsek is a Monsanto man.
This kind of atrocity is just fine with the GMO-friendly Federal Government which clearly cannot be trusted to regulate our food. It is imperative to divest the FDA and USDA of their food regulatory responsibilities and get food regulation back into the hands of those of us who eat the food, at the State level. Click here, http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/112/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26405, to tell Congress to get the Federal Government out of our pantries and off our dinner plates before these agencies do even more harm.
So get involved now.
Sign up for the Natural Solutions Foundation Health Freedom Action eAlerts, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=187, and ride the Freedom Mouse hard.

And remember these battles against Big Pharma and Big Biotech cost money. Make your tax deductible donation to the Natural Solutions Foundation by clicking here,http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189 . Do it now. Time is short and the enemy is large.

Monsanto Investigator in Illinois Laughs They Are Doing ‘Rural Cleansing’
by Linn Cohen-Cole
www.opednews.com

As of last night, a US marshal, 2 state police and a county police are all over Mr. Hixon’s area, serving notices to farmers that they are being sued by Monsanto. They arrive in pairs, with two cars parked a quarter mile and half mile down the road. They’ve served 3 so far and said “a bunch more are coming.” No telling how many will be served since Hixon has between 200-400 farmers he cleans seeds for and these farmers have been repeatedly threatened by Monsanto thugs for the last two months, getting “visits,” letters, and calls daily.

Farmers report that a Monsanto investigator laughed that they were doing “rural cleansing.”

Steve Hixon is a seed cleaner in southern Illinois. He has equipment that takes the plant materials and “cleans” it so that the seeds are separated out and can be given back to farmers to save for the next season. It’s a mechanized step up from farmers hand picking seeds off their own plants, which, with hundreds of acres – or even 10 – would not be easy to do.

Mr. Hixon has the non-distinction of being attacked by Monsanto. He is far from alone. Monsanto has been picking off seed cleaners across the Midwest, having already done its thuggish thing in Pilot Grove, Missouri, and in Indiana, attacking Maurice Parr, destroying business for all of them.

Mr. Parr reports that when he was sued, the first think out of the judge said was how “honored to have a fine company like Monsanto in my courtroom.”

“Shortly after someone broke into Mr. Hixon’s office and he found his account book on his truck seat where he would never have left it, evey one of his remotely located and very scattered customers had three men (described as goons with “no necks”) arrived at each farm, going out onto it without permission … Mr. Hixon and state police who were called in, believe a GPS tracking device may have been put on Mr. Hixon’s equipment.” Click here.

In 2002, when Mr. Hixon was at the state legislature for a meeting, he said he told a Monsanto representative there, “If you guys wnt to tak over the seed industry so bad, you ought to buy guys like me out.” The Monsanto agent is supposed to have responded “We’d rather put you out of business, it’s more fun that way.”

Mr. Hixon says that when he is cleaning seeds, he is pouring $13,000 a hour into the local economy, which right now is being hit. A fence company has gone out of business and other businesses are in trouble. And in using seeds that have been cleaned, those seeds have carbon footprint, by Mr. Hixon’s figures, less than a fraction of 1% of that of GMO seeds delivered over 1000s of miles at 5 miles a gallon that semis require to run.

But Monsanto’s GM-soy and other seeds have a much heavier carbon footprint that the absurd transport of seed across the country by semis. Petroleum-based pesticides are the essence of genetic engineering, and Monsanto has a poorly known history of their relation to warfare.

“Huge excesses of nitrogenous compounds that accumulated during World War I provided the basis for the beginnings of the mass production of synthetic nitrate fertilizers. DuPont — now the sole owner of the world’s largest seed company, Pioneer HiBred — was the largest manufacturer of gunpowder in the United States during the early 19th century and the first World War. Monsanto increased its profits 100 fold during the World War, from $80,000 to well over $9 million per year, supplying the chemical precursors for high explosives such as TNT.

