I just spoke about it with Anthony Rees in S.Africa, who emailed me software for "Freetel" which allows for free telephone calls to be made across the internet. We are going to create an international network for conference calls regarding this and related information such as the current unconstitutional scam unfolding in S.Africa where a meeting will take place in Pretoria on October 9th where the government will announce the adoption of fast tracked legislation which forces dietary supplement companies to adopt full pharmaceutical GMP standards or be forced out of business.

The legislation in S.Africa was fast tracked, with no public hearing, and only a 2 week public comments period as a token gesture of civility. The S.African legislation stems from a S.African proposed rule bearing the identical # as the FDA proposed rule put forth on CGMPs in the not too distant past (see Emord's comments on this at www.emord.com, he says its unconstitutional here in the USA, but with the corruption in the courts world wide, what can we do about it? We MUST network! The footage that I shot at the CODEX meeting in Berlin will be uploaded soon to the IAHF website, along with the footage of the pre Codex meeting of the US delegation in which I caught the FDA lying, and flagrantly ignoring a letter I had from the Chair of the House Oversight Committee, Dan Burton (and 4 other Congressmen) demanding that FDA listen to me and remove the 2nd paragraph from their Codex comments which threaten to harmonize our laws with the EUs where supplements are regulated as "drugs".

(Its unconstitutional in S.Africa too, but Mandela is hobnobbing with the Rockefellers... Identical legislation has just been fast tracked in Chile. If you read the information below, taken off Dr.Rath's website, you'll have a much more solid understanding of what we're battling.

STOP THE ABUSE OF CODEX ALIMENTARIUS

 

BY THE PHARMA-CARTEL

- THE BERLIN TRIBUNAL -

 

On September 17, 1998 a Public Tribunal was held in Berlin against the

Pharma-Cartel, Helmut Kohl and other accomplices of this Cartel for

planning, committing and assisting mass murder and crimes against humanity.

Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D. who led the breakthrough in the control of

cardiovascular disease by vitamins, convened this Public Tribunal on the eve

of the Codex Alimentarius meeting in this city.

This complaint will be formalized and submitted to the International Court of

Justice and other courts around the world. Patients and people around the

world are encouraged to take similar legal action against the accused of this

complaint in local, regional and national courts around the world.

 Starting September 21, 1998 the full text of this complaint will be made

available via the INTERNET at www.rath.nl - a web-site that is

currently contacted by several thousand visitors every day.

PREAMBLE

 

This is a public tribunal, a formal complaint

to the International Court of Justice and

other courts as well as a direct appeal to the

patients and people of the world to bring to

justice the pharmaceutical corporations,

their executives, accomplices and all those

responsible for the greatest crimes ever

committed in the course of human history.

Hundreds of millions of people continue to

die from heart attacks, strokes and other

diseases that can be prevented and

eliminated. This holocaust is neither the

result of coincidence nor negligence. The

pharmaceutical corporations have planned

and executed this mass murder and genocide

willfully and systematically to further

expand a global drug market of over one

trillion dollars annually.

Prevention and eradication of any disease

significantly reduces or totally eliminates

the sales of pharmaceutical drugs for this

disease. Therefore, pharmaceutical

corporations systematically obstruct and

even fight the prevention and the eradication

of diseases. More than 95% of the

pharmaceutical drugs currently sold are

without proven efficacy while the severe

2

side-effects of these drugs have become the

fourth leading cause of death in the

industrialized world. Thus, pharmaceutical

corporations also promote the occurrence of

new diseases as the basis for their expanding

global market of pharmaceutical drugs.

To commit these crimes, the pharmaceutical

corporations use a maze of executors and

accomplices in science, medicine, mass

media and in politics. The governments of

entire nations are infiltrated and run by

lobbyists and executors of the

pharmaceutical industry. The legislation of

these nations is corrupted and abused to

systematically continue the mass murder

and genocide of millions of innocent

patients and people.

Throughout the 20 th century the

pharmaceutical industry was built and

organized with the goal to control the health

care system of nations by systematically

replacing natural, non-patentable therapies

with patentable and therefore profitable

synthetic drugs. The architects of the

pharmaceutical industry were unscrupulous

entrepreneurs and financiers who, from the

very beginning of this industry, had defined

the human body and the diseases it hosts as

their marketplace.

As the result of the systematic take-over of

the health care system by nationally and

internationally operating pharmaceutical

corporations billions of people in almost all

countries of the United Nations have been

paying trillions of dollars for pharmaceutical

drugs that neither prevent diseases nor cure

them. The governments, the economic and

social sectors of all industrialized countries

are currently held hostage by the ill-conceived

and criminal practices of

pharmaceutical corporations.

A particular example is the Federal

Republic of Germany, the leading export

nation of such pharmaceutical products in

the world. Throughout the 20 th century, the

German pharmaceutical corporations

Hoechst, Bayer and BASF have determined

the fate not only of that country but of the

entire world. In an effort to control the

global chemical and pharmaceutical

markets, these corporations formed the IG

Farben Cartel already at the beginning of

this century, sponsored the rise of Hitler to

power and were the driving economic force

behind the Second World War and Hitler's

effort to conquer the world. Hoechst, Bayer

and BASF were the organizers of the giant

industrial plant IG Auschwitz using as their

forced labor camp the Concentration Camp

Auschwitz, the largest crime site of human

history.

