EVIL DEA
EVIL DEA
It was a conspiracy against the American people to be coerced into being in a medical database and that once the fix was in, more Americans would be denied certain types of medications, especially medications that are used to get rid of pain.
The problem that truly affects us is the notion that when it comes to health we can all be placed in a “one size fits all” program that is controlled by heavy handed politicians and economists that want only the best care for themselves and care that is barely good enough for the American people.
The problem that can also be exposed is how the American patient is the suspect and victim when it comes to obtaining the right medications to heal and or control pain.
Many Americans do not know that if they are using a controlled substance for pain relief or a drug that may be considered a risk they have reason to be paranoid. The reason is simple: from doctor to pharmacy to your home, you may or may not know that you are now subject to wire taps and undercover spies that may be informants to the DEA.
In fact, one of the informants could be your doctor. Doctors are now being pressured into assuming that all of their patients are drug seekers. If you have been subjected to urine tests, pain agreements, interrogation and impromptu “pill counts” where you are asked to bring in your bottle to the office, and then you will know that you along other patients are suspected of abusing or selling their medications.
It is because some doctors are afraid of an audit where officials have threatened to take practices away if the doctors don’t do as they are told.
As prescription drug abuse has risen, the DEA has come under increasing pressure from Congress to show it is containing the problem. A report from the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office said the DEA had not shown its strategy was working and called for clearer performance measures.
Their solution was to employ the very methods used to track and spy on so-called potential terror suspects.
This raises the real issue of Government Overreach and whether or not you can safely be treated without the threat of being flagged, tracked or interrogated by the DEA.
Today it did not surprise me that the DEA announced that Hydrocodone will now be considered a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substance Act.
The action, which takes effect in 45 days, will tighten the government’s regulatory control over the drugs and boost criminal penalties for anyone caught illegally dealing or possessing them.
Pure hydrocodone drugs have been listed as Schedule II drugs since the advent of the list in 1971. But hydrocodone-combination products (HCPs) — those made with specified amounts of other therapeutically active non-narcotic ingredients — were listed as the less-restrictive Schedule III.
In heightening restriction of the drugs, the DEA is putting them on par with powerful illegal narcotics including heroin and methamphetamine, as well as commonly abused medications Adderall and Ritalin. The move, first considered a decade ago, follows findings that abuse of hydrocodone combinations has raised dramatically in recent years.
For the millions of patients who rely on drugs such as Vicodin or Lortab for relief from severe pain, the new rules will sharply reduce how many pills a doctor can prescribe for them at one time. Doctors, who under schedule III could prescribe a six-month supply as a 30-day prescription with up to five refills, will now be limited to a three-month supply under schedule II. The rule also mandates that doctors must write the prescriptions in 30-day increments that can only be filled sequentially. Pain patients using the drugs will have visited their doctors every three months for a new prescription.
The change also adds a new layer of regulations manufacturers and pharmacies, which must keep the drugs under tighter security and keep more extensive records. Records of course that will be used in the Affordable health care security apparatus, the Obama care Medical police state.
I proposed last year that the Obama administration wants to control your health and especially wants to decide who gets treated for pain and who doesn’t.
The DEA decision is said to be a cure all for addiction and will most certainly cut back the deaths associated with accidental overdoses and abuse of the medications. What they won’t tell you is that this type of restriction will breed more criminal behavior. While the United States has not really been fingered as a country where heroin use runs rampant, the restrictions on this medication will create a rise in the use of heroin, which increases every time there is a so called restriction or crack down on prescription pain medication abuse. Sure, a few people may not abuse the medications, but that will be offset by the increase use and abuse of heroin.
This will also cause an increase of people leaving the United States because of medical issues.
Oxycodone, another highly abused painkiller and the main ingredient in OxyContin, has been in the more restrictive category since it first came on the market. Oxycodone and methadone account for far more overdose deaths than hydrocodone.
