China’s Alliance With Mexican Cartels Continues to Fuel Deadly Fentanyl Crisis in US: Former DEA Official

Distributing and trafficking fentanyl to the United States is the “perfect tool” in the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) campaign of “unrestricted warfare” against the West, according to a former division head of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
“They are not dropping bombs or putting armies on the ground in America, but they’re still killing Americans at record levels,” said Derek Maltz, former head of the Special Operations Division of the DEA, referring to the CCP’s plan to destabilize the country using unconventional forms of warfare.
“They’re taking advantage of massive, addicted population in America.”
Maltz’s warning comes as a new report found that China remains the primary source for the trafficking of illicit fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances in the United States, despite the Chinese regime banning the drug in 2019. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that’s 50 times more potent than heroin.
The Aug. 24 report (pdf) by the U.S.–China Economic and Security Review Commission also found that while direct shipments to the United States have declined since the ban, Mexico is playing an expanding role in the explosion of fentanyl addictions and deaths around the country.
Americans are being killed at record levels, the former DEA official said, and “it’s all because of massive chemical flow from China.”
In 2020, during the pandemic, deaths from overdoses of synthetic opioids, mostly from fentanyl, surged to a record of more than 56,000—an increase of 20,000 from the year earlier, according to provisional data by National Center for Health Statistics.
The country is facing the worst drug crisis in its history, the alliance between China and the cartels could be the top day-to-day threat impacting America’s future.”
According to the report, the Chinese regime’s “weak supervision and regulation” of its chemical industry has aided the efforts of Chinese fentanyl traffickers.

The Afghani’s are making meth after discovering there’s a naturally growing plant that produces ephedra.
So, now Chinas alliance with the Cartels and the Taliban are going to flood this country with even more meth, heroin and hash. Not to mention safe passage for terrorists on Chinese ships headed to Mexico, so said terrorists can then make their way north to cross, what used to be our southern border, and do terrorist sh*t here.

No one on tv wants to say directly the democrats are doing things for the drug cartels.
But they are getting closer to saying it.

The DEA is running a giant protection racket with the cartels and China.
The DEA has been working with Chinese narcotics police for over 30 years.
DEA is a rogue and treasonous agency. These agents need to be tried for treason in military court and executed.

I don’t understand why so many of our people take hard drugs. This country offers so much to enjoy. If there were no customers, the drug trade would die out.

Exactly.....Fentanyl is China’s payback for the Opium Wars without a doubt. Their population was so hooked on Opium nobody wanted to work.

That’s like asking why alcoholics keep drinking. The body needs more and more to get the same buzz until they can’t function without it.

With the open borders policy of the Biden administration, it encourages drug addiction in America. Too bad no one bothers to challenge Biden, Nancy, and Schmucky on the issue. We read about tons of meth occasionally caught at the border, but it’s never mentioned in Congress or I the MSM.

The dealers just give a “taste” to their victim, and they’re hooked.

Yep.
They’ve almost won and divided and subdued America.
They need to pay for attacking America and destroying her.

Why should the CHICOMS go into a hot war to kill 50,000 of America’s youth each year when they can “git it done” via a cold war, sneaky like?

“Do the overdosed junkies represent any real loss to society?”
Yes, huge loss. They are mostly the young and American is facing a demographic time bomb of an aging population just like many countries.
