Cortisone VS Covid-19: Italian Neurologist’s Therapy Negleted before Oxford Tests: 8 thousand Deaths in Italy for OMS Fault?

« I was in Intensive Care Unit for 7 years , I studied Medicine breathing thanks to a tracheoctomy ( incision of the throat with the insertion of a cannula – ed ) .
I struggled for a long time before going back to breathing normally .
For this reason I can not accept that a patient dies suffocated by Myasthenia gravis which thanks to Cortisone , with an ad personam cure created by me because there is no effective formula for everyone , I was able to “ switch off ” in myself and in other 7 thousand patients @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experienced the CoronaVirus pandemic with concern , fearing that their fragility could expose them to serious risks .
So I decided to intensify the treatments with my beloved Dexamethasone .
All the cases cure are healed , none died » .
An interview is not enough for Dr. Roberta Ricciardi , a commendation is not enough .
A monument would be needed : to your patience .
Her shy and modest character as a pragmatic and volcanic Tuscan people , in doing more than appearing , during the emergency kept her away from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Walter Ricciardi preyed , before resigning as president of the Superior Health Institute of Rome ( ISS ) after an investigation by Le Jene on its at least suspicious relations with some pharmaceutical companies and with a lobbying company ( link at the bottom of the page ) .
Since the other day , Dr. Walter became scientific director of the Maugeri Scientific Clinical Institutes while Dr. Roberta , neurologist , at 65 years old , with the health marked by her “ off ” pathology but destined to accompany her throughout her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it has been waiting for 30 years for its excellence clinic of the Myasthenia and Thymus Surgery Path in the Pisan University Hospital , confined to two rooms , to have spaces and staffing facilities adequate to treat the over 10 thousand Italian patients of this pathology .
A disease as rare as potentially life-threatening if not treated in time , just like the infection of the new CoronaVirus strain .
But above all , the specialist Ricciardi has been waiting for exactly two months for a response from the Italian Minister of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the appeal she made with 33 other Italian doctors « on the need to promote suddenly and early adoption ( at the beginning of the symptoms suspected respiratory ) compared to today ’ s practice , of a simple effective anti-inflammatory therapy such as medium or high dosage associated with Cortisone , with drugs with probable anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity such as Chloroquine and Enoxaparin to prevent serious thrombotic complications like CID .
This therapy , it should be emphasized , can be carried out in the home environment » .
That ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ engulfed and piloted by Big Pharmas which , after repeated sentences of condemnation in the world , can be candidly defined as “ habitual offenders ” .
Now in Italy we can begin to wonder about the mystery of dexamethasone used by very few doctors and to ask ourselves if the absent-minded Dicastery of Health has not named the “ wrong Ricciardi ” in the WHO .
In fact , between April 24 and June 23 , 8,706 positive people died at Covid-19 in Italian peninsula .
The causal link with the deaths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ISS thanks to the medical records , since autopsies were carried out in very few cases although they proved to be fundamental to discover those hyper-immune reactions with thrombosis and massive pulmonary embolisms that led to new healing choices .
How many of the victims could have been saved with cortisone therapy ?
This question should take sleep away to the Italian health authorities and to the Minister Speranza who is gloating over the European agreement signed with other countries on the imminent vaccine : it will be distributed in Italy in collaboration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Bill Gates , as we will reveal very soon in reportage 15 of the WuhanGates cycle .
« I ’ m not interested in politics , I ’ m so committed to treating my patients and responding to patient emails » replies the Pisan specialist to our provocation on this huge delay in response that becomes macroscopic by rereading her first interview on the anti-Covid cortisone published on April 2 from the newspaper La Nazione of Florence .
N or does he want to linger in the story of his dramatic story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a pathology that for an auto-immune hyperreaction invalidates the connection between the nervous system and muscles compromising their mobility , on which he wrote various books .
In the past she was also invited to talk about it at the Costanzo Show ( Italian historical top talk-show ) and was the protagonist of the beautiful Italian TV ’ s TG2 report that we propose .
Doctor Roberta won her war for herself and then for her patients thanks to the prodigious cortisone formula she herself created as in “ Lorenzo ’ s oil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon referring to the true story of the Italian-American child sick of ALD , the adrenoleukodystrophy that devours the myelin destroying the nervous system and leading to death , surviving up to 30 years thanks to the mixture of monounsaturated triglycerides discovered , tested and produced by his father Augusto Odone .
In a long telephone chat about the medical battles of yesterday and today , we manage to steal a wonderful secret in reference to Dr. Roberta ’ s devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes .
« @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has always been indispensable for me to endure my terrible ordeal as a young girl .
And then to always find the strength and love necessary to help the infinite sick who needed to be treated by me » .
The curtain of personal privacy falls here as the spotlight on the therapy against Covid-19 comes on which she has been shouting at all the health authorities for months , although unheeded with the exception of a few health facilities .
« Coronavirus involves the respiratory system and the most serious complication is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
That ’ s why I thought that using cortisone could slow down this dangerous process » says the neurologist » .
« A patient of mine in Brescia fell ill with an important form of Coronavirus , so much so that I needed a respirator and I immediately collaborated with colleagues from the Brescia hospital .
At my request , they shared the idea of increasing cortisone therapy in progress and the improvement was rapid , with the patient who was transferred home yesterday » she declared to La Nazione on 2 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Il Giornale .
« The Lombardy Region has included Methylprednisolone , mainly used in the ASST Papa Giovanni XXIII of Bergamo , in the protocol of guidelines to support clinicians who have adapted them to the specific needs of individual patients .
At the same time , cortisone therapy was also included in the Coronavirus treatment protocol in Crema , San Giuseppe in Milan , Spallanzani in Rome and Trieste .
I would prefer to use Dexamethasone in medium-high dosages but Methylprednisolone is also an excellent cortisone .
I also believe that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and that they can act as protector » .
But in Italy , as in the rest of the world , it was preferred to direct clinical trials on the anti-viral Remdisivir , experimented ( unsuccessfully ) to cure Ebola by Gilead , the big pharma to which we dedicated the WuhanGate 5 reportage because it was participated by George Soros ( donors Dem like Gates ) , foraged by the US Department , CIA partner in USAID projects and accused by Russia of causing the death of 79 human guinea pigs for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top-secret military laboratory in Georgia run by the agency DTRA of the Pentagon .
It was one of the 24 reports made by Gospa News to highlight the murky world of bacteriological research with a “ dual-use ” potential , ie vaccine-therapeutic but also virus-military , in the light of the now 15 scientists who claim that SARS-CoV -2 was created in the laboratory with molecular biological engineering as lastly also supported by the former head of British intelligence MI6 .
In Naples and other cities , however , the Tolicizumab had been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be as effective as it is dangerous for the high risk of hepatitis such as to require liver transplantation and even for the possibility of anaphylactic shock ( test data clinical ) .