At the 1947 Nuremberg Tribunal 24 of the

managers of Hoechst, Bayer and BASF and

other IG Farben executives were accused of

the following crimes against humanity:

 planning and leading the war

 

 mass murder

 

conducting criminal experiments on

innocent inmates of concentration

camps

 grand theft and plundering

 

 slavery and other crimes.

The US lead prosecutor Telford Taylor said

in the Nuremberg Tribunal against these IG

Farben executives: "Not the Nazi lunatics

but these accused are responsible for this

war. And if they are not punished for these

crimes the harm they will do to future

generations is much greater than Hitler

could ever have done if he were alive."

The IG Farben Cartel was dismantled and

split by the Nuremberg Tribunal into the

daughter companies Hoechst, Bayer and

BASF. With the help of Nelson Rockefeller,

their former business partner and US

Undersecretary of State after the war, all

convicted IG Farben managers were

released from prison already in 1952 and

reassumed positions in the highest levels of

German industry.

The prediction of Nuremberg Tribunal

prosecutor Taylor soon became true. In

post-war Germany the positions of chairmen

of Hoechst, Bayer and BASF were held by

war-time IG Farben directors and former

members of the Nazi party for over a quarter

of a century after the second world war.

Hoechst, Bayer and BASF lost no time to

build up other political leaders to serve their

interests in post-war Germany. Between

1959 and 1969 Helmut Kohl worked for the

"Verband der Chemischen

Industrie"(Association of Chemical

Industry), the largest lobby organization of

 

3

the chemical-pharmaceutical industry. This

industry systematically promoted Helmut

Kohl&rsquo;s political career thereby continuing to

instrumentalize the German government for

their global expansion plans. And their

investment paid out. Now, fifty years after

the Nuremberg Tribunal split the criminal

IG Farben Cartel into Hoechst, Bayer and

BASF each of these three daughter

companies is 20 times larger than the IG

Farben empire ever was. Today, these IG

Farben successors are the largest exporters

of pharmaceutical products in the world,

maintaining an industrial network over 120

countries of the world.

For almost two decades, Helmut Kohl has

been heading the German government.

During this time the government of

Germany became the political spearhead of

the global conquest of the pharmaceutical

industry and of the world-wide genocide

and mass murder committed on their behalf.

The criminal role of the pharmaceutical

corporations and the German government

becomes particularly evident by the effort to

suppress one of the greatest advances in

medicine, which will lead to the elimination

of heart disease.

The year 1990 became a turning point in

medicine world-wide. In that year Dr.

Matthias Rath discovered that heart attacks

and strokes are no diseases. Similar to

scurvy, they are the direct result of long-term

vitamin deficiencies and they are

preventable and reversible. It was also

discovered that animals don&rsquo;t get heart

attacks because they manufacture their own

vitamin C, thereby maintaining optimum

stability of their artery walls. Moreover,

daily supplementation of vitamins and other

essential nutrients were clinically shown to

halt the development of coronary artery

disease and also reverse existing

atherosclerotic deposits by inducing a

natural healing process in the artery wall.

Thus, it became clear that cardiovascular

disease, currently the number one cause of

death in the industrialized world, would

essentially become unknown in future

generations of mankind.

These discoveries triggered an entirely new

and basic understanding of medicine and

human health, Cellular Medicine. Human

diseases develop at the level of cells and the

most frequent cause of cellular malfunction

is a chronic deficiency of vitamins and other

cellular bioenergy molecules. On the basis

of Cellular Medicine today's most common

disease can be largely prevented and

eliminated including high blood pressure,

heart failure, irregular heartbeat, diabetic

complications, osteoporosis and other health

problems thus far considered incurable.

Since natural remedies - available to

everyone - are the solution to these health

problems, it became clear that the time it

will take to eliminate all these diseases is

dependent on one single factor alone: How

fast can the information about this medical

breakthrough be spread to millions of

patients and billions of people inhabiting

this planet.

The discovery that vitamins and other

essential nutrients are the answer to the most

common health problems of our time

marked not only a turning point in medicine

but it immediately threatened the very

existence of the pharmaceutical industry.

The global pharmaceutical market of

cardiovascular drugs alone is in excess of

several hundred million dollars every year

and the single largest segment of the global

drug market. In order to artificially stabilize

their global pharmaceutical drug market the

pharmaceutical corporations now formed an

international Pharma-Cartel. This Pharma-Cartel

organizes a global campaign to

systematically obstruct, suppress the

dissemination of the life-saving information

of this medical breakthrough and to publicly

discredit the health benefits of vitamins and

other natural remedies.

Between 1991 and 1994 and as a direct

reaction to Dr. Rath's discoveries, the

Pharma-Cartel tried to make vitamins and

other essential nutrients prescription drugs

in the US, their single largest national

market. The pretenses under which the

Pharma-Cartel promoted their legislative

plan, "consumer protection" from non-existing

side-effects and "international

harmonization" to adapt inadequately low

daily nutritional recommendations, were

false and deceptive. However the statistical

facts uncovered the deception of the

Pharma-Cartel and showed that in the last

ten years no American had died from side

 

4

effects of vitamins and other essential

nutrients. Supported by millions of

Americans, US Congress unanimously

passed the Dietary Supplement Health and

Education Act of 1994, which secured

unrestricted access to nutritional

supplements.

