The Morning Rant
"And another thing about those Parkland kids: one MSM infobabe tweeted that she was given a press kit from one of them when she contacted her for an interview. A press kit!? How would it occur to a bunch of teenagers to make press kits available to the media? And how much did it cost, and how was it financed? These are questions the infobabe didn't think worthwhile to ask. There is quite a lot about these protests that suggest a widespread astroturfing operation, but the MSM appears to be all but completely incurious about that possibility. Although I'll admit it doesn't take much to get students to cut school, especially if you tell them it's for a noble cause. But still, you'd think that there'd be least one reporter skeptical enough to ask the question."

"Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!"
"Wow, watch Comey lie under oath to Senator G when asked "have you ever been an anonymous source...or known someone else to be an anonymous source...?" He said strongly "never, no."
Love the use of sanctimonious, my favorite adjective for Jimmy Drama.

Oh, one of my favorite memories involves a peat fire. I'd booked a ghillie who took me dapping and yet we didn't catch any salmon. Saw maybe one swirl or two.
I was possibly as bone cold as I've ever been. Just wet and nasty and everything else is also wet and nasty. The peat fire had a slow heat. It didn't fix things right away. But after a couple of whiskeys there was steam coming off my jeans and the world was good again.

Two big takeaways: 1) Jesus was innocent. He was innocent, but they killed him anyway. In fact, they let off a guilty guy to kill the innocent one.
2) Pilate was not just passive. He was an active arm of the government who killed an innocent man.

It seems to be
Obama's "internal force, as powerful and as well funded as our military"
dream of his campaign speech. Barry added 8000 that are not vetted, and operated (perhaps) from
these blackberry and secret server networks. They apparently have a
stranglehold on all DC departments, and can't be fired. And they keep top security clearance, which must be why Hillary, VJ, Huma (?) still have access (but Trump I guess uses an alternative now, since our IC is fully compromised)
This guy
George Webb does interesting online reports (voted for Obama, so that
raises an eyebrow, but). This short one is about these unvetted characters (like Awans?)
that roam around DC and get high security clearance, and seem to serve
only each other and the shadow government.

A Washington, D.C. city council member posted a video to his Facebook on Friday in which he purported Jewish bankers were responsible for controlling the weather.
District councilmember Trayon White Sr. reacted to a brief snowfall in the district Friday with anti-Semitic rhetoric, posting a video to his social media page where he warned D.C. residents to look out for climate manipulators, like the Rothschilds'.
"Man, it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man. Y'all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation," White said in the video. "And D.C. keep talking about, 'We a resilient city.' And that's a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man. Be careful."

I don't see their take as missing the point at all. It doesn't deny anything about the meaning of his death, and it is a VALUABLE lesson to realize that Government is NOT a believer's friend, it has NEVER been a believer's friend. Government is a force that asserts Man's power, not God's, and it has almost always been used to do far more evil than it has done good.
You should never trust it, never think it is going to "look out for you". If you offend it in any way, it is going to frame you and if you're a big enough threat, it will kill you. Like it killed Jesus for being a nuisance that got under their skin.

Pretty much. Jesus' big sin in the eyes of the Temple elders was the forgiving of sins. They saw that as not only not this Galilean's perview, but also as potential crowd appeal. The mob, especially around Passover, terrified them. They had just witnessed his triumphal entry into Jerusalem and feared his influence. Like many today, they didn't want to mess up their relationship with the current state.
Interesting the Caiaphas of the "House of Annas" and his family were still in charge when the Temple was destroyed---after all their work to preserve it, even losing their own integrity in the process.

Studies out now that show that for both chronic and acute pain, OTC stuff (advil, for example), are just as effective as opiates.
Which I believe completely.
Heroin doesn't relieve pain, it just gets you high. Doctors may as will prescribe synthetic alcohol, it has the same effect at "relieving pain" as synthetic heroin.

It was also reported that he asked agent to revise their 302's to (one assumes) cover somethings up. Was this in the Devin Nunes report - think it was.
I just remember that Wray demoted after viewing the Nunes memo, which contained details from the OIG investigation. That part isn't being mentioned in the current reports/reactions to McCabe's firing: he was already demoted.

