NYC knew of potentially deadly risks of 9/11 toxins, insisted Lower Manhattan safe: Memo

A bombshell memo made public Thursday proves the city knew about the potential risks of Sept. 11, 2001 toxins weeks after the terror attacks — as officials told New Yorkers it was safe to return to Lower Manhattan, local pols said.

City Council Speaker Julie Menin and Councilwoman Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan) unveiled the October 2001 memo, in which Big Apple lawyers admitted the city could face tens of thousands of lawsuits, including from people exposed to toxins after being advised they could return to the area around Ground Zero too soon.

“Health advisories caused individuals either to return to the area too soon (causing toxic exposure or emotional harm) or too late (causing economic hardship),” the city Law Department wrote in the memo to Bob Harding, then–Deputy Mayor for Economic Development under Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

“As we head into the 25th anniversary of 9/11, it’s really just shameful that the city gave this information and refused to disclose this information,” Menin, who ran a small business in the Financial District at the time of the attacks, said outside City Hall.

“This is just such a shocking situation,” she said, “that the city of New York has failed to take responsibility for telling the downtown community and first responders that the air was safe to breathe and that we should all be staying in Lower Manhattan.”

The document does not show that the city knew about the contaminants still filling the air when it advised New Yorkers it was safe to return to the area around the World Trade Center.

But it served as a “risk assessment” showing lawyers for the city admitting they could face up to 10,000 liability claims from residents over potential respiratory issues from contaminants including metals and asbestos, Menin said.

Nearly 50,000 first responders and others have been diagnosed with 9/11-related cancers.

The so-called “Harding memo” was first referenced in journalist Wayne Barrett’s 2006 book “The Grand Illusion,” though it was never clear how he obtained it.

It was finally found last week by the pro-bono attorneys for 9/11 victims at the University of Texas, which inherited Barrett’s estate.

Though the university told victims’ lawyers in December that they had no record of the memo, clerks agreed to comb through 300 boxes of Barrett’s documents – and found the missing memo in January.

“It is outrageous, and it is shocking, and it is heartbreaking that … the state of Texas is telling us more about what the city knew and when it knew it than the mayor’s offices have told us for the past 45 years,” said 9/11 victims’ attorney Andrew Carboy.

The memo release is part of a larger effort to make public records related to the Sept. 11. attacks.

The city previously moved to dismiss attempts to disclose its own toxin records, at one point claiming it had no documents – and only reversed course last year after a Department of Investigation probe spearheaded by Brewer found 68 boxes of 9/11 health-related documents, according to lawyers for some of the victims.

The council members and victims’ lawyers are now calling on Mayor Zohran Mamdani to fund a $3 million project to probe and release the records.

“It’s time for the mayor to step up and do what he needs to do to get the right and the information out to people who really need it,” said Thomas Hart, who sits on the board of 9/11 Health Watch.

Menin and Brewer said newly-minted mayor’s office attorney Steve Banks “favorably indicated to both of us that he was committed to do that” at his confirmation hearing Wednesday.

Ex-Mayor Eric Adams once refused to release a stash of documents showing the alleged cover-up — unless the city was granted immunity from lawsuits.

“There’s much more that we need to know, and as we are seeing from this memo, as more documents from the 68 boxes will come out,” added Rep. Dan Goldman on the steps of City Hall.

“The idea that monetary and financial concerns would dictate the actions of the city of New York for 25 years is repulsive.”

EEOC Seeks To Investigate Nike For Alleged Bias Against White Employees

by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is seeking a court order for investigating systemic race discrimination allegations against white workers by footwear and apparel corporation Nike Inc., according to a Feb. 4 statement from the agency.

The EEOC filed an action in federal court to compel Nike, headquartered in Oregon, to produce information related to allegations that the company discriminated against white workers as part of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

According to the filing made by EEOC in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, the agency is looking to enforce an administrative subpoena against Nike for failing to submit the required information, which was initially requested in 2024 by then-commissioner, and now chair, Andrea Lucas.

Lucas alleged that Nike, since at least 2020, engaged in “a pattern or practice of disparate treatment against white employees, applicants and training program participants in hiring, promotion, demotion, or separation decisions, including selection for layoffs; internship programs; and mentoring, leadership development and other career development programs.”

