How China Is Flooding America With Fentanyl on Purpose to Undermine Our Society

/1 Comment/in , /by

While we debate domestic politics to address the fentanyl crisis, the reality is that Beijing is deeply involved at every stage of the drug’s production and distribution in the United States.

It’s little wonder that in 2019, some senior officials at the US Department of Homeland Security asked for fentanyl to be classified as a “weapon of mass destruction.” . . .

Based on leaked US national security documents, Mexican government hacked emails or correspondence, and Chinese corporate records, we know that the fentanyl operation is under Chinese control from start to finish, including:

. . .Most of the pharmaceutical ingredients needed to produce the synthetic cocktail known as fentanyl are produced in China.

In the northern city of Shijiazhuang, west of Beijing, chemical companies churn out such ingredients. A highly militarized city boasting some eleven military facilities including several command schools, military hospitals, and medical facilities, it is also a government-designated national development zone. So the companies producing the fentanyl chemicals get tax credits. (Read more from “How China Is Flooding America With Fentanyl on Purpose to Undermine Our Society” HERE)

Mother Arrested in Baby’s Fentanyl Overdose Death

/1 Comment/in , /by

A heartbreaking incident has unfolded in Florida, leading to the arrest of 33-year-old Kacy Kincaid after her 9-month-old baby boy succumbed to a fentanyl overdose in October. The Ocala Police Department announced on social media that Kincaid is now facing an aggravated manslaughter of a child charge in connection with the tragic death, and she was taken into custody on January 24.

The investigation commenced on October 12 when Ocala police officers responded to Advent Health regarding the infant, who was later pronounced deceased. At that time, the cause of the baby’s death was unclear, but the police discovered that Kincaid had 5 grams of fentanyl in her possession. Attempts to interview her proved challenging, as she appeared to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol and was unable to engage in coherent conversation, leading to her arrest on a felony trafficking charge.

A subsequent report from the Medical Examiner’s Office revealed that the baby had died from fentanyl, methamphetamine, and xylazine toxicity. Kincaid’s blood sample also tested positive for fentanyl, along with other substances. The 5 grams of fentanyl found in her possession showed the presence of the same xylazine compound found in the child’s blood during the autopsy.

Detective Kern, leading the investigation, determined there was sufficient probable cause to arrest Kincaid for the death of her child. During the inquiry, law enforcement interviewed a relative who shared a home with Kincaid. The relative found Kincaid drunk and asleep in her bed and discovered the baby in the bed as well, appearing to be sleeping peacefully.

An argument between Kincaid and the relative about her drinking ensued, leading the relative to move to their room with the baby. Later, when attempting to move the baby, the relative found the infant ‘stiff,’ prompting CPR before rushing the baby to the hospital.

Kincaid is currently incarcerated in the Marion County jail with no set bond.

Pawn Stars’ Rick Harrison Mourns Son’s Fentanyl Overdose, Blames Border Crisis

/2 Comments/in , /by

Rick Harrison, well-known as one of the main figures on the reality show “Pawn Stars,” has revealed the tragic loss of his 39-year-old son, Adam, to a fentanyl overdose. In a statement to Fox News, Rick confirmed the cause of Adam’s death and expressed concern about the escalating fentanyl crisis in the country, attributing it to challenges at the border.

“Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose,” Rick stated. “The fentanyl crisis in this country must be taken more seriously. It seems it is just flowing over the borders, and nothing is being done about it. We must do better.”

Although Adam never appeared on “Pawn Stars,” he had worked at the Gold & Silver Pawn, the shop featured in the show, before it gained widespread fame in 2009.

The fentanyl crisis, which has reached epidemic levels, has been a growing concern, with many attributing the surge to issues at the southern border. Rick Harrison’s statement reflects the frustration and grief experienced by families affected by this deadly drug.

Last year, San Francisco recorded its deadliest year on record for overdose deaths, largely due to the rise in fentanyl. In the first nine months of 2023 alone, the city witnessed 692 overdose deaths, surpassing the total for the entire year of 2022. The city is projected to exceed 800 deaths in the current year, surpassing its highest year in 2020 when it recorded 720 deaths.

Despite various policies aimed at addressing the crisis, the overdose deaths persist, raising concerns among experts. A troubling trend has emerged, with more victims found to have consumed both fentanyl and methamphetamine.

WATCH: House Democrat Lectures Mother of Fentanyl Overdose Victim, but She Exposes Him With Just One Question

/9 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) on Thursday lectured the mother of a fentanyl overdose victim. But unfortunately for Goldman, that mother was not interested in his political games.

