all the world's a stage we are definitely apply. to . the top diplomats of russia and the u.s. meet in new york to discuss global conflicts and ongoing disputes between the two countries. dorothy's and paris stop building a bullet proof glass glue all around the on the tower but some say the measure only serves to increase public fear one hundred percent the government doesn't like fearing people is just a way to keep pressure on people feel like it would be a little paranoid to the. spanish security forces raided warehouses in catalonia seizing materials for an independence referendum. that's it for me for now in

a day richard will be live from the studio in around an hour's time with all the latest news stay with us. welcome to the kaiser report oh yeah i'm like part of the baby boom generation do you remember on television. advertisement for famous credit card company with karl malden and he'd say you are about to witness a crime you know and then they do this all the pocket thing on full. well today you are about to witness a crime once again oh yeah stacey yes you know this is quite important because in the second half you interview jim rickards and it's an amazing interview and he you guys talk about china and china basically destroying the petro dollar so at this

sort of moment in time i think it's quite important that the u.s. starts to take care of itself and figure out how to stop destroying itself how to stop committing economic monetary and financial suicide and yet the rampage that private equity the entire economy from the corporate sector to the private sector to the public sector is all hollowing out everything and it goes down to as you talked about being a little child a little child now what destroying all the hopes and dreams and fun of little richard just in the in the second half rickard question alone people he tells a story about the cia gift shop the less about eight minutes you can get through that entire no i find it very interesting because he got me an amazing gift from there are not allowed to tell you what it is whole story i was in some place in langley by kids who was there a lot of people were there what we did what we talked about but trust me it was interesting it has a helicopter and like well that's the worst story i've ever heard i liked it

because he got me if there are to say what it is play here you know this is like ok the story is this has no promise no details and no punchline oh that must be the cia wow that's hilarious so here speaking of gift shop brick and mortar milltown toys r us hires bankruptcy law firm as the headline says toys r us is about to seek bankruptcy now as in so many cases the brick and mortar retail meltdown there is a private equity angle to it firms kohlberg kravis roberts k k r ver nado realty trust and bain capital partners acquired the publicly traded shares a toys r us and a leveraged buyout during the. l.b.o. in two thousand and five in a deal valued at six point six billion dollars they funded the acquisition in large part by loading up the company with debt hence leveraged buyout and then i'll go over the details in a second but they stripped the cash from the company they loaded it up with so much

debt they've done a runner they've bought lots of real estate probably all the stuff behind us in new york city and they're happy but the little children of america have no choice to buy. right the levers buyout of course really came of age or the one nine hundred eighty s. with michael milken a truck silver alum there and the spreadsheet was available on everyone's desktop the new computer revolution and you could go down to mike milken's desk and you'd say i want to take over let's say r.c.a. was bought by general electric or with general electric buck r.c.a. and or you know michael milken he had. all the corporators ron perlman you know carl icahn and they they borrow money against the assets of the company that they're going to acquire that's the collateral for a loan they say this company is worth ten billion i want to give me ten billion

going to buy the company and i'm going to take that ten billion and i will start selling stuff off to pay back the loan right that's a leveraged buyout so they've been active ever since the what what the deal is that basically the private equity firm in the case of toys r us they acquired the company with a loan and then they pay themselves a multi-billion dollar dividend. essentially extract. cash and the bird in the come i'm going to go over the debt i'm going to go over the details but i just realized well you're saying that. they also did this to the federal reserve bank basically there's been a leveraged buyout of america via the federal reserve they've loaded it up with debt they stripped the assets and if you want to why the economy still sucks is because you're in a shell called the former country called america which has been run itself remember

philip green arcadia not shop in the u.k. you know his wife they did it through his wife's account in monaco yeah a billion pound of debt extraction he paid himself a lot of government debt now they're in retailing trouble to pension accounts of gone bankrupt because he. reed steel that cash and so here is what the three p. e. firms did to toys r us they stripped out cash and loaded the company up with debt and these are the results at the end of its fiscal year two thousand and four the last full year before the buyout toys r us had two point two billion dollars in cash cash equivalents and short term investments by q one twenty seventeen this had collapsed just three hundred one million dollars over the same period long term debt has surged one hundred twenty six percent from two point three billion to five point two billion so somebody has to do a stop to this eventually like in the second half you talk which in rigorous about china and china has done this basically they were being stripped asset strips by

all these oligarchs taking all this billions and billions trillions of dollars again a lot of it sunk into new york real estate but they've said boston they keep on shutting it down every angle they they try to get more money out. even through big court exchanges they're shutting those exchanges down the conversion of yuan into the big coin because they don't want to be siphoned out of the country like the human body the organs on the race so market are worth probably two thousand dollars so if i go to the bank and i say lend me two thousand dollars and i'm going to go murder somebody in the street and sell their organs to pay back your loan the bank would say ok great here's two thousand dollars go murder people ok when you remove the organs and sell them that person dies and when you do these leveraged buyouts for the private equity firms you blow out the jobs you ruin the competitiveness of the economy you stick a dagger into the heart of the u.s. economy and you're laughing while you're doing it and you're being funded by money

and zero percent interest right from the federal reserve unlimited quantities of money they say there's no inflation of course don't fly because they want to keep interest rates near zero to give private equity firms like k k r that was around. during the one nine hundred eighty s. every kravis is a financial terrorist said many times i care i know i know you say that all the time but here i mean they can they pick if they are in court a family actually they are repeat offenders so let's say bain capital who is involved in this destruction of toys r us also help mitt romney yes and he also destroyed bain capital also was behind the destruction of timber which was one thousand two hundred eighty one stores which filed for bankruptcy in june although it's now are on opiates yet or in the heart shooting up smack because of mitt romney's bain and company creating the thousands of dead drug addicts certainly there will be no shops. to which chinese manufacturers can ship all these toys for

america's children this christmas but also these guys these three p. e. firms that own this turkey called toys r us did try to dump it on to the stupid chump of american investors the i.p.o. through the i.p.o. market also extracting enough cash from toys r us and loading up with debilitating pile of debt the three p. e. firms try to unload it to the unsuspecting public in an i.p.o. in two thousand and ten they were hoping for an additional payday the icing on the cake so to speak but they had to scuttle their efforts due to challenging market conditions and yet by the way they're they're going bankrupt bain capital's other gymboree another child toy store sort of retail outlet has gone bankrupt despite the fact that industry sales have been robust growing at five percent in two thousand and sixteen and a compound annual rate of five percent since two thousand and thirteen so they've managed to go bust on their this is these are the captains of industry these are

the people that hang out with hillary and trump and elect our presidents and this is the model that they have for us and i think at this sort of point when the petro dollar is ending as you'll find out in a few minutes you know i think we need to start actually building wealth not having stolen from us over and over and over and over and over and over again well the interest rates are going negative which is another way to steal wealth and these guys when they get power and they get money they go to washington and they change the laws like all the crimes are being committed today on wall street or talked about like lloyd blankfein of goldman sachs will say we're not committing any crimes even though he's doing the same crimes that sent them to these bankers to jail in the one nine hundred eighty s. during the savings along crisis they got government to change the laws so that those crimes are not illegal anymore so he's right he's not breaking the law anymore because he changed the law to make what was illegal or legal but the fact. is that he's undermining the economy along with all the other private equity firms

and washington bureaucrats in the federal reserve bank in the treasury department and their minions in the global banking system to extract wealth and the social cohesion risk as the economist magazine would put it is rising when people are on the streets rioting shooting at each other stabbing each other and that's the global insurrection against banker occupation right there buddy i don't support i don't think that's going to happen because why last headlines are more violence there was in the sixty's a lot more you used to live here in new york city like panthers you were the only real left wing group in america because you live here in new york city what was the murder rate in the one nine hundred eighty three thousand the year over three thousand is three hundred now so it's not there it's not there because this final headline where have all the workers gone opioids the u.s. labor force participation princeton university economist alan krueger presented his latest paper where have all the workers gone an inquiry into the decline of the u.s.

