Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
No one should trust Big Farma
I lost someone to the opioid epidemic early on. He was prescribed oxycontin after a car accident.
I watched him deteriorate and tried to get him health.
The hospital viewed him as an addict and not their problem but it started as doctor prescribed.
'Justice comes but sometimes it's delayed.' Lets all hope so!! Better yet, visualize it actually happening.
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
I agree with you and believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don't know who agrees with me but either way I recommend real estate or crypto and stocks.
Yeah!! It would be more beneficial and yield more profit if you actually trade on cryptocurrency, I've been trading since the dip, I've made so much profit trading.
I am interested to know more and invest in Crypto please
trading is easier with proper guidance, especially from a professional, Newbies who are not aware of how crypto truly works and wish to make profits from it, I would advise to invest with a professional like Fergus waylen, It helps secure and minimize the possibilities of losses.
I'm honestly surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of his clients testimony last week in CNBC world news
They knew what they were doing
They sure did, along with public health gutterment agencies... called pain the "new vital sign" because "undertreatment of pain" being a "public health crisis "
Indeed. And more.
Medicines are only fit for old people.

(At the least, that misLeadership Man, can drop some memorable enduring great quotes and Codes, unlike our misLeaders, in our lands, today of the dazed and confused.)
That is exactly why they did it...to get more addicted, so they could make more money!
Follow the $$$$$$$$$$.
And KNOW THEY'RE INTENT OR MOTIVE.
God Bless America 🙏🏽🌄

The problem is that certain opioids can actually be a safer alternative for those living with extreme pain to drugs like Naproxen, ibuprofen etc - which is known for causing liver issues and stomach bleeds. It works in some people too. The problem is obviously addiction and dependency, it's imperative that doctors monitor patients intensively when on a course of opioid like morphine.
This has not been the case clearly. Patients have been prescribed them and then basically left to ween themselves off them. That's my personal experience anyway, here in the UK. I had major emergency surgery on my abdomen that resulted in me staying in hospital for 2 months.
I don't necessarily resent those responsible for prescribing them, nor do i feel any animosity to the politicians or families such as the Sacklers for bringing them to market. I believe the problem in my case was the aftercare, and the fact that my GP failed to monitor me correctly.
This has ruined many lives, not because of the effectiveness of the product, but the negligence and lack of training and understanding amongst the General Practitioners signing them off month after month outside of the ER rooms.
Those who wish to ban them entirely and stigmatise anybody that touches them, have never been really sick themselves with a life threatening condition and don't know what they're talking about.
It is astonishing that so little attention is given medically to cannabis because it can't be done legally, at least in the United States. Our laws are crazy: cannabis is in the FDA's Schedule 1 category, the same as heroin, yet cannabis is available for at least medical use in most of the states, and recreational use in a couple of dozen.
But the federal government prohibits research except at the University of Mississippi, to which the government sends one batch of very poor quality cannabis once a year. This never fails to frustrate and disgust the researchers.
Yet the potential medical benefits of correct cannabis use may prove eventually to be amazing. There are many traumatic brain injury survivors from explosive blasts who have found that cannabis use permits them to discontinue Big Pharma drugs. The vast majority of these survivors are, of course, veterans. The outrage is that whatever a person's state laws may be, if he's convicted of simple cannabis possession, he'll stand a good chance to lose all of his federal disability benefits.
I don't think our federal government is evil, just corrupt, stupid, too lazy to be valuable.
Just go watch Dopesick and come back saying you don't have any animosity against the Sacklers.
@@user-jd7xt5sm1j the total amount of ore scripts for oxycodone during that time equal up to 4 percent. FOUR PERCENT. I think the propaganda ought to stop. The sacklers did nothing different than any other drug co
Bye Bye pharma
END THE WAR ON DRUGS NOW 🇺🇲🦅
Not going to happen until you smash the prison guard Unions. They're one of the biggest lobbyists for it.
The war on drugs is just a fictional made for tv thing.
We are however actively in Chemical War and our Government is Very responsible 😢
Two missing comments.
There never was a war on drugs. Only an insanely stupid person would say there was.
@@barbarahouk1983 It's called censorship.
The stigma for opiate addicts must be removed so they can get the care needed to safely get off the poison. Thank you for the glimpse into the history of drug pushers. Hoping future generations will look back and say "justice was finally served for these brutes."
Find out how PhRM ∆ Fd ∆ and top invested stakeholders and the Joint Commission for hospitals (which basically opens flood gates to gov and HMO reimbursement), purposely knowingly created the genocide by new SOMA !™ PR for max profits and minimal liability and personal investment.

