Why the Institutions of Western Finance and Western Medicine are Both
Doomed to Fail
by Mike Adams (see all articles by this author)

(NaturalNews) Here at NaturalNews, we've been publicly predicting the
fall of Western Medicine for nearly five years. During that time,
we've also covered the increasingly precarious financial situation,
warning readers in 2005 and 2006 about the impending housing bubble
crash and the implications for the entire financial system.

In covering these two topics (western medicine and western finance),
I've come to recognize many strong parallels between the two. This
article explores the common threads of deception that characterize
these two powerful institutions.


#1 They're both based on fraud and deception
Both Western Finance and Western Medicine are fundamentally based on
fraud. The fraud of Western Finance is that you can create money from
nothing and everybody can get rich by selling each other fictitious
financial instruments that have no connection to reality. The fraud of
Western Medicine is that everybody can get healthy by taking
fictitious patented chemicals (pharmaceuticals) rather than addressing
fundamental issues of nutrition, exercise and exposure to consumer
chemicals.

Western Finance's fraud is committed by high-brow academics who
contrive complicated derivative financial instruments that are then
presented to the investment community as things of real value (which
they are not). Western Medicine's fraud is committed by high-ego
medical researchers who selectively massage clinical trial data to
create fictitious "scientific" results that are then presented to the
FDA as fact. The FDA then "approves" such drugs which are sold to the
public as medicines that treat "disease" (which are also fictitious,
by the way; being voted into existence by a panel of experts who
benefit from such disease definitions).

Both the financial instruments and FDA-approved medications are
fraudulent to begin with, and they offer nothing of real, lasting
value to anyone. They're both sold simply for momentary profits,
without any regard for the health or the wealth of the People.


#2 When problems arise, they both treat symptoms rather than solving
the causes
The $700 billion financial bailout created in Washington is a classic
example of Western Medicine's "treat the symptoms" mentality. Rather
than address the root cause of the problem (the Fed's control over the
money supply and the very structure of fractional-reserve banking),
politicians seem satisfied to rig up a series of financial bandages
that allow them to pretend the problem has been solved.

In Western Medicine, this "treat the symptoms" approach is the de
facto treatment philosophy taught in medical school: Ignore the real
cause, don't bother educating patients about diet or exercise, and
simply prescribe pharmaceuticals to mask the problem for as long as
possible.

In both cases, the patient inevitably gets sicker: The financial
situation festers and grows like an unchecked cancer tumor, and while
stop-gap measures can create the illusion of a healthy patient, these
actions inevitably contribute to far greater crisis down the road,
where the patient eventually crashes and dies.

The financial sickness now infecting banks, lenders and insurance
companies across the globe is an unchecked pandemic of infectious
debt. But rather than addressing the cause of the infections, the
financial industry seems satisfied to refinance the disease carriers
so they can rise up, coughing and sputtering as they pass along the
disease to anyone within breathing distance.


#3 They both enrich powerful corporations while impoverishing the
People
The key agenda of both the financial and health industries is to
enrich wealthy corporations at the expense of the public. In Western
Finance, this is being done by privatizing the financial gains while
socializing the financial losses. In other words, all the profits go
to the wealthy elite while all the losses are passed along to
taxpayers (this is the fundamental point of the $700 billion bailout,
of course).

In Western Medicine, virtually every regulatory policy in effect today
is constructed to enrich corporations. The FDA's censorship of true
health claims on nutritional supplements, the FTC's crackdown on anti-
cancer herbal remedies, the DEA's raids on medical marijuana... these
campaigns are all conducted solely to protect the profits of the
pharmaceutical companies at the expense of public health.

Think about it: Monopoly pricing on pharmaceuticals sold in the USA is
enforced by the FDA and FTC. Approvals of drugs based on outright
fraudulent science is openly granted by the FDA. Raids against vitamin
companies, supplement companies and natural product retailers are
organized and conducted by both the FTC and FDA, two regulatory bodies
that engage in outright extortion, threatening natural health
companies with bankruptcy and criminal charges if they don't pay
outrageous fines based on fabricated accusations of things like
"linking to a scientific journal from your website" (which is now a
crime in the U.S. if you sell nutritional products).

These are all the actions of governmental tyrants who act solely as
Big Business street thugs, wiping out the competition to protect the
profits of their (mob) bosses.


#4 They're both based on arrogance and the worship of money
Arrogance runs high in Western Medicine, where clever men at the top
of the pharmaceutical companies think they've outsmarted mother nature
by brainwashing consumers into thinking the human body is born with
deficiencies of patented synthetic chemicals. This same arrogance is
woven directly into the fabric of Wall Street, where greed-based
financial players convince themselves they're so brilliant that the
mere idea of how to make money is now recorded as a bankable asset on
the balance sheets (that's the Enron style of accounting, which has
now infected all of Wall Street).

