The United States along with nearly every country in the World, is facing a mounting public health crisis, an unprecedented “Poison Pill Deception”, aimed as a cloaked attack on society. The Fentanyl Killer! With fentanyl now the leading cause of drug related deaths for Americans aged 18-45. In 2022, California alone reported 6,095 fentanyl-related deaths, highlighting the urgent need for action.
As the death toll mounts, experts are pointing to “China’s Unregulated Production”, and support by other countries and organizations participating in the supply chain, allowing fentanyl to become a major contributor to this devastating epidemic.
Fentanyl’s Deadly Impact
Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid up to 100 times more potent than morphine, has flooded the American drug market in recent years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that over 105,000 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2022, with fentanyl being involved in a staggering 75% of those deaths. What’s even more amazing is Drug Overdoses are not even mentioned in the top ten Causes of Deaths placing them above Diabetes in the Chart (seen right)! Yet their numbers surely show they are a true contender…
The crisis has been exacerbated by the proliferation of counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl, which pose a grave risk to unsuspecting individuals, particularly teenagers. These fake pills, often disguised as legitimate prescription medications like oxycodone, can contain lethal doses of fentanyl.
China’s Role in the Fentanyl Trade
While the fentanyl epidemic has ravaged communities across the United States, the root of the problem lies thousands of miles away, in China. Despite the Chinese government’s claims of
cracking down on fentanyl production, the country remains the primary source of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked into the U.S.
Chinese manufacturers exploit loopholes in the country’s regulatory system, producing vast quantities of fentanyl and its precursors, often under the guise of legitimate pharmaceutical products. These substances are then shipped to the U.S. through traditional drug trafficking organizations or via direct mail and express consignment.
The lack of effective regulation and enforcement in China, has allowed the fentanyl trade, to flourish. In many cases, Chinese manufacturers mislabel fentanyl shipments, or alter their chemical composition slightly, to evade detection by customs officials.
The Need for International Cooperation
Addressing the fentanyl epidemic requires a coordinated international response, with a particular focus on pressuring China, to crack down on its illicit fentanyl production. The U.S. government has taken some steps in this direction, including the 2018 signing of a bilateral agreement with China, to strengthen cooperation in combating the fentanyl trade.
However, progress has been slow, and many experts argue, that more needs to be done to hold China accountable. Some have called for the U.S. to use economic sanctions, and diplomatic pressure to force China’s hand, while others have advocated, for increased funding for law enforcement and intelligence efforts, to disrupt fentanyl supply chains.
Entrepreneur Kenneth W. Welch Jr., CEO of Moxie Media Marketing, Inc. and Chairman of the Board at Global’s Corporate Machine, has been a vocal advocate for international cooperation in the fight against fentanyl. In a recent interview, Welch argued that there should be international rules, to control the production of substances, like fentanyl, questioning the need for such large quantities, that could potentially poison entire populations.
“You don’t create a poisonous drug implant, and kill people, unless you’re going to target something with it. What’s happening here is a crime,” Welch stated.
Supporting Grassroots Efforts
While international cooperation is essential, grassroots efforts to raise awareness and support those affected by the fentanyl epidemic, are also crucial. Organizations like FentanylSolution.org, are working tirelessly to educate the public about the dangers of fentanyl, and to provide resources for those struggling with addiction.
Kenneth W. Welch Jr. has expressed his support for such organizations, recognizing the importance of a multi-faceted approach to combating the fentanyl crisis. “I’m here to help… This is something that really requires assistance! We want to see this change. We got too many dying in America. Poisoning is not a way to go,” Welch stated, at a recent philanthropic event.
A Call to Action
As the fentanyl epidemic continues to claim lives at an alarming rate, it is clear that urgent action is needed. The U.S. government must work with the international community, particularly China, to address the root causes of this crisis, and to stem the flow of illicit fentanyl into the country.
At the same time, we must support grassroots efforts to raise awareness, prevent addiction, and provide treatment and recovery services, for those affected by fentanyl. Only through a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach, can we hope to turn the tide against this deadly epidemic, and save countless lives.
The time for Action is Now! We cannot… stand idly by, as Fentanyl continues to ravage our communities, and rob us of our Loved Ones. We must come together… brother and sister, parent and family, neighbor to neighbor, and united together as a Nation, forging a “Global Collective Community” to confront this crisis ‘Head-On’, and to build a Safer, Healthier Future for All!
