This isn't new (Score 1)

After WWII, chemical manufacturers seized control of food production through the agricultural universities. They control the politicians--who control the federal grants--and they control the research agenda. As a result, they ultimately control the curriculum. Thus, they control an ag-industry that favors monoculture corporate farming, which is entirely dependent on what they produce, and to hell with family farms and YOUR health.

This insideous propagandizing begins at an early age. As someone who is known to have a knowledge of nutrition, I was asked by a registered nurse who knew absolutely nothing of the subject, to help her sixth-grade son with a homework assignment on nutrition. The curriculum was provided by Monsanto. These are the people who brought you the powerful neurotoxin known as Nutrasweet. Naturally, the lesson spoke glowingly of the same chemical that is treated by the FAA as a banned substance for commercial airline pilots.

The utter fiendishness of the pharmaceutical industry is the worst example. There are over six hundred known curative treatments for cancer. All of the most effective ones are banned in the United States. Here too, the research agenda is controlled by whore politicians who have sold their souls to the drug pushers. Worse yet, the public charities that purport to work to cure dread disease, instead vigorously suppress effective treatments. The charter of the American Cancer Society, for example, explicitly states that when a cure is found for cancer, the organization must dissolve. A six-figure income and lavish lifestyle is too much of a temptation for the weak of character to care about such things as the horrible suffering and dying of others.

I'm afraid all this is not new. It's just that it is just now becoming evident in the information technology arena.
