“if you torture the data for long enough, you can make them say anything.”..In my view, that is exactly what US CDC and DEA have been doing with their deliberate conflation and mis-characterization of research results on medical prescribing versus opioid-involved overdose mortality.

THE WAR ON DRUGS IS A WAR ON US AND MUST BE BROUGHT TO AN END
ASSETS DETERMINE WHO GETS TARGETED, ARRESTED AND CHARGED… NOTES FROM THE DETROIT-5
PROFIT MODEL POLICING DRIVES OPIOID EPIDEMIC LAW ENFORCEMENT SCANDAL (OPIOIDGATE)
In the federal criminal trial of the US versus Bothra et al., the prosecution was able to flip Ms. Campbell and convince her to testify against her former employer Dr. Rajendra Bothra who owned the Pain Center USA in Warren, Michigan. Ms. Campbell is a nurse practitioner specializing in family medicine. She worked for the Pain Center USA for approximately four months. In federal court, she admitted under oath to having little to no experience in treating chronic pain patients and that Dr. Bothra had provided her with educational Opportunities, including out-of-state pain medicine conferences and review courses.
As a witness for the prosecution, Diane Campbell RN stated that the Pain Center USA was a “pill mill. “ However, on cross-examination by defense counsel, she admitted that she had no knowledge of the 2016 CDC opioid prescribing guidelines and was oblivious to the concept of morphine milligram equivalents (MME). She could not define such vague concepts as “overprescribing” and “highly addictive” or define what a “pill mill” actually was.
Interestingly after the first defense attorney was finished, Ms. Campbell tried to actually leave the witness stand and walk out of the courtroom. Judge Stephen Murphy III abruptly told her that three more defense attorneys needed to cross-examine her, much to her chagrin.
Ms. Campbell’s characterization of the pain center as a “pill mill,” which was intentionally elicited by the prosecution, was directly contrasted by the prosecution’s opening statement, which claimed that the physicians at the Pain Center USA were intentionally underprescribing FDA-approved opioid medication so as to “fly under the radar“ of law-enforcement scrutiny.
Never mind that all scheduled prescriptions in Michigan are reported to the Michigan Automated Prescription System (MAPS), the state’s prescription drug databank PDMP. Interestingly, Miss Campbell’s testimony directly contrasted to the prosecution’s narrative and was reminiscent of Orwellian doublespeak. In the case of this particular prosecution, the justice department wanted its cake and eat it too.
CHRISTOPHER RUSSO MD
We intimidated McMillion and Helms during the actual trial and testimony, we focused on the actual science, medicine, and care of the actual chronic pain patients and their symptomatology and pathology. We broke down the actual charts and explained our decision-making regarding a multi-modal approach to pain management. This included rational polypharmacy, including opioids and non-narcotic medications. DME, physical therapy, injections, urine drug screens, opioid agreements, pill counts, referrals to other specialists, including addiction medicine and surgical consultations. All of these things that they claimed were a conspiracy and fraud scheme. When it was actually broken down and presented to the jury, the prosecution narrative melted like an ice cube in the Arizona desert. They had no answers for an actual medical defense. We took them to the deep end of the pool, where they couldn’t swim.
Helen Borel RN, Ph.D., author of “American Agony War Against Patients in Pain:
“Unspeakably unfair, devised by the catch-22 world of DOJ platters against clinicians, because of asset foreclosure during litigation tendencies, Dr. Russo, like all physicians, so illegally targeted, couldn’t pay for vigorous legal defense. Bogus charges, intimidation of Pain Center nursing staff into testifying against these pain specialists with threats a day two would go to prison if they didn’t testify cording to the prosecution slides are rampant.”
So, even after a federal jury found the Pain Center doctors Not Guilty after a 7-week trial, the US Attorney Eastern District@USAO_MIE still keeps 50% of the doctor’s money they took pretrial. This was after the doctors easily debunked every allegation made against them. @MichaelNey19, Feb 17, 2023
PROSECUTION NOTES FROM THE TRIAL OF RAJENDRA BOTHRA MD, et al. DETROIT, MICHIGAN
First, do no harm” doesn’t apply to the DEA or any of the alphabet agencies n the past forty years, the US has spent over $2.5 trillion dollars to DEA. Despite the efforts, stats show that drug availability and addiction rates have remained unchanged. INSANITY is expecting change. @SquireKnut
NOVEMBER 2022 DETROIT MI, RUSSO WRITING ON LESLY POMPY MD
Here is what happened on day one without warning; please state invaded Dr. Lesly Pompy‘s legitimate medical practice. There they confiscated his patients’ private medical records. They also took possession of his personal and family assets from his home and office.
