Episode 286: Rockefeller Medicine
Welcome ladies and gentlemen, welcome, to another addition of The Corbett Report.
I'm your host James Corbett of corbettreport.com, coming to you as always
from the sunny climbs of western Japan, here on this 1st day of November, 2013.
Welcome to episode 286 of The Corbett Report podcast: Rockefeller Medicine.
Quote:
The crisis in today's health care system is deeply rooted in the interwoven
history of modern medicine and corporate capitalism.
The major groups and forces that shaped the medical system sowed the seeds of the crisis we now face.
The medical profession and other medical interest groups each tried to make medicine
serve their own narrow economic and social interests.
Foundations and other corporate class institutions insisted that medicine serve the needs of
"their" corporate capitalist society.
The dialectic of their common efforts and their clashes,
and the economic and political forces set in motion by their actions, shaped the system as it grew.
Out of this history emerged a medical system that poorly serves society's health needs.
end quote.
Well, a timely post there. So what is that taken from?
Is that a blog post by an outraged American citizen who is realizing that Obamacare is now
raising premiums of the average American out there by as much as 539%?
Or is this some sort of a snapping point that one of the liberal blogs has reached
in realizing that they have been duped and that healthcare, Obama-style, is not manna from heaven
in which government somehow magically gives people medicine from onhigh because they care
so much about them, but is in fact a fraud from top to bottom
that has been designed to further plunder the wealth of the average American?
No; actually, as a matter of fact this is a section, in fact the introduction to a book that was written in
1979 by E. Richard Brown
published by the University of California Press.
That's right, people have been talking for decades, and decades, and decades now about
how America's healthcare system is broken, and is certainly not serving the needs of Americans
with the highest medical rates, the highest proportion of salaries, and highest proportion of GDP
being spent on health care in America in the entire world.
This is, obviously, a problem of -well, excuse the pun-
epidemic proportions, and the question is, "how have we arrived at this spot?"
Well, there are some obvious answers to this and some not so obvious answers
and one of the not so obvious answers that is being studiously avoided in the left/right farcical phony
debate about Obamacare which, as always, tries to spin things off into
a phony left/right paradigm and a political agenda that doesn't really amount to any difference whatsoever
-One thing that is studiously avoided is, well, speeches like this by senator Max Baucus,
who helped pass the Obamacare act back in 2009,
and who was, at that time, thanking some of the people who made that act possible.
--And I want to single out one person. And that one person is sitting next to me,
--her name is Liz Fowler.
--Liz Fowler is my Chief Health Council; Liz Fowler has put my team together -healthcare team;
--Liz Fowler worked for me many years ago, since she left the private sector, then came back
--when she realized that she could be there at the creation of healthcare reform because she
--wanted to, in a certain sense, that to be her professional lifetime goal.
--She put together the White paper last November 2008, an 87 page document
--which became the basis, the foundation, the blueprint from which almost all healthcare
--measures and all bills, both sides of the aisle, came from.
--She's an amazing person; she's a lawyer; she's a PhD; she's just so decent; she's always smiling;
--she's always working, so is always available to help any senator and any staff
--and I just, I thank Liz the bottom of my heart and in many ways she typifies, she represents
--all of the people who've worked so hard to make this bill such a great accomplishment.
So what? You're thinking.
So who is this "Liz Fowler" anyway, and why is it so important to be bringing up this, well,
gushing and rather embarrassing praise from senator Baucus on the House floor?
Well, it's because Liz Fowler is not just someone who was formerly in 'private industry' as he tangentially
made mention of in that speech, but someone who, well, had a very interesting history
and one that we can even pick up from mainstream sources like NBCNEWS.com
which had a post back a few years ago:
'Fact or fiction? Senate chairman has ties to big insurer'
Quote:
Elizabeth Fowler, now serving as counsel to Baucus on the Finance Committee, worked as an executive,
not a lobbyist for WellPoint, the largest publicly traded commercial health benefits company,
from 2006 to 2008.
