“The centerpiece of the US Organized Crime Control Act from 1970 is the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Racketeering is the act of engaging in a certain type of offence more than once. The list of offences that constitute racketeering include extortion, fraud, federal drug offences, bribery, embezzlement, obstruction of justice, obstruction of law enforcement, tampering with witnesses, and political corruption. Big pharma does so much of this all the time that there can be no doubt that its business model fulfills the criteria for organized crime…There are many decent and honest people in the drug industry, but those who make it to the top have been described as ‘ruthless bastards’ by criminologist John Braithwaite who interviewed many of them. In the United States, big pharma beat all other industries in terms of crimes…Big pharma also has a worse record than other companies for international bribery and corruption and for criminal negligence in the unsafe manufacture of drugs…Almost every type of person who can affect the interests of the industry has been bribed: doctors, hospital administrators, cabinet ministers, health inspectors, customs officers, tax assessors, drug registration officials, factory inspectors, pricing officials and political parties.” – Professor Peter C Gotzche, Master of Science in biology and chemistry, physician, co-founder of the Cochrane Collaboration, published in BMJ, Lancet, JAMA, NEJM and others
Gotzche is spot on. Again I point you to my Medical Monopoly writings for example after example, including found guilty of conspiring and racketeering, that this is absolutely true. I just updated that PDF to include all 34 released articles whereas the original only had 26. https://healthsovereign.com/mmm
Yet, in his long list, Gotzche still misses a few of those that can be bribed. Scientists, heads of charities, foundations and government agencies. To there we turn our attention.
Earlier, I shared about a former director of the CDC, Julie Gerberding. You can read that here. https://loganchristopher.com/where-theres-money-to-be-made/
I wanted to dive into the current head of the CDC, Dr. Robert Redfield, but felt like it was worth giving a little timeline of this position and some of the others that filled it. (I apologize for covering so much history BUT those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.)
Julie Gerberding was director from 2002 to 2009, when she went through the revolving door to Merck whom she previously “regulated”. I literally just skimmed the surface of her corruption in my previous post. https://loganchristopher.com/where-theres-money-to-be-made/
I neglected to mention how she silenced a CDC whistleblower who said they falsified data. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Dr_BrianHooker_statement_regarding_Vaccine_Whistleblower_William_Thompson.pdf
In addition to that is a still ongoing court case with Merck and its own scientists turned whistleblower saying they falsified data on another vaccine. https://ahrp.org/former-merck-scientists-sue-merck-alleging-mmr-vaccine-efficacy-fraud/
Gerberding was followed by Dr. Tom Friedan who acted as director from 2009 to 2017. Previous to being CDC director, Friedan was New York City’s health commissioner under then mayor Michael Bloomberg (and recent presidential hopeful).
His appointment was not without controversy. “Throughout his tenure as New York City Health Commissioner, Frieden has simultaneously employed an authoritarian my-way-or-the-highway approach and an unabashed secretiveness undignified of a public servant. He has excluded AIDS groups wherever possible from having input into life and death AIDS funding, testing, and care policymaking decisions,” wrote Housing Works, a major New York City AIDS services provider, President Charles King. http://www.windycitymediagroup.com/lgbt/Controversial-Tom-Frieden-Named-to-Lead-CDC/21192.html
During his tenure there were a few mishaps with Anthrax, smallpox and other pathogens which were covered up. “U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich.,…expressed dismay about the kind of “chronic negligence” that’s been revealed in recent years “involving the world’s most terrifying pathogens.” … “We’re not talking one or two incidents, but 139 discoveries of select agents in unregistered locations.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/06/23/undisclosed-cdc-lab-incidents/86305700/
After Friedan’s tenure, in 2018, he was arrested and charged with forcible touching, sex abuse and harassment. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/24/former-head-of-cdc-tom-frieden-arrested-and-charged-with-forcible-touching-sex-abuse-and-harassment.html
He was able to plead this down to disorderly conduct, having all the criminal charges drop, and avoided jail time. https://abcnews.go.com/US/cdc-director-pleads-guilty-groping-family-friend-jail/story?id=63478002
Nowadays, he is CEO of Resolve to Save Lives which “is an initiative of the global public health organization Vital Strategies. We received $225 million from Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Gates Philanthropy Partners, which is funded with support from the Chan Zuckerberg Foundation.” https://resolvetosavelives.org/about
Note that some of those names will be coming up over and over and over again.
Friedan has also recently been hired by the Council on Foreign Relations. “The Council on Foreign Relations welcomes physician and thought leader Dr. Tom Frieden to its David Rockefeller Studies Program as a senior fellow for global health.” https://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/entry/ex-cdc-director-hired-after-sexual-abuse-charge-tom-frieden_n_5e628b67c5b68d616453f303
Again, some names you might see over and over again. Remember David Rockefeller whom I quoted as saying “working against the best interests of the United States” and “conspiring with others around the world”? He was Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations from 1970-1985 (and CEO of Chase Manhattan Bank from 1969 to 1981). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Rockefeller
Be careful…watching the revolving door spin round and round can be dizzying!
