It has profound implications. I was a Research Fellow in Cancer and Hematology at USC years ago. I saw how men could be flattered when fed compliments and offered prestigious posts. It also was true that the drug companies were funding clinical "research" studies. The companies involved doctors, not only in the medical center, but in private practice as well. The studies were set up so as to compare their brand (non-X) to brand X (inferior stuff, usually generic,) or to sugar cubes (placebo.) The payment for such an "investigation" was very good. To many if not most doctors, it seemed like a small compromise in their integrity. After all, what the company was demonstrating wasn't untrue; it was the way the results were to be used: The companies then could say that "95% of all doctors prefer..." you get the picture. Conceivably, it wouldn't be a great step to involve people at the Medical Centers, who were not above making a buck. How much of a subsequent leap would it be to use mind-altering drugs, or, if the results didn't exactly turn out the way you wanted, why you could fudge a little bit. You see in the papers more and more often, that some prestigious researcher was found to be publishing fraudulant data. I never saw that sort of thing when I was at the Center. I can give you simpler example than this. Have you ever seen an advertisement for some prescription drug, (not over the counter) recommended by, say the President of the College of Gastroenterology? I have. What he is attesting to isn't false, really. It just happens to be a conclusion which not only is suspect, but also pressures the rank and file doctors. When the patients come in and say "I want you to start me on that medicine I saw on TV" etc. It is so subtle. To paraphrase Ayn Rand: "Decadence is not effected through one heinous act. It is made by pennies and smiles." --David ************************************************************** MINDCONTROL-L Mind Control and Psyops Mailing List To unsubscribe or subscribe: send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text: "unsubscribe MINDCONTROL-L" or "subscribe MINDCONTROL-L".
