did you watch the videos? have you understood that medical science has been hidden from us due to the pharma cartel?
meet the Cartel
In 1987, the eighteen largest drug firms were ranked as follows:
1, Merck (U.S.) $4.2 billion in sales.
2. Glaxo Holdings (United Kingdom) $3.4 billion.
3. Hoffman LaRoche (Switzerland) $3.1 billion.
4. Smith Kline Beckman (U.S.) $2.8 billion.
5. Ciba-Geigy (Switzerland) $2.7 billion. 6. Pfizer (U.5.) $2.5
billion (Standard & Poor's gives sales as $4 billion).
6. Pfizer (U.S.) $2.5 billion (Standard & Poor's gives its sales as
$4 billion.)
7. Hoechst A. G. (Germany) $2.5 billion (Standard & Poor's lists its
sales as $38 Billion Deutschmarks).
8. American Home Products (U.S.) $2.4 billion ($4.93 billion
according to Standard & Poor's).
9. Lilly (U.S.) $2.3 billion ($3.72 billion Standard & Poor's).
10. Upjohn (U.S.) $2 billion.
11. Squibb (U.S.) $2 billion.
12. Johnson & Juhnson (U.S.) $1.9 billion.
13. Sandoz (Switzerland) $1.8 billion.
14. Bristol Myers (U.S.) $1.6 billion.
15. Beecham Group (United Kingdom) $1.4 billion (Standard & Poor's
gives $1.4 billion in sales of the U.S. subsidiary $2.6 billion
pounds sterling as overall income).
Johnson & Juhnson
16. Bayer A. G. (Germany) $1.4 bilIion (Standard & Poor's gives the
figure as $45.9 billion Deutschmarks).
17. Syntex (U.S.) $1.1 billion.
18. Warner Lambert (U.S.) $1.1 billion (Standard & Poor's gives the
figure as $3.1 billion).
Thus we find that the United States still maintains an overwhelming
lead in the production and sale of drugs. In the United States, the
sale of prescription drugs rose in 1987 by 12.5% to $27 billion.
Eleven of the eighteen leading firms are located in the United
States; three in Switzerland; two in Germany; and two in the United
Kingdom. Nutritionist T.J. Frye notes that the Drug Trust in the
United States is controlled by the Rockefeller group in a cartel
relationship with I.G. Farben of Germany. In fact, I.G. Farben was
the largest chemical concern in Germany during the 1930s, when it
engaged in an active cartel agreement with Standard Oil of New
Jersey. The Allied Military Government split it up into three
companies after World War II, as part of the "anti-cartel" goals of
that period, which was not unlike the famed splitting up of Standard
Oil itself by court order, while the Rockefellers maintained
controlling interest in each of the new companies. In Germany,
General William Draper, of Dillon Read investment bankers, unveiled
the new decree from his office in the I.G. Farben building.
Henceforth, I.G. Farben would exist no more; instead, three companies
would emerge-Bayer, of Leverkusen; BASF at Ludwigshafen; and Hoescht,
near Franfort. Each of the three spawns is now larger than the old
I.G. Farben; only ICI of England is larger. These firms export more
than half of their product. BASF is represented in the United States
by Shearman and Sterling, the Rockefeller law firm of which William
Rockefeller is a partner.
The world's No. 1 drug firm, Merck, began as an apothecary shop in Darmstadt,
Germany, in 1668. Its president, John J. Horan, is a partner of J.P. Morgan
Company, and the Morgan Guaranty Trust. He attended a Bilderberger meeting in
Rye, New York, May 10-12,1985. In 1953, Merck absorbed another large drug firm,
Sharp & Dohme. At that time, Oscar Ewing the central figure in the government
Floridation promotion for the Aluminum Trust, was secretary of the Merck firm,
his office then being at
One Wall Street, New York
. Directors of Merck include John T. Connor, who began his business career with
Cravath, Swaine and Moore, the law firm for Kuhn,Loeb Company; Connor then
joined the Office of Naval Research, became Special Assistant to the Secretary
of the Navy 1945-47, became president of Merck, then president of Allied Stores
from 1967-80, then chairman of Schroders, the London banking firm. Connor is
also a director of a competing drug firm, Warner Lambert, director of the media
conglomerate Capital Cities ABC, and director of Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan
Bank. Each of the major drug firms in the United States has at least one
director with close Rockefeller connections, or with a Rothschild bank. Another
director of Merck is John K. McKinley, chief operating officer of Texaco; he is
also a director of Manufacturers Hanover Bank, which Congressional records
identify as a major Rothschild bank. McKinley is also a director of the aircraft
firm, Martin Marietta, Burlington Industries, and is a director of the
Rockefeller-controlled Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute. Another Merck director
is Ruben F. Mettler, chairman of the defense contractor TRW, Inc.; he was
formerly chief of the Guided Missiles Department at Ramo-Wooldridge, and has
received the human relations award from the National Conference of Christians
and Jews-he is also a director of Bank of America.
Other directors of Merck include Frank T. Cary, who was chairman of IBM for many
years; he is also a director of Capital Cities ABC, and partner of J.P. Morgan
Company; Lloyd C. Elam, president of Meharry Medical College, Nashville, TN, the
nation's only black medical college. Elam is also a director of the American
Psychiatric Association, Nashville City Bank, and the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation, which gives him a close connection to Rockefeller's Sloan Kettering
