Communist China: The Social Experiment of the British & Anglo-American Establishment

The Fentanyl Crisis is a form of geopolitical warfare waged by the International Banking Cartel, “Disarm the capitalists with the things they like to taste [meaning drugs].” -Zhou Enlai

The British and Anglo Americans Establish Communism in China

The nineteenth century British Opium Wars were initiated by the East India Company and involved major City of London banks, trading companies, and shipping lines. In 1865, the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) was founded by Thomas Sutherland and was the clearinghouse bank for the world opium trade. City of London bankers and Wall Street funded the Bolsheviks in Russia, Adolf Hitler in Germany, and Mao Zedong in China.

The Rockefeller family’s Standard Oil was selling kerosene in China since the time of the American Civil War to Deng Xiaoping’s reform era. In the 20th century, their investment in China’s science, medicine, and higher education was upwards of a billion dollars. The Rockefellers were major donors to the ivy leagues such as Yale and Harvard.¹

In 1901, the Yale-China Association was founded by a group of Yale graduates and faculty members committed to establishing Western education and medicine in China. In 1903, Yale Divinity School established a number of schools and hospitals throughout China that were collectively known as ‘Yale in China.’ By the 1920s, the group founded “Hsiang-Ya” (Hunan—Yale) Hospital, as well as the Xiangya Medical College, and the Peking Union Medical College Hospital directly funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.²

Without Yale’s support, Mao Zedong may never have risen from obscurity to establish the Chinese Communist Party. Mao received his introduction to communist theory at the Yale in China schools and he became the editor of Yale Journal in 1919.³

'Chemical Warfare by Indigenous Methods'

In 1928, Mao Zedong instructed one of his trusted subordinates, Tan Chen-lin, to begin cultivating opium on an industrial scale. Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai first began using opium as a political weapon against their own people during his war to establish Communism throughout China.⁴ He had two objectives: trade for needed supplies and 'drugging the white region' where 'white' referred to his non-communist opposition. Mao's strategy was simple: use narcotics to soften a target area. As soon as Mao secured his power in 1949, opium production was nationalized, and drug trafficking used against the non-communists became a state sanctioned activity of the People's Republic of China. The primary organizations involved in the early 1950s were the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the Trade Ministry, and the Intelligence Service and the official targets were Japan, the United States military personnel stationed in East Asia, and mainland United States. North Korea was also trafficking drugs in cooperation with China at this time and was directly connected with the flow of drugs into Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War and US military bases in the East Asia.

During the Korean War, the Chinese and North Koreans used narcotics against US servicemen to undermine the effectiveness of the American military and raise revenue. As part of this mission, Eastern Bloc Czechoslovak intelligence assisted in constructing a hospital in North Korea under the cover of treating casualties. The hospital was used instead as a research facility in which Czechoslovak, Soviet, North Korean, and Chinese doctors experimented on US and South Korean prisoners of war.⁵ Those studies showed American and South Korean POWs were exposed to chemical, biological, and psychochemical warfare experiments. These inhumane experiments were justified as preparations for the next war.

In 1957, at the third meeting of the Central Committee of the CCP, the Chinese decided to expand their narcotics offensive as part of the 'Great Leap Forward.' During the Vietnam War, China and the Soviet Union competed for the drug business of US servicemen.

During a 1958 meeting in Wuhan, Zhou Enlai discussed increasing opium production:

“The Centre has decided to promote poppy cultivation on a large scale.... Every one of you must awake to the fact that the war in Vietnam is likely to escalate and US imperialism has determined to fight against our revolutionary camp by increasing its military force in Vietnam.... From the revolutionary point of view, the poppy is a great force to assist the course of our revolution and should be used; from the class point of view, the poppy can also become a powerful weapon to win the proletarian revolution.... By exporting large quantities of morphine and heroin, we are able to weaken the US combat force and to defeat it without even fighting at all...”⁶ Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Zhou Enlai was the most important official orchestrating China's covert narcotics warfare operations.

In February 1964, Mikhail Suslov explained at a meeting of the Soviet Central Committee, Zhou Enlai’s strategy was “to disarm the capitalists with the things they like to taste [meaning drugs].”⁷ The data from the early 1970s in Southeast Asia and Europe shows there was a huge surge in drug addiction among US servicemembers. Heroin was available outside every American base in Vietnam and was supplied to the local population by the Chinese.⁸ The reaction of the US military on the drug crisis was to deny there was a problem, and then blamed it on the “poor quality” of recruits. But there is no question as to what caused the increase in drug use: It was due to flooding a target area with drugs, high-pressure marketing techniques, and artificially depressed prices. Prostitutes were used to push drugs on unsuspecting servicemen and addiction was acquired covertly by mixing opium and heroin into drugs that weren’t considered addictive, such as marijuana.⁹ Cigarettes given away to American troops were also laced with narcotics. Heroin was sold as cocaine, which at the time cocaine was not considered addictive. We are seeing the same techniques with fentanyl today.

