Big Pharma - How much power do drug companies have?

The pharmaceutical industry exerts a huge amount of influence on health policy. Some companies develop highly profitable drugs with public money, while others have been found to have covered up serious side effects.

The fight against Covid-19 is further fueling the greed of pharmaceutical companies. Does the industry’s influence threaten public health systems?

The industry has seen major changes in the last decade. Most of the world’s pharmaceuticals are produced by a handful of large corporations, so-called Big Pharma. They’re richer and more powerful than ever. In some cases, they can even call the shots on governmental health policies.

This documentary is the result of more than a year of research, and brings together patients, whistleblowers, lawyers, doctors and politicians, as well as representatives of the industry. Large laboratories are accused of concealing or downplaying research results to maintain their monopolies. Take the manufacturer Sanofi, whose epilepsy drug Depakine triggered a scandal throughout Europe. In the US, Johnson & Johnson has had to stand trial for driving millions of people into opioid addiction. And Novartis is one of several companies now facing huge fines over improper practices in the treatment of macular degeneration, an eye disease.

The pharmaceutical industry gets support from influential doctors. But only one-fifth of German doctors declare what they receive from drug companies. As the world battles the Coronavirus pandemic, this documentary also looks at the lobbying efforts of manufacturer Gilead, as it seeks approval for a promising drug developed largely with public money. Every company is vying to find the next miracle treatment that will help it succeed against the competition.

Ann-Margaret Still Rides at 82!

At age 82, Ann-Margret is living life in the fast lane.

The "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Viva Las Vegas" actress was recently at the Women’s Image Network’s 25th Women’s Image Awards in Beverly Hills, where she revealed one thing that keeps her young — a Harley-Davidson.

"It’s lavender, and it’s got white daisies all over it," the star gushed to People magazine. "There [are] flowers on the back fender and the front fender. … I love speed. Not the drug."

The performer told the outlet that after a decades-long career in Hollywood, she has zero plans to slow down. Ann-Margret described how she took dance lessons early on in life to prove to her parents she was born to entertain.

She was born Ann-Margret Olsson in Sweden in 1941. She moved to the U.S. as a child. In her college years, Ann-Margret performed at nightclubs while she focused on her studies during the day.

"I remember wanting to be in show business all my life," Ann-Margret told the outlet. "And I remember one day I said to mother and daddy, ‘I want to talk to you. It’s a very, very important thing for me and I want to get into show business.’"

She said she received her parents' blessings. She was eventually discovered by comedian George Burns, who gave her a spot on his Las Vegas show. She soon skyrocketed her way to the top of the box office charts.

In May, Ann-Margret told Fox News Digital she still rides her Harley.

"It was my daddy who inspired me to ride," she explained at the time. "Before he met my mother, he had a couple of motorcycles. One was an Indian and the other a BSA. And my uncle, my mother’s brother, had a big motorcycle. When I was 10 years old, I would ride on the back of his bike with him. … He would take me to the Norwegian border, and we would go into Norway. There’s no way I could forget that motorcycle.

"The speed, being in the elements, the wind and the rain, the sleet and hail – oh gosh, I get very excited when I even talk about it. … Today, I’ve got this incredible Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It’s very funny when you see it parked next to all the other bikes. It’s lavender with daisies. It’s quite unique."

During the ‘60s, Ann-Margret became a sought-after sex symbol, a title she never had any qualms about.

"I was flattered," she chuckled. "The idea that some guy would come up to me and say, ‘Hey, I think you’re sexy.' Oh man, what’s not to love?"

In 1964, Ann-Margret appeared opposite Elvis Presley in "Viva Las Vegas," one of the most recognizable films from the singer’s career. For decades, even long after Presley died in 1977 at age 42, many have speculated about their relationship when cameras stopped rolling. For the actress, what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas. She has only spoken of their friendship and experience of bringing the beloved musical to life.

"It was a joy working with E.P.," she said. "We felt music the same way. We would listen to music, we would look at each other and woo! We would be moving the same way."

But before sparks flew with the hip-swiveling icon, Ann-Margret appeared alongside Pat Boone in 1962’s "State Fair." During one steamy scene, she sent hearts racing as she nibbled on the entertainer, known for his squeaky clean image.

"It was on his left shoulder!" she proudly said. "As a matter of fact, I saw him two days ago here in Los Angeles. And, of course, I reminded him of that. And I did it again! He said, ‘Thank you.' He he loved it."

