Who’s funding Paul?
Napoli Shkolnik, a law firm involved in major opioid lawsuits, received funding from Fortress, a third-party investment firm.
Investors can profit when these lawsuits succeed.
Now that kratom is facing increasing legal scrutiny, we need to ask: Is the same litigation-for-profit model being used against kratom?
Who is financing these cases, and who stands to gain?
"Paul, why kratom."
Me: "Same receptors. Same playbook. Same receptors. For a lot of kids this will be first opioid they're offered and it comes from a store, not a dealer."
"Oh."

I’m literally blown away by the amount of people that fell for the total garbage that they got fed at that press conference yesterday.
If you’re an American, we as a country are in over $40 trillion in debt, have spent approximately $15 trillion in foreign countries and foreign wars over the past 25 years, and yet they have done shit updating our infrastructure that is literally falling apart.
And then they force all airplanes to stop yesterday creating chaos all over the country and fear among the American people sending them to the grocery stores buying emergency supplies and then they turn around and demand more money, $50 billion, and then lie at a press conference about what happened.
I don’t care who they are. I don’t care who you voted for, if you’re not pissed off then there is absolutely no help for you.
Yes, duh, we need to update our systems.
Yes, duh, it takes money to do that.
We, as Americans, pay $5.7 trillion a year in taxes, they have plenty of money to update all of our infrastructure all over the country if they actually gave a damn, they would do it.
But they don’t give a damn.
And if you’re living under some delusion that they do, then you’re beyond help.
Washington DC doesn’t work for you the American people no matter which party is in control.
They work for the big corporations and lobbyist, the big donors that fund their campaigns, and even foreign nations for foreign causes.
Wake up!
The American people are basically raped, robbed, and pillaged over and over again and if you continue to stay loyal to a political party like you are for your favorite sports team and excuse every single failure just because that’s your party, then you are not able to face truth and reality and nothing will ever change.
You get treated like crap because you take it and you continue to vote for it.
I’ve been to Washington. I know how it works.
The bullshit ends when you finally stand up for yourself and realize they’ve been lying to you all along and using you like a dirty rag and they have no intention of changing anything.

Bro, they aren't even trying to hide the corrpution anymore!!
The FAA airline stoppage story is a MUCH bigger one than the ground stop itself, and I only saw it once I started following the money and who gets paid...
Here is what I found...
The official line is that it was NOT a cyberattack and NOT a "nefarious act."
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy points at overloaded routers and old broken equipment. Sure we can take that at face value, because it matters for what comes next.
Because on the SAME day, the White House went to Congress for 10s of billions of dollars to rebuild air traffic control, and Duffy pushed the number EVEN higher on camera.
Both happen on the same day, a very public failure declared NOT an attack, and the argument for a VERY large cheque built straight on top of it.
Whether the outage was engineered or was just the system rotting on schedule, the political result they are after is the SAME, the breakdown becomes the justification for MORE MONEY.
The money is the whole point here, and it ends up in one place...
The "brand new" air traffic control system contracts was handed in December 2025 to a single prime contractor, Peraton, a company owned by the private equity firm Veritas Capital, and chosen despite limited FAA experience.
The full program is priced at around $31 billion dollars. Congress has so far put up only $12 billion as a "down payment." The rest is still UNFUNDED.
So Friday's breakdown arrives as the pressure to approve the rest of the SAME program already promised to the SAME private contractor; Peraton.
Most US airports are public, owned by cities and airport authorities, but the terminals and the systems get built by private firms, and that is where the billions flow, out of public failure and public money into private hands.
So who are those PRIVATE HANDS benefiting most? Who ultimately gets the money?
The prime contract went to Peraton, a private company owned by the private equity firm Veritas Capital.
And who funds Veritas? Its investors are Israeli institutions: Clal Insurance $100M, Migdal Insurance $60M, Menora Mivtachim $50M, plus ~$150M from private Israeli investors, all in its at least $15.3 billion fund.
Peraton’s lobbyist is Mark Bednar also sits on the board of the "nonprofit" that funded Sean Duffy’s TV show “The Great American Road Trip”.
This is the question, and it needs to be examined by EVERYONE.
A pressure tactic to MOVE public money into private hands, while America and Americans pay for it with 5,000 cancelled flights and the economic fallout from that many cancelled flights…
The proximity is on the public record too, lobbying and personnel links running between the contractor and the officials now asking you to fund it.
Americans ate the cancelled flights and a wrecked weekend.
The money walks the other way, into private hands, and the whole thing is dressed up as an emergency repair.
Who will investigate this corruption and conflict of interest?

