Premium Episode 76: Opioids Are The Real Plandemic
Ranging back to the late 1800's, pharmaceutical giants have been conspiring to distribute addictive drugs to the unknowing public. But if there's a poster boy villain for the entire opioid crisis, it's certainly Purdue Pharma, responsible for lying to regulators, doctors, patients and the general public — resulting in ongoing mass casualties since the 1990's. Travis leads us through a dizzying process of flimsy patent laws, PR spin and even the monitoring and targeting of high-prescribing doctors in states where record-keeping wasn't required.

I am 100% behind Q. He's working for the President.
The president is working for our country.
Alien life, like pedophiles, you know, and it just seeks to tie all of that together.
Welcome, listeners, to the 76th premium chapter of the QAnon Anonymous podcast.
The opioids are the real pandemic episode.
As always, we are your hosts, Jake Rakitansky, Julian Fields, and Travis Vu.
This week we delve into the other medical crisis, a COVID-19 type substance that was definitely
made in a lab and then spread on purpose to infect the population, granting them unending cravings
and a one-way ticket to the land of hungry ghosts. I'm talking of course of the opioid crisis,
a less cool version of reefer madness where we just sent way too many joints to West Virginia
and everyone ended up stoned to death.
We've got Travis Few on the case.
you'll be taking a look at how Big Pharma makes the cartels look disorganized.
The Opioid Pandemic I am asking our residents to please call and let us know if
you know of a location that this poison is being pushed out to our streets.
I As we grapple with the pandemic, there has been a huge uptick in medical misinformation and conspiracy theories.
Everyone's brains have been marinating in fear and uncertainty and out came gushing just nonsense and confusion and dumb, dumb things.
So there's been a lot of misinformation around potential treatments for COVID-19.
Now, the most popular one going around is that hydroxychloroquine.
Trump has been pushing this.
Everyone knows a high dose of OxyContin works way better.
Yeah, right.
They were saying that this is allegedly a treatment for the virus, but the reason why they're saying it's not is actually because like big pharma and the medical establishment are trying to suppress it as a cure because it's cheap and whatever.
And I don't think that's true, but I do believe in Big Pharma conspiracy theories.
I don't think it's controversial at all to say that Big Pharma lies about their product in order to make money.
That's a batter of recorded history.
Nasty, nasty claims.
So for this episode, I'm not going to do any debunking.
So instead, I want to talk about the real big pharma conspiracy.
And like a lot of real conspiracies, it's not one I've never ever really seen touted by people who fancy themselves conspiracy theorists.
This all relates to the opioid crisis that ravaged the United States starting in the late 90s and continues to harm people to this day.
And by that I mean the dramatic rise in people who became addicted or were killed by painkillers such as oxycodone, heroin, or fentanyl.
So I'm going to be using many sources for this episode, which I'll link to in the show notes, but the most eye-opening article for me was one that appeared in the Harvard Law and Policy Review called The Opioid Epidemic, Fixing a Broken Pharmaceutical Market.
It really laid out just the string of failures that happened over and over and over again that led to this crisis.
So, a fundamental cause of the epidemic was, and continues to be, an overprescription of pharmaceutical opioids.
From 2000 to 2010, the number of prescriptions for oral opioid analgesics, which is the medical term for painkiller, rose 104%.
In 2015 alone, U.S.
doctors wrote approximately 300 million opioid prescriptions, more than one for every adult in the country.
In West Virginia alone, drug distributors shipped 780 million hydrocodone and oxycodone pills from 2007 to 2012.
hydrocodone and oxycodone pills from 2007 to 2012.
That is 433 pain pills for every man, woman and child in the state.
I didn't get shit.
What the fuck?
Who are my pills going to?
Are they going to you?
You need to move to West Virginia, have an accident at work, and then contact a doctor.
Yeah, right.
They'll hook you up.
Here's the thing.
If you happen to only live in states with stronger regulations against these kinds of prescriptions, you might have had a harder time getting this because, as we'll see, they specifically targeted primarily red states that had low regulations in order to maximize their profits.
Yeah, they know that California's gonna buy from Gary in West Virginia.
And the bag of oxy's gonna come that way, and it's gonna be distributed, or whatever.
But the point is, this episode is highly related to Q. Because it looks like almost everybody who got pilled in these fucking new documentaries coming out, like, had an accident of some sort, and ended up on fucking high-strength painkillers.
Right.
So what they were doing here is distributing the original red pill.
I would argue this is the pink pill.
The pink pill is distributed by opioid manufacturers, and then you go on YouTube and you take the red pill.
That's how it works.
Now, as people became addicted to the prescription opioids, they often discovered that the pharmaceutical stuff was too difficult to obtain.
So addicts wound up turning to heroin instead.
According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, four out of five people who try heroin today started with prescription painkillers.
The most recent figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that 145 Americans now die every single day from opioid overdoses.
I'm going to argue also that when you're on these opioids, you just feel so damn kind of good and floaty.
It almost mimics the response your body might have if you find something true and revealing and interesting.
Oh, and you feel like you're raising to a higher level of consciousness, maybe?
Yeah, a great awakening, if you will.
So we watch QAnon stuff and we're like, this makes no sense.
It's weird.
The pacing is off.
But have we tried it on opioids?
That's a good point.
It might be like incredible.
It might actually be one of those 3D glasses you just needed to put them on and then suddenly everything falls into place.
Now, what makes the opioid epidemic doubly tragic is that it didn't happen by accident.
It happened primarily because of a conspiracy, I would argue.
Specifically, it happened because of a conspiracy by the pharmaceutical giant Purdue Pharma.
What happened was, in the 90s, Purdue Pharma, in its quest to profit from its patented prescription opioid OxyContin, lied to regulators, lied to doctors, lied to patients, and influenced medical organizations in order to sell as many of the habit-forming pills as they could.
The end result was a nation with a massive addiction problem, but also billions in profit
for Purdue Pharma.
