Chapter One

Pharmaceuticals

Feb 2010

2:20 P.M. Saturday afternoon was finally here and James stopped his car at the curb in front of Ronnie's place, his host and best friend, for this beautiful sunny afternoon. The temperature was just perfect for a day of swimming and barbequing. The day promised to be enjoyable, socializing with his other friends who should arrive shortly.

As James got out of his car his other friend Martin and his wife Shelly drove up in the old Chevy with the fish symbol on its trunk lid, for Martin was the religious one of the group. As Martin shut the car engine off it sputtered and coughed. "Hey, Martin" yelled James, "give your car a tune-up and that won't happen any more". To which Martin retorted "God will take care of it, I have faith".

They both walked along the side of Ronnie's place and saw him talking to Richie and Hank who were sitting at the table under a fully grown Maple tree. Malcolm and Jeff were all ready in the pool with Malcolm's wife and their two children. Ronny turned and saw them saying "well were all here, lets all have a drink to celebrate our first get together of the summer".

Ronny was the most read and educated of this whole group, and also the wealthiest, but was very down to earth. All his friends gathered here today respected him very much. Ronny did not flaunt his wealth or knowledge and often helped with advise or funds without asking for anything in return. He himself nor did any of the friends have any idea that this beautiful day would be the beginning of something that would change their lives.

Ronnie's life mate Catherine followed by Jen, Jeff's girlfriend stepped out the sliding door and onto the deck. Both were carrying large plates full of snacks, and Catherine called out, "hey every one, here are some snacks to munch on till we start the barbeque". Ronny ran up on to the deck to help, and when finished he in turn and yelled for all to hear, "bars open".

The bar was well stocked with both spirits and assorted beers, for Ronny knew that his friends did not all have the same tastes. As James approached the bar he nodded to Ronny saying, "Your house is not only spacious and gorgeous your bar is also a livable space, I like it". "Thank you very much, James," replied Ronny. "What's your poison?" "I'll have a scotch on the rocks," James replied. This time the others were at the bar placing their orders. Soon the small talk started and the day moved on quite nicely.

"Well, That was one heck of a meal Catherine", Malcolm exclaimed after emitting a loud audible belch and then with a smile excused himself as he pulled his hand from his mouth. Catherine smiled and said, "thank you, I can tell you enjoyed it", as she placed the last dish on the tray to return to the house. Grace leaned over and reprimanded him for such an ignorant display.

Grace was Malcolm's wife for fifteen years whose two children were also obese. Grace and her family were well aware of this and felt uncomfortable in public. Yet they felt accepted at Ronnie's place. They had both agreed that one day they would try and find a way to loose weight.

Ronny and Catherine we're the couple with perfect health, minds and money. They were both aware of the problems of their guests and had decided to help them in any way they could. Their patience was to finally pay off this day.

Just then James stepped onto the deck saying "I'm glad the washroom is not too far away from here". He had a prostate problem that all were aware of but said nothing for fear of insulting James. He had already decided to ask Ronny and Catherine how and why they looked so healthy.

As James sat down and grabbed his drink he shocked every one by asking, "Ronny why are you two the picture of health and the rest of us look like we do?" "Funny you should ask that James", replied Ronny. "Catherine and I have been searching for a way to help all of you, but we were waiting for the right time".

Just then Catherine interrupted by saying, "maybe now is the time". The group smiled for they had been thinking the same thing. Sensing this Ronny asked the group "would you all be willing to seek my advice?" They all nodded in agreement.

"Let us start with James since he is the one who mentioned it first Ok?" They all agreed. "Well, let me start by telling you a few little stories that I have heard".

Just last week he had an operation on his leg to correct a blood circulation problem. Now he is complaining about it being cold and uncomfortable, and he can barely move it. His daughter felt the cold leg and asked, "whats wrong now? Are you going to have to go in again?" Two days later, after having more tests done Mr. Blake was told that his foot would have to be removed just above the ankle. Since blood congealed for some unknown reasons in the foot, greatly slowing down the return flow up his leg to the heart.

Mr. Blake wondered to himself, "how did I get to become diabetic and why is there no cure? Sometimes I think my life is just not worth living, not this way. Not with all this pain and useless medications that do not seem to help".