labor force participation rate brookings institute in washington last week this is the result of these recent invest private equity extraction vulture funds destroying the u.s. economy labor force participation rate as you see through the sixty's and seventy's boom times for participation people were participating in the market that's a lot of women also going into the market and now it's turned over that with the time to look correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation but there's a direct link he says alan krueger study shows between opioid addiction and unemployment and absence of participation in the market so he doesn't know which comes first but they definitely are linked and suggest as a solution that perhaps there should be more jobs and therefore opioid addiction will probably go down because they are linked together however if we have private equity extracting interest. weighing all these companies how are we going to ever

have jobs if they just destroy everything so this is a new phillips curve so instead of trying to fill up her time employment to inflation you're tying opiate addiction to two to employment just to stay speaker while we just create a new curve it's called the stacy curve are you just could be repeating that i do say yes curves stacey stacey has curves the stacy has yet earth what is this the stacy curve so krueger's have i'm finding is that an increase in opioid prescriptions from one thousand nine hundred to two thousand and fifteen possibly accounts for about twenty percent of the observed decline and men's labor force participation so that's a huge impact yeah well. bobbie still in the black panthers i mean that's civil rights increase jobs for women and blacks and then they put them in jail and they and they cut out women's rights and reproductive rights and it's all messed up well we got to go to a break but we're back don't go away. prescribe

medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i decided like everything was ash and my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit suicide want one who has money you don't do to prison sue commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and want the real side effects while he. was completely altered what i did was. to leave. just because something's

legal doesn't beat it's saying. the nobody got a lot of muscle in the. islamic states claims it was behind the monster terror attack by the militant front so kill the priest every time a terrorist attack happens all these people are out there screaming i says so bad someone needs to do something against them and for me was like yeah why don't remove something and. give. it all those numbers. to. the case of. the challenge that the. chinese coffee. group is going to get crammed this group through the holy sea and listen.

welcome back to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser time now to turn to economist author lawyer spoke jam records author of currency wars the road to ruin the new case for gold welcome back jim thanks max great to be with you this is true are you a spoke well depends on your definition but. you know work for a long time for the u.s. intelligence community the cia director national intelligence got one of my. outs on today this is probably the viewer can't read it it says united states director of the director of national intelligence you know i want. i once recruited a friend i'm not going to mention the name but a very very prominent. hedge fund operator new york stock exchange specialist one

of the saddest guys ever to set foot on wall street to come with me to langley headquarters to do where's a red team exercise we were working on involving a terrorist finance and really good guy he asked me if he could lend us helicopter then i said no i said even the president the united states does not get to flies or encounter langley you have to go by car so we can go to a nearby airport and we got a man who was sitting in. a conference room and because most of the rooms have no windows for security reasons they're there but they call them vaults and i said i turned and i said you know we take a break i'll take you down the gift shop you can get some souvenirs i guess there's no gift shop here this is cia headquarters is langley is no gift shop i said you know this a gift shop as i can i mean i can't mention the number of employees there i said this like you know in some ways it's like any other office you've got not everybody's the director essential tells us you got

a starbucks in there you know there's people like to buy at ceasars you know this because there's no good he kept saying there was no guitar so there was well of course it was a gift shop we would then and this particular individual hits seven children and he left with seven shopping bags you know a t. shirts hats so a lot of memorabilia so i got a bunch of stuff like that but but you can't buy the anywhere else and very very rarely sold online so it is kind of cool souvenir yeah ok great anecdotal story you know i read this headline and i merely thought of how to get on. the forecasts your forecast is coming through ok so here's the headline china has apparently created a yuan priced oil contract immediately convertible into golf so what's the product well. when is it launched tell us about this defense of this if anyone's read your books including currency wars on the road to ruin x.

that or are they they now this is right in your wheel house this is jim rickards land tell us about it personal max thank you for mention those books and parents who were touched on this and the road to ruin my most recent book touched on it but the one title he left out which actually goes right to this issue is called the death of money that was my two thousand and fourteen book but they're all they all cover the judge different facets of the international monetary system and. what we're i get into a lot of controversy i describe this i describe the steps i describe how it's unfolding and people you know seem to have very short attention spans and they seem to think these things happen overnight and you know see a say something in a day goes by and it doesn't happen so you know you're an idiot because it doesn't happen said no listen to me this is going to unfold in stages it's coming get ready now what are you waiting for i actually got a tweet the other day you know very nice person said hey jim can you tell me how i can store my gold in a safe deposit box so i can convert to cash in three hours. i don't give

individual investment as i deserve these things but i don't ask them directly but just from a general term i wouldn't put my gold in said deposit box because you know the time you want your gold the most is when the banks are going to be close so there's a conditional correlation there or put your goal in a place not to be able to get it when you want it but leaving that aside the mentality is you know hey jim call me the day before and i'll get ready and i keep saying no i'm not going to know the day before this is going to cascade out of control you need to get ready now but specifically to your point max what's happening is this announcement was a big deal announcement i agree with you explain it for the viewers but it's really a matter of china cobbling together two or three different things so some years ago they launched the shanghai gold exchange and this is a wholesale physical cash for gold exchange you can sell them gold you can buy gold it's it's you know very by our standards actually fairly fairly fairly liberal i've

been to china recently i met with the largest coal dealers in china i c b c some of the other banks over there you know to talk about this then they launched a gold futures contract. we will know to go futures contract is it's paper gold but you can buy or sell forward and then of course china is the biggest importer of oil in the world and they buy a lot of their oil from regime saudi. and from russia russia is the largest exporter of oil in the world and of course their currency is the warrant so so you have all these different pieces of gold futures physical gold you won russian export and so it's all they did in this announcer they combined all this is said ok here's the deal you sell us oil. and instead of paying you dollars and that goes back to the petro dollar deal of one nine hundred seventy four and we'll we'll talk about that mental images finish this explanation but you sell us oil will pay you one but hey russia iran iran's another big oil exporter you guys say what are you

