The Drug Dealers as Founders of the US Universities

[PantaOz]

Few years ago I was teaching World History and when we came to the part about the US and the topic of the foundation of Harvard (and the other Ivy League universities) I had plenty of material that supported the well documented claims that most of those institutions were just a "money laundering scheme" and investment of the opium trade profits. There were couple of ransom attacks on my two computers and I lost most of it... so I tried to trace back and recover at least some of the "proof" for the history of the foundation of those universities and noticed one thing: most of the sites disappeared, others were "sanitized" so I could not find the documents anymore, and strangely, the search engines would not even come up with anything close to the results I was looking for.

There are few exceptions like “The Imperial Cruise: A Secret History of Empire and War,” by the historian James Bradley but these were now offered for sale through the main internet players. There is evidence in that book showing us that many of Boston’s elite families - Cabot, Lowell, and Kirkland included - sustained their wealth through the opium trade... so we could conclude that most Many of Harvard’s 19th-century heroes (or villains if you prefer) were high level drug dealers.

The Cabots were the worst of the lot during those turbulent times... so, while operating in China, they got involved in the lucrative opium export business and brought the trade back to Boston. It didn't take long for the Cabots to create an empire, establishing themselves as Boston’s elite, the Boston Brahmins!

Another source is still available, as a book of course, everything free disappeared (or maybe I lost my research ability?)! “Treason in America: From Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman,” was written by Anton Chaitkin and he nicely described the process of the syndicate growth! Few additional notable families became involved, including the Coolidge family, descendants of Thomas Jefferson! Did you know that Forbes family was involved, ancestors of former Secretary of State John Kerry...

Mafia did not start selling drugs in the US... the "businessmen" and "scholars", politicians and shady "Elite" characters were the creators of it! At the beginning of the nineteenth century, members of these families were creators of the US, holding the positions of treasurers for Harvard, directors for the Harvard and the Massachusetts Bank, and even the president of Harvard College! I do not think that students of that time have been frequent users of the drug but these guys and their shady trade were ever-present! They created the drug culture in the US... that never stopped. Spreading like a wildfire, but controlled one through the "creators" of the system, Yale University’s infamous Skull and Bone society joined. The society was funded by the Russels, the most successful family of opium dealers in America! So, when students visit the famous Columbia’s Low Memorial Library was also named after a key member of the family... everything financed by the ancestors of the Chinese students flocking there! Do not think that there was a university that wasn't involved. Even Princeton’s first large benefactor, John Green, used his opium trade money to fund his contributions.

Seeing how successful the founders were, didn't take long for students to pick up the trade themselves... even undergraduates were eager to deal themselves into the lucrative opium trade, and that was well researched in “The American Disease: Origins of Narcotic Control" by David F. Musto. He is showing us that students started opening opium “joints” from Boston to New York!

Frank Mills was a Harvard freshman and he told the Boston Daily Globe from 1888 that :
“Life at Harvard would not be complete until had experienced some of the effects of opium.”​

This statement was the beginning of his end... almost immediately after Mill’s interview, he overdosed on opium! On July 1, 1908, President Roosevelt elected Hamilton Wright as the first United States Opium Commissioner and his job was to target the few opium dealers and pharmacists still remaining in the Unites States... unfortunately the Cabots, the Lowells, and the Kirklands were not registered as those! And there was more to the story,,,

The bride—her cousin Eleanor Roosevelt—followed, and behind her was President Theodore Roosevelt, who would give his niece away to the bridegroom, his fifth cousin Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Eleanor wore a pearl necklace and diamonds in her hair, gifts from Franklin’s rich Delano relatives. Even though Franklin had never made much money himself, Teddy knew that he would be able to care for his new wife: FDR was heir to the huge Delano opium fortune. Franklin’s grandfather Warren Delano had for years skulked around the Pearl River Delta dealing drugs. Delano had run offices in Canton and Hong Kong. During business hours, Chinese criminals would pay him cash and receive an opium chit. At night, Scrambling Crabs—long, sleek, heavily armed crafts—rowed out into the Pearl River Delta to Delano’s floating warehouses, where they received their Jesus opium under the cover of darkness. The profits were enormous, and at his death Delano left his daughter Sara a fortune that she lavished on her only son. The Delanos were not alone. Many of New England’s great families made their fortunes dealing drugs in China. The Cabot family of Boston endowed Harvard with opium money, while Yale’s famous Skull and Bones society was funded by the biggest American opium dealers of them all —the Russell family. The most famous landmark on the Columbia University campus is the Low Memorial Library, which honors Abiel Low, a New Y boy who made it big ork in the Pearl River Delta and bankrolled the first cable across the Atlantic. Princeton University’s first big benefactor, John Green, sold opium in the Pearl River Delta with Warren Delano. The list goes on and on: Boston’s John Murray Forbes’s opium profits financed the career of transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson and bankrolled the Bell Telephone Company. Thomas Perkins founded America’s first commercial railroad and funded the Boston Athenaeum. (The Imperial Cruise_ A Secret History of - James Bradley - docshare.tips)

Of course, the above authors' theories and the documents they provided as evidence were very often ridiculed by the university lecturers nd professors but I noticed that nobody disputed the claims but they had negative attributes assigned for "writing style", "illiteracy", "being bitchy", "historical ignorance" and incompetence!

