Book Review: A LETTER TO LIBERALS

Orrin Hatch could have put an end to the destruction of human life.
(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) -
Recently it was reported that retired US Senator Orrin Hatch (Utah) had died. In 2019, I wrote the below newspaper article for publication regarding Hatch's culpability in the unprecedented deaths to opioids.
The words "Rest in Peace Orrin Hatch" are definitely not fitting for him in death.
I encourage everyone with questions on the ever-changing directives from Dr. Fauci (re: the pandemic) to read Kennedy's book "The Real Anthony Fauci ...Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health" and educate themselves on facts -- not fears or politics.
(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) -
Recently, Mr. Kennedy, chairman of Children's Defense Organization, made arrangements to have his publisher, Skyhorse forward me a copy of his best-selling book referenced above for me to write a review.
The task at first was daunting until I came to the realization that people needed common sense information.
Part 4 in a series - "Why wasn't Purdue Pharma and the Sacklers charged under RICO?"
(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) -
The below article was published in three newspapers including Salem-News.com in 2019 during my 19 years of "continuously" exposing Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, maker of OxyContin.
We are now left with sheep in wolves clothing profiting off of Purdue Pharma and their fifteen minutes of fame.
Part 3 in my series of the FDA being held accountable for conflicts of interest with pharma
(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) -
In June 2016, this article focused on the first buprenorphine implant for treatment of opioid dependence marketed by San Francisco-based Titan Pharmaceuticals Inc., approved by the FDA on May 26, 2016.
Was there any investigation into a conflict of interest? Read on.
This is Part 2 of my series on the impunity of the FDA as regards the opioid addiction/death epidemic crippling the U.S.
(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) -
For almost two decades I have been exposing the FDA and their leadership with "pay to play", conflicts of interest with hedge funds and many decision makers forming their own consulting firms -- even while employed at the FDA.
This article expands on Bob Rappaport, MD, Division Director of Analgesic, Anesthetic and Addiction Drugs (now retired from the FDA and serving on pharmaceutical boards).
"It's time for impunity to end with the FDA": PART 1
(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) -
In my 19 continuous years of exposing the FDA and their "pay to play" tactics with the pharmaceutical industry, I have had many articles published calling it as it is -- "the root of the opioid epidemic is at the top" with the FDA.
I will be running a series of these articles from the past naming the offenders in the FDA as well as the pharmaceutical industry.
Big Pharma and the FDA dressed as the Calvary will be riding to your kids' rescue!
(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) -
The pharmaceutical industry waits in the wings salivating at their next multi-billion dollar drug to slide past the FDA for approval.
Bear with me as I bring you down the "road of no conscience" having had 19 years involved in the sordid history of pharma and the FDA.
Photos speak volumes for what their irresponsible actions will do.
(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) -
Rhode Island is becoming the first U.S. state to authorize a pilot program for so-called "harm reduction centers" that give drug users a "safe place" to consume pre-obtained illegal drugs.
These harm reduction centers are addicts so they can use heroin and other illegal drugs under the supervision of medical professionals.

Marianne Skolek is an Investigative Reporter focusing on the Prescription Opioid/Heroin Epidemic in the U.S. and Canada. In particular, Marianne has covered the criminal marketing of OxyContin going back to 1999 and continuing to the present.
In 2002, Marianne lost her daughter, Jill to prescribed OxyContin which her physician referred to as "mobility in a bottle." It was, in fact, death in a bottle. After doing extensive research on the maker of OxyContin, Purdue Pharma, Marianne began working with the Department of Justice in Virginia in their criminal investigation into Purdue Pharma and in July 2007 was asked by the U.S. Attorney John Brownlee prosecuting the case to testify against the three CEO's of Purdue Pharma, Michael Friedman, Paul Goldenheim, MD and Howard Udell, Chief Counsel. The CEO's pleaded guilty to misleading the medical profession about the dangers of OxyContin. Marianne also testified against Purdue Pharma at a Judiciary Hearing of the U.S. Senate in July 2007.
In addition, a dangerous and highly addictive opioid named Zohydro has been approved by the FDA against their Advisory Committee's advice and Marianne continues to alert Attorneys General, Senators and Congressmen as to the FDA's irresponsibility in the out of control prescription opioid/heroin epidemic killing and addicting in the tens of thousands each year. Zohydro has been referred to as "heroin in a capsule" and its lowest dosage (10mg) contains twice as much hydrocodone as found in a Vicodin pill. The highest single dose of Zohydro contains as much hydrocodone as 5 to 10 tablets of Vicodin or Lortab. Zohydro mixed with alcohol can be fatal and has no abuse deterrent built in which will make it easy to crush and deliver a fatal dose of the opioid.
Currently Marianne has been instrumental in calling for the termination of Margaret Hamburg, MD, Commissioner of the FDA as well as Bob A. Rappaport, MD and Douglas Throckmorton, MD for their lack of commitment to safeguarding the American public against the prescription opioid/heroin epidemic. Marianne's research, writing and contact with government agencies and attorneys has also exposed the heavily funded pain foundations set up by the pharmaceutical industry and their paid physician spokespersons who convinced the medical boards in 50 states and Canada that dangerous opioids such as OxyContin were less likely to be addictive. These physicians -- in particular Scott Fishman, MD, J. David Haddox, DDS, MD, Perry Fine, MD, Lynn R. Webster, MD, Russell Portenoy, MD also downplayed the risks of addictive opioids in books as authors. These books are still available for sale and promoted to the medical profession.
Here are links to Marianne's involvement in exposing the national conspiracy of the prescription opioid/heroin epidemic, the FDA, the pharmaceutical industry, their pain foundations and paid physician spokespersons.