going to with the you want so we'll tell you what you can compare your you won spot to gold on the shanghai gold exchange so it says if you sold us the oil from gold and obey the way if you don't like the exchange risk you can go to the go futures market and hedge that risk so now by combining all these different elements in effect we've got a you won benchmark price for oil that's a big deal that's the end of the petrodollar deal i was actually my first official visit to the white house was in one nine hundred seventy four and i met with helen sonnenfeld who is henry kissinger's deputy and at that time what we did we were discussing what to do about the original oil crisis which goes back to ninety seven if you remember nixon took the dollar off the gold standard one nine hundred seventy one and that's that's very well known but the gold standard didn't and overnight it was kind of two or three years of stumbling and bumbling are we going to have gold be going to devalue the dollar go back to gold the new level you know france want to gold the u.s. says was a whole fuzzy period between one thousand seven hundred seventy three but the one

nine hundred seventy three the arabs were fed up because inflation it kicked in they said hey we're not going to take we're not going to sell you or oil for dollars anymore because we're not confident the value of the dollar and the iris are buying gold and we kissinger secretary of the treasury at the time when simon is chief deputy gerald parsky kissinger's deputy home and son of others and again sonnenfeld is the guy i met with in the white house where what would we do about this one of the plans when i was discussing with kissinger's deputy was invading saudi arabia sousing security perimeter taking over the oil fields and basically not stealing the money but just selling at a price we like for dollars and then holding. money in trust for the for the saudis you can get your money and social security for the whole country. i think the smart that that was not the plan of the us pursued the plan they did pursue is a petrodollar do you know where we said to the arabs say look you guys sell us it

will for dollars and we'll take the dollars and put it in the bank and in effect guarantee a stable dollar and then we'll take the dollars and lend it to people who can buy more oil from you so i went around the circle that was the original petro dollar deal with some ups and downs with a spike in gold one nine hundred eighty and some inflation in the united states from seventy seven in one nine hundred eighty eighty one the set of there were problems all the way but that petro dollar deal howell's until last week and now we have the you won. the petro you want deal if you want to call it that oil is going to be priced in chinese yuan but the yuan is not particularly desirable currency in china saying no problem with back it up with go well that's reflection of the fact that china spent the last ten years quadruple in the gold reserves you couldn't do that you couldn't stand up to the market and say bring in your you want we'll give you gold unless you have some gold and china's reserves have gone from about six hundred tons in two thousand and six to officially one thousand eight hundred

tonnes but that's a bogus figure there's every reason to believe that china has closer to five thousand tonnes perhaps more that's a little bit of detective work i do some of it others have worked on this problem but we know chinese mining output of four and fifty tonnes a year we know chinese imports to honk honk we know swiss exports to china we have enough data and we know they operate through military channels by the way my contacts in the gold dealing community china confirm that for me when i was there in shanghai not long ago i said commutes the army to move the gold around and he said we're not allowed to carry guns i said yeah you're right there's you know in the states if you if you try to rob a brinks for armored car that they have guns but in china no one is allowed to have guns except the military so that's why the military is involved and we put it all together china probably has more than five thousand tons maybe a lot more and so they're not standing up to the market there are some in the role that the united states abandoned in one nine hundred seventy one the problem is we

still don't have a fixed price china is still not there saying if you give us you won you can get gold yes they're saying that but it's not at a fixed rate the price of the you want still floats the price of gold still floats nominate dollars your as you want or any other currency so a simple sketchy and there solution is wells sell the sell the go forward on the shanghai futures exchange if you want to lock in let's say a dollar price or a euro price or any other price so it's still not. a completely rock solid gold standard but is getting really close we're getting closer and closer to the point where the dollar is like the mexican peso it will be it will be a local currency if you come into new york you'll need some dollars for you know taxi money but it won't be the the leading benchmark global reserve currency and there i would look for not the yuan so much but the i.m.f.'s you are the special drawing right so jim you know when countries try to sell oil on something other than the us dollar the cia or body stent assassinate him yet saddam hussein taken

out by the cia had moammar gadhafi taken out by the cia because they try to sell oil energy and something other than the u.s. dollar so are they going to incur the wrath of the cia and by the way i just checked online to the cia gift shop and they do have copies of john perkins confessions of an economic set man for sale which i thought was kind of ironic but jim. is this going to abide in langley i thought that they were this is the cardinal sin of global finance never sell oil anything but dollars jim. well i have no comment on any of that max and you know the session nation is illegal under u.s. law and i have no comment on what any particular agency is going to do but i would i would observe the following by the way i was a little annoyed that the cia get shot didn't have my book i was in the process of talking to them about that but they do a very nice bookstore there i was able to pick up a copy of george tenet's biography and actually had it autographed by

a former cia director at tennis that's another. book i keep in my library my my autograph books collection so look let's see how it plays out you know politically i would say the cases you mentioned are interesting in the following sense i look at the not so much as it relates to golden dollars as it relates to the north korean nuclear program because people say you know what's wrong with kim jong un is he crazy he's developing. nuclear weapons he's developing in a continental ballistic missiles he's mastered the the uranium and plutonium enrichment process he's messed a lot of technology is getting close to the point where he can miniaturize the the bomb put it on a warhead on a missile and take out not just seattle or los angeles but you congo or new york. let's follow up on that in another segment if you can hang on there we'll do

another segment and get into the north korea thanks for being on the kaiser report you're welcome all right well that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max keiser and stacy i would like to thank our guest jam records famous author and all around nice guy if you want to reach us on twitter it's kaiser report until next time by all. leg. length leg. leg. length.

the a. leg. length. leg. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around currency corporations run washington washington post media the media over voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before.

she was just really.

really . a strange story out of florida this morning where the mother of three children drove into the ocean off her daytona beach. the pregnant mom spoke of demons before driving into the atlantic. police say they've never seen anything like this. the tiny city of newburgh new york is trying to come to grips with the deaths of three young children who died when their mother drove them

into the hudson river among the victims are two year old lance peer and his a loving month old sister. we should take nothing for granted not our loves nor our lives our families or friends even a sanity one minute all is well the next we're plunged into darkness unable to process what is real and what is mercury's. fortum stringin realized this old too young was the summer after i turned eight she should not be in line and she knows it was the moment. that shattered trust. you know how do you know how to trust anybody after that. forced to confront a mystery beyond comprehension she spent decades haunted in search of answers in pursuit of peace when something like killing all six of her children. made sense

enough to put the kids in the bronco and drive into the river i see it. gravels it again water flying and kids screaming and somehow she managed to dig it up to back out of that. and that's an incredible victory for somebody in that state of mind you know there are other mothers. autumn's mom did eventually die by suicide alone on a country tony steph and was now we're done with. children. i'm laying in bed at night in my room. listening to a houseful of morning. just shattered the whole family just shattered the children shattered me it has become so commonplace these irrational acts and horrific deeds that we've almost become numb to it we've seen them in schools and public spaces in homes and churches. all over the news try as we might to understand them we can't

try as we might to ignore them they call to us still we called the paramedics. they tried the roughly the reviver. outside their mouth to mouth resuscitation but . it was cold it's two thousand and four and the downings world has just been shattered his daughter a victim of an unimaginable act of violence but it was how this eleven year old girl died that truly horrified the world how cats candace hanged herself when candace first started and we just we asked ourselves how could we not know she was then unhappy the downings didn't realize it at the time of course but her case was not a rare event no candace was far from alone she started on this drug somewhere around january and these things make you

