PART THREE of the plan, was a propaganda gambit. It was in two parts (a) create a so-called "information base." Websites appeared, sounding authoritative, like Stephen Barrett's sleazy "quackwatch.com," and others. The questionable organization, the National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF), was to provide so-called "expert witnesses" for testimony. The FSMB was to act as a clearinghouse, both for names of people suggested for prosecution (persecution), and for where to find "information" and "expert witnesses."
It seems the site was set up to demonize proponents of alternative medicines, in order to keep the money flowing to big pharmaceutical companies. Eye opener  - If the Bolen report has their facts right |
Pretty crazy stuff eh? I was shocked when I read it too. I never really believed those Quackwatch people anyways, but I thought they were just skeptics with time on their hands, but I never thought the pharmecuticals would be funding it with major cash. Definitely an eye opener.
The power of this type of "black-ops" is that it's so easy to instill doubt in people, and when you instill doubt, people stick with what they know which is not good. You can have a totally legit natural alternative that has saved 20,000 people's lives, totally scientifically proven, and all it takes is one fake story from someone who says "Oh yeah, I know someone who followed that plan when they were pregnant and they ended up losing the baby." and people will stay away from it, even if the story is totally false, just in case. It's crazy.
