Max Meizlish, a senior research analyst, highlights how Chinese money laundering networks are fueling America's fentanyl epidemic by cleaning drug proceeds for Mexican cartels. These networks also enable wealthy Chinese nationals to bypass capital controls and move money out of China. Between 2020 and 2024, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) tracked over $312 billion in suspicious activity linked to these networks. Meizlish suggests the Chinese Communist Party might be aware of, or even permit, some of this activity, especially if it benefits its members. He advocates for targeting Chinese chemical precursor companies and using economic sanctions to combat this issue. 1966 Retry
Grant Newsham Japan chooses a new PM. When China Attacks is a fire bell in the night—a warning about a war that we are already losing. It offers a frightening, and well-founded, blow-by-blow account of what might happen next. China poses an existential threat to America, warns a veteran intelligence officer, and the window for an effective response is closing fast. Col. Grant Newsham, a former reserve head of intelligence for Marine Forces Pacific, delivers a blow-by-blow account of how the threat has developed, from the growing skill and belligerence of the Chinese military to gray-zone campaigns to hollow out America's will to resist. These efforts that have now reached fruition. You can see the war damage in Baltimore, Erie, Buffalo, and countless other communities across the United States. With decades of experience in Asia, including as a U.S. Marine, a diplomat, and an executive with Morgan Stanley and Motorola in Japan, Col. Newsham brings together the military, political, economic and social to provide insights into how far along we already are, and what needs to be done. Now. The question is not whether the Chinese will attack. They already have. It is trying to kill our economy, our institutions, our way of life, our people. It is dominant in the world economy. It is a master of intellectual property theft. It shows strategic genius at cornering essential markets. It has been staggeringly successful in buying influence among American elites. It is killing us with Fentanyl. And its military buildup is astonishing. So far, China has been waging a mostly covert war on the United States and its allies. But, emboldened by American weakness and perceived decline, the war could soon explode into the open. The flashpoint will be Taiwan—but the war will extend over the entire Pacific Theater and beyond. The results—as Col. Newsham paints in stark detail—will be devastating. America risks a humiliating retreat, with almost unimaginable costs to our economy and security. Will America fight back before the cold war that Communist China is waging against America and its allies goes hot? The conflict is coming. We're not ready. China is already attacking America. Is American defeat inevitable? No, but we must change course immediately. And to do that, we must wake up and heed the sobering message of When China Attacks. 1946 ROYAL AIR FORCE

When a company's values don't match its actions, the impact can be devastating. Kim and Amy speak with investigative journalist Gardiner Harris about his book, No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson. Harris uncovers how a company once seen as the gold standard of integrity used its famous “Credo” to build emotional trust while covering up harmful practices—from baby powder linked to cancer to its role in the opioid crisis. The conversation goes beyond one company, raising bigger questions about accountability, transparency, and the systems meant to keep us safe. It's a candid look at how misplaced trust can cause lasting damage—and what it really takes to create a culture where honesty and responsibility come first.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:When Ed and Mary Ternan finally met the police officer who had been on scene at their son's overdose death, he had an off-the-record theory: "This is not official, and you'll have to wait for toxicology to come back, but this is going to be fentanyl," the officer told them.News about the synthetic opioid is inescapable today, but in 2020, the couple had never heard of it. Charlie was a popular, successful student with no substance use issues. How could this have happened?As it turned out, Charlie was Santa Clara County's seventh fentanyl death in only 10 days. Suffering occasional pain from back surgery a year earlier, Charlie had taken a single counterfeit pill purchased from a dealer ("plug") on Snapchat.Incredibly, it took less than two months for Ed and Mary Ternan to found a nonprofit dedicated to awareness and education about the skyrocketing deaths from accidental fentanyl overdose. In this episode, we trace the lessons we can learn from Charlie's story, the storm of circumstances that has placed young people in such danger, and how to reach both kids and parents in specific ways.EPISODE RESOURCES:Song For Charlie websiteBandcamp page for Song For Charlie (download the song here)This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Hi Friend, Thanks for downloading this episode, my name is Arlina and I'll be your host. To contribute to recovery awareness, I am going to be publishing a series of weekly mini episodes for those who are thinking about getting sober or those who need a little bit of a sobriety reset. In fact, that's what I'm going to call it: Sobriety Reset. They will be short episodes focusing on the basics of sobriety. Everything from how to prepare for your first week sober, how to talk to family andamp; friends about it, and what to do when you feel overwhelmed by cravings. This idea is to present the mindset, tools, and practices that will help you reach 100 days and make sobriety stick! I'll post these to Youtube as well, so be sure to subscribe andamp; share with a friend! In this conversation, I'm speaking with Dr. Jason Giles, author of Outsmart Your Addiction. Dr Giles shares his powerful journey from fentanyl addiction to 25 years of recovery as a physician. What really struck me about his story is that you can be very smart, extremely ambitious, successful by all accounts, and still be vulnerable to addiction. He opens up about battling imposter syndrome, the belief that life without substances meant “the fun was over,” and the turning points that led him to seek help. Dr. Giles reflects on the role of spiritual awakening, the importance of asking for help, and the lessons he's learned about recovery, neuroscience, and resilience. The discussion highlights how shifting our internal narrative can be the key to lasting change and why he remains hopeful about the future of recovery. So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think! Contact Dr Giles: Book: Learn the Powerful System Developed by a Doctor to Conquer his own Fentanyl Habit
Fentanyl trafficking sentences in BC just got a major overhaul. The BC Court of Appeal has mapped out clearer sentencing guidelines, creating a three-tier system that reflects the devastating impact of the deadly opioid crisis. Street-level dealers now face 18 months to 3 years, mid-level traffickers 4-7 years, and wholesale distributors 8-15 years behind bars. The Court emphasized this framework still allows judges to tailor sentences to individual circumstances, but makes clear that the gravity of fentanyl trafficking demands serious consequences. With over 14,500 British Columbians having lost their lives to toxic drugs in just eight years, the justice system is responding with a structured approach to punishment.At Simon Fraser University, academic freedom and freedom of association collided when faculty members challenged their own Faculty Association's resolutions on Gaza. The controversial statements narrowly passed but sparked a legal battle under the Societies Act. The case highlights a fascinating tension - what happens when you're required to belong to an organization that takes political positions you fundamentally oppose? The court ultimately allowed the Faculty Association broad latitude in its activities, continuing a precedent that permits professional associations to venture beyond their core employment-related purposes. This ruling affects anyone in Canada who must maintain membership in unions or professional organizations.We wrap up with a constructive dismissal case that seems straight out of a comedy sketch - except it was all too real for the employee involved. A 63-year-old comptroller was given notice of termination but required to keep working for eight months while being gradually replaced by someone actually named "Mr. Bean." Adding insult to injury, the employee was relocated to an interior office without air conditioning (at an air conditioning company!). The court recognized these cumulative actions created an intolerable work environment, awarding 15 months' severance and confirming employers cannot circumvent termination obligations by making work conditions unbearable.Have questions about how these legal developments might affect you? We'd love to hear your thoughts on these fascinating intersections of law and everyday life.

