There has been a deliberate attempt by the powers that be to not stop the problem. I have spoken with past DEA and Police force members ( as far back as 1997). They told me: 1. Clinton stopped ability to catch drug planes coming into America 2. Local police have no budget to catch local dealers. The were very distressed and felt they had no way to stop the OD epidemic. I have vetted every presidential candidate since and Trump is the only one who called it out. I immediately became a supporter. I think we can see now that drugs have financed Clinton, Obama and the Clinton Foundation. My hope is Trump nails them and the drug problem goes away with them behind bars. My prayers anyway.
If any drug has weaponized its Fentanyl. Opioid deaths in Canada have more than doubled in Canada since the start of 2015 (4000 across Canada), but Fentanyl as the cause of those deaths has increased from 30% to almost 75% in the same time period. If the rate of deaths on Ontario and Quebec rises to the level in British Columbia, the number of deaths in Canada will double.
In contrast, motor vehicle accident fatalities in Canada now run less than 2000 per year, and murders average around 600 (less than Chicago’s 2017 total of 650). For Canada, this is a real crisis.
Both Poppy and Bill were big into the CIA drug smuggling back in the day.
Lots still profiting from it now.
