Drug abuse is killing Americans by the tens-of-thousands. In addition to the
250,000 prescription deaths
every year in U.S. from legitimate drug usage, there's an additional 20,000
deaths from recreational use of prescription drugs.
I have suffered with agonizing neck pain since
2004 from Cervical Degenerative Disk Disease (my neck is falling apart).
Oxycontin is a blessing for me (prescribed by my doctor), killing most of my
pain most of the time (but not always). Nothing less than 40 mg at once
helps kill my pain. Sometimes I need to take 80mg. Presently I'm taking 140
mg daily. Anything less and I'm a basket case of pain. Unfortunately,
5,000,000 Americans with good health are abusing prescription drugs for
recreation. Oxycontin is their drug of choice.
So a bunch of idiots are calling for more laws,
more regulations, even calling for the drug to be banned. What they don't
want to admit is that you can pass all the laws you want, increase prison
terms, ban all the drugs you want; but people are going to find others way
to abuse themselves if that's what they want to do.
Disturbing Video Documentary On Prescription
Drug Abuse
The following is a disturbing video documentary
revealing the epidemic problem of prescription drug abuse nationwide. In
particular, Appalachian families from Kentucky throughout Tennessee and the
Carolinas (often called “Pill-Billies”) drive down to Florida and buy the
prescription drugs. Many pharmacies don't keep any records, which suggests
that the government is complicit in the ongoing racket. Proper medical
documentation and identification would prevent much of the abuse. The
pharmaceutical companies stand to gain much profits from the ongoing abuse.
Also, as way of introduction, in the video you
will learn that the buyers and sellers often get set-up by police and go to
prison, but never the doctors. Again, that indicates strongly that the
government FDA and law enforcement are complicit to the crimes. By the way,
they have a totally nude
LEGAL
adult beach in Miami, Florida (where children are welcomed and do
regularly attend). So should it be surprising that Florida is also the
prescription drug supplier of the entire eastern half of the country?
Southern Florida is worse today than Sodom and Gomorrah in the Old
Testament! Oxycontin is the drug of choice and is commonly referred to as
“Hillbilly Heroine.”
It is important for you to understand that a
rogue gang of criminals have taken over our country's government. They
control The White House, the Pentagon, Homeland Security, FEMA, TSA, the
FBI, the FDA, the BATF, the CIA, and every other high office of government.
Most of the people working within these organizations are as woefully
ignorant as the rest of the American public. The top key officials are all
working as puppets for the globalists now. They sent Rahm Immanuel to
Chicago (which they also now own), straight from the Barack Obama
administration. Chicago will never have another legitimate election (and
they haven't since Richard Daley Jr. took office, aka, Mr. Mob Boss).
The Bush family is evil beyond grasp. When Jeb
Bush was governor of Florida, he was their foot in the door so-to-speak. It
was no coincidence that George W. Bush governed Texas and his brother Jeb
Bush, governed Florida (the two southernmost importation spots for illegal
drugs into our nation. The stench of the evil reaches into Heaven above. God
is still on His throne and regardeth the matter. Ecclesiastes 5:8 and
12:14, “If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of
judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is
higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.... For God
shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be
good, or whether it be evil.” Blessed be the name of the Lord my God.
Please watch this documentary and heed the
message. There are several lessons to be learned. In the videos you'll
repeatedly hear how friends and/or family got someone else started abusing
prescription drugs. YOUR FRIENDS WILL MAKE YOU OR BREAK YOU! Be careful of
your friends. It ain't worth it. Prescription pain killers are a big
blessing from God if you're suffering, but NEVER give even one pill to
someone else. Besides the risk of them dying if their body is not opiate
tolerant (even one dose of 40 mg Oxycodone can kill a person if they're not
tolerant), you are also risking a mandatory federal prison sentence of
3-years locked up with hardcore criminals. Just one pill can ruin your
life!!! ...
We are in trouble in our nation. Those are some
sad videos. I hurt to see everyday people turning to crime. No doubt many of
them cannot find a job. That doesn't make it right, not at all. But my
pastor used to say (and he is correct), that a person without a job is more
likely to be tempted to do wrong than a person with a job. The point being
that we need to be extra careful to stay close to the Scriptures and right
with God during times of hardship, affliction and turmoil in our lives.
Having said that, everyone needs to abide in the Scriptures these days like
never before, because wickedness and tough times are all around us, and
right in our faces.
