Media Quotes
"Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent every year to control the
public mind".
-Prof Naom Chomsky
"If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry
about the answers."
-Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow
"The sales propaganda is so deceptive that most of the people believe it,
and the medical and drug businesses have enough control over the news media
to conceal or distort the reports of deaths and disasters from vaccines to
keep the people in the dark as to the hazards of their popularized poisons."
-E McBean
"Various New Zealand organisations have, over the last two years,
committed major gaffes, about which the public knows little, because
fortunately for them, the media covers medical myths with rose-scented
disinformation."
-Hilary Butler
"One of the most common emotional manipulations used by doctors on
journalists is "How could what they say be true? Why would we say anything
other than the truth? What have we got to gain by making kids sick? We got
into medicine because we love children." I love it. I simply lead journalists
to the filing cabinets, the medical articles, the masses of information, and
let the journalists judge for themselves the motives of such accusers. But
when I say to journalists "You've seen all my hard data, now where is their
evidence? Where is their hard fact? Where is their proof?" the situation
changes. Such is the conditioning of journalists that they cannot confront
the realisation that they have demanded total factual accountability from me
yet walked out satisfied that the letters after someone's name guarantees
authenticity of every word said. So they fall back on the fallacy of
authority."
-Hilary Butler
"And that's why we have to be so certain that we vaccinate in our
society."
- Dr. Tim Johnson (ABC News Medical Editor)
"Nightline on October 14th. The distortions and misrepresentations were of
a very poor quality. Most were transparent or, at least translucent. Today,
parents are becoming better informed on the risks involved in childhood
vaccination. They are reading and researching medical literature and finding
the truths themselves. This means that "the bar has been raised" and a
production of Nightline's caliber has an obligation to more effectively
deceive and manipulate a more sophisticated audience. Here is a critique with
some suggestions. Please take them to heart. The next time you do a story on
vaccines, we look forward to seeing a sophisticated cover-up, not an amateur
hatchet-shop like the one on October 14th."
-Michael Horwin & Raphaele Horwin
"Newspeak was the official language...The purpose was not only to provide
a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits...but to make all
other modes of thought impossible. It was intended that when Newspeak had
been adopted once and for all Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought should
be literally unthinkable."
-1984, George Orwell (Quoted by Martin Walker, Continuum Vol 5, no 5)
"Interestingly, The New Yorker's pro-vaccine pieces both ran adjacent to
health-related ad sections, each of which contained ads placed by the
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association (PhRMA, pronounced "pharma,"
the industry's leading trade association)."
-Village Voice Oct 13 1999
"Look at the media, that's where it happens," he said. "Look at those
earliest pieces about Ho and the cocktails that ran in the Wall Street
Journal. They are just pure propaganda, pure drug company puff pieces...."And
those reporters won the Pulitzer that year for their AIDS reporting. The
pharmaceutical industry exerts a huge influence on scientists and
journalists.

One night, probably in 1880, John Swinton, then the preeminent New York
journalist, was the guest of honour at a banquet given him by the leaders of
his craft. Someone who knew neither the press nor Swinton offered a toast to
the independent press. Swinton outraged his colleagues by replying:
"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America,
as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you
who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand
that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest
opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar
salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to
write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If
I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before
twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
"The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright,
to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country
and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly
is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich
men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we
dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of
other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." (Source: Labor's Untold Story,
by Richard O. Boyer and Herbert M. Morais, published by United Electrical,
Radio & Machine Workers of America, NY, 1955/1979.)
"This item concerns payments made to U.S. Lawmakers by organizations
interested in keeping the present fraudulent medical system going. I have
reported that American special interest groups 'showered a record 22.6
million on candidates in 1976 and that the top donors were the medical
associations with $1,790,879."
-Hans Ruesch, medical editor and historian, 1978 (Slaughter of the
Innocent p418)
"The public press of today is largely governed by the orthodox rulers in
the medical profession."-Dr. Walter Hadwen
"Even the most independent newspapers are dependent on their press
associations for their national news. And there is no reason for a news
editor to suspect that a story cooking over the wires of the Associated
Press, the United Press or the International News Service, is censored when
it concerns health matters. Yet this is what happens constantly... The
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the organ of the Medical
Syndicate in the U.S., had bragged as far back as January 20, 1940, that the
United Press had been induced to issue a directive requiring all articles on
cures and human health to 'be cleared' through its New York bureau and
'science editors.'"
