Why are the Chinese Government and the US Drug Companies So Afraid of Facebook and Twitter?

An incredible media transformation has occurred in the past several years, resulting in high-tech social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Nearly all of us were former consumers of media, but now we are all becoming producers and can rapidly share the message of TRUTH to our friends and networks. It is becoming more and more impossible to hide the truth with the development of these social networks.

These technological tools that allow individuals to unite against powerful government and corporate forces are likely to transform the world in coming decades -- if they haven’t done so already. And that is precisely why China’s central government is blocking their citizens from accessing these sites.

For people trying to get out from under strict censorship and oppression, social networking tools can be the window to the world that allows them to finally break free and spread the truth about what is really going on.

In fact, this just happened in Iran during the recent elections. As international news organizations were banned from covering the ensuing demonstrations, Twitter became Iranian protesters’ lifeline to the outside world.

This is incredible as for the first time in history people like you, your friends and relatives are actually using these new social networking tools to bypass traditional media outlets … and as a result the TRUTH IS GETTING OUT!

It is very clear in my mind that social networking is going to rapidly accelerate the changes that need to occur not only on a political level but also in our health care system.

How You Can Use Social Networking Tools to Make a Difference

There have only been four periods in the last 500 years where media changed enough that could be considered truly revolutionary:

1. The printing press, which made mass printing possible
2. Real-time, two-way communication: first the telegraph, then the telephone
3. Recorded media, other than print: first photos, followed by recorded sound and movies
4. Radio and television

However, the media that was good at creating conversations was not good at creating groups, and the media that was good at creating social groups was not good at creating conversations.

Now, with the advent of the Internet and the growing popularity of social networking, that has all changed and those limitations no longer exist in many parts of the world.

The generation we’re now in has the largest expressive capability in human history!

So now is the perfect time for you to leverage your vote and your power by tying yourself and your friends and family into these social networks, and then voicing your opinion about matters that are important to you.

There are hundreds of health care professionals on the network (who have a special icon on their profile) who may be able to point you in the right direction.

• Transfer your health insights to others and find a channel for your energy and giving.
