War Room’s Steve Bannon Discusses Combating Cartels with Paramilitary Ops (VIDEO)

War Room’s Steve Bannon discussed combating the cartels with potential paramilitary operations. President Trump had designated the cartels a terrorist organization for their drug smuggling and human trafficking operations.

Todd Bensman (the previous day) was telling Bannon that the cartels had the human smuggling part of their operation stopped since President Trump sealed the border. He explained that fentanyl and other drugs was mostly what they had left to profit off of.

“The only thing they have left now is fentanyl and drugs,” Bensman said.

“I think things are gonna go kinetic. I have a source that is a really good source. I’m not gonna obviously say who it is, are telling me that there is tabletop planning right now for the immediate future to using US intelligence and certain Mexican units to go kinetic on narcotics depots, on fentanyl labs and places like that,” Bensman said.

“These cartels are money hungry, they’re brazen, they are incredibly well armed, from making billions and billions of dollars on the human smuggling for four years. What do you think they did with that money? They invested it in arms,” Bensman continued.

“They are not just gonna sit back there and lose their drug business. Not without a fight. So, I anticipate some fireworks,” Bensman continued.

After that, footage from ABC News showed Border Czar Tom Homan warning the cartels that if they harm our Border Patrol or our soldiers that they will be dealt with severely.

“Let me give the cartels a warning: If you kill a border agent or a soldier, the whole world is gonna come down on you,” Homan said.

“fentanyl detection”

Fentanyl is so potent it can probably be sprayed on a blank sheet of paper and the paper soaked to extract the fentanyl.

The war on opiates has been lost.

Opiates need to be made available to addicts in highly diluted form - two-liter bottles.

A yellow color might indicate a non-lethal to normal person concentration and a deep red color a highly-lethal except to an addict concentration.

To buy from a vendor would require hospital testing and a prescription.

Letters of marque and reprisal. There are a lot of soldiers of fortune out there! Sort of a “Magnificent 700,000”.

“the cartels had the human smuggling part of their operation stopped since President Trump sealed the border. He explained that fentanyl and other drugs was mostly what they had left to profit off of.”

There are millions of human trafficking accounts receivable.

There are known smuggling routes.

Line the border with law enforcement, national guard, suppprted by manned & unmanned aerial surveillance.

Once labs or distribution locations, in Mexico, give the Mexicans 24hrs to destroy it If not, drone strikes

No US boots on the ground other than CIA types for targeting and BDA

The domestic law enforcement communities have been dealing with these parasites for years and are routinely prevented from doing what needs to be done. They deserve a chance at some retribution and it has many people qualified to do it.

Remember, the thing that matters most to cartels is money.

The goal should be to snatch their loot.

Thats not very practical. Methadone through a clinic is a better option. They open really early so people can take their daily dose and keep a job or get a job.

it’s safe to work while taking methadone as part of an addiction recovery program. In fact, it’s illegal to fire someone for taking methadone as prescribed.

Methadone is safe and doesn’t impair a person’s ability to work.

Federal and state laws protect the right to Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). This means that you can’t be fired or denied a job because you’re taking methadone.

Employers must accommodate employees who are taking methadone and consider how they can safely perform their job.

It’s not that potent but Carfentanil is.

Carfentanil is a synthetic opioid approximately 10,000 times more potent than morphine and 100 times
more potent than fentanyl. The presence of carfentanil in illicit U.S. drug markets is cause for concern, as
the relative strength of this drug could lead to an increase in overdoses and overdose-related deaths, even
among opioid-tolerant users.

The war on opiates has been lost.

More progress has been made in the past two weeks in the war on drugs than in the past 200 years.

Lots of people on this forum are not going to like it.