The arrogance in both these industries is astounding. Neither Western
Finance nor Western Medicine believes there is such a thing as a
reality that shall ever hold them accountable. They don't believe in
gold, or real food, or cause and effect. Things are things because
they say they are, and nothing is subject to economic reality,
scientific scrutiny or real-world common sense.

These two industries have been living in the Twilight Zone for so
long, they've completely lost touch with reality. In fact, they no
longer have any familiarity with reality. Doctors, for example, have
no knowledge of nutrition or superfoods. They are nutritionally
illiterate the day they graduate from medical school. Similarly,
bankers are almost universally ignorant of the basic laws of
economics. Few understand how fractional-reserve banking really works,
nor do they grasp the correlations between increases in the money
supply and inflation.

Bankers and doctors, it could be accurately stated, have almost no
knowledge about the very things over which they have been granted
authority.

(For the record, yes I know there are many exceptions to this. Lots of
well-educated bankers and doctors break out of the box of ignorance by
learning, on their own, those things not taught to them in the land of
academia.)


#5 They both seek instant profits at the expense of future generations
Western financial institutions are famous for their focus on the next
fiscal quarter. If it doesn't create a profit in the next 90 days,
it's not considered a worthwhile investment. This "instant profit"
mentality inevitably leads to an abandonment of virtues like saving
money or honoring future generations. Instead of leaving our children
with equity, the United States of America (and its financial co-
conspirators) have burdened future generations with an impossible debt
burden.

Pharmaceutical companies think much the same way. Rather than
uplifting the health of the nation with sound prenatal nutrition
policies (and infant health programs based on disease prevention), it
seeks to vaccinate and medicate every living being with a never-ending
parade of high-profit pharmaceuticals... from birth to death. There is
no attention paid to the environmental effects of flushing all those
drugs down the drain (pharmaceuticals are now found in the drinking
water of over 50 American cities), nor is there any attempt to
actually prevent cancer (or other diseases) in any way whatsoever.

Instead, Western Medicine prefers to wait until people get sick so it
can cash in on their disease. Similarly, Western Finance prefers to
hide its problems, expanding its debt base until it gets too big to
fail, at which point someone has to come along and bail it out.

Neither industry operates with any degree of accountability.


#6 Both are run by unindicted criminals
If I break into your house and steal your wallet, I would be
considered a criminal. But when Congress breaks into your finances and
steals your life savings, they consider themselves to be heroes!

Make no mistake: Both the Western Finance and Western Medical
industries are run by unindicted criminals who steal, lie, and deceive
their way to the greatest profits possible. Drug companies routinely
bury studies they don't want you to see, and FDA leaders routinely
stack their decision boards with "experts" who maintain direct
financial ties to the companies selling the pharmaceuticals they're
voting to approve.

Meanwhile, top bankers are shelling out hundreds of millions of
dollars in favors to Washington politicians in order to avoid any
reduction in their multi-million dollar salaries, even while the
financial institutions they led are about to be bailed out by taxpayer
money. What all this has in common is that the top CEOs, politicians
and regulatory decision makers are unindicted criminals who are guilty
of various crimes against the People: Theft, conspiracy, racketeering
and much more.

If these people were held up to the same laws applied to you and me,
they'd all be arrested and spend their lives in prison (or worse).


#7 Both are doomed to collapse
The final parallel between Western Finance and Western Medicine?
They're both doomed to collapse.

That very idea was considered absolutely loony just 30 days ago. But
I've stuck to this prediction for five years: Western medicine is
doomed to collapse. And now, all of a sudden, more people are waking
up and seeing their fictional world crumbling around them. The near-
collapse of the global financial system, it seems, has rudely awakened
a few people who were sleepwalking through life, intoxicated by
visions of free riches, free pharmaceuticals and life in the land of
zero accountability.

Reality, though, is a stubborn thing. You can daydream all you want,
but the laws of economics cannot be violated any more so than the laws
of human physiology. When there's a poison in the system (biologically
or financially speaking), something must be done to eliminate the
poison and bolster the health of the patient. Sadly, Washington
remains in the business of denying the problem, which makes it all the
more difficult to try to solve it.

Interestingly, the collapse of Western Finance is inevitably linked to
the collapse of Western Medicine. How so? Because Big Pharma is almost
entirely dependent on the government to protect and feed itself.
Without Big Government creating an artificial monopoly market where
competing natural products are censored or outlawed, Big Pharma could
not compete!

Nobody would buy arthritis drugs if they knew cherry extracts or
potent fish oils could solve the problem more safely and affordably.
No one would buy high-profit cholesterol drugs if they learned the
truth about red yeast rice, aged garlic or policosanol.

