Robber Barons - At it Again by Ben Taylor
The Pharma-Industrial Complex is at it again.
Using it’s enormous influence within Congress and with it’s
almost total control of the USFDA, rules have been designed and
readied to completely gut the God-given Rights of American citizens
to choose how to best care for their own health. This so-called
final rule for dietary supplement good manufacturing practices
(CGMPs) if allowed to stand would lay the ground work for an almost
complete shutdown of most small supplement manufacturing businesses.
The FDA is not a benevolent organization out to
protect the interests of the citizens of this nation; it is a
non-Constitutional “administrative entity” acting
under “color of law” with its’ “officials”
acting under “color of office” and is nothing less
than a hammer to protect the interests of big pharmaceutical companies
and the medical establishment industry. Its’ primary purpose
is to eliminate the competition of small dietary supplement companies
and, by force if necessary, to either regulate them out of business
or to bring them under the complete control of the FDA, which
in reality means under the control of the big multi-national drug
companies.
The FDA itself states in this 800 page “rule”,
“We find that this final rule will have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.... Establishments
with above average costs, and even establishments with average
costs, could be hard pressed to continue to operate. Some of these
may decide it is too costly and either change product lines or
go out of business.... 140 very small [less than 20 employees]
and 32 small dietary supplement manufacturers [less than 500 employees]
will be at risk of going out of business.... costs per establishment
are proportionally higher for very small than for large establishments....The
regulatory costs of this final rule will also discourage new small
businesses from entering the industry.” They are openly
and arrogantly admitting their purpose and goal.
Remember one thing, the God-given, unalienable
Rights that this nation was founded upon have not changed and
will never change. It is worth reading and remembering a document
signed on July 04, A.D. 1776 by a small group of men who had a
vision that transformed political reality around the world. Following
are a few key paragraphs excerpted, in the interest of brevity,
from that “Declaration of Independence”. First, I
would like to define one of the most important words in this document.
There is much that can be written about this declaration and understanding
this one word is one of the keys to understanding what this document
means. That word is “unalienable”.
“Unalienable” means, “incapable
of being aliened, that is being, sold or transferred”. To
break it down further, “Un” simply means, “Not”.
“Alienable” means, “Proper to be the subject
of alienation or transfer”. “Lien” means, “A
claim, encumbrance, or charge on property of payment of some debt,
obligation or duty”.
Most understand what it means to have a lien against their home
or their car, but few have put this concept together with their
basic God-given and non-negotiable Rights. If a thing cannot be
aliened, sold or transferred, then it is “non-negotiable”,
meaning, “not capable of passing title or property by endorsement
or delivery.” This means that even you and I cannot give
our God-given Rights away. We are stuck with them whether we want
them or not.
To harken back to small book called “The
Law”, by Frederick Bastiat, the axiom in this equation that
must be remembered is that Rights given by the Creator/God cannot
be taken from one man by another man or group of men. Only God
has the Right to place a “Lien” on Rights that he
has given. Using a commercial law concept, one man cannot be the
“holder in value” or “holder in due course”
of another man’s God-given Rights- no matter what.
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them
with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the
separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of
Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel
them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among
Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established
should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly
all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing
the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train
of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object
evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is
their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and
to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such
is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former
Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great
Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all
having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny
over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a
candid world.
…Nor have We been wanting in attentions
to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time
of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction
over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration
and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice
and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our
common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably
interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been
deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore,
acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and
hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in
Peace Friends.
I submit to you that one of those “unalienable”
Rights that the Creator has endowed us with is a right that the
“Robber Barons”, the criminal cartel of the FDA and
the drug companies would place a “lien” on. That is
the individual Right to decide how best to care for our health.
I believe it is their intent to steal this God-given Right by
eliminating small supplement companies and dietary supplement
healthcare and prevention, which will put us on the fast track
to making alternative healthcare choices as cost prohibitive as
establishment healthcare is now. The only real option they want
us to have is to buy their high priced patented drugs or higher
priced supplements which they will then control.