I remember seeing articles trumpeting that. Personally, I highly doubt it. Maybe for light pain. For most serious pain, you can take advil and tylenol and aspirin until the cows come home and it isn't going to do much.

Suuuure they do.
I question the timing of those BS "studies." Opiates have been used for millennia for pain control. If they didn't work better than anything else, they wouldn't get used at all.
If there's an opioid "epidemic" it's because of ObamaCare and it's stupid (but profitable) emphasis on ongoing treatment of symptoms instead of curing the cause.
Remember SCOAMF telling us all to just take 2 aspirin and call a doctor in the morning? That was in response to a cancer diagnosis, IIRC.

::shrug:: I don't know who thought it was a good idea to start handing out synthetic heroin to people, but whoever did the marketing was brilliant.
They call drugs "pain killers" with zero evidence or suggestion that they do anything for pain, other than numb you out to the point where you forget you're in pain.
It's kind of like when you hurt yourself working on your house and decide to put the tools away and start drinking.

I always got the sense of:
Pilate: "Leave me the eff alone. Go judge this yourselves. I think he's harmless".
Sanhedrin: "He calls himself a king. If you let him walk, you are no friend of Rome".
Pilate: "Ok. Whatever. Kill him".
So Pilate may have been in authority and acted immorally, but he was being pressured into dealing with some unpleasant internal squabble within an alien culture he may not have fully understood. I understood why someone in that position would just want to put the whole thing behind him as quickly as possible.

Pilate: "Ok. Whatever. Kill him".
So Pilate may have been in authority and acted immorally, but he was being pressured into dealing with some unpleasant internal squabble within an alien culture he may not have fully understood. I understood why someone in that position would just want to put the whole thing behind him as quickly as possible.

Pilate was sent to be the governor of a perpetually restive and turbulent province that had already rebelled several times (IIRC). His remit was to keep the lid on. If the powers that be among The Tribe wanted this guy dead, it was easier to let them have their way than it was to risk yet another rebellion, for which he would have carried the can - and he knew it.
Think of Democrat politicians half-assedly "prosecuting" cops for the deaths of blacks in custody to quell the uproar in the ghetto.

A few decades ago, I went to the ER because I tried to cut off the tip of a finger. They kept pushing painkillers on me until a nurse finally asked the right question, which was, "were you chemically dependent?"
I had just gotten off the illicit substances I'd been on and really wasn't interested in drugs of any sort at that time.
I affirmed and all of them disappeared immediately.

Nah, H. Neanderthalensis came out of Africa a couple of hundred thousand years before H. Sapiens Sapiens.
At least as far as we currently know. H. Florensiensis (the hobbit that was found in Indonesia) was around 12,000 years ago. That means that the aboriginal Australians who got there 50,000 years ago crossed paths with the hobbits.
And the Denisovans, about whom we know nothing. We really know nothing, but it's all fascinating.

I do like the fact that we have some knowledge via DNA. I've followed the history of humans stuff for a while and before DNA testing everything scientists said seemed to be mere projection.
Oh, when Neanderthals and modern humans met they avoided each other. No, they killed each other. No, they fucked each other. It depended on the scientists' view of humanity.
Now the DNA has shown that it's at least a little of the latter, as far as can be proven.

The government pushed "pain management" on us by saying that no one could judge someone else's pain. Thats why we get the stupid 1-10 scale.
Some might even say that all came from the drug companies.
Previous to the mid-'90s, doctors basically said "sack up, you'll be fine" post-op to people and didn't let them take a little vile of morphine home with them.
And guess what? People were fine.
Now we've created a generation of people who are both in pain and addicted to opiates.
Some call that progress. Some say it's a flash back to the 1800's and opium houses and having massive numbers of brits and chinese and others around the world addicted to smoking opium.
Of course, thanks to SCIENCE, we can skip the gross opium dens and just inject it and/or pop a pill. So... progress?

I think people's faith in DNA is a bit more absolute and certain than is scientifically defensible or deserved. Given that DNA does different things at different times in development, the idea that we understand it well enough to make absolute judgement based on it is simply ridiculous.

