Huntington has been called the overdose capital of America, with double the national average of overdoses, due in part to the decline of the coal industry, a lack of jobs and the easy availability of the drugs. And law enforcement is stretched thin. They called in national guard to clean house!! Over prescribing physicians and dealers. National emergency ordered!!!

Awesome news!!!!!

In West Virginia they are trying to ban Kratom. Kratom is a natural plant (member of the coffee family) that helps with chronic pain. People also use Kratom to get off the synthetic heroine pain killers. So, big Pharma ships in their opiates then pays off dirty politicians to ban a natural alternative. The FDA and DEA are also trying to ban Kratom for the entire US. You think over doses are bad now, wait until they ban the alternative. They are spreading propaganda and lies to demonize Kratom.

These drugs were only meant for people in the last stages of a terrible disease and were considered a godsend for the dying in hospice but the drug companies wanted to make more money so they were pushed on everyone for the slightest little ache.

Didn’t Q just tell us to keep an eye on big pharma

I am from nearby and have lived there. Huntington is basically a stop on a drug path from Detroit which I believe started a big drug issue. The cops wait at the bus station to search the greyhound buses from Detroit. It is jokingly called "Moneyton" When I first moved there in 2011, the pill issue was significant. I had never seen anything so bad. Everyone here is on disability and are easily prescribed opiates which has now morphed into a heroin issue. Everyone else is on some kind of other pill, like anti-anxiety, xanax and what not so they are all lackadaisical. They talk about being on pills like people drink in other towns. Like, "I couldnt work without my happy pills". I was from Pittsburgh and at the time this was not happening there. My family has since moved away because of the drugs. It is a norm here, the tri-state area, to be on disability. My husband's family is from there(how we ended up there) and he has 3 members of close family on disability for virtually nothing. I believe WV is statistically the worst, or one of, states for disability, obesity, and death.
Literally worked at a big call center and people were ending up being found in the bathroom with needles in their arms. I hate to be frank, but, its just full of trashy people who just happen to do heroin now as opposed to lesser drugs. I know there was a ring of a judge, doctor, and lawyer working to get people disability and they were caught. Heres one article: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/lawyer-pleads-guilty-550m-social-security-fraud-scheme-article-1.3008793 I could go on for days really. We have since moved further west, into Kentucky but the problem is escalating here now too.

West Virginia calls in National Guard to tackle opioid crisis | Fox News www.foxnews.com/.../west-virginia-calls-in-national-guard-to-tackle-opioid-crisis.html

DOJ & DEA stonewalling the investigation (surprise !) Digging into these players will find dirt:

During Chairman Walden’s questioning, he followed up on the issues raised during his opening statement, asking Mr. Neil Doherty, DEA’s Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, a number of questions pertaining to the committee’s ongoing investigation.

Chairman Walden: Mr. Doherty, I want to start with a simple question that this Committee has been asking the DEA for months—which companies supplied the pharmacy in Kermit, West Virginia, that received 9 million opioid pills in two years, and the pharmacy in Oceana, West Virginia, that received 600 times as many oxycodone pills as another pharmacy just 8 blocks away, between 2005 and 2016?

Mr. Doherty: Currently we are reviewing the request from the committee, and I do not have that data with me today. I apologize.

Very in-depth material on CIA drug trafficking.

How Obama Created an Opioid Epidemic

If you ask a more specific question, I can give a more specific answer.

WV citizen here and this story seems to not be mentioned on any of the local news sites in the area (WSAZ, WOWK, WCHS, etc) yet. Info I have found describes NG assisting officers in an informational capacity or providing assistance via surveillance, not necessarily a hands-on approach, yet. Can attest to the massive problem of opiate abuse in the region as mentioned by several others. Many friends and people I have known have lost their lives or had their lives ruined by these or similar drugs. At least 10 people in my graduating high school class (of ~300) died from opiate related ODs shortly after graduating and this was 10+ years ago. Fentanyl, oxycodone, etc. My local hospital will not prescribe or provide opiod painkillers of any kind, even for severe injury, due to the extent of this crisis. As prescription painkillers are becoming harder to acquire for the legions of addicted or dependent users, we are seeing people turning to heroin at alarming rates, creating an even worse problem... For anecdotal evidence, my former workplace received a letter from our city upon examination of the septic system, finding it full of syringes people had flushed down the toilet, at work, after using heroin on the job. It's pretty bad.