Prior to that, she'd worked for Baucus. Committee spokeswoman Erin Shields called Fowler
"one of the brightest health care minds in the Senate and she and the Finance Committee staff
have been working day and night" to reach the goal of reform that
"lowers costs and ensures quality affordable health care coverage," which is Baucus's priority.
Shields added that "the only factor that influences his decisions and the decisions of his staff
is whether a policy is right for his state and for the American people."
According to Senate records Michelle Easton, former chief health counsel to the Finance
Committee under Baucus, is lobbying for WellPoint for her firm Tarplin, Downs & Young.
end quote.
Well, of course, that MSM post obviously downplays the important aspects of this
-the fact that Liz Fowler, the person who Baucus was gushing about and who was absolutely
essential in bringing the Affordable Care Act to the American public, was not just a lobbyist for
America and the world's largest publicly traded health benefits company,
but was, in fact, an executive for them. And if we wanted to be even more specific, which, oddly
nbcnews.com decided not to be, she was a former vice-president of WellPoint.
So here we have someone in the very heart of the private insurance world coming in
to write the very Affordable Care Act, which is supposed to provide all of this wonderful manna
from heaven free healthcare to the public -except for the fact that it's going to cost the average American
much, much, much more to get insured under this new regime.
Here it is, unmasked for us all to see, the point at which the media has been studiously avoiding,
which is that, yes this is crony capitalism a.k.a. fascism a.k.a. corporatism to its core.
This is it for all the world to see, this is what it looks like, and this is exactly why healthcare costs in the
United States are absolutely out of control and only getting worse as the government comes along to
"fix it" and "make it better" with the help of their friends in WellPoint ☺
and other private health insurance companies ♡ -absolutely ridiculous.
And the fact that most people in the audience probably don't even know this fact is outrageous
considering the amount of "coverage" that the mainstream media has given Obamacare
in recent months and recent years and by coverage of course I mean, cover up.
Well, we could examine this in more detail today, but today I want to look more at the roots of this
fascist/corporatist system and how it developed, specifically with regards to the healthcare industry
because, obviously, that is something of pressing importance for Americans and people around the
world in this day and age
and it's important to know that this did not come about through happenstance or mere chance,
this happened as a result of a concerted and carefully plotted plan that was laid out generations ago
by people with malice of forethought, we'll put it that way. And, just for an example of how and when and
why and who this plan developed and originated from, we should turn back to that book that we opened
today with reading that short passage from the introduction.
I mentioned it was by E. Richard Brown, it was published by UC Press in 1979, but I did not
mention the title of that book, which is "Rockefeller Medicine Men:
Medicine & Capitalism in America".
Oh, that's right folks,
the American healthcare system really does go back to the Rockefeller family.
--As legislatures under Rockefeller's leadership, he set up the American League of Municipalities,
--which controlled all the small towns of the United States, and the American Association of State
--Governments, which controlled all the state governments in the United States, including the
--legislatures. And they used the state legislatures to draft new methods for controlling doctors and hospitals.
--And so all hospitals and all doctors had to be licensed through state legislature, which sounded
--wonderful if you didn't know what was going on- that you had to go through John D Rockefeller to get a
--medical license and a hospital license.
--Wow
--That's what it amounted to, and that's the system we have today and today we have become the
--sickest nation in the world and the most expensive medical care in the world, except you never get well
--which seems to work out for everybody except the patients.
--Works for the doctors doesn't it?
--Good for the doctors.
--Drug companies...
--Oh yeah, so everybody's happy, except the poor patients. And whenever you go to the doctor today
--and he prescribes the medicine for you, he says, "You're going to have to take this medication for
--the rest of your life" because it's against AMA principals to ever cure anybody; they've actually
--brought doctors up on charges of curing people (laughs) and they've drone some of them out of the
--AMA for that very reason, because you're curing people! (laughs)
--because this might be the right thing to do from a business standpoint; it's better to keep them sick
--and keep them buying the medicine, which they buy from the Rockefeller drug companies and go to the
--Rockefeller hospitals, and "everybody" is happy.
--And now they have the scam where if you can't afford it the government's gonna buy the drugs from
--the Rockefellers and give it to ya right?