The authoritative website specializing in Medicine www.medrxiv.org has just published the conclusion of the “Recovery Trial” tested by a research group of the Oxford University who has confirmed the effectiveness of an easy and cheap therapy with Cortisone to defeat Covid-19 (or SARS-CoV-2).
This method was initially tested by a brilliant Italian neurologist, but both the government of Rome and the World Health Organization neglected it because first, in March, the French minister Olivier Veron and then the WHO itself had advised against the use of this drug for the treatment of infected patients.
How many deaths could have been avoided between March and June? An international inquiry should answer this question…
This is the abstract of the research just published.
«Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with diffuse lung damage. Corticosteroids may modulate immune-mediated lung injury and reducing progression to respiratory failure and death. Methods: The Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 therapy (RECOVERY) trial is a randomized, controlled, open-label, adaptive, platform trial comparing a range of possible treatments with usual care in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. We report the preliminary results for the comparison of dexamethasone 6 mg given once daily for up to ten days vs. usual care alone. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality».
«Results: 2104 patients randomly allocated to receive dexamethasone were compared with 4321 patients concurrently allocated to usual care. Overall, 454 (21.6%) patients allocated dexamethasone and 1065 (24.6%) patients allocated usual care died within 28 days (age-adjusted rate ratio [RR] 0.83; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.74 to 0.92; P<0.001). The proportional and absolute mortality rate reductions varied significantly depending on level of respiratory support at randomization (test for trend p<0.001): Dexamethasone reduced deaths by one-third in patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (29.0% vs. 40.7%, RR 0.65 [95% CI 0.51 to 0.82]; p<0.001), by one-fifth in patients receiving oxygen without invasive mechanical ventilation (21.5% vs. 25.0%, RR 0.80 [95% CI 0.70 to 0.92]; p=0.002), but did not reduce mortality in patients not receiving respiratory support at randomization (17.0% vs. 13.2%, RR 1.22 [95% CI 0.93 to 1.61]; p=0.14)».
«Conclusions: In patients hospitalized with COVID-19, dexamethasone reduced 28-day mortality among those receiving invasive mechanical ventilation or oxygen at randomization, but not among patients not receiving respiratory support».
This conclusion highlights what has already been explained in our interview with the Italian neurologist Roberta Ricciardi who first experimented with the drug on his patients with Myasthenia who have already been treated with corticosteroids habitually and remarked on by Professor Piero Sestili, Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Urbino: Dexamethasone treatment works best if initiated at the first symptoms.
In fact, Oxford reaffirms its effectiveness but not without artificial ventilation and therefore with the need for hospitalization. While the experiments carried out by Dr. Ricciardi and then adopted in other hospitals have demonstrated their effectiveness in-home care as we will illustrate in the next interview with a cured patient from Lombardy.
THE ITALIAN DISCOVERY (posted on June, 24)
«I was in Intensive Care Unit for 7 years, I studied Medicine breathing thanks to a tracheotomy (incision of the throat with the insertion of a cannula – ed). I struggled for a long time before going back to breathing normally. For this reason, I cannot accept that a patient dies suffocated by Myasthenia gravis which thanks to Cortisone, with an ad personal cure created by me because there is no effective formula for everyone, I was able to “switch off” in myself and in other 7 thousand patients I follow. This is why I experienced the CoronaVirus pandemic with concern, fearing that their fragility could expose them to serious risks. So I decided to intensify the treatments with my beloved Dexamethasone. All the cases cure are healed, none died».
An interview is not enough for Dr. Roberta Ricciardi, a commendation is not enough. A monument would be needed: to your patience. Her shy and modest character as a pragmatic and volcanic Tuscan people, in doing more than appearing, during the emergency kept her away from the spotlight under which her namesake Dr. Walter Ricciardi preyed, before resigning as president of the Superior Health Institute of Rome (ISS) after an investigation by Le Jene on its at least suspicious relations with some pharmaceutical companies and with a lobbying company (link at the bottom of the page).
He was among the gurus who in Rome suggested the guidelines in the emergency from Covid-19 for his role as representative of Italy on the Executive Committee of the World Health Organization. That same WHO that in mid-March had rejected the treatment with Cortisone except to exhume it in recent days. The scientific anticipation of June 16 on the 2,000 patients cured by Oxford University with Dexamethasone, a steroid anti-inflammatory of the cortisone family, has re-launched therapy in the Italian media that previously massacred it on a WHO input (Fanpage 17-3.2020). Few of the newspapers, however, remembered to remember that the Italian specialist had arrived at the same happy intuition …
Since the other day, Dr. Walter became scientific director of the Maugeri Scientific Clinical Institutes while Dr. Roberta, neurologist, at 65 years old, with the health marked by her “off” pathology but destined to accompany her throughout her life as in all other ills, it has been waiting for 30 years for its excellence clinic of the Myasthenia and Thymus Surgery Path in the Pisan University Hospital, confined to two rooms, to have spaces and staffing facilities adequate to treat the over 10 thousand Italian patients of this pathology. A disease as rare as potentially life-threatening if not treated in time, just like the infection of the new CoronaVirus strain.
But above all, the specialist Ricciardi has been waiting for exactly two months for a response from the Italian Minister of Health Roberto Speranza (Democratic Party) to the appeal she made with 33 other Italian doctors «on the need to promote suddenly and early adoption (at the beginning of the symptoms suspected respiratory) compared to today’s practice, of a simple effective anti-inflammatory therapy such as medium or high dosage associated with Cortisone, with drugs with probable anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity such as Chloroquine and Enoxaparin to prevent serious thrombotic complications like CID. This therapy, it should be emphasized, can be carried out in the home environment».
That’s life! Especially in the healthcare world engulfed and piloted by Big Pharmas which, after repeated sentences of condemnation in the world, can be candidly defined as “habitual offenders”. Now in Italy we can begin to wonder about the mystery of dexamethasone used by very few doctors and to ask ourselves if the absent-minded Dicastery of Health has not named the “wrong Ricciardi” in the WHO. In fact, between April 24 and June 23, 8,706 positive people died at Covid-19 in the Italian peninsula.

