“ETIOLOGY OF HEALTHCARE TULSAFICATION; WE MUST GO PUBLIC AND CONGRESS MUST INVESTIGATE”
THE DEA’s CAMPAIGN OF PROFOUND STUPIDITY
It is time for the entire authority of licensing and registration of Control Drug medications to be moved from the DEA to the United States Office of the Surgeon General. Primarily because, over the years, the DEA has cleverly captured the ability to mis-classify, eviscerate the patient-practitioner relationships, and willfully redefine medical, pharmaceutical, and dental procedures to the detriment of the greater society.
These authors have found that the DEA is a criminal enterprise of the United States Government, has lost sight of its true mission, and now effectively uses bullying, threats, and intimidation tactics such as;
1. Raids and Arrests,
2. Forfeitures,
3. Prison Time
DEA’s policies are often in conflict with modern Public Health Medicine, which recognizes addiction, mental health, substance abuse, and acute and chronic pain as diseases. (see video by Norman and Jelani Clement of US Surgeon General Jerome M. Adams MD., statement on Mental Health and Substance Abuse) “Congress Must Investigate.”

CONGRESS MUST INVESTIGATE THESE ILLEGAL WICKED ACTIVITIES OF THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY (DEA)”
WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY IS THIS???
We’ve reported in earlier articles a disturbing trend within DEA whereby medical practitioners are being targeted. ( i.) (see videos below).
While it is easier to divert our attention to racismo, this is only an anodyne, masking how the DEA has become the sole heinous government agency whose tactics have increased the costs of medications and healthcare all across America.
They’ve accomplished this by misinterpreting the purpose and roles of medications needed to treat acute, chronic, neuropathic, and psychological pain.

failure of media
A campaign of false information has been generated and disseminated to sway the public into believing that these medications are on par with street drugs, dangerous drugs that contribute to abuse and trafficking, and the so-called ‘Opioid crisis’ in America.
The Agency has raided and arrested medical personnel for dispensing prescription ordered medications, particularly control medications, to the community.”
RADIO SILENCE ON ACQUITTAL
More importantly, Congress did not leave it to the DEA to perform one of its core CSA functions—the scheduling of controlled substances— without healthcare agency oversight and evaluation. See id. § 811(b) (“The Attorney General shall, before initiating proceedings . . . [to schedule or reschedule a drug] . . . request from the [HHS] Secretary a scientific and medical evaluation, . . . The recommendations of the Secretary to the Attorney General shall be binding . . . as to such scientific and medical matters.”).

THE DEA’s RED FLAGS PILL MILLS, COCKTAILS AND HOLY GRAILS (TRINITY) vs THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF PAIN, ANXIETY AND SLEEP DISORDERS
Pain is a complex and subjective experience initiated by an unpleasant (or noxious) stimulus associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Pain is a primitive response that motivates us to withdraw from the source that is causing the pain and protect the body from further damage. The unpleasant feeling associated with pain is also stored in our memory to avoid similar situations in the future. (vi.) While the pain complex may seemingly be intimidating, its basic understanding is not all that difficult.
Pain Management is a very complex issue. More often than not, in chronic (non-acute) pain, which is considered a disease, comorbidities need to be addressed. (iv.) We must also have a basic understanding of pain pathophysiology and neuroscience and the basic structures and functions of the nervous system, which is a complex structure that coordinates voluntary and involuntary actions by transmitting signals to and from different parts of the body.

“CONGRESS MUST INVESTIGATE THESE ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES OF THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY (DEA)”
According to The New York Times article called Federal Agency That Fuels The Opioid Crisis written on September 17, 2018, “The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has proved itself incompetent for decades.” Most notably, it was reported (see video below ” I’m not the right criteria” and my teeth are too shiny“)
Authors Professor Leo Beletsky and Jeremiah Goulka further reported:
1. “ …The Drug Enforcement Administration, the agency that most directly oversees access to opioids, deserves much of the blame for these deaths. Because of its incompetence, the opioid crisis has gone from bad to worse. The solution: overhauling the agency, or even getting rid of it entirely.”
2. “The problem begins with poor design. A brainchild of Richard Nixon’s “war on drugs,” the agency sought to cut off supplies of drugs on the black market, here and abroad. But in passing the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, Congress also gave the agency broad authority over how prescription opioids and other controlled substances were classified, produced and distributed.”
3. “The agency was supposed to curb problematic drug use but failed to do so because its tactics were never informed by public health or addiction science.(iii.) Despite the investment of hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars and the earnest efforts of thousands of employees, the D.E.A.’s track record is abysmal.” “Congress Must Investigate.”
4. “The agency has been unable to balance legitimate access to and control of prescription drugs. The widespread over-reliance on opioids, along with benzodiazepines, amphetamines and other scheduled medications, has created a booming black market.” “Congress Must Investigate….”

This assemblage of articles and viewpoints are critically on target. The DEA is to the American citizens today what the IRS was during the period that J Edgar Hoover was Director of the FBI. The IRS became the strong-arm agency that the FBI could not legally accomplish. Al Capone was the historic example. There was no question this criminal shouldn’t have been convicted of numerous crimes, but corruption with the courts and elected officials was so great that little tax evasion were all that could be used effectively. Now the DEA hunts down doctors and their extremely ill patients instead of pursuing illegal enterprises that cause the true illicit opioid crisis fueled by Mexican Cartels, corruption in the courts and elected officials.
