Synthetic opioids, including Illegally made fentanyl, have become the leading cause of drug overdose deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, accounting for “82.3% of opioid-involved overdose deaths.”
This counterfeit version of the synthetic opioid used to treat severe pain is known to be mixed with other illegal substances, like cocaine and heroin, “to increase its euphoric effects,” according to the CDC.
It’s normal to wonder where this drug comes from since it has affected many people and their loved ones.

Gee, if only we had secure borders.....
Go brandon
ReplyDeleteThe raw materials come from the CCP. The cartels and their CIA friends take care of the rest.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Anybody who read the headline and didn't immediately say CHINA lives under a rock. India and Mexico too, but that's because criminals thrive there. In China it's government sanctioned.
ReplyDeleteSo, when is our government going to declare fentanyl a WMD? How many years of how many hundreds of thousands of deaths will it take? Or will we wait until a few pretty blonde daughters of a couple extremely wealthy folks die, and then it's a sudden national emergency?
And if it does become a WMD, isn't that an act of war? Well, it would be if we didn't have a Peking Duck in the White House.
"Peeking Fuck." fifty.
DeleteO.G.
I wish someone would explain this to me. I can understand cartels bringing drugs in to make money, but why would they deliberately kill their customers? Perhaps something else is going on here? Is the purpose to kill Americans and has nothing to do with the 'drug trade' or the cartels?
ReplyDeleteThere's no shortage of dope fiends here in the US, believe me. They could kill a thousand a day and it wouldn't hurt their pocketbooks one bit.
DeleteThe ChiComs see this as profitable retribution. Undeserved (mostly) by the USA, but we are 'one' with the nations involved in poisoning China for profit in the past.
DeleteOh, that was only opium, though. And, given the time period, likely organic!
But definitely NOT free trade, nor beneficial to China.
QHM
People outside of China, especially most Westerners, just don't understand China.
DeleteSee here, China still believes it is the Middle Kingdom.
The Celestial Powers are above them. The Celestial Kingdom. Gods and shit.
Below the Middle Kingdom? There are kingdoms full of animal people. Got that? Half-Human at best and going down to Full-Animal.
Middle Kingdom doesn't care what the frack happens in the animal kingdoms. They are there to provide materials and slaves to the Middle Kingdomers.
Even now, in Red China, if you aren't of the Han race, you ain't shit. There are literally wars being fought over pure-blooded Han babes for pure-blooded Han-males to marry. Because, yes, any Han-mixed child is less than the lowest Middle Kingdom Han pureblood.
I am not making this shit up.
China doesn't give a fuck about anyone else except what they can get out of them.
So making a profit by selling the fentanyl and the precursor chemicals to cartels, that are often under indirect control of, survey says... Red China, is perfectly fine with The Middle Kingdom.
As to how high this goes in Red China? Who do you think owns the factories and chemical plants? Middle class people? Nope. High-ranking military personnel and high-ranking Communist China Party members.
So, yeah, this is war. Indirect war, but war.
With all of the articles and other info available online concerning the pipeline for fentanyl, how is it that the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard isn't setting up interdiction stops on the sea lanes approaching Mexico's west coast to shut down the precursor chemicals and finished fentanyl products being shipped in via that route?
ReplyDeleteI read a book more than two decades ago, can't remember the title or author, that told the fictional story of the U.S.A. invading Mexico over Mexico's continued support of the drug cartels. I think it's past time to put that plan into effect all the way to Mexico's southern border. Once the country is subdued and the drugs slow to a trickle, clear the jungle and install a ten mile wide mine field there. That'll stop the drugs and the illegal alien flow via supposed foot traffic from south of there.
Stop doing international trade with Mexico including ALL U.S. based manufacturers until the flow of drugs goes to zero.
BTW, all those people that are supposedly walking to the U.S. border from central and south America, aren't walking. They're being bused and flown in by religious NGO's. Something needs to be done about that too.
Meet every plane and ship that arrives in Mexico and deport anyone who is from a third world country outside of Mexico to rafts in the central Caribbean. Tell them to swim back to their native country from there.
All of the above sounds medieval. It is. Going medieval is the only way to put a stop to this shit. There's no excuse for drug trafficking to have continued for this long, at this level. FIFTY+ YEARS AGO, in 1971, Nixon declared war on drugs. The DEA was established in 1972. Since then untold billions have been poured into interdicting the flow. Drug traffic has only grown in the intervening years.