“In the 1930s, chemists working for the German company Bayer discovered the highly poisonous properties of organophosphate compounds. …. As all of German industry became absorbed into the growing Nazi war machine, Bayer’s organophosphate compounds were developed simultaneously as agricultural pesticides and as nerve gases for military use. These included such notorious chemical warfare agents as sarin, soman and tabun gases, all of which are still manufactured today. …

“In the 1930s, scientists at the Swiss J. R. Geigy Company were searching for new compounds to disinfect seeds and prevent moths from feeding on wool. … These researchers’ key discovery was that DDT … could accomplish both of their desired ends and more. … DDT was seen as the “atom bomb of insecticides,” capable of permanently eliminating various pest species.

“After World War II, DDT became the most widely applied chemical in human history …. The widespread use of DDT — for both agricultural and household uses — led to a dramatic shift in the chemical industry’s approach to pest control … was in many ways a direct outgrowth of its wartime origins. …

“During the 1960s, Monsanto was a leading manufacturer of the herbicide ‘Agent Orange,’ which was used by U.S. military forces to obliterate the dense jungles of Vietnam. Today Monsanto’s Roundup-family herbicides play a central role in the U.S. “drug war” via its widespread use to eradicate coca and poppy plants in Colombia and other countries….”

The shift to genetically engineered food seems a welcome change from such a history. But it appears there has been no change, only a more thorough and disguises means of ensuring its sales.

“Of all of Monsanto, DuPont and Dow’s agricultural products, genetically engineered food crops might appear to be the least tainted with immediate wartime origins. But this technology emerged from a period when the future of chemical agriculture appeared very much in doubt. With the rapid expansion of the agrochemical industry during the post-World War II era, these companies and their European counterparts had established a profound degree of control over agricultural practices. But as public pressure and the weight of scientific evidence curtailed the use of DDT and many other chlorinated pesticides in the 1970s, executives and corporate scientists saw the potential for limitless advances — and ever-expanding marketing potential — in the incorporation of technological advances into the genetics of seeds. During the 1990s, Monsanto alone spent nearly $8 billion acquiring leading commercial seed suppliers in the United States and internationally; DuPont and others quickly followed suit, leading to today’s widespread proliferation of genetically engineered food crops.” Click here.

Today, in Illinois, our federal agents and police, working on behalf of Monsanto, are terrorizing … whom? Drug dealers? Financiers who have stolen this country blind? The people who took us to war based on lies and have profited while thousands of American and 100s of thousands of Iraqi have died? No. Our tax dollars are being used to turn our marshals and police into Monsanto agents to terrorize our disappearing farmers.

Terror is palpable in rural America. It defines American farming communities now.

Monsanto, with its history of warfare and creating chemicals to “cleanse” both enemies and agricultural pests of any area desired, appears to bring this power and method of thinking to all it touches.

“Rural cleansing” is its stated goal, and our farmers the pests to be eliminated.

Where is the Illinois ACLU? Where is Amnesty?

FDA Files: HHS Inspector General Finds FDA Scientists/Science Riddled with Conflict of Interest

February 18th, 2009

Click here (http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/112/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26405) to tell Congress to divest the corrupt and inefficient FDA and USDA of their food regulatory responsibilities before they kill more of us!
In the last in a long, long string of documented failures, shortcomings and tragic errors by the FDA, a recent report documents that the FDA is not only prejudiced and biased, but so riddled with conflits of interest, now not even considered a problem at the failed agency, that there is no way to trust the honesty or accuracy of the decisions of the agency.
While this study looks at one aspect of the impact on drug regulation, food regulation is the same, only worse.
There, the same problems apply, along with the intentional down-regulation of food to support the pharmaceutical markets which profit from the poor drugs approved by the drug regulatory side of the FDA house since degraded food makes people sicker quicker, and makes the profit picture derived from the drugs to treat those illnesses stronger longer.

The picture is a dismal one but there is at least one solution: divest the FDA (and its equally corrupt partner in food crime, the USDA) of all food responsibilities. Rather than creating an new agency, as is currently being discussed by Congress, which will not deal with the fundamental issues and their deadly consequences, the answer, be believe, is to divest the Federal Government of all food regulatory responsibility and instead turn those responsibilities over to the unit of government which the people can impact: State governments.

This is an urgently important concept and must be enacted, even as numerous States are asserting their soverignty from the corrupt and dangerous United States.

Please support the Natural Solutions Foundation in its efforts to make food save once again, protecting food and freedom.

