Breaking Up the US FDA…
By Ralph Fucetola JD
http://bolenreport.com/breaking-up-the-us-fda/#more-14316

"It’s been just over a decade since an official government study of
the FDA proclaimed:

The “November 2007 Report of the Subcommittee on Science and
Technology – FDA Science and Mission at Risk.“

1) The FDA cannot fulfill its mission because its scientific base has
eroded and its scientific organizational structure is weak.

2) The FDA cannot fulfill its mission because its scientific workforce
does not have sufficient capacity and capability.

3) The FDA cannot fulfill its mission because its information
technology (IT) infrastructure is inadequate.

4) FDA does not have the capacity to ensure the safety of food for the
nation.

5) The development of medical products based on “new science” cannot
be adequately regulated by the FDA.

6) There is insufficient capacity in modeling risk assessment and
analysis.

7) The FDA science agenda lacks a coherent structure and vision, as
well as effective coordination and prioritization.

8) The FDA has substantial recruitment and retention challenges.

9) The FDA has an inadequate and ineffective program for scientist
performance.

10) The FDA has not taken sufficient advantage of external and
internal collaborations.

11) The FDA lacks the information science capability and information
infrastructure to fulfill is regulatory mandate.

12) The FDA cannot provide the information infrastructure support to
regulate products based on new science. [3]

The FDA is a failed agency…"


Now before anybody goes ranting about how Bolen isn't creditable, its
beside the point. His website is just the messenger.

"The U.S. government does not study anything holistically. Everything
is studied in isolation from all else."
-- The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth, and
Trust (Manifesto Series) by Robert David Steele

"From an early age, we are forced into a mandatory school system that
requires and encourages youth to attend for a large portion of their
human life, for six hours a day. Each child is required to learn the
accepted version of reality in order to fit into the specific mold
desired by the elite. Just like television, a large part of school is
simply programming. It’s ironic how the same families behind the
funding are responsible for many inhumane atrocities that took place
throughout history. They are also behind big oil, big pharma, food and
other industries that are becoming more transparent as of late. Kids
who do not fit into the system and do not resonate with it are usually
labelled and medicated. Essentially, the whole point of school is to
shape the reality of the student."

" ...if we were really taught to critically think do you think we
would have the systems we have in place now? Our financial system? Our
health system and its corruption? Events like 9/11? Religions? Even
our education system for that matter. If we were actually taught to
critically think, education as we know it would collapse on itself and
a new system would be built. If we were actually taught to critically
think, the powers at be would not have the control they do now, this
is why we are sent to school from such a young age, and why fear is
used to get us to continue in our later years."

http://www.collective-evolution.com/2009/09/20/understanding-vs-memorization/
"It is important we learn to understand the information we take in and
not simply memorize it, this will allow us to break each piece of
information down to its roots and find the truth or fallacy. It is
evident we rarely do this now by simply looking at the world we live
in. This does not mean we need to be skeptics or pessimists, or try
and logically think everything out, it simply means we should look to
understand our information and FEEL whether is bares truth. We need
not memorize information we receive from authority figures, it is a
choice, one we can all make from here on out."

Yes this was near the end of "WS" team as president. bush2 had appointed
unqualified political appointees to key positions. The congress had cut
expenditures and budgets, even though Bush2 had fast tracked many new drugs
through the testing phase.

In 2016 FDA was stronger and better than ever. Bush' S idea of having the
regulators work as partners with the companies and corporations they were
to overseas was a bogus move.


Carole likes to post old and outdated material and act as if it is
important.
