Texas sheriff says fentanyl should be classified as weapon of mass destruction

Montgomery County Sheriff Rand Henderson says the illicit drug fentanyl that’s pouring into Texas through the southern border should be labeled as a "weapon of mass destruction."

He told Fox News, “fentanyl is poison that’s being introduced to our country. The illicit manufacturing of this stuff has just gotten crazy with the potency of it. The deception by the drug dealers to mix it in to the pressed pills trying to sell it as a legal drug that’s a prescription medication.

”It only takes 2 milligrams of this stuff to kill you and we’re finding twice, sometimes three times the amount of fentanyl in a pill that’s not supposed to contain any fentanyl,” he added.

“Believe it or not, drug dealers will lie to you. There is no quality control standard. It is truly a weapon of mass destruction that's killing our population.”

Mexican transnational criminal organizations continue to supply most of the fentanyl (as well as cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin) smuggled into the U.S., Texas law enforcement officials, the DEA, and other agencies say.

Fentanyl precursors are often first shipped from China to Mexican ports. Cartel workers make fake opioid pills or lace other narcotics with them and then transport them into the U.S. primarily through the southern border.

Popular pills now flooding the market are rainbow colored and look like candy. They are often stamped with an “M” and used to appeal to children, law enforcement officials warn.

Should have been a long time ago.

Both AMLO and Fox are/were stooges to the Cartels. Understandably so, unless they really go after them.

And the whole time, the Cartels are making billions and China is destroying the country with their drugs.

“It does not matter how it’s classified, as long as no one is capable of doing what it takes. Closing the borders for starters.’

Or putting users into a special “Rehabilitation site” (Prisons), not with hardened criminals. Lock the users up for 5 years. Make them garden to grow their own food, take job training classes, and provide them access to a chaplain.

Closing the border will not work if there is a demand.

Fenatanyl is human insecticide on a slow working progression.

That’s going too far. It’s not shot into someone against their will. Declaring it this or that isn’t going to solve the problem. Actions by American individuals and government are necessary to do the job.

But no doubt that Texas Sheriff is expressing a very serious problem.

Liberals state unequivocally that they intend to murder billions of humans in order to “save the environment”. This is part of it. Soros is a prime mover in the “legalizing drugs” initiative.

The ChiComs using history that Americans didn’t have a part in is just the sort of self serving deceit to expect from socialistic scum.

Legal shipments *wink* *wink* straight to those making the drugs.

Of course! The WEF types want a healthy (but not too healthy) population to be their serfs. The old ones are ‘useful’ only as long as they can PAY for their Healthcare. After that, ‘MAID’ (Medical Assistance in Dying) as it’s called in Canaduh.

There is also talk in Canaduh and Europe of ‘net-zero carbon healthcare’. How well will ‘net-zero carbon Healthcare work for a hospital in say, Edmonton, or Winnipeg? Hospitals relying on wind or solar power to generate heat and electricity, are NOT places for ill people to survive.

Why is Bill-zebub Gates the largest land owner in the US focusing on rural agricultural land, which he takes out of production?

This is all about control and massive population reduction by any and all means.

All drug traffickers and dealers should be executed. But we must realize that taking drugs other than those prescribed for us may result in a bad outcome. To do so is a choice. If we choose badly bad things may happen.

If the guy thought he was taking a Percocet or an Oxycodone, or that he was eating Skittles candy, THEN IT WAS NOT A DRUG OVERDOSE! It is then a case of INTENTIONAL POISONING! 300+ are poisoned every day, while Benedict Biden cruelly replaces the dead Americans with ILLEGAL ALIENS!!
