I've been an activist in different areas for a long time. Bad things have happened to me and to fellow activists.
I have friends who were targeted and one I strongly suspect -- was murdered. That would be Nicolas Regush, former investigative medical/scientific reporter for ABC News with Peter Jennings.
Regush left ABC News in disgust after more than ten years because the network refused to report on toxic injury which he knew to be a huge issue. He started his own magazine in Canada called Red Flags Weekly, which then became Red Flags Daily.
I was his consultant on toxic injury and we spoke via phone several times a week. He suddenly died of a heart attack just prior to convening an international conference in New York City regarding toxic injury. Scientists and physicians from all over the world planned to attend. His death was never investigated... at least not to my knowledge, but he was young and vigorous. I think he was killed by something that can cause a massive heart attack.
Then there was my dear friend James I. Moss who was targeted and his job eliminated. He testified before the Rockefeller (ironic) committee on Gulf War Illness and published his research findings which Johnson and Johnson did not like. They funded the dept. at the Univ. of FL USDA research office where he worked .... and he was bye, bye immediately afterwards.
I was targeted and most likely was poisoned over a period of several months when I started the national Ross Perot for President movement in Key West. So many strange things happened during that year and I knew in my heart and soul that there was no way that they could be an accident or coincidence.
My friend Omar Shafey, MD, who was the epidemiologist for the State of Florida who was targeted and fired for his report on Malathion poisonings in Florida. The pressure came from the top guy at the FL Dept. of "Health", Secretary Robert Brooks -- appointed by Jeb Bush in early 1999. But the dirty work was done by Rick Hunter who at the time was the Deputy State Health Officer and #2 in charge of daily operations, (very slick political operator behind good ole boy Oklahoma image, protects Brooks from direct liability. Hunter rose up through the Division of Environmental Health).
Zane Kime, M.D., of Auburn, CA., was most likely murdered on a mountain climbing trip with someone who disappeared after the death. Kime was doing work that dealt with toxic injury.
Marion Moses, MD, of San Francisco, also a toxic injury expert, was repeatedly threatened as was Janette Sherman, MD, who had the same type of expertise.
And many, many other activists have suffered terrible things.
I believe you because I have direct experiences that have caused suffering and anger. And I have many dear friends who have suffered terribly because like me, and you, they were trying to make the world a better place to live in.
