| aug 06 2007 | | British Government Biggest Drug Overlord | One element of the occupation of Afghanistan has been the alignment of the British Government with the drug Tzars who control the opium trade. The Helmand province is the biggest producer of opium in the world and with the security of the British Army have had a bumper harvest. This sits oddly with the purported war on drugs. Here you are at the source of the drug trade either standing by or actively supporting the industry, while at home you are prosecuting the small drug dealer and publicly taking an anti-drug stance. On the surface this doesn’t make any sense until you look back in history to other government sponsored drug operations. America ran the drug Contra operation under Ollie North until it was exposed. America is another hypocritical regime that pretends to have a moral stance but utilises illegal practises to further their agenda.
History doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme said Mark Twain. How true. One example of British colonialism is the drug trade that Britain imposed on China supported by Queen Victoria. As is happening today, China had built up a huge trade imbalance with Europe and had accumulated a mass of silver used for settling transactions. By 1800 China owned half the world’s silver and Europe was having trouble finding silver to complete transactions as its thirst for Chinese products grew. The Royal Navy was used to protect the merchant ships entering China to off-load their shipments of Opium. It resulted in the Royal Navy bombarding the Chinese coastline and provoking the Chinese to send out their inferior navy to protect their country and suffered a humiliating defeat. After Britain had flooded the country with drugs and taken China’s silver, it took China over a hundred years to recover.
Back then there was perhaps the excuse that the world was run on imperial grounds but today there is no such excuse for the behaviour of Governments being supporters of the drug trade. The other side of this is that silver will once again become a very desirable commodity. My advice is to buy silver.
