Stryker Medical Crimes

Stryker Spine Faces More Lawsuits

Stryker Corp. (NYSE:SYK) is fielding legal challenges on two fronts, one from a former distributor and DePuy Spine and another from a Utah man claiming a Stryker pain pump destroyed his shoulder.

DePuy and BioInitiatives Inc., a former Stryker Spine distributor, asked a California judge for an injunction barring Stryker from enforcing a non-competition clause in the now-expired deal with Roseville, Calif.-based BioInitiatives. Under California law, the Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) subsidiary and the sales agent argued, would violate California’s ban on non-compete agreements.

“Defendant Stryker Spine has recently engaged in activities to enforce comparable non-competition provisions towards other distributors. Although confident that the non-competition provisions are void in California, defendant Stryker Spine’s conduct has caused plaintiffs to seek an order from this court confirming their position and avoiding the expected long and drawn out legal fight,” according to a document filed with the U.S. District Court for Eastern California.

The likelihood of a turf war where people are killed like in the days of the Mafia is nonexistent. Today, because of no justice for the common man what could happen is some sort of revolution. Americans may seek do it yourself justice. I hope that this loathsome industry cleans up its act before some disgruntled loved one a patient/victim goes postal. The times they are a changing and Americans are getting fed up.

Former Stryker CEO and Corporate Gangster Stephen P MacMillan

New questions emerged about the abrupt resignation of Stryker Corp.'s chief executive, Stephen P. MacMillan, and the company's discussion with analysts that he had a romantic relationship with an ex-employee. (In other words he was fucking a whore who belonged to a board member)

The 48-year-old executive resigned Feb. 8 after apparently losing the confidence of some key board members at the medical-device maker, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Regulatory controversies and Stryker's Sordid Past

Since early 2007 the company has received three Warning Letters from the Federal Drug Administration citing issues in compliance.^[11] The first of these, a seven-page correspondence, named various issues at an Ireland-based manufacturing facility such as untimely fix of failures and procedural noncompliance in the testing of failed or otherwise problem-prone devices.^[12] The second, sent November 2007, cites issues at the firm’s Mahwah, N.J. facility including poor fixation of hip implant components, in some instances requiring mitigation by revision surgeries; exceeded microbial level violations in the cleaning and final packaging areas of the sterile implants; and failure to institute measures in prevention of recurrence of these and other problems.^[13] The final warning letter, sent April 2008, cites issues at the firm’s Hopkinton, MA biotechnology facility. Again, issues relate to quality and noncompliance including falsification of documents relevant to the selling of products to hospitals which are to be sold under a limited, government-mandated basis. Stryker maintains that employees involved in the falsification of documents have since been terminated.^[14]

In the Fall of 2007, Stryker, along with the related companies: Biomet, Zimmer Holdings, DePuy Orthopaedics and Smith & Nephew, were involved in civil ligation with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General. This litigation called for a net payout of $311 million as the governmental department maintains the aforementioned companies engaged in unlawful kickbacks to physicians who urged hospitals to purchase their respective products. Stryker, however, having cooperated early in the investigation, was not fined.^[15]

More Criminal Activity At Stryker... 

As of February 2008, a dispute exists between Stryker Corp. and the U.S. Department of Justice concerning a subpoena linking the company to aforementioned misconduct in sale of products. Since governmental filing of the injunction, Stryker notes that it has produced in excess of 300,000 pages of documentation in compliance with the mandate. U.S. Government counters, however, that the documentation was not proper in scope and format. Law officials expect the investigation to continue for several months.<sup>[16]

As per usual nobody goes to jail because the corporations are people who really  are above the law. Folks, this is the sort of criminal activity that would land the common "citizen" in jail for a very long time. Corporations and corporatists are above the law. 

Stryker knows that they are above the law and their criminal activity has increased.</sup>

Republicans Lies About Benghazi

The Democratic members of the House’s Benghazi Select Committee have caught Republicans in a lie about Hillary Clinton’s emails.

