I Prayed have prayed
Father, keep fentanyl off America's streets. May America and China work together to eliminate this deadly drug.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Fentanyl continues to destroy families and lives in America. Meanwhile, China has all but solved the problem within its borders. This begs the question, if China knows how to solve the fentanyl crisis, why does it continue to allow its citizens to export this dangerous drug to America?

From NTD. As the United States deals with tens of thousands of fentanyl overdoses each year, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) is pointing to China’s comparative lack of fentanyl deaths as a sign that the Chinese government knows how to address the problem domestically but enables the potent opioid to keep flowing outside its borders.

Get involved in state-level prayer with IFA.

 

The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) held a hearing on Tuesday to discuss the CCP’s apparent role in the global fentanyl trade and its deadly impacts.

Mr. Krishnamoorthi, the committee’s ranking member, presented a slide during the Tuesday hearing citing Chinese government figures that indicated China recorded zero fentanyl deaths in the year 2022. By comparison, Mr. Krishnamoorthi’s slide noted figures shared by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), indicating 76,000 fentanyl-related deaths occurred in the United States that same year. …

“It shows that they know how to prosecute drug traffickers and get rid of fentanyl, certainly for a domestic audience, but they’re perfectly okay with having it exported from China over here,” Mr. Krishnamoorthi told NTD News from the sidelines of the hearing on Tuesday.

Mr. Krishnamoorthi and committee chairman Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.) recently concluded a multi-month investigation into China’s role as a source for global fentanyl exports. Their report concludes the PRC government, through its ruling CCP, has provided numerous economic incentives to PRC-based firms producing fentanyl and other synthetic narcotics. …

“They’re not taking down websites and web postings that clearly are selling Chinese fentanyl from China. And they’re there subsidizing it through these tax rebates, which you know, just fuel the whole ecosystem,” “[Mr. Krishnamoorthi] said. “So when you have 97 percent of illicit fentanyl here coming from China, we know where we need to go to kind of stop the supply problem.”

The new House report states that Chinese authorities have thwarted past U.S. law enforcement investigations into Chinese entities suspected of engaging in illicit fentanyl manufacture. The report states multiple current and former U.S. federal agents described instances where Chinese counterparts notified targets of U.S. investigations, and they were then able to change their techniques to avoid detection. …

Has anybody heard that China wants to destroy us from the inside instead of outright war? Hello fentanyl. Please Lord have mercy on us, give our government wisdom on how to handle this out of control situation. Thank you in Yeshua’s Name.

Heavenly Father the creation and distribution of deadly Fentanyl is pure evil. Matthew 12:35 “The good man brings our of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. To intentionally manufacture, distribute, fund and market deadly drugs should be seen as attacking our nation (the people). Grant Your wisdom to defeat the spiritual darkness and the evil workings by the CCP. Unravel and expose every plot, plan and distribution of illicit drugs. Thank You for always being at work against the powers of darkness. Let the light of Christ bring forward even now, the power of prayer, the presence of Your Spirit and the victory over all. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

This seems to be a rhetorical question. This drug represents a multi billion dollar business with serious control issues

Who is offering something better

They are being paid by the global elites to ship it here to reduce our population, one of the WEF’s many nefarious published goals.

I have OFTEN wondered if the drug issues in our nation have at least some of their roots in the terrible time of the opium wars in the 1800’s. I am not a history expert, but I know that the US had had some part to play and/or received some benefit from encouraging opium use in China, so that the West could access their resources. I am not aware of any effort to address this wrong against the Chinese by the US (or anyone else??). Would a formal repentance for our role in the Opium Wars help in this fentenyl crisis?
