Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Disturbing updates to two recent Daily Dose feature threads... Last month, I wrote a three-part series for the Daily Dose about your right to " informed consent " in the testing of new medical treatments (read: drugs) - or rather, your lack thereof under little-known, built-in loopholes in federal law... Well, already there's somewhat of an update to this story - one that's pretty damn startling, if you ask me. Actually, it's more like a parallel component of the same story - the erosion of your basic American right to know what untested substances are being pumped into your body by doctors or healthcare professionals (or agents of the government) in the name of security, public safety, or " medical advancement. " Here's the new angle: Much like the federal law (21CFR50.24) which allows just about anyone in a lab coat to use American citizens for test animals for whatever needle or pill Big Pharma wants to try out, the U.S. Congress is inches from passing yet another piece of legislation making it easier for the establishment to test their chemicals out on YOU... Shocker. According to a recent alert from a group called Citizens for Legitimate Government, the Senate just granted passage to a Bill that establishes a new government agency called the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). This law expands the U.S. government's power to test drugs - most likely vaccines - on the citizenry. Under the legislation which will no doubt soon breathe life into this BARDA monster (called the Pandemic and All-hazards Preparedness Act), all that has to happen for your right to informed consent to swirl down the toilet of corrupt political morass is this: The Department of Homeland Security must declare a public health emergency... Once that happens - are you ready for this - Big Brother's new jack-booted drug thugs will be able to QUARANTINE AND FORCE EXPERIMENTAL MEDICATION on anyone they want. What's worse is that under the law, anyone injured by these drugs or vaccines would have no legal recourse in civil courts. The House is set to vote on this invasive measure imminently. I'll keep you posted as this outrageous deadly farce develops. And speaking of outrageous farces in which people could die - and soon... ust days ago, I regaled you with a two-part series about six foreign medical workers (five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor) who've been rotting in a Libyan prison for over eight years... Their " crime " according to Colonel Qaddafi's stooges: Intentionally infecting around 400 Libyan children with HIV. Of course, these charges are trumped up. Details of the scandal plainly show that these foreign aid workers are being used as scapegoats to hide the horrendous conditions in Libya's hospitals - and to falsely implicate Israel (the charges maintain some absurd conspiracy involving Israeli secret agents), as well as trying to extort $50 million from the dirt-poor Bulgarian government... As you'll recall from my essay series, over 100 Nobel Laureates have denounced the Libyan government for its actions in this matter. So has the British government, the White House, and just about every other civilized, non-Islamic nation on Earth. Despite this international pressure, an appeal on these workers' death sentence was upheld by a Libyan court in late December. Lawyers for the condemned six have appealed the decision again. They're now solely at the mercy of the corrupt Libyan courts and their misguided interpretation of Islamic law... I'll keep you posted on their fate. But it doesn't look good.
