Reuters supplies the global business community and news media
with a range of products including real-time financial data,
transaction systems, access to numeric and textual historical
databases, news and pictures. In my view they are the strongest
news collection agency in the world, and they supply the majority
of the news you hear on the radio, see on TV or read in the
paper. They are also a major source of news for my Web site
and my blog.
Three years ago Glaxo Wellcome-SmithKline merged with Beecham
to create the world's
largest drug company. This company is one of the primary
distributors of hepatitis
B vaccine, which I frequently warn about.
Well, a Texas attorney provided me with some documentation
that shows a strong link between Glaxo and Reuters. As shown
on the GlaxoSmithKline
Web site, Sir Christopher Hogg is Glaxo's non-executive
chairman. Sir Christopher Hogg was born in 1936 and has an
MBA from Harvard. Interestingly, Sir
Christopher is also the non-executive chairman at Reuters.
It does not take much intelligence to understand that Reuters,
the world's primary source of news information, is heavily
prejudiced in favor of the drug company. We have a major uphill
battle to fight against these forces. Fortunately, the Internet
and technology has seriously leveled the playing field and
is one of the primary reasons why I remain highly confident
that we are making more than a dent in the process.
For one, this newsletter is starting to make a difference.
Earlier this year I began promoting raw
milk and it started to make a national impact--so much
so that an investigative reporter from the Wall Street Journal
did an extensive interview with me for a recent front-page
story on the topic. National Fox News also did an extensive
interview with me on the same topic. Interestingly, both of
these organizations neglected to include me in their final
stories.
The important point to realize though is that this newsletter--and
you--are making a difference. The major national media is
starting to pay attention. They have no choice. We have to
capture media attention to expand the message of health care
freedom from the drug company tyranny. SO, please continue
to encourage all your friends and relatives to sign
up for the free newsletter so you and your children can
have a healthier future.
