*Gee, I wonder why Henry Waxman would do this? Uhm... Could it be that he
is in the pocket of the pharmaceutical companies? Over $20,000 dollars
contributed<http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/pacs.php?cycle=2010&cid=N00001861§or=H&seclong=Health&newMem=N>to

*Health freedom alert: Congressman Waxman sneaks anti-vitamin amendment into
Wall Street reform bill*
(NaturalNews<http://www.naturalnews.com/028687_Henry_Waxman_health_freedom.html>)
Of all the sneaky tactics practiced in Washington D.C., this recent action
by Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) is one of the most insidious: While no
one was looking, he injected amendment language into the *Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act of 2009* (H.R. 4173) that would expand the
powers of the FTC (not the FDA, but the FTC [Federal Trade Commission]) to
terrorize nutritional supplement companies by greatly expanding the power of
the FTC to *make its own laws* that target dietary supplement companies.
This is a little-known secret about the FTC and the nutritional supplements
business: The FTC routinely targets nutritional supplement companies that
are merely *telling the truth* about their products. Some companies are
threatened by merely *linking to published scientific studies* about their
products.
For example, here's an important article that describes how to FDA
criminally extorts money out of supplement companies:
http://www.naturalnews.com/024567_h...<http://www.naturalnews.com/024567_health_the_FDA_websites.html>
The FTC does much the same thing. They target a particular company that's
having success in the natural products marketplace, then they accuse that
company of "inferring" that their products have some health benefit. From
there, the FTC demands that the company engage in paying a massive fine to
the FTC, which the FTC calls "consumer redress" even though none of the
money actually goes to the consumers.
If you try to fight the FTC, they haul you into their own special "FTC
courts" which are not public courts where you have the benefit of a jury,
but rather they are courts where the judges are actually *FTC employees* and
*you have no rights*. You are essentially guilty until proven innocent, and
virtually no one has been found innocent by the FTC.
*If the King says you're guilty, then you're guilty*
