They can't even determine what caused these illnesses let alone claim they know who did it and with what object. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 4am@lemmy.zip 9 points 7 months ago (2 children) My tinfoil conspiracy: The US government brought in fentanyl and adulterated all the incoming supplies of everything they could , flooded the market with it for cutting, and just let that become the norm, so they could finally punish all those hippie druggies once and for all. You know, like they did with crack in black communities in the 90s but with a larger scope. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] evol@lemmy.today 9 points 7 months ago crack walked so fent could run permalink fedilink source parent [–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago This isn't even tinfoil hat level, it's literally something they've done before (with crack).

It sounds like someone pulled off a sweet scam though, getting "eight figures" for what sounds like a backpack full of cobbled together radio hardware. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hector@lemmy.today 1 point 7 months ago Reminds me of an old book/movie, Our Man in Havana.
