there is an understandable policy on the air, hello, the united states is engulfed in a zombie apocalypse, so the local media baptized the epidemic of drug addiction in the country, it is already being called a national disaster, and the number of fatal overdoses is breaking all records. just imagine, a person dies every 7 minutes from a drug overdose in the united states; over 100,000 people lose their lives every year due to the deadly poison, more than from shootings and car accidents. all together.

the city of philadelphia is called the drug capital of america, the kensington area is not a suburb at all city, only 15-20 minutes to the center, scary scenes, like from a horror movie.

they are called zombies and the walking dead, unconscious, hunched over in a stupor, after the next dose, hordes of drug addicts filled the sidewalks of the streets of the richest country. the orange little things are on the ground, and the white packages are packages of caps from used syringes. many drug addicts use syringes here several times, although volunteers here provide syringes for free. dirt, garbage, syringes, an open -air hangout, complete and ominous chaos. set possible buy for 3 dollars, for just 3 dollars you can buy something heavy, like methamphetamine, or basically anything you like. the harsh truth of american life, the shocking scale of the decay of society. nobody hides the addiction here, they sell and inject drugs openly, but instead of proactive measures, social services rely on safe use, that is. every

day we are provided with this emergency kit: 10 packages, syringes, clean water, a tourniquet, in short, everything you need to take the drug. everyone gets it because that it is profitable, you step aside, sell two needles for a dollar, well, you already have money for a dose, there are even tents set up in the middle of american streets, where men and women calmly take it. drugs, the two most popular illicit substances: fintanil, a cheap analogue of heroin, and xylazine, a drug intended for anesthesia in horses. xylazine is a veterinary tranquilizer, it was first mixed into drugs in 2006 to prolong or enhance their effect, and the result was a potion that eats away flesh just like acid, with 2021, the additive began to be found in 90% of drugs in philadelphia. fintanil is one of

the most popular goods on the streets of american cities, a synthetic drug 50 times stronger than heroin, 100 times stronger than morphine, most of the deaths and overdoses are from it. how many times do you use per day and where do you get money for it, two or three times somewhere. how do you buy with what? have you just taken drugs? yes, the exceptional potency of the drug makes it quite compact. even 2 mg of fintanil can be fatal, in a backpack or hip a bag can easily fit a whole kilogram of this substance, that is, half a million doses; republicans blame the drug epidemic on migrants, with whom, in their opinion, dangerous drugs poured into the country. you can blame anyone, but instead of answering the question of what to do, american politicians are looking for an answer to another question: how to make political capital from this? here is vivi kramaswami, at that time... another

participant in the presidential race is recording an election video on the streets of the narcomaniac geta. how does this place even exist? is it possible. many of these buildings were factories in the old days... nowadays people come to this area as if it were an open-air drug store. we see syringes lying right on the streets where rats are running. the reason for all this is not only poverty, these drugs come to us straight from the southern border and take over entire cities. one of the reasons for the social catastrophe is precisely the inaction of the authorities, which turn a blind eye to the disaster. while politicians are promoting themselves on the misfortune, knock out nonsense, it's unlikely to work. cassandra frederica from. the executive director of the non-profit drug policy alliance believes that the war on drugs is a failed policy, she states that nothing has happened that the white house promised, not stopping drug trafficking, not uniting society against a common problem, not reducing the number of drug addicts,

why the war on drugs failed, the fact is that the priority for american officials was how to use this issue to get their own political... these politicians, of course, some events are carried out, raids are carried out, some drug dealers are periodically arrested, but again these are symptoms, this disease cannot be cured, in order to cure the disease you need to change the economic system, the political system, the social system, then it is quite likely

that drug addiction can be defeated, more than half a century ago richard nixon declared war on drugs, but... the terrible epidemic, of course, did not arise immediately and has been going on for the third decade, but one of the reasons, you will be surprised, concerns doctors and pharmacists. millions of americans became addicted because doctors prescribed opioid painkillers after severe

fractures. frequent use of drugs caused severe dependence. the patients suffered from severe pain until they took the next pill. at the same time, prescription painkillers. the contents in the drugs were touted by pharmaceutical companies as safe and non-addictive. the scandal erupted back in 2018; it turned out that since the nineties in the united states, due to weak government control over the spread of opioid an estimated 500,000 americans died from analgesic overdose. the algorithm that has covered the country with a drug epidemic is as follows: after completing a course of taking drugs containing synthetic... withdrawal, the torment he experiences pushes his drugs, the patient is faced with the syndrome on the black market, where he will be offered fintanyl for very little money. it is for this reason that there is such a significant number of overdoses in american military personnel. psychological

problems are combined with physiological addiction. just imagine the scale: 10 years ago, according to the american centers for disease control and prevention, the united states had enough. people accounted for 80 prescriptions written by doctors for opioid medications, essentially a legal drug. when these drugs were no longer prescribed to patients, those who had already developed an addiction began to look for the coveted pills on the black market and often switched to other apiates, including synthetic ones, the share of one of which, fintanil, began has been growing rapidly since 2010, and so has the number of fatal overdoses. well, it was very specific people who hooked the states on the needle. this is what the perpetrators of thousands of deaths look like. the sackler family, trained doctors who founded the pain empire. muddy schemes, forgeries, research, all this will come later, but first a cynical idea arose: how to create opium for the people? the richest

pharmaceutical family has come up with an inexpensive painkiller, oxycantin, based on a synthetic drug. it is based on apis, which are twice as powerful morphine. but while morphine-based painkillers were recommended for use only for very severe or unbearable pain, the new prescription drug began to be sold as pills that could be taken with peace of mind. without side effects, even with moderate and severe pain, it is this drug, produced by the sackler company furdupharma, that will subsequently turn millions of people into drug addicts. in terms of drug potency, oxycanthine was a nuclear weapon. the sacklers managed to get into all sorts of incredible things. in the ninety-fifth fda, the drug administration even allowed the label to be placed on the packaging “that the long-term effect of the drug reduces its attractiveness to drug addicts compared to other

