Feds intercept 1,300 barrels of meth precursor chemicals shipped from China to Mexico
Story by Stephen Sorace • 16h

Federal officials made a high-seas interception of hundreds of thousands of pounds of two different precursor chemicals that are used to make methamphetamine – a shipment they say came from China and was destined for the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico.

Jeanine Pirro, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, announced what officials called the largest ever bust of precursor chemicals being shipped to a foreign terrorist organization during a news conference in Pasadena, Texas, on Wednesday.
 
"Tons of chemicals that are used to create synthetic drugs like methamphetamine and fentanyl are shipped from China to Mexico in China's undeclared war against America," Pirro said.

Pirro said that 1,300 barrels containing 363,000 pounds benzyl alcohol and 334,000 pounds of N-Methylformamide were seized from two different vessels on the high seas. Both chemicals, Pirro said, are precursor chemicals that could have been used to produce 420,000 pounds of methamphetamine.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

They should have SUNK both of those ships, just like they did with that one off the coast of Venezuela a few days' back.

How about stop pretending the Chinese Communist Party isn't out to destroy America by all means possible.

China is a totalitarian Mao-ist Communist dictatorship.  Nothing enters or leaves China without the approval of Xi and the Chinese Communist Party.

We need to stop doing business with the Chi-coms and letting them pirate our competitive advantages.