How many of the victims could have been saved with cortisone therapy?
This question should take sleep away to the Italian health authorities and to Minister Speranza who is gloating over the European agreement signed with other countries on the imminent vaccine: it will be distributed in Italy in collaboration with a pharmaceutical giant company controlled obviously by Bill Gates, as we will reveal very soon in reportage 15 of the WuhanGates cycle.

Huge Saharan Dust Cloud Could Bring Hazy Skies, Spectacular Sunsets to the United States

An enormous plume of dust from the Saharan desert has blown 5,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean and will likely reach the Gulf Coast by the middle of this week, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Every year, winds carry about 800 million metric tons of dust from North Africa across the Atlantic coast, a phenomenon known as the Saharan Air Layer, according to a statement from NASA’s Earth Observatory. So this plume isn’t altogether unusual—but “the size and visible impact of this particular plume makes it stand out,” reports Amanda Kooser for CNET.

Archaeologists Discover Enormous Ring of Ancient Pits Near Stonehenge
by Theresa Machemer/Smithsonianmag.com
Stonehenge is arguably the most well-known megalith in the United Kingdom. But the structures surrounding this roughly 5,000-year-old monument boast equally fascinating histories. Take, for instance, Durrington Walls, a large Neolithic hedge located just under two miles northeast of its more famous neighbor. Though prehistoric humans likely used Stonehenge as a sacred place for ceremonies and burials, Durrington Walls was where they actually lived and feasted together.
Now, new research published in the journal Internet Archaeology reveals another layer of this historic landscape. Deep pits dot the area surrounding Durrington Walls, creating a mile-wide circle centered on the stone monument. Archaeologists had previously identified several of the anomalies, but a renewed round of remote-sensing testing and ground sampling showed that the pits—buried under layers of loose clay that accumulated over time—are deeper and more deliberately placed than once thought.
At one point, the Neolithic site may have hosted more than 30 such shafts, reports Vanessa Romo for NPR. Today, at least 20 remain. Each pit measures roughly 30 feet wide and 15 feet deep.

veteranstoday--2020-06-24--Improvements Needed for Antibody Tests in COVID-19 ResponseCOVID

Experts identify steps to expand and improve antibody tests in COVID-19 response More than 300 scientists and clinicians from the federal government , industry and academia published a report of their conclusions and recommendations on COVID-19 serology studies online in Immunity .
The group gathered for an online workshop in May to discuss the role of serology testing in understanding and responding to the COVID-19 public health crisis and to explore strategies to address key scientific knowledge opportunities and gaps in the emerging field .
Serology tests for COVID-19 are designed to detect antibodies ( link is external ) against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
While such tests do not diagnose active infection , they can indicate prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 that may have been missed because a person did not experience significant symptoms or access testing while infected .
The COVID-19 Serology Studies workshop was convened by an interagency working group comprised of experts from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services — including scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) , the National Cancer Institute ( NCI ) , and the National Heart , Lung and Blood Institute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ National Institutes of Health , as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority — and the Department of Defense .

More than 300 scientists and clinicians from the federal government, industry and academia published a report of their conclusions and recommendations on COVID-19 serology studies online in Immunity. The group gathered for an online workshop in May to discuss the role of serology testing in understanding and responding to the COVID-19 public health crisis and to explore strategies to address key scientific knowledge opportunities and gaps in the emerging field. Serology tests for COVID-19 are designed to detect antibodies(link is external) against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. While such tests do not diagnose active infection, they can indicate prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 that may have been missed because a person did not experience significant symptoms or access testing while infected.
The COVID-19 Serology Studies workshop was convened by an interagency working group comprised of experts from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services — including scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), parts of the National Institutes of Health, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority — and the Department of Defense. Attendees assessed efforts to better understand the implications of serology test results, to produce and validate test kits, and to quantify undetected cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

veteranstoday--2020-06-24--Was Walmart Compromised Into CoronaHoax After Evidence Of Their Opioid Pill Mill Drug Ring?