After the largest national market escaped the

control of the Pharma-Cartel, it turned to the

international political bodies and found

refuge within the "Codex Alimentarius"

Commission of the United Nations World

Health Organization (WHO) and Food and

Agricultural Organization (FAO).

Spearheaded by Helmut Kohl and the

German government on behalf of the

Pharma-Cartel this Codex Alimentarius

Commission is currently preparing

legislation to outlaw all health information

regarding the preventive or therapeutic use

of vitamins and other natural, non-patentable

health products in all member

countries of the United Nations. To hide the

real purpose of these plans they are

promoted under the pretense and deception

of "consumer protection" and "international

harmonization" of nutrients. According to

the Pharma Cartel, these unethical

recommendations should become binding

law for all member countries of the United

Nations in the immediate future.

These criminal acts by the Pharma-Cartel

and their accomplices deliberately deprive

hundreds of millions of people of optimum

health care. The direct result of these actions

is the continuous suffering and premature

death of almost every human being living

today. If this mass murder and genocide

committed by and on behalf of the

pharmaceutical corporations is not stopped

immediately it will continue and threaten

human health and life in future generations

of mankind.

Because of the historic and global

dimension of these crimes a

comprehensive effort involving all

mankind is necessary to establish justice.

To initiate this world-wide effort, a public

tribunal was held in Berlin, Germany on

September 17, 1998, the eve of the

"Codex Alimentarius" Commission's

meeting in this city. Moreover, a formal

complaint is filed with the International

Court of Justice in The Hague,

Netherlands.

At the same time, the full text of this

complaint was made public through the

Internet and other means to people all

over the world. Patients suffering from

cardio-vascular disease or any other

disease mentioned in this complaint are

encouraged to start litigation in their

local, regional and national courts against

the pharmaceutical corporations and

their accomplices responsible for having

prevented the eradication of these

diseases long ago.

PLAINTIFFS

 

Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D. is the plaintiff in

this tribunal on behalf of the patients of the

world and the people of all countries of the

United Nations. Dr. Rath is the scientist who

led the medical breakthrough towards the

control of cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Rath's scientific discoveries that heart

attacks and strokes can be eliminated by

natural means, directly triggered the

formation of the international Pharma-Cartel

and its unscrupulous effort for a global ban

of life-saving information on the health

benefits of vitamins and other natural

therapies. It is therefore incumbent upon this

scientist to take the world-wide lead in

stopping the mass murder organized on

behalf of the Pharma-Cartel and bringing to

justice those individuals and corporations

responsible.

THE ACCUSED

 

The accused in this tribunal as well as in any

local, regional or national litigation on this

matter are the following individuals,

corporations and other entities:

1. Executives of Pharmaceutical

Corporations and leaders of the

international Pharma-Cartel:

a) Hoechst AG, its CEO Jürgen

Dormann and all executives

personally

b) BASF AG, its CEO Jürgen Strube

and all executives personally

 

5

c) Bayer AG, its CEO Manfred

Schneider and all executives

personally

2. Executives of other pharmaceutical

corporations

a) Merck Inc., USA and all its

executives personnaly

b) Bristol Myers Squibb Inc., USA and

all its executives

c) Pfizer Inc., USA and all its

executives

d) Roche AG, Switzerland, and all its

executives

e) Glaxo/Wellcome Ltd., United

Kingdom, and all its executives

f) Rhone-Poulenc-Rhorer, France, and

all its executives

g) Norvatis, Norway, and all its

executives

Further executives of pharmaceutical

corporations will be added to this

complaint as the now starting world-wide

investigations proceed.

3. The political executors and accomplices

of the world-wide Pharma-Cartel

a) Lead executor: Helmut Kohl

Between 1982 and 1998 Kohl

abused the entire political system of

the Federal Republic of Germany to

organize and execute mass murder

and other crimes against humanity

on behalf of the Pharma-Cartel both

nationally and world-wide.

b) Executors and accomplices:

i) Horst Seehofer, currently

German secretary of health

ii) Manfred Kanther, currently

German secretary of internal

affairs

iii) Günther Rexrodt, currently

German secretary of

economics

iv) The government of the

Federal Republic of Germany

Further political executors and

accomplices of the Pharma-Cartel

will be added to this complaint as

the now starting world-wide

investigation proceeds.

4. Other individuals and organizations in

the field of industry, finance, politics,

the media, science and medicine who, in

the course of the beginning

comprehensive investigation will be

identified of having directly or

indirectly participated in or contributed

to these crimes.

COMPETENCE OF THE COURTS

 

I. This complaint is formally filed with the

International Court of Justice in The

Hague, The Netherlands, for the

following compelling reasons:

1. The International Court of Justice in

the Hague has the competence for

trials against humanity. In a similar

way, the International Court of

Justice conducted the International

Tribunal on War Crimes Against

former Yugoslavia and against

individuals who had committed

crimes against humanity. The mass

murder, genocide and other crimes

committed by and on behalf of the

Pharma-Cartel surpass those

committed by any war criminals by

an order of magnitude.

2. The extraordinary magnitude of

these crimes essentially affecting

every human life on earth urges for

international proceedings in

addition to any legal action that may

be taken at the local, regional or

national level.

3. To organize these crimes, the

Pharma-Cartel abuses bodies of the

United Nations Organizations such

as the World Health Organization

(WHO), Food and Agricultural

Organization (FAO) and the "Codex

Alimentarius Commission"

established under the auspices of

these UN-Organizations. These

efforts directly contradict and

openly violate the purpose of these

UN-Organizations that were created

 

6

to serve humanity and not to harm

it.

