Media won't investigate medically-caused death numbers
By Jon Rappoport
Imagine a Congressional hearing held before media cameras,
with reporters all over the US and Europe ready with shocking articles
about one of the leading causes of death---
SENATOR: Sir, I have the numbers in front of me. How can you keep this secret from the public?
FDA COMMISSIONER: It's not a secret, sir. Many experts know about it.
SENATOR: I'm looking through the trillion-dollar federal
budget. I'm looking for the money allocated to fix this horrible
situation. Where are those funds?
FDA COMMISSIONER: Nowhere.
I know major media won't investigate medically-caused death
numbers, because I've published reports for years, and I've contacted
news people with the facts; and nothing happens.
So we begin with a few citations.
July 26, 2000, Journal of the American Medical Association;
author, Dr. Barbara Starfield, revered public health expert at the Johns
Hopkins School of Public Health; "Is US health really the best in the
world?"
Starfield reported that the US medical system kills 225,000
Americans a year. 106,000 as a result of FDA-approved medical drugs, and
119,000 as a result of mistreatment and errors in hospitals.
Extrapolate the numbers to a decade: that's 2.25 million deaths. You
might want to read that last number again.
I interviewed Starfield in 2009. I asked her whether she was
aware of any overall effort by the US government to eliminate this
holocaust, and whether she had ever been contacted by any government
agency to consult on such an effort. She answered a resounding no to
both questions.
Here is another citation: BMJ June 7, 2012 (BMJ
2012:344:e3989). Author, Jeanne Lenzer. Lenzer refers to a report by the
Institute for Safe Medication Practices: "It [the Institute] calculated
that in 2011 prescription drugs were associated with two to four
million people in the US experiencing 'serious, disabling, or fatal
injuries, including 128,000 deaths.'"
The report called this "one of the most significant perils to humans resulting from human activity."
The report was compiled by outside researchers who went into the FDA's own database of "serious adverse [medical-drug] events."
Therefore, to say the FDA isn't aware of this finding would
be absurd. The FDA knows. The FDA knows and it isn't saying anything
about it, because the FDA certifies, as safe and effective, all the
medical drugs that are routinely maiming and killing Americans.
Here is another citation: The article is, "The Epidemic of
Sickness and Death from Prescription Drugs." The author is Donald Light,
who teaches at Rowan University, and is the 2013 recipient
of ASA's [American Sociological Association's] Distinguished Career
Award for the Practice of Sociology. Light is a founding
fellow of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania. In
2013, he was a fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at
Harvard. He is a Lokey Visiting Professor at Stanford University.
Donald Light: "Epidemiologically, appropriately prescribed, prescription drugs are the fourth leading cause of death,
tied with stroke at about 2,460 deaths each week in the United States.
About 330,000 patients die each year from prescription drugs in the
United States and Europe. They [the drugs] cause an epidemic of about 20
times more hospitalizations [6.6 million annually], as well as falls,
road accidents, and [annually] about 80 million medically minor problems
such as pains, discomforts, and dysfunctions that hobble productivity
or the ability to care for others. Deaths and adverse effects from
overmedication, errors, and self-medication would increase these
figures." (ASA publication, "Footnotes," November 2014)
The statistics I'm quoting reveal a problem on the level of a tsunami sweeping across the whole of America and Europe.
Why won't major media report these facts?
The obvious reason: their big-spending pharmaceutical advertisers would drop them like hot potatoes.
But there are other reasons.
Every medical bureaucrat or medical shill or medical expert
who jumps aboard the media train, to assure the public that drugs and
vaccines are remarkably safe, is sitting on the time bomb I have
described above.
This is a key, key fact. If this bomb were widely recognized,
who would continue to believe these professional pundits? Who would
accept anything they say? How could they possibly sustain their
credibility?
"Well, the system I represent kills 2.25 million people per
decade, and maims between 20 and 40 million more people per decade, but I
want to assure you this vaccine presents no problems at all. It's
incredibly safe."
Every single pronouncement, on any subject, issued via the
medical cartel's Ministry of Truth would fall on disbelieving ears, and
only increase general outrage.
Mainstream reporters and editors and publishers are well
aware that telling the truth and continuing to pound on it would
undermine a basic institution of society.
The media are there to give credibility to society and its structures. That's why they're called "major" instead of "minor."
When hard rains fall, the media are there with an umbrella to
hold over organized society's head. To walk away in the middle of a
downpour would leave the status quo unprotected.
"Defending the Crown" is another way to put it. The King may
make mistakes, he may commit heinous offenses, but he is the King, and
therefore his position must remain secure.
Young journalists learn this point quickly. If in their zeal,
they cross the threshold and attempt to expose a central myth, fairy
tale, legend, they're put back in their place. They absorb the message.
Journalism has limits. Certain truths are silent truths.
Over the years, I've talked to reporters who are solidly
addicted to obfuscations. Like any addict, they have an army of excuses
to rationalize their behavior.
The medical experts are worse. Their pretense of idealism
knows no limits, and is matched only by their claim to bullet-proof
knowledge.
When you peel the veneer away, they are enablers, persons of interest, co-conspirators.
There is nothing quite like a high-minded,
socially-positioned, card-carrying member of the King's circle of
protectors. The arrogance is titanic. Because what is being hidden is so
explosive.
225,000 deaths a year at the hands of modern medicine. Two to
four million maimings. 2.25 million deaths per decade. The Crown is
responsible.
And yet it is the duty of the Crown to make his subjects feel safe and protected and even loved.
No wonder he needs such a large army of trained helpers in and around the press.
He has them.
But their monopoly is breaking down.
We're at the beginning of a new breakout level of truth. It's called independent media.
Stay tuned.
