"The 99 year British lease on Hong Kong
expired in July allowing the Red Chinese to take
over. Hundreds of newspaper stories and TV reports have
covered this event but not one revealed how England first gained
control of Hong Kong! The truth lies buried in the
family line of David Sassoon, "The
Rothschilds of The Far East," and their monopoly over the
opium trade. Britain won Hong Kong by launching the opium
Wars to give the Sassoons exclusive rights to drug an
entire nation!
"David Sassoon was born in Baghdad, Iran in 1792. His
father, Saleh Sassoon, was a wealthy banker and the
treasurer to Ahmet Pasha, the governor of
Baghdad. (Thus making him the "court Jew" - a highly
influential position.) In 1829 Ahmet was overthrown
due to corruption and the Sassoon family fled to Bombay,
India. This was the strategic trade route to interior India
and the gateway to the Far East. In a brief time the
British government granted Sassoon "monopoly rights" to
all manufacture of cotton goods, silk and most
important of all - Opium - then the most addictive drug in the
world!
"The Jewish Encyclopedia of 1905, states that Sassoon
expanded his opium trade into China and Japan. He placed
his eight sons in charge of the various major opium
exchanges in China. According to the 1944 Jewish
Encyclopedia: "He employed only Jews in his business, and
wherever he sent them he built synagogues and schools for
them. He imported whole families of fellow Jews. . . and
put them to work."
"Sassoon's sons were busy pushing this mind-destroying drug
in Canton, China. Between 1830 - 1831 they trafficked
18,956 chests of opium earning millions of dollars. Part of the
profits went to Queen Victoria and the British
government. In the year 1836 the trade increased to over 30,000
chests and drug addiction in coastal cities became endemic.
"In 1839, the Manchu Emperor ordered that it be
stopped. He named the Commissioner of Canton, Lin
Tse-hsu, to lead a campaign against opium. Lin seized
2,000 chests of Sassoon opium and threw it into the river.
An outraged David Sassoon demanded that Great Britain
retaliate. Thus, the Opium Wars began with the
British Army fighting as mercenaries of the
Sassoons. They attacked cities and blockaded ports. The
Chinese Army, decimated by 10 years of rampant opium
addiction, proved no match for the British Army. The war ended in
1839 with the signing of "The Treaty of
Nanking." This included provisions especially designed
to guarantee the Sassoons the right to enslave an
entire population with opium. The "peace treaty"
included these provisions: "1) Full legalization of the
opium trade in China, 2) compensation from the opium
stockpiles confiscated by Lin of 2 million pounds, 3)
territorial sovereignty for the British Crown over several
designated offshore islands.
" Sassoon's Use British Army to Drug An Entire
Nation
British Prime Minister Palmerston wrote Crown Commissiner
Captain Charles Elliot that the treaty didn't go far
enough. He said it should have been rejected out of hand
because: "After all, our naval power is so strong that
we can tell the Emperor what we mean to hold rather than what he
would cede. We must demand the admission of opium into
interior China as an article of lawful commerce and
increase the indemnity payments and British access to
several additional Chinese ports." Thus, China not only had
to pay Sassoon the cost of his dumped opium but reimburse
England an unheard sum of 21 million pounds for the cost of
the war!
"This gave the Sassoon's monopoly rights to distribute
opium in port cities. However, even this was
not good enough and Sassoon demanded the right to sell opium
throughout the nation. The Manchus resisted and the British Army
again attacked in the "Second Opium War fought 1858 -
1860. Palmerston declared that all of interior China
must be open for uninterrupted opium traffic. The British
suffered a defeat at the Taku Forts in June 1859 when sailors,
ordered to seize the forts, were run aground in the
mud-choked harbor. Several hundred were killed or captured.
An enraged Palmerston said: "We shall
teach such a lesson to these perfidious hordes that the
name of Europe will hereeafter be a passport of fear."
"In October, the British besieged Peking. When the city
fell, British commander Lord Elgin, ordered the
temples and other sacred shrines in the city sacked and
burned to the ground as a show of Britain's absolute
comtempt for the Chinese. In the new "Peace Treaty" of
Oct.25, 1860, the British were assigned rights to
vastly expanded opium trade covering seven-eights of
China, which brought in over 20 million pounds in
1864 alone. In that year, the Sassoons imported
58,681 chests of opium and by 1880 it had skyrocketed
to 105,508 chests making the Sassoons the richest
Jews in the world. England was given the Hong Kong peninsula as a
colony and large sections of Amoy, Canton, Foochow, Ningpo
and Shanghai. The Sassoons were now licensing opium
dens in each British occupied area with large fees being
collected by their Jewish agents. Sassoon would not allow
any other race to engage in "the Jews' business."
However, the British government would not allow any opium
to be imported into Europe!
"Sassoon "Monopoly Rights" Wrecked
Lancashire - England's Textile Industry - Made Roosevelt
Wealthy
Sir Albert Sassoon, the eldest of David
Sassoon's sons took over the family
"business" empire. He constructed huge textile mills in
Bombay to pay slave labor wages. This expansion continued after
World War One and ended up putting mills in
Lancashire, England out of business with thousands
losing their jobs. This did not stop Queen Victoria from
having Albert knighted in 1872. Solomon Sassoon moved to
Hong Kong and ran the family business there
until his death in 1894. Later, the entire family moved to
England because with modern communications they could
operate their financial empire from their luxurious estates
in London. They socialized with royalty and Edward Albert.
Sassoon married Aline Caroline de Rothschild in 1887 which linked
their fortune with that of the Rothschilds. The Queen
also had Edward knighted. All 14 of the grandsons of David
Sassoon were made officers during World War One and
thus most were able to avoid combat.
"Franklin D. Roosevelt's fortune was inherited from
his maternal grandfather Warren Delano. In 1830 he was a senior
partner of Russell & Company. It was their
merchant fleet which carried Sassoon's opium to China and
returned with tea. Warren Delano moved to Newburgh, N.Y. In
1851 his daughter Sara Married a well-born neighbor,
James Roosevelt - the father of Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. He always knew the origin of the family fortune but
refused to discuss it.
" The Sassoon opium trade brought death and destruction to
millions and still plagues Asia to this day. Their
company was totally operated by Jews ONLY!
"The corrupt British monarchy honored them with
privilege and knighthood - to the
disgrace of the Crown! To this day the Sassoons are in the
history books as "great developers" of India but the
source of their vast wealth is never mentioned!"
