Children herded like cattle into Maryland courthouse for forced vaccinations as armed police and attack dogs stand guard Tuesday, December 8, 2015 12:36

(NaturalNews) Following the State of Maryland’s threats against parents who refuse to have their children

vaccinated, children were herded into a Price George County courthouse being guarded by armed personnel with

attack dogs. Inside, the children were forcibly vaccinated, many against their will, under orders from the State

Attorney General, various State Judges and the local School Board Director, all of whom illegally conspired to

threaten parents with imprisonment if they did not submit their children to vaccinations.

The State of Maryland has now turned to Gestapo tactics to force its medical will upon the People, stripping

parents of any right to decide how they wish to protect their own children from infectious disease. Health

authorities there have already announced their intent to essentially kidnap parents and throw them in jail,

removing them from their children for up to thirty days if they continue to refuse to have their children

vaccinated. This will all be conducted at gunpoint, with armed personnel and attack dogs at the ready, making

sure nobody steps out of line, and suppressing any attempt at public dissent against the Orwellian vaccination

policies.

The entire campaign against these parents is blatantly illegal. There is no law in Maryland requiring the

vaccination of children, thus parents who refuse to do so may not be legally charged with violating any law.

Instead, Maryland health and school authorities are using Gestapo-like tactics, threatening to charge the parents

with child truancy violations, criminalizing them for daring to protect their children from the dangerous

chemicals found in vaccines (including thimerosal, a chemical additive containing a neurotoxic form of mercury).

The desperation of organized medicine is becoming increasingly apparent As more and more parents are becoming informed about the dangers of vaccinations and their link to autism,

state health authorities are increasingly turning to “Gunpoint Medicine” to force the People to submit to the

poisons of conventional medicine. Parents who attempt to save their children from deadly chemotherapy

chemicals are being arrested and having their children kidnapped by Child Protective Services

(see http://www.NaturalNews.com/Abraham_Cherrix.ht… ), and oncologists who used to be armed only with

radiation machines and chemotherapy injectors and now arming themselves with U.S. Marshals and other local

law enforcement authorities who are using loaded firearms to enforce “the will of the State” against parents who

resist.

Even the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) announced its strong opposition to

the Maryland “Gunpoint Medicine” vaccination campaign. In a press release published Nov. 16, the AAPS states:

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons today condemned the “vaccine roundup” executed in Prince

George’s county Maryland this week, and promised to do everything it can to support parents who refuse to

immunize their children.

“This power play obliterates informed consent and parental rights,” said Kathryn Serkes, director of policy for

the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), one of the few national physician groups that

refuse corporate funding from pharmaceutical companies.

In a scenario reminiscent of cattle round-ups, the state’s attorney has issued summons to more than 1600

parents of children who have not provided certificates of immunization for their children. But instead of toting

a cattle prod, this state’s attorney chooses to wield a syringe to keep the “herd” in line.

Gunpoint Medicine: Why drug pushers must now rely on Gestapo tactics

Conventional (pharmaceutical) medicine is the only system of medicine in the world that is so unpopular with

informed consumers that it must be administered at the barrel of a gun. There is no other system of medicine

anywhere in the world that resorts to such tactics to recruit patients.

At the Nov. 17th event in Maryland, activists Jim Moody and Kelly Ann Davis from SafeMinds (www.SafeMinds.org)

were able to get in front of TV news cameras and voice their opposition to the coerced vaccination policy. Yet,

amazingly, most parents just lined up like cattle ready to be branded, not bothering to question the sanity or

legality of the very system in which they were now agreeing to participate.

A health freedom blog called Center for the Common Interest (www.CommonInterest.info) also covered the

event, and it reports that a local activist named Donovan Hubbard videotaped the event and plans to make the

video available online. (NaturalNews would like to contact Donovan and / or publicize his video. If you know of a

way we can contact him, please call us at (520) 232-9300 to let us know…)

What’s next for Gunpoint Medicine? As the truth continues to emerge about the extreme dangers of vaccinations and pharmaceuticals, Big Pharma is

becoming increasingly desperate to coerce the public into relying on its products. It is now working closely with

state authorities (including Governors of several states) to mandate the use ofvaccinations on young children.

