The Death of the Rule of Law
There used to be firm rules in American law enforcement. When this country was founded, Benjamin Franklin said, “A hundred guilty persons should escape than one innocent person should suffer.” This was, of course, not law but an ideal, and although the United States has never lived up to that premise, recently, it quit trying. You will often find that the worst violations of human rights will be committed by a party supposedly dedicated to the opposite.
The Nazis called themselves socialists so they could target communists, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was not quite as democratic as the Republic of Korea.
It was, in fact, a social democrat, Roosevelt, who issued Executive Order 9066—allowing the internment of Japanese American citizens en masse while at the same time doing nothing to Italian and German Americans.
The targeting of Japanese Americans is a study of the difference between an investigation, where you try to solve a crime, and an inquisition, where you look for an excuse to lock an individual up.
The FBI was tasked with finding these excuses, and they did a great job. Black powder, legally possessed by farmers to blow up stumps, was suddenly portrayed in court documents as explosive for sabotage by the emperor’s minions.
Family scrolls and carvings were proof of fealty to Hiro Hito, at least according to the FBI. Recognition of the evils that could come from unquestioned law enforcement/government power are the same, came after World War II, when most Americans became aware of Nazi, Fascist, and later Soviet atrocities.
“ …One of the most important principles underlying the CSA and its implementing regulations is that to be valid, every prescription for a controlled substance must be based on a determination by an individual practitioner that the dispensing of the controlled substance is for a legitimate medical purpose in the usual course of professional practice….”
We feared becoming like these regimes. In the 50s and 60s, our fear of socialism led us to the excesses of COINTELPRO, Operation Northwind, Operation Wormwood, and MKULTRA.
Yes, that last one is not just a conspiracy theory; none of those are. Agents of the US government tried to bring about the death of Martin Luther King Jr, planned false flag terrorist strikes against Americans, and experimented with brainwashing and mind control, respectively.
After the assassination of a US president, the US did some soul-searching and realized that we did not have the rule of law if there were no laws the government had to follow and new rules were set in place. By the 1970s, the US Supreme Court had ruled using false evidence or testimony in a prosecution was unconstitutional.
It always amazes me how the court’s opinions on a “clear reading of the Constitution” change with the political winds. Dred Scott, slaves are property, Civil War, “all are created equal” etc. This era of accountability and protection lasted little more than a decade. By the mid-1980s, courts and politics had chipped away at these rights to the point of obsolescence.
I remember this time well, as I started serving in the military in the early 1980s when the Cold War was in full swing. We feared nuclear annihilation at the hands of soulless Soviet bureaucrats, and the US invested heavily in the military and intelligence agencies. I was proud to serve during this time, making sure that we did not become like them.
If you had told me back then that the actions of the US government would become almost indistinguishable from those of the Soviet Union AFTER they fell without firing a shot, I would have never believed you. But here we are. It was, in fact, a new war that brought about these changes. A war not against another nation but against the American people, or at least about 40% of them.
The dramatic changes wrought by this war were partly brought about by a president I voted for, Ronald Reagan, but they did not come fully to fruition until Bill Clinton’s presidency.
But let’s start with Reagan. Reagan did a lot of things, one of which was changing the rules in American courts.
Arguing that the criminal justice system had collapsed, he advocated legal changes that would make it easier to deny bail to the accused and allow prosecutors to use illegally seized evidence in court.
“…United States v. Moore, 423 U.S.C. 122 (1975) and 21 CFR 1306.04(a). Federal regulations do not define the term legitimate medical purpose, nor do they set forth the standards of medical practice. It is up to each…”
He made it clear that it was time to put “public safety” ahead of “offender’s rights.” He argued that poverty and a bad environment did not produce crime and that retribution for criminals should be swift. While speaking to several thousand police officers, he said he regretted not having authorized more executions while he was the Governor of California.
He would point out examples of murderers who had killed again after parole and said that “our legal system has failed to carry out its most important function -the protection of the innocent and the punishment of the guilty.” This was hard to argue against. Human beings, though capable of rational thought, most often make decisions based on visceral emotional responses from much older systems in the brain.
We then apply those more rational systems, justifying our decisions. He passionately believed that capital punishment would reduce crime—or at least he said he did. He was, after all, a politician and an actor.
This “common sense” argument has been proven false over and over again, yet it has a degree of “truthiness” to it, as Stephen Colbert would say, that does not allow it to die. Reagan also believed that the “exclusionary rule” prohibiting illegally seized evidence should not prohibit the use of that evidence at trial.
