"Could it be that the corruption of Big Pharma goes so deep that no government agency or law enforcement office will dare touch it? Where is Eliot Ness when we need him? Actually, we do have our own modern Eliot. A man named Eliot Spitzer, the Attorney General of New York State. Spitzer has aggressively pursued investigations and prosecutions into drug companies that have allegedly defrauded New York out of hundreds of millions of dollars, and he's one of the few leaders willing to stand up against the fraud, corruption, and criminal behavior of Big Pharma." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "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. 1987: The Life Extension Raids The Life Extension Foundation has long been targeted by the FDA." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.) "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." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"This is why paramedics, emergency medical technicians, dentists and dental hygienists, hospital and clinic employees, emergency room personnel, and law enforcement officers wear rubber gloves to prevent contact with blood products or saliva. The practice of wearing gloves also protects patients. Babies of mothers with HIV can contract the virus during pregnancy or birth, or through breast-feeding, accounting for 91 percent of all AIDS cases among U.S. children. However, this is not inevitable. In fact, statistics indicate that most such babies do not contract the virus themselves." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"The best and brightest in mental health, education and law enforcement have been contemplating this question for more than a decade, unable to come to meaningful conclusions. While officialdom may never completely understand the reasons behind a child's inexplicable and indiscriminate decision to brutally kill classmates and loved ones, one could confidently bet the family farm that the answers will never be found until all the elements are seriously considered." - Kelly Patricia O'Meara, Psyched Out: How Psychiatry Sells Mental Illness and Pushes Pills That Kill (Get the book.)

"This investigation determined the following: THE USPS ENGAGED IN DISCRIMINATION IN CONSUMER law enforcement, DOES NOT PROSECUTE THE BIGGEST AND WORST OFFENDERS IN MAIL FRAUD AND ENGAGES IN MOCK JUSTICE. Over the past eight years, and likely as far back as the USPS has existed, not one major, established company or organization has been prosecuted civilly or criminally for mail fraud. (We define a major established company or organization as one that has sales exceeding $100 million per year for a sustained period of over seven years." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) "Here are findings of this investigation of the USPS prosecutions under the civil statutes. The law enforcement activity of the USPS falls under three mail departments: 1. The Postal Inspection Service 2. The Law Department 3. The Judicial Officer Department USCA attorneys reviewed approximately 3,000 cases, which were all cases filed between 1981-1988, by the USPS under USC Title 39 Sec. 3005 and 3007. USCA has also compiled and analyzed numerous direct mail promotions, sent to consumers from 1985 to 1988, which brought no enforcement action." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"The total cost of law enforcement, including police protection, judicial, legal, defense, and corrections services for the year 1979 was $25.9 billion.11 Total arrests in the U.S. in 1981 were 8,512,697. There were 400,300 marijuana arrests in 1981, or 4.7% of all arrests. 4.7% of $25.9 billion is $1.2 billion. However, the specialized law enforcement arms such as the DEA, the use of the military and many specialized eradication teams bring up the cost by at least $1.5 billion." - Ed Rosenthal, Hemp Today (Get the book.)

"Government drug and alcohol abuse divisions and law enforcement officials are beside themselves to know how to handle the problem of doctors prescribing so many addictive and dangerous prescription drugs. If you want to gain better insight into the safety of Prozac or any other mind altering drug, don't ask those who are making money from the drug. Ask someone who is in drug enforcement or law enforcement. They are the ones who are left to pick up the pieces and assist these people in putting their lives back together again. Barbara Mortenson was a college professor." - Ann Blake Tracy, Ph.D., Prozac: Panacea or Pandora?

"Yet for years no one exposed the truth and no one even considered that such corruption could be occurring on such a widespread basis for so long within law enforcement. However, when the truth was exposed the unthinkable and unimaginable had been occurring. Right now, this same type of corruption is occurring in health care at every level. I could go on and on and on proving all of these points that I mention in this chapter and throughout this book. The evidence is overwhelming." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"The government agencies most affected by law enforcement are the various federal and state police and customs agencies which use about $2.7 billion a year on enforcement attempts. The total cost of law enforcement, including police protection, judicial, legal, defense, and corrections services for the year 1979 was $25.9 billion.11 Total arrests in the U.S. in 1981 were 8,512,697. There were 400,300 marijuana arrests in 1981, or 4.7% of all arrests. 4.7% of $25.9 billion is $1.2 billion." - Ed Rosenthal, Hemp Today (Get the book.)

"Because of pressure from law enforcement, cannabis intended for smoking is being grown in closed rooms with ever greater frequency. The cultivation of highly potent sorts in greenhouses is now especially common in the Netherlands (Jansen 1991). Most marijuana growers no longer use seed to produce new plants; they use cuttings (clones) of female plants instead. To take a cutting, a sharp knife is used to separate a vigorous 8 to 10 cm long shoot from the mother plant. The leaves are removed and the shoot is immediately placed in a container of lukewarm water." - Christian Ratsch, The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications (Get the book.)

"If hefty sales could be maintained in the crime-ridden inner-city areas there was no need to risk law enforcement's attention in small towns or tight-knit suburban communities. In slum neighborhoods where most people were hostile to the police, retailers could operate with near-impunity. If kids in the suburbs wanted heroin—and by 1980 many of them very much did—they could come into the city to obtain supplies.45 Despite expenditures of billions of federal law enforcement dollars since 1969, when the U.S." - Laurie Garrett, The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance (Get the book.)