unafraid they make you do things you wouldn't do normally they make you able to put a rope around your neck and hang yourself. they were still dizzy from death traumatized and broken when they solve the mystery the drugs responsible they say a cold s s r i's and they're among the best selling drugs in the world s s r i's better known as antidepressants these are some symptoms of the primary psychiatric drugs like assess our eyes have been defended with religious zeal by their believes and downed by others as some of the most dangerous drugs on the planet distinguishing truth from fiction has been a challenge and this is placed the public in the an enviable position of deconstructing the scientific and medical dog on their own in the midst of a thirty s. social experiment as director of the national institutes of mental health thomas insel has been at the center of

a storm of contradictions about the use of these drugs so i think we have to be very humble about this right now because we've often been so self-congratulatory because we have after all many people feel made great strides. the numbers don't really support that dr insoles candor is sure to shock and upset many on all sides of the debate the word failure is one few have dad to utter fundamentally why we failed here why has the suicide rate not come down why have as they measures disability whatever those might be why have those continued to go up instead of down all the numbers are going in the wrong direction so we're already failed what's gone wrong here a lot of people say it's because of stigma and access the fact is that actually more people are getting more treatment than ever before so it's hard for me to poit believe that i would just submit that from the end i am age perspective. the answer

about why we failed is a little more disruptive and that answer is that we don't know enough to hear the director of the end i am h. say now that all of the axle taishan about psychotropics. from the media from academia from the profession from governments were not merited is unsettling off to billions of prescriptions and hundreds of billions of dollars in drug company profits how did this occur i think that our field has gone off track here by devoting so much of its resources over the last twenty or thirty years both publicly and privately to under trying to understand how the drugs work but you've got medications here that at most reduce some of the symptoms of mood disorders of psychotic disorders they don't in any sense provide a cure this change of heart contradicts what we've been told about psychiatric drugs for a generation now and raises serious questions about how and why these drugs have

been dispensed so indiscriminately using antidepressants or any of the psychiatric drugs is simply not it's not understood is not explained it's not do well to ponder i think they're in a different class of drugs from most of the drugs that we take for our other elements in the eighty's and ninety's s.-s. our eyes were the first in a class of new mental health potions heralded as wonder drugs and miracle curious they were extolled as safe and effective solutions for the age old problem of depression and were marketed as such thus began an aggressive march towards a new era in psychiatry one which boasted chemicals for the mental health conditions the dog to mankind for millennia thirty years later however the window on that era and its bold proclamations appears to be closing in the immediate it can make a huge difference you could have someone going from being psychotic to being

non-psychotic which is a pretty amazing change in behavior. but i think what we we need to recognize had that happened or last fifty years is that they haven't. sound to be as good as we thought they were. while the drug companies ruthlessly defended their magic bullets in the courts and through the press they were in effect stigmatizing people who were harmed by using them in the early one nine hundred ninety s. this issue had reached a peak was prozac causing violence and suicide but what happened was that there psychopharmacology committee almost everybody on the committee worked for the drug companies so the conflicts of interest was so enormous that the f.d.a. had to give them all letters for giving them of their conflicts of interest they can be sued it was a manner of how do we cover it up how do we hide it at every step of the process towards approval and marketing thereafter was designed to hide and mislead the

public and physicians about the suicide side effect lilly's own secret files implicate the f.d.a. poorly by robert temple and thomas as being complicit in a scheme to whitewash the dark facts about prozac. has been called the house the president before the drug was introduced clearly reported earnings of six hundred million dollars annually prozac changeless fortunes and the company banked at least twenty one billion dollars in profits from the drug over the life of the patent. head. when i say to some people prescription drugs are the fourth leading cause of death in our society that seems to be the dividing line for some people who already know what's true or have read about and understand it and then there's others who think that's a myth that can't be true they simply can't conceive of that so they stop listening terence young is

a member of parliament in canada serving oakville ontario just outside of toronto after a prescription drug caused the death of his daughter vanessa he founded an advocacy group drug safety canada vanessa collapsed in front of me her heart had stopped basically she said. it up to go upstairs when you lose a child your world is upside down and i was thrown into a study of medicine of medical jargon of how the health care system works and when it doesn't work and i didn't ask for it but it was my way of dealing with the loss of an s. or so it was in a sense my way of grieving and it started the day she died for five years young investigated the practices of the medical and drug industries and in doing so he says he realized have pharmacy influence had permeated every construct of modern society the loss of his daughter coupled with the shocking truth see uncovered through his medical research led him to write death by prescription and

become one of canada's most odan proponents of informed choice. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got on my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this was quite

different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to blame that mainstream media has met its maker. and. any. one else seems wrong why don't we all just don't all. the world get to shape our disdain because get out of jail and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. boxall smith kline is just paid the largest fine in the history of the united

states related to fraud and criminal acts for a drug company they paid three billion dollars for illegal marketing of paxil wellbutrin and avandia paxil and avandia both having been drugs that caused a lot of deaths due to adverse drug reactions and they paid it in cash this action constitutes the largest health care settlement in united states history it was in their business plan because those three drugs in the years involved saw twenty five billion dollars worth in the drugs are marked up in the thousands of percent psychiatric unscientific ethics were cast aside in exchange for profits no one went to jail and real people paid the price. brennan worries hard on his sleeve he just adored social situations he loved to sing from a very young leaves music was part of our life and part of what he he adored what i

miss most about brennan is kamen it always give me a hug he that i have known him a hug i still think to this day he's going to walk through the door we were driving not too long ago nancy myself and our other son hayden and i looked in the backseat and hayden was sleeping and i went to look to see if britain was there to start a habit if he was sleeping to. brennan walk out of this house he was very robotic. brain and where are you going it's ok mom i just gotta go put on his winter coat brennan it's hot out today it's ok mom i just gotta go put on his winter had he said brandon it's hot out today you won't need that it's ok mom i've just got to go and i said i need you here for a minute no it's ok mom i've just got to go and that's all he could say to me and this was a child who was very articulate who would who is so over boasts that sometimes he would just say ok hannah. n.f.l. ready four days prior brennan went to the family doctor with

a chest cold and inexplicably came home with a sample pack of the antidepressant super next at the time of his disappearance he was exhibiting the classic signs of. i let him go out the door and that was the last time i saw him of the life and he brought his rope from the local store. and drove to a conservation area. texted us. and then have them self before long other teens across the canadian province of ontario would dying just like brennan did for terence young the problem hit close to home again when friends and constituents faced the same hora he in the mccartney's had my wife call my son hard to the phone and we heard him say a few words and the bang the phone down and ran upstairs obviously quite upset and we one said what happened he said sarah curran hanged herself and we had met sarah

who was eighteen years old just a few weeks before in our back deck they were part of a same social group and hopefully play guitar and sing songs and do karaoke or whatever. because in my own research the first thing i thought about when an otherwise healthy young person dies is was a prescription drug involved and of course it was in fact there's no doubt my mind that paxil and withdrawing from paxil was the cause of sarah carlin's demise her suicide a young woman hanging herself is an extremely rare thing to happen she went home one saturday night at two o'clock in the morning took off her makeup and hanged herself in her parents' basement. i reached out to turn to one point because i was in contact with the coroner's office i was starting to put pieces together it

