to show that organized society is helpless in the face of such violence and thirdly to bring
about a recognition of the fact that our social order is collapsing. The present wave of
gang violence will go away just as quickly as it started, once the three phases of the
Stanford program are completed.
An outstanding example of social conditioning to accept change, even when it is
recognized as unwelcome change by the large population group in the sights of Stanford
Research Institute, was the “advent” of the BEATLES. The Beatles were brought to the
United States as part of a social experiment which would subject large population groups
to brainwashing of which they were not even aware.
When Tavistock brought the Beatles to the United States nobody could have imagined
the cultural disaster that was to follow in their wake. The Beatles were an integral part of
“THE AQUARIAN CONSPIRACY,” a living organism which sprang From “THE
CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN,” URH (489)-2150-Policy Research Report No. 4/4/74.
Policy Report pre-pared by SRI Center for the study of Social Policy, Director, Professor
Willis Harmon.
The phenomenon of the Beatles was not a spontaneous rebellion by youth against the old
social system. Instead it was a carefully crafted plot to introduce by a conspiratorial body
which could not be identified, a highly destructive and divisive element into a large
population group targeted for change against its will. New words and new phrases–
prepared by Tavistock– were introduced to America along with the Beatles. Words such
as “rock” in relation to music sounds, “teenager,” “cool,” “discovered” and “pop music”
were a lexicon of disguised code words signifying the acceptance of drugs and arrived
with and accompanied the Beatles wherever they went, to be “discovered” by
“teenagers.” Incidentally, the word “teenagers” was never used until just before the
Beatles arrived on the scene, courtesy of the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations.
As in the case of gang wars, nothing could or would have been accomplished without the
cooperation of the media, especially the electronic media and, in particular, the scurrilous
Ed Sullivan who had been coached by the conspirators as to the role he was to play.
Nobody would have paid much attention to the motley crew from Liverpool and the 12-
atonal system of “music” that was to follow had it not been for an overabundance of press
exposure. The 12-atonal system consisted of heavy, repetitive sounds, taken from the
music of the cult of Dionysus and the Baal priesthood by Adorno and given a “modern”
flavor by this special friend of the Queen of England and hence the Committee of 300.
Tavistock and its Stanford Research Center created trigger words which then came into
general usage around “rock music” and its fans. Trigger words created a distinct new
break-away largely young population group which was persuaded by social engineering
and conditioning to believe that the Beatles really were their favorite group. All trigger
words devised in the context of “rock music” were designed for mass control of the new
targeted group, the youth of America.
The Beatles did a perfect job, or perhaps it would be more correct to say that Tavistock
and Stanford did a perfect job, the Beatles merely reacting like trained robots “with a
little help from their friends”–code words for using drugs and making it “cool.” The
Beatles became a highly visible “new type”– more Tavistock jargon–and as such it was
not long before the group made new styles (fads in clothing, hairstyles and language
usage) which upset the older generation, as was intended. This was part of the
“fragmentation-maladaptation” process worked out by Willis Harmon and his team of
social scientists and genetic engineering tinkerers and put into action.
The role of the print and electronic media in our society is crucial to the success of
brainwashing large population groups. Gang wars ended in Los Angeles in 1966 as the
media withdrew its coverage. The same thing will happen with the current wave of gang
wars in Los Angeles. Street gangs will wither on the vine once media saturation coverage
is toned down and then completely withdrawn. As in 1966, the issue would become
“burned out.” Street gangs will have served their purpose of creating turbulence and
insecurity. Exactly the same pattern will be followed in the case of “rock” music.
Deprived of media attention, it will eventually take its place in history.
Following the Beatles, who incidentally were put together by the Tavistock Institute,
came other “Made in England” rock groups, who, like the Beatles, had Theo Adorno
write their cult lyrics and compose all the “music.” I hate to use these beautiful words in
the context of “Beatlemania”; it reminds me of how wrongly the word “lover” is used
when referring to the filthy interaction between two homosexuals writhing in pigswill. To
call “rock” music, is an insult, likewise the language used in “rock lyrics.”
Tavistock and Stanford Research then embarked on the second phase of the work
commissioned by the Committee of 300. This new phase turned up the heat for social
change in America. As quickly as the Beatles had appeared on the American scene, so
too did the “beat generation,” trigger words designed to separate and fragment society.
The media now focused its attention on the “beat generation.” Other Tavistock-coined
words came seemingly out of nowhere: “beatniks,” “hippies,” “flower children” became
part of the vocabulary of America. It became popular to “drop out” and wear dirty jeans,
go about with long unwashed hair. The “beat generation” cut itself off from main-stream
America. They became just as infamous as the cleaner Beatles before them.
The newly-created group and its “lifestyle” swept millions of young Americans into the
cult. American youth underwent a radical revolution without ever being aware of it, while
the older generation stood by helplessly, unable to identify the source of the crisis, and
thus reacting in a maladaptive manner against its manifestation, which were drugs of all
types, marijuana, and later Lysergic acid, “LSD,” so conveniently provided for them by
the Swiss pharmaceutical company, SANDOZ, following the discovery by one of its
chemists, Albert Hoffman, how to make synthetic ergotamine, a powerful mind-altering
drug. The Committee of 300 financed the project through one of their banks, S. C.
Warburg, and the drug was carried to America by the philosopher, Aldous Huxley.
The new “wonder drug” was promptly distributed in “sample” size packages, handed out
free of charge on college campuses across the United States and at “rock” concerts, which
became the leading vehicle for proliferating the use of drugs. The question that cries out
for an answer is, what was the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) doing at the time?
There is compelling circumstantial evidence that would appear to indicate that the DEA
knew what was going on but was ordered not to take any action.
