In the Corporate Media rush to pretend George W(orst) Ever wasn't a complete fuck-up chickenhawk noob and instead you could tell by his Flight Suit crotch was actually made of Presidential Timber who Kept Us Safe was the memory-holing of the Amerithrax attacks; which were quickly wrapped up as W(orst) was leaving office and conveniently blamed on a long-since dead biologist.
Well, rightwing domestic terrorrists are back to using the USPS as a vector for their terrorism again. White Republican Domestic Terrorists are mailing Letters laced with Fentanyl to Election Offices Nationwide.
The Threat to the United States from conservative extremists has grown and grown in the post World War 2 Era; 50 years of non-stop rightwing agitprop, 40 years of Ronnie Raygun blaming the government for all of white mens' woes, 25 years of Faux News Slander and Lies, 15 years of white hot rage at President Barack Obama, and 8 years of Dotard Traitor Trump fascist claptrap have brought us to now, an era when Republicans don't believe in the concept of the United States and consider voting by The Other to be a criminal act in and of itself; as a consequence Republicans have jettisoned the Democratic Republic and seek to replace it with an Authoritarian built upon the pillars of white power and Christian oppression.
Letters containing fentanyl and other powders sent to election offices across the United States in early November temporarily disrupted ballot counting in several offices, highlighting the potential for threat actors to use this tactic to disrupt US election processes. This is consistent with previous attempts to send letters with suspicious substances to election-related offices and other government buildings during past elections with the intent to intimidate workers or disrupt procedures. Prior to the November incidents, the most recent case occurred during the August 2023 Washington state primary election, in which an election office received letters containing trace amounts of fentanyl.
Suspicious letters containing white powder were mailed in early November to election offices in California, Georgia, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington state. At least four of the letters tested positive for fentanyl in preliminary tests and at least one of the letters contained baking soda, according to open-source reporting and the US Postal Inspection Service. The sender or senders and their motives are unknown and investigations are ongoing.
The "sender and motives are unknown" Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure. Now, whom do we know that is obsessed with "Election Integrity" and absolutely convinced the 2020 Election he lost was "Rigged"? Who, I ask you, made a "perfect phone call" to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger asking him that "all he wants is for him to find 11,780 votes" to win the state's electoral college votes.
Republicans absolutely know that Traitor Trump won Georgia, but it was stolen from him; along with Nevada and Oregon. Remember going up to the election conservatives were predicting a Landslide Trump victory and even now in 2023 a vast majority conservatives still believe Trump won in 2020.
California is added in because as we saw in the recent Newsom/DeSantis "debate" conservatives claim California is a hellhole instead of the economic powerhouse and place everyone wants to live in.
The Pierce County auditor’s office in Tacoma, Washington, released images of the letter it received, showing it had been postmarked in Portland, Oregon, and read in part, “End elections now.”
Now, with the Corporate Media running with daily Fentanyl scare stories, you'd think this would be a bigger story but when you understand the media in this country is owned by the obscenely rich who want and yearn to have Trump back in power to crush labor and conduct a little authoritarian "grass mowing" the lack of nightly coverage makes sense.
The only thing Republicans want to talk about with Fentanyl is how the Biden Administration is seizing too much of it and how it's "illegals" bringing it in when in reality the Fentanyl is being readily shipped her by the monstrous thinly regulated Pharmaceutical companies and hidden in plain sight drug smugglers;
The head of a police union in the San Francisco Bay Area faces federal charges for allegedly smuggling thousands of synthetic opioids into the U.S. from multiple countries with the intent to distribute them.
San Jose Police Officers Association Executive Director Joanne Marian Segovia, 64, has been charged with attempt to unlawfully import a controlled substance -- specifically valeryl fentanyl, a fentanyl analog -- according to a complaint filed in federal court earlier this week.
Between 2015 and 2023, Segovia received 61 shipments that were labeled "Wedding Party Favors," "Shirts Tops," "Gift Makeup," "Chocolate and Sweets," "Food Supplement," "Health Product" and "Supplement," originating from countries including Hong Kong, Hungary, India and Singapore, according to the complaint. In reality, they were illicit drugs, prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California allege.
Of course, white people have always enjoyed the assumption of being innocent while Blacks and Hispanics have always been targeted as guilty of something and a priori criminals by nature. So as people smuggle fentanyl through ports of entry the people working in the area know there is no shortage of regular people, perhaps struggling financially or with addiction themselves, who are willing to drive a car load through the border.
"They're looking for somebody we're not going to pay a lot of attention to," says Michael Humphries, the port director in Nogales, Arizona, "They target certain people and they offer money to drive through," says Humphries, who spent decades with U.S. Customs and Border Protection trying to catch smugglers at official ports of entry. "I've been at this for over 36 years, and it's been like that forever."
But, don't expect Faux News or the vile House Republicans to stop fear-mongering Fentanyl, rightwing media propagandists figured out 60 years ago screaming about Crime! Crime! Crime! was a winning strategy, facts don't matter. And when Republicans speak about Crime what they mean is Black and Hispanics,
"Holds back a jungle"... It's not that modern Republicans are more racist than in the past it's that the Corporate Media has been more than willing to ignore the vile racist and outright fascist crap Republicans have been spewing for decades. And they still do it now as Trump's Vermin speech and his call to round-up various groups of people is still getting less coverage than HRC correctly calling Trump Supporters "deplorable". There are a large cohort of Americans who want Trump back in power, the Plutocrats want it for the elimination of regulations and taxes, but the truly violent Republicans want it for the elimination of millions of Americans.Again, I commend you for manning the thin blue line that holds back a jungle which threatens to reclaim this clearing we call civilization. - Chickenhawk Ronnie Raygun speaking to International Association of Chiefs of Police, NOLA., 09/28/1981
