Seattle Blue Tarp City – Drug War Scam Rolls On

Seattle was a world-class city in the last century. The WWII Generation had a modern society up and running in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Celebrate USA 250 and reflect on how Seattle has taken a dive in the post 911 era.

Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq, Afghanistan and other distant locations while working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.

Homeland Security Is A Scam

Big surveillance is constantly in the news. Kristi Noem tells us: The borders are sealed. Cartels are designated as terrorist organizations.

Trump sends ICE agents to gun down people at traffic stops and on the street inside the US. This takes place away from border crossings and ports of entry.

Trump blows up suspected drug boats in distant waters.

The Fantasy Newsperson Asks

Is the Seattle fentanyl situation any different today than it was under Biden?

Has any community anywhere in the US downsized or shut down any local drug task force, or narcotics enforcement team due to the success of Dept. of War strikes on suspected narcoterrorist drug boats, ICE crackdowns and designating cartels as terrorist organizations?

Has the big Homeland Security spending spree at Port Angeles been able to create any shortage of cartel product/fentanyl in the Puget Sound area?

Does the US Dept. of Homeland Security prevent cartel product from entering Seattle? This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US.

More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?

Has massing US Border Patrol agents at the southern edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca played any role in reducing Clallam County drug overdose numbers?

If OD numbers are lower, is this because DHS is able to keep cartel product from arriving in US communities, or because drug addicts are now fogged down with Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, etc. to combat overdoses?

Over in Island County

Has the Island County Homeland Security-funded patrol boat been involved in any arrest or seizure related in any way to the US/Canada border?

DOD was established after WWII in the late 1940s. DOD has a poor track record with undeclared/unwon wars.

The federal government loves to tell us that The Troops are sent to distant lands to protect our freedoms.

The US should maintain strong and ready military forces.

In some cases, the US Armed Forces provide for our security. That’s as good as it gets.

In terms of American rights and freedoms-The Dept. of Defense has no more say than the Dept. of Agriculture.

“I don’t want to think about the National Guard. I don’t want to necessarily discuss my affiliation with the National Guard. I don’t want to fulfill my normal National Guard duties just because of the abuses of the National Guard in this D.C. mission,” the guard member said, noting that isn’t how he’s felt after previous domestic deployments.”

“…everyone was really trying to be as helpful as possible to the community with whatever resources they were given, like providing Naloxone to counter the effects of an opioid overdose…”

By Kat Lonsdorf

Looks like tough talk from Kristi Noem, sealed borders, blowing up suspected drug boat crews, designating cartels as terrorist organizations, REAL ID and opioid lawsuits haven’t kept the opioids out.

Go ahead and claim lower OD numbers while fogging down addicts with Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, etc.

Armed Forces Recruiting – 1980s

Part of what made it work:

In past decades, people could do time in uniform, then return to the US with a feeling that they were living in the best country on the planet.

They believed it and their parents and grandparents believed it.

Those who did may have wished to hand down a better version of the modern American society to their kids and grandkids.

Today-

Standards back home have deteriorated. The troops return to an ongoing breakdown of society.

Emergency/crisis/chaos mode is what we get now.

Like many others, I graduated from high school in the greater Seattle area in the late 1970s.

Back in those days, Seattle was a place to visit for day or night activities such as shopping, movies, concerts, sightseeing, Seattle Center, dining, sports events, etc.

None of these activities were seen as unsafe or controversial for teens at the time.

Seattle was a world-class city in the last century. The WWII Generation had a modern society up and running in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

What Has Changed

Today we have homelessness, drug addiction and overdoses, frequent gunfire and concerns related to gang activity.

To be fair, The USA has taken a dive in the post 911 era.

If Kristi Noem tells us on Feb 4, 2026 that the border is secure, how are drugs still coming in?

Standard newspeople remain silent.

Blowing up suspected drug boat crews, bold PR statements from Kristi Noem, sealed borders, designating cartels as terrorist organizations, DHS guarding Super Bowls, US troops at the border, massing US Border Patrol agents at the southern edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the post 911 surveillance state (fusion centers, license scanners, Homeland Security grant money, monitoring of e-mails, text messages, & social media sites, no fly/terror watch lists, tracking of cell phones, best advances in REAL ID and AI technologies, etc.) fail to keep fentanyl from arriving in Seattle?

The Seattle drug situation appears to be no different in June of 2026 than it was under Biden. WTF?