With very substantial numbers of new British “rock” bands arriving in the U.S., rock
concerts began to become a fixture on the social calender of American youth. In tandem
with these “concerts,” the use of drugs among the youth rose in proportion. The devilish
bedlam of discordant heavy beat sounds numbed the minds of listeners so that they were
easily persuaded to try the new drug on the basis that “everybody is doing it.” Peer
pressure is a very strong weapon. The “new culture” received maximum coverage from
the jackal media, which cost the conspirators not one single thin dime.
Great anger was felt by a number of civic leaders and churchmen over the new cult but
their energies were misdirected against the RESULT of what was going on and not
against the CAUSE. Critics of the rock cult made the same mistakes that had been made
in the prohibition era, they criticized law enforcement agencies, teachers, parents
anybody but the conspirators.
Because of the anger and resentment I feel toward the great drug plague, I make no
apology for using language which is not customary for me to use. One of the worst drug
slobs ever to walk the streets of America was Alan Ginsberg. This Ginsberg pushed the
use of LSD through advertising which cost him nothing, although under normal
circumstances it would have cost millions of dollars in TV advertising revenues. This free
advertising for drugs, and LSD in particular, reached a new high in the late 1960’s, thanks
to the ever-willing cooperation of the media. The effect of Ginsberg’s mass advertising
campaign was devastating; the American public was subjected to one cultural future
shock after another in rapid succession.
We became over-exposed and over stimulated and, again, may I remind you that this is
Tavistock jargon, lifted from the Tavistock training manual, overwhelmed by its new
development and, when we reached that point, our minds began to lapse into apathy; it
was just too much to cope with, that is to say, “long range penetration had taken hold of
us.” Ginsberg claimed to be a poet but no greater rubbish was ever written by anyone
who ever aspired to becoming a poet. Ginsberg’s designated task had little to do with
poetry; his main function was to push the new subculture and force acceptance of it upon
the large targeted population group.
To assist him in his task, Ginsberg coopted the services of Norman Mailer, a writer of
sorts who had spent some time in a mental institution. Mailer was a favorite of the
leftwing Hollywood crowd and so had no problem with getting maximum television time
for Ginsberg. Naturally Mailer had to have a pretext– not even he could blatantly come
out with the true nature of Ginsberg’s television appearances. So a charade was adopted:
Mailer would talk “seriously” on camera with Ginsberg about poetry and literature.
This method of getting wide television coverage at no cost to themselves was followed by
every rock group and concert promoter who followed the example set by Ginsberg. The
electronic media moguls had big hearts when it came to giving free time to these dirty
verminous creatures and their even dirtier products and filthy ideas. Their promotion of
horrible garbage spoke volumes and, without abundant help from the print and electronic
media, the drug trade could not have spread as rapidly as it did in the late 1960’s-early
197O’s, and probably would have been confined to a few small local areas.
Ginsberg was able to give several nationally televised performances extolling the virtues
of LSD and marijuana, under the guise of “new ideas” and “new cultures” developing in
the art and music world. Not to be outdone by the electronic media, Ginsberg’s admirers
wrote glowing articles about “this colorful man” in the art and social columns of all of
America’s largest newspapers and magazines. There had never been such an across-the
media-board free advertising campaign in the history of newspaper, radio and television
and it cost the promoters of the Aquarian conspiracy, NATO and the Club of Rome not
one red cent. It was all absolutely free advertising for LSD, only thinly disguised as “art”
and “culture.”
One of Ginsberg’s closest friends, Kenny Love, published a Five-page report in the New
York Times. This is in accordance with the methodology used by Tavistock and Stanford
Research: If something is to be promoted which the public has not yet been fully
brainwashed to accept, then have someone write an article, covering all sides of the
subject matter. The other method is to have live television talk shows in which a panel of
experts promotes the product and or idea under the pretext of “discussing”, it. There are
point and counter-point, both pro and con participants airing their support or opposition.
When it is all over, the subject to be promoted has been dinned into the public mind.
While this was new in the early 1970’s, today it is standard practice on which talk shows
thrive.
Love’s Five-page pro LSD pro Ginsberg article was duly printed by the New York Times.
Had Ginsberg tried to buy the same amount of space in an advertisement, it would have
cost him at least $50,000. But Ginsberg didn’t have to worry; thanks to his Friend Kenny
Love, Ginsberg got the massive advertising all for free. With newspapers like the New
York Times and the Washington Post under the control of the Committee of 300, this
kind of free advertising is given to any subject matter, and more especially to those
promoting decadent life styles–drugs-hedonism– anything that will confuse the
American people. After the trial run with Ginsberg and LSD, it became standard Club of
Rome practice to call upon major newspapers in America to give free advertising on
demand to people and ideas they were promoting.
Worse yet–or better yet, depending upon the viewpoint– United Press (UP) picked up
Kenny Love’s free advertising for Ginsberg and LSD and telexed it to HUNDREDS of
newspa-pers and magazines around the country under the guise of a “news” story. Even
such highly respectable establishment magazines as “Harpers Bazaar” and “TIME” made
Mr. Ginsberg respectable. If a nation-wide campaign of this magnitude were presented to
Ginsberg and the promoters of LSD by an advertising agency, the price tag would have
run into at least $1 million in terms of 1970 dollars. Today the price tag would be nothing
less than $15-$16 million dollars. It is no wonder that I refer to the news media as
“jackals.”
I suggest that we try to find any media outlet to do an expose on the Federal Reserve
Board, which is what I did. I took my article, which was a good expose of the greatest
swindle on earth, to every major newspaper, radio and television station, magazine house
and several talk-show hosts. A few made promises that sounded good–they would
definitely air the article and have me discuss it–give them about a week and they would
get back to me. Not one of them ever did, nor did my article ever appear in the pages of
their newspapers and journals. It was as if a blanket of silence had been thrown over me
and the subject I was endeavoring to promote, and indeed that was precisely what had
happened.
Without massive media hype, and without almost around the clock coverage, the hippybeatnik
rock, drug cult would never have gotten off the ground; it would have remained a
localized oddity. The Beatles, with their twanging guitars, silly expressions, drug
language and weird clothes, would not have amounted to a hill of beans. Instead, because
the Beatles were given saturation coverage by the media, the United States has suffered
one cultural shock after another.
