HSBC damaged by publication of UK tax avoidance scheme

[Magda Hassan]

It has a Larouchie whiff about it but this article is great! I especially like the following:

Contrary to popular opinion, it is not "demand" from the world's population which creates the mind destroying drug trade. Rather, it is the world financial oligarchy, looking for massive profits and the destruction of the minds of the population it is determined to dominate, which organized the drug trade. The case of HSBC underscores that point. Serving as the central bank of this global apparatus, is HSBC.

Yes. It is often potrayed as the rational benevolent market simply fulfilling the needs of the demanding consumers. Nothing about how that need was created and in whose interests that was.

In response, however, the British launched a propaganda campaign against China, accusing it of violating Britain's right to "free trade."

.....the 1856 Treaty of Tientsin, which legitimized the opium trade and opened China up to foreigners even more.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose! Just like the all the 'free trade' TPPs NAFTAs today. Free trade isn't free at all.

Freemasonry is a highly secretive society, making it an ideal vehicle for global drugs and arms trafficking.

Yes indeed!

It is this deadly opium empire that Gandhiji was very much conscious about and spoke out against for which he was jailed in 1921 by India's British rulers for "undermining the revenue". Having seen generations of Chinese youths rendered docile and passive Gandhijis was concerned over opium and its deadly effects on India which is clear from his letters. These opium production activities ran until 1924 in India and were stopped with the heroic efforts of Mahatma Gandhi who first agitated to remove opium production from India and destruction of China using Indian soil. Finally the British transferred the entire production to Afghanistan in 1924 handing the production to southern Afghani tribals which after 90 years became the golden crescent of opium production. Though the production is in the hands of Afghan tribals the distribution finance market control is still exercised by the same old British business houses or their proxies.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

The mode used to launder such drug money is through diamonds.

Of which HK was (is still?) a major player.