wasn't until after sarah is death. that we actually started to connect the dots were brief others we have a great connection with terrence open the inquest doctors wouldn't talk to us after we fought hard for an inquest because we needed to understand and after syria had died then we started doing research on the drug that's why i really found out about the drug that's the first time we realised that paxil one of the side effects was suicidal thinking is videotape of the coroner's council saying on the very first day of the inquest we will show that paxil didn't play a part in their carlin's death well the whole point of the inquest was to see whether or not and the presence played a part here is to have the courts acknowledge that this medication can increase thoughts of suicide in particular patients but they don't think that the medication played a role in sarah carl and that the inquest the odds were stacked against the condoms

the jury i think was very courageous but they were specifically instructed by the coroner that they couldn't actually find paxil as a cause the jury made twelve key recommendations these were detailed recommendations to prevent similar doubts six of them were aimed at the drug industry and of the drug company so if they didn't think that paxil caused or played a critical role in sarah carlin's death they certainly wouldn't put six recommendations aimed at the pharmaceutical industry in there are a good decision. reach one hundred forty pounds of fury oh goodness yes and i was not easy to deal with my son joseph at that time was fifteen years of age stream lee hill it didn't matter what it was very very violent the drop of a pin would set me off you could actually say he would be everything that a schoolyard shooting is made out of. in the years after debbie steffen drove the

family's nine hundred ninety into a raging river with her children inside the mental states of both autumn string him and her brother joseph steffen deteriorated whether the cause was genetics or sheer trauma they both were diagnosed with bipolar disorder just like them mom joseph in particular seemed headed for disaster he was just a sweetheart but boy when he hit puberty he he really went over and became incredibly manic and incredibly violent and his mania was he was scary my dad was scared joseph was medicated with lithium i believe he was taking seven hundred fifty milligrams of of lithium and he was up to nine hundred milligrams of let him . for a period of time to try and control it was i having huge mood swings yeah that stuff definitely started i mean i've been through a lot of pain with the death of my mother and various events that happened in my

life after my mother had committed suicide. i was the most violent person that i knew and i used to wander the streets at night and i'd go pick fights with the local people and i had this aluminum bat that i had found and i beat it against the curb so it was just jagat and torn up and you know that was my weapon of choice and i mean i'm lucky i never touched anybody with that thing. my children are already saying to me come on. you've got to get them out of the house he's going to kill somebody you've got to do something dad didn't matter what we threw at this situation it wasn't going to get better and i'm going to lose him to a suicide or he's going to have to be institutionalized a thousand miles away autumn was also struggling desperately now married with a child she too was caught in the grip of a mother's madness at that point in my life i just felt like everything was ashes

you know i just lost my mom to suicide my diagnosis had been upgraded so now is rapid cycling bipolar one schizophrenia tendencies which was it seemed really dark like i wasn't going to get over that. and so i had actually planned to commit suicide with one child ingesting a five drug cocktail and contemplating suicide and the other engulfed by violent thoughts tony stephens family was under siege. so i was left in a charitable state a terrible state where i had to find an answer because you see my family was literally coming unglued. i was going to lose my family stephan resolved to find an answer and prevent any further suicides in his family. as part of the research for his book called the book of woe gary greenberg was

imbedded with psychiatrists as they debated the new edition of the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders the d.s. and five all along it's been clear that the d.s.m. is centrally a work of fiction it's the way that psychiatry states have of saying if if there are mental disorders if they exist in nature the ways illnesses like diabetes exist then these are what they are changing the way we understand ourselves is intimately related to the development of the diagnostic and statistical manual the d.s.m. is often referred to as the bible of psychiatric disorders it is the quintessential diagnostic instrument over four hundred thousand in the united states use the d.s.m. and in order to get third party reimbursement one has to have a d.s.m. diagnosis so the d.s.m. is extremely instrumental in two thousand and five two respected academics lisa cos

grove of you must boston and sheldon from skee of tufts released their investigation into conflicts of interest between d.s.m. four panel members and the pharmaceutical industry i think the data really speak for themselves the strongest statistics include the panel members for the mood disorders and schizophrenia and psychotic disorders one hundred percent of those panel members and yes that's right every single panel member has financial cessations with a pharmaceutical industry and if you look at it in terms of the sheer amount of money the antidepressant market and the anti-psychotic markets are the fourth and fifth leading therapy classes of drugs with annual sales of twenty billion and fourteen billion respectively there are one hundred seventy d.s.m. panel members that's the total inclusive of all the working groups of those hundred seventy panel members fifty six percent had. at least one financial says the pharmaceutical company.

called perfect family began to unhinge shortly after david began taking paxil i really didn't know very much more mental illness until when i was forty five years old then i had my first major depression and i was chewed with paxil and in fact when i look back on it now there's no question i was manic when i was on packs of the first time that was the very first time that i ever even looked that issues around drugs and side effects so. i noticed that there was a big difference before he started taking medication and then while he was taking the medication i remember him snapping on me about something very small and i remember him spending so much time in his office i remember him just being just being more quiet and not being himself and looking stressed out and. just. different she was just this tremendous discomfort with being on that particular

drug and really made me wonder you know should i be on it. the one word that aptly describes american politics today is divisions the line that divides liberals from conservatives is deep and even worrisome to make things worse there are some of the same dividing lines within the major political parties can these breaches be made. well you know the cars they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in the smaller boats next to the harp on ships and it's. the little self the big top fish already ninety percent of the dot on a ball in the collar. you can't fifteen's.

assembly address trying lashed out at north korea syria and iran terror on foreign minister has already reacted branding trumps remarks shameless and ignorant despite iran's compliance with the nuclear nonproliferation deal signed in twenty fifteen washington and new sanctions against tehran in june and just a week later congress passed a bill to impose fresh sanctions against the country and while those sanctions were claimed not to be related to nuclear issues the trumpet ministrations still insists on reviewing the iran nuclear deal this view however is not shared by several american allies particularly france with president micron defending the agreement at the general assembly look at all i would like to defend the nuclear agreement with iran are engaged went on nonproliferation allowed us to work out on the fourteenth of july two thousand and fifteen a solid robust and verifiable agreement that enables us to ensure that iran does

not obtain nuclear weapons renouncing it would be a great era this could apply to north korea to immediately dialogue control and multilateralism these are the efficient weapons this is the only way forward. this is how it rains have reacted to trump's latest hostile remarks about their country. you know the un says iran is complying with the green light all european countries and russia see this saying the only country that claims otherwise is the us. people need to stand together giving in to america would achieve nothing it would make matters worse than they are now. we are not afraid and we have never been since the beginning. we have been under sanctions for four decades and the people of iran are certainly not afraid now in fact sanctions have made iran more independent in many fields. we discussed the potential consequences of washington's

pressure on iran with former cia officer jack rice as well as terror political analyst. unfortunately we have to realize that it's the p five plus one everybody agreed not just the brits and the french the russians the chinese the americans if we pull out of this it's the entire world will be looking at the united states i agree that there are limitations and problems in fact you could expand upon this and it needs to be but to walk away from this deal in itself would be a huge error at this point. has many components of power including its nuclear industry missile power and regional prisons and military clout and influence in the region what they mean in washington is to wear off these components of power once they do so iran would be a very easy target like iraq at the time of saddam hussein would mean.