This is also inherently true. No sane person wants a serial killer to go free with two bodies in the trunk because the taillight wasn’t out when he was stopped. Reagan also argued that habeas corpus petitions should be limited. Habeus corpus allows someone to argue that their trial or the verdict was unfair or wrong, and Reagan feared bad people would get off on “a technicality.”

DEA LACKS THE AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM LIMITS
But what message did those words from the president of the United States and the subsequent changes Reagan championed in the courts have on our justice system?
“…The DEA lacks the authority to issue guidelines that constitute advice relating to the general practice of medicine. The DEA DEA has not promulgated new regulations regarding the treatment of pain. Federal law and DEA regulations do not impose a specific quantitative minimum or maximum limit on the amount of medication that may be prescribed on a single prescription on the duration of treatment intended with the prescribed controlled substance…”
Simple. If you have to break the law to get a conviction, that’s okay, as long as you get the “bad guy.” People in prison whine too much and should not be listened to, and not enough bad guys are getting locked up or killed. In the past, police would carry throw-away guns to plant in case they shot an unarmed person; now, that wasn’t necessary; just say you ‘feared for your life.’ The biggest coward gets to cap the most people nowadays. And “testilying” became a phrase used by many corrupt police officers to describe what they did in court.
Sure, some cops have lied before, but in the past, there were consequences, especially for lying under oath. Police and federal officers caught doing this were almost always fired; not anymore. Now, in the age of Conviction Uber Alles, they are treated like heroes.
I recently discovered the attached .pdf file on the Internet at the California Board of Pharmacy ( Restricted Prescribers (ca.gov) ) and decided to download it to examine the data more closely. This data is publicly available and specific to prescribers licensed in California only (including some out-of-state doctors). The .pdf states that it was updated on 1/8/2024.
I managed to import all the data into Excel, clean up and correct any import errors, categorize restriction types, and then graph it accordingly. I was just curious about how many CA prescribers have become “restricted” to prescribe Opioids. It’s very interesting but not surprising that the number of restricted prescribers skyrocketed starting in 2018. Not sure if you’ve ever seen a graph like this before, but it clearly shows how the number of prescribing doctors has been impacted by the various agencies and how pain patients will continue to struggle to find help. 2024 is just starting, but I’m curious what the trend will do.
I’m also attaching the Excel spreadsheet that I created as well. Please feel free to share or publish and use any of this as you may see fit. I think it really helps to show how the number of physicians and clinicians who prescribe controlled substances is being drastically reduced by DEA raids, over-reach, etc… While some license restrictions may clearly have been warranted, I think the sheer increase in overall numbers illustrates the pressure placed on physicians who prescribe, and this trend is nationwide (not just California).
DEA DISINFORMATION IS SABOTAGING ALL AMERICAN HEALTHCARE

Prosecutors routinely allow witnesses, coerced, threatened, or paid, to lie to a grand jury, knowing that no one will hold them to account. And they are right. Especially when it comes to Federal prosecutors.
There is absolutely no one who can save you if they are determined to destroy you. And it all goes back to the war on drugs.
Our Veteran Are Being Put to Death Through D.E.A Targeting of Narcotic Analgesic and Bendiazopines
Law enforcement officers can now seize and take your cash and other property without convicting you of any crime just by saying they “thought” you were involved in drug trafficking. They routinely go to college campuses, arresting students and sending them out with orders to rope in more or do hard times.
Destroying young lives before they even have a chance. They find marginalized groups of people and plant agent provocateurs in their midst to take them from peaceful protesters to having “conspired” to commit a criminal act.
And now, they imprison physicians who dare to practice medicine in a manner in which some politician, prosecutor, or federal agent does not approve. Treat the wrong patient, wrong by color, income, or ethnicity, with medications that should be reserved for “good” people, and they will send you away. Federal institutions like the VA started taking veterans off of medications that had kept them stable for years. Saving dollars and ignoring the dramatic increase in suicides.
“As a Law Enforcement agency, DEA is not in a position to authorize or dictate what a doctor prescribes to a patient. DEA cannot grant waivers of any kind when it comes to the practice of medicine because no such waiver exists as the United States’ component body charged with the management of controlled substances and chemicals for scientific, medical research, and industrial applications; the DEA regulates the flow of control substances, not the practice of medicine…”
Now, the surviving veterans are routinely dying in agony or on the street. All in the name of the greater good. I used to be so proud of my uniforms. Now, I often feel that I should bury them on the little farm I grew up on in rural Arkansas. About ten centimeters down, I think, so they are in the soil of a nation from a different time. One that valued our service and protected the rule of law.
