89. OPIUM WARS - THE ORIGINAL NARCO-COLONIALISM

THE ORIGINAL STATE SPONSORED DRUG TRAFFIC….
AFRICAN AMERICANS WERE NOT THE FIRST VICTIMS OF STATE SPONSORED DRUG DEALING, JUST THE LATEST. THE OPIUM WARS ARE WELL DOCUMENTED AND ARE PART OF THE REASON BRITISH EMPIRE GOT A HOLD OF TERRITORIES SUCH AS HONG KONG. NARCO COLONIALISM CONTINUES ON. :

This war with China . . . really seems to me so wicked as to be a national sin of the greatest possible magnitude, and it distresses me very deeply. Cannot any thing be done by petition or otherwise to awaken men's minds to the dreadful guilt we are incurring? I really do not remember, in any history, of a war undertaken with such combined injustice and baseness. Ordinary wars of conquest are to me far less wicked, than to go to war in order to maintain smuggling, and that smuggling consisting in the introduction of a demoralizing drug, which the government of China wishes to keep out, and which we, for the lucre of gain, want to introduce by force; and in this quarrel are going to burn and slay in the pride of our supposed superiority. — Thomas Arnold to W. W. Hull, March 18, 1840
