Guns, Drugs and Big Pharma – A Common Thread

Guns, Drugs, and Big Pharma - Common Threads

Every time I’m around police of any sort and have a chance to ask a certain question, I do.

I’ve asked this question of SWAT teams in Toronto, Canada and Sheriffs in small towns in the US of A. And the answer is pretty consistent. Almost word for word, really.

The Question

First time this came up was at a small trade show I was working in a town in Southern Oregon. The fellow in the booth next to me was a Sheriff. Doing some publicity. He came in one morning and told me that there had been a ‘gun’ incident the night before that he had to attend.

I asked him, "How many gun incidents are drug or alcohol related?” He looked at me kinda funny, like I was a few bricks shy of a load or something. He replied, “All of them!” He expounded but that was basically it.

A more recent conversation with a SWAT cop when I was working at the Royal Winter Fair last November in Toronto. There had been an incident - some sort of demonstration earlier in the day at the Fair and they were walking around keeping at eye on things. They were chatty so I asked the one guy the same question- his reply was almost exactly the same. He gave me the same ‘Are you an idiot?’ look and said, “All of them?”

(As an aside: He went on to tell me that of the several gun incidents that they get each week, and all of the guns that they confiscate, not one has been previously owned by a legal gun owner.)

It is quite well known now, pretty much general knowledge, that some key side effects of anti-depressants are things like, depression, suicidal ideation, and violent outbursts.

Robert F Kennedy Jr. is running for President of the United States - and I’m kinda hoping he wins. Not too fond of other options.

Kennedy, in one of his talks pointed out that a proper investigation into the causes of school shootings and such, has never been done. This is pretty scary. The pharmaceutical industry makes mucho dineros from their drugs. If a study like this was done and discovered that a major contributor to these violent shootings in schools and otherwise was their drugs, the shit would hit the fan.

Billions of Big Pharma’s dollars would just evaporate.

(Note: A very large percentage of of gun homicides are committed by inner city gangs and the like.
“Gun involvement— in gang related homicides increased from 73% in 1980 to 92% in 2008 (figure 41)” https://bjs.ojp.gov/)

There is no monitoring system for the Pharmaceutical Industry. Many think that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) actually regulate and monitor the drugs manufactured. This is a fallacy. They never do any of their own testing on the drugs produced by the drug companies. They read the summaries of the testing. At best someone will review some of the research details.

A good book covering this aspect of the FDA is ‘Bitter Pills’ by Stephen Fried.

So, what is the common thread here? Of all this gun violence? Does anyone really know. Lots of anecdotal information. Lots of fingers pointing. Lots of people really certain as to what the answer is. But most of that ‘certainty’ is based on emotion.

Not any actual research. In fact as I pointed out earlier here, the Pharmaceutical companies are likely terrified of a proper investigation into causes of gun violence in relation to their drugs.

There is no doubt at this point that gun crime, school shootings and such things are inevitably connected to drugs.

Get rid of the guns and you will still have children on drugs for depression that cause worse depression and more severe symptoms such as suicidal ideation.

One of the issues with the R&D on drugs produced by pharmaceutical companies is that they really don’t know how these drugs work. They don’t have to show this for FDA approval.

Here is an excerpt from ‘Bitter Pills’:

“He said the the FDA and the drug companies don’t know how most of the drugs we take actually work. For FDA approval, the companies simply need to prove that their products do work somewhat better than a placebo, a sugar pill It is helpful to be able to offer an informed guess as to whey they work, but it isn’t required. For example the Floxin package insert said the drug was ‘thought to exert a bacterial effect on susceptible micro-organisms by inhibiting DNA gyrase**’.

“Bitter Pills” by Stephen Fried Page 29

(**gyrase: a bacterial enzyme)

There is no doubt at this point that gun crime, school shootings and such things are inevitably connected to drugs.

Big Pharma has a lot to answer for.

The Lost Art of Looking – Observation

Observation - Looking - A Lost Art

The majority of people just don’t look.

This is a bit of a rant.