Shortly after the bombings of Cambodian Viet Cong sanctuaries, pure quality heroin was available below wholesale prices outside the gates of every US military base in Southeast Asia. As General Lewis Walt explained, “In June of 1970, immediately after our Cambodian incursion, South Vietnam was flooded with heroin of remarkable purity - 94 to 97 percent - which sold at the ridiculously low price of first $1 and then $2 a vial. If profit-motivated criminals were in charge of the operation, the price made no sense at all - because no GI who wanted to get high on heroin would have batted an eyelash at paying $5, or even $10. The same amount of heroin in New York would have cost $250. The only explanation that makes sense is that the epidemic was political rather than economic in inspiration - that whoever was behind the epidemic wanted to hook as many GI's as possible, as fast as possible, and as hard as possible.”¹⁰ From 1970-1971, the US Air Force lost more people to drugs than to combat. During investigations of the drug epidemic, Chinese trafficking, North Vietnamese production, and Viet Cong traffickers were all identified by US intelligence as sources of heroin.

During the China détente policy, Henry Kissinger altered the CIA’s 1970 ‘Golden Triangle’ map to hide Communist China’s role, especially in Yunnan province, as a major source of heroin.¹¹ Kissinger was also responsible for major decisions related to the Vietnam War and kept the U.S. bombing of Cambodia a secret from Congress. Kissinger, an avowed agent of British oligarchic and Soviet interests, sought to destroy America’s superpower status in a new "multipolar world” with Russia and China as the center of power. He engaged in policy actions verging on treason during the Vietnam war that were prosecutable under the Nuremberg Code's definition of 'crimes against humanity.’

In 1972, Professor J. H. Turnbull, the head of the Department of Applied Chemistry at the Royal Military College of Science, summarized the Chinese narcotics trafficking strategy as “directed broadly at the major industrial sectors of the Free World. In purely commercial terms these offer obvious targets, since they provide both large [and] affluent markets..."¹² Turnbull emphasized, narcotics were “a valuable source of national income, and a powerful weapon of subversion.”

Public Health: Communism through Philanthropy

The Rockefellers started investing in a public health monopoly after it was discovered that pharmaceutical drugs could be made from oil. The Rockefeller Foundation established the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, Harvard School of Public Health, School of Hygiene at the University of Toronto in 1927, London School of Hygiene, and Tropical Medicine in the United Kingdom. The Rockefeller Foundation spent more than $25 million in developing other public health schools in the US and in 21 foreign countries.

In 1979, after Nixon’s détente David Rockefeller met Zhou Enlai in a late-night meeting that established a Rockefeller Foundation subsidiary: the China Medical Board.¹³ The Rockefeller Foundation often partners with other notable foundations such as the Ford Foundation or the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation who was one of the three founders of Johnson & Johnson.

Xian-Janssen Pharmaceutical Ltd., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, was the first Western pharmaceutical company to open a Chinese plant in 1985. Dr. Paul Janssen, who invented of fentanyl in 1959, met with Mao Zedong’s personal physician Ma Haide (George Hatem) in 1978.¹⁴

Hatem, a Maronite Lebanese-American, who joined Mao Zedong’s Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) Eighth Route Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1936. Hatem sent requests to Soong Ching-ling, Agnes Smedley, and others to recruit foreign medical personnel for Mao' troops. In March 1939, He met with Norman Bethune, a Canadian thoracic surgeon, in Yan'an and was instrumental in organizing medical services for the war. An early advocate of socialized medicine, Bethune joined the Communist Party of Canada after he travelled to the Soviet Union to observe their universal health care system in 1935. Ma Haide was secretly granted Chinese citizenship in the 1950’s but retained his U.S. passport well into the 1960's.¹⁵ These westerners were sent to China by the Rockefeller Foundation and other communist organizations, and they had to of known of the weaponization of narcotics against the non-communist Chinese, Japanese, and American GIs.

Bankers: Commies in Thousand Dollar Suits

Eleven percent of the federal government's bank balances were held by National City Bank by 1906. National City (Citibank) was the banker of Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, and the Chicago banking authorities accused Secretary of the Treasury Leslie Shaw of being too close with National City and other Wall Street operatives. The pretense of National City being an “independent” banking entity formally ended when James Stillman Rockefeller joined the National City Bank in New York in 1930 and was president from 1952 to 1959 and chairman from 1959 to 1967. In 1960, his second cousin, David Rockefeller became president of Chase Manhattan Bank.

Rockefeller’s Chase Bank later merged with Warburg’s Manhattan Bank to form Chase Manhattan Bank and in 1996 merged with JP Morgan to become JP Morgan Chase.

According to David Rockefeller in 1973, “The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.”¹⁶ Mao’s Cultural Revolution is responsible between 40 million to possibly upwards of 80 million deaths in China.

