League Drug Power Play Background

Image
  Americans exported prohibition until collapse and war resulted, then doubled down after the disasters.  League of Nations financials  had painted a bleak picture in 1926. Drug-crop countries shoved into joining were nearly 10 million gold francs in arrears (roughly $2 million, at 5 to 1 exchange rate). By year's end they were barely $280,000 ahead. March 1927 brought the Nanking Incident ( link ), a UK-Soviet war scare followed in May, the month the Manly Sullivan Supreme Court decision made dope and liquor profits taxable. German markets tumbled without recovery . The French frank crashed and U.S. tourists there were importuned for police ID cards, yet French stock prices still held strong.( link ) Now, January 1929, was the perfect time for U.S. prohibitionists already infiltrating the League with a Permanent Opium Board to exert unrelenting prohibitionist pressure crowding the Opium Advisory Committee to endorse deadlier laws against production and trade worldwide....

Americans v League of Nations, 2nd Meeting JAN1929

Image
  17JAN1929 marked 25days since the large seizure of addictive opiates and non-habit-forming cocaine at New York.( link ) League medical experts at the 2nd Opium Advisory meeting quibbled over U.S. insistence on adding benzylmorphine to the index of drugs singled out for stringent regulation same as benzyolmorphine with the extra "o." A Swiss M.D. asserted the former was non-habit-forming . One of the U.S. allies seated on the Permanent Central Opium Committee auditing Opium Advisory Committee meetings pointed out that the concoction included more than 2% morphine. This U.S.-dominated committee had been meeting for close to two weeks already. Already the vagueness of terms like "habit" and "addiction" were being exploited by Americans. U.S. laws back then banned sauerkraut for containing 0.5% alcohol as a result of natural fermentation. Future President Ronald Reagan--18 years old when League partisans tried to palm off certain opiates as non-habit-form...

League Opium Committee under U.S. management, JAN1929

Image
  This agreement, like the Anglo-Chinese deal of 1907 is concealed. Another version, 8 days later, attracted 27 additional signatures. Of the first seven, four produced morphine, two cocaine, and all but Siam, opium. Additional producers appeared at the second "séance".  The first meeting of the Opium Advisory Committee's 12th Session opened 17JAN1929. Early plans to open and search personal letters and packages made it clear "higher-ups" and kingpins were not a concern. The other item concerned the Permanent Central (Opium) Board invented by Americans at the 1925 Geneva Convention to infiltrate and keep tabs on the Opium Advisory Committee--staffed by a Dutch coke trader, an agent of Serbia, producer of the world's strongest opium, an excitable Chinese gentleman nervous over the 1/8 of China's opium that is imported. The other 7/8 of opium, actually grown in China, not as troubling. France, Germany, Great Britain and India had their experienced deal ma...

USA, Rockefeller, influenced League of Nations

Image
  After faking its own Geneva convention in 1925, the US began buying into the League of Nations the way trust companies buy controlling interest in stock corporations. US and UK created pressure to ban non-addictive leaf drugs liable to compete with tobacco--and rumored help brown people win boxing championships and resist imperialist invaders.   Sino-American collaboration at pressuring the whole world into at-gunpoint prohibitionism had unexpected consequences--China's collapse into communist anarchy, Balkan Wars and WW1. Australians and Canadians were bound by the narcotics-exporting UK to fight Austro-Hungary-Germany and their Ottoman Allies, including Turkey. The US sent Herbert Hoover "over there" as Food Czar & spectator of WW1. Soon U.S. bank loans were endangered when Russians killed their prohibitionist Czar.  Even then the USA never went to war against Germany's poppy-farming Ottoman Allies. Australia and Canada did, suffered terrible losses and were...