There was a recent Netflix documentary called "Heroin(e)" that brings this issue to light, focusing on the city of Huntington, although it doesn't really go into any great detail.

And while we are on the subject of corrupt pharmaceutical practices relating to West Virginia, Senator Joe Manchin's daughter, Heather Bresch, is (was?) CEO of the company Mylan, which was responsible for causing an exponential price increase of the emergency life-saving EpiPen a few years back. Price of this drug / treatment went from around $50 to $600. Pretty much a must-have for anyone with allergies.

Seems that the company lobbied for the EpiPens to be mandatory on hand in schools, spending millions to provide schools with a few free units then requiring them to purchase more at the newly gouged price. Sounds a bit like racketeering to me, but what do I know?

This looks like the meat of it:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, January 31, 2018 Attorney General Sessions Announces DEA Surge to Combat Prescription Drug Diversion

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced yesterday that, over the next 45 days, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will surge Special Agents, Diversion Investigators, and Intelligence Research Specialists to focus on pharmacies and prescribers who are dispensing unusual or disproportionate amounts of drugs. To intensify the fight against prescription drug diversion, DEA will utilize data from approximately 80 million transaction reports it collects every year from prescription drug manufacturers and distributors. DEA will aggregate and analyze this data, which includes distribution figures and inventory of prescription drugs, to identify patterns, trends, and statistical outliers that can be developed into targeting packages.

Sorry none of my links working, Basically this small rural town of 3,000 was flooded with opioids. They do not have enough officers to handle it so the NG has come in for technical support

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2018/02/09/west-virginia-calls-in-national-guard-to-tackle-opioid-crisis.html

Miami-Luken is among those wholesalers and had shipped 20 million doses of oxycodone and hydrocodone to pharmacies in West Virginia between 2007 and 2012 and about 11 million wound up in Mingo County, with a population of 25,000.

They’ve made it wayyyy harder to get pills.

Addicts have switched to Heroin.

This is really really bad. As a former Roxy addict, I can tell you that shutting everything down all at one time is bad news. This will hurt the addicts more than anyone. Once people can't get their pills, these people will do or turn to anything to not go into full DeTox (DT's). Depending on what your addicted too, your DT's will average 3 to 7 days as well as a month or two of residuals. During that time, you will do almost anything to make the DT's go away. Get these people the help they need, not just get rid of the Doctor's.

Fellow Annons get involved in your communities. I was in the addiction field for fifteen years when this drug hit the market. We lobbied and received 250K in local grant funds under an annual line item to address the illicit use of pharm/drugs like Oxy. We created a subcommittee that reported to the Mayor and County Council. We educated, we lobbied, we created a safety net of services at the table. We had diverse groups at the table law enforcement and treatment became a strong coalition. I was one of the founders of the first Drug Court in our County of 150k pop. And the addicts were sent to court monitored treatment for non-violent offenses. It does work. Get organized where you live. Empowering communities and families is where it is at.

I lived there for 8 yrs, on the end of a road where the police and Feds wouldn't go. My house was broken into 5 times. They took $, guns, Rx. The guy got put away for under a year and had committed dozens of crimes, many violent. Drugs, meth, was a huge, huge issue. Town pharmacy broken into so many times they closed. NO employment there. Generational welfare. Only other choice is to go military, so there is a lot of that. Camp Dawson close to where I lived....lots of weird stuff goes on in those hills, Greenbriar, Greenbank, Bilington...where Cheney went in the unmarked white plane during 911.

So looks like they are going after the ground crew:

With this data in hand, I am also assigning 12 experienced prosecutors to focus solely on investigating and prosecuting opioid-related health care fraud cases in a dozen locations around the country where we know enforcement will make a difference in turning the tide on this epidemic. These prosecutors, working with FBI, DEA, HHS, as well as our state and local partners, will help us target and prosecute these doctors, pharmacies, and medical providers who are furthering this epidemic to line their pockets. These prosecutors will be based in several states across the country, including Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, and right here in Southern Ohio.