The men buried in the think tanks and research institutions, whose names and faces are
still not known to but a few people, made sure that the press played its part. Conversely,
the media’s important role in not exposing the power behind the future cultural shocks
made certain that the source of the crisis was never identified. Thus was our society
driven mad through psychological shocks and stress. “Driven mad” is taken from
Tavistock’s training manual. From its modest beginnings in 1921, Tavistock was ready in
1966 to launch a major irreversible cultural revolution in America, which has not yet
ended. The Aquarian Conspiracy is part of it.
Thus softened up, our nation was now deemed ripe for the introduction of drugs which
was to rival the prohibition era in scope and the huge amounts of money to be made. This
too was an integral part of the Aquarian Conspiracy. The proliferation of drug usage was
one of the subjects under study at the Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU) at
Tavistock’s Sussex University facility. It was known as the “future shocks” center, a title
given to so-called future oriented psychology designed to manipulate whole population
groups to induce “future shocks.” It was the first of several such institutions set up by
Tavistock.
“Future shocks” is described as a series of events which come so fast that the human
brain cannot absorb the information. As I said earlier, science has shown that there are
clearly marked limits to the amount of changes and the nature of them that the mind can
deal with. After continuous shocks, the large targeted population group discovers that it
does not want to make choices any more. Apathy takes over, often preceded by mindless
violence such as is characteristic of the Los Angeles street gangs, serial killers, rapists
and child kidnapers.
Such a group becomes easy to control and will docilely follow orders without rebelling,
which is the object of the exercise. “Future shocks,” says SPRU, “is defined as physical
and psychological distress arising from the excess load on the decision-making
mechanism of the human mind.” That is Tavistock jargon lifted straight from Tavistock
manuals–which they don’t know I have.
Just as an overloaded electrical circuit will activate a trip switch, so do humans “trip out,”
which is a syndrome that medical science is only now beginning to understand, although
John Rawlings Reese conducted experiments in this field as far back as the 1920’s. As
can be appreciated, such a targeted group is ready to “trip out” and take to drugs as a
means of escape from the pressures of so many choices having to be made. This is how
Drug usage was spread so rapidly through America’s “beat generation.” What started with
the Beatles and sample packages of LSD has grown into a flood-tide of drug usage which
is swamping America.
The drug trade is controlled by the Committee of 300 from the Top down. The drug trade
started with the British East India Company and was closely followed by the Dutch East
India Company. Both were controlled by a “Council of 300.” The list of names of
members and stockholders of the BEIC read like something out of Debretts Peerage.
BEIC established the “China Inland Mission,” whose job it was to get The Chinese
peasants, or coolies, as they were called, addicted to opium. This created the market for
opium which the BEIC then filled.
In much the same way the Committee of 300 used “The “Beatles” to popularize “social
drugs” with the youth of America and The Hollywood “in-crowd.” Ed Sullivan was sent
to England To become acquainted with The first Tavistock Institute “rock group” to hit
the shores of the United States. Sullivan then returned to the United States to draft the
strategy for the electronic media on how to package and sell the group. Without the full
cooperation of the electronic media and Ed Sullivan, in particular, “The Beatles” and their
“music” would have died on the vine. Instead, our national life and the character of the
United States was forever changed.
Now that we know, it is all too clear how successful the “Beatles” campaign to proliferate
the use of drugs became. The fact that “The Beatles” had their music and lyrics written
for them by Theo Adorno was concealed from public view. The prime function to “The
Beatles” was to be discovered by teenagers, who where then subjected to a non-stop
barrage of “Beatle music,” until they became convinced that they liked the sound and
adopted it, along with all that accompanied it. The Liverpool group performed up to
expectations, and with “a little help from their friends,” i.e., illegal substances we call
drugs created a whole new class to young Americans in the precise mold ordained by the
Tavistock Institute.
Tavistock had created a highly visible “new type” to act as their drug-runners. The China
Inland Mission “Christian missionaries” would not have fitted in with the 1960’s. “New
type” is social-science scientist jargon; what it meant was that the Beatles created new
social patterns, first and foremost being to normalize and popularize the use of drugs,
new tastes in clothes and hair styles which really distinguished them from the older
generation as was intended by Tavistock.
It is important to note the deliberate fragmentation-inducing language used by Tavistock.
The “teenagers” never once dreamed that all the “different” things they aspired to were
the product of older scientists working in think tanks in England and Stanford Research.
How mortified they would have been if they had discovered that most of their “cool”
habits and expressions were deliberately created for their use by a group of older social
science scientists!
The role of the media was, and remains, very important in promoting the use of drugs on
a nation-wide scale. When coverage of the street warfare gangs was abruptly terminated
by the media, they became “burned out” as a social phenomena; the “new age” of drugs
followed. The media has always served as a catalyst and has always pushed “new causes”
and now media attention was focused on drug usage and its supporters, the “beat
generation,” yet another phrase fashioned at Tavistock, in its determined efforts to bring
about social changes in The United States.
Drug usage now became an accepted part of everyday life in America. This Tavistockdesigned
program took in millions of American youth, and the older generation began to
believe that America was undergoing a natural social revolution, failing all the while to
realize that what was happening to their children was not a spontaneous movement, but a
highly artificial creation designed to force changes in America’s social and political life.
The descendants of the British East India Company were delighted with the success of
their drug pushing program. Their disciples became adept in the use of lysergic acid
(LSD) so conveniently made available by patrons of the drug trade like Aldous Huxley,
courtesy of the highly respected Sandoz company of Switzerland and financed by the
great Warburg banking dynasty. The new “wonder drug” was promptly distributed at all
rock concerts and on college campuses in free sample packages. The question that begs to
be asked is, “What was the FBI doing while all this was going on?”
