SAMA and TAC characters allege that I am acting against the poli-cies of the WHO and other UN organisations while – in fact – I amhelping to implement them. Even worse, this Application accusesme of such serious crimes as endangering the health of people andeven killing them while – in fact – I am helping to improve thequality of lives and in many cases saving them.

Even more significant, these allegations are being made by organ-isations that – themselves – are compromising the health and risk-ing the lives of millions of people by promoting the mass applica-tion of highly toxic ARV drugs while at the same time publiclyattacking textbook knowledge of biology about the preventive andtherapeutic value of micronutrients in the control of AIDS.

The “TAC” and the “South African Medical Association” are accus-ing us – a non-profit organisation – of deceiving and harming mil-lions of people out of profit motives, while at the same time theythemselves promote toxic drugs from pharmaceutical investmentcompanies, the entire future of which are based on maximising thereturn on their financial investments.

The only logical explanation for these remarkable allegations isthat both, the SAMA functionaries and the TAC street pushers, aretrying to distract from the business practices and motives of thedrug companies, whose merchandise they promote. This soberinganalysis is, of course, a profound accusation and it should not bemade without substantiation.

Above all, with millions of lives at stake, it is not enough torespond to malicious allegations with counter allegations or tomeet attacks with counter attacks. The seriousness of the issues atstake here require a deeper analysis of the background of this case.The allegations made by SAMA and the “TAC” can only be prop-erly understood and judged with an understanding of the historyof interests behind this case and, in particular, as they relate to

South Africa. This “bigger picture” of the current Application isbeing dealt with in this section of my response.

As explained above, the pharmaceutical industry is not primarilyan industry driven by health concerns but rather by investmentinterests. The pharmaceutical business is not a naturally grownindustry, but rather an artificially designed and constructed globalinvestment business. A century ago, the Rockefeller group(Standard Oil) in the US invested billions of oil revenues to system-atically promote the global market of synthetic patented drugs.

The launch of this investment business had dark roots. John D.Rockefeller had become a billionaire by unscrupulously shapingthe Standard Oil Cartel (in short S.O. or EXXON today), the largest

oil company in the world. On May 15, 1911, the Supreme Courtof the U.S. found John Rockefeller and his Standard Oil Trust guiltyof corruption, illegal business contact and racketeering. As a resultof this decision, Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Trust, the world’s largestcorporation, was sentenced to be dismantled.*

In order to disperse public and political pressure on him and other“robber barons,” Rockefeller channelled the illegal gains from hisoil business to launch the Rockefeller Foundation. This tax havenwas used to strategically take over the health care sector in theU.S. and beyond.

The Rockefeller Foundation was the front organisation for a newglobal business venture for Rockefeller and his accomplices. Thisnew venture was called the pharmaceutical investment business.Donations from the Rockefeller Foundation went only to medicalschools and hospitals, which had become missionaries of patent-ed pharmaceutical drugs, developed by a new breed of companiesthat manufactured patented, synthetic drugs. These birth hours ofthe pharmaceutical investment business are all matters of histori-cal record and – among others – are documented in the book“Rockefeller Medicine Men” by Richard Brown.*

This was also the time, when the first vitamins were discovered. Itsoon became clear, that these natural molecules had life-savinghealth benefits and were able to prevent many chronic healthproblems. Thousands of scientific articles and books were pub-lished documenting scientific research on the health benefits ofvitamins and other micronutrients and several Nobel Prizes wereawarded in this new field of biology and medicine.

These newly discovered natural molecules had only one disadvan-tage: they were non-patentable. Thus, already in its first decades ofexistence, the pharmaceutical investment business faced a mortalthreat: vitamins and other micronutrients promoted as publichealth programmes would have prohibited the development ofany sizable investment business based on patented syntheticdrugs. The elimination of this unwanted competition from

138

CHAPTER 7


micronutrients and other natural therapies became a question ofsurvival for the young pharmaceutical investment business.

To promote public acceptance of his “new medicine” as the phil-anthropic umbrella of the newly created pharmaceutical invest-ment industry with patented drugs – the Rockefeller controlledmedia used the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, to start a campaignagainst all forms of non-patented medicine and discredit them as“unscientific.” Within the next 15 years essentially all medical

schools in the U.S., all influential hospitals and, most significant-ly, the American Medical Association became part of this strategyto align the entire health care sector under the control of the phar-maceutical investment business.

