The charges, which also involve accusations of war crimes against US President George W. Bush, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and other top political figures, are contained in a detailed complaint filed with the ICC by Dr. Mathias Rath. Pharmaceutical companies including Pfizer, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Amgen and Astra Zeneca are accused of deliberately preventing life-saving natural alternatives to drug based treatments from being applied in prevention and cure. A worldwide disinformation campaign undertaken by these companies is said to have caused the death of millions of people. Their role in getting both Bush and Blair into power and in determining the policies of their respective administrations with respect to the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is cited as evidence for a case made for violation of Human Rights.[cont.] It seems almost farfetched. I mean the story. Is this real news? If so it seems a bit conspiratorial, X-Files like even. Still, stranger things and all... Anyone have any corroborative information? It supposedly stretches back to WWI and the Rockefellers. If it is true it does not bode well for immortality anytime soon. I sort of gels with the alleged conspiracy about how Hemp got outlawed for much the same reasons.

Normally supply and demand should govern. I know some will say government involvement is the cause but I tried to imagine if there were none and came up with a cruel irony. As more diseases are cured or otherwise less people get sick, there is less financial base to fund research, in the absence of government subsidy, that would otherwise be spread over many patients prices then go up per patient as demand goes down! So in a free market medical care relies on there being always a steady supply of sick people, the more the better to keep prices low. We all know that the first handheld calculators, while there were few and new were high cost. For a product that costs a million to develop to recoup development costs you can either sell ten to ten people for $100,000 or 100,000 to one hundred thousand people for $10. I must admit not being comfortable with this thought. Help me out here ok? If I'm right then there is, in the long run, little incentive for really radical cures over just ongoing lucrative treatments. James -- Cryonics Institute of Michigan Member!

MY WEBSITE: http://www.geocities.com/~davidpascal/swayze/ Signature Memetic Virus--The worst enemy of those who now or will need medical care is the politician and proselytizing religious fanatic who proscribes what doctors are allowed to prescribe and research, with the consent of their patients. Those who understand this are strongly encouraged to modify this to fit their personality, and add this to their signature file, and organize to recover our freedom from Big Brother. For those who wait until they are sick, it will be too late. Those who suffer from diseases which might have been cured by fetal tissue research or schedule 1 drugs banned by Big Brother, have the right to hold accountable those who sat on their hands or worse, deferred their responsibility for personal and humanity's survival to useless gods and pontificating religious quacks, while they remained ill and dying.