The purpose of the Beatles had become abundantly clear. The British East India
Company’s descendants in the upper-class society in London must have felt very good
about the billions of dollars that began rolling in. With the coming of “rock” which shall
henceforth be used as shorthand to describe Adorno’s fiendish satanic music, a
tremendous increase in the use of social drugs, especially marijuana, was observed. The
entire dope business was expanded under the control and direction of the Science Policy
Research Unit (SPRU).
SPRU was run by Leland Bradford, Kenneth Damm and Ronald Lippert, under whose
expert guidance a large number of new-science scientists were trained to promote “future
shocks,” one of the chief being the dramatic increase in the use of drugs by America’s
teenagers. SPRU’s policy papers, planted in various government agencies, including the
Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), dictated the course of the disastrous “drug war”
allegedly waged by the Reagan and Bush Administrations. This was the forerunner of
how the United States is run today, by one committee and/or council after another, by an
inner-government fed on Tavistock papers which they firmly believe are their own
opinions. These virtual unknowns are making decisions that will forever change our form
of govern-ment and the quality of life here in the United States. Through “crisis
adaptation” we have already been changed so much as to barely compare with what we
were in the 1950’s. Also, our environment has been changed.
There is much talk about environment these days and, while it mostly refers to green
surroundings, pure rivers and fresh air, there is another, equally important environment,
namely, the drug environment. The environment of our life style has become polluted;
our thinking has become polluted. Our ability to control our destiny has become polluted.
We are confronted by changes that pollute our thinking to the extent that we do not know
what to make of it all. The “Environment of Change” is crippling the nation; we appear to
have so little control that it has produced anxiety and confusion.
We now look to group solutions instead of individual solutions to our problems. We do
not make use of our own resources to solve problems. In this the prolific rise in drug
usage is playing a leading role. The strategy is a deliberate one, devised by the newscience
scientists, the social engineers and tinkerers, aimed at the most vulnerable of all
areas, our self-image, or how we perceive ourselves, which leads us eventually to become
like sheep being led to the slaughter. We have become confused by the many choices we
have to make, and we have become apathetic.
We are manipulated by unscrupulous men without ever being aware of it. This is
particularly true of the drug trade and we are now in the transition stage where we can be
set up for a change from the present constitutional form of government, which has taken a
giant step forward under the Bush administration. While there are those who still persist,
in the face of all of the evidence to the contrary in saying, “It can’t happen in America,”
the fact is: IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Our will to resist events not to our liking
has been steadily eroded and undermined. We will resist, some of us say, but not so many
of us will do that, and we will be in the minority.
The drug trade has insidiously changed our environment. The alleged “war on drugs” is a
farce; it does not exist in qualitative measure to make the slightest difference to the
descendants of the British East India Company. Combined with computerization, we are
almost fully brainwashed, robbed of our ability to resist forced changes. Which brings us
to another environment, PEOPLE CONTROL, also known as personal information
control, without which governments cannot play their numbers game.
As matters stand, we the people have absolutely no way of knowing just what
government does or does not know about us. Government computer files are not subject
to scrutiny by the public at large. Do we foolishly believe that personal information
sacrosanct? Remember, in every society there are rich and power-ful families who
control law enforcement agencies. I have proved the existence of such families. Do not
think that if these families wanted to find out about us, they could not do so. These are
the families who often have a member in the Committee of 300.
Take Kissinger, for instance, who has his own private dossiers on hundreds of thousands
of people, not only in the U.S. but all over the world. Are we on Kissinger’s enemy list?
Is this far fetched? Not at all. Take P2 Masonic and Committee Monte Carlo who have
such lists which run into tens of thousands of names. Incidentally, Kissinger is one of
them. There are other “private” intelligence agencies, such as INTEL, whom we shall
meet later.
One of the ways heroin is moved into Europe is through the Principality of Monaco. The
heroin comes from Corsica carried in ferries that ply a busy trade between Corsica and
Monte Carlo during the summer. There is no check of what goes on or comes off these
ferries. As there is no border between France and Monaco, drugs, and more especially
heroin (partly processed opium), flows through the open border of Monaco into
laboratories in France, or else if it has already been processed into heroin, it goes directly
to the distributors.
The Grimaldi family has been in the drug smuggling business for centuries. Because
Prince Ranier got greedy and began skimming heavily and would not desist after three
warnings, his wife, Princess Grace, was murdered in a car “accident.” Ranier
underestimated the power of the Committee of which he is a member. The Rover car in
which she was traveling had the brake fluid chambers tampered with in such a way that
each time the brakes were depressed, fluid was released in measured amount, until by the
time the car reached the most dangerous of several hairpin bends, there was no stopping
power, and it sailed over a stone wall, hitting the ground fifty feet below in a sickening
smash.
Everything possible was done by the Committee of 300 operatives to conceal the truth
about the murder of Princess Grace. To this day the Rover car remains in the custody of
French police, shrouded under a cover on a trailer which no one is allowed to approach,
let alone examine. The signal for the execution of Princess Grace was picked up by the
British Army listening post in Cyprus and it is believed by well placed source that the
Committee Monte Carlo and P2 gave the order.
The drug trade, controlled by the Committee of 300, is a crime against humanity, but
having been conditioned and softened up by years of incessant bombardment by
Tavistock Institute, we have more or less accepted our changed environment, regarding
the drug trade as a problem that is “too big” to handle. This is not the case. If we could
marshal an entire nation, equip and send millions of American soldiers to fight in a war in
Europe in which he had no business intervening, if we could defeat a major power, then
we can smash the drug trade, using the same WW II tactics. The logistical problems that
had to be solved when we entered the Second World War are even today still mindboggling.
Yet we successfully overcame all problems. Why then is it impossible to defeat a welldefined
enemy, far smaller and weaker than Germany, given the immensely improved
weapons and surveillance equipment we have today? The real reason that the drug
problem is not eradicated is because it is being run by the highest families in the entire
world as part of a coordinated gigantic money-making machine.