Fentanyl addiction has surged in Mexican border cities like Tijuana and Ciudad Juárez, fueled by the spillover from the U.S. opioid crisis and the mass production of illicit fentanyl by cartels. Authorities warn that fentanyl has become an “emerging drug” in northern Mexico, often mixed with other substances such as heroin and cocaine, making overdoses increasingly lethal. Overdose mortality is being driven up by polysubstance use and insufficient testing infrastructure to accurately assess the problem. At the same time, requests for addiction treatment in Mexico have soared by nearly 500% over the past three years, highlighting the strain on an already under-resourced public health systemMuch of the fentanyl reaching these border cities is channeled southward as cartels establish local markets amid U.S. demand. Mexican cartels rely on precursor chemicals from China to manufacture fentanyl domestically—then smuggle it across the border, often using U.S. citizens as couriers through ports of entry or vehicles. Despite their role in producing and exporting fentanyl, Mexico faces a paradoxical shortage of medical-grade fentanyl, leading to dangerous improvisation in hospitals and even fatal meningitis outbreaks. Harm reduction efforts are hampered by the government's restriction of life-saving tools like naloxone, leaving border communities vulnerable to both rising addiction and inadequate treatment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Elections Mexico 2021: Human experiments in Tijuana and Mexicali: How cartels are testing fentanyl on drug addicts | International | EL PAÍS English (elpais.com)
Summary of the Synthetic Drug Trade from Mexico to America:Methamphetamine Production: Mexico became a major source of methamphetamine production due to the availability of precursor chemicals, weak law enforcement in certain regions, and the presence of powerful drug cartels. Meth labs operated in various regions of Mexico, producing large quantities of the drug destined for the U.S. market.Fentanyl Trafficking: Another major aspect of the synthetic drug trade was the trafficking of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid. Mexican drug cartels capitalized on the demand for opioids in the United States and began manufacturing and smuggling fentanyl across the border.Smuggling Routes: Mexican drug cartels have sophisticated smuggling operations that use a variety of routes to transport drugs into the United States. These routes include clandestine tunnels, hidden compartments in vehicles, commercial shipments, and even drones.Distribution Networks: Once the drugs cross the border, they are distributed throughout the United States using well-established distribution networks operated by cartel associates or street gangs. These networks reach into various cities and towns, making the drugs easily accessible to users.Violence and Corruption: The synthetic drug trade is associated with high levels of violence and corruption in Mexico. Drug cartels fiercely compete for control of lucrative drug trafficking routes, leading to territorial disputes and violent confrontations.Ongoing Challenges: Law enforcement agencies in both Mexico and the United States have been working together to combat the synthetic drug trade. However, the constantly evolving nature of the trade and the vast profits involved present ongoing challenges in curbing the flow of these drugs.In this episode we see how Synthetic drugs, namely Fentanyl, has changed the narcotics game and how the cartels are adjusting their business practices to reflect this. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Subscribe to read | Financial Times (ft.com)

Send us a textOn this episode, we're confronting a crisis that has become a defining tragedy of our time: the fentanyl epidemic. While this deadly synthetic opioid is claiming lives across the entire country, its impact has been especially devastating right here in our own backyard, the Bay Area. From the streets of San Francisco to the suburbs of the East Bay, this powerful and often secretly-laced drug is tearing families apart and overwhelming communities. It's a crisis that has evolved rapidly, driven by cheap, illicitly manufactured fentanyl that is up to 100 times more potent than morphine. In this episode, we'll explore this further and how the Bay Area became an epicenter for this public health emergency and what's being done to fight back.