At a House Homeland Security Committee hearing focused on the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Goldman challenged Josephine Dunn, an Arizona mother whose daughter died at 26 years old after mistakenly ingesting fentanyl.

At first, Goldman told Dunn she was being “used” by Republicans before belittling her knowledge and telling her she doesn’t understand “what a high-crime misdemeanor is and how it relates” to impeachment proceedings. Then, he mocked Second Amendment supporters before finally asking Dunn if she agrees the U.S. needs more Border Patrol agents. . .

That’s when Dunn turned the tables on Goldman and asked him a question — something the New York Democrat clearly did not like.

“I’ve been to the border, sir. Have you? Have you?” Dunn asked.

Biden’s U.S. Border Crisis Is Now Deadly Enough to Kill Every American

/8 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Joe Biden’s border crisis is deadly enough to kill every American, literally — as proven by the 386 million doses of fentanyl seized by the DEA in 2023.

Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans between 18 and 45.

The 12 months ending in April 2023 saw more than 111,355 overdose deaths among Americans — even higher than the already record-breaking 110,394 the year before.

At an average of 22 deaths per week, the death rate for teen drug ODs in 2022 more than doubled the rate in 2018, another grim figure driven by the synthetic opioid.

Fentanyl victim Ashley Dunn died of an overdose in 2021; her mother gave heartbreaking testimony before Congress Thursday at an impeachment inquiry hearing for Biden’s border enabler No. 1, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Man Stabbed in Neck During Randall’s Island Migrant Shelter Melee; 18 in Custody but Suspect on the Loose

By New York Post. A wild melee at the troubled Randall’s Island migrant shelter Thursday left an [illegal alien] stabbed in the neck and 18 people in custody — with cops still hunting for the knife-wielding suspect, law-enforcement sources say.

A brawl broke out at the troubled shelter around 3:30 p.m. between two groups, who started fighting inside the shelter but then took it outside — armed with knives and throwing rocks at each other, sources said.

A 24-year-old man was stabbed during violent chaos, sources said.

He was taken by EMTs to Harlem Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

A 911 caller initially indicated to cops that a security guard stabbed the victim, but police sources later said it appeared that was not the case and that the assailant was still at large.

Facing the Fentanyl Crisis: Unveiling the Reality Through Statistics and a Mother’s Call to Action

/1 Comment/in , /by

In the grip of a relentless surge in fentanyl-related deaths, a public health crisis has unfolded, leaving families shattered and communities grappling with the devastating consequences. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid with unparalleled potency, has become a central player in the opioid epidemic, causing an alarming rise in fatalities worldwide.

While fentanyl was originally developed for pain management under the close supervision of a prescribing doctor, the chemical makeup has been mimicked and the drug has been pouring into our communities taking the lives of children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and friends.

Fentanyl’s Stealthy Onslaught: A Closer Look at the Statistics

According to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), fentanyl has emerged as a synthetic opioid that surpasses morphine and heroin in potency. Its chemical makeup has been replicated, infiltrating communities and claiming lives with unprecedented speed. Fentanyl poses an imminent threat in seemingly-safe American communities, contributing to a surge in opioid-related deaths globally.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports a concerning global increase in opioid-related deaths, with the United States, Canada, and Europe experiencing a significant impact from fentanyl. Preliminary data from the United States indicates that synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl, were involved in over two-thirds of all overdose deaths. Canada witnessed more than 6,000 opioid-related deaths in 2022, with fentanyl as the primary factor. European countries, as identified by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), have witnessed a notable rise in fentanyl-related deaths.

A Mother’s Journey Through Grief and Awareness

Amidst the harrowing statistics, Tracy Norris shares her personal journey through grief and awareness in her book, Shadows of Grief. Reflecting on the tragic loss of her son Marcus to a decade-long battle with addiction and eventual fentanyl overdose, Tracy’s experience offers a heartbreaking glimpse into the struggles that accompany loving and parenting a son suffering from addiction.

Tracy’s experience serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of fentanyl on families. As she navigates the complexities of grief, she sheds light on the importance of understanding the whole truth about addiction and the role fentanyl plays in exacerbating the crisis. Through her journey, Tracy emphasizes the need for awareness, compassion, and healing, challenging societal perspectives on addiction.

