America's fentanyl scourge UNCOVERED: Mailed from China, mixed in Mexico, the strongest opioid yet exploded in the pandemic and now kills a person every seven minutes ‐ but officials are powerless to stop it
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Drug overdoses now kill more Americans than guns and cars combined

  • Such deaths reached 107,000 in the year to January, 2⁄3 of them due to fentanyl

  • Fentanyl packs down small and is easy to mail or smuggle across borders

  • Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco Cartel bring it into the US

  • Many users have no clue they're taking fentanyl, which is often mixed

  • A fentanyl vaccine offers hope and could save thousands of lives each year

#6 The fentanyl scourge has the feel of an asymmetric warfare campaign conducted against us by China.
If their intent is destabilization, distraction, and using our own monies and vices to do so...then it is successful. Perhaps they are paying us back for the alleged heroin campaign conducted against them by the Agency over the past decades.

The constant levels of overdose deaths, violence, and corruption here in Tennessee were enough to give me PTSD last year...this is a clear and present danger and it on our southern border and fueled via an apparent proxy war by the PRC.

The citizens targeted cause tremendous turmoil via theft to supply their habit...and the addicts target you

And the funds produced via illicit sales fuel the corruption within our systems

Without any apparent consequence in return to the Cartels or PRC