Therefore, the International Court of

Justice has a moral, ethical and legal

obligation and responsibility to

initiate this case.

II. This document will serve as a legal

basis for all governments and

member countries of the United

Nations to officially support the

organization of this International

Tribunal against the accused at the

International Court of Justice,

through the United Nations

Organizations and through other

ways and means. People around the

world are encouraged to hold their

political leaders responsible if their

governments delay such support

that would bring to an end the

ongoing mass murder and world-wide

genocide committed by the

accused.

III. This document provides legal

grounds for litigation against the

accused at any local, regional or

national court world-wide for

1. patients who have been directly

or indirectly harmed, disabled,

mutilated or in any other way

physically or mentally damaged

by the accused

2. relatives of deceased who lost

their loved ones from heart

attacks, strokes, heart failure or

any other disease maintained

and expanded by the accused

3. individuals or organizations

filing class action lawsuits

against the accused

4. health insurances, corporations,

governments and other entities

filing lawsuits against the

accused for repayment of

damages in the magnitude of

hundreds of billions of dollars

5. any other individual or

organization interested in

bringing to an end the mass

murder systematically

committed by the accused.

CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

 

The defendants are accused of the following

crimes:

1. Willfully and systematically

maintaining cardiovascular and other

diseases, including high blood

pressure, heart failure, diabetic

complications and osteoporosis that are

recognized to be preventable by natural

means - thereby deliberately causing

unnecessary suffering and premature

death of hundreds of millions of

people.

2. Systematically and deliberately

preventing the eradication of

cardiovascular and other diseases by

obstructing and blocking the

dissemination of life-saving

information on the health benefits of

vitamins and other natural remedies -thereby

causing unnecessary suffering

and premature death of hundreds of

millions of people.

3. Deliberately and systematically

expanding existing diseases and

creating new diseases by

manufacturing and marketing

pharmaceutical drugs with known

detrimental side-effects - thereby

causing unnecessary suffering and

premature death of hundreds of

millions of people.

4. Systematically and willfully deceiving

the public with false, misleading and

fabricated information about causes and

treatments of most common diseases by

abusing science, medicine, media and

governments - thereby causing

unnecessary suffering and premature

death of hundreds of millions of

people.

5. Deliberately and systematically

abusing the legislative and political

system to pass laws, establish

regulations and promote public

measures with the purpose to expand

the sales of ineffective, unsafe but

7

lucrative pharmaceutical drugs &ndash;

thereby securing exorbitant gains for

the pharmaceutical industry and

causing unnecessary suffering and

premature death of hundreds of

millions of people.

6. Systematically and deliberately abusing

the legislative and political system to

pass laws, establish regulations and

promote public measures with the

purpose to ban, obstruct, legally

criminalize and publicly discredit and

deter the use of safe and affordable

vitamins and other natural remedies

recognized to effectively prevent and

treat today's most common diseases -thereby

deliberately causing

unnecessary suffering and premature

death of hundreds of millions of

people.

7. Systematically and purposely

plundering of health funds in the

magnitude of trillions of dollars from

individuals, corporations and

governments around the world by

requesting payment for ineffective and

harmful therapies.

8. Deliberately and systematically

conspiring to pass laws and make other

unethical efforts to continue all these

crimes on international level thereby

instantly threatening the health and

lives of hundreds of millions of people

world-wide as well as billions of people

in generations to come.

9. Purposely and systematically abusing

the United Nations Organizations, the

World Health Organization (WHO), the

Food and Agricultural Organization

(FAO) as well as the Codex

Alimentarius Commission to cover-up

this organized mass murder and

genocide.

10. Deliberately abusing the United

Nations Organization for Economic

Cooperation and Development (OECD)

to systematically organize censorship

of the Internet, with the goal to block

and ban dissemination of life-saving

information on essential nutrients via

this communication path and thereby

depriving the people of the world from

receiving life-saving health information

via the Internet.

Therefore, the defendants are accused of

having violated human rights and committed

the following crimes against humanity as

defined in the Geneva Convention of

August 12, 1949:

1. Mass murder and genocide. The crime

of genocide is fully applicable because

the crimes committed by the accused

affect the entire human race.

2. Conspiracy to commit mass murder and

genocide

3. Direct and public incitement to commit

mass murder and genocide

4. Attempt to commit mass murder and

genocide

5. Complicity in mass murder and

genocide

6. Willfully causing great suffering or

serious injury to body or health

7. Plundering and extensive appropriation

of private and public property

industry is based on business with diseases.

The primary interest of this industry is in

maintaining and expanding diseases, not

their prevention or cure. Following is a list

of compelling evidence for the most

immediate crimes of which the defendants

are accused. In the course of the ensuing

global investigation against the accused the

full scale of evidence will become visible.

