Poland C.I.A. "Black Site" Pays $260,000 Detainee Reparations Per European Court Of Human Rights For Allowing C.I.A. Poland Torture Site Imprisonment

     Saturday, 16 May 2015, WARSAW - Marcin Wojciechowski the chief spokesperson for Poland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday said that Poland will meet the deadline set for today by the European Court of Human Rights last July 2014 for Poland to pay $260,000 in reparations to two C.I.A. detainees for Poland having allowed in "violation of their human rights" the C.I.A. in 2002 to imprison them in a reportedly now closed C.I.A. "secret facility" in northeast Poland to "interrogate" (unspecified as to whether C.I.A. "enhanced' or C.I.A. "not enhanced" version) the two alleged terrorism suspects with Mr. Wojciechowski stating of Poland that "[w]e will abide by the ruling, as we always do".
     Mr. Wojciechowski this past February said that authorities had made arrangements for the $260,000 reparations money to be put into accounts that the two "suspects" could access only after they have been released. The two men Abu Zubaydah, identified as a "high-ranking Al-Qaeda official", and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, "accused" in the planning of the 2000 attack on the American destroyer Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden, currently still are being held by the U.S. apparently 13 years later without charges (and therefore may not have a very good idea when they might access their reparations money assuming they even know it has been awarded and paid to them) in the American "military" prison in Guantanamo Bay.
     Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) endorsed by other U.S. senators at the time of the public release of a summary of the U.S. Senate Torture Report last year which concluded that the C.I.A. under the control and responsibility of the not-really-elected Bush-Cheney administration and then-current top C.I.A. officials unequivocally committed acts of torture stated that the continuing operation of Guantanamo Bay is "the best recruiting billboard that terrorists have today".  The Ninth Amendment editorial board would like to suggest that at least the second best "recruiting billboard" terrorists now have today is called CNN (aka TNN "Terror News Network").

