BE AWARE! The Hells Angels and Bloods alliance heads are having talks while you are reading this about their monopole in North America. They want to eradicate the Tai Huen Chai, know as the big circle, and the 14K in the continent. The goal is to overtake all of their activities in the territory. According to their plans, they will be supported by the Sinaloa Cartel and the Sun Yee On for a part of the gains obtained and it would be done by early 2024. If everything goes as planned, the Hells Angels and the Bloods will help the Sun Yee On to continue the Tai Huen Chai and the 14K hunt in Asia. They told their mens to prioritize the capture, mostly for torture and interrogation before killing and for selling but to kill right away if they can not capture. This is what the members having close ties with the Hells Angels chapter leaders are talking about. Some had already start moving to the targeted main operation areas and had been told that it is safe to because the Tai Huen Chai and 14K members are weak and stupid, rat like beings. They have to get the job done by any means, even if mass killing is needed. If you are involved tell you comrades about what is happening before it is too late to prevent the bloodbath and their fall!!!!

@Mister Jorge "Anglos caused most of the world's problems." - David Cameron, former British Prime Minister The fact that notorious Anglo Western clans are major participants & benefactors of Colonization worldwide, stretching from North America, the land rightfully belongs to indigenous Native American people to Australia/New Zealand in Asia-Pacific, the land rightfully belongs to Native people of Asia Pacific region. - As a matter of fact, here in Singapore, a tiny island with 6 million souls lives like sardines in a can, where else in nearby vast bountiful Australia which is ten thousand times 10,000 bigger with a mere 27 million inhabitants. Similar situation in tiny and packed Japan, which is running out of space and land. Do you know that their living room and bedroom are the same place, and that most Japanese people sleep in their living room? 😔 - While European Colonizers such as Britain and Russia have already Colonized half of Asia, stretching from Australia/New Zealand, to Siberia/Far-East, all in the Asia-Pacific region.., Native people of Asia-Pacific are fighting for a few tiny islands left out there in the South China Sea. Obviously something is not right here! - Moreover, all these invaders Colonizers do is dig and empty out all the bountiful abundant natural mineral resources from the looted giant resourceful landmass in Asia-Pacific, and sell them back to Asia-Pacific nations. True, it has been their largest export, earning several hundred billion dollars, every year. - In my very humble opinion, Asia has been under attack from Anglo British, since they sailed halfway around the world from jolly old England in Europe, and looted this vast bountiful so-called Australia landmass in Asia Pacific region in the late 18th century? Why didn't they occupy beautiful fertile Iceland, right above them just a short distance away, with hardly any people there, even today? - May I ask why is Australia, a vast resourceful Continent in Asia-Pacific, only a few hundred miles away from South-East Asia had no Asian-Pacific Islanders in that vast land originally, historically inhabiting when Anglo pirates, some 10,000 miles away England, sailed half the world away, and looted in late 18th century? This doesn't make sense, since Asian-Pacific Islanders originally and historically inhabited and resided in the Pacific islands such as Guam, Tonga, New Zealand, Tahiti, Fiji and Hawaii. - May I ask if Anglo clans have any laws at all for dealing with past and present notorious global cardinal crimes like Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization of vast bountiful resourceful Continents, such as North America, which rightfully belongs to indigenous Native Americans, and to Australia and New Zealand in Asia-Pacific region, which rightfully belongs to Native people of Asia Pacific? I agree. It's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners. Notorious global cardinal sins & crimes that Anglo West has committed and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask?

[@AGrace-tw6ku]

"Among the five main Anglo nations of Britain, USA, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, all but Britain were looted from others." 'History is written by the victors and liars.' [Napoleon Bonaparte] Speaking of 'the rule of Law', may I ask where is the rule of law when the Anglo West is practicing centuries-long global Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization? May I ask when will the Anglo West face justice for their notorious centuries-long global crimes of Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization from North/South America to Australia/New Zealand? Speaking of 'crime'.., remember, it’s only a crime if you lose... The Anglo Western bloc had been on the winning side for about three centuries. Obviously, they couldn't care less about the "crimes" any more.

