Rockefeller Drug Censor Empire
The Drug Story
---------------
By Hans Ruesch
In the 30's, Morris A. Bealle, a former city editor of the old
Washington Times and Herald, was running a county seat newspaper,
in which the local power company bought a large advertisment every
week. This account took quite a lot of worry off Bealle's
shoulders when the bills came due.
But according to Bealle's own story, one day the paper took up the
cudgels for some of its readers that were being given poor service
from the power company, and Morris Bealle received the dressing
down of his life from the advertising agency which handled the
power company's account. They told him that any more such
"stepping out of line" would result in the immediate cancellation
not only of the advertising contract, but also of the gas company
and the telephone company.
That's when Bealle's eyes were opened to the meaning of a "free
press", and he decided to get out of the newspaper business. He
could afford to do that because he belonged to the landed gentry
of Maryland, but not all newspaper editors are that lucky.
Bealle used his professional experience to do some deep digging
into the freedom-of-the-press situation and came up with two
shattering exposes -- "The Drug Story", and "The House of
Rockefeller." The fact that in spite of his familiarity with the
editorial world and many important personal contacts he couldn't
get his revelations into print until he founded his own company,
The Columbia Publishing House, Washington D.C., in 1949, was just
a prime example of the silent but adamant censorship in force in
"the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave". Although The
Drug Story is one of the most important books on health and
politics ever to appear in the USA, it has never been admitted to
a major bookstore nor reviewed by any establishment paper, and was
sold exclusively by mail. Nevertheless, when we first got to read
it, in the 1970s, it was already in its 33rd printing, under a
different label -- Biworld Publishers, Orem, Utah.
EXAMPLES
As Bealle pointed out, a business which makes 6% on its invested
capital is considered a sound money maker. Sterling Drug, Inc.,
the main cog and largest holding company in the Rockefeller Drug
Empire and its 68 subsidiaries, showed operating profits in 1961
of $23,463,719 after taxes, on net assets of $43,108,106 -- a 54%
profit. Squibb, another Rockefeller-controlled company, in 1945
made not 6% but 576% on the actual value of its property.
That was during the luscious war years when the Army Surgeon
General's Office and the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery were
not only acting as promoters for the Drug Trust, but were actually
forcing drug trust poisons into the blood streams of American
soldiers, sailors and marines, to the tune of over 200 million
'shots'. Is it any wonder, asked Bealle, that the Rockefellers,
and their stooges in the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S.
Public Health Service, the Federal Trade Commission, the Better
Business Bureau, the Army Medical Corps, the Navy Bureau of
Medicine, and thousands of health officers all over the country,
should combine to put out of business all forms of therapy that
discourage the use of drugs.
"The last annual report of the Rockefeller Foundation", reported
Bealle, "itemizes the gifts it has made to colleges and public
agencies in the past 44 years, and they total somewhat over half a
billion dollars. These colleges, of course, teach their students
all the drug lore the Rockefeller pharmaceutical houses want
taught. Otherwise there would be no more gifts, just as there are
no gifts to any of the 30 odd colleges in the United States that
don't use therapies based on drugs.
"Harvard, with its well-publicized medical school, has received
$8,764,433 of Rockefeller's Drug Trust money, Yale got $7,927,800,
Johns Hopkins $10,418,531, Washington University in St. Louis
$2,842,132, New York's Columbia University $5,424,371, Cornell
University $1,709,072, ete., etc."
And while "giving away" those huge sums to drug-propagandizing
colleges, the Rockefeller interests were growing to a world-wide
web that no one could entirely explore. Already well over 30 years
ago it was large enough for Bealle to demonstrate that the
Rockefeller interests had created, built up and developed the most
far reaching industrial empire ever conceived in the mind of man.
Standard Oil was of course the foundation upon which all of the
other Rockefeller industries have been built. The story of Old
John D., as ruthless an industrial pirate as ever came down the
pike, is well known, but is being today conveniently ignored. The
keystone of this mammoth industrial empire was the Chase NationaI
Bank, now renamed the Chase Manhattan Bank.
Not the least of its holdings are in the drug business. The
Rockefellers own the largest drug manufacturing combine in the
world, and use all of their other interests to bring pressure to
increase the sale of drugs. The fact that most of the 12,000
separate drug items on the market are harmful is of no concem to
the Drug Trust...
THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION
The Rockefeller Foundation was first set up in 1904 and called the
General Education Fund. An organization called the Rockefeller
Foundation, ostensibly to supplement the General Education Fund,
was formed in 1910 and through long finagling and lots of
Rockefeller money got the New York legislature to issue a charter
on May 14, 1913.