Cancer Center; Marian Sulzberger Heiskell, heiress of the New York Times
fortune. She was married to Orville Dryfoos, the paper's editor, who died of a
heart attack during a newspaper strike; she then married Andrew Heiskell in a
media merger-he was chairman of Time magazine and had been with the Luce
organization for fifty years. She is also a director of Ford Motor. Heiskell is
director of People for the
American Way
, a political activist group, chairman of the New York Public Library, and the
Book-of-the-Month Club. Also on the board of Merck is a family member, Albert W.
Merck; Reginald H. Jones, born in England, formerly chairman of General
Electric, now chairman of the Board of Overseers, Wharton School of Commerce,
director of Allied Stores and General Signal Corporation; Paul G. Rogers, who
served in Congress from the 84th to the 95th Congresses; he was chairman of the
important subcommittee on health; in 1979, he joined the influential Washington
law firm and lobbyist, Hogan and Hartson. He is also a director of the American
Cancer Society, the Rand Corporation, and Mutual Life Insurance.
Thus we find that the world's No. 1 drug firm has directors who are partners of
J.P. Morgan Company, one who is director of Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank
and who is director of the Rothschild Bank, Manufacturers Hanover; most of the
directors are connected with vital defense industries, and interlock with other
defense firms. On the board of TRW, of which Ruben Mettler is chairman, is
William H. Krome George, former chairman of ALCOA, and Martin Feldstein, former
economic advisor to President Reagan. The major banks, defense firms, and
prominent political figures interlock with the CIA and the drug firms.
The No. 2 drug firm is Glaxo Holdings, with $3.4 billion in sales. Its chairman
is Austin Bide; deputy chairman is P. Girolami, who is a director of National
Westminster Bank, one of England's Big Five. Directors are Sir Alistair Frame,
Chairman of Rio Tinto Zinc, one of the three firms which are the basis of the
Rothschild fortune; Frame is also on the board of another Rothschild holding,
the well known munitions firm, Vickers; also Plessey, another defense firm which
recently bid on a large contract with the U.S. Army; Frame is president of
Britoil, and director of Glaxo are Lord Fraser of Kilmarnock, who was deputy
chairman of the Conservative Party (now the ruling party in England) from 1946
to 1975, when he joined Glaxo; Lord Fraser was also a member of the influential
Shadow cabinet; B.D. Taylor, counselor of Victoria College of Pharmacy and
chairman of Wexham Hospital; J.M. Raisman, chairman of Shell Oil UK Ltd.,
another Rothschild controlled firm. Lloyd's Bank, one of the Big Five, British
Telecommunications, and the Royal Committee on Environmental Pollution; Sir
Ronald Arculus, retired from Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service after a
distinguished career; he had served in San Francisco, New York, Washington and
Paris; he was then appointed Ambassador to Italy, and was the UK Delegate to the
United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which sought to apportion
marine wealth among the have-not countries: Arculus is now a director of
Trusthouse Forte Hotels, and London and Continental Bankers; and Professor R. G.
Dahrendorf, one of the world's most active sociologists and a longtime Marxist
propagandist. Dahrendorf, a director of the Ford Foundation since 1976, is a
graduate of the London School of Economics, professor of sociology at Hamburg
and Tubingen, parliamentary Secretary of State at the Foreign Office, West
Germany since 1976, and has received honors from Senegal, Luxemburg andLeopold
II. The Rothschilds apparently appointed Dahrendorf a director of Glaxo because
of his emphatic Marxist pronunciamentos. The European director of the Ford
Foundation, he claims, in his book, "Marx in Perspective," that Marx is the
greatest factor in the emergence of modern society. Dahrendorfs principal
contribution to sociology has been his well-advertised concept of the "new man,"
whom he has dubbed "homo sociologicus," a being who has been transformed by
socialism into a person whose every distinctive feature, including racial
characteristics, have disappeared. He is the modern robot, a uniform creature
who can easily be controlled by the force of world socialism. Dahrendorf is the
apostle of the modern faith that there are no racial differences in any of the
various races of mankind; he denounces any mention of "superiority" or of
differing skills as "ideological distortion." Dahrendorf is a prominent member
of the Bilderbergers; he attended their meeting at Rye, New York from May 10-12,
1985. He is professor of Sociology at Konstanz University, as well as his other
previously mentioned posts. Thus we find that the world's No. 2 drug firm is
directed by two of the Rothschild's family's most trusted henchmen and by the
world's most outspoken explicator of Marxism.
The world's No. 3 drug firm, Hoffman LaRoche of Switzerland, is still controlled
by members of the Hoffman family, aIthough there have been rumors of takeover
attempts in recent years. The firm was founded by Fritz Hoffman, who died in
1920. The firm's first big seller was Siropin in 1896; its sales of Valium and
Librium now amount to one billion dollars a year; its subsidiary spread the
dangerous chemical, dioxin, over the Italian town, Seveso, which cost $150
