Fwd: The Quackbusters Newest Scam- Operation Cure All

[Guest guest]

The Quackbuster's Newest Scam - " Operation Cure-All " ...

 

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

 

July 7th, 2003

 

 

 

I need to make something clear. DO NOT, for a minute, think that the quackpot

soldiers you see, like Stephen Barrett, and Robert Baratz, are running the

whole quackbuster operation. They are not bright enough. They are the ones the

quackbuster paymasters want us all to see. They're the front men. They've got

their function, but it's only part of the game.

 

I think the whole " Quackbuster " conspiracy, and I have documents that back up my

thinking, is being run out of a conference room at a pharmaceutical advertising

agency in New York City. It's there that all the decisions, and plans are made,

about where to focus the campaign, who to attack, and what cards to play in each

attack. It's there that the checks are written.

 

Want some proof? It's coming. I'm working with P. J. (Joe) Lisa to re-publish

his 1995 book " Assault on Medical Freedom. " The new book will have, some

changes, and four new chapters, bringing the conspiracy up to date. The

information Joe, I, and some others are gathering, although for the book, will

be also for delivery to Attorney General John Ashcroft and some others. Joe

Lisa has thousands of pages of documents. We think there's enough for a Justice

Department RICO (racketeering) complaint.

 

The quackbuster operation in North America is simply a scam devised around the

time the American Medical Association lost a Federal Court Case to the

Chiropractors in 1987. It's function is to eliminate, suppress, or hamper with,

anything that competes with the sale of drugs and surgery. It's here to make

sure that " treatment, " rather than " prevention, " or " a cure, " stays the

" standard of care " in North American Health Care.

 

The quackbusters have shifted focus. Today, I'm going to tell you what the new

focus is, how it's being organized and run, and who has, and is going to be

attacked, and why. In another newsletter I'm going to tell you how we, in the

North American Health Freedom Movement are going to crush it.

 

For them, it's all about pharmaceuticals controlling the North American Health

market. For us, it's about getting real health care, right now.

 

For years, quackbusting centered around the Federation of State Medical Boards

(FSMB) operation. State Medical Board Members, Prosecutors, Investigators,

Management, etc., were propagandized to believe that anything new in health care

that wasn't drugs, or surgery, oriented, was health fraud. Their assignment,

should they choose to take it (and not many of them did), was to terrorize MDs

who embraced new things, and to attack non-MDs with " practicing medicine without

a license. "

 

But the North American Health Freedom Movement woke up one morning and decided

to kick the crap out of them. Health Freedom Bills, defenses of practitioners,

exposes, you-name-it tactics, all began to work. EVERYTHING we did worked very

well. We're winning everywhere.

 

The focus has been shifted since the quackbuster paymasters discovered that (1)

Barrett, and company, just can't deliver the goods, anymore. And (2) Robert

Baratz, the current President of the National Council Against Health Fraud

(NCAHF). who was brought up from the minor leagues with high hopes, is turning

out to be an amusing (for us) embarrassment (for them).

 

Now, the quackbusters are using the FTC/FDA " Operation Cure-All " as their

platform. Herein, I'll detail how I think they're doing it. In another

newsletter I'll tell you how simple it will be to thwart them - one more time.

 

 

 

What's this " Operation Cure-All " thing?

 

Upper management at the FTC and the FDA think they put this plan together to

stop internet health fraud. I'm sure they had the best of intentions. But don't

be fooled, it's a quackbuster operation. Not one run by the stooges, like

Barrett, or Baratz, or Sampson, this is an exercise of the REAL quackbusters -

those funding the whole anti-health care, preserve the drug/surgery status quo,

operation. The whole plan was, no doubt, written in the back room of a

pharmaceutical advertising agency, for a fee that would stagger the imagination.

It reeks of big Pharma thinking. Barrett, et al, are Keystone Kops in this

venue.

 

Timothy Muris, at the FTC, and Mark McClellan, at FDA, are the targets of a drug

company funded scam to use their agencies to kill off upstart competitors of the

drug industry. So far, they're unaware of this - so let's fix that.

 

The majority of employees of the FTC, FDA and Operation Cure-All apparently

don't know, either, they are being USED to attack the very upstart competition

the drug companies fear the most - supplements (that keep people healthy - so

they don't need drug " treatment " ), electro-medicine (that replaces drugs,

without side effects), chelation (detoxification eliminates need for drugs),

natural antibiotics (Like Colloidal Silver, Frankincense, Oregano Oil), and

scientists and authors (like Hulda Regehr Clark PhD, Naturopath) who advocate a

change in the way America delivers health care.

 

What we'll probably have to do is to get a RICO/Civil rights, and Conspiracy to

Violate Civil Rights, action, going against those controlling and manipulating

it, and those FTC, FDA, and Operation Cure-All employees involved in the scam.

We'll need to get Attorney General John Ashcroft involved in this, as well as

FDA Internal Affairs, and the Inspector General at the FTC.

 

So, what's " Operation Cure-All " up to? You can go to the self-promoting website

" ://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/06/cureall.htm " and read the sanctimonious words:

 

" Operation Cure-All " Wages New Battle in Ongoing War Against Internet Health

Fraud

 

FTC, FDA and other law enforcement agencies move to stop Internet scams for

supplements and other products that purport to cure cancer, HIV/AIDS and

countless other life-threatening diseases. FTC also warns of risks associated

with some supplements, including drug interactions. "

 

Sounds good, but the worm in the apple is that the definition of " health fraud "

is the one written in a conference room of a pharmaceutical advertising agency.