In 1930, British capital invested in South America greatly exceeded capital investment in
British “dominions.” Graham, an authority on British investments abroad, stated that
British investment in South America “exceeded one trillion pounds.” Remember, this was
1930, and one trillion pounds was a staggering sum of money in those days. What was
the reason for such heavy investment in South America? In a word it was drugs.
The plutocracy controlling British banks held the purse strings and then, as now, put up a
most respectable facade to cover their true business. No one ever caught them with
dirtied hands. They always had front men, even as they do today, willing to take the
blame if things went awry. Then as now the connections with the drug trade were tenuous
at best. No one was ever able to lay a finger on the respectable and “noble” banking
families of Britain, whose members are on the Committee of 300.
There is great significance in that only 15 members of Parliament were the controllers of
that vast empire, of which the most prominent were Sir Charles Barry and the
Chamberlain family. These overlords of finance were busy in places like Argentina,
Jamaica and Trinidad, which became big money-spinners for them through the drug
trade. In these countries, British plutocrats kept “the locals” as they were contemptuously
called, at bare subsistence levels, hardly above slavery. The fortunes extracted from the
drug trade in the Caribbean were vast.
The plutocrats hid behind faces like Trinidad Leaseholds Limited, but the REAL MEAT,
then as now, was drugs. This is true of today where we find that Jamaica’s Gross National
Product (GNP) is made up almost entirely of sales of ganja, a very potent form of
marijuana. The mechanism for handling the ganja trade was set up by David Rockefeller
and Henry Kissinger under the title “Caribbean Basin Initiative.”
Up until a relatively short time ago, the true history of the China opium trade was quite
unknown, having been as well covered up as it is possible to do. Many of my former
students in the days when I was lecturing, would come and ask me why the Chinese were
so fond of smoking opium? They were puzzled as are many still today, over contradictory
accounts of what had actually taken place in China. Most thought it was merely a case of
the Chinese workers buying opium on an open market and smoking it, or going to some
of the thousands of opium dens and forgetting their terrible existence for a while.
The truth is that the supply of opium to China was a British monopoly, an OFFICIAL
monopoly of the British government and official British policy. The Indo-British opium
trade in China was one of the best kept secrets, around which many misleading legends
grew up, such as “Clive of India” and the tales of derring-do by the British Army in India
for the glory of “the Empire,” so well written by Rudyard Kipling, and tales of “Tea
Clippers” racing across the oceans with their cargoes of China tea for the high society
drawing rooms of Victorian England. In reality, the history of British occupation of India
and Britain’s Opium Wars are some of the most dastardly blots on Western civilization.
Almost 13% of the income of India under British rule was derived from the sale of good
quality Bengal opium to the British-run opium distributors in China. “The Beatles” of the
day, the China Inland Mission, had done a great job in proliferating the use of opium
among the poor Chinese laborers (coolies, as they were called). These addicts did not
suddenly materialize out of thin air, any more than did teenager addicts in the U.S. THE
POINT TO REMEMBER IS THAT BOTH WERE CRE-ATED. In China a market for
opium was first created and then filled by opium for Bengal. In the same way, a market
for marijuana and LSD was first created in the United States by methods already
described, and then filled by British plutocrats and their American cousins with the help
of the overlords of the British banking establishment.
The lucrative drug trade is one of the worst examples of making money out of human
misery; the other being the legal drug trade run by the pharmaceutical drug houses under
Rockefeller ownership, in the U.S. for the most part, but with substantial companies
operating in Switzerland, France and Britain and fully backed by the American Medical
Association (AMA). The dirty dope transactions and the money it generates flows
through the City of London, together with Hong Kong, Dubai and latterly, Lebanon,
thanks to the invasion of that country by Israel.
There will be those who doubt this statement. “Look at this business columns of the
Financial Times,” they will tell us. “Don’t tell me that this is all related to drug money”?
OF COURSE IT IS, but don’t imagine for one minute that the noble lords and ladies of
England are going to advertise the fact. Remember the British East India Company?
Officially, its business was trading in tea!
The London “Times” never dared tell the British public the it was impossible to make
VAST PROFITS from tea, nor did the illustrious paper even hint at a trade in opium
being plied by those who spent their time in London’s fashionable clubs or playing a
chukka of polo at the Royal Windsor Club, or that the gentlemen officers who went out to
India in the service of the Empire were financed SOLELY by the enormous income
derived from the misery of the millions of Chinese coolies addicted to opium.
The trade was conducted by the illustrious British East India Company, whose meddling
in political, religious and economic affairs of the United States has cost us very dearly for
over 200 years. The 300 members of the British East India Company’s board were a cut
above the common herd. They were so mighty, as Lord Bertrand Russell once observed,
“They could even give God advice when he had trouble in Heaven.” Nor should we
imagine that anything has changed in the intervening years. EXACTLY the same attitude
prevails today among members of the Committee of 300, which is why they often refer to
themselves as the “Olympians.”
Later the British Crown, i.e., the Royal Family, joined the British East India Company’s
trade, and used it as a vehicle to produce opium in Bengal, and elsewhere in India,
controlling exports through what was called “transit duties,” that is, the Crown levied a
tax on all producers of opium duly registered with the state authority, who were sending
their opium to China.
Prior to 1896, when the trade was still “illegal”–a word used to extract greater tribute
from the producers of opium– there never having been the slightest attempt to stop the
trade, colossal amounts of opium were shipped out of India on board “China Tea
Clippers,” those sailing ships around which legend and lore were built, which supposedly
carried chests of tea from India and China to the London exchanges.
So audacious did the British East India Company lords and ladies become that they tried
to sell this lethal substance to the Union and Confederate Armies in pill form as a pain
killer. Is it difficult to imagine just what would have happened had their plan succeeded?
All those hundreds of thousands of soldiers would have left the battlefields totally hooked
on opium. “The Beatles” were much more successful in turning out millions of teenage
addicts in later years.
