FTAA Drugs : Killing the Poor and the Old. Social Darwinism


22 September 2005


I have not found the Web Page of "La Republica" for September 21, Wednesday, 2005

Rosalba Cubillos, Journalist and Reporter is today in Cartagena, Colombia, spying on the discussions for the Andean FTA that take place there today.

She tells us about the drugs and "generics" according to the Andean FTA.
Generics are drugs with expired patents and they are 2 thirds of the Colombian Market. They are indispensable for the Poor, Old and Weak to survive.

But I have here in my hands the Real Newspaper and I can summarize the grave and dangerous things that she has discovered in these secret conversations.

The Big US Farmaceutical Industry is crazy for milking the Colombian Market and extending the patents many years more than authorized by the US legislation, Colombian Legislation and the World Trade Organization.

In order to earn a penny more they are ready to kill thousands of old, poor and weak people.

This seems to be written by DR Mengele.

The Colombian Laboratories that sell "generic" drugs ( with patents expired everywhere ) will be ruined in favor of the Big Multinational Corporations.

They have devised a scheme to prolong the business more years after the patent expires. They have devised how to throw obstacles to the "generic" patent in order to continue charging 4 or 5 times more for the same drug.

That is the relation between the patented drug and the generic drug : 4 to 5 times more expensive.

The U. S. wants to impose their patents on Yagé and Ayahuasca, on Curare and all plants discovered by the South American Indians 10,000 years ago.

Yes, there is an American Patent for Yagé. Incredible !!

It is very likey that many Andean animals are already patented in the USA or soon to be patented.


The tiny rainbow toads of my country may be already patented inside the USA. So every useful drug that is obtained from them is subject to royalties and abusive earnings by the Big Pharmaceuticals.


The Big Pharmaceuticals were very enthusiastic about approving CAFTA and they paid more than 10 times to U. S. Congressmen as the "Big Sugar" Lobby.

The power of Big Sugar is ridiculous compared to Merk, Pfizzer, Abbot, ...etc ... They earn 1000 times more money.





Social Darwinism :



Herbert Spencer 1820ÂÂ* - 1903 created "Social Darwinism".

The poor should be abandoned to their lot, they were genetically inferior. This was married with Eugenesics and Frenology.

There was a lot of Nazism, Racism and Supremacism before Hitler took over in Germany. These Eugenesics were applied mainly in the Northern Hemisphere and Australia.

If you saw the Australian Movie "Jessica" .... you can see that Aboriginal Children were snatched from their parents to save them from an "Inferior Culture".

Many "Pefectly Aryan" non-Jewish Children were killed in Germany because they pissed their beds or were slightly retarded.

It seems that "Social Darwinism" is returning. The Peasantry of the Andes is going to be destroyed with the competition of American Cereals and their big subsidies. And the Neoliberal theory is that they should be evicted and displaced.

They will be beggars and will increase the pressure to destroy the Environement.

This will create big Pressure for EMIGRATION in all classes of Andean Society.

An Immigrant is always first and Emigrant.


If we protect the threatened gorillas and chimpanzees, then shouldn't humans be protected ??