Morality Cannot Be
Legislated
You cannot force a person to do
right. If forced, the wicked human heart will rebel and simply look for
another way to do evil. The evil in the human heart cannot be tamed. That's
why Jesus said “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that
which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man” (Matthew 15:11). That is
why the Bible says in James 3:8, “But the tongue can no man tame; it is
an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.” Jeremiah 17:9 teaches that the
heart of man is evil through-and-through, desperately wicked and deceitful
above all else. All of the modern psychology, psychiatry and so called
higher learning totally ignores this Biblical truth.
Morality cannot be legislated...
"More people die
in America every year from prescription drug abuse than die from heroin
and cocaine combined. That stunning finding comes in a new report
Tuesday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC found a fourfold increase in deaths from prescription narcotics
over the past decade. Not surprisingly, it coincides with a fourfold
increase in the number of prescriptions written for the powerful
painkillers.
In 2008, the most recent year for which there are statistics, there were
20,044 overdose deaths from prescription drugs. Of those, 14,800 were
from narcotic painkillers.
“Prescription overdoses are epidemic in the U.S.”, says Dr. Thomas
Frieden, director of the CDC. Most people who die from prescription drug
overdose are taking someone else’s medicines, he says. “Medicines that
were left in the medicine cabinet. Medicines that were given to a friend
or a relative. Maybe innocently, maybe maliciously.”
Prescription narcotics are being handed out almost like candy by doctors
– some of whom are genuinely interested in patient care – others who run
so-called “pill mills”, where narcotic prescriptions are traded for cash
to feed addictions. The CDC study found that enough narcotics are
prescribed every year to medicate each and every adult in America every
day for a month."
A shocking 5,000,000 healthy Americans abuse
prescription drugs just for recreational use to have fun. Was the Bible so
horrible in America's classrooms? In 1963 the U.S. Supreme Court banned the
Bible and prayer from America's school system. Teachers were no longer
allowed to read the Word of God to children. You cannot remove God and
morality from children's lives, and then think you're going to use
legislation as a tool to force them to do right. The Bible teaches men to do
right for the fear of God, not for the fear of man. Without a higher moral
conscience to guide them, men will do what is right in their own eyes (which
is always evil). ...
"Did you know that over 5 million Americans ages 12 and up are taking
prescribed painkillers for reasons that aren't medically necessary each
year in the U.S.? This new data comes from the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration and was published in Health Pop on
CBS News.
Florida has seen a near 9 percent increase in deaths related to
prescription drugs up from 2009, even though law enforcement staged an
aggressive crackdown. Oxycodone has been the main culprit, causing over
1,500 deaths in 2010 alone, compared to 1,185 the year before. This is
the second year in a row that prescription drugs have outdone illegal
drug as the leading cause of death. There were nearly three times the
number of deaths in Florida from oxycodone as compared to cocaine."
All across the United States and
its outlying territories, sin is flourishing. I've been listening to the
Bible on DVD by Alexander Scourby. It's one of the biggest blessings in my
life. I have never liked reading. It's strange. I love learning, but I hate
reading. I love the Bible, but it's laborious to read through all those Old
Testament genealogies. But it's pleasant to listen to the Bible being read.
I have learned so much from just listening to the Bible being read. I've
heard the Old Testament dozens of times in the past couple of months. I'm
listening to 1st Chronicles right now while I'm typing. I can't recommend
enough getting the King James Bible (nothing else) on DVD. It also comes as
MP3's, CD's and even tapes (but there's like 73 tapes).
"Every day in the US, 2,500 youth (12 to 17) abuse a prescription pain
reliever for the first time.
Prescription drug abuse, while most prevalent in the US, is a problem in
many areas around the world including Europe, Southern Africa and South
Asia. In the US alone, more than 15 million people abuse prescription
drugs, more than the combined number who reported abusing cocaine,
hallucinogens, inhalants and heroin.
In 2006 in the United States, 2.6 million people abused prescription
drugs for the first time.
A 2007 survey in the US found that 3.3% of 12- to 17-year-olds and 6% of
17- to 25-year-olds had abused prescription drugs in the past month.
Prescription drug abuse causes the largest percentage of deaths from
drug overdosing. Of the 22,400 drug overdose deaths in the US in 2005,
opioid painkillers were the most commonly found drug, accounting for
38.2% of these deaths.
In 2005, 4.4 million teenagers (aged 12 to 17) in the US admitted to
taking prescription painkillers, and 2.3 million took a prescription
stimulant such as Ritalin. 2.2 million abused over-the-counter drugs
such as cough syrup. The average age for first-time users is now 13 to
14.
