Hat Tip: DC Whispers:
He orchestrated a multi-trillion-dollar drug deal under the guise of “solving” a non-existent healthcare crisis. In eight years he watched as millions more became addicted to the very prescription drugs his healthcare law pushed. At the very same time, he kept poppy fields owned by hardline Muslim extremists intact – poppy fields that were used to produce more drugs that were then sold to finance Islamic extremists trained to kill American soldiers. He also helped to facilitate the sale of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of cocaine by one of the world’s most dangerous Muslim terrorist groups, Hezbollah, here in the United States. …
… Remember, Obamacare became law in 2010. Keep that in mind as you look at these charts. The link between that law and this country’s current opioid crisis is undeniable. Want to know who Mr. Obama met with right before passing Obamacare? The drug companies. (see also Rx drug chart at link)
I think “dealer” is a bit of a stretch but pusher or “lord” might apply.
Your thoughts?
Many dots now being connected. Here may be a few more. We’ll see.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all to find out that the Clinton foundation connects many of the people in those indictments together, RHT447.
This is going to be quite a year.
There are also two other contributing factors to the “hockey stick” like rise starting in 2010; the recession and the lack of border control.
The high unemployment rate, especially in the poorer inner cities, causes more people to turn to drugs for a source of income and/or a source of escape. Couple that with an unimpeded supply of drugs crossing the border that keeps the prices low and provides the product for new dealers and it is simple economics; significant supply meets significant demand.
You also have to take into account that the recession has caused a reduction in the tax revenue that cities (including Chico) must have to provide a police force that can root out drug dealing operations. The recession resulted in less sales tax revenue growth and reduced real estate values, enough that it made sense for property owners to challenge their property valuations to reduce their taxes. All this resulted in a significant “hit” to the bottom line in most cities and towns. Many towns and cities are forced to focus what limited resources they have on violent crimes at the expense of property and drug crime enforcement.
It also seems like there has been less interest in fighting the war on drugs since 2010. Many states have taken the steps to legalize pot for medicinal purposes or for recreational use. People can argue all day long that there is no connection between pot and hard drug use but I’ve seen it happen over and over again. There is a major connection for some people.
The graph obviously indicates drug use is way up since 2010. One thing it doesn’t tell us is how much drug activity has impacted society in other ways. How much of the homelessness we see today is as a result of this increased drug use? Is this increase in drug use responsible for other crimes; property and violent. Drugs play a major part in funding gang activity but gang activity is not just limited to drugs. Many of the murders in large cities are as a result of gangs fighting over their territory.
Let’s hope the bad economic days are over and there is more tax revenue and more of a focus on funding citizen safety rather than pet political projects like the bullet-train-to-nowhere and the twin water tunnels to LA.
Amen to that RHT447.
The combination of an improving economy (good jobs), a focus on good law enforcement, improving education and training, and smart immigration and border controls will improve the lives of our citizens greatly.
