George Soros‘ Shocking ’Methadone Man’ Comic Book Touts Virtues of Drug

Just when you thought the campaigns coming out of George Soros’ Open Society Institute couldn’t push the envelope any further, the Soros backed institute topped itself. OSI reportedly just released a new comic book titled Methadone Man and Buprenorphine Babe — which encourages drug addicts to use Methadone and Buprenorphine to combat heroin and other opioid drug withdrawals and even to fight HIV.
The drugs Methadone and Buprenorphine are of course used to treat addictions to heroin and other opioids, however, the two drugs are also highly addictive and bring with them a laundry list of side effects. Many people who go on Methadone maintenance to treat their heroin addiction merely end up substituting one addiction for another. This is why the use of Methadone and Buprenorphine are hotly contested by both anti-drug advocates and members of the medical community.
Soros’ OSI — which runs an international “Harm Reduction and Drug Use” initiative as part of its health program — has just published the 24-page, glossy comic book to promote OSI’s theory that Methadone and Buprenorphine maintenance programs drastically reduce the rate of HIV infection in countries with high-risk populations.
Methadone Man, the superhero, reportedly crusades against the “War on Drugs,” while promoting the use Methadone as a tool to treat addiction and to stop the spread of HIV. “Methadone stops HIV in its tracks!” declares Methadone Man. “Buprenorphine each day keeps injection away!” adds his attractive sidekick, “Bupe Babe.”
The Fix adds:
The Open Society’s program is part of a larger effort to lower HIV infection rates among injection drug users. The recent International AIDS Conference in Vienna declared that the War on Drugs is helping to spread AIDS and called for a policy overhaul. The Vienna Declaration was signed by thousands of people worldwide, including the Nobel-laureate co-discoverer of the HIV virus and other prominent health-policy figures. President Obama’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief also reportedly endorses MAT and harm-reduction strategies. A raft of methadone treatment programs were recently initiated in countries including Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Morocco, Cambodia and Bangladesh. In countries that already have MAT programs, like Georgia, Kyrgyszstan and Indonesia, IV addicts face prohibitively long waiting lists. The Open Society’s five-point harm reduction approach to reducing HIV infection also includes increasing needle exchanges, legal reform to end the focus on criminalizing addicts, increasing the availability of antiretroviral treatment, and teaching addicts to take care of their sexual health.
Touting the virtues of two highly addictive drugs, without even mentioning that each carry their own inherent risk of addiction and side effects seems irresponsible. If the welfare of drug addicts and those infected with HIV are truly a concern to Soros and OSI, then why aren’t other options, such as abstaining from intravenous drug use even explored by Methadone Man and “Bupe?”

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 9:43pmTHE VISION OF POPE LEO XIII
Exactly 33 years to the day prior to the miracle of the sun, on October 13,
1884, Pope Leo XIII had a vision. Here follows an account of that vision:
According to the most widely accepted version of what happened, On October 13, 1884, after Pope Leo XIII had finished celebrating Mass in the Vatican Chapel, attended by a few Cardinals and members of the Vatican staff, he suddenly stopped at the foot of the altar. He stood there for about 10 minutes, as if in a trance, his face ashen white. Then, going immediately from the Chapel to his office, he composed the prayer to St. Michael, with instructions it be said after all Low Masses everywhere. When asked what had happened, he explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of the altar, he suddenly heard voices – two voices, one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. As he listened, he heard the following conversation:
The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasting to Our Lord: “I can destroy your Church”
The gentle voice of Our Lord: “You can? Then go ahead and do so.”
Satan: “To do so, I need more time and more power.”
Our Lord: “How much time? How much power?
Satan: “75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service.”
Our Lord: “You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will.”

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 9:53pmI don’t know, it’s probably the same everywhere, but here, where I am in Maine, methadone clinics are just a money making scam. They put people on the stuff and get tax funded subsidies for as many as they can keep on it. I know too many people that just take their state funded doses in the morning, just to go back to bed and then get up later in the afternoon to pursue other, less pc, less legal drugs in the afternoon. People are not encouraged to get off the stuff, but merely strung along so that their masters can make a few more bucks.
Report Post »People like Soros are at the heart of the problem. Very liberal and saying they are there to help, but ultimately, just contributing to the demise of our society, In their well intentioned, ill thought out plans for our future, they neglect to take into account human nature. Just making out a blank check to “Drug addiction” will only encourage more of the same. That’s the liberal mindset. Throw wads of money at the problem and feel goood about ourselve’s, but when the **** hits the fan, it‘s someone else’s fault when things go bad.
I have no doubts that the Soros and the liberals have real concerns about the problems facing our country and the world, but they are sadly misled and poorly informed in the nature of human interaction. I think they watch too much s“Star trek”.

The overall designs for the populace are to be productive to the regime not suck off their monies. The production of the state will only be available to the believers. Just like today they want abortion clinics on every street corner and if one or all are sterilized so be it. In a perfect society there is no welfare. If they have to shovel thousands of bodies in a pit they will have no regrets. Just look at the Soviet Union, millions died for lack of food, drug addiction,alchohol addiction to the effect that the male population suffered. All this retoric about feeding the poor and advancing the welfare state is just a sham. They know when it all stops, riots will allow the Gov to declare everyone a criminal of the state and subject to death. It seems to me everyone sees the leaves on the ground but not the trees and certainly not the forest.