The U.S.
Prosecutor ’ s Office of the Eastern District of Texas ( EDTX ) has always been known for their special investigative skills of uncovering major drug lords .
In fact –they have been one of the leading U.S. Attorney ’ s office in the nation to carry out President Trump ’ s “ Initiative to Stop Opioid Abuse ” focusing their resources on the illegal prescribing and dispensing Opioid drugs by pharmacies and doctors .
Their strategies focused on cracking down on the domestic and international drug supply chains .
In 2018 , Joe Brown , the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of outstanding investigative work when they extradited defendants out of Colombia for major drug related crimes .
In 2019 , Brown ’ s office ranked fourth in the nation in the number of experienced and sophisticated indicted organized crime cases pursuant to the Justice Department ’ s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces ( OCDETF ) program .
This was until they began investigating the shady Opioid practices of Walmart .
After a two year investigation , in the fall of 2018 , federal prosecutors were prepared to present “ highly damaging evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ practices and their deep involvement in being an Opioid pill-mill pipeline .
However , Trump ’ s top appointees at the DOJ instantly suppressed the evidence and killed the case , leaving Walmart to play the “ victim role ” and get away with continuing their dirty pipeline between their pharmacies and the nation ’ s drug-dealing pill-mill murdering doctors .
But , why would they want to suppress the discovery of Walmart as one of the major players in illegal dispensing of the Opioid drug by their pharmacies across the nation ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Opioid overdoses in the nation was the major reason for Trump ’ s Opioid Initiative .
It was discovered between 2014-2017 , that over 1.3 Million doses were illegally dispensed by Walmart pharmacists from just one “ pill-mill ” doctor alone .
After a two year investigation , the prosecution team , led by Joe Brown and Heather Rattan , who focused her career in prosecuting members of the drug cartel , went to Washington D.C. to try to save their case .
First , they went to the DEA ’ s headquarters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dhillon and laid out their evidence against Walmart and the murders of many overdosed customers in Texas as a result .
They presented evidence and explained they began getting pleas for help from Walmart pharmacists who were highly concerned about having to participate in filling RX ’ s from known national pill-mill doctors .
These pharmacists also pleaded for guidance from Walmart ’ s Corporate Office and tried to reach out to others .
They did not want to dispense these Opioids knowing there was illegal dealing going on , as well as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for help began surfacing from all over the nation and investigators obtained records showing there were pharmacists from Maine , NC , Kansas , Washington , and other states that were being forced to be a part of the Walmart Opioid pipeline of illegal dispensing ; meanwhile , received no help their own Walmart employer .
“ One Walmart employee warned about a Florida doctor who had a “ list of patients from Kentucky that have been visiting pharmacies in all of central Wisconsin recently .
That doctor had sent patients to Walmarts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Walmart did not take action to stop the flow of illegal dispensing of Opioids .
“ In response to these alarms , Walmart compliance officials did not take corporate-wide action to halt the flow of opioids .
Instead , they repeatedly admonished pharmacists that they could not cut off any doctor entirely .
They could only evaluate each prescription on an individual basis .
And they went further .
An opioid compliance manager told an executive in an email , gathered during the inquiry and viewed by ProPublica , that Walmart ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” “ After they finished their presentation , Dhillon sat back in his chair and exclaimed , “ Jesus Christ , ” according to five people familiar with the investigation .
“ Why aren ’ t we talking about this as a criminal case ?
” Seven months earlier , prosecutor Rattan had sent an official notification that she intended to indict the corporation for violating the Controlled Substance Act .
With support from Brown , they moved forward on their investigation , gathering evidence that would justify the next step of accountability @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obstacle of Walmart being a Fortune 500 company who employs over 2 million people and deals in over $ 500 Billion in annual revenue .
