Plan is to kill off white people. That’s why nothing was done.

I saw this on the news when I was in Orlando over Christmas. There was a congress critter hearing on CSPAN. They were roasting the acting head of an agency involved, a black woman totally in over her head

More than 880 people fatally overdosed in West Virginia in 2016.

More than two a day.

To get a feel for that area of the country, watch “The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia.”

I own that movie. It’s very telling about the US being a lot of different and diverse cultures. It’s like a third world country there.

Kinda remind me of all the Clintoon drug shipments into Mena, AR back in the day....
As then, so it is now: Follow the money trail and it will lead you to the evil.

It took them a whole decade to figure this out? Uh huh. The drug companies were getting their cut, too, with the sells.

A forensic audit of all senior West Virginia law enforcement officials would be most interesting...

definitely has that Mena/Clinton feel to it.

Thanks for the ping.

I grew up in WV. My parents still live in Huntington in the same house I grew up in.

The opiod crisis in WV is absolutely horrible. I saw it 1st hand when I was visiting last October. My parents tell me they see used needles in parking lots most every day. The economy in their area of WV has been on a steady decline since the 1970’s & the population has dropped from close to 100k folks to barely 40k just in Huntington alone.

What a nightmare!
