Train Wreck of the Week
Federal prosecutors in Boston are investigating possible criminal charges against Schering-Plough, Johnson and Johnson, Wyeth and Bristol-Myers Squibb for sending unsolicited checks to doctors for $10,000 to over $100,000 for consulting, which really were for prescribing their medicines. Doctors, who demonstrated disloyalty by testing other company’s drugs, or even talking favorably about them, risked being barred from the money stream. The checks are payoffs. Patients are being subscribed drugs they do not need or that cheaper substitutes are available for. Last month Pfizer paid a $430 million fine and pleaded guilty to criminal charges. Astra-Zeneca paid $355 million last year and TAP Pharmaceuticals paid $875 million in 2001. As you can see just like in the banking, investment banking and stock brokerage industry these people defraud and steal millions and billions of dollars and no one goes to jail. There are two sets of rules, one for the elitists and one for us.

1. excerpts
"Considering all this leverage, America is headed for a very hard landing irregardless of what Wall Street and George and the neocons tell you. This time there is no cushion and your financial future cannot be taken lightly."

------------------------------------
When you comes right down to it Iraq and the situation of the entire Middle East is really about who will control the oil and the governments of the Middle East. Will it be the elitists or will it be the Muslims who live there? Saddam was a collaborator with the elitists and no friend of Islam. The Islamists know this and they know they want to fill the vacuum. Americans are hated more than ever in the Middle East and the elitist pawns in Saudi Arabia are close to being overthrown. Due to this, Americans and Israelis are not safe anywhere in the world. There is a war of civilizations between Islam and Christian America. When politicians cannot make the economy work, they have wars just as we predicted they would in Afghanistan and Iraq long ago. The only way the US can now come out of this fiasco is to allow Iraqis and Saudis to govern, remove our troops and give justice to the Palestinians. If we do not do that, we will pay a terrible price.

Saudi Arabia, which has been producing 9.1 million barrels per day of oil since June 1, says now that oil is off 15% in two weeks that $36.00 a barrel is a fair price. OPEC meets in three weeks to consider a 500,000 B/P/D increase. The big question really is, will the Saudi government be overthrown, or will George and the neocons invade before it happens?