You can donate to the Natural Solutions Foundation at http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189. All US donations are tax deductible.
Spread the word and ask everyone you know to join the Health Freedom eAlerts, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=187, for up to the minute information and Action Items.

Please take a moment to help us Divest the US Government of its food regulatory responsibilities here http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/112/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26405 and then spread the word!

FDA Not Effectively Monitoring Investigator Conflicts of Interest, HHS Watchdog Says

Neil Osterweil
Information from Industry
Assess clinically focused product information on Medscape.
Click Here for Product Infosites – Information from Industry.

January 16, 2009 — More than one third of new drug marketing applications approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were missing information about potential conflicts of interest for clinical trial investigators, which could allow bias to creep into the approvals process, a government report released this week has found. The FDA has said that it agrees with most of the report’s findings.

Federal regulations require clinical trial sponsors to collect financial information from investigators at the outset of trials, and to report on their efforts to minimize the possibility that financial self-interest could color trial results, notes the report from the office of Daniel R. Levinson, Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Trial sponsors — usually the company developing or licensing the drug or device in question — only have to disclose this information when they apply for marketing approval, and even then there’s a loophole: they can claim that they “acted with due diligence” to collect financial information from each investigator to satisfy regulations.

Report Found Few Financial Disclosures

Yet 42% of new drug marketing applications filed in fiscal year 2007 were short on investigator financial disclosures, and in fully one fifth of cases where such information was disclosed, FDA reviewers took no action, the watchdogs reported.

“In FY 2007, only 1% of clinical investigators disclosed a financial interest,” the report’s authors write. “By way of comparison, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that between 23% and 28% of academic researchers had financial interests in medical companies. Further, we found a number of limitations in FDA’s oversight, leaving FDA unable to determine whether sponsors submit financial information for all clinical investigators.”

In addition, the HHS inspector general’s staff found that FDA can’t verify whether relevant information has been collected on all investigators because of incomplete data and the lack of on-site verification procedures.

Collection and review of such information should be routine, as should appropriate action when required, and all of it should occur before a trial ever gets off the ground, contends a former FDA reviewer interviewed by Medscape Medical News.

“You want to intervene at a time when there’s an ability to do something about it,” said John H. Powers III, MD, now an assistant clinical professor of medicine at the George Washington University (GWU) and University of Maryland Schools of Medicine.

“To have a situation where the sponsor has already done the trial, submits the information, and then the FDA says ‘you have conflicts of interest with your investigators,’ puts the sponsor in a bad spot, the investigator in a bad spot, and it puts the FDA in a bad spot. It seems to me that if you’re going to regulate here that you should do it a proactive manner,” he said.

“Management Failure”

Federal regulations concerning drug marketing approvals require that “adequate measures are taken to minimize bias on the parts of the subject, observers, and analysts of the data,” Dr. Powers noted, yet one of the most common sources of potential bias — investigator relationships with industry — are overlooked or ignored.

“This is a management failure,” said David B. Ross, MD, PhD, a former FDA reviewer who is now a clinical assistant professor at GWU. “The managers who have set this policy have done nothing to enforce it and there are no consequences, and the reason is that nobody thinks it matters; they’re kind of doing this for show.”

When Dr. Ross was at the FDA, he and other reviewers warned agency management that a study used to support approval of the antibiotic telithromycin (Ketek, sanofi aventis) was marred by per-patient payments to investigators of up to $400, and, in at least one case, by fraud on the part of the investigator who enrolled the most patients (she was later sentenced to 57 months in federal prison), and by “serious violations in trial conduct” in 9 other trial sites, leading to 4 referrals for criminal investigation.

Despite the warning, and despite ongoing concerns about reported hepatotoxicity from the drug, FDA management failed to take substantive action in response to reviewer concerns, a failure that Dr. Ross said is emblematic of the agency’s apparent indifference to the possible influence of investigator financial relationships with industry.

“…CDER [the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research] is not doing that good of a job, and with what they do track, what are they doing with it? It’s like having laws against speeding and not writing any tickets,” Dr. Ross said.

