63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want To Read, by Jesse Ventura: on Health Care

Jesse Ventura: 1948: US tested VD antibiotics on Guatemalan citizens

We know about the horrifying Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment when the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) "observed" and experimented on 399 poor African-American men in the late stages of syphilis--basically watching them die over a forty-year period starting in 1932. This came to light in 1972.

Yet another study has been uncovered in 2010. The USPHS was also busy in Guatemala from 1946-1948, infecting nearly 1,000 Guatemalan citizens with venereal diseases. Why? To test antibiotics. Don't believe me--it was published as "Findings from a CDC Report on the 1946-1948 U.S. Public Health Service Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Inoculation Study."

Jesse Ventura: 5,000 die yearly from preventable food-borne illness

The conditions by which our food is being supplied to us are very dangerous. Consider that more than half a billion eggs were recalled last year and a salmonella outbreak in August made about 1,700 people sick. Preventable food-borne illness hits about 76 million Americans every year--325,000 became hospitalized and 5,000 die from eating tainted food!

It all comes back to the same old thing: this is what happens when corporations, in this case agribusiness, take over. It simply becomes bottom line, money, and profits--everything else is damned.

You'd think that the federal regulators would want to keep tabs on this, but for years the FDA looked the other way.