It is therefore not surprising that the House of Rockefeller has
had its own "nominees" planted in all Federal agencies that have to
do with health. So the stage was set for the "education" of the
American public, with a view to turning it into a population of
drug and medico dependents, with the early help of the parents and
the schools, then with direct advertising and, last but not least,
the influence the advertising revenues had on the media-makers.
A compilation of the magazine Advertising Age showed that as far
back as 1948 the larger companies in America spent for advertising
the sum total of $1,104,224,374, when the dollar was still worth a
dollar and not half a zloty. Of this staggering sum the
interlocking Rockefeller-Morgan interests (gone over entirely to
Rockefeller after Morgan's death) controlled about 80 percent, and
utilized it to manipulate public information on health and drug
matters -- then and even more recklessly now.
CENSORSHIP
"Even the most independent newspapers are dependent on their press
associations for their national news," Bealle pointed out, "and
there is no reason for a news editor to suspect that a story coming
over the wires of the Associated Press, the United Press or the
International News Service is censored when it concerns health
matters. Yet this is what happens constantly."
In fact in the '50s the Drug Trust had one of its directors on the
directorate of the Associated Press. He was no less than Arthur
Hays Sulzberger, publisher of the New York Times and as such one of
the most powerful Associated Press directors.
It was thus easy for the Rockefeller Trust to persuade the
Associated Press Science Editor to adopt a policy which would not
permit any medical news to clear that is not approved by the Drug
Trust "expert", and this censor is not going to approve any item
that can in any way hurt the sale of drugs.
This accounts to this day for the many fake stories of serums and
medical cures and just-around-the-corner breakthrough victories
over cancer, AIDS, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, which go out
brazenly over the wires to all daily newspapers in America and
abroad.
Emanuel M. Josephson, M.D., whom the Drug Trust has been unable to
intimidate despite many attempts, pointed out that the National
Association of Science Writers was "persuaded" to adopt as part of
its code of ethics the following chestnut: "Science editors are
incapable of judging the facts of phenomena involved in medical and
scientific discovery. Therefore, they only report 'discoveries'
approved by medical authorities, or those presented before a body
of scientific peers."
This explains why Bantam Books, America's biggest publisher, made
a colossal mistake in its initial enthusiasm and optimism sending
review copies of SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENT to the 3,500 "science
writers" on its list, instead of addressing them to the literary
book reviewers who are not subject to medical censorship. One
single censor decreed NO and SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENT sank in
silence.
Thus newspapers continue to be fed with propaganda about drugs and
their alleged value, although according to the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) 1.5 million people landed in hospitals in 1978
because of medication side effects in the U.S. alone, and despite
recurrent statements by intelligent and courageous medical men that
most pharmaceutical items on sale are useless at best, but more
often harmful or deadly in the long run.
The truth about cures without drugs is suppressed, unless it suits
the purpose of the censor to garble it. Whether these cures are
effected by Chiropractors, Naturopaths, Naprapaths, Osteopaths,
Faith Healers, Spiritualists, Herbalists, Christian Scientists, or
MDs who use the brains they have, you never read about it in the
big newspapers.
To teach the Rockefeller drug ideology, it is necessary to teach
that Nature didn't know what she was doing when she made the human
body. But statistics issued by the Children's Bureau of the
Federal Security Agency show that since the all-out drive of the
Drug Trust for drugging, vaccinating and serumizing the human
system, the health of the American nation has sharply declined,
especially among children. Children are now given "shots" for this
and "shots" for that, when the only safeguard known to science is
a pure bloodstream, which can be obtained only with clean air and
wholesome food. Meaning by natural and inexpensive means. Just
what the Drug Trust most objects to.
When the FDA, whose officials have to be acceptable to Rockefeller
Center before they are appointed, has to put an independent
operator out of business, it goes all out to execute those orders.
But the orders do not come directly from Standard Oil or a drug
house director. As Morris Bealle pointed out, the American Medical
Association (AMA) is the front for the Drug Trust, and furnishes
the quack doctors to testify that even when they know nothing of
the product involved, it is their considered opinion that it has no
therapeutic value.
PERSECUTION
Wrote Bealle:
"Financed by the taxpayers, these Drug Trust persecutions leave no
stone unturned to destroy the victim. If he is a small operator,
the resulting attorney's fees and court costs put him out of
business. In one case, a Dr. Adolphus Hohensee of Scranton, Pa.,
who had stated that vitamins (he used natural ones) were vital to
good health, was taken to court for 'misbranding' his product.