These Hitlerian tack cakes were coldly executed that faithful day in September 2016 with police, unschooled in things medical, counting up his legal narcotic prescriptions and making ridiculous judgments about the volume of his pain patient prescriptions over many years Dr. has been practicing medicine legitimately, emphatically and ethically.
Here are some of Dr. Pompy‘s patient’s reactions to his place state disruption in their medical care:
“He helped my dad for 15 years to keep pain low enough so he could work.”
“Without Dr. Pompy, I have killed myself, and it hurts so bad. Now what?”
“When other doctors gave up on me, Dr. Pompy carefully examined me and chose the best pain medication‘s I’ve ever had”.“I was there when the cops broke into Dr. Pompy‘s office. Frightened me. I cried because I’ll never find such a kind doctor again who figure out the exact right dose for my pain“.
“My husband was hurt on the job, and he was helped with pain medicine by Dr. Pompy. Years later, my spine bones were causing pain, and Dr. Pompy chose the best pain reliever for me. What will we do without him?”
Dr. Lesly Pompy, MD, was found not guilty on all counts on January 04, 2023, so say we all.

THE TROUBLE WITH Tools of the Investigation
From the United States Attorneys’ Bulletin July 2018
ARCOS
“The Automation of Reports and Consolidated Orders System (ARCOS) is an online reporting system that includes reports from all DEA registrants who distribute specific controlled substances, including opioids. ARCOS can be a great source of data, particularly with regard to the volume of controlled substances being dispensed by certain professionals.
DEA plays an integral role in the regulation of physicians who prescribe opioids. In his article, Overview of the Drug Enforcement Administration Diversion Control Program, Louis J. Milione summarizes that regulation:
The DEA ARCOS is an automated, comprehensive drug reporting system that monitors the flow of DEA-controlled substances from their point of manufacture through commercial distribution channels to the point of sale or distribution at the dispensing/retail level – hospitals, retail pharmacies, practitioners, mid-level practitioners, and teaching institutions.
ARCOS accumulates these transactions, which are then summarized into reports, which give investigators in Federal and state government agencies information that can be used to identify the diversion of controlled substances into illicit distribution channels. “Information on drug distribution is used throughout the United States (U.S.). by U.S. Attorneys and DEA investigators to strengthen criminal cases in the courts.” Through their own word usage and practice, ” DEA uses statistical analyzation to review to determine and identify the diversion of controlled substances into illicit channels of distribution.”
THE TROUBLE DEA APPLYING PROBABILITY MATHEMATICS
However, what the DEA is doing is applying probability mathematics. Probability is a mathematical tool used to study randomness. It deals with the chance of an event occurring. Through this agency’s application of probability statistical mathematics, the DEA uses their ARCOS as an instigation tool to identify the diversion of controlled substances into illicit distribution channels.
This federal agency is monitoring “the point of sales from the point of manufacture through commercial distribution channels to the point of sale or distribution at the dispensing/retail level – hospitals, retail pharmacies, practitioners, mid-level practitioners, and teaching institutions.”
In essence, this agency monitors and prosecutes medical professionals for performing their license medical fiduciary responsibilities on patients.
“Dozens of retired black narcotics agents say their former agency, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, has discriminated against its African-American employees for decades.”
ABC NEWS-
The trouble with probability mathematics is if a doctor is good and performs exemplary service, medical professionals would be targeted despite his or her professional services.
For example, with the DEA ARCOS system, when a doctor or pharmacist orders a class 2 medication, the DEA knows the exact number of the medication ordered. With the DEA ARCOS system, the agency knows when the doctor’s prescription is and who by name receives the prescription. The agency knows when the pharmacist filled the prescription and by name as to who received the amount and type of class 2 medications.
It has been clearly seen that his agency applies geographic enforcement tactics to identify the diversion of controlled substances and illicit channels of distribution using probability and statistics.
When we examine the charges placed against medical professionals, we can clearly see the application of the ARCOS system when the agency write within their affidavit, “C.F.R. § 1306.04(a) (emphasis added). A pharmacist violates this provision only if the pharmacist “knowingly fill[s]” a “purported” prescription—i.e., a prescription that was not written, “in the usual course of professional treatment.”