Global Banks: The Financial Arm of Dictators, Drug Cartels, and Terrorists

In 1991, the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation became the parent holding company for HSBC Holding Plc. in preparation for its purchase of the UK-based Midland Bank. In February 2008, Mexican authorities referred to the local HSBC Mexican bank branch as the “place to launder money” for the Sinaloa Cartel.¹⁷ In federal court documents, lax money laundering controls at HSBC allowed two cartels - one each in Mexico and Colombia - to move $881 million in drug money proceeds through the bank. The practice was so rampant that the cartels designed “specially shaped boxes” that fit the size of the teller window for drug traffickers to deposit hundreds of thousands of dollars per day into HSBC accounts. U.S. prosecutors only assessed a $1.92 billion settlement with the British bank and not one person went to prison.

According to the FinCEN Files, between January 2010 and July 2015, JP Morgan Chase received more than $1 billion dollars in transactions from a mysterious shell company called ABSI Enterprises. ABSI’s actual owner is linked to Semion Mogilevich, the "boss of all bosses" of the Russian Mafia.¹⁸ In November 2016, JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay $264 million in fines for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in which the bank secured business deals in Hong Kong by agreeing to hire hundreds of friends and relatives of Chinese government officials.¹⁹ The bank moved more than $1 billion for the fugitive financier behind Malaysia’s 1MDB scandal and more than $2 million for an energy mogul’s company that has been accused of cheating Venezuela’s government out of money and helping cause electrical blackouts that crippled large parts of the country.

In 2017, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China at the Madrid, Spain branch was accused of international money laundering by using the bank to transfer illegal income to China. Spanish prosecutors said the giant Chinese state-run bank was a conduit for laundering illegal funds from tax fraud and smuggling by “Chinese criminal organizations.” The sums laundered were so large, the prosecutors said, that “the damage to the socio-economic order and the national economy is clear.”²⁰ If convicted for money laundering, only individual bankers would be jailed for up to a maximum of six years. If the bank is found to be complicit, it’s only a hefty fine and never any jail time for banking executives. In 2006, three "strategic investors" injected $3.7 billion USD into ICBC: Goldman Sachs, Allianz Group, and American Express.²¹ In April 2001, Allianz acquired 80% of Dresdner Bank that it did not already own and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Commerzbank. Goldman Sachs and Commerzbank have both been accused of massive money laundering and financial crimes as reported in the Pandora Papers.

Among the 41 locally incorporated foreign banks in China, there are eight from the U.S. that operate about 80 branches in China.²²

• Citibank

• Bank of America Merrill Lynch

• BNY Mellon

• East West Bank

• JPMorgan Chase Bank

• Morgan Stanley Bank International

• SPD Silicon Valley Bank

Every single one of these financial institutions has been accused of having weak anti-money laundering programs and/or involved in money laundering scandals themselves. Since the start of the Russia–Ukraine war, scrutiny has intensified on money laundering conducted in the City of London. The rampant financial criminality has earned the UK’s banking hub two monikers: ‘The Laundromat’ and ‘Londongrad’ due to the amount of money laundering and business it does with Russian and Russian-Israeli oligarchs.

It seems these Chinese state-owned banks involved with money laundering for fentanyl traffickers have Western multinational corporations aiding their war on America. Even BlackRock is the only Western company operate a wholly owned mutual fund in China and it’s the shadow bank of Belt and Road global critical infrastructure project and using our pension funds against American interests.

The US drug epidemic has been blamed on social unrest, unemployment, capitalism, and the traffickers' quest for profits. We constantly hear the claim: if it were not for the demand, there would be no drug problem. Every single drug crisis was caused by Sino-Soviet agents flooding a target area with cheap and/or free drugs that were designed to cause drug demand through addiction.²³ It was the research and development arm of Johnson & Johnson who invented fentanyl and recently paid out a huge settlement for deceptive practices and flooding the United States with fentanyl and other opioids. The “Chinese” banks with American backers are helping to money launder illicit proceeds from Mexican Cartels who are provided the precursors from China. The fentanyl crisis isn’t a Chinese made crisis, but a crisis instigated by the International Banking Cartel.

In 1999, Unrestricted Warfare, as translated from the original People’s Liberation Army documents, listed “drug warfare” and “financial warfare” as types of grey area unconventional warfare. In U.S. National Defense Reports from 1996, 1997, and 1998 also considered “terrorism, subversive activities, and anarchist threats to American prosperity and economic growth, illegal drug trade, and international crimes” as security threats to the United States.²⁴ In May of 1997, it was pointed out in “The Global Security Environment” the first section of the Four-Year Defense Investigation Report published by the Department of Defense that America will be facing terrorist activity, illegal drug trade, crimes by international organizations, and out-of-control immigration as threats. Weaponized drug trafficking is an offshoot of Chinese and Soviet secret Cold War era psychochemical warfare research and development.

Money laundering by global banks facilitate industrial espionage, drug and even human trafficking. Recently, JP Morgan Chase had to pay out the victims of Jeffrey Epstein for aiding and abetting his sexual blackmail of politicians and technology industrialists because it facilitated illegal technology transfers for China, Israel, and Russia.