painkillers. in 2001 , the label was removed; since then , no opioid drug has been labeled in this way. dr. curtis wright, who was responsible for the fda examination that allowed oxycantin to enter the market, soon left the organization and 2 years later went to work for the sacklers. at a company meeting, celebrating the launch of a new one. medicines. zackler said the launch of oxycanthin will be followed by a prescription blizzard that will bury the competition, it will be strong, dense and white. the tax dealers launched one of the largest and most terrible advertising campaigns in the history of pharmaceuticals: thousands of sales representatives. trainings describing the advantages of the new drug. they tried to convince society and doctors that the pills are, in fact, a cure for everything, and they can be taken for various types of pain. of course, no one believed their words. the company began to pay thousands of practitioners doctors to participate in various

seminars and report on the benefits of oxycanthin. the sacklers approached promotion from all angles: wholesalers received discounts, pharmacists received cashback, patients were given coupons for thirty-day courses of the drug, academicians were awarded grants. at the same time , medical journals profited from multimillion-dollar advertising revenues and members of congress were bribed. subsidies were given to everyone. at the same time, active advertising on tv, newspapers, and medical magazines. in commercials there are happy americans and some doctors, they assured that there were no side effects and that addiction occurs in no more than 1% of patients. one of purdue pharma's managers , stephen may, told the new yorker that the company even conducted special training to overcome doctors' objections. their essence was quite simple: employees learned to answer questions correctly. possible abuse of the drug, convince specialists that it practically does not cause

addiction. at the same time, thousands of practicing doctors were simply bribed. for money they participated in various seminars where reported the benefits of oxycanthin. dozens of pompous and supposedly scientific events were held for them in expensive hotels. these methods worked flawlessly; doctors visiting such forums prescribed oxycanthine twice as often. and things went on: the heyday of the sackler empire began in the 200s, the number of us prescriptions grew from 300,000 to almost 6 million. and the legal drug began to bring in up to 1 billion dollars a year. the death factory began to crumble only in october 2006, when the pharmaceutical giant was accused of fraud and money laundering to increase sales of the drug. it is noteworthy that the company pleaded guilty to misleading people and agreed to a fine of $600 million, one of the largest amounts ever paid by pharmacists in such a case, but the drug was still

sold in pharmacies, and sagler , apparently anticipating future problems, withdrew about $11 billion from purdue pharma and invested it in family trusts. in 2015, a family of pharmacists entered the list of the richest families in the united states according to forbes, their fortune was estimated at $13 billion, whatever would have fizzled out if not for ryne hampton. with extensive experience after rehabilitation, he began his own investigation and wrote a book about the opioid crisis, where he publicly accused the sacklers of a national disaster. in 2017, everyone started talking about the dangers of oxycanthin ; thousands of lawsuits were filed against the pharmaceutical industry, including from the authorities of all 50 states. but even here, the freest court in the world will decide in its own way: the company will file for bankruptcy, but the sacklers will receive civil immunity. responsibility for their role in drug crisis. in exchange, the family paid off with billions of dollars in fines. around

the same time, the number of deaths from overdoses from synthetic fintanyl will triple. in 2021, a judge approved settlements that would require the sacklers to pay $4.5 billion in exchange for protection from the lawsuits . the sacklers later agreed to increase the compensation to $6 billion, and then everyone left. sunsets began to live happily ever after, but only members of the sackler family. everyone else is trying to overcome addiction, but there seems to be no end in sight to this problem. but it is no longer possible to stop the flywheel: the sackler empire and state inaction have given birth to a whole generation of drug-addicted americans who are increasingly looking for that same fintanil, nicknamed the zombie drug, on the black market. in 2021 , the number of deaths from drug overdoses in the united states exceeded 100,000 for the first time, with

synthetic opioids, including fintanil, accounting for the lion's share - 75%. poisoning with this substance has become. most common cause of death among americans aged 18 to 45 years. doctors shout karaun for the first time since world war ii in the united states , life expectancy began to fall, and the proportion of deaths among young americans aged 15-24 became twice as high as that of their peers from germany, france and japan. what was the result of such a campaign: mass drug addiction. suddenly it turned out that it wasn't just those who were actually sweating on the tablet. need potent painless drugs, but also those who were bored of living in a world without additional stimulation of dopamine receptors, in such a in the environment, a black market for pharmaceuticals very quickly appeared, people used huge doses of pain relief, when it stopped helping, they switched to heroin. to eradicate the problem, there are not enough empty promises, and there seems to be a serious

lack of focus with the priorities of the white house. last year, biden requested one and a half billion from congress to fight the apiates. he demanded almost 50 times more dollars to support ukraine, the american colonialists, that is, the white colonialists, treated the indians very cruelly, but we know that a huge number diseases were brought from europe and hooked on alcohol and drugs, well, unfortunately, there is little left of the truly rooted population of america, that is, the guys there are living out their lives.

25 years of peace in serbia, a date not to celebrate, but to remember

nato bombing for humanitarian purposes and the friendly hand of belarus. we are talking about this with the minister of health of serbia. professor danica grujic graduated from school in moscow, where she began studying medicine. then there was the faculty of medicine in belgrade. today she heads the initiative committee, which deals with the consequences of nato aggression in 1999. then, during 2 and a half months of bombing , 15 tons of combined uranium were dropped on these lands in shells. but this topic, what happened to the united uranium, chemical warfare, which...
