Beyond Pet Food: Poisoned Medicine Now Traced To...China
What should we expect from a depraved Communist pit like China?
Deliberately poisoning pet food has exposed the nihilistic corruption
of that tyranny, just as it has plagued every communist/socialist
regime in history. And while we have been living with the aftermath
of Chin's massive poisoning of our pet food supply, it has now been
revealed that China is responsible for a similar massive poisoning of
exported medicine.

Finding source of tainted medicine
Diethylene glycol trail leads to China

NEW YORK -- A syrupy poison, diethylene glycol, is an indispensable
part of the modern world, an industrial solvent and prime ingredient
in antifreeze.

It is also a killer. The kidneys fail first. Then the central nervous
system begins to misfire. Paralysis spreads, making breathing
difficult, then often impossible without assistance. In the end, most
victims die.

Many of them are children, poisoned at the hands of their
unsuspecting parents. Over the years, the poison has been loaded into
all varieties of medicine -- cough syrup, fever medication,
injectable drugs -- a result of counterfeiters who profit by
substituting the sweet-tasting solvent for a safe, more expensive
syrup, usually glycerin, commonly used in drugs, food, toothpaste,
and other products.

Toxic syrup has figured in at least eight mass poisonings around the
world in the past two decades. Researchers estimate that thousands
have died. In many cases, the precise origin of the poison has never
been determined. But records and interviews show that in three of the
last four cases it was made in China, a major source of counterfeit
drugs...

Last week, the US Food and Drug Administration warned drug makers and
suppliers in the United States "to be especially vigilant" in
watching for diethylene glycol. The warning did not specifically
mention China.

Especially vigilant. In other words, we haven't bothered to check
that product from China as it entered the country, anymore than we
checked anything else coming in from that cesspool. The news coverage
and general commentary to date moves along the presumption that these
chemical attacks have been launched out of greed. At what point,
however, is our government in going to contemplate that these
actions, which have caused mass deaths in people and animals, have
originated in a country which routinely mass murders its own
citizens?

And speaking of euphemisms, as I did in the post prior to this one,
they're not all used only in regard to Islamist fascists. I'm struck
by the continued use by the press of the term "tainted" to describe
deliberate chemical poisonings. It never ends.

It's time to completely boycott China.