Depressants, opioids and antidepressants are responsible for more
overdose deaths (45%) than cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and
amphetamines (39%) combined. In the United States, the most deaths used
to take place in inner cities in African-American neighborhoods, but
they have now been overtaken by white rural communities. The same trend
can be seen in the rates of hospitalization for substance abuse and
emergency hospitalization for overdoses. Of the 1.4 million drug-related
emergency room admissions in 2005, 598,542 were associated with abuse of
pharmaceuticals alone or with other drugs.
By survey, almost 50% of teens believe that prescription drugs are much
safer than illegal street drugs—60% to 70% say that home medicine
cabinets are their source of drugs.
According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at
Columbia University, teens who abuse prescription drugs are twice as
likely to use alcohol, five times more likely to use marijuana, and
twelve to twenty times more likely to use illegal street drugs such as
heroin, Ecstasy and cocaine than teens who do not abuse prescription
drugs."
America sadly is becoming the
scorn of the world. Whereas we were once the envy of the world, not people
are wagging their heads asking what happened? Sin destroys any nation.
America's Christian marriages were once the backbone of our nation. Only by
having godly pulpits on fire for God can the next generation have any hope.
America's church pulpits are DEAD and have been dead for decades. America's
last Billy Sunday was Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001). Psalms 11:3, “If the
foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Without the
foundation of Bible-believing, soul-winning, God-fearing, righteous,
sin-hating Christians in churches all across America we are doomed.
Albeit, the only answer to America's woes rests
in our heart's attitude toward God. We must repent of our sins and unbelief
as a nation, beginning by obeying the Gospel (good news) of Christ
crucified. God's command is for us to believe the good news that Jesus
Christ DIED, was BURIED and RESURRECTED three days later (1st Corinthians
15:1-4). Believe and the work is done! If you acknowledge your guilt of
sins, and receive THE GOSPEL as payment for YOUR SINS, then you are saved
instantly, irrevocably and permanently. Eternal life will be yours forever
my friend, if you'll simply put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ to
forgive your sins through the blood that He shed on the cross. It's easy to
be saved.
Idiots Seek To Ban Oxycontin And Punish All
Doctors And Pain-Sufferers
I thank God for my pain killers. I take 140 mg
per day of Oxycontin (plus Oxycodone for breakthrough pain) by prescription
from my doctor. At various times since 2004 I have taken a combination of
prescription Morphine Sulfate, Percocet, Vicodin, Oxycontin, Oxycodone, the
Fentanyl Patch, Dilaudid and other pain medications. Thank God for them! You
can read about my long-term hellish ordeal with pain and suffering in my
article titled, NO
ONE KNOWS YOUR PAIN.
This week my doctor told me that I've always
been very responsible with my medications, in response to my concerns over
the long-term use of opiate pain killers. That made me feel good after all
the crap I've read about south Florida and across the country. It's getting
crazy these days! Also, check out this video sermon on
ADDICTIONS. Thank God for caring
preachers!
Anybody who calls for Oxycontin to be banned is
a fool. Some idiots who never had to survive and learn to cope with chronic
pain don't realize what they are saying, when they call for a ban on pain
killers. I wish such people could have my neck pain for just one week.
Without the opiate based medications they'd either commit suicide or be a
basket-case of emotions, panic and tears. I feel chronic pain in my neck
when the meds wear off.
My situation is weird. My pain and ripping neck
tension began all at once in March of 2004. Literally overnight! An MRI in
June (after months of my chiropractor trying everything to no avail) showed
protruding disks at C5-C6-C7, but I wasn't a candidate for surgery until
years later. When I did get ACDF surgery in 2009, the pain was exactly the
same (no relief). So a different surgeon redid the surgery in 2010 to ground
down a bone spur at the same location and do a hip bone graft. I not only
had the original pain still, but now I had peripheral neuropathy (burning,
tingling, puffiness and pain) in both arms and legs. I went into major
depression. How could an adverse health condition just begin out of nowhere
and then not go away when the disks pinching my spinal cord at C5-C6-C7 were
removed?
The only answer that makes sense is that God
wanted me to carry this burden for the rest of my life to humble me, and to
teach me about His grace, and to teach me to trust Him and learn suffering,
and to relate to others to help them in my ministry. But oh the price that I
have paid in unbearable neck pain. It hurts now as I type. It is so bad,
even with the medications. Yet I know that God is good and He knows what is
best for me. I love and trust the Lord Jesus (Proverbs 3:5-7).
I used to take 8 Percocet 10/325's per day!!!
