(hereinafter together "Pfizer") have agreed to pay $2.3 billion, the largest health care fraud settlement in the history of the Department of Justice, to resolve criminal and civil liability arising from the illegal promotion of certain pharmaceutical products, the Justice Department announced today.<br><br>Pharmacia &amp; Upjohn Company has agreed to plead guilty to a felony violation of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for misbranding Bextra with the intent to defraud or mislead. Bextra is an anti-inflammatory drug that Pfizer pulled from the market in 2005. Under the provisions of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, a company must specify the intended uses of a product in its new drug application to FDA. Once approved, the drug may not be marketed or promoted for so-called "off-label" uses – i.e., any use not specified in an application and approved by FDA. Pfizer promoted the sale of Bextra for several uses and dosages that the FDA specifically declined to approve due to safety concerns. The company will pay a criminal fine of $1.195 billion, the largest criminal fine ever imposed in the United States for any matter. Pharmacia &amp; Upjohn will also forfeit $105 million, for a total criminal resolution of $1.3 billion.<br><br>In addition, Pfizer has agreed to pay $1 billion to resolve allegations under the civil False Claims Act that the company illegally promoted four drugs – Bextra; Geodon, an anti-psychotic drug; Zyvox, an antibiotic; and Lyrica, an anti-epileptic drug – and caused false claims to be submitted to government health care programs for uses that were not medically accepted indications and therefore not covered by those programs. The civil settlement also resolves allegations that Pfizer paid kickbacks to health care providers to induce them to prescribe these, as well as other, drugs. The federal share of the civil settlement is $668,514,830 and the state Medicaid share of the civil settlement is $331,485,170. This is the largest civil fraud settlement in history against a pharmaceutical company.<br><br>As part of the settlement, Pfizer also has agreed to enter into an expansive corporate integrity agreement with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services. That agreement provides for procedures and reviews to be put in place to avoid and promptly detect conduct similar to that which gave rise to this matter.<br><br>Whistleblower lawsuits filed under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act that are pending in the District of Massachusetts, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the Eastern District of Kentucky triggered this investigation. As a part of today’s resolution, six whistleblowers will receive payments totaling more than $102 million from the federal share of the civil recovery.<br><br>The U.S. Attorney’s offices for the District of Massachusetts, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and the Eastern District of Kentucky, and the Civil Division of the Department of Justice handled these cases. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts led the criminal investigation of Bextra. The investigation was conducted by the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the FBI, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS), the Office of Criminal Investigations for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Veterans’ Administration’s (VA) Office of Criminal Investigations, the Office of the Inspector General for the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Office of the Inspector General for the United States Postal Service (USPS), the National Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units and the offices of various state Attorneys General.<br><br>"Today’s landmark settlement is an example of the Department of Justice’s ongoing and intensive efforts to protect the American public and recover funds for the federal treasury and the public from those who seek to earn a profit through fraud. It shows one of the many ways in which federal government, in partnership with its state and local allies, can help the American people at a time when budgets are tight and health care costs are increasing," said Associate Attorney General Tom Perrelli. "This settlement is a testament to the type of broad, coordinated effort among federal agencies and with our state and local partners that is at the core of the Department of Justice’s approach to law enforcement."<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/phizer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Phizer</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/bigpharma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigPharma</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/health" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/medicare" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medicare</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/ihs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IHS</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/hhssecretary" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HHSSecretary</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/healthandhumanservices" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HealthAndHumanServices</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/demexit" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DemExit</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/dumpthednc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DumpTheDNC</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/thirdpartynow" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThirdPartyNow</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/uspolitics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/green" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Green</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/progressive" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Progressive</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/radicalfeminist" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RadicalFeminist</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://spinster.xyz/tag/solidarity" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solidarity</a>

