Purdue Pharma Markets Deadly Drugs Through Facebook

Might be a good time for the FDA to make Purdue Pharma "honest" and require the word "addictive" along with "abuse liability" on their OxyContin label.

(MYRTLE BEACH, Calif.) - As the FDA finalizes their "Opioid Recommendations" by 2011, Purdue Pharma is "marketing directly to consumers" in Facebook - a social networking website

Gary Ruskin, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Commercial Alert, was quoted in 2005 as saying "Direct-to-consumer marketing of prescription drugs should be prohibited...

La Nina: Southern California Will See Winter Flip-Flop

Water restrictions and drought pricing are already in place for most of the water authority's customers.

(State College, Pa.) - AccuWeather.com reports thanks to a strong La Nina weather pattern, the West Coast is likely to see winter conditions opposite of what it endured last year.

According to AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist and West Coast resident Ken Clark said, "The difference going into this winter, is going to be totally on the opposite side, last year we had a moderate El Nino going through the winter, that drastically changed this spring to a La Nina pattern."

Narcotic Maker Guilty of Deceit Over Marketing

"Into an endless grave I fall. Only God will understand, why I'm more than gone" - Deathalizer

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) - Since the criminal prosecution in Federal Court of the three CEO's of Purdue Pharma in July 2007, anyone curious as to what these guys are doing with themselves these days?

It's not like they are hurting for money. After all, they made a fortune out of marketing a very dangerous drug called OxyContin as less likely to be addictive or abused resulting in scores of deaths and addictions throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Right Wing Liars: Michael Charles Master, James David Manning, GiniCorp, and ATLAH World Ministries

These people are hypocrites, liars and con artists, pure and simple.

(EUGENE, Ore.) - ATLAH World Ministries is a bizarre “Christian” ministry operated in Harlem by an ex-felon named James David Manning. Manning espouses a variety of conflicting racists view points, which even Fox News labels as “Hate Filled,” although that doesn’t stop them from giving him air time.

In a notorious Fox News interview, Manning stated of Obama: “His African in heat father went a-whoring after a trashy white woman. He was born trash. I said he was born trash. I didn't trash him. I'm speaking the truth about him.”

`Every War Must End`

Ludicrous? Absolutely! An alternative to war? Peace!

(DA NANG, Vietnam) - The words of military strategist Fred Ikle. But, tomorrow, August 1, 2010, the new International Ban on Cluster Munitions is lacking three crucial signatures: Those from the United States, Israel, and Russia.

These three countries, well entrenched in war as we speak, and no doubt continuing to proliferate the use of cluster munitions as they engage their enemies at various levels, do not apparently show an interest in this legacy of war.

Green Energy Myths

Oregon citizens and especially Oregon politicians need to get wise to these “green” energy scams, and realize that the policies are being promoted by the National Parties.

(EUGENE, Ore.) - “Green” energy, “renewable” energy, and other buzz words are all the rage in national politics.

The obsession of rich urban elitists with pretending that their lifestyles are not massively destructive to the environment gets passed down to the rest of us in the form of ridiculous sermons about reducing energy consumption, and boondoggle white elephant investments in high tech junk, all on the tax payers' tab.

John McCain and the Keating Five Scandal

The present financial crisis is, as that wise philosopher Yogi Berra once said: "Like deja vu all over again."

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Remember during the presidential campaign when then Senator Barack Obama made public a video outlining Senator John McCain's role in the Keating Five scandal. Bringing up McCain's role during the campaign wasn't just about his past. Rather, his role in that scandal had possible implications to the present financial crisis.

The video shows McCain as someone who helped out a constituent, Charles Keating, while — just like today — taxpayers got stuck with the bill.

Fear Drug Pushers? Add Purdue Pharma`s Pain Societies to the List

"How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!" - Mark Twain

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) - Last year the maker of OxyContin, Purdue Pharma attempted to market for "the undertreatment of pain in newborns and pediatric patients" as well as for something they called "pregnancy pain."

I made a complaint to a government agency against Purdue Pharma and they were made to discontinue this frightening marketing tactic.

Pain Relief Network Challenges Washington State`s Opioid Guidelines

What's contained in Washington State's Opioid Guidelines that has the multi-billion dollar Purdue Pharma, maker of OxyContin, and one of their well funded pain societies fighting to keep opioids flowing in that state?

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) - We'll begin with the Pain Relief Network's (PRN) "fight for chronic pain" treatment referring to what they are fighting for is the "dangerous crackdown on people with chronic pain."

They are turning to the protection of the courts in an effort to have the "deadly disease of chronic pain" declared a disability under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