This results in the criminalization of parents who refuse to subject their children to these dangerous chemicals.

In effect, Big Pharma is hoping to turn natural health followers into criminals.

The FDA has already criminalized nutritional supplement companies who dare to tell the truth about the health

benefits of their supplements. (Read the true history of armed FDA raids on vitamin companies

here: http://www.NaturalNews.com/021791.html )

Next, parents who refuse to subject their children to the chemical pharmaceuticals proposed by Big Pharma will

be criminalized, rounded up and incarcerated for “refusing to comply with public health policy.” This is all being

done by the State in the name of “protecting the children” from their own natural health parents. (Insane, isn’t

it, to think that protecting your child from toxic chemicals is now a criminal act in the United States?)

The end game of all this is to apply Gunpoint Medicine tactics to everyone: Adults and senior citizens included.

Anyone suffering from high cholesterol, for example, who does not submit to Big Pharma’s statin drugs could be

arrested, strapped to a table and medicated against their will. People with cancer could be arrested for choosing

to treat that cancer with safe and effective botanical medicines instead of patented, high-profit Big Pharma

drugs. If you think the prisons are full enough right now from all the arrests for marijuana possession and other

victimless crimes, just wait until the State starts arresting all the natural health moms and dads across the

country who refuse to participate in the utterly insane and extremely harmful system of medicine that now

dominates U.S. health care today.

The State is very clear about medicine: If you want to remain a free citizen, you must submit to the synthetic

drugs made by the very same corporations that now control government health regulators.Any person who

resists such “treatments” will be branded a threat to public health — a designation just beneath “terrorist” in the

eyes of many government bureaucrats. As such, they believe there is no limit to the level of force they may use

to coerce such people into submitting to Big Pharma’s chemicals. Today, it’s armed guards with attack dogs.

Tomorrow, it might be water boarding or other torture methods. Think that’s impossible? Think again: Just five

years ago, nobody in their right mind would have thought that parents who did not want to get their children

vaccinated would end up in prison, their children kidnapped by state authorities and forced to subject

themselves to dangerous chemical injections at gunpoint. Yet that is precisely what is happening right now in the

state of Maryland. It happened on Saturday, in fact.

Where is the outrage? What’s most interesting about this issue of using the threat of imprisonment to force vaccinations upon children

is not necessarily who is speaking out against it, but who has chosen to remain silent.

The American Medical Association, for example, has said nothing in opposition to the policy. Neither has the Food

and Drug Administration. Where is the outrage from the Maryland Hospital Association? None of these

organizations seem to have a problem with Gunpoint Medicine. The idea of rounding up parents and coercing

their children into receiving injections of toxic chemicals does not seem to bother these organizations. And why

should it? All of these organizations are closely tied to Big Pharma. They’re all in favor of vaccinations for all, it

seems, and I have no doubt that some individuals in these organizations (especially the AMA) are strongly in favor

of the Gunpoint Medicine coerced vaccination policy being played out in Maryland right now.

Organized medicine believes the People are too stupid to be allowed to make their own health decisions.

Bureaucrats and physicians should be the ones making these decisions, we’re told, and any person who disagrees

with such decisions should be labeled a criminal, arrested and prosecuted. This is no exaggeration. It is, in fact, a

shockingly accurate description of Maryland’s current vaccination policy.

It wasn’t too long ago that Americans would have stood up and rallied against this kind of medical tyranny. The

major news networks would have denounced Maryland’s vaccination policy with strong language and harsh

accusations. People would have been marching in the streets, demanding their health freedom. But today, it’s a

different America. The People are drugged up on pharmaceuticals and dosed on fluoride. They’re too intoxicated

to think straight, and they’re frightened into submission by a fear-based government that invokes domestic

tyranny at every opportunity to control and manipulate the People into doing whatever it wants.

