Contaminated Street Drugs? BigPharma Has a Pill for That

NO DRUGS pixabayFor several years, druggies have known that MDMA —  ecstasy or molly —  is normally contaminated with bath salts and other poisons, and users can suffer horrific results. Now that the FDA in its stupidity has approved a test of MDMA for PTSD, a clean source of MDMA will be needed, which is most likely part of the plan to get BigPharma producing street drugs to take over the illicit drug trade.

Actually, most street drugs were already invented by pharmaceutical companies, so they already hold most patents, and should have an easy time crowding out the illegal producers once everyone is hooked and all this stuff is legal or at least decriminalized.

BigPharma created heroin (Bayer) and LSD (Sandoz). Merck pioneered the commercial manufacture of morphine, distributed cocaine, and invented MDMA. OxyCodone, which started the recent “opioid crisis” was created by German scientists and pushed into society by Purdue Pharma, marketed as a “slow release” opioid, which, according to the company, meant you wouldn’t get hooked, so doctors could freely prescribe as much of it as they wanted. Crystal meth was first created in Japan, and after WWII, Abbott Labs won FDA approval for meth as a prescription remedy for alcoholism weight gain, etc. Fentanyl, responsible for the majority of opioid deaths in “the opioid crisis” was invented by Janssen Pharmaceutica

And for those addicts who want off, there’s “Medication Assisted Treatment” (MAT) to swap the user to opioids covered by insurance. And for overdoses, there’s a $4500 dose of naloxone.

In the background, you have the shrinks inventing disorders as fast as they can brainstorm them, so their pharma buddies can invent a drug to “maintain” it. Cures are impossible, they say, and drug addicts and mental health patients need maintenance drugs for the rest of their lives.

Once you know the destination, it’s easy to follow the trail, and the trail leads to a country run by the psychs and BigPharma, full of drug-addicted slaves — that’s the “off-label” application of these drugs. And for side-effects?  BigPharma rakes in about $1 trillion a year currently, with huge expansion on the horizon.

FDA Steps in to Stop Gaming of Orphan Drug System

The FDA is changing the rules on orphan drugs, according to a story on NPR. Makers of orphan drugs – which are developed for rare diseases that affect less than 200,000 people – get special treatment from the FDA, such as tax credits, waivers of fees and a seven-year monopoly on the drug. But orphan drugs can command huge price tags to consumers, and an investigation is under way after critics said some of the orphans — such as the psychopharmaceutical Abilify — were already licensed for common use by the FDA. New Commissioner Scott Gottlieb also announced other measures to be implemented.

The Return of  Government Mind Control Programs

CIA Director Richard Helms, who in 1973 tried to destroy all trace of MKULTRA.

Back during the Cold War, the government – worried about Soviet, Chinese and North Korean brainwashing – began experimenting with mind control techniques. One of the worst was MKULTRA. According to government records:  “Between 1953 and 1966,” said the Supreme Court, “the Central Intelligence Agency financed a wide-ranging project, code-named MKULTRA, concerned with ‘the research and development of chemical, biological, and radiological materials capable of employment in clandestine operations to control human behavior.’ The program consisted of some 149 subprojects which the Agency contracted out to various universities, research foundations, and similar institutions. At least 80 institutions and 185 private researchers participated. Because the Agency funded MKULTRA indirectly, many of the participating individuals were unaware that they were dealing with the Agency.”

Unfortunately, in 1973, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MKULTRA records destroyed. Fortunately, some 20,000 documents were later discovered, and in 2001 some surviving information was declassified and thus much of the impact of this program became public record.

What was discovered were horrific experiments – many conducted with unwitting subjects – using drugs such as LSD, electroshock, and unconsciousness to eliminate memories or to plant false ones. “Psychic driving” by Dr. Ewen Cameron, killing an elephant with LSD by Louis Jolyon West and electrical and chemical brain implants by Manuel Rodriguez Delgado.

Recently, Rodriguez Delgado’s work with implants that delivered electricity and chemicals directly to the brain (which he called stimoceivers and chemitrodes respectively) have returned with more advanced technology, disguised as help and healing. “Electroceuticals,” developed by GlaxoSmithKline and other drug firms, are electronic brain implants to replace the heavy hand of psychopharmaceuticals with their no-better-than-placebo results, skyrocketing costs, unpredictable and sometimes lethal side effects, and competition by generic drug equivalents.

Pharmaceutical companies, the military and psychiatry are again hard at work to recreate the same mind-control techniques supposedly abandoned almost 70 years ago. Consider that DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency predicts that within a few years, scientists will gain the ability to wipe out a PTSD-causing memory and replace it with something else. Flowers and sunny days, perhaps. DARPA’s “Electrical Prescriptions” program (ElectRx) seeks to develop “… real-time biosensors and novel neural interfaces using optical, acoustic, electromagnetic, or engineered biology strategies…” Like MKULTRA, mind control experiments are targeted on veterans – in World War II they were afflicted with “shell shock” or “battle fatigue,” and in recent times, it’s “PTSD.” It seems that veterans in trouble are convenient targets for experiments in mind control.

And Louis Jolyon West’s psychedelic druggings are back again as well. The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) seeks to use MDMA, LSD, psilocybin, and similar drugs to “treat” PTSD and other conditions.

So can the government, big pharma and psychiatry be trusted with mind control? In the 1950s they secretly implemented a mind control agenda with MKULTRA using drugs, electrical stimulation and electroshock. Do they deserve a second chance with the latest and greatest technology? Have they reformed?

In 2013 Edward Snowden exposed a secret NSA surveillance program called Prism. Twenty years earlier, the Clinton Administration tried to implement the Clipper Chip that would put a government backdoor in all computers and networks. That flopped amid public outrage, but it seems now that the government went ahead anyway snooping into phone records, Internet, email and other communications.

The FDA just decided to lower the risk category of electroconvulsive “therapy” so children can receive it, and pharmaceuticals are now a $1.5 trillion dollar economic giant. So no, these psychedelic, electrode implanting, pill pushing electroshocking cretins cannot be trusted and must be stopped.
