henrymakow.com – Jan 31, 2021

Whistleblowers aren’t always celebrated.
Sometimes they’re crushed.

Sunday Jan 31 – “Thank you for contacting me Henry.  Every day I read your website and absorb what I can. Also every day, I apply for jobs only to get rejection emails from these contacts.  Yet I’ll keep trying to find employment.  Now I live with disabled veterans and I help a few here.  And I want to thank you for the money you send me.  Every little bit helps.”

Dan Abshear, 54, left, was making $150K as a pharma rep. He has been destitute since 2006 when he exposed his employer, Novartis, for bribing doctors to prescribe drugs. His wife divorced him and alienated his daughter. 

I am raising $5000 for Dan. Here is how you can help. Big Pharma is not our friend. Dan had the moral courage to expose them.

“There is a pathologically intimate relationship between corporations and the U.S. government- their collusion is expressed in the revolving door. “

In the Spring of 2006, I became a pharmaceutical corporate whistle blower.

In February of that year, I had recruited a law firm with experience in pharmaceutical whistle blower lawsuits in Boston, which is a top place to file and submit pharmaceutical whistle blower cases.  They agreed to represent me after I submitted a ten page document to them I composed- explaining why the wrongdoing of my employer, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, needed to be addressed.  They represented me on complete contingency, which meant that they would not be paid if they did not succeed in the whistle blower lawsuit they were submitting for me.

The law firm submitted the whistle blower lawsuit against Novartis in April of 2006.  And it was filed under seal, which means that I and my legal council cannot discuss the case whatsoever.  It’s a trick played by the D.O.J., to eliminate the possibility of media contact.

I made a trip to Boston in July of 2006 to be asked hundreds of questions by various relevant government entities, such as the department of health and human services.  Also, in the center of a large table in a conference room, was a phone, with numerous attorney generals from various states- all there to hear my answers to the hundreds of questions I was asked one day, for 8 hours.  I spoke with complete knowledge of the evidence, and with total honesty.
