The following report is from The Blaze:
Mexican authorities carried out a “historic” drug bust this week, seizing more than a half-ton of fentanyl from a warehouse in the northern city of Culiacan, officials said.
The Mexican Army and National Guard announced Thursday that on July 2, law enforcement located a property that had been used by criminals to smuggle drugs and had arrested 10 individuals found there. Authorities discovered an incredible 542.72 kilograms (1196.49 lbs) of fentanyl valued at nearly $230 million, the Associated Press reports.
This is the largest seizure in history of this lethal drug.
Said Assistant Public Safety Secretary Ricardo Mejia.
Teen Drug Overdose Deaths Rose Exponentially For The First Time In History Since The Lockdowns
Fentanyl is a deadly synthetic opioid that was responsible for more than 70,000 overdose deaths in the U.S. last year. It is 100 times more potent than morphine; just two milligrams of fentanyl can be enough to kill a person.
Drug smugglers south of the U.S.-Mexico border disguise fentanyl as counterfeit pills for common medications like Xanax, Adderall, or oxycodone. The opioid is commonly laced with other drugs into deadly cocktails that have led thousands to accidentally overdose.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration believes China is providing the source materials for fentanyl, which is manufactured in Mexico and then smuggled into the U.S. through the southern border.
Mexico’s Defense Department said the warehouse stash was discovered in Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state, where a violent drug cartel of the same name has its base of operations.
The July 2 raid also uncovered half-ton of meth, as well as cocaine, opium, and at least 70 tons of precursor chemicals, authorities said.
President Joe Biden’s administration hopes to curb the number of fatal drug overdoses in the U.S., setting an ambitious goal for a 13 percent reduction in overdose deaths by 2025. The White House released a National Drug Control Strategy in April that seeks to address untreated addiction and go after drug traffickers.
Dr. Rahul Gupta, head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, testified before a Senate oversight committee three weeks ago about the administration’s efforts to combat fentanyl manufactured in Mexico and smuggled into the U.S. by violent cartels.
A Pandora’s box has been opened. We can expect to see much more potent substances [in the future].
He told lawmakers.
Biden’s plan calls for increased spending on drug treatment and for medications that help reverse opioid overdoses to be made widely available.
But Republicans have insisted tighter border security and increased enforcement of drug laws targeting supply be a priority as well.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
If they were able to capture this amount, this means it was only but a drop in the bucket of what is circulating in Mexico alone, not even considering the fentanyl pandemic that is going here in America, especially amongst the younger generations.
Where’s the lockdowns for that? Ah, but this “war on drugs” is actively fueled by the American government and stakeholders, directly working with these drug dealers and gangs to purposefully create that problem: that was a primary reason for the Vietnam War.
The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
Proverbs 29:4
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I learned something new, Jacob: America is behind the drug cartel wars in Mexico – both the Sinaloas and the Zetas and why the Mexican army is at an indefinite war with them. The CIA the biggest drug cartel on earth definitely has its hands in this.
Also. Mexico is Roman Catholic to the core! When Roman Catholicism comes to an area, sin evil and corruption ALWAYS follow that’s a scientific fact. So the Catholics and jesuits are definitely behind this, too.
Vietnam was a drug war and so was Afghanistan.
Both those wars were a real two-for-one for the Roman Catholic Church. They were both wars of religious prejudice (as Ruckman said about Vietnam) and there was a profit to be made to boot. In the case of Vietnam, the prejudice was directed at Buddhists….the leader in South Vietnam was a Roman Catholic. In Afghanistan, the religious prejudice was and still is directed at the Shia sect of Islam because the RCC cannot control them like they can the Sunnis. Iran, also mainly Shia, should be the next country on their list. Shia Iraq has also succumbed, and our troops are their mainly as janitors, guards, and construction workers aiding the Vatican in building up a revived Babylon.
Excellent points, Liz.