1) The following specific evidence is

presented that pharmaceutical

companies are responsible for

deliberately maintaining existing

diseases and creating new diseases in

order to extend their global drug

markets:

a) Side-effects from the consumption

of registered pharmaceutical drugs,

is the fourth leading cause of death,

causing each year at least 8,000

deaths in Germany and over

100,000 deaths in the US.

b) Only for less than 5% of the

registered pharmaceutical drugs and

currently marketed, a therapeutic

efficacy has been established. In

Germany alone 24,000 drugs

without any proven efficacy are still

being sold and have to be paid for

by health insurances and their

subscribers.

c) Drugs approved and currently

marketed for the most common

diseases target the temporary relief

of symptoms of a disease while

avoiding to treat the cause of this

disease. Therefore the patient is

harmed several-fold:

i) The pharmaceutical drugs given

do not correct the actual cause

of disease and therefore these

diseases persist in patients.

ii) The pharmaceutical drugs given

may temporarily relieve

symptoms of diseases while

they frequently worsen the

actual cause of the disease.

Examples for this scheme is the

marketing of diuretics for heart

failure, which also flush out

vitamins thereby aggravating

the heart pumping failure, as

well as the use of cytostatic

drugs, causing immune

deficiency, thereby accelerating

cancer progress.

iii) All synthetic pharmaceutical

drugs have known detrimental

side-effects to the human body

causing organ damage and

generating new diseases.

Moreover, the pharmaceutical

drugs are synthetic substances

which have to be detoxified by

the body. Drug elimination

pathways are purely understood

and drug administration

frequently intoxicates the body

causing new diseases or death

of the patient.

d) The accused are fully aware that

vitamins and other essential

nutrients effectively prevent and

treat cardiovascular disease and

other common diseases. In order to

prevent the eradication of all these

diseases through adequate

consumption of vitamins by patients

and the general public, the accused

established through accomplices in

science and politics inadequately

low daily recommendations for

vitamins and other nutrients. In

order to intimidate the public and

create the false impression that

"overdosing" of these natural

substances could be possible, the

accused deliberately titled their

recommendations "daily

allowances". Without any scientific

or clinical basis, the German

"Gesellschaft für Ernährung" a

cover organization of the Pharma-Cartel,

defines 75 mg of Vitamin C

as a daily limit for people while

clinical evidence calls for at least

230 mg per day. By purposely

fixing these low recommendations

and by discrediting and even

criminalizing the recommendation

of higher values, the accused take

9

yet another step to purposely

maintaining diseases and preventing

their eradication.

e) The following evidence is presented

that today&rsquo;s most common health

problems are preventable by

natural means and are, despite that

fact, purposely and systematically

maintained and expanded by the

accused:

i) Coronary heart disease: The

primary cause of coronary

artery disease and heart attacks

is a structural weakening and

impaired function of the artery

wall which develops - similar to

scurvy &ndash; as the result of long-term

deficiencies of vitamins

and other essential nutrients.

Pharmaceutical approaches to

the prevention and treatment of

cardiovascular disease

deliberately ignore this cause

and focus rather on the

treatment of symptoms, such as

the reduction of cholesterol

production in the liver. While

deliberately avoiding to cure the

disease for which they are

marketed, the detrimental side-effects

of these pharmaceutical

drugs cause new diseases.

The world-wide death toll

from cardiovascular disease

as a result of these deliberate

actions is in excess of 12

million lives every year.

 

ii) High blood pressure: The

primary cause of high blood

pressure is an increased tension

of the artery wall from a

deficiency of essential nutrients

in the arterial smooth muscle

cells leading to narrowing of the

artery diameter and rise in

blood pressure. Pharmaceutical

approaches for the prevention

and treatment of high blood

pressure deliberately ignore this

fact. Pharmaceutical drugs sold

for the treatment of high blood

pressure purposely focus on the

treatment of symptoms: Beta

blockers and calcium channel

blockers reduce the heart rate or

diuretics reduce the blood

volume. While deliberately

avoiding curing the disease for

which they are marketed, these

pharmaceutical drugs are

known to have detrimental side

effects and cause new diseases.

World-wide several hundred

million high blood pressure

patients remain uncured as a

direct result of these actions

by the accused and their

death toll is rising daily.

 

iii) Heart Failure: The primary

cause of heart failure is lack of

vitamins, minerals, ubiquinone

and other bioenergy carriers in

millions of muscle cells of the

heart. This results in impaired

heart pumping and

accumulation of water in the

body. Pharmaceutical

approaches for the treatment of

heart failure deliberately ignore

this fact and focus on

symptoms. Diuretics marketed

for the treatment of heart failure

not only eliminate water

accumulated in the body but

also washes out vitamins,

minerals and other water-soluble

bioenergy carriers. Thus

the pharmaceutical drugs

marketed for heart failure

actually worsen the disease and

they are responsible for the

extremely short life expectancy

of heart failure patients once

diuretic medication sets in.

While deliberately avoiding to

cure the disease for which they

are marketed, these

pharmaceutical drugs are

known to worsen the disease,

cause premature deaths of heart

failure patients and are the

primary cause for the extremely

unfavorable prognosis of this

disease.

World-wide over hundred

million heart failure patients

remain uncured as a direct

10

result of these actions by the

accused and the death toll is

rising daily.

 

iv) Irregular heartbeat: The primary

cause of irregular heartbeat is

lack of vitamins, minerals,

ubiquinone and other bioenergy

carriers in millions of electrical

heart muscle cells. This results

in impaired generation or

conduction of the electrical

impulses required for normal

heartbeat. Pharmaceutical

approaches for the treatment of

irregular heartbeat deliberately

ignore this fact and focus on

symptoms instead. Anti-arrhythmic

drugs marketed to

treat arrhythmia are frequently

responsible for actually

worsening the irregularity of the

heartbeat and causing heart

arrest and premature death of

patients. The author Thomas

Moore documented in his book

"Deadly Medicine" that one

class of anti-arrhythmic drugs in

the USA alone caused more

deaths than the number of US

casualties in the Vietnam War.

v) World-wide over hundred

million patients with irregular

heartbeat remain uncured as

a direct result of these actions

by the accused and their

death toll is rising daily.

