Exclusive — Peter Schweizer: Fentanyl a ‘Chinese Operation Much More than It Is a Mexican Drug Cartel Operation’
Breitbart ^ | 2 Mar 2024 | HANNAH BLEAU KNUDSEN

Fentanyl is a “Chinese operation much more than it is a Mexican drug cartel operation,” Peter Schweizer, author of Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans, said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.

Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) and senior contributor at Breitbart News, explained how the Chinese are using fentanyl as a weapon against the United States.

“A lot of the people involved in the fentanyl trade actually have senior positions in the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] or they’re advisers to the CCP government, but the links in this chain of fentanyl that is poisoning 100,000 Americans, every link in that chain is a Chinese operation,” Schweizer said, explaining that the Mexican cartels are “really the junior partners.”

“We all know the precursors come from China,” Schweizer said, explaining that we have been unable to stop the precursors because the International Terminal in Manzanillo in Mexico is “actually run by a Chinese company that’s very close to the Chinese state,” he said, explaining that those precursors “come into the port of Manzanillo” and are “moved to a town in northern Mexico where, according to leaked documents from the Department of Homeland Security that I obtained, 2,000 Chinese nationals essentially operate as chemists.”

In other words, these Chinese nationals are on our border doing it in our backyard. It does not end there, either, because the Chinese are selling pill presses to the Mexican cartels “at cost,” and the cartels are using communication devices and apps that are Chinese “because they know that the Chinese will not share those communications with U.S. law enforcement,” Schweizer said.

What are you doing???

You’re only allowed to complain about Mexico.

You may NOT mention China, where the crap is manufactured, or the chemicals to manufacture it come from.

That’s off limits.

The Opium War was a series of military engagements fought between the British Empire and the Qing dynasty of China between 1839 and 1842.0 The First Opium War was fought due to the British smuggling opium from their Indian colonies into Chinese ports against the wishes of the Chinese government to pay for the large amounts of Chinese tea they were importing.1 The Chinese government enforced their ban on the opium trade by seizing private opium stocks from merchants at Canton and threatening to impose the death penalty for future offenders.0 In May 1839, the Chinese forced the British Chief Superintendent of Trade in China, Charles Elliott, to hand over the stocks of opium at Canton for destruction, which caused outrage among the British and ignited the war. The resulting victory opened up the lucrative Chinese trade to British merchants.2

China is using its puppet Biden to destroy as much of America as it can before he is gone from office.
