The Drug Crisis: Main Page, Stories from the Frontlines
Never take what appears to be a legitimate drug from another person, only from a licensed pharmacy with a doctor's prescription for yourself. This has always been a live-saving principle.

STORIES FROM THE FRONTLINES:
THE BORDERS, DRUG CRISIS
PAGE SECTIONS:
Today, illegal, black-market sourced counterfeit prescription drugs, cocaine, meth, and marijuana are too often laced with a fatal deadly dose of fentanyl the size of a few grains of sand. There are also those addicted to pain medication, getting their drugs from illegal sources. This is now a tragic and growing epidemic leading to over 70,000 deaths per year in America.
Fentanyl, an extremely potent opioid, was a pharmaceutical drug created in the 1960s to curb chronic pain. It can be prescribed by a doctor and it is also a part of the illicit drug trade.
DEA Lab testing reveals that, of those counterfeit prescription pills that do contain fentanyl, 7 out of 10 pills contain a fatal deadly dose. This is either done intentionally by cartels or inadvertently and carelessly by using uncleaned equipment.

This Capital Research Center report–Infiltrated: The Ideological Capture of Homeless Advocacy–demonstrates how a growing number of organizations in the homelessness policy space are aligned with radical—even extremist— worldviews, ranging from anti-police and anti-capitalist movements to groups that express support for foreign terrorist organizations. These actors have exploited structural vulnerabilities in the nonprofit sector—lax oversight, complex funding channels, and even the legal system —to push ideas that are not merely unorthodox but deeply destabilizing.

China manufactured and weaponized Fentanyl by selling it online for direct shipment to America and other Western democracies. After the United States government cracked down, China partnered with Mexican Cartels to manufacture fentanyl on an industrial scale in order to get fentanyl into the U.S. Now Mexico has become the base for world-wide distribution.
Derek Maltz, Head of the DEA ⓘ DEA
"In regards to the drug crisis, this is historic.
We've never had anything like this in the history of America. It's a mass poisoning.
The Chinese Communist Party are behind it. Their fingerprints are on it."
PLEASE NOTE:
When you see reports on corrupt Chinese activities, many of those are meant to be clandestine or hidden. There is often much, much more similar activities that go un-reported. This page only meant to highlight a few reports in a range of areas that corrupt activities are taking place.
COLD WAR refers to war between nations through all available means,
other than direct military conflict.
COLD WARS are also known as HYBRID, UNCONVENTIONAL, POLITICAL, and ASYMMETRIC WARFARE, but all generally mean the same or similar thing.
Declared foreign enemies like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea do everything in their power to weaken and destabilize from within the United States and other free nations. International Terrorist and Criminal Groups also use these tactics to varying degrees.
IT STARTS BY DEVELOPING DOMESTIC ALLIES who are ideological, paid, criminal, or compromised recruits at all levels of society to work on their behalf.

TACTICS. An enemy's interactions are always serve DUAL PURPOSES, achieving military objections in economics, trade, political, electoral interference, diplomatic, propaganda, criminal, sabotage, fake news, espionage, cyberwarfare, legal warfare, and guerrilla warfare. It can include limited direct shooting warfare, but normally uses proxy wars ('shooting' or 'hot' wars) waged by surrogates, sub-contractors, and allies.
DOMESTIC NETWORKS - CREATING RELATIONSHIPS, ALLIANCES.
During a Cold War era, enemies purposely develop relationships and networks that can later be used for domestic spying, sabotage, and guerrilla warfare during a time of war. These networks are used for intelligence gathering, subversive activities, and corruption of leaders and strategic institutions.
DOMESTIC MILITANTS. This is done by starting, partnering with, funding, aiding the growth of, and utilizing Domestic Militant Allies like:
IDEALOGICAL and POLITICAL GROUPS - used to ferment/stir-up domestic unrest and violence;
CRIMINAL GANGS and CARTELS - used at all levels, for sabotage, destroying lives, the subversion, destruction, and corruption of strategic industries, business, and military assets and personnel.
FROM COLD WAR to HOT WAR: GUERILLA WARFARE ON U.S. SOIL.
During a Cold War Era, these militant groups have been, knowingly or unknowingly, equipped and developed for a 'hot' shooting war, where they will be used in Guerrilla Warfare and Sabotage on U.S. Soil. Are all 'groomed' people in domestic militant groups participate? That's an unknown, but what is known: some will.
FOREIGN MILITANTS. This is done through the physical infiltration onto U.S. Soil and integration into U.S. Society of Active and In-Active (sleeper) Spies and Soldiers. They are used for active operations and preparation for guerrilla warfare and sabotage in a hot war.
HISTORY. Cold War Tactics have their roots in the US-Soviet Cold War (1947-91) and in World War 2 (1939-45). In WW2 they were used in enemy occupied lands by the U.S. and Britain (Allies) with domestic 'resistance groups' who fought against NAZI Germany and Fascist Italy (Axis). These tactics expanded greatly in number, types, and use during 1947 to 1991 during the global US-Soviet Cold War.