The American Medical Association furnished ten medicos who reversed
all known medical theories by testifying that 'vitamins are not
necessary to the human body'. Confronted with goverment bulletins
to the contrary, the medicos wiggled out of that one by declaring
that these standard publications were outdated!"
In addition to the FDA, Bealle listed the following agencies having
to do with "health" -- i.e., with the health of the Drug Trust to
the detriment of the citizens -- as being dependent on Rockefeller:
U.S. Public Health Service, U.S. Veterans Administration, Federal
Trade Commission, Surgeon General of the Air Force, Army Surgeon
General's Office, Navy Bureau of Medicine & Surgery, National
Health Research Institute, National Research Council, National
Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Sciences in Washington is considered the
all-wise body which investigates everything under the sun,
especially in the field of health, and gives to a palpitating
public the last word in that science. To the important post at the
head of this agency, the Drug Trust had one of their own appointed.
He was none other than Alfred N. Richards, one of the directors and
largest stockholders of Merck & Company, which was making huge
profits from its drug traffic.
When Bealle revealed this fact, Richards resigned forthwith, and
the Rockefellers appointed in his place the President of their own
Rockefeller Institution, Detlev W. Bronk.
AMERICA'S MEDICO-DRUG CARTEL
The medico-drug cartel was summed up by J.W Hodge, M.D., of
Niagara Falls, N.Y., in these words:
"The medical monopoly or medical trust, euphemistically called the
American Medical Association, is not merely the meanest monopoly
ever organized, but the most arrogant, dangerous and despotic
organisation which ever managed a free people in this or any other
age. Any and all methods of healing the sick by means of safe,
simple and natural remedies are sure to be assailed and denounced
by the arrogant leaders of the AMA doctors' trust as fakes, frauds
and humbugs.
Every practioner of the healing art who does not ally himself with
the medical trust is denounced as a 'dangerous quack' and impostor
by the predatory trust doctors. Every sanitarian who attempts to
restore the sick to a state of health by natural means without
resort to the knife or poisonous drugs, disease imparting serums,
deadly toxins or vaccines, is at once pounced upon by these medical
tyrants and fanatics, bitterly denounced, vilified and persecuted
to the fullest extent."
The Lincoln Chiropractic College in Indianapolis requires 4,496
hours, the Palmer Institute Chiropractic in Davenport a minimum of
4,000 60-minute classroom hours, the University of Natural Healing
Arts in Denver five years of 1,000 hours each to qualify for a
degree. The National College of Naprapathy in Chicago requires
4,326 classroom hours for graduation. Yet the medico-drug cartel
spreads the propaganda that the practitioners of these three
"heretic" sciences are poorly trained or not trained at all -- the
real reason being that they cure their patients without the use of
drugs. In 1958, one of those "ill-trained" doctors, Nicholas P.
Grimaldi, who had just graduated from the Lincoln Chiropractic
College, took the basic science examination of the Connecticut
State Board along with 63 medics and osteopaths. He made the
highest mark (91.6) ever made by a doctor taking the Connecticut
State Board examination.
COLONIZATION
Rockefeller's various "educational" activities had proved so
profitable in the U S. that in 1927 the International Educational
Board was launched, as Junior's own, personal charity, and endowed
with $21,000,000 for a starter, to be lavished on foreign
universities and politicos, with all the usual strings attached.
This Board undertook to export the "new" Rockefeller image as a
benefactor of mankind, as well as his business practises. Nobody
informed the beneficiaries that every penny the Rockefellers seemed
to be throwing out the window would come back, bearing substantial
interest, through the front door.
Rockefeller had always had a particular interest in China, where
Standard Oil was almost the sole supplier of kerosene and oil
"for the lamps of China". So he put up money to establish the
China Medical Board and to build the Peking Union Medical College,
playing the role of the Great White Father who has come to dispense
knowledge on his lowly children. The Rockefeller Foundation
invested up to $45,000,000 into "westernizing" (read corrupting)
Chinese medicine.
Medical colleges were instructed that if they wished to benefit
from the Rockefeller largesse they had better convince 500 million
Chinese to throw into the ashcan the safe and useful but
inexpensive herbal remedies of their barefoot doctors, which had
withstood the test of centuries, in favor of the expensive
carcinogenic and teratogenic "miracle" drugs Made in USA, which
had to be replaced constantly with new ones, when the fatal
side-effects could no longer be concealed; and if they couldn't
"demonstrate" through large-scale animal experiments the
effectiveness of their ancient acupuncture, this could not be
recognized as having any "scientific value". Its millenarian
effectiveness proven on human beings was of no concern to the
Westem wizards.