The “free” America we all once knew is long gone, and it has been replaced with The United States of Corporate

America, where police tactics are now used to enforce hazardous public health policies, and the people who run

the State no longer think there’s anything wrong with rounding up the population at gunpoint and performing

large-scale medical experiments on their children. That’s what modern vaccines are, after all: A grand medical

experiment whose effects will only become known after a generation of mass poisoning has come and gone.

Doctors Oppose Maryland Vaccine Roundup Nov 16, 2007

November 16, 2007 For Immediate Release: Expect dangerous reactions when children are treated like cattle Washington, D.C. -- The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons today condemned the “vaccine roundup” executed in Prince George’s county Maryland this week, and promised to do everything it can to support parents who refuse to immunize their children. “This power play obliterates informed consent and parental rights,” said Kathryn Serkes, director of policy for the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), one of the few national physician groups that refuse corporate funding from

pharmaceutical companies. In a scenario reminiscent of cattle round-ups, the state’s attorney has issued summons to more than 1600 parents of children who have not provided certificates of immunization for their children. But instead of toting a cattle prod, this state’s attorney chooses to wield a syringe to keep the “herd” in line. Parents have been told to appear in Court on Saturday, and to subject their children to on-the-spot state-mandated vaccines of up 17 vaccine doses, or face imprisonment. Parents who ignore the court’s demands could face a $50 fine for every day their child is out of compliance or up to 10 days in jail. “This campaign of intimidation to brutally enforce blanket vaccine mandates by government agencies and the school district gives no consideration for the rights of the parents or the individual medical condition of the child,” said Serkes. Children should be carefully screened, medical records taken and decisions made carefully – not in an ad hoc assembly-line clinic in a county courtroom and under the brutal watch of law enforcement. This is a man-made disaster ready to waiting to detonate. Children could receive a dangerous cocktail of several vaccines without proper examinations. “The procedure is reckless and subjects children to the risk of severe reactions. Physicians would not be allowed to treat children in this way, without individual histories and physical exams – or informed consent,” said Jane M. Orient, M.D., AAPS Executive Director. Money and politics may be at the center of the round of threats. The school district will lose a substantial amount of state funding if students do not comply with the vaccine mandate. "Apparently the district wants that money, even if it gets it off the backs of children,” said Serkes. Mr. Ivey apparently has no problem invoking his own right to informed consent and parental control. In a radio interview on Thursday, he admitted that he has chosen to refuse the hepatitis B vaccines for his own children. “It’s interesting that parents have to ask the state’s permission by filing a form if they want to make the same decision for their children that he made for his own,” said Dr. Orient. But his galling hypocrisy clearly demonstrates that not every vaccine is right for every child. In their efforts to help the targeted parents, AAPS is contacting as many of them as possible to educate them about their rights under Maryland law and questions to ask before deciding whether vaccination is appropriate for their child (see below). “We’ll do our best to help the parents make an informed decision,” said Serkes. Representatives will also be on hand at the courthouse on Saturday, and AAPS is working to set up a

legal team to help parents who refuse the vaccinations. AAPS will also work with the National Vaccine Information Center to make sure parents are informed on how to report any adverse reactions to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Such reporting is actually required, but even medical professionals are lax about filing the reports. Don’t expect the police to do it. The State’s Attorney General, the manufacturers, and the people giving the shots are immune from liability if the shots hurt somebody, however. AAPS is also acting as coordinator for the “Hands Off Our Kids” coalition of parents across the country who were instrumental in overturning Texas Governor Perry’s executive order requiring the HPV vaccine for school girls last spring. The coalition is appealing to Gov. O’Malley to intervene in the case and work with the legislature to pass a philosophical exemption provision. (The letter to the governor is posted athttp://www.AAPSonline.org.) “All eyes are on PG County,” said Serkes. “It’s not just a local now, and parents across the country are ready to fight.”

Here's a brief overview of some of the campaigns of terror the FDA has initiated against natural healers,

nutritional supplement companies and other organizations. Many were conducted using armed agents wielding

assault rifles and automatic weapons, dressed in body armor. All of them were intended to destroy natural

medicine, thereby protecting the profits of drug companies and conventional medicine practitioners.

This is the true history of the FDA that the FDA doesn't wan't you to know!

