Austin’s army. Army of one…….. Seriously, is this a bad joke? I can’t believe this whole situation, and how long it’s gone on for. Just in case it’s not, I’ll keep doing what I can. I think it’s safe to say that it would be better to do the opposite of everything I did. I know what Austin needed that wasn’t available. I could not believe that our SUD system was so lacking in services by licensed professionals who were kind and compassionate. Not one knew the truth of the current health crisis. I followed society norms regarding sending your kid off to college. I went along with ‘acceptance’ of ‘normal’ college experiences. Later I followed the rules and advice from the meetings for families of addiction. I followed the rules/expectations for the rehab, hospitals, courts, law enforcement, housing facility……. None of it helped him. None Of It . All advice and rules are evidenced based circa 1980’s. We are slow to catch up to the advances in chemical engineering of substances. We are behind 45 years. It’s probably less harmful to give our kids a jar of mercury to play with or a plank of old wood with lead paint chips to snack on than send them off to college now.
One of Austin and my favorite quotes is painted on the wall of the military surplus store in Mojave.
“War doesn’t decide who’s right or wrong…………War decides who’s left.” -unknown
Evidently there are multiple US Government Agencies that focus on safety from poisoning, substance use disorder, illicit drugs and mental health. They have web videos of their meetings on current trends, research reports, education, new agency introduction, funding expectations. There are a lot of research results and very useful information that would have been a life saver for Austin. WOW. It would have been good to know all that. 2018 Same with Congressional meetings and reports discussing Fentanyl coming in the mail from China that is 90% pure and so addictive you can not stop without MAT medication assisted treatment, and waves of young people dying in every community.
I don’t think any of the Administration’s kids died. I guess thats the benefit of knowing all of the information you talk about in your meetings and hearings. Did you ever consider telling the US Citizens these details?! No warnings of the disease it causes that requires Medication Assisted Treatment right away if exposed. Why don’t the doctors know? Why aren’t the ER Docs giving out Buprenorphine after they are poisoned to start weaning them off? Thats what the NIH and other agencies say. Why is the ER sending people home to soon then the Narcan wears off and their mom finds them dead in the morning?
All the way back to 2013. No warnings to the public, schools, hospitals, doctors, colleges or our families.The Senators and experts discussed the reality that Fentanyl has in fact already been weaponized, being used as a weapon by Russia.Fentanyl was too deadly when they put in the air conditioning vents, accidentally killing over 100 of their own people. None of this lifesaving information posted any place that a person with Substance Use Disorder would see it.
This is inhumane treatment to our fellow citizens that are sick from the secret lacing by China and Mexico. I’m assuming we pay for those agencies? Don’t we have a right to be warned about a known chemical attack or danger of being killed from another country? Isn’t that what the point of the agency is? For Americans to live safer, healthier and happier? Or do you report to President Obama and he makes the announcement with warnings and treatments for the disease it caused?
Center for Disease Control (CDC), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institute of Health (NIH), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Justice Community Overdose Innovation Network (JCOIN), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA). You can access videos at:
videocast.nih.gov/search search word Fentanyl. Go back for 12 years of privileged information.
At what point do we get something out of all of the research studies we have paid for? So far I have not seen any implementation of all of the findings. What was the point of all of it if you aren’t going to apply the knowledge? What is your goal, to get published in a journal, write a book, get another $500,000 research grant? I would think the point of all the studies is to help mankind with the knowledge. Apply the knowledge to save the suffering and lives of our citizens. Don’t keep it all to yourself’s, patting each other on the back about such exciting results in the zoom meetings. You could be saving peoples lives with this information! It is comforting to see that you have never been through this hell with your child. Do you think he did not deserve the help? He did.
In a 2024 meeting on Videocast the head of the NIH is even talking about how we have the medicine to help with Opioid Use Disorder but it is not being utilized! Tell Us! Go out to the streets where the diseased are, because they are so sick they can’t even take care of themselves, and give them information and medical care. Is this not common sense? Evidently Not! That’s why I am sitting here at 2 am in my PJ’s trying to research and tell everyone as fast as I can. Every 5 min someones kid, or parent dies. Shouldn’t ONE of the agencies listed here have 1 person with a heart that can get the medicine to the sick people with the disease that they were clandestinely given from an adversary country? Call a news agency and let people know to ask your doctor for buprenorphine. The DEA loosened restrictions on it due to the Fentanyl lacing our drug supply in 2022. Of which you are not telling or warning us about either.
Why are there so many different Substance Use Disorder (SUD) agencies? Have you been instructed to not address the crisis? Now all of their websites are generically simple with the same basic regurgitated Fentanyl information. Nothing urgent or alarming. There is no truth that all the drugs are being secretly laced from China. In the Congressional meeting linked below you talk extensively about how you have asked the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) to stop killing us and they won’t. Say that. Tell US THAT. You discussed it multiple times in the 2018 Congressional meeting. That is a lot easier to hear than, “No, I’m sorry, Austin is deceased.” Over and over again I hear it.
There is no urgency for drug abstinence. Emergency meetings should be happening in the colleges and high school’s warning them. “These are not drugs, they are poisons,” DEA.
No warnings of the addiction properties. No warnings that all types of drugs have been laced with Fentanyl and the danger is not only death but being a zombie, a shell of the person you used to be, dead years before you stop breathing. Until it paralyses your breathing muscles and you suffocate alone because there are no ‘safe use’ warnings anywhere at your Los Angeles County Housing Facility. 2023! Or Narcan! So I guess from the beginning Los Angeles County’s plan for you Austin was death. Mayor Karen Bass was on that Board during the Congressional meeting in 2018. She heard all of the deadly facts about Fentanyl and even read a speech about how bad it is. Why, in 2023, would LA County refuse to let Austin go to Rehab and then house him next to skid row? Why don’t you keep the death dealers away from their front gate? Why don’t you have Narcan on every employee and every resident? Why is there no Harm Reduction/ Fentanyl Facts Warnings posted during this crisis that has tricked and killed over 1,000,000 young Americans? You will just move another homeless person into his room. If all of you Agency’s would have been honest and doing your job and telling us all the FACTS then it would have made sense and I could have gotten him the medicine that’s been around for 50 years. Why is all the US Government Agency’s withholding this critical safety information and medical treatment to sick and injured citizens?
YOU know it’s happening to us, and you withhold the deadly information.
YOU know that the citizens are now chemically altered… sick and injured, with a disease that requires a medicine that has been readily available for 50 years. Why doesn’t the ER doctors or any doctors know they are suppose to be starting everyone on Buprenorphine immediately? In the Congressional meeting the expert doctor said it is critical to get people on the medicine for recovery as soon as possible before the brain is injured more. YOU are withholding this information. People are suffering living and dying in the bushes, trash bins, boxes, bus stops, sidewalks… It is so mind boggling how inhumane the Biden/Harris/Karen Bass/Newsom Administration has been allowing US Citizens to suffer and die. You are more concerned with the citizens of other countries while putting us down.
Even the Agencies Fentanyl information pages are always written so gently. Like you are afraid of offending the People’s Republic of China if you say what they are doing. You act like you are more concerned with hurting China’s leaders feelings and the Mexican Cartel’s leaders feelings more than you are concerned that in your ‘Failure to Act’ and warn us you destroyed my family and a million other American dead kids’ families. Betrayal! Who is your allegiance to? Obviously not the United States of America. Don’t ever say, “Thank you for your service” on Veteran’s Day to any of us. You didn’t even protect our kids on their own soil. Traitors.