"Overall, many advocates argued, public health's role in the bioterrorism issue could only be a comfortable one if it were an equal partner with the military and law enforcement. Or, perhaps, better than equal. In his historic speech in Atlanta during the winter of 1998 D. A. Henderson had beckoned public health to jump on board a train already in motion, conducted by the defense, intelligence, and law enforcement communities. Less than a year later public health was on board the train, but clearly not in the conductor's seat." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.) "But the fear of bioterrorism threatened to destroy that vital social contract, as it was not one shared by law enforcement or defense. The closer public health drew to the other two, the greater the danger that it would lose all trust and credibility in the eyes of the public it served.131 Some public health advocates were frankly convinced that no marriage between their profession and law enforcement could ever work, and denounced all efforts to heighten bioterrorism concerns." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.) "It was obvious that public health, law enforcement, and defense had very different priorities. For public health the paramount concerns were limiting spread of disease, identifying the causative agent, and, if possible, treating and vaccinating the populace. law enforcement, however, was in the business of stopping and solving crimes, and the scene of any bioterrorist incident was, first and foremost, a source of evidence." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.) "In most scenarios it was law enforcement that called the shots, despite the near certainty that federal and local police forces would know next to nothing about viruses, biotoxins, or bacteria. law enforcement tended to be slow to recognize such threats, and then to respond in classic police fashion, throwing every available weapon or tactic at the situation regardless of the scientific wisdom of its use. On April 24, 1997, for example, events in Washington, D.C., proceeded precisely by the book according to the FBI." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.)

"However, it said: "The provisions of this section shall not apply to acts or omissions on the part of law enforcement officers, members of the National Guard ... or members of the Armed Forces of the United States, who are engaged in suppressing a riot or civil disturbance. . . ." Furthermore, it added a section—agreed to by liberal members of Congress in order to get the whole bill passed—that provided up to five years in prison for anyone traveling interstate or using interstate facilities (including mail and telephone) "to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot." - Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (Get the book.)

"Law enforcement agencies discovered that many players on the late-1940's and early-1950's championship teams of C.C.N.Y. and Kentucky, and on many other nationally ranked squads, took bribes from gamblers to fix the outcomes of games. Moreover, the players had engaged in fixing games for a number of years, and their coaches, among the most famous in the sport—Clair Bee (L.I.U.), Nat Holman (C.C.N.Y), and Adolph Rupp (Kentucky)—probably knew about their players' malfeasance and chose not to report it to the authorities." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"While it is true that federal guidelines which curtailed government spying on political groups were adopted in the late 1970s, watchdog groups have allowed law enforcement to effectively sidestep these administrative prohibitions. Indeed, operatives for the ADL have played a key role in spying on suspected political dissidents from across the political spectrum. "By the mid-1980s, the ADL was swapping files with hundreds of 'official friends,' the organization's euphemism for US law enforcement and intelligence sources," writes Robert I. Friedman in the Village Voice." - The Disinformation Company, Everything You Know Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies (Get the book.) "Some who did get caught admitted to having hundreds of numbers and using them to avoid This compromised law enforcement communications between LAPD detectives and other assigned law enforcement officers working various aspects of the case. The organization discovered communications between organized crime intelligence division detectives, the FBI, and the Secret Service. Shock spread from the DEA to the FBI in Washington, and then the CIA." - The Disinformation Company, Everything You Know Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies (Get the book.)

"The controversial (legal) use of cayenne pepper extract (pepper spray) by law enforcement officials in the U.S., applied to victims by forcing their eyelids open and applying the spray directly into the eyes, has resulted in numerous deaths, particularly in victims under the influence of drugs (e.g. cocaine) or suffering from certain medical problems including asthma. Tea preparations: Not common. Phytomedicines: A few analgesic products contain cayenne pepper extracts." - Josef A. Brinckmann and Michael P.

"He also chided Ontario for its lax handling of polluters and lack of environmental law enforcement. The cozy relationship between "the big shots", as Kennedy called the trans-national corporations, and the top most levels of our government is so secretive that even the rest of our government doesn't know uw uiorHi tnLj r r\\jm i n [_ vvmk ^uhl ur tnvinunmLn ihl nc.Mi.in what to do. MP Kraft-Sloan observed in an article she recendy wrote for The Hill Times (Aprd 10) that prodding for changes comes primardy from nongovernmental organizations, not government, which should be in charge." - Helke Ferrie, Dispatches From the War Zone of Environmental Health (Get the book.)

"Postal Service law enforcement Departments carry out selective prosecution and mock justice. This investigation shows a definite double standard in regulatory enforcement one for the top 100 largest direct marketing companies and another standard for small and medium-size direct marketing companies. The investigation also shows that the small and medium size companies that are prosecuted are put through a mock justice system in which the United States Postal Service wins 100% of the time." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"Edgar A law enforcement official of the twentieth century. Hoover became the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1924, and stayed in the position until his death in 1972. His time as director was marked by vigorous investigation and prosecution of gangsters, kidnapers, and foreign spies. • ?Hoover's activities remain controversial. Some praise him as a pioneer in scientific law enforcement, but others say that he abused his power, particularly in his investigation of the supposed influence of communists on the civil rights movement." - E.

"The attorney general is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States government. block grant A financial aid package that grants federal money to state and local governments for use in social welfare programs, such as law enforcement, community development, and health services. Block grants provide money for general areas of social welfare, rather than for specific programs. This arrangement not only reduces bureaucratic red tape, but also allows grant recipients more freedom to choose how to use the funds." - E. D. Hirsch, Joseph F. Kett, James Trefil, The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know (Get the book.)

"To mitigate the costs of the war on marijuana, asset forfeiture laws give law enforcement agencies the power to seize the property of individuals convicted, or even just accused, of marijuana and other drug crimes. Cash-strapped police forces can supplement their budgets by taking possession of marijuana offenders' homes and land. "Law enforcement agencies focus resources on enforcement of drug laws because of the financial gains for the agencies arising from forfeitures," observe the authors of The Economic Anatomy of a Drug War." - Sandor Ellix Katz, The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved (Get the book.)