--Well that's why they have the medicare system, because they developed Medicare -
--I point out in my book 'Murder By Injection' that for many years the AMA spent millions of dollars
--in Congress to fight medicare because it was called "government medicine" and they didn't want-
--the doctors were very independent, and they didn't want the government to control their business.
--Well they wound up as employees of the government (laughs) and that's what they are today.
--And now -this new drug act- they're gonna supply the drugs to the people that can't afford it with the
--taxpayers' money, and the drug companies will STILL get the money.
--They get the money, yeah. Because a lot of the people who are buying drugs today and medications,
--like elderly people like myself, they couldn't afford the drugs so the government will pay for them.
--What a racket!
--Well, it shows that these people are good businessmen [laughs].
--Ha, very good. Well they're not very ethical though!
--Well, you and I can never think of such a diabolical plan... [laughs]
Well, that's right, you and I never could think of such a diabolical plan, but unfortunately that doesn't
stop those who can, and we suffer from a lack of imagination on many of these subjects,
which makes us perfect victims for those who would so abuse positions of power and influence in order
to increase one's own profitability.
Well, that of course was a brief snippet of an interview with Eustace Mullins, and of course I'll
put the link in to the full video interview so you can watch that on YouTube along with, of course,
all of the other things I mention in today's episode in the shownotes, at CorbettReport.com,
But, well, this is a pretty grand claim to be making:
that the Rockefellers were absolutely essential in shaping modern American medicine
and this could be cast aside as mere conspiracy theory by those who are not so familiar with
the Rockefellers or their influence. And for example, I mean, just as one example of that we could cast our
minds back to 'The Last Word on Snake Oil',
a video that I produced a couple of years ago,
showing that the Rockefellers' roots, ironically enough, really does go back to "medicine"
a.k.a. fake medicine a.k.a. snake oil, as the progenitor of the Rockefeller dynasty, John D
Rockefeller's father, was in fact, not only a bigamist and a huckster, but, in fact, also someone who
literally sold snake oil, attempting to "cure peoples' cancer" and billing himself as a doctor when he was,
in fact, not a doctor. So, the Rockefeller's roots and their first attempt at amassing a fortune really does
go straight back to the idea of attempting to cure peoples' cancer while doing nothing of the sort.
That's just an ironic bit of history lesson, and I'll include the link into that video as well so you
can go watch "The Last Word on Snake Oil", which I think is still very relevant today, but again there
may be some who think "oh, Rockefeller... You're just coming up with these crazy conspiracy theories...
What do the Rockefellers have to do with medicine anyway??"
--How did working for a Nobel Laureate at the Rockefeller University shape your science career?
--So, that was a pretty serendipitous event in my life.
--I knew I wanted to come back to New York City and I was applying to post-doctoral positions in NYC
--and a friend of mine at the time, who was in NYC, said to me
--"If you're gonna go and do your post-doc there, you should go to the best possible place you can go, and that's the Rockefeller University."
--And for people who aren't familiar with it, the Rockefeller University is one of the most unique
--Universities you'll ever come across. It doesn't have an undergraduate program, it has a graduate program
--and an MD PhD program; it's small, it has no departments, it has no silos.
--It's unbelievably well-funded. It's an amazing intellectual place.
--And I applied, and got an interview in this guy Paul Greengard's lab. I was interested in the stuff that he
--was doing. I went on my interview, gave a presentation, went out to dinner with him
--and, got the offer.
--And five months later he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
--and I never could have known that that was going to happen when I accepted my position in the lab.
--And I always joked with him afterwards that it's good that I got in before he won the Nobel Prize
--because after he got it the applications to the lab were skyrocketing and I always thought
--I would never get in and he always said "yes, you would still get in. You would still get in".
--But, that experience showed me the best of science: what's it like to be in the most world renowned, successful laboratories?
--What's it like to be a scientist in a lab where funding isn't, -you know-
--the biggest issue, like it is in most labs?