[@AGrace-tw6ku]

"We're still here.. We are not going anywhere." ~ Native Americans 🤔 May I ask if you care to know the fact that the Second Amendment in the USA was historically put in place in the American Constitution, mainly to encourage slaughtering indigenous Native American people, in order to take over their homeland. Moreover, the hidden mega genocide of indigenous Native Americans population in their motherland, the Continent of America before European Colonizers arrived was around 15 millions, while European population in their motherland, Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native Americans population in their motherland is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continent of America + Europe, is a staggering 'TWO BILLIONS'! For instance, 200 years ago in the USA, around 3 million Germans came, and now there are 65 millions German-Americans; while 150 years ago, around 2 millions Irish came, and now there are 45 million Irish-Americans. While 500 years ago there were estimated to be 5 to 6 millions indigenous Native Americans in the USA, before Christopher Columbus arrived, today there are only around 2 million indigenous Native Americans survived. Imagine this scenario, if Native American people cross the Atlantic, invade and Colonize Europe, and slaughter most Europeans, and put the remaining populations in tiny reservations, for 500 long years. How would Europeans feel about it? Think about it. All they need is their beloved motherland back, the lands that their ancestors' forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for generations. Besides, indigenous Native Americans in Colonized lands of Anglo British, Spaniard and others are more of the same. Kill the indigenous Natives and whoever is left, marginalize them and create artificial poverty, once that poverty becomes crime and drinking, the media points to the poor and blames them to continue to stigmatize the 'other' community, scumbags, etc. Amazing fact that Indigenous Natives had built such great civilizations as Mayan, Inca and Aztec without outside help, and all from scratch, and all on their own, since they had been cut off from the rest of the world for twenty thousand years. In other words, they actually are great and proud people. Imagine what it would be like today if Native Americans had possessed some sort of nuclear weapons to defend themselves, and their beloved motherlands from invaders Colonizers? The answer is they would still have their own beloved motherlands, plus their population comparable to that of the European population. Like I said, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Anglo West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery and Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on? 🤔

One thing never seems to get mentioned here:WHY meth/yaba are so important to SE Asia. Answer: Low-grade meth is a chemical slavedriver used to keep workers in sweatshops churning out goods for hours to days with no rest. These sweatshops' owners buy large amounts to hand out to the workers, who then get addicted. When the workers are used up and fired or the factory closes, they're still addicts; only they're now street addicts. So between the owners and ex-workers, a very large trade in cheap street-level meth for the Narco lords is right there for the taking.

[@homelessman3483]

Was wondering when they would mention that. Thailand has always had a history of working class stimulant use in order to deal with long brutal days. From kratom to khat to yaba

[@dsnodgrass4843]

[@catherine4077]

Workers ? Many of them were sold as slaves by agents. Ever heard about Thailand's slave fishing industry ? That was an uproar. Till this day, nobody knows how many people were killed. Also red light district business, many women were sold and they use meth to control these women. I always deny when someone invites me to go on a trip to Thailand, they only know a good beach, not the dangers behind that. It's very dangerous even if I can bring my gun, I will never go there. After all, reality is not a movie and I don't have alpha CIA dad like Brian in hurricane rescue. Knowledge is a blessing even if it could be a misfortune at sometimes, better to have it than not having it.

[@Daniel-kz5iq]

There's only one way to fight the meth tide. the legalization of heroin! I know about the subject and have been dealing with the subject of drugs, politics and security for about 20 years. I maintain that the drug problem is wanted worldwide. Only the poorest of the poor have to fear the real consequences. People are persecuted and punished who are ill and already have serious problems. Drug addiction is nothing more than self-therapy that led to addiction without control and guidance. The biggest and, in my opinion, the only problem is the prosecution of end consumers.

I was strongly addicted to meth from the age 17 until age 31. I have all my teeth, my skin isn’t riddled with holes and sores but, it really f’d me up physically because I wasn’t taking care of myself , I was picking at my skin, not eating, not sleeping, etc & it took me about 2 years after I got clean to get back to normal physically. I am happy to be 8 years clean today *update* I’ve had a few think I’m a bot, or full of crap but I’m real & so is my story. I want to clarify that I am not without any damage to my body from my years in addiction, that would be foolish to claim. I was just simply saying that in MY experience that I am thankful I still have my teeth & my scars from picking, etc have mostly faded. I am aware that I am highly privileged in that regard because so many have completely destroyed their bodies. thank God for everything

Also depending on your drug of choice is what symptoms and damage you deal with while sober.

