Karl Grossman wrote âThe Poison Conspiracyâ to expose the deliberate acts of the Reagan Administration to place full control of federal regulatory agencies including the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Food and Drug Administration, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in the hands of the corporations that these government agencies were charged with regulating. This book was published in 1983. The Republican administrations which followed the Reagan era took similar actions. We have a government that is totally controlled by corporate interests. The chemical companies, the manufacturing companies, the food production companies, the financial corporations... call the shots in Washington and as a result the environment becomes ever more polluted and the diseases caused by pollution, including cancer, mental illness and Alzheimer's Disease take a heavier toll on Americans.
Karl advocates for education of the American pubic concerning these critical matters of decision-making at the top levels of government and the disease burden that is imposed by giving all of the power invested in the federal government to those who are ruled by greed and whose only interest is to ruthlessly exploit the Mother Earth and the children of the Earth. The most important thing we can do right now is educate large numbers of people about the corporate control that shapes every part of our existence and then use the power of these large numbers to take all of the power away from the corporate overlords.