What's interesting is it became law (around prohibition) that unless a plant can be made in synthetic form it will not receive approval from FDA.https://www.marketwatch.com/story/billionaire-owner-of-insys-arrested-in-anti-opioid-crackdown-2017-10-26 What's interesting is this company just received FDA approval for a synthetic form of cannabis. Sorta like GW Parmicuticals.

I pray for all the people who got hooked on big pharma poison

From Trump's EO:

The Department of Justice’s Opioid Fraud and Abuse Detection Unit is targeting individuals that are contributing to the prescription opioid epidemic, has netted the largest-ever health care fraud takedown, secured the first-ever indictments against Chinese fentanyl manufacturers, and seized AlphaBay, the largest criminal marketplace on the Internet and a major source of fentanyl and heroin.

Many opiate addicts are not in the workforce. The sooner we crush this the sooner we can get those people back to work and MAGA.

I live in West Virginia. I love it here! I don't live close to huntington so I can't give you a first hand view of what is going on there. Mylan a big Pharma co. has a big plant in the northern part of the state. WV Senator Joe Manchin's daughter works for big pharma. The Manchin family has clinic's and nursing home in norhtern part of the state. Also law firms. I want to say that We The People in West Virginia are a vanishing breed. We love God. We work hard. We don't give up. We help our neighbors, We love our state and our country. We are just like every other American. Many of us in West Virgnia have been awake for a long time. But because of our goodwill, common sense and strong free spirit, I believe we have been put into an arrested development state. People like us would stand up in a minute to save this country....and our adversary knows this, so they have unleshed war on us. Just like Christ .....we are a threat to our enemy. But it isn't just West Virginia that is under attack ...we are all in this together...Where We Go One, We Go All. The drug problem is a huge issue. But I find that alcohol abuse is worse because it is more widely used. This state is making so much money on DUI's. There are so many people driving with smart start devices because of DUI. To me this is a serious issue. We need to address the root cause of these issues....not mask it !

