“If we don’t get tough on the drug dealers, we are wasting our time. And that toughness includes the death penalty.”-President Donald Trump, Manchester, New Hampshire
“What makes construction so vulnerable to this epidemic is the physical nature of the work. Injury rates are 77% higher in construction than other occupations, and the financial incentive to get back to work before their bodies are healed is leading many down a path that can ultimately lead to abuse and even death.”-Jill Manzo, Midwest Economic Policy Institute

meth and
marijuana.
Idaho: NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard), once again snobby residents of
Pocatello are shitting themselves over a proposed (and much needed) drug rehab center. This isn’t the first time. As usual the reasons given against a drug rehab center are property values and public safety. Local news media reported that the nearest drug rehab is a several hours drive, on the west side of the state in Boise. Speaking of drug crimes and Pocatello, over a three days period Pocatello cops arrested several people for possession of
meth, heroine and
prescription painkillers (that weren’t prescribed to the individual).
The arrests were the result of police responding to ‘disturbances’, traffic hazards and even a car crash. Also, a passenger in a car was arrested as a result of a warrant, Pocatello police say when they went through his backpack they found
meth, heroin and a scale. Still in Pocatello, a man pled
guilty to distributing opioids which resulted in death, he’ll be sentenced in July, and for those snobberies in Pocatello rallying against a drug rehab center the federal judge handling the case stated
“Our nation is in the midst of an opioid epidemic and Idaho is not immune from it.” In the city of
Idaho Falls, three homes targeted for drug busts, eight people arrested along with their stash of
30 pounds of ganja, guns, cars, and
$47-thousand USD in cash (of course law enforcers get to keep assets for resale, but not for long, see below). Staying in Idaho Falls, a missing iPhone resulted in a
marijuana bust, police say the owner of the iPhone was able to track it to a home and when police entered they found two adults allegedly with more than a pound (more than half a kilo) of ganja. Also, a man wanted on six warrants was captured after a high-speed chase,
one of the charges is possession of drug ‘paraphernalia’. In another case, police say a suspect
was on drugs when he charged and pepper sprayed a cop before being shot. Still in Idaho Falls, to show you how addicted Idahoans are to prescription opioids, local news media freaked out about a national shortage of the doctor issued killer and went running to
Eastern Idaho Medical Center to find out if there was any opioids available, an official explained
“There is a nationwide shortage of injectable opioid medication…….The pills are available but the IV form is not.” (to find out why there’s a shortage of injectable opioids read
MARIA: MOTHER EARTH SAYS ‘NO MORE DRUGS FOR YOU, HUMANS!’) An alleged drug smuggler couldn’t handle the snowy roads in
Fremont County, and crashed his car. Sheriff’s deputies found
more than ten pounds of marijuana and
methamphetamine in the car. Idaho hiding execution data as University of Idaho professor
is suing the state Department of Correction for refusing to make public (by law) its use of execution drugs. An Idaho judge ruled that
murder suspects can be forced to take drugs against their will in an apparent attempt to avoid the suspects claiming they’re mentally unstable, after another judge previously ruled the suspect mentally incompetent. The state Supreme Court threw out the conviction of a woman accused of possession of meth,
because it was revealed the prosecutors never proved the ‘substance’ found with the woman was indeed meth! Boise police say a man they
arrested for being a ‘peeping tom’ also had
meth. Some state lawmakers
want to ease up on Idaho’s tough illegal drug laws.

Indiana: Midwest Economic Policy Institutes says 83 Indiana construction workers died from opioid overdoses in 2015! Zombies are for real, and they’re being created with KD (marijuana, tobacco, or spice sprayed with insecticide): “Their movements are slow and lethargic, a lot of drooling and a loss of function. We find them with their clothes off, eating the grass, pulling dirt out of the ground and trying to put it in their mouth…. We find people passed out with it still in their hand. That is how fast it has an effect on them…… for some reason they are willing to do because we get the same people using over and over again…..We send them off to the hospital to get checked out and within two hours they may be back out there on the street doing it again. We have had the same person multiple times in one day.”-Captain Chris Major, Indianapolis Fire Department
Iowa: Midwest Economic Policy Institutes says 32 Iowa construction workers died from opioid overdoses in 2015!