EEOC is the sole federal agency that investigates and litigates against companies for violating federal law prohibiting employment discrimination.

In an emailed statement to The Epoch Times, a Nike spokesperson said that this was a “surprising and unusual escalation,” adding that the company had already shared thousands of pages of information with the EEOC, and written detailed responses to inquiries, and is in the process of providing additional information.

“We are committed to fair and lawful employment practices and follow all applicable laws, including those that prohibit discrimination,” the spokesperson said.

Diversity and Inclusion at Nike

According to the diversity, equity, and inclusion page on Nike’s website, the company drives “equitable experiences for all teammates across the employee lifecycle.”

In its fiscal year 2024 “Representation by the Numbers” document published online, Nike said women made up 50.3 percent of the global corporate workforce. As for racial representation, white employees made up 57 percent, with black employees making up 9 percent, Asian 18 percent, and Hispanic 8.8 percent.

Based on Bloomberg data, from 2020 to 2021, Nike showcased the largest amount of change against hiring white workers among large U.S. companies. While the numbers of black, Hispanic, and Asian people went up across the board, Nike let go of white workers, said the analysis.

Kismet Mills is currently Nike’s chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer. She assumed the post in 2024.

EEOC will take necessary steps to counter corporate DEI programs that seek to discriminate based on race, Lucas said.

“Title VII’s prohibition of race-based employment discrimination is colorblind and requires the EEOC to protect employees of all races from unlawful employment practices. Thanks to President Trump’s commitment to enforcing our nation’s civil rights laws, the EEOC has renewed its focus on evenhanded enforcement of Title VII,” said Lucas, who was hired by President Donald Trump to head the EEOC in November.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, and sex.

The Trump administration has shown a steadfast opposition to DEI policies, with the president issuing executive orders against the implementation of such policies during his initial days in office.

DEI policies violate civil-rights laws, while undermining national unity, as “they deny, discredit, and undermine the traditional American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement in favor of an unlawful, corrosive, and pernicious identity-based spoils system,” said Trump’s Jan. 31 executive order.

In 2024, nonprofit law firm America First Legal filed a federal civil rights complaint with EEOC against Nike alleging racial and sex discrimination in violation of Title VII.

The firm said in a statement at the time that Nike appeared to be using numerical quotas for hiring, training, and promotion. The company aims to have 50 percent of women in the global corporate workforce and 45 percent in leadership positions by 2025, said America First Legal.

Epstein Death Gets Weirder: DOJ Finally Admits To 'Orange-Colored Shape' Moving Up Staircase

The death of Jeffrey Epstein has always been extremely suspect, if only for the sheer number of odd coincidences that occurred the night of August 9th, 2019.

There are three theories: One, he actually killed himself. Two, the DOJ - headed up by Bill Barr whose pedocentric-author father hired Epstein to teach at Dalton in the 70s - had him murdered while in custody. Three, Epstein was smuggled out of jail and replaced by a mask-wearing homeless dude, with skeptics pointing to different nose and ear shapes on the body vs. photos of Epstein when he was alive.

Now - despite former FBI director Dan Bongino insisting "There's video clear as day, he's the only person in there and the only person coming out. You can see it," the DOJ just released new documents revealing that surveillance footage from the night of Epstein's death captured an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at around 10:39 p.m. the night he died, or whatever.

The orange flash was initially reported last August, so this is the 'official' accounting for that.

That entry in an observation log of the video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities: "A flash of orange looks to be going up the L Tier stairs — could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that Tier."
It also appears, according to an FBI memorandum, that reviews by investigators led to disparate conclusions by the FBI and those examining the same video from the Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General. -CBS News

The orange flash is described as "possibly an inmate."

The observation was logged by the inspector general as an officer carrying orange "linen or bedding," noting it in their final report as "an unidentified [corrections officer]," despite the fact that the officers on duty said they didn't replace any linens, as that was done during the previous shift.

"At approximately 10:39 p.m., an unidentified CO appeared to walk up the L Tier stairway, and then reappeared within view of the camera at 10:41 p.m." reads the entry.