The 325 mg is Tylenol. The Oxycontin is pure Oxycodone without the Tylenol
(acetaminophen). Now I don't take any Tylenol, which is good. Tylenol
in high doses is dangerous to the liver (safe max is 4,000 mg per day, or
1,000 mg in a single dose). Still, Tylenol is Tylenol.
I do sometimes forget to take my medications,
but the toothache-like agonizing, raw, gnawing, constant, merciless pain in
my neck begins to torment me. I completely understand why a person in pain
would search out illegal drugs on the street of proper pain medications were
not readily available. If the government bans pain killers, I guarantee you
that pain sufferers will go find heroine or whatever alleviates their
suffering. The following doctor is upset, understandably, because the
authorities are treating him like a drug-dealer for prescribing pain meds to
patients...
Florida is finally seeing
a drop in pill mills and doctors prescribing painkillers
after enacting a 2011 law toughening penalties against
doctors and clinics engaged in prescription drug
trafficking.
Still, such a stance has consequences. A group sued the
state in 2010 over the pill mill crackdown. One of the
doctors, Paul Sloan, owner of Florida pain management
clinics in Fort Myers and Sarasota, says that there's no
question that some doctors and clinic owners were doing
bad things, but that the state has overreacted.
"We're dealing with a war on legitimate medications
that's being dealt with like we're all cartels and drug
lords," he said.
Banking Fraud Causes Economic Depression And
Promotes Crime
The sinister wealthy elite who own the Federal
Reserve and are
deliberately bankrupting our nation are causing millions of Americans to
go into sin. Every day 7,200 more Americans lose their home to the crooked
banks. The entire ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage) deal was a fraudulent scam
by the banks intended to entrap home-buyers. They knew the job situation was
only going to worsen in America. They knew that interest rates would rise
considerably, because THEY RAISED THEM!!! Of course tens-or-millions of
citizens lost everything!!!
The elite who own the Federal Reserve Banks made
it happen! They control and print money. They set interest
rates and determine inflation (and thus deflation).
They have stolen
trillions-of-dollars from the retirement accounts of Americans just by
devaluing the dollar (thus eroding the real spending power of your acquired
savings). It was planned that way. It's a science ladies and gentleman.
Inflation is a tax and don't forget that! This is why these two groups are
in the partnership.
On the government side they are able
to tax their citizens in any unlimited amount without the people even
knowing they are in fact paying a tax. On the banking side they are able to
collect perpetual interest on NOTHING (fiat money printed out of thin air).
Yet when they lend you some of their NOTHING
money, they make you sign away your home and assets (all your marbles) as
collateral for a home mortgage or loan. They win no matter what happens—in
times of expansion or contraction.
This is the bottom line—those who gain
your lost purchasing power are the two groups that comprise the partnership
in the Federal Reserve System: the government and the banking cartel. Now
this process is a tax, I don't care what you call it. Inflation is a tax!!!
They know what they're doing. Real investors don't invest in the U.S. dollar, because it has no intrinsic
value anymore (but it did 150 years ago when money was backed by gold and
silver). Originally, money was only created as a convenience, rather than
carrying bags of coins around with you. Over the past century money has been
turned by crooks into a game of lying, thieving and stealing (they win, you
lose!).
This is an excellent explanation of what happened. Today, one U.S.
dollar is worth what the Federal Reserve decides it's worth. But their
wealth is safe in gold, silver, real estate and commodities that are
tangible real assets.
The answer is NOT in The White House. The
answer is NOT in politics, nor legislation, nor education, nor reformation,
nor rehabilitation; but rather, the answer is in REGENERATION, that is,
being born anew by the Spirit of God, by faith in the Word of God. Ye must
be born again (John 3:5-7). I've said it before and I'll say it again and
again... morality cannot be legislated (i.e., forced by the hand of law).
You can pass ten-million laws in an attempt to force people to live upright,
but they will still find other ways to do evil.
And also, it has always been the case that laws
are selectively enforced. This is because of man's sinful nature. Laws are
only made to afflict a certain group, but others are exempt.
Case in point, not one Wall Street executive has been arrested for
ripping off $12.2 trillion from U.S. taxpayers in the congressional Banker
Bailouts since 2008. Congress has sold us out big time!!! Yet, a carwash
business owner in Sacramento, California was visited by the IRS men in black
suits who demanded payment because he
owed them 4 cents. No kidding, search it on Google.
