The Los Angeles Police Department seized over 50 pounds of fentanyl, as well as nine pounds of black tar heroin and $14,500 in south Los Angeles this week, equating to over 4 million dollars in worth, the police announced.

The drug bust took place on October 16th, involving the LAPD’s Narcotics and Gang Impact Team.

A 28-year-old man named Jose Alberto Soto was arrested on suspicion of selling fentanyl, which led officers to obtain a search warrant, where they discovered the massive amount of fentanyl he was hiding.

Following the seizure, the LAPD released a statement recounting the events.

“the Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Area Narcotics Enforcement Detail 9NED), assisted by Rampart Area Narcotics Enforcement Detail and the Central Area Gang Impact Team (GIT), conducted an undercover narcotics investigation near Downtown Los Angeles which resulted in the arrest of one Los Angeles resident for Sales of Fentanyl,” the statement began.

The search warrant prompted officers to arrive at the 7500 block of Central Avenue in South Los Angeles, where they discovered massive amounts of fentanyl, in addition to heroin and cash. The confiscated drugs and cash was estimated to be $4 million in street value, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency.

Authorities highlighted that only 2 milligrams of fentanyl could be a potentially lethal dose, meaning the 50 pounds of seized fentanyl could kill over 11 million people, or nearly three times the population of Los Angeles.

“According to current Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) estimates for the Los Angeles Area, this seizure represents over $4,000,000 in street value. Assuming a 2mg lethal dose, this seized fentanyl could potentially kill over 11,000,000 people,” the statement continued.

According to jail records, Soto remains in custody without the opportunity for bail.

According to the Centers For Disease Control’s (CDC) national statistics, there were 107,543 deaths resulting from a drug overdose in 2023, with the “vast majority of those” deaths attributed to fentanyl specifically.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced on Monday that he has authorized state troopers to be stationed at each school building in Springfield, Ohio after a series of “unfounded bomb threats” took place. 

DeWine has said all 33 bomb threats received so far have been hoaxes.

Former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance have been blamed for recent bomb threats in the media, claiming they’re the reason these threats are taking place.

“We have people, unfortunately overseas, who are taking these actions. Some of them are coming from one particular country. "We think that this is one more opportunity to mess with the United States,” DeWine said during a Monday afternoon news conference. “We cannot let the bad guys win. Our schools must remain open. They’re going to remain open.”

However, DeWine declined to name which country the threats were coming from. 

The troopers will deploy explosive sniffing dogs and will work alongside the Springfield Police Department. Three dozen troopers will be assigned to provide security before, during and after school hours at the city’s 18 school buildings for the foreseeable future. 

DeWine also stated that the Haitians who relocated to the area of Springfield for work are there under legal status. 

“There are issues about immigration that anybody has the legitimate right to talk about and to debate. "The fact that our southern border is porous and is a total mess is a legitimate issue in a presidential campaign, a Senate campaign or any other campaign,” DeWine said.

Starting on Tuesday, 36 state troopers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Mobile Field Force will be stationed throughout the school district. 

They will start sweeping school buildings for threats each day before students and faculty arrive, remaining on-campus throughout the day “to provide security throughout the school day and during dismissal.”

“None of the threats that have come into Springfield to date have been legitimate. "We're doing this purely as a precaution to prevent further disruption within the Springfield City School District,” DeWine said.

Additionally, the Ohio Governor said he also directed Ohio Homeland Security to conduct vulnerability assessments on “critical infrastructure” in the city, as well as provide surveillance cameras to the local police department.

DeWine also stated that the problems with illegal immigration are legitimate issues to debate and something to think about when voting. 

Meanwhile, nearly 20,000 Haitians have moved to Springfield over the past few years, a dramatic increase for a town that had 59,000 in it as of the 2020 census.

