Would the US government let Jesus cure cancer?

Would the US government let Jesus cure cancer?

by Jon Rappoport


In the 1990s, I watched a federal trial in a Los Angeles courtroom.  The defendant
was charged with selling medical drugs without a license.

The defendant was prepared to argue that a) the substance he was selling was naturally
produced in the body and b) it was effective.

The prosecution moved to exclude such testimony, on the grounds that it was irrelevant.

The judge agreed.  Therefore, the trial was nasty, brutish, and short.  The defendant
was found guilty and sentenced to prison for several years.

This is how the federal bureaucracy operates.  "Do you have a government-issued
license to heal?  No?  You're a criminal."

I believe that if Jesus of Nazareth were walking the Earth today, in the United
States, he would be arrested on the same grounds.

This would be particularly so if he were curing cancer.

The trillion-dollar cancer industry survives and makes its money by treating cancer,
so curing it would be a major threat.

Imagine this extreme case: in a stadium packed with 50,000 people who have been
diagnosed with cancer, a man waves his hand and cures all of them in a few seconds.

Now he is threatening the profits of many companies, to say nothing of the power
of the government, which backs the chemo-radiation-surgery monopoly to the hilt.

So he is arrested.  He is put on trial.  He opts to defend himself without an attorney.
He tells the court that curing cancer is no crime.

The prosecuting attorney objects.  "Your Honor," he says, "whether or not this man
has cured cancer is beside the point.  He has no license to practice medicine. 
That is why we are here today.  We are simply establishing that a) he was practicing
medicine and b) he has no government-issued license.  That is the scope of this
proceeding."

The judge agrees.  The verdict is decided.  Guilty.

Of course, on another front, the major media, who depend for their existence on
pharmaceutical advertising, take the ball and run with it.  The networks and major
newspapers seek out "experts," who emphatically state that what a man calling himself
Jesus of Nazareth "performed" in the stadium was mere hypnotism.  It was all a placebo
effect.  Whatever sudden "remissions" may have occurred are just temporary.  Tragically,
the cancers will return.

Not only that, these 50,000 people have effectively been sidetracked and diverted
from seeking "real care from real doctors."  With chemo, with radiation, with surgery,
they would have stood a chance of surviving and living long normal lives.

Other media pundits send up this flag: "Many of those present in the stadium were
bitter clingers to their religion.  They refuse to accept science.  They are living
in the past.  They favor superstition over real medical care.  In fact, they are
threatening the whole basis of Obamacare, since other confused and deluded Americans
may now turn away from doctors and seek snake-oil salesmen and preachers for healing."

From the highest perches of political power in this country, the word  quietly goes
out to the media: don't follow up on those people who were in the stadium; don't
try to track them; don't compile statistics on their survival rates; move on to
other stories (distractions); let this whole madness die down.

But among the citizenry, an awareness spreads: the government is controlling healing
through its issuance of licenses.  That's how the government is essentially protecting
one form of "healing" and enabling it to become an all-encompassing cartel.

What would be the alternative or the adjunct to licenses?

Contracts.

Contracts are agreements entered into by consenting adults, who assume responsibility
for the outcomes.  In the case of healing, a contract would specify that people
have a right to be wrong.

Let's say two consenting adults, Jim and Frank, agree to allow Frank to treat Jim
for his arthritis with water from a well on Frank's land.

The two men acknowledge that no liability will be attached to the outcome.  In other
words, whether Jim get better or gets worse, no one is going file a suit.  No one
is going to go to the government for redress of wrongs.

The well water may be wonderful or it may be completely useless.  Both men understand
and acknowledge that.  But they exercise a right to try the treatment, because they
are free.

Immediately people say, "This is ridiculous.  Water can't cure arthritis.  Frank
is cheating Jim.  Jim is a victim.  He needs to see a doctor.  He needs to go on
arthritis drugs."

No, Jim doesn't have to do anything.  He is free.

To put it another way, Jim has the right to be right or wrong.  It's his decision,
which is beyond the scope of any authority.

If government tries to remove that right from all of us, it is essentially saying
it knows what is correct, it knows what is true, it knows what we need and require,
and it's going to give it to us even if it has to shove it down our throats.  Does
that sound like freedom to you?

Perhaps you're familiar with the raid on James Stewart and Rawesome Foods in Los
Angeles.  Rawesome was a club.  People joined voluntarily, so they could get access
to raw milk.  The government wants to limit access to raw milk.  Prosecutors are
apparently claiming Mr. Stewart has no license to sell raw milk.

A club like this rests on a contract.  Consenting adults agree to buy and ingest
a product.  They assume full responsibility.  They don't care what the government
says or thinks about the product.

And you see, that's the problem for the government.  They can't allow these clubs
to spread.  If they did, contracts would begin to supersede licenses.  People would
wake up and realize they have a way to circumvent the whims, wishes, and arbitrary
authority of the federal government.

A way through which they assert their freedoms and rights beyond what government
claims.

If a man calling himself Jesus of Nazareth lived in the United States today, and
if he went around curing cancer, he would be arrested.  He wouldn't be charged
with blasphemy or treason.  He would be charged with something much simpler and
more mundane: practicing medicine without a license.

And he would be convicted and sentenced.

Because the government, in its throne of corruption, wants to protect its proprietary
and illegal interests.
