Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Tuesday his office is suing Purdue Pharma, maker of the opioid OxyContin, for violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
The civil action, filed in Travis County, alleged that the Connecticut-based pharmaceutical giant sold the “highly addictive” opioids through “aggressive and deceptive marketing efforts” by misleading doctors and consumers into believing these narcotics had a low risk of addiction and that they successfully treated long term pain.

Autoimmune diseases are on the rise, with more and more people being stricken with these illnesses each year. The fact that the average person’s overall exposure to chemicals, including metals, has drastically increased over the past century cannot be overlooked when discussing the synonymous rise of autoimmune illnesses.
Climate alarmists are losing the debate about a famous lab experiment ‘proof’ of the so-called greenhouse gas theory. For 30 years government scientists claimed carbon dioxide (CO2) ‘traps heat’ and/or ‘delays cooling’ of the atmosphere. But their experiment is widely being exposed as a fraud.
Before historic times there were prehistoric times and before prehistoric times there were erratic boulders. Based on known history it can be generally considered that the intellectual activity we now commonly call science was begun little more than four centuries ago. And based upon known history we have to accept that erratic boulders were discovered (recognized) less than two centuries ago.
There have been a number of powerful earthquakes since the volcano started erupting. In Pahoa, the nearest village to Kilauea, some schools remained closed after the area was hit by a 6.9 magnitude earthquake on Friday, the biggest since 1975.
Europe is moving closer to mandatory vaccination. The drive is spearheaded by a collaboration between the European Union (EU) and Big Pharma companies. Many citizens of EU member countries aren’t even aware of what is happening. Key high-level meetings are being held in secret.
Thanks to the support of our many friends who responded to our donor appeal we are proud to say our co-founder Dr Ball won the first of his important lawsuits against climate fraud. Our next target is another big courtroom win over Michael ‘hockey stick’ Mann.
Climate scientists are giving science a bad name, says a leading atmospheric physicist in an essay on the global warming debate.
Professor Garth Paltridge, formerly a chief scientist with Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Division of Atmospheric Research, says that the behavior of certain members of the climate science establishment is “seriously threatening the public’s perception of the professionalism of scientists in general.”
It’s nice to think we’re part of something bigger. And we are, really—in a cosmic, evolutionary sense.
A team of researchers from the United States and New Zealand took a look at how likely species were to go extinct and how likely new species were to appear during a 60-million-year period, long before humans evolved. Upon analyzing fossil data, it seemed to them as if astronomical cycles led to climactic effects that ultimately aligned with new species of plankton appearing and going extinct on Earth.
Europe is facing power generation capacity shortages and may even risk blackouts without additional use of natural gas, one of the continent’s biggest producers of the fuel said. —Bloomberg, 16 May 2018
Media in typhoon-prone Japan ignore new important findings suggesting hurricanes and typhoon intensification speed depends mostly on natural oceanic cycles, and not related to atmospheric CO2.
About 700 million years ago, the Earth experienced unusual episodes of global cooling that geologists refer to as “Snowball Earth.” Several theories have been proposed to explain what triggered this dramatic cool down, which occurred during a geological era called the Neoproterozoic.
Tampa (AFP) – A fresh look at data from a 1997 flyby of Jupiter’s moon, Europa, suggests that NASA’s Galileo spacecraft flew directly through a watery plume, raising hopes of probing the jets for signs of life around the second planet from Earth.
SPOTLIGHT: A can of soup isn’t as innocent as it might seem.
BIG PICTURE: According to the low-fat dietary advice we’ve all received, tinned tomato soup is positively virtuous. The nutritional labeling on the three brands stocked by my local grocer reveal that even if I consume an entire can on a blustery winter’s day, my fat intake will be less than 4 grams. Hardly worth mentioning.
