Dies Michael Jackson, 'King of Pop'

Michael Jackson; 'King of Pop', whose great talent was accompanied by revelations of a strange life, died yesterday Thursday, at the age of 50 years a hospital from Los Angeles.

Jackson's death ends a turbulent and sometimes tragic life. Was in the Starred since child as part of the Jackson Five, and in 1980 was arguably the most influential artists in pop music, who knew how to combine black's music with the white's music, which was the pioneer of music videos broadcast by the then channel MTV.

He was the most electrifying artist of his generation: famous for his frenzied dancing that grabbed the groin and sang with loud shrieks and dotted with tremors. His lone glove, sunglasses and military jacket with epaulettes were what most distinguished him, apart from his face repeatedly altered by surgery. His album "Thriller" launched in 1982 _ and that included the hits "Beat It" "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" _ remains today the best selling in history with 26 million copies.

Over the years became increasingly strange. Beside that his facial features appeared plastics. He was surrounded by children and acted as them. He lived in a palatial mansion called Neverland, his face was covered with a mask of surgeon and lived with a chimp named Bubbles.

Good byeeee to King of Pop!

Pandemic or Profit

PANDEMIC OF PROFIT

In the world, each year die two million people victims of malaria, which could be prevented with a bed protect. And the news say anything about this. In the world, each year die two million children from diarrhea, which could be cured with an oral serum of 25 cents. And the news say anything about this. Measles, pneumonia, preventable diseases with cheap vaccine, kill ten million people in the world each year. And the news report anything.

But a few years ago, when appeared the famous avian influenza (bird flu). The news global flooding of news. Too much Ink , warning signs. An epidemic, the most dangerous of all! ... A pandemic! Only speaks of the terrifying disease of chickens. However, avian influenza (bird flu) killed only 250 people around the world. 250 deaths during 10 years, giving an average of 25 victims per year.

The common flu kills half a million people each year in the world. Half a million to 25.

One moment, one moment. So why are armed so much outrage with the flu in chickens?
Because behind those chickens had a "rooster" of a big spur. The transnational pharmaceutical Roche with its famous Tamiflu sold million of doses to Asian countries. While Tamiflu is of questionable effectiveness, the British government bought 14 million doses to prevent their people. With the flu from chickens, Roche and Relenza, two big pharmaceutical companies that sell the drugs for this flu, got billions of dollars of profits. Before the chickens and now pigs.

Yes, now began the psychosis of the pigs flu. And all the world’s news only speak about this. -It says nothing of the economic crisis or the tortured at Guantanamo. -Only the swine flu, swine flu. And i say or ask: if behind the chickens were there a "rooster". Bihind the little pigs. there will be a "big pig"? Look what it says an executive of Roche Laboratories. “We are very concerned about this epidemic, so much pain. therefore, we sell miraculous Tamiflu” . - And to how sell "The miracle" Tamiflu? Well, look. US $ 50 the box. Jajajaj!- US $ 50 that little box of the pills? -Understand, sir, that. miracles are paying expensive. What we understand is that these companies get a good slice of the pain of others.

The U.S. company Gilead Sciences has the most important Tamiflu. The main shareholder of this company is nothing less than a sinister character, Donald Rumsfeld, secretary of defense of George Bush, architect of the Iraq war. The shareholders of the pharmaceutical Roche and Relenza are fulling their hands, they are happy with their millionaires sales of the dubious Tamiflu. The real pandemic is profit, the enormous profits of these mercenaries of health.

We do not deny the precautionary measures necessary that are takening the countries. But if the Avian flu or pandemic is so terrible as the mass media announced, If the Health World Organization is concerned about both disease, why not declare it as a global public health problem and allows the manufacture of generics medicines to fight it? Without patents from Roche and Relenza, and distribute this generic drugs free to all countries, especially the poor.
