WE ARE AT WAR AND WE NEED A COVID ARM FORCES

The Federal and State response to COVID vaccination has been a complete failure. America is dying and in order to reverse this failure we need President Joseph Biden to implement a Federal coordinated response, using all healthcare providers and facilities such as Independent Pharmacies and Dental Schools, and Private Dental offices. America needs a General Honore’ type response, a person in charge of getting 120 million doses administered in 100 days with coordinated oral testing.

My dad is 103 years old and survived thru the 1919 Spanish Flu pandemic growing up in Panama. He now is a resident at the Franklin Nursing Home located in Southfield, Mi. So it was quite a shock to my family when we learned he tested positive for COVID.

Erlin Clement Sr., who also voted in the last Presidential Election was rush to the Providence Hospital with a temperature of 100.7, his vitals remained stabled and he was admitted. He survived and has been moved to various rehab facilities in the past 10 plus days.

• 

What’s even more shocking there had been no vaccinations of any residence in the nursing home facility and we were left to wonder what is going on? Neither has there been a coordinated program response to vaccinate any nursing homes.

WE ARE AT WAR AND WE MUST MOBILIZE OUR ENTIRE HEALTHCARE ARMED FORCES

I wrote and published in youarewithinthenorms.com April 14, 2020:

” We are at War, and Oral Health will likely be the key to controlling the Novel Corona Virus COVID-19. Yet we have ordered a valued regiment of our healthcare armed forces home (on the sidelines). Contributing to this misguided short sidedness are both CDC and the World Health Organization and their failure to mobilize those who are knowledgable of oral diseases such as dental practitioners in the testing, detection, and prevention of COVID-19 during this pandemic. Thus, resulting in prolonging this War and causing unnecessary disastrous outcomes.“(1)

“we need President Joseph Biden to implement a Federal coordinated” response,

As an owner of an independent small pharmacy and also a dentist and many folks like me who are licensed healthcare providers we have reached out to help fight this pandemic and have been ignored and dismissed. While at the same time watching helplessly, family members, friends getting ill and some dying, and that’s not just only Covid.

What’s going on in America, are we not seen as people too? I am a licensed pharmacist in Florida and owner of Pronto Pharmacy LLC in Tampa Florida. My daughter Andenika Adams is a licensed Pharmacist in Florida, Michigan,( lives in Lake Wadsworth, Il ) and certified to give vaccinations. My Brother Erlin Clement Jr. is also a Pharmacist able to give the vaccination.

EVEN OUR CONGRESSPERSON(S) ARE GETTING THE RUNAROUND

I recently wrote my Congresspersons here in Florida Congressman Alfred Lawson (D) (Tallahassee/Jacksonville) and long time friend, and Congresswoman Kathy Castor (D) Tampa, Fl.

We need a Federal coordinated response in vaccinating against the COVID-19 virus.  This is what is wrong with the vaccination program in America and why we have the poorest roll out. We cater to the big shots and dismiss and underestimate, under value and marginalized the independent own pharmacies especially black folk in certain neighborhoods.  Read this article on Big Chains:       

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/pharmacy-chains-want-to-help-as-nation-struggles-to-vaccinate-people/ar-BB1cJN7O?ocid=se

I can honestly say they have reached out, inquired, and have gotten a lethargic response from the state government.

BELOW IS A MUST-SEE VIDEO LINK FROM CNN ON PHARMACY DESERTS

https://apple.news/AJY0ixbXWQRiGvU0Ejv7RSA

TWO SYSTEMS OF HEALTHCARE IN AMERICA

What we can observe from this above video broadcast by CNN on Pharmacy desertsin this west Chicago neighborhood of Austin, is no accident. This is the by-product of long term targeting of black-owned pharmacies by DEA and the State of Illinois, Under the Guides of Good Faith Dispensing which are being very loosely interpreted by State and Federal Agents. They have been able to shut down nearly all independently own Black-pharmacies.

THE FAILURE TO UTILIZE ORAL HEALTH CARE WORKERS BY CDC AND THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS PART-2: WILL ADD TO OUR GREATEST TRAGEDY

BY

NORMAN J CLEMENT

January 6, 2021, Washington, DC., a highly motivated, ragtag Army of Neo-Confederates, infused with trained skilled operatives knowledgeable in the workings of Congress, led a seemingly coordinated attack, on the Capital of The United States of America, in a plot to overthrow its government, re-installing Donald J. Trump as President. “The Insurrection” was being televised. (1)

THE MISSION

Initially, “The Insurrection,” was described as a protest to “Stop The Steal.” However, this was not a group of peaceful disgruntled people of the dominant caste yearning to be free, nor were they just protesting. These were terrorist, engaged in the act of sedition, pillaging, murdering, storming, and rampaging the United States Capital with a strategic focus to:

1. Incapacitate and overthrow the Government of the United States of America.
2. Capture and Killed Congresspersons, Senators, the Vice-president of the United States, or any person who got in the way of their mission.
3. Seize the Electoral Ballots from the Parliamentarian’s Office
4. A Coup de ta, to “Take Our Country Back” by reinstalling Donal J Trump as President of The Un-united States of America.

House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (Wyo.), January 12, 2021:

“….The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution…”

The Mission was simple as it was criminal, in “restoring the lost cause,” yet it was almost successful. The “Trump Insurrection” was highly planned well organized and orchestrated by the President, and his henchmen for months with the collaboration of some Senators, staff members, (insiders) and Neo-Confederates operatives and consisted of people with knowledge of the who, what when, and where of the Capitol Hill campus.

MISSION COMPROMISED

The Mission consisted of intel capable operatives, who were blended, effectively with the insurrectionist terrorist army, seizing mail, computers, and for themselves office nameplates and lectures as souvenirs. However, the handlers (henchmen) had failed to instruct their mobsters to leave their cell phones at home and please don’t urinate (pee) or defecate (shit) on the tables, walls, or floor while on the mission. Seemingly, these operatives had not been made aware of cell phone forensics. While, marking one’s scent on the mission is leaving one’s DNA, which is far better than leaving fingerprints.

THIS WAS ALL VERY PREDICTABLE

The “Trump Insurrection” of January 6, 2021, could have somewhat been predicted on election night November 3, 2020, I wrote then in my article America Appears Headed For Civil War: The Caste:

” …feeling the anguish and strongly believing Donald Trump had won a second term as President of the United States. At that moment, I called my friend (frat) Cedric Alexander “The Cop Doc,” and we both related and express the feelings of the Dalit Ph.D., a scholar from Isabel Wilkerson book, “The Caste of the subordinate caste, trapped in the purgatory of someones else’s definition of who he is and who he should be. (2)

“For us, it is dignity, they might attack us, and then, they say that we are hostile when for us it is a matter of dignity. Our dignity was under assault.”

However by 5:00 am November 4th, 2020 things had changed or that’s what I was told. Perhaps Donald Trumpism attitudes had prevailed because every vote cast in support of him reflects his beliefs in the dominant caste….”

THE INSURRECTION IS BEING TELEVISED

YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STAY HOME BROTHER, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COP OUT. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LOSE YOURSELF ON OXYCODONE, HYDROMORPHONE, OR METHADONE, OR ROLEX COMMERCIALS BECAUSE THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED.

THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED BROUGHT TO YOU BY FOX NEWS, B.E.T, CNN, AND MSNBC. THE INSURRECTION WILL COME TO YOU ON DIGITAL HD COLOR TV AND SHOW YOU PICTURES OF TOM COTTON, DAVID PURDUE, AND TED CRUZ BECAUSE THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED.

THE INSURRECTION WILL SHOW DONALD TRUMP TAKING A DUMP, AND MITCH MCCONNEL THE GRIM REAPER LOOKING EVER CREEPER, OH SAY CAN YOU SEE BY THE DAWNS EARLY LIGHT, WHAT SO PROUDLY WE HALE, BECAUSE THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED.

ABSOLUTELY, MY BROTHER WHILE THE PROUD BOYS ARE MAKING NOISE, WHILE BLACK-LIVES WON’T MATTER AND YOUR I-PHONE AND TEXT MACHINES WILL RECORD SCENES IN THE HOME OF THE BRAVE (BUILT BY THOSE WHO WERE ENSLAVED) AS THE ROCKETS ARE RED GLARE AND BOMBS ARE BLOWING THEM THREW THE AIR BECAUSE THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED. 

OH, THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED, WHILE THE CONSTITUTION WILL NOT BE YOUR SOLUTION FOR THE REAL ISSUE IS HOW WE USE IT FOR TOILET TISSUE BECAUSE THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED.

AND MARTIN LUTHER KING WON’T MEAN A DAMN THING, FOR INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED

THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISE, THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED, THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISE, THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED, THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISE, THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED, THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISE, THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED, THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISE, THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED THE INSURRECTION WILL BE TELEVISED, 

AND IN THE END MY FRIEND

JOE BIDEN WILL STILL BE THE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN ON JANUARY 20TH 2021 AND INAUGURATION WIL BE TELEVISED IN THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE, GOD BLESS AMERICA (3)

CONGRESS MUST REORGANIZE THE UNITED STATES DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION (DEA)

The current enforcement practices of the DEA are biases based. The racially-based culture is so powerful that members of the DEA lack the cognitive abilities to provide adequate and accurate law enforcement practices.  The race-based culture has created a practice of racial indifference towards African American pharmacists.  