fundamental violation of the nuclear deal and iranian officials including the supremely there are they have all warned that iran would give them a very tough response in another development the top diplomats of russia and the u.s. also met in new york to discuss global conflicts an ongoing dispute between the two countries following the meeting of foreign minister sergey lavrov commented on the state of bilateral relations and who he thinks may be to blame for the tensions. well the relations so there are difficult and very low point. which is the legacy of the obama administration. and we certainly know to what president thrown for saying when he was running for presidency about the relations with russia and what he continues to say basically that he wants to have good relations with russia understanding that this would be in the neck and interests of the interests of solving quite a number of important most acute world problems and what i hear you

talking to rick still or so is that this is the position of the administration this really is with us. being responsible people i believe russian government the u.s. administration should. exercise this responsibility even addressing the bilateral links as well as international issues. spanish police have confiscated more than one hundred thousand posters promoting the upcoming independence referendum in catalonia set for the first of october that takes the total number of material seized in relation to the vote some more than a million the move has been met with protests which at one demonstration erupted into song i. was. for each paper for each poster that they seize we will put up ten moon

in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporate corporations from washington to washington controls the media the media and. the voters elected to business to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before

. welcome back to the program the u.s. senate's filed its first hearing on a bill to tackle online sex trafficking if approved it will allow legal action to be taken against platforms and services that host illicit content however tech companies claim is a step towards undermining free speech online the bills are the result of a two year inquiry into a side that knowingly facilitated child sex trafficking altie samir khan has. silicon valley and congress are now clashing over the issue of online human trafficking u.s. lawmakers have proposed a new bill that would make websites liable for prosecution if they fail to combat the problem internet giants such as google facebook and twitter have opposed the bill saying it would undermine free speech the bill also jeopardizes bedrock principles of a free nope an internet with serious economy can speech implications well beyond

its intended school the mother of a deceased victim of human trafficking sees this issue quite differently my name is yvonne amber old. mother of the lights. and i'm asking you do you want the senate change section to thirty and support the bipartisan legislation to stop enabling sex traffickers act not only for my baby but for the protection of yours and others come yvonne ambrose says her sixteen year old daughter was killed after she was advertised for sex on back page an online classified ad service ambrose wants to hold the website responsible but back page denies this saying they did not advertise her child for years however the company has been accused of allowing its users to post classified ads of prostitutes some even under age according to the national center for missing and exploited children the majority of its child sex trafficking cases involve on back

page so why not just close the site well under u.s. law internet providers are not liable for user content no provider or user of an interactive computer service should be treated as the publisher to speak of any information provided by another information content provider now tech giants still want to change the law and don't want to take responsibility either but when it comes to limiting speech however they are more than ready to take responsibility for our system relies on people in the community being able to reach out and tell us what they think is offensive and then we stuff teams of people hundreds of people around the world to be able to go look into those claims and follow the guidelines to take down the content. that we feel is hate speech or according to those policies last year facebook twitter microsoft and you tube announced a code of conduct pledging to remove online hate speech within twenty four hours google and facebook launch a fact checking algorithm that labels news as fake if it fails to pass an

independent audit and in august you to began to monetizing videos that they deem extremist it seems as if these i.t. giants have no problem restricting user content themselves but quickly draw a line when the government tries to do so now is this a pick. choose approach or are tech giants correct in trying to prevent government censorship even if they're guilty of censoring content themselves samir khan r. t. washington d.c. . political satirist amy horowitz believes the opposition from tech companies is purely motivated through a fear of lost profits. there's a group think among all these high tech companies and there are certain political ideologies mainstream ideologies which which are for a bit and almost sometimes on their website they're trying to make sure that their political perspective is the one that's dominant on their platforms and that other ideologies other ideas other thoughts are really trying to be shunted to the side

and it's quite scary what that means to our democracy this is all about liability this is all about being protected from lawsuits these big i.t. companies don't want some old creepy guy name ronnie you know going about his dirty business and then being sued because of it because the app is to post something on facebook or you tube what have you but this whole argument is all about money and avoid being sued so that's really what at the heart of this issue here. one hundred and forty nine people confirmed dead for a massive earthquake hit central mexico the epicenter of the second point one quake was in the state of play some eighty miles southeast of the capital rescue efforts have continued through the night. the way the ego

a trail. when so many find themselves while the wide awake just in the common ground. i. like so many who tumbled into the world events depressants without forethought david carr michael did so unaware of the potential dangers when i was on x. so we had no idea the trigger delusions or none of that was out in the abdomen for

so many years you just assume my doctor knew best i'm going about the side effects are direct it's like i can't just immediately i'm too busy worrying when everything happened and i had just finished a date for my friends who knew my father and they just knew that something was wrong because they knew who my dad wise and you just would never in a million years think that he would do something that he did. right currently was a high priority of mine turned in the best care possible. how about openness waits looks. they become michael had been on sixty milligrams of paxil for two weeks when he set out for one of their favorite father son activities a b.m.x. bike competition in london ontario. yeah.

what i've learned in this journey is i no longer take for granted even one breath things get reduced to the minutes and he you know that you have the strength for that minute it's. actually you. have the. place they are there and i were friends in college we are both a county majors david was that funny brilliant guy that yours wanted in your group david was a guy you'd want to be around it's that's about the best way split when you met him it was good there is he was open it was funny he was very witty my dad was a very caring father. very funny too it wake me up in the morning singing whatever group i was into at the time it was spice girls when i was little it's a brilliant auditor auditing for a major corporation is stressful and there's

a lot of things that go with that if you want to do the right thing there was a guy who like any of us had his share of challenges in life we all did we went to the psychiatrist in early two thousand and six and he said well what about prozac you have a chemical imbalance let's put you on prozac it's the standard of care it's what they do it's almost a marketing strategy that works in oh. i have a disease within days of ingesting prozac david crespi became troubled towards the end of just talking back and forth he said do you. ever feel like life is too dark to go on it's crazy it's not the way i think those thoughts are natural to me i recall a few events from the day before that would suggest that he was going psychotic david was jumping out of the bed and walking around a throw rug and hitting each corner and then jumping back into bed and i'm going

what are you doing because it just feels good well now i attribute that to act the zia. tragedy was january twentieth two thousand and six on that day took all the kids to school left to go get my haircut left the girls in the care of their loving father they were in as a spend time with him when i came back into the neighborhood after being gone for an hour and fifteen minutes. i saw a police barricade and i saw some of my very concerned neighbors coming towards me the police officer asked my name and he said we're going to need you in this house . i called my dad in california and i made sure my step mom was right next to him and i said you know dad i have to tell you something really hard i said i am in the back of a police car and i've just been told that david killed sam tell us what he did to.

