I get the theory behind that conspiracy, but like all conspiracies, I just think it would be too hard to keep everybody quiet.
If such a cure existed I think the potential for an individual to make a huge amount of money very quickly (the pharma industry be dammned) would be too tempting.
In reality, I don't think such cure-all exists, cancer is quite complicated, as are human beings - different treatments work differently on different people.
Actually people do come out and speak. In the rare circumstance that the media reports it, they come across as nutters or develop a following of people with interesting beliefs. Does anybody want the attention, scrutiny and threats both physical and financial that may occur by taking on a multinational? If you don't believe that they will take such action, then you are kidding yourself.
Insurance companies don't pay certain claims even though they know they are liable, because they can keep a matter in the courts for years and basically bankrupt the customer into withdrawing or accepting their pittance offer. It happened in the Victorian floods with one prominent company that refused to pay based on the definition of flood, and yet their parent company paid out the same claims in QLD. As soon as the Federal Govt (under a lot of pressure from the public) threatens to take action they quickly change their policy. It has only taken 50 years. How many people have had their lives ruined, because Government and Big business looked after each other.
Banks and their life insurance scams as well as many other multinationals doing the same thing. The Church of Scientology basically issued writ after writ on the US Govt until they eventually capitulated and recognised them as a religion, which gave them tax free status. Not a fan of Scientology, but I give them full credit for working out a way to get what they wanted.
Youtube is full of reports of cures for a number of cancers in the late 40's and 50's. Again they are dismissed as quacks. Former NASA staff have been coming out for years openly talking about UFO's and alien bases on the moon. They are given little or no attention by the media, because they are more interested in what Kim Kardashian is doing. The 9/11 conspiracy theories but anyone dares to say something publicly, and they are scolded and made to sound like nutters. Where is the pressure on the US Govt to release the footage of the Pentagon attack? Why are they hiding it? Why did Bush and Cheney refuse to testify separately? These questions are not asked or pushed, and if they are the person is labelled a quack or unpatriotic.
So why doesn't anyone listen? Because we have been conditioned and controlled. If the Herald Sun or Peter Hitchener doesn't tell us, then it must not be true. People are just happy living their mundane lives, and don't really want to have to think about anything that may affect their little world.
These forums offer some hope in that it demonstrates that some people are thinking about the bigger issues.
