So I know for a fact there are cartels or groups of people in the United States organizing, shipping things to the United States that have fentanyl in them, and they're selling fentanyl-loaded substances into the U.S.
without any sort of cartel or Mexican involvement.
That is also happening in the U.S.
And the precursors for this stuff all come from China, correct?
They all come from China.
And this is my observation, I guess.
When COVID hit, these precursors started getting really rare for some of these organizations, specifically the senior law cartel was actually...
getting their fentanyl in the U.S.
from some of the last shipments that they were receiving in the ports in the U.S.
kept the ports open for a bit longer.
So you had cases of people, cartel members getting caught with fentanyl smuggling into Mexico.
Because they didn't get their regular supply from China, from the regular ports.
And that's what they were utilizing to infuse the drugs that they would send over to the U.S.
But the one that didn't have any of those issues was the New Generation cartel.
Because they own a lot of the ports on both sides of the country.
And also they've always had, I don't know, this...
I don't want to say that the People's Republic of China purposely has been sending fentanyl or has been turning a blind eye to all this phenomenon as a way to fuck with the U.S.
It's probably the case, though.