But when the Communists came to power in China and it was no longer
possible to trade, the Rockefellers suddenly lost interest in the
health of the Chinese people and shifted their attention
increasingly to Japan, India and Latin America.
THE IMAGE
"No candid study of his career can lead to other conclusion than
that he is victim of perhaps the ugliest of all passions, that for
money, money as an end. It is not a pleasant picture.... this
money-maniac secretly, patiently, eternally plotting how he may add
to his wealth.... He has turned commerce to war, and honey-combed
it with cruel and corrupt practices.... And he calls his great
organization a benefaction, and points to his church-going and
charities as proof of his righteousness. This is supreme
wrong-doing cloaked by religion. There is but one name for it --
hypocrisy. "
This was the description Ida Tarbell made of John D. Rockefeller
in her "History of the Standard Oil Company", serialized in 1905
in the widely circulated McClure's Magazine. And that was several
years before the "Ludlow Massacre", so JDR was as yet far from
having reached the apex of his disrepute. But after World War II
it would have been hard to read, in America or abroad, a single
criticism of JDR, nor of Junior, who had followed in his father's
footsteps, nor of Junior's four sons who all endevoured to emulate
their illustrious forbears. Today's various encyclopedias extant
in public libraries of the Western world have nothing but praise
for the Family. How was this achieved?
Ironically, the two apparently most NEGATIVE events in the career
of JDR brought about a huge POSITIVE change in his favor, to a
degree that he himself could not foresee. To wit:
In the year when according to the current Encyclopaedia Britannica
(long become a Rockefeller property and transferred from Oxford to
Chicago), Rockefeller had "retired from active business", namely in
1911, he had been convicted by a U.S. court of illegal practices
and ordered to dissolve the Standard Oil Trust, which comprised 40
corporations. This imposed dissolution was to provide his Empire
with added might, to a degree that was unprecedente in the history
of modem business. Until then, the Trust had existed for all to
see -- an exposed target. After that, it went underground, and
thereby its power was cloaked in security, and could keep expanding
unseen and therefore unopposed.
The second apparently negative experience was a certain 1914 event
that persuaded JDR, until then utterly contemptuous of public
opinion, to gloss over his own image.
"THE LUDLOW MASSACRE"
The United Mine Workers had asked for higher wages and better
living conditions for the miners of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company, one of the many Rockefeller-owned companies.
The miners -- mostly immigrants from Europe's poorest countries --
lived in shacks provided by the company at exorbitant rent. Their
low wages ($1.68 a day) were paid in script redeemable only at
company stores charging high prices. The churches they attended
were the pastorates of company-hired ministers; their children were
taught in company-controlled schools; the company libraries
excluded books that the Bible-thumping Rockefellers deemed
"subversive", such as "Darwin's Origin of the Species." The
company maintained a force of detectives, mine guards, and spies
whose job it was to keep the camp quarantined from the danger of
unionization.
When the miners struck, JDR, Jr., then officially in command of
the company, and his father's hatchet man, the Baptist Reverend
Frederick T. Gates, who was a director of the Rockefeller
Foundation, refused even to negotiate. They evicted the strikers
from the company-owned shacks, hired a thousand strike-breakers
from the Baldwin-Felts detective agency, and persuaded Governor
Ammons to call out the National Guard to help break the strike.
Open warfare resulted. Guardsmen, miners, their women and
children, who since their eviction were camping in tents, were
ruthlessly killed, until the frightened Governor wired President
Wilson for Federal Troops, who eventually crushed the strike, The
New York Times, which then already could never be accused of being
unfriendly to the Rockefeller interests, reported on April 21, 1914,
"A 14-hour battle between striking coal miners and members of the
Colorado National Guard in the Ludlow district today culminated in
the killing of Louis Tikas, leader of the Greek strikers, and the
destruction of the Ludlow tent colony by fire."
And the following day,
"Forty-five dead (32 of them women and children), a score missing
and more than a score wounded is the known result ofthe 14-hour
battle which raged between state troops and coal miners in the
Ludlow district, on the property of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company, the Rockefeller holding. The Ludlow is a mass of charred
debris, and buried beneath it is a story of horror unparalleded in
the history of industrial warfare. In the holes that had been dug
for their protection against rifle fire, the women and children
died like trapped rats as the flames swept over them. One pit
uncovered this afternoon disclosed the bodies of ten children and
two women."
THOROUGH FACELIFT
The worldwide revulsion that followed was such that JDR decided to
hire the most talented press agent in the country, Ivy Lee, who got
the tough assignment of whitewashing the tycoon's bloodied image.
