New Hampshire has a world famous opioid epidemic. We are ”ground zero” for the opioid epidemic. My question is why is it so bad? Who is fueling it? What is their purpose?
In short, the answer is: drug cartels protected by the government to make lots of money.
Now, let me explain to you how I got there.
According to a Harvard School of Public Health article, “Donations from opioid manufacturers to politicians influence policy decisions. In addition, a revolving door of officials leaving government regulatory agencies such as the Drug Enforcement Agency regularly join the pharmaceutical industry with little to no “cooling off” periods.”
In other words drug companies give money to politicians to make sure their products stay on the market and don’t get regulated. Also, lots of drug enforcement officers start working for the pharmaceutical industry.
That is just the start of the mess that we have in New Hampshire.
According to Mike Gill who interviewed thousands victims of corruption from New Hampshire for his former website, State of Corruption, Dick Anagnost (and men like him) are another reason our opioid epidemic is so bad.
Dick has been the head of a drug cartel in New Hampshire for 40 years. He is also the owner of the Elliot Hospital, among other hospitals. In addition, he owns Hope for New Hampshire, Families in Transition and the Farnum Center (substance recovery centers).
At the hospitals, they push the drugs. Then, they use the recovery charities to do two things, launder money and bill insurance.
According to Frank Staples who worked in the recovery community in Manchester, the recovery industry is generally an insurance billing scheme.
They recruit people to go to rehab centers, including homeless people and people from outside of the state. Then, they will sign people up for insurance. If someone’s insurance runs out, they are kicked out of the program. In the programs, they don’t teach the addicts anything, but they expect them to pay rent. Then, the victims cycle through the system again and again, never getting better.
Mike Gill said that our government is set up to protect this drug rings. It starts with lawyers. The drug cartels have lawyers working for them. Then, they become district attorneys, so they own the courts. Then, the drug cartels support a politician and that politician chooses the judges. Therefore, politicians, lawyers and judges are owned by the drug cartels.
Mike Gill couldn’t do anything in New Hampshire to report what he had found, so he went to the FBI. But, they didn’t even answer the door. Finally, he went to DC, but they refused to talk to him.
He concluded that it was so corrupt that there was no one that he could turn to. We have to rise up on our own.
According to Jean Shaheen’s own website, over the past five years, she has secured $140 million to fight the opioid crisis.
Will Shaheen stop the drug dealers in our hospitals?