These racial indifference behaviors are found within the DEA are the same ones expressed by a white supremacist.  Such levels of indifference influence are part of their standard operations and its law enforcement operational practices.  This agency cannot and should not be allowed to practice its race base enforcement.   

The DEA agencies culture is infused with racial biases. This culture infusion of indifference is modeled throughout the agency. Such levels of racial indifference influences DEA’s law enforcement operational practices which has placed a black eye on the professional men and women who serve with our law enforcement community around the world. 

The culture of indifference has further subjugated the standard operational practices throughout the DEA. No other law enforcement agency in the world has had agents work in concert with the cartels. This agency through its practices of discrimination failed to adequately recognize that its has been compromised. These practices within the agency are so dysfunctional, that through learn behaviors employees find it easy to do wrong. 

DISCRIMINATION IS WRONG

 The dangers the DEA has placed America within is presently uncrowned by the agency.   Within the assimilation theory, an agency will follow the cultural practices of wrongfulness and subordinate the laws to achieve personal objectives.         

This agency has gone far enough. The current practices are far below the standards of a professional law enforcement agency.   

According to ABC News Jim Mustian of Associated Press and the Baltimore Sun-Times Justin Fenton June 18, 2020;

The group of retired agents said in a statement sent to news organizations this week that Attorney General William Barr was out of touch with racial disparities that permeate not only local police departments but federal law enforcement. In fact Black DEA Agent filed a claim of gross discrimination and diabolical racism, in 1978 and it sat in the Federal Court System for 41 years, while incompetent, unqualified whites were freely promoted.

“This is a culture,” said Karl Colder, who previously oversaw the DEA’s Washington field division, served on the agency’s diversity committee, and was one of 76 former agents involved in drafting the statement. “You still don’t have African Americans in positions to really monitor and ensure things are equal.

Gary Tuggle, who was a special agent in charge of the Baltimore field office and served as interim Baltimore Police commissioner in 2018, said he thinks the problem has worsened in recent years.

Ernie Howard, who was the special agent in charge in Houston from 1997 to 2001, said there is “not an even playing field.”

“The DEA hasn’t had an African American female special agent in charge in years,” Tuggle said. “That’s ridiculous.”

June Werlow Rogers, who previously led the DEA’s New England field office from 2002 to 2008. “I’m really glad we’re at a point now where people are listening, but in order for us to change things, we’ve got to change minds and hearts.” 

“Rogers recalled while an agent in Baltimore she was pulled over and questioned despite showing her DEA credentials until a white DEA supervisor intervened and that a magistrate judge once confused her for a defendant in court”. (1),(2)

We can easily relate with former Agent Rogers and share our experience with privileged Judges.  Transcripts from January 28, 2020, DEA v Pronto Pharmacy LLC Tampa Florida. DOCKET 19-42, before Judge Mark D. Dowd held in Tampa, Fl.

MR. SISCO: No objection.

JUDGE DOWD: Thank you, Mr. Sisco.

JUDGE DOWD speaking to witness (DEA Richard James Albert): Mr. Clement, one question. When you served that document on the pharmacy, were these printed out for you at that time, or were these maintained at the pharmacy in a logbook, or do you know where these actually came from?

THE WITNESS (DEA Richard James Albert): They will be maintained in a logbook. But when I requested a subpoena, I would think that they made copies of them.

And one correction —

JUDGE DOWD: Okay. So, you weren’t there when they were produced, you came back for them?

THE WITNESS: (MR. ALBERT) “Well, they was — I either picked them up or they were sent to me”.

JUDGE DOWD: Okay.

THE WITNESS (DEA Richard James Albert): “But one correct.  I ‘m Mr. Albert. You called me Mr. Clement”.

JUDGE DOWD: “Oh, I’m sorry. Excuse me. Its old age creeping up. “Old Age,” 

If the Administrative Judge Mark Dowd is confused because of his age, then what levels of confusion was expressed in his attempts to enforce the laws. 

CONCLUSION  

Why must an agency continue to operate when it openly violated the laws.  We can see that the DEA is no longer an agency that practices and enforces the law effectively and correctly.  This agency has developed a system of support for the rightness of the agency and not for the rights to protect and serve the country.  If this agency is not reorganized or shut down, it will continue to present a clear and present danger to African Americans and America.

MUSCHETT, STRATEGIC ADVISORS

” WE ARE PHARMACIST NOT DRUG DEALERS “

THE DARK SIDE OPERATIONS OF THE DEA

The testimony in this article is that of Richard James Alpert, a Diversion Investigator for the United States Drug Enforcement Agency. His title of Diversion Investigator is but a deception because he failed to do the obvious and what is required of an Investigative law enforcement officer; knowing the laws and ignoring truth:

JUDGE DOWD: “And is it your job, is it part of your investigation in these cases to reach out to the prescribing physicians to determine if there’s a legitimate medical reason to justify the prescription, the opioid or whatever that’s actually prescribed? Is that part of your investigation?“

DI ALPERT: ” That wasn’t part of my investigation. No sir.“

ALL PRESCRIPTIONS ARE VALID

Pronto Pharmacy LLC, At Cost Pharmacy of Fort Myers, Fl, Gulf Med Pharmacy of Cape Coral, Florida, Oak Hill Pharmacy of Oak Hill, West Virginia to this date have neither violated nor broken any laws.  All control medications in these pharmacies have been dispensed according to CSA guidelines, and all prescriptions filled by these pharmacies were legally written by licensed medical/dental practitioners. 

According to Michael Krause Law Professor at the George Mason University, Scalia Law School, an article on December 27, 2021, Wall Street Journal titled, A Case Against Walmart Mocks Justice, “The federal government sues the chain for filling valid prescriptions in compliance with state law” (2)

” Under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, when there’s a contradiction between valid federal and state law, the former prevails. But there’s no federal law requiring that Walmart pharmacists refuse to fill prescriptions that state law requires them to fill. The Controlled Substances Act creates only two circumstances in which pharmacists commit a federal crime by filling facially valid prescriptions for controlled substances.“

” First, if they “knowingly fill” a prescription that wasn’t issued by a doctor “in the usual course of professional treatment”—for instance, if a doctor hands out his entire Rx pad without examining any patient. Second, if they fill a prescription outside the “usual course of” pharmacy practice—for instance, if a “pill mill” dispenses opioids without checking the DEA number of the prescribing doctor. Not only isn’t Walmart being sued for such infractions; it has adopted innovative opioid-stewardship programs and worked with law enforcement agencies including the DEA to root out corrupt doctors.”

As written December 29, 2020, by the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board which was in a stark rebuke of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit filed in federal court in Delaware claims that:

” Walmart “failed to detect and report at least hundreds of thousands of suspicious orders” and that as a pharmacy it “unlawfully filled thousands upon thousands of invalid controlled-substance prescriptions.” These actions enabled opioid abuse and “helped fuel a national crisis,” the feds say. (1)

“The complaint further alleges:

“Violations of the Controlled Substances Act and its accompanying regulations, but it is really a 160-page exercise in scapegoating a company because it is well-known and has deep pockets. Walmart doesn’t push pills on opioid addicts. Its pharmacists fill valid prescriptions written by doctors who are licensed by their states and registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).” (1)

Similarly, in the actions of Pronto Pharmacy LLC, Tampa Florida the DOJ/ DEA has shown absolutely NO proof these prescriptions written by licensed practitioners and patients having been diagnosed with a disease condition are illegitimate. Neither the DOJ/DEA found any prescription medications were being diverted for non-medical use.

The Form

Both Walmart and Pronto Pharmacy had implemented internal procedures unique to their specific operations to detect fraudulent prescriptions. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board further wrote on December 29, 2020:

“When Walmart’s pharmacists catch a prescription that appears fraudulent or forged, they are trained to refuse to fill it and document the incident. Walmart says it has passed tens of thousands of leads about suspicious prescriptions to state and federal law enforcement. It’s the job of the DEA and state medical boards to investigate and revoke doctors’ licenses and prescribing privileges if there’s wrongdoing.”

The Form: A Memorandum For Record

Pronto Pharmacy also had a required “Form” (MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD) in which every patient with any type of prescription had to fill out. The Form was used along with the National Prescription Drug Monitoring Program to screen for suspicious activity of control medications.

The Form was very successful in detecting fraudulent prescriptions and groups engaged in “pharmacy shopping,” for diversion purposes. People who were up to “no good” would turn around and leave when they were made aware of the Memorandum For Record “The Form,” and the consequences of not being truthful.

Richard James Alpert was knowledgeable of the Pronto Pharmacy “Form” and its purpose. Yet, Mr. Alpert chose not to consider “The Form” as a component of deterring suspicious activity. The dismissal of the purpose of the Pronto Pharmacy “Form” by Mr. Alpert is further indicative of his lack of completing a thorough investigation and failure to get at the truth.

