Chinese Fentanyl

US State Department stars Jake Sullivan and Kurt Campbell have both been scurrying about Asia and the South Pacific lobbying the locals to allow the Yankees to assist in the interdiction of synthetic opioids that are being staged there for shipment to the US. Evidently Americans from the ghettos to Beverly Hills are so  captivated by turning themselves into zombies that the Commie Chinese can make both big profits and speed the collapse of the free world by setting up a supply chain that focuses on small Pacific island nations.

As efforts focused on previous drug scourges have proven, it seems unlikely that the demand will be unsatisfied regardless of what the US government does. In fact, other contraband casually enters the country with few problems, namely human beings. Failing to eliminate, or even alleviate, this situation doesn't bode well for the battle against opioids.

A cynic might look at the affair as just another hegemonic attempt to gain power in an area that's been ignored for decades. The US paid no attention to Tonga and the Solomons until the Chinese began putting up infrastructure in the area. Helping the locals fight climate change and rising seas is also on the agenda. Pushed into the memory hole are the atomic explosions the US detonated on Bikini atoll, Enewetok atoll and Johnston Island, 105 in all, the last occurring in 1962. 

If US authorities have investigated and confirmed the supply chain of synthetic opioids running through the Pacific islands and on to Mathew Perry's home, how about some real evidence? Maybe that is expecting too much. Legal authorities at all levels have yet to even mention, much less exert an effort to combat urban graffiti, a cancer that is a sure sign of imminent societal doom. The Chicoms are doubtlessly paying the graffiti "artists" to deface inner city properties with inane script, perhaps containing subliminal messages about the thrill of fentanyl.