Do you think God does not see the injustice of
these rotten villains? Oh, He does my friend, yes, He certainly does see
everything! Jesus warned that men will be held accountable on judgment day
for even the words they speak (Matthew 12:36-37; Matthew 7:1-2). I am
thankful that God is a holy and just God, and that He has promised to judge
men for even the smallest wrongdoings (which seem insignificant to many
people in this baby-murdering evil generation of ingrates).
All they have to do to stop the racket in south
Florida is to no longer honor out of state prescriptions. In the earlier
video that I shared with you, titled THE OXYCONTIN EXPRESS, they talk about
doctor's clinics with on-site pharmacies. Most states legally prohibit
on-site pharmacies to prevent the incentive for abusing the sale of
prescription drugs. Florida needs to change that one law and the problem
will go away. The state government is clearly complicit in the abuse. Why
doesn't it surprise me that Jeb Bush was the recent governor. It appears
that the Bush family is synonymous with drugs, legal and illegal. The entire
war in Afghanistan is about protecting the globalists heroin crops.
Literally, 90% of the world's heroin supply
comes from Afghanistan. But the evil goes much further, even kidnapping and
raping children, all complicit with the Afghan government.
Heroin Afghan Drug Wars
1 of 4 (global elite use troops to support
pedophilia and
heroin).
The truth is that the globalists have put druglord-warlord, thugs in charge
of Afghanistan and their is no legitimate government there, just like in
Iraq after allegedly being liberated by NATO forces.
Interestingly, if you watch the disturbing
video you will learn that Afghan families (most farmers) are forced into
financial hardships (This is what they are doing to Americans today by
trashing our economy). Then the Afghans are offered money loans from
druglords, which if they don't accept they will starve (much like ObamaCare,
which prior to passing was preceded by 20,000 American deaths each year from
lack of health insurance). You see, the criminals create the problem,
then thy offer the solution.
So the Afghan families are forced more into
financial decline and hardship, making it impossible to repay the loan (just
like Americans weren't able to repay their mortgages and lost their homes to
the bankers). The same criminal tactics are used here as there! Wake up!
Then the druglords come confiscate the Afghan
farmer's daughters and sons to be raped by pedophiles and work as slaves.
This is really happening in the world today. And if that's not sick enough,
your sons and daughters serving in the U.S. military are making it happen,
being exploited as paid heroin farmers and mercenaries to protect such
evils.
Geraldo Rivera of FOXNEWS visited Afghan and
that evil man actually defended the Afghan druglords, saying that America's
troops couldn't interfere with the growing of poppy (heroin) or else the
locals would hate the U.S. and want our troops to leave. Ladies and
gentleman, can you believe this bullcrap from FoxNews? The Russian
government called for NATO to destroy all the poppy crops, but the United
Nations said no. Every year 70,000 Russians die from heroin addiction. The
Bible tells us that the love of money is the root of all evil (1st Timothy
6:10).
Illegal drug-trafficking is synonymous around
the world with human-trafficking. In America, drug-dealing pimps enslave
whores on the street with drug-addiction. Thugs are thugs. Children are
often victimized in families that are involved with drugs. America's street
gang underground culture is all about money. From the cradle-to-the-casket,
their entire life is nothing but loyalty to the gang. The Devil owns them.
They kill rival gang members if they feel disrespected, but they are cowards
in God's eyes and there is nothing respectable about the gangs or what they
do.
People are driving to Florida to get drugs from
the doctors. So stop selling to people from Kentucky. Why are people driving
1,000 miles to Florida anyway? The reason is because there's a racket going
on in south Florida and the state seems to be sanctioning it. They'll fire a
few people to appease the public, and then hire them back through the back
door. I saw that in Chicago for years when I grew up there. Mayor Daley was
quick to apologize and fire someone when his administration got caught with
their pants down. That appeased everyone until the next Silver Shovel
Scandal. And so the crime continued for the entire 20-years he was mayor of
Chicago. A total mob boss! Now Satan himself has become mayor of Chicago,
Rahm Immanuel. Guns have been banned; yet murder rates are up! Recording an
abusive cop by law brings 15 years in prison. That's so wrong! So the cops
can record you, but you can't record the cops. Police brutality is
increasing nationwide.
Do you think all the drugs, gangs, crooked
doctors and evil is just happening? My friend, all that poppy from Afghan's
fields is flooding into America and I promise you it's only going to get
MUCH worse. There's too much money to be made for them to stop this evil.
The same people flooding the drugs into America own the prisons (and
they're building more and bigger prisons).

Drug abuse is killing Americans by the tens-of-thousands. In addition to the
