FDA Scientists Accuse Own Administration of Corruption, Intimidation

and Scientific Censorship

Monday, January 12, 2009 by: Mike , NaturalNews Editor

NaturalNews) FDA scientists have become so fed up with the criminal

behavior of their own administration that they've filed a strongly-

worded complaint with President-elect Obama, alleging the FDA has

been deeply " corrupted and distorted. "

FDA managers, the letter explains, are " placing the American people

at risk " by using tactics of intimidation to censor scientific debate

within the FDA. This scientific censorship agenda, of course, mirrors

the exact same tactics used by the FDA outside the agency against

makers of nutritional supplements or herbal products. Intimidation

and censorship, it seems, are part of the very fabric of the FDA.

The letter explains that FDA managers " have ignored serious safety

and effectiveness concerns of FDA experts. " It then goes on to

explain:

" Managers have ordered, intimidated and coerced FDA experts to modify

scientific evaluations, conclusions and recommendations in violation

of the laws, rules and regulations, and to accept clinical and

technical data that is not scientifically valid. "

In other words, the FDA is being run like a criminal mob operation

with a complete disregard for actual science.

Fascinatingly, this letter shows that the FDA's own scientists agree

with the NaturalNews view that the FDA is running a criminal racket,

using the very same tactics relied on by organized crime!

The scientists also complain that FDA managers " committed the most

outrageous misconduct by ordering, coercing and intimidating FDA

physicians and scientists to recommend approval, and then retaliating

when the physicians and scientists refused to go along. "

This is the latest escalation in a war of words between FDA

scientists and FDA managers. A previous incident occurred in

November, 2008, when many of the same scientists sent a letter to

members of Congress and the House Energy and Commerce Committee

(http://www.naturalnews.com/024910.html). NaturalNews characterized

the action as a " revolt " of FDA scientists.

That revolt has apparently escalated into something that might turn

into outright mutiny.

The fraud of mammography

In this most recent letter, which was acquired by the Wall Street

Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1231425...), the scientists

also specifically named mammography devices as being fraudulently

approved by the FDA. Mammography equipment has never been proven safe

and effective at preventing breast cancer, and the FDA's own

scientists explain that the equipment produces far too many false

positives which result in unnecessary (toxic) cancer treatments being

given to otherwise healthy women.

Mammography equipment, of course, emits so much radiation that it

actually causes breast cancer. As previous scientific studies have

shown, ten women are harmed by mammograms for every one woman that's

helped (http://www.naturalnews.com/024536.html).

But the FDA approved mammography equipment anyway, despite its

complete lack of scientific support. Why did they do that? Because

mammography is a recruiting tool for the profit-focused cancer

industry, and the more women get mammograms, the more can be scared

into submitting to expensive, profitable breast cancer treatments.

It's quite a scam. And the FDA's own scientists are onto it.

The bottom line? FDA bureaucrats need to be arrested

It's quite clear that there's a war brewing between FDA scientists

and FDA bureaucrats (managers). The managers are operating as

criminals, using intimidation, censorship, and all sorts of other arm-

twisting tactics to try to force the scientists to approve dangerous

medical devices or drugs.

The scientists, on the other hand, are trying to protect consumers.

They're attempting to apply good science to their decisions, but

they're being overruled by the political decisions of FDA managers,

many of which have undisclosed financial ties to drug companies and

medical device manufacturers.

It's time to end this criminal racket at the FDA. NaturalNews urges

Obama to announce a clean sweep of the FDA where top managers are

placed under arrest, investigated and prosecuted for their crimes

against the People of the United States of America.

NaturalNews will be sponsoring an online petition later this month

that calls for the Obama administration to reform the FDA and restore

health freedoms to the American people.

To put it bluntly, the FDA has become an enemy of the People, and in

order to protect the People, we must end the tyranny of the FDA.

This inescapable fact is now so apparent that even the FDA's own

scientists are saying much the same thing.

NaturalNews is available to receive leaks from FDA scientists who

wish to serve the public interest by exposing certain pieces of

information from inside the FDA. Our commitment to protecting our

sources is unparalleled. We will guarantee 100% anonymity to any

source from inside the FDA that leaks information to us, as long as

you follow our instructions below (you can assume your home phone and

personal emails are tapped).

Contact us through a public internet cafe, public library computer or

a friend's computer. Post your information to our feedback form and

provide a way that we can (indirectly) reach you or get you a

message. Do NOT use your FDA email, home phone number, cell phone

number or other information that could be linked directly back to

you. It would not be beyond the FDA to use secret police-style

tactics to conduct surveillance on their own dissenting scientists,

or to even put a bullet in the head of a scientist they discovered

was leaking secrets. After all, if the agency is willing to sacrifice

the lives of millions of American consumers in order to protect the

profits of drug companies and medical device manufacturers, they

certainly wouldn't hesitate to take out a rogue scientist who

threatened to expose their crimes. Please exercise extreme caution

and take all necessary steps to protect yourself.

NaturalNews supports FDA scientists like Dr. Graham. We

understand that the managers and bureaucrats have corrupted the

agency, and we support the plight of FDA scientists who wish to see

their own agency reformed and credibility restored. The way to do

that is to see the removal or arrest of top FDA managers. And the

easiest way to accomplish that is to go public with information that

would expose their crimes.

Remember this: The FDA is only one scandal away from total reform. If

a big enough scandal can be made public, the outcry for reform would

give Washington lawmakers the political clout they need to take

serious action at the FDA. And that's the only way FDA scientists are

ever going to get their power back.
