Fentanyl is the synthetic opioid driving America’s public health crisis. Its cheap price, widespread use, addictive quality and deadly effect make it more dangerous than other narcotics classified by the DEA.
It is, ultimately, a chemical. And it’s being used as a weapon in China’s 21st Century Opium War against America.

Could start with a death penalty for anyone caught bringing Fentanyl into the United States.
How is China forcing doctors to prescribe it? That’s what brought it to the country, we ASKED for it.
“Could start with a death penalty for anyone caught bringing Fentanyl into the United States.”
That’d work. I’d suggest the death penalty for anyone caught dealing it on the streets too ... this garbage is cancer.
I suspect a lot of people are bought off to ignore when this trash enters our country though.
Is the death penalty ever used these days? Is it even legal?
There is nothing in the article to backup the author’s premise.
Fentanyl is being cut into illegal street products, particular heroin. The narrative goes - that Americans hooked on prescription opioids like oxycotin, etc... begin looking for stronger, cheaper, more easily available forms of opioids on the street, and wind up with mixtures of fentanyl, or the even stronger confentanyl, and easily overdose.
China once had the most drug users in the world by far.
Know how they kicked the habit..?
They forgave ALL drug users as having been victimized by drug importers.
And then they KILLED everyone who didn’t quit.
And that’s what we should do, too, starting with all the dealers.
If you work the opioid prescription chain long enough you wind up on fentanyl. It is a prescribed drug. Meanwhile like all prescribed drugs that bubble the brain it’s also available outside the pharmacist. But it came into the country first because doctors were prescribing it. And it was developed because doctors keep begging for stronger and stronger opioids for their patients that have been on the opioid chain for a long time. It always starts at the prescription pad, everything else is just side effects.
It’s how Britain brought China to its knees. There needs to be repentance and revival if there is to be hope for America.
There are more and more reports of Chinese illegals getting caught at the border near San Diego. Obviously there is a Chinese smuggling network bringing people, fetanyl, and God knows what else into our country through Mexico. A couple of months ago a Chinese man in his 50’s was found murdered in Rosartio, about 25 miles south of the border. What the hell is going on? Are there ships illegals and drugs coming by sea?
Good point. How is it any different than distributing deadly poison and encouraging people to ingest it?
“Unrestricted warfare.” I still remember Tom Moorer, after I gave him a copy I downloaded, growling: “It’s not like they didn’t tell us what the intend to do.”
That was essentially my first thought/question on this as well.
However, it looks like this is refering to what is sold on the streets.
Another article, linked from this one, gives a little more insight:
Raids on marijuana grow houses often find Chinese ‘farmers’ inside
OCTOBER 17, 2017Recent police raids in Yuba, Yolo, Placer and Sacramento counties have resulted in multiple arrests of people with Chinese passports, some of them speaking no English and apparently providing little help to investigators.
One recent indictment obtained by McClatchy asserts that money from a southern China bank account was transferred to California to pay for down payments on homes that later became grow houses, suggesting that at least some in China are investing the illicit U.S. marijuana market.
...
Colorado is another state where police have arrested Chinese nationals in pot house busts, including in far-flung locations, such as Garfield County in Colorado’s northwest corner.
So apparently this Chinese made Fentanyl is being brought in by Chinese nationals / gangs and sold on the streets.
...yet another reason to build the border wall, secure the border, tighten up our immigration fiasco and actually enforce our nations immigration laws.
A lot is bought online from international sites, believe it or not. Shipped direct to the door.
>How is China forcing doctors to prescribe it? That’s what brought it to the country, we ASKED for it.
They’re shipping it Mexico, and Mexico is smuggling it into the US.
No telling WHAT it’s funding.
Actually according to addicts, they like it because of the chance of fatality ... an added thrill if you will.
Any prescription drug with mind altering effects will be on the street. Manufacturing starts to fill prescriptions. We made this problem. We continue to make this problem. We’ve been over prescribing opioids for 20 years, which means we keep begging pharmaceutical companies for new and exciting opioids then we have the audacity to pretend the problem is street while 1 third of the country is on PRESCRIBED opioids.