Relationships Can Have Profound Effect

Eric G. Campbell, PhD, an associate professor at the Institute for Health Policy and the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, said that financial considerations — whether honoraria, consulting fees, stock options, or direct payments — can have a profound effect on which trials get published or promoted.

“The important thing to remember is that relationships with industry — they may not always be conflicts — are ubiquitous in all aspects of medicine, medical research, and medical regulatory affairs,” Dr. Campbell said. “If a study is funded by a drug company to investigate its product and if the investigator also has relationships with that company, you can be darn sure that if the study makes it to publication, it’s going to favor that product,” he said.

Like Dr. Ross and Dr. Powers, Dr. Campbell pointed out that lax or absent regulatory oversight implies a lack of concern and a tacit acknowledgment of a lack of enforcement of existing rules.

“The bottom line is that if you don’t report stuff and nobody pays attention to whether it’s reported or not, you’re just signaling that it’s not important and that nobody cares, and clearly that’s the message that FDA is sending out,” he told Medscape Medical News.

Key Findings

The report, prepared by staff from the Chicago regional Office of Evaluations and Inspections in the HHS Inspector General’s Office, was based on reviews of financial forms, attachments, and accompanying FDA review notes for all 118 marketing applications approved by the agency in fiscal year 2007. The watchdogs also reviewed FDA regulations and guidance, conducted structured interviews with FDA officials, and surveyed FDA reviewers.

The key findings were:

* 1% of clinical investigators (206 of 29,691) disclosed a financial interest.
* FDA does not have a complete list of clinical investigators and does not use on-site inspections to confirm that submitted financial information is complete, meaning that reviewers cannot determine whether sponsors have submitted financial information for all clinical investigators
* 42% of FDA-approved marketing applications were missing financial information, 23% of approved marketing applications were missing a certification or disclosure form or required attachments, and in 28% of applications, sponsors used the due-diligence exemption to indicate that they were unable to provide complete financial information.
* FDA did not document a review of any financial information for 31% of marketing applications. Reviewers who followed a review template were more likely to include financial information than those who did not.
* In 20% of applications with disclosed financial conflicts, neither the FDA nor sponsors took action.

The Inspector General’s recommendations for the FDA were as follows:

* Ensure that sponsors submit complete financial information for all clinical investigators.
* Use a complete list of clinical investigators to check that sponsors have submitted financial information for all.
* Require that sponsors submit financial information for clinical investigators as part of the pretrial application process.
* Check that sponsors have submitted all required attachments to financial forms.
* Update guidance to sponsors regarding the due-diligence exemption.
* Add a review of financial information to the on-site inspection protocol.
* Ensure that reviewers consistently review financial information and take action in response to disclosed financial interests.
* Require that all centers consistently use a template that includes a prompt to document a review of financial information.
* Provide additional guidance and training to reviewers.

FDA Replies

In response to a request from Medscape Medical News for comment, FDA spokesperson Karen Riley sent a statement noting that the agency agreed with all of the HHS recommendations except the one stating that the FDA should request information from clinical investigators prior to trial initiation.

“The intent of clinical investigator financial disclosure is not to discourage investigators from being included in the study,” the FDA response says. “Rather, it allows sponsors to identify and manage potential conflicts throughout the development of a regulated product, from design through the conduct of the clinical trials.”

The statement goes on to say that this recommendation for financial disclosures before trial initiation could needlessly add to “the complexity and cost of the clinical trial enterprise with no commensurate gain in the protection of human subjects or the quality of the data.”

This pretrial disclosure recommendation is not meant to be punitive or burdensome, Dr. Powers said, but it recognizes the fact that bias, whether intended or not, can slip into the process whenever money is involved.

“When people bristle at regulations, I always think of James Madison’s quote,” he remarked. “Madison said that ‘If all men were angels, no government would be necessary.’ The reasons why we do these things is not because everybody is inconsistent or immoral: it’s because some people are. It seems onerous to people who have no intention of doing the wrong thing, but unfortunately these rules are written for people who aren’t going to do the right thing.”

HIV: Scientific Fraud Concocted to Cover Up GMO’s Deadly Impact?

