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 advertisement 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.
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 concern to
the Drug Trust...
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.
'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.
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 government 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.
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
organization 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
practitioner 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 sanitarium 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.
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 practices. 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 Western 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.
'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
endeavored 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 Encyclopedia Britanica (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 unprecedented 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 Ludlow Massacre
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 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 of the 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 unparalleled 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.'
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 philanthropy financed by the ballooning
Rockefeller fortune and going out, with thunderous press fanfare, to
various 'worthy' institutions.
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.
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 hyperbole 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 Attica 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.
Another interesting
revelation in the article of Time was that many years ago already Singer
'was pleasantly surprised when Britanica 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 sponsorship
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 media makers 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.
