Attention, Bloodhounds:

Another episode in the stomach-turning story of how Bill and Hillary Clinton, in Arkansas, set up, defended and profited from a scheme to sell blood plasma from state prisoners. This was known to be an unsound and extremely risky practice, and one banned by the FDA in this country, but a loophole allowed the contaminated blood plasma to be exported. The blood was diseased with AIDS and Hepatitis C. Thus the scheme by the Clintons and their crooked friends spread those diseases all over the world. Of course the contamination soon returned to this country to ruin or end many more lives. The haemophiliacs in America, as in other countries, were decimated.

Oh great. The blood scandal "gift" that keeps on "giving"!

Canada bought some of Governor Clinton's friend's program's contaminated blood, and Canadians were infected with HIV.

MiaT kept the details...iirc...

Does anyone have a ping list for the Bloodhounds? If so, please alert them.

The article is interesting in that the class action lawsuit targets American pharms, which supposedly -- har, har -- had nothing to do with it. It was, as I recall, illegal for them to use prison blood. But who, then, kept the price of plasma sky-high year after year, through all six of Bubba's gubernatorial terms and beyond?

Check this out. People here at FR have been on top of this scandal for years now. Odd how the press has no interest in covering this....... funny how that has worked with so many heavy-hitting players involved.

Suggestion - contact Mike Carnahan, the Foundation President, and give him all this "ammo".
