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...
