As a citizen of this nation can you explain to me how our government can allow an army of drug lords to control our southern border? How can the leaders of this nation allow our people be subject biochemical warfare? Only two milligrams of Fentanyl can kill an adult. It is the number one killer of adults between eighteen and forty-five. It takes less than a milligram to kill a child. The Border Patrol has seized over 10,600 pounds, which is enough fentanyl to kill ever American seven times over. In Michigan there was 218 pounds seized in 2021. Fentanyl overdoses surpass car accidents, violent crimes and suicides. It is estimated only 10% of the poison gets seized in this nation each year.
Years ago, when I worked the ICUs, I can remember when fentanyl first came into use in the ICU’s. It was a miracle drug for patients who were in severe pain when nothing else would work. However, because of its opioid effects on the brain, it became a drug to be abused. Why is it so dangerous? Fentanyl overdose stops breathing, leaving the victim hypoxic, which leads to acidosis, which leads to coma, which leads to permanent brain damage and death. Naloxone (Narcan), if given as soon as possible, can block the drug’s effect on the central nervous system. Most of the time, the drug user is taking the drug where no medical help can be reached.
Fentanyl is sold illegally as a powder, dropped onto blotter paper, put in eye droppers, nasal sprays and pills that look like prescription opioids. Here is a fact worth noting. The drug cartels no longer have to wait for their China shipment. Fentanyl being a synthetic opioid made in a lab, the cartels can produce it themselves. There are now 90,000 online drug dealers with menus for children. They even have home delivery available.
Make no mistake; fentanyl is a poison with the intention to kill our young people of this nation. The Mexican cartel are enemies to our children. They have a master plan to sell as much poison as possible. It is estimated that seven million pills are made in one lab each month. There must be laws passed to control child access to social media. Cartels are very smart in grooming kids. Kids have knowledge, but they do not have the wisdom to control their actions. One brother comes into the other brother’s bedroom and says to him… “Hey I got a couple of pills from a friend today at school. How about taking them to see what happens?” Can you imagine what may happen to these brothers. It is happening every day in America.
I do not have to tell you these facts. I am sure you have seen these facts over and over by now. However, here is my question. If we as a nation are facing such a massive fentanyl epidemic, where is the outrage to stop it? I will tell you where the outrage lies. It lies with the mother and father, husband and wife who have lost a child, teenager, young adult or life partner. What would you say to them when death comes so easily from across the border?
Our leaders of this nation, both democratic and republican, have failed to protect the people of this nation by allowing our southern border to be open. Our leaders continue to allow the Mexican cartels the historic opportunity to kill Americans with illicit drugs. However, our leaders and the cartel cannot be accountable for all the blame. Someone must have made the decision to swallow or inject the drug into their body. So, there must be a sickness in our society that would cause enough pain for someone to risk their life.
We can secure the southern border, if our leaders wanted too, but would the demand in this country for opioid drugs be any less? It seems we should put some time considering why there is such a deficiency in the heart and soul of mankind for a righteous and moral life. All we have to do is look around us to see this nation is in serious trouble.