million to clean up in a 10 year campaign. His son's widow, Maya Sacher, is now
married to Paul Sacher, a musician who is conductor of the Basle Chamber
Orchestra. Hoffman had added his wife's name, LaRoche, to the family company, as
is the custom in Europe; the Hoffmans still control 75% of the voting shares.
The Sachers have one of the world's most expensive art collections, Old Masters
and modern paintings. In 1987, Hoffman LaRoche tried to take over Sterling Drug,
a venture in which they were aided by Lewis Preston, chairman of J.P. Morgan
Company; he also happened to be Sterling's banker. In the ensuing brouha-ha,
Preston decided to retire. Eastman Kodak then bought Sterling, with backing from
the Rockefellers. The chairman of Hoffman LaRoche is Fritz Gerber, a 58 year old
Swiss army colonel. The son of a carpenter, he became a lawyer, then chairman of
Hoffman LaRoche. Gerber is also a director of Zurich Insurance; thus he is
associated with Switzerland's two biggest firms; he draws a salary of 2.3
million Swiss francs per year, plus a $1.7 million working agreement with Glaxo
holdings. Hoffman LaRoche received a great deal of publicity in April 1988
because of unfavorable revelations about its acne drug, "Accutane" after the
Food and Drug Administration publicized figures that the drug had caused 1000
spontaneous abortions, 7000 other abortions, and other side effects such as
joint aches, drying of skin and mucous membranes, and hair loss. Hoffman LaRoche
was faulted by FDA for purposely omitting women, and particularly pregnant
women, from the studies on which it based requests for approval of Accutane. The
company was aware that Accutane caused serious effects when taken during
pregnancy. Hard on the heels of the Accutane revelations, Hoffman LaRoche made
new headlines in the Wall Street Journal with Congressman Ted Weiss's demand,
reported on May 6, 1988, that a criminal investigation be launched of the forty
deaths, recorded since 1986, caused by taking Versed, Hoffman LaRoche's
tranquilizer which is a chemical cousin of its best selling drug, Valium.
The No. 4 drug firm, Smith Kline Beckman, banks with the Mellon Bank. Its
chairman, Robert F. Dee, is a director of General Foods, Air Products and
Chemical and the defense firm, United Technologies, which interlocks with
Citibank. Directors are Samuel H. Ballam, Jr., chairman of the Hospital of the
University of Pennsylvania, director of American WaterWorks, Westmoreland Coal
Company, General Coal Company, INA Investment Securities, chairman of CIGNA's
High Yield Fund, and Geothermal Resources International; Francis P. Lucier,
chairman of Black & Decker; Donald P. McHenry former U.S. Ambassador to the UN,
1979-81, now international advisor to the Council on Foreign Relations, Trustee
of Brookings Institution and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace,
Ford Foundation, and the super- secret Ditchley Foundation set up by W. Averell
Harriman during World War II; McHenry is also a director of Coca Cola and
International Paper; Carolyn K. Davis, who was dean of the school of nurses at
University of Michigan 1973-75, Health and Human Services since 1981; she is
also a director of Johns Hopkins. Other directors of Smith Kline are Andrew L.
Lewis, Jr. chairman of Union Pacific, the basis of the Harriman fortune; he is
director of Ford Motor, trustee in bankruptcy Reading Company, former chairman
of Reagan's transition team and deputy director of the Republican National
Committee; R. Gordon McGovern, chairman of Campbell Soup; Ralph A. Pfeiffer,
Jr., chairman of IBM World Trade Corporation, American International Far East
Corporation, Riggs National Bank, and chairman U.S.-China Trade Commission; he
is also vice chairman of the key foreign policy operation, Center for Strategic
and International Studies, which was founded by Jeane Kirkpatrick's husband,
Evron Kirkpatrick of the CIA.
The world's No. 5 drug firm, Ciba-Geigy of Switzerland, does a billion dollar a
year business in the United States, and operates ten drug factories here.
Pfizer,
No. 6 in size of the world's drug firms, Pfizer
, does $4 billion a year, according to Standard & Poor's; the company banks with
Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank. Pfizer's chairman, Edmund T. Pratt, Jr., was
controller of IBM from 1949 to 1962; he is now a director of Chase Manhattan
Bank, General Motors, International Paper, the Business Council and the Business
Roundtable, two Establishment organizations; he is also chairman of the
Emergency Committee for American Trade. Pfizer's president is Gerald Laubach,
who joined Pfizer in 1950; he is a member of the council of Rockefeller
University, and director of CIGNA, Loctite, and General Insurance Corporation;
Barber Conable is director of Pfizer; he was a Congressman representing New York
from 1965 to 1985, which would indicate a close Rockefeller connection; Conable
is now president of the World Bank. Other directors of Pfizer are Joseph B.
Flavin, chief operating officer of the 2 1/2 billion a year Singer Company.
Flavin was with IBM World Trade Corporation from 1953-1967, then president of
Xerox; he is now with the Committee for Economic Development, Stamford Hospital,
Cancer Research Foundation, and the National Council of Christians and Jews;
Howard C. Kauffman, has been president of EXXON since 1975; he was previously

