Government Buys Cipro For Reduced Price
Bayer To Sell Drug For 95 Cents Per Tablet
Bayer agreed to sell the government 100 million pills at 95 cents each. That's a savings of $95 million from Bayer's original price. The federal government previously paid an initial discounted price of $1.77 per tablet.
Before reaching the deal, Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson threatened to ask Congress to seek a waiver of Bayer's patent on Cipro to allow production of a cheaper generic equivalent.
Bayer's president and chief executive officer, Helge H. Wehmeier, said that his company is fully committed to supplying America in its war on bioterrorism.

Bayer sued for part in Nazi atrocities
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) – German pharmaceutical giant Bayer AG participated in World War II atrocities committed by Nazi doctors who experimented on Jews, according to a suit filed by a Holocaust survivor.
Eva Mozes Kor of Terre Haute filed the lawsuit Wednesday in U.S. District Court here. With her sister, Ms. Kor was among the hundreds of sets of twins experimented on by the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Bayer paid Nazi officials for access to those confined in concentration camps and collaborated in Nazi experiments as a form of research and development, plaintiff's lawyer Irwin B. Levin said.
"It's impossible to put on a scale the various horrors of the Holocaust, but this case represents the worst example of individual and corporate evil that the legal system may ever see," he said.
She claims that Bayer monitored and supervised the experiments.

IG Farben
IG Farben (short for Interessen-Gemeinschaft Farbenindustrie AG) (and also called I.G. Farbenfabriken) was a German conglomerate of companies formed in 1925 and even earlier during World War I. Farben is German for "paints", "dyes", or "colors", and initially many of these companies produced dyes, but soon began to embrace more and more advanced chemistry. The founding of the IG Farben was a reaction to Germany's defeat in the First World War. IG Farben held a near total monopoly on the chemical production, later during the time of Nazi Germany. It is the German chemical firm that was the financial core of the Hitler regime, and was the main supplier of Zyklon-B to the German government during the extermination phase of the Holocaust. Before the war the dyestuff companies had a near monopoly in the world market which they lost during the conflict. One solution for regaining this position was a large merger.
IG Farben consisted of the following major companies and several smaller ones.
Agfa
Casella
BASF (Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik)
Bayer
Hoechst
Huels
Kalle

The four largest quickly bought the smaller ones, and today only Agfa, BASF, and Bayer remain, while Hoechst merged with the French Rhône-Poulenc Rorer to form Aventis, now based in Strasbourg, France.(after WW II) MORE...

IG Farben is not a household name today. In mid 20th century Germany it was the largest Industrial empire ever assembled in Europe. Post WWII it was broken off into three pieces, and it's record has faded from general knowledge. Today you know it as Bayer aspirin, BASF video tapes, Agfa film. At its peak IG Farben controlled over 500 companies.
IG has a particular connection to the Bush story, and it comes about like this: the Harriman fortune used borrowed money, which came mainly from Jacob Schiff. In a biography we read that Harriman borrowed and spent $60 million one day, and then borrowed and spent $40 million more the next day. Schiff loaned him that hundred-million dollars, some of it from Max Warburg's bank in Germany. Warburg was involved with IG farben, as director along with several others from his banking house. Dulles was involved through Sullivan & Cromwell negotiating deals for Rockefeller's Standard Oil. Thyssen money was involved, as (despite some famous histories) Auschwitz was chosen in great deliberation by the Nazi regime due to its proximity to the Silesian coal interests of Thyssen's.
At it's maximum expansion, Auschwitz used more electricity than the city of Berin, and it required a lot of coal to keep the lights burning. There were forty concentration camps at Auschwitz to supply slave workers to the various industries which set up factories there. Used up slaves too exhausted to work further were disposed of in the gas chambers at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.
While it might be said that the death camp kept its secrets until well into 1942, and didn't actually begin large scale murders until 1941, the Mein Kampf program called for the extermination of 40,000,000 of the 70,000,000 Poles and slavs in the east to make living room for the German master race. It wasn't a secret in 1925, so nobody should act surprised that plans published and emphasized in speeches throughout the 1930s actually were carried out. Much more...