In a letter, the Democrats on the Benghazi committee wrote:

We urge you to withdraw the ill-considered subpoena—whose issuance to a cooperating witness served only to highlight the increasingly partisan nature of the Committee’s focus — and to immediately publish the Secretary’s emails in their entirety, as she has requested. Allowing these emails to be made public will help clear up any misperceptions and will also help return the Committee to its original purpose, investigating the tragic events in Benghazi, rather than allowing it to become a surrogate for the Republican National Committee.

Issuing this subpoena unilaterally with no deliberation by Committee Members, leaking information about the subpoena before informing Democratic Members, and providing inaccurate information at a press conference all contribute to a perception that this Committee is now targeting Secretary Clinton for political reasons rather than to clarify any remaining facts relating to the attacks in Benghazi.

The Democrats pointed out that Republicans already knew that Clinton used a private email account. The Republicans are inaccurately claiming that documents have been withheld, but former Sec. of State Clinton via the State Department has already turned over 55,000 pages of emails to the Benghazi committee.

During a press conference committee chairman, known liar and suspected pedophile Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) claimed that Clinton used multiple personal email accounts, when the fact is that she used just one. Republicans are desperately trying to inflate this story so that it becomes an issue during the 2016 election. The Benghazi committee is a sham. A more accurate name for this political sideshow would be The Committee to Dig Up Dirt on Hillary Clinton.

The Benghazi Select Committee was already a waste of time. The claims that Republicans are investigating were debunked years ago. Democrats aren’t playing defense on this bogus story. They are knocking down Republican lies before they can get off of the ground. Republicans are already lying in order to inflate the story. Benghazi has been a bust for Republicans, and Hillary Clinton’s email account can’t revive their bogus conspiracy.

The Truth About Christianity And Why It is Bullshit

Just watch.

Republicans love to bang the Bible but like Republicans and everything they say, the Bible is BULLSHIT!

Religion and particularly the Abrahamic ones are used as a tool by governments to control people but because the Christian and Muslim myths are so full of evil humanity has been stifled and the human race has suffered as a result.

An Interview With Chris Christie

Republicans Are Christian Hypocrites: Cut Your Throat Chris Christie

Look at this big fat hypocrite oinking away. Either stop enjoying food so much or slit your own throat. Chris Christie is a big fat greedy glutton and normally we would like that but he's also a Christian and Christians are not supposed to be gluttons. Clearly Chris Christie is a glutton. Look at that fat fuck oink for job killer Romney.

Here is a brief interview with Chris Christie conducted by the Chef.

Chef: What do your think about the fact that Romney won't fess up about his taxes?

Chef: Would you like to have been in Romney's cabinet?

Chef: What are your oinkpinions on Donald Trump?

Christie: Trump Tower has some great restaurants. They put on one hell of a feed. OINK!

Chef: Why pie?

Christie: Blue berries and raspberries grown on bushes and I love  blue berry and raspberry pie.

Cop's Lives Matter

I'm not a fan of today's cops. There certainly are a lot of good people in law enforcement but sadly there are a whole lot of bad people, particularly the ones in command. They are the ones responsible for the deplorable condition of today's law enforcement officers. They have turned the police profession of policing into an industry and by doing so they have turned Serve and Protect into Harass and Collect.

I would guess that the majority of people who go into law enforcement go into it with best of intentions or at least that's how it used to be. Certainly today there are too many people wearing a badge and a uniform who should not be given the power that a law enforcement officer has. A cop can ruin your life and even take your life.

Blindly hating police is just plain stupid. The cop on the street -- the men and women in blue really do have a tough job. They are forced to deal with the dregs of society and they witness some very horrific things like dead bodies and child abuse. This is not meant to excuse the criminal conduct of so many of today's LEOs but I hope that people will see that there is more to policing than eating donuts and fucking with people. For many reasons too people wearing the badge and enforcing our laws are not qualified to be wearing badges and enforcing laws. We need better cops but more than that we need cops from the top down whose number one priority should protecting and defending the constitution of the United State.

Why not be polite to cops even when they are fucking with you? Is you ego so big that you can't be a bigger person than some bully cop.

