Meet The Sackler Family

in #informationwar5 years ago

YouTube user by the name of Dagogo Altraide has put up at his ColdFusion channel, an excellent documentary that can cast a new light on the widespread notion of narco lords…



The name of Sackler Family, billionaire owners of Purdue farmaceutical company, is not hidden from public. But their “business practice” was well hidden under the ‘philantropic’ label planted all over corporate media, and reports on their donations to universities and museums . Those rare texts that has revealed their criminal behaviour (like for example At Daily Mail, at Zero Hedge, or at our @titusfrost, were easily clobbered by the ‘humanitarian’ work that was advertised through MSM.

The story of “opioid crisis as a public health emergency” broke into the public discourse when President Donald Trump has mentioned it in one of his speechees. It was then revealed that opioids killed more Americans in 2016 than in the entirety of the Vietnam War, at an estimated death rate of 64,070 overdose deaths. Every year since the beginning of Century had a rise in the number of victims, with the dramatic worsening in the last few years:

True, not all of them are going to Sackler’s tab, but it is estimated that they are responsible for at least 200,000 lives since 1997. It is hard to tell how many millions of lives were damaged thanks to these ‘philantropists’…