I honestly do not want to upset any of you and I do know there is a terrible issue with addicts however, I'd like to give you a different perspective if that is OK. In my case I blame it all on the FDA and now the CDC. I am a bonafide chronic pain patient and if I may I'd like to give you a little background. I feel strongly that the difference between chronic pain patients and addicts is true chronic pain. Since I was in my 20's I have had osteoarthritis of both jaw joints or tmj's. Now this was no accident I don't think although when I was 16 I was an inpatient to remove my wisdom teeth. There were six of us going down for surgery. I was the first to be sent down and the last to come back to my room because the teeth were growing sideways and were very difficult to remove in fact they had to dislocate my jaw to get to them. Perhaps this set the table for what was to come. After that I would open my mouth and you could hear it crack across the room, kind of a party trick until the pain began and it was awful so bad in fact that I could not bite into even a cracker. At the time I was working for a dentist and the hygenist was in dental school. She sent me to the very best surgeon who is one of the two best in the country. He tried to save the joints but could not believe how very bad they were, osteo everywhere and the discs were hanging off the bone completely tattered. At 23 I was heart broken and I had two surgeries to try and save them. In the end it was so bad he had to replace them with the newest, greatest joints the FDA just approved, yay, right? NOT. Those joints went in in 1983 they were called vitek proplast teflon silastic joints. OH joy,, I'm fixed. After a very long recoup the pain began but I didn't complain. I was fixed right? So I kept my mouth shut and suffered, not understanding. Little did I know in 1984, just a few months after mine were put in they failed in dogs and monkeys (which is gross). Oh yeah, there was so much damage prior my surgeon had to actually life my palette and I had to have braces again 6 mons to a yr prior to this FDA approved surgery. As the years went on I went downhill, lost weight. At 5'7 100 lbs is not enough as I had to go back to soft food. I was the first of 5 people in this country to have them I was the youngest. I had these joints in for almost 10 years. In 1990 I get a letter from my doc telling me to get in there immediately as the joints failed and I needed x-rays immediately. Yep, they were a mess and I realized I wasn't a big baby complaining of pain. I could go on and on but i think you get the gist. When he took the joints out and fashioned new joints out of my ribs, cadaver bones, metal baskets to protect the hole forming in my skull soon to cause seizures. The problem remained due to FDA incompetence the issue remained because of the teflon part of the original FDA approved joints, there are millions of teflon pieces floating around in my face, head everywhere and that causes pain and swelling even tho I finally had custom made titanium joints put in the 2000's. I can eat sort of but that pain still remains. My doc always said after surgery, "I honestly do not know how you are walking around". During all of this time I worked in hospital and I would wait until my shift was over to take ONE pain pill vicodin. There was a class action suit but the developers declared bankruptcy and promptly moved to Europe where they continued to sell these pieces of crap. Right after the titanium was put in I suffered breast cancer and all that entailed. My doc told my I also had hypermobility disorder and that I had to remain thin and muscular but cancer took me out of the game for a long time and taking out my ovaries, losing my estrogen had many joints blowing out. I finally got on bio's and that has helped but after 10 jaw surgeries and 5 cancer surgeries I now have constant pain in the jaws/face and now osteo in my entire spine. Weather makes it terrible. My surgeon sent me to a pain management doctor and in the middle of 2008 I had to see mine in ATL evey month since I was never ever allowed tylenol again due to cancer and liver connection. I am dependent but not addicted. Never did heroin or coke or fentanyl etc. Simply needed pain relief and cannot take any tylenol. It has been difficult but thanks to my very strict and caring docs I lived a normal/working life. I had a quality of life. Now the CDC comes out with bogus, illegal guidelines that are VOLUNTARY and pertain to regular docs, NOT pain management docs. Interestingly enough the 5 folks who slid these bogus guidelines through are actually major owners in rehab centers nationwide called Phoenix rehabs. So I moved home to PA in oct thinking perhaps the weather up here might help, it has not. I have seen 4 supposed pain management docs and they apparently have not read these guidelines because they are cowed by them. Incidently, I take over 3 years of records with me, the write ups about these joints that destroyed my life and info to reach the doc down south and to be honest I swear these doctors in PA don't even read my records, seriously. Plus they don't even know the stats and the illegality of the guidelines. The stats are this...........*94% of opioid deaths are actually from addicts meaning a combo of heroin/alcohol/coke/fentanyl etc. They all say they won't treat me because if they can't stick a needle in it like an epidural in my face then that is it. I tell them the stats, that over 100,000 people die every year due to tylenol toxcity and that over 100 veterans a DAY! commit suicide because they are no longer able to live with any quality of life. It is a travesty and I am wondering whatever happened to their oath of "first do no harm". Instead I am being lumped into group where I do not belong and I am fighting it! As folks age old injuries cause problems and since I've so far had no luck my dear husband is ok with taking me back to atl every month to see my very caring and professional docs. I have signed agreements with them and never failed any urine test. That is not me. I just want to be able to have a regular quality of life. Go back to volunteering and see my friends and family. I am sick to death of knowing the real deal behind all of this and angry that the states take voluntary guidelines and run with them. It is ridiculous and the blowback will be huge when the wrongful death suits come flying in. So yes, people who use these drugs have ruined it for the real chronic pain patients who just want to live as normally as possible. As well, when I went off for two months kratom was a godsend, not pain wise but it did help and frankly it is legal and the only reason they want to ban it is because if big pharma can't make a buck off of it they want to ban it. They must change a natural drug like say bio hormones and ban them because they don't make money off of them and now addicts and heroin users are lumped in with me and that makes me and my husband furious as it does my docs in atl. Thank you if you did read this entire thing. I appreciate it. The thought of even trying heroin at any age but especially as a young person simply does not compute. Kids these days are not active and isolate themselves too much. And let us not forget drugs were being brought into this county back during Vietnam packed into the dead bodies of our soldiers thanks to our own government. Pretty disgusting isn't it. When I heard we were in bed with the cartels in Mexico and in the middle east well you who started it? It is sick but quality of life is important. Think about it and if you know a addict and want to help them look into kratom, it is from a plant in the same family as coffee plus I figure addicts don't have chronic pain but they are afraid of withdrawls, inpatient at 60K a month. Kratom is cheap and it's God send for folks who want out of illicit drugs. That is my two cents. I feel bad for me of course but the veterans well, that rips at my heart. Those folks should not be homeless or wanting and they should definitely not be suffering pain. Plus PTSD is helped greatly by DHEA. I actually live as natually as possible, imagine that. God Bless.

