Mengele article

Dear Mr. Whitehead:

Thank you for writing about the U.S. government's "involvement in numerous questionable and immoral human research programs." I was therapist for two survivors of such experiments from the fifties and sixties and they are still suffering from the devastating effects of tortures perpetrated on them in the name of protecting and defending our country.

Currently survivors and advocates have mounted a campaign to make the public, especially Congress people aware that such atrocities occurred. In the Advocacy Packet developed for this project a survivor writes:

What was done to me was ruthless, tragic, degrading, not to speak of illegal. My government to which I pay taxes needs to be accountable for what happened to me and other children who were tortured in concentration camp-like experiments. It is bad enough that such abuse happened to adults -- but to unknowing children? It was not only criminal, but inhumane.

I thank God that I have lived to perhaps help see that there might be some justice and, if not justice, awareness brought to the public eye about what happened and may still be happening. I am making sure that I take good care of myself so that I can help bring such atrocities out into the open.

I would like to address the issue of how I have been left after such horrifying abuse. First of all, it is amazing that I am alive. I believe I was left susceptible to many diseases. I contracted polio, plus the abuse has wreaked havoc on my body and mind. Every day I cope with pain and wonder how I will survive the next minute. Doctor and hospital bills are astronomical. The toll it takes on my spouse is unmentionable. Psychologically, it is another dimension altogether. Unending nightmares are still with me to this day. Not only did I go through the abuse once, but again in the nightmares.

I am not sure there would be enough compensation in the world to make up for what was done to me and there certainly has been no acknowledgment, let alone apologies from any of the abusers. It is astounding how abuse is ignored in this country. Not only ignored, but condoned and put into action.

I want to know what will be done about these criminal acts in this so-called free country in which I was raised. Will I ever get any answers or apologies or acknowledgment? Believe me, that is a big question mark in my life. I have only been able to cope because of great doctors, wonderful friends, and a supportive husband.

I even had to fight very hard for disability from the government that did this to me. What a joke!

Mengele's Legacy

Dear Mr Whitehead,

I applaud your effort to bring human rights abuses by our own government to light. It amazes me that with all the evidence of the horrific experiments on innocents, the media has given so little attention to an issue of this magnitude. What can be more important if we are truly a free and democratic nation than to treat all citizens regardless of age, creed, health, etc., with the exact same rights, without exceptions or abuses. No single human being is dispensable. It is horrifying what our government can do in the name of "National Security" or our supposed best interests. These issues were first brought to light to me after reading, "A Nation Betrayed: The Chilling and True Story of Secret Cold War Experiments Performed on Our Children and Other Innocent People " by Carol Rutz. Her story is an excellent example of the power and beauty of the human spirit to overcome atrocities. Unspeakably, the horrors she experienced were perpetrated against her will by our own government, and as a small child. My heart goes out to all of the survivors of mind control and other heinous experiments. Thank you again, for bringing this issue to light. Hopefully, with enough exposure the mainstream public will be educated about the truth.

Sincerely,

H. Doom

Mengele's Legacy

Dear Mr. Whitehead:

Thank you for your article, Mengele’s Legacy Lives On: Inhumane Experiments on Children in America, 4/18/2005. Without you bringing the truth to light, there would be no restraints on those who commit atrocities.

Best.

Bonhoeffer article

Hi John.

My children and I just finished listening to a dramatized version of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s story (by Focus on the Family). A friend and I were discussing this, and she found and sent me your article on the same subject. Of course, the timing of our listening to the story was perfect (sure didn’t plan it that way), and your article filled in some details that I found very interesting...like how 6,000 other conspirators were also executed by Hitler and one of his own exposed him, I’m sure under duress.

Anyway, just wanted to say I enjoyed your article. Thanks for taking the time to tell this man’s important story...as relevant today as it was 60 years ago.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Ramskill

MONDAY

Hi John!

I'm a new member, and I found out about Rutherford from one of your radio "ads".

George Bush has been a disgrace to our nation, and to our U.S. Constitution.
America needs more leaders like Martin Luther King, Abe Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson.

The Patriot Act??? What a shameful and abusive invasion of personal freedoms and individual rights!!! 99% of Americans are NOT "terrorists". The Bush Administration is using "national security" as a poor excuse to unlawfully control the American people!!!

What ever happened to "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness"???
People need to realize that our government does NOT own us.....Our government OWES us!!!

They owe us our civil and constitutional rights. This Bush Administration is all about the "arrogant abuse of power"!

We need to demand our freedoms back. We need to demand respect from our government. Americans are more paranoid than ever!!!........And it's NOT because of foreign terrorists.....It's because of our "Nazi-like" government!!!

John, keep up the fight.

Thank you for your courageous patriotism!

Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Voice Against Tyranny

Subject: Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Voice Against Tyranny

John,

Excellent article. Yet, why is nobody openly talking about the hospice killings? The national right to life organizations know about these killings but refuse to openly speak about this epidemic spreading across our nation. Morphine and sedatives flow like water in hospices, placing patients into medically-induced comas from which the victim is never allowed to recover, assuring death through dehydration over a two week (or less) period.