(This timeline is excerpted from my bookNatural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From

Knowing About Them)

1987: The Life Extension Raids

The Life Extension Foundation (www.LEF.org) has long been targeted by the FDA. It is a non-profit

organization that publishes information about the healing power of nutritional supplements and genuine anti-

aging breakthroughs from the world of natural health.

On February 26, 1987, approximately 25 armed FDA agents and U.S. Marshals burst through the glass doors

of the Ft. Lauderdale offices of the Life Extension Foundation with guns drawn. A second group of FDA agents

simultaneously attacked the LEF warehouse, where they detained LEF founder William Faloon at gunpoint.

Employees were lined up against the wall and searched. Agents rifled through the personal belonging of the

employees and confiscated many items. Over the next 12 hours, they seized thousands of items, including

nutritional products, files, and documents, including 5,000 newsletters that were about to be mailed to

subscribers. Computers and telephones were reportedly, "…ripped from the wall," and agents seized anything

they could find regardless of whether such items were actually named in the search warrant. Later analysis

revealed that 80 percent of the seized items were never named in the warrant.

Not surprisingly, the entire legal basis for the raid was fraudulent to begin with. The search warrant, issued by

Magistrate Lurana S. Snow, was based on perjured testimony by FDAagent Martin Katz. But the intent to

terrorize the Life Extension Foundation worked: Employees suffered nightmares and many were afraid to come

to work.

Rather than giving in to the tyranny of the FDA, Bill Faloon and the Life Extension Foundation chose to fight for

their First Amendment rights. As explained by Saul Kent of the Life Extension Foundation at www.LEF.org:

Everyone we consulted, including attorneys who were FDA "experts", told us we had to submit to the FDA's

authority to have any chance of surviving. We ignored all this advice and instead decided to wage all-out war

against the FDA. We did this knowing that we would not only risk our livelihood, but our personal freedom as

well

.

We were told again and again that the FDA had the unlimited resources of the federal government at its

disposal, and that an organization with fewer than 5,000 members had no chance of winning an all-out war

with them.

To further terrorize the Life Extension Foundation and its founders, the FDA, with the help of various corrupt

law enforcement bodies, filed 56 criminal charges against Foundation officers Saul Kent and William Faloon.

After an 11-year reign of terror in which the FDA spent millions of taxpayer dollars attempting to prosecute

them, Kent and Faloon prevailed. In November, 1995, Federal Judge Daniel Hurley dismissed 55 of the 56

charges, and in February, 1996, the final charge was dismissed.

And thus ended the FDA's campaign of terror against the Life Extension Foundation. It was the first time in 88

years that the FDA had been forced to give up its prosecution efforts and throw in the towel.

As Saul Kent says, "The FDA's dismissal of the charges against me (and Bill Faloon) is an unprecedented

victory against FDA tyranny that goes far beyond winning in court. The FDA's historic defeat is a victory for

everyone who cherishes freedom in healthcare."

In 1994, the Life Extension Foundation established the FDA Holocaust Museum to document the decades-long

reign of terror the FDA has perpetrated against the American people.

1990 - The El Cajon pet food store raid

In 1990, FDA agents raided the pet food store of Sissy Harrington-McGill, a 57-year-old pet lover who was

guilty of the "crime" of claiming that vitamins would help keep pets healthy. Without a search warrant, FDA

agents ransacked her store, confiscating products and literature.

She was later tried and convicted of violating the Health Claims Law, a law that did not exist at the time of

the raid and was never passed by the U.S. Congress. Nonetheless, likely due to FDA pressure on the

presiding judge, she was sentenced to 179 days in prison and fined $10,000 for daring to say that vitamins are

good for puppy dogs!

1990 - The Highland Laboratories raid

In 1990, Ken Scott ran a vitamin business in Mt. Angel, Oregon, a small rural town. He was selling nutritional

supplements containing coenzyme Q10, a vital nutrient for cellular energy that has received tremendous praise

from the scientific community for boosting cardiovascular health, preventing congestive heart failure, improving

blood pressure and cholesterol profiles, as well as many other benefits. To help educate customers about the

healing power of CoQ10, he offered to send reprints of magazine and newspaper articles describing some of

the scientific findings about the nutrient.

