Antigovernment flyers contaminated with opioid found on police cars

Antigovernment flyers contaminated with a deadly drug have been found on several sheriff's patrol cars in Houston, prompting a public warning.  

The flyers appear to be linked to an antigovernment conspiracy group, which claims the “deep state,” through the FBI and CIA, is using microwaves in an experimental, government-torture and tracking program aimed at individuals.    

The ultimate goal of this program is to control the entire global population,” the group claims on its web site.

The Arizona-based organization, blaming the “deep state” on a Jewish conspiracy, claims it has 500 members. It is identified on flyers tucked under windshield wipers of Harris County sheriff’s vehicles.  Authorities have confirmed the flyers were contaminated with the deadly opioid, Fentanyl.

A sheriff’s sergeant require medical treatment after touching a flyer found underneath the windshield wipers of several patrol vehicles Tuesday afternoon at 601 Lockwood, KTRK-TV reported.

“She picked it up and didn't think anything of it but as she drove to her destination she began feeling a little bit lightheaded and having a few other symptoms,” Sheriff Ed Gonzalez told the Houston television station.

That prompted authorities to warn the public to not touch flyers they may find on their vehicles and to immediately report the matter to police.

No arrests have been made.

A quick investigation by Hatewatch revealed the contents of the contaminated flyers found in Houston match .pdf files available for download on the conspiracy group’s web site.

The same site includes another download file from the late Ted Gunderson, a one-time FBI agent who made a livelihood by promoting conspiracy theories after his retirement. Among other wild-eyed conspiracy theories, he claimed “the CIA and FBI are behind most, if not all terrorism.”