A woman overdosed after she was given six times the prescribed dose of a fentanyl patch by her pharmacy. National Crime Correspondent Sam Sherwood spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Tara and Lee discuss what they believe is an impending "act of war" against drug cartels and Venezuela, referencing a leaked UK Daily Mail report about the Trump administration moving military assets into the region. They argue that the nearly half a million American deaths from fentanyl in recent years constitute a form of warfare waged by China and the cartels. They also point to a statement by China during trade negotiations, where they offered to stop sending fentanyl to the U.S., as proof of their involvement. The hosts explore the nexus between Democrats and cartels, citing calls from Los Angeles politicians for gangsters to fight against immigration enforcement. They highlight the danger of this alliance by comparing it to the violence of Mexican politics, where "election season is killing season." The episode concludes with a discussion of Mexico's behind-the-scenes cooperation with the U.S. and the possibility of a military strike on Venezuela as a way to combat the largest cartel involved in fentanyl trafficking.
The hosts discuss what they see as a multi-front "war" on the United States. They begin with the fentanyl crisis, which they label an "act of war" by China and drug cartels, and point to U.S. military assets moving off the coasts of Venezuela and Mexico as preparation for a strike. The episode then pivots to recent archaeological discoveries, which the hosts claim reveal that mainstream science and institutions like the Smithsonian have lied about human evolution by omitting the history of interbreeding between modern humans and Neanderthals. The conversation continues with legal and political developments, including a celebration of a federal court ruling that vacated a major fine against Donald Trump. The hosts describe this as a major victory against the Democrats' "lawfare." Finally, they turn to the Cracker Barrel logo change, arguing that the company's "woke" CEO is erasing men and Southern culture, a move that is a part of "cancel culture." The hosts note that the stock has plunged, and they argue that the brand's identity and history are being destroyed

Grieving Out Loud: A Mother Coping with Loss in the Opioid Epidemic
New York City is home to more than twice the population of any other U.S. city, so when a story makes headlines there, it usually means it's something big.

Request an invitation to the Veterinary Dental Practitioner Program! -------------------------------- Host: Dr. Brett Beckman, Board Certified Veterinary Dentist In this episode of the Vet Dental Show, Annie Mills, LVT VTS (Dentistry), addresses common questions about electrosurgery for gingival hyperplasia, post-extraction protocols, and pain management, providing practical insights for veterinary professionals. What You'll Learn ✅ The dangers of using electrosurgery for gingival hyperplasia and why a scalpel is preferred. ✅ Proper charging protocols for post-extraction X-rays and regional blocks. ✅ The importance of blood clots in post-extraction sites and when to use hemostatic agents. ✅ Effective pain management strategies, including CRI protocols and take-home medications when NSAIDs are contraindicated. ✅ The limited benefits of fluoride treatments in veterinary dentistry. Key Takeaways ✅ Electrosurgery can cause significant tissue and bone damage due to heat, making a scalpel a safer option for gingival excisions. ✅ Always charge for each post-extraction X-ray and each quadrant receiving a regional block to ensure proper compensation for your services. ✅ A blood clot is the best bone graft for post-extraction sites; avoid routine use of hemostatic agents unless emergent bleeding occurs. ✅ Manage wind-up pain effectively with CRIs of buprenorphine and lidocaine (cats) or hydromorphone, lidocaine, and ketamine (dogs), along with appropriate loading doses. ✅ When NSAIDs are contraindicated, fentanyl and gabapentin can be a powerful combination for pain management. ---------------------------------- Don't miss out on the opportunity to become a leader in veterinary dentistry!

Johnna was a fearless and capable child, but a learning disability diagnosis seemed to mark the beginning of her struggles. Her mother, Kelli, believes this led to self-esteem issues, which were worsened by incidents like being bullied in school and the loss of loved ones. These painful experiences contributed to a lifelong dependence on drugs—an addiction Johnna fiercely protected. As a nurse, Kelli used all of her resources to help. She consistently arranged for counselors and rehab centers and was always there for her daughter in a crisis. Despite her tireless efforts, Kelli's worst fear was realized in July 2024 when police arrived at her door with the news that Johnna had died at the age of 25. To cope with her grief, Kelli finds solace in listening to podcasts about loss, reading books like A Space in the Heart by Larry Carlat, and leaning on her strong relationships with family and friends.
