CONLEY COMMENTARY (WSAU) – Why does China send drugs and the ingredients to make drugs into the United States? Because they know their own history.
In the late 1800s China was an occupied country. The weakened Qing Dynasty invited foreign powers into the country to prop themselves up. Other nations paid for the occupation by cultivating drugs in the country, and turning the China into a nation of drug dealers and drug users. The Boxer Rebellion of 1900 kicked the foreigners out.
So when China sends drugs to the U.S, they’re only doing what the white nations did to them 125 years ago.
What the public learned yesterday is that large Mexican drug cartels are customers of several Chinese chemical companies. They simply order the raw materials to make meth and fentanyl. 1,300 barrels of drug-making chemicals were seized and off-loaded in Houston yesterday. The drugs that could have been made with them would have a street value of $560-million.
I suspect this is business as usual. That right now there are likely other ships sailing with chemicals from China used to make drugs. The only thing that’s new is this time, something was done about it.
There is another part of this story. China and Mexico are both trading partners of the United States. The cure for this problem is tariffs. China might not be such a drug exporter if they can’t sell their iPhones and flat screen TVs in the United States. But, as you may have heard last Friday, a federal appeals court hijacked Donald Trump’s powers over foreign policy. They ruled that Trump has misused his powers to declare a trade emergency. Until the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes, more tariffs are off the table.
So… to those unaccountable clowns in black robes… explain to the rest of us how alowing 420,000 pounds of meth onto the streets of the US isn’t an emergency. At some point the abuse of your court bench becomes a danger to the rest of us.