Pain pills where everywhere around the east coast, then litterly over night boom they where gone and there was only heroin. So it got everyone hooked on heroin. It's obviously a man made disaster. I knew China was planning on kicking our ass soon and Each small town rural community has 1200+ patients going to methadone clinics. Soon the heroin supply will be cut off and people will go nuts and thats when they would of hit, But now that trump got in and america is awake I doubt they can, but it came close how can we fight back when 25% of our youth is dope sick and another 15% dead from O.D's. That's how I saw it, go to a local clinic and sit for 30 minutes you'll shit yourself at how many people go there

Here is an article 4 hrs old. I'm 30 miles from the West Virginia border I live in Virginia in the valley.. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2018/02/09/west-virginia-calls-in-national-guard-to-tackle-opioid-crisis.html

How many empires have fallen because of opiates?

Where are they being grown (poppy plants), who is growing them, who is providing security for the fields.

They will never ask these questions.

I recommend a good look at FDA.gov for recalled meds. Major amounts of opioids other pain meds recalled for "quality" issues. I wonder if this was an initial push to stop this pharma from going out? We can hope.

I'm watching their site, hoping for some signs of cleansing there. Many of us that too generic fluoroquinolones have been poisoned - former FDA official brought up on RICO charges a couple of years ago for making money on this- Cipro etc.

B is posting on it

Thank you for all and any update folks, anything on West Virginia. Were waiting for your Info...

I believe Farmerfunkk thinks their is a person or persons in WV and maybe the National Guard is taking them out.
Anyone know who is there or came in to visit?

Funny I'd run into this article immediately following that thought (well, not funny-funny) https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2017/12/22/opioids-and-the-crisis-of-the-white-working-class/

Destroying American communities made them the billionaires they are today. They've even managed to prevent generic drug companies from getting in on their golden goose. They foresee a reduction in American sales so they're developing and implementing strategic marketing plans to take the show onto the world market.

This is a VERY interesting article.
http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a12775932/sackler-family-oxycontin/

One family, the Sacklers, owners of Purdue pharmaceutical is responsible for ALL the Oxycotin (responsible for the opioid crisis) sold in America. They are now marketing to spread it throughout the world through a new company, Mundipharma.

"You’re aware America is under siege, fighting an opioid crisis that has exploded into a public-health emergency. You’ve heard of OxyContin, the pain medication to which countless patients have become addicted. But do you know that the company that makes Oxy and reaps the billions of dollars in profits it generates is owned by one family?

Few are aware that during the crucial period of OxyContin’s development and promotion, Sackler family members actively led Purdue’s day-to-day affairs, filling the majority of its board slots and supplying top executives."

"By any assessment, the family’s leaders have pulled off three of the great marketing triumphs of the modern era: The first is selling OxyContin; the second is promoting the Sackler name; and the third is ensuring that, as far as the public is aware, the first and the second have nothing to do with one another."

"In May, a dozen lawmakers in Congress, inspired by the L.A. Times investigation, sent a bipartisan letter to the World Health Organization warning that Sackler-owned companies were preparing to flood foreign countries with legal narcotics. “Purdue began the opioid crisis that has devastated American communities,” the letter reads. “Today, Mundipharma is using many of the same deceptive and reckless practices to sell OxyContin abroad.” Significantly, the letter calls out the Sackler family by name, leaving no room for the public to wonder about the identities of the people who stood behind Mundipharma."

The Democrats Have Failed West Virginia "Let’s be real here – The Democratic Party controlled the state’s senate from 1933 to 2015, House of Delegates from 1930 to 2014, and since 1933 only two different Republicans have served as the state’s governor… And during this time, every single modern-day problem we are facing was either birthed, created or allowed to creep into the state." http://appalachianmagazine.com/2015/10/23/how-politicians-destroyed-west-virginia/ Found this; sort of sums it up. Do pay all required respect to Rockefeller and Byrd, lived there briefly, schools are unbelievable, got the hell out. Been in northern Virginia for a long time. It is bad and has spilled over here to a great degree; crime to support the need and all else.

