Kentucky CBP intercept 'lethal' fentanyl shipment from South Africa labeled as ‘water purification'

[FoxNews] Package arriving in Louisville, Kentucky contained 220,700 lethal doses of fentanyl, officials say.

The package arrived in Louisville on Sept. 21 and contained enough "lethal doses" of fentanyl to kill 220,700 people, CBP said.

Officers found a bottle labeled "Hydrozone ph-Balance" containing a white powder that tested positive for fentanyl. A small zip lock bag labeled "Bicarbonate minerals" also contained a white powder that tested positive for the deadly narcotic.

The total amount of fentanyl seized was 441 grams. The agency said the estimated street value was $58,000.

Another zip lock bag labeled as "Magnesium mix" was also found inside the shipment. It contained 32.8 grams of a white crystal substance that tested positive for cocaine.

The shipment was destined for a residence in Littleton, Colorado, the agency said.

Since September 1, the agency said officers in Louisville have seized 17 pounds of cocaine, 20 pounds of fentanyl, 83 pounds of steroids, 119 pounds of ketamine, 123 pounds of heroin, 141 pounds of methamphetamine and 251 pounds of marijuana.

The total street value of these drugs was estimated to be over $4.6 million.

#5 Is that the REAL reason there was a recent recall of Skittles?

#7 Few now refer to COVID as a product of 'wet market' bushmeat. Perhaps we should likewise discontinue referring to fentanyl as a "narcotic."

Just a random thought.

Wiki - Project Coast was a 1980s top-secret chemical and biological weapons (CBW) program instituted by the apartheid-era government of South Africa. Project Coast was the successor to a limited postwar CBW program, which mainly produced the lethal agents CX powder and mustard gas; as well as non-lethal tear gas for riot control purposes.[1] The program was headed by Wouter Basson, a cardiologist.

#8 As Tyrus pointed out a few days ago there was much more ado about an envelope with anthrax in it than there is about fentanyl. Replace the word fentanyl with anthrax and maybe there would be more concern. It's poison.

Now stop and imagine if they started shipping it in, hidden in Baby Milk cans.

Yes, I'm sure the Chicoms believe we deserve it. That doesn't mean we have to let 'em do it, though.

Yes. I'd call it chemical warfare being waged against America by China.

Packaged as children's treats and water purification treatment? I'd call it war on terror.

#13 This is straight up chemical warfare, and requires an overwhelming response. If the point of origin, as I suspect, is the Mexican Cartels, with ingredients supplied by the Chinese, kinetic action directly to the Mexican manufacturing locations is required. A couple of doses and the manufacture will stop. If the production comes from a new source in South Africa, ditto. This is happening because the perps see America as a collapsing empire in terminal decline with corrupted/inept political leadership at the federal level. Would they dare do this if Reagan or even Trump were in office?

#14 ^ Now that's a kinetic action I could support.