I know way too many people that will only ‘see’ things through the filter of the media. Whatever science the media claims to be so, then that is so, no matter what they see in from of them.

I’ve noticed this quite dramatically over the last three years. A friend’s daughter who I chat with from time to time is fourteen years old. She is in a public high school and gets ostracized from groups because she actually observes things. She says to me “People just don’t look!” She does find it a bit tough but she refuses to compromise with what she sees in front of her.

Like a doctor friend of mine that for most of his career was constantly being investigated by the Ontario College of Physicians. He would not randomly give out drugs. He had stacks of books in his office on healthy ways to solve medical problems. Big Pharma, I’m sure hated him for this. And believe it or not they control, at least partially, the ‘Health’ government entities. Like the CDC and FDA in the United States and Health Canada.

I’m pretty sure that there was no one at some pharmaceutical company sitting there specifically saying “We gotta get this doctor!” But the people in Health Canada and the FDA and the like that get supported or get bonuses from Big Pharma are supported and get bonuses because they target people like my doctor friend.

This was taken to the extreme over the last few years. If any doctor had a cure or suggested alternatives or even questioned the position put forward by politicians and Big Pharma, they were immediately censured. And censored. And these attacks, cowed others so that they would fall in line.

When a politician cites ‘everybody knows’ and I know dozens of people that disagree with what that politician is stating, then we have a problem. The problem is that way too many people listen to what that politician is saying instead of observing for themselves what is going on around them.

If one has a different opinion or even better, that person does some research or looks around to see if something is true or not, if they, in any way question what the leading politicians or media says, they are slammed, one and all, as being ‘anti-science’.

One size does not fit all.

One cannot generalize.

There are knowledgable doctors and learned scientists that disagree with much of what is put forth currently by politicians, the media and Big Pharma.

Climate Change

Vaccines - Viruses

War - Russia - Ukraine - USA

Don’t question any of these things.

Common knowledge in a troubled marriage: “there are two sides to every story.”

But, again, people don’t want to look.

I think, sometimes, that this has a lot to do with our education system. Dumbing us down. Growing up I was astounded as to how well read my father and his generation were. And now I’m astounded as to how well read my generation are compared to the current generation. It is so easy to con people that don’t know history.

There is a great book on this called Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor Gatto. A fairly short read. And brilliant.

There is a quote attributed to Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha), I’m pretty sure this is not exactly what he said:

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it,
unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

But to do this, you have to look. Sometimes, as silly as it seems, one has to practice looking. Something as simple as going for a walk, talking to someone new. Get away from newsfeeds and the like. It’s refreshing. One finds out how wonderful people are.

The Art of Looking.

If you would like to do some proper research in spite of what your 'friends' might say, here is some good reference material. List of books/authors

Big Pharma and Nashville Shooting

How To Taper Off Pharmaceutical Drugs

or How to Get Back to Normal

or Why On Earth Should One Not Do Pharmaceutical Drugs

or What Is Killing North America

or School Shootings and Big Pharma

or What Is The Most Dangerous Age Group For Anti Depressants?

A good friend recently conveyed his story coming off anti depressants. The telling was considerably shorter than the coming off. Well, sort of. After being on an anti depressant for a few years and feeling that it was making him worse than before, he went cold turkey.

This is very difficult for anyone. It is also extremely dangerous. Not recommended. These anti-depressants are horribly addictive. The professionals that monitor tapering off advise doing so in very small increments over weeks and months, sometimes years.

Most times the reactions of coming off can be far worse than the effects of the drugs themselves. And most times much worse than not doing them in the first place.

Some of the withdrawal symptoms can include headaches, burning, electric-like or shock-like sensations, insomnia, drowsiness, not feeling like oneself (a disconnected feeling), dissociation, impotence, tingling, fatigue, nausea, headache, light-headedness, chills, body aches, vomiting, cramps, diarrhea, dizziness, vertigo, nightmares, vivid dreams, light-headiness to name just a few. Withdrawal symptoms can last from weeks to months.