Officially, Epstein died by suicide sometime before 6:30 a.m., however nobody has been able to find the actual noose allegedly used.

Investigators asked what happened to the noose.
"I don't recall taking the noose off. I really don't," he replied. "I don't recall taking the thing from around his neck."
Noel, who remained standing at the cell entrance, told investigators she saw Thomas lower Epstein to the floor but did not see a noose around his neck.
The noose Epstein allegedly used has never been definitively identified. According to the inspector general's report, a noose collected at the scene was later determined not to be the ligature used in Epstein's death.

This was one of the photos taken at the scene. Cute.

Other oddities include;

No Cellmate Assigned: Despite a July 30, 2019, directive from the Psychology Department requiring Epstein to have an "appropriate cellmate" due to suicide risk (emailed to over 70 staff), his cellmate was transferred on August 9 without a replacement. Multiple staff, including the warden and lieutenants, were aware but took no action, violating BOP policy and SHU post orders.

His former cellmate - Nicholas Tartaglione, who Epstein told his lawyers had "roughed him up," begged a New York judge to move him to another prison after he said guards began threatening him after Epstein's death. He also claimed that James Comey's prosecutor daughter offered Epstein a deal to frame Donald Trump.

Tartaglione was convicted of killing a man he suspected of stealing some $250,000 in drug money, as well as his nephews and a family friend who “were in the wrong place at the wrong time,” prosecutors said, according to the New York Post.

During the month that Epstein was incarcerated before his apparent suicide, Tartaglione claimed in a pardon application that his cellmate had the opportunity to save his skin by throwing the sitting president under the bus.

“Prosecutors … told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Esptein’s crimes he would walk free. in a petition to be pardoned,” according to the Post, which said it had obtained a copy of the filing.

“Epstein told me that Maurene Comey said that he didn’t have to prove anything, as long as President Trump’s people could not disprove it,” the pardon application added.

“According to Maurene Comey, the FBI were ‘her people, not his [President Trump’s].’”

Unmonitored and Unrecorded Phone Call: On August 9 (around 7 p.m.), Epstein was allowed a 20-minute call from the SHU shower area using a non-inmate system phone, authorized by the unit manager. He claimed it was to his mother (deceased since 2004), but it was actually to a personal associate discussing press, his case, and affection. The call violated BOP policy requiring monitoring, recording, and logging; the manager left midway and instructed no oversight.

Falsified Records of Inmate Counts and Rounds: SHU staff (including officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas) falsified over 75 entries on count slips and round sheets. No inmate counts occurred after 4 p.m. on August 9, and no 30-minute rounds after approximately 10:40 p.m. Records were pre-filled or signed without performing duties, with "ghost counting" (using outdated cheat sheets) leading to errors like including transferred inmates.

No Monitoring or Tier Entries Overnight: Epstein was alone and unmonitored from ~10:40 p.m. on August 9 until discovered at ~6:30 a.m. on August 10. Staff remained at the officers' station, with no entries to his tier (confirmed by available video). A specific sign mandating 30-minute rounds for Epstein was ignored.

Excess Linens and Safety Hazards in Cell: Epstein's cell contained excess blankets, linens, and clothing (beyond limits of two sheets and one blanket), some ripped into nooses or clotheslines. No cell search was documented on August 9 (shower day, when searches are required), and only one SHU search was logged that day (not his cell). Mattresses and blankets were on the floor, violating housekeeping and security policies. And again, they never found the actual noose allegedly used.

Security Camera Malfunction: One of the SHU's DVR systems failed on July 29 due to disk issues, stopping recordings (though live feeds continued). It was reported on August 8 but not repaired until after Epstein's death, attributed to staffing shortages. Available footage showed no unauthorized entries, but the failure limited full review.

Staff Fatigue and Dozing on Duty: Officers worked excessive overtime (e.g., Thomas on a 22-24 hour shift, his third consecutive). Video showed staff idle or appearing asleep between 1-3 a.m. on August 10. Supervisors violated union agreements by assigning extended shifts, contributing to skipped duties.

Ambiguous Prior Incident (July 23): Epstein was found on the floor with an orange cloth around his neck tied to a bunkbed ladder. It was unclear if it was a suicide attempt or assault by his then-cellmate; investigations were inconclusive, with conflicting statements (Epstein initially claimed assault, later denied memory). He was placed on suicide watch but removed after 31 hours.

