In the forthcoming international tribunal against the pharmaceutical business with disease, the lobbyists of these special interests will get special attention.

For decades now, the drug industry has financed and maintained an army of its lobbyists in the international media. Their task is to secure the interests of the pharmaceutical investment business with disease by spreading false and misleading information about the causes and nature of diseases, as well as the alleged value of highly questionable drugs in fighting them.

As such, those media owners and executives of media outlets who knowingly spread false and misleading information will, obviously, be held responsible for the harm they cause.

In April 2009, Dr. Rath was contacted by Ben Hammersley, the Associate Editor of a newly founded magazine, WIRED, in the UK. Owned by Condé Nast Publications, a publishing company whose other brands include The New Yorker, the circumstances of the launch of this magazine are under investigation.

Hammersley’s fax contained questions for Dr. Rath, which, already, even at first glance, reflected the disingenuous nature of the planned article and the global PR war of the drug industry against natural health.

Rather than answering Hammersley’s loaded questions, however, Dr. Rath asked his attorneys, Eversheds LLP, to warn Hammersley of the severe legal consequences of publishing an article distorting the scientific facts about the deadly nature of ARV drugs.

This letter, from Eversheds, was sent to Hammersley on 5 May 2009.

Citing the overwhelming and devastating scientific facts about the fraudulent ARV drug business that emerged during court proceedings in a case against the UK’s Guardian newspaper in 2007, the letter informed Hammersley that these facts are now forming the basis for potential class action litigation – against drug companies, media and other ARV promoting entities – by patients and institutions alike. The letter added that the Dr. Rath Foundation and its scientific experts will support such litigation with the goal of establishing the scientific facts and ending the fraudulent ARV drug business with the AIDS epidemic.

Nevertheless, after several weeks of extended consideration, Hammersley – having apparently decided to overrule the concerns raised in the warning letter – went ahead and published the planned article, despite being fully aware of the scientifically unsustainable nature of its contents and the potential legal consequences for WIRED magazine.

In the context of the preparations for an international tribunal, therefore, the letter sent by Eversheds represents an important piece of evidence and already has to be considered a historic document.

We gave the forthcoming tribunal against the pharmaceutical investment business the name “Nuremberg II” for good reason. The historic Nuremberg Tribunal against the criminals behind WWII included not only the military puppets, but also the key supporters from the fields of medicine, industry and the media. Many of these supporters were sentenced to extended prison terms – some of them even to the death penalty. These historic facts are documented on the Profit Over Life website.
