www.mediaed.org Big Bucks, Big Pharma pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to expose the insidious ways that illness is used, manipulated, and in some instances created, for capital gain.

    I hate Big Pharma; just look at the meds they prescribe to people and how they work on the human body, they do NOT heal anyone.

    Why, because they dont make any money on making people well.

    Take RA for example, my friend and I both got RA at the same time, 28 years ago. She took all their drugs, and is still taking nine 15 mg morphine pills a day and walks with a walker.

    I took the natural path and at 60 I am still riding my horses and feeling great!

    Scientology abuses its members working them 70-130 hrs a wk for slave wages of 40 cents an hr -10 cents an hr if they’re so unlucky to need “rehabilitation” in one of its gulags or concentration camps.

    Children are abused as child slave labor & young women are either coaxed or coerced into getting abortions. It breaks up families & harasses its critics.

    It is a fascist totalitarian organization operating above the law as nothing is as important as Clearing the Planet (taking over the world).

    Scientology claims their cult is compatible with Christianity. This statement is in conflict with the words of their own founder, L. Ron Hubbard (LRH).
    “The whole Christian movement is based on the victim … They won by appealing to victims. We can win by converting victims.”
    - Hubbard Communications Office (HCO) bulletin of 18 July 1959 (under “Historical Note”)

    OT Levels Summary

    Section III OT = OT3 = Incident II. 75 million years ago Xenu commits mass extermination, drops bodies in volcanoes on earth, souls are subjected to 36 days of hypnotic implants which then attach to humans. OT3 is all about auditing out these body thetans.
    OT4 = more body thetans and drugs
    OT5 = even more body thetans and NOTs
    OT6 = how to really audit body thetans out this time
    OT7 = apply what you learned in OT6
    OT8 = a review of above. Not successful? Start all over again!

    They’re marketing their drugs to health professionals because the industry is so highly regulated, that there are very few messages that are allowed to be relayed directly onto the consumer.

    Who would you rather the drug companies market to? The consumer (like you) who knows next to nothing about medicine, or the professional, who is paid to stay informed about the changing landscape of health care?
