Irresponsible
Journalism at its Best
In my last post re the Dr. Kamermans Affair, I concluded with
couple of what were probably perceived to be “Cheap Shots”
against Global News and its’ Health Specialist Jennifer Tryon. The shots might have been
cheap but they concern a neglect of Professional Impartiality and Fairness that
is all too commonplace in the Canadian Media.
A
superficial presentation of allegations as fact with no follow up justification
is a plain betrayal of readers trust. Naturally any clarification and apology
to re-establish the victims’ reputation if innocent is out of the question. The
Press has Papal Infallibility!
The
cost to Dr. Kamermans has been tremendous because it is the plain intention of
Health Canada and the Medical
Profession to ruin him and his practice to scare the shit out of any Doctor who
might be inclined to sign a form for a Patient who might have a real desperate
need.

Global News : Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Ms. Tryon
began with good intent to find the major source of trouble in the Medical
Marijuana system regarding a doctor’s reluctance to sign forms, but then she
got lost.
It started
with a reasonably acceptable recounting of events, and a discovery of a major
corruption at the bottom of the barrel:
A Medical
/Legal Consortium of Lawyers and Doctors charging extortionary fees for a
simple signature on a basically simpleton proof form.
It’s an unfortunate exhibition of
professional greed by both.
Then she
unexplainably changes focus from:
- Exposing a corrupt and immoral collection of
sinners, to
- Assisting in the unwarranted Persecution of Dr.
Rob. Kamermans.
She began
her article:
Marie Cole
was desperate for help, her doctors refused to sign her Form B. They made her
feel guilty for just asking them. She finally found help: a Dr. Ira Price who
would sign.
She had
unknowingly made an appointment with the Law firm of Criminal Lawyer Ron
Marzel. He has formed a network of doctors willing to sign for an Application,
but only if the Price is Right. The forms themselves are so simple a
child can fill them out but due to the stigma surrounding pot and absence of
guidelines on what to prescribe it for, most doctors refuse to sign the Health
Canada paperwork for a licence. For a $1000 referral fee Mr. Marzel will fill
in her forms A & B and provide a list of the Vampires eligible for her
bloodletting. It’s now a bidding war among them.
How does
this differ from a scum sucking Shyster fronting a bunch of Ambulance Chasers?
At this point Ms. Tryon
concluded her first article but readers expected an exposé of this legal
medical charlatan game to follow. It didn’t. Somehow she forgets about the
Marzel Cartel and changes direction. Instead of focussing on the illegal dealer
problem and pursuing the Cartel and all those anonymous dealers she can find,
she switches to assisting in the Character Assassination of Dr. Rob. Kamermans.
Global News
: Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Jennifer
somehow managed to locate one anonymous marijuana dealer, whose qualifications
to comment are impeccable. He has 73 plants, can’t use it all himself, sells to
the street, and it’s all legal because got his License with a purchased
signature from a Medical parasite. Perfect.
Rumour has
it she advertised in Craig’s List for a Licensed Medical Marihuana Grower
willing to o brag about screwing the system for all the other Medical Marijuana
Licensees? Ratfink met all the
qualifications but in addition to her shit list, he had one qualification she
was too dumb to spot.
He had SEVENTY
THREE !!! plants.
If it's all
legal at 5 plants per gram then his License is for a 15 gram per day allowance.
Marihuana is harsh to smoke and it’s 100%
Fibre!
. You can’t smoke that much, and
If he’s eating it he’s
leaving a trail of Elephant dung balls!
Obvious Questions
Global News Never Asked!
- How the hell can someone at Health Canada authorize a license for this
amount?
- If not the Minister, who besides the Minister has the
power to issue such a license?
- Who signed these ridiculous allowances?
- How many other Licenses for excessive and unreasonable
amounts (anything over a 10 gram limit) have been authorized? Now that is
really “SECRET”
It’s not
only Secret it is Commonplace because he got his the
same way Sam Mellace got one for 60 grams/day that he brags about that on his
website
Sam claims
he needs that much for his skin and liver but that’s just more bullshit.
He can make
enough Magic Grease to lubricate himself inside and out many times over. He’s
developing a business and somebody’s “greasing the way”!
“I have the
largest medical marijuana licence in Canada,” Mellace said of the 60 grams of pot
he’s legally entitled
to daily.
“I am hoping to become Canada’s first private-sector provider of
medicinal marijuana.”
Not if I can help it.
Ratfink speaks again: "I came to the doctor's office
prepared with cash in my pocket ... I wouldn't have the licence if I didn't pay
that $250.
Now there is a
sudden shift in direction.
The Cartel’s extortionary Corporate
Corruption somehow gets forgotten (or forgiven?)
Suddenly some Dr. R. Kamermans gets
appointed the target!
Why? Who is he?
No one has
mentioned his name up to this point: Ratfink
didn’t mention him!
Suddenly
Jennifer presents him as the sponsor of 5000 potential criminals jetting around
the country to all these signing clinics? Some guy named Chris Lawson claimed
he attended one of these clinics with nearly 20 other people for a fee of $250.
It’s all bullshit A verbal
allegation with no supporting data.
A question for Jennifer:
You got the Who? and the What? But
somehow you missed:
When did this happen
(dates)?
Where did this happen
(Cities, Towns, Hotels)?
and
Why didn’t you include
some fact in your Fiction?
Suddenly
the questions change, become confrontational and accusatory, and attempt to
assign Dr. Kamermans responsibilities for Personal Information that is
completely divorced from Medical Practice.
Global News asked
Were they really patients? Or were they criminals?
The
Marihuana Medical Access Program requires all applicants for a Class D
Designated Grower license to provide a Criminal Record Check. Health Canada simply can’t be bothered with minor
details like that for Personal Growth Licenses. Why should a doctor waste his time on
determining Criminal Propensity when the Government doesn’t think it’s
important?
I don’t
understand how this crap got on the air. Global News is not stupid and doesn’t
miss details or change directions in midstream as a normal course of affairs. I
suspect there was a phone call from a VIP in Ottawa to a VIP at Global telling them to back off!
They are facing the risk of the same SWAT Team raid on the Corporate Offices
and the confiscation of their entire files just like they did Dr. Kamermans.
The Harper
Law and Order boys can apparently invade the privacy and destroy the medical
confidentiality of 4000 patients with impunity by confiscating their Medical
Files. A slight change in tactics and they could ruin Global with Legal costs
on the basis of allegations from unknown sources. That is what they are doing
to Dr. Kamermans. They’re giving him treatment that will serve as a deterrent
not only to Press pursuing the truth, but also scare the shit out of any Doctor
displaying any support for Medical Marijuana.
Enough for
today, more to follow