post; Lynn was editor of the Harvard Law Review, then joined Jones,Day, Reavis
and Pogue in 1960 (a large Washington lobbying firm); Lynn accompanied Peter
Peterson, then Secretary of Commerce, formerly chairman of Kuhn, Loeb Company,
to Moscow in 1972, to conclude a trade agreement with the Soviets; this
agreement was concluded in October, 1972; John R. Opel, president of IBM,
director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Time and the Institute for
Advanced Study; Walter B. Wriston, chairman of Citicorp, director of General
Electric, Chubb, New York Hospital, Rand Corporation and J. C. Penney. Other
directors of Pfizer are Grace J. Fippinger, secretary-treasurer of the $10
billion a year NYNEX Corporation; she is an adviser to Manufacturers Hanover,
the Rothschild Bank, director of Bear Stearns investment bankers, Gulf & Western
Corporation, Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance and honorary member of the board

million Revson Foundation (cosmetics fortune), with Simon Ritkind and Benjamin
Buttenweiser, whose wife was attorney for Alger Hiss while Buttenweiser was
Assistant High Commissioner for occupied West Germany. Of the major drug firms,
none shows more direct connection with the Rockefeller interests than Pfizer,
which banks with the Rockefeller bank, Chase Manhattan, has as director Howard
Kaufmann, president of Exxon, and Paul Marks of the Rockefeller controlled Sloan
Kettering Cancer Center and Rockefeller Hospital. In most cases, only one
Rockefeller connection is needed to assure control of a corporation.
The No. 7 in world ranked drug firms is Hoechst A. G. of Germany, a spinoff
from I.G. Farben
, i.e., Rockefeller Warburg Rothschild control. It operates a number of plants
in the U.S., including American Hoechst at Somerville, New Jersey, and Hoechst
Fibers Company. Hoechst manufactures the widely used polyester fiber Trevira,
antibiotic food additives for swine and broilers (Flavomycin), and other
pharmaceuticals used in animal raising.
No. 8 in world ranking, American Home Products banks at the Rothschild Bank,
Manufacturers Hanover, and does $3.8 billion a year ($4.93 according to Standard
& Poor's). It became even larger by its recent purchase of A.H. Robins Drug
Company of Richmond, VA. A.H. Robins had gone into bankuptcy after facing $2.5
billion in payments to some 200,000 women who had been injured by its Dalkon
Shield, an intrauterine device. An inadequately tested vagina clamp caused
severe damage to many women. A French firm, Sanofi, then attempted to buy the
firm, but was beaten out when American Home decided to pay a premium price for
the firm's well known brand names, Chapstick and Robitussin. American Home's CEO
is John W. Culligan, who has been with the firm since 1937; he is a Knight of
Malta, director of Mellon Bank, Carnegie Mellon University, American Standard,
and Valley Hospital; president of American Home is John R. Stafford, director of

