Arthur Sackler, who brought you the “very white” oxycodone epidemic.

White America is reeling as the holocaust of opioid addiction takes its toll. Hundreds of thousands of whites have lost their lives to this epidemic – more than the United States lost in the Second World War. Indeed, each year’s deaths is roughly the equivalent of the number of Americans who were killed during the entirety of the Vietnam War. White male life expectancy has fallen for the third consecutive yea; drug overdoses and suicides are almost solely responsible for this trend.
All of this evinces a profound despair at the heart of our people, a general loss of our will to live. Indeed, there is a black hole at the center of our nation, devouring us from within. What else are we to expect when we are forbidden to express our identity through any medium other than black football teams and penitential self-flagellation? We, the descendants of the Scots-Irish and Anglo-Saxon settlers who tamed the wilderness and conquered a continent, appear to be following the pitiful path of the Amerindians we subdued: becoming a defeated people clinging onto bottles and injecting death into their veins, going from John Gast’s American Progress to the world of Falling Down, Donnybrook, and Requiem for a Dream.
This slow-motion suicide might, however, be something more akin to genocide. As we replaced the Amerindians (who may or may not be “native” North Americans), a rising tide of color is currently in the process of replacing us in what is surely one of the swiftest demographic transformations in human history. The barbarians are already inside the gates, dismantling our civilization from within. The opioid crisis itself is an open act of war by the Chinese government. State-supported fentanyl manufacturers collude with Mexican cartels and the narco-state apparatus to massacre as many white Americans as possible. Purdue Pharma’s Jewish Sackler family o proudly sneered at the OxyContin launch party that “the prescription blizzard will be so deep, dense, and white.” Our successors strive to strip us of our means for self-defense, just as the Amerindians were disarmed. The true target of “gun control” activism is clear: “Assault rifles” in white rural communities are being targeted, while illegal handguns go unchallenged in black urban hellscapes. So-called “red flag” laws target whites on the Right, yet gang databases remain off-limits. Whites are not to be permitted our identity or even security.
As the opioid epidemic sweeps through the realm, claiming more victims than the crack epidemic of the 1980s, our government’s response has been wholly different. When blacks were the victims, the machinery of the state shifted into action through national propaganda campaigns and a near-universal tightening of drug laws, successfully stemming the crisis and reversing crime statistics nationwide. Journalists and media celebrities ensured that alarmist coverage was total. And yet blacks continue to believe in conspiracy theories which hold that the “white supremacist” United States government propagated the crack epidemic.
By contrast, though there has been a great deal of reporting on the opioid crisis, and despite the fact that several major Republican politicians (including President Trump) have made the right noises and taken cursory action in response to it, the needle has barely shifted. Television coverage remains slight. Many journalists revel in this debasement of the white race, crying crocodile tears as they tell us that this is our comeuppance.
Worst of all, the bipartisan political establishment seems obsessed with throwing open the prison gates to minority votes. The combination of the Trump administration’s First Step Act, state legislation like Oklahoma’s State Question 780, California’s Proposition 47, and the actions of Soros-funded Leftist prosecutors like Kim Foxx, Larry Krasner, John Creuzot, and the terrorist progeny Chesa Boudin have created a perfect storm in which black and brown drug dealers are treated with eggshell leniency. While criminals walk free in the midst of the greatest drug crisis in our history, the Department of Justice pursues white advocates with ceaseless vigor. In such a world, where illegal alien criminals run amok while whites are harassed for the most minor of infractions, can we be blamed if we ask why we continue to pay taxes?
There are examples galore which reveal the state’s actual priorities, and not only in America. The French government, having lost control of the Paris banlieues, strictly enforces its rule that passengers must not put their feet up on empty seats aboard regional trains. Sweden, suffering from rampant street crime, silences dissenting journalists. The British government, under siege by knifings and unable to pursue justice for schoolgirl rape victims, sentences Kevin Crehan to an effective death sentence for placing bacon on the steps of a mosque. For its part, the German government declares that teenage rape victims were asking for it.