February 18th, 2009

HIV kills people. Sure enough. HIV “Medications” kill people, too, and make a lot of money while they do. That’s sure enough, too. But what if the rumors circulating that the “HIV Virus” is not the causative factor in HIV/AIDS are true? What if HIV is another political tool, manufactured in the biological weapon laboratories of the US and its insane allies in bio-engineered death? And what if the proof were presented to you.
What would you do?
Where would you take that information?
If you continue reading, you may have to confront those decisions.
I hope you do continue reading.
Then let’s talk.
Write to us at dr.laibow@gmail.com with “HIV SCAM” in the subject line and let’s figure out collectively where to go from here.
And if you don’t think for a moment that this battle will take resources, think again.
So I am asking you to include in the email you send some suggestions for resources: human time (volunteer, research assistance, writing, website, etc.), financial resources (donations, fund raisers), dissemination strategies, resources to bring to the table (scientists, organizers, musicians, etc.).
You can donate to the Natural Solutions Foundation at http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189. All US donations are tax deductible.
Spread the word and ask everyone you know to join the Health Freedom eAlerts, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=187, for up to the minute information and Action Items.

Yours in health and freedom,

THE AIDS APOSTATES

Anthony Brink

“To overturn orthodoxy is no easier in science than in philosophy, religion,
economics, or any of the other disciplines through which we try to
comprehend the world and the society in which we live.”

Ruth Hubbard US biologist b.1924

Considering how AIDS saturates our public discourse, galvanises our
politicians, thrills our gee-whiz journalists, inspires our musicians,
worries our clergy, agitates our AIDS-activist lawyers, perturbs the judges
of even our highest court, engages the South African Law Commission’s
energies in cooking up imaginative new bills, dominates our medical research
effort, infuses exciting new relevance into tired careers in virology
departments, and siphons off our tax rands into the pockets of our condom
missionaries and ‘AIDS counselors’ proselytizing indefatigably to a stubborn
public, your regular guy might be excused for believing that our country and
the world were in the throes of a dire public health crisis, a new Black
Death, and for thinking that the fact of it was as certain as any in science
about which there obtains a universal consensus.

In fact, hundreds of scientists of the highest rank disagree with the
HIV-AIDS causation hypothesis. They think ‘AIDS’ as a medical construct is a
passing fad, a fashionable new name for age-old ills, and that boiled down,
AIDS is just money spinning political kitsch. In their most assiduous
dissents they emphasize that ‘HIV’ has never been isolated under the
well-settled rules for viral isolation, assert that ‘HIV’ has never been
shown to exist as an infectious entity of exogenous origin, and demonstrate
that every protein claimed uniquely to be constituent of ‘HIV’ is actually
cellular, not viral – in other words, that all HIV-positive test results are
false positives. In short, they consider the HIV-AIDS paradigm a scientific
blunder of biblical proportions, and its experts foolish quacks. These AIDS
dissidents include professors emeriti at the pinnacle of their specialities
in cell-biology, virology and related fields. They also include leading
mathematicians, actuaries, and law and history professors. Among them are
two exceptionally distinguished Nobel laureates in our time, Walter Gilbert
(Chemistry 1980), and the Einstein of modern biology, Kary Mullis (Chemistry
1993).

Dr Peter Duesberg, professor of cell-biology, University of California at
Berkeley, member of The National Academy of Sciences: Before Duesberg’s
wrecking-ball challenge to Gallo’s HIV-AIDS theory was published as an
invited paper in the prestigious journal Cancer Research in 1988, Gallo had
observed, “No one knows more about retroviruses than Peter Duesberg.” Once
acclaimed as a widely published and extensively cited Nobel candidate, but
now ‘delegitimated’ as a scientist, Duesberg was the recipient of the
largest annual research grant in biology for years – awarded for the pursuit
of whatever avenue of scientific enquiry took his fancy. Stripped of his
grant and his post-graduate classes, practically barred from researching and
publishing, and reduced to chairmanship of his faculty’s annual picnic
committee, he continues to point out the fundamental anomalies, deficiencies
and paradoxes of the 15 year old theory that the 29 old diseases renamed
AIDS in the presence of HIV antibodies could have any causal link to a
retrovirus. However, Duesberg finds himself increasingly alone in the AIDS
dissident camp too, eclipsed by Eleni Papadopulos-Eleopulos et al (below)
whose more fundamental tack in impeaching the HIV-AIDS theory is winning
over its best heterodox scientists, most recently, Kary Mullis (below),
pathology and epidemiology specialist Gordon Stewart (below), and Etienne de
Haarven, pathology professor emeritus at Toronto, renowned for his published
work in the electron photomicrography of viruses.