We can not run people out of America simply because they promote despicable, idiotic ideas. Freedom of Speech is far more important than comfort. Just because Soros is promoting an idea that you disagree with, does not mean that we can forsake the rule of law. Additionally, we need this speech and these ideas as a counterpoint to the ideas that we are promoting.
I feel that the biggest problem that we are facing at this point is not that someone else is talking about something that we disagree with, but that we have not learned from the left about minimum and maximum goals. The TEA party can be painted as extremists while going for compromise because we have not expressed out maximum goals clearly. If we can tell the world our Maximum goals first, then compromise to our minimum goals, there is no way to paint us as extremists.
Last, never fall into using government to solve your problems. If you do, you are promoting the agenda of the left.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 7:52pmThe premise of “harm reduction” ideology is that since people are going to do what they do regardless of what society says, it is useless to lecture them and demand they change their ways. Instead they are to be taught or given tools that will reduce the harm from their harmful behavior. That this is a classic form of enabling destructive behavior does not bother zealous Harm Reductionists because they think they are at least minimizing death and disease even though the self-destructive behavior persists. They assume that individuals are not responsible for their choices and that it is the role of the government to step in to protect them from the consequences of their behavior.
This way of thinking says that since teenagers are not going to listen to anyone and are going to have sex no matter what anybody says, one might as well forget about abstinence and pass out condoms, birth control pills, abortion on demand, and information about sexually transmitted diseases in order to reduce harm. It is the reason clean syringes and needles are given to practicing IV drug abusers.
Methadone maintenance and buprenorphine(Suboxone) are legitimate medical treatments and should not be confused with “harm reduction” ideology.

My parents were my mirror as I was in a fog and pushed me to get off these nasty narcotics. I checked myself into a detox where I began a suboxone program (another name for buprenorphine) that I followed and got my life back. I did not take any of Soros’ money but paid for it through my own pocket with the help of my employers healthcare that I earned and paid for through hard work.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 8:22pmPolitical rationalism is superficial and neglects the many complex causes and effects of human behavior in its quest for simplistic unitary models and proposed remedies for social problems. Reducing the extraordinarily complicated phenomenon of drug abuse to a handful of economic and legal and medical concerns is an example of such shallowness. Those who propose to ignore the moral valence in the drug abuse equation think that this is either outmoded or irrelevant and that it need not be considered in formulating a rational response to the matter, This is a serious misunderstanding with important consequences.
A society willing to accept and condone the use of mind-altering substances other than alcohol is not the same as a society that prohibits such use. The prohibition is a moral sanction backed up by legislation. It is an important social and cultural value that the use of mind altering substances other than alcohol is undesirable and wrong. It is disapproved of – and the disapproval is rooted in deeper cultural soil. The effectiveness of legal prohibition, its cost-benefit ratio, the medical aspects, are all quite distinct issues from the moral values involved.
A nation of potheads would be a very different nation from the American Republic we know. Of course we are well on the way to becoming a nation of potheads, as the success of radical Left Democrats and the election of a character like Barack Obama to the presidency only too plainly remind us.

If you understand physics and golf, you have no argument against what I just said. The war on drugs has lost.

Posted on August 27, 2011 at 12:55amMy kill ratio on internet games is higher if I smoke pot, but I doubt if that would translate into a high kill ratio if I had to defend myself or my family from drug crazed rioters. Legalizing drugs is equivelant to national suicide.
I don’t believe a game of golf can be enhanced with pot, sorry.

LMAO…. potheads can’t muster up the energy to play golf PROBI. They usually get side-tracked by Doritos before they even get out of the front door. Then there would be that driving thing. Going 10 MPH in a 55 MPH zone, then getting rear-ended in front of the Quick Mart… they’d eventually forget where they were going in the first place… then a flasback…. DORITOS… and into the Quick Mart they go.
Then an hour or two later after the effects of the “Drug of the Dumbarse” has worn off they say to themselves… “Whoa Dude… WHAT A DAY! I think a little relaxation is in order. WHERE ARE THE DORITOS!”
Friggin‘ dope smokin’ losers.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 7:36pmYou can make an illegal activity as safe as you want. It’s still illegal. I’m sure the Nazis had the same propaganda to promote their agenda. Soros probably read some of it while he was helping them.
Using an illegal drug is a danger in itself. The possibility of getting HIV is the consequence of their actions. People who use these drugs have to be held accountable for their own actions. Anyone who knowingly spreads HIV to another person should be thrown in prison for murder and denied medical treatment.

Report Post »Teleologicus
Posted on August 26, 2011 at 8:35pmIt is not such a good analogy since the condoms would protect the victim more than the pedophile himself. “Harm reduction” ideology attempts first and foremost to reduce harm to the AGENT, e.g. to the pedophile, although the argument is usually made that there are benefits to others and to society at large. But “harm reduction” begins with the reduction of harm to the agent caused by his behavior.
Giving pedophiles software to cover their internet tracks and scrub their computers clean of incriminating images would be a better example of how “harm reduction” ideology works. The reasoning would be that prevention of detection, arrest, prosecution, and possible conviction would constitute reduction of the harm caused TO THE PEDOPHILE by his behavior.