Hey Jacob, I was wondering do you think you can make a quick article on Toby Keith? He’s got stomach cancer. Spent all of his years being a wicked, prideful country music star glorifying being a sinful, drunk lush.
Wow. Drugs are so bad
No kidding, Sherlock lol
Yeah, legal & illegal. Rome & her spirit are behind the cartel wars AND the front puppet of the ‘new’ post-1901, 1913, 1933 etc, infiltrated, taken & turned America now falling back to that old corporatist Babylonian Harlot with her fascist & communist arms, her black and white magic, her dialectic garbage & MYSTERY, her ‘arts’ and nicolaitan spiritist idolatrous humanist ecumenical cronies. Men thought they were fighting against drugs & the cartels, while men like Ollie North and Obama with his ‘Fast & Furious’ were betraying & running drugs, getting men better than themselves killed. You wonder what use they want to make of this that we get to ‘hear’ about it.
–
Like we got to see & hear about ‘conservative’ failure of Brexit in Great Britain, and the ‘conservative’ failure in the assassination of Abe, same day. While Rome preens & all those back in bed with her are moving onward & upward in self-righteous ‘I told you so’ CRAP as though they weren’t behind & orchestrating it all. Time for ‘change’….blah, blah, blah.

Rome was behind the establishment of the dollar as the world currency & the international banking schemes of enslavement, the demoralization and dumbing down, the War of 1812, the Jesuit & corporatist socialist influencing & financing of the filthy loser kabalist apostate Jew Marx, even as they cultivated the bastard child of a Jewish servant girl enamoured with occult superstition & wickedness, Adolph Hitler….and creeps like Rousseau and Voltaire earlier. They promoted & bootlegged booze, brought back chattel slavery after it had been unheard of in Europe for 100 years as a favor to the Portuguese crony, were involved in prostitution & sex slavery, got rich and built massive mob infrastructure on Prohibition & playing ‘Robin Hood’, propped up their Camelot Kennedy & then killed him to create a ‘martyr’, were behind the French Revolution, Guy Fawkes & the 5th of November, the Revision and the ASV, the sodomite power core, the Irish troubles & terrorism, the American Civil War, the ‘sexual revolution’…..seducing, drawing in, using & exploiting, then ‘exposing’, and playing the self-righteous hero & savior. Augustinian arrogance. Scholasticism & neo-paganism. Liberation theology and setting up, destroying their own with the fascist/communist game of supposed ‘opposites’, shades of Beziers. All craft & wickedness, manipulating & exploiting sin. Bloody. Perverse. Poison in every way…literally in the natural & flesh, and spiritually. The Lord Jesus Christ is going to bust that whole thing wide open, & it can’t come soon enough. So tired of the evil & deception. The hypocrisy, denial, delusion and pride. The devouring & defiling of everything good, right, true and pure. The blame-shifting. Laodicea & confusion. Lord help us to soldier on, to not grow weary of well-doing, to avoid the root of bitterness defiling many, to not lose compassion for those lost as we once were & to grow cold….help us to don the armor, to stand: so overwhelming, & we can’t do any of that in the flesh or alone without you, else we become as dead & useless & vomitous as Laodicea. Help us to stand tall in persecution & through the trials. There was the church OF Ephesus, the church IN Smyrna, the church IN Pergamos, the church IN Thyatira, the church IN Sardis, the church IN Philadelphia, and then the church OF THE LAODICEANS….all of & in places, except that last Jesus is standing outside of which is of the peoples’ rule. She’s waxing full.
When I was newly saved, I still used to binge-watch “The Wire” (not anymore since I was convicted by the Holy Spirit to stop watching all of these wicked tv shows and hollywood movies, and I strongly don’t recommend it), the cops had this expression there in the show, “Dope on the table”. They seize the illegal drugs, then literally lay it out on a table, and invite the press to take pictures and videos while the police commissioner orate a self-righteous speech about their “noble war” on drugs. Meanwhile, the elitists on top orchestrate a far greater amount of drugs to continue to circulate among society. Just another psy-op.