Disguised as a charitable global health mission, the “RockefellerFoundation” was also used as a front to conquer foreign countriesand entire continents for the subsequent pharmaceutical invest-ment business. This global expansion strategy happened in muchthe same way as Rockefeller’s global strategy with his petrochem-ical investment business a few decades earlier.*

On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, in Germany, the firstchemical / pharmaceutical cartel was founded in 1925 with thegoal to compete with the quest for control of the global drug mar-ket by the Rockefeller Trust. Lead by German multinationals“Bayer”, “BASF” and “Hoechst”, the “IG Farben” cartel was found-ed with a total number of employees already surpassing 80,000.The name “IG Farben” stood for “Interessen-Gemeinschaft“(German for “interest union“ (i.e. cartel) and “Farben“ (German for“dyestuffs”). This name reflecting the global economic importanceof the company’s patented synthetic dye business which becamethe financial basis for the development of the pharmaceutical mar-ket with patented drugs.*

On November 29, 1929, representatives of Rockefeller’s StandardOil cartel (U.S.A.) and of the “IG Farben” cartel (Germany) decid-ed to divide the entire world into interest spheres with respect tothe oil (petrochemical) and chemical/pharmaceutical businesses.The essence of this unique arrangement of territorial claims for theemerging oil and drug/chemical markets was: Standard Oil’s “ter-ritory” was the US and the petrochemical business in the rest ofthe world and “IG Farben’s“ territory was Central Europe and thechemical/pharmaceutical business for the entire rest of the globe.

140

CHAPTER 7


But this agreement about the global claims of the oil and drug car-tels did not last long. 18 years later the Nuremberg War CrimesTribunal established that the “IG Farben” executives were not sat-isfied with their part. Their plans for the global conquest of thechemical and pharmaceutical business developed with precision.

The following facts have been established during the NurembergWar Crime Tribunal from 1946 – 1948 and are part of public record:

• By 1930 – one year after the “global claims conference” withRockefeller’s Standard Oil, “IG Farben” had developed adetailed plan for its own “New economic order for Europeand the world” that foresaw “IG Farben’s” control of all theworld’s markets in oil, drugs, chemicals and other markets.This, obviously, was only achievable through a global mili-tary conquest, a war that should become known as WorldWar II.

• In order to reach their global goals the “IG Farben” cartel,decided to support Hitler as their political arm. By early 1933Bayer, BASF and other German chemical / pharmaceuticalcorporations had become the single largest corporate donorsfor the Nazi party and financed their rise to power. The estab-lishment of a ruthless dictatorship in Germany was the pre-condition to launch a conquest war of global dimensions.

• To destabilise and ultimately topple the preceding democrat-ically elected German government, “IG Farben” financed the“brown shirts,” an organisation of “storm troopers” that –under the pretext of creating “order” – organised riots andspread terror in the streets and communities across the coun-try which will be discussed in detail later. With the supportof mass media – also controlled by “IG Farben” interests –they successfully blamed the turmoil and fear they them-selves had escalated within society, as a sign of failure ofGerman “democracy.”

• “IG Farben” executives were the economic “architects” ofWorld War II and its CEO Carl Krauch had already relocatedto Berlin by 1936, three years before the war, to head the

142

CHAPTER 7


economic planning office for World War II as “plenipoten-tiary” in close collaboration with Hitler’s deputy, HermannGoering. Consequently, after Hitler’s army had invaded halfof Europe, in each and every country the chemical, petro-chemical and pharmaceutical industries were taken over bythe “IG Farben” Cartel.

• In all the countries occupied, hundreds of thousands of inno-cent people were captured and forced to work as slavelabourers for “IG Farben” or to serve as “human guinea pigs”in medical experiments to test the patented drugs of “Bayer,”“Hoechst” and other “IG Farben” companies.

• “IG Farben” was the architect and 100% owner of “IGAuschwitz” – at 24 km² the largest industrial plant in wartimeEurope. Financed by “IG Farben” and its house bank,“Deutsche Bank”, the nearby concentration camp (KZ) wasexpanded to be the largest slave labour camp of WWII andturned into the largest extermination camp in history wherean estimated 6 million people from dozens of nations weregassed, shot, slain or died of starvation.

