Are there any good conspiracy documentaries out there?

Are there any "conspiracy theory" documentaries regarding the lobbying in congress by pharamaceutical corps.?

  • was thinking Michael moore maybe did one,,but found his documentary "Sicko" was actually about how people are denied coverage and how they NEED pharmaceuticals..not the actual pointing the finger at how pharmaceutical corporations lobby and advertise all kinds of things which are not only not good for people , but actually harmful for them. if now, why not? how pharm, co's are even taking over the government run medical "industry" in Britain now and how has become more common drugs there? and when and what poeple think there? any help appreciated..

  • Answer:

    There are tons of them. Just go to "Videos" on Google and type in "pharmaceutical industry exposed". Here are a couple to get you started: - Making a Killing http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/39768/Making_a_Killing___documentary_1_3/ (Interviews with people from that industry) - Selling Sickness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4ev1H4ijBU (FDA whistle blowers) You can also search on Mike Adams/Health Ranger and Dr Leonard Horowitz, both of whom present a lot of info on the pharmaceutical industry. Horowitz has heaps of info on and proof of the conflicts of interests and the deals that are done. Be warned ... You may never go to the pharmacy again!

Yes. They control everything. The skeppies above are to set in their narrow minded ways to see it.

No - not that I know of - and it's such an interesting subject. God only knows how many people are killed each year by this deluge of pharmaceuticals that our population sucks up. I know Bush changed the rules around at the FDA so that they could run dangerous drugs through quicker - make more money - kill some people and then have them withdrawn from the market. Lots of pain medications are taken off the market after they kill enough people. They're pushed through their FDA trials extra fast. It would be fun to watch any sort of movie about this.

Considering a member of Congress set up a billion dollar agency to test alternative medicine, I think I want to know what Big Placebo is doing too.

Look, it's not as if pharmaceutical companies are the only crooks lobbying congress. You want a real conspiracy, look at how insurance companies twist law makers - not just health insurance, but car insurance, home insurance, etc. It should have been illegal from the start.

Drug companies (and insurance companies, for that matter) don't force their products upon anyone. You, the consumer, always get the final say in what you do/don't pay for, or what you do/don't put into your body. Quit whining and take some g-ddamned personal responsibility for once!

Watch the documentary "Corporations" http://www.amazon.com/Corporation-Mikela-J-Mikael/dp/B0007DBJM8 in my opinion it is a great movie that exposes stuff

So you want to seek out a movie where some moron with the ability to anomaly hunt and a camcorder rants and lies to you for 90 minutes? Why? Wouldn't it be easier to just make up your own lies about pharmaceutical companies? Aren't you worried about the congress person who scammed the government out of billions of dollars to test crappy alt med?

http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/ You'll find a pile of them here... "Top Documentary Films" on every subject imaginable. You'll be watching stuff for hours! Check out the "Marketing of Madness" about how so-called psychiatric drugs came into being and what a scam they are. "Sicko" was mostly about how the American medical industry which rates 36th in the world is hyped to Americans as being the "best" in the world... I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad. The U.S. has the highest infant mortality rate of any industrialized nation and doesn't rate so high in life expectancy either. It's the only industrialized nation to not have a government run, publicly funded health care system. The US gov't has managed to brainwash people into actually believing that anti-socialism is good for them! The average Joe living in squalor without a pot to p*ss in is still deluded enough to think that one day when he's rich he doesn't want someone taking away his loot. Speaking of the U.K., go to the website called SourceWatch and see who funds Sense about Science... the drug companies of course. And the people running it are PR specialists/"spin doctors" (how appropriate...) working for the corporate interests of Big Pharma. You'll also find that most of the charities people who donate to eg. American Cancer Society are just fronts for drug companies raking in billions then investing in real estate, paying 6-figure salaries and buying cars for their directors. You'll get the scoop on "astro-turfing" -- front groups for industry pretending to be citizens grassroots organizations. You'll also find that people who lurk at/troll alternative medicine forums are often paid "social networkers" to spread misinformation and propaganda in the interests of drug companies, or unwitting dupes like pseudoskeptics who play right into their hands.