...Are we really relieving any pain by giving people opiates, or are we merely giving them a distracting drug to be on instead? And then they get addicted to said drug, and their body starts conflating the addiction and the pain?
In other words, if the people in pain had never heard of opiates, would they find that Oxycontin relieved their pain as well as it seemingly does once they get addicted?
I don't know the answer, but I suspect that it's closer to the "opiates do nothing at all for the pain, but being high is preferable to not being high, then you get addicted and NEED to be high" side of the equation.
Either way, I think we'd be way better off prescribing bottles of whisky, or ounces of weed, or just about anything else to people in chronic pain then we are making them all heroin addicts.

I mean, I'm not against getting high, but that's all those drugs do is get you high.
You're lucky you were able to get off opiates with no ill effects
though. Many aren't so lucky. Heroin addicts have an over 90% failure
rate when trying to get off the drug.

There
is a difference between pain suppression and getting high. I've had
occasion to be on serious pain killing drugs a number of times and have
never had a problem with withdrawal. In retrospect I have suffered some
withdrawal symptoms but have never associated them with the drugs.

Which is why a growing number of doctors and states are experimenting with weed as an alternative to opiates. Opiates work for some, for some they are dangerous and doctors have been guilty in some cases of over prescribing.
But I don't think you or anyone else who doesn't suffer from chronic, debilitating pain can understand the lengths people will go to receive some relief. Yea, some will risk addiction because it is that bad.
Personally, I don't like opiates. Didn't do much for me but were better than Advil, but I can certainly understand why some would take them.

Exactly. And where's the line?
I mean, there are people who can smoke cigarettes for years without getting addicted to nicotine. There are probably people who can take oxycontin every day for years without getting addicted to opiates.
But for the most part, people get addicted to opiates fairly quickly.
And do they even know if their pain is from their condition or the first signs of withdrawals from the drugs? And if they do know, how is anyone else supposed to know?
And addiction being what it is... would they even be honest with themselves if they did know?

Alcohol is more dangerous to society in that context. A massively drunk person (which is the only way that alcohol can relieve pain) is a danger to all around him. ALcohol can make a person totally out-of-control.

Interesting you say that. The VA has started "prescribing" weed to veterans who were prescribed opiates. The ones I've talked to all claim it has the same effect as opiates in that it distracts them from their pain, but obviously with way fewer side effects.
My point in all of this is that I think the idea that opiates "relieve pain" is an even bigger joke. It doesn't. You just get fucked up and forget you're in pain. The insidious thing is people don't even realize they're fucked up and that they're addicts until they try to stop taking opiates.

I agree. Other than certain nerve blockers and anti inflammation drugs, no drugs truly "relieve pain."
It's a matter of getting people high enough that they can tolerate the pain. Currently, our options are have alcohol, narcotic drugs (opiates), and weed.
From that list, weed and alcohol seem much more preferable to me than opiates.
I don't really care what people do at the end of the day, I just find it sad that we have so many people addicted to opiates in this country and that those addicts proselytize those drugs to others and justify their addiction.
But I guess I did the same when I was a cigarette smoker, so I guess I can't really get on a high horse about it.

The problem isn't the prescription, the problem is driving while taking it. EVERY prescription of that kind is given with the instruction that one should never drive while taking it. THAT'S the bad decision that gets them in jail. Same thing as people who drive after drinking too much alcohol - the alcohol isn't the criminal act, the driving is.

Either way, I think we'd be way better off prescribing bottles of whisky, or ounces of weed, or just about anything else to people in chronic pain then we are making them all heroin addicts.

THat's an interesting suggestions. I have chronic pain, and CAN'T take opioids-I metabolise them weirdly, so that they give me no pain relief, and I just get violently sick. (ex: I was given fentanyl for twilight anesthesia for a cancer surgery. It did nothing. I felt every cut, pierce, bone breaking, etc. The managing anesthetist was most upset. I was a sobbing mess.)
I can control the pain with exercise, heat and advil when it gets bad, but not much else. But...it works for me. I'n not pain free, but I am not relegated to my bed doing nothing. So maybe, doctors (and insurance companies) should consider alternative options for pain reduction. It would help a lot of people, and perhaps reduce drug overdoses. If it saves one life...