Well, oh yes. I mean- THAT Rockefeller family... Yes, the Rockefeller foundation, the Rockefeller
University... yes, oh OK. Well I mean the Rockefeller NAME is associated with medicine, but
but not the family. I mean they haven't had anything to do with it since the founding
of the Rockefeller foundation back in the early 20th century... right?
Well, this is of course something that is not really controversially for anyone who's actually
studied the literature on the subject, which continues to amass a pace. In fact,
earlier this year there was a book released via the auspices of Guangxi Normal University Press,
published by a Chinese scholar, entitled,
'To Change China, the Rockefeller Foundation's Century Long Journey in China'
which notes that, again, the Rockefeller foundation was absolutely essential in shaping modern Chinese
medicine, as well as the American medical system, and just reading from a short article
on this, on Global Times it says, quote:
"The concept of "traditional Chinese medicince" (TCM), that stood in opposition to Westen medicine,
developed in the late 19th century. Before that, Chinese doctors were open and flexible in their
acceptance of Western treatments and ideas, but as Western techniques and theories outstripped Chinese
ones, and cultural conflicts developed, the idea that traditional Chinese treatments were either outdated
or needed to be defended developed, culminating in a division of Chinese medical practitioners
into 'Western' and 'Chinese' medicine by the 1920s.
In her book, 'To Change China: The Rockefeller Foundation's Century Long Journey in China',
just published in Chinese,
Ma Quisha, associate professor of East Asian Studies at Oberlin College, holds that NGOs,
especially the Rockefeller Foundation, contributed to this process.
The basis of Western modern philanthropy had been established, and the West was moving toward
modern ideals of evidence-based medicine when Rockefeller Foundation,
endowed by billionaire John D. Rockefeller, entered China in the early 20th century.
With the spreading of the missionary movements, Rockefeller became increasingly interested in China.
His foundation bought the Union Medical School and renamed it the 'Peking Union Medical College'.
The foundation not just wanted to establish a first-class school of medicine in China. It also introduced
the US Johns Hopkins model to the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and viewed it as a
'laboratory of their social ideas', which reflects the foundations ambition to change China."
end quote.
I'll let you continue reading on on that subject, and reading the book if you are so inclined,
but that's just ONE indication of the massive global reach that the Rockefeller family and the Rockefeller
foundation had, very much so, in the early 20th century and which continues to shape the societal
and educational, and medical and all sorts of other institutional practices -and institutions themselves-
to this very day, as reflected by the previous clip that we just watched.
But, again it's not a conspiracy and it's very much documented history -how the Rockefeller
Foundation, in cooperation with some of the other corporate foundations that developed via the
auspices of the robber barrens of the 19th century,
had a profound effect on shaping American medical discourse in the late 19th/early 20th century.
And again, this has been documented many times, many ways, and many places by many people,
so let's take a look at just one example that goes towards explaining how the modern system of
allopathic medicine, as opposed to homeopathic medicine, developed as a result of the Rockefellers
and their influence.
--The answer to this question may be found in some historic events that took place almost a century ago.
--when official medicine finally managed to gain the upperhand on the so-called 'empirical' doctors
--who cured patients with herbs and natural remedies.
--In the 1800s societies sanctioned both approaches to healing;
--patients had a choice of using either doctors called allopaths
--or natural healers called empirics, or homeopaths.
--The two groups waged a bitter philosophical debate.
--The allopathic doctors called their approach 'heroic medicine'. They believed the physician must
--aggressively drive disease from the body.
--They based their practice on what they considered scientific theory.
--The allopaths used three main techniques: they bled the body to drain out the bad humours, they gave
--huge doses of toxic minerals like mercury and lead to displace the original disease,
--they also used surgery, but it was a brutal procedure before anesthesia and infection control.
--Few patients were willing to have surgery, most patients feared allopathic methods altogether.
--Satirists of the day remarked that with alopathic treatment, the patient died of the cure.
--Competing with the doctors were the empiric healers. Contrary to the doctors, they believed in
--stimulating the body's own defenses to heal itself. Instead of poisonous minerals, they used vegetable
--products and non-toxic substances in small quantities;
--They especially favored herbs learned from Native American and old European traditions.
