In Mexico it is called cartels (illegal), in the US it is called pharmaceutical companies (legal)
Exactly
Most true statement I’ve ever read!
“In 2009 the DEA slapped McKesson, the countries largest distributor of pharmaceuticals with a $13.4 million fine!” Wow, I bet that taught them a lesson...
What you think 🤔 getting a fine of any amount would teach them a lesson?? Just goes to show what kind of person you are.. SICK
@@shahkhan6713 he was being facetious. I think that was lost on you.
@@shahkhan6713 r/whooosh
They prolly didn’t even notice that money was gone since they have billions
But then they tickled them for an hour each
my right earbud loved this video
Omicron 😆 🎧 why did that happen? Lol I obviously noticed it but then I saw your comment and I started literally laughing out loud haha
Lmao
Lobbying should be made illegal.
Then again, Congress and Senate need information from all important parts of the country, including large businesses. So they also need contact persons. My suggestion would be to finance congresspeople and senators by tax money, providing them with a fixed amount of money for their office. And then have strict regulations for donations, including full transparency.
Corruption should be illegal, including any involving lobbyists. ( represent.us )
11:49 gave me chills, when the interviewer says “this is the DEA” and the agent just looks so defeated saying “yeah you would think” they want to do their job and we want them to do their job too but they just can’t. These pharmaceutical companies really broke the system, corrupted it. It’s a da*m shame.
Then there is the DEA overreach not allowing Dr's. To appropriately treat pain. This is absolutely happening.
@@DW-vd9mp unfortunately one problem seems to have a direct Correlation :/
The rich & powerful have a different set of rules to live by. Our laws don’t apply; they use power or money to buy their way around them. Corporations, big pharma, big oil, private prisons...lobbyists get laws passed not the people. Until we get dark money out of politics corporations will continue to purchase our politicians and our government. We still have our voting power. Vote!
Voting Power. Really just a little side note, your vote won’t stop this because it is secured on all sides. The law is on the side of the prescription hustlers. Stop lying to yourself and others. You will never stop this.
0n
I didn’t even know there were private prisons
And most importantly your Praying Power! Pray, Vote and especially for the Enemies of Our Country. They’re are Many.
If I were a DEA officer and watched my own government and my fellow agents turn on me I would assume that they had been paid off, and then I would black ops those fools in the dark.
That's just not realistic.
RICO Act should be applied to corporate leadership.
It does via tax revenue#file it!
Greed is a cancer
The War on Drugs seems to be a war on competition: legal drugs winning; same as the War on Terrorism, where legal terror is also winning!
Every war on something is a fight for centralisation of control.
Just don't ever have a accident or end up in the ER they won't let you have any.. they changed the video.. first McKesson was opening up doc in the boxes across the country.. changed it before the Sen. Snuck a bill in to cover up for McKesson. Guess vets elderly people with dieases.. don't matter to them.. we lost 800,000 ppl to the prescription prohabition that created the now illegal drugs explosion..
DEA and FDA Directors do what Senators and president staff tell them to do. Pharmaceutical industry finance political campaigns and good money to doctors and scholars to testify in public hearings. The corruption inside the congress had been there for a long time.
It's chilling how all the bad guys succeeded at the expense
of the good guy
😊
😊
😊
😊😊
😊
These pharmaceutical executives and their lawyers will have to stand before God one day.
Meanwhile...their replacements will continue to do the same thing...#notasolution
You have a crime conspiracy ring. Use RICO!
Follow the money and what do you find? People in places of public trust that are despicable.
Well the DEA got what they wanted. They have total control over pain meds now. Pain clinics are to scared to prescribe pain meds. They prescribe too little or don’t prescribe at all. It’s always sad to see cancer patients get rejected pain medicine.
Opioids were only a hospice med to begin with. HOSPICE people not an everyday med.
How about a bill that stops the revolving door.
What a disappointment, our own government complacent in killing their own citizens.
I love that one of the coauthors of a story called "The Whistleblower" has the last name "Hornblower".
This opioid hysteria needs to stop. Alcohol takes more lives, but I guess they have better lobbyist or alcohol is just socially more acceptable. Get illicit fentanyl off the streets and watch the overdose rates plummet. Do better with education on all substances. More and improved rehab centers. Stop the blame and shame. Healthcare for all! America is not a civilized nation. It’s embarrassing.
Why r street corner dealers going to jail then if they are essentially doing the same thing?
Cause their product is illegal duh 🙄
@@youngmedi8447 not a good response because opiates are schedule 2 drugs as well.
Cause the Dea makes money off of them.
23:45 "Why are these people sponsoring bills, when people in their backyards are dying..?"
This could be a Jeopardy question, and everyone would know the answer.
the us is the only country that allows regulators to go and work for the companies they are regulating immediately after. creates a massive conflict of interest.
Drugs should be decriminalized, it worked in Portugal. DEA is a colossal waste of money.
