Drug Enforcement Administration

no most people just walk it off like get the hell out of my truck i'm leaving

And then when you're a law enforcement officer, when you're a LEO or FBI or DEA, you're in a position to carry a firearm to protect civilians or to... try to bust bad guys with drugs and just if you've been if you're in a position of law enforcement or to be issued a gun you know that's kind of a big deal and with that comes a lot of response responsibility and you just can't be getting in fights at the strip club and offing yourself while while trying to you know threaten another person right Yes.

There comes a certain amount of responsibility that you have with that, just like the responsibility if you're a concealed weapons permit.

Exactly.

Because even when you think you've got a crew cracked and eating out of your palms it only takes a touch of paranoia to put the entire operation in jeopardy and in this case it was a stroke of bad luck.

The same day my info led to the arrest of one of the group's cash couriers, one of their stash houses was raided by the DEA.

The raid was completely unconnected to my own department's UC ops as the agents had been working on their own intel, but to my new friends it looked an awful lot like a concerted effort.

and that the info had come from an informant in their organization.

There's a guy in L.A. multiple guys in LA.

We just made a multiple person arrest a few weeks ago with DEA, FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office.

But one gentleman in particular, about $23 million he used, but he bought a $145,000 Range Rover, $7 million house in California, $500,000 a vacation house, and this was money that was supposed to go to feed our homeless neighbors.

And that's just one example.

Are we going to go to Cuba next? Or will we do more in other South American countries? Will we go after cartels? Well, I invade and attack most of the countries in South America, claiming that they are cartel run.

And as I pointed out before, the biggest drug dealers in the world are the American government, the CIA, the DEA, those people.

They're the ones who are running the cartels.

They're the ones who created the crack cocaine epidemic.

It was before crypto became the medium of choice that it is now for sanctioned evasion.

So 2015, I'm the DEA office head in Istanbul, Turkey.

This reporter, through a circuitous route, gets to DEA headquarters, Congressional Public Affairs, requests authority to speak with me and interviewed me about Captagon, which is an MFET.

And it was weird.

It has a weird history of being common in Eastern Europe and on the Arabian Peninsula.

criminals started filling the vacuum.

They saw opportunity to increase production of Captagon, given that there was already lab infrastructure in place there.

Sounds perfectly confident, right? And you're talking to a DEA guy, so you're thinking, he must know what he's talking about.

In the case of this joint mission from September, 17 people arrested, 97 guns they say were seized, some of them converted to automatic weapons, and around 100 pounds of illegal drugs were seized.

The DEA, ATF, FBI, Portland Police, Gresham Police, and the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office, they all worked together on that mission.

An aunt is asking for help to find the person who murdered her nephew.

But it's especially dangerous because extremely small amounts can cause respiratory depression in which a person's breathing slows or completely stops.

The DEA considers approximately two milligrams of fentanyl a potentially lethal dose, although the actual risk depends on several factors, including an individual's tolerance or their weight or size.

Mississippi has been experiencing a dramatic increase in the overdose deaths during the late 2010s and the early 2020s, with fentanyl playing a major role to that.

746 people died from drug overdoses in Mississippi in 2021, but by 2024, the number of drug overdose deaths had declined to approximately 491, and the preliminary numbers for 2025 showed approximately 449 overdose deaths statewide, representing a 40% decline from the 2021 peak.