Man sentenced to five years for drug crimes

By Olympic Peninsula News Group

July 14, 2026

“OPNET and officers with Clallam County Sheriff’s Office and Sequim Police Department recovered 196.37 grams of fentanyl and a .45 caliber Glock during their warrant search.”

 

Unlike many cities of its size, Port Angeles maintains a significant Homeland Security/CBP/Border Patrol presence.

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

Newspeople have a long history of not asking questions in this area.

New Port Angeles USBP Station opened more than a decade ago. Has the new station been able to prevent cartel drugs from entering the Olympic Peninsula?

After a Port Angeles CBP buildup that took place more than a decade ago, is there any follow up made by the press to inform the public on whatever results have been achieved?

If you run a government operation-these are the reporters you want to see on interview day:

The Fantasy Newsperson Asks

Have Port Angeles based Homeland Security/CBP units been able to create any shortage of cartel product/fentanyl in the Puget Sound area?

Has any newsperson ever asked questions on this?

When is the last time the Port Angeles Border Patrol made an arrest of any kind?

When is the last time the Port Angeles Border Patrol made an arrest linked in any way to the US/Canada border?

Has massing US Border Patrol agents at the southern edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca played any role in reducing Clallam County drug overdose numbers?

Have opioid lawsuits played any role in improving the situation?

How do cartels react to opioid lawsuits?

Are passports/enhanced/REAL IDs effective in keeping cartel drugs out of the US?

Standard driver’s licenses have not been accepted at the border since 2009.

When is the last time the Port Angeles Border Patrol made any seizure that kept any amount of fentanyl, heroin or any opioid from entering Clallam County?

Were Clallam County drug overdose death numbers higher before the US Dept. of Homeland Security was established (2002) or are the numbers higher with a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security in place? This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US. More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?

What did the founders think of a powerful, centralized federal government and militarized pageantry for public events?

The Department of Defense was established in 1949. What part of DOD history involved US troops sent to locations where the constitution was threatened?

Currently serving four-star officers and high level DOD civilians have been associated with what wars won by the US?

If the CIA (est 1947) serves as an advantage to the US, why does the Department of Defense have such a poor record of winning undeclared wars going back to 1949, the year DOD was established?

Don’t lie to people and maybe they would be more patriotic.

Look for newspeople and school teachers to ask zero questions in these areas.

The US Dept. of Defense was nowhere to be found on 911.

We haven’t won a war since.

Decades after the lessons of Vietnam, it feels like the people who run the Pentagon specialize in undeclared/unwon wars. Is it understandable that young people and their parents and grandparents would take a dim view on all this?

 

Both major parties are OK with federal prohibition of alcohol and tobacco for adults age 18-20.

No such thing the day I graduated from high school.

That was before decades of military operations for your freedoms.

 

In the 60s & 70s I never attended a Veterans Day assembly at school.

There were none.

Probably enough veterans around to remove most of the mystique, or maybe those veterans thought it was all just an average thing and did not want to be seen as a separate part of American society, or get head of the line parking spots over at the grocery store. Maybe the concept of Armistice Day had not gone completely extinct.

Growing up in the 60s & 70s- veterans were all around- church, school, Boy Scout leaders, family, the neighborhood, etc. It was all just an average thing. These folks weren’t seen as a separate part of American society.

People weren’t stepping over to say “Thanks for your service” to my Dad- who did time in the Navy in the 50s- but looked just like anyone else out in public.

These guys weren’t lining up for free dinner promotions marketed by major restaurant chains.

Decades after the lessons of Vietnam, the Pentagon seems to specialize in undeclared/unwon wars.

The US should maintain strong and ready military forces.

In some cases, the US Armed Forces provide for our security. That’s as good as it gets.

In terms of American rights and freedoms, the Dept. of Defense has no more say than the Dept. of Agriculture.

D.C.’s July 4th fireworks will have “TSA-style” security, won’t start until 11 p.m., mayor says

By Maria Sullivan, Gabriella Biello – CBS News

June 30, 2026

“…hundreds of planes will participate in a “Fourth of July Airshow,” the president said.”

“Those planning to view the fireworks show from the Washington Monument grounds should expect “TSA-style” security, with magnetometers screening guests, according to Tara McLeese, special agent in charge of the Secret Service’s Washington field office.”

“McLeese said each guest in the restricted area is allowed only one clear bag no larger than a gallon, or a small clutch purse. There will be no storage for prohibited items.”