The Bengal merchants and their British controllers and bankers grew fat and intolerant on
the enormous amounts of money that poured into the coffers of the British East India
Company from the wretched Chinese coolies opium trade. BEIC profits, even in those
years, far exceeded the combined profits made in a single year by General Motors, Ford
and Chrysler in their heydays. The trend in making huge profits out of drugs was carried
over into the 1960’s by such “legal” drug death merchants as Sandoz, the makers of LSD
and Hoffman la Roche, manufacturers of Valium. The cost of the raw material and
manufacturing of Valium to Hoffman la Roche is $3 per kilo (2.2 pounds). It is sold to
their distributors for $20,000 per kilo. By the time it reaches the consumer, the price of
Valium has risen to $50,000 per kilo. Valium is used in huge quantities in Europe and the
United States. It is possibly the most used drug of its kind in the world.
Hoffman la Roche does the same thing with Vitamin C, which costs them less than 1 cent
a kilo to produce. It is sold for a profit of 10,000 percent. When a friend of mine blew the
whistle on this criminal company, which had entered into a monopoly agreement with
other producers, in contravention of European Economic Community laws, he was
arrested on the Swiss-Italian border and hustled into prison; his wife was threatened by
the Swiss police until she committed suicide. As a British national he was rescued by the
British consul in Berne as soon as word of his plight was received, removed from prison
and flown out of the country. He lost his wife, his job and his pension because he dared to
disclose Hoffman La Roche secrets. The Swiss take their Industrial Espionage law very
seriously.
Remember this the next time you see those lovely advertisements of Swiss ski slopes,
beautiful watches, pristine mountains and cuckoo clocks. That is not what Switzerland is
about. It is about dirty multi-billion dollar money laundering which is carried out by
major Swiss banking houses. It is about the Committee of 300 “legal” drug
manufacturers. Switzerland is the Committee’s ultimate “safe haven” for money and
protection of their bodies in time of global calamity.
Now mind you, one could get into serious trouble with the Swiss authorities for giving
out any information on these nefarious activities. The Swiss regard it as “industrial
espionage” which usually carries a 5-year term in prison. It is safer to pretend that
Switzerland is a nice clean country rather than look under the covers or inside its garbage
can banks.
In 1931 the managing directors of the so-called “big Five” British companies were
rewarded by being made Peers of the Realm for their activities in drug money laundering.
Who decided such matters and bestows such honors? It is the Queen of England who
bestows honors upon the men in the top positions in the drug trade. British banks engaged
in this terrible trade are too numerous to mention, but a few of the top ones are:
The British Bank of the Middle East.
Midland Bank.
National and Westminster Bank.
Barclays Bank.
Royal Bank of Canada.
Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank.
Baring Brothers Bank.
Many of the merchant banks are up to their hocks in pigswill drug trade profits, banks
such as Hambros for example, run by Sir Jocelyn Hambro. For a really interesting major
study of the Chinese opium trade, one would need access to India Office in London. I
was able to get in there because of my intelligence service and received great assistance
from the trustee of the papers of the late Professor Frederick Wells Williamson, which
provided much information on the opium trade carried on by the British East India
Company in India and China in the 18th and 19th centuries. If only those papers could be
made public, what a storm would burst over the heads of the crowned vipers of Europe.
Today the trade has shifted somewhat in that less expensive cocaine has taken over a
good part of the North American market. In the 1960’s the flood of heroin coming from
Hong Kong, Lebanon and Dubai threatened to engulf the United States and Western
Europe. When demand outpaced supply there was a switch to cocaine. But now, at the
end of 1991, that trend has been reversed; today it is heroin that is back in favor, although
it is true that cocaine still enjoys great favor among the poorer classes.
Heroin, we are told, is more satisfying to addicts; the effects are far more intense and last
longer than the effects of cocaine and there is less international attention on heroin
producers than there is on Colombian cocaine shippers. Besides which, it is hardly likely
that the U.S. would make any real effort to stop the production of opium in the Golden
Triangle which is under the control of the Chinese military, a serious war would erupt if
any country tried to interdict the trade. A serious attack on the opium trade would bring
Chinese military intervention.
The British know this; they have no quarrel with China, except for an occasional
squabble over who gets the larger share of the pie. Britain has been involved in the China
opium trade for over two centuries. No one is going to be so foolish as to rock the boat
when millions upon millions of dollars flow into the bank accounts of the British
oligarchists and more gold is traded on the Hong Kong gold market than the combined
total traded in London and New York.
Those individuals who fondly imagine they can do some kind of a deal with a minor
Chinese or Burmese overlord in the hills of the Golden Triangle apparently have no idea
of what is involved. If they had known, they would never have talked about stopping the
opium trade. Such talk reveals little knowledge of the immensity and complexity of
China’s opium trade, British plutocrats, the Russian KGB, the CIA, and U.S. bankers are
all in league with China. Could one man stop or even make a small dent in the trade? It
would be absurd to imagine it. What is heroin and why is it favored over cocaine these
days? According to the noted authority on the subject Professor Galen, heroin is a
derivative of opium, a drug that stupefies the senses and induces long periods of sleep.
This is what most addicts like, it is called “being in the arms of Morpheus.” Opium is the
most habit-forming drug known to man. Many pharmaceutical drugs contain opium in
various degrees, and it is believed that paper used in the manufacture of cigarettes is first
impregnated with opium, which is why smokers become so addicted to their habit.
The poppy seed from which it is derived was long known to the Moguls of India, who
used the seeds mixed in tea offered to a difficult opponent. It is also used as a pain-killing
drug which largely replaced chloroform and other older anesthetics of a bygone era.
Opium was popular in all of the fashionable clubs of Victorian London and it was no
secret that men like the Huxley brothers used it extensively. Members of the Orphic-
Dionysus cults of Hellenic Greece and the Osiris-Horus cults of Ptolemaic Egypt which
Victorian society embraced, all smoked opium; it was the “in” thing to do.