--The empirics said they based their remedies not on theory, but on observation and experience.
--Satirists of the day added that, "with empiric treatment, the patient died of the disease,
--not the cure", and the balance of medical power remained equal until the turn of the century,
--then new medical treatments emerged that were potentially very profitable.
--The AMA joined with strong financial forces to transform medicine into an industry.
--The fortunes of Carnegy, Morgan, and Rockefeller financed surgery, radiation, and sythetic drugs.
--They were to become the economic foundations of the new medical economy.
--The takeover of the medical industry was accomplished by a takeover of the medical schools.
--Well, the people that we're talking about, Rockefeller and Carnegie in particular,
--came to the picture and said "We will put up money."
--They offered tremendous amounts of money to the schools that would agree to cooperate with them.
--The donors said to the schools, "We're giving you all of this money,
--Now, would it be too much to ask if we could put some of our people on your board of directors
--to see that our money is being spent wisely?"
--Almost overnight all of the major universities recieved large grants from these sources
--and also accepted one, two, or three of these people that I mentioned on their board of directors,
--and the schools, literally, were taken over by the financial interests that put up the money.
--Now what happened as a result of that is that the schools did receive an infusion of money,
--they were able to build new buildings, they were able to add expensive equipment to their labs,
--they were able to hire top-notch teachers,
--but at the same time as doing that, they skewed the whole thing in the direction of pharmaceutical drugs.
--That was the efficiency in philanthropy.
--The doctors from that point forward in history would be taught pharmaceutical drugs.
--All of the great teaching institutions in America were captured by the pharmaceutical interests
--in this fashion, and it's amazing how little money it really took to do it.
--Surgery became viable with anesthesia and infection control and doctors advocated expensive,
--radical operations; these, in turn, produced the need for a large lucrative hospital system.
--Radium fever swept medicine. The price of radium rose 1000%, almost overnight.
--Another costly technological industry entered the hospital system.
--A drug industry grew out of the booming patent medicine business.
--The doctors changed educational standards and licensing regulations to exclude the empirics.
--Soon, only AMA approved doctors could legally practice medicine.
--In a brief 20 years, the AMA came to dominate medical practice.
--Organized medicine launched a media campaign to associate the empirics with quacks.
--The code word for competition was "quackery".
--So now, the average doctor goes through school, he gets a great education,
--He has to be really smart to get through it, he learns all about drugs,
--he doesn't know too much about basic nutrition;
--I've found that the average wife of these physicians knows more about nutrition than he does,
--but they sure know their drugs, and if you go to your typical doctor today I don't care what it is -
--Chances are you are going to walk out of there a prescription - why?
--because that's what he has been trained to do.
We can see from all of this, I think, the bare threads of this argument and how the Rockefeller foundation
really was influential in shaping the modern American medical system and what it has become,
where the Obamacare actually forces people to buy into the private health insurance industry
which, of course, only further inflates the rates of healthcare and makes it even less accessible
for people who are struggling to make ends meet as it is, while the very richest of the very top,
the -not 1%, but the .0001%:
the Rockefellers and others at the very very top who own the banks that print the money-
continue to expand and expand and expand their wealth, even as the people
on the lowest economic wrung of American society continue to fall ever downwards.
Again, this is a rediculous system that could not have developed in any other way, but
through the careful machinations of an institution like the Rockefeller foundation and the people who
were steering it at the time, not necessarily the Rockefeller family so much as people like Frederick
Gates, who is an interesting character who we will have more to say about in future episodes of this
podcast, but people like that very much helped to shape this idea of philanthropy as a tool for social
control, and this is a point that is so fundamental it needs to be made again and again and to point out
that when "free lunches" occur, they are never really free and this is something we all understand
intuitively and, yet, that thinking goes out the window for many people when they see a "free" government program.
"Oh, the government is going to provide free healthcare!"
-"Well, not really free, but it's basically like they're providing healthcare to the people,
because they care so much♥..." Think again.
And, well, let's start flushing this out and let's start to take a look at the motivations behind a family like
the Rockefellers, and why they would institute a system like what we have in this day and age.