Hospice industry leaders have direct links to the Euthanasia Society of America, later known as Choice in Dying, which gave us our living wills, advanced directives and DNRs... all incremental steps to assisted suicide. Combining that with the privacy rights of patients to be respected at all costs (allowing doctor-patient agreements to end the lives of babies or the patients themselves), we have the recipe for hastened death sweeping over our nation. HIPAA and privacy laws assure a cover for agencies that help perpetrate these crimes.

Those who think like the Nazis with regard to the disabled, chronically ill or mentally incapacitated have no qualms in ending their lives. They are proud of it. All one needs is a job at a hospice or access to a hospice and you can kill off just about anyone. Doctor shop till you get the referral, and anyone can be done in.

So, why, oh why, are the prolife groups so silent about the huge number of hospice killings going on? Doctors all over the nation know these killings are going on, but they are not speaking out about it. The Terri Schiavo case first and foremost was a hospice planned killing, using the legal system to back door euthanasia into America, an "in-your-face" slap at the values upon which our nation was founded.

You may be interested in learning about the hospice in Florida that actively participated in killing Terri Schindler Schiavo. See my sub-website dedicated to just the corruption at that hospice:

You could spend many hours there to just peruse all the violations of laws and regulations going on there.

Subject: State of the Union: Fascism with a Smile—Part I

John W. Whitehead

On your web site, you write: " “But,” as Daniel Kurtzman recognizes in an article on www.tompaine.com, “when the government abuses that trust and begins to stamp out the freedom of dissent that is the hallmark of a democratic society, can there be any turning back?”
And I respond to you the same way as I did to another mistaken writer.
I say (James Barton):
Legitimacy in the article was lost, and I quit reading midway through the second sentence, when you said the majority rules and everyone else can take it or leave it; i.e., when you wrote " the believers in genuine democracy" I laughed and almost fell off my seat. What democracy are you referring to? Our fine Republic? When did it morph into a democracy? Or was it when people like you lost sight of our founder's dream and construct and through your infinite wisdom decided it was something else other than the intended? This was not a democracy that was founded. Anything but. Maybe it is a "genuine democracy" to you but to the rest of us it is still hopefully a Republic however denigrated by these kinds of derailed thoughts. Where did you get that "the heirs of Jefferson and Madison, Emerson and Thoreau, the toilers and dreamers, all those who seek to rise above the beast within and shape the brutal chaos of existence into something higher".... never in your wildest dreams did these thinkers espouse democracy. Indeed, they railed against it as the ultimate boogeyman type of system doomed to failure.

Knowing that a democracy is a government of men in which the tyranny of the majority rules, America's Founding Fathers wisely created a republic - a government ruled by law.
Also:
The deliberations of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were held in strict secrecy. Consequently, anxious citizens gathered outside Independence Hall when the proceedings ended in order to learn what had been produced behind closed doors. The answer was provided immediately. A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."
The word "republic" comes from the Latin res publica - which means simply "the public thing(s)," or more simply "the law(s)." "Democracy," on the other hand, is derived from the Greek words demos and kratein, which translates to "the people to rule." Democracy, therefore, has always been synonymous with majority rule.
The Founding Fathers supported the view that (in the words of the Declaration of Independence) "Men . are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." They recognized that such rights should not be violated by an unrestrained majority any more than they should be violated by an unrestrained king or monarch. In fact, they recognized that majority rule would quickly degenerate into mobocracy and then into tyranny. They had studied the history of both the Greek democracies and the Roman republic. They had a clear understanding of the relative freedom and stability that had characterized the latter, and of the strife and turmoil - quickly followed by despotism - that had characterized the former. In drafting the Constitution, they created a government of law and not of men, a republic and not a democracy.

Federal Reserve System

It is past time for this illegal system to go. It is one of the most evil and damaging things to ever be imposed upon this country. It has touched every life of every person born since its inception when the cowards in Congress allowed a central bank to be chained around the necks of the working people in this nation. Our forefathers hated a central bank and gave us a written document to avoid such a thing coming to our country. The express power they gave Congress can not be given to another, but the illegal giving away this power of coining regulating a monetary was an act of treason. It is time that the citizens woke up and cast of these chains of servitude and take back the power of the people to have sound money and stop the inflation powers of this insidious system. Paper money, especially paper that is irredeemable in nothing and is created out of nothing is a crime and robbery of the people yet our political leaders see nothing wrong with it because without such a monetary system they could not continue to borrow money and continue to load this country with debt to the tune of 8 trillion dollars not including the off budget debt that the American people know nothing about. Plus when are we ever going to get an honest President again. Why does he not tell the truth about social security, that it has been robbed of over a trillion dollars paid by the workers of this nation over the years and investigate as to who the ones are that stole from what was a fund and throwed it away in their pork barrel spending and foreign aid and treat and try them for what they are, criminals.
