The tide is turning: Big Pharma billionaire arrested, charged with conspiracy and bribery of doctors
Saturday, October 28, 2017 by: Mike Adams
Natural News) I almost never thought I’d see the day when a Big Pharma founder and owner was finally arrested for running a criminal drug cartel, but that day has arrived.
“Federal authorities arrested the billionaire founder and owner of Insys Therapeutics Thursday on charges of bribing doctors and pain clinics into prescribing the company’s fentanyl product to their patients,” reports the Daily Caller News Foundation, one of the best sources of real journalism in America today.
Addictive drugs that include opioids, we now know, are claiming over 64,000 lives a year in the United States alone.
From the DCNF:
The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged John Kapoor, 74, and seven other current and former executives at the pharmaceutical company with racketeering for a leading a national conspiracy through bribery and fraud to coerce the illegal distribution of the company’s fentanyl spray, which is intended for use as a pain killer by cancer patients. The company’s stock prices fell more than 20 percent following the arrests, according to the New York Post.
Kapoor stepped down as the company’s CEO in January amid ongoing federal probes into their Subsys product, a pain-relieving spray that contains fentanyl, a highly-addictive synthetic opioid. Fentanyl is more than 50 times stronger than morphine, and ingesting just two milligrams is enough to cause an adult to fatally overdose.
The series of arrests came just hours after President Donald Trump officially declared the country’s opioid epidemic a national emergency. Drug overdoses led to 64,070 deaths in 2016, which is more than the amount of American lives lost in the entire Vietnam War.
As the opioid crisis has developed, more and more states have begun holding doctors and opioid manufacturers accountable for over-prescribing and over-producing the highly-addictive painkillers.
“We will be bringing some major lawsuits against people and companies that are hurting our people,” Trump said Thursday. He also spoke about a program similar to Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” initiative.
“More than 20,000 Americans died of synthetic opioid overdoses last year, and millions are addicted to opioids. And yet some medical professionals would rather take advantage of the addicts than try to help them,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement. “This Justice Department will not tolerate this. We will hold accountable anyone – from street dealers to corporate executives who illegally contributes to this nationwide epidemic. And under the leadership of President Trump, we are fully committed to defeating this threat to the American people.

President Trump is bringing the war to Big Pharma’s doorstep
Under President Trump, who continues to fight to end the drug cartels and health care monopolies that are destroying this nation, we may see more and more drug companies finally facing the legal scrutiny they deserve for engaging in the mass medical murder of Americans with dangerous, deadly drugs.
And then there’s the question of vaccines, the autism cover-up and the criminal racket run by the CDC, Big Pharma and the lying mainstream media. When that medical fraud and corruption scandal blows sky-high, we may see dozens of pharmaceutical officials going to prison.

As most readers know - I am as anti-Big Pharma as one can get - I see all those prescription compounds as poison pills. I have taken the time to learn the NATURAL way to deal with all things that I can - avoiding as much contact with Western medicine practitioners as I can. It is amazing the reaction from those I do end up having to contact with when I tell them I do not take prescription drugs - no vaccines - no mammograms or any of the other *let us find something we can treat you for* games. I have learned how to read my body pretty well and can tell what it needs faster than these *practitioners* can.
With doctors as well as with attorneys I learned years ago (at least 50 years) to interview them before *hiring* them. It is getting more difficult to do so now with all the blockades they have put in place to prevent folks like me from checking THEM out before letting them send us a bill for services. I remember back in the 70's interviewing several attorneys before finally hiring one of them for a law suit I was filing. I made it CLEAR to that guy that I was hiring him - he would be my EMPLOYEE and he would do what I wanted done in the fashion I directed him to do it unless my order was illegal. He was to keep me within the law and the court room rules but otherwise he was to do what I wanted done. We won the case - a case he told me he never thought we would win. That was one of several instances over my years. I just went thru another do what I say game with a local medical clinic - and while they tried hard to push me and make me pay for THEIR errors - I finally accomplished what I told them to do to begin with and the last appt was at NO CHARGE to me or Medicare. They aren't happy but the screw up was theirs - NOT MINE.
Just as with the politicians - they put up this garbage that we are to address them as Honorable. What other *employee* do you address as *Honorable* when you write or talk to them? Politicians are our EMPLOYEES and they need to understand that FACT.
Do we beg or call those we hire to do jobs for us as the politicians demand we do with them? It isn't only the politicians but the citizens have forgotten WHO IS THE BOSS is and have allowed this mess to grow over the decades.
If I am writing the check for services then it is MY RIGHT to demand the services I hired the employee to perform. It is time the citizens understood this and began to FIRE these lazy self styled faux royalty. This may well be the last opportunity to drain the Swamp as they are fighting back with all they have. The FBI - DOJ - CIA - SCOTUS - Congress and all the other government agencies and employees know they are in the line of fire and they are doing all they can to turn the weapons on us.
We pay their wages and they are doing all they can to make us their slaves - or casualties. Like the saying attributed to Lenin and Stalin, "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them." We, the American citizens, are employing and paying those who are destroying us and our nation.
This article is another form of the ROPE they are hanging us with - it is BIG PHARMA ADDICTIVE poisons.
