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...

From The Hague to Wilson to Hitler, 1912

Image
  Yes there was a Crash and Depression in 1921 just as in 1914 when the Harrison Act, Income Tax and WW1 obtruded upon the nation's notice, and in 1907 when prohibition mania went viral. President Woodrow Wilson , himself a temperance man, vetoed the Volstead Act instituting fines, imprisonments, asset-forfeiture confiscations, padlocking and gunplay with live ammo in the War against Beer and the Demon Rum. Congress, by then a nest of Republican National Socialist and Progressive politicians, overrode the veto. The Senate proceeded to step on Wilson's beloved Treaty of Versailles and Charter of the League of Nations--both of which delegated substance prohibition powers to the League in their Articles 23. Senator Lodge wisely wrote: ( link ) 4. The United States reserves to itself exclusively the right to decide what questions are within its domestic jurisdiction and declares that all domestic and political questions relating wholly or in part to its internal affairs, including ...
