The opioid crisis in America is a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER. It’s pervasive and it takes more lives in one year than the entirety of how many soldiers we lost in Vietnam. That is striking. The sad truth is, Big Pharma has so much power in this country, that our government allows them to keep pushing these dangerous, highly addictive drugs to the US population. Opioids are also a huge reason why we are still in Afghanistan, where 90% of the world’s poppies, the plant where opioids are extracted from, exists.

The oil and gas industry has known that we’re destroying the planet for a lot longer than you might believe according to new reporting from DeSmog Blog. This week Lee Camp blows open Big Oil’s big secret. They’ve been covering up the fact that their industry, left unchecked, would lead to serious climate change since at least 1959. Now we all know what oil executives knew more than 50 years ago. But because of their significant efforts to cover the truth up humanity is facing a dire crisis. Big Oil did it all for profit and they’re hoping that with the insane wealth they generated, partially through their lies, that they’ll be able to skip out on the worst impacts of a warming planet. It’s a bet that the general public never had a say in. Also in this episode: Lee Camp covers a new report on inequality and climate change from Oxfam, and the US’s attempts to undermine the Nicaraguan election. Anders Lee looks into Big Pharma’s latest effort to stop Congress from giving the government the power to negotiate lower drug prices. They’re using the tried and tested method of laundering their message through an astroturfed “public advocacy” organization. Big Pharma also has the benefit of owning most of Congress. This fight in the halls of Congress contrasts the situation experienced by regular people in the US who’re sick of medical debt ruining their lives and the lives of those around them. Jaffer Khan finishes the show off on a newly-exposed torture method being employed against America’s incarcerated and unhoused populations. Khan shows that the strategies the US military uses on its victims abroad will always be used against domestic dissidents and inconvenient populations in the end. ~ Full episodes of Redacted Tonight will no longer be available on YouTube.
