Video: American families got very rich by selling Opium to China 美國家族通過向中國出售鴉片而致富
Professor Kenneth Hammond: The Forbes family, as in John Forbes Kerry, were also great drug profiteers. New England Brahmins dominated the American branch of the opium trade. They sourced their drugs from the Ottoman Empire rather than India. The US Marines were organized to provide security for American drug dealers sailing through the Mediterranean at the end of the 18th & beginning of the 19th century. Local rulers on the North African coast sought to charge transit fees for passage through their waters, which the Americans portrayed as extortion (the Barbary Pirates), so the federal government created a military force to protect drug profits. “From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.”