• According to the records of the Nuremberg War CrimeTribunal, “IG Farben” workers who were too weak to work,or were sick longer than two weeks were sent to the gaschambers of the KZ Auschwitz. Such was the respect tohuman life paid by the largest chemical/pharmaceutical con-cern in the world portraying itself in coloured prospectusesas the saviour of mankind from diseases.

TTHHEE RROOOOTTSS OOFF AAPPAARRTTHHEEIIDD BBRRUUTTAALLIITTYY

Many people around the world have asked themselves where theextreme brutality of the South African Apartheid regime had itsroots. The suppression and humiliation of the African people hada century long tradition. The Apartheid regime, however, that start-ed soon after the Nazis had lost WW II, brought an entirely newdimension of violence and cruelty to the country.

This physical brutality of human beings against one another was ahallmark of the sophisticated training programme of the Nazi /IG Farben coalition in war-time Germany for their elite. The partic-ipants were put through a rigorous training that had the target ofdestroying every trait of human emotion. The human soul was sys-tematically replaced by instincts; and these instincts were trained

to be unleashed on command bythose who tried to create the global IGFarben / Nazi Empire by brutal force.

The embodiment of Nazi / IG Farben’sdisrespect for human life was the con-centration camp Auschwitz, men-tioned before. The term ”concentra-tion” camp was already flattering:Auschwitz was in fact an extermina-tion camp where people either wereworked to death on the constructionside of the IG Farben plant, were shot,hanged or beaten to death in thecamp or were sent directly to the gaschambers upon arrival in cattle wag-ons. In only 4 years, between 1.5 and

2.5 million people from all over Europe were killed in Auschwitz.

The dimension of the genocide organised by the coalition of theIG Farben oil and drug cartel and the Nazis in Auschwitz is docu-mented in the following statement by its Commander made duringthe War Crimes Tribunal in 1946.

”Another improvement we made [in the Auschwitz concentrationcamp] was that we built our gas chambers to accommodate 2,000people at one time. ...

The way we selected our victims was as follows: we had two SSdoctors on duty at Auschwitz to examine the incoming transportsof prisoners. The prisoners would be marched by one of the doc-tors who would make spot decisions as they walked by.

Those who were fit for work were sent into the Camp. Others weresent immediately to the extermination plants. Children of tenderyears were invariably exterminated, since by reason of their youththey were unable to work.

Still another improvement we made [in the Auschwitz concentra-tion camp] was that in other concentration camps the victimsalmost always knew that they were to be exterminated and atAuschwitz we endeavoured to fool the victims into thinking thatthey were to go through a delousing process.

Of course, frequently they realised our true intentions and wesometimes had riots and difficulties due to that fact. Very frequent-ly women would hide their children under the clothes but ofcourse when we found them we would send the children in to beexterminated.

We were required to carry out these exterminations in secrecy butof course the foul and nauseating stench from the continuousburning of bodies permeated the entire area and all of the peopleliving in the surrounding communities knew that exterminationswere going on at Auschwitz.”

• In order to cement its leadership in the global pharmaceuti-cal market, with patented drugs, “IG Farben” tested theirpatented pharmaceutical substances on innocent inmates of“Auschwitz”, “Buchenwald,” “Dachau,” and other concen-tration camps. This aspect will be elaborated in more detailbelow in response to the remarkable allegations made byLeslie London in his affidavit in support of the SAMA andTAC allegations.

All these facts were established during the Nuremberg War CrimeTribunal’s trial against 24 executives of “Bayer” and other “IGFarben” companies – the so-called “Farben Case” – who wereaccused of crimes against humanity. Many executives of thischemical/pharmaceutical concern were sentenced in Nurembergfor such grave crimes as “slavery” and “mass murder”.

After months of hearings, US Chief Prosecutor Telford Taylor sum-marised the ultimate responsibility for the horror of WWII by stat-ing in his final pleading that without IG Farben the Second WorldWar would not have been possible. He concluded that the mainfacilitators and benefactors of WWII – with a death toll of over 60million people the single largest crime ever committed – was achemical/pharmaceutical concern.

