RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 06/28/18> Planned obsolescence … now I know what it is called.
Excellent post! Reading it gets me hot under the collar all over again... if anyone ever needed proof that all the supposedly environmental measures taken by governments, all the Rio and Paris Conference hype etc, etc, really is just GREENWASH and thinking up new ways to tax people, this is it. If our dear leaders really wanted to solve the dire environmental problems of the world, they could solve most of them in a single stroke by banning planned obsolescence. But then they'd lose their kickbacks (and probably a lot more too).
This film first came to my attention years ago - probably around 2014 - when I received a brochure for a small independent film festival in Edinburgh. I was unable to attend, though I really wanted to. When I saw the write-up for the Lightbulb Conspiracy, I was so intrigued by it that I looked it up online and found it on YouTube.
Then the film disappeared for several years, as it was banned due to a lawsuit. After a while it re-emerged under the title it was known by in Germany, Mountains of Waste.
I'm so glad you've posted the link, as I couldn't find it last time I searched. Resteemed.
Thanks for the compliment and the suggestion. If a person were to really sit down and think about all this environmental pollution stuff it should be very apparent that the majority of the issue is the amount of waste we are producing from the planned obsolescence of products.
The leaders in government aren't about to do anything that will solve problems in my opinion. Solving the problem by eliminating the cause isn't how they work, they could be compared to medical profession in my opinion which only treats symptoms. It is a guarantee that both government officials and doctors stand to make a lot more money treating symptoms rather than curing the conditions that cause the problems. Big pharma is one industry that I could point to that both government officials and doctors too get kickbacks from for starters.
There have been a handful of cures for cancer that have been suppressed or flat been banned here in the USA simply because the pharmaceutical companies wouldn't be able to make a dime off of them. There is one doctor right here in the Houston, Texas area that is curing cancer and has been for years but the government continues to prosecute him on trumped up charges to shut him down. Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski is his name and he discovered this cure back in 1976. The Texas Medical Board is a disgrace to our state with how they have treated him and there is no doubt in my mind that it all has to do with big pharma paying off officials to shut him down.
Sorry to have gotten of track there, but government is about controlling people not about solving anything.
I completely agree. Haven't heard of Dr Burzynski though, but I'll look him up online. I think the health situation is much worse in the US because you have a private system of healthcare that makes it profitable. They are trying to bring this in in the UK too, but so far the money is made through reaching the health boards that decide which treatments taxpayer's money will fund.
I recently heard on an alternative radio show that mistletoe is an "alternative" treatment for cancer that can actually be obtained through the NHS. Apparently this is because it was used to treat the Queen Mum when she had cancer, the radio show reported. I hadn't realised that she had cancer, but I looked it up online, and sure enough, she did have it in the 1980s, but it wasn't reported at the time, and she lived until the age of about 103.
We recently heard that a distant relative was suffering from breast cancer. The prognosis wasn't too good. A few months her sister told us that she'd been given the all-clear. Apparently she had requested - and had received - the mistletoe treatment. I can't say whether this was actually responsible for saving her life, but I think she had specially requested it. It's not something that the doctors would normally offer.
I had not heard about mistletoe as a cancer treatment but I do know of a doctor in Italy that determined almost all cancers are nothing more than bad fungus that latches on in different parts of the party and is able to thrive because most peoples body ph levels are to low, he uses sterile water and baking soda to drench the cancers and you can watch the tumors as they shrink in size as they are being treated, he also makes sure that his patients maintain a body ph level around 7.9 to 8.1 as fungus can't survive in an alkaline environment, raising the ph level can be accomplished by drinking baking soda and water. It is funny how so many cures are just from basic items that are natural and readily available.