Police Confirm Ultra-Violent Venezuelan Prison Gang Operating in Dallas

Dallas Police have confirmed the presence of the Venezuelan prison gang, Tren de Aragua, in North Dallas. The notorious gang has spread across the U.S., particularly in sanctuary cities, with activities reportedly linked to human trafficking and violent crime. A viral video has recently surfaced, but police clarified that the footage, despite claims, is from an isolated, year-old incident. The rise of Tren de Aragua in the U.S. highlights the broader issue of unvetted migration, exacerbated by current border policies. Critics argue that the Biden-Harris administration's failure to secure the southern border has allowed dangerous criminal elements to establish operations in American cities, including Dallas. The spread of such violent gangs directly correlates to weak immigration enforcement, putting public safety at risk. Conservatives are calling for stricter border policies to prevent further gang infiltration.

This looks more like Berlin in 1938 than anything we have seen in America before. What followed in Berlin? Meanwhile, the ADL sounds the alarm against “far right” antisemitism and “Islamophobia.” The people attacking Jews on the streets in broad daylight in Los Angeles were leftists and Muslims. For the ADL, leftist and Muslim antisemitism is virtually nonexistent. It seems as if the whole world has determined to ignore the sources of the real threat.

Pro-Hamas protesters take over part of Brooklyn Museum, vandalize artwork, scuffle with police

With climate fantasists defacing artwork and pro-Hamas thugs menacing people at museums, before too long such cultural installations will be a thing of the past.

“Police arrest 22 for anti-Israel demo backed by pro-Hamas group at Brooklyn Museum,” Times of Israel, June 1 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Pro-Palestinian protesters took over parts of the museum on Friday, hanging a banner above the main entrance, occupying much of the lobby and scuffling with police, witnesses said.

New York City police officers tackled and punched protesters during scuffles that broke out in the crowd outside the museum, while some demonstrators hurled plastic bottles at officers and shouted insults. Other protesters held banners, waved Palestinian flags and chanted boisterously on the steps of the grand, Beaux Arts museum, which is the city’s second largest.

The art museum in the New York City borough of Brooklyn said it closed an hour early due to the disruption.

One of the arrests was of a man who spray-painted an outdoor sculpture, Reuters witnessed. Skirmishes between police and protesters also took place inside the building.

“There was damage to existing and newly installed artwork on our plaza,” a museum spokesperson said in an email. “Protesters entered the building, and our public safety staff were physically and verbally harassed….

Security guards prevented many from entering, with videos posted on social media showing them trying to secure the museum’s doors against the surging crowd, but some demonstrators managed to get inside.

A banner was hung from atop the neoclassical facade proclaiming, “Free Palestine, Divest From Genocide,” while the protesters also set up tents in the lobby.

A pro-Palestinian organization named Within Our Lifetime urged demonstrators to “flood Brooklyn Museum for Gaza,” alluding to the name that Hamas gave to its October 7 terror onslaught that started the war in Gaza. Within Our Lifetime, which praised the Hamas-led attack in the immediate aftermath of the atrocities, says activists occupied the museum to compel it to disclose any Israeli-related investments and to divest any such funding….

The Unbelievable Supreme Court Ruling That Allows Police to Seize Your Car for Over a Year

In a shocking 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court dealt a devastating blow to property rights, ruling that police are not required to hold prompt hearings when seizing cars and other assets, even from innocent owners. The case, involving two Alabama women whose cars were taken in drug-related incidents, highlights the glaring injustices within the civil forfeiture system. Despite the property belonging to individuals not accused of any wrongdoing, the owners were forced to wait over a year for the return of their vehicles. The ruling leaves countless Americans vulnerable to abuse, as law enforcement agencies can now seize and hold property indefinitely without any initial judicial oversight. In a scathing dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned of the potential for abuse, as police departments often have a financial incentive to retain seized assets. The decision has sparked outrage among civil liberties advocates, who argue that it undermines due process and property rights enshrined in the Constitution. As the practice of civil forfeiture continues to grow, the need for legal reform and increased protections for innocent property owners has never been more urgent. The Supreme Court ruling serves as a wake-up call for all Americans concerned about the erosion of their fundamental rights.