So yes, Epstein 'died by apparent suicide' inndeed.

Activist judges and systemic leniency shield massive fraud in America

by Monty Donohew

America’s criminal justice system is facing a profound crisis of credibility, exemplified most recently by two alarming developments in Minnesota: the termination of an FBI security specialist after undercover footage exposed deep skepticism about holding fraudsters accountable in multibillion-dollar taxpayer scams, and a Democrat-appointed judge’s shocking decision to overturn a jury’s unanimous guilty verdict in a $7.2 million Medicaid fraud case. These incidents, rooted in corruption scandals, reveal a disturbing trend of left-leaning judicial activism that prioritizes ideological agendas, often tied to DEI initiatives, open borders, and protecting certain demographic groups, over equal application of the law. At a time when hardworking Americans demand accountability for stolen public funds, these events underscore how progressive judges are eroding the rule of law, shielding corruption, and treating citizen juries with contempt. Activist judges flood our streets with criminals threatening personal safety, while dismantling the social safety net that protects the vulnerable by winking at crippling corruption.

The Fraud Epidemic

Minnesota has become a hotspot for some of the largest fraud schemes in U.S. history, including the federal Feeding Our Future scandal, in which over $250 million in COVID-era child nutrition funds were allegedly siphoned through fake meal sites and shell companies, only to be disbursed for lavish personal spending on luxury cars and properties. Dozens have been convicted federally, with sentences reaching up to 28 years, yet the scale of the fraud, much of it tied to community-based organizations serving migrant populations, highlights vulnerabilities exploited by proponents of big-government programs.

Similar state-level cases across the nation (namely California and Ohio), and nation-wide Medicaid fraud, have seen even less success. In an undercover video from journalist James O’Keefe, an FBI official bluntly admitted that prosecutions drag on indefinitely with little chance of prison time for perpetrators, a candid assessment that cost him his job but rang true to many observers frustrated with a system that seems rigged against accountability.

This pessimism was affirmed in November 2025 when Hennepin County Judge Sarah West, appointed by a Democrat governor, threw out a jury’s guilty verdict against Abdifatah Yusuf in a clear-cut $7.2 million fraud scheme. Evidence was overwhelming: a phony office address nicknamed “the $7.2 million mailbox,” massive cash withdrawals, and luxury spending sprees. Jurors called the case “obvious,” yet West deemed Yusuf a mere “absentee owner,” possibly unaware of the fraud, and acquitted him despite circumstantial evidence that would likely have convicted him in less politically charged cases.

Critics, from Republican legislators to everyday Americans on platforms like X, rightly labeled this as judicial overreach, part of a pattern where judges appear to bend over backward to protect politically aligned defendants from certain communities. Elon Musk summed it up succinctly: “Corruption.” While defenders claim no direct bias, the ruling fits a broader narrative of leniency in Minnesota courts handling immigrant-related fraud, raising legitimate questions about whether cultural or political sensitivities are influencing outcomes at the expense of justice.

Activist Judges: The Real Threat to Jury Democracy and Public Trust

Post-verdict acquittals are meant as rare safeguards to civil rights, but in practice, they have become tools for progressive judges to impose personal ideologies. Many such judges openly embrace roles in advancing DEI, resisting immigration enforcement, or opposing conservative policies, and brazenly, if irresponsibly, make public statements that undermine impartiality. When they override juries, ordinary citizens who see through flimsy defenses, they act less like neutral arbiters and more like oligarchs, arbitrarily shielding favored groups while sacrificing the interests of law-abiding Americans.

This is particularly dangerous in corruption cases: Instead of rooting out fraud that preys on public programs, these rulings protect networks that exploit lax oversight, often in communities shielded by identity politics. The result? Stolen funds meant for needy children enrich fraudsters, fueling cynicism that the system protects elites, insiders, and protected classes while ordinary taxpayers foot the bill.

Of course, prosecutions must meet high standards; innocence until proven guilty is a cornerstone of American justice, and pre-trial protections exist to weed out weak cases. But when judges bypass these and usurp juries post-verdict, they cross into activism, eroding the democratic voice of the people in favor of elite fiat.

