I'm All For Freedom Of Speech, But This Garbage Is Far From Free

This is guaranteed to bring about the end of
cancer, Alzheimers, heart disease, strokes
and the entire Democratic Party.

I ran across this scam while accessing a supposedly reputable weather information website today. Below all of the weather information were links to some other posts. One that caught my eye had a photo of Nancy Pelosi and the caption "This major scandal just leaked out of the Democratic Party."

Curious about what kind of dreadful conspiracy this might describe, I endured a long lecture about how 'Crooked Hilary' has for years been working with a powerful criminal cartel of very wealthy people who promoted her election bid and through which she has managed to gain total control of the entire Food and Drug Administration. According to this site, through her elaborate and insidious "Executive Plan 5" she manages to promote a wicked US pharmaceutical industry that results in thousands of people dying every year from prescription drugs that have been scientifically proven not to work and are in fact proven to actually make people worse.

What is claimed by this dubious site to actually cure all kinds of cancers, and without chemotherapy, radiation or deadly surgery, is a rare product called "Sour Honey." Simply add it to your tea and your dreaded cancer cells will immediately begin to self-destruct!

I'm certainly not a fan of US drug companies and our current expensive healthcare system, but all of this is of course patently ridiculous. And the cost of this book (actually a 45-page pamphlet published by the so-called Health Sciences Institute and posted on Amazon), ranges from $70 for a used copy to well over $300 for a new one.

My question is why any reputable weather website would post this kind of scam--and why a company like Amazon would market it. And trust me, I would feel exactly the same way if this were about some anti-Trump conspiracy (as opposed to some reputable expose based on verifiable evidence).

In an era in which any view with which one doesn't agree tends to be labeled as 'fake news', I still hope the truth matters.