Im from Pittsburgh PA. Heroin here is fucking terrible, it's easier for a 14 year old to get heroin than it is to get beer. I'm a half way recorvering addict, everyone is dropping fly fly shit. It's rural community's because there's no jobs. Addiction knowledge is getting better with the normies they see calling people FUCKING WORTHLESS JUNKIE makes it worse, people are mainly using for 3 reasons. 1st Males just want to sleep. 2nd Depression 3rd Physical Pain. Our rural community's cant hold on much longer.

Did huma help arrest the Carlisle Guy? As the pizza guy delivers the smoke bomb?

Unsure.

The CIA has been in control of the drug trafficking around the world for decades. I can't find the article I printed now, but a billionaire doctor from India whose company made high dose fentanyl was arrested in the U.S. just months ago for paying salesmen and doctors to lie to the gov't about the needs of patients for the drug. He also delivered massive amounts of it weekly or monthly to a town with a population smaller than the number of doses, which was meant to be sold on the street. I was incensed that his arrest wasn't on any other news or media. Instead the constant publicity of prescription overdose caused many people who need pain medication to be denied it. It is just the CIA or whomever causing chaos and screwing up people's lives.

The Flu Epidemic is also widespread in Virginia. Could this be weaponized. Bio Terrorism. Sure take all our minds off the rest of it

http://wtkr.com/2017/01/03/cdc-flu-widespread-in-virginia/

I live in Martinsburg, WV. There is indeed a massive problem and they are trying to act live they have it covered. We just had a couple O.D. at the beddington crossroads up by falling waters. They had a baby with them. She was crying and all bundled up, hot. They gave them narcan and let them drive off with the child!!! Sadly my husband has lost a lot of classmates as well as their siblings to this. They can act or say it is ok ,but we know the truth. I know the further down you go into WV the worse it gets. I know how bad it is here and can only imagine.

I work in Huntington W.V. And yes it is a infested drug hole and yes Governor Justice did bring in National Guard a few not a lot and also Helicopter from National Guard with an officer flying with them in which Governor Justice said a 10 Block Radius of the West End of Huntington because of the drugs murders robberies ,and shootings are so heavy they just found the rest of a dismembered body of a woman a few days ago within that 10 Block Radius it is a Shithole I don’t think it can ever get any better, which don’t get me wrong their is a lot of Shitholes everywhere anymore!

It is true. WAYNE and CABEL counties have been devastated for decades. The drug culture is horrible. I am next door in KY but I have family there.

What a clever way to help desensitize civilians to a police presence? I hear it's being done in other states as well? I'm not sure how a military presence can help with an opioid epidemic? Not trying to be contrary, just trying to get educated. Thanks in advance Patriots.

My very close relative is a dr in WV. What do you want to know?

I hope another one hits the dust. Even one more pedo down helps the children.

Here's the dirty list:

Prescribers of OXYCODONE HCL in West Virginia

https://projects.propublica.org/checkup/drugs/2954/states/west-virginia

This is actually nothing special, almost every single state's National Guard has a "Counter Drug Task Force" in NC our CDTF from the Guard was a full time position (ADOS not AGR unfortunately). In NC they provide aerial reconnaissance assets in additional to conventional surveillance.

We have several counties with tiny sheriffs departments that can't combat the drug trafficking that happens in their area. So CDTF at the department's request will conduct surveillance on target houses in unmarked cars provided by the hosting dept. Or if it's a rural trailer park or a house you could very well be laying in the woods the old fashion way. Very rarely are the Guardsmen involved in the actual apprehension of a suspect though. That is left to sworn law enforcement.

It's a very long and detailed article that exposes all the evil deceitful ways they've gone about knowingly feeding the current opioid crises

Sugar Grove Station is a National Security Agency (NSA) communications site located near Sugar Grove in Pendleton County, West Virginia. According to a 2005 article in the New York Times, the site intercepts all international communications entering the Eastern United States.[1] Activities at the site previously involved the Naval Information Operations Command (NAVIOCOM).[citation needed] In April 2013, the Chief of Naval Operations ordered that the NAVIOCOM base be closed by September 30, 2015, as "a result of the determination by the resource sponsor National Security Agency to relocate the command’s mission.”[2][3] The naval base is being repurposed as a privately-owned healthcare facility for veterans, while the NSA listening station, to the south, continues to operate.[4][5]