For example being robbed could cause you to compulsively check your house locks multiple times a day, panic attacks at a grocery store when someone walks behind you, or even flashbacks from watching movies or hearing a loud bang to trigger you to relive the time your friend was murdered.

About 25 years ago we took a family trip through Thailand. Right from Bangkok all the way to the northern point in Chiang Mai. Got to see the Golden triangle where the three rivers meet. Along the way in Chiang Mai we took time to visit some of the villages. Most the villages that we visited we're just built with bamboo and wooden huts. Barely any running water. But we got to this one village and it's homes had concrete foundations, electricity, and they were watching the world cup on one of the televisions. Our guide even bought a couple guns from them. When I asked where they got all these resources from, my mom just pointed to the mountainside and said poppies. The entire mountainside was covered with poppies for opium production. It was an incredible sight.

If someone has a little knpowledge about the History of the golden triangle, he must know how obsurd the claim China supplys them with weapons is. Th drug trade there was originally started by the the 8th Army, known to foreign observers as 93rd Division of the nationalist Kuomintang Army (KMT). When the KMT lost the war aginst Mao and retreated to Taiwan, they were stationed in Yunnan and could not reach the coast, so they had to march over the mountains into the jungles of Burma. Their goal was to retake China, and they where armed and suplied by the CIA.... obviously not by China. Also the CIA plays a major role in the regions drug business, but that video does not even mention that once. Instead it accuses China for the mess the US created.

[@perrycheong1058]

Many of the synthetic drugs i.e. amphetamine, ketamine, fentanyl & etc that currently exist in the global/international black market come from China though. However, this is because of the market demand, which had always, and would always exist, along with the overall 'war on drugs' policy.

[@donalain69]

@@perrycheong1058 I doubt China is a large exporter of drugs. They import MDMA from the Netherlands to be able to meet the demand in their own country. (source wikipedia article: "illegal drug traede in CHina" chapter: "synthetic drugs") What they are exprorting are precursor Chemicals that are legal in China while being banned in most western nations. But i would not blame them for that, since the only effect it has is increasing the quality and safety of synthetic drugs, not the quantity. Thereare enough other ways to manufacture them without those precursors. (source: Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture By Uncle Fester)

Was going to say something similar.

I could smoke heroin before, at and after work and nobody ever knew, the withdrawals make me feel queasy and tense just thinking about them typing this out right now though.... However, I never understood how someone could like meth, I tried it twice in my whole life and the feeling was just so grimy, it was like the stimulant version of tripping on dxm if that makes sense, just an edgy dirty feeling the whole experience... alcohol is dirty too but dirty in a way that relaxed me deeply, especially when mixed with pills or heroin..then again uppers were just never my thing, different strokes for different folks. Meth is still pretty nasty overall, on the other hand though, real heroin is such a warm clean dreamy deep sense of peace and inner comfort, it hardly even feels like you're on a drug...it literally makes you feel the most relaxed dude on earth and it's because in a way you are. Both are horrible drugs though, all I'm saying is I'm glad that downers were my thing.

The history being presented here is only 1/2 correct and overly simplified. The true origins of the drug lords in the golden triangle dates back to the the Chinese Civil War. As the Nationalist government lost the mainland to the communists, the vast majority fled to Taiwan, however there were 2 entire Chinese Nationalist Army division which fled to Myanmar and took over a swath of land there and build their own little country. This army fought earlier in WWII against the Japanese(Burma front) in that region and was led by famous general Li Mi and was way better equipped then the Burmese army and was also well supplied with arms by Taiwan as a potential force to be used in a re-invasion of the mainland up to the 60s. After they were mostly defeated in Burma and cut off from Taiwan's aid they took refuge in the cross border region and used drug production to recruit burmese ethnic minorities and built private armies. For ex. the famous Drug Lord Khun Sa was originally a professional Chinese nationalist army soldier. Also there are element of weapons funding for many of the ethnic militias in Burma from China because many of minorities being attacked constantly by the Burmese gov. in the border region are Han Chinese(Kokang) or other ethnic minorities also living in China(The Wa for ex.) so the regional gov.s of Yunnan China feel a urge to protect them from the Burmese. Other militia groups which don't have an ethnic connection to China are allied with China because they're far left Communist or Maoist groups which has been supplied by China for decades due to their traditional ideological bond.