stab them so how many can if you stab them. back again make a family care a little bit harder. i know i know what you're up there for i be very down the way kathy my step mom adored sam and tess was we all did started wailing and i could hear her on speakerphone and my dad goes honey dave would not to that david is not like that you are mistaken and i wish i were but i am in the back of a squad car. crispy children respond to the police and were told nothing until kim arrived at the station they really thought that their dad had killed himself my mom came in and told us that they're telling me that your dad killed your sisters we had to use the language they're telling me because we couldn't believe that's what actually happened. idea of him killing tess and sam was so foreign but they knew something had happened and that's how

the whole thing started i went to the doctor and i can remember saying i'm afraid i may hurt someone or she said your compact too compassionate to do that that's just the depression talking never was anybody ever saying the medicine could do this psychosis the drug killed our daughters he. was his jealously alter it my dad in his right mind when you have done anything like this i can remember this battle of these thoughts are real because when you have a complete psychotic break like that and you kill two of your most treasured people in your life people that every other day every other day he would have died for them what i did was done on a cocktail of lethal drugs we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible just because something's legal doesn't mean it's safe. and for

all of that reserving to back to back life sentences. yeah. july thirty first two thousand and four i had been on paxil for three weeks i took him into a hotel room in london ontario and at three o'clock in the morning thinking that he had permanent brain damage that he was a living hell he was going to kill my daughter julian he was going to harm other kids and my wife was going to his prey down which were my five delusions i strangle them and i sat with his body for six hours until i called the police in one o'clock in the morning very calmly saying that i had committed homicide and opened the door for them and then i was arrested and charged first degree murder when the police came in and arrested me and asked me why didn't i run i said i wanted to stay with my son is in a better place now he was living how. and i stayed with him as long as possible for fourteen long days david carr michael was psychotic and suffered drug withdrawals

in his jail cell before awakening to the ultimate terra psychosis lasted for two rigs and africa were my psychosis a couple weeks after everything happened i was devastated i cried for three days in segregation the london middlesex attention center i cannot believe what i had ian was laid to rest by david's family it would be months before d.n.a. tests indicated that carmichael's body was unable to metabolize the paxil he'd ingested and that the drug was the likely cause of this unthinkable act dr peter bergen says he's seen it all before nenni people do not have the a rare event zines in their livers to properly destroy s.s.r.i. drugs when they get no bloodstream so the judge pairs the liver and they don't get quote metabolized me they don't get broken down so you might get the equivalent of

a ten milligram dose of an s.s.r.i. but your blood level is thirty or forty and there are studies out of australia correlating the violence with the lack of the enzyme for these drugs the public has no understanding of how part or other as a society trigger homicidal psychotic episode and i may not care now but there is evidence based on d.n.a. that parts of that cause me to kill my son and it's something that i have to live with and i want to mourn the power you know my stigma is after church to produce their own mental wounds us. other people beat me up emotionally when i'm out there that's why they'll never be me up as much as a b. myself of her life for her part jillian who was only fourteen when the tragedy occurred says she grew up the day she grasped what it really happened to her father i realized who he was before who he was during the period of time that he was taking medication. and i realize it is two different people david credits julian is

the reason he did not take his own life while in prison there were several times or i was either in jail or in a psychiatric hospital where i related to my own life. what kept me going was my daughter julia said one line and it was i'm a good dad i'm going to be a dad again and that was my hope and you know joy in whatever she was doing wherever she was was thinking that she wanted her dad back in her life to how could i not accept him back east you know he's an amazing man he's my father and i love him david carmichael was found not criminally responsible for his son's death as two psychiatrists one working for the defense and one for the prosecution both agreed that he was psychotic at the time of the tragedy i was like a care about this another is the apathy for me but i think you know when i tell you what i. thought. yeah the pain will never go away ian was just

an amazing person and he was an amazing brother and he was an amazing friend and amazing son he just he had so much life yeah. sorry. by two thousand and four the british government had virtually banned s.s. all rise for children and young adults in light of the real risk of suicide and violence but in america the us f.d.a. remained unconvinced and demanded more studies for over twenty years thomas was head of f.d.a. psychopharmacology division and had been in the sick of the s.s.r.i. controversy since well before the one nine hundred ninety one prozac hearings lockring left f.d.a. in two thousand and twelve and started a new business dedicated to helping drug companies get f.d.a. approval for their drugs but he was not alone at the intersection of public service

and personal profit i do not find from the evidence today that there is credible evidence to support a conclusion that an ide to present drugs cause the emergence and or the intensification of suicidality and or other violent behaviors when dr daniel casey resurfaced nine years after the one thousand nine hundred one prozac hearings he chad he did so as a paid expert witness for pfizer attorney andy victory conducted the deposition you were the chairman of that committee for several years right yes the chairman of that committee who is moderating it in a public building in a public place was wearing a bulletproof vest dr casey did you wear a bulletproof vest at that meeting yes. i do you ever wore one part of that well have you ever worn one set you know because either one of the family members of the people men or my present would shoot him you certainly did not believe it was felt from the eli lilly side of the coin did you. know no conflict of interest and yet

that would not affect your objectivity so your testimony yes. this with me and many. of the other. but not both i'm sure was a problem but i guess we're kind of on this side of this yes. just in the seat of the industry. where the who he will get a good area for immigrants it's. never really know for sure but this has been.

enough. when i started no i. don't know why hard selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't. produce offspring to tell you that gossiping probably worthwhile for the most important day. off of advertising tells me you are not cool enough to fight their product. all the hawks that we along with all the walking. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. more somehow i want to be

pressed. to be pressed to say what the forecast for you in the morning can be good good i'm interested always in the waters of my colleagues. question. from. in a remote town in western canada the stephan family was facing a life and death struggle in the shadow of the rocky mountains two of debbie stephens children were exhibiting the same symptoms that had ultimately claimed her life joseph was becoming frighteningly violent and his sister autumn was succumbing to severe bipolar with its mecurio mood swings their father tony stuff and was

desperate and searching for any way to save his children when drug after drug failed the answer came from what seemed the unlikeliest of places micronutrients mainly minerals i remember the earlier days of you know doing the the testing with nutrients and and different things i think they were trying to reduce some liquid mineral thing too you know so it's not like you to drink a whole cup of something it could be an ounce and i don't think it works very good like it smelled funny i remember the smell and i can still taste in the back of my throat i think they burned it i'm not sure we put him on a cocktail that contain vitamins minerals and he oxidants an amino acids i was absolutely livid when i found out that he had taken joseph off of his medication and i said some terrible things to him i told him that it was on his head the next suicide in this family was going to be has fought i remember about

six weeks into this program that we sat together on the couch and he said where was i. what happened to me why was i so angry all the time said don't go there you don't have to live the day you're here in the present it was like one day waking up and a fog had completely left it and that was amazing it was it were very real turning point in my life with joseph on the mend tony steph and then turned his attention to his daughter autumn who had been in and out of psych wards. i won't say that i forced her to do it because it doesn't some politically correct but i constrained her to do it you know and she she just didn't believe that this was going to work at all it was just just keep taking your medications i don't care you know take your meds take this whether just keep taking it so they waited until i had a little med breakthrough and i went rummaging for a knife and there was and screaming involved and he and this friend of his who

