Cartels? I'll give you Cartels!

"Cartel charges expected

The Serious Fraud Office has said it expects to bring fraud charges by October after its long-running investigation into a suspected multi-million-pound price-fixing cartel that targeted the NHS in the late 1990s.

The investigation is thought to be one of the biggest and longest carried out by the SFO. The alleged cartel is suspected of charging the NHS excessive prices for commonly prescribed drugs, including penicillin-based products."

..................

"The six firms are wholesaler Kent Pharmaceuticals; Generics UK, a division of German firm Merck; the British arm of Indian company Ranbaxy; Norton Healthcare, a subsidiary of US group Ivax; and Regent-GM. A second tier of suspect companies includes Lagap, now a division of Novartis."

the above from: http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/story/0,3604,1432602,00.html


Well! If that's been exposed in old Blighty, what's been going on in the Antipodes?

Do the six named 'firms' operate in Australia?

Probably under other names, I'd guess.

Have our Coppers got their own Serious Fraud Office operating?

How much will the British, Israeli and Russian (wait-for-it!) coppers cooperate with us and each other?

That recent ACCC "cartelian behaviour" investigation, surely threatens to uncover more than the establishment could continue to handle 'on-the-run' via slippery John and coven.



In another article, not too far removed from the above scenario, Israeli bankers and diplomats are cited, if-not-indicted on massive fraud charges involving Russian corporate elites: "Self-exiled media mogul Vladimir Gusinsky and Yukos co-owner Leonid Nevzlin..."

The article is from today's The Moscow Times.com.

http://www.themoscowtimes.com/stories/2005/03/09/002.html

A quick serf of the www.smh.com.au, www.abc.net.au , and http://www.guardian.co.uk/ websites, had nothing about this,

So I'll give it a day or two.

The latter referred-to article might have more to it than first appearances.

I mean that of the last how many years, have we heard little else but reports of the military-occupation crises and resultant tradegies, with little-or-nothing reaching our shores about the shadey-side of Israeli finance and corporate business, etc.

Cartels, etc.

Clearly, cartels of that dimension are global, and as slack-ol' Australia is as loose with it's debt as it is, that exact same-breed of global cartels cannot not be operating here, smiling as they take your employment, earnings, taxes, resources, Souls and Land.

How much of a 'lax' attitude toward this kind of behaviour permeats Australia generally, from the local milk bar to federal parliament?

Certainly, the attitude exists as-if-generically across Australia's diverse social groups, but this is surely a Good Healthy, rugged-if-I-may Australian cynicism against the crims-up-the-top in parliament-and-sponsors-incorporated?

Once, not so long ago, if you wanted to set-up a big-nasty cartel, the first people you'd 'sort' would be the coppers, via the local clergy.

That Serious Fraud Office in Britain may be doing the Commendable Work that their predecessors were too entranced by the ancient power-structures to interupt.

All Strength to Their Arms!

In the Moscow Times article on Israeli fraudsters, the Israeli police are active. One assumes with Russian policing authorities.

The size of the alleged dirty-business makes it newsy, and worthy of more attention here too, again, because these mobs are global so MUST be operating here.

But that this sort of crime can be operating in and out of Israel while the world is almost totally focused on the military chaos in and immediately surrounding Israel, has got to have a bloke, that is a REAL Bloke-Big-B, ask about why we rarely-if-ever hear of these things in Australia.

Because our parliamentarians are so friendly with the global corporate elites, may we ask where the line is drawn between their public duties and the interests of the stinking-rich? The overseas, foriegn, stinking-rich.

What I'm getting to, is that sort of question the "Canberra Press Gallery" are afraid of popping - cartelian behaviour - as exists between the two major parties in parliament -ALP and the Liberal/National coalition, as it exists right through the 'industry' of Canberra, from suppliers of parliamentary-poo-paper, through to most all Members of the House of Reps and the Senate.

Obviously the reason the Gallery says nought is that they are... oh-derrr!? being paid to piper the tune the corporate/parliament/media cartels want them to.

And with the debt these creme-de-la-media-elite are most-likely running-on in their daily-fidgeting and 'latte-ing', DAMNED if they're gonna let the FACTS have them lose their 'nice-little-earners'!

