I work across the street from a Pfizer warehouse. They're expanding like mad these days; lot's of construction going on over there. They haven't kicked anyone out of their homes yet (or taken over our parking lot), but the construction crews have no problems blocking the street.
Most interesting.
"This might also explain the BRAC recommended closure of New London Submarine Base and the Sub
School."
No "might" about it.
Pfizer had employees/Pfizer officials on the board that negotiated with the military over base closings.
That was part of the large body of information I was unable to fit into the original post.
Try doing a search on "Pfizer" and "corrupt" or "illegal" or "unethical". You'll get more hits than you can read.
Makes me wonder what sort of connections Pfizer has to the Supreme Court.. Friends, relatives, etc., that work for or financially benefit from Pfizer or it's affiliates, subordinates, medical branches or facilities, & so on..
I don't care if it's a second cousin, or the son or daughter of a long-time family friend, if someone is benefitting from this decision then it's a criminal sell-out..
That's grounds for impeachment and indictment..
The petition says:
I am writing to ask you to please agree to the proposal by Logan Darrow Clements of Freestar Media, LLC, to build a hotel at 34 Cilley Hill Road in the Town of Weare.
Although this property is owned by an individual, David H. Souter, a recent Supreme Court decision, "Kelo vs. City of New London" clears the way for this land to be taken by the Government of Weare through eminent domain and given to Mr. Clements' LLC for the purposes of building a hotel. The justification for such an eminent domain action is that Mr. Clements' hotel will better serve the public interest as it will bring in economic development and higher tax revenue to Weare.
The "Kelo" decision, led by Justice David Souter, was a very poor one, and I can see no more fitting way to point out its drawbacks than to take Justice Souter's land as the "Kelo" decision dictates. Please, help see that "Justice Is Served" on property rights in America. Thank you.
It's crap like this that makes me wonder sometimes if Hollywood isn't too far off base with it's 'all government is corrupt' theme in many movies.
" Makes me wonder what sort of connections Pfizer has to the Supreme Court.."
Of course no one in the media wants to look into this.....
Please don't cross the street alone & pull the tin foil down tight over your ears, the rays are deadly. ROFLMAO
You attempt to negate years of documented court cases with a one line insult?
Ok.
In fact, excellent.
You have a nice day now.
great post - a lot of info to digest

"It's crap like this that makes me wonder sometimes if Hollywood isn't too far off base with it's 'all government is corrupt' theme in many movies."
The Founding Father know 'all government is corrupt' so that's why the created a "check and balance" system.
That would be a pretty good "investment" for the returns that Pfizer gets in tax breaks, etc..
It always cracks me up to here pharmaceutical companies whining about how they have to charge high prices to recoup their "expenses" for R&D...
Nobody EVER points out the $$$ (tens? Hundreds?) of Millions $$$ they get get in GRANTS from the government to actually do the R&D in the first place..
That part never comes up..
cracks me up to "hear"... ( @#$%^!!!)
There is a dark side to pure capitalism....greed and lust for things even if they belong to others...
There is NO light side to Communism/Marxism/Hedonism/Paganism
It was no mistake when our founders declared that our Republic would only really be fit for Christians...
I would add and those like minded...
imo
"Nobody EVER points out the $$$ (tens? Hundreds?) of Millions $$$ they get get in GRANTS from the government to actually do the R&D in the first place..

Grants are one thing, at least some of them lead to useful research.
But how does a corporation go about getting a tax REBATE on one BILLION dollars in declared profits?
For that matter, how does one go about getting the Justice Department AND the US Congress to ok a tax rate of less than 6% on close to 40 BILLION dollars worth of money parked overseas?
Ever notice how Joe Leiberman never proposes reimporting drugs from Canada? A friend of mine works at Pfizer. He said it looks like New Calcutta down there. I thought these jobs were going to be for Americans?
Government at all levels is out of control. This is an obvious case of private enrichment at the homeowners and taxpayers expense. And the Supreme Court goes along! Unbelievable.