What is it that compels and motivates these people to do what they are doing?
The first and basic, and most easily understandable way that we can parse what is happening
is, of course, to look at the profit motive because make no mistake about it, there is a profit motive
a very obvious one for a family that made it's fortune in the petro-chemical industry (in oil specifically):
to find other uses for their petrochemicals,
including the manufacture of modern medicines, which do rely to a large extent on petrochemicals.
Hey, how, look at that!
Suddenly the dominant theme of Western medicine becomes: How can we give people
more petrochemical based medicines, which we can jack up and inflate the price?
This is something that I think should be pretty easy to understand, and the way that this was deliberately
engineered into society can again be documented by people like Eustace Mullins who we were
listening to earlier in this podcast. And we'll listen to a clip from a different interview, one that goes back
even further, a couple of decades now, to talk more about the process by which the Rockefellers did
implement this system, and Eustace Mullins is someone who should know,
having reasearched this topic carefully
for one of his books, 'Murder by Injection: The Story of the Medical Conspiracy Against America',
which does go on to document how the Rockefellers have important board members on basically
every major pharmeceutical company and insurance company in America, at least at the time of writing
of Mullin's work, every single board included at least two or three Rockefeller company men
who were associated with the Rockefeller bank or
Rockefeller foundation or some Rockefeller institution or other, so it should be no surprise there
and it should be no great mystery how all of this comes together to create a system
that benefits people like the Rockefellers, financially.
 
--The greatest achievement of the modern Drug Trust was the invention of the thousand-dollar pill.
--They now have one pill that costs a thousand dollars, which you use in cancer and various things.
--And nature, unfortunately, has never learned how to make a thousand-dollar pill, so obviously
--nature is no good, as far as the medical monopoly is concerned.
--Well tell us before we get into all of that: What's the difference between homeopathic medicine and
--allopathic? And that's part of what we're discussing also.
--Tell us a little bit about that, if you would, Eustace Mullins.
--Well, what you're talking about is a historic situation...
--In the 19th century most Americans thrived on what is called homeopathic medicine,
--which is mostly natural-pathic remedies available through nature, in abundance, at low cost.
--Well, the medical monopoly, which was formed in 1847 as the American Medical Association,
--they didn't like this. They thought: How are doctors going to get rich and how are we going to control
--the people through the medical monopoly,
--when they can go to these homeopathic people and get these remedies at a very low cost?
--So, the first plank of the AMA was "We will never allow any homeopathic physician to become a
--member of the AMA" and they never have.
--But the AMA was still in a minority. So, around the turn of the century John D. Rockefeller realized there
--were great potentialities of profit in the medical industry and so he took over the medical profession
--and now you say, "How could anybody take over the medical profession?"
--Well, first you have to have a lot of money, and second you have to have a lot of power.
--Well, he had both, and he did.
--So, he revamped the entire medical system of treatment of the people of the United States
--which had been homeopathic. He switched it over to allopathic medicine, which is a different type
--of practice originating in Germany. And the great attraction of allopathic medicine is it relies
--on radical surgery -I mean if you can't cure it, cut it off- and the heavy use of drugs
--because when you're having your limbs cut off, you need a lot of drugs because it's very disturbing,
--and lengthy hospital stays.
--None of which are features of homeopathic medicines -entirely the reverse.
--So, by taking over the medical industry in 1910 through studies which he made through the Carnegie foundation,
--John D. Rockefeller emerged as the kingpin of the medical monopoly in the United States
--And he now presided over an allopathic system of medicine, controlled through every legislature
--by accreditation of hospitals, control of physicians, control of medications and which is essentially
--what we have today.
--So from 1910 when this change was affected, right to the present day, the cost of healthcare has
--multiplied astronomically in the United States to the point where it is no longer available
--to most American citizens... So, how did they counter act this?
--When they got us to the point where the average working man could not afford hospital care
--or the allopathic system of treatment, they set up an insurance industry: medical insurance.
--And through this they were able to spread out the costs among everybody.
