Saturday, 28 July 2012 06:36 'The recent landmark ruling against drug giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), which as we recently reported led to a massive criminal fine of more than $3 billion and a guilty plea by the company of committing felony crimes, was followed by an apology from GSK Vice President of Marketing "Sir" Andrew Witty for the company's "past" failures. But according to whistleblower Gregory Thorpe, the apology is meaningless, as Witty had been working for GSK during the years when the company was proven to have been engaged in illegal activity, and was more than likely involved in it. Saturday, 28 July 2012 05:50 'According to the commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, Moscow is holding talks with the some countries outside of the Russian territory to host its naval bases. "It is true, we are working on the deployment of Russian naval Bases outside Russian territory," Vice Admiral Viktor Chirkov was quoted as saying. On Friday, Chirkov told reporters that Russians are discussing the possibility of creating material and technical supply centers on the territory of Cuba, Seychelles and Vietnam.'

According to a Qatari source, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are sending weapons and communications equipment for Syrian rebels via the base, which is located in the southern Turkish city of Adana, about one hundred kilometers from Syria’s border, Reuters reported on Friday. "Three governments are supplying weapons: Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia," said the unnamed Doha-based source.' Read more: Turkey Sets Up Secret Base Near Border to Equip Syrian Rebels
Not only that, but Thorpe was the one punished by GSK for coming forward with the truth, a retribution that he has had to sustain for more than a decade, while Witty was recently "knighted" by the U.K. government for his supposed service to the British economy and pharmaceutical industry. If anything, Witty's ridiculous apology is nothing more than a lame attempt at shifting blame from himself to supposed "past" scapegoats, all the while claiming that GSK is now a new company that operates honestly.'