Here at home, the American government vigorously pursues Donald Trump for fraudulent claims about Russian and Ukrainian “collusion” and “bribery,” while no one discusses the fact that court filings have revealed Representative Ilhan Omar to be a Qatari agent. And while the corrupt Elijah Cummings lies in state in the Capitol, Steve Stockman languishes in prison on spurious campaign finance charges.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand lectured drug-ravaged Ohioans about their white privilege. Indeed, we sold our melanin for this privilege.

As I read this piece it sounded familiar and then it hit me. It could have been written by Al Sharpton. Same blaming others, greedy corporate types, other races and the government for individual failures. Not Sackler, not blacks, not the government, nay, no one else except each individual who died from drug overdoses is responsible for each individual death.
Blaming everyone except the addict guarantees the problem will not go away and will only enable more deaths. Perhaps the author should attend a few Al-Anon meetings and learn something about enabling the addict and how harmful it is.
The dishonesty of using a problem to further a narrative is just as disgusting when written about whites as it is when written about blacks. Human nature really is color blind.
Addicts have responsibility too. No one is saying they don’t, but the idea that because they have responsibility suddenly makes these other groups who deliberately fostered in environment that would be detrimental as blameless is absurd. The idea that people can always act in their best interest is ridiculous even the best of us make poor decisions and act poorly much less the average person. The consequences for a moment of weakness or making some poor decisions results in incredibly difficult addictions and death, not everybody can always be consistent or strong. Even for the strong willed, it helps a great deal if there is somebody else who takes away the product that your addicted to or stops us from making a bad choice. In your mind, people should just take responsibility and make better choices, but isn’t getting rid of the people fostering such an environment which encourages the worst decisions self care and acting responsibly?
Also,these things are only magnified in a society where no guidance is given and are identity is been completely torn from us. This is the same old shit where whites are held to a completely different standard to everyone else. I am from the midwest . My cousin died from a heroin overdose and another took a rifle to his head. My best friend took his dad’s shotgun and also blew his brains out. Another friend died from an overdose. I barely got out of an anti-anxiety pill addiction. I had no help and none of the people I mentioned either had any. Do you really think if the government took combating drugs seriously like they do in Japan and China those overdoses would still likely happen? Do you really think that if white males weren’t told since birth that they are what’s wrong with the world and there were given a positive identity that they would be at least somewhat mentally healthier? Our environment is shit, but we should just learn to tolerate it because that is responsible people do. God forbid, we call the people out that foster such an environment.
Totally agree. Good rebuttal to the lolbertarian’s argument. If the state is not gonna protect you what is it for then?
Sarah: I second your agreement. Our economic livelihoods have been completely taken away and torn from us. And this goes back to the late 1800s when jew money men were committing financial scams to induce fear and make Congress give a private central bank the control of the money supply. Which worked.
At the same time somewhere in the 1960s the tariffs of foreign product were being lowered, the flood gates of immigration were opened. It is inconceivable that those who voted for both of those did not realize what they were doing to regular i.e. White Americans. In addition to fewer and fewer jobs being available, we have to compete for jobs with peoples who were not born here (or their parents weren’t) and routinely talk about “their homeland” and get gov’t mandated or corporate willingness racial quotas; pretty much, Whites are left with what is left over.
We wouldn’t be having (as much of) these social pathos among us Whites, like the opioid addictions/suicides or White females going into pornography/sex trades and many others, without the large loss of economic activity to earn a decent living. I mean, this stands to reason, right? I think it does.
This is a very difficult question leading into the murky waters of the Problem of Free Will. Believe me, I know this stuff; I taught it in 3 different colleges for 15 years. The problem is I still haven’t figured out the correct answer. Those who blame the users for the overdoses seem committed to a a very strong form of Freedom of the Will sometimes called either Agent Causation or Libertarianism.