--Health insurance today is simply another tax on the American people,
--in fact, it functions through the Social Security system as a tax on the recipients of Social Security.
--You say, "Well, now that you've reached your senior citizen's bank, you have social security coming in,
--so then they jerk back a good portion of it as medicare cost, which they raise every year...
--And so eventually, probably, Social Security and Medicare will be equal.
--So you'll get a check every month which will be $000. They say, "Well, here's your Social Security
--check, but we've deducted your Medicare costs and so now you get $0."
--And it's funneled into the Rockefeller-style monopoly, whoever's involved in it.
--Oh, all of the money from the health industry goes into the medical monopoly and the drug trust.
--Interestingly enough, the Rockefellers control every major drug company in the world,
--and when I say control, I mean directly.
--They have, among the directors and the officials of each of the 18 largest drug companies in the world,
--they have men from Chase Manhattan bank, from the Exxon oil company, and so forth.
--So they're right there. I have all of their names in my book, 'Murder by Injection'.
--And with this kind of control, and the monopoly, they have been jacking up the health costs
--on the American people -monthly- not yearly, but monthly.
I think all of this is easy enough to understand and easy enough to follow from A to B to C to see
how the Rockefeller family and John D. Rockefeller, with an almost incalculable fortune back at the turn
of the century, was able to parlay that fortune into a foundation -tax exempt foundation, let's not forget-
that was able to invest its resources in "philinthropic concerns" that even helped to parlay that fortune
even further, so that Rockefeller's heirs are even more substantially wealthy. Although, not if you read
Forbes wealthiest men in the world list... But, do you really trust that list?
Suffice it to say, I think it is easy enough to understand how the Rockefeller foundation has
been used to further Rockefeller cartel interests and we've seen that in previous editions to this podcast,
for example "The Truth About the Gene Revolution",
where we looked at how the Green Revolution and then the Gene revolution
-both Rockefeller funded and supported endeavors-
have gone on to serve Rockefeller cartel interests in the monopolization of the food supply.
Well, in the precise same way, we can document and look at how the monoplization of healthcare services
in the United States has, again, furthered the Rockefeller cartel interests,
this time in the Rockefeller drug empire and the pharmecuetical industry that is related to it.
But, I think we also have to understand that there is something deeper behind this,
an agenda that goes beyond the mere profit motive,
because it is something of a truism that once we get into the rarefied part of the economic stratosphere
that the Rockefellers and Rothschilds and the other .0001% of the elite reside in,
where they not only have access to unlimited amounts of wealth, but access to the processes
by which that wealth is created, and/or destroyed, i.e. the banks themselves that create the money
out of thin air, I think we understand that profit isn't in and of itself a motivating driving factor for the
David Rockefellers and others of the world.
There has to be something more fundamental at base,
and as I've made the point many many times on this podcast and in the interviews that I do,
I think that, at the end of the day, this is not about money, this is about power
and money can be parlayed and used as a type of currency to buy and purchase power, but
ultimately it is the power itself that is the important factor in this equation and this power is being
wielded for a specific purpose: the driving motivating ideology of these cartel families
and one that has motivated them demonstrably for generations;
which is to say eugenics and depopulation.
In 1952 John D. III founded The Population Council, an organization dedicated to promoting the now
debunked fear that overpopulation would ravage the earth and cause mass death by the year 2000.
Rockefeller appointed Frederick Osborn, the leader of the American Eugenics Society, as its first president.
In the '60s the Rockefellers funded a WHO administered task force on vaccines for
fertility regulation, that developed anti-fertility vaccines, a task force that eventually
succeeded in developing an anti-HCG vaccine that caused spontaneous abortions in vaccinated women.
In the '90s WHO administered tetanus vaccine programs in multiple countries were racked with
scandal, when it was discovered that vaccines were laced with HCG and causing spontaneous abortions
in the third-world populations who were being unknowingly injected with them.
David Rockefeller continues to promulgate the same overpopulaiton fear mongering,
always framing a problem so as to posit the United Nations as the only solution without noting
that the UN was built on land donated by his family on the ashes of the League of Nations,
an organization founded by Rockefellers and their family allies.