When Lee learned that the newly organized Rockefeller Foundation
had $100 million lying around for promotional purposes without
knowing what to do with it, he came with a plan to donate large
sums -- none less than a million -- to well-known colleges,
hospitals, churches and benevolent organizations. The plan was
accepted. So were the millions. And they made headlines all over
the world, for in the days of the gold standard and the five cent
cigar there was a maxim in every newspaper office that a million
dollars was always news.
That was the beginning of the cleverly worded medical reports on
new "miracle" drugs and "just-around-the-corner breakthroughs"
planted in the leading news offices and press associations that
continue to this day, and the flighty public soon forgot, or
forgave, the massacre of foreign immigrants for the dazzling
display of generosity and philantropy financed by the ballooning
Rockefeller fortune and going out, with thunderous press fanfare,
to various "worthy" institutions.
THE PURCHASE OF PUBLIC OPINION
In the following years, not only newsmen, but whole newspapers
were bought, financed or founded with Rockefeller money. So Time
Magazine, which Henry Luce started in 1923, had been taken over
by J.P. Morgan when the magazine got into fInancial difficulties.
When Morgan died and his financial empire crumbled, the House of
Rockefeller wasted no time in taking over this lush editorial plum
also, together with its sisters Fortune and Life, and built for
them an expensive 14-story home of their own in Rockefeller Center
-- the Time & Life Building.
Rockefeller was also co-owner of Time's "rival" magazine, Newsweek,
which had been established in the early days of the New Deal with
money put up by Rockefeller, Vincent Astor, the Harrimann family
and other members and allies of the House.
THE INTELLECTUALS - A BARGAIN
For all his innate cynicism, JDR must have been himself surprised
to discover how easily the so-called intellectuals could be bought.
Indeed, they turned out to be among his best investments.
By founding and lavishly endowing his Education Boards at home and
abroad, Rockefeller won control not only of the governments and
politicos but also of the intellectual and scientific community,
starting with the Medical Power -- the organization that forms
those priests of the New Religion that are the modern medicine men.
No Pulitzer or Nobel or any similar prize endowed with money and
prestige has ever been awarded to a declared foe of the Rockefeller
system.
Henry Luce, officially founder and editor of Time Magazine, but
constantly dependent on House advertising, also distinguished
himself in his adulation of his sponsors. JDR's son had been
responsible for the Ludlow massacre, and an obedient partner in his
father's most unsavory actions. Nonetheless, in 1956 Henry Luce
put Junior on the cover of Time, and the feature story, soberly
titled "The Good Man", included hyperboles like this:
"It is because John D. Rockefeller Junior's is a life of
constructive social giving that he ranks as an authentic American
hero, just as certainly as any general who ever won a victory for
an American army or any statesman who triumphed in behalf of U.S.
diplomacy."
Clearly, Time's editorial board wasn't given the choice to change
its tune even after the passing of Junior and Henry Luce, since it
remained just as dependent on House of Rockefeller advertising.
Thus, when in 1979 one of Junior's sons, Nelson A. Rockefeller
died -- who had been one of the loudest hawks in the Vietnam and
other American wars, and was personally responsible for the
massacre of prisoners and hostages at Atticia prison -- Time said
of him in it obituary, without laughing:
"He was driven by a mission to serve, improve and uplift his
country."
Perhaps it was all this that Prof. Peter Singer had in mind when
telling the judges in Italy that the Rockefeller Foundation was a
humanitarian enterprise bent on doing good works. One of their
best works seems to be sponsoring Prof. Peter Singer, the world's
greatest animal friend and protector who claims that vivisection
is indispensable for medical progress and for more than 20 years
refuses to mention that legions of medical doctors are of the
opposite view.
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FREE PUBLICITY
Another interesting revelation in the article of Time was that many
years ago already Singer "was pleasantly surprised when Britannica
approached him to distill in about 30,000 words the discipline that
is, at its heart, the systematic study of what we ought to do."
So now we touch the subject of sponsorisation and patronage. They
don't always mean immediate cash but, more important, long-term
profits.
Many decades ago the Encyclopedia Britannica moved from Oxford to
Chicago because Rockefeller had bought it to add much needed luster
to the University of Chicago and its medical school, the first one
he had founded. Peter Singer, "the world's greatest animal
defender" who keeps a door permanently open to vivisection and the
lucrative medical swindle, gets millions of dollars free publicity
thanks to the worldwide engagement of the Rockefeller Foundation
and the mediamakers who are in no position to oppose it.
From the article in Time we also learned that Singer's mother had
been a medical doctor in the old country, which could mean that
little Peter started assimilating all the Rockefeller superstition
on vivisection with his mother's milk.