International Paper; Robert W. Sarnoff, son of David Sarnoff, who founded the
RCA empire; and William Wrigley, chairman of the Wrigley Corporation, director

No. 9 in world ranking is Eli Lilly Company, whose chairman Richard D. Wood is
also director of Standard Oil of Indiana, Chemical Bank New York, Elizabeth
Arden, IVAC Corporation, Cardiac Pacemakers Inc. , Elanco Products, Dow Jones,
Lilly Endowment, Physio-Control Corporation, and the American Enterprise
Institute for Public Policy Research, a supposedly rightwing thinktank in
Washington where Jeane Kirkpatrick reigns supreme. Directors of Lilly are Steven
C. Beering, born in Berlin, Germany, now president of Purdue University;
heserved on numerous medical boards, Diabetes Association, Endocrine Association
and is a director of Arvin Industries; Randall H. Tobias, is a director of the
Bretton Woods Committee, has been with Bell Telephone Labs since 1964, now

engaged in a number of deaIs with the Soviet Union, Putnams Funds, a New England
powerhouse investment firm; other directors of Lilly are J. Clayton LaForce, a
Fulbright scholar, now director of the Rockefeller-funded National Bureau for
Economic Research, and is dean of the graduate school of management at the
University of California. LaForce is an influential member of the secretive Mont
Pelerin Society, which represents the Viennese school of economics, a Rothschild
sponsored enterprise which features Milton Friedman as its mouthpiece-it is
actually a pseudo-rightwing think- tank run by William Buckley and the CIA.
LaForce is also a trustee of the pseudo rightwing thinktank, Hoover Institution
of Stanford University, which is run by two directors of the Rockefeller-funded
League for Industrial Democracy, the leading Trotskyite thinktank; Sidney Hook
and Seymour Martin Lipset. Other directors of Lilly are J. Paul Lyet II,
chairman of the giant defense firm Sperry Corporation-two-thirds of its
contracts are with government agencies; Lyet is also a director of Eastman
Kodak, which has just purchased Sterling Drug; he is also a director of
Armstrong World Industries NL Industries and the Continental Group; Alva Otis
Way III, president of American Express, director of Schroder Bank and Trust,
formerly chairman-also director of Shearson Lehman, which now incorporates Kuhn,
Loeb Company and Lehman Brothers, director of Firemans Fund Insurance Company
and American International Banking Corporation, Warnex Ampex Communications
Corporation; C. William Verity, Jr., whose father founded Armco Steel; a Yale
graduate, Verity is now chairman of Armco; he was recently appointed Secretary
of Commerce to replace fellow Yale man Malcolm Baldridge a director of the
defense firmScovill Manufacturing-Baldridge had fallen off of a horse. Verity is
also a director of Chase Manhattan Bank, Mead Corporation and Taft Broadcasting,
Verity was chosen as Secretary of Commerce because of his longtime record of
agitation on behalf of the super-secret group, the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade &
Economic Council, also known as USTEC , whose records are classified as Top
Secret-several lawsuits are now under way to force the government to release
USTEC documents under the Freedom of Information Act, but so far government
attorneys have fought off all attempts to find out what this group is doing.
Supposedly a cordial group of well-meaning American businessmen meeting with
their smiling Soviet counterparts, USTEC was the brainchild of a top KGB
official, who promoted it at the 1973 summit meeting between President Nixon and
Brezhnev. The go-between was Donald Kendall of Pepsicola, who had just concluded
a major trade deal with Russia; part of the price was Kendall's selling USTEC to
the White House Team. Without Kendall, USTEC might never have gotten off the
ground. The real goal of USTEC was voiced by H. Rowan Gaither head of the Ford