Sara Marcoux we are talking about a different strain of drugs here. In Portugal they decriminalized the consumption and channeled the money otherwise spent on busting users , into treatment, on the addiction of recreational drugs.
The Portuguese Law Enforcement still does bust and seize illegal drugs trafficking.
So what they did was to decriminalize possession of small quantities and offer treatment to those caught.
Get your facts right
Agreed, Sara!
Meanwhile you get charge for you weed
Or you get slandered because you see through the corruption
My left ear was pleased with this video
why dont people ever get skeptical about a DEA guy wanting the tax payer to pay to give him more work?
No one individual ever gets in trouble. We only name the business involved. We fine the business. The individuals working within the business who actually make the decision to commit crime get away with crime. So what the justice department fined a business? Where's the criminal management getting in trouble? Big pharma, big banks, big oil...it's all the same. I see these people in the justice department who go after the business and not the individuals running the business as short sighted and doing much less than they actually should be doing.
This is sick what they got away with for so long because I was taking hydrocodone for one year in 1996 97 but I was lucky to stop taking them. But everyone don't have the strong will too fight the addiction.
The system is so crooked that it makes Mexican government look clean😂 El chapo has nothing on these pharmacies😶
As a person that was on those pain pills for almost 20 years I'm so glad they did what they did I wish they did sooner and harder it wouldn't have destroyed my life those companies profits destroyed me and my life thank you gentleman I wished it was sooner and harder but thank you
It’s plum said and heartbreaking how things became in the mist of my absence
Big corporate greed being more concerned about profits than human life and our government accommodating that greed........shocking!
4:07 badass answer from that prosecutor
Any attempt to arrest a senior officer of OCP results in shutdown.
Chris Rock - There's no money in the cure
@MALACHAI SHASHU Brother you ain't lying, he went up against the whole New York Supreme court with testimonials & won. RIP Dr. Sebi. I honestly feel like they killed Prince and Michael for there catalogue. Evil wants to stamp out Love.
Educated people don't overdose, unless it is on purpose. If the healthcare and food was quality, regular people would not be in pain, spend the money fixing the food and dangerous healthcare that damages so many it is the 3rd leading cause of death....work on that, it is more important.
legalize all drugs. Tax them and really help the people. you can't stop the supply and demand by just take away the supply. That's the war on drugs and it's failed.
why is the audio mono on this video? Very annoying with headphones
Terrible audio
Another drug industry scam so you won't hear the facts right
Alex Hurtado lololololol 😂 😆 😝
@@TheRealpennyInfo you are right. Very clear from where I'm standing.
"Drug dealers in lab coats." (4:02) Not exactly a gangland fashion statement, yet lab coats won't save your soul.
one of “those politicians that you carry around in your pocket, like so many nickels and dimes”
Virgil Solozzo was right! Great quote Dom.
you can tell rannazzisi was passionate about this. It's crazy how this was all able to happen.
Those fines could be paid with 45 minutes of profits.
Only difference is the kids selling drugs got arrested and put in jail or prison meanwhile big pharma can't be touched and changing to game
Too many Drs 'insisted' one had to take drugs "if you want to heal, get better"....& in many cases that was 100% false. I know that for fact.
this sounds like science fiction...
People used to talk about the mafia. The Mafia got nothin' on them. The hipocracy of Congress and the political class knows no bounds.
Now legitimate pain patients like me have to jump through hoops to get Drs to help.
just use some heroin. its cheaper and numbs the pain.
Except for the fact that you never truly know what you're getting on the street.
I hear you. Patients who did not get addicted, but who were STILL overprescribed these pills now have a tolerance such that being medicated with the currently acceptable doses of opioids cannot get releif. patients and doctors were both misinformed, and even in the midst of this epidemic, doctors still don't know how to talk to patients about the proper use of these drugs, the danger of not only addicted but now have pain worse than what they started with (opioid induced hyperalgesia)
I went to hospital with a burst appendix...literally on my death bed and accused of faking it for pills...i had to talk a doctor into running a test on me
@@90klh the same with so called harmless Benzodiazepine formulas...also a tragedy
What we really should be asking ourselves is why this is regulated distribution to begin with. Why does the government get to tell me how to handle my physical pain?
Because those who are unable to educate themselves are not able to protect themselves from predatory doctors. Chances are that you can't educate yourself either even if you have access to the relevant papers because the relevant studies require too large a medical knowledge to properly interpret. In addition, even if you could interpret them, it would be a huge time burden on yourself. Their job is to help us not harm us and the enforcement of regulation is forcing the doctors to do their job instead of purely pursuing money.
@@ASCENDANTGAMERSAGE Well explained. These substances are helpful but also dangerous. As such they must be regulated. And still people die.
"The war on drugs
Is a war that's fatal
A war that's filling up
The nations jails"
The DEA should be disbanded.
Thank you for putting the date on it
It was racketeering by the pharmaceutical Mafia.
I'm here after looking at dope sick on Hulu
Trying to Google Linden Baldhead to get more information but nothing is popping up...