Eleni Papadopulos-Eleopulos, bio-physicist, department of medical physics,
Royal Perth Hospital, Australia: Collaborating with, among others, John
Papadimitriou, a practicing pathologist and professor at University of
Western Australia’s medical school, David Causer, senior physicist, head of
the department of medical physics and professor at Royal Perth Hospital, and
Valendar Turner, consultant emergency physician at the Royal Perth Hospital,
Papadopulos-Eleopulos has raised the most radical and dramatic challenges to
the HIV-AIDS theory, by highlighting the lack of a proper gold standard for
the HIV antibody tests, in that unlike other known viruses, HIV has never
been isolated according to the classical procedure for the isolation of
viruses, often referred to as the Pasteur Rules.

Dr Walter Gilbert, formerly molecular-biology professor at Harvard: One of
contemporary science’s most outstanding and accomplished scientists, Gilbert
won his Nobel for inventing the now foundational modern technique for DNA
sequencing. He considers Duesberg to be “absolutely correct in saying that
no one has proven that AIDS is caused by the AIDS virus. There is no animal
model for AIDS, and without an animal model, you cannot establish Koch’s
postulates (to prove the role of the suspected pathogen).” He observes, “The
community as a whole doesn’t listen patiently to critics who adopt
alternative viewpoints. Although the great lesson of history is that
knowledge develops through the conflict of viewpoints.”

Dr Kary Mullis, molecular biologist: Nobel winner Mullis’ watershed
invention of the Polymerase Chain Reaction technology for amplifying minute
DNA fragments for identification has so revolutionised biology that one
might fairly speak of two epochs, the dark ages before and the enlightenment
after it. He deplores the misapplication of his invention to measure “HIV
viral load.” He predicts that, “Years from now, people will find our
acceptance of the HIV theory of AIDS as silly as we find those who
excommunicated Galileo.” Endorsing Duesberg’s rejection of the orthodox
model of infectious AIDS, he says, “As applied, the HIV theory is
unfalsifiable, and useless as a medical hypothesis… I can’t find a single
virologist who will give me references which show HIV is the probable cause
of AIDS. If you ask…you don’t get an answer, you get fury.” The HIV-AIDS
hypothesis, he thinks, is “one hell of a mistake.”

Dr Harry Rubin, retrovirologist, professor of molecular biology, University
of California at Berkeley, member of National Academy of Sciences: “I don’t
think the cause of AIDS has been found. I think (that in) a disease as
complex as AIDS…there are likely to be multiple causes. In fact, to call it
a single disease when there are so many multiple manifestations seems to me
to be an oversimplification.”

Dr Richard Strohman, emeritus professor of cell-biology, University of
California at Berkeley: The HIV-AIDS hypothesis is “bankrupt.”

Dr Beverly Griffin, director and professor of virology, Royal Postgraduate
Medical School in London: “I do not believe HIV, in and of itself, can cause
AIDS.”

Dr Gordon Stewart, emeritus professor of epidemiology, University of
Glasgow, and former AIDS advisor to the World Health Organisation: “AIDS is
a behavioural disease. It is multifactorial, brought on by several
simultaneous strains on the immune system – drugs, pharmaceutical and
recreational, sexually transmitted diseases, multiple viral infections…
there is no specific etiologic agent of AIDS… the disease arises as a
result of a cumulative process following a period of exposure to multiple
environmental factors… Nobody wants to look at the facts about this
disease. It’s the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve sent
countless letters to medical journals pointing out the epidemiological
discrepancies and they simply ignore them. The fact is, this whole
heterosexual AIDS thing is a hoax.”

Dr Albert Sabin, discoverer of live-virus polio vaccine, National Institutes
of Health: “The basis of present action and education is that everybody who
tests positive for the virus must be regarded as a transmitter and there is
no evidence for that.”

