See article keywords and concepts |  And this is the mental characteristic of the corporation. It is psychopathic in a technically defined mental disorders kind of way. If you look at how corporations act, they are psychopathic.
This helps explain why companies like the big pharmaceutical firms can continue to market and sell products that they know, literally, kill people, and yet can manage to keep them on the market year after year because they're generating profits. | | REPPED: One of the most important videos you will ever see is the corporation, a documentary by Zeitgeist Video. The film includes interviews with people like Milton Friedman and Noam Chomsky -- two individuals you wouldn't normally see in the same film -- and there are also interviews with many other CEOs, whistleblowers, business brokers and even a corporate spy. This video will open your eyes -- even if you think your eyes are already open -- to the evils that are being caused by corporations around the world.
It's important for me to note that I, personally, am not anti-corporation. | | These concepts are covered in quite a bit of detail in the corporation, which is why I strongly recommend you go out and rent or buy this video and see it for yourself. It's very well done, and it has a lot of intelligent people talking about the subject and really explaining how corporations get out of control.
You'll also see some rather shocking images in this documentary of some of the effects of corporations getting out of control -- environmental effects and cruelty to animals in the dairy industry, for example. | | So again, I strongly recommend the corporation, by Zeitgeist Video. You can find it at www.thecorporation.com. You'll learn a lot in this documentary. It has certainly taught me a lot. It has opened my eyes, and it will open yours. Give this a good watching, and if you buy the two-CD set, you can watch an additional five hours of interviews with people like Milton Friedman, Noam Chomsky and even Michael Moore. You can watch some interesting footage and learn a lot more. This is an eye-opener. It is a must-see documentary if you really want to know what's going on in the world around you. | | They sell products to consumers, then consumers eat the products, get diseased, have long-term healthcare costs, loss of quality of life and possibly require huge surgical procedures and so on, but these costs are not borne by the corporation, they are borne by the consumers; the people. So, this video really helps answer some of these questions as to how these corporations get wildly out of control and become these self-perpetuating, evil machines that really have no purpose in the world other than to make sure they survive and grow. | | In fact, as you'll see in the corporation, that is by law the growth strategy that every corporation must follow. By law, corporations must put the profits of shareholders first and, in doing so, will necessarily export its problems to the public at large. In the video, these are called "externalities," and corporations are machines that will externalize the costs of their endeavors to society and to the planet.
For example, junk food companies externalize the costs of health care associated with the long-term consumption of their products. |

Even if these 49 Senators actually sold out the American people, and even if they resigned tomorrow (which they would never think of doing, of course), their replacements would be just as easily corrupted by a system of corporate control over U.S. lawmakers that has turned the United States into a Plutocracy -- government by the wealthy elite, where the corporations and the government become one entity that exploits the productivity of the population to enrich the few. | | Lobbyists are far too influential in Washington, and in fact, the corporation itself has become dangerous to the health, safety and future of the American people.

It seems that the automotive industry was never truly keen on MMT. Ford and General Motors may not have been particulatly concerned about the electrical signals transmitted between nerve cells, but they have been worried about the potential degeneration of spark plugs caused by long-term exposure to this chemical. | | In

1978, Ethyl sought such a waiver, and the EPA turned the corporation down.
The EPA reevaluated MMT in the mid-1980s and again in 1990, 1991, and 1994.11(5 By this time, the agency allowed that hydrocarbon exhaust might not be the majot problem with MMT, finding that the principal stumbling block to its approval was the potential adverse health effects of manganese itself. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The corporation has a patented monopoly and, at the same time, has no restrictions placed on the purity of their product. Without required batch testing, biological impurities in their rDNA products do not affect profit margins. This lack of regulation and monitoring by the FDA on behalf of consumers could be responsible for a host of problems now being encountered by diabetics.
If the rDNA insulin product is not folded exactly right; if there are miscellaneous incomplete strands or folds of insulin; if undetermined protein products remain in the mixture; if there is miscellaneous E. | | Those who stretch government regulations to benefit the corporation, not the worker, should see their profits drop. Big corporations who drive out local businesses and large companies who avoid providing employee benefits by maintaining large rolls of part-time employees are not good citizens, they are merely corporate predators. Buying your pharmaceuticals at Wal-Mart or CVS and other corporate entities might save you money, but that savings is realized at the expense of their workers.
Responsible Individuals
Take responsibility for your own health. | | FDA approval actually means that, based on the research results presented to it by the pharmaceutical — results presented in a manner most favorable to the corporation — the drug is considered safe and of more value than a placebo. When the manner of presentation is biased, and when unfavorable results are either hidden or unreported, the credibility of FDA approval is suspect.
The FDA scientists who evaluate applications are handicapped. They must use data submitted by the company seeking approval. |

