The 21st century opium war is well under way, and the aim here is to shine the light of truth on its hidden agenda.
Many are familiar with The Opium Wars of the 19th century.
If not, I suggest you take a look at this key point in history.

However, based on current events, it seems that a 21st century Opium War is in progress. Before examining the objectives of this war, we’ll first look at some of the core facets. These will be divided into an overt side, and a covert side.
Let’s start with the covert. Opium production has increased exponentially since the group of mind-controlled mercenaries known as the US military invaded Afghanistan in late 2001. The following numbers from the UN are very telling.

Aside from the immense profits to be gained from controlling an artificially high priced commodity (due to its illegality), our focus here is to be more on the psychological and physical effects on humans who consume opium and heroin.
Some telling numbers via an article by Sibel Edmonds on globalresearch.ca

There were 189,000 heroin users in the US in 2001, before the US-NATO invasion of Afghanistan. By 2016 that number went up to 4,500,000 (2.5 million heroin addicts and 2 million casual users). Heroin deaths shot up from 1,779 in 2001 to 10,574 in 2014 as Afghan opium poppy fields metastasized from 7,600 hectares in 2001 (when the US-NATO War in Afghanistan began) to 224,000 hectares in 2016. (One hectare equals approximately 2.5 acres).
The deaths are bad enough, but the people who use it regularly are neutralized mentally. What do I mean by “neutralized”?
Because a person hanging out all day in an opium den, aka their living room, is not a threat to the ruling oligarchy. They will not fight for liberty. They will be mentally incapable of taking right action in the world. This plays right into the hands of the dark occult ruling class.
So there is the covert side to the war against people’s minds.
Now for the overt.
We’ll now take a look at opioid-based prescription pharmaceutical use, which is far more widespread in the USSA (not a typo…..United Socialist States of America) than opium use is.
From Reuters
More than a third of US adults prescribed opioids in 2015……
…..“A very large proportion and large number of adults use these medications in a given year,” said study author Dr. Wilson Compton, deputy director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse in Bethesda, Maryland. “I was still a bit surprised that 38 percent or about 92 million people used prescription opioids in 2015.”……
That’s huge. So more than one third of people in the USSA took opioids. The ironic thing is, most of them are probably opposed to heroin use and are ignorant of the fact that their prescription has much in common with so-called illegal drugs like heroin.
So what are some of the “side effects” of opioids?
The ones I’d like to focus on here are:
Mental confusion, drowsiness, decreased alertness, and sedation. I might also add they can cause physical dependence.
Why is this so important?
Because people who feel like this consistently will do nothing to take right action in defense of liberty. They won’t physically or mentally be capable of doing so. Again, this is a common outcome from both the “illicit” use of heroin and opium and also the so-called legitimate medical use of opioids.
This is a common thread. This is one crucial point in the mind-control war being waged by the dark ruling occult against everyone else.
Again, I stress, over 30 percent used opioids in the USSA.
Do you think the ruling class is worried about losing their control to a bunch of drowsy, sedated, dependent people?
Please note: I am not saying that using drugs for occasional recreation, stress relief, pain relief, etc. is wrong. People have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies. However, my main point I wish to make in this article, is to point out why opioids are being pushed on people in both an overt and a covert manner.
It is used as a weapon for social control. Period.

Thanks for your time and attention!
Just say "NO" to slavery!

Years ago I read some book about the Opium War that the Brits launched against China. Can’t remember the name of the book or the author, but it was a real eye-opener.
Times change, but people rarely do.
The ancient trade triangle of money/drugs/weapons repeats again and again. Silver/alcohol/swords has morphed into fiat/opium/AK-47’s.
Good to hear from you. Yes, the Opium War is a fascinating piece of history. Hong Kong came under control of the British Empire as a result, HSBC was formed, among other things. Key points that led to where we are today.
Preach brother! I have been screaming this since i was in the military and found out my brother (who was also in the military serving in Afghanistan) was protecting poppy fields back in 2003! So glad other people are trying to educate the public about the truth of these bogus wars! And war in general... it is all a racket!
Well said, @moderndayhippie. Thanks for the comment. Were you in the Middle East as well?
yep, two tours in iraq. 03'-04' and 05'-06'
Have you written about any of your experiences?
No.. i have thought about it a few times but never really know what to say.. i saw quite a bit of combat so i didnt speak about any of my experiences for the better part of a decade.. i have finally gotten over that and i have been thinking about doing an article on the lessons i have learned from war. but just havent started it yet..
I wish you the best in your future writings! I just followed you and look forward to getting some first hand info from someone who's been there.
Thanks! I will try to remember to shoot you a comment when I drop that article in the next week or two. (You have inspired me to get on writing that article about war). Oh, I really love the name too ;) Take care.
Fight a war on terror there, a war on drugs here. It's been very obvious to a shit ton of people, but much less than most. Now kratom has been classified as an opiod, biologically, chemically makes absolutely zero sense. Where do we go from here? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for contributing to the dialogue. I only know a bit about Kratom from an interview I heard on Jeff Berwick's Anarchast. I need to do more research on it.
The vast majority of opium grown in Afghanistan goes to corporations who make pharmaceutical pain medications that are responsible for the heroin epidemic we are experiencing today. When addicts can no longer obtain the drugs legally, they turn to heroin which is cut with fentanyl that comes from Mexico via drug cartels. Some town morgues are so full with kids who have died from overdoses that they don’t know what to do.
Wow. Thanks for that info. Yes, I had a suspicion that much of the opium from Afghanistan was being used in pharmaceuticals. I didn't look deeply into that angle. Do you know where to find good information, specifically numbers, on Big Pharma using Afghan opium?
It is still a black market, but much of what is produced in Afghanistan finds its way into China, and is sold to pharmaceutical companies as opium from there. That is why the CIA is so hell bent on protecting the production of Poppie production in Afghanistan. Even if Afghan Opium does find it’s way to America, it goes through Central America before being sold to America’s youth.
According to the paramedic who trained us in basic CPR this week, heroin overdoses are rising even in our secluded area. Odd that it happens now...
Yes, even rural areas are affected. I guess that's what happens when the market gets flooded.
Without the war on drugs, crime would plummet and overdoses would fade away as the market moved into the open, quality was controlled by free competition, purity could be compared, and those who still wanted the stuff could know how much of what purity they could safely use. And those of us with no interest still wouldn't buy it anyway.
Thanks for another illuminating article. The world is so crazy.
Thanks for reading! Definitely no shortage of craziness in this world. Keep up the great work!