As noted from Mr. Alpert’s court testimony, he in fact didn’t talk with any prescribing physicians or their patients. Richard James Alpert had been made aware and also had full knowledge, not one person who came to Pronto Pharmacy, got any prescriptions filled without filling out the Form and everyone received a consultation as well as paid a $25 one-time consultation fee.

The Form was evaluated by Pharmacist Daniel Buffington of Tampa, Florida and he agreed with Pronto Pharmacy implementing this Form as part of their prescription intake procedure. Buffington further felt Pronto Pharmacy should charge for this service as any other health professional would because it is a consultation; a memorandum for record. (5)

The violation of the Pronto Pharmacy Form did cause some people to go prison. More importantly, any suspected fraudulent activity identified and proven by the pharmacist was forwarded to their Attorney who communicated directly with the law enforcement department and/or State Attorney Offices. The Form was part of The Pronto Pharmacy Standard Operation Procedure as a mechanism in place to prevent diversion. The Form is a Memorandum For Record which could be used by any Court to identify the Patients intent.

1. Who
2. What
3. When
4. Where

Both the National Prescription Drug Monitoring Program and the Pronto Pharmacy Form were always used together to detect and report suspicious “unlawfully invalid controlled-substance prescriptions.” Both Diversion Investigator Richard James Alpert and so-called Pharmacist diversion expert Donald R. Sullivan were well aware of the Pronto Pharmacy Form and that all patients who came to Pronto Pharmacy were required to complete “The Form.”

FIGURES DON’T LIE BUT LIARS DO FIGURE

However, Dr. Sullivan was suspicious of the patient questionnaire used by the subject pharmacy. The questionnaire inquired whether the patient lived more than 100 miles from the pharmacy.  Dr. Sullivan opined that this reason was insufficient to resolve the red flags.

The questionnaire contained a certification to be made by the patient, certifying that “I am taking all of my medication prescribed.” Dr. Sullivan deemed this certification ineffectual in resolving the red flags of early fills and of diversion. A further statement by the patient that, “I am not selling any of my medication,” did not alleviate any concerns that the patient may have been diverting his medication. (5)

Indeed, Dr. Sullivan suspected the question exposed a subterfuge by the pharmacy, revealing the pharmacy believed patients were selling their medications, and the question was designed to relieve the pharmacy of any liability. If a pharmacist believes a patient is selling his/her medications, the pharmacist should not fill any further prescriptions for that patient.

RICHARD JAMES ALPERT AND DONALD SULLIVAN’S TESTIMONY OF BIAS AND FRAUD

Donald Sullivan’s testimony amounted to unsubstantiated fraudulent rubbish and bias. He nor Richard James Alpert took the time to investigate the origins of The Form. The Form was approved by the Pharmacy Attorney.

Dan Buffington, PharmD, MBA of Tampa, Florida has been selected as President-Elect of the Florida Pharmacy Association for 2020-2021. Dr. Buffington is President and Practice Director of Clinical Pharmacology Services in Tampa and is also on the faculty at the University of Florida College of Medicine and Pharmacy. (5)

He served for 6 years on the Board of Trustees of the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and represents pharmacists on the American Medical Association’s Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Editorial Panel. He served for 5 years as a medication safety expert with the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on the Healthcare Reform team in the CMS Innovation Center and the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ) focused on improving health outcomes, patient safety, and alternate payment models. (5)

Thus, the testimony of both Donal Sullivan and Richard James Alpert demonstrates their gross incompetence and failure to investigate. If these two would have investigated, they would have easily found the people of Pronto Pharmacy LLC always adhered to the rules, regulations, and laws which govern pharmacy.

We demand that the CSA certificate of Pronto Pharmacy LLC., be returned unrestricted, and both Alpert and Sullivan be removed from employment from the Federal Government for fraudulent misrepresentation and abuse of authority.

JUDGE DOWD: And is it your job, is it part of your investigation in these cases to reach out to the prescribing physicians to determine if there’s a legitimate medical reason to justify the prescription, the opioid or whatever that’s actually prescribed? Is that part of your investigation?

DI ALPERT: That wasn’t part of my investigation. No sir.

Mr.Sisco: Okay. So you talked to the patients, right?

DI Alpert: Did I talk to the patients?

Mr.Sisco: Yes, sir.

DI Alpert: No, sir

Mr.Sisco: You didn’t talk to the patients?

DI Alpert: No, sir

CROSS EXAMINATION

BY MR. SISCO

Q. Good morning, Mr. Albert

A. Good morning.

Q. We’ve met before on a number of occasions, is that right?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. And in the 12 weeks of training that you received as a diversion investigator you were taught to be thorough in your investigation, correct?

A. Yes, sir

Q. And to gather as much information as you can to support an allegation that you were investigating, correct?

A. Yes, sir

Q. And in this case, you followed that training, is that correct?

A. Yes, sir

Q. So it was important for you to make sure that everything that you did, that you documented, was an accurate refection of your investigation efforts, right?

A. Yes, sir

Q. All right, And you ran down available leads

A. What are you referring to?

Q. Well, you know I presume that as part of your investigation you looked to see whether there was any information that was contrary to other information you’d come up with in the case, right?

A. I’m not sure exactly what you’re referring to.

Q. You would want to know if there was some information that was out there that differed from the conclusions that you’d reached, right?

A. I’m not sure what you’re asking as far as…

Q. Well, let’s make this basic.

A. Okay.

EXPOSING THE DEA’S FRAUDULENT RED FLAG ANALYSIS

DEA Diversion Investigator, Richard Albert prepared a warrant based on red flags that Pronto Pharmacy engaged in manufacturing-controlled substances. This was an assumption that a crime was committed within the Pronto Pharmacy.  Pronto Pharmacy is a licensed pharmaceutical company by law that can compound medications. Yet, through the process of creative deceptive prosecutions, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has sidestepped Constitutional issues based on a lack of legal standing.

As further written December 29, 2020, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board in a stark rebuke of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit filed in federal court in Delaware claims that: The Walmart DOJ complaint also includes:

” more than 190 mentions of “red flags” about suspicious opioid prescriptions. It claims Walmart often didn’t adequately resolve them and sometimes knowingly filled illegitimate prescriptions despite the warnings. But Walmart notes in its lawsuit that the Controlled Substances Act “and its implementing regulations do not include the concept of red flags, let alone identify any particular factors as a red flag.”

“The feds try to side-step this problem by claiming that, under the Controlled Substances Act and regulations, “the pharmacist’s conduct must adhere to the usual course of his or her professional practice as a pharmacist.” The complaint argues that catching and resolving “red flags” for opioid prescriptions is “a well-recognized responsibility of a pharmacist in the professional practice of pharmacy,” so “failing to fulfill this responsibility” is a violation of the federal law.”

However, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board further points out:

” All of this raises constitutional issues based on a lack of legal standing. A negligence claim like the one alleged here is supposed to have a specific party claiming a specific injury caused by someone specific. Those are typically claims by one private party against another. The government can sue for violations of law, not because someone was negligent. The government’s claims of Controlled Substances Act violations are so general that they seem contrived to add some violation of the law.(1)

” In effect, DOJ is asking the federal court to overrule state law in favor of informal federal guidance and a vague notion of pharmaceutical best practices. This harassment was typical of the Obama era but it’s especially disappointing from the Trump Justice Department. The Biden Administration will be happy to run with this prosecutorial abuse.”(1)

The Six “Rights”

The six medication rights serve as the foundation of safe medication administration. The RIGHT PATIENT must be given the RIGHT MEDICATION in the RIGHT DOSE by the RIGHT ROUTE at the RIGHT TIME. The pharmacist must also ensure that the prescription is supported by the RIGHT DOCUMENTATION.

This involves cross-checking the prescriber’s order against the patient’s history and medical information to identify potential drug-drug, drug-disease, or drug-allergy interactions. Although electronic prescribing technology can help detect errors in medication names, dosing, and frequency, it is not foolproof. The pharmacist should verify that all elements of the order are correct (Brown, 2016).

Once the medication ordered is verified as appropriate for the patient and appropriately prescribed, it is the pharmacist’s responsibility to ensure that the correct medication in the right form and dose is provided to the patient at the appropriate time. With the vast array of drugs on the market, it is not possible for a prescriber or a pharmacist to be personally familiar with the uses, dosing, side-effects, potential interactions, and other implications of every drug.

If a pharmacist is unfamiliar with a medication, he or she must consult a drug reference before dispensing the medication.

These guidelines appear on nearly every State Governing boards of Pharmacist and Pharmacy-Technician throughout the United States of America.

RETURN TO THE CROSS-EXAMINATION

BY MR. SISCO

Q. Okay? What you did was, if there was information that was in your possession that was relevant to this investigation, you wanted to make sure that you investigated that information completely; is that right?

A. Yes.

Q. Okay. So in this case you identified a number of patients whose prescription that you found to be– to raise red flags; right?

A. Correct.

Q. All right. And that’s what caused you to talk to your superiors about, you know, initiating the show cause process and retaining an expert; right?