See article keywords and concepts |  You see, it is the nature of the corporation itself that can ultimately be destructive to society, regardless of the positive intentions of those who work there. In this case, the intention of the corporation is quite simply, "Maximize profits." And that intention clearly collides with broader issues like serving humanity or actually healing people. |

Eli Lilly had such a product in Oraflex (sold as Opren in Great Britain). In 1982 this drug was being launched by Lilly with great fanfare (scientists on tour, 6,500 press kits, and extensive newspaper and TV coverage). Prescriptions rose from 2,000 to 45,000 in a single week.7 Lilly had ten criminal counts filed against the company and its head researcher, Dr. |

Eating organic frozen food? | | By doing this, the corporation can control intellectual property (seed patents) and demand royalties on seeds from poor farmers in third world countries. It eliminates the whole practice of "saving seeds" and propagating food from one plant generation to the next -- a practice that humankind has depended on for survival since the beginning of human history.
In doing so, this gene terminator technology is a crime against both nature and humanity. |

• Settle all criminal claims of wrongdoing out of court. A settlement can be structured so that the public can never learn how substantial a settlement may have been.
• Ask the FDA to approve a new label that includes all necessary warnings. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In 2002, Maxine Taylor, an executive with Eli Lilly, explained how drug marketers could use this technique when the corporation came under fire from critics.
"Deploy third parties to advance your cause," she advised in an article in a trade magazine. "Even though you may not have many friends, maximize the ones you have!"
The third party technique might be considered relatively harmless in other industries. For example, few people might complain if a soap manufacturer hired housewives to tell their friends about the cleaning power of a new laundry detergent they had discovered. |

The recent Enron and WorldCom debacles have shown corporations' willingness to manipulate information in the quest for profits. The information manipulated by pharmaceuticals, however, can be of a life-and-death nature. Nevertheless, the vast number of personal injury lawsuits filed against pharmaceuticals serves as an indicator of just how truthful and forthright pharmaceuticals are in their dealings with the FDA. |

One of the most persistent themes in this book has been the importance of lifelong learning. Learning strengthens our cognitive reserve and saves us from intellectual stagnation. Increasingly, baby boomers are embracing their retirements as an opportunity for awakening and reinvention. |
Paul D. Blanc, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | In October 1995 the corporation won the most important in a string of legal challenges to the EPA, arguing that the agency had gone beyond its statutory authority in invoking "potential" health risks to block MMT, absent any dead bodies. The federal courts agreed, saying to the EPA, in essence, "show us the smoking tailpipe." The waiver was finally obtained.
The way now appeared to be open to start shipping MMT to U.S. gasoline formulators. Criticism was likely, certainly, and that would call for a firm response. |

I was in your face, in his or her face, ready to displace. Anyone or anything could become a target. But it was not a very good me. But, then, that's what a lot of us thought being part of a corporate culture allowed us to be.
When I came back to civilized society, I knew I was a sinner, a fossil fuel drunkard on bended knees, and a seeker of green salvation. |

Such a Machiavellian assessment could be correct. On 11 May 2000 the EPA wrote a letter to Donald R. Lynam, vice president for air conservation at Ethyl Corporation. The letter contained the EPA's formal notification of the detailed safety testing requirements that, if met by Ethyl, could help to clear the way to MMT's wider introduction.124
In 2004, Ethyl Corporation restructured. |

Fast food companies have been found guilty of lying to the public about the cleanliness of their restaurants and the ingredients used in their products. Major food manufacturers are being found guilty every year of lying to the public about the ingredients that are being put into their mass-produced food that is being sold throughout the world.
This brings us to the pharmaceutical conglomerates today. |
