THE TYLENOL MAFIA
On Wednesday, September 29, 1982, seven unsuspecting victims swallowed pain pills manufactured by the “company you can trust.” Within minutes they became confused, dizzy and then collapsed before dying from a massive dose of cyanide that had been put inside the Extra Strength Tylenol capsules.
Johnson & Johnson’s handling of the Tylenol crisis has been ingrained into the psyche of American consumers as the gold standard of crisis management. A standard widely accepted as a model of righteous corporate behavior to which all companies should aspire. But the official version of the Tylenol tamperings is a fable that fails to recognize the true story of deceit, corruption and fraud.
THE TYLENOL MAFIA will expose Johnson & Johnson’s handling of the Tylenol crisis for what it was; a well managed campaign of deception that diverted suspicion away from J&J and Jewel Companies Inc. It was the suppression of evidence and outright lies that saved the Tylenol brand, not forthright action or a legitimate concern for American consumers. Buried in the cover up is the shocking truth about the vulnerability of the distribution network, the reliance on mafia controlled companies and workers to distribute medicine, and the utter incompetence of the FDA.
Almost nothing you’ve ever heard about the Tylenol murders is supported by the facts. There was no madman terrorizing Chicago area stores in 1982. The Tylenol capsules were not poisoned in local retail outlets as claimed by law enforcement officials and J&J executives. The Tylenol capsules were adulterated in the channel of distribution by rational evil-doers while under the control of Johnson & Johnson or Jewel Companies Inc. Any suggestion that officials at the highest level of J&J, Jewel and the FDA do not know this to be true is preposterous.
Lurking within THE TYLENOL MAFIA is a villan more evil than the Tylenol killer himself.

Six months after FBI raids, still no arrests in Tylenol murders

.... All of this provides fodder for www.americanfraud.com, a Web site dedicated to the Tylenol case that is researched and written by ex-Johnson & Johnson sales representative Scott Bartz.
Bartz, a New Jersey resident, has spent years extensively researching the case and believes there's a massive cover-up involved. He's written a book on the topic and is now shopping for a publisher.
Not only does Bartz suspect there were more Tylenol poisoning victims, he also believes police overlooked certain suspects.
"I don't want to accuse anyone of the crime ... but they've embedded in everyone's mind that James Lewis is the Tylenol man, when they don't have a stitch of evidence," Bartz said. "I'm not trying to suggest it's a wide, organized conspiracy. It's where everyone wanted to protect themselves and had their own interests."
Is it just a waste of time?
THE ENEMY
by employee number 152383
If the enemy would chase me
I could run
The further I ran the stronger I would become
until I escaped the enemy
And I would be free
But the enemy will not chase me
The enemy will not kill me
And I am a slave
You can say that I've grown bitter
But if this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
There's a night of judgement coming
But I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices in the tower of song
