Summary: <p>According to my guest, investigative journalist Jon Rappoport, the opioid epidemic is much more than an epidemic--<u>it is a criminal conspiracy</u>. </p><br> <p>He describes how the US Congress, FDA, DEA and Justice Department have systematically refused or failed to deal with the sources of the flood of pain medications knowingly over-produced and misdirected into the addiction market by the Pharmaceutical Industry. Listen to what Jon has to say and you will a better informed if even more disillusioned citizen. The political and industrial behavior he describes fits the pattern that I am familiar with--a Pharmaceutical Empire and medical profession devoted to profits and not to people, and a government that aids and abets them.</p>