Mr. Blake's daughter Cathy spends her day wondering why both her parents, good honest working people should be afflicted each with a different set of health problems. Cathy's mother is very close to death at this time due to kidney failure. Cathy is now at the stage of fear at hearing the phone ring, the fear of the final call of her mother has passed.

She wonders why with all the advancements in medicine should this be happening, and decides that life is just not only unfair but cruel. What illness is she in for? What of her husband? She glances at her son sitting on the couch playing a video game. What fate is in store for him? How can I save him when I am helplessly watching my parents suffer and die? Glancing at the clock she rushes off to work.

"That's amazing", announced James, "You heard these and they are real" "Yes" replied Ronny, "and here is a hypothetical story based on what I have heard from several groups in the know". "Tell us", pleaded Grace, loving a good story. The rest of them leaned forward not wanting to miss a word. Ronny started.

On a bright sunny day at the private exclusive golf club in Florida, George is at the tee. He looks down at the ball then down the fairway and remarks to Bill chief CEO of one the most powerful government bodies in the country, "Life is great. My company earned over $40,000,000.00 in profit in just the first quarter of this year. I just love my drug company". Bill replied with a smile, "you just don't care how many people suffer buying the bogus crap you call drugs do you?". "How else can I afford to give you your large bonus every year?" George remarked.

"Apparently you were born without much of a conscience were you?" asked Bill as he scanned the green two hundred and fifty yards away. "I, like you have decided that it has a way of getting in the way of profits. Anyway I don't care how many people suffer and die as long as we make hefty sales", George looked at the ball, and with great concentration raised his arms then took his swing. He cursed out loud as the ball fell short of the green.

Several hours later after the golf game George stood in the boardroom staring out the plate glass window down at the sprawling city far below. He thought to himself, "how can we get more profits from those stupid idiots down there?" Just then many of the top company executives entered the large room. They sat in their own comfortable and expensive chairs.

As George turned around and started walking to the head of the table he noticed one of his staff was already seated and with a grin from ear to ear. "What's with you, today Stan? You look like you won the lottery again". "Sir you won't believe it but I have come up with a solution to the question you posed to us last week. I can just see my bonus pay now".

"Well don't sit there like an idiot! Tell me". "Well, sir, it's like this. We start a pandemic". "I like it already" George interrupted then said "continue". "We start a pandemic then advertise how deadly it is and cause mass hysteria. We then develop a new drug which we sell at a huge profit to combat this new threat. Then we get the government to back us into forcing the people to be inoculated.

The sweet part is the government pays for it all. We will make a killing on it in more ways then one, since a large number of people will die, causing the majority to fall in and voluntarily take the drug. We can't loose". "That's fantastic", George interjected, "what do the rest of you think?" With one hundred percent of the yes vote they started planning.

George asked Stan, "How are you enjoying your bonus?" "Yes" Stan replied. "I bought a villa on the west coast of Greece and a seventy- five foot yacht to cruise the Mediterranean Sea". "Good for you" George remarked, "I see your spending it wisely. Tell me, how is the pandemic doing?" "Well" Stan said, with a very large grin, "we raked in sixty four million in the first month and we're well on our way to doubling that this month.

We also calculated that this pandemic will run its course for another ten months". George turned around looked out the penthouse office window, mentally calculating huge profits. Combining drug sales and this pandemic he figured roughly four point four billion in generated revenues for just one year. Ah life is wonderful he thought.

"You can't get a sweeter deal then this. With government backing we have the new born getting their first needle and the profits start from there. I only wish I had gotten into the food industry as well. Those bastards are making a killing. Well, you've got to share the wealth I suppose".

At that moment, Stan announced that the profits they were making having their scientists come up with addictive formulas for the food industry were in excess of millions per month. George turned in surprise. "What did you say?" Stan repeated and added "Mr. Brooks got us involved in that two years before you came on board". George replied, "smart man that Mr. Brooks".

As he walked out the door, Stan stopped and slowly turned around, "should we not be a little concerned of the amount of deaths?" George looked up at Stan with amazement in his eyes, "are you kidding me? It don't matter how many we kill. There are plenty of them out there. And anyway they breed like rabbits, so we'll never run out of those stupid money making fools. They are a constantly producing profit machine. So don't worry. Go sail your yacht and keep a smile on your face". Stan thanked George, and with a smile on his face walked out of the office

"Is this true?" asked Richie in amazement. "Yes" replied Ronny "the concept is, but the names are changed to protect the guilty. These types of people do exist and actually do these things I just mentioned". "That's all well and good for you to talk about, but what has that got to do with helping us" asked Malcolm.