So did some of those who met at St. Ermins Hotel in 1903 to decide what sort of a world
we would have. The descendants of the St. Ermins crowd are found today in the
Committee of 300. It is these so-called world leaders who brought about such a change in
our environment that enabled drug usage to proliferate to the point where it can no longer
be stopped by regular law enforcement tactics and policies. This is especially true in big
cities where big populations can conceal a great deal of what transpires.
Many in the circles of royalty were regular opium users. One of their favorites was the
writer Coudenhove-Kalergi who wrote a book in 1932 entitled “REVOLUTION
THROUGH TECHNOLOGY” which was a blueprint for the return of the world to a
medieval society. The book, in fact, became a working paper for the Committee of 300’s
plan to deindustrialize the world, starting with the United States. Claiming that pressures
of over-population are a serious problem, Kalergi advised a return to what he called
“open spaces. ” Does this sound like the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot? Here are some
extracts from the book:
“In its facilities, the city of the future will resemble the city of the Middle Ages…and he
who is not condemned to live in a city because of his occupation, will go to the
countryside. Our civilization is a culture of the major cities; therefore it is a marsh plant,
born by degenerated, sickly and decadent people, who have voluntarily, or involuntarily,
ended up in this dead-end street of life.” Isn’t that very close to what “AnkarWat” gave as
“his” reasons for depopulating Phnom Penh?
The first opium shipments reached England from Bengal in 1683, carried in British East
India Company “Tea Clippers.” Opium was brought to England as a test, an experiment,
to see whether the common folk of England, the yeomen and the lower classes, could be
induced into taking the drug. It was what we could call today “test marketing” of a new
product. But the sturdy yeomen and the much derided “lower classes” were made of stern
stuff, and the test marketing experiment was a total flop. The “lower classes” of British
society firmly rejected opium smoking.
The plutocrats and oligarchists in high society in London began casting about for a
market that would not be so resistant, so unbending. They found such a market in China.
In the papers I studied at the India Office under the heading “Miscellaneous Old
Records,” I found all the confirmation I could have wished for in proving that the opium
trade in China really took off following the founding of the British East India Companyfunded
“China Inland Mission,” ostensibly a Christian missionary society but in reality
the “promotion” men and women for the new product being introduced into the market,
that new product being OPIUM.
This was later confirmed when I was given access to the papers of Sir George Birdwood
in India Office records. Soon after the China Inland Mission missionaries set out to give
away their sample packages and show the coolies how to smoke opium, vast quantities of
opium began to arrive in China. “The Beatles” could not have done a better job. (In both
cases the trade was sanctioned by the British royal family, who openly supported the
Beatles.) Where the British East India Company had failed in England, it now succeeded
beyond its wildest expectations in China, whose teeming millions of poor looked upon
smoking opium as an escape from their life of misery.
Opium dens began proliferating all across China, and in the big cities like Shanghai and
Canton, hundreds of thousands of miserable Chinese found that a pipe of opium
seemingly made life bearable. The British East India Company had a clear run for over a
100 years before the Chinese government woke up to what was happening. It was only in
1729 that the first laws against opium smoking were passed. The 300 board members of
BEIC did not like it one bit and, never one to back down, the company was soon engaged
in a running battle with the Chinese government.
The BEIC had developed poppy seeds that brought the finest quality opium from the
poppy fields of Benares and Bihar in the Ganges Basin in India, a country they fully
controlled this fetched top price, while the lower grades of opium from other areas of
India were sold for less. Not about to lose their lucrative market, the British Crown
engaged in running battles with Chinese forces, and defeated them. In the same manner,
the U.S. government is supposedly fighting a running battle against today’s drug barons
and, like the Chinese, are losing heavily. There is however one big difference: The
Chinese government fought to win whereas the United States government is under no
compunction to win the battle which explains why staff turnover n the Drug Enforcement
Agency (DEA) is so high.
Latterly, high grade quality opium has come out of Pakistan via Makra on the desolate
coastline of the country from whence ships take the cargo to Dubai where it is exchanged
for gold. This is said to account in part for heroin being favored over cocaine today. The
heroin trade is more discreet, there is no murder of prominent officials such as became an
almost daily occurrence in Colombia. Pakistani opium does not sell for as much as
Golden Triangle or Golden Crescent (Iranian ) opium. This has greatly spurred heroin
production and sales which threaten to overtake cocaine as the number one seller.
The vile opium trade was talked about in the upper-crust circles of English society for
many years as “the spoils of the Empire.” The tall tales of valor in the Khyber Pass
covered a vast trade in opium. The British Army was stationed in the Khyber Pass to
protect caravans carrying raw opium from being pillaged by hill tribesmen. Did the
British royal family know this? They must have, what else would induce the Crown to
keep an army in this region where there was nothing of much worth other than the
lucrative opium trade? It was very expensive to keep men under arms in a far away
country. Her Majesty must have asked why these military units were there? Certainly not
to play polo or billiards in the officers’ mess.
The BEIC was jealous of its monopoly in opium. Would-be competitors received short
shrift. In a noted trial in 1791, a certain Warren Hastings was put on charges that he
helped a Friend to get into the opium trade at the expense of the BEIC. The actual
wording which I found in the records of the case housed in India Office gives some
insight into the vast opium trade: “The charge is that Hastings has granted a contract for
the Provision of Opium for four years to Stephen Sullivan, without advertising for the
same, on terms glaringly obvious and wantonly profuse, for the purpose of creating an
INSTANT FORTUNE for the said William Sullivan Esq.” (Emphasis added.)
As the BEIC-British government held the monopoly in opium trading, the only people
allowed to make instant fortunes were the “nobility,” the “aristocracy,” the plutocrats and
oligarchical families of England, many of whose descendants sit on the Committee of 300
just as their forbears sat on the Council of 300 who ran the BEIC. Outsiders like Mr.
Sullivan soon found themselves in trouble with the Crown if they were so bold as to try
and help themselves get into the multi-billion pound Sterling opium business.
