China FDA Head to be Executed

When the former head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was caught violating the law, he was charged with two misdemeanors. When the former director of China's State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) was convicted on corruption charges, he was sentenced to death.

I don't know. I'm thinking that the Chinese version makes the next guy a little more responsible…

Chinese Shipments are Refused, but Get In Anyway

It's fast becoming apparent that food from China is dangerous. Despite the FDA's attempt to stop the tide, Chinese shippers are cleverly just trying again trying not to be in the 1% of checked shipments twice in a row.

Gonzales to Outlaw Attempted Copyright Infringement

I don't have the strength left to argue anymore, but this just seems like a bad idea (read it for yourself). Anyway, after Gonzales spent over a year under presidential directive to come up with a plan to fight ID Theft, but completely failed to endorse the one working solution, Gonzales' lack of competence is clear. And that's before I learned about the various allegations of wrong-doing against him.

A former FDA chief speaks out against the agency saying that it's "broken". Well duh.

Do a little research online and you can find all kinds of stories of how the FDA doesn't do it's job.

Tommy Thompson – May Run For President

(Image used under: Creative Commons 2.0 [SRC])

Katherine Albrecht, the world's leading RFID privacy expert and co-author of the book Spychips - How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move with RFID writes:

Former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson is considering a run for president in 2008…

As head of Health of Health and Human Services, Thompson oversaw the scandal-ridden FDA when it approved the VeriChip as a medical device. Shortly after leaving his cabinet post, he joined the board of the VeriChip Corporation and wasted no time in using his clout to promote the company's glass encapsulated RFID tags.

These tags are injected into human flesh to uniquely number and identify people. He also suggested implanting military personnel with the chips to replace dog tags.

Thompson has an option on more than 150,000 shares of VeriChip stock. Right now those options aren't worth much. Security flaws and public squeamishness have hurt the company's sales, resulting in losses of millions of dollars.

Even if he remains chip-free as we hope, the American people should still be wary of him.
