For 10 years now, Trump and the Republican Party have placed the Fentanyl epidemic front and center within their narrative. They have demonized Mexican cartels, China, and now South American governments, as well as Latin American immigrants, blaming them entirely for the problem. Is this finger pointing valid? Is it scapegoating? Or is it something even worse, even more insidious and sinister?<\/p>\n
I find it interesting that I’ve never heard anybody question the origins nor the proprietorship of this poison called Fentanyl. Would you believe me if I told you that the same multinational corporation that presents you with your baby’s shampoo, soap, bubble bath, and baby powder is also the tip of the spear, the owner of and main beneficiary from Fentanyl. Yes folks–Johnson & Johnson!<\/p>\n
Look it up–Johnson & Johnson owns the patent to Fentanyl, and there are no alternative generic manufacturers. Only Johnson & Johnson.<\/p>\n
Now, as we all learned during the pandemic, most supply chains for pharmaceutical drugs in general are concentrated in other countries, especially China. And this is, no surprise, only and completely because corporations like Johnson & Johnson save an exorbitant amount of money on the cost of production by offshoring production where there is cheaper labor, and cheaper operating costs.<\/p>\n
Now, does anybody really think for a moment that the Chinese government takes it upon themselves to dictate the rate of production of the drug? Or that Johnson & Johnson isn’t aware of that production? And that the corporation isn’t profiting from every drop that is produced? And by extension, this US government, which benefits if nothing else at least from its taxes, and now tariffs.<\/p>\n
Or even more absurdly, that Latin American cartels and governments are extorting Johnson & Johnson for a generous steady supply of their drug, versus being gladly supplied for a handsome profit?<\/p>\n
No people. Wake up!<\/p>\n
As with most issues, the narrative is insidiously fabricated for sinister ulterior motives. In this case, something the Empire has coveted practically since its inception–Total control and domination of the whole of the Americas. The culmination of “Manifest Destiny”, as the Yanquis have called their mission.<\/p>\n
We are told that if we do not learn from history, then history will repeat itself. How true is this in this case!<\/p>\n
Before Fentanyl was a thing, this same narrative of invading a “narco-state” took place in the wake of the Cold War. Then, it was Panama and President Noriega. The real objective then was geopolitical: The Panama Canal. The narrative was the same, focusing on cocaine during the Crack epidemic. The Operation was called Just Cause, which should be properly said as Just Because. Just because they could. Just because they desired. Today, 36 years after the US invasion of Panama in 1989. Manuel Noriega continues to rot in a US federal prison, and the cocaine continues to flow into its largest market, the US, uninterrupted. And it would continue so even if the US invaded the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and, as Trump is threatening now, Colombia as well.<\/p>\n
Why, really. was 25% of the US Navy stationed within seeing distance from the shores of Venezuela just months ago? Well you have to go no farther than the toxic tongue of Nobel Peace winner Machado, who has clearly stated what she has taken upon herself to offer up to the Empire on a silver platter, on behalf of a traitor: full plunder of South Americas resources, occupation, control of a people, the rate of Mother Earth. She says 1.7 trillion is at stake: the largest oil reserve in the world, gold and copper, beachfront real estate, and a population of cheap labor and better consumers.<\/p>\n
And why did this political figure win the peace prize? The answer is threefold. First, we need to recognize that this Nobel Peace Prize was established by Zionists and Imperialists, for Zionists and Imperialists. Once we recognize this then the merits of Machados achievement are obvious. One–she is very openly and aggressively pro-Zionism, including advocating for the genocide in Gaza (her words, not mine). Second, has been the leading Venezuelan voice of dissent, advocating for the overthrow of that government, not by internal resistance or revolution, but through a US military intervention and occupation (again her words, not mine). In such a scenario, her political ambitions would no doubt be realized, and she would certainly become a major political figure in a new Banana Republic. Thirdly, and finally, in an era of LGBTQ Wokism, she has promised to overturn a culture in Venezuela in which the gayness is still taboo, and where laws protect the sanctity of 2 genders by for example banning gender-altering transformations. This is why this devil has been given a platform.<\/p>\n
Before wrapping this up, let me just say that I am vehemently against all drugs, if they are intoxicants. This was not always the case. For most of my life i dabbled in various drugs and lots of alcohol (by the way, statistically speaking, alcohol kills more people and ruins more lives than any drug, yet it’s not only acceptable and legal, but actually glorified in US culture). Now, though, I despise drugs and would love nothing more than to eliminate them. But imperial conquest is not the solution; it is the motive, but not the solution.<\/p>\n
As for what happens next, we shall see. We hear about the Yanqui buildup in the region, but nothing is said in the mainstream media about the partnerships with such nations as China and Russia, and their uninterrupted and in fact ramped up assistance. And believe me, there is no shortage of weaponry, as it can flow in from hundreds of points throughout the continent. Nor do we hear of the hundreds of thousands of troops with military and guerilla experience who have been mobilized in Venezuela, and the millions of campesinos who have been issued a call to arms and to resistance.<\/p>\n
These people, those with earth-colored skin who trace their roots to the likes of Simon Bolivar and Che Guevara, through whose veins flow centuries of struggle and resistance against Empires–The Spanish, The French, now the Yanqui–They will not kowtow to any invader. They will fight as the people of Vietnam did, in equally if not more favored terrain, and the Empire will fail. That is, if they decide to pull the trigger. Time will tell. History will recount.<\/p>\n
