• by Jonathan W. Emord In this book veteran constitutional lawyer Jonathan W. Emord explains the intellectual origins of freedom of speech from the Age of Enlightenment to the founding of the American republic. Today government censorship of health information worldwide relies on the same mechanisms of prior restraint that were used in Europe from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Emord shows this censorship to be a byproduct of government efforts to protect state-sponsored drug monopolies from competition. The protectionism locks out of the market information indispensable to human health to fill the coffers of drug companies and to establish drugs to be the only lawful means to prevent and treat disease when an enormous body of science reveals dietary ingredients to have disease prevention and treatment effects. Convinced that speech freedom and health are lost due to government censorship, Emord explains how litigation and legislation can be used to bring down the barriers and give the public access to information that can save lives. Jonathan W. Emord is an attorney who practices constitutional and administrative law before the federal courts and agencies. He served as an attorney at the Federal Communications Commission during the Reagan Administration and is a strong and consistent advocate of individual rights and limited government. He has defeated the Food and Drug Administration in federal court a remarkable seven times, six on First Amendment grounds, including in the landmark Pearson v. Shalala decision. Congressman Ron Paul describes Jonathan as "a hero of the health freedom revolution." A must read ~ Editor, NewsWithViews.com Binding: Hardcover Pages: 190 Publisher: Sentinel Press (2010)

    The Rise of Tyranny

    $24.95 $19.95
    Jonathan W Emord Jonathan Emord is a constitutional lawyer whose many legal victories over the federal government have exposed the true nature of bureaucracy’s unchecked, unprincipled, and unconstitutional expansion. He is a man who has devoted his life to reversing the tide that draws us closer to the abyss of medical tyranny (and, by extension, totalitarianism) and to winning back our health freedom and all the other freedoms that constitute individual liberty. ~ Will Block The Rise of Tyranny brilliantly explains how we arrived at the sordid state where our Constitution is in exile, and how we are all increasingly held hostage to the behemoth of a multi-headed bureaucracy that threatens not only our well-being but also our survival. Excerpt from the book: "We can perceive abuses whenever agency actions sacrifice fundamental rights to life, liberty, and property to yield outcomes favorable to a preferred regulatee. At FDA, the agency's Commissioner has repeatedly approved drugs that the agency's own medical reviewers have deemed too unsafe to enter the market, thus favoring the pharmaceutical company proponent of the drug over the American public. The results have been catastrophic, leading to tens of thousands of deaths and injuries. Likewise, FDA maintains a pervasive censorship over therapeutic claims for foods and dietary supplements to ensure that the drug industry enjoys a federally enforced monopoly on the right to communicate treatment information. At DEA, the agency's Administrato has driven out of existence some 50 independent supplies of cough and cold remedies, resulting in the loss of thousands of jobs, actions that financially benefit drug company suppliers to traditional pharmacies. At CMS, the agency has permitted its contract carriers to audit and demand reimbursement of Medicare funds from practitioners who supply non-Medicare covered services, do not bill Medicare for those services, and are nonetheless denied Medicare reimbursement for the services Medicare does cover - all on the basis that the practitioners have provided non-Medicare covered and non-billed services that Medicare disfavors".