Dr Bernard Forscher, former managing editor of the journal, Proceedings of
the National Academy of Sciences: “The HIV hypothesis ranks with the ‘bad
air’ theory for malaria and the ‘bacterial infection’ theory of beriberi and
pellagra (caused by nutritional deficiencies). It is a hoax that became a
scam.”

Dr Simon Wain-Hobson, immunologist, Institut Pasteur, France: “… an
intrinsic cytopathic effect of the virus (HIV) is no longer credible…”

Dr Alfred Hassig, immunologist, former emeritus professor of immunology,
University of Bern, and former director of a Swiss blood transfusion
laboratory: “The sentences of death accompanying the medical diagnosis of
AIDS should be abolished.”

Sir John Maddox, editor, Nature Magazine: “(Luc) Montagnier said clearly
what he meant. HIV (alone) is… not… a sufficient cause of AIDS.”

Dr Fabio Franchi, specialist in infectious diseases and preventive medicine,
Trieste, Italy: “I am not an agnostic. I am well convinced HIV is harmless.”

Dr Charles Thomas, former professor of molecular biology at Harvard and
Johns Hopkins universities: “It is widely believed by the general public
that a retrovirus called HIV causes the group of diseases called AIDS. Many
biomedical scientists now question this hypothesis. We propose that a
thorough reappraisal of the existing evidence for and against this
hypothesis be conducted by a suitable independent group.” He himself has no
doubts. He rejects the HIV-AIDS hypothesis as a “fraud”.

Dr Phillip Johnson, senior professor of law, University of California at
Berkeley: “The establishment continues to doctor statistics and misrepresent
the situation to keep the public convinced that a major viral pandemic is
under way when the facts are otherwise.”

Dr Serge Lang, professor of mathematics, Yale University and member of the
National Academy of Sciences: “There does not even exist a single proper
definition of AIDS on which discourse or statistics can reliably be based…
the CDC calls these diseases AIDS only when antibodies against HIV are
confirmed or presumed to be present. If a person tests HIV negative, then
the diseases are given another name… I do not regard the causal relationship
between HIV and any disease as settled. I have seen considerable evidence
that highly improper statistics concerning HIV and AIDS have been passed off
as science, and that top members of the scientific establishment have
carelessly, if not irresponsibly, joined the media in spreading
misinformation about the nature of AIDS.”

Dr Joseph Sonnabend, South African born New York physician: “The marketing
of HIV, through press releases and statements, as a killer virus causing
AIDS without the need for any other factors, has so distorted research and
treatment that it may have caused thousands of people to suffer and die.”

Dr Harvey Bialy, editor of the science journal Nature Bio/Technology: “From
both my literature review and my personal experience over most of the AIDS –
so called AIDS centres in Africa, I can find absolutely no believable
persuasive evidence that Africa is in the midst of a new epidemic of
infectious immunodeficiency.”

Dr Charles L. Geshekter, professor of African History, California State
University: … From “Cameroon to California, sex education must no longer
be distorted by terrifying, dubious misinformation that equates sex with
death… African poverty, not some extraordinary sexual behavior, is the
best predictor of AIDS-defining diseases… A 1994 report in the Journal of
Infectious Diseases concluded that HIV tests were useless in central Africa,
where the microbes responsible for tuberculosis, malaria, and leprosy were
so prevalent that they registered over 70% false positive results…in
people whose immune systems are compromised for a wide variety of reasons
other than HIV…”

Dr Hiram Caton, ethicist, head of the School of Applied Ethics at Griffith
University, Brisbane, Australia: “The AIDS epidemic was a mirage
manufactured by scientists who believed that integrity could be maintained
amidst the diverting influences of big money, prestige and politics.”

Dr Ralph Moss: author of The Cancer Industry: “The paradigm that was laid
down for how to milk the cancer problem is basically the same paradigm which
is being followed in milking the AIDS problem.”

Dr Frank Buianouckas: professor of mathematics, Bronx New York: “I suspect
everything involved in this AIDS epidemic. If HIV causes anything, it
certainly causes fund-raisers. It sells stocks. It supports dances. It sells
condoms. And it keeps the AIDS establishment going.

