The message of the video is similar to that of a best-seller first issued in 1957
Vance Packard...The Hidden Persuaders.

> Buyer beware
and
>> This is how marketers sell to you.

The expose then was shocking.
Each new generation needs to learn the message for themselves.
Ax. is to be commended for bringing this to your attention. This time in regard to health products.

Is a video my preferred method of receiving the message?
I will write more on this.

So, the new question for me is the credibility of the new-media exposures of vested interests and alliances formed behind closed doors, and utilising the power of governing bodies.
Would I read a book? Or would I watch a video (now available because the NET relaxes the hold on information).
My generation reads a book. A book is slow and considered assimilation of knowledge.

But I can see Ax's fervour and message.
..........

Watch the video ... it can only be a plus for your education.

I agree that a book can detail information to a degree incapable of that of a video .
But with a subject matter so foreign to most , a video can break the ice of ignorance , and prompt the very necessary and required investigation needed to grasp the very new and confronting concepts.
However a thirst for real knowledge and a deep curiosity is of course far more important in the search for truth and enlightenment.
The internet provides us with a unique window in history to pursue in a mass and networked way the sharing of such information.
But for how long ?

Agree with what you write Ax.
But why the final question?
The windows are open.

The final question pertains to moves to censor the internet , including dissenting political content ala China .

I think the problem with the internet is that it is really too much information and the difficulty arises in knowing what the crap is and what the good information is.

Not unlike analysing any mass of data , even a chess position !
Its also no different to walking into a giant library .
Remember this is a video documentary !
Pretend you are watching it on tv if it helps !!

Do your own research on Codex Ailimentarius , because you won't hear much about it on mainstream!
You will find infinitely more truth on the internet , than you will ever find in the mainstream corporate owned media ! (THINK ABOUT WHY THAT IS)

This is unacceptable to me. Its like saying here is some knowledge but you have to seek it. In today's society people want it now! Now Now now. I don't want to go to another site after I have clicked this one to find out whatever codex is. How about a summary of what this in from your own perspective?
