  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...

  1911 sixpenny novel a prequel to Harrison Act, Hague Convention, WW1, Versailles treaty and King Kong. FROM THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNMENT HISTORIAN ( link ) Traffic in women and children , Armenians: Numbers were murdered by savage Kurds against whom the Turkish soldiery afforded no protection. Little girls of nine or ten were sold to Kurdish brigands for a few piastres, and women were promiscuously violated. At Sivas an instance was related of a teacher in the Sivas Teachers’ College, a gentle, refined Armenian girl, speaking English, knowing music, attractive by the standards of any land, who was given in enforced marriage to the Beg of a neighboring Kurdish village, a filthy ragged ruffian three times her age, with whom she still has to live, and by whom she has borne a child. In the orphanage there maintained under American Relief auspices, there were one hundred and fifty “brides”, being girls, many of them of tender age, who had been living as wives in Moslem homes, and had ...

  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 ...

  Again, this is that same chart showing unemployment and recessions 1973-74 : The DOW was high early 1973 as the pro-choice, anti-draft Libertarian Party got an electoral vote. Women became rightful individuals a couple of weeks later and the U.S. was driven out of Vietnam as unemployment dropped to 1960 levels. Nixon's Watergate burglars soon dominated the news until mid-October , when a Brussels bank was investigated for odd exchange transactions with German banks.( link ) The  New York Dow Jones average dropped from 1000 to about 600. Germany down from 800 to 550. France dropped from 100 to below 50. London dropped from 500 to 175. Italy showed wild zigzags, net loss. Holland dropped from 170 to below 100. Australia dropped from 650 to 75. Canada fell from 220 to below 150. Japan down from 410 to 275. Hong Kong 1000, spiked to 1800, then dropped to about 220... Why?  On 22JAN1973 , the same day the  Supreme Court voted by a margin of 7-2 that a woman had a consti...
