What’s Here
 
While commercial industries are quite necessary for modern living, they can be huge engines of control and greed. The need for ever increasing market share and profit through growth, and acquisition is often a breeding ground for corruption. Large multinational media firms are a key power asset. It includes the programming, distribution and marketing of information that shapes perceptions. The financial industry, which includes the Federal Reserve and central banks, are extremely influential organizations that deserve close scrutiny. And the health industry, which includes pharmaceuticals, is generally not always out to improve health or cure diseases. It’s far too much about profits, even at the cost of health.        
 
What’s the Interest
 
Large scale disruptions are occurring to the healthy functioning of governing bodies - for profit, and at times - mutual benefit. There is a suppression of information, technologies, and discoveries beneficial to society, but contrary to industry profit making or interests. It should be understood that in a free capitalist market the preference is not competitive spirit, but domination and monopoly. The collaboration of powerful transnational  industries and governments results in tremendous impacts to society and a corruption of government that too often shapes law making and policies, in addition to curbing prudent corporate regulations. When it comes to mass media corporations, ask yourself at least these two questions..
  • If, for example, there was large scale corruption, or immense conflicts of interests in the mass media industry that would shake the public trust, who do you think would tell you about it?
  • Are large corporations (dominating all of mass media) the only voice worth listening to?

There is much to understand about how mass media omits news via self-censorship, generates propaganda and how facts tend to become official just because they were uttered by an authority figure. It’s important to know who is at the controls and why. We must recognize the mutually beneficial relationships media giants share with government and corporate clients.

Health versus profit. The corruption at the FDA, and the infiltration of health, medical, research and education associations by the interests of large pharmaceuticals and health treatment industries. The science and education of health has also been corrupted due to research grants and funding coming from corporations who have vested interests in results advantageous to themselves. Health education and continued learning by practicing doctors are also often funded and run by firms hired by ‘big pharma’ to recommend treatments and solutions  using their own patented products. Drugs are being pushed at an alarming rate on TV and other mass media.

 

Quotes quotes

“When the Speaker's gavel comes down, it's intended to open the People's House, and lately it's looking like the Auction House - whether it's an energy bill that gives more than $8 billion to the oil and gas interests while oil's at $64 a barrel, whether it's a corporate tax bill solving a $5 billion problem with a $150 billion solution, whether it's a pharmaceutical, prescription drug bill where the industry gave $132 million and walked away with $135 billion in additional profits.”

 Rahm Emanuel, US Congress (D-IL)
 
”We are moving rapidly in the direction of a tiny handful of giant corporations controlling virtually everything that the ordinary American sees, hears or reads.”
 
Bernie Sanders, US Congress, April 2002 (I-VT) Read Article
 
“From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has already been solved. After all, we already have a drug which can be sold at the incredible price of $8,000 an annual dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the market by actually curing anyone.”
 
Barbara Ehrenreich, author, columnist
 
“All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.”
 
Noam Chomsky, Linguist (MIT), Cognitive Scientist, Author, Philospher, Political Activist
 
“I think it is absolutely essential in a democracy to have competition in the media, a lot of competition, and we seem to be moving away from that.
 
Walter Cronkite, Journalist, News anchor

 "Mr. Chairman, we have in this Country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the Fed. The Fed has cheated the Government of these United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the Nation's debt. The depredations and iniquities of the Fed has cost enough money to pay the National debt several times over."

"This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it."

"Some people who think that the Federal Reserve Banks [are] United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lender. In that dark crew of financial pirates there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain International propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime."

"These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this Country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid us our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this Country to finance Japan in a war against Russia. They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia, and thus drove a wedge between the allies in World War. They financed Trotsky's passage from New York to Russia so that he might assist in the destruction of the Russian Empire. They fomented and instigated the Russian Revolution, and placed a large fund of American dollars at Trotsky's disposal in one of their branch banks in Sweden so that through him Russian homes might be thoroughly broken up and Russian children flung far and wide from their natural protectors. They have since begun breaking up of American homes and the dispersal of American children. Mr. Chairman, there should be no partisanship in matters concerning banking and currency affairs in this Country, and I do not speak with any."

Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee, who for more than 10 years brought formal charges on May 23, 1933 against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank system, The Controller of the Currency and the Secretary of United States Treasury for numerous criminal acts, including but not limited to, CONSPIRACY, FRAUD, UNLAWFUL CONVERSION, AND TREASON. The petition for Articles of Impeachment was thereafter referred to the Judiciary Committee and has yet to be acted on.