happened to be a psychiatric nurse. stuffed me with a bunch about a van and pup made a bed and then while i was still really nicely sedated began force feeding me the concoctions back in one thousand nine hundred six when i first met autumn string him it was the first day i also met her father tony stephan and she was sitting there in front of us completely normal very bright very articulate very charming young woman. doing very well on vitamins and minerals but she had lived through this horrible horrible period and could remember it so vividly it was very impressive you knew that you were hearing a true story and i think that that has come through consistently with autumn these were just three people from southern alberta who believed that they had fixed two

children in tony's family and they did it with vitamins and minerals off the shelf and they just desperately wanted a scientist somewhere to take them seriously and do some research when stefan and true who approached dr caplan in one thousand nine hundred sixty she was the director of behavioral research for the university of calgary as a scientist she was highly skeptical and sort the notion of utilising minerals for mental illness was simply proposed for us i thought well that's impossible you can't do that there's no way it would have that effect but i think that line of thought. is reflective of our lack of education about nutrition and the fact that blood is bathing the neurons in our brain every minute of every day bringing oxygen and what micronutrients to make those brain cells work stephan and his co-founder created a nonprofit called true hoop and after years of experimentation they developed a mineral based formula called m.

power plus intrigued by autumn and joseph successful transformations dr caplan dogs continued studying the formula for bipolar disorder a d h d and depression he wasn't trying to build an empire when he set out to save me and joe it was it was not a deliberate act the way he's not of formulator it was a conversation that led to an idea that led to an answer and that's all he was ever in it for and he's faced so much opposition for doing the right thing he's faced a lot of opposition for that and i think it's changed the course of his whole life as it has with dr caplan when she first presented her findings about the true hope mineral vitamin combination to the canadian psychiatric association's annual meeting in two thousand and one she and the company were immediately under attack when i went to graduate school they did not prepare me to be personally attacked for just doing objective research that was

a little shocking when you try. to get a new paradigm. the resistance is incredible i watched dr caplan go through this we had major resistance from health care the shutting down trials i mean here they are the government had provided five hundred fifty four thousand dollars so that she could continue the work health care that came in and swathed the trial they destroyed health canada not only shut down dr kaplan scientific investigation into micronutrients mental health they ordered true hope to stop manufacturing in power plus when the company refused they seized the product to the us canadian border and banned it for sale in canada why we're talking about vitamins and minerals here when true hope for back through the courts and one it wasn't long thereafter that health canada mobilized the royal canadian mounted police to conduct a gun was drawn raid at the true hope offices in alberta despite farmers falsified

science and billion dollar fines for fraudulent marketing and in spite of millions who were harmed by psychiatric drugs health canada decided that it was this tiny nonprofit that needed to be shown the full might of the canadian government there has been a huge bias against nutrition research whose triggering that who what what is the political agenda that is continually. bombarding us with the message that taking vitamins and minerals might not be a good thing i don't get that but the result is that the there is a lot of bias against people who say not only should we take them we should be studying it more and we should see whether or not there is treatment benefit from vitamins and minerals after nearly two decades of wrangling with health canada and three quarters of a million dollars in court costs and legal fees for true hope bonnie kaplan judea rutledge and others continue to investigate the use of nutrients as

a primary treatment for mental health yet the road has been anything but easy. i was very aware of how many people were incredibly skeptical about this work i was trained as a scientist and we need to evaluate the evidence and what has astounded me is the obstacles that we've faced in order to try to answer what's a i think a very important question for our community i happen to think that medications are very important especially in acute crises but to me they're the supplement in the ideal world i believe that it would be more beneficial to a lot of people especially developing children to be treated first with everything psychosocial family therapy etc and nutritional which is not going to cause any long term harm and that should be primary intervention there or they're going to keep the people who want to say that you know i'm just trying to make

a lot of money off of a big made up story but my mother is dead in the ground her dad stead. and we all know how that happened. she had a prescription and and i'm not dead. and i've got four healthy kids and a great marriage and that's something i didn't expect would ever happen with me. the lesson of a generation's worth of psychiatric experiments is that regulators didn't protect the public doctors didn't protect patients journalists refused to us the tough questions the pharmaceutical companies played the system and profited handsomely and millions suffered died it came out dicts or otherwise harmed. these are the stories of those who have fallen and of those who have somehow survived many lost

sons and daughters brothers and sisters and their tragedies forced these private people out of the shadows they wanted answers and were not interested in the politics of medicine if the truth had been afforded us decades ago millions would have been spared similar fates perhaps changes coming albeit too slowly but until it occurs we should take nothing for granted not our lives nor our lives or the gift of our families and friends as these letters from generation our ex have taught us there is peril in the conventional wisdom of treating so many people so indiscriminately with such powerful life changing drugs. as they move on every birthday every holiday every anniversary of a loved one's death. their only practice to stop this from happening to anyone else .

please. please. please.

please well you know the fire thing we've kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small boat snit's it hard for ships and it's scary. the little self to being told fish already nine to be darn hot and it won't be calmer. fifteen's. tongues true they do it several times a day with a big screens are you get an idea right ocean. leap we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be with this be feel for you. i'm doing this because i want to the future

world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. the one word that describes american politics today is deficient the line that divides liberals from conservatives is deep and even worrisome to make things worse there are some of the same dividing lines within the major political parties can these breaches be made. nobody off. the marshall and. islamic states claims it was behind the manchester terror attack by the militant front so kill the priest every time a terrorist attack happens all these people are out there screaming isis is so bad someone needs to do something against them for me was like yeah why don't we move in something. that.

is the. result of those numbers. to go into the opposite of that if. you challenge them to check if the zoom channel stuff and soon. i was going to. rip the who killed innocent. moved on. he wasn't easy. on it so tough it was it can also lead to. some of them by his own mouth a little his acknowledged it's he didn't stop and you don't. know sadistically

would see einsteins not prevail tell him not to get any money but he bullshit mind . are you going to make because he's a woman. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporation corporations from washington to washington controls the media the media over voters elected businessman to run this country business equals power boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. here's what people have been saying about redacted in ny was there was actually just full on austin throughout the only show i go out of my way to launch you know a lot of the really packs upon how to delete yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same thing we are apparently better than booth nothing's

better since i see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight was the president of the world bank so take your money go write me seriously send us an e-mail. list then which with my input i can know those get a little bit of code was. plus i'm a lawyer but i you. know both it was a problem but i guess what kind of scientists you have. if you dump on a handwritten note she refused a little misty. for the blue he won't get it it's just a good area to hunt for immigrants it's hit and miss we never really know for sure but this has been a active area. becky

so i can. tell ya you. know what when i started knowing. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were yourself and taken your last turn. as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each prat. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a kid still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with this one different

speech because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. donald trump delivers his much anticipated first speech at the un general assembly and it turns out to be remarkably similar to the speeches of his predecessors. in america we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone i do not think that america can or should impose our system of government or other crap. on the us side it holds a hearing on a bill to retire to online sex trafficking but some technology companies are opposed to all doing they shouldn't be liable for the news as content. and as catalonia edges closer to his.