They might as well have come out openly, and said " if it competes with big

Pharma, it's health fraud, and we're against it. "

 

The other REALLY bad thing about the FTC and the FDA is the huge amount of

INTERNAL influence big pharma has on FTC and FDA thinking. When Dwight

Eisenhower left the Presidency, one of the last things he did was to stop the

revolving door between the Defense Department and Defense contractors. That has

to happen with the FTC/FDA and big pharma - right now. Before America dies of a

drug overdose.

 

 

 

Here's how the scam works...

 

Fact #1: The FTC/FDA system requires that claims about products must be based

on " scientific proof. " In translation, that means that every claim, or

suggested claim, must be double-blind studied in 30 to 50 cities (usually on the

inner city poor), and the " studies " will cost somewhere between 200 to 400

million dollars each. Since herbals, and natural supplements, can't be

patented, the FTC/FDA system has effectively given big Pharma a monopoly on

approvals - since only big Pharma can afford the testing procedure.

 

Gee, I wonder how that happened? Sarcasm intended.

 

Fact #2: The FTC won't allow " testimonials. " To them, someone saying " I, and

300 of my friends did this thing, and all of us were cured of cancer, and here's

our medical records to prove it, " is inadequate information. The reality of a

" cure " is not in their vocabulary. It's still " unproven, " and, according to

them, you can't tell anyone about it. Saving lives, by passing around

information, is to them, a criminal act.

 

The FTC/FDA' Operation Cure-All, doesn't want anything to do with reality. It

gets in the way.

 

So, when big Pharma sees that somebody is cutting a little too deep into, or

just threatening the future of, their drug market, checks are written, and a

meeting takes place in New York City. There a plan (a standard format plan) is

made. And the execution begins on Monday.

 

Here's how they do it.

 

The quackbusters decide who they're going to hit. The advertising agency (which

controls major drug advertising placement) writes up the stories that are going

to be distributed to their " letter writing brigade. " The letter writers,

following the guidelines, then write to the FTC, the FDA, and Operation

Cure-All, to set a basis for the complaint. Then the ad agency writes stories,

getting quotes from the likes of Barrett, Baratz, etc., on the victim. The

stories are sent out to the media in which the advertising agency's drug clients

advertise. The stories are printed in the media as though they were true.

 

Once the stories hit the press, a second wave of letters goes out to the FTC,

the FDA, and Operation Cure-All, to put pressure on upper management to act.

Then more media is generated, this time with quotes from the quackbuster insider

FTC employees to make it sound official that the FTC is interested. Once this

happens, letters and phone calls go out from supposedly " irate consumers

(quackbusters), " once again to the FTC, the FDA, and Operation Cure-All upper

management, demanding to know why they aren't doing something.

 

Then, letters and phone calls go out from supposedly " irate consumers

(quackbusters) " to certain members of Congress demanding to know why the FTC,

the FDA, and Operation Cure-All, aren't doing something.

 

Within days, upper management of the FTC, the FDA, and Operation Cure-All, are

deluged with questions from more media, and Congress. They see the issue as

important, and act against the victim - even if their is little or no evidence.

 

After this, some poor bastard is fighting for his life, while the plotters pop

open a case of $1,000 a bottle champagne, congratulating themselves for another

hit against their competitor.... And, more checks are written.

 

This is, I believe, how the attack was organized against the Rife equipment

manufacturers, Bob Barefoot Coral Calcium, SeaSilver, the Colloidal Silver

proponents, etc... I have good reason to believe that EVERY ONE of the Operation

Cure-All targets, right from the beginning, was arranged this way.

 

For a sample of how it's done, click here for the petition, and here for the

signers where the quackpots were attempting to stop the whole science of

Homeopathy. They failed...

 

So, why this new assault? Because the quackbusters are, basically, floundering.

The old plan wasn't working.

 

 

 

Why are the quackbusters floundering?

 

The quackbuster operation in North America is floundering for a number of

reasons.

 

The number (1) reason is that the quackbusters underestimated the intelligence

of the North American health consumer. Those consumers don't trust conventional

medicine, anymore. Americans can sense when they are being lied to.

 

(2) Americans have discovered " health, " and they've worked out for themselves

that " health " and " medicine " aren't the same thing.

 

(3) Americans have worked out that that expensive " health plan " is a big waste

of money - because all it pays for is " medicine. " It doesn't pay for " health

care. " Insurance companies, and the US Government have caught on - and are

adding new billing codes (ABC Codes) to deal with reality and demand. The

American consumer, right now, is buying " health " out of their discretionary

income - and the total amount of that is more than half of the total US health

dollar.

 

(4) The North American Health Freedom Movement is kicking the crap out of the

quackbusters whenever, and wherever, they meet on a battlefield.

 

(5) The whole idea of restricting American's health care offering to drugs and

surgery is un-American. Even conventional MDs are getting fed up with the idea

that " nothing new should be used in medicine unless it's been approved by a

failed MD working out of his basement in Pennsylvania. "

 

(6) The people of New York State are waking up to the fact that right there, in

their midst, is a cesspool of quackbuster activity. Not only New York City, but

Buffalo. Plans are being made. Targets are being selected.

 

(7) In the end, GOOD always triumphs over EVIL.

 

We, in the North American Health Freedom Movement, need to destroy the

quackbuster operation. For, Americans are suffering and dying. Nobody is going

to fix this problem but us. We are the ones who understand what's happening. We

also know what to do, and how to do it. So, let's do it.

 

Stay tuned...