This public education effort, of course, would not be tolerated by the FDA Gestapo. So the FDA organized an

armed raid comprised of nine FDA agents, 11 U.S. Marshals and eight Oregon state police. With guns drawn,

they kicked in the doors to Ken Scott's business and conducted one of the most terror-driven "vitamin" raids in

U.S. history.

For the next 11 hours, agents confiscated nearly everything they could find at Highland Laboratories. Ken Scott

and his employees were threatened with violence if they tried to set foot in the office, and his daughter, who

was located miles away, was illegally detained and held in "house arrest" for 12 hours.

The FDA, you see, would not tolerate Ken Scott mailing scientific literature or articles to his customers. So in

order to comply with the FDA, Scott later hired an outside mailing service owned by his daughter to run the

article mailing operations.

The FDA's response to that? They illegally raided the mailing service company and threatened to confiscate

the checkbook and cash of its owner. Out of fear (terrorism works, you see?), that owner subsequently closed

her business and refused to file charges against the FDA.

Ken Scott was ultimately forced to cut a deal with prosecutors, and eventually served five years on probation

for his "crime" of telling the truth about CoQ10.

The message from the FDA to other vitamin companies couldn't be more clear: Don't you dare tell your

customers the truth about vitamins, or we'll shut you down and prosecute you!

1990: The Century Clinic "chelation" raids

In Reno, Nev., 1990, the Century Clinic was raided by the FDA and Postal Service inspectors. Agents seized

large quantities of items from the clinic, virtually wiping it out of computers and equipment, as well as patient

records and files. No charges were filed.

After Century Clinic rebuilt and sued the FDA for the return of its property, the FDA raided it again and

conducted a search of the persons and homes of the owners and employees. Patients at the clinic were

reportedly interrogated and not allowed to leave without turning over their names and addresses. No charges

were ever filed against the clinic or its owners.

1991: The Tijuana cancer clinic kidnapping

Jimmy Keller cured his own cancer through the use of natural medicine therapies. Encouraged by success with

his own cancer, he pursued a career in natural medicine and later moved to Mexico and opened a clinic that

could legally treat U.S. patients with the disease (treating cancer naturally is illegal in the United States, so the

best practitioners are forced to open clinics in Mexico or other countries). The success of this clinic caught the

eye of health authorities in the United States, and they decided to put a stop to it.

In March 1991, armed Mexican police officers, with no warrants or charges whatsoever, kidnapped Keller from

the St. Jude Hospital and delivered him to U.S. Justice Department bounty hunters who, against his will, drove

him across the border to the USA. There, the FBI arrested him and charged him with wire fraud (Keller had

used the telephone to hold conversations with prospective patients). Keller was later convicted of wire fraud

and sent to a North Dakota prison for two years. His kidnapping and arrest are blatantly illegal under

international law.

1992 - Raid on Nature's Way

In 1992 in Utah; the FDA seized bulk primrose oil from Nature's Way, a manufacturer that offers some of the

highest-quality supplements in the business. Nature's Way filed a lawsuit to get their product returned, but was

forced to remove the natural Vitamin E from the formulation, as the FDA insisted that Vitamin E had not been

approved as an additive for primrose oil.

1992 - The Tahoma Clinic FDA Raid

On May 6, 1992, FDA agents joined armed King County police officers in an armed raid against the clinic of Dr.

Jonathan Wright, an M.D. and natural health practitioner. His crime? He was treating patients with injectable

high-dose B vitamins -- a safe, natural treatment -- and in doing so was actually helping patients heal.

The armed agents smashed down the door, rushed into the clinic like a SWAT team with guns drawn,

terrorizing the patients and shouting at them to put their hands in the air. Over the next fourteen hours, agents

rifled through Dr. Wright's clinic, seizing patient records, computers, vitamin supplies, and various natural

therapy products. The FDA illegally held on to confiscated items, including the computers needed to run his

clinic, for three years.

