FDA Knows About 100,000 Deaths Per Year But Does Nothing About It. And More.

The Institute for Safe Medication Practices has rendered a report in which: “It calculated that in 2011 prescription drugs were associated with two to four million people in the US experiencing ‘serious, disabling, or fatal injuries, including 128,000 deaths.’”  Why is the FDA allowed to get away with such devastating harm to the American public? http://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/05/16/why-the-fda-should-be-charged-with-murder/

And I might add why is the FDA apparently seeking to impose oppressive government controls over organic farmers and small farms who use practices in place for centuries?  Is it possible that big agriculture is pressuring them to do so for their benefit?  Surely the FDA wouldn't put big agribusiness interests over organic/family farmers and their customers.   http://www.offthegridnews.com/2014/05/16/fda-to-ban-organic-farming/

Ask yourself, when a government has powers such as those summarized above who does it work for?  In the first case it is the pharmaceuticals and the broader medical community.  In the second case they are in the pocket of big agriculture who wants to put organic/small farmers out of business, eliminating their competition.  In both cases it is a certainty that the FDA's abiding interests are not by any objective measure entirely our interests.