The biggest "danger" in driving on weed is driving too slowly and carefully and being too careful to obey all traffic laws.
It's when alcohol *and* weed are involved that bad stuff happens. And that's due to the alcohol, not the weed.

Sure, as long as we're calling it what it is.
Doctors are are getting people high to the point where they forget they're in pain.
I accept that there's some utility in that, I just don't think we need to use something as dangerous and addictive as opiates to do that. ESPECIALLY for acute pain.
I guess it when it's an end of life situation, and it's like -- well, let's just make grandma comfortable by getting her really high on morphine while she's dying.
But far too many young people are throwing their lives away with a doctors blessing by rolling the dice with opiates.
We as a society learned this lesson once in the 1800s / early 1900s. Sucks that we need to re-learn it again.

I'm lucky that I haven't suffered deep long lasting pain very often (have family that does) but the times I have (one, a badly messed up knee that hurt enough to wake me up every 15 minutes every night for 2 months straight, and two, oral surgery for an infection in my upper jaw which ended up with a bunch of bone being carved out and replaced with a bone graft) ANYWAY, in recovering for both of those incidents, I was given Tylenol 4, i believe (tried tramadol, totally useless on me) and I found that when I took it while I while I was in pain, it would make me feel normal, not high at all. If I had taken the same dose without pain, I would have been high as a kite.
So yes, I can say from my personal experience, that the opiates I was given countered the pain, and when the dosage was right they did not make me feel "high" in any way.

Sure. But when 1/4 of the US population is prescribed opiates in any given year, you can imagine most of them are driving around.
Especially the people who take a daily oxycontin for chronic pain, and not the ones who are taking a few pills after surgery.
But in my state, every car accident with serious bodily injury requires the driver submit to a drug / alcohol screening, and any amount of opiates in your system means an Agg DUI is in your future.

I won't bore you with the details, but NASA did a HUGE roll-out of her 'findings'. Network news reports were breathless and admiring. Until...oops....turns out it was all sloppy science. Which we funded.

" In April 2011, Time magazine named her to their list of 100 most influential people in the world for 2011.[7] Wolfe-Simon last posted on her Twitter account as "ironlisa" in May 2011.[8] This "science by press conference" soon went the way of cold fusion except that when this estrogen-driven disaster to the reputation of astrobiology went off the cliff, it left no skid marks. In June 2011, she left Ronald Oremland's laboratory at U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park. She commented "It's quite possible that my career is over."[9]

My point in all of this is that I think the idea
that opiates "relieve pain" is an even bigger joke. It doesn't. You
just get fucked up and forget you're in pain. The insidious thing is
people don't even realize they're fucked up and that they're addicts
until they try to stop taking opiates.
Posted by: Harry Paratestes at March 19, 2018 01:04 PM (F5+ro)
I think some people have a predisposition to addiction (or has that been proven already). I had bilateral knee replacements and chowed morphine or oxycodone to get through PT. First, it didn't make me dopey because the pain was pretty intense and it just prevented it from breaking through completely and yes, I drove there and back. Of course I took a cocktail of B12 and Oxy. for PT. Why not amirite? Some mild depression when I weaned off but nothing major at all.

Not really. Driving while high usually ends up with the person surprised that he actually arrived at his location safely.
Being high messes with ones sense of time and focus. It's very easy to get distracted while driving high and reactions are not nearly what they are normally.

I think the major marijuana argument is anti-nausea, not pain relief. Chemo fucks people up and pot negates it.
And then "they" try to isolate the compound that will cure the nausea without getting you high, because getting high is bad.

Your observations don't track with my personal experience. I've experienced "high" or "effed up" during pre-op for my various and sundry surgeries over the past 4 decades. I know the feeling.
I've been prescribed opioids (tablet form) for acute pain (post op) and chronic pain (lower and upper back).
I follow the dosing instructions and they work without making me "high" or "effed up".
Would I get that way if I went well beyond the prescribed dose of if I crushed and snorted the pills instead of swallowing them? I suspect I would.

