We Poisoned Our Community to Make Cases.

THE DEA WAS RUNNING THE DRUG SUPPLY

Dear Reader,

They ran a campaign. “One Pill Can Kill.” Billboards. Press conferences. Full-page ads in newspapers across the country.

While that campaign was running, their own agents were letting fentanyl walk.

1.8 MILLION PILLS. Into New Mexico communities. On purpose. To build bigger cases against the cartels.

David Howell is a 19-year DEA veteran. A former Navy officer. He was there. He watched. Here are his exact words:

“We poisoned our community to make cases. Through our own willful blindness, we get to say, ‘We don’t really know what happened to the drugs.’ But we 100% got people killed.”

He filed a whistleblower complaint. It reached the White House in September 2025. It sat there for nine months. AP found it last week.

IN TODAY’S ISSUE

• How 1.8 million pills walked out the door with DEA approval, and the document that made it legal.

• The 15-month-old who died in Española, New Mexico, and the federal investigation that called it a “reasonable decision.”

• Alan Greenspan is dead at 100. The man who built the fake money machine is gone. What his successor now has to choose.

• Jim Rickards: The $2 gold stock Trump is about to stake a claim in. Act before June 30.

Here is what the DEA says about it.

“Public descriptions suggesting that DEA knowingly permitted fentanyl to reach communities are false and fundamentally mischaracterize the facts.”

Right. Here are the facts.

June 2023. Albuquerque, New Mexico. DEA agents watched a transaction. 74,000 pills changed hands. They did not move. Howell put it plainly: “Providing one fentanyl pill to each person at a football stadium.”

They kept watching:

1.  Early 2024. 150,000 pills. Not seized.

2.  Early 2024. 50,000 more. Not seized.

3.  Total across the investigation: at least 1.8 million pills. A former DEA supervisor said the amount they ultimately seized “was hitting the streets every month while that case was going on.”

A 15-month-old toddler in Española, New Mexico died after ingesting fentanyl residue. Howell flagged it in his complaint. The DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility investigated. Conclusion: “reasonable decisions.” No wrongdoing found.

Here is the document that should anger every American.

In 2017, DOJ fentanyl protocols were clear: seize fentanyl “as soon as practicable.” Protecting public safety is “paramount.”

In 2024, they quietly rewrote those protocols. No announcement. No vote. No press release. The new rules gave agents “discretion” to weigh public safety against “the benefits of preserving the investigation.”

They put American lives on a cost-benefit spreadsheet. In private.

This has a name. In 2011, the ATF ran Operation Fast and Furious. 2,000 assault rifles walked into Mexico to build trafficking cases. Two of those guns showed up at the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. That scandal drove years of congressional hearings.

This is bigger. Fentanyl kills in 2 milligrams.

New Mexico’s overdose deaths spiked 21% while national deaths fell 14%.

The cartel was the government.

Now sit with this before I continue.

The same bureaucratic logic. The same quiet protocol rewrites in the dark. The same “some harm is acceptable for a bigger objective” calculus.

I have heard that exact logic from every Federal Reserve chairman since 1987. “Some pain is necessary.” “Temporary dislocation.” “Transitory.”

Alan Greenspan died yesterday. The man who gave that logic its intellectual cover for 18 years.

What his death means for your savings is next.

Alan Greenspan was 100 years old. He died in Washington.

The newspapers are calling him the “Maestro.” The Fed issued a statement about “credibility” and “sustained price stability.” His wife called him a “giant of a man.”

Here is what I know about Greenspan.

He built the fake money machine. 18 years as Fed Chair. He cut rates every time markets coughed. He told Congress that financial markets would regulate themselves. He believed it.

Then 2008 happened. He sat in front of Congress and said, “I found a flaw.” The entire system he built blew up the global economy. Millions lost their homes.

He lived to 100. Millions lost their homes at 50.

Now Kevin Warsh is Fed Chair. He faces the choice Greenspan never had to make cleanly: defend the dollar OR defend the bond market. You cannot do both.

Luke Gromen said it last week: the dollar FAILED to rally on the Iran energy shock. When oil prices fall and the dollar does not rise, something is broken. Goldman Sachs just cut their 12-month recession odds to 15%. They said the same thing in summer 2023. Then raised those odds to 35% by spring 2025.

Gold is at $4,135 today. Down from $5,598 in January. This is not a loss. This is a gift. The physical market is pricing something Goldman’s model cannot see.

Silver is at $62.96. Down from $121.67 in January. The gold-silver ratio is 63. Silver has corrected nearly 50% from its January peak. My target remains $200.

The DEA let fentanyl walk for “bigger cases.” The Fed prints money for “price stability.” Same logic. Same machine. Same result: communities destroyed, savings eroded, no one held accountable.

HARD ASSETS ARE THE EXIT. They have always been the exit. The government cannot debase gold. It cannot print silver.

I have been saying this for 50 years. I said it before 2008. I said it before 2020. I am saying it now.

The bureaucrats will keep rewriting their protocols in the dark. Let them.

You know what to do.

To your freedom, Robert Kiyosaki

P.S. The same bureaucratic machine that quietly rewrote fentanyl protocols to let communities die for bigger cases is the machine managing your monetary system. Jim Rickards has spent 40 years inside that system. He knows what the Treasury is planning next.
