The Black Informant | African American Commentary, News and Community Building

I mentioned on this site several times in the past, I really enjoy dealing with todays’ issues from more of a historical perspective. To me, it is getting to the root of the problem. All of this surfacey stuff that we see and read today is just time-consuming noise.

I came across this story recently from a recent discussion and from some websites I had read. I knew some things about the Carnegie family as it relates to the current public school program here in the US, however I must say that I knew very little about the Rockefeller’s involvement with the Pharmaceutical industry.

I found this to be a very interesting read as I am sure you will as well.

=============================

How the pharmaceutical industry took control of the hospitals, universities, research and other institutions in the early part of this century is amply demonstrated by world-famous medical historian and author, Hans Ruesch, in his devastating expose: Naked Empress or The Great Medical Fraud (55) (1992). The book is an absolute must to read. Naked Empress exposes massive corruption and fraud in medicine, science, industries, governments, media, and various organisations. The importance of this book cannot be overstated.

In Naked Empress, Ruesch cited another important expose titled The Drug Story (56) (1949), by American investigative reporter, Morris A. Bealle. According to Bealle: “America’s largest and most ruthless industrial combine, the Rockefeller Empire” (which was built on Standard Oil Company) in the early part of this century became interested in the drug trade after making breath-taking profits from palming off bottled petroleum called Nujol as a supposed cure for cancer and later constipation.

In 1939 the Drug Trust was formed by an alliance of the world’s two greatest cartels in world history – the Rockefeller Empire and the German chemical company, I.G. Farbenindustrie (I.G. Farben). Drug profits from that time onwards curved upwards into gigantic proportions and by 1948 it became a 10 billion dollar a year industry. (57)

I.G. Farben’s unsavoury past is highlighted by the fact that during the Second World War it built and operated a massive chemical plant at Auschwitz using slave labour. Approximately 300,000 concentration-camp workers passed through I.G. Farben’s facilities at Auschwitz and at least 25,000 of them were worked to death. (58) Also, others were brutally killed in I.G. Farben’s drug testing programs. (59) Twelve of I.G. Farben’s top executives were sentenced to terms of imprisonment for slavery and mistreatment offences at the Nuremberg war crime trials. (60)

Hoechst and Bayer, the largest and third largest companies in world pharmaceutical sales respectively, are descended from I.G. Farben. In September 1955, Hoechst appointed Friedrich Jaehne, a convicted war criminal from the Nuremberg trials, as Chairman of its supervisory board. Also, a year later, Bayer appointed Fitz ter Meer, another convicted war criminal, as Chairman of its board. (61)

On the Rockefellers’ moves towards “influencing” medical colleges and public agencies in the United States, Bealle writes:

“The last annual report of the Rockefeller Foundation itemizes the gifts it has made to colleges and public agencies in the past 44 years [from 1948], 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 drugless colleges in the United States.” (62)

The Rockefellers did not restrict their “educational” activities to the US alone. In 1927 they formed the International Education Board which “donated” millions of dollars to foreign universities and politicos, with all the usual strings attached. (63)

As these huge amounts of money were being “donated” to drug-propagandising colleges, the Rockefeller interests were expanding world-wide. It was large enough 40 years ago for Bealle to state:

“It has long been demonstrated that the Rockefeller interests have created, built up and developed the most far reaching industrial empire ever conceived in the mind of man. Standard Oil is of course the foundation industry upon which all of the other industries have been built….

“The keystone of this mammoth industrial empire is the Chase National Bank with 27 branches in New York City and 21 in foreign countries [now renamed the Chase Manhattan Bank with over 200 branches in the US and abroad]. 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.” (64)

This is why on Sundays on this site, I focus on natural alternatives on health. I do not trust race-based medicine for one moment. Pharmaceutical companies dis herbal medicines big time while they use the same God-created products in their own chemical concoctions .

Herbal medicines do work. The main ingredient that they require is something that we lack today: Time and patience. We want the quick fix, so the pharms are there to service that need. Don’t get me wrong, pharmaceutical companies have developed some great products, but in many cases it is like using a nuclear bomb to kill a fly to your body. Our eating habits have also drastically changed from back in the day (a huge factor in the many diseases that we have today).

There is a lot more to this story. Maybe next week sometime we can discuss that as well.