But , before the Texas office could file their case , the DOJ intervened and was ordered to stand down .
Trump officials informed Walmart that the DOJ would not prosecute the company on Aug. 31 , 2018 .
This can be collaborated according to this letter from Walmart ’ s lawyer that lays out the timeline of the case .
Still , the TX Prosecutors continued to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the case forward .
Surprisingly , seven years earlier , Walmart had agreed to a settlement with the DEA in which it had promised to improve and correct its dispensing practices and controls over the abuse of opioid pill-mill prescriptions .
This is an obvious indication that Walmart had already been investigated previously in regards to allowing the Opioid pipeline practices .
Now with DEA ’ s Dhillon aboard , they presented their evidence to the DOJ , with the hope that the then-deputy attorney general , Rod Rosenstein would come aboard the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and added that Walmart was a Repeated Offender of the Control Substance Act .
“ Dispensing opioids without a legitimate medical purpose is legally akin to dealing heroin .
Criminal law says if a person or entity is willfully blind or deliberately ignorant , they are as liable as if they had acted intentionally .
Once Walmart ’ s headquarters knew its pharmacists were raising alarms about suspicious prescriptions , but the compliance department continued to allow — even push — them to fill them , well , that made the company guilty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was not a question of a few rogue employees , Rattan explained .
Walmart had a national problem .
Worse , the prosecutors contended , the company was a repeat offender.
” This evidence justifies an path to criminal prosecution .
Brown explained to Rosenstein , “ We have to act ” and DEA ’ s Dhillon added that “ a fine would not be a sufficient deterrent since Walmart has more money than it knows what to do with.
” Rosenstein responded , “ Not that there ’ s anything wrong with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” The prosecuting team then claimed , “ they weren ’ t pursuing Walmart because it was profitable but because , in their view , the company had put its customers at deadly risk.
” Rosenstein then left the room and the hope to revive the criminal case against Walmart had failed .
After the failed attempt to get Rosenstein aboard to support prosecuting the Walmart pill-mill corporation , they began focusing their investigation towards prosecuting individual employees including a mid-level manager .
However , Trump officials had blocked that outlet as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of holding Walmart accountable for allowing pill-mill drug dealing to take place nationwide .
The Trump appointees at the DOJ continued to side with Walmart .
Following the attempts by the Texas Office to hold Walmart accountable for the deaths of many people across the nation , they instead played the Victim Card… even though Walmart never fully cooperated , Walmart lawyers went to Washington and complained about the Texas prosecutors , “ accusing them of seeking to “ embarrass ” the company while using the threat of criminal charges to extort a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investigations can run in parallel , but it ’ s an ethical violation for prosecutors to use the threat of criminal penalties to generate a higher civil settlement.
” U.S. Attorney Brown offered up a response by saying , “ Drug Enforcement Agency investigations of multiple opioid overdose deaths in the Eastern District of Texas resulted in our office opening parallel civil and criminal investigations of Walmart ’ s pharmacy practices .
These investigations have been handled appropriately , and according to Department of Justice policy .
“ Walmart chooses now to attack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ method to avoid oversight .
We are confident that once all of the facts in this matter are public the hollowness of this criticism will be apparent .
It is not the goal of our office to embarrass Walmart .
Walmart ’ s behavior in dispensing opioid medication in the middle of a public health crisis should embarrass Walmart.
” Walmart ’ s ability to go over the heads of the Texas office left the U.S. attorney ’ s team shocked and frustrated and the lead civil prosecutor , Joshua Russ , on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 25 , 2019 .
In his resignation letter , a copy of which ( with Walmart ’ s name blacked out ) can be found here and verified here… “ Corporations can not poison Americans with impunity .

