Fentanyl is a chemical weapon.
Jan 7th, 2024 at 8:10am
 
Fentanyl is a chemical weapon.
Interesting fact about that drug on the streets of the USA which is made in China -


https://usafacts.org/articles/are-fentanyl-overdose-deaths-rising-in-the-us/

In 2022, fentanyl was responsible for 200 deaths every day.
Over a quarter of a million Americans have died from a fentanyl overdose since 2018.




Fentanyl has been used as a chemical weapon by the Russians
but not in the current war so far.


https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN11902

In 2002, the Russian military reportedly deployed an aerosolized form of fentanyl
to incapacitate terrorists holding hostages in
a Moscow theater; the gas also killed more than 120 of the hostages.


Illicit Fentanyl and Weapons of Mass
Destruction: International Controls and Policy


March 28, 2022
As synthetic opioid overdose deaths in the United States reach historic levels, some policy stakeholders
have sought U.S. action in designating fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction (WMD). Such calls have
also prompted congressional interest.

Others, including some Members of Congress, note the possible use of fentanyl as a weapon; in media
reports, observers have speculated that fentanyl’s increasing availability may prompt U.S. adversaries and
nonstate actors to weaponize the drug.
Governments have also recently committed to restricting the use of central nervous system-acting (CNS)
chemicals, including fentanyl, in law enforcement and other security operations.

I doubt that 50,000 Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses every year since 2018.

C'mon. 50,000 fentanyl deaths per year seems a bit extreme. There were 47,000 firearm deaths (homicide and suicide) in the year 2021. Given that you basically have to take a number of fentanyl tablets to actually succumb to death, it is an unreasonably high number of deaths to attribute to fentanyl usage.

Firearms are more freely available to Americans than medication.

After much research I trust that figure.

U.S. Life Expectancy decreased in 2021 for the second consecutive year, according to final mortality data released today. The drop was primarily due to increases in COVID-19 and drug overdose deaths.


A second report released today, “Drug Overdose Deaths in the United States, 2001-2021,” showed that overdose deaths, which account for more than a third of all accidental deaths in the United States, have risen five-fold over the past two decades. The official number of drug overdose deaths among residents in the United States for 2021 was 106,699, nearly 16% higher than the 91,799 deaths in 2020.

Other Findings:

The drug overdose death rate was 32.4 overdose deaths per 100,000 in 2021, higher than 28.3 in 2020.
The rate of drug overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids other than methadone (drugs such as fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, and tramadol) increased 22% from 17.8 in 2020 to 21.8 in 2021.

Prince had ‘exceedingly high’ level of fentanyl in body when he died



Prince was 57 when he was found alone and unresponsive in an elevator at his Paisley Park estate on 21 April, 2016. Public data released six weeks after his death showed he died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 times more powerful than heroin.

Search warrants released about a year after Prince’s death showed authorities found numerous pills in various containers around his home. A lab report shows many of the pills tested positive for fentanyl. Information released publicly indicates the source of those drugs has not been determined.

It's a deliberate policy of China to weaken America -
destroy them from within using Fentanyl and other drugs.

Also - 70% of US soldiers are too fat to fight any war.

China knows how to win the next war.

China won't fight a ground war
China will fight a computer war

China has very strict controls over what it's population can see
So there tiktok etc promotes nothing but scientific idealism
Good health tips physical fitness
Love of culture love of China

The tick tock phenomenon in America promotes division
Weird sexual fetishes
Crazy trans people
Gun nuts
Angry Blacks with machetes
Crazy whites with machine guns
China is determined to polarize and destroy American patriotism
In this it is succeeding


After the 2024 election
America may well descend into Civil war
A war engineered in many ways by the Chinese bots
They will have won without lifting a finger

Note also that the Chinese have convinced places like California and New York to go exclusively electric vehicle
A product which China supplies 75% of the world market
And at the same time China opens a new coal fired power facility every two weeks

Incredibly cunning people the Chinese
Cunning like businessman Donald Trump
He is probably the only politician in America able to put fear into them

The idea that China would fear an incontinent feeble mumbling prone to Falls shell of a man
Is laughable

https://www.stripes.com/theaters/us/2023-10-17/military-troops-obese-overweight-...

  Nearly 70% of US troops are overweight or obese, research report says



By Doug G. Ware

Stars and Stripes • October 17, 2023


WASHINGTON — Almost seven out of every 10 U.S. troops are either overweight or obese, according to a new report, which also warns the growing trend could compromise military readiness and undermine national security.

The American Security Project, a Washington-based nonprofit organization that studies modern national security issues, conducted the study and found 68% of active-duty service members fall somewhere between overweight and obese on the body mass index, which is a long-used but controversial method of assessing a person’s body classification by height and weight. A person between 25 and 30 on the BMI is considered clinically overweight and more than 30 is considered obese, according to the National Institutes of Health.

“Rapid and sustained recurrence of obesity across all services, ranks and positions now poses a dire threat, especially for at-risk populations and those in critical combat roles,” the group’s report states. “Designing an effective strategy to monitor and tackle obesity within the U.S. military begins by treating it like any other chronic disease.”

The American Security Project underscored obesity is the leading disqualifier of military applicants and a “primary contributor to in-service injuries and medical discharges.” The group also said the number of troops in the “obese” category have more than doubled in the past decade — from 10.4% in 2012 to 21.6% last year.

“Identifying, diagnosing, and treating obesity within soldiers at the front lines of our national defense may ultimately determine the long-term survival of the force. It may not be easy, but it is long overdue.”

With a population of 342 million you don't believe Fentanyl could be killing or having a hand in killing 50,000 per year?

There is an Opioid addiction pandemic in the US at present & Fentanyl use has kicked it to a higher level because it's over use & over dose is more likely to kill you. Most addicts use more than one drug.

With a population of 342 million people, I tend to underestimate what the murder numbers should be in the United States, given that the murder rate in the USA is about 5 times that of Australia. But, I find it difficult to believe that drug users could easily get access to fentanyl for there to be overdoses of the drug.