“…can be notoriously difficult to quit because stopping can produce withdrawal-like symptoms referred to as "discontinuation syndrome.”

Very Well Mind

One of the more prominent doctors that encourage tapering off pharmaceuticals but also give an exact science as to doing so, is Dr Peter Breggin. Dr Breggin wrote a book dedicated to the subject. It’s called Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal. Read his article here: Dr Breggin Book.

Another doctor that has been a great help to a great many tapering off anti depressants and anti anxiety pills is Dr Kelly Brogan. Dr Brogan stresses the need for coming off these drugs properly. Her website is filled with natural, holistic ways of being healthy, sane and stable without the need for mind altering drugs. Spend some time there.

If you read through the websites of Dr Breggin and Dr Brogan, you will see some of the dangers of anti-depressants and anti anxiety pills. Some of the more dangerous side effects of anti-depressants are ‘depression’, ‘suicide ideation’, ‘panic disorder’ and violent behaviour.

“…for 15 to 24 year-olds, the findings were more grim: There was a very substantial increase – 43 percent – in their risk of committing violent crimes while on antidepressants.” - The Heart and Mind Institute

So, in light of the recent shooting in Nashville, Tennessee by 28-year-old Audrey Hale - she was a being treated for a ‘mental disorder’. This has been the case with far the majority of school shootings. Given the side effects of the drugs likely given plus other treatments it is far from surprising that she acted out this violent ideation.

An excerpt from risk.org explains it a little more thoroughly.

“Dissociative experiences

Dissociative experiences refer to unusual changes in perception and feelings, often involving a sense of detachment.

Antidepressants can cause a number of dissociative experiences including:

▪ Amnesia

▪ Déjà vu

▪ Depersonalization

▪ Derealization

▪ Hallucinations

▪ Prominent nightmares or lucid dreaming

Depersonalisation is an experience of feeling strange and unusual, almost as though you are not really yourself anymore, or that you are in a kind of a dream or haze.

Derealisation refers to a similar set of feelings and perceptions, but in this case it is the world itself that seems strange or unreal; everything may seem far away or staged in some way – as though life is being watched rather than lived.

Depersonalisation and derealisation are relatively common on antidepressants.”

Remember that the above are side effects of the drugs, not the reason for doing them. Feelings and actions created by taking the drugs. So, the most dangerous age group for anti depressants and anti anxiety are the young.

James Bond and Big Pharma

Who is The Real Villain?

Anthony Fauci? Goldfinger? Bill Gates?

James Bond villains pale in comparison to the unfettered evil displayed by the malevolent bipeds controlling the pharmaceutical industry. If you are looking for the devil on Earth, look no further. Poor excuses for human beings, these individuals have been directly responsible for the deaths of millions. They deserve a spot next to the likes of Hitler, Pol Pot, and Stalin. There is no kindness here.

I’m about 150 pages into Robert F Kennedy’s book, ‘The Real Anthony Fauci’. It is ostensibly about Fauci. But really, while naming names and connections, fully annotated, the pages of the book display how rulers in the military/industrial complex and the pharmaceutical companies in the United States and other countries waste hundreds of thousands and even millions of lives [read more]for money and power. For them, there is never enough.

Cures for Covid in abundance.

Kennedy outlines how certain individuals within and controlling Big Pharma around the world suppress proven, safe solutions to coronaviruses that would have cut the death rate in countries like the United States by 80% or more and without the devastating effects of lockdowns. Kennedy documents how this suppression of data and the creation of propaganda about the “harms” of entirely safe drugs started even before the rest of world became aware of Covid 19. Joseph Goebbels would be so proud.

The book documents the timelines of propaganda attacks on safe effective drugs like Ivermectin and Hydoxychloroquine."

All these deaths to justify the need for more money and power by a few individuals that know that they are above the law.

At the moment of this writing, most places are sold out of the hard cover book. One can easily purchase and download the digital version. A couple of benefits of the digital version is that one can click on the annotations and go directly to the source of the information. Apparently, they will also update the book through a QR code as well as more information becomes available.