Foundation, when he was interviewed by foundation investigator, Norman Dodd.
Gaither complained about the bad press the Ford Foundation was receiving,
claiming it was unjustified. "Most of us here," he exclaimed in
self-exculpation, "were at one time or another, active in either the OSS or the
State Department, or the European Economic Administration. During those times,
and withoutexception, we operated under directives issued from the White House,
the substance of which was to the effect that we should make every effort to
alter life in the United States so as to make possible a comfortable merger with
the Soviet Union." [ Don's note: Better read that last sentence a few times! ]
USTEC is an important step in the merger program.
Alva Way
, president of American Express serves on the board of Eli Lilly with C. William
Verity. Way's fellow executive, James D. Robinson III, who is chairman of
American Express, is a prime mover in USTEC, as is Robert Roosa, partner in
Brown Brothers Harriman investment banking firm, who is executive officer of the
Trilateral Commission. Other important USTEC members are Edgar Bronfman, head of
the World Zionist Congress, chairman of Seagrams, the Bronfman family firm, and
controlling a sizeable part of DuPont's stock, 21%; Maurice Greenberg, chairman
of American International Group; Dr. Armand Hammer, longtime friend of the
Soviet Union, and Dwayne Andreas, grain tycoon who is head of
Archer-Daniels-Midland Corporation. Andreas, who financed CREEP, the
organization which brought about the resignation of Richard Nixon from the
presidency of the United States, has on his board Robert Strauss, former
chairman of theDemocratic National Committee, and Mrs. Nelson Rockefeller. In
1972, a meeting was called in Washington at the ultra-exclusive F. Street Club,
which had long been the secret meeting pIace for the top wheelers and dealers in
Washington. Donald Kendall had invited David Rockefeller, who had opened a
branch of Chase Manhattan in
Red Square, Moscow
, Helmut Sonnenfeldt of the State Department, who reputedly had been Henry
Kissinger's "control" when Kissinger came tothe United States as a double agent
under Sonnenfeidt's patronage, and Georgi Arbatov, the well known Soviet
propagandist in the United States. Arbatov told the group who Soviet Russia
wanted on the board of the prospective organization, which became USTEC. He
wanted Dr. Armand Hammer, Reginald Jones of General Electric, Frank Cary of
IBM;and Irving Shapiro, head of DuPont. USTEC's ostensible purpose was to
promote trade between the U.S. and Russia; its real purpose was to rescue the
floundering Soviet economy and save its leaders from a disastrous revolution.
The U.S. offered high technology, grain and military goods; the Russians offered
to continue the Communist system.
The world's tenth largest drug firm is Upjohn, which is heavily into the
production of agricultural chemicals such as Asgrow. Upjohn has now been taken
over by the leading defense firm, Todd Shipyards, whose directors include Harold

The 11th largest drug firm, E.E. Squibb, has as chairman Richard E. Furlaud; he
is a director of the leading munitions firm Olin Corporation, and was general
counsel for Olin from 1957-1966. Furlaud was an attorney with the prominent Wall

Root, Wilson's Secretary of State, who rushed $100 million from Wilson's
personal War Fund to Soviet Russia to save the tottering Bolshevik regime in
1917, Furlaud is a trustee of Rockefeller University and the Sloan Kettering

annual expenditure of $344 million, mostly in television and advertising; this
gives them a great deal of clout in dictating the content of programs.
Bristol-Myers is now pushing its new tranquilizer, Buspar and its new anti-
cholesterol drug, Questran, which it expects to gross at least $100 million a
year each. The track record for anti-cholesterol drugs has revealed some

consequences.

