Confiscated arms at the US-Mexican border.

(MEXICO CITY / LOS ANGELES) - The recent split between two former allies in Mexico's criminal underworld has torn open a new chapter of violence in northern Mexico.

Between February and March, the number of homicides in Matamoros and Reynosa, two cities under siege in northern Mexico, surpassed 2009 totals.

Two Criminals Doing Business Together

The FDA and the Health and Human Services agencies have acquired a much needed short fuse in dealing with criminals disguised as pharmaceutical companies.

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) - US District Judge Denny Chin on Bernie Madoff's conviction:
"Mr. Madoff's crimes were extraordinarily evil."
"The breach of trust was massive."

Wonder what US District Judge Denny Chin would call KV Pharmaceuticals and Purdue Pharma -- responsible for defrauding consumers -- endangering their lives -- and in some cases causing scores of deaths.

PTSD, PTSD, PTSD, the Costliest Problem for the USA

Flashbacks & nightmares are the worst symptom of this terrible problem.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - NIGHTMARES ARE THE WORST! Yes, I deliberately wrote PTSD three times.

This extreme problem has been ignored for about 100 years, maybe 140 years – the Civil War. PTSD, not by that name, has been known for thousands of years.

Dangerous Drugs for Combat Soldiers
Zombies on the Attack Part 2

Of the hundreds of Army suicides, 40% of those were taking these anti-depressant drugs.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I wrote and posted my first article by this title on March 26, 2010.

I write from a feeling and belief that my experience as a front-line Combat Infantryman, Battalion Scout, Pointman, and Forward Observer in addition to being a PTSD War Veteran, PTSD Patient and Physician who has successfully treaded about 1000 PTSD War Veterans has some validity.

Purdue Pharma and Best Seat in the House

Purdue Pharma's gift: loved ones dead or hopelessly addicted to OxyContin.

(WICHITA, Kansas) - Purdue Pharma's April Fool's Day -- We've addicted and killed your family members by criminally marketing OxyContin -- Now we're stooping to "bathroom" advertising to cure the dreaded constipation epidemic in the U.S.

Purdue Pharma, maker of OxyContin, recently completed "Best Seat in the House," its first online sweepstakes to raise nationwide awareness on the "life threatening" issue of constipation.

New Mexico`s Governor Orders National Guard to Patrol Mexican Border

The move follows the shooting death of an Arizona rancher.

(SANTA FE) - Governor Bill Richardson, after meeting with top law enforcement officials this morning, ordered the National Guard to patrol the border with Mexico and ensure the safety of New Mexico citizens.

Anti-depressant drugs are doubly dangerous. Most of them cause a severe drug hangover which is far worse than alcohol. Their adverse side effects are possibly/probably causing or worsening PTSD.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I could NOT believe what I was seeing on ABC TV News March 24, 2010; that the Army Shrinkologists (Psychiatrists) were prescribing zombifying drugs to frontline combat troops.

I was a Combat Infantryman, Battalion Scout, Pointman and Forward Observer in WWII. I am not only lucky but astonished that I lived through it.

All Hell is Breaking Loose in Mexico

"The Cartels now own Mexico and Juarez" - Cartel message from across the border, stating that El Paso Border Patrol, ICE, and local police were now targets, and that their wives and children were not safe in the US or Mexico... and to stay out of Mexico.

(JUAREZ / SALEM) - As American network news discusses tea parties, sex scandals and Britney Spears, all Hell is breaking loose on the U.S. border with Mexico.

In Juarez, the murder toll is rising on an equal footing with the fear and trepidation of a populace caught between the guns of police and drug soldiers with little disregard for collateral damage.