The sources for these sobering facts are the public records of theNuremberg War Crime Tribunals. These records were laterreviewed in historical books by US Chief Prosecutor Telford Taylorand others. A comprehensive review was also published by JosephBorkin in “The Crime and Punishment of IG Farben.” Borkin wasChief of the Patent and Cartel Section of the Antitrust Division ofthe US Department of Justice in Washington DC. Between 1938and 1946 he was responsible for the wartime investigation andprosecution of the cartels dominated by “IG Farben.”*

While the top executives of “IG Farben” were tried in theNuremberg War Crime Tribunal thousands of “IG Farben” man-agers who participated in these war crimes escaped. They fledEurope using the existing corporate network of “IG Farben” sub-sidiaries particularly in South America and Africa. The NurembergWar Crime records document that even before the Second WorldWar “IG Farben” had established subsidiary companies in threecommercial centres in Africa, two of them in South Africa,Johannesburg and Cape Town.*

Initially, the plan of the US and the allied forces was to dismantlethe “IG Farben” cartel as well as its house bank, “Deutsche Bank”.But with the “cold war” beginning, the interests of the US and theUK shifted and they decided to reinforce Germany as a frontierstate in this ideological, political and economic war against theSoviet Union and Eastern Europe. The shares and the control of“Bayer”, “BASF” and “Hoechst” largely went to US and UK invest-ment groups, the former competitors of the “IG Farben” trust,namely “Rockefeller” and “Rothschild” trusts.

As part of this new “cold war” strategy the old “IG Farben” exec-utives were soon released from prison and reinstated in their oldfunctions. By 1956, only 8 years after he had been sentenced tojail in Nuremberg for mass murder and slavery, Fritz Ter Meer – the“IG Farben” Executive responsible for Auschwitz – was appointedChairman of the Supervisory Board of “Bayer,” one of the newlydefined “successor” companies of “IG Farben.” All three chemi-cal/pharmaceutical giants “Hoechst”, “BASF” and “Bayer” wererun until the late 1970s by executives who had been members ofthe Nazi Party or had had close ties to them.

In 1949 the Federal Republic of Germany was founded. This wasthe first time in history that the constitution and society of anindustrialised nation was planned and modelled as a bastion ofglobal economic interests, namely the pharmaceutical investment

business. Steered by the controlling investment bodies primarily inthe US – Nelson Rockefeller had been appointed “SpecialAssistant to the US President for Foreign Affairs” – the FederalRepublic of Germany became the world’s leading pharmaceuticalexport nation for a quarter of a century. All parts of German soci-ety – from the chancellery to the media were aligned to protectand promote the pharmaceutical investment business to becomethe largest and most profitable investment business on our planet.

Even the German churches have become part of this global strate-gy of drug promotion and export. Until this day Germany is theonly country in the world where the State “collects” the churchmembership fees from millions of people in the form of “taxes.”Thus, with budgets of billions of dollars/Euros the GermanProtestant and Catholic churches are the richest churches in theworld and principle financiers of the Vatican and its Protestantcounterpart, the “World Council of Churches” (“WCC”).

Under this influence, the “WCC” established global drug promo-tion programmes called the “Ecumenical PharmaceuticalNetwork” (EPN) and the “Ecumenical HIV/AIDS Initiative”(EHAIA), both with the goal to export pharmaceutical drugs espe-cially to developing countries as part of an “ecumenical” charitymission of caring for the poor. Significantly, most “executives” ofthese drug promotion programmes are citizens of Germany andother drug exporting nations.*

......uunnttiill ttooddaayy

German Chancellor Kohl – who rose to the Chancellery from theranks of a simple employee of “IG Farben” successor BASF –became the political “coordinator” of pharmaceutical interests onthe global level for nearly two decades. The role of the Germangovernment in connection with the Apartheid regime in SouthAfrica will be described below in more detail.

153



Even though today the US and the UK have surpassed Germany asleading drug exporters, the German Government is still a majorpolitical executor of the globally operating pharmaceutical inter-ests. Under the current German Chancellor Merkel – publicly des-ignated by Kohl as “my girl,” i.e. his political heiress – the Germangovernment continues to spearhead global efforts to eliminatevitamins and other natural, non-patentable therapies as threats tothe pharmaceutical investment business with patented drugs.

