Big Pharma Owns...

[gipper]

Of the candidates in both parties, who is owned by Big Pharma?

One would think this question would be of interest to voters in both parties, but I have yet to see much in the media about this. Not really unexpected as the media does a good job of hiding such information, to purposely deceive American voters.

However it is clear that except for Sanders and Trump, all are owned by Big Pharma. Mrs. BJ likely leads the pack of corrupt lying jackasses owned by Big Pharma.

When will Americans wake up to the fraud being committed by these corrupt scumbag politicians?

This from Dr. Brownstein...
Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio have all been well-funded by Big Pharma. They have all received hundreds of thousands of dollars in financing from Big Pharma. Each one of these candidates is already bought and sold by the Big Pharma Cartel. None of these candidates can be counted on to make the right decisions when it comes to the Big Pharma Cartel.
So, who opposed the confirmation of Dr. Califf? Not the two Republican Senators who are currently running for office—Cruz and Rubio.

Bernie Sanders, currently running for the Democratic nomination opposed Califf’s nomination because Senator Sanders felt he was a Big Pharma insider.

That leaves Donald Trump on the Republican side who has received very little money (similar to Bernie Sanders) from Big Pharma. I saw a report where he received less than $1,000 from Big Pharma. Trump has made it clear that he will not be influenced by big donors in the election.

It is a sad situation that most of the candidates who are running for the most powerful position in the U.S. are bought and sold by Big Pharma before they are even elected.

Things are going the way big corporations want, they do not want any disruption to the waterfall of cash going into their coffers. Hope and change was a slogan. But Hillary's more hope and more change will reel in plenty of useful idiots.

And that is just it.
Hillary Clinton is an elitist corporatist. To.the.core.
Like Obama, all elitist believe in a social structure in which an elite few rule over the many. PERIOD.
Think of the movie Hunger Games - this is THE ideal social structure for elitist. They want to be a part of an elite group living in luxury and comfort provided to them off the backs of the "little people".
This is what corporatism is. A form of elitism. And is exactly why we have seen unprecedented wealth concentration in America. And it will continue under Hillary Clinton and the voters are too stupid and closed minded to see it.

The newly confirmed FDA Chairman is Dr. Robert Califf and he is entirely owned by Big Pharma...Sanders did not vote for his confirmation, but all the other senators running did.

Dr. Califf is the epitomy of the Big Pharma Cartel insider. (Note—the next bit of info was taken form Naturalnews.com), A disclosure statement on the website of Duke Clinical Research Institute says “Robert M. Califf, MD, reports receiving research grant support from Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson/Scios, Lilly, Merck, and Schering Plough, and consulting fees from Annenberg, Aterovax, Bayer / Ortho McNeil, BMS, Boehringer Ingelheim, GSK, WebMd / theheart.org, Johnson and Johnson / Scios, Kowa Research Institute, McKinsey & Company, Medtronic, Merck, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi Aventis, and Schering Plough, and has an equity position with NITROX, LLC.”

In disclosure information for a 2013 article in Circulation, Dr. Califf’s also lists financial links to Gambro, Regeneron, Gilead, AstraZeneca, Roche, other companies and equity positions in four medical companies. The medical website Medscape discloses that Dr. Califf “served as a director, officer, partner, employee, advisor, consultant or trustee for Genentech” as well as for Medscape LLC / theheart.org. Portola Pharmaceuticals says Dr. Califf served on the Board of Directors until he was appointed FDA Deputy Commissioner for Medical Products and Tobacco.

Appearing on PBS with Susan Dentzer after Vioxx was withdrawn because of its links to thousands of heart attacks and stroke, Dr. Califf said, “Merck played by the rules from everything that I’ve seen.” He also said, “many of us consult with the pharmaceutical industry, which I think is a very good thing. They need ideas and then the decision about what they do is really up to the person who is funding the study.” What?

The FDA is tasked with regulating Big Pharma. The FDA has not been doing a very good job of that in the past as illustrated in the Vioxx debacle where 50,000 people died and over 100,000 suffered a stroke or heart attack from taking drug—Vioxx—that never should have been approved. Merck played by the rules? Give me a break, Dr. Califf.

You'd have to kill the constitution too. But the deal making isn't done above board. All the top libs against CU, like Hillary are doing very well.

It is REALLY hard to get more corrupt than the Bush family.

The Clinton's kill folks off one at a time, the Bush family specializes in genocide.

And what difference would that make?
Seriously.
She is corrupt to the core, that is not even up for debate.
She is an elitist/corporatist, also not up for debate.
So what difference does it make what party she happens to call herself?

What is most ironic about D voters, is they tend to think of themselves as against the 1%, yet they are voting for the candidate who is owned by the 1%.

R candidates really suck and so does the party (same with Ds), but at least R voters are telling the establishment to kiss off. So, I guess they deserve some credit...though Ohio really screwed up.
