Quotes
Wearing pink for breast cancer, or buying pink products, is a
demonstration of your support for the enslavement of women by a highly-unethical
industry that seeks to turn women's bodies into profit centers. Wearing pink
shouts, "I support the ignorance of women! I support Big Pharma! I support
male-dominated corporate control over the health of women's breasts!"
Breast Cancer Deception
''One of the most all-encompassing propaganda campaigns
about the issue of cancer is that which is called “The Pink Ribbon Campaign.”
This campaign is quite likely the largest propaganda campaign ever organized and
has, over the years, followed, to the letter, Bernays’ formula of getting the
most prominent people, corporations, public agencies, celebrities private
foundations involved in a single project. – Raise money to educate people about
the perils of breast cancer.
All anyone has to do is google “Pink Ribbon Campaign” on the
net to see just how much this campaign has become part of our shared global
culture. It is not just the old American Cancer Society with a million
volunteers going from door to door in their neighborhoods. It’s corporate
America “partnering” with the project and carrying the torch to every hamlet and
village on the planet.''
Annual “Walk for the Cure,” “Race for the Cure,” and other
public events are staged in the name of the Pink Ribbon Campaign. Fabric
companies have manufactured special “pink ribbon” designs so quilters involved
with “quilt for the cure” quilting contests can do so with the official pink
ribbon fabrics. Entire lines of clothing, especially jogging togs, have been
designed along with accessories and hundreds of individual products so every
entrepreneur can get in the act, not just the usual souvenir T-shirt folks. In
addition, every corporation and retailer that wants to be a visible part of the
local event has something tangible to sell “for the cause.”

Breast Cancer Awareness month's primary sponsor and mastermind of the event
in 1985 was Zeneca Pharmaceuticals, now known as AstraZeneca. Zeneca is the
company that manufactures the controversial and widely prescribed breast cancer
drug, Tamoxifen. Did you know all TV, radio and print media campaigns are paid
for and must be approved by Zeneca.
It is less known that Zeneca also
makes herbicides and fungicides. One of their products, the organochlorine
pesticide Acetochlor, is implicated as a causal factor in breast cancer. It's
Perry, Ohio chemical plant is the third largest source of potential
cancer-causing pollution in the U.S., spewing 53,000 pounds of recognized
carcinogens into the air in 1996. When it comes to
environmental toxicity and carcinogens found in pesticides, herbicides, plastics
and other toxic chemicals that are known to cause cancer - especially breast
cancer - there is booming silence by all Breast Cancer Awareness Month programs.