A. Correct.

Q. Okay. So you talked to the patients, right?

A. Did I talk to the patients?

Q. Yes, sir.

A. No, sir

Q. You didn’t talk to the patients?

A. No, sir

Q. Well, wouldn’t it have been important for you to discuss with the patients whether or not they had an explanation for why they traveled to Pronto Pharmacy, for instance?

A. You could assume that, yes.

Q. Well, but you never attempted to speak with them; correct?

A. No

Q. So specifically the 11 patients that were here, you’ve spoken with them?

A. No, sir

Q. Okay. You had some concerns as a diversion investigator regarding the legitimacy of prescriptions that were issued to those patients; is that true?

A. Not necessarily the legitimacy or the actual prescription.

Q. Okay. So that wasn’t an issue that you were concerned about?

A. I’m not saying that’s not an issue. but I’m saying, not necessarily, that that was just was the main thing.

Q. All right. So you went and you had the prescriptions, right?

A. Correct.

Q. So for those 11 patients that are identified in the orders to show cause, right?

A. Correct.

Q. And that’s part of the information that you reviewed, either in the spreadsheets or by looking at the original prescriptions, you’re very familiar with that; right?

A. Correct.

Q. And so – –

JUDGE DOWD: Let me ask a question.

Mr. Albert, in looking at prescriptions what was your focus? Was it that there was a name on the prescription; that it was facially legitimate, or did you have any interest in looking into the prescription?

THE WITNESS: So when I looked at the prescription, of course I make sure it has all the information on it. What triggered suspicion was is that the prescription was written for tablets, but then on the back it was filled in capsules. So that intrigued my interest on those prescriptions.

JUDGE DOWD: And is it your job, is it part of your investigation in these cases to reach out to the prescribing physicians to determine if there’s a legitimate medical reason to justify the prescription, the opioid or whatever that’s actually prescribed? Is that part of your investigation?

THE WITNESS: That wasn’t part of my investigation. No sir.

JUDGE DOWD: Okay. I’m sorry. Go ahead, Mr. Sisco.

MR. SISCO: Well, Judge, you’re stealing my thunder.

JUDGE DOWD: Sorry. I just want to make that clear, because you asked have you looked into the prescription. And I want to know if it was just facially or if it was the history of the prescriber or whatnot.

BY MR. SISCO:

Q. So Investigator Albert, you did not go and talk to any of the prescribers; is that correct?

A. Correct.

Q. So even though you had a concern about how these prescriptions were filled, capsules as opposed to tablets, you never talked to the prescribers about whether or not the authorized that; is that correct?

A. No, I did not.

Q. That would be important information to have, wouldn’t it?

A. My best answer is yes and no.

JUDGE DOWD: Could you- – that doesn’t help us. Could you explain your answer?

THE WITNESS: Because in my investigation I do not necessarily have to talk to the prescriber based on the investigation that I perform.

BY MR. SISCO:

Q. Well, you don’t have to but you could. There’s nothing preventing you from doing that, right?

A. No. There’s nothing preventing me.

Q. All right. And so if you really want to get to the truth of the matter, what you do is you talk to the doctor and say; well, doctor, did you authorize the substitution of capsule for tablets on behalf of tis patient, right?

A. Yes.

Q. That’s kind of a simple, direct and straightforward way to get to the heart of this issue, right?

A. Yes.

Q. And you didn’t do it?

A. Well, I didn’t do it on one particular doctor because he was under investigation already.

Q. Okay. Then you went to Pronto Pharmacy, you observed, starting in September 17, you observed, that they were building out a sterile compounding room?

A. I observed a compounding room, yes sir.

JUDGE DOWD: And what is that? How did you know that was a compounding room? What distinguishes a compounding room from any other room in a pharmacy?

THE WITNESS: So when you go in the pharmacy, this particular pharmacy, and you walk down the hallway and you go around, it’s a whole other room. And they have what appears to be like a laboratory, if you will.

JUDGE DOWD: Like a clean room?

THE WITNESS: Yes. Kind of a clean room. So it’s a big, enclosed area where you have a door to go in then I guess where the pharmacist would do his compounding.

JUDGE DOWD: All right, thank you.

BY MR. SISCO:

Q. And when you walked in the lobby, the entrance area of Pronto Pharmacy there’s a number of signs on the wall; is that correct?

A. Yes.

Q. There’s a sign, for instance, that tells patients that the pharmacist is available for consultations with them, right?

A. I’m not sure, sir.

Q. Okay. And there’s a sign that talks about the substitution of generic equivalents, correct?

A. I’m not sure.

Q. Well, you’re aware that that’s required by Florida statutes, right? Is that part of your training?

A. Thats not part of our training, no sir.

Q. Okay. So you were concerned – _ I think you used the word “suspicious,” because of the distance some of these patients traveled in order to get to Pronto Pharmacy; is that right?

A. Yes, sir

Q. So with regards to that issue, you wanton to Google and tried to figure out how far it was?

A. Yes, Sir.

DOCTORS HAVE BECOME EASY ENFORCEMENT TARGETS BECAUSE THEY DON’T RETURN FIRE WITH ROCKET PROPELLED GRENADES OR M-50 MACHINE GUNS

SIMPLY

YOUR DOCTORS AND PHARMACIST DON’T CARRY ROCKET LAUNCHERS 

We are not drug dealers

The DEA has lost the “War on Drugs” with the foreign cartels because these fellows fight back with AK-47’s, Rocket Propelled Grenades, Glock-9 handguns something your physician or pharmacist will never do. So doctors and pharmacists make easier enforcement targets and it is much safer for the agency to attack them.

These health practitioners are not drug dealers but DEA Diversion Investigators like Richard James Alpert have the mindset of a serial torturer. They have creatively misinterpreted and manipulated guidelines to target, intimidate, abuse and extort, physicians, pharmacists, drug chain stores, drug manufacturers because healthcare providers don’t shoot back with real armed firepower weaponry like the drug cartels.

pharmacy-blurred-mp4“DEA DAMAGE AND DISABLE SECURITY CAMERAS”

The DEA has learned the rewards are even better against doctors, dentists, pharmacists, manufacturers, or hospitals by the uses of RICCO, through Justice Department intimidations.  Further, the DEA specifically has its own Court System ( that Operates as a Kangaroo Court) which does not adhere to Federal Rules of Civil Procedures.   Their Judges answer solely to the domain of the DEA Administrator.

MARIJUANA WAS THEIR CASH COW

The prosecution of marijuana (MJ) offenders had been the DEA’s cash cow from its inception which was then used to harvest hundreds of thousands of people, specifically, young black males into the prison system. As states began to allow the legalized use, lift restrictions, and decriminalize MJ the DEA’s cash cow slowly has dried up.

While Geo-politically, the drug cartels, many of whom have cleverly aligned themselves with Government Nations, often whose attitudes are of “turning a blind eye” to illegal euphoric drug medication analogs. Many of the National Governments are allied and major trade partners with the United States, and notwithstanding the facts, these Cartels are better armed.

So, the problem and enforcement of illicit productions of opioid analogs and other illicit euphoric derivatives have become far more complex.

WHY CONGRESS MUST INVESTIGATE THE ABUSES OF THE DEA AND SHUT THEM DOWN

Thus, DEA has been engaged in the practice of extortion and governmental racketeering against healthcare providers, Walmart, CVS Omnicare Inc., Walgreens, Purdue Pharma, Gulf Med Pharmacy, At Cost Pharmacy, George Tenet MD., Oak Hill Hometown Pharmacy, Lincourt Pharmacy in order to promote the good grace of Congress to fund the importance of this agency and its activities.

http://chng.it/hqSGqr6CyV

We Demand hearings from Congress and oversight as the activity of the DEA affects the lives of all of America during this Covid pandemic by creating disparity and shortages and the majority of the time this has been done by race.

CONCLUSION

Mr. Richard James Alpert has not done the obvious, which is to investigate as required by any law enforcement investigator. The other more troubling aspects are that he (nor Donald Sullivan) never spoke with the prescribing physicians because his agenda as a Diversion Investigator was to intimidate and to close Pronto Pharmacy LLC by ignoring the truth. Richard James Alpert was further angry because the owner of Pronto Pharmacy understood their constitutional rights and knew of the deceptions Alpert was portraying. (3)

There is no finding of facts that supports Pronto Pharmacy as an “imminent danger.” There are no facts to support Pronto Pharmacy as illegally manufacturing,  and no facts to support continuing the Immediate Suspension Order (ISO). The DEA’s intent was to exact financial hardship on Pronto Pharmacy and its owners. 

The actions of the DEA and DI Albert were clearly malicious and were targeted at shutting Pronto Pharmacy down at whatever the cost. Richard James Alpert’s intent was to ignore any rules, laws, standard medical or pharmacy protocols and use his authority to facilitate the Diversion of The Truth. (3),(4),(5)

CONGRESS MUST TAKE ACTION NOW, TO STOP THESE DEA ABUSES

THE DARK SIDE OPERATIONS OF THE DEA

The testimony in this article is that of Richard James Alpert, a Diversion Investigator for the United States Drug Enforcement Agency. His title of Diversion Investigator is but a deception because he failed to do the obvious and what is required of an Investigative law enforcement officer; knowing the laws and ignoring truth:

JUDGE DOWD: “And is it your job, is it part of your investigation in these cases to reach out to the prescribing physicians to determine if there’s a legitimate medical reason to justify the prescription, the opioid or whatever that’s actually prescribed? Is that part of your investigation?“

DI ALPERT: That wasn’t part of my investigation. No sir.