 

vi) In a similar way, cardiovascular

complications of diabetes,

osteoporosis and other common

diseases are systematically

maintained and expanded by

marketing pharmaceuticals

deliberately designed for false

and misleading therapeutic

targets by the accused.

f) The following drugs and category of

drugs are manufactured and

marketed by the accused

deliberately despite of their known

detrimental side-effects and thereby

causing new diseases under false

pretense to fight existing ones. The

fact that these new diseases caused

by side-effects of these drugs

surface many years later is used as

an additional cover for this

deceptive scheme:

i) Cholesterol-lowering drugs,

particularly statins and fibrates

 

are mass-marketed under the

pretense of preventing

cardiovascular disease. These

drugs are known to induce

cancer already at doses

currently administered to

millions of patients world-wide.

ii) Aspirin is mass-marketed under

the false pretense of preventing

heart attacks and strokes, while

long-term use of this drug is

known to cause an increase of

heart attacks, strokes as well as

other diseases such as stomach

ulcers and gastrointestinal

bleeding.

iii) Calcium antagonists are mass-marketed

under the false

pretense of treating high blood

pressure and preventing heart

attacks, while long-term use of

these drugs is known to cause

an increase of heart attacks,

strokes and other diseases.

iv) Estrogen and other hormone

drugs are mass-marketed under

the false pretense of preventing

osteoporosis and heart disease,

while long-term use of these

drugs is known to cause cancer

in more than 30% of the women

taking these drugs. Particularly

frequent forms of cancer caused

by these drugs are hormone

dependent cancers such as

cancer of the breast and uterus.

2) In order to commit these crimes the

accused have established a

comprehensive pattern of deception

ranging from fraudulent diagnostic

terms in medicine to organized media

campaigns to manipulate public

opinion. Following are examples:

a) The accused deliberately and

systematically mystify the origin of

 

11

disease by using Latin and Greek

diagnostic terms as cover with the

aim to not reveal the true cause of

the most common diseases to

patients. The following evidence is

presented here:

i) The true cause of high blood

pressure is masked by the cover

term "Essential Hypertension"

= "High blood pressure of

unknown origin"

ii) The true cause of heart failure is

masked by the cover term

"Idiopathic Cardiomyopathy" =

"Heart muscle disease of

unknown origin"

iii) The true cause of irregular heart

beat is masked by the cover

term "Paroxysmal Arrhythmia"

= "Irregular heart beat of

unknown origin"

b) In an effort to manipulate public

opinion about the true nature of

pharmaceutical drugs, the accused

have subsumed pharmaceutical

drugs under the fraudulent and

deceptive term "ethical drugs". The

word "ethical" is hereby used as a

synonym for "pharmaceutical" and

"patentable". This maneuver

automatically implies that vitamins

and other non-patentable natural

therapies are "unethical" and

therefore undesirable.

c) In executing their crimes, the

accused systematically and

deliberately extend their existing

pharmaceutical drug market by

inventing new health conditions for

which they recommend these drugs.

The following evidence is presented

here:

i) Aspirin was developed as a

headache and pain relieve pill

and is now being mass-marketed

and recommended by

BAYER for long-term use even

to healthy individuals for the

alleged prevention and

treatment of heart disease and

other severe health conditions.

ii) In order to extend the global

market of their antibiotic drugs,

HOECHST in cooperation with

other accused fabricated and

spread the so-called "bacteria-theory"

of heart attacks on a

world-wide scale. Without any

clinical evidence that chlamydia

or other bacteria cause

atherosclerosis or heart attacks

these accused criminally

promoted the general use of

antibiotics even to healthy

individuals with the false

pretense of preventing heart

attacks.

d) In executing their crimes, the

accused promote the alleged

benefits of their pharmaceutical

drugs through expensive advertising

campaigns to medical professionals

and directly to the public. The

following evidence is presented

here:

i) Public relation campaigns for

pharmaceuticals almost

exclusively feature the alleged

benefits of these

pharmaceuticals while

deliberately ignoring, down-playing

the known detrimental

side effects or hiding them in

small print.

ii) In order to finance these

expensive deception campaigns

the pharmaceutical corporations

use more than one third of their

revenues for advertising and

public relation campaigns. This

is more than twice the amount

the accused spend on research

of new treatments. Moreover,

during the last decade the

budgets of the accused for these

deceptive advertising

campaigns increased more than

ten-fold.

iii) Millions of patients are harmed

several-fold: They overpay for

pharmaceuticals that do not cure

their diseases and they

involuntarily and unknowingly

finance the advertising

 

12

campaign for their own and

continued deception.

e) In an effort to manipulate public

opinion in order to conduct their

criminal activities the accused

organize, establish and maintain

cover organizations. The following

evidence is provided:

i) The Pharma-Cartel has

established so-called "nutrition

associations" which it uses as a

cover to define and publicize

inadequately low daily

recommendations for vitamins

and other nutrients thereby

deliberately and systematically

maintaining and extending

diseases.

ii) The accused establish so-called

"consumer protection" agencies

who are used to create public

turmoil about fraudulently

alleged side-effects of vitamins

and other natural substances.

