Well, fake news jumping on this, so……..must be all b.s…….
It's a doctor prescribed medication….wtf ? WTF ? You don't want it, don't fill the prescription !
CIA wants it shut down. Government tampering with product is what's killing people ! Billion dollar industry going to foreign governments, it's really true ! People don't get same feeling with extra pain killers added, equals overdose !
Of course it was the ¿ews who invented oxycontin.
Every single time . . .
Doctors know how addictive this drug is and are just as complicit. It’s all about the Benjamin’s.
Don't blame the FDA because it is people like the Sackler Family are the reason why the FDA is hobbled. They paid to have the FDA hobbled.
POS DA are going to do thier jobs. Instead of going after poor and disadvantage people. Probably not.
Eric holder helped😜
Thanx to The Real News for covering this, and another big problem is fentanyl, because they are mixing it in all the street drugs too, from pot to cocaine to heroin. I personally know 3 people who are addicts due to doctors over- prescribing them opioids, these folks were not druggies either, but now they get dope sick. Also 60 Minutes done an excellent series on this, that I included below, to show how deep the corruption is, from pharma lobby to Congress to DEA, FDA and DOJ … I also blogged this 60 minutes piece, because of how in depth the corruption was that they exposed – – Ranch Chimp Journal

Psychopathic capitalism performing as intended.
Maybe it's part of some "elites" project to seriously diminish human population? I've read a number of times, not in great depth, but still a number of times, over the past decade or so that so-called "elites" including madman Henry Kissinger, Bill Gates and his wife, possibly some Rockefellers as well, have spoken, either explicitly or else very implicitly, about a so-called need to depopulate humanity; including by roughly half. It's definitely moronic, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. It's clear that such people don't care about humanity; except, of course, for themselves. What else should we expect from such morons who unfortunately have a lot of power or influence!
I salute the Sacklers for their firm liberal business approaches, USA needs more of that. Firm sturdy capitalism is the only way.
Quote: " Released depositions revealed that Richard Sackler, owner of Purdue Pharma, lied to physicians about the danger of OxyContin. Now Purdue Pharma is considering declaring bankruptcy to avoid lawsuits. … ". Hopefully NOT! Purdue Pharma shouldn't be allowed to "get off the hook" by declaring bankruptcy, not before lawsuits are completed. Sackler lied, and I understand that as intentional on his part, so "No way, José!" should he be "let off the hook". He blatantly lied, so he's psychopath, or sociopath(?) ! No bankruptcy should allow him to "swim" free again. The lawsuits must be conducted . Until they're completed, Purdue Pharma should be restrained or prohibited from filing for bankruptcy, or from completing that process, Sackler's personal capital should be placed under seizure, …; whatever current laws permit. I'm far from being knowledgeable about any relevant and applicable laws, but something needs to be done to prevent victims, and their loved ones, from being denied plenty of compensation. The dead can't be resurrected, including in good health, but compensation is minimally due to families. I'd like to learn of that also happening to other criminal corporations; f.e., in the MIC, "Big Oil", "big mining", …, when they've caused great harm to this world and its populations. We might consider it a "soft" war against them, and that should include the rogue politicians who work, politically as well as directly, for these cies. It wouldn't be war fought with guns, etc., but, instead, a "soft war" fought with application of all relevant laws. I could provide arguments for this but am definitely not a legal expert, … not at all. I never took a single course in law, so much less getting any degrees in law, but fair "common sense" logic might suffice; maybe (?). Otoh, law doesn't always make much sense, if any.

The love and utter blindness for money in this country is going to destroy us and the planet. Something has got to change. We are in hyper mode for self destruction.
People let's get TRNN over 300! Share!
I'm the first to condemn corruption but these medications help people with severe pain where other drugs don't work. Just like other drugs, caution must be taken & not abused. If these drugs were off the market, people would complain the drug companies are conspiring. Ask the millions of people w/chronic pain.
Denying working class pain relief is inhumane and drives them to black market drug dealers, making them criminals. This is all political and promoted by the private prison industry and DEA
Fentanyl, a synthetic opiate inspired by Huxley's SOMA, for a Brave New World, has finally freed them of their dependence on Poppy's Fields. So now, they can distribute opiates to the masses. But they must destroy religion (the competition) first. So, they have devised a War of God vs God vs Not God to do just that (2019-2026). Supplement F-U (Fentanyl Euphoria) is served every meal at the Volunteer FEMA Centers. Don't worry about us; We're all happy campers.
Purdue Pharmacy are considering Bankruptcy that is the small price to pay for their pushing the sale and use of Narcotics that not only were grossly addicting but also Killers !!!
These monsters better not get away.
Drug pushers, politicians love the money that big pharma made for them,if aborted babies fetched 100 Grand for their parts,alot of abortion opponents would somehow see a way to justify abortions,money is everything
Ironic when you remember that the Brits, joined later by the French, waged the opium wars in the 19th century – trying to subdue China by getting the Chinese hooked on heroin!!!
All part of the elitist nwo agenda to reduce world population to "manageable" (!) levels
It is long past time for robust "claw back" laws wherein all profit derived from such actions is confiscated and made available for reparations. Then we start working to apply that law to the oil industry.
the owners of this company are mass murderers. they should be jailed for a long long time
Like you need to tell a physician how addictive oxycontin is
The model of Capitalism. Healing people is not profitable. Helping people to be whole on any level is not profitable.
They need to suffer the same sentence of any major drug dealer. Lock them up, take all their money and use it to help addicts.
In America just being near a crime guarantees you death. This is a crime these families need to start answering for the death that they caused for profit.
Quick, stop the weed dealers! So dangerous.
What a gross society.
Purdue Pharma will go unscathed on this. how's that war on drugs thing suppose to work and could this apply here as well.? i say not so much. big pharma, thanks, for showing us that money over lives was always your true intentions!
Obvious fact is that that family and their conspirators must be put in jail (or electrocuted) and all their possessions must be confiscated and paid into some fond for help their victims. Question is what when some judiciary system is not capable to do so. It must be rip out that country and new must be created. How to do that? America have President, Congress and Senate – they must find way how to do it. Or US must cease as country.
About FDA, isn't it obvious that this agency exists only to eradicate all medicines and ways of treatment which doesn't bring profit to big pharma or even gives alternative to big-pharma drugs.
Stripper drug reps are the new subprime mortgage reps.

Purdue and other people involved should be forced to take what they sell.