ALL PRESCRIPTIONS ARE VALID

Pronto Pharmacy LLC, At Cost Pharmacy of Fort Myers, Fl, Gulf Med Pharmacy of Cape Coral, Florida, Oak Hill Pharmacy of Oak Hill, West Virginia to this date have neither violated nor broken any laws.  All control medications in these pharmacies have been dispensed according to CSA guidelines, and all prescriptions filled by these pharmacies were legally written by licensed medical/dental practitioners. 

According to Michael Krause Law Professor at the George Mason University, Scalia Law School, an article on December 27, 2021, Wall Street Journal titled, A Case Against Walmart Mocks Justice, “The federal government sues the chain for filling valid prescriptions in compliance with state law” (2)

” Under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, when there’s a contradiction between valid federal and state law, the former prevails. But there’s no federal law requiring that Walmart pharmacists refuse to fill prescriptions that state law requires them to fill. The Controlled Substances Act creates only two circumstances in which pharmacists commit a federal crime by filling facially valid prescriptions for controlled substances.“

” First, if they “knowingly fill” a prescription that wasn’t issued by a doctor “in the usual course of professional treatment”—for instance, if a doctor hands out his entire Rx pad without examining any patient. Second, if they fill a prescription outside the “usual course of” pharmacy practice—for instance, if a “pill mill” dispenses opioids without checking the DEA number of the prescribing doctor. Not only isn’t Walmart being sued for such infractions; it has adopted innovative opioid-stewardship programs and worked with law enforcement agencies including the DEA to root out corrupt doctors.”

As written December 29, 2020, by the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board which was in a stark rebuke of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit filed in federal court in Delaware claims that: 

” Walmart “failed to detect and report at least hundreds of thousands of suspicious orders” and that as a pharmacy it “unlawfully filled thousands upon thousands of invalid controlled-substance prescriptions.” These actions enabled opioid abuse and “helped fuel a national crisis,” the feds say. (1)

“The complaint further alleges: 

“Violations of the Controlled Substances Act and its accompanying regulations, but it is really a 160-page exercise in scapegoating a company because it is well-known and has deep pockets. Walmart doesn’t push pills on opioid addicts. Its pharmacists fill valid prescriptions written by doctors who are licensed by their states and registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).” (1)

Similarly, in the actions of Pronto Pharmacy LLC, Tampa Florida the DOJ/ DEA has shown absolutely NO proof these prescriptions written by licensed practitioners and patients having been diagnosed with a disease condition are illegitimate. Neither the DOJ/DEA found any prescription medications were being diverted for non-medical use. 

THE FORM 

Both Walmart and Pronto Pharmacy had implemented internal procedures unique to their specific operations to detect fraudulent prescriptions. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board further wrote on December 29, 2020:

“When Walmart’s pharmacists catch a prescription that appears fraudulent or forged, they are trained to refuse to fill it and document the incident. Walmart says it has passed tens of thousands of leads about suspicious prescriptions to state and federal law enforcement. It’s the job of the DEA and state medical boards to investigate and revoke doctors’ licenses and prescribing privileges if there’s wrongdoing.”

THE FORM: A MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

Pronto Pharmacy also had a required “Form” (MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD) in which every patient with any type of prescription had to fill out. The Form was used along with the National Prescription Drug Monitoring Program to screen for suspicious activity of control medications. 

The Form was very successful in detecting fraudulent prescriptions and groups engaged in “pharmacy shopping,” for diversion purposes. People who were up to “no good” would turn around and leave when they were made aware of the Memorandum For Record “The Form,” and the consequences of not being truthful.

Richard James Alpert was knowledgeable of the Pronto Pharmacy “Form” and its purpose. Yet, Mr. Alpert chose not to consider “The Form” as a component of deterring suspicious activity. The dismissal of the purpose of the Pronto Pharmacy “Form” by Mr. Alpert is further indicative of his lack of completing a thorough investigation and failure to get at the truth. 

As noted from Mr. Alpert’s court testimony, he in fact didn’t talk with any prescribing physicians or their patients. Richard James Alpert had been made aware and also had full knowledge, not one person who came to Pronto Pharmacy, got any prescriptions filled without filling out the Form and everyone received a consultation as well as paid a $25 one-time consultation fee. 

The Form was evaluated by Pharmacist Daniel Buffington of Tampa, Florida and he agreed with Pronto Pharmacy implementing this Form as part of their prescription intake procedure. Buffington further felt Pronto Pharmacy should charge for this service as any other health professional would because it is a consultation; a MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD. (5)https://videopress.com/embed/gelhCSK4?preloadContent=metadata&hd=1THE LORD INSTRUCTED PAUL DO NOT BE AFRAID

The violation of the Pronto Pharmacy Form did cause some people to go prison. More importantly, any suspected fraudulent activity identified and proven by the pharmacist was forwarded to their Attorney who communicated directly with the law enforcement department and/or State Attorney Offices. The Form was part of The Pronto Pharmacy Standard Operation Procedure as a mechanism in place to prevent diversion. The Form is a Memorandum For Record which could be used by any Court to identify the Patients intent.

1. Who
2. What
3. When 
4. Where

Both the National Prescription Drug Monitoring Program and the Pronto Pharmacy Form were always used together to detect and report suspicious “unlawfully invalid controlled-substance prescriptions.” Both Diversion Investigator Richard James Alpert and so-called Pharmacist diversion expert Donald R. Sullivan were well aware of the Pronto Pharmacy Form and that all patients who came to Pronto Pharmacy were required to complete “The Form.” 

FIGURES DON’T LIE BUT LIARS DO FIGURE

However, Dr. Sullivan was suspicious of the patient questionnaire used by the subject pharmacy. The questionnaire inquired whether the patient lived more than 100 miles from the pharmacy.  Dr. Sullivan opined that this reason was insufficient to resolve the red flags. 

The questionnaire contained a certification to be made by the patient, certifying that “I am taking all of my medication prescribed.” Dr. Sullivan deemed this certification ineffectual in resolving the red flags of early fills and of diversion. A further statement by the patient that, “I am not selling any of my medication,” did not alleviate any concerns that the patient may have been diverting his medication. (5)

Indeed, Dr. Sullivan suspected the question exposed a subterfuge by the pharmacy, revealing the pharmacy believed patients were selling their medications, and the question was designed to relieve the pharmacy of any liability. If a pharmacist believes a patient is selling his/her medications, the pharmacist should not fill any further prescriptions for that patient.

RICHARD JAMES ALPERT AND DONALD SULLIVAN’S TESTIMONY OF BIAS AND FRAUD

Donald Sullivan’s testimony amounted to unsubstantiated fraudulent rubbish and bias. He nor Richard James Alpert took the time to investigate the origins of The Form. The Form was approved by the Pharmacy Attorney. 

Dan Buffington, PharmD, MBA of Tampa, Florida has been selected as President-Elect of the Florida Pharmacy Association for 2020-2021. Dr. Buffington is President and Practice Director of Clinical Pharmacology Services in Tampa and is also on the faculty at the University of Florida College of Medicine and Pharmacy. (5)

He served for 6 years on the Board of Trustees of the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and represents pharmacists on the American Medical Association’s Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Editorial Panel. He served for 5 years as a medication safety expert with the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on the Healthcare Reform team in the CMS Innovation Center and the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ) focused on improving health outcomes, patient safety, and alternate payment models. (5)

Thus, the testimony of both Donal Sullivan and Richard James Alpert demonstrates their gross incompetence and failure to investigate. If these two would have investigated, they would have easily found the people of Pronto Pharmacy LLC always adhered t to the rules, regulations, and laws which govern pharmacy. 

We demand that the CSA certificate of Pronto Pharmacy LLC., be returned unrestricted, and both Alpert and Sullivan be removed from employment from the Federal Government for fraudulent misrepresentation and abuse of authority.

JUDGE DOWD: And is it your job, is it part of your investigation in these cases to reach out to the prescribing physicians to determine if there’s a legitimate medical reason to justify the prescription, the opioid or whatever that’s actually prescribed? Is that part of your investigation?

DI ALPERT: That wasn’t part of my investigation. No sir.

Mr.Sisco: Okay. So you talked to the patients, right?

DI Alpert: Did I talk to the patients?

Mr.Sisco: Yes, sir.

DI Alpert: No, sir

Mr.Sisco: You didn’t talk to the patients?

DI Alpert: No, sir

CROSS EXAMINATION

BY MR. SISCO

Q. Good morning, Mr. Albert

A. Good morning.

Q. We’ve met before on a number of occasions, is that right?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. And in the 12 weeks of training that you received as a diversion investigator you were taught to be thorough in your investigation, correct?

