Sheriff Mark Lamb: China Supplies Fentanyl Ingredients to Cartels to Flood America with Overdose Deaths
[Breitbart] Mark Lamb, sheriff of Pinal County, AZ, noted on Wednesday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast with host Alex Marlow that China supplies transnational criminal cartels based in Mexico with most essential ingredients required to produce fentanyl.

"Centuries ago, there were the Opium Wars that literally almost brought a dynasty to its knees, and I think that China is now exacting that same fate on the West [and] on America," Lamb stated. "They’re bringing in the majority of the precursors that it takes to create the fentanyl. They give it to the cartels in Mexico, and then Mexico is producing the product that they’re transporting into Arizona and into America."

Breitbart News reported on the rising numbers of overdose deaths — many related to fentanyl — over recent years. The number of overdose deaths in America rose nearly 15 percent in the year following the Biden administration’s installation, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Drug overdose deaths have been increasing nearly every year since 1999, according to data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a subsidiary of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The federal bureaucracy estimated the number of overdose deaths to be 91,799 in 2020. The bureaucracy’s estimated number of domestic overdose deaths for the twelve-month period ending in January 2021 is 95,452. The following twelve-month period ending in January 2022 reached 108,769.

#1  Asymmetric long-game:

Phase One: Destroy US manufacturing and economy
Phase Two: Infiltrate US political establishment and Biden Crime Family
Phase Three: Unleash Wuhan bio-weapon
Phase Four: Flood US with fentanyl via cartel clients

All phases now operating concurrently.

#3  Other news articles I've found show Mexican cartel workers mixing up batches of fentanyl using tools similar to those use to mix cement by hand.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran rushing ahead with uranium enrichment, UN nuclear watchdog says in report
[IsraelTimes] IAEA update finds installation of advanced centrifuges now complete at Natanz underground plant; Tehran says it plans to add even more of devices banned under 2015 deal

Iran
...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence...
has increased the number of advanced uranium enrichment centrifuges it fields and intends to add more of the devices, quickly growing its enrichment capabilities, according to a confidential ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency report seen by Rooters on Monday.

The newly installed devices, located at the underground Natanz enrichment plant, are banned under Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

Efforts to salvage the tattered agreement — which eased international sanctions in exchange for a drastic limitation of Iran’s nuclear activities — have been ongoing since then-US president Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
withdrew America from it in 2018.

The US reimposed biting sanctions, provoking Tehran into stepping back from its nuclear commitments, greatly increasing its stock of enriched uranium and turning off monitoring cameras operated by the IAEA, the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
nuclear watchdog.

The new report was an update following a September review of a visit by IAEA inspectors to the site at the end of August. Since then, Iran has completed the installation of seven cascades of centrifuges, the bulletin said.

The six IR-2m machines and one IR-4 device are not yet enriching uranium, the IAEA found.

In addition, Iran has told the IAEA it intends to add three more cascades of IR-2m centrifuges at Natanz. There are already 12 such cascades at the plant, each consisting of several combined centrifuges enriching uranium. Work has already started on two of the cascades.

In another development, the report said that while all the centrifuges at Natanz are producing uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas enriched to five percent, they are now being fed with natural UF6. In September the IAEA said the devices were being loaded with UF6 enriched to up to 2%. The recent report did not explain why the change was made, Rooters said.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said last week he had met with the head of Iran’s atomic energy agency, amid stalled attempts to revive the nuclear deal, known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

After months of friction, the two sides met face-to-face in Vienna.

"Dialogue has restarted with Iran on clarification of outstanding safeguards issues," Grossi tweeted on September 26.

He said he had met with Mohammad Eslami — Iran’s nuclear chief — on the sidelines of the IAEA’s annual conference, and posted a picture of the two men shaking hands.

The UN watchdog has been pressing Iran to give answers on the presence of nuclear material at three undeclared sites, a key sticking point that led to a resolution criticizing Iran being passed at a June meeting of the IAEA’s board of governors.

Ahead of the meeting, Grossi told Iran that his agency would not halt the probe into the undeclared sites, signaling that the issue would continue to block efforts between world powers and Iran to reenter the nuclear deal.

Eslami also signaled Iran was unwilling to compromise on the issue, saying the investigation relied on "false, baseless information."

#7  That article is funny in that halfway down they have an image of Iranian girls showing their hair defiantly and showing the finger to the religious leaders. Below that two European stars cutting off their hair in a support video.

Cutting off the hair feels as if they are supporting the religious leaders.

#8  Because affluent white female liberals are fucking retarded. Not 80's retarded, not the slur, but the self obsessive drug brain addled retarded.

Bet money that if their Personal Influencer told them to mail their hair to Ukraine to support Transgender Covid issues they would have box addressed to Ghost of Kyeev ready-to-go.
