Based on?

Think of it logically (a sure fire way to disprove a lot of conspiracies)
If a pharmaceutical company announced it had developed a working cancer cure, imagine what would happen?
The companies share price would skyrocket making the shareholders exceptionally rich (or more so than they already are)
As well as the money from shares and drug sales, there would be a massive influx of cash from various governments for further research and development.

Not to mention the entire research staff and company CEO would likely be in line for a Nobel Prize and possibly have their names recognised alongside the likes of Louis Pasteur (a cancer cure really is that big a deal)

How and why could you possibly keep that under wraps?

Supply & demand. Restrict the supply; or don't admit there's a cure (if there IS one) but instead say there is a drug which is shrinks tumours with a success rate of say 70% and there's enough profit in that. Give 30% a placebo (Or a highly diluted version) and the rest the bona fide and your claims ring true......and the cash still rolls in.

Openly bringing out a cure isn't necessarily a 'name your price' as drugs can be made generically, at a much cheaper cost.

The fear factor & doubt element pay their way as much as bringing out a cure & making it available to all regardless, could ever do.

Think of it, if you will, like faults on cars. Rather than have a total recall if someone dies because of an inherent fault in a component, car manufacturers would rather see a few more people killed than immediately recall the vehicles for repairs, as the cost of the compo paid out for the deaths would be far less than the recall/repair costs of several (perhaps hundreds of thousands) of cars.

The Ford Pinto had exactly that problem, the fuel tank sat between the rear axle and the bumper, when it was rear ended the fuel tank would rupture and spill fuel out under the car. There were a number of cases of people being burned alive in their cars. Ford were well aware of it, did a cost benefit analysis of recalling the vehicles against the cost of the lawsuits and found it was cheaper not to fix it.

Correct. IIRR there was a recall of ford mavericks in the US a few years back because the cruise control was faulty & made the accelerator stick or made the car accelerate wildy. Ford knew about that but stuck down on it for something like 10 YEARS before they recalled them.

Not sure I agree with that really mate.

It can be very difficult for people to speak out when still a child, however once grown they may only now have the confidence to call the offender out, and that's still very tough.

Obviously there will be the odd false accusation, but I can't see why we shouldn't believe her, at least on the face of it.
 

Seems like at least 14 years and possibly even 20+ years have gone by....

These Bill Cosby stories of course have been coming out as well after decades.

However it strikes me as odd that people would wait so long to make a complaint if it was true...i suppose it must be a mental thing which was inside them before or caused by the 'trauma'.

If i had something on someone for 10 years id have done something about it already...its really quite odd to wait so long.

Don't forget, a lot of these abused people are scared no one will believe them.

Once one comes forward, it becomes easier for others to come forward, as they now know they're not a lone voice.

I'd have a bit of sympathy mate.

Absolutely, also, watch this documentary to see what happens to people that 'speak out', must be a horrendous situation to be in!

 

WW2was a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors that got way out of hand.

A real conspiracy is that (according to conspiracy theorists) any leader that opposes central banking and want to nationalise the banks is either assassinated or have their public image ridiculed.

JFK, Lincoln, Putin, Hitler, Andrew Jackson. (Not saying I like these men, just that they fought against the banks to my knowledge)

This is what people need to understand, the people that own the banks, own the world...
