Money By ERIKA KINETZ Associated Press SHANGHAI — This summer, carfentanil — one of the most potent opioids on the planet — hit the streets of North America. Many users who thought they were taking heroin actually injected or snorted a substance that has until recently been viewed as a chemical weapon. First responders pumped hundreds of dying, bluish people full of the antidote naloxone to try to make them breathe again. Legally used as a tranquil- izer for large animals like bears and elephants, carfentanil is so potent that an amount smaller than a poppy seed can kill a person. How such a toxic substance made its way into global narcotics supply chains is a matter of economics, and desperation. Carfentanil is 100 times more potent than fentanyl, a related drug that increasingly has been mixed into narcotics such as heroin. But carfentanil is only slightly more expensive than fentanyl, and it can be cut into much larger volumes, Royal Canadian Mounted Police via AP In this June 27 photo provided by the Royal Canadian Mount- ed Police, a member of the RCMP opens a printer ink bottle containing the opioid carfentanil imported from China, in Vancouver. Drug dealers have been cutting carfentanil and its weaker cousin, fentanyl, into heroin and other illicit drugs to boost proit margins. creating stronger, cheaper highs. “There’s an advantage to the drug distributor: They make more money,” said Russell Baer, a special agent at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administra- tion in Washington. Addicts, meanwhile, “want the best high at the cheapest price and they’re willing to take whatever risks are involved,” he said. Carfentanil is typically sold as a powder. Mixing it poorly into other drugs can create lethal hotspots of concentrated carfentanil, presenting enor- mous risks for users.

Governments researched fentanyls as weapons SHANGHAI (AP) — Before appearing in global narcotics supply chains , fentanyl and substances like it were viewed as potential chemical weapons. Scientists struggled to igure out how to package the chemicals so that they would incapacitate but not kill targets. Some highlights of those efforts: UNITED STATES Research into fentanyl as an incapacitating agent began in the 1960s and, by the 1980s, scientists were testing primates with aerosolized carfentanil, according to Neil Davison, author of “’Non-Lethal’ Weapons.” In 1997, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, working under a Department of Justice contract, reported on a novel system for delivering less-than-lethal doses of fentanyl. They designed and tested guns loaded with small felt pads soaked with a fentanyl-based solution. They also considered developing paintball-type projectiles. In 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency was worried enough about fentanyl and carfentanil being used by terrorists that it published instructions for taking samples of the substances, including from drinking water, following “homeland security events.” CHINA A People’s Liberation Army soldier was photographed in 2011 holding a “narcosis” gun, designed to inject targets with a liquid incapacitating agent, according to Michael Crowley, a chemical weapons expert at the University of Bradford. Two state-backed companies that marketed the guns never speciied which chemical agent would be used as ammunition, but Crowley said it “might very well be fentanyl or an analog of fentanyl.” One advertisement for the guns praised their “excellent silence” and “easy schlepping.” Scientists from a People’s Liberation Army school called the Institute of Chemical Defense also have published research on fentanyls. “These compounds are of great importance to criminalistics and countering terrorism,” they said in a 2011 paper. RUSSIA Russian special forces used carfentanil, along with the less potent remifentanil, to subdue Chechen separatists who took more than 800 people hostage in a Moscow theater in 2002, according to a paper by British government scientists who tested clothing and urine samples from three survivors. The tactic worked, but more than 120 hostages died from the effects of the chemicals. Others suffered lasting health effects. The British paper also cited a book written by a Russian general who directed a military chemical institute, which described fentanyls as delivering “a knock-out blow” to subjects within minutes. Tribe offers pipeline protesters a place to overwinter BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Standing Rock Sioux’s tribal council has voted to make tribal land available for those protesting the Dakota Access oil pipeline, though an organizer from another tribe says many of the several hundred gathered will remain on federal land without a permit. The council voted 8-5 Tuesday to use the reserva- tion land — which is about two miles south of the large Oceti Sakowin, or Seven Council Fires, camp on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property — so permanent structures can be built to protect protesters from North Dakota’s notoriously brutal winter weather. “The cold is coming and the snow is coming,” tribal chairman Dave Archambault II said Wednesday. “It makes sense to be proactive and not reactive.” But the offer is too late, AP Photo/James MacPherson, File In this Aug. 25 ile photo, people protesting the construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline gath- er at a campground near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota. The Standing Rock Sioux’s tribal council voted Tuesday to make tribal land available for those protesting the oil pipeline. said Cody Hall, a protest organizer who is part of the Cheyenne River Sioux tribe in South Dakota. “Some people might move but I don’t think the majority of them will,” Hall said of the camp’s population, which averages 500 to 700 people, though it sometimes swells to well over a thousand at times. “The (Standing Rock) tribe sat on its heels too long and people started losing faith.” Archambault countered that it took time to identify an appropriate spot for a new encampment on the 2.3 million-acre reservation that straddles North Dakota and South Dakota. The camp, which is the overlow from smaller private and permitted protest sites nearby, began growing in August and at one point was called the largest gathering of Native American tribes in a century. All were there to protest Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners’ $3.8 billion pipeline, which tribal oficials believe threatens sacred sites and the Missouri River, which is a source of water for millions. Protesters do not have a federal permit to be on the corps’ land, but the federal agency had said it wouldn’t evict them due to free speech reasons. Authorities have criticized that decision, saying the site has been a launching point for protests at construc- tion sites in the area; about 140 people who have been charged in recent weeks with interfering with such work. Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said he supports moving the camp to the reservation because the protesters are currently trespassing on federal land. “It is a good move and gesture ... by the council to make that decision to try to get those individuals back onto tribal land,” he said. In preparation for the winter, protesters have stockpiled mountains of irewood, winterized wall tents and set up traditional teepees and wigwams, Hall said, adding that his tribe will bear the costs of maintaining portable toilets, something the Standing Rock tribe has done in the past. Corps spokeswoman Eileen Williamson said the agency supports the Standing Rock Sioux’s decision to make tribal land available. 10/20 Cineplex Show Times $5 Classic Movie 10/26/16 DIRTY HARRY The Accountant (R) 4:10 7:00 9:50 Deepwater Horizon (PG13) 4:20 6:40 9:30 Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (PG13) 2D 7:20* 3D 4:30 Masterminds (PG13) 10:00 The Girl on the Train (R) 4:40 7:10 9:40 The Magnifi cent Seven (PG13) 4:00 6:50 10:00 Credit & Debit Cards accepted Cineplex gift cards available * Matinee Pricing wildhorseresort.com 541-966-1850 Pendleton, OR I-84 - Exit 216
