Senator Lamar Alexander were you duped by the U.S. Pain Foundation?
Let me know Senator Alexander when you will be holding a hearing for family members to testify how their loved ones were prescribed dangerous opioids, became addicted and died because of criminal marketing by pharma.
Marianne Skolek Perez, Investigative Reporter
(MYRTLE BEACH) On February 12, the National Director of Policy and Advocacy for the U.S. Pain Foundation testified at a hearing of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. The hearing “Managing Pain During the Opioid Crisis” was chaired by U.S. Senator Alexander. The National Director arrived on the Senate floor laying on a cot and at the point of testimony, transferred to sitting in a chair. In 2015, she had testified in front of the U.S. Senate laying on a yoga mat holding a microphone.
Kentucky your drug epidemic has a name and a face — Meet Jon!
Jon’s sister wants answers — and is entitled to answers — as are the thousands of other families who have lost loved ones in drug torn counties like Butler, Kentucky.
Marianne Skolek Perez, Investigative Reporter
(MYRTLE BEACH) By way of introduction, Kentucky this was Jon. He was a son, a father and a brother. He was loved by family and friends. On July 27, 2018 Jon died in a drug ravaged town in Butler County, Kentucky where the words “empowerment”, “prevention”, “education” and “treatment” are not used. Jon died of a drug overdose. The deaths have become a matter of daily routine and accepted — even by law enforcement. Why investigate the cause of death or who provided the drug(s) that ultimately kill residents of war torn towns in Kentucky? There will only be another “Jon” dying tomorrow and the next day and the day after.
Purdue Pharma and “The Sacklers” Crimes Against Humanity!
Was critical information withheld that potentially could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives to addiction and death as billions of dollars were put in the pockets of the perpetrators and their benefactors?
Marianne Skolek Perez, Investigative Reporter
(MYRTLE BEACH) Attached are photos of the front page of The Orlando Sentinel who did an explosive series in October 2003 on Purdue Pharma and their deadly new drug, OxyContin. The series exposed the criminal marketing of OxyContin by Purdue Pharma in a 5 part series. You will not find this series on the Internet. Fortunately I have copies of the newspapers and will protect the name of the journalist who I consider a hero for the investigative work put into the series. The journalist was an award winning writer, who as a result of this series, caused Purdue Pharma to threaten The Orlando Sentinel and the journalist was unceremoniously terminated.

Did US Congressman Tom Marino (PA) resign amid a looming congressional investigation?
In 2007, Congressman Marino resigned from his position as a U.S. Attorney in Pennsylvania after a Department of Justice investigation was launched against him for giving a reference to a convicted felon to operate slot machines.
Marianne Skolek Perez, Investigative Reporter
(MYRTLE BEACH) Less than a month into his re-elected term in the House of Representatives, Congressman Tom Marino tendered his resignation today and will vacate his seat in six days. Although Marino did not cite a reason for leaving his prestigious elected position, he announced his plans to work in the private sector and use his vast legal and business experience to create jobs around the nation.
Assad’s Syria protects Christians and Jews, did you know that?
Doesn’t America support non-sectarian or secular countries, that protect religious freedom? Newsflash… Syria’s role in the so-called Arab Spring was created in America.
Tim King Global News Centre
(SALEM) Parts of the world have been entirely swallowed up by Islamic extremism. This undeniably true fact begs the question, why has the US tried so hard, in a failing manner, to unseat Syrian leader Bashar al Assad when his govt. protects religious freedom?

Opioid Epidemic - The Root is at the Top - the FDA!
Maybe Dr. Gottleib can answer my question which begs asking “If Dsuvia (Sufentanil) is restricted to use in certified medically-supervised health care settings ‒ such as hospitals, surgical centers and emergency departments ‒ for administration by a health care professional how does that qualify a battlefield?
Marianne Skolek Perez, Investigative Reporter
(MYRTLE BEACH) How did Dsuvia also known as Sufentanil sublingual receive FDA approval when Scott Gottleib, MD, Commissioner of the FDA acknowledges a “crisis of opioid addiction”? On November 28, 2018 I wrote an article for several publications regarding the threat to human life with the FDA approval of Dsuvia (Sufentanil). The opioid is to be administered sublingually (faster absorption) and is approximately<b> 5 to 10 times more potent than its parent drug, Fentanyl and 500 times as potent as morphine. Links to my article are shown below.
“FDA remove Sufentanil (Dsuvia) as you did Palladone in 2005! It’s dangerous!”
Janet Woodcock, MD is current FDA Director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Maybe she can advise under her watch — during an opioid epidemic in the U.S., why she does not question the dangers of Sufentanil (Dsuvia) being released on the American people.
Marianne Skolek Perez, Investigative Reporter
(MYRTLE BEACH) In early 2005, I exposed Purdue Pharma, maker of OxyContin, for marketing a dangerous opioid called Palladone. In July 2005, Palladone was removed from the market following an FDA request because of “safety concerns” An FDA news release stated that “serious and potentially fatal adverse reactions could occur when Palladone (hydromorphone hydrochloride) extended release capsules were taken together with alcohol.” (See news release below).
FDA’s Continuing Arrogance and Indifference to the Opioid Epidemic as Death Toll Rages!
In my seventeen (17) years of communicating with the FDA regarding the approval of opioids by their agency and the resulting epidemic, this is the first time that I did not receive a reply from them. Concerning? You bet it is.
Marianne Skolek Perez, Investigative Reporter
(MYRTLE BEACH) The FDA has announced a meeting of the Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee for October 12. I am extremely interested in this meeting where a very dangerous opioid named Sufentanil will be discussed by the Advisory Committee and I plan to attend.
Proud Boys: Trump’s Misogynistic, Anti-American Gang Bangers
Sad men who beat up girls while exploiting white privilege, proud of what?
Tim King Global News Centre
Angry, mostly white protesters flooded the area around the Oregon state capital Saturday for an anti-immigration protest. Many are from a gang called “Proud Boys”. Before it was over, one person opposing the group’s Trump inspired hate tactics; a man standing alone in opposition to the rally, was physically contacted by a Proud Boys member. The anti-fascist ejected the proud boy from his space, then others brought me to the ground, and stomped my hands as I tried to recover the lone opposition activist’s camera. Oregon State Police and Salem officers separated everyone in the scuffle and restored calm.