Fentanyl Narcotic Heroin Additive Nationwide Alert Issued By U.S. DEA

     Tuesday, 31 March 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) headquarters on 18 March 2015 issued a nationwide alert on the Schedule II narcotic anesthetic/analgesic fentanyl and analogs which reportedly are 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine and 30 to 50 times more potent than heroin according to DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart who also states that the euphoric effects of fentanyl are indistinguishable from morphine and heroin.
     Ms. Leonhart states that fentanyl is potentially lethal at doses as low as 0.25 milligrams. The Ninth Amendment does note that the drug not uncommonly is prescribed by pain control specialists including as patches for controlled release through the skin. Fentanyl may be laced into heroin and can be extremely dangerous by injection having been known to kill even anesthesiologists who given more ready access to fenatanyl have abused it and overdosed and according to at least one physician have in some cases even been found dead while on duty in hospitals with syringes still in their arms.
     The DEA warning was issued largely because nationally "heroin abuse has increased". Ninth Amendment field reporters confirm that in fact by all appearances a renewed heroin epidemic affecting all "classes" of society has been sweeping across the United States. This has been recognized individually by a rapidly growing number of states left to face the consequences of the problem but seemingly has not yet been publicly recognized by the United States government. CNN's Anthony Bordain in his "Parts Unknown" series while reporting one heroin ravaged upstate New York community where he attended a meeting of former addicts apparently identified himself as having been addicted and moreover also observed that a heroin epidemic has caught up not only traditional problem urban areas but small and rural communities stretching across the country without discrimination as to race or economic status.
     Reasons for this new heroin epidemic may include that not for the first time a hopefully well-intentioned DEA initiative has gone seemingly predictably badly awry in this case being the rescheduling of opiate medications widely prescribed in the United States with no effective followup or backup plan in the case of consequences unpredictable apparently at least to the DEA. The DEA is not a health agency but an enforcement agency like the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) both under the auspices of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ).
     The Ninth Amendment previously has reported in an earlier post for example on the DEA's years-long effort pressuring the independent U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reschedule hydrocodone aka Norco aka Vicadin and other names apparently finally successfully resulting in later 2014 in the prescription medication's reclassification from Schedule III to Schedule II (with a six-month grandfathering exception into 2015 for patients with refillable prescriptions of the medication at the time of the rescheduling). At the time of the rescheduling hydrocodone was the second most prescribed medication in the United States after hypertension medications.
     Nationwide millions of former and present patients have become addicted to opiates in recent years by prescription medications from physicians who "Big Pharma" effectively through massive "promotional" bribery were convinced to suspend disbelief that opiates were addictive. At least one pharmaceutical company while hosting physicians to an all expenses paid week-long paid junket at an exotic location at one of the "teaching presentations" justifying the tax-free promotional holiday actually represented that obviously potentially highly addictive opiates posed less than a 1% chance of patient addiction. The aggressive efforts of big pharmaceutical companies to market opiates through physicians was wildly successful resulting in an unprecedented number of patients being prescribed them in various opium derived and synthetic opioid medications.
     Now with the changed regulatory climate many patients are finding themselves addicted to opiates as physicians effectively dump many of them on the streets as they try to distance themselves from intense scrutiny from the DEA, FDA or state medical boards according to more than one physician. This pressure has increased to the point of increased personal visits by federal drug agents extending according to one pharmacist even to pharmacies. Meanwhile many states have brought or joined lawsuits against the large pharmaceutical companies for their extreme marketing of drugs known to result in high addiction rates which are costing states hundreds of millions of dollars in health costs and untold potentially "ruined lives" of their citizens.
     The Ninth Amendment emphasizes "potentially" ruined lives as a reminder that as shown by Anthony Bourdain's above-referenced CNN "Unknown Parts" episode in which he sat in on a community meeting of former addicts where government assistance is completely lacking or unavailable there are others who have come to fill the vacuum or have long been there as in the case of Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and other similar groups. The Ninth Amendment does not purport to provide any medical advice whatsoever to anyone at all. Those in need of medical advice must seek it from a properly licensed health professional.
     Readers interested in more information on fentanyl and its analogs may go to the link directly below to the above-referenced DEA headquarters alert below although directed mainly to law enforcement is informative and also has a link to another DEA site section with apparently more scientific and/or medical background on fentanyl. Those who do not wish to visit the DEA site should be able easily to search for more information on fentanyl using their preferred search engine or the Wikipedia search function located here at the bottom section of the Ninth Amendment.

ISIS "Threat" To U.S. National Security Vastly Overblown Or Non-Existent Senior U.S. Counterterrorism And Intelligence Officials Assert Follows Month-Long Public Terror Fueled By Incessant CNN Other Media Repetitive Coverage Exploiting Same Isolated Events Such As Deeply Sick Beheading Of Two American Journalists