Number sixteen in world ranking is Bayer A.G. of Germany, one of the three
spin-offs from I.G. Farben cartel after World War II. Set up under orders from
the Allied Military Government, which was then dominated by General William
Draper of Dillon Read investment bankers, Bayer is now larger than the original
I.G. Farben. In 1977, Bayer bought Miles laboratories and Germaine Monteil
Perfumes, in 1981, it bought Agfa Gevaert, another spinoff of American I.G.
Farben, and in 1983 it bought Cutter Laboratories, a California firm which was
famed as having been set up to protect the Rockefeller controlled drug firms in
the great polio immunization wars. All of the faulty polio vaccine was said to
have been produced by Cutter, freeing the Rockefeller firms from the threat of
lawsuits. During the 1930s, Bayer operated Sterling Drug and Winthrop chemical
companies in the United States as subsidiaries of the giant I.G. Farben cartel.
Winthrop Chemical's president was George G. Klumpp, who had married into the
J.P. Morgan family. Klumpp was chief of the drug division of the Food and Drug

agribusiness. Its founder-chairman, George Rosencrantz of Budapest, gives his
present address as 1730 Parque Via Reforma, Mexico DF 10; he left the country

Syntex is Albert Bowers, born in Manchester, England, a Fulbright fellow and

was rumored for years to be the investment arm of Meyer Lansky's five hundred

Yugoslavia 1969-1972, was appointed Under Secretary for Monetary Affairs to the

key money market bank, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, when David

Governors in 1980. Solomon is also a director of Banca Commerciale Italiane.
Syntex is remembered for the mercurial rise in its stock when it began to dump
vast amounts of condemned drugs in backward overseas countries. Its profits
skyrocketed, as did its stock.
Number eighteen in world ranking is the former empire of Elmer Bobst,
Warner-Lambert. It is the number nineteen advertiser in the United States,
spending $469 million a year. Chairman of Warner-Lambert is Joseph D. Williams,
who is also director of Warner-Lambert subsidiary, Parke-Davis, whose
acquisition went through only because Bobst had secured the presidency for his
friend Richard Nixon. Williams is also a director of AT&T, J.C. Penney, Western
Electric, Excello and Columbia University. He is chairman of the People to

Foundation ($30 million). She is also director of Irving Bank, the American
Council on Germany, ruling group of West Germany, Edmund A. Walsh School of
Foreign Service, and Georgetown Center for Strategic and International Studies,
all of which are the CIA preserves of veterans Evron and Jeane Kirkpatrick. She
is also director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center and the Order of St.
John of Jerusalem. Thus we find that Martha T. Muse is a veritable directory of
top secret CIA worldwide operations. The Tinker Foundation, like the Jacob
Kaplan Fund, is one of the super secret organizations which funnels money to the
CIA for covert activities too bizarre to be submitted to any government
operations center. The secretary of the Tinker Foundation is Raymond L.
Brittenham, who was born in Moscow, educated at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in
Berlin. He was general counsel for ITT, whose German operations were headed by
Baron Kurt von Schroder, personal banker to Adolf Hitler. Brittenham was senior

Lycee Francais, trustee of Money Shares, High Income Shares and the Hoover
front, the Belgian-American Educational Foundation. Kirk is also recipient of
the Order of the British Empire, St. John of Jerusalem, and is Commander of the
Order of Orange-Nassau. When Hoffman LaRoche made a strong bid for Sterling Drug
in 1987, its cause was advanced by Lewis Preston, head of the J.P. Morgan
empire, who was also banker for Sterling Drug. Publicity about his role caused
his retirement for J.P. Morgan Company. Sterling was then bought by Eastman
Kodak through funding from the Rockefellers. Kodak banks at Chase Lincoln First
Bank, which is wholly owned by Chase Manhattan Bank. Kodak does $10 biIlion a
year; its chairman is C. Kay Whitmore, who is a director of Chase Manhattan Bank

President Jimmy Carter's Secretary of Commerce; she is now director of RJR
Industries and the New York Stock Exchange; she received the Stephen S. Wise
award. Also on the board of Sterling are John G. Smale, chairman of Proctor and
Gamble, director of General Motors; and Richard Mahoney, chairman of Monsanto
Chemical Company. Because they are active in similar chemical formulations the
leading chemical firms are also closely interlocked with the major drug
producing firms. Richard Mahoney, director of Sterling Drug, is chairman of
Monsanto Chemical, a $7 billion a year firm. Mahoney claims he is seeking a
twenty per cent return on equity for Monsanto this year. He is also director of
Metropolitan Life lnsurance Company, Centerre Bancorp, G. D. Searle. President