Life continues to be an adventure for Ann-Margret, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

"I’ve got a lot of energy. It doesn’t come in a bottle," she boasted. "I am just blessed that my mother and father gave me such great energy. And there’s no negativity here. … They instilled in me all of these wonderful things that I still carry with me. You don’t whine about things. You just go out and do the things that you love. And I just feel blessed with the life that I’ve been given."

British country names explained

US presidential candidate Cornel West: 'Biden is a war criminal'

American voters feel “impotent and hopeless” as they approach an election where the main choices are a “neo-fascist Pied Piper” (Donald Trump) or “the war criminals of the Democratic Party”, argues independent presidential candidate Cornel West.

West, one of the United States’s pre-eminent philosophers and justice activists, tells host Steve Clemons that President Joe Biden is enabling Israeli genocide and that Israel cannot be secure if “precious Jewish security and safety is predicated on the domination of precious Palestinians”.

West argues that recent talk of a two-state solution is “subterfuge – a refusal to deal with the 700,000 Israeli settlers in the West Bank”.

Las Vegas: The Shady Life in America's Most Sinful City | ENDEVR Documen...

Homeless in Vegas - Where Poverty Meets Big Money:

• Homeless in Vegas: Where Poverty Meet...

This two part series focuses not on the millions of tourists who flock to the city’s hotels and casinos but on those who choose to live in Vegas, some of the 1.3 million inhabitants whose lives play out in the shadow of the Strip.

Over the course of the two episodes Trevor meets Las Vegans who have won and lost big, people who might fare better living somewhere far away from the pull of the bright lights and some who have seen firsthand the glamour – and violence – of a place that unveils more about human foibles than any other city on earth.

Through their stories Trevor reveals something far more tangible about Sin City in the 21st century than the neon mirage that lies at its heart.

00:00 Episode 1 Trevor also meets former high-class prostitute Annie Lobert who at the height of her career was making $2million a year. Tucked away in a secret corner of the sprawling suburbs, Annie now runs a safe house for prostitutes trying to get away from their violent pimps.

00:43:24 Episode 2 Trevor’s journey into Vegas wouldn’t be complete without sampling the high life. In a 3 million dollar apartment overlooking the Strip, he meets one of the world’s most successful poker players, Antonio Esfandiari also known as the Magician. Antonio holds the record for winning the biggest cash prize in poker - $18,346,673 on the turn of a single card.

Decadence and Downfall: The World's Most Expensive Party

In 1971, the Shah of Iran, the self-proclaimed 'king of kings', celebrated 2,500 years of the Persian monarchy by throwing the greatest party in history.

Money was no object - a lavish tent city, using 37km of silk, was erected in a specially created oasis. The world's top restaurant at the time, Maxim's, closed its doors for two weeks to cater the event, a five-course banquet served to over sixty of the world's kings, queens and presidents, and washed down with some of the rarest wines known to man. Over a decadent five-day period, guests were treated to a pageant of thousands of soldiers dressed in ancient Persian costume, a 'son et lumiere' at the foot of Darius the Great's temple, and the opening of the Azadi Tower in Tehran, designed to honour the Shah himself.

Every party leaves a few hangovers. This one left a country reeling, never to recover. It crystallised the opposition, led by the Ayatollah Khomeini. More than any other event, this party marked the break between the king of kings and the people of Iran he reigned over.

ONE Index Fund for 2024, Make it This One

Investing in index mutual funds can be a prudent long-term strategy for many investors, providing broad market exposure with relatively low fees and minimal maintenance. However, it's essential to conduct thorough research and consider various factors before making any investment decisions. Here's a detailed overview of how to approach an index mutual fund investment bet for 2024:

Choose a Broad Market Index: Index mutual funds typically track a specific market index, such as the S&P 500, which represents a broad cross-section of the U.S. stock market. Alternatively, you might consider international index funds, bond index funds, or sector-specific index funds, depending on your investment goals and risk tolerance.

Research Fund Options: Once you've selected the type of index fund you want to invest in, research available fund options from reputable fund providers. Look for funds with low expense ratios, which can significantly impact long-term returns. Consider factors such as historical performance, fund size, and the fund manager's track record.

Diversification: Diversification is key to reducing risk in your investment portfolio. Consider allocating your investment across multiple index funds to achieve broad market exposure. For example, you might invest in a combination of domestic and international stock index funds, along with bond index funds, to create a diversified portfolio that aligns with your risk tolerance and investment objectives.

Asset Allocation: Determine your desired asset allocation based on your investment goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Younger investors with a longer time horizon may be more comfortable with a higher allocation to stocks, while those nearing retirement may prefer a more conservative allocation with a higher proportion of bonds.

