Working in the public relations industry it has been interesting to watch the news recently. Debate about the current government’s decisions regarding pharmaceutical patents has grown, as has the government’s stand on it. As interesting has been the mysterious response of the US front group that has been buying ads and having their associates come forward to denounce the government’s actions.
The person listed as the head of this organization is long time Washington insider and former UN Ambassador Ken Adelman. His name bears a coincidental but striking resemblance to the US PR firm he is tied to (and is reportedly on their payroll). This is the same firm that Thailand’s last prime minister recently announced he had cut ties with.
