Big Bucks, Big Pharma: Marketing Disease & Pushing Drugs

Created on Wednesday, 28 July 2010 20:38

Big Bucks, Big Pharma – Marketing Disease & Pushing Drugs (2004) 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.

 

Focusing on the industry's marketing practices, media scholars and health professionals help viewers understand the ways in which Direct-To-Consumer pharmaceutical advertising and promotion to doctors, glamorize and normalize the use of prescription medication. Combined, these industry practices shape how both patients and doctors understand and relate to disease and treatment.

 

Ultimately, Big Bucks, Big Pharma challenges the viewers to ask important questions about the consequences of relying on a for-huge-profit industry for their health and well-being. The viewer needs to be aware of the fact that for the pharmaceutical industry disease is ultimately a good thing…  It's their only source of income and reason for existing.

In this clip from 1971 the late and great Howard Zinn defends the importance of civil disobedience against social injustices. What's astounding is that the comments he made then, still apply to the world today. 

In the video below actor Matt Damon reads an excerpt from a speech that Howard Zinn gave in 1970 as part of a debate on civil disobedience.

 

The Ugly Fascist Truth About ‘Net Neutrality’

Remarkable how few recognize this as the pivotal event that it is. The slippery slope to full-on fascism continues to get greased, while the mind-numbed constituents are completely apathetic. In the now infamous Orwellian doublespeak of the New World Order (i.e. left is right, right is wrong, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others), the FCC proposes rules for an Open Internet. Let me say that again, rules for an Open Internet.

And I'll say it in yet another way for those who still don't get it: they want to put restrictions on the way your ISP provides your internet services, so you have "more internet freedom". Has your BS bell started ringing yet?

If you're not zombified from watching television, you can send your complaints to the FCC via this link:

This is without question one of the best Wake Up! documentaries that I have seen recently. It covers pretty much everything from 9/11 and lying politicians to The New World Order. If you are unfamiliar with an item that is mentioned in the film and you'd like to know more type it into the search box in the sidebar so you can find some additional information. Chances are that I already posted another documentary with the same topic elsewhere. If you can't find anything here try YouTube or a search engine.

Other than the fact that Lou Dobbs is still very much alive this documentary is spot on. Highly recommended viewing.