Does this indicate what will happen next? It most certainly will breed a new criminal and it won’t be kids getting their first high… it will be Grandma and Grandpa trying to get medication for that painful hip.
The question is why this happening is as the FDA first rejected the idea of changing the status of these hydrocodone combinations. Statistically only 1-10 % of patients prescribed these medications will become addicted and that is according to FDA.
The Media has successfully demonized these pain killers and when a celebrity is found dead from an overdose we are often told that they were taking hydrocodone. Immediately we think that this has killed them when reality the silent killer is the Acetaminophen and antidepressant combination that puts a strain on the liver.
Celebrities like Anna Nicole Smith and Heath Ledger were found dead with narcotics combinations in their bodies; however both also had taken a dose of Nyquil or Theraflu which caused liver failure. Both contained heavy amounts of paracetamol acetaminophen.
Now it may not be all that simplistic but it seems that the demonizing of those is pain is quite simply put the cornerstone of the police state and part of the Orwellian nightmare.
In the book 1984, George Orwell wrote, “Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.”
When you have all the money in the world, and all of the power you can have, what is left to get? Perhaps it is the souls of the people. Those in control don’t need more money; they obviously can steal it and print it. They don’t care about your health, they want to keep you sick and in pain.
The ramifications of controlling pain are huge in scope. Every organism on this planet responds to pain. No Police state can exist without the ability to give out pain in all forms. The tortures we read about and criticize are academic and in the same way the CIA or any other black ops group tortures enemy combatants we also suffer a post traumatic stress response to this type of behavior.
It is the threat of pain and torture that deep down frightens us. We can put up a good front for courage. We can say “better them than us” but the truth is we are them. They are us.
Shocks to the system create cognitive crisis and pain. Those who control pain control the populace. You see, pain is what is controlling us and those who have the power to relieve the pain are also those who have the power to inflict it.
Access to health records gives them the capability of controlling pain and gives them the ability to decide who deserves to be relieved of their pain. If anyone doubts the power of pain as a tool to control people’s behavior they need only to look at the experiments that were carried out by the Nazis.
These experiments in pain for control were carried through to the academics at Yale and Harvard. They were perfected by the CIA and other groups and now they are being implemented with absolutely no limits. This is why Torture is not condemned or not being altered in war. Because in a moment of pain people could say or do almost anything including kill another human being.
We have all seen the rat in the experiment where he presses the bar in order to get a jolt to the pleasure centers of his brain. He will do it so much he falls limp from exhaustion. He runs around madly in his wheel in order to avoid any pain that is being given him by the controllers.
The experiments evolve where there is no longer anything provided to take away his pain. After a while the rodent learns to live with his pain and also awaits his next blow. This is known as “learned helplessness.” Soon the rat becomes fearful, and mean. He eventually dies. Giving more control to government will ease your pain at first – it will become an “opiate solution.”
When we look at “Opiate” as a wide spread metaphor we must understand that it was used as a part of policy. In the times of Karl Marx, “Opiate” was used in a social sense as a metaphor in his day.
“Opiate” was used sociologically as a term for anything that would soothe social turmoil. Literally, with the help of Karl Marx it is loosely defined as a social pain reliever. Since the socialist evolutionary process includes inflicting and relieving pain and controlling the “Opiate.” “Opiate policies” must be looked into as a means to an end. It is a means of control by the government where big brother watches you and controls your intake of that which takes away your pain and stress.
We can also see this as a method of culling the populace as these new restrictions will actually increase the number of suicide deaths of people who suffer chronic pain.
Imagine for a moment having to plan your life having to remember make a doctors appointment each and every month, for a urine test, a pill count and an interrogation.
Think of planning your life around refill dates, days when you may need more or less of the medication to function and wondering, constantly, if tomorrow will be a good day or a bad day. Think of not being able to go on vacation and enjoy it, or of going and having to plan the trip upon when you will need a refill. Think of these things and consider how you would feel.
People with legitimate chronic pain issues need support and care; now they are being forced to make their lives more difficult and being treated like criminals.
