Nitazene is the New Fentanyl in China’s Silent War on America
	06/27/2024 9:01:34 AM PDT · by Red Badger · 16 replies Gateway Pundit ^ \| June 27, 2024 \| John Mills War and conflict can take many forms. It’s not necessarily dive bombers, torpedo bombers, and fighters pummeling Battleship Row in Pearl Harbor. That’s visual, tangible, and an undeniable manifestation of intent, but the struggle for dominance between nations can take many forms. The Wuhan virus was not the Pearl Harbor moment for America. The Pearl Harbor moment for America in China’s unrestricted warfare to erase the U.S. was one word: Fentanyl. In a war by any means, first articulated in the ‘90s, the CCP put their Prussian “General Staff” on a war footing, under the aegis of “Unrestricted Warfare”—U.S. Air...

This Is The Reason Why China Hasn't Cracked Down on Fentanyl Precursors

California Is Seizing More Fentanyl Than Ever. Why Isn’t it Affecting the Opioid Crisis?
	05/31/2024 6:26:30 PM PDT · by nickcarraway · 13 replies MSN ^ \| 5/31 \| Nollyanne Delacruz Gov. Gavin Newsom announced this week that 5.8 million fentanyl-laced pills have been confiscated throughout California since January by the state’s Counterdrug Task Force in collaboration with local and federal law enforcement agencies. As state officials celebrate consistently increasing confiscations of the synthetic opioid, though, experts say that the seizures will likely not affect the illicit drug market significantly. Over the last three years, the number of fentanyl-laced pills confiscated statewide has increased dramatically. In 2021, only 1.5 million pills were seized statewide. That number jumped almost sevenfold to 10.3 million pills seized in 2022, and then more than doubled...