I would appreciate any more web sites, books, interviews, newspaper clips about this topic! I had so much more, and I want to rebuild it! Thanks in advance!

“Treason in America: From Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman,” was written by Anton Chaitkin

Maybe I'll say something stupid. Have you tried asking the author to share information? He wrote the book based on materials and facts. There is a site of the author.

The book Dope, Inc. was the book that exposed a lot of the families involved in the business and in the global oligarchy, so much that the publisher EIR was targeted and they had to re-release the book with some info cut out. Here is the original version.

 

[PantaOz]

During the last century, British finance protected by British guns controlled the world narcotics traffic. The names of the families and institutions are known to the history student: Matheson, Keswick, Swire, Dent, Baring, and Rothschild; Jardine Matheson, the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, the Chartered Bank, the Peninsular and Orient Steam Navigation Company. Britain's array of intelligence fronts ran a worldwide assassination bureau, operating through occult secret societies: the Order of Zion, Mazzini's Mafia, the "Triads" or Societies of Heaven in China. Paging back over the records of the narcotics traffic and its wake of corruption and murder, the most uncanny feature of the opium-based Pax Britannica is how shamelessly, how publicly the dope-runners operated. Opium trading, for the British, was not a sordid backstreet business, but an honored instrument of state policy, the mainstay of the Exchequer, the subject of encomia from Britain's leading apostles of "Free Trade" — Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Thomas Malthus, James Mill, and John Stuart Mill. The poisoning of China, and later the post-Civil War United States, did not lead to prison but to peerages. Great sectors of the Far East became devoted to the growing of the opium poppy, to the exclusion of food crops, to the extent that scores of millions of people depended utterly on the growing, distribution and consumption of drugs.

The slave and cotton trade in the South was run to a significant degree by the same Scottish-based families that also ran the opium traffic in the orient. The Sutherland family, which was one of the largest slave and cotton traders in the South, were first cousins of the Matheson family of Jardine Matheson. The Barings, who founded the Peninsular & Orient Steamship Line heavily involved in the opium trade, had been the largest investors in U.S. clipper shipping from the time of the American Revolution. The Rothschild family as well as their later "Our Crowd" New York Jewish banking cousins, the Lehmans of Lehman Bros., all made their initial entry into the United States through the pre-Civil War cotton and slave trade. In the case of the U.S. Civil War, the British opium traffickers bet on the loser. By the mid-1860s, cotton goods from the southern United States were back on the international markets, triggering waves of bankruptcies among London speculators who bet on dramatic inflation in the prices of Indian and Egyptian cotton. As in the period immediately following Britain's loss of its American colonies during 1776-87, the oligarchy turned to an expanded opium traffic to paste over the losses. To facilitate the planned expansion of the opium trade, the British banking and merchant circle founded the Hongkong & Shanghai Corporation in 1864. Almost simultaneously, the Matheson family founded Rio Tinto (now Rio Tinto Zinc), a tin mining venture in Spain which soon began shipping these ores as a method of payment for the opium. Who founded the Hongkong and Shanghai Corporation? The same circle of merchant banking, trading, and shipping families — centered around the British monarchy — who opened the East India Company's opium trade as an instrument of British state policy during the previous century. The following points summarize British Opium War policy against China through the 19th century: * Open sponsorship of mass-scale opium addiction of targeted colonial and neocolonial populations by the British Crown;...

Dope Inc. 1978 - Amazing read!

And with so many years passed nothing has changed... the same players in the field:

It was previously reported that since the US toppled the Taliban in 2002, opium production in the country has tripled.

Afghanistan remains a homeland for the largest opium poppy production and distribution network in the world, supplying more than 90 percent of the global crop.

The United Nations says opium cultivation in Afghanistan increased by 7 percent in 2014, hitting a record high despite costly US led efforts to battle the production.

I just want to give an example from my side of the world of this exact scenario of wealthy families dealing drugs, but through the pharmaceutical vein.

The Sackler family owned a local ski resort that I used to work at when I was just a teenager. They are the family known for the pushing of opiates, even when they very well knew the outcome of use of this narcotic. They destroyed millions of lives and left this young generation growing up with their grandparents instead of their parents. Another tactic by the dark entity, leaving the youth feeling forlorn, and farther from any truths that they should be aware of. These children are being raised by the older generation that had been blinded of the truths.

If there was any "family dynamic" to begin with, it surely has been ripped away and all these kids of this f****d up opiate generation are just pawns in the elites game. The ghettos were made for just this, so if you have everyone rounded up in one community, it is easier to take them down, emotionally and physically.

There is no shift in global power, and no Russian or Chinese threat. There is only one interrelated global business kaBAL of ancient merchant crypto-occultic-aristocrats, utilizing their Agenturs & Political machine to rob, abuse and deceive gents for millennia.