So? Whose gonna break the consortia?

Whose gonna start reporting and investigating the corporate world of Israel, especially the big-ticket-item fraudsters, and their influence-read-darkmail across the globe - darkmail all-over-the-place, even, right into your Headroom?

Were the major-players in defrauding the Public to be brought before the courts, and other influences combined and excited downward trends in global finance, we'd be massively relieved of a shotload of unwanted, unnecessary psychotic stresses upon planet and person.

But as many again and more may replace them, if globally, the local arena as-it-were, were not kept in economic order.

Essential provisions would run-out in cities first, where corruption isn't connected through transportation, food suppliers, to the econo-graphically safe 'establishment' quarters.

So decentralisation into rural areas would be the best option.

But the first thing to remove must be the ownership of the Land, where some may prevent emigrants from the cities from occupying a patch in rural regions, and from sustaining themselves and whichever group formed around them.

For the first time in history, the Police Services of the World recognise that their Proper Duty is to protect the masses from exclusive Landlordalism, the root of economic problems.

I Call them to Enact that Demand of the Masses.

This is a "Dream-Case Scenario" I'll admit for free, where the ivory towers crumble and we are left to look honestly at ourselves etc.

It might happen. The doomsayers say-so more and more lately, yes?

If it doesn't, I'll be pissed-off. With the media primarily.

If it does happen, there'll be no excuse for the "Right-minded" Authorities to fail to introduce (?) that old HARD LOVE and enact decentralisation policies across the globe, or across your window-box - depending on how 'Connected" you are.

Australia's media is failing us, there's no doubt.

In a Court of Law, most people paid by Murdoch and his filthy-ilk to repress important news, FACTS etc, would be tried and convicted of treason against Humanity etc, should these accusations of mine, get legs.......

Time to get your eyes off the warzones, and focus, regularly, on the shonks dealing under the cover and profit of media-distractions like the wars we are bombed with every news broadcast.

Iraq? Haliberton?

I'm also aware of how the media presents whatever they want to lift or depress us, the ABC also, so one can be given a falsely optimistic perspective of whatever progress is or might be happening globally.

Its good to hear the perceived good news, albeit that it should not have to exist as such, because it comes only, out of the bad news of the epoch - this Warring World Period.

You who accept the silver pieces to report the distractions, should think HARD on the opportunities which exist for you, and for your world, were you to GET SOME ATTITUDE on the Land Reform Agenda, you know I Advocate, and thus with a bit of Courage, address the newsy-bits which may bring this to a better graduated, lets-say, head, and final dispelling of the toxins.

The Russian Government's heavy treatment of Yukos last year, was seen here as one, yes, a complex case, but also portrayed as the actions of a ruthless and vicious Russian Government dictatorship by the western media.

Actions which apparently affronted Democracy out-of-existence in Russia.

But LO! Yukos was PUTRID!

So will Vlad Putin get an apology from the detractors?

Will those intrepid investigative reporters follow the trails of corruption back into the penthouse offices of Tel Aviv, Zurich, London, Tokyo, Washington and Riad, etcetera.

Or are they too deep in their respective cartelatte's behaviour?

Hmmm.......

As a last punch, (well..., a 'swing'!), where would an investigation into these mobster-cartelia lead and what would it uncover on the suppression of FACTS about Cannabis, Opuim, Cocaine, and other currently prohibited Medicinals our luscious Mother Earth so Naturally provides us all with?

Hmmmm.........

Like the weather, things change. The moguls of Earth's media may have to adjust their forecasts, which the advances in......., media.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha..........

Oh! Media cartels? 'Brettonwoods' is given illegal licence because of suitable and similarly anachronistic accepted truths like the 'double jeopardy' laws, born some 800 tyranical years ago.

Today's policing services have rather better investigative methods, and records are slightly easier to access across county-lines than in 800-fucking-year-old England, aye?

The Coppers might well also be less manipulable and thence less corruptible.

I'd give them licence right here-and-now to open inquiries into the Brettonwoods mobsters, and whomever else up there in moguland, might be found to be dabbling in the odd-bit-of-cartellianism. Or is that capitalism?

Get REAL Kiddies............

Whomever I'm e-ssaying this to.................

Tell yer boss I said so...........



AUM
