A.G. Eric Holder's Connection To Pharma Inc.

One of the many things I learned from Ellen H. Brown's book  THE WEB OF DEBT is that the criminal banking empire has deep roots and if we don't address the problem of greed, that ultimately consumes even the greedy, we will continue to have an Attorney General with ties to greedy pharmaceutical companies.  AG Eric Holder appears to be shutting down the medical marijuana dispensaries to make way for his friends at Merck with their high priced THC pills, Dronabinol of course with toxins thrown in for expanded customer base.  

Bankers control of the government is nothing new.  The same president that ended alcohol prohibition started hemp prohibition in 1937? That does not even read right.  Yep, FDR was president in 1937 too. Suddenly I'm questioning even his death. Seizure or bullet...not that anyone would kill a president for challenging the powers behind the throne called the White House.  Yet, the bankers that Ellen H. Brown describes in her book are behind the current War On Drugs that throws almost a million people a year in jail, shattering lives, families and cumulatively entire communities into submission rather than solutions to our problems.

On Time4Hemp it was mentioned that Atty. General Eric Holder, the man who is persecuting legal medical marijuana dispensaries, worked for Pharma, Inc, big medicine.  It was further stated that Big Pharma is behind the attorney general's recent attack on legal medical marijuana dispensaries.

I was floored.  Surely he could not be that bold.  So I got to researching.

Here's what the attorney general said when he was getting into office comfortably.

2-26-09 "Attorney General Eric Holder said at a press conference Wednesday that the Justice Department will no longer raid medical marijuana clubs that are established legally under state law. His declaration is a fulfillment of a campaign promise by President Barack Obama, and marks a major shift from the previous administration.”

I had to make sure I heard him right.  So then I checked out bios and sites and there was no mention of Medicine, Inc connection at the time "the New Team" went into office.

Relevant Experience (did not reveal the connection)

“Right out of law school, Holder worked for the Public Integrity Section of the U.S. Department of Justice from 1976 to 1988. From 1988 to 1993, Holder served as a Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia through an appointment by President Ronald Reagan. In 1993, he accepted an appointment by President Bill Clinton as a U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. In 1997, President Clinton promoted Holder to the position of Deputy Attorney General, which he held until nominated as Attorney General by President Obama.”

Then I found he was a partner in a law firm that represented MERCK

"In recent years, Mr. Holder has worked as a partner at Covington and Burling, representing big-name clients like the National Football League, Chiquita Brands International and Merck."

This Merck: http://www.merck.com/index.html

Of course they are researching medical marijuana.

"Dronabinol (Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol [THC]) is an alternative treatment for nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. THC is the principal psychoactive component of marijuana. Its mechanism of antiemetic action is unknown, but cannabinoids bind to opioid receptors in the forebrain and may indirectly inhibit the vomiting center. Dronabinol is administered in doses of 5 mg/m2 po 1 to 3 h before chemotherapy, with repeated doses q 2 to 4 h after the start of chemotherapy (maximum of 4 to 6 doses/day). However, it has variable oral bioavailability, is not effective for inhibiting the nausea and vomiting of platinum-based chemotherapy regimens, and has significant adverse effects (eg, drowsiness, orthostatic hypotension, dry mouth, mood changes, visual and time sense alterations). Smoking marijuana may be more effective. Marijuana for this purpose can be obtained legally in some states. It is used less commonly because of barriers to availability and because many patients cannot tolerate smoking."

Here's a few links, check out the side effects of Dronabinol with the background that there are zero deaths from marijuana in over 5,000 years of documented use.  When you visit the pages check out that synthetic version of marijuana's side effects, like seizures.

And here's the best part, following the money.  Here's a pricing structure for Dronabinol 

http://www.drugstore.com/dronabinol/marinol/5mg-capsules/qxn49884086802

 60 capsules $679.93   

 100 capsules $1,133.21   

 180 capsules $1,799.82   

 240 capsules $2,399.76   

 300 capsules $2,999.70   

 360 capsules $3,599.64  

WTF!!! So, the attorney general, one of supporting souls of Fast and Furious, who is persecuting the medical marijuana clubs that are threatening traditional medicine with the $1.7 billion business, is engaged in a conflict of interest.  He is persecuting natural medicine in the name of making a way for corporate greed. 

One more reason to Occupy Wall Street. It's time to do the right thing and investigate government corruption in all its forms.


For the 411 on effective medical marijuana I urge you to read HEMP FOR VICTORY, THE WONDER HERB by Richard M. Davis, USA Hemp Museum.  It's chapter and verse of what you need to know to just say no to the truly stupid and yes to living a healthy, hemped lifestyle.