On behalf of the Pharma-Cartel

and under the pretense of

"consumer protection" these

cover organizations publicly

demand to make vitamins and

other essential nutrients

prescription drugs and to outlaw

dissemination of health

information in connection with

these natural remedies.

3) In order to commit their crimes the

accused systematically infiltrate and

manipulate science, medicine,

regulatory agencies and even the natural

health industry. The following evidence

is presented here:

a) In order to continue their crimes, the

accused focus their scientific,

medical research and clinical

studies almost exclusively on

patentable synthetic substances and

pharmaceutical drugs. Medical

research is not performed with the

primary object to find the most

effective, safest and most affordable

treatment for a disease, but with the

object to identify the largest disease

markets and to achieve the highest

gains in that market for the drug

manufacturer.

b) At the same time, the accused have

deliberately and systematically

avoided and omitted research and

clinical studies with vitamins and

other non-patentable natural

substances. The first studies

documenting health benefits for

vitamins and other essential

nutrients in the prevention of

cardiovascular disease, diabetic

complications as well as other

common diseases were published

over half a century ago. By

systematically and deliberately

neglecting and ignoring this

information over decades the

accused have willfully killed by

omission to help millions of patients

with heart disease, diabetes and

other preventable diseases.

c) In order to systematically organize

their crimes the accused infiltrated

the medical profession, which

previously had been applying

almost exclusively natural therapies.

These natural therapeutic

approaches were systematically

removed from the training programs

at medical schools, purposely

producing generations of doctors

with little or no knowledge about

the live-saving health benefits of

vitamins and other natural therapies.

Simultaneously, therapeutic

education at medical schools was

reorganized, taken over by newly

created departments of

pharmacology and generations of

doctors are leaving medical schools

practically as a trained sales force

for the Pharma-Cartel.

d) To systematically organize the

expansion of their crime scheme the

accused created an ever increasing

number of synthetic substances to

be marketed as pharmaceuticals. In

order to accelerate the introduction

of these new pharmaceuticals to the

health market the accused

systematically infiltrated the drug

regulatory agencies and registration

authorities of the governments. As a

 

13

result most so-called experts of

these approval committees are on

the payroll of the Pharma-Cartel.

e) In order to undermine and neutralize

resistance against new regulations

from the health food industry and

consumers, the Pharma-Cartel even

infiltrates the nutritional supplement

industry. The following evidence is

provided:

In 1996 the accused Pharma-Cartel

member Hoechst forged a strategic

alliance with Rexall/Sundown, a

Florida based nutritional

supplement manufacturer.

Rexall/Sundown, a publicly known

cover organization for Organized

Crime and the Genovese Crime

Family, is now using its influence in

the US nutrition and health food

industry. The "Council for

Responsible Nutrition (CRN)" and

other associations of the health food

industry are now accepting self

imposed limitations on health

claims in relation to vitamins and

natural therapies, thereby

undermining the Dietary

Supplement Health and Education

Act of 1994 and depleting patients

of life-saving information.

4) To promote their criminal plans on a

world-wide scale and to lend their

crimes the cover of legitimacy, the

accused abuse the legislative bodies on

national and international levels. They

influence, manipulate and bribe

politicians and systematically promote

their own lobbyists into highest political

positions and offices.

Particularly evident is the influence of

the accused on the government, the

legislation and the administrative bodies

of Germany. It is via the government of

this country, Germany, that the Pharma-Cartel

and its political executors are

currently trying to extend and establish

their criminal plans on a global scale by

systematically abusing the United

Nations Organizations.

a) Influencing and abusing legislation,

the accused arbitrarily defined in

their Arzneimittel-Gesetz (Drug

Law) that Vitamin C pills over and

above 500 mg are considered

prescription drugs. This unethical

law ignores the fact that most

animals produce up to 20 grams of

vitamin C, compared to the human

body weight, in their own bodies -physiologically

and for millions of

years without any side-effects.

b) Despite the fact that this law has no

scientific basis, its violation is

defined by the accused as a crime

and prosecuted by means of their

access to administrative and law

enforcement means.

c) The particularly malicious

restriction of vitamin C by the

accused has no medical or scientific

basis, it rather serves the criminal

plans of the Pharma-Cartel to

further expand diseases. Vitamin C

is one of the most important

molecules for human health and life

in general. By discrediting and

criminalizing this very essence of

human health, the accused

deliberately and systematically

impair the health as well as promote

common diseases in millions of

people as a basis for expanding their

global drug sales.

d) This criminal legislation is now

being further extended. Because a

growing number of German citizens

is obtaining their essential nutrients

from abroad, a new law was

introduced under the pretense of

"consumer protection" that also

prohibits and criminalizes the

import of vitamin C pills above 500

mg - even from within the European

Community.

e) Particularly aggravating is the fact

that the main political executor of

the Pharma-Cartel, the accused

Helmut Kohl himself, initiated this

law. On March 27, 1998 Kohl

initiated the "Erstes

Änderungsgesetz zum

Medizinproduktegesetz" (First

 

14

amendment to the Medical Product

Law). As documented on the

German government's Internet, this

was only three days after the news

about Dr. Rath's breakthrough

discoveries and the clinical proof of

natural reversal of coronary artery

disease by vitamin supplementation

aired on national German TV in the

prime-time show Frontal of Zweites

Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF). Thus,

shortly after millions of people in

Germany had learned for the first

time that optimum vitamin C intake

can prevent and effectively treat the

most common disease, the accused

Pharma-Cartel executor Helmut

Kohl, initiates a federal law that

obstructs and bans the

implementation of this health

measure. With full understanding of

the consequences, the accused

Helmut Kohl guarantees the

continuation of cardiovascular

disease and of ongoing sales for

cardiovascular pharmaceuticals.

