(TIME, December 18, 1989 and July 6, 1981)

• To understand the reality of the current appalling political and economic crisis that the United States is suffering, it is necessary to reconstruct the facts and contemplate some scenarios that have contributed to the collapse of that empire.

• Venezuela is currently resisting the largest naval siege and blockade in its history, and the United States is plunging into a debt that increases at the rate of $69,000 per second, that is, it increases by 2 trillion dollars per month.

• This incinerates every second the hegemony of U$D as a universal reserve currency.

• At this very moment when everyone is fleeing the dollar and buying their public debt bonds is going very badly, the purchase of gold soars and the entire financial system is taking refuge in it.

• Today, December 10, 2025, the price of an ounce of Troy gold broke an all-time record, standing at $4,219.35 (31 grams). In other words, under the subsoil of the Guiana Massif there are sufficient certified reserves to re-establish a new world order of the economy. A long way from the curse of the inorganic dollar.

• Why is this happening? Why is the U.S. dollar so harmful and toxic? Because it is not a currency, it is a whip of war and to that end, to sustain their hegemony, they have not hesitated to incorporate drug laundering into their economy.

• Let's go back to 1989, when thousands of American citizens knocked on the doors of financial agencies, such as the French bank Credit Lyon-Nais, located in the Netherlands Antille of Curaçao, and asked the manager to deposit an amount close to one million dollars in their name. The manager, as the only control, exercised the rigor question: Is that money contaminated? Faced with the categorical response of the clients asserting that it was pristine money, the executive then proceeded to make the appropriate arrangements to make a “Dutch Sandwich”.

• This dark banking labyrinth, which is still used today by the 500 largest corporations in the world to “evade taxes” in the United States, also allows more than 7 million small briefcase companies to launder a trillion U$D a year in a procedure that only takes 48 hours; legalizing, almost instantly, hundreds of millions of low-denomination bills from the sale of cocaine in luxury offices and restaurants, and crack in the violent streets of poor neighborhoods in the United States.

• There, local cocaine and crack traffickers find all the necessary technical banking assistance, taking advantage of the money-laundering boom in “Tax Havens” that serve the world's most powerful corporations to evade taxes.

• How? Using “The Dutch Sandwich”, the overbilling, the double billing and the scheme invented by the Reagan Administration government to articulate the triangulation of selling crack, buying weapons and funding armed political movements known as “Iran Contra”. Namely:

  • A drug trafficking cycle carried out in the United States under the cover of a briefcase company dedicated to the purchase and sale of gold operates as follows:
  • Boxes of low-denomination banknotes from the sale of cocaine and crack are packaged by jewelry companies in New York, Houston and Los Angeles.
  • To give the appearance of shipping gold ingots, they were simulated with fake gold bars from Uruguay.
  • The sealed packages are transported in high-security trucks by the cartel that controls the sale of gold in Los Angeles.
  • The cash, in hidden low-denomination banknotes, is deposited in banks under the fictitious operation of buying and selling gold in retail.
  • These deposits are transferred by cartels that control bank accounts in Manhattan. There they are charged to offshore accounts in Panama or Caribbean Islands.
  • Finally, they are transferred to secret accounts in Europe and Hong Kong, where, without restrictions, they are removed by agents hired by American, Colombian, Central American or any other nationality drug traffickers.
  • The one described above is the same road map and scheme used in the case of the sale of crack in poor neighborhoods of Los Angeles in the Iran Contra scandal.
  • In these cycles of legitimation or money laundering, much of the recycled money returns to the United States to make investments, especially in the real estate market.
  • In the marketing chain of cocaine and crack in the United States, in 1989, 1 kilo of pure cocaine was worth $11,000 before entering U.S. territory.
  • The same kilo is traded within the US for $60,000.
  • 50% adulterated (2 kg.) it sells for $120,000. Converted to “one-gram lines” it produced $500,000.
  • Today, a gram of pure cocaine in the hands of the final consumer costs $500. In other words, the traffic, consumer and drug laundering industry has increased fivefold.

• Within the United States, the restriction has been the freezing and investigation of suspicious accounts with deposits greater than $10,000. To this end, drug trafficking uses millions of shell companies that serve as a front to make multiple transactions for smaller amounts without being tracked.

• For the big Drug Lords, there are bank branches strategically located in Manhattan, Bermuda, Jamaica, The Bahamas and Cayman, as well as Dutch branches in Curaçao, Aruba and Bonaire.

• In Europe, they are located on English Channel Islands (Isle of Man and Yersey), Luxembourg and Liechtenstein.

• And in the Far East, there is the large money launderer of illegal origin located in Hong Kong, under the control of British authorities until 1997. These authorities who for more than a century and a half have been the pioneers in the trafficking and laundering of dirty money on a global level: “The Opium War”.

• From the trillion-dollar 12-digit business (12 zeros according to the English scale) of drug trafficking, resulting from the sales of Marijuana, Cocaine, Crack, Heroin, Methamphetamine, Crystal Methamphetamine, Opiates and Fentanyl, distributed in every corner of the United States and Europe, the global financial system has incorporated into its accounts the juicy profits of 10% per year.

• Thus, under these pyramidal traps, the Dutch Sandwich and the Iran Contra scheme, used as undetectable subterfuges by large corporations, bankers and drug traffickers, trillions of dollars mixed in the flow of globalization and tax evasion have been laundered.

• Trillions of U$D have been legalized since 1980 by local U.S. drug traffickers and Mexican-Colombian border drug traffickers within the circulatory flow of the world economy, under a vast fabric of complicity.

• Thanks to the boom in the globalization of the economy, drug washing machines expanded in unnoticed tax havens in:

  • USA: Los Angeles, New York, South Florida and South Texas and Southern Canada.
  • In the Caribbean Sea: Netherlands Antilles, The Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Bermuda and Panama.
  • In Europe: The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, British Channel Islands, Principality of Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
  • In Asia: Hong Kong, under the control of the Bank of England until 1997.

• The Dutch Sandwich has been a tax evasion strategy widely used by large multinational corporations to transfer profits from the US and the European Union to offshore havens and avoid withholding taxes.

• The inventor of this game of cat and mouse, to give refuge to immense fortunes of illicit origin, is former Dutch minister Joop Wijn. Another intricate maze of financial escape, more refined, is the sophisticated scheme known as “The Double Irish”.

• A pearl: between 1980 and 2004, when the US Anti-Narcotics Agency, known by its acronym DEA, raised the alarm about the black market for drug trafficking before Presidents Reagan, Bush (father), Clinton and Bush Jr., demanding laws that would force the financial system to reveal the identities of the millions of owners of secret accounts who carry out transactions of dubious legitimacy, the answer was one: to expose everyone's identity What millions of daily transactions carry out would cause a banking stampede that would cause the economy to collapse.

• In view of the above, the DEA and its thousands of undercover agents have increased their participation in the business.