Cost Considerations: Pay attention to the costs associated with investing in index mutual funds, including expense ratios, transaction fees, and any potential account maintenance fees. Choose funds with low expense ratios to minimize the impact on your investment returns over time.

Monitor and Rebalance: Regularly review your investment portfolio to ensure it remains aligned with your investment objectives and risk tolerance. Rebalance your portfolio as needed to maintain your target asset allocation, especially after significant market movements or changes in your financial situation.

Long-Term Perspective: Index mutual fund investing is best suited for investors with a long-term perspective. Avoid making impulsive investment decisions based on short-term market fluctuations or trying to time the market. Instead, focus on maintaining a disciplined investment approach and staying invested for the long term.

FBI and The Democratic Party

Discussing the relationship between the FBI and the Democrats, requires careful consideration of historical context, institutional dynamics, and specific instances of alleged corruption or bias. Here's a detailed overview:

Historical Context: The FBI, established in 1908, is the principal federal investigative agency in the United States. Over its history, it has been involved in various high-profile cases, including those related to organized crime, espionage, terrorism, and public corruption.

Political Neutrality: The FBI, like other law enforcement agencies, is expected to operate with political neutrality, conducting investigations without regard to partisan interests. The agency's mission is to enforce federal laws and protect national security, irrespective of political affiliation.

Instances of Corruption: Throughout its history, the FBI has faced allegations of corruption and misconduct. These instances have involved agents acting outside their authority, engaging in criminal behavior, or abusing their power for personal or political gain. Such cases are typically investigated internally or by other oversight bodies.

Political Influence and Oversight: While the FBI is meant to operate independently from political influence, its actions can sometimes intersect with political interests. Political leaders, including those affiliated with the Democratic Party, may express opinions or exert pressure on the FBI in certain cases. Additionally, congressional committees provide oversight of the FBI's activities, which can involve inquiries into potential abuses of power or misconduct.

Partisan Perceptions: Public perception of the FBI's relationship with political parties can be influenced by partisan biases. Democrats may view the FBI favorably when its actions align with their interests, such as investigations into political opponents or matters related to national security. Conversely, Democrats may criticize the FBI if they perceive its actions as politically motivated or unjust.

Recent Controversies: In recent years, the FBI has been at the center of several controversies with potential political implications. For example, the handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State drew criticism from both Democrats and Republicans. Similarly, the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, including allegations of collusion with the Trump campaign, sparked intense political debate and scrutiny of the FBI's actions.

Calls for Reform and Accountability: In response to allegations of misconduct or bias, there have been calls for reforms to enhance transparency, accountability, and oversight within the FBI. These efforts aim to uphold the agency's integrity and ensure that it operates impartially, regardless of political considerations.

Overall, the relationship between the FBI and the Democratic Party is complex and multifaceted, shaped by historical precedent, institutional norms, and political dynamics. While instances of corruption or bias may occur, the vast majority of FBI agents are dedicated professionals committed to upholding the rule of law and serving the public interest.

2024 Warren Buffett: A "Storm is Brewing" in the Banking Industry

Economic Conditions: The state of banks and real estate companies is heavily influenced by broader economic conditions. If the economy is thriving, with low unemployment and strong consumer confidence, banks tend to see increased lending activity, while real estate companies benefit from higher demand for properties. Conversely, during economic downturns, both sectors may face challenges, such as higher loan defaults and decreased property values.

Interest Rates: Banks' profitability often depends on interest rates set by central banks. In a low-interest-rate environment, banks may experience narrower interest margins, while real estate companies may see increased demand due to lower borrowing costs. Conversely, rising interest rates can lead to higher borrowing costs for both homebuyers and developers, potentially dampening demand for real estate.

Regulatory Environment: Regulatory changes can significantly impact banks and real estate companies. Stricter lending standards or new regulations on mortgage lending, for example, can affect banks' profitability and real estate market liquidity.

Technological Disruption: Both sectors are being transformed by technological advancements. Fintech innovations are changing how banking services are delivered, potentially disrupting traditional banks' business models. In real estate, technologies like virtual reality and online platforms are altering how properties are marketed and transacted.

Demographic Trends: Population growth, urbanization, and demographic shifts also influence the demand for banking services and real estate. For instance, in regions experiencing rapid population growth, there may be increased demand for housing and mortgage lending.

Global Events: Geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, or pandemics can have significant repercussions on both sectors. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic led to disruptions in real estate markets, with shifts in remote work impacting commercial real estate demand.

The Tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party

The award-winning "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" has inspired hundreds of millions of Chinese people to renounce their ties with the CCP. This video series is based on the book, published in 15 languages and available here: http://www.ninecommentaries.com

Foreword. When speaking about tyranny, most Chinese people are reminded of Qin Shi Huang (259-210 B.C.), the first Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, whose oppressive court burnt philosophical books and buried Confucian scholars alive. Qin Shi Huang's harsh treatment of his people came from his policy of "supporting his rule with all of the resources under heaven." [1] This policy had four main aspects: excessively heavy taxation; wasting human labor for projects to glorify himself; brutal torture under harsh laws and punishing even the offenders' family members and neighbors; and controlling people's minds by blocking all avenues of free thinking and expression through burning books and even burying scholars alive. Under the rule of Qin Shi Huang, China had a population of about 10 million; Qin's court drafted over 2 million to perform forced labor. Qin Shi Huang brought his harsh laws into the intellectual realm, prohibiting freedom of thought on a massive scale. During his rule, thousands of Confucian scholars and officials who criticized the government were killed.

Today the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s violence and abuses are even more severe than those of the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. The CCP's philosophy is one of "struggle," and the CCP's rule has been built upon a series of "class struggles," "path struggles," and "ideological struggles," both in China and toward other nations. Mao Zedong, the first CCP leader of the People's Republic of China (PRC), put it bluntly by saying, "What can Emperor Qin Shihuang brag about? He only killed 460 Confucian scholars, but we killed 46,000 intellectuals. There are people who accuse us of practicing dictatorship like Emperor Qin Shihuang and we admit it all. It fits the reality. It is a pity that they did not give us enough credit, so we need to add to it."

Let's take a look at China's arduous 55 years under the rule of the CCP. As its founding philosophy is one of "class struggle," the CCP has spared no efforts since taking power to commit class genocide, and has achieved its reign of terror by means of violent revolution. Killing and brainwashing have been used hand in hand to suppress any beliefs other than communist theory. The CCP has launched one movement after another to portray itself as infallible and godlike. Following its theories of class struggle and violent revolution, the CCP has tried to purge dissidents and opposing social classes, using violence and deception to force all Chinese people to become the obedient servants of its tyrannical rule.

Jordan Peterson: The radical Left is guilt-tripping the West into oblivion

Dr Jordan Peterson discusses how to win the culture war, with insights from Soviet and Nazi dissidents who stood up against tyranny and compares their struggles with clampdowns on free speech today. He sits down with The Telegraph’s Steven Edginton in a wide-ranging discussion from why Britain was a miracle for the world to if he is addicted to Twitter:

On the culture wars: “The right lacks vision. They play a rearguard game. They don't have a compelling story to tell young people. And because they're conscientious, conservatives are conscientious, it's easy to hoist them on the petard of guilt. And the psychopathic narcissists of the radical left are unbelievably good at that.”

On the personal versus the political: “I think you have to get your psychological house in order before you can be even remotely effective politically in the fundamental sense. Otherwise, you're just a tool of ideology or your own ego.”

On Britain: “English common law is a complete bloody miracle … what a phenomenal accomplishment. And so, yes, I think that makes Britain singular and worthy of tremendous admiration … It's a country that's suffering from far too much guilt at the moment.”

On Twitter: “Twitter isn't optional, it's how I sample the culture. Is it a biased sample? Probably.”

On slavery: “It was the British who decided hands down that slavery was wrong and then did something about it. And that is documented historical reality.”

On the EU and France: “A lot of the centralising tendency that's characteristic of the EU can be laid at the foot of the same spirit that motivated the French, the French revolutionaries … I see the French Revolution in itself as a reflection of something deeper, which is the continuing manifestation of the spirit of Cain.”

The Domestic Fate of U.S. Militarism

Tyranny Comes Home: The Domestic Fate of U.S. Militarism (Stanford University Press, 2018)

Featuring the authors Christopher J. Coyne, Associate Professor of Economics, George Mason University; and Abigail R. Hall, Assistant Professor of Economics, University of Tampa; moderated by Matthew Feeney, Director, Project on Emerging Technologies, Cato Institute.

For many Americans, the distinction between military policy and domestic law enforcement is clear: the U.S. military is deployed abroad and tasked with defense of vital national interests, while at home police officers protect life, liberty, and property by investigating and deterring crimes. But as Christopher Coyne and Abigail Hall explain in their book Tyranny Comes Home: The Domestic Fate of U.S. Militarism, years of policy decisions at home and abroad have eroded this distinction.

