During your story about beat variances and the market, your guest suggested that there may be something we feel about the

market, which predates the turns in the market.

The answer to this question is “Yes,” by that I mean, some of us have seen the problems coming in the market that predates

where we are now because the market is a man made thing, and any lack of regulation, or better put “laws,” will without a

doubt lead to crime. LAW: laws in the United States were designed to protect a society from those living in that society who

lack conscience, moral, or ethic restraints on their behavior within society. By calling “laws” “regulations” allows their

intent to be weakened.

Back then, when your guest said the music was predicting the future stock market, I was expounding on my own postulates about

where we were heading in this nation. Understanding what has happened in the past (man’s history) and watching the reduction

in regulations (Laws) in this nation; the truth of where we were heading was clear.

Many laws were designed to prevent corporate and white collar crime, bank fraud, and fraud in the market, after the crimes

which lead to the collapse in the stock market in 1929. Ask yourself what purpose a reduction in the laws designed to protect

the public from white collar crime, has in serving the public?

Anyone with a basic understanding of finance can see how those changes “regulation” and a lack of enforcement of usury laws,

would lead to the situation this country faces today. It is not difficult to see what actions our government takes serves or

fails to serve the public and its interests.

When a program like yours, does not ask the real questions, the pertinent questions derived by combining what really happened

during the last 8 years “specifically” and the last 30 years “generally,” and even now “immediately,” then you are only

playing lip service while aiding those who have committed great crimes against all the people of this nation.

Such failure makes you suspect of being in one of two camps, foolish or culpable. Silly stories that lack the proper

scientific method are a joke. Treating the financial man-made disaster in this country and around the world as some sort of

natural phenomenon only guessed through metaphysics, is nothing but a con.

Why don’t you just do a story on the black people who have been indicted on a $25 million real estate fraud here in

California, while the real criminals who have perpetrated 7,500+ X $25 million in crimes against the people of this nation and

then to take more of the wealth in a second crime? You would then be able to support the prejudice which destroys the balance

necessary to have a real democracy.

You can either serve the public honorably and truthfully, or be understood to be less for the people and more for some

ideological purpose that would never be supported by our Constitution.

However, I do not think that is true. I do not know if pens influence doctors’ decisions, but I am sure that the drug companies think they do. What other motive would they have? I find it hard to imagine one pharmaceutical executive saying to another, “Let’s send out 5,000 pens with the name of our new wonder drug to physicians so that they won’t be influenced.” Maybe drug executives say that every day, but I am skeptical.

Wait, wait, wait. Let’s hear some intelligent follow-up, and evidence of adequate prior research. When Dr. Stossel says he is offended that you would even suggest he could be influenced by promotional drug activities, how about mentioning the research that shows that physicians are affected by drug promotions Even Though They Themselves Are Not Aware Of This?????? I’m a psychologist, and can attest that this is good research and accurately quoted.