-Hans Ruesch, 1982 (Naked Empress p102)
"The medical and scientific establishments have (largely through the fact
that they have sold out to the enormously wealthy and powerful international
pharmaceutical industry) obtained more or less complete control over
politicians and the media.....advertisements for my book Food for Thouqht are
still banned by Britain's Advertising Standards Authority because the book
contains advice on what sort of diet to eat in order to reduce the chance of
developing cancer.
Because we refused to accept the ban the ASA (which, quite bizarrely, will
not accept scientific research papers or even government publications in
evidence) has warned newspapers not to accept any of our advertisements. The
ASA claims to exist to protect the public but I find it difficult to see how
banning a book that contains a summary of proven clinical advice on how to
avoid cancer can possibly protect the public. It seems to me that, wittingly
or unwittingly, the ASA is simply protecting the cancer establishment. I find
it difficult to avoid the observation that the cancer industry would
undoubtedly find it much harder to raise money if the incidence of cancer
were cut."
-Dr Vernon Coleman
"Insurance companies are cost plus providers which, have no incentive to
reduce costs. They act as "gatekeeper" and for their role in the monopoly
will not pay for any treatment which comes from outside the cartel. This
nation is coming to understand this horror is a result of complacency as well
as collusion between government agency, pharmaceutical interests and
institutional medicine and its powerful financial influence over nearly every
facet of the worldwide bureaucracy and mass media. "
-Pixley
"The author (Douglas Farah) of that article, at least when he's not
writing for the Post, knows the answer perfectly well. The U.S. led a
devastating terrorist war throughout the region to try to prevent democracy
and social development. These billions of dollars of aid that he talks about
were billions of dollars spent to destroy these countries. That's why they
are worse off than before. But the Post can't say that. No matter how
overwhelming the evidence is, it's perfectly possible simply to disregard it
and to go on with fantasies that are much more pleasing to powerful interests
and to oneself."
-Prof Naom Chomsky
"It's done differently in El Salvador. There they send in the death
squads. Here what they do is try to hook you on sitcoms. It's true that both
are techniques of control, but they are rather different techniques."
-Prof Naom Chomsky
"I called all the major network news bureaus, including Public Radio, and
reported ozone AIDS cures coming out of Europe. Not a single reporter or show
called back for details. I wrote and sent documentation to all the 'household
word' TV talk show hosts who make their living acting 'concerned' and I tried
all the 'AIDS fund raising spokespeople', show business celebs, even sending
proof of their home addresses, but as of yet not one single phone call or
inquiry came back for more."
-Ed McCabe
"There is so much medical evidence to support oxygen therapies that no
media dared cover it."-Duncan Rhoads, Nexus Editor on Ed McCabe lecture tour
of Australia.
"I found early on that you can't trust the network media in the United
States to tell the truth. They're part of the problem because they are owned
by defence contractors for a reason-which is that the $900 Billion global
defence industry is going to control that which can sink them, so what do
they do? They own the media."
-David Morehouse, M.A. Ph.D. ex US Army
Intelligence Support Command (INSCOM)
"So what do they do? They start writing articles in the New York Daily
News. Boy, that's a paper that loves to write crap on people, isn't it? Wanna
talk about a paper that supports fascism! Man, I've seen more doctors
hatcheted in there. The butchery they did on Emmanuel Revici, the butchery
they did on Lawrence Burton, calling him nothing more - what was the quote
the guy said?. . . "Burton is nothing more than a horse doctor." Denigrating
him, tearing down his character."
-Gary Null

A United States Senate Committee (Church committee) reported in l976 that
the CIA was able to sway public opinion by secretly employing at least fifty
American journalists who could be expected to publish reports consistent with
agency goals. (Church Comm.) The New York Times (12-25-26-27-1977) reported
that the C.I.A. owns outright over 200 newspapers, magazines, wire services,
and 26 publishing houses that operate in countries throughout the world.
THE
U.S. STATE SECURITY APPARATUS AND ITS VICTIMS
"The BIG Lie" Although most people are not aware of it, the fact remains
that the mass media is being used as a propaganda weapon to spread
misinformation about cheap alternatives to drugs and other pharmaceutical
products."
