Long term plan to destroy us. The question is, why are we not catching on? WTF is up with us?

I just checked the DEA yearly aggregate quota for Fentanyl and it is 1,185 kg. Or 1.1 metric tons.

What was that book, back in the 90s, about asymmetrical warfare, how China would fight the US unconventially?

It was cornered by Newsmax and WND.

This is what is going on.

How do you even make 25 tons of Fentanyl? It must not take much to make it.

A few thousand pounds of the powder and some crop dusters could wipe out whole cities.

I don’t believe it, (not that amount)

Street value of that would be around $450,000,000,000,000

(I have no idea what the cost to manufacture it would be, and I had to do an internet search to find the street value..)

Are they sure it was fentanyl and not formica or something???!?

"What do they do with it now?"

If it's in powder form, I'd put it in a big crop duster, fly over China, and Iran, and drop my load.

12.5mcg per hour is a starting dose, usually administered via transdermal patch outside of a hospital, IV otherwise. I was given a 5mg dose the last time I had surgery, administered by an anesthesiologist.

100mcg is on the high end, approaching what would be given to a cancer patient or someone who has been on opioids for many years and is tolerant. I’m not even on a dose that high, and I’ve been on it for more than ten years, but without a dosage change in the last seven.

This is a massive risk, however. We know that the hardware and technique needed to create artificial opiates hardly exists in Mexico. The expertise and knowledge are not there for such a huge scale. The DEA has known for years that it comes from China, but our government (nor any others, apparently) seek to punish China for polluting our streets and those of other nations with this poison.

The government of China has the ability to stop this. They deal harshly with things they do not approve off. They kill you. They do not, thus it is tacit approval of this. This fentanyl flood is a function of the Chinese government.

I do not read of a fentanyl problem within China. The government of China is waging a drug war against our nation. China is also waging economic war against us as they also build up their military to perhaps wage conventional war against us in the future.

So, the next question is by what factor was it cut. 100 to 1? 10,000 to 1?

Even if the latter, this is still a major bust, and Pres. Trump should make a big deal out of it, IMO.

Now, I realize that “no demand” would eliminate the problem to begin with, but, regardless, Pres. Trump should thank & praise the Mexican authorities who made the bust, and condemn the Chinese.

“If true, this should be considered an act of war.”

Agree entirely. China is not to be trusted, just as any other communist nation is not to be trusted.

Actually, 50 micrograms is a common dose. This is an enormous amount of fentanyl.
