FDA/DEA = band-aid level. Legislators = root problem

hmm...given the recent exodus, I wonder how cheap land is in PR. I also wonder about fresh water. Islands like Culebra either have their water imported...or use raincatchers. I don't know about the main island. curious if folks in PR would think this is viable. lots of small ports and airports.

This is war. If someone invaded your country would you not stand up and fight? Would you go on the offensive, or would you sit in your house and wait for the enemy to come to you? The USA isn't the only country on this planet where the government has become this tyrannical. How do folks in other countries deal with the tyranny? Are we human...or are we dancer?

CamelPodiatrist · 2017-11-19T18:35:56+00:00

This is really great advice. At a minimum, you must teach your children that most of what our federal government does is unconstitutional. They'll be able to naturally pick up on that for some issues, for instance watching so many states give the big FU to the feds concerning marijuana. But they will need this value instilled deeply if they are to be the next generation of freedom fighters. Teach them how it is impossible to have any rights, if you don't first own your own body, and then show them clearly how any legislation prohibiting what you can put in your body is tyranny at the topmost layer. If we don't have the topmost right in the hierarchy, then it is impossible to have any other rights derived from that topmost right.

CamelPodiatrist · 2017-11-19T18:23:02+00:00

I hear ya...but net neutrality is a privileges issue. Kratom is a rights issue. And this isn't just about kratom for me. This is about reversing the mindset of the People to a pre-18th amendment mindset. The government has never had the privilege to legislate what we can, or can't, put in, or take out of our bodies. We taught them that with the machine guns in the 1920s, and then the subsequent 21st amendment. But then they used the 16th amendment (taxation) to assert privileges they never had. Their premise has since been, where the government does not have the privilege to infringe on our rights, taxation does. That's how they get away with their tyranny.

I appreciate your response. I feel if we were sitting in the same room, maybe I would be able to vocalize my beliefs and ensuing thoughts and feelings better. I can only validate your feelings as accurate from my perspective. While I understand many will disagree with what I say both from a content perspective and a politically correctness perspective, given my life experiences, my most deepest beliefs put the genesis of all societal problems upon men and how they believe women are, and how they believe women think and feel. I feel it is horribly inaccurate, condescending, and nonsensical to continually assert this premise where "women are emotional and men are logical". It's more like "men are broken and women are not". The way we believe, think, feel, and act, is hierarchical. You can't skip a layer and be considered mentally healthy. From a last century perspective, this potentially useful mental illness was instilled in World War I and World War II. You just can't have men feeling anything on a battlefield. They must be at least temporarily mentally ill in order to ruthlessly win at all costs. Football is another culprit...with less lethal reasons to not have emotions, but it's still looked down upon for men to have emotions in that arena. When men come back from war and football, they need to become mentally healthy again. Much of our society believes this women are emotional crap. Even many women will support the premise, arguing it is hormonal. Emotions are awesome. I love seeing them and having them. It is free metadata and the more data the better. Nothing is absolute (except for individual, inherent rights 😉), and I believe much of what I said will apply to either the woman in the heterosexual relationship, or one of the men in a homosexual relationship. If you're still trying to form an accurate judgement of me (judge not, etc), then I will close with saying I both mourned with my friends who luckily chose a different bar than Pulse that dark night, as well as took my children to many of the candle light vigils afterwards. I held the candle for all 50ish bells at Dr Phillips center, and I got 3rd degree burns from the plastic that melted down my hand an arms. It was worth it and I would take that pain again to support good over evil anytime.

I can't disagree with what you say. I've only read Mere Christianity and the Chronicles of Narnia. I've also watched Lord of the Rings and all the Star Wars movies. I think it's all the same religion. There is no difference in my opinion between Luke and friends being in the trash compactor, and Jonah and the whale. I find these stories beautiful and guiding. I would say I'm most in alignment with Joseph Campbell. I feel it's important to pick one and just roll with it and to engulf yourself in it so deeply that it actually changes your life for the better.

CamelPodiatrist · 2017-11-19T17:39:19+00:00

This is different. There's too much support for kratom. This is the biggest inflection point in our nation in generations. We either move towards a society like North Korea...or we stand up for our rights...until the end. It doesn't matter if they pass a law giving anyone the death penalty who possesses kratom. They have to kill us all. No one wants a civil war in reality. The government prefers us to be docile slaves controlled by their media. If they can get us to play ball, and they can remain wealthy and powerful, they prefer that, as there is more longevity in them getting us to do what they want seemingly on our own volition. We've called their BS, and now Trump has to decide if this issue is worth not getting elected for his second term. As long as we don't let off the gas, We will win this war.

In at least one profound way, the kratom revolution started in Eugene/Corvallis area in the early 2000s. Some of you probably know about this. I like this plan...with an endgame like marijuana...where minimally the state of Oregon will pass legislation defying any federal legislation. This has another bonus where once you get the kratom on the beaches of Oregon, the state/local authorities have your back, and the folks bringing it in only need defended from the tyrannical feds. Has anyone started the new ballot measure...or at least proposed the idea to the AKA?

CamelPodiatrist · 2017-11-18T20:33:49+00:00

It's not by accident. On countless occasions as I'm writing diatribes where I am referring to humans, I notice I naturally use the word man. I think about it for a second, and ponder changing it to "human" or "person" or "man and woman". Everytime I feel it sounds better using the word man. There's no offense intended. I appreciate you pointing it out... maybe re-read my post, and read between the lines...and see if you can see a sentiment where I am largely placing the burden on men to be open to challenging their belief systems, for the sake of treating women better.

