 In the ongoing battle over drugs from Canada, the monopolistic U.S.
pharmaceutical companies and the FDA have resorted to all sorts of
mob-like tactics: they've threatened resellers with legal action,
they've engaged in scare tactics to try to make people afraid of drugs
purchased over the border, and they've even strong-armed credit card
processing companies into snooping on online pharmacies. Their latest
tactic, though, is downright despicable: they're intentionally creating
a shortage of certain prescriptions in Canada to force American buyers
to buy locally (at sky-high monopolistic prices, of course). It's
yet one more unscrupulous tactic from an industry that will do anything
to control the market and boost profits -- even if it means denying
prescriptions to customers in Canada who might be depending on them. One
U.S. organization that's been very creative in finding ways to
circumvent this FDA / pharmaceutical monopoly is the American Drug Club,
and they've just announced they're going to start filling prescriptions
from the U.K. to cover the manipulated prescription shortages in Canada.
See, the last thing U.S. pharmaceutical companies want is a free
market. They don't want free trade, and the've signed up the FDA to
enforce their domestic monopoly. That's why you see the FDA passing new
regulations and scaring people with lies about Canadian drugs being
"more dangerous" than the same drugs purchased in the U.S. If they are
more dangerous, asked the Governor of Minnesota, where are all the dead
Canadians? The fact is, we now live in a global marketplace. With
the Internet (which the FDA and pharmaceutical companies would rather
shut down, by the way), people can share information about prescriptions
and even place international orders. For some elderly folks, a savings
of just $50 / month is a very big deal. But in the U.S., the drug
companies would much rather exploit all the old folks and figure out
ways to extract as much money from them as possible, regardless of the
ethics involved. That's bad medicine, and it's standard practice here in
the United States, where ethics never get in the way of making a buck.
Maybe the FDA will learn from the U.S. military and just start
torturing people who run online pharmacies. I'm sure Fox News would
report it as completely justified. Since everything in this country is
framed in terms of war, they could call it, "The War on Drugs." Hey,
isn't there already a war on drugs?