When Fascism Comes ...
Part II

7: Obsession with a Plot
Russiagate. The Dems leaned hard into a narrative that blamed all systemic failures on foreign meddling instead of confronting the rot within U.S. capitalism and imperialism. They fixate on “Foreign interference” or “MAGA extremissts” as the sole source of evil while ignoring how capitalism itself generates fascism. This distracts from the fact that Democrats emable right wing policies like funding ICE, mass deportation and incarceration, building the wall, expanding wars, arming and training literal fucking Nazis, bailing out corporate and monied interests, etc, etc.
8: Enemies are both Strong and Weak
“Russia will invade all of Europe” vs “Russian troops have to fight with shovels”. Or how Dems portray the GOP as existential threats to democracy while refusing to use their power to stop them. They mock Trump and MAGA, yet act powerless—using their opponent’s evil as fundraising fuel. They justify endless war, mass survelience, and repression while promoting bullshit and useless incrementalism and telling people they. Just need to “vote harder”.
9: Pacifism is Trafficking with the Enemy
Democrats fund every war machine the GOP does—NATO expansion, billions to Israel, drone strikes under Obama, and “humanitarian interventions.” They just sell war with a smile and inclusive language. Anti-war leftists are vilified as “isolationists”, “tankies”, or “useful idiots” for opposing US imperialism. The Dems expand wars while pretending to be the peaceful alternative.
10: Contempt for the Weak
Dems talk about “equity,” but gut social programs, criminalize homelessness, and let health care rot. They refuse Medicare for All while claiming “incremental change” is the best we can do. The pity the poor but refuse to abolish poverty because a desperate workforce enriches their monied masters. They mock leftists as naïve while accepting homelessness, medical debt, and police violence as inevitable or even as something to be attacked with more police violence.
11: Everyone must be a Hero
From “essential workers” to veterans, Dems romanticize suffering while refusing real aid. Think of how nurses and teachers were clapped for during COVID—but not protected, paid, or supported. The party promotes individual activism instead of collective struggle. It turns justice into moral branding and performative bullshit that doesn’t threaten the status quo.
12: Machismo and Weaponized Identity
Dems champion cops, intelligence agencies, and surveillance. Biden boasts about increasing police funding. The party doesn’t question violence—it just manages it better for the ruling class. They elevate warmongering women as their “feminism” and pickwash imperialism. They use identity politics as a shield.
13: Selective Populaism
The Dems invoke “working families” while ignoring strikes, busting unions, and siding with corporate donors. Their populism is aesthetic, not material. They bailed out Wall Street, crushed the Occupy Movement, funded police while pretending to care about BLM, called Palestinian solidarity protestors “violent antisemites”.
14: Newspeak
The Dems rebrand imperialism as “democracy promotion,” corporate exploitation as “public-private partnerships,” and austerity as “fiscal responsibility.” Language is their weapon to hide the violence of empire and capitalism. Progressive = Neolberalism with rainbow flags. Diversity = More Black cops, Latino CEOs, and female drone pilots. Democracy= Rigged primaries, corporate donaors, lesser-evilism, and working hand in glove with Republicans to crush any viable third party or independent representation on our ballots.
Dems aren’t quite openly fascist like Rubs but they stabilize the system that creates fascism. They are collaborators. By absorbing dissent, expanding state repression, and preserving oligarchi capitalism at all costs they ensure that the left has been disarmed, co-opted, and marginalized. They actively pave the way for blatant fascism by promoting fascists as part of their suicidal “pied piper strategy”.

When Fascism Comes, It Will Come From the Left

1: Cult of Tradition
Despite marketing themselves as progressives, they cling to the sanctity of institutions built on settler colonialism and slavery. “Restoring democracy” often just means restoring capitalist order. Just look at the bullshit Biden and so many others promoted about needing a “strong Republican Party” and returining to the “norms” of bipartisan oligarchy. Or look at the neoliberal fixation on the “free market” and American Exceptionalism as a sacred concept. They preserve the core of an exploitative system while offering only performative concessions.
2: Rejection of Modernism
The Dems weaponize “science” and “reason” to support technocratic rule and corporate solutions (think Silicon Valley and Big Pharma). They shut down deeper critiques of structural violence under the guise of “rational governance.” They reject actual anti-capitalist modernity in favor of traditional neoliberalism and corporate friendly branding, greenwashed capitalism, and incrementalist “fixes” that leave the power structures intact.
3: Action for Action’s Sake
"We did something!" is the Dems' favorite defense for weak reforms. Symbolic gestures (kneeling in kente cloth, Pride flags at embassies) distract from endless wars, police funding, and corporate giveaways. They appear active, but act in defense of capital. They thrive on symbolic gestures while delaying or watering down material change. Their “activism” is just busywork for the left to keep them silent and to absorb dissent without threatening capital.
4: Disagreement is Treason
Critiques from the left are ignored, mocked, or branded as “helping the right.” Whistleblowers like Snowden or Assange? Persecuted. Pro-Palestine protestors? Labeled as antisemitic or threats to national security. The “party of inclusion” loves censorship when it protects empire. They equate critique, especially from the left, as “working with Trump” or a bunch of other irrational bullshit. They smear socialists, anarchists, and anti-imperialists as “divisive”, “purists”, or “Russian assets”. Dissent within the party is co-opted, marginalized, or outright crushed.
5: Fear of Difference (Managed Dissent)
The Dems perform diversity while enforcing the same border regimes and foreign policies that devastate Black and Brown communities globally. They celebrate “representation” in high places while upholding racist institutions (e.g., ICE, the prison-industrial complex). While claiming to celebrate diversity, they assimilate resistance into harmless identity politics, reducing radical movements like BLM or Palestinian solidarity into toothless donor approved performative activism that doesn’t threaten capital or empire.
6: Appeal to a Frustrated Middle Class
Democrats pander to suburban professionals and Wall Street donors, ignoring the working class, then blaming the poor for voting "wrong." They co-opt labor language but never threaten capital’s power. They market themselves as the saavior of the “middle class” while offering crumbs, at best, to the working poor. They help the relatively priveledged while leaving the most oppressed behind.
