I had never heard this before and somewhat skeptical this could be true. How could this not have been a major investigative media story back when the media was still in this business?

After a little more internet searching, this is a story that needs to see more sunlight and investigation. Who is Vera Institute?

Today it appears Vera Institute is known as Vera Institute of Justice and involved in Criminal Justice reform. Coinincidence in todays Criminal and social Justice environment?

This is the same Vera Institute that was involved in the Orpan experiments as I find this story from 2008.

quote:
In late 2008, nearly five years after Liam Scheff broke the story of children being used in drug trials in New York City’s ICC Orphanage, the city of New York released its three-million dollar cover-up “investigation” of the events. The official version: 80 children who’d been in trials died (25 during, 55 after), but the drugs ‘could not be to blame.’ How did they know? They didn’t – they didn’t look at drugs, medical records, or interview families or children. They just repeated the official version. The reporter in this news broadcast is Rebecca Myles of WBAI in New York City.

Liam Scheff appears to be the invesitgative reporter who originally broke this story around 2003. This link about Liam Scheffs work includes a BBC documentary about the orphanage story.

Here is an interesting twist. The radio station, WBAI, where the reporter who broke this story worked is now owned by the founder of Vera Institute.

quote:
Louis Schweitzer, a co-founder of Vera Institute for Justice, was a philanthropist in New York City best known for his attempts to reform the city’s justice system. Schweitzer purchased the New York Radio station, WBAI, which he later donated to the Pacifica Foundation, a progressive liberal group of radio stations with ties to the Tides Foundation and the Rockefeller Family Fund. WBAI remains one of the foundation’s five stations. [11]

And look at who elses name surfaces with Vera Institute of Justice. It is littered with every major liberal activist organization promoting the far left agenda we see today.

quote:
Vera Institute of Justice (VIJ) was founded in the 1960s as a project of Louis Schweitzer, an eccentric New York philanthropist and Herbert Sturz, a trustee of George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. [1] [2] Originally known as the Manhattan Bail Project, the organization was founded to help poor New Yorkers satisfy bail conditions they could not afford.

This is where my mind is going on this orphanage story. I can not help but think of the crimes against humanity in the Jewish concentration camps and how the same minded people that lacked human compassion must have used the same logic against this orphans. Then as I dig through this story more and I see Soros name surface. The same Soros that sided with the nazi Germans to help facilitate the suffering of the Jews in the concentration camps.

This orphanage story needs to be investigated in the eyes of today's social Justice lense.
