The NDAA wipes out the 4th Amendment right to due process; and the latter two proposed laws remove our free access to websites, giving the government the right to take down Internet sites at will.\u00a0 Thus, their interests seem to be solely in maximizing their profits no matter the detrimental effects on the environmental, social and health of all life.\u00a0 All the while maintaining control of the global population through massive manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>These few controlling global companies have financial interests in non-renewable energy industry and pharmaceutical companies.\u00a0 An example being that the latest information on the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill and the Japanese Fukushima nuclear meltdowns reveal initial disinformation of the actual extent of these catastrophic events.\u00a0 Here in Texas, the ads run by the natural gas drilling companies purporting to \u2018protect the water supply\u2019 are a good example of test results being ignored.\u00a0 Especially when tap water, stock tanks, and ground water continue to show contamination of toxic, cancer-causing chemicals used in the fracking process.\u00a0 So where is the FCC\u2019s truth in advertising policy being enforced?\u00a0 Many of the so called \u2018news stories\u2019 about new drugs or new types of medical testing or equipment are actually produced by the companies who are selling these drugs, tests and equipment.\u00a0 And they also influence the health profession directly.\u00a0 (This <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/projects.propublica.org\/docdollars\/\" >source<\/a> shows payments made to doctors and health professionals for drug promotions.