Restoring Law and Order: Conservative Solutions for a Broken System

To reclaim credibility, bold reforms are needed:

Expand the Federal System: Congress should add conservative-leaning judges to clear backlogs and speed up complex fraud cases, ensuring swift justice without the delays that let criminals walk free. Similarly, Congress should expand the investigative and evidence-gathering authority of the executive branch, through Inspector Generals, agency administrators, and perhaps a permanent Department of Government Efficiency, freeing the DOJ to pursue prosecutions.

State-Level Accountability: Shift to elected judges and robust retention votes, as in many red states, to make jurists answerable to voters rather than political appointees. Strengthen impeachment and removal processes for clear overreach.

End Judicial Activism: Require transparency on judges’ public ideological and political memberships and associations and enforce stricter impartiality rules to prevent ideologically driven rulings from subverting the law.

The Minnesota scandals are a wake-up call: A justice system captured by progressive or conservative activism cannot deliver equal justice. Hardworking Americans deserve courts that punish fraud decisively, respect jury verdicts, and serve the public first, rather than courts that excuse corruption and criminality under the guise of compassion or equity. Without these changes, public trust will continue to plummet, and the rule of law will remain under siege.

MS-13 and army of bums take over Maryland condos; officials target the owners for eviction -report

by Monica Showalter

lue-county officials have quite the circular logic when it comes to gangs of illegals and armies of bums taking over private properties.

Instead of scooping up the gangs and forcing the bums into rehab, they've decided it would be better to evict the innocent victims of these criminals' activities in Prince George's County in Maryland. Yes, this really happened.

The Washington Free Beacon found a doozy of an example:

HYATTSVILLE, Md.—The sign outside the Marylander Condominiums, a 200-unit complex in Prince George’s County, Md., describes it as a "private community."
But for members of a homeless encampment in the condo’s backyard, the complex also serves as a crackhouse, a bathroom, and the entrance to an open-air drug market, which has become a magnet for organized crime and caused millions in property damage.
Transients break into buildings and smoke crack in the stairwells. Tenants traversing the property must navigate needles, feces, and sleeping bodies as addicts nap half-naked in the hallways and sprawl themselves like welcome mats outside residents’ doors.
Half of the complex has gone without heat since Thanksgiving after vagrants allegedly vandalized the boiler room, causing pipes to burst in several buildings. Some units have lost electricity, too, due to the overuse of space heaters. Though the county instructed those without heat to "vacate immediately" in December, most have defied the order and tried to weather the cold. They say they have nowhere else to go.

Instead of getting rid of that problem, the county has a no-arrest policy for the bums, under the Soroesque rubric of 'refusing to criminalize the unhoused.'

As for the MS-13 gang which has also taken over the condos, all in service to the bums who are drug addicts, the sanctuary county status of the area is sufficient to ensure no action on their private property takeover, either. The city even feeds the bums at night with taxpayer-paid meal delivery.

But for the residents of the complex -- condo owners no less -- who are suffering from broken locks, gang vandalism, feces in the halls, half naked bums sleeping it off in doorways, and stolen electrical components, which has taken out the electricity in numerous units, the county bureaucrats just have the stick. They're threatening to evict the condo owners on the grounds of having places that are 'uninhabitable' based on the behavior of the bums.

That's blue-city politics, hostile to the max to the concept of private property and utterly unwilling to enforce the law. As a result, the condo owners face the possibility of homelessness themselves, which should be great for crony corrupt contractors to take over once the owners are thrown out.

If anything explains the end game of the vast homeless industrial complex, which has taken over so many blue cities, it's probably this -- grow the bum population, keep the gang leaders who supply them with drugs safe from fear from deportation, let the bums destroy the nearby private property, and then taking the property after the eviction, either to sell it at a profit or let the bums have it.

The Beacon notes that Prince George's County has the highest registration of Democrats anywhere in the country, at 86%.

It's going to be a long time for this nightmare gets fixed.