Last year David Rockefeller hosted a meeting of billionaires including Ted Turner, George Soros,
Bill Gates, and others at which they concluded that overpopulation was the world's most pressing problem.
--The Rockefeller foundation gives grants to planned parenthood, the population council, and others.
--You can see here in 1997 they did a study actually giving fertility control agents to people in India.
--Here is the research grant in action and if you remember just a minute ago I talked about
--the Population Council -these people are getting money from the Rockefeller foundation.
--They said "Mass use of fertility control agent by government to regulate births at an acceptable level"
--This is actually here, once again, public information by the Population Council from 1969
--The overall Rockefeller goal?
--Well they say in part-quote "Science would eventually come to control the fundamental
--processes of biology". They literally want to control the entire cycle of life, from birth to death and
--everything in between. They want to control hormones, they want to control glands, they
--want to control genes. They have no limit to what they attend to accomplish and all of their funding
--towards genetic research and more has been part of this goal.
--It was part of their ultimate means of social control and social engineering -eugenics.
--Ironically, however, the very innovations that are making possible dramatic improvements in human
--well-being, are also creating new problems, which raise the specter of an alarming
--and possibly catastrophic disaster to the biosphere we live in.
--And herein lies the dilemma that we all face. Let me illustrate.
--Improved public health has caused the world's infant mortality rate to decline by 60% over
--the last 40 years. In the same period, the world's average life expectancy has increased from 46 years
--in 1950s to 63 years today. This is a development which as individuals we can only applaud, however,
--the result of these positive measures is a world population that has risen during the same short period
--of time geometrically to almost six billion people and could easily exceed 8 billion by the year 2020.
--The negative impact of population growth on all of our planetary ecosystems is becoming appallingly evident.
There is a guiding, motivating, driving ideology behind these 0.0001% economic elites,
the powers that shouldn't be. It is the desire to get rid of you and me and the people around us
from the gene pool so that they and their progeny can survive into the future.
Well, that is a pretty dark note on which to leave things, but unfortunately this is the real
underlying reality behind the modern American healthcare system and the problems that we see
developing out of it, and it's not problems that are going to be fixed by some manna-from-heaven
Affordable Care Act or anything that is launched or initiated or spearheaded by the bought and
payed for executive branch or the bought and payed for legislature, or upheld in the Supreme Court
by the bought and payed for Judicial branch of the US government. Once again, the answer is not
going to come from the US government or its bought and payed for corporate cronies
Because this is, of course, the system that has been engineered carefully over the course of generations
and shaped by the Rockefeller foundation and other very special interests
who literally control the access to resources on the planet.
This is a point that we've talked about in previous episodes, we will continue to elaborate in future
episodes, and we will continue to talk about healthcare and the ways that modern and Western
medicine is not 100% evil, that would be cartoonish and too simplistic, it does certainly provide some
benefits, but it is the poison pills that they're able to insert
(sometimes literally poison pills) that they are able to insert into that mix which is
the insidious part of all of this, and I think there's a lot more to be said about eugenics and depopulation
and how this figures in to it, but as I say,
we will leave that for further explorations in further episodes of this podcast,
but today I'm going to leave all of you out there with the dual task this week,
not only of continuing this research for yourself as always and informing me of what you find through
the contact forum at corbettreport.com, but perhaps more importantly, spreading
the information we've looked at today to others as the Obamacare fiasco makes this a
talking point in American society at any rate at the moment, this is a prime opportunity to inform others
about the real roots of the modern american healthcare system
and how we arrived at this spot in the first place.
It is not just happenstance, it's not just one of those things you shrug your shoulders and say,
"Well, I wonder how America became the most expensive healthcare system in the world",
it has been engineered that way carefully through methodical planning
over the course of generations by people with almost unthinkable amounts of wealth
and access to resources to make that happen.
So, I will once again leave you today with that humble task of attempting to spread this to others
and inserting some truth into the conversations that are happening right now about Obamacare
and, on that note, I am thanking you, once again, for joining me for this addition of the podcast
and asking you to join me again next week for another edition.