A. Yes, sir

Q. And to gather as much information as you can to support an allegation that you were investigating, correct?

A. Yes, sir

Q. And in this case, you followed that training, is that correct?

A. Yes, sir

Q. So it was important for you to make sure that everything that you did, that you documented, was an accurate refection of your investigation efforts, right?

A. Yes, sir

Q. All right, And you ran down available leads

A. What are you referring to?

Q. Well, you know I presume that as part of your investigation you looked to see whether there was any information that was contrary to other information you’d come up with in the case, right?

A. I’m not sure exactly what you’re referring to.

Q. You would want to know if there was some information that was out there that differed from the conclusions that you’d reached, right?

A. I’m not sure what you’re asking as far as…

Q. Well, let’s make this basic.

A. Okay.

EXPOSING THE DEA’S FRAUDULENT RED FLAG ANALYSIS

The DEA agent Richard Albert prepared a warrant that “opinion based on a red flag that Pronto Pharmacy engaged in manufacturing-controlled substances. This is an assumption that a crime was committed within the Pronto Pharmacy.  Pronto Pharmacy is a licensed pharmaceutical company by law that can compound medications. 

As further written December 29, 2020, by the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board in a stark rebuke of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit filed in federal court in Delaware claims that: The Walmart DOJ complaint also includes:

” more than 190 mentions of “red flags” about suspicious opioid prescriptions. It claims Walmart often didn’t adequately resolve them and sometimes knowingly filled illegitimate prescriptions despite the warnings. But Walmart notes in its lawsuit that the Controlled Substances Act “and its implementing regulations do not include the concept of red flags, let alone identify any particular factors as a red flag.”

“The feds try to side-step this problem by claiming that, under the Controlled Substances Act and regulations, “the pharmacist’s conduct must adhere to the usual course of his or her professional practice as a pharmacist.” The complaint argues that catching and resolving “red flags” for opioid prescriptions is “a well-recognized responsibility of a pharmacist in the professional practice of pharmacy,” so “failing to fulfill this responsibility” is a violation of the federal law.”

However, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board further points out: 

” All of this raises constitutional issues based on a lack of legal standing. A negligence claim like the one alleged here is supposed to have a specific party claiming a specific injury caused by someone specific. Those are typically claims by one private party against another. The government can sue for violations of law, not because someone was negligent. The government’s claims of Controlled Substances Act violations are so general that they seem contrived to add some violation of the law.(1)

” In effect, DOJ is asking the federal court to overrule state law in favor of informal federal guidance and a vague notion of pharmaceutical best practices. This harassment was typical of the Obama era but it’s especially disappointing from the Trump Justice Department. The Biden Administration will be happy to run with this prosecutorial abuse.”(1)

THE SIX “RIGHTS”

The six medication rights serve as the foundation of safe medication administration. The RIGHT PATIENT must be given the RIGHT MEDICATION in the RIGHT DOSE by the RIGHT ROUTE at the RIGHT TIME. The pharmacist must also ensure that the prescription is supported by the RIGHT DOCUMENTATION. 

This involves cross-checking the prescriber’s order against the patient’s history and medical information to identify potential drug-drug, drug-disease, or drug-allergy interactions. Although electronic prescribing technology can help detect errors in medication names, dosing, and frequency, it is not foolproof. The pharmacist should verify that all elements of the order are correct (Brown, 2016).

Once the medication ordered is verified as appropriate for the patient and appropriately prescribed, it is the pharmacist’s responsibility to ensure that the correct medication in the right form and dose is provided to the patient at the appropriate time. With the vast array of drugs on the market, it is not possible for a prescriber or a pharmacist to be personally familiar with the uses, dosing, side-effects, potential interactions, and other implications of every drug. (

If a pharmacist is unfamiliar with a medication, he or she must consult a drug reference before dispensing the medication.https://videopress.com/embed/gdUg8wup?preloadContent=metadata&hd=1DR. RICHARD WYNN, PHARMACIST, PROFESSOR OF PHARMACOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND DENTAL

RETURN TO THE CROSS-EXAMINATION

BY MR. SISCO

Q. Okay? What you did was, if there was information that was in your possession that was relevant to this investigation, you wanted to make sure that you investigated that information completely; is that right?

A. Yes.

Q. Okay. So in this case you identified a number of patients whose prescription that you found to be– to raise red flags; right?

A. Correct.

Q. All right. And that’s what caused you to talk to your superiors about, you know, initiating the show cause process and retaining an expert; right?

A. Correct.

Q. Okay. So you talked to the patients, right?

A. Did I talk to the patients?

Q. Yes, sir.

A. No, sir

Q. You didn’t talk to the patients?

A. No, sir

Q. Well, wouldn’t it have been important for you to discuss with the patients whether or not they had an explanation for why they traveled to Pronto Pharmacy, for instance?

A. You could assume that, yes. 

Q. Well, but you never attempted to speak with them; correct?

A. No

Q. So specifically the 11 patients that were here, you’ve spoken with them?

A. No, sir

Q. Okay. You had some concerns as a diversion investigator regarding the legitimacy of prescriptions that were issued to those patients; is that true?

A. Not necessarily the legitimacy or the actual prescription.

Q. Okay. So that wasn’t an issue that you were concerned about?

A. I’m not saying that’s not an issue. but I’m saying, not necessarily, that that was just was the main thing.

Q. All right. So you went and you had the prescriptions, right?

A. Correct.

Q. So for those 11 patients that are identified in the orders to show cause, right?

A. Correct.

Q. And that’s part of the information that you reviewed, either in the spreadsheets or by looking at the original prescriptions, you’re very familiar with that; right?

A. Correct.

Q. And so – –

JUDGE DOWD: Let me ask a question. 

Mr. Albert, in looking at prescriptions what was your focus? Was it that there was a name on the prescription; that it was facially legitimate, or did you have any interest in looking into the prescription?

THE WITNESS: So when I looked at the prescription, of course I make sure it has all the information on it. What triggered suspicion was is that the prescription was written for tablets, but then on the back it was filled in capsules. So that intrigued my interest on those prescriptions.

JUDGE DOWD: And is it your job, is it part of your investigation in these cases to reach out to the prescribing physicians to determine if there’s a legitimate medical reason to justify the prescription, the opioid or whatever that’s actually prescribed? Is that part of your investigation?

THE WITNESS: That wasn’t part of my investigation. No sir.

JUDGE DOWD: Okay. I’m sorry. Go ahead, Mr. Sisco.

MR. SISCO: Well, Judge, you’re stealing my thunder.

JUDGE DOWD: Sorry. I just want to make that clear, because you asked have you looked into the prescription. And I want to know if it was just facially or if it was the history of the prescriber or whatnot.

BY MR. SISCO:

Q. So Investigator Albert, you did not go and talk to any of the prescribers; is that correct?

A. Correct.

Q. So even though you had a concern about how these prescriptions were filled, capsules as opposed to tablets, you never talked to the prescribers about whether or not the authorized that; is that correct?

A. No, I did not.

Q. That would be important information to have, wouldn’t it?

A. My best answer is yes and no.

JUDGE DOWD: Could you- – that doesn’t help us. Could you explain your answer?

THE WITNESS: Because in my investigation I do not necessarily have to talk to the prescriber based on the investigation that I perform.

BY MR. SISCO:

Q. Well, you don’t have to but you could. There’s nothing preventing you from doing that, right?

A. No. There’s nothing preventing me.

Q. All right. And so if you really want to get to the truth of the matter, what you do is you talk to the doctor and say; well, doctor, did you authorize the substitution of capsule for tablets on behalf of tis patient, right?

A. Yes.

Q. That’s kind of a simple, direct and straightforward way to get to the heart of this issue, right?

A. Yes.

Q. And you didn’t do it?

A. Well, I didn’t do it on one particular doctor because he was under investigation already.

Q. Okay. Then you went to Pronto Pharmacy, you observed, starting in September 17, you observed, that they were building out a sterile compounding room?

A. I observed a compounding room, yes sir.

JUDGE DOWD: And what is that? How did you know that was a compounding room? What distinguishes a compounding room from any other room in a pharmacy?

THE WITNESS: So when you go in the pharmacy, this particular pharmacy, and you walk down the hallway and you go around, it’s a whole other room. And they have what appears to be like a laboratory, if you will.

JUDGE DOWD: Like a clean room?

THE WITNESS: Yes. Kind of a clean room. So it’s a big, enclosed area where you have a door to go in then I guess where the pharmacist would do his compounding.

JUDGE DOWD: All right, thank you.

BY MR. SISCO:

Q. And when you walked in the lobby, the entrance area of Pronto Pharmacy there’s a number of signs on the wall; is that correct?

A. Yes.

Q. There’s a sign, for instance, that tells patients that the pharmacist is available for consultations with them, right?

A. I’m not sure, sir.

Q. Okay. And there’s a sign that talks about the substitution of generic equivalents, correct?

A. I’m not sure.

Q. Well, you’re aware that that’s required by Florida statutes, right? Is that part of your training?

A. Thats not part of our training, no sir.

Q. Okay. So you were concerned – _ I think you used the word “suspicious,” because of the distance some of these patients traveled in order to get to Pronto Pharmacy; is that right?