Military equipment and tactics often find their way to police departments thanks to what Coyne and Hall call the “boomerang effect,” which can result in needlessly aggressive policing and violations of civil liberties. What are the origins of the boomerang effect? Can police militarization be reversed? Does modern policing require military-grade surveillance equipment? Join us for a book forum featuring Coyne and Hall, who tackle these and other pressing questions.

The Militarization of Police: When Tyranny Comes Home

Since the end of the Cold War, SWAT teams have proliferated across the United States and the number of no-knock raids on private citizens has risen dramatically. Abby Hall and Chris Coyne explain that this is the result of the boomerang effect– the process by which, in the absence of strong formal constraints, tactics used in foreign interventions abroad are later used to limit the liberties of people back home.

Setup Any Samsung Phone WITHOUT a Sim

Setting up a cell phone without a SIM card can be a convenient option for various purposes, such as using it as a Wi-Fi-only device for internet browsing, gaming, or accessing apps. While setting up a phone without a SIM card eliminates the need for a cellular plan, there are considerations and steps to take to ensure a smooth experience. Here's a detailed exploration of the process and potential issues involved, as well as tips for finding a Wi-Fi signal:

1. Initial Setup:

SIM Card Removal: When setting up a cell phone without a SIM card, begin by removing any existing SIM card from the device. Most smartphones have a slot or tray for SIM card insertion, which can be accessed by using a SIM ejector tool or a small paperclip.

Power On and Setup: After removing the SIM card, power on the phone and proceed with the initial setup process. This typically involves selecting a language, connecting to a Wi-Fi network, and signing in with a Google or Apple ID to access app stores and cloud services.

2. Wi-Fi Connectivity:

Finding a Wi-Fi Network: To connect to a Wi-Fi network, navigate to the device's settings menu and select the Wi-Fi option. The phone will then scan for available networks in the vicinity.

Winston Churchill - Greatest Leader of the 20th Century

Winston Churchill is widely regarded as one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, especially for his role in guiding Britain and the Allies to victory in World War II. Born in 1874 to an aristocratic family that included his prominent politician father, Lord Randolph Churchill, and American socialite mother, Jennie Jerome, Churchill spent his childhood largely in the care of a nanny and in boarding school, where he struggled to keep up academically. At age 18, he enrolled in the Royal Military College, a major achievement for the young boy who had an early interest in the military and also saw it as a distinct path into politics. After a four-year stint serving as both a soldier and war correspondent around the world, Churchill resigned from the army in 1899 to focus on his career as a writer and politician.

Churchill went on to hold a variety of political positions in both the Liberal and Conservative parties, including first lord of the admiralty, chancellor of the exchequer, secretary of state for war, and, of course, prime minister of the United Kingdom. He also became a prolific and celebrated writer and a renowned orator, whose powerful speeches, such as his famous "We shall fight on the beaches" address, inspired both his country and people around the world. Churchill was known for his eloquence, courage, wit, and vision, but he wasn’t without his faults, and his controversial views on imperialism, race, and social reform remain an equally entrenched part of his legacy.

Churchill died in 1965 at the age of 90, remaining to some one of the greatest Brits of all time. Churchill Did a Stint as a War Correspondent Churchill struggled through his school years in nearly every subject, history and English being the exceptions. His father steered him away from academics and toward a military career, where it took Churchill three attempts to get into the Royal Military College at Sandhurst (now the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst). In 1895, he joined the 4th Queen’s Own Hussars cavalry unit, and made his first army trip to Cuba — but not for combat.

Churchill took a short leave to report on the Cuban War of Independence for London’s Daily Graphic. In 1896, his regiment was deployed to India, where he served as both a soldier and a journalist; his dispatches were later compiled into The Story of the Malakand Field Force, his first of many published nonfiction works. His journalism even led Churchill to a notable moment in his young career. While covering the Boer War in South Africa for The Morning Post, he and members of the British army were captured and taken to a prisoner-of-war camp. He escaped by scaling a wall in the dark of night, returning a hero. He Was Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953

Churchill’s war reporting marked the beginning of an esteemed literary career. His first major work following his war dispatch collections was a 1906 biography of his father, titled Lord Randolph Churchill; he also wrote a four-volume biography of his ancestor, the Duke of Marlborough. Churchill's most famous works, however, are his histories of the two world wars, which he both witnessed and shaped. The World Crisis covers the First World War and its aftermath, while The Second World War, throughout six volumes, details the global conflict that made him a legendary leader.

Churchill also published several collections of speeches and essays, as well as a book on his hobby of painting, Painting as a Pastime. In 1953, his work earned him the Nobel Prize in literature, awarded “for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values.” As high an honor as it was, it’s believed that what Churchill truly wanted was the Nobel Peace Prize.