Show some kindness. If you are thinking about killing cops why not start out killing them with kindness? So what if in your mind that cop may not deserve a kind word or a thank you for doing his or her job. Maybe if it happens enough it may soften a hardened heart as open a closed and jaundiced mind. While a lot of cops were bullies and thugs before they went into law enforcement more may have become that way because of the culture and the pressures of the job.

Before you go blindly hating cops, consider that fact that this person has a family for whom he is supporting. Consider the unpleasant tasks these officers are charged with doing. While the actions of police are often inexcusable bitching about it and saying shit like "fuck the police" solves nothing.

Cops lives matter and to the mouthy assholes in the #BlackLivesMatter movement if you have a problem with that next time some ghetto rat is fucking with you, don't call the police for help. Deal with it on your own as you further plunge the Black community deeper into the abyss of ignorance and self-destruction.

With the way so many Blacks behave today, it is hard to believe that Black lives matter much to them.

Socialism Defined

Socialism is defined as an economic theory, system or movement where the production and distribution of goods is done, owned and shared by the citizens of a society.

We have socialism when it comes to the corporations and banks and that would not be so bad if the banks and corporations were forced to play by the rules. They don't because of the Golden Rule and the Golden Rule states: The guys with the gold make the rules but they need not follow those rules.  

Socialism can work and work well. 

Socialism is not a political system. It is an economic system just as capitalism is not a political system but rather an economic system. Neither system will serve the people unless there is representative government that reflects the will of the people. We don't have that. That said, under a socialist economy there will be a more equitable distribution of wealth. That would lead to more power to the people.

The US political system has been called a plutocracy and it was a plutocracy but today the rich don't simply rule; now they steal and the steal with immunity. America is now a kleptocracy. We still have capitalism but it is vulture capitalism. 

Under socialism there would be a more equitable distribution of wealth. CEO's boards of directors and all other corporate officers will get paid what they are worth unlike Carly Firoina who nearly destroyed Hewlitt Packard. Workers would have the power to fire CEOs and be on boards of directors. 

MORE THEFT!

Americans are working harder than ever but their wages don't reflect that. Rand Paul is telling American to work even harder. What a fucking asshole. Anyone who tells you that hard work pays off is full of shit. That may have been true at one time but it is not true now. 

As you can see CEOs in America make obscene salaries and that's is not counting their other compensation. If you think this is fair, you are someone I would goad into a fight and I'd put your evil ass in a coma.  

To any right wing asshole reading this; before you call someone a socialist learn what socialism is. Otherwise STFU.

Those ignorant loud mouthed whores who have been staling and disrupting Sander's message are most likely unwitting plants controlled by the RNC. Republican dirty tricks are nothing new. Sanders handled it well by being gracious and their puerile plan backfired. 

In the above video a Sanders supporter exposes the idiocy of the ludicrous and ill fated Black Lives Matter movement. Please take the time to hear what this man has to say about those rude, crude and crazy women.

Black Lives Matter Is Racist and Stupid

The Black Live Matter movement is bullshit and racist. All lives matter. A bunch of hos from Black Lives Matter shutdown a Bernie Sanders rally. I would ask my readers to tweet Black lives matter and tell them to go fuck themselves. Down load the above image and tweet it to them. Hound those hypocrites and expose their hypocrisy.



Blacks Lives Matter is stupid because of all the innocent unarmed Black men who have been gunned down by cops they have picked a Mike Brown a brutal thug who attacked police officer Darren Wilson and tried to grab his gun. In spite of the fact that Wilson is probably a thug cop Brown deserved to to be shot. Wilson acted appropriately and he did society a huge favor when he killed Michael the thug Brown.

Please take the time to watch this video by Tommy Sotomayor where he explains the hypocrisy in the reactions to police killing unarmed White males vs unarmed Black males.

"Gentle Giant" and thug Mike Brown

This is not to say that American police aren't dangerous thugs. Cops are not responsible for the fact that African American culture is deplorable but they are responsible for harassing innocent Blacks and all other American citizen.
