HISTORIC BACKGROUND OF THE DRUG WAR: RACE, TRADE, AND SUPPRESSION
The understanding of “The War on Drugs” is understanding the rape of China and that racism is an integral part of the structure of the economy of the United States of America.
If one has properly studied pharmacy and the origins of medicinals such as Opium and the cultivation of the poppy seed plant, it is nearly impossible not to stumble upon the “Opium Wars.”
“…China simply adopted Alexander Hamilton’s 11-point Plan for American manufacturing…”
How the sick MAN of Asia got well
Understanding “The Opium War” is also understanding that much of the wealth of the American Elite was built upon the forced imposition of opium onto China.
The gold mine of drugs (opium) for the American elite in the 19th century funded much of the Industrial Revolution and endowed universities such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Brandeis, while China and its people were victims; “the sick man of Asia.”
Thus, it is acid etched into the minds of every living person within the Chinese State; one will never be allowed to forget the 100 years of humiliation. Stratification of the Chinese Economy by Britain, the United States, Japan, and other Colonial powers was essential in controlling the people of China.
According to Peter Coy, June 4, 2020, writing for Bloomberg Businessweek:
“Any modern analysis of race relation has to be grounded in the fact that the United States of America was built on the backs of enslaved Africans and that leading thinkers of the day defended slavery based on economic grounds.”
This, coupled with the Chinese trade in Opium, built, fueled, and funded much of the Industrial Revolution in America, generating massive wealth.
Most importantly, this helps further to understand the Chinese Government’s and its people’s attitudes toward the United States and European Powers.
CHINA: A CENTURY OF HUMILIATION
The Opium Wars and the Boxer Rebellion (Yihequan) resulted in a nearly century of humiliation in which Western powers extracted high concessions from the Chinese People. These Westerners ruthlessly and brutally imposed opium upon the Chinese population, which undermined centuries of intellectual and progressive thought.
Therefore, countries like China are very unlikely to give the United States any sympathetic understanding as to the so-called “Opioid Epidemic” we are suffering through.
CHINA EDUCATED ITS POPULATION UNDER COMMUNISM AND LEARNED TO MASTER CAPITALISM AND THE US AT ITS OWN GAME
China, through communism, educated its people. The Chinese learned how to integrate socialism and capitalism (they used socialism to get their act together) to educate and train their own people.
When China succeeded in education, it employed capitalism against the West and beat them at its own game. The discussion between communism and capitalism has always been about who would control the means of production and distribution. Either one can produce or one can’t.
The 100 years of humiliation have further taught China that no power will ever get close enough to ride its warships (armed with HVP-guided projectiles) up the Yangtze and Pearl Rivers without facing a significant deterrent.
A full view having now been taken of the inducements to the promotion of manufactures in the United States accompanied with an examination of the principal objections which are commonly urged in opposition, it is proper, in the next place, to consider the means by which it may be effected.…
To better judge the means proper to be resorted to by the United States, it will be helpful to advertise to those who have been employed successfully in other countries. The principal of these are—
ALEXANDER HAMILTON’S 11-POINTS FOR AMERICAN MANUFACTURES
I. Protecting duties—or duties on those foreign articles that are rivals of the domestic ones intended to be encouraged.
Duties of this nature amount to a virtual bounty on the domestic fabrics, since by enhancing the charges on foreign articles, they enable the national manufacturers to undersell all their foreign competitors.…[I]t has the additional recommendation of being a revenue resource. Indeed, all the duties imposed on imported articles, though with an exclusive view to revenue, affect contemplation, and, except where they fill on raw materials, they have a beneficent effect on the country’s manufacturers.
II. Prohibitions of rival articles or duties equivalent to prohibitions.
This is another and a productive means of encouraging national manufactures…Of duties equivalent to prohibitions, there are examples in the laws of the United States…but they are not numerous.…[I]t might almost be said, by the principles of distributive justice; certainly by the duty of endeavoring to secure to their own citizens reciprocity of advantages.
III. Prohibitions of the exportation of manufacturing materials.
The desire to secure a cheap and plentiful supply for the national workmen, and, where the article is either peculiar to the country or of peculiar quality there, the jealousy of enabling foreign workmen to rival those of the nation with its own materials are the leading motives to this species of regulation.… It is seen at once that its immediate operation is to abridge the demand and keep down the price of the produce of some other branch of industry, generally speaking, of agriculture, to the prejudice of those who carry it on. Though if it be essential to the prosperity of any very important national manufacture, it may happen that those who are injured in the first instance may eventually indemnified by the superior steadiness of an extensive domestic market depending on that prosperity: yet in a matter, in which there is so much room for nice and difficult combinations, in which such opposite considerations combat each other, prudence seems to dictate, that the expedient in question ought to be indulged with a sparing hand.
IV. Pecuniary bounties.
This has been found to be one of the most productive means of encouraging manufacturers, and it is in some views the best, though it has not yet been practiced by the government of the United States (unless the allowance on the exportation of dried and pickled fish and salted meat, could be considered as a bounty,) and though it is less favored by public opinion than some other modes, its advantages are these—
- It is a species of encouragement more positive and direct than any other, and for that very reason, it has a more immediate tendency to stimulate and uphold new enterprises, increasing the chances of profit and diminishing the risks of loss in the first attempts.