It was already mentioned that Princeton’s largest benefactor of the late 19th century, John Cleve Green, acquired his fortune from the opium trade in China. His donations endowed professorships and secured land and numerous buildings for the University, including Chancellor Green Library! Today, in that library you can get the book "Our opium trade with China" by Samuel S. Mander... from 1877!

Forbes was mentioned, too... and today they think they are the big name! Forbes Mansion was constructed in 1833 with money made from the opium trade in China and is now known as Forbes House Museum. The museum is now, for the first time, emphasizing this past.
Opium: The Addiction Trade, its most recent exhibition, is a slow analysis of this shadowy and obscure aspect of Boston history.

They are not hiding their past (now when everyone knows)! Members of the Forbes and Perkins families are featured in the exhibit.At the beginning of the 1800s, Thomas Handasyd Perkins and his brother James Perkins began shifting the focus of their maritime empire from the slave trade to trading with China.

Through a network of bribery and deception, American traders brought a lot of illegal opium to China, smuggled it into the country, and used the money to buy tea, china, silk, and other fabrics.The Perkins brothers and their nephews, Robert Bennet Forbes and John Murray Forbes, gained wealth from the sale of these Boston and other properties.

The opium trade and the beginning of what Chinese leaders referred to as a century of humiliation are the focus of the exhibition, which looks at the early relations between China and the United States.

The museum acknowledges in this exhibit the evil that the opium trade perpetuates to this day. In 1833, Ben Forbes, as he was known, constructed the Milton Mansion. He filled it with a lot of silk, vases, intricately carved tables and chairs, and sets of porcelain dishes.Forbes hid hardened cakes or opium balls under rice in chests in the exhibit to avoid detection.Ships based in Boston, Salem, Providence, and other East Coast ports would travel on voyages that could last two or three years, as depicted on maps.

Historians are frantically looking for clues that the opium trade contributed to an addiction problem in Boston in the middle of the 19th century.The Forbes House Museum and the Milton Public Library work together to provide information and talk about the current opioid crisis.

The opium trade and its impact on US-China relations, current anti-Asian sentiment, and the role of philanthropy in righting wrongs are also discussed in the exhibit.

Just so happens that the other day, after commenting on this thread, I looked up the history of the local "asylum" which is now of course named something else, and I found some interesting info. It reads that the asylum used opium as one of its treatments during that latter part of the 1800's. This was the supposed first "private" asylum in the United States.

I believe they used to use LSD as a treatment for alcoholism, and then used a form of it for the purpose of war in Vietnam. I want to think that these people definitely knew what they were doing with these drugs. I think these "experimental" therapies were actually ways of seeing the connections between the soul and reality. Actual possessions of souls, almost like exorcisms is what these people were witnessing with these patients. A total visual of the process of this interdimensional extraction.

Or maybe I am reading to much in to this.

100+ page pdf on Mao, opium, Yale, and the many interconnections and skull (and bones) duggery. Or should I say, druggery.

Mao started as a worker in Yale-China hospital in the early 1900s.

Mr. Yale himself at one point in the late 1600s, was a profitably reckless executive of the East India Company.

Elihu Yale - Wikipedia

Yale amassed a fortune while working for the company, largely through secret contracts with Madras merchants, against the East India Company's directive. By 1692, his repeated flouting of East India Company regulations and growing embarrassment at his illegal profiteering resulted in his being relieved of the post of governor.

On 6 October 1968, the 250th anniversary of the naming of Yale College for Elihu Yale, the classmates of Chester Bowles, then the American ambassador to India and a graduate of Yale (1924), donated money for lasting improvements to the church and erected a plaque to commemorate the occasion. In 1970, a portrait of him, Elihu Yale seated at table with the Second Duke of Devonshire and Lord James Cavendish was donated to the Yale Center for British Art from Chatsworth House.

"while Yale’s famous Skull and Bones society was funded by the biggest American opium dealers of them all —the Russell family."

Stephen Platt's China1800s Opium war history, Imperial Twilight, describes Samuel Russell only as an orphan, neglecting to mention he worked for Hull and Griswold in his teens. Both Hull and Griswold were Yale skulls, and a Griswold became president of Yale.

Plus, Samuel's cousin founded skull and bones.

Why the orphan deflection?

Probably because author Platt did his phd at Yale.

PantaOz,​

Thanks for this. En eye-opener.

Wow! Is nothing sacred anymore? My goodness, universities founded by drug dealers! In this country (the Netherlands) there was also the largest cocaine factory in the world. Now that it has become known, things are going very strongly downhill; is that kicking out of envy?

It is understandable that those universities are run by crooks: for example, one can sell climate stuff and chemtrails or viruses or any other improbability. They also happen to own the most beautiful buildings here. And they have incredible power, but cause incredible misery. Science has become a curse. Thank you gentlemen. NOT. (I'm starting to understand more and more why the earth is being made a hell. It's a logical consequence; crime doesn't pay, it ruins everything. And that docile press is their mouthpiece.)
