The conversation started with a question about the Ruan/Khan Supreme Court decision, and how it can be used to get physicians released from prison. He was surprised that Drs. Ruan and Kahn are still incarcerated. I tried to explain to him that the judicial process is long and complicated, and that no one will be released quickly, and instead, the DOJ will probably come up with ways to maintain their incarceration for quite some time.
I then started to explain to him how to actually get the prison doors to swing open—through the repeal of the Controlled Substance Act. I explained the history of the act and the attacks on drugs, going back to 1904. But his ears were plugged, just like everyone reading this post.
He then stated that a lawyer told him that, because he took a plea, that the Ruan decision will not do him any good, and that he can’t get a new trial. I’m not a lawyer, but I think that with new evidence or new judicial decisions, there is a way to reopen the case, but that is still not, in my opinion, the way to go, as it will take years, and a lot of money.
Again, I told him that, and again I told him the easy and most direct way for him to get released from prison is through the repeal of the Controlled Substance Act. Again, his ears were plugged.
He started talking about the discrimination between the attacks on doctors, where they all get incarcerated, and the escape from incarceration by the Sacklers (owners of Purdue Pharma) and the Mallinckrodt owners, and how we need to go to the legislature and point this discrimination out to them. I asked him what good that would do? I also asked him, since this comment was right after my explanation of drugs not being the cause of addiction, was he still blaming the drugs?
He started talking about the opioid crisis. I explained to him that there was no opioid crisis, that it was purely propaganda put into people’s heads by the government for the purposes of attacking doctors for money. I explained—AGAIN—the history and how propaganda works, and the time it will take to get it reversed, as evidenced by the Nazi propaganda and the propaganda against marijuana.
His final comment was that the Controlled Substance Act cannot be repealed. At that point, our conversation was over. He obviously didn’t hear anything I said. I suggested that he go to the library and study everything he could about the science of homeopathy, because it explains the cause of addiction. Drugs are not the cause. I’ve known the cause of addiction for 20 years. I’ve helped people cure their addictions. The Controlled Substance Act was a government agenda against minorities, pure and simple.
I’ve offered the pathway to freedom to doctors and pain patients now for 6 years, and still people don’t want to learn it. I’ve offered my ecourse to everyone, and no one is interested. Are we at the end of God’s judgement for this country leaving Him? Is this simply a method of punishment? Possibly. And so I must wait. When God is ready to have people listen, they will. Until then, I’m just spinning my wheels. But I can’t tell you how frustrating it is.
Linda Cheek is a teacher and disenfranchised medical doctor, turned activist, author, and speaker. A victim of prosecutorial misconduct and outright law-breaking of the government agencies DEA, DHHS, and DOJ, she hopes to be a part of exonerating all doctors illegally attacked through the Controlled Substance Act. She holds the key to success, as she can offset the government propaganda that drugs cause addiction with the truth: The REAL Cause of Drug Abuse.

Thank you, Dr. Linda,
I am still trying to withdraw my plea. My request for a certificate of appealability was denied on Aug 11, 2022. My attorny now is Ronald W. Chapman II, Esq.
My Story will shock you. Here’s what I’ve been through:
In 2019, my attorney Deriso charged me 120,000 for trial. After he got paid, he forced me to plea guilty.
1] he refused to hire an expert.
2] he did not review any of the 25 counts.
3] 17 counts were from undercover sources who lied to me in order to get Suboxone. All 17 cases were taped.
4] In Count 9 I did not give the undercover the Suboxone. The following is the translation of the tape they gave me:
” She asked me to give her adderall (controlled drug) to lose weight l said no. I used clonidine, fruits, vegetables, and exercise for that.
I did ask her to cut down on zubsolv to 12 for 2 weeks she said she wanted to stay on 13. After the physical exam was done I found out that she took from her dentist 20 oxycontin 10/325 to take 4 per day. I did not give her the 13 Zubsolv but I forgot to delete it from the chart. She came back asking why the pharmacist didn’t give Zubsolv.
The amount of Suboxone given to the patient has been increased after my arrest.
In 2020, my attorney Russo charged me 50,000 to withdraw the plea, but when he got paid, he refused to do so.
In 2021, my attorny Astin charged me 30,000 for a 2255, but then did not help me.
Ron Chapman said he can help me to withdraw my plea.
Sorry, Dr. Jabbour, but your story doesn’t shock me a bit. It is standard. Everyone who gets attacked can’t believe the illegal activity the government is capable of, and say basically that their case is the absolute worst possible. But they are all alike. In my case, the government not only got witnesses to lie, but when it was recorded on one of their CS visits that we would prescribe some hydrocodone but then it didn’t get prescribed because his urine was dirty, the government agents were tired of sending in more CS’s (I hadn’t accepted one of the 6 I found out about), and they called in the hydrocodone in my name, and that became one of the charges I was found guilty of.
The stealing of your money by worthless lawyers is also par for the course. If there is a pathetic, worthless profession, law is it. But since most of those in congress are lawyers, I don’t see that changing. I do hope, though, that you’ve found one who will do the job for you in Ron Chapman, II.
What is wrong with these people ???
I’m not a doctor, but I’ve read and fully understand what you are saying to them. If their lawyers are telling them that can’t be done then it’s time for a new lawyer.
Do you really understand? The judicial approach is the long, hard road that might lead nowhere. The road to freedom is to repeal the Controlled Substance Act. When that happens, the prison doors open and all the innocent walk free and clear.
also, i thought Ruan and Khan were released…
Nope. Has to go back through the ranks of Circuit-District, etc. And they need a lawyer to do that, which they probably don’t have money for. I know Dr. Couch has a public defender, but don’t know if he/she is any good.
Very good article. I’m going to send this to my dad who is a doctor in federal prison and is appealing his conviction.
