The Drug Story

 

By Morris A. Bealle

Essay by Hans Ruesch

http://educate-yourself.org/fc/drugstory.shtml

 

" 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.