Canadian study advances pot's connection to mental illness

Long-time readers know that I absolutely loathe marijuana because I’ve seen the lives that it destroys. In the best cases, sustained pot use leads to apathy. Sure, stoners aren’t out there committing crimes, but they’re not doing anything else either. They’ve rendered themselves useless.

In the worst cases, in people who are somehow vulnerable, pot is a gateway drug, not just to harder drugs (what anti-drug campaigns warned about in the 1960s), but to psychosis, something that Alex Berenson has documented in Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence.

Loathsome as cigarettes may be, they impair neither ambition nor mental health. But the left hates cigarettes and loves pot.

Now, Canada has done a vast study that Alex Berenson was right about that mental illness connection. It turns out that young Canadians are becoming increasingly psychotic:

Out of the 12.23 million people, 152,587, or 0.9 percent, were diagnosed with a psychotic disorder, the study said. The annual incidence of psychotic disorders was found to have increased by 60 percent among people aged 14 to 20 years between 1997 and 2023. Meanwhile, it was stable or even declined among those aged 21 to 50 years.
The incidence of schizophrenia was found to be 70 percent higher among individuals born in 2000-2004 compared to those born during 1975-79.
The percentage of people diagnosed with a psychotic disorder at 20 years of age was 104 percent higher among those born in 2000-2004, according to the study.

Among the 1975–1979 birth cohort, the mean age of diagnosis of psychotic disorders was 25.4 years, which declined to 23.2 years in the 1990-1994 cohort.

At the same time, they’re also getting stoned...a lot:

“Rates of substance use—including cannabis, stimulants, hallucinogens, and synthetic drugs—have increased over time in Canada; use of these substances is associated with the development and worsening of psychotic disorders,” the study noted.

The same Epoch Times article says that the study, which is from the Canadian Medical Association Journal, proposes all sorts of politically correct (my word, not theirs) theories about the rise of psychosis in Canada’s young people. These include “the expansion of early psychosis intervention programs, socioeconomic stress, adverse childhood experiences, changes in maternal and neonatal health, and changing environmental exposure, such as urbanization.”

However, one of the study’s authors acknowledged that rising substance abuse could be tied to the rise in serious mental health issues:

“A leading possibility is substance use—including cannabis, stimulants, hallucinogens, and synthetic drugs. The use of substances, especially earlier in life, is associated with the development and worsening of psychotic disorders, and substance use in Canada has risen over the past two decades.”

The Epoch Times adds something very interesting near the end of the essay, which could go a long way to explaining the problem: Pot is stronger today than it used to be...way stronger: “During the 1980s, typical THC levels in cannabis flowers were around 4 percent, which has currently shot up to 20 percent on average.” Meanwhile, vaping delivers even more concentrated THC into the system.

In the old days, pot gave you a comfortable buzz and a sense of relaxation. It’s why people as diverse as Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby (when he was young) were able to use it daily without destroying either their ambition or their abilities. Today’s pot, though, is a serious psychotropic drug.

When I grew up (my teen years were squarely in the 1970s), the anti-drug horror stories were about the lasting damage from LSD use. One trip could cause you to go blind or leap from a window. (I know someone who leaped from a window, with devastating consequences, while on mushrooms.)

Pot was frowned upon but viewed merely as a soft warm-up to hard drugs. Today, though, it’s pot that’s the hard drug.

Given how dangerous pot has become, how in the world have we ended up with the situation today, where pot has been decriminalized in 24 states? Although it’s still a federal crime to use it, that law is completely ignored, especially since Biden pardoned thousands of people with pot convictions.

The answer, of course, is leftism. The left went after cigarettes, which smell disgusting and cause serious physical health problems, but were a mild stimulant that did nothing to slow down energy and ambition. I hate cigarettes, so I’d be a hypocrite to complain about the war against them.

However, the problem is that, having done away with cigarettes, leftists led America to pot, which, like cigarettes, smells disgusting and causes serious mental and physical health problems. However, unlike cigarettes, it’s a sedative. Pot is the modern opiate of the masses, and it’s a terrible and dangerous thing.

Our country is already pretty darn crazy thanks to leftism, with young people being indoctrinated into gender confusion, the end of borders, sympathy for criminals, not victims, and antisemitism. They really don’t need to have a psychosis-causing drug added to the mix.
