    Battling the Fentanyl Onslaught: DEA’s Struggle Against Record Seizures and Growing Threats

    JimBy Updated: Whatfinger News 10 Mins Read

    Deep State Speaker Johnson talks a big game, but he is doing all he can to keep the border wide open, to help Biden poison and kill Americans. he has it within his power to stop Biden cold, yet as a Deep State operative he cares not. He is merely McCarthy with a cross, trying to hide his deceit with religion. Well, times up already. Americans are now dying at over 300-400 per day.  That’s like a major airline crashing daily, all because Speaker Johnson is not fighting for America and doing what the Dmeocrats want.  But here is a clip he posted, notice how he watched MSNBC, a racist anti-MAGA news channel as Trump calls it…

    Last year, the DEA seized 386 million lethal doses of fentanyl. That’s enough to kill every single person in this country. That’s why I call it a WMD. – Kari Lake

    Why are we paying taxes, when the federal government doesn’t provide security at the borders? That’s their basic responsibility. Biden is responsible for the fentanyl deaths, child and adult sex trafficking, and who knows how many terrorists entering. DEA seizes greatest amount of fentanyl in agency history in 2023 The quantity translates to more than 386 million deadly doses of fentanyl – enough to kill more than everyone in the United States. Joe Biden has done absolutely nothing to stop it. In fact, he has opened the border to such an extent that he is helping China, the manufacture of Fentanyl, kill 150K plus Americans a year. That’s on the low end. 

    Last year, as the agency celebrated its 50th anniversary, it also transformed its organization and strategy, it said, “to meet this extraordinary moment in time as the United States confronts the deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced – fentanyl.” But their efforts weren’t enough to keep up with the supply pouring into the U.S. from the southern border, where the drug is manufactured in Mexico using precursors shipped from China, it said. And the potency of drugs they are seizing is more deadly than before. – Just The News

    In 2023, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) faced an unprecedented challenge as it seized over 77 million fentanyl pills and nearly 12,000 pounds of fentanyl powder, marking the highest annual confiscation in the agency’s history. This alarming quantity equates to more than 386 million potentially lethal doses, posing a grave threat to the entire U.S. population.

    About time we took fentanyl seriously. It’s only killed hundreds of thousands of us. The US is being invaded and we are in a one-sided war with the drug cartels. They kill us but we do nothing. Wake up- Keith Dorschner

    Amid the celebration of its 50th anniversary, the DEA acknowledged the need for a comprehensive transformation in both its organization and strategy to confront the escalating crisis of fentanyl, which it labeled as the deadliest drug threat the country has ever encountered.

    Despite the agency’s dedicated efforts, the supply of fentanyl pouring into the U.S. from the southern border, particularly from Mexico, remains a significant challenge. The drug, manufactured in Mexico using precursors shipped from China, has become increasingly potent, heightening the risks associated with law enforcement interventions.

    Special Agent in Charge J. Todd Scott, head of DEA’s Louisville Field Division, expressed the enormity of the challenge, stating, “This is not a problem that can be solved by law enforcement alone.”

    Attributing a substantial part of the fentanyl influx to the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels in Mexico, the DEA responded by establishing a new strategic layer called Counter Threat Teams. These teams focus on each cartel and their associated illicit finance networks, utilizing intelligence gathered from 334 DEA offices worldwide to map global cartels’ networks and identify targets for investigation and prosecution.

    While the cartels operate primarily from Mexico, the DEA has identified over 50 countries where they conduct their operations, tracing their global supply chain. The agency outlined the process by which fentanyl enters the U.S.: cartels purchase chemicals from Chinese companies, ship them to Mexico, and then mass-produce fentanyl. The finished product is trafficked and distributed widely in the United States, primarily through the southwest border.

    In the previous year, DEA agents took comprehensive actions to disrupt every step of the fentanyl supply chain. This included bringing charges against Chinese chemical companies for supplying precursor chemicals, extraditing cartel leaders and associates, and targeting individuals distributing fentanyl in communities nationwide, often advertising their products on social media.

    Why are democrats allowing Chinese fentanyl smuggling? Enough seized to kill every American. DEA: Fentanyl seizures in 2023 is the most in single year – Joe McKinley

    The DEA emphasized that the fentanyl available today is even deadlier than before, with an alarming update: laboratory testing in 2023 found that seven out of 10 pills contained a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl, up from six out of 10 in 2022 and four out of 10 in 2021. Illicit fentanyl, weighing just two milligrams, equivalent to a mosquito’s weight, stands as the leading cause of death for Americans between 18 and 45 years old.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predicts record numbers of drug poisonings for 2023, estimating that 112,323 Americans will have died from drug overdoses, with nearly 70% attributed to fentanyl poisoning.

    The DEA’s efforts are complemented by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents who, in 2023, seized enough lethal drugs to kill over 6 billion people, including 27,000 pounds of fentanyl at ports of entry nationwide. State law enforcement officials have also reported record amounts of fentanyl seizures, with multiagency efforts in various states yielding staggering results.

    Wait, do I correctly understand that we know the name of the ONE Chinese company that sells fentanyl precursors to the cartels and that company is not already a smoldering crater? Our government must be owned by the cartels. Or China. Or both. – Scott Adams

    In Arizona, a collaborative effort led to the seizure of enough illicit drugs, including fentanyl, to kill over 40 million people. Similarly, a single bust in Los Angeles resulted in the confiscation of enough fentanyl to potentially kill over 600,000 people. In Florida, two multiagency drug busts yielded quantities of fentanyl sufficient to cause harm to nearly double the state’s population. Texas officials reported seizing more than 453 million lethal doses of fentanyl, surpassing the combined populations of Canada and the United States.

    In response to the severity of the crisis, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody led a coalition urging the president to classify illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. The coalition highlighted the border crisis and the influx of known or suspected terrorists as additional reasons to consider fentanyl a significant national security threat.  It doesn’t matter what any individual state does though. Ultimately, this is an issue that can only be fixed by Congress, and the POTUS.  Since President Biden has zero intention of doing anything to hurt China and the billions that they make from fentanyl. China holds all the cards as they bribed Biden and his whole family, which received tens of millions from the Communists. Biden and crew look the other way as a result, and it is they, along with Speaker Johnson, who are now directly responsible for every death. if you know someone who has recently died from a fentanyl poisoning, look at the people who did it. THEY are now responsible for the 150K plus deaths a year. THEY need to be held accountable.

    Major Points Discussed:

    • In 2023, the DEA seized over 77 million fentanyl pills and nearly 12,000 pounds of fentanyl powder, representing the highest annual confiscation in its history.
    • The DEA recognized fentanyl as the deadliest drug threat in U.S. history, leading to a strategic overhaul in organization and strategy to address the escalating crisis.
    • Despite DEA efforts, the supply of potent fentanyl from Mexico, manufactured with Chinese precursors, continues to pose a significant challenge, overwhelming law enforcement resources.
    • The Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels in Mexico are identified as major contributors to the fentanyl influx. In response, the DEA established Counter Threat Teams to target these cartels and their associated illicit finance networks.
    • Fentanyl available today is deadlier than before, with laboratory testing revealing that seven out of 10 pills contain a potentially lethal dose. This illicit substance, weighing just two milligrams, is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45.
