That's what I would do if I were driving that boat.
Sounds like Obamatollah’s “protection racket” scored another $40 million for the Marxist cause.
Governor Cuomo runs a racket like that in NYC. Financial firms get a call, “Did you meet with Mr. Smith 2 years ago? Oh you sat down with him but decided not to do business with him? Well, he’s being investigated for XYZ, and unless you want your firm’s name dragged thru the mud (which could ruin your business), we suggest you pay this fine or your company name will pop up during Google searches of the Mr Smith investigation.”
Guess what? The firms pay the protection money to get the DA off their back for crimes they didn’t commit and aren’t even accused of.
This pure all out extortion of UPS by the government.
So now UPS is supposed to do the job of the police?
that is, of course, absolute insanity....it accomplishes nothing and costs an American company 40 million dollars, which the government will immediately grant to a muslim stronghold somewhere or another.....pathetic.
I smell rats, here. Notice how the article uses the phrase “illegal Internet pharmacies” a total of SIX times?
That indicates to me that the purpose of the exercise seems to be to vilify. Especially because while they mentioned what appears to be criminal acts on the receiving side, they never said *why* “illegal Internet pharmacies” *are* “illegal Internet pharmacies”.
While they want to make it appear that these are people sending illegal drugs, I also noticed that they used the meme: “...potentially unapproved, counterfeit, or otherwise unsafe prescription medications...”
And this is how in past they have tried to describe legitimate pharmaceutical sales from Canada. Drugs that cost a quarter of what they do in the US, yet are made by the same manufacturer, which intensely annoys the US “big pharma” industry, who want it outlawed.
“Under the Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987, it is illegal for anyone other than the original manufacturer to bring prescription drugs into the country. However, federal officials have decided to exercise “enforcement discretion” in dealing with prescription drugs brought across the border, provided the drugs are not narcotics or other controlled substances.
“This means that as long as a person brings back no more than a three-month supply for personal use, border officials generally look the other way, Thomas McGinnis, director of pharmacy affairs for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in March 2001. Patients generally may order refills in amounts up to a three-month supply without interference.”
And it drives big pharma crazy, thinking of all those millions of dollars not going into their pockets.
