Looks like some Dreamers have been busy helping this country achieve greatness.



Boston authorities said they seized more than 33 pounds of fentanyl—enough to kill millions of people—in connection with one of Massachusetts’ biggest drug busts ever.

In announcing the results of a six-month wiretap probe called "Operation High Hopes," prosecutors said the synthetic opioid was being sold on the street by a drug gang with links to Mexico’s notorious Sinaloa Cartel, the drug organization once led by Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.

“I want to be clear about the size and scope here,” District Attorney Daniel Conley said at a news conference Thursday. “Massachusetts’ fentanyl trafficking statute covers quantities greater than 10 grams. That threshold represents less than 1/1000 of the quantity we’ve taken off the street.”

He said the number of overdoses the seized fentanyl could have caused “is truly staggering.”

“Individuals who buy and sell at this level aren’t users,” Conley said. “They’re not small-time dealers, either. They’re certainly not selling to support a habit. They’re trafficking in addictive substances that claim more lives in Massachusetts than all homicides, all suicides, and all car crashes, statewide, combined.”

The Boston Herald quoted a law enforcement source as saying that the 33-plus pounds of fentanyl is enough to kill more than 7 million people in its raw form. Massachusetts population is 6.8 million.

Authorities said the biggest fish netted in the probe, conducted by Boston police and agents from the federal Drug Enforcement Agency, was Robert Contreras, 42, of Boston. He was arrested at his home Thursday and is being held in lieu of $1 million bail.

Conley said the probe’s initial focus was a Contreras customer, Edward Soto-Perez, 43, of Boston.

He said he took the “rare step of approving a wiretap” because Soto-Perez had been so adept at protecting the addresses of his stash houses and the identities of his suppliers.

Conley said the wiretap eventually led to Soto-Perez's biggest supplier, Contreras, and established Contreras' direct ties to the Sinaloa cartel.

The DA said 36 others were also arrested in the probe and that investigators also seized cocaine, heroin, two guns and $300,000 in cash.

Put them to death.

Reading this I have a question, if this stuff is so potent and can be absorbed through the skin is there a possibility of it being used in a terrorist attack? It seems that if you could create an aerosol in a large crowd it would be devastating.

What does that have to do with this article?

Let's not confuse issues here.

Yes. Quite possible. Fentanyl, not so much. It's lethality in absorption/airborne is frankly exaggerated... but Carfentanil, which has been seized in significant amounts as well, is much much more lethal than even fentanyl, and more like powdered sugar and quite readily aerosoled:

Seems to me there's probably cheaper, less exotic, more effective ways to carry out an attack. Like a rental truck. The real threat with this stuff is to everyone who deals with the drug trade on either side, not in terrorism.

I admit that I may have taken some artistic license here. There may not be a single "Dreamer" in this group, or there may be several. I don't know. Apologies for my sarcasm and venting!

However, there are undoubtedly many illegals (in the immigration sense) involved in this bust, and I have trouble hiding my disgust at the daily headlines, such as this, that involve people that are in this country conducting these types of activities that are wreaking such havoc. It makes my blood boil.

I proposed something similar and was denounced as a lunatic.

Agreed, these assholes are no less a threat to our national security than any other terrorist groups.

Treat them, and their organizations, just like any other invading force. Run them down and kill them.

How many of our people have to die because of that shit?

Mass is too damm liberal to exterminate these vermin. Kill them and everyone they've associated in this endeavor.