I will say this, as a former fan of Thatcher and Reagan, that I don’t like the “Nanny State” but I think it may be helpful in some cases, and perhaps necessary. I am 63 years old and I can remember the old days, the kind of days described in the TV series “Mad Men” where almost all adults were smoking. I hated LBJ, but, I think the one good thing, the LBJ administration did, and LBJ was perhaps the worst of all 20th Century presidents, (although FDR and Wilson are certainly strong competition for this “honor”), was to start the anti-smoking campaign in 1964 with the requirement that all cigarette packs had to have the warning label. Things improved more under Nixon with the TV commercial ban and continued to improve as time went on. So Americans now are smoking far fewer cigarettes than before 1964 and this is undoubtedly the result of the Nanny State.
I live in Hungary, and have lived her for 8 years, and there are many things I like, especially Viktor Orban, but I wish Hungary would have a Nanny State campaign against cigarettes. Too many people smoke here.
Since there was a successful Nanny State campaign against cigarettes in the US, maybe there should be a stronger campaign against these horrible drugs that are killing so many of our people.
Completely false equivalency. These addictions usually start with doctors prescribing the medications. The eventual addict is being told by an authority figure to take the FDA approved drug as pain medication. That’s an entirely different scenario than someone buying back alley crack to use recreationally. These people didn’t initially ask for the drugs; they were told to take them. This “they all look like drug addicts to me!” attitude is complete bluepilled ignorance.
Pfizer has been forced to admit that these medications carry serious risk of addiction, even when used exactly as instructed. Yet they continue to be prescribed on a whim. It is also widely known (and the position of the government, as revealed by a court ruling) that multiple pharmaceutical companies have deliberately contributed to the epidemic. This is even being occasionally discussed in mainstream “legacy” media: https://apnews.com/98963bb70e0f462295ccc02fe9c68e71
If you can’t see how that’s different than claiming the CIA distributes crack to the inner city, I don’t know what to tell you.
As this piece states, there is practically no help from the authorities, in contrast to the billions spent to end the crack epidemic. It’s certainly true that every addict ultimately has to personally resolve to get better. But very few addicts are capable of doing that without outside assistance – you even mentioned Alcoholics Anonymous. The author’s point is that pharmaceutical companies and a manifestly anti-white establishment egg people on and that those who want to get better have nowhere to turn.
Lastly, “human nature” is far from colorblind. Pick any statistic you want on cognitive ability, criminality, family dynamics, or any other metric of “human nature” that you want. You will consistently find wildly disparate outcomes based on race.
Doctors mindlessly recommending addicting medication happened tome.I had gotten addicted to anti-anxiety medication because my therapist at the time told me I needed pills to be happy. That robbed me of three years of my life.
Bill, you’re essentially saying that working class white people who were prescribed opioids by their doctors are as culpable for their addictions as people who knew they were buying illicit drugs for a fix from a street dealer. Do you not see how callous that sounds?
Thanks for this Mr. J—Agree 100%.

My natural instinct is to be repelled by shifting responsibility for bad choices, but I have to disagree with you on this one. Of the addicts I have personally known, all of them started from prescriptions by doctors after accidents or surgery. How many crackheads were given massive amounts of cocaine by their doctor? This was a deliberately created epidemic, and those responsible need to be held to account.
Are we victims too now? We are our own worst enemies, as a group and as individuals. I will not be a victim to basketball Americans or spawn of Shylock. I have agency. I have self-discipline. And I have a wife and five strong children just like me. We self-educate. We work hard. We trust our own eyes and our own minds. We are skeptical. We are invisible to the mass media, but they feel our presence. Nobody put drugs in our hands. Natural selection is a bitch. Nut up buttercup. It’s going to be a bumpy ride!
Hmm… This is not entirely without merit. I remember back in the mid-2000s white Americans on drug forums relating how they were going out of their way to obtain pharmaceutical opiates, both through prescriptions and kitchen chemistry. However, there is unquestionable evidence that the Saklers did push opioids on otherwise naive white people who didn’t know any better. Morphine sells itself pretty well, but you have to use it for some time until you get hooked. I’d say that a large majority of the victims of the opioid epidemic were honest people who unwittingly started out for legitimate medical reasons to end up getting addicted. And who made those medical reasons “legitimate”? Human-shaped cancer cells like the Saklers, who, in a sense became part of a pathology. Funny enough, these creatures made themselves literally, not just metaforically, a disease.
