Peter Schweizer: Fentanyl a ‘Chinese Operation Much More than It Is a Mexican Drug Cartel Operation'

2024-03-03

[Breitbart] Fentanyl is a "Chinese operation much more than it is a Mexican drug cartel operation," Peter Schweizer, author of Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans, said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.

Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) and senior contributor at Breitbart News, explained how the Chinese are using fentanyl as a weapon against the United States.

"A lot of the people involved in the fentanyl trade actually have senior positions in the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] or they’re advisers to the CCP government, but the links in this chain of fentanyl that is poisoning 100,000 Americans, every link in that chain is a Chinese operation," Schweizer said, explaining that the Mexican cartels are "really the junior partners."

"We all know the precursors come from China," Schweizer said, explaining that we have been unable to stop the precursors because the International Terminal in Manzanillo in Mexico is "actually run by a Chinese company that’s very close to the Chinese state," he said, explaining that those precursors "come into the port of Manzanillo" and are "moved to a town in northern Mexico where, according to leaked documents from the Department of Homeland Security that I obtained, 2,000 Chinese nationals essentially operate as chemists."

In other words, these Chinese nationals are on our border doing it in our backyard. It does not end there, either, because the Chinese are selling pill presses to the Mexican cartels "at cost," and the cartels are using communication devices and apps that are Chinese "because they know that the Chinese will not share those communications with U.S. law enforcement," Schweizer said.

Destabilization. This has been going on in earnest since 2017...the amount of meth and fentanyl laced drugs increased five fold and prices plummeted seven years ago. So, I guess meth/fentanyl was really phase 1, although the Covid crisis interrupted their fentanyl supply chain for a year or so.

The Wuhan BIO Gain of Function project was cumbersome and failed to produce timely results.

Austin's Shelby Park may become the model for restrictions or elimination of fentanyl importation. Domestic production is likely to become essential.