@My Cancer Journey This is someone else's story and it is not even a cancer story.... but it is a success story. And it is evidence that a long fight for health can be successful in the end. This is the YT video: From Vegan and Dying, to Carnivore and Thriving! ALSO: THIS YT VIDEO MAY HAVE SOME CLUES It is by Dr. Eric Berg and the title is: From Stage 3 Colon Cancer to NO Cancer Detected in 4 Months
Americans are far too willing to take prescription drugs. I understand there are legitimate amazing drugs for health problems but way too many people take drugs for little things. I know people that take antidepressants because it gets dark in the winter. I know people that pop pain killers for the slightest bit of pain. I recently had my gallbladder removed and my doctor tried to get me on prescription drugs for my digestive tract I said no.
I agree, but to be fair general surgery is a fairly good reason to prescribe a pain killer to a patient. We have the technology to reduce suffering and it should be used, but used far more sparingly.
Thank you Mr. Posner!!
You're doing God's work ❤
Where is the rest of this lecture?
In addition to a history of drugs being dumped into society, we have the modern drug dilemma with sugar. Sugar is 8-9 times more addictive than cocaine and heroine in all its wonderful forms.
Where are the full videos?

Prohibition doesn't work, it just makes the drugs more dangerous i.e the fentanyl crisis. Plus, Opium has been around longer than humans have been walking upright, so I'm not sure what this guy is talking about.
Nature is one thing……..mass industrialization and manufacturing with a 2000% profit margin……….is something else……….and that is the difference……and the Opium Wars will teach you that the drug cartels and the mules were people like the Grand Delano Family and our Great Naval Fleets……..who else can transport that amount of drugs to supply millions…….did you thinks a couple of natives somewhere can create such a business……go back to sleep…….just in case we get that big group of stupid who just can’t understand………
We've curbed drug issues in cities before. We can do it again.
Antidepressents saved my life, so I'm not sure what this guy is talking about.
It's not personal
I know what you mean, there are times when the benefits outweigh the risks.
@Jay's Philosophy Possibly cause you really were depressed and thankfully received help but so many are written scripts for everything and anything with no regard to long or short term side effects. Looking back at 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic in comparison to Covid and many of the deaths attributed to Spanish Flu were actually from OVERDOSING of aspirin. The salicylic acid was still pretty new to market and helped for pain and reduced fever but people took WAY TO MUCH. Death by bleeding ulcers and intestines and brain hemorrhages etc... So died in World War 1 from Spanish Flu outbreak could really be died from aspirin overdose.
I had suicidal depression and antidepressants ruined my life. They helped yours. This isn't a personal thing. It's an overview of a major issue needing to be addressed.
I don’t give any attention to drug epidemics people make their own choices they haven’t learned to make decisions.
Drug companies are evil, except for the one guy that that was discriminated against.
Is this a repost? It sounds very familiar, right down to the jokes.
He's making my brain explode!

Thank you HalleluYah!!
One of the best non fiction authors alive today! I highly recommend any of his books!
MINUS his books on JFK.
Stole 10 years of my life
Wow!
Posner's book on the JFK assassination, Case Closed, changed my mind from conspiracy based to Oswald acted alone. Absolutely destroys conspiracy claims.
Everyone knows they did it on purpose for money. Aldous Huxley's Soma addiction..in Brave New world
Exactly! And thats why Pot became legal in Canada in 2020, and now they are pushing “safe supplies” for heavy drugs, and there is a push for Mushrooms, the list goes on and on.
Am I right in thinking that penicillin was a factor in the development of big pharma
It was a Rockefeller scheme to control meds and doctors via "new drugs", all synthesized from petroleum. That's when real medicine was destroyed in the West. When these new drugs started giving people unheard of cancers, Rockefeller started the Cancer Institute, thereby cornering that market. The money involved is huge, of course. Vaccines were born from military bioweapon research as a necessary safeguard for troops against biological attacks. They have killed millions in pursuit of their agenda.
Who is the pope? Name?
The man of sin . Ruled with the beast for 1260 years .Drunk with the blood of the saints maybe? Puny individual antichrist or vicious duopoly of false religion/theocratic imperialist empire symbolized by the whore riding the Roman beast ? Sits on a throne in the temple of God ,is worshipped as God and claims to be Christ on earth ,holy father ? Or a professional pedo in a dress ?
We have all sat on that throne , in our own hearts and I still am , most of the time .. in my own head . Love is the answer .Christ .

The made pain a 5th vital sign hoping the addiction could start in the hospital.
I remember 20 years ago when my attending physician was red-faced and ready to fight when he said, "Dammit, they've done it. They will create an epidemic by making pain control important for patient customer service. They will ruin us!! Has anyone heard about an o2 sat? THAT'S your 5th vital sign." I remember pretty much every word because his anger was so scary. I thought he was going to stroke out.
