EPO "Cocaine Communication Manager" - Part III - It's in His Eyes
In Part I we began talking about a problem more widespread than a single individual (Part II) and we can see how eager António Campinos is to cover up for this individual - to the point of paying him over 100,000 euros just to do nothing and in effect "go into hiding".
For over 5 years already readers and whistleblowers kept telling us that Campinos was likely a cocaine addict, not just habitual user. It was very prevalent a rumour inside the Office, even well before his best buddy got caught red-handed (or white-nosed) in an open market because he had become too confident and arrogant.
If Campinos was a man of honour or principles, he'd oust the person for it, not wait for two months and then pay him a lot of money to hide. Some readers of ours therefore believe that by hiding his friend Campinos actually hides something about himself.
"There are rumors (which seem to be true) that the president has a very deep issue with cocaine," one reader recently told us. "I myself filmed him few times while his eyes were quite weirdly open..."
That's not unexpected. As Wikipedia explains cocaine: "Short-term effects of the drug include euphoria, hyper-focus, sociability, cardiovascular hypertension, dilated pupils, hyperthermia, vertigo, tremors, restlessness."
It also says: "Non-physiological causes of mydriasis include disease, trauma, or the use of certain types of drugs. [...] Mydriasis is frequently induced by drugs [...] Drugs that can cause mydriasis include: Stimulants (typically monoaminergics) such as amphetamines, cocaine, MDMA, and mephedrone."
Short-term is what Wikipedia says. "Initial short-term," an associate of Techrights explained, as "the advantage wear off quickly as one abuses the drug over time soon it is just a disadvantage, with permanent damage it shaves off a little IQ each usage -- permanently".
EPO insiders have long shared videos and texts of Campinos doing and saying utterly stupid things. Unless he is a "drunkard" (like Benoît Battistelli), it could be the fault of something else.
For many years already it was the consensus inside the Office that the Office is run by drug addicts, not limited to Campinos (alleged to be part of this problem).
That would help explain quite a lot. They're drunk on power, they surround themselves with loyalists and bullies (it is their "survival tactic") and they mob/intimidate any morsel of what merely seems like a critic.
Workers are free to draw their own conclusions. We know for a fact that all the European media went out of its way to not even discuss drug abuse in EPO management (despite admitting to me, directly, that it was true, it accepted this to be true, and that it was very worrying). █