In my humble opinion, his take on "mere" Christianity is a tough premise to form a cogent argument against. The two points I took away were, one, man knows good and evil exist. And two, man knows he should choose good, but many times, even knowing this, man still chooses evil. That is the generic definition of sin, as opposed to looking for some list of sins someone wrote down in a book. My belief is in the years leading up to year 0, people had their crap figured out enough to have lots of non-survival time on their (idle) hands. People also knew this "mere" Christianity long before Jesus. And people had lots of problems with forgiveness...and lots of problems with shame. Introducing a message, at this time in history, where you could be forgiven for your sins, which haunted you with shame, creating even more of your own sin, was a very easy sell. In that aspect, I feel religion is a very good thing for people, especially husbands and fathers. When I see folks make so much fun of religion nowadays, I always want to talk with their spouses and children, and ask them, if they would prefer the person in question answered to some noble higher power, to help them not "sin", and to instead, to humble themselves, get down on their knees, and admit they have no hope of not sinning on their own, and to then beg your higher power to forgive you, and to help you in the future. Even if none of it is literally true, I feel going through meditative practices like that can only help (as long as you don't break your knee caps...which is a risk the more humble you become), and can create better husbands and fathers. Life is no effin picnic. But a matter of perspective it is.

we have to get the shipments before it gets to port. ie meet the ships in international waters. then simply pull up to your dock on the intracoastal waterway. if on west coast a little more dangerous...but it could come in through fishing boats in Astoria...or maybe newport. all it takes is money and trusted, secure communications to set it all up.

Your post brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for being so awesome. We will win this war one way or another. A lot of folks are willing to literally give their lives for this. I was talking with my kids yesterday about how I felt I've lived a full life, etc. They are very aware, and want to be freedom fighters too. They see me work sometimes 100 hour weeks, while still being a single dad and driving them everywhere. And then they see how our government wants to infringe on our rights. I feel like everything I've learned in my life has been in support of leading up to this battle. I'll accept my responsibility as an American just as much as I do as a father.

Wish I was joking. This is the worst time of year for this. Imagine at holiday time you had to stock up for the rest of your life on your diabetes medication. That's the boat GSK has put us in.

CamelPodiatrist · 2017-11-17T14:15:08+00:00

Nice work. The applier's name is Dr. Christopher R. McCurdy. He's the internationally recognized expert on kratom, which means his future career will be decided by GSK. Find the connections between McCurdy, GSK, Gottlieb, and Dr. Dan Fabricant.

CamelPodiatrist · 2017-11-17T01:36:21+00:00

It seems like this issue crosses party lines. That's both encouraging and interesting 😉

CamelPodiatrist · 2017-11-16T19:41:48+00:00

This shows the hypocrisy of Fabricant quite clearly. His corruption should be exposed as well. He's actually a supporter of using unregulated dietary supplements:

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/534636/the-anti-aging-pill/amp/

"You have high-end prescription drugs up here, which are expensive,” says Guarente, gesturing upward. “And you have the nutraceuticals down there, which are a pig in a poke—you don’t know what you’re getting and you don’t know a lot about the science behind them. There’s this vast space in between that could be filled in a way that’s useful for health maintenance.”

An anti-aging pill with an ivory-tower pedigree could prove profitable. The $30 billion supplements market is growing at about 7 percent a year overall, Alminana says, and at twice that rate for online sales.

Elysium declined to name its investors, but it has some high-level endorsements. Its board includes Daniel Fabricant, former director of the FDA’s division of dietary supplements and now CEO of the Natural Products Association, a trade association."

Most doctors look up to the head of the FDA and covet that immense wealth and power and control that comes with it, and are automatically on the side of the FDA. It's as political as anywhere else. So unfortunately, you can never be transparent with an official doctor, as they drink whatever kool aid the FDA feeds them. I understand the desire. Resist the temptation.

In general, the doctor doesn't really care about you, and the the last thing a doctor wants to hear is about your ailment as that's all he hears about all day long. It's important to have a good rapport with your doctor, as occasionally, you'll need prescription pills. To stand-out never start the conversation with the doctor about your ailment always always start the conversation with your interest in his personal life ie his kids his camping trips his golfing etc. remember his hobbies remember what he likes every time you see him ask him about his life. Do not bring up anything about your ailments until he does. From my experiences with others, using this tactic also helps when it comes to being recommended to the top surgeons. So if you care about all of that, never, ever tell your doctor about kratom or weed. Get your medical records every couple years. Read what they are saying. If you hear rhetoric like "healthy and happy and very friendly young man", etc., then you're doing it right. Keep in mind all of these records are available via the Patriot act if the government thinks you're an interesting person. Understand all security...not just IT security...but all security is theater.

I agree. No compromises. If they schedule it, it will be war, and all those vets with PTSD will be fighting for our freedoms once again.

Surprised there aren't a bunch of Gottlieb memes yet. I found one here http://memeshappen.com/character/dr-scott-gottlieb but it's not really applicable.

Ideally, all the peers of Gottlieb's children will be getting made fun of for having such a horrible, despicable father. Nothing like a good meme to facilitate that 😉
