Worked undercover at Johnson & Johnson
For nine years, Judith Doetterl kept a secret.
She never said boo about the drug she was selling or the allegations that her employer, a pharmaceutical giant, was wining and dining doctors to boost sales.
She never told anyone she was working undercover with federal investigators or that she was one of five employees at the center of one of the biggest pharmaceutical whistle-blower cases ever.
Monday, the Buffalo woman went public with her tale of intrigue, risk and great reward.
“They wanted to right a wrong,” Daniel C. Oliverio, Doetterl’s lawyer, said of the five former employees in the case. “To this day, their primary goal was, ‘This must end.’ ”
Overnight, Doetterl and the others – including Camille McGowan, Oliverio’s other client in the case – went from little-known former sales representatives for Johnson & Johnson to whistle-blowers now credited with exposing one of the biggest pharmaceutical scams in years. Continue reading
Editor’s Notes: 
Its gradually emerged in recent months that the Food and Drug Administration not only spied on its employees, but did so on a massive scale collecting tens of thousands of employee emails to one another, as well as to journalists, members of Congress and congressional staff workers. The FDA also intercepted draft statements to the Office of Special Counsel, which investigates complaints of whistleblower harassment and reprisal. This monitoring, authorized by the agencys chief counsel, was clearly a deliberate policy of the highest levels of FDA leadership.

FAIR USE NOTICE:
People want to trust that their so-called elected government is doing the right thing when it passes regulations to enhance public safety. When the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed in 1906 a new watchdog agency, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), was born. It would be many years before we as a nation had such luxuries as refrigeration, sanitary food processing standards, and good manufacturing processes (GMP), so in many respects, this law was necessary. So, what exactly does the FDA do? 
It is time that the actions of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) speak for themselves and Americans began to question their own absorbent use and blind-loyalty to FDA approved drugs. If not, you too may become a FDA statistic. The FDA’s financial ties to “big-pharma” have caused millions of preventable deaths over the last 30 years.
Surely at one time or another, you have heard the expression, “Noblesse Oblige,” usually bandied about by some liberal as justification for yet another entitlement program. The meaning of the phrase has been bastardized by the Kennedy clan to read, “To whom much is given, much is expected,” which is taken from the Gospel of Luke. Translated from the French, “Noblesse Oblige,” is closer to “Rank has its obligations.” Perhaps there is no real difference.
