Embargo of the RW - Important Information |
|
After looking at many articles and other pieces of information, I have discovered that the RW is funded about 75%-90% by only 5 things!
Coors Oil Tobacco (esp. Phillip Morris) Pharmaceuticals (esp. Eli Lilly) Private Funders (esp. Scaife)
A mass boycott of the RW is going to be easy if everybody knew about this.

It may be necessary to find out if there are pharma alternatives manufactured by blue companies.
The beer is the only easy one.
Scaife just keeps on giving.

7. People could also stop smoking |

It's more than just Phillip Morris that supports the RW. There is actually a Coalition of Tobacco companies that support RW interests.

I know buying oil is inescapable, that is why I believe just buying less is better.

Don't stop buying oil products, I said it is inescapable, I think it is possible to buy less.
Also I shouldn't have said all Pharmaceutical companies support the RW, Eli Lilly does most of that, and that is the one that deserves the most attention.
