General Education Board, 1915

"Since 1910, the Rockefeller General Education Board and other Foundations have showered millions of dollars on allopathic educational institutions, with the General Education Board alone contributing about $600,000,000." -Barbara Griggs, "Green Pharmacy" (74)

Don Redman

"Well I'm well aquatinted with the reefer man. Yeah, Jim I know the reefer man. If I claim my own portion of the Rockefeller fortune, then you know I just left that reefer man." -Don Redman and his orchestra, "Reefer Man," circa 1933 (75)

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power." -President Franklin D. Roosevelt (76)

The word "allopathy" means "treating disease with lots of harsh chemicals." The word "homeopathy" means "treating disease with small amounts of not-nearly-as-harsh herbs." (77) The Flexner Report of 1910 finally eliminated the "homeopathic" medical schools - all natural medicines, actually - within the United States. The report was financed and promoted by the Carnegie Foundation and Rockefeller's General Education Board. (78) The report helped reduce the number of medical colleges from 131 to 76 by 1930. (79)

Abraham Flexner

Flexner complained that any "crude boy or jaded clerk" could seek medical training. "The country needs fewer and better doctors," Flexner argued, "and the way to get the better is to produce fewer." Flexnerism ensured the closure of most of the woman-friendly medical colleges and 6 of 8 black medical colleges. (80) The 1977 "Declaration of Alma Ata" internationalized the "recommendations" in the Flexner report through the World Health Organization. (81)

With the homeopathic schools all but destroyed, the pharmaceutical companies expected no resistance passing the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act. According to the House of Representatives transcripts, the AMA - represented by the articulate Dr. William C. Woodward - actually testified against the bill. He didn't object to a doctor's monopoly, of course, just the outright ban pretending to be a tax. Congressman Vinson lied about Dr. Woodward's testimony and the act passed with little debate. (82)

What did President Roosevelt think about cannabis criminalization? Probably what he was instructed to think ... he was financed by Rockefeller money from his first day in politics. (83)