Open Letters to President Obama & Congress – Health Freedom is Our First Freedom

February 16th, 2009

Natural Solutions Foundation
www.HealthFreedomUSA.org

First, here is the open letter being sent to the new President by thousands of Natural Solutions supporters (below is the letter to Congress)

To send the open letter to the President:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26671

—————————–

Dear President Obama,

Natural Solutions Foundation, the nation’s premiere “net roots” Health Freedom association alerted me to the threats to Health Freedom hidden in H.R. 1 EH, the economic stimulus law and also found in the pending Food Safety Agency bill, H.R. 875 (and its Senate companion bill).

“Health Freedom” was one of the “Top Ten” social issues on Change.org and was included in the President’s Briefing Book on the official Change.gov web site. We demand that Health Freedom be taken seriously and that Health Fascism — as exemplified by the hidden provisions of the “stimulus” bill and the potential harm of the Food Agency bill — be stopped NOW.

We are concerned that language in the “stimulus” bill will restrict our health care choices, our medical privacy, and course of treatment or therapy that may benefit. We are concerned with what the new Federal bureaucratic overlords of “Health Care” will authorize for us, at our age, and at our financial ‘worth’ to society.

One commentator sited specific page numbers (refer to H.R. 1 EH, pdf version) as examples:

“The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system…. But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners…” (Bloomberg, February 9, 2009)

So what is an unprecedented Congressional grant of power over health care to the bureaucracy doing in an economic “stimulus” bill? And why does Congress think a new bureaucracy should make life-and-death health care choices for us?

We are further concerned that H.R. 875 will be applied to organic and small family farms and ranches, as well as natural and organic food products, including Dietary Supplements, in ways that will greatly harm these areas of the economy. They are not part of the food safety problem which is essentially a problem of big agriculture businesses.

President Obama, this imposition of what could be termed Medical Fascism on the People is NOT real Change. Sneaking it into the “stimulus” bill is just plain old “politics as usual.” Creating a new bureaucracy, even if called “Food Safety” is not helpful if the new bureau will hurt family farms and ranches, natural and organic products.

Please use your authority as President to make it clear that these new powers granted by Congress will not be used to restrict Healthcare Freedom of Choice and local food production.

We PETITION you to clearly instruct the Federal agencies, including the FDA and other agencies involved in restricting healthcare freedom of choice to reverse all policies that restrict access to natural, alternative and complementary healthcare modalities and natural or organic food products.

We request that you formally adopt the Definition of Health Freedom from Change.org and your Briefing Book, “Health Freedom means the right to control what happens to your body, choosing your own health path, making your own health choices as you see fit.” as the definition to be used by all Federal agencies.

You need to regulate the regulators — we call upon you to instruct the bureaucracy to respect the rights of doctors and patients, to ensure that the United States fully respects the World Medical Association’s Declaration of Helsinki – http://www.wma.net/e/policy/pdf/17c.pdf – and does not impose on our Citizens restrictions against health care choice, especially when those choices involve nutrients and natural remedies.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter. “Health Freedom is Our First Freedom!”

——————————-

To send a message to your Federal Representative:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714

And below is the Open Letter to Congress:

Natural Solutions Foundation, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org, as part of its efforts to educate Congress regarding the inestimable benefits of health care freedom of choice, asked its hundreds of thousands of supporters to let our Congressional representatives know about our concerns for the protection of organic and small family farms and ranches from new legislation and regulation that is more properly applied to large-scale agricultural businesses.

Our concern focuses on pending legislation to establish a “Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services.” This bill is H.R. 875 and the Senate is considering a similar bill, S.425. While we do support DIVESTING THE FDA and USDA of their often mis-used food authority, we do not support these bills.

If Congress insists upon passing these bills, it is very important that Congress write into these bills specific language protecting organic and small family farms and ranches. These enterprises and all natural products, including organic and natural food products and Dietary Supplements, must be exempted from the controls of these bills.

Such products and such farms and ranches are not part of the food safety problem. The problem is with mega-farms and agra business facilities.

We demand that our natural and organic food products, Dietary Supplements and their producers be protected from the increased regulation of food producers provided in these pending bills and any similar enactments.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. “Health Freedom is Our First Freedom!”