So in January of 2017 I started mapping everything that happened throughout the year in Hennepin County and as I did it, I started seeing patterns and trends in certain areas that got the attention of a lot of our partners.”
Mississippi: Former Hattiesburg police officer sentenced to 5 years in federal prison for drugs. A man with a criminal history was arrested for drug dealing after a massive investigation by multiple federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. Local news media speculated that more arrests were pending due to the fact that just about every federal law enforcement agency, including Postal Inspectors, are involved in the investigation. The Lumberton Police Chief suspended with pay after video was posted showing him supposedly smoking marijuana.
Missouri: Talk about deadly police incompetence resulting in a drug bust; three cops were responding to a 9-1-1 call, but were sent to the wrong address which turned out to be a meth house, one cop was killed, two wounded as a result. Was the 9-1-1 dispatcher on drugs?
Montana: State crime lab chemist charged with stealing meth! He was turned in by his brother-in-law, prosecutors used the suspect’s Fitbit to prove he was using meth.

In Groveton, a woman is facing drug dealing charges after her alleged buyer ODed and died right in the suspected dealer’s home. A now fired Manchester undercover police detective created a backlash as many drug crimes convictions/cases are now being reviewed and even dropped. The undercover cop was involved in heroin/fentanyl investigations and now many of the cases he worked on are under suspicion. The only public info about his firing is that he was fired for “misconduct”. So far 35 pending cases have been dropped and 34 convictions are under review. Perhaps the cop’s misconduct is that he was setting innocent people up for drug crimes.
New Jersey: 31 charged in drug ring in 2 states, foreign country. In the past four years a pro-medical marijuana user has questioned law enforcers from at least 70 departments about the state medical marijuana law and found the majority of cops don’t even know about the law.

According to the U.S. Attorney the state cop “…used his position as a law enforcement officer to provide…information, intervene in criminal cases…..provide…..ballistic vests and….alibi….” to protect drug dealers. In mid-March a major fentanyl bust went down: “The fentanyl seized last night is enough to kill everyone in Toledo several times over.”-Justin Herdman, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio

Reading police busted a drug gang that had racked up an estimated $20-million USD in drug sales in the past year. Police had the gang under surveillance, but made their bust after overhearing plans by the gang leader to intentionally kill people. 15 gang bangers arrested: “They were getting ready, they were starting to roll and we stopped them before they got really moving. They had no thought, no qualms about committing murder or killing someone that was in their way.”-Reading Police Chief Andres Dominguez

In Seguin, city police and the U.S. DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) busted 16 people for selling drugs, the city police chief said the drug-gang was providing “…large financial support for prison gangs, so the likelihood that they are related to the Mexican Mafia and/or other prison gangs is very strong.” The American Enterprise Institute estimates that the opioid crisis is costing Texas taxpayers $706 USD per person! A man videoed a Central Texas Adult Day Care bus driver smoking meth while driving the bus: “I was pissed, so I called the Round Rock police…!”
Utah: When police went to a restaurant, in Price, to eat they discovered something else was on the menu; they observed people known to them as drug dealers working outside the establishment. In fact, it became clear that a drug deal was going down right in front of the cops-on-break. One man was arrested in possession of heroin and meth, another man arrested in possession of meth. But wait, there’s more! The cops were suspicious that this was the tip of the iceberg and search warrants for multi-counties were obtained and resulted in the capture of more drugs and the arrests of two more people. In Saint George, a mom breastfed her baby after she took heroin, the baby stopped breathing, the baby was hospitalized, the arrested mom kept her stash in the baby’s diaper bag. It turns out that the biggest drug trafficking bust in Utah’s history (so far), back in 2016, was the result of a gang out of British empire controlled Canada (THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND IS A DRUG DEALER, U.K. BANK REGULATOR SAYS SO!).

In fact, after a year on opioids patients reported an increase in pain!
West Virginia: After a two year multi-state investigation police searched more than a dozen properties, seizing 12.5 kilos of cocaine, 11 illegal guns, more than $100,000 in cash, and nine suspects indicted; five of them Mexican citizens, two citizens of El Salvador.