“Attendees of the Great American State Fair at the National Mall are encouraged to remain there to watch the fireworks show, rather than attempting to enter the primary viewing zone on the Washington Monument grounds, said Scott Brecht, chief of the U.S. Park Police. Leaving one zone and moving to another will require additional security screenings, and reentry may not be possible.”

D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency Director Clint Osborn said. “I would say that if you’re going downtown and you’ve done this before, don’t assume you know what it’s going to look like.”

DHS- the folks who can’t keep fentanyl trafficking cartels from moving product into various US communities are keeping the big event safe. Way To Go Team.

Cartels continue to move product into all 50 states.

“…HIDTA-designated counties are located in 50 states…”

Blowing up suspected drug boat crews, bold PR statements from Kristi Noem, sealed borders, REAL ID mandates, designating cartels as terrorist organizations, DHS guarding Super Bowls, US troops at the border and the Seattle drug situation appears to be no different in May of 2026 than it was under Biden.

Why It Matters

Americans were told that they faced a life and death situation after 911. If certain actions were not taken, terrorists could come to America to disrupt our way of life and attempt another 911.

If all this was a life and death situation that required sending the troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, wouldn’t it be important to ask a few public policy questions about what was going on?

Newspeople have a long history of not asking questions in this area.

11 face charges in international drug trafficking ring spanning from DC to South Korea

“Pirro said the investigation into this ring began two years ago, stemming from a drug overdose death in Washington, D.C.”

Reported as a big team effort and success in May of 2026 after drug traffickers defeat all federal efforts to keep drugs out.

The Fantasy Newsperson Asks

What was happening at border crossing/port of entry inspections during this 2 year investigation?

Do the good guys who made the local busts notify the good guys at border crossings and ports of entry about the weak links in their process?

How much illegal product moved into Hometown, USA during this 2 year investigation?

How many victims were harmed by the drugs involved in this 2 year investigation?

Love to see newspeople ask:

Were federal authorities at border crossings and ports of entry notified of this ongoing investigation?

Did the drug traffickers get fast track screening at border entry points so as not to disrupt this ongoing investigation?

If the drug traffickers were given a pass at the border- would that have tipped them off as to the investigation- or would that have been seen as standard protocol?

Imagine LE authorities observe a shoplifter or bank robber in action. Instead of going in to make an arrest they back off and conduct an investigation that goes on for 2 years. What if they applied the same tactic Re: crimes involving arson, terrorism, child abuse, DUI, etc.

Has any city, county or state jurisdiction been able to cleanup their drug problem using these methods?

Did the advantage of designating cartels as terrorist organizations back on Feb 20, 2025 reduce the availability of fentanyl in the Puget Sound area?

If Kristi Noem tells us on Feb 4, 2026 that the border is secure, how are drugs still coming in?

Standard newspeople remain silent.

Has the removal of any cartel boss ever created any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?

If Kristi Noem has sealed US borders why would suspected drug trafficking boats be a problem?

Since the Vietnam-Style Drug Boat Body Count has kept cartel drugs out, are Seattle area drug addicts having any problem finding their cartel product of choice?

Has any US community announced that first responders are finding less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations?

Is there any possibility that any DEA office or DEA budget will be downsized due to the success of all US Dept. of Homeland Security/Dept. of War efforts in recent months?

The US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002. This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US.

More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?

Some version of REAL ID has been required at border crossings and ports of entry since 2009.

More drug overdose deaths now, or before REAL ID?

Has any community anywhere in the US downsized or shut down any local drug task force, or narcotics enforcement team due to the success of Dept. of War strikes on narcoterrorist drug boats, ICE crackdowns and designating cartels as terrorist organizations?

Any questions from newspeople?

 

Whatever is here, it’s been going on for decades. The fantasy newsperson still waits for answers.

Looks like the big federal War on Drugs over the past year (Blowing up boats in foreign waters, big DHS budgets, taking out the leader of Venezuela, violent ICE operations, sealed borders, and designating cartels as terrorist organizations) has not delivered results in the Puget Sound area. Zero questions from newspeople on how all this fits together.

Decades after the lessons of Vietnam, the Pentagon seems to specialize in undeclared/unwon wars.

This appears to be the case no matter what political party or personality is elected to office.

 

“I support our president, I support our troops. But I hope we’ve learned from Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan,” said GOP Rep. Jeff Van Drew, adding “I pray to God” the US isn’t drawn into a protracted war. “We can’t get involved in every country in the world. We just can’t.”
