#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.

That was Great Britain not the US.