The honorable men of the BEIC with its list of 300 counselors were members of all the
famous gentlemen’s clubs in London and they were for the most part members of
parliament, while others, both in India and at home, were magistrates. Company
passports were required to land in China. When a few busybodies arrived in China to
investigate the British Crown’s involvement in the lucrative trade, BEIC magistrates
promptly revoked their passports, thus effectively denying them entry into China.
Friction with the Chinese government was common. The Chinese had passed a law, the
Yung Cheny Edict of 1729, forbidding the importation of opium, yet the BEIC managed
to keep opium as an entry in the Chinese Customs Tariff books until 1753, the duty being
three taels per chest of opium. Even when British special secret service (the 007 of the
day) saw to it that troublesome Chinese officials were bought off, and in cases where that
was not possible, they were simply murdered.
Every British monarch since 1729 has benefited immensely from the drug trade and this
holds good for the present occupant of the throne. Their ministers saw to it that wealth
flowed into their family coffers. One such minister of Victoria’s was Lord Palmerston. He
clung obstinately to the belief that nothing should be allowed to stop Britain’s opium
trade with China. Palmerston’s plan was to supply the Chinese government with enough
opium to make individual members become greedy. Then the British would withhold
supplies and when the Chinese government was on its knees, supplies would be resumed-
-but at a much higher price, thus retaining a monopoly through the Chinese government
itself, but the plan failed.
The Chinese government responded by destroying large cargoes of opium stored in
warehouses, and British merchants were required to sign INDIVIDUAL agreements not
to import any more opium into Canton. BEIC responded by sending scores of fullyloaded
opium carrying ships to lie in the roads of Macao. Companies beholden to BEIC,
rather than individuals, then sold these cargoes. Chinese Commissioner Lin said, “There
is so much opium on board English vessels now lying in the roads of this place (Macao)
which will never be returned to the country from which it came, and I shall not be
surprised to hear of its being smuggled in under American colors.” Lin’s prophecy
proved to be remarkably accurate.
The Opium Wars against China were designed to “put the Chinese in their place” as Lord
Palmerston once said, and the British Army did that. There was simply no stopping the
vast, lucrative trade which provided the British oligarchical feudal lords with untold
billions, while leaving China with millions of opium addicts. In later years the Chinese
appealed to Britain for help with their immense problem and received it. Thereafter
respective Chinese governments realized the value in cooperating instead of fighting with
Britain–and this held good during the bloody rule of Mao Tse Tung–so that today, as I
have already mentioned, any quarrels that come about are only over the share of the
opium trade each is entitled to.
To advance to more modern history, the Chinese-British partnership was solidified by the
Hong Kong agreement which established an equal partnership in the opium trade. This
has proceeded smoothly, with an occasional ripple here and there, but while violence and
death, robbery and murder marked the progression of the Colombian cocaine trade, no
such baseness was allowed to disturb the heroin trade, which, as I said earlier, is once
again coming into the ascendancy as we near the end of 1991.
The major problem that arose in Sino-British relations during the past 60 years concerned
China’s demand for a larger slice of the opium-heroin pie. This was settled when Britain
agreed to hand Hong Kong over to full Chinese government control which will come into
effect in 1997. Other than that, the partners retain their former equal shares of the
lucrative opium trade based in Hong Kong.
The British oligarchical families of the Committee of 300 who were entrenched in
Canton at the height of the opium trade left their descendants in position. Look at a list of
prominent British residents in China and you will see the names of members of the
Committee of 300 among them. The same holds good for Hong Kong. These plutocrats
of a feudal era, that they seek to return to the world, control the gold and opium trade of
which Hong Kong is THE center. Burmese and Chinese opium poppy growers get paid in
gold; they do not trust the U.S. paper $100 bill. This explains the very large volume of
gold trade in the Hong Kong exchange.
The Golden Triangle is no longer the largest producer of opium. That dubious title has
since 1987 been shared by the Golden Crescent (Iran), Pakistan and Lebanon. These are
the principle opium producers, although smaller quantities are once again coming out of
Afghanistan and Turkey. The drug trade, and more: especially the opium trade, could not
function without the help of banks as we shall demonstrate as we proceed.
How do banks with their great air of respectability fit into the drug trade with all of its
attendant filth? It is a very long and complicated story, which could be the subject of a
book on its own. One way in which banks participate is by financing front companies
importing the chemicals needed to process raw opium into heroin. The Hong Kong and
Shanghai Bank with a branch office in London is right in the middle of such trade
through a company called TEJAPAIBUL, which banks with Hong Kong and Shanghai
Bank. What does this company do? It imports into Hong Kong most of the chemicals
needed in the heroin refining process.
It is also a major supplier of acetic anhydride For the Golden Crescent and the Golden
Triangle, Pakistan, Turkey and Lebanon. The actual financing for this trading is hived off
to the Bangkok Metropolitan Bank. Thus, the secondary activities connected with
processing opium, while not in the same category us the opium trade, nevertheless
generates substantial income for banks. But the real income of the Hong Kong and
Shanghai Bank and indeed all banks in the region is financing the actual opium trade.
It took a lot of research on my part to link the price of gold to the price of opium. I used
to tell anyone who would listen, “If you want to know the price of gold find out what the
price of a pound or a kilo of opium is in Hong Kong.” To my critics I answered, “Take a
look at what happened in 1977, a critical year for gold.” The Bank of China shocked the
gold pundits, and those clever forecasters who are to be found in great numbers in
America, by suddenly and without warning, dumping 80 tons of gold on the market.
That depressed the price of gold in a big hurry. All the experts could say was, “We never
knew China had that much gold where could it have come from?” It came from the gold
which is paid to China in the Hong Kong Gold Market for large purchases of opium. The
current policy of the Chinese government toward England is the same as it was in the
18th and 19th centuries. The Chinese economy, tied to the economy of Hong Kong–and I
