cultivated by the British in Patna and Afghanistan. The British did not sell it to Indians however. Instead they startedgiving away free tea at railway stations. Once the Indian population was hooked, they put a price on it. Realizing the needfor local Indian Illuminati operatives, Masonry made its entry into India. The first Lodge was established at Fort William,Calcutta in 1730. (The same fort William from which Hindi arose). Interestingly, its coat of arms was the lion on the sealof the British East India Company! Masonry was gradually established in all major Indian urban focal points. The OpiumWar, also called the Anglo-Chinese War, was the most humiliating defeat China ever suffered. In European history, it isperhaps the most sordid, base, and vicious event in European history, possibly, just possibly, overshadowed by theexcesses of the Third Reich and Lenin/Stalin and The Allies in the twentieth century. By the 1830's, the English hadbecome the major drug-trafficking (in addition to slave trading) criminal organization in the World; very few drug cartelsof the twentieth century can even touch the England of the early nineteenth century in sheer size of criminality. Onewonders what is going on today in Afghanistan, another opium war?The British wanted Emperor Tao Kwong to legalize opium and collect a tariff, but he replied, "It is true I can not preventthe introduction of the flowing poison; gain-seeking and corrupt men will for profit and sensuality defeat my wishes, butnothing will induce me to derive a revenue from the vice and misery of my people." According to Boothe, three of theEmperor's sons became addicts and the drug killed each one.

Note thestatement by a British MP: "Pagans, semi-civilized barbarians". Such a statement is actually a Freudian self-projection bythe self-proclaimed "enlightened and civilized British"! "There is not in the history of any country, nor in criminal annalsanywhere a record of crimes so shameful, so callous, so vile as England's opium war or England's present opium trade, orthe rape of the Boer Republics, of the crimes in India and in Persia and in Ireland and in Egypt, of Amritsar and of Congo."O'Connell Fenian -- an Irish-American attorney and director of the American Friends of Irish Freedomhttp://gothamimage.blogspot.com/2005_08_28_gothamimage_archive.html"These crimes against humanity were the real foundation of the British Empire which is really the owners of the Bank ofEngland who print paper money from nothing thus usurping the credit from the people. For the Chinese, the Opium Warsof 1840 and again in 1856 were catastrophic. This 2000 year old civilisation, remarkable for its rich culture and relativeequanimity, was unable to match the military technology of its oppressor, a warring nation that had, in contrast, acquiredan empire overnight, as a result of its ruthlessness, exploitation and conquest...." By the 1830's, the English had becomethe major drug-trafficking criminal organization in the World; very few drug cartels of the twentieth century can eventouch the England of the early nineteenth century in sheer size of criminality. Growing opium in India, the East IndiaCompany shipped tons of opium into Canton which it traded for Chinese manufactured goods and for tea. This trade hadproduced, quite literally, a country filled with drug addicts, as opium parlors proliferated all throughout China in the earlypart of the nineteenth century. This trafficking, it should be stressed, was a criminal activity after 1836, but the Britishtraders generously bribed Canton officials in order to keep the opium traffic flowing. The effects on Chinese society weredevastating. In fact, there are few periods in Chinese history that approach the early nineteenth century in terms of purehuman misery and tragedy. In an effort to stem the tragedy, the imperial government made opium illegal in 1836 andbegan to aggressively close down the opium dens.The key player in the prelude to war was a brilliant and highly moral official named Lin Tse-hsü. Deeply concerned aboutthe opium menace, he maneuvered himself into being appointed Imperial Commissioner at Canton. His express purposewas to cut off the opium trade at its source by rooting out corrupt officials and cracking down on British trade in the drug.He took over in March of 1839 and within two months, absolutely invulnerable to bribery and corruption, he had takenaction against Chinese merchants and Western traders and shut down all the traffic in opium. He destroyed all the existingstores of opium and, victorious in his war against opium, he composed a letter to Queen Victoria of England requestingthat the British cease all opium trade. His letter included the argument that, since Britain had made opium trade andconsumption illegal in England because of its harmful effects, it should not export that harm to other countries. Trade,according to Lin, should only be in beneficial objects. The British, however, had been nursing several grievances againstChina, and Lin's take-no-prisoners enforcement of Chinese laws combined to outrage the British against his decapitationof the opium trade. The most serious bone of contention involved treaty relations; because the British refused to submitto the emperor, there were no formal treaty relations between the two countries. The most serious problem precipitatedby this lack of treaty relations involved the relationship between foreigners and Chinese law. The British, on principle,refused to hand over British citizens to a Chinese legal system that they felt was vicious and barbaric. The Chinese,equally principled, demanded that all foreigners who were accused of committing crimes on Chinese soil were to be dealtwith solely by Chinese officials. In addition to enforcing the opium laws, Lin aggressively pursued foreign nationalsaccused of crimes and rightly so.The English, despite Lin's eloquent letter, refused to back down from the opium trade. In response, Lin threatened to cutoff all trade with England and expel all English from China. Thus began the Opium War. War broke out when Chinesejunks attempted to turn back English merchant vessels in November of 1839; although this was a low-level conflict, itinspired the English to send warships in June of 1840. The Chinese, with old-style weapons and artillery, were no matchfor the British gunships, which ranged up and down the coast shooting at forts and fighting on land. The Chinese wereequally unprepared for the technological superiority of the British land armies, and suffered continual defeats. Finally, in1842, the Chinese were forced to agree to an ignomious peace under the Treaty of Nanking.
