Corporate killers

Philip Morris, one of the nation's biggest manufacturers of tobacco products, conducted a study in 1982 that revealed the dangers of passive smoking. The company prevented the results of the study from being released to the public, however, which delayed potentially life-saving information from reaching consumers according to the British medical journal 'The Lancelet.'

'Philip Morris was, contrary to its contemporary public statements, aware of the greater health risks posed by sidestream smoke from the early 1980s,' The Lancet study says.

The study was conducted in a lab in Germany which Philip Morris used to conduct studies to refute mainstream scienctific studies that showed the dangers of smoking. In the study, lab rats who were exposed to passive smoke had a significantly higher number of cancerous lesions than even those rats that were directly exposed to cigarette smoke.

The study results were discovered inside documents Philip Morris had to post on the internet as the result of a tobacco litigation settlement.

Gee, I wonder if Philip Morris execs are going to be tossed in the clink. What do you think?

And friends, this is the root of the problems we have in society. (Well, the root is people, but...) The whole globe over. It's how our political affairs have descended into criminal affairs. When America was taken over by corporations, democracy, freedom and justice started their long descent, and the American dream morphed into a nightmare for us and for the entire world. I urge you to read some of those links.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
