• England was humanity's first major drug smuggler and drug dealer. In 1800, the opium trade in China was banned by decree.
• Western merchants in England and France, the first major drug cartel, asked for the military protection of their governments to intervene by blocking the main Chinese ports and imposing the consumption of opium with cannon fire.
• English ships refused to obey the prohibition decree and continued to unload their opium in the port of Canton.
• In the spring of 1830, in the exercise of its full authority and sovereignty, the Chinese government proceeded to incinerate 20,000 boxes of opiates, a fact that later gave rise to “The Opium War”.
• Thus, ancient China was invaded by English troops who occupied the city of Shanghai, reached Nankin and destroyed the naval power of this ancient Asian civilization, occupying, for two decades, the main ports of that country. However, on land, the Chinese people continued to fight until they achieved the definitive expulsion of the invading forces and the eradication of opium consumption.
• A century later, in 1945, when the Communist China of Mao Tse Tung achieved the triumph of its people against all foreign powers, still from Hong Kong, as a colonial enclave, the British Crown continued to traffic opium to everyone.
• Hong Kong's opium smokers spread to Indochina, France, England and the United States, keeping one of the most perverse businesses afloat, from which British Crown companies and banks in the so-called “City of London” deducted large fortunes.
• It was the great cartel of the British East India Company that organized the First Opium War, led by military forces from England and, later France, against wise and peaceful China.
• The Great Opium War was fought with the participation of the very members of the old British monarchy and the opulent banking houses of the “City of London”.
• Today, in 2025, the United States, like England and France, between 1839 and 1869, has seized the traffic and control of the distribution of illegal drugs in the world, as a weapon of domination, illicit enrichment and pretext for war.
• In these criminal operations, the former British East India Company has been replaced by the tax havens of money-laundering drug banks and federal agencies of the United States government, giving rise to the cartel responsible for supplying more than 75 million consumers who desperately come daily to satisfy their addiction to microtrafficking outlets that operate freely in all cities and towns in the United States.
• This Second Opium War is concentrated in the United States, with its own population as its main consumer victims.
• On the old bridge or road that was in the well-known Golden Triangle of Indochina, dirty money was being laundered in Hong Kong.
• Since 1980, this dynamic has changed tremendously. England's Golden Triangle lost its hegemony and the so-called “Waxing Moon” emerged, with Afghanistan and Burma (Myanmar) in Southeast Asia and Mexico and Colombia in the Western Hemisphere, as the major producers of crops and opium derivatives and the United States as the great center of consumption.