"Well first of all, you need to know some of the causes that effect us in our daily lives in regards to Wealth, Health and happiness" replied Ronny. "Each one of you in this group is afflicted with one or more problems that is caused by the medical, government, and religious groups. All of your problems can and will be solved if you listen and follow up on what you hear from myself and Catherine".

"There is room on this world for every one to be healthy and well off.

Let us start with James. He and his family suffer from many medical problems

Martin is very religious and is very confused and starting to feel very frustrated and is unsure as to why. Richie thinks the government is out to get him but since he can't put his finger on the cause, he too is frustrated.

"Hank is always down and out, and has been divorced twice. He can't seem to get his head above the water line. Malcolm and his family are uncomfortable with their obesity. Then there is Jeff who is not aware of the meaning of what history tries to tell us and why it keeps on repeating".

"Well, all of us can benefit from the many stories and knowledge that Catherine and I have, and would love to share with you". A warm gentle breeze wafted over Catherine's long, beautiful red hair as she stood and announced, "would any one like a snack?" Richie said "hope it won't take too long I want to hear more of what Ronny has to say". Grace quickly got up to help Catherine with getting the snacks.

As every one was again seated Ronny continued. "We the many live our lives under the rules of a chosen few. They are the chosen few because they have placed themselves in those positions. That way we do the hard work and they live the easy life". "Why?" asked Jeff. "Well it's simple, really. They are too lazy to do any real work of a productive value. At the same time they make us feel as if we are the guilty ones, and that they must tell us what to do, think, and say.

"They want to keep the power and prestige that they have worked so hard for in conniving and lies. They will do what it takes to keep this control. This is why they try to find more and more ways to take as much money from us as they can. It is easier to rule over a poor and unhealthy population. I will explain more as we go along okay?" They all nodded.

Ronny stood up and motioned for them to listen and said let me tell you another story.

Right from birth we are given our first needle, one that most of us do not really need, since most mothers try to take the best precautions they possibly can. They want to be proud of giving birth to a beautiful healthy, baby. Most do not smoke or drink alcohol or abuse themselves while pregnant. They try to stay healthy and eat the best possible foods to ensure the health of their child to be.

It is an inherent desire in most women to deliver the world's perfect healthy baby.

A parent wants a child who will contribute to society in a positive manner as well as having a long happy productive life. A parent wants a child they can be proud of. This is a basic human need.

Meanwhile we do not realize that the foods we eat are filled with toxins, poisons and drugs, to harm us and keep us addicted to them; keeping us coming back for more. Go to a plaza and find a seat to sit on and observe the people walking by. You will notice a larger amount of overweight and unhealthy people over fairly healthy looking ones.

Why is that? Well for one thing improper eating habits and exercise brought on by advertising and chemically induced foods are to blame. We are treated like pigs at the trough being fed trash and scraps of worthless value, yet we gullibly consume what we are handed. We are unknowingly self inflicting our own ill health and paying the food and drug companies to destroy our bodies for their own profits.

Even the water we drink is poisoned by chlorine known to destroy brain cells, thus reducing the efficiency of the brain. This in turn helps in turning the population into a mindless working force that is easier to control. We are brainwashed into believing that prescription drugs are the only thing that can make us healthier.

We are told that our body is unable to heal itself without drugs. So we gladly buy this drug for that, and this drug for that. Have you ever heard two people talking about how I am using this drug for my blood pressure and this drug to keep my blood thinner? Yet I still have this persistent bloating or something or other? I also have to take the medication for the rest of my life. I used to dream about taking a nice vacation but now I can not afford to.

Anyway I am not healthy enough to take one. Most people are blissfully unaware that they are self inflicting their own ill health because the real truth is kept hidden from them. The truth being hidden from us is the proper healthy use of natural herbs and homeopathic medications. Why? It is simply put that the drug companies would loose too much profit. That is all they care about if the truth were told.

Somewhere it has been stated that we now have more diseases and ailments then we did say fifty years ago. Most are made up through the placed upon us through survival in this economy, while others are through many electronic devises placed too close to our bodies, such as cellular phones, pagers and laptops.
