I remember that british colonial days they got the ‘oriental subjects of the crown’ addicted to heroine, both for profit as well as for control (probably mostly for profit).
You can look inward at our social and moral ills and not be remiss, for an external supply side explanation, I wonder if it wouldn’t be bad to question if a little east/west karma isn’t taking place.
True that.
So you mean muslims who are not really muslims and do not follow the koran or hadith.

“Muslims who reject the insane Jihadist cult”
Author knows too little about this subject to be writing articles on it.
The source of our “opoid epidemic” are doctors’ prescriptions. These create the addicts. The fentanyl smuggling supplies the addicts who can’t get enough from the system or who got cut off.
The increasingly Kafkaesque-nightmare nature of modern life provides many with enough incentive to choose to take that path.
Great article. Lots of truth in there. He covers all the (escape from life abuses) like drugs, alcohol but you could throw in sexual perversions as well. Children are at greater and greater risk from the perverts. And I agree the root cause is the departure from God and Biblical standards.
Then there’s the ever rising suicide rate which is the ultimate escape.
His Twilight Zone reference was perfect.
When I took Sociology 1000, homosexuality was deviant behavior. The only thing that has changed is the text books.
As I occasionally point out, ours is a society that has degenerated to the point that many people’s concept of freedom raises little higher than someone’s crotch. The same people who will lust for government to control every nuance of life also demand that sex, or anything that helps there be more sex without consequences (like abortion), is entirely off of the table.
At the start of the Republic most everything was generally lawful except for what was forbidden — like homosexual acts or adultery generally were — but now everything is unlawful unless it is explicitly allowed/regulated/licensed ... except for sex, a glaring exception.
Indeed, before the Left became so loose with the term it sometimes seemed that, at least in Leftist rhetoric of the 70s (can’t speak about the 60s, I was a bit too young then), “fascist” included anyone who dared suggest people be morally upright.
The lunatics are now running the asylum these days..
Values such as growing cannabis! Even the Declaration was drafted on it.
Tobacco is the real gateway drug, just try to criminalize it and watch the monkeys dance!
Rejecting God in our lives and embracing the idols of abortion and homosexuality, neglecting acts of charity, electing politicians who will steal from producers to buy votes from the lazy. (gov’t handouts are NOT charity, but theft at the point of a gun)
In short, the opiod epidemic is because it’s US govt policy. CIA makes money on it for black ops, and has been eyeballs deep in every dope wave since the French connection. Then politicians get money from the bankers who launder cartel cash. Last, the government loves a doped up population, and the chaos gives them a great excuse for grabbing more coercive power. Rx opiods result from politicians getting donations from big pharma. There are anecdotal stories like Mena, or like our soldiers ordered not to harm pot and poppy fields in Afghanistan.
Ergo, the addition wave is government policy.
It’s two things on pain killers
An aging population....a big part
Poorer whites have lost the dignity and slimness they once had and they don’t marry any more
Barely distinguishable today from poorly functioning minorities
Why do the govt and media hype pain pills....the money in it.
Hell pots almost legal
Gotta find something for folks to do and toys to buy
the author makes laughable leaps of logic.
Political Correctness is deadly.
