The
Drug Story
By Morris A. Bealle
Essay by Hans Ruesch
"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."
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
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.