Below is an excerpt of Tracy’s book, due for release on March 10th:

This book is a personal reflection of my journey raising and loving a child who developed a chemical dependency and lost his battle with addiction. I walk through many of the red flags, near misses, adventures, heartache, and chaos that comes with loving an addict. The years of caring, praying, and fighting for the sanity and sobriety of my child were traumatizing, not only for myself, but for my husband, our other children, and our entire family. The pain of watching Marcus’s slow decline and death has not only shaken me to my very core, but it has also changed me as a person. Marcus’s preventable death has been debilitating for me. It has shifted all my perspectives and left me challenging every choice that I have made as a parent and who I am as a person. My journey to healing is very much still in progress, and I suspect that I will continue to move toward complete healing for the rest of my life. I believe that Marcus’s story—his battle with addiction and drug abuse, his fight for recovery, and ultimately the loss of his life—is only wasted if the journey stops with his passing.

Moving Forward: A Call to Action

As communities grapple with the fentanyl crisis, these statistics and personal stories underscore the urgency of collective action. Shadows of Grief serves as a testament to the profound consequences of fentanyl and the ongoing crisis. An effective approach to reducing the impact of the fentanyl crisis would include cooperation with law enforcement, comprehensive harm reduction strategies, and addressing the fentanyl crisis necessitates collaboration across borders and sectors. Only through awareness, education, and a united front can we hope to curb the rising tide of fentanyl-related deaths and provide support for those navigating the challenging path of recovery.

‘How Dare You?’: Mom Rips ‘Despicable’ Biden for Laughing at Blame Claim for Sons’ Fentanyl Deaths

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Michigan mom whose two sons died of fentanyl overdoses has slammed President Biden as “despicable” after he laughed off the false claim that his administration was to blame for their deaths.

Rebecca Kiessling, whose sons Caleb, 20, and Kyler, 18, died in July 2020 after taking fentanyl-laced Percocet pills, took aim at Biden on Wednesday night after he used her family’s story to knock GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s suggestion he was responsible for the fatalities.

“This is how you speak about the death of my sons? Because a congresswoman misspoke? You mock the loss of my sons?” Kiessling said in a scathing video posted on Facebook.

Kiessling had testified before the House Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday about the loss of her sons, telling Congress that more should be done to stop fentanyl imports.

Greene (R-Ga.) quickly seized on Kiessling’s testimony, suggesting that the brothers might still be alive if the Biden administration had secured the border and stopped the flow of drugs into the US.

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intercepted a load of fentanyl pills disguised inside tamales at the Arizona-Mexico border, the Nogales port director Michael W. Humphries said on Twitter Thursday.

The Wednesday seizure included around 2,100 fentanyl pills hidden inside the tamales that were inside a cooler, according to Humphries’ tweet. CBP officers seized over 12,000 pounds of fentanyl at the southern border between October 2021 and August 2022, according to agency statistics.

“Excellent work by officers and K9 teams maintaining a high level of vigilance,” Humphries wrote in the tweet of the recent confiscation.

Teen Charged With Murder Over Fentanyl Overdose Death

/0 Comments/in , /by

A California teenager has been charged with murder for allegedly dealing fentanyl drugs to another teen which led to an overdose fatality.

Eighteen-year-old Alfred Urrea issued a non-guilty plea and is being held on a $1 million bail with a pre-preliminary hearing set for Tuesday. Adrian Alloway, another 18 year old, passed away from a fentanyl overdose at the end of August.

This is the second time San Bernardino County authorities have brought murder charges due to a fentanyl poisoning.

“In cases such as this, where murder is alleged, we believe we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt the dealer knowingly understood the dangers of fentanyl, and still chose profits over human life when supplying drugs to the victim,” District Attorney Jason Anderson said.

Fentanyl is a growing problem, especially among young people across the country. (Read more from “Teen Charged With Murder Over Fentanyl Overdose Death” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents seized an estimated $4.3 million worth of fentanyl pills on Wednesday evening.

The seizure happened in the Tuscon, Arizona Sector when agents conducted a vehicle stop on a white Chevy Equinox and observed several duffel bags in the car, according to a press release. Agents also noticed that the female driver was “noticeably nervous as she was questioned.” Another female was in the car, and both are U.S. citizens, according to officials.

CBP agents then searched the vehicle with her consent, and found three bags that contained packages wrapped in black tape, in addition to being coated in axle grease, according to the government agency.

It was later determined that the 340 packages of fentanyl pills weighed a total of 187 pounds and was estimated to have been worth $4.3 million.