A. Yes, sir

Q. So with regards to that issue, you wanton to Google and tried to figure out how far it was?

A. Yes, Sir.

COMPOUNDING AND THE TESTIMONY OF DIVERSION INVESTIGATOR ALPERT: 

DIVERSION INVESTIGATOR RICHARD JAMES ALBERT

So, when Diversion Investigator Richard James Alpert, in May of 2019 returned to Pronto Pharmacy for his 5th visit, make no mistake, his actions as directed by his handlers, Susan Langston, DEA Divisional Director State of Florida located in Miami, Florida Aimee Hickerson Diversion Supervisor, Florida assigned to Pharmacies, John Beerbower Esq., United States  Attorney for the DEA. was laser-targeted on finally disrupting, dismantling and destroying the business of Pronto Pharmacy LLC.  In a similar manner as Superior Pharmacy of Tampa, Florida, or in West Virginia, Oak Hill Home Town Pharmacy, Oak Hill, WV.

DEA’s argument has been Pronto Pharmacy compounding of control medications was concluded as manufacturing and Pronto Pharmacy needed a separate manufacturing registration. This was because their retail registration license does not cover for manufacturing. The chart of guidelines more than contradicts all DEA assertions made by both DI Albert and his handlers against Pronto Pharmacy. 

DI Alpert of DEA stated in his testimony, he did not know state law or federal law as it pertains to Pronto Pharmacy LLC alleged in order to show cause. DI Alpert further stated he use a form default letter which is located in DEA’s Computer system to write the Order to Show Cause which he had started in April, 20019, 3-months prior to their raid of August 29, 2019.

The jurisdiction on who defines compounding or manufacturing is that of the FDA. Had DI Alpert consulted with the FDA, or understood the rules on pharmaceuticals perhaps the outcome would be far different. Had  DI Alpert reviewed the DOH Administrative finding of 2018 and our response he may have been better educated in the subject matter as to not proceeded with a criminal complaint. See administration 20017-18 case: ph201705581 also, Atty dale Sisco response and DOH, findings.

FLORIDA 64B16-27.700 DEFINITION OF COMPOUNDING

“Compounding” is the professional act by a pharmacist or other practitioner authorized by law, employing the science or art of any branch of the profession of pharmacy, incorporating ingredients to create a finished product for dispensing to a patient or for administration by a practitioner or the practitioner’s agent; and shall specifically include the professional act of preparing a unique finished product containing any ingredient or device defined by Sections 465.003(7) and (8), F.S. 

The term also includes the preparation of nuclear pharmaceuticals and diagnostic kits incident to use of such nuclear pharmaceuticals. The term “commercially available products,” as used in this section, means any medicinal product as defined by Sections 465.003(7) and (8), F.S., that are legally distributed in the State of Florida by a drug manufacturer or wholesaler.

(1) Compounding includes:

(a) The preparation of drugs or devices in anticipation of prescriptions based on routine, regularly observed prescribing patterns.

(b) The preparation pursuant to a prescription of drugs or devices which are not commercially available.

(c) The preparation of commercially available products from bulk when the prescribing practitioner has prescribed the compounded product on a per prescription basis, and the patient has been made aware that the compounded product will be prepared by the pharmacist. 

The reconstitution of commercially available products pursuant to the manufacturer’s guidelines is permissible without notice to the practitioner.

If the officers were asked the difference between compounding and manufacturing, they must know what they are being asked. A reasonable officer could not support or testify to the facts of any item or file that was within the seized computer or secondary storage systems.  

It is within DI Richard Albert’s own statement that he “conceded that he did not know what significance the Florida Administrative Code (FAC) which guides Pharmacy in the State of Florida.”  Agent Richard Alpert said, “ FAC provisions were already included in his subpoena template, and that he did not know what those provisions meant.”   

Q Are you familiar with the FDA guidelines with regard to compounding?

A No, sir.

Q As part of your training, the 12 week diversion investigator training, did you receive training with regard to the compounding of medication and the laws that apply to it?

A Not compounding, manufacturing.

Q Okay. But not compounding?

A Not specifically compounding.

Q All right. And one of the things that you’re trained on in that 12-week course is the law; right?

A Yes.

Q And Federal law, I presume?

A Yes.

Q And have you educated yourself on Florida law that applies to pharmacy operations?

A My answer will be no on that.

Q So in your analysis of this case, you looked solely to federal law?

A Correct.

Q Even though, for instance, your subpoena references specific Florida Administrative Code provisions?

A Correct.

Q You drafted the subpoena, didn’t you?

A Yes.

Q Okay. So when you put those code provisions in there, they had some significance to you; didn’t they?

A Yes.

Q Okay. What was the significance that they had?

A I don’t know, sir.

Q Okay. So you don’t know what — you put them in there but you don’t know what they mean?

A They’re already in there, actually.

Q Oh. So it’s just a template?

A Part of it, yes, sir.

Q Okay. So you just plug it in. But you really don’t know what it means?

A No, sir,

JACK FOLSON:

1. The issues here are several.  The diversion Investigator has testified in open court that he has no understanding of the difference between compounding and manufacturing.  However, in light of this discrepancy, he continued with the warrant without educating himself about what he was doing.  
2. Furthermore, there is no indication that anyone on his team took the time to educate him on this crucial factor.  This is somewhat problematic in that how can you prove by the preponderance of the evidence that this Pharmacy is non-compliant in the law without the investigator knowing what is in the law?
3. Since this investigator drafted the subpoena, he needed to have probable cause to present to an administrative law judge to sign.  Without an adequate probable cause, there is no warrant.  
4. Without a warrant, there is no case due to a violation of the constitutional protection of illegal search and seizure. Without a subpoena, there is no case.  
5. Therefore, this falls by the virtue of the “fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine.”

MFR is a matter of taking note which identifies what is happening at the moment of time. His testimony was simply a lie as he has done before and people have gone to prison Harold Eugene Fletcher who went to props based on the tesitmony of Donal R Sullivan.

” A pharmacist may manufacture an aqueous or oleaginous solution or solid dosage form containing a narcotic controlled substance in Schedule II–V in a proportion not exceeding 20% of the complete solution, compound, or mixture. A retail pharmacy may perform central fill pharmacy activities.“

The below chart demonstrates Richard James Albert nor his handlers know existing laws and/or rules guiding the practice of Pharmacy. More specifically control medications and this chart under (iv) practitioners, hospitals retail pharmacies are permitted under their DEA Federal Registry certificate to process Schedule medications II-V. This chart specifically outlines:

Yet, what is more, troublesome it that these guidelines are from the DEA’s own website under 21 USC 1301.13 under certificate new license and renewal (224&224a) and the cost for this license is $731.00 and it is good for 3 years. The importance is DI Albert didn’t know the laws, never looked for the laws, and his handlers, Aimee Hickerson, Susan Langston, John Beerbower kept him ignorant of the laws.

THE DELIBERATE WRONG DOING OF THE DEA

THE

Interference with Wholesalers

On August 29, 2019, a well-coordinated attack implemented by both the DEA and Florida Department of Health was waged on Pronto Pharmacy.  Their actions were beyond the scope of service of a certified law enforcement agency.  Upon entering, a DEA Agent is videotaped removing and disabling Pronto Pharmacy’s camera systems wherein they damaged and destroyed several articles of equipment. (10) (See below videos) 

pharmacy-blurred-mp4“DEA DAMAGE AND DISABLE SECURITY CAMERAS”

The process begins with DEA investigators like Richard Albert interfering with wholesalers, by calling and suggesting they close the merchant account of the targeted pharmacy, under the DEA’s “Know Your Customer Program.” In the case of Pronto Pharmacy, the wholesaler was Safe Chain Solutions. DI Albert instructed Safe Chain to close Pronto Pharmacy’s control medication account in June of 2019, making the products commercially unavailable to them. Therefore, Pronto Pharmacy continued its compounding in order to meet the demand of its patient base. (1)

Ms. Cheryl Elshaer saw a Pharmacy owned by a Black Family that had the capability of compounding control medications, (SHE DID A KAREN) and called the police (DEA). (2)

ABBIE DIVILIO SAFE CHAIN STATE REGULATION COORDINATOR

Ms. Divilio and the DEA worked together with the intent to undermine and destroy the business of Pronto Pharmacy, using distance travel from the physician’s office under know your customer program. Again, no such law exists in either the Federal and State statute.

Sometime in June 2019, Ms. Divilio made an onsite visit to Pronto Pharmacy and spoke with Pharmacist Guy Decker. Video recordings show Ms. Divilio stayed approximately 7.3 minutes. She examine no records, asked Mr. Decker one question, and reviewed no profiles.  Approximately, a week later Pronto Pharmacy’s control medication account was closed. Ms. Divilio informed that they were concern regarding distance traveled between the physician’s office and Pharmacy. 

35 AGENTS OF DEA RAID PRONTO PHARMACY  AUGUST 29, 2019.

The DEA has learned the rewards are even better against a doctor, dentist, pharmacist, manufacturer, or hospital using RICO, and Justice Department intimidations.  Further, the DEA has its own Court System ( that Operates as a Kangaroo Court) which does not adhere to Federal Rules of Civil Procedures.   Their Judges answer solely to the head of the DEA.