But in reality , look who gets to make billions of the Corona-hoax .
Trump continues to tell the public they are full scale ahead in confronting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though his own DOJ refused to hold Walmart accountable for their involvement in drug pill-mill dispensing resulting in nationwide deaths .
Trump says , “ A key element was a public-private partnership with several companies , including Walmart , to implement measures such as opioid addiction education initiatives .
“ Together we are going to end the scourge of drug addiction in America.
” Then suddenly , America watched as Walmart ’ s CEO Doug McMillon appeared in the White House ’ s Rose Garden to pledge the company ’ s help in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where previous Vice-Chairman Tom Coughlin , was successfully prosecuted for a major high rolling embezzlement scheme .
Shockingly , other companies including CVS , Walgreens , and Target were also mentioned in the investigation as being Opioid “ pill mill ” dispensaries for the same drug dealing doctors .
Just how much have they made on these illegal prescriptions and why did the Trump administration choose these very same corporations to be the leading public-private partnership companies to be in charge of the alleged Coronvirus pandemic ?
Then , on May 26 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ announcement , The Eastern District of Texas ( EDTX ) Attorney General Joe Brown submitted his resignation .
Knowing the EDTX Attorney ’ s General had an abundance amount of evidence to prosecute Walmart Corporation for being a leader in allowing Opioid drug dealing to take place under their command through illegal pill dispensing , Trump instead , brought them aboard to be a part of the Coronavirus take-down of America .
Were they compromised ?
Did they take a secret deal ?
What is the trade-off ?
Was Walmart told they would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be prosecuted ?
If they play along then all evidence disappears ?
Is this why Walgreens , CVS , Target were also brought into this Coronahoax ?
Was it because they too were compromised ?
You can witness for yourself the happy display of Trump welcoming Opioid dealing Walmart CEO Doug McMillon into the Coronavirus hoax to make billions off the scam .