2013 that's the year
"safe and effective" huh
Why is nobody talking about the politicians and all the cash they and their parties accepted from the companies. The reason all multinationals have lobbyists is because the greedy politicians except their millions in gifts.
the spokes man looks high :D
if it quacks like a duck then it's a duck
The difference between the sacklers and the corner drug dealers is status….
7:22 cost of doing business. That's not even a drop in the olympic swimming pool
wise lesson: on this world, cheat if you can to preserve yourself. no matter the thousands of lives.
if you can get rich quick off others misery, do it. you get rewarded rather than punished
Paid off to not bring a criminal case.
This video has been on youtube since sept 2018, and it has only a little over hundred thousand views. The people that need to pay attention are busy eating the distraction red meat, and as result nothing changes.
Yep. Marsha Blackburn distracts us by being against violent videos as a cause of crime. While defending drug distributors that is a root cause of crime.
What a crock.
Here after watching the Hulu miniseries Dopesick.
And how did this story affect anything?
WTF
Its not the generic drug manufactures fault its FDA for allowing them, and the Dr's for not acting at the gatekeeper.
Its more personal integrity. People for the DEA sold their soul to work for Pharma.
No sound
Yet further examples of the current state of things. As long as bribery is allowed to exist under the guise of labels such as lobbyism, or such obscene political ideas as "Corporations are people and money is speech", we will continue to have a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations.
We the people allowed this to happen. Those that own this country don't care about us any further than considering us a financial resource to be harvested.
And it's the ones you would never think would do this but profit over everything and everyone
During the 30 minutes this video has played, 2 people have overdosed and died on opioids...
1k people a year over 20 years now how about alcohol let's see the numbers. I can with out a doubt bet it's more than 200k.
This is only re-exposing the flaw that existed in the American experiment in democracy since 1773. Women were treated less than in history. The acceptance of slavery and the deplorable treatment of indigenous people are two other examples. But it goes deeper than that States were inducted in the union only after it was majority caucasian. While at the same time they follow the bill of rights and the constitution that states all women and men are equal. The most glaring problem is evident in our construction that omits who owns and distributes our most important and most powerful commodity -money. Banks, yes our central bank which is privately owned, loans money to the US government each year. Yes your public officials are bought that you vote to put in office. Imagine that! WORST-->> Politicians needs money to run for office and these same private bankers that were not elected loan money to our government AT INTEREST. are you surprised at this 60 min. disclosure. If it wasn't so serious I would laugh. What a joke on us. Yes that means you even if you are privileged or not.
RUclipss been puttin a looot of these random 60 minutes episodes about governments abusing their power lately
What a name “Sam Hornblower” 😂😂😂.
America shouldn't loose any sleep over this -- marijuana will **always** be a Schedule I substance.
Unbelievable too many people getting paid on the down low it’s incredible how they get away with it
Of course the same senator is nominated to be Trump's drug czar
They used to hang horse thieves..'
To get rid of the poor THE AWAKENING 😢
Money and corruption reigns ..... how tragic. We can not depend on government.
Ite completely idiotic to pretend as if the companies that were hired by doctors to sell drugs are the most responsible. Just a slimy way to get around going after the sackler family directly. Pathetic
Check out Dutch banker Ronald Bernhard speaking out
So the gov isnt much better. They got that money ..they should of gave out free medical help to family's to get their kids off it
I know why these people let the bill pass, because theyre all on the same side
Greatest country in the world, baby! /s
It’s hard for me to root for the DEA. They aren’t exactly the good guys.
Outrageous creed …
Greed is the real issue
Liberals set the precedent via case law#equal protection clause
That’s the same thing with the cops they don’t follow the law
this story is so depressing im about to go relapse. anyone know a good dr
Yes, if cant control yourself , you are the victim. No sympathy for addiction here.
So what at least their not buy garbage and god knows what on the street These people talking about this they don't know what it's like to live in poverty L no it is like to wanna have an escape People one in these drugs I don't come from anything good and they want an escape
Is Congressman Marino a Republican?
Ssssssssshocking!
Wow. Calling the capital police on 60 minutes. A news outlet that continually fights for justice and for the defenseless.
So when
& how did the pills change their branding from the disparaging "hillbilly heroin" to a $50 pill street value? Maybe more, I think I heard $80 pill...
There are so few on the street now that they command a high dollar. That's why everyone went to heroin which is now nearly all fentanyl
@@DW-vd9mp yeah the DEA literally is killing people. Prescriptions way down yet overdoses and suicides are up. I wonder how much blood money this idiot in the video is getting too.
This is why we need Bernie. He's totally anti-corruption.
Scott M Bernie is a choker. He’d rather keep his Senate Seniority and his job. So much for stepping into a soap box. At least Ralph Nader went to the bitter end when he was on the ballot, even when knowing he would lose the battle.
@@AntonioCostaRealEstate Not sure what you mean by he'd rather keep his senate position and job.
Anyone notice the policies changed after Obama was elected a second term?
Drug dealers in lab coats!!
