Episode Synopsis

This text is an excerpt from an online article arguing that the People's Republic of China is not responsible for America's opioid epidemic. The article suggests that the epidemic's roots lie in a history of opium trafficking conducted by Western powers, including the United States, which profited from the misery of the opium trade. It argues that the American government, through the CIA and other intelligence agencies, was actively involved in the opium trade, using it to finance covert operations and to undermine communist governments. Furthermore, the article criticizes what it calls "mushy liberals" for their misguided policies that have exacerbated the problem. Finally, it argues that the opioid crisis is not an organic phenomenon, but rather a deliberately engineered outcome that serves the interests of those who benefit from the suffering of the "useless eaters" of society.