Walmart did not take action to stop the flow of illegal dispensing of Opioids.
“In response to these alarms, Walmart compliance officials did not take corporate-wide action to halt the flow of opioids. Instead, they repeatedly admonished pharmacists that they could not cut off any doctor entirely. They could only evaluate each prescription on an individual basis. And they went further. An opioid compliance manager told an executive in an email, gathered during the inquiry and viewed by ProPublica, that Walmart’s focus should be on “driving sales.”
“After they finished their presentation, Dhillon sat back in his chair and exclaimed, “Jesus Christ,” according to five people familiar with the investigation. “Why aren’t we talking about this as a criminal case?”
Seven months earlier, prosecutor Rattan had sent an official notification that she intended to indict the corporation for violating the Controlled Substance Act.

Walmart’s ability to go over the heads of the Texas office left the U.S. attorney’s team shocked and frustrated and the lead civil prosecutor, Joshua Russ, on the case resigned in protest on Oct. 25, 2019.

He stated,

Knowing the EDTX Attorney’s General had an abundance amount of evidence to prosecute Walmart Corporation for being a leader in allowing Opioid drug dealing to take place under their command through illegal pill dispensing, Trump instead, brought them aboard to be a part of the Coronavirus take-down of America. Were they compromised? Did they take a secret deal? What is the trade-off? Was Walmart told they would participate in the Coronahoax or they will be prosecuted? If they play along then all evidence disappears? Is this why Walgreens, CVS, Target were also brought into this Coronahoax? Was it because they too were compromised?
You can witness for yourself the happy display of Trump welcoming Opioid dealing Walmart CEO Doug McMillon into the Coronavirus hoax to make billions off the scam.

Sino-Indian scuffles and Pakistan
by Senator Rehman Malik
Our government, instead of giving optimistic statements on the Indo-China conflict, should in fact give deep thought to the repercussions of this conflict. Let us not forget the statement of Henry Kissinger after the debacle of East Pakistan.
We need to observe the developments very carefully, keeping our defence in view. Let us not forget about the close US-India defence ties. Let us not forget that the hand-to-hand fight was started by India and not China. Let us have some facts narrated by Mr Zhao Lijian, the spokesperson of China, who narrated every incident step by step on account of the Galwan Valley.
The Galwan Valley is located on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the west section of the China-India boundary. For many years, Chinese border troops have been patrolling and on duty in this region. Since April, Indian border troops unilaterally and continuously built roads, bridges, and other facilities at the LAC in Galwan Valley. China lodged protests on multiple occasions but India went even further to cross the LAC and made provocations.
On May 6, Indian border troops crossed LAC, trespassed into China’s territory, built fortifications & barricades, which impeded the patrol of Chinese border troops. They deliberately made provocations in an attempt to unilaterally change the status quo of control and management.
On the other hand, Nepal had also shown resistance by ignoring India’s earlier influence on Nepal. It is obviously understandable that China has now increased its influence, so India, out of nowhere and without any provocation, has started inflecting four undisputed Chinese areas. In fact, India wants to make a double road along the Chinese border to take its artillery and heavy weaponry along the Actual Line of Control. Both India and China had agreed on this “Actual Control line”.
The road passes through territory at the Lipulekh pass which is claimed by Nepal. Nepal had protested against India strongly earlier as well when India published a new map which showed the region of Kalpani to be a part of Indian territory and India wants to use this as a defence road against China. The dispute began on patrolling of borders through the top hills.
There is an agreement between India and China post-1962 Indo-China war that there will be no use of arms on these mountains and all the border disputes will be resolved by local commanders amicably without the use of force. Both sides were going in good harmony and trade between the countries rose to the tune of $82 billion.