But was Dr. Wright really so dangerous as to justify an armed raid? He's a graduate of Harvard and the

University of Michigan Medical School. He's a book author, a prolific public speaker, and served as the

nutrition editor of Prevention magazine for more than ten years. The purpose of the FDA raid was clearly not to

arrest Dr. Wright, who was never charged. Rather, the purpose appears to be conducting a campaign of terror:

sending a message to the alternative medicine community that anyone engaged in nutritional treatments could

be raided and shut down, with no legal justification.

It was all part of the FDA's campaign against natural health treatments, a campaign that continues to this day.

1992: The Texas vitamin store raids

In 1992, the FDA prompted the Texas Department of Health (TDH) and the Texas Department of Food and

Drug to conduct raids on more than 12 health food stores. Agents seized flaxseed oil, aloe vera, zinc

supplements, vitamin C, and even Sleepytime Tea. One health food store owner was reportedly threatened by

TDH with, "Don't talk to the press, or we'll come down on you twice as hard!"

None of the confiscated products were ever returned to the store owners, no charges were filed, and no reason

for the raids was ever given. The raids were simply a campaign of terror designed to destroy the inventory and

disrupt business operations of stores selling natural health products.

1993: The health food store raids

In 1993, the war against health freedom reached its peak in Texas, where combined forces of the FDA, DEA,

IRS, U.S. Customs, and U.S. Postal Services conducted commando-style raids on nearly 40 different health

food stores, vitamin companies, and natural health clinics from May through September. The homes of

company owners and employees were also raided, and some raids were conducted with SWAT teams

brandishing assault weapons and flak jackets.

In one home, a mother who was breast feeding her infant was reportedly "roughed up and handcuffed for 11

hours while FDA agents ransacked her home." Items seized in the raids included vitamins, minerals, herbs,

and nutritional supplements. IRS officials also seized computers, automobiles, and bank accounts. The U.S.

Postal Service illegally blocked the mail of some of the targeted companies, denying them the ability to conduct

business or even organize a legal defense.

Targeted products included Dr. Kurt Donsbach's nutritional products and Dr. Hans Neiper's German-made

health products.

The 1963 Church of Scientology raid

In the early 1960s, the FDA got word of something it didn't like: The Church of Scientology was helping its

members overcome mental problems with the use of a simple biofeedback device called the E-meter. With the

market for psychotropic drugs so consistently profitable, and with Scientology gaining momentum in helping

millions of people overcome severe emotional and mental problems, this E-meter had to be taken out of play…

and fast!

To do so, the FDA filed a "libel of information" with a U.S. District Court, after which Judge William B. Jones

ordered a warrant authorizing the arrest of the E-meters. Yes, the meters themselves were to be arrested. The

warrant also authorized the arrest of "an undetermined number of items of written, printed or graphic matter."

With the warrant issued, armed U.S. Marshals and FDA agents launched a military-style raid on the church.

According to sworn affidavits of eyewitnesses, the agents "…burst into the church offices… and loudly

demanded and threatened all in sight; observed absolutely no courtesies except for not actually shooting the

guns they carried, and denied to the Church administrators any opportunity to arrange that students and

Church members not be disturbed, upset or terrorized.

"Showing no legal warrant, the agents and … deputies pounded their way up stairways, bursting into

confessional and pastoral counseling sessions, causing disruption and violently preventing the quiet pursuit of

the normal practice of religious philosophy.

"They seized all the publications and all the confessional aids called E-meters they could find in desks, in

ladies' handbags, in students' briefcases and in the session rooms.

"… the agents removed from the church to the waiting vans some tens of thousands of copies of over twenty

Church books, texts, recorded sermons; even the Church archives were sacked. The confiscated material was

handled roughly, and when ministers of the Church asked that their property be handled more carefully, the

'deputies' from Baltimore gave only sneering illiteracies for answer."

In all, three tons of materials were seized. In clear violation of both the First and Fourth Amendments, the FDA

had illegally used its powers to spread yet more fear and terror through the world -- this time, to raid a church.