After Frieden, came Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald, in what was probably the shortest run ever as director of the CDC from January 2017 to January 2018.
Fitzgerald resigned after she purchased shares in tobacco companies while serving as director, a clear conflict of interest.
“Fitzgerald’s lingering problem with an ethics recusal — she wouldn’t do work on cancer detection or some aspects of the opioid crisis — posed enough of a problem for the CDC. But the report that she had bought tobacco stock after she started at the CDC appeared to be the last straw.” https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/31/cdc-director-resigns-fitzgerald-azar-380680
That reminds me of former head of the National Institutes of Health and National Cancer Institute, Harold Varmus, who said “You can’t do experiments to see what causes cancer – it’s not an accessible problem, and not the sort of thing scientists can afford to do.” He also allowed massive conflicts of interests throughout his agencies, like Gerberding did. (More details about him in Medical Monopoly Musings.) https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20101203005070/en/Cancer-Prevention-Coalition-Varmus-Unqualified-Lead-War
Regarding Fitzgerald, I saw this, which made me think that there was likely some undisclosed stuff going on behind the scenes that may have led to this. “It takes a certain kind of cluelessness for a director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to purchase stock in a tobacco company a month after assuming the job as the nation’s top public health official,” said Dr. Peter Lurie, president of the advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/cdc-director-s-resignation-caps-bad-year-health-agency-n843646
Do you think the people running things are clueless? Incompetent?
Or do you think people that head up government agencies are actually pretty smart…and the truth of such situations is not always what they appear to be?
Speaking of conflicts of interest, in looking at this I found something else interesting from the Politico article. “The public health world has a particularly strong ethic against the use of tobacco. The CDC Foundation, an independent nonprofit created by Congress to support the CDC’s public health work, has a policy against accepting any dollars from the industry.”
So I strolled over to their website and down to their donor list for 2019. Following the money is a useful skill. It’s a large list but here’s a few that stand out to me: https://www.cdcfoundation.org/FY2019/organizations
Bayer. Merck. GlaxoSmithKline. Some of the biggest drug and vaccine manufacturers. They’re indirectly funding the CDC that are regulating them. Tobacco is a conflict of interest, but vaccines aren’t? I like to use this little thing called logic to think through stuff.
And, of course, also funding the CDC Foundation we see some of those same names that just keep popping up: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, GAVI Alliance, WHO, Vital Strategies, John Hopkins.
And then ties to Big Tech as well. There’s Facebook here too and the co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin’s Family Foundation. Both Facebook and Google censor vaccine “misinformation”.
I also spot Imperial College London, which were responsible for modeling the coronavirus which predicted massive deaths and was used as justification for the shutdown. https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2020/03/influential-coronavirus-pandemic-report-read-a-summary-of-the-staggering-projections-that-moved-us-government-to-act.html
Interesting. Those are just some of the names I recognize!
Who was behind Event 201, that looked like the trial run for real life events? John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum.
Who was behind Lockstep in Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development which I quoted earlier saying, “Even after the pandemic faded, this more authoritarian control and oversight of citizens and their activities stuck and even intensified”? The Rockefeller Foundation.
Harold Varmus that I mentioned earlier? He sits on Global Health Advisory Board at the Gates Foundation. He worked at the WHO and advised Merck and other pharmaceutical companies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_E._Varmus
All this won’t look so bad if you believe their propaganda. Of course, these people are funding each other and working for each other in order to solve global health challenges. No conspiracies to see here, folks! You’re smarter than that.
But when you realize that medicine at the highest levels acts as organized crime, a criminal cartel, you see just how much influence they hold and why there is a stranglehold on the worldview.
Once again, that doesn’t mean that all the people in these groups are bad. Far from it. Through compartmentalization, just a few people within an organization can be corrupt, which can then act to block the good guys and further nefarious agendas. After all, organized crime, by necessity, operates in the shadows.
Peter Rost, a former Pfizer marketing vice president, explains it like this:
“It is scary how many similarities there are between this industry and the mob. The mob makes obscene amounts of money, as does this industry. The side effects of organized crime are killings and deaths, and the side effects are the same in this industry. The mob bribes politicians and others, and so does the drug industry…. The difference is, all these people in the drug industry look upon themselves—well, I’d say 99 percent, anyway—look upon themselves as law-abiding citizens, not as citizens who would ever rob a bank…. However, when they get together as a group and manage these corporations, something seems to happen… to otherwise good citizens when they are part of a corporation. It’s almost like when you have war atrocities; people do things they don’t think they’re capable of.”

Welcome to the world of drug profiteers that choose what is good for your health.
These are the people that are promising a new vaccine soon, have already gotten billions from the government to do so, and telling you that the world cannot return to normal until that happens.