But just for this example, when you stub your toe the pain is already long gone in the time it takes to just get to the fridge and pour the beer.
Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at March 19, 2018 01:25 PM (8gDQu)
Yes, my argument is that the opiate class of drugs, cleverly marketed as "pain relievers" do not, in fact, relieve pain in the same was an anti inflammatory drug will relieve inflammation.
They relieve pain the same way alcohol relieves pain. If you drink a few beers after being injured, you are in "less pain" then you were before you drank.
But only because your mind is getting clouded up by the effects of the alcohol.
The same is true of opiates.

Not exactly. Opiates release endorphins in the brain that occur naturally as pain control or pleasure signal. It just increases the natural phenomenon. That's why the longer you take opiates the more that is required.

Thanks for the kind sentiment. I was, as the liberals love to say, just asking questions. I could be wrong (yes!), but I want substantive answers to those questions before I back off of my skepticism. Failure to receive such answers only makes me more skeptical yet.
See, e.g., dietary salt as raising blood pressure. Huh? Why wouldn't you just pee out excess salt? Isn't maintaining osmotic homeostasis a crucial function of the kidneys? (Drink a quart of water and you pee out water. Run around on a hot day, and you pee out molasses.) So what was the response to my question?

Recently reports have come out that the salt-blood pressure connection is crap.

Because
a) they don't relieve pain
and
b) multiple studies have come out in recent years saying opiates don't relieve pain, which chemically makes complete sense since there is no reason to expect opiate receptors in your brain to "relieve pain"
and
c) we have, as you may have noticed, a huge problem with opiate addiction in this country due to doctors getting people high on highly addictive drugs laughingly called "pain killers"

No, no that's my point -- google research in to the effectiveness of opiates verse non opiate painkillers.
It'll make your eyebrows go up.
Use, the drug companies got the FDA to approve opiates as pain killers in the '90s until now based on the questionable theory that opiate receptors influenced pain. We now have years of actual real world evidence that says, "nope, as many expected, opiates don't do much for pain at all. In fact, anti inflammatory's are just as effective in double blind studies."

Yes since anti inflammatory's are actually reducing the pain level by reducing what is causing much of the pain in the first place I would expect them to be effective.
If the subject is how to effectively relieve pain - allow me to point out that 3rd degree burns don't hurt; the nerves are dead and can't cause pain. Pain is the nervous system's way of reporting that damage is occurring to itself. Once the damage has destroyed the nervous pathway there is no more pain. So - hangnail hurts? Let me hold this branding iron to it. There all better - no pain.

on that legal prescription for chronic pain when they passed out behind
the wheel while driving and killed people.
=====
No. If you are referring to the study that claimed that 80% of heroin addicts started with a legal Rx, I looked up that study at the NIH website and it is pure junk science.
First of all the findings are based entirely on the word of heroin junkies, because we all know they don't lie to gain sympathy. /sarc
Second, the study didn't even ask if the junkies took street drugs like meth and crack *before* going through their oxy stage of drug addiction.
Third, the actual claim of the study was that 75 to 80 percent of heroin addicts used Rx opioids "non-medically", which means "illegally". This includes people who got the Rx drugs from family, friends, and on the street.
So the study did not even address the issue of whether or not legal Rx opioids were the gateway drug to heroin, as claimed by the media.
I gook morphine daily for several years and had NO problem weaning myself off as the pain receded.

I said the nervous pathway - clearly these people have not had the entire pathway destroyed. Dead nerves don't hurt. Live nerves attached to a dead nerve can if the dead nerve is damaging the live one. People with amputations often have pain in the missing part.

The procedure made it 10X worse.
There are some good books out there on brain plasticity that explain how chronic pain works and the importance of stopping it.
The brains of people with chronic severe pain actually develop changes in the brain as the pain receptor sites enlarge and take from areas needed for balance, cognitive abilities and other things.
Posted by: girldog at March 19, 2018 02:39 PM (g5YYQ)
Sorry you are wrong, man created it that way - but it turns out the body does produce it. Otherwise why would the nervous system have receptors that respond to it?
