Call It What It Is – Opioid Crisis Scam Update

Virginia update:

Dec 13, 2019 Star-Tribune

Agencies meet in Danville to discuss opioid crisis

“The Danville Police Department recognized the need to initiate a comprehensive opioid response plan in response to the spike in heroin and fentanyl-related overdoses the city experienced in late October.”

Maybe the article could educate more on heroin and fentanyl and lose the imprecise term opioid.

Opioid lawsuits won’t work on illegal product moved from outside the US into local communities.

Does the word opioid seem more safe and comfortable because the good guys can control what goes on over at the small town drugstore?

Do Americans hesitate to ask questions about a US Dept. of Homeland Security that gets another $40.6 billion every 12 months?

Newspeople remain silent.

Homeland Security Vote of Confidence:

Richmond Times-Dispatch Nov 16, 2019

High volume of methamphetamine coming from Mexico is fueling surge in meth use in Va. and elsewhere

“Methamphetamine abuse is rising in Virginia, where fatal overdoses from the illicit drug shot up from 88 to 127 deaths, or 44%, from 2017 to 2018.”

“There are a number of reasons for the surge in meth use, she said. In part, it is because users are growing concerned about the dangers of opioids and are looking for something else.”

“A primary driver of the meth problem are traffickers from Mexico bringing it into the country in huge quantities, and they are expanding the labs in Mexico where it is made, she said.”

“The meth from Mexico is cheap and of high quality.”

Thanks for risking your ass in Iraq & Afghanistan-working to keep bad people from coming here to do bad things.

Puget Sound area update:

Let’s get away from the politician talk.

Heroin crisis: A situation involving illegal product moved from outside the US into local communities. The US Dept. of Homeland Security has jurisdiction at the border, border crossings & ports of entry.

With a budget of $40.6 billion-how is the US Dept. of Homeland Security doing at keeping heroin away from local communities?

Opioid crisis: Term favored by the press & politicians to describe the abuse of product which may be stolen from Grandma’s medicine cabinet-also a very serious issue.

Accurate reporting allows people to learn how to prevent future incidents.

Anytime there is a plane crash-a thorough investigation takes place. Lessons learned are used to prevent future accidents.

Was the aircraft fueled with opioids before it crashed? Was it running on heroin?

Recovery, rehab, treatment, & addiction are important parts of this story.

What part of the story is missing?

Has anyone ever seen the press question the US Dept. of Homeland Security/CBP on their role in keeping heroin and meth from arriving in the Puget Sound area?

US Border Patrol, Port Angeles, WA

An upgrade in staff requiring a new, $11.9 million, 50 agent facility. Secret arrest statistics, denied FOIA requests, heroin and meth in the community, no cross-border USBP arrest in more than 9 years, fraudulent overtime claims, 1,200-horsepower interceptor boats and zero questions from the press.

Voting is highly emphasized in American culture. Asking questions related to public policy takes a lower priority.

Are newspeople forbidden to ask questions related to Homeland Security funding and performance?
