Interesting Facts!!!!!

[Sugar Ray]

Mine is

That many NHS trusts, churches and charities such as Cancer Research & RNLI invest in arms manufacturers. - Bet they keep that quiet to their donors

[sp1814]

Blimey!!!

Maybe I'm, being a bit naive...but are you serious???

[noxlumos]

Yeah very much so and also I bet you don't know that by buying products with Aspartame in them ( nasty cancer causing sweetener that should have been banned years ago but reports were supressed by nutrasweet) you are also investing in companies involved in the arms trade too. Even "ethical" shops like the Co-op group resolutely ignore this fact despite many people pointing it out to them loud and clear and still use aspartame willy nilly.

Didn't they ban Aspartame in the USA because it caused deformities in unborn babies, or something?

[Booldawg]

in the current climate the weapons industry is a very good one to invest in. I'd sooner that then see them fritter their donors money away in an ice cream business in the North Pole or something. Immoral as it is.

[JustSia]

I was just wondering, where did you get those facts? I would love to read more about it.

I have heard from several sources including a police officer and a restaurant manager that every chinese restaurant / even your local takeway has to pay money to the triads

[bednobs]

Their Pension Funds - they invest in companies like BAE Systems - its only come to light as charities accounts have to be transparent

[Greedyfly]

Triads - where is there proof of that please tell me, I wanna actually read this stuff from a reliable source lmao

[noxlumos]

Well the aspartame thing is highly "googleable" reams and reams of contra indications regarding it's consumption and NO it is NOT banned in the US ( or the UK) despite it causing everything from cancer, birth defects, to blindness and a breakdown of the central nervous system.
go through your cupboards at home and you'll find it crops up everywhere ( where you'd not expect it to) either listed as Aspartame or phenylalanine. A reasonably good book for unleashing things you'd not want folk to know if you were the people concerned is
You Are Being Lied To
The Disinformation Guide to Media Distortion,
Historical Whitewashes and Cultural Myths
as it has very detailed references as to where they get their facts.
I know nothing about the Triads thing however.