With his acts, he deliberately and

maliciously compromises the health

and shortens the life of millions of

people in Germany and beyond.

f) The accused Helmut Kohl has

violated the Constitution of

Germany, breached his oath of

office to protect German citizens

from harm as well as national and

international criminal laws. He has

personally harmed millions of

people and bears personal

responsibility for that crime.

g) A further aggravating fact is the

context of the political career of the

accused Helmut Kohl:

i) His constituency is

Ludwigshafen, the same city

where BASF, one of the

principals of the Pharma-Cartel

and also accused here,

maintains its world

headquarters.

ii) From 1959 to 1969 the accused

was employed by the "Verband

der Chemischen Industrie", the

largest pharmaceutical-chemical

lobby organization in Germany.

The German Pharma-Cartel

promoted Helmut Kohl's

political career up to the head of

state.

iii) Helmut Kohl's personal political

mentor Dr. Riess was a war

criminal in the Second World

War. Dr. Riess owned and

operated the "Oberslesische

Gummiwerke" (Rubber plant

Upper Silesia) only a few miles

away from the concentration

camp Auschwitz. He exploited

thousands of innocent inmates

from this concentration camp as

forced labor. In 1971 Helmut

Kohl rewarded his political

mentor Dr. Riess with the

highest honor of Germany, the

Bundes-verdienstkreuz (Federal

Cross of Merit). Details can be

obtained from the books of

Bernt Engelmann, the former

President of the "Deutscher

Schriftstellerverband" (German

writers association).

h) Accused is the entire German

government. This government, led

by Helmut Kohl has systematically

implemented the criminal plans of

the Pharma-Cartel on national and

international level. In the interest of

this cartel it is continuing to abuse

the United Nations and its

organizations WHO, FAO, OECD,

Codex Alimentarius as well as other

international bodies.

INDIVIDUAL CRIMINAL

RESPONSIBILITY

 

Because the accused, like those in the

Nuremberg Tribunal, could seek refuge in a

defense that they acted in their capacity as

politicians or upon request of superiors, the

following provisions have to be part of the

tribunal proceedings:

An accused who planned, instigated,

ordered, committed or otherwise aided and

abetted in the planning, preparation or

execution of a crime referred to in this

complaint, shall be individually responsible

for the crime.

 

15

The official position of any accused person,

whether as executive of a corporation, as

Head of State or Government, as a

responsible Government official or in any

other public or private function shall not

relieve such person of criminal

responsibility nor mitigate punishment.

The fact that any of the acts referred to in

this complaint was committed by a

subordinate does not relieve his superior of

criminal responsibility if he knew or had

reason to know that the subordinate was

about to commit such acts or had done so.

The fact that an accused person acted

pursuant to an order of a government or of a

superior shall not relieve him of criminal

responsibility.

The lead corporations of the Pharma-Cartel

accused in this case are identical with the

corporations accused in the Nuremberg

Tribunal for the crimes committed in the

second World War, namely Hoechst, Bayer

and BASF. In the Nuremberg Tribunal the

executives of these corporations tried to

excuse themselves from any guilt by

blaming the doctors who administered the

drugs on their behalf.

The deadly experiments conducted on

concentration camp inmates with typhus

vaccines on behalf of Bayer and Hoechst

were blamed on the doctors applying these

procedures. In fact, several medical doctors

were sentenced to death in the Nuremberg

Tribunal, while the responsible corporate

executives of Hoechst and Bayer were

released from prison.

Any forthcoming trial has to take particular

care that this line of defense by the accused

corporations and executives is excluded

from the beginning. Those responsible of

the Pharma-Cartel, especially the executives

of Hoechst, Bayer and BASF, as well as

their political arm, Helmut Kohl, must be

held to the full extent, personally

responsible for those crimes against the

human rights.

This complaint is the starting point for a

world-wide campaign against the crimes

committed by the pharmaceutical companies

and the Pharma-Cartel, as well as their

accomplices in politics, media, science and

medicine. Further individuals and

organizations can at all times be included in

a further complaint and can be prosecuted in

an international tribunal as well in regional

and national courts.

FINAL PLADOYER

 

If the accused in this complaint are brought

to justice, mankind has the opportunity to

liberate itself from the most common

diseases of the industrial world, including

heart attacks, strokes, heart failure,

complications of diabetes, osteoporosis and

many others. Millions of lives will be saved

and the quality of life as well as life

expectancy will rise for this generation and

generations to come.

The redistribution of the wealth robbed by

the accused will serve millions of people,

and the economies of all countries of the

United Nations.

Health will become a human right not only

for the industrialized world. The new funds

available will also be used for the

developing world for health education as

well as preventive and primary health care

measures. This will inevitably lead to an

improved standard of living in these

countries and to a decrease in the current

gap between rich and poor countries.

Obstruction of these efforts will inevitably

continue these preventable diseases

resulting in unnecessary suffering and death

of millions of people.