We Demand hearings from Congress as the activity of the DEA affects the lives of all of America during this Covid pandemic by creating disparity and shortages and the majority of the times this has been done by race.

Yet it is clear that the DEA agents were operating in absence from the law whereby Richard Albert, testified on January 28, 2020, in a DEA Federal Court Hearing that he did not “Know or understand the law(s) or how any law apply to the practice of Pharmacy.” There is no evidence that any medication was being diverted. (6) 

9/17/opinion/drugs-dea-defund-heroin.html

DEA Diversion Investigator Richard James Albert so entered the premises of Pronto Pharmacy LLC., based on an assumption that lead Pharmacist Norman J Clement, his family and those employed were illegally manufacturing Oxycodone and Hydromorphone based on suspicion and dispensing high doses of illegally controled prescriptions. 

ALL PHYSICIANS WERE LICENSED

All medications, controlled and non-control, have been properly prescribed by a licensed physician, for treatment of a disease state, supported by radiographs, physical examination, and treatment plan, all part of the patient’s medical/dental records. DI Albert, purposely withheld relevant facts by eviscerating the patient-practitioner relationship, by using Google Maps to track distance traveled by theses patients to have their prescriptions filled, and the patients paying in cash. This is negligence. His handlers have taught him well. Jack Folson Pharmacist Expert writes:

“Currently, the DEA has no statistical guidelines or law to support or establish boundary levels, which are indicative of criminal acts when filling any Control prescription written for patients by a physician who has performed a thorough physical examination, diagnoses supported by medical/dental radiographs and treatment plan. The DEA guidelines are tactic acts that specifically target African American pharmacists.” (8)

DRUG ADDICTION IS NOT A CRIME

It is unreasonable to expect a Diversion Investigator to have a complete understanding of these complex issues. Notwithstanding the basic foundation of patho-physiology is not in their 12-week course as compared to Physicians and Pharmacists requiring years of training to make adequate choices in this arena.  

THE PAINFUL DISCUSSION OF BEING UNDERESTIMATED, UNDERVALUED AND MARGINALIZED

Let it be clear the poor training and limited comprehension, lack of understanding of pharmaceutical science, pharmacy law, and pharmacy protocols of DI Richard James Albert are deliberate, yet essential, and purposefully crafted by his handlers to perform his mission. Richard James Albert does not perform without their command. His handlers know they can prevail with him in spight of their dismissiveness toward medical science and protocols. DI Albert could never be used successfully against a large Chain Drug Store or a Jewish, or White-owned pharmacy because the quality of his knowledge and training would quickly be exposed in a legal proceeding. 

Yet, the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) will prosecute black pharmacist and black-owned pharmacies for accepting cash as a form of payment. (9),(10) The problem here directly falls on the incompetents of the DEA and their private vendors (Appriss Health) who have failed to develop the software of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) which can distinguish when a person pays in cash, credit card, or debit.

Summary Testimony of Diversion Investigator Alpert: 

Q. Based upon the investigation that you conducted. did you attempt to determine what the volume was of prescriptions that were being dispensed at Pronto Pharmacy?

A No, sir.

Q But you could tell from the dispensing records, for instance, how man prescriptions were being dispensed each day, each week, each month or each year; right?

A I would be able to tell that, yes.

Q But you never made an attempt to do that?

A No, sir.

Q And did you analyze the records, the prescribing records that you obtained via the administrative inspection warrant to compare the patients who received capsules that were compounded at Pronto Pharmacy to the anticipated patient need?

A No, sir.

SUMMARY OF DIVERSION INVESTIGATOR RICHARD JAMES ALPERT’S DIVERSION OF THE TRUTH

Diversion Investigator Richard Albert,(DI) testified that he did not “Know or understand the law(s) or how any law applies to the practice of Pharmacy. On January 28, 2020, Richard Albert (DI Albert) under cross-examination by Pronto Pharmacy Attorney Dale Sisco of Tampa, Fl, in summary, stated

1. In reviewing the respondent’s prescription data, he became suspicious because certain prescriptions were written for tablets but filled in capsules. However, DI Albert admitted that he is not familiar with FDA guidelines regarding compounding and, further, that he did not analyze the records he obtained from the respondent to compare the patients who received capsules that were compounded at respondent’s pharmacy to the anticipated patient’s need.  Likewise, DI Albert did not compare the number of doses of capsules documented as having been compounded by the batch reports to the number of drugs dispensed by the respondent.

Senator Hatch video on DEA and Opioid Crisis and Abuse| C-SPAN.org

https://www.c-span.org/video/?435395-3/senator-hatch-dea-opioid-crisis

1. DI Albert admitted that speaking with the prescribing physicians identified in the E-FORCE data would have been a simple and straightforward method to ascertain whether any of those prescribers had, in fact, authorized the substitution of capsules for tablets for a particular prescription. He testified further that there was nothing to prevent him from contacting all but one of the physicians who wrote the prescriptions for the patients at issue.  However, DI Albert never contacted, spoke with, or attempted to contact or speak with any of the prescribing physicians. (3),(4),(5)
2. DI Albert did not know of any federal or state law or regulation that limits the geographic area in which a pharmacy can dispense medications. (2)

CONCLUSION

Why must an agency continue to operate when it openly violated the laws.  We can see that the DEA is no longer an agency that practices and enforces the law effectively and correctly.  This agency has developed a system of support for the rightness of the agency and not for the rights to protect and serve the country.  If this agency is not reorganized or shut down, it will continue to present a clear and present danger to all of America.

THE Scapegoating OF Walmart

BY

THE EDITORIAL BOARD

OF THE

WALL STREET JOURNAL

DECEMBER 29, 2020

The feds seek billions in penalties for filling valid opioid prescriptions

” One benefit of the Trump era has been the relative absence of dubious lawsuits against business. An exception is the Justice Department’s new suit against Walmart for filling opioid prescriptions.

The lawsuit in federal court in Delaware claims that Walmart “failed to detect and report at least hundreds of thousands of suspicious orders” and that as a pharmacy it “unlawfully filled thousands upon thousands of invalid controlled-substance prescriptions.” These actions enabled opioid abuse and “helped fuel a national crisis,” the feds say. (1)

The complaint alleges violations of the Controlled Substances Act and its accompanying regulations, but it is really a 160-page exercise in scapegoating a company because it is well-known and has deep pockets. Walmart doesn’t push pills on opioid addicts. Its pharmacists fill valid prescriptions written by doctors who are licensed by their states and registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

When Walmart’s pharmacists catch a prescription that appears fraudulent or forged, they are trained to refuse to fill it and document the incident. Walmart says it has passed tens of thousands of leads about suspicious prescriptions to state and federal law enforcement. It’s the job of the DEA and state medical boards to investigate and revoke doctors’ licenses and prescribing privileges if there’s wrongdoing.

Yet the DEA rarely imposes such restrictions on physicians, and Walmart has no authority to act on its own. When pharmacists have refused to fill questionable prescriptions, doctors have sometimes sued for defamation and patients have sometimes sued for discrimination. Several states have prohibited pharmacists from interfering with the doctor-patient relationship by second-guessing valid prescriptions.

No federal law supersedes these state laws. Instead, the DEA has issued informal guidance on how pharmacists should ascertain whether an opioid prescription is medically legitimate. But this guidance doesn’t carry the force of law or regulation, and it has sometimes contradicted other federal guidance and statements on opioid dispensation. 

Walmart notes that the DEA has suggested that some combinations of opioids never have a legitimate medical purpose and should never be filled. Yet the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services continues to cover these opioid combinations and wants such prescriptions to be evaluated based on individual medical circumstances. Walmart filed a pre-emptive suit in October seeking clarity about the standards for handling prescriptions, but it has received no answers.

The DOJ complaint also includes more than 190 mentions of “red flags” about suspicious opioid prescriptions. It claims Walmart often didn’t adequately resolve them and sometimes knowingly filled illegitimate prescriptions despite the warnings. But Walmart notes in its lawsuit that the Controlled Substances Act “and its implementing regulations do not include the concept of red flags, let alone identify any particular factors as a red flag.”

The feds try to side-step this problem by claiming that, under the Controlled Substances Act and regulations, “the pharmacist’s conduct must adhere to the usual course of his or her professional practice as a pharmacist.” The complaint argues that catching and resolving “red flags” for opioid prescriptions is “a well-recognized responsibility of a pharmacist in the professional practice of pharmacy,” so “failing to fulfill this responsibility” is a violation of the federal law.

All of this raises constitutional issues based on a lack of legal standing. A negligence claim like the one alleged here is supposed to have a specific party claiming a specific injury caused by someone specific. Those are typically claims by one private party against another. The government can sue for violations of law, not because someone was negligent. The government’s claims of Controlled Substances Act violations are so general that they seem contrived to add some violation of the law.

In effect, DOJ is asking the federal court to overrule state law in favor of informal federal guidance and a vague notion of pharmaceutical best practices. This harassment was typical of the Obama era but it’s especially disappointing from the Trump Justice Department. The Biden Administration will be happy to run with this prosecutorial abuse.”