DEA and DOJ try to interdict the flow by arresting and incarcerating end users and street level dealers. Totally worthless strategy. Those people aren't the problem.
A smart man once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result”. What ever .gov has been doing obviously isn't working.
It's past time to change tactics.

Indeed. Rather than using the military to advance Islam and all the other foreign nonsense they should be back here and securing the borders. (if not advancing on DC....) We should seize the northern band of Mexican state, impose martial law, and kill anyone that wants to resist that. Mexico is not a friendly nation, they aid and abet crimmigration, and the smuggling of Chinese fentanyl, and we already host huge numbers of its citizens. Seize the northern states and deport all the illegals from inside the US into this region.
DeleteWell, that sounds good on paper but there's so damned many illegals here in the States that still swear allegiance to Mexico that if we invaded Mexico, our army will be completely surrounded and seriously outnumbered from Day 1.
DeleteAlso, some of those cartels are better armed than a lot of our NG units. Do a search on them sometime. We're not talking about some bullshit gang members here.
Every "war" our government declares - drugs, poverty, homelessness, etc, is a grift. An exchange of money. Remember, war is good business.
DeleteI think if the US actually wanted to do something of substance they would. As it is, a few busts here and there to justify the budget and the toys is what happens. Certainly some form of your suggestions could be implemented....if they wanted to. Wonder ya reckon why they don't?
DeleteThere clearly is a misunderstanding here. Joe is telling his illegals "bring Fentanyl to kill americans with, making room for yourself".
ReplyDeleteMaybe fentanyl is a self correcting problem without any intervention. Doses of a fraction of a milligram can be lethal. So, if the fentanyl junkies were left alone, they soon will disappear and the problem will solve itself.
ReplyDeleteWord. It is called culling. I saw it a lot as a Peace Officer in SoCal.
DeleteFirst, make certain the supply of narcan is cut off.
DeleteNarcan does have its legitimate uses. People on prescription drugs who suffer occasional kidney issues do need it. Or when some jackwagon in the hospital over-prescribes it.
DeleteBut for street junkies? Sure, I'll even allow one time of 'free' Narcan, comes with an immediate tattoo. See a junkie flatlining who has the tattoo? Nope, let them. They get one chance to fix their life, to come back from the brink of death, and then fuck them.
You see it on the various 'live' shows about EMS, or you used to. Quarter of the calls are for street overdoses, and often the EMS crew remembers 'rescueing' the junkie from just a few days to a few weeks before, sometimes more than 4 times a week. One guy OD'd once a day for over a week on one show I watched.
In the late 60's, you could buy pure heroin in Saigon for a buck a gram, straight from a Chinese pharmaceutical factory. More junkies lowered the fighting effectiveness of US forces, and to make it better, when an attack was planned, they cut off supply. Can't fight very well when you are "jonesing". I'm glad I'm not the only one who figured this out. Straight up chemical warfare.
ReplyDeleteDave
Perhaps there are rare exceptions, but I don't see anyone forcing anyone to take any illegal narcotic. Using illegal drugs is a personal choice. If there was no market for the product, it wouldn't be coming across the border. If those drugs are laced with a deadly substance, well, too bad. You rolled the cylinder containing the live round into firing position and pulled the trigger. I guess I'm just a cold-hearted SOB but I have no sympathy for anyone that overdoses or dies from illegal drugs.
ReplyDeleteAs a former paramedic, I seen more than I should have before I turned twenty. I agree with you entirely.
DeleteDunno why it isnt being talked about but Vancouver is a giant fentanyl and money laundering operation of the Triad and endorsed/planned by the CCP.
ReplyDeleteVirtually all Fentanyl sold on the street here is made in China, shipped to Mexico and smuggled across the border as part of the CCPs open war on America. Just because the aren't shooting at us doesn't mean they aren't waging war against us.
ReplyDeleteI figure if people want to abort their own babies, and OD on drugs-more power to them. Charles Darwin in action!:)
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask, why would you mix something extremely lethal in tiny doses with something like cocaine, that you want to keep on doing. Then I read the comments.
ReplyDeleteEveryone in the comments suggesting actions our government and military could take to end the problem are making assumptions based on normalcy bias: you assume it's the drug cartels, or China, or open borders, or dope fiends..... It is in reality none of the above. It is your own government that hates you and wants you and your family dead. Any vector is fine, illegal drugs, legal vaccines, food supply interruption ect ect. Get it? Good