- It avoids the inconvenience of a temporary augmentation of price, which is incident to some other modes, or it produces it to a lesser degree, either by making no addition to the charges on the rival foreign article, as in the case of protecting duties, or by creating a smaller addition. The first happens when the fund for the bounty is derived from a different object (which may or may not increase the price of some other article, according to the nature of that object); the second occurs when the fund is derived from the same or a similar object of foreign manufacture—one percent. Duty on the foreign article converted into a bounty on the domestic will have an equal effect with a two percent duty. Exclusive of such bounty, the price of the foreign commodity is liable to be raised, in the one case, in the proportion of one percent; in the other, in that of two percent. Indeed, the bounty, when drawn from another source, is calculated to promote a reduction of price because, without laying any new charge on the foreign article, it serves to introduce competition with it and to increase the total quantity of the article in the market.
- Bounties have not, like high protecting duties, a tendency to produce scarcity.…
- Bounties are sometimes not only the best but also the only proper expedient for uniting the encouragement of a new object.…
The true way to conciliate these two interests is to lay a duty on foreign manufacturers of the material whose growth is desired to be encouraged and to apply the bounty of that duty either upon the production of the material itself, upon its manufacture at home, or upon both.…
[P] Ecuniary bounties are, in most cases, indispensable to introducing a new branch.… Bounties are especially essential in regard to articles upon which those foreigners who have been accustomed to supplying a country are in the practice of granting them.
The continuance of bounties on manufactures long established must almost always be of questionable policy because a presumption would arise in every such case that there were natural and inherent impediments to success. But in new undertakings, they are as justifiable, as they are oftentimes necessary.…
V. Premiums.
These are of a nature allied to bounties, though distinguishable from them in some important features.
Bounties are applicable to the whole quantity of an article produced or manufactured, or exported, and involve a correspondent expense—Premiums serve to reward some particular excellence or superiority, some extraordinary exertion or skill, and are dispensed only in a small number of cases. But their effect is to stimulate general effort.…
VI. The exemption of the [raw] materials of manufactures from duty.
The policy of that exemption, as a general rule, particularly in reference to new establishments, is obvious.…Of a nature bearing some affinity to that policy is the regulation exempting from duty the tools and implements, as well as the books, clothes, and household furniture of foreign artists who come to reside in the United States; an advantage already secured to them by the laws of the Union, and which it is, in every view, proper to continue.
VII. Drawbacks of the duties which are imposed on the materials of manufactures.…
[S]uch drawbacks are familiar in countries which systematically pursue the business of manufactures; which furnishes an argument for the observance of a similar policy in the United States; and the idea has been adopted by the laws of the Union, in the instances of salt and molasses. It is believed that it will be advantageous to extend it to other articles.
VIII. The encouragement of new inventions and discoveries at home and of the introduction into the United States of such as may have been made in other countries, particularly those which relate to machinery.
This is among the most useful and unexceptionable of the aids which can be given to manufacturers. The usual means of that encouragement are pecuniary rewards and, for a time, exclusive privileges. The first must be employed according to the invention or discovery’s occasion and utility. For the last, so far as respects “authors and inventors,” provision has been made by law.…
It is customary with manufacturing nations to prohibit, under severe penalties, the exportation of implements and machines which they have either invented or improved.… As far as prohibitions tend to prevent foreign competitors from deriving the benefit of the improvements made at home, they tend to increase the advantages of those by whom they may have been introduced; and operate as an encouragement to exertion.
IX. Judicious regulations for the inspection of manufactured commodities.
This is not among the least important of the means by which the prosperity of manufactures may be promoted. It is, indeed, in many cases one of the most essential. Contributing to prevent frauds upon consumers at home, and exporters to foreign countries—to improve the quality and preserve the character of the national manufactures…
X. The facilitating of pecuniary remittances from place to place—
It is a point of considerable moment to trade in general and to manufacturers in particular by rendering the purchase of raw materials and provisions easier and the payment for manufactured supplies. A general circulation of bank paper, which is expected from the institution that has recently established it, will be the most valuable means to this end.
XI. The transportation of commodities is facilitated.
Improvements favoring this object intimately concern all the domestic interests of a community, but they may, without impropriety, be mentioned as having an important relation to manufactures. There is perhaps scarcely anything which has been better calculated to assist the manufacturers of Great Britain than the meliorations of the public roads of that kingdom and the great progress which has been of late made in opening canals. Of the former, the United States stands much in need…
These examples, it is to be hoped, will stimulate the exertions of the government and citizens of every state. There can certainly be no object more worthy of the cares of the local administrations, and it was to be wished that there was no doubt of the power of the national government to lend its direct aid on a comprehensive plan. This is one of those improvements which could be prosecuted more effectively by the whole than by any part or parts of the Union.…
The following remarks are sufficiently judicious and pertinent to deserve a literal quotation: “Good roads, canals, and navigable rivers, by diminishing the expense of carriage, put the remote parts of a country more nearly upon a level with those in the neighborhood of a town. They are, upon that account, the greatest of all improvements.”…
It may confidently be affirmed that scarcely anything has been devised better calculated to excite a general spirit of improvement than the institutions of this nature. They are truly invaluable.
In countries with great private wealth, the voluntary contributions of patriotic individuals may affect many. Still, in a community like the United States, the public purse must supply the deficiency of private resources. How can it be so useful as to prompt and improve the industry’s efforts?