To analyze and establish probability mathematics that a licensed professional and state “mis-practicing pharmacist “knowingly fill[s]” a “purported’” prescription—i.e., a prescription that was not written, “in the usual course of professional treatment.” This statement clearly establishes that the agents apply circumstantial analytical evidence to substantiate a violation.
Using the ARCOS system, each DEA understood well in advance how their system tracks and identifies each prescription, who received the medication, and how much medication was provided to the patient.
In essence, the DEA is applying inferential statistics, the null hypothesis that two possibilities are the same. If a pharmacist orders 6000 class oxycodone pills, the DEA approves the reception of the medication. In fact, the DEA approves the shipment and authorizes the reception of the medication at the pharmacy. However, with their knowledge of their approval for the pharmacist to receive the medication, the DEA often calls a pharmacy ‘pill mills.’.
“Distributors report sales of Schedule I, II, and some III opioid-based medications to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for its database, known as the Automation of Reports and Consolidated Orders System (ARCOS). From the point of manufacturing through commercial distribution to delivery to DEA- and state-registered pharmacies, hospitals, and other healthcare providers.”
It should be made clear that the DEA applies its ARCOS system data analytical reports, such as reports that must be provided within or attached to the investigative reports. No citizen should ever be subjected to inferential statistical investigatory tools and be subjected to governmental enforcement.
CONGRESS MUST REORGANIZE THE DEA
The current enforcement practices of the DEA are biases based. The racial based culture is so powerful that members of the DEA lack the cognitive abilities to provide adequate and accurate law enforcement practices.”
JEFF SESSIONS’S THE TARGETING PACKAGES
“In January 2018, General Sessions announced a DEA surge to combat prescription opioid diversion.”
I am announcing today that, over the next 45 days, DEA will surge Special Agents, Diversion Investigators, and Intelligence Research Specialists to focus on pharmacies and prescribers who are dispensing unusual or disproportionate amounts of drugs. DEA collects some 80 million transaction reports every year from manufacturers and distributors of prescription drugs.
These reports contain information like distribution figures and inventory. DEA will aggregate these numbers to find patterns, trends, and statistical outliers—and put them into targeting packages. That will help us make more arrests, secure more convictions—and ultimately help us reduce the number of prescription drugs available for Americans to get addicted to or overdose from these dangerous drugs.
In February 2018, General Sessions appointed an experienced federal prosecutor to serve as the National Director of Opioid Enforcement and Prevention Efforts at the Department of Justice.
He directed her to “help us formulate and implement initiatives, polices, grants, and programs relating to opioids and coordinate these efforts with law enforcement.” He also announced the creation of the Prescription Interdiction and Litigation (PIL) Task Force. The PIL Taskforce includes senior officials from the offices of the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, the Associate Attorney General, the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, the Civil Division, the Criminal Division, and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
General Sessions said, “The PIL Task Force will focus in particular on targeting opioid manufacturers and distributors who have contributed to this epidemic. We will use criminal penalties. We will use civil penalties. We will use whatever tools we have to hold people accountable for breaking our laws.” General Sessions warned physicians and pharmacists who are breaking the law, “These are not our last steps.
We will continue to attack the opioid crisis from every angle. And we will continue to work tirelessly to bring down the number of opioid prescriptions, reduce the number of fatal overdoses, and to protect the American people.” (see EXHIBIT-4 reference page 22)
THE TARGETING PACKAGES
(OR RACIAL PROFILING)
ALL WERE OBTAINED BY THE MARTYR, LATE ZENA LOGAL ESQ, THROUGH THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), WHO LATER DIED UNDER MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES
IN AMERICA, NEARLY 3,000 PHYSICIANS, DENTISTS, NURSE PRACTITIONERS, AND PHARMACISTS HAVE BEEN IMPRISONED AS THE RESULT OF THE WAR ON DRUGS MAJORITY OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS OF COLOR
These are the most updated excel files on physicians the U.S. Department of Justice targeted nationwide by the USDOJ by race, nation of origin, gender, and age. We can cause a huge upset in the system if there are 14th amendment violations which the data already shows that it is.
Remember, this effort started with Dr. Linda Cheek at Doctors of Courage and was continued by Dr. Neil Anand, Dr. Barbara Marino, Dr. Jay Joshi, Dr. Howard Adelglass, and Dr. Ashok Jain. There is a data list as well as equations.