As a particular significant example of its global role as the politi-cal arm of the pharmaceutical business, the German governmentfor more than four decades has had the auspices of the so-called“Codex Alimentarius” Commission. With the pharmaceuticalpatented drug business as benefactor, this UN-sponsored commis-sion is trying to – among other things – outlaw preventive or ther-apeutic statements about the health benefits of vitamins and othernatural, non-patentable health approaches on a worldwide scale.Under the pretext of “consumer protection” they are used to pre-pare “global legislation” that serves only one purpose – to protectthe global pharmaceutical investment business based on patenteddrugs particularly from competition in the form of effective andsafe micronutrients.

The parallels of this remarkable global plan to the currentApplication are obvious.

CHAPTER 7

After six decades of silence, the historic

records of the key war crimes tribunal that

determined the responsibility for WWII is

finally being made available to a world

audience. Currently, history books teach

that WWII was launched by a lunatic dicta-

tor, Hitler, and his ruthless Nazi henchmen.

However, tens of thousands of historical docu-ments from the Nuremberg Tribunal – newlyreleased online – unequivocally document that:

• WWII – a war that cost the lives of morethan 60 million people – was planned andfinanced by the world’s largest chemical/pharmaceutical cartel at that time,Germany’s IG Farben (Bayer, BASF,Hoechst and others)

• The driving force behind WWII was IGFarben’s ambition to achieve control of theglobal oil and drug markets and eliminate,by force, any competition.

• Bayer, BASF and the other IG Farben com-panies financed the rise to power of theNazi party and the transformation ofGerman democracy into a dictatorship.

• The Nazi/IG Farben coalition’s plan forworld domination had three stages: first, theconquest of the Eurasian continent; second,the take-over of Great Britain and all of itscolonies; third, the military defeat of theUSA and the rest of the world.

As everybody knows, the Nazi/IG Farben

coalition’s plan for world domination was

destroyed by the efforts of the great majori-

ty of nations of the world and the extraordi-

nary sacrifices they made.

While this victory was important for allmankind, the newly emerging post-war orderwas already influenced by the oil and druginterests from the victorious countries:

”The crimes with which these men are chargedwere not committed in rage or under the stress ofsudden temptation. One does not build a stupen-dous war machine in a fit of passion nor anAuschwitz factory during a passing spasm of bru-tality. Their purpose was to turn the German nationinto a military machine so it could impose her domi-nion on Europe and other nations beyond the seas.They were the beginning and end of the dark mantleof death that settled over Europe.”

The fact that this information was buried ininternational archives and is not part of anyhistory book is no coincidence.

The interest groups that kept this criticalknowledge hidden for six decades will nowhave to answer many questions. Whatevertheir reaction to the online opening of thesearchives will be – the truth is now out andthese facts will be common knowledge tothis and all future generations.

This online archive has been made possibleby the Dr Rath Health Foundation, a non-profit organisation.

1. The shares of the IG Farben cartel went totheir economic competitors in the victori-ous countries.

2. The corporate executives of the IG Farbencartel – after a mere ”reprimand” atNuremberg – were soon reinstated by thenew owners of the IG Farben shares in theUSA and the UK to help them consolidatethe oil and drug cartel at a global level.

However, these important facts have essential-ly been concealed from the people of theworld, who were made to believe that with thefirst Nuremberg trial – against the military andpolitical stakeholders – the ”main war crimi-nals” had been brought to justice.

This was, of course, not the case. Beside thisfirst trial there were 12 further trials that madeup the Nuremberg Tribunal. The most impor-tant among them was the case against the oiland drug cartel, IG Farben.

The executives of this cartel, according to

the chief US prosecutor, Telford Taylor,

were the main war criminals – without

whom WWII would not have been possible.

It is inconceivable and intolerable that

mankind should continue to be left in the

dark about the ultimate responsibility for

WWII – the greatest crime thus far com-

mitted on this planet.

The online academy ”Profit Over Life” is

an educational resource for the benefit of

the people of the world. Students, teachers,

academic researchers, politicians and mil-

lions of people worldwide are invited to use

this archive as the basis for better under-

standing history.

This is particularly important because

multi-national corporate interests continue

to this day to use military force to reach

their global goals.