        Thursday, 11 September 2014, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Welcome to the new paradigm of "news" (acronym for North, East, West, South) courtesy most obviously of CNN where seemingly every item very effectively makes viewers feel compelled to be sure to return after (or hopefully sit entranced through) incessantly repetitive advertisers' brainwashing "breaks" for morbid fear that should viewers fail to be present for what the odds should have long ago taught them almost certainly just will be yet another exactly the same word-for-word image-for-image similarly "brainwashing" piece that previously has been aired (cabled or whatever) most likely several hundred times already in the past day other than perhaps with a slightly different introduction reflecting the winning personality of the host of the hour be it Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper the man present at all places at all times, Don Lemon or whomever.
       After how many hundred airings does the same segment lose the status of "Breaking News" on CNN which with its ever-growing casual interpretation of the term now seems to blaze it across the bottom of the screen constantly for most anything along with the casual convenient repetition of the term "LIVE" even for items seen days before presumably based on the unlikely argument that CNN lacks the technical capability to remove the term "LIVE" from the piece even once it becomes untrue (immediately), and now in any case failing the above CNN it would seem has resorted to more or less denoting entire news shows as "Breaking News" or at the very least "Developing News" should CNN really not be able to come up with a straight face with anything else sounding more like the commercially invaluable imminent unfolding crisis of the moment.
       In any case as touched on in the below linked article in today's New York Times apart from the apparent commercial benefit to CNN of the above tactics unfortunately for example as in the case at hand of the repetitive flooding literally thousands of times of Americans' and the world's television screens with the same images of two deeply pathologically depraved ISIS beheadings of American journalists unfortunately this has the presumed effect of serving exactly the purpose of aspiring terrorists to panic viewers into absorbing these two incidents rather than isolated as into what then become in viewers' minds rather cumulatively into virtually thousands of separate acts greatly distorting the presumed reality of at least the present American situation including unfortunately vastly inflating any immediacy of any threat to hundreds of millions of Americans such that they mistakenly perceive this scant totally incomplete information as any kind of actual proof of a infinitely powerful ISIS of unlimited reach which senior American officials increasingly have come to conclude it is not.
       Admit it or not CNN thus becomes the necessary tool of the vast dissemination of the gratification of distortions of a propaganda machine which without CNN would be essentially non-existent. Having stated this the Ninth Amendment editorial board however emphasizes it is appropriate, necessary and essential to expose such atrocities most widely to the extent that it makes a nation and its people accurately informed, rightly on guard and justly enraged at the sheer unmitigated evil which has been perpetrated against its citizens although this should not extend to the counterproductive fostering of uncontrolled terror which ultimately interferes with people's ability to adopt the most rational and lethally effective strategies in response.
       Readers in no way should interpret this as a downplaying of the significance of known horrific acts of heinous murders of Americans be it of a couple or hundreds by ISIS and most especially all kidnapping, torture and/or murder of innocent human beings who moreover as journalists have with their families and loved ones made huge personal sacrifices and risked their lives every day exercising their rights of free speech and the press in the extreme so that all of us comfortably at home in safety may stay informed of vital developments the world over that inform our opinions and help properly guide our governments' policies every day. These journalists are heroes and be it the work of special forces or whomever those who commit these abominations must be hunted down like rabid dogs and should they make it out alive be tried as the war and/or genocidal human rights criminals mass murdering terrorists that they are.
       The proof of this effect on Americans is addressed more extensively for interested readers in the New York Times article linked to below which documents the huge shift in public opinion on the threat of ISIS in the past month not only among a vulnerable population of average Americans but extending to those in serious government leadership positions as well. Most notably Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel apparently has been caught up in the hysteria although President Obama has refrained from describing the ISIS threat to American domestic national security as "imminent".
       However on reading the article in its entirety readers may draw comfort or not depending on their assessment of the individuals involved from the fact that current and former top U.S. counterterrorism, intelligence and Homeland Security officials including those with vast Al Qaeda experience in no uncertain terms in most cases describe the present ISIS threat to U.S. national security as "non-existent" or virtually so. In fact the main concern of many now is to "tamp down" the media-manipulated "terror" of United States citizenry such that decision-makers may step back and give thoughtful and deep consideration to actions which as we long ago have learned could lead to all kinds of unintended consequences including some that are more dangerous in many complex ways ultimately to U.S. regional and national security interests than those the U.S. actually would achieve by "eradicating" ISIS. This could be expected experts say also to lay the groundwork (or rather trap) for another "yearslong" U.S. combat presence in the Middle East just at the time the U.S. finally had hoped to extricate itself from some of the remaining vestiges of the Cheney-Bush debacle which started in a matter of hours but has taken well over a decade to even come close to ending.
       Perhaps most telling an omen it has come to the attention of the Ninth Amendment's editorial board that Dick "Pigheart" Cheney whom sources frankly believed was dead (as in not just the walking kind either) has in past days made a very rare appearance before a closed-door group of House Republicans whom he urged not to walk away from the Middle East but encouraged increased involvement without specifically mentioning ISIS. Any advice comes from Dick "Pigheart" Cheney after his head spins and he emits green projectile vomit and in our humble opinion it is time to run, not walk, as far as possible from anything he recommends or anywhere he goes, especially in which he participates or offers the services of one of his latest renamed gang of mercenaries, felons and as yet unconvicted (or escaped) criminal killers and murderers from whose serious misdeeds he stands to profit whether by more atrocities and murders or just another tired scheme to rip off the United States Government from which he already has profited so handsomely. Luckily in this case the Republican group reportedly humored him with his meeting but at least publicly said they paid his words little heed indeed.
