Im X suspended so can someome please DM @rightanglenews on X during Leon Trotsky's great grand daughter Nora Volkow's tenure at CDC and NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) tenure:

1. 2003ish Orlaam aka "LAAM" (like Methadone but only 3x weekly) was forced off the market on trumped up QT prolongation heart safety risk allegations (that have been associated with Methadone since the 70s)
   just as the Suboxone Cartel was gearing up to monopolize opiate use disorder treatment - and the pain management market post DATA2000 - aka the Suboxone Bill to downgrade bupe to schedule 3 that was sponsored by Biden in 2000 and handwritten by Charles Okeefe (Chuck was 3x WH Drug official, oversaw Vietnam soldier tox screens, was pivitol in WHO putting weed as a schedule 1 drug, and was President of Reckitt Beckhizer aka Indivior aka bupe suboxone from 1992-2003)

2. 2004 when CDC was up for Congress refunding - in a meeting Nora Volkow backed up panel member Charles Okeefe's evidence based bullshit with the claim that no evidence exists that 12 step (AA NA etc) programs aid in the treatment of addiction - and only "evidence based treatment" like suboxone should be federally funded. In other words AA and NA were direct competitors of suboxone and Nora and Chucky wanted the $$$ oxygen supply cut off from any 12 step based treatment programs.

3. Nora Volkow sat by when the boots on the ground Methodone clinics - as the pill mill crisis began ramping up - had a nervous breakdown when they learned that suboxone was only schedule 3 take home if an addict got the script from a suboxone doctor they had the cash to pay for - methadone clinic patients suboxone remained schedule 1 with no take homes - Chucky baked that into Data2000 because Methadone clinic issued takehome suboxone would be much harder to divert to street sales.

4. Nora Volkow sat by while the definition of addiction was changed to make almost every pain patient in America an addict - that of course needed to be treated with only suboxone for pain AND addiction - Trouble is suboxone aka bupe only works for pain in microdoses and it was originally a commercial flop for pain so it was relegated to a pet pain reliever - so they added naloxone to the generic bupe to turn it into patented suboxone for heroin addiction tx.

That's just the short list.
