America’s Chinese Fentanyl Flood

In modern times, Saudis, Japanese, South Koreans, and Israelis—to name a few—have all managed to purchase influence. But the usual goal is to gain advantages for their own nations. What we are seeing now is something much more dangerous—using influence to corrode the United States from within.

In 2019, over 37,000 Americans died from fentanyl overdoses. That’s nearly five times the number of American troops killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2020, the U.S. government reported 93,000 American residents died from a drug overdose—the vast majority from fentanyl poisoning. The COVID-19 lockdowns have helped bump up the already horrific death totals.

Yet, even as the death toll mounts, U.S. businesses and financial titans never mention it. The think tanks are mostly silent. Academia? Can’t be bothered. The U.S. media often downplays or ignores the fentanyl bloodbath, and even more so the source, seemingly afraid to mention the C-word, China.

The fact the Chinese regime doesn’t ban fentanyl in its entirety—much less go after producers the way it goes after Uighurs, Christians and Falun Gong, or Hong Kongers—suggests the CCP is glad America is awash in fentanyl.

Then their beef would be with the British, not us.

FR’s own stupid libertarians tell us this is a good thing. Vending machine narcotics.

Hey folks,
China is our enemy.
They have unleashed the China virus upon the world which has killed millions and destroyed much of the worlds economy.
It is way past time for the world to fight back and hit China where it hurts.
Do NOT buy any damned thing made in China.
Let ALL the Chinese know they act as an enemy they will be treated as an enemy.
Hey CCP, F-you.