All religions have healing tools

Of course, Scientology is not as mainstream as Christianity, Buddhism, or Catholicism, but since when did

religions have to be popular to enjoy equal protection under the U.S. Constitution? Besides, various churches

have always attributed special healing powers to their particular tools. Roman Catholic churches have Holy

Water and other healing elements (Easter wafers, Saint Glaize Candles, Scapulars, and so on). Other religions

use prayer clothes, prayer oils, and various pieces of string for which healing benefits are commonly

prescribed. Nearly all churches recognize prayer as an effective form of healing. Yet the FDA chose to single

out Scientology's E-meter machine, likely because it perceived the device as presenting a genuine threat to

psychiatry's monopoly over mental health treatment.

The FDA, you see, believes it not only regulates foods, drugs, and cosmetics, but also religions. Only

"mainstream" religious practices will be allowed, and any such religions that use alternative symbols, rituals, or

scriptures will be prosecuted, regardless of what the Constitution says. The rule of law never interferes with the

FDA's campaigns of terror.

The history of the U.S. government's persecution of the Church of Scientology is long and complex, and it is a

sad demonstration of true religious intolerance right here in the United States. The First Amendment, which

protects both Free Speech and Religion, offers no real protection against the criminals at the FDA, who have

for decades attempted to suppress alternative philosophies that actually help people heal.

After nine years of protracted legal battles, and the expenditure of countless millions in taxpayer dollars that

funded the prosecution efforts, the Church of Scientology achieved a victory in the courts, and the FDA was

forced to return the E-meters. Yet, just to inflict a little more pain and punishment upon the Church, the court

ordered the Church of Scientology to pay for all the warehousing costs of the confiscated items held over the

previous nine years, plus all the legal fees of the government's prosecution efforts. The courts also ruled that

all Scientology literature describing the E-meter must carry a warning message written by the FDA, and that

the church must pay the salaries and travel expenses of FDA agents who would, from time to time, visit the

church to ensure compliance with the courts. (Source: The Hidden Story of Scientology, Omar V. Garrison,

page 143.)

In other words, the Church of Scientology was to be severely punished for daring to oppose the tyranny of the

FDA. Just as a factory-working Jewish prisoner who talked back to his Nazi captors in 1942 would be beaten

and shot, the FDA made sure that the Church of Scientology would pay a dear price for daring to question the

authority of this all-powerful federal agency, an agency that could summon the aid of firearms-brandishing law

enforcement officials at any time, for apparently any reason, regardless of its legality.

Other FDA raids

1991, San Leandro, Calif.: A nutritional supplement company, NutriCology, is raided by 12 FDA agents.

All FDA injunctions were eventually thrown out of court.

1991, Texas: The anti-cancer clinic of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski, a brilliant researcher from Poland, is

raided by the FDA and the Texas Department of Health. Just before the raids, the National Cancer

Institute had announced they would evaluate the pioneering work of Dr. Burzynski, which involved

cancer treatment using antineoplastons. With the help of health freedom champions like Dr. Julian

Whitaker, Dr. Burzynski fought FDA oppression and went on to save the lives of countless cancer

patients, some of which are profiled on his clinic website today:www.CancerMed.com

1992, San Diego, Calif.: The heads of three European vitamin companies, along with their U.S.

marketing professional David Halpern, are arrested and charged with 198 counts of conspiracy,

smuggling, and violation of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for importing simple nutritional

supplements that are freely available in Britain, Germany, and other European countries. The

indictments reportedly carried combined prison terms of 990 years.

And this report, by the way, doesn't even cover the FDA's terror-style tactics against a company called Lane

Labs, which developed and marketed anti-cancer supplements that really worked.

As you can see from this report, it is quite clear that the FDA has the intention of destroying natural

medicine using any means necessary, including terrorism tactics.

And who supports the FDA? Pharmaceutical companies, medical associations, doctors, medical journals,

hospitals and numerous corrupt Congresspeople and Senators. By supporting the FDA, they condone the

use of terrorism tactics against the American people and, ultimately, support the continued use of police

state tactics against innocents.

You can learn more about the true history of the FDA and Big Pharma in my tell-all book,Natural Health

Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them.