Big Pharma is entirely dependent on the government to prop up its
business, and when the U.S. government goes operationally bankrupt
(which is coming), Big Pharma may suddenly find itself competing in a
free marketplace where it no longer has the tools of oppression,
censorship and tyranny to bludgeon the competition into irrelevancy.
When Big Government goes, Big Pharma will follow, and the collapse of
Western Finance is thus a precursor to the collapse of Western
Medicine.

Both institutions, of course, will attempt to claw their way back to
power, even as they are crumbling. They won't go without a fight, and
they may be able to put in place clever tactics that delay their
demise by years. But in the end, no nation has a future when its
finance -- and its medicine -- are based on fraud.

Think about that. It's a powerful realization. The U.S. simply cannot
continue the way it's running today. With 50% of the population on
pharmaceuticals, and children being drugged with Speed (ADHD drugs),
and mandatory vaccines poisoning (and killing) young girls, there is
no future unless something changes.

With junk foods and energy drinks intoxicating our youth, and
dangerous chemicals running rampant through the personal care product
industry, and foods being irradiated to destroy their nutritional
content, there is no future.

With banks stealing money from the working taxpayers, and $10 trillion
national debt knocking on our door, and the government taking
ownership of more than 50% of the national economy, there is no
future!


The real world will be a shock to many
The end of these systems is now in sight. They are crumbling under
their own arrogance and stupidity, revealing a society based on self-
righteous deception and global scandal. Everything we thought was real
turns out to be fabricated: The money, the medicine, the economy, the
law... it's all being revealed for what it is: A Matrix of
enslavement, designed to keep the People believing they live in a free
society, even as their health and wealth are stolen from them by the
sinister few who wield political power.

Western Finance will fall, and Western Medicine will soon end its
reign of terror over the people. We will live to see the end of the
FDA as we know it; the end of the AMA, the cancer industry and the
dominance of the drug companies. We may lose our savings and we may
even lose our nation, but we will not lose the one thing that matters
most in this cold, dark universe: Our sense of connection with life,
nature and each other.

Because when all the fictions fall apart, and the facade of the
American Empire crumbles like the twin towers on 9/11, when it's all
said and done, we still have one thing we can count on: Mother Nature.

Nature will still be there. The trees, the gardens, the herbs... these
things are real. The water, the oceans, the honeybees... these are the
things that bring us real wealth.

Wealth is not a collection of digits in a computer. It isn't a promise
printed on green paper money. Real wealth is a garden that feeds you,
a river that hydrates you, and a system of medicine that nourishes and
supports you. Real wealth is a day with sunshine, a night under the
stars and a life lived with purpose.

Real wealth is not fleeting, nor subject to cascading collapse. It is
as real as the morning dew on a cabbage plant, or the sweet taste of
fresh blueberry juice, or the buzz of ten thousand honeybees
pollinating an orchard.

These are the things Western society has forgotten, and in that
forgetfulness, it has suffered a dangerous, multi-generational
amnesia ... a disease of delusion, if you will, that is about to
collide head-on with reality.

The awakening will be rude. Some will embrace reality and thrive in
the Next Society. Others will deny reality and suffer.

As we watch all of this unfold, I invite you to join me in the real
world; to eat real food, to experience real (natural) medicine and to
make real, lasting contributions to the future of life on Earth. As
fictional constructs fall to the ground around us, we are all being
granted front-row seats to one of the most amazing transformations in
the history of life on Earth: We are about to watch one civilization
end, and another civilization emerge from the ruin.

We are, indeed, watching history unfold before our eyes. And you know
what? We are all fortunate enough to participate in it! Don't miss
this. Stay confident. Help those you can, and prepare yourself for the
transition. The next few years are going to be the most interesting
we'll see in our lifetimes.

Technical comments: While the outcome of Western Finance and Western
Medicine are not in doubt, the timing of their demise is uncertain.
The financial system could break and collapse in weeks, or it could
possibly limp along in a severe recession for decades (a la Japan,
circa 1989), depending on the actions of foreign central banks and the
Federal Reserve.

Western Medicine will likely take many years to unravel and be
replaced by a new system based on reality. But a collapse of the U.S.
government would accelerate that shift by taking the FDA out of the
equation. Without the FDA to enforce Big Pharma's monopolistic,
racketeering practices, natural products would quickly take over the
free market and Big Pharma would quickly shrink. Remember this: FDA
employees are only one paycheck away from complete disloyalty. The
entire U.S. government is held together by a long supply line of
fragile paychecks. The whole system could unravel in less than 30 days
if foreign nations stop buying U.S. debt.
