Jon Rappoport on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory: the OPIOID CRISIS
By Jon Rappoport
Alert to readers: This Wednesday night, November 2,
10PM-midnight, PACIFIC TIME (consult listings for other time zones),
I'll be doing two hours with George Noory on Coast to Coast AM. The
subject: THE OPIOID CRISIS.
Help spread the word. I'll be exposing and explaining the crisis and its extreme danger to populations all over the world.
For now: Federal agents arrest drug-company founder for opioid racketeering
Federal agents have arrested John Kapoor, the founder of drug-company Insys, for opioid racketeering.
FBI spokesman Harold Shaw said the arrest marks "an important
step in holding pharmaceutical executives responsible for their part in
the opioid crisis."
Among the charges against Kapoor: promoting off-label uses
for the company's painkiller, Subsys, and bribing physicians to write
prescriptions.
Essentially, the charge is: "you're a drug trafficker."
Doctors can prescribe drugs for conditions beyond those
listed in the FDA's specific approval. That's what "off-label use"
means. But the drugs' manufacturers can't actively promote or pay
doctors to write off-label prescriptions. That's a crime.
In my recent investigation of the opioid trafficking
pipeline, I pointed out that the top of the supply chain, in many cases,
is the manufacturer.
The corrupt company does one of two things (or both): it
ships extraordinary numbers of opioid pills to distributors, with full
knowledge it is engaging in trafficking; or it promotes and pays doctors
to write unnecessary prescriptions for the opioids.
The latest estimates: in 2016, two million Americans were addicted to opioids;
Since the year 2000, 300,000 Americans have died from opioid overdoses;
64,000 of those deaths occurred in 2016.
Founder John Kapoor's company, Insys, sells an opioid,
Subsys, that contains Fentanyl, which is 50 times more powerful than
morphine.
The truth is (and no one is reporting it), morphine alone is
capable of blocking severe pain. The scores of synthetic opioids drug
companies have developed, and the FDA has approved, are largely
unnecessary. The proliferation of the synthetics has fueled the opioid
crisis. These are the pills that are finding their way to addicts.
In addition to this, new designer opioids, coming out of
underground Chinese labs, into Mexico, and up into the US, are so
powerful one tiny dose can cause instant death. In many cases the street
dealers have no idea the drugs they are selling contain these lethal
compounds.
Tune in to Coast to Coast AM and listen to my extensive rundown on the opioid crisis and its clear and present danger.
