Police smash a Europe-wide synthetic drug ring in the biggest bust yet.

The year-long crackdown, announced on Wednesday by Europol, saw officers take down 24 industrial-scale laboratories and seize roughly 1 000 tonnes of chemicals used to produce street drugs including MDMA, amphetamine and methamphetamine.

@robcinos
Is that what they’re taking (it had to be something because their behaviour is so… peculiar): “ICE agents on meth and coke is just wrong.”
For the German Nazis of WWII it was amphetamines (‘Pervitin’), so a similarity (meth = methamphetamine; or?). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_policy_of_Nazi_Germany makes interesting reading, drug use as a tool of the state; Time has an interesting article too [https://time.com/5752114/nazi-military-drugs/] but I first learned about it in a pretty solidly researched book by Ohler, titled Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich; more details following). 1/2

The Austrian guy with the weird mustache was on an absolute cocktail, morning, noon & night, all by needle, so some jollies there too. This was at the bunker end, so probably similar for orange.

…

“German novelist Norman Ohler hears a story from a Berlin DJ friend Alexander Kramer: old WWII veterans have told tales of being out of their minds on drugs during combat. Kramer asks, "Do you know the massive role drugs played in National Socialism?" Ohler sets off to investigate and the result is "Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich," a compelling piece of serious scholarship that offers a comprehensive view of drugs in Nazi Germany that professional historians seem to have missed.”