Faith is the enemy of an intellectual work ethic. Taking someone's word for it without evidence is at the root of so many major social problems

Years ago, while in fervent prayer inside my restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, I cried out “Here I am, Lord! Send me!” I did not know at that time where He would send me. He sent me to 53 Colorado counties and to our Nation’s Capitol.
He sent me to serve.
My time to be sent to another unknown place is now.
God’s got this.
He’s got US! Jesus is Lord and I am proud to live in the greatest country on earth! Stay Tuned!

You're right. Same playbook. Call it heroin. Say it's handed out like candy. Say it's causing an opioid crisis. Say the industry is causing a huge spike in addiction, which was never true even for Rx opioids. Get some third party litigation funding. Get some grieving parents for astroturf orgs that you attack if anyone dare to question the actual cause of death of their kids. Make some documentaries, some streaming Hulu and Netflix series, prime that jury by buying some media, push it out every day all day, then file those mass tort cases, petition to have it in an MDL, celebrate your win while millions are harmed. Glad to hear you admit it's the same playbook.

More Kratom propaganda
Never forget 60 Minutes is also responsible for an increase in suicide in the pain community
60 Minutes was paid to do a hit piece on kratom
FinanciallyCodependently retweeted
Here is the other part of this mass tort playbook of the grieving parent. They're priming the jury. See when you put the "poor kratom addict" as a victim, even if they died with 20 drugs in their system, and you portray the typical kratom user as selfish people who don't care about grief of a parent, the jury will be less likely to care about the person losing access to kratom. They did this with Rx opioids, they're using the same playbook.

Opioids are a “my body, my choice” issue. No other reason needed
“They might kill you!!!” Don’t care. If you’re worried about that, don’t take them.
“You might get addicted!” Again, dgaf. Lots of legal things are addictive.
“They don’t work!” For you. For me, they do.

Care to explain why you’ve been publicly promoting and consuming a known deadly nervous system depressant narcotic Paul?
Drinking a narcotic that kill THOUSANDS of underaged high school and college students every year?
Why aren’t you fear mongering about alcohol Paul? By the numbers and toxicology it’s literally tens of thousands of times deadlier than kratom.
Why isn’t alcohol a public health crisis Paul? If it kills 200 thousand Americans every year, why are you promoting it?

Honestly the best piece of advice I can give to younger girls trying to figure life out is to completely ignore men. I'm not being quirky or cute when I say that, I mean it seriously. Ignore men's judgments of you, ignore their insincere compliments, ignore their half-assed romance. Focus on developing yourself. Practice your art, play sports, do theater, volunteer, spend time with your friends, but do not put substantial effort into pleasing men. They'll be there for you to pursue when the time comes and if you want to. But nothing will waste your youth more than fighting for male acceptance.

So the lawyers and recovery/suboxone lobbyists funding your NGO harassed 60 minutes and fed them unscientific bullshit so you could win more lawsuits. Cool. How about you publicize the actual toxicology report of your ‘grieving families’ so we can see just how official they are

Nelly Furtado claimed she was "like a bird", however she also claimed to be a "maneater", so it doesn't take a paleontologist or ornithologist to deduce that Nelly Furtado is in fact a Velociraptor

None of these anti-kratom activists woke up one day and decided to vilify this plant. They’re being funded by third-party investors and you’ll never know who those investors are.
Right now, they’re generating fear and priming potential jurors for God only knows how many lawsuits against kratom manufacturers.
Addiction nonprofits like Shatterproof and FedUp are also part of this anti-kratom movement.
They all have something to gain from this war on kratom, much like what we witnessed during the manufactured opioid crisis.
This is about lawsuits, pushing kratom consumers toward the highly addictive opioid Suboxone, and finding ways to justify the continued use of opioid settlement funds.
And where is the evidence that pure kratom leaf alone is causing these deaths? Why aren’t we seeing the full toxicology and autopsy reports? What other substances were involved?
Same playbook used in the manufactured opioid epidemic
