  1. Says it all really…corruption !

    ‘Fentanyl Maker Donates Big to Campaign Opposing Pot Legalization’

    https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-09-08/fentanyl-maker-donates-big-to-campaign-opposing-pot-legalization

    “An embattled pharmaceutical company that sells the powerful painkiller fentanyl has donated $500,000 toward defeating a ballot initiative that would make recreational use of marijuana legal under Arizona law.

    It’s hard to imagine a more sinister donor than Insys Therapeutics Inc. in the eyes of pot legalization proponents, who long have claimed drug companies want to keep cannabis illegal to corner the market for drugs, some addictive and dangerous, that relieve pain and other symptoms…

    ‘One company symbolises everything sickening about the opioid crisis’

    https://www.businessinsider.com.au/opioid-crisis-and-insys-therapeutics-fentanyl-spray-2017-4?r=US&IR=T

    Insys Therapeutics makes a spray version of the powerful opiate fentanyl, which is many times stronger than morphine.

    The company pays speakers fees to doctors, some of whom have had their licenses suspended or face jail time for overprescribing the drug. In Connecticut, a nurse admitted to taking kickbacks in exchange for prescribing the drug.

    Insys faces federal inquiries and questions from lawmakers about its practices, including alleged promotion of the drug for off-label uses.

    1. A book “Dirty Doctors” about the corruption of medical practice which came out in the 1990’s after I was chemically poisoned on a job in Canada, sent me a stark message when no doctor knew anything about Chemical poisoning I have a very dim view of the standard MD or GP.

      Only specialist “alternative” medical Doctors working as Environmental Medicine, or Toxicologists should be trusted now, as most of the others are bought off.

      They signed the “Hippocratic oath” as it says “First do no harm” but they forgot the oath now.

  2. Pike river and the ongoing litany of lies we all,including the media and the whole of the mainstream political apparatus across all the major parties keep deluding each other with,

    What we all need do,in memory of the Pike River 29,to do justice to them is stop thinking and talking Industrial Accident and read and discuss the evidence in terms of Insurance Job,

    What i will say is this: at the time of the first explosion of the PIke River MIne the whole shift of workers, all 29 of them were supposed to have been safely in the showers scrubbing off the dust of their daily labour, something went horribly wrong and i can surmise that the device that caused that first explosion had been wrongly wired into the mines power supply and regular cuts altered the attached timer,

    Why has access to an inert mine drift been denied is simply that those that rule, those that have the big bucks cannot afford human eyes to examine the seat of the first explosion that occurred at Pike River because forensically examined the evidence there will fit hand and glove the evidence as given to the Royal Commission of the only person to have gone back up that mine drift by the South African mines electrician who then covered himself in shame by turning turtle and getting the hell out of there, and, who could blame him, at this stage i couldnt although because of his knowledge,experience and actual job description i am at the least suspicious….