According to their plans, they will be supported by the Sinaloa Cartel and the Sun Yee On for a part of the gains obtained and it would be done by early 2024. If everything goes as planned, the Hells Angels and the Bloods will help the Sun Yee On to continue the Tai Huen Chai and the 14K hunt in Asia. They told their mens to prioritize the capture, mostly for torture and interrogation before killing and for selling but to kill right away if they can not capture. This is what the members having close ties with the Hells Angels chapter leaders are talking about. Some had already start moving to the targeted main operation areas and had been told that it is safe to because the Tai Huen Chai and 14K members are weak and stupid, rat like beings. They have to get the job done by any means, even if mass killing is needed.

They wont have to leave a trail of destruction behind them. To some it may sound crazy.. but if approaching the problem this way can start to drive down the Death numbers, instead of the numbers growing every year.. then it'll be worth it. It is a lonely life to live in active drug addiction. (Trust me) And contrary to what alot of folks think..The opposite of addiction is not sobriety.. it's Connection.

Vice is like listening to a friend's friend spout questionable Cliff notes at a keg party just to practice talking without blinking. Try Narcotopia by Patrick Winn (2024). Or keep listening to your friend's friend. He seems confident and focused. 'Course, that could be the ya-ba talking...

Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress..saved my life.

[@StephanieAnna-td8ux]

Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with health issues like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them but it's just so hard to source out here.

[@AhmedHalabe-pi3ph]

I'm feeling the same way too. I put so much on my plate and it definitelv affects mv stress and anxietv levels

I dont know why but I find the bulb pipe to be such a trigger, Im off of Meth two years now. But for some reason when I see the pipe it makes me want to hit it again even though I know how gross it taste and the effects it has on your body are atrocious. I wont ever go back to that life, really wish I understood the part of the brain that thinks this way because most times it doesnt even feel like its yourself thinking these things.

[@HdHd-hp6qz]

Its the cloudy swirl of the smoke that you remember in the bowl right before you take a hit. It tastes like crack to me. It’s definitely something that tells you it will destroy you completely if you carry on using it. That’s why I only use it once every 6 months and plan it properly take a week off work so I have enough time to recover back to reality and my normal schedule in life. The buzz from it is too for me to say I’ll never try that again. But I’m also self aware that it will destroy me if I ever decided to be weak enough to start taking it more than twice a year with no preparation at all. I know people that do the same thing with crack aswell once a year as a darkside treat.

I would really like to watch a video where they show how meth is produce, from beginning to end.

I live in Queens New York in a heavily Southeast Asian populated neighborhood. Meth is the drug of choice for people from this part of the world. they walk the street at night with crazy expressions on their faces acting irrational and erratic. these people are middle class and well off and they still choose to do this drug.

[@bigsidrealprisontalk9173]

I agree with you

[@hellaxjdm]

What area? I’ve lived in Queens all my life and I’m not hip to it

[@meeks1201]

I live in the LES/Chinatown and all the homeless folks use meth all day every day, I know that in Japan it’s their drug of choice too.

$50 - $100 for a point (of a gram) in Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 Biiiiiiggg money is wasted on this poison. I'm 18 months clean now but this stuff has destroyed my relationships and my left kidney and contributed to my tooth decay, for 20 years on and off with 5 years clean in there. Such a waste. Thankyou for sharing 🤘💜🤘 PS I think the bikie gang assessment is a bit over the top though.

Thank you Vice for your continuous efforts into documenting everything on drugs every other day which will probably lead me to being a coke zombie soon!

War on drugs will never win. I see so much young people on coke in our country. Before we went out and got drunk, now they use coke and take one or two drinks. Strange times we live in. Police has to do way more.