The American crew then landed their damaged plane and were captured by China. The incident led to the escalation of the row between both and became the key reason behind China’s military modernisation.
Modi has offered his services to assist the USA against China. In fact, Modi initiated this scuffle to further win the support of the US, as it had just begun losing its trust in Modi lately after his withdrawal from the “Blue Dot Network” designed by the US and G8 countries. In November 2019, the Blue Dot Network was launched by the United States in cooperation with Japan and Australia.
The project was launched as a tentative response to the Chinese BRI project by the USA to assess connectivity in the Indo-Pacific regions. But India has shown reluctance in possible participation as China is India’s second largest economic partner, and therefore New Delhi remained more interested in BRI.
By escalating tension at borders with Pakistan and China, India is pushing the region into war to divert to the world’s attention from its state terrorism in occupied Kashmir and crimes against religious minorities in India. In the given situation, Pakistan has to be vigilant to expose the malicious Indian intentions before the international community, not merely by statements or a few tweets but by taking practical steps and moving the issue at the United Nations.
India now has a loamy venture with Australia on two Islands. Both countries are all set to lay the foundation for mutual use of their two strategically located islands – India’s Andaman and the Nicobar Islands and Australia’s Cocos Islands in the Indian Ocean for surveillance and military purposes. In fact, these islands will be used for some third party to restore heavy ammunition and fighter planes. I persistently and repeatedly stated that Modi will be used for destabilising South Asia and China.
Moreover, there are five modern fully-equipped airports with an underground parking facility for fighter planes and it covers a fully blue line.
First, there was an anti-China statement from the Canadian and Australian Foreign Ministers as both accused China of spreading disinformation. It is interesting to note that all G-8 countries have started giving anti-China statements altogether. Modi is now selling the narrative that he has suffered in the hands of China to the west because he is an ally of the USA.
Pakistan’s government needs to think more deeply and peep into Modi’s war design against Pakistan as he is working to muster more support from the USA. On the other hand, Modi has increased Indian aggression on the LoC and is killing civilians every day. India is trying to provoke Pakistan by fighting China but in actuality, Modi is preparing to fight against Pakistan.
According to the indications he is eyeing the Gilgit-Baltistan border as it serves the purpose of the US as the attempt will be to cut Karakoram Highway. As commonly said, they will not allow gas/ energy to go to China via the mountains. Pakistan needs to be extra cautious and should not celebrate the tiny defeat of India by the Chinese.
Modi’s prime target is Pakistan, not China. However, Pakistan and China will have to fight this conflict together from the peak mountain border line between Pakistan and China. India must realise that any war in this region will push the world towards World War III.
Pakistan must not fall in the Indian trap which is making it seem as if the Indian Army is training itself to fight against China. This is not true because they are preparing to go to war with Pakistan, not China. Let us watch how Modi reacts to have his face-saving with India and how he presents himself as a victim before the west to garner more support.
We must not forget that Modi’s dream is to carry out some selective surgical strikes though he does not have a visible excuse, but still one can expect anything from PM Modi. India might launch a false-flag operation within India or Kashmir and level the allegations against Pakistan as it did after Samjhota express and other such Indian self-engineered acts of terrorism sponsored by RAW and RSS.
