The 15 Most Devastating Truths About the PSA Screening Disaster
Lies are Unbekoming | October 26, 2025
The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test has screened 30 million American men annually for over three decades. The man who discovered PSA in 1970, Richard Ablin, now calls mass screening “a public health disaster.” Two landmark 2012 studies found no survival benefit from radical surgery compared to watchful waiting. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force concluded PSA screening does more harm than good. Yet the $3 billion annual industry continues largely unabated.
These revelations emerge from three insider accounts: Ablin’s The Great Prostate Hoax, urologist Anthony Horan’s The Rise and Fall of the Prostate Cancer Scam, and oncologist Mark Scholz’s Invasion of the Prostate Snatchers. Together they document how a test meant to monitor existing cancer patients became a screening juggernaut that has left millions of men incontinent, impotent, or dead from unnecessary treatment.
The numbers are staggering. Since 1987, when PSA screening exploded nationwide, over one million American men have undergone radical prostatectomies. Studies show 40 to 50 men must be diagnosed and treated to prevent one death from prostate cancer. The other 39 to 49 men receive no benefit but face permanent side effects. Medicare and the Veterans Administration fund most of this treatment, pouring billions into a system that prominent urologists privately acknowledge has failed.
What follows are the most damaging truths about how PSA screening became entrenched despite overwhelming evidence of harm, why it persists against scientific consensus, and what this reveals about American medicine’s inability to abandon lucrative practices even when they damage patients. … continue

Thought Arthur S had been reading my mind, so heartily did I agree with and applaud his every assertion, right up to where he stopped hunting & took off chasing rabbits: “The 9/11 Lie destroyed the American economy and the American Constitution.”
Obviously, the US economy still exists. That Mr Silber chooses to style it and the Constitution “American” indicates to me that he hasn’t completely freed himself from the koolaid version of reality.
There are a lot of factors and agents impacting the US economy negatively besides 911. While 911 did greatly facilitate the gutting of the Bill of Rights, there were/are other factors involved in the process.
What a shame, to see such an excellent piece of writing ruined by a few ill-considered sentences at the end.

To make Arthur’s claim work one must ascribe the economic harm done by the diversion of trillions to war making to 9/11. Not such a stretch when one considers that 9/11 was the essential pretext for the wars.
It is fact that federal military and security spending has doubled and that states have been required to finance the deployment of national guard units as well, putting State budgets in jeopardy.
Also, one could blame the war on Iraq for the Fed’s decision to lower interest rates to all time historic lows for years on end. This allowed for the illusion of affluence while the economy was being undermined. Of course it also exacerbated what was already a created bubble in the real estate market.
Arthur has just connected a few extra dots. The 9/11 lie may not have single-handedly ruined the economy but it sure facilitated it.

I would like to forward you the article just received from James Petras, entitled “The “Global Crisis of Capitalism”: Whose Crisis, Who Profits?”.
It covers the areas where I found Mr Silber’s analysis wanting, while corroborating the many points I found praiseworthy.
I don’t see any “contact” address or link so I’m trying to contact you this way. “Please advise”?
BTW, on Sept 11 2001, at about 11:AM PDT I emailed a friend and mentioned Remember the Maine, the Reichstag Fire, Tonkin Gulf & a few other false flag ops. I spent some months following 911T sites/blogs/mailing lists, but eventually realized that nothing would come of it except a great hobby similar to the JFK and Area 51 hobbies.
So I turned my attention back to revolutionary politics.

◦”To make Arthur’s claim work one must ascribe the economic harm done by the diversion of trillions to war making to 9/11.”
Exactly. “911” was the “essential pretext”, but not the cause behind the diversion of trillions to warmaking.
Second sentence: simultaneity does not prove causation.
Third: I suppose one could do that, but one would be mistaken. The Fed’s decision on interest rates was driven by more than the decision to attack Iraq. Both decisions came about because of the “gradual coup” by which the Zionist Power Configuration took control of US government policy. (The Federal Reserve and Goldman Sachs are both components of the ZPC).
Arthur did manage to connect some of the dots, but let his “American” conditioning obfuscate others.

It is true that the deregulation and liberalization of banking as well as the off-shoring of jobs had been in the works for decades. However, 9/11 did play a pivotal role in the financial deterioration of the past decade.
Yes Arthur’s claim is overly sweeping, but that does not make it devoid of value. Accept it for what it is, a brief exclamation.
Likewise, the constitution had already been trashed by the war on drugs. But that fact does not diminish the role 9/11 played in bringing us now to the point where the state has complete authority to assassinate us with no due process involved, or administratively detain us indefinitely.

Thanks for pointing to the address.
Fixation on 911 seems to produce a kind of tunnel vision in most of the aficionados. So many are satisfied with explanations that don’t get to the roots of the problem, and leave their illusions about the economic system intact. In particular most seem to despise the lower classes and darker “races”. It IS gratifying to see that some now are able to connect the dots between that key myth-making operation and the Zionist Entity, but that’s too much for most of them even now.
From what I was able to glean, most 911 Truthers voted for Obama. Hopefully they won’t do that again — ?
BTW, thanks for all the great information you keep sending:)
It’s past my bedtime, will check on you in the morning:)
